Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Orion stood straight , his voice cool and detached , So , whats the outcome ? I nailed it , of course ! The principal had me retake a different test , and I scored even higher than on the midterms . Lemira couldnt help but lift her chin a bit in pride . It seemed like the joy of her victory found its true significance only upon seeing Orion . Orion , his gaze slightly lowered , asked in a calm tone , Did they apologize ? Lemira paused for a moment , was he referring to Evelina and Alaric ? She shook her head , Only the scapegoat said sorry . The ones pulling the strings didnt , but I couldnt care less . Ive already given them a taste of their own medicine ! And it felt fantastic ! Asmile graced Orions refined features as he spoke , Meet me after school . With that , he left . Lemira noticed someone approaching in the hallway , so she didnt ask any further questions . Turning around , she headed back to her classroom . The usually noisy classroom had quieted down a bit . The teacher soon came in to announce that Lemiras scores were legitimate , clearing her of any cheating allegations . Evelina , slouched over her desk , was in a foul mood , her interest in even cakes waning . She needed a plan . There was no way Lemira could outperform her . How could Lemira possibly be better than her ? After school , Lemira made her way directly to the infirmary . Orion , sitting in a chair , glanced back at her , Finished your homework ? The teacher had us review our mistakes , and Ive done that . She hadnt made many mistakes , only on topics she hadnt reviewed well or fully understood . Orion tapped the computer beside him , Ready for a game ? Got an account ? Yeah , but I feel like starting a new one . Perfect , Im not using my main either . Orion didnt plan on using his main account to play with her . After Lemira launched the game , she randomly picked a username : SweetLemon . Once they entered the game , she looked at Orion , Whats your username ? Lets add each other as friends . Lemira sneakily glanced at his screen , finding his username somewhat familiar : Time Rewind . It instantly reminded her of something In her past life , she had an online friend with the exact same name . Orion raised an eyebrow , What are you looking at ? Accept the friend request . Lemiras cheeks flushed as she hurriedly accepted , feeling a wave of excitement looking at their avatars in the game . But in her past life , she didnt meet her online friend at this time . Maybe it was just a coincidence ? Lemira sneaked another look at him , Why did you choose that name ? Orion paused , his gaze lowered , Just picked it randomly . Lemira nodded , thinking maybe it really was a coincidence . Once they started playing , they headed straight for the beginners area to start their quests . Lemira could tell Orion wasnt a newbie . He probably switched to a low level account to play with her , but she didnt pry . Yet , his gameplay reminded her so much of that person . She couldnt help but ask , Is your main account also named this ? No Is this the first time youre playing games with this name for an account ? Orion looked at her , Yeah , why ? Lemira quickly looked down , feeling her face heat up , No reason . She was conflicted . Could he really be that person ? But it didnt align with when she met her online friend in her past life . Back then , it was after the playoff that she encountered him . He taught her how to improve her gaming skills , helping her advance to the 1/2 22:40 Chapter 26 finals . Even though she never met her online friend before she died , she was grateful for his support during her toughest times . Distracted , Lemira and Orion managed to complete their tasks and move out of the beginners area . As they were about to start another quest , they ran into another team . Lemira revealed a scornful look as she saw the teams name . It was Alaric and Evelina . Orions eyes narrowed slightly , Wanna go for it ? To do what ? Were on low level accounts , and our gear cant match theirs . Itd be suicide . Though she said that , Lemira felt a spark of thrill . Orion suggested , Lets wait until theyre almost done with their quest . When theyre low on health , well swoop in and steal their Boss . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
