Chapter 172 Getting Her To Notice Him.(2)
Not all students of the same age or close to the same age would be in the same classroom. They can be divided into two to three classrooms but would be learning the same thing.
So even if he wasn't in her classroom, wouldn't she have noticed him? Wouldn't his face be familiar? That was the thought running through her mind.
'Guess I wouldn't know everyone, maybe he's been in this academy for some time now, but I haven't just noticed him'. That was what she concluded.
Aiden didn't know what was running through her mind, but from the way she was glancing at him and the expression on her face, Aiden guessed that she might be pondering something.
Her gaze was just focused on him as he was strolling toward her. At first, she thought he wanted to approach her, but she later discerned that wasn't his plan due to where his gaze was focused.
..He walked past her, and she swiveled her head around just to glance at him...that's exactly what Aiden wanted.
He noticed that she swiveled her head around to glance at him after he walked past her...and that was like jackpot to him. A smirk appeared on his face at that moment, he was achieving his aim.
He didn't glance back, he was just walking forward with that smirk still plastered to his face. You know that feeling when a pretty girl has her gaze fixed on you? Yes, that's exactly how Aiden was feeling right now.
She glanced at him for some seconds more before diverting her gaze somewhere else. At this point, Aiden didn't even know where he was heading, this wasn't his academy...so which place does he want to enter?
..The worst case would be if she still got her eyes fixed on him.
Wouldn't it be foolish for someone to just stroll forward and then suddenly turn around and began walking back? Yeah, that's somehow, and he didn't want Lucia to see that.
The reason why he strolled forward was for her to notice him not like he had anywhere in mind he was heading to. And he achieved that, she noticed him...now he needed to turn around and begin heading back.
..But as said, he doesn't want her to see it so she wouldn't take him as a foolish person.
What would he do now? And it was at that moment that a thought struck his head, he can ask his system for help. He called out on his system from the mind...
'System'.
<Yes, host>
'Is Lucia glancing at me currently?'.
<No, she isn't>
..And it's settled, Aiden had confirmed that Lucia wasn't glancing at him currently, he could turn around now.
He turned around, and truly, Lucia wasn't glancing at him anymore. She was still standing on one spot though...but she had moved forward a little. She wasn't glancing at Aiden currently, but at least, he got her to notice him, that was the most important.
He couldn't help but thank the system in his mind. But his job wasn't done, yes, she had noticed him, but there were still some things that needed to be done. He planned on making use of one of the seduction skills he's unlocked this time.
..A little smirk appeared on his face once again as he began strolling toward Lucia.
He was walking toward her for the second time...and he had a huge plan in mind. As he was getting closer to Lucia, he uttered in his mind,
'Activate irresistible fragrance'.
<Irresistible fragrance has been activated>
<5 Skill points have been deducted from your skill points>
..And it's done, Aiden began perceiving a nice scent at that moment, and it was coming from his body.
It was so strong that even he can perceive it. And the scent was different from how it was the last time he activated it...whether this one wasn't better.
Anybody he walked past perceived it. There were still students on the compound, some were standing just like Lucia waiting for someone to come pick them up. So all the people he walked past perceived the nice fragrance.
..And you know what? They had their eyes focused on him as he strolled...how was he smelling this good?
This was the question running through their minds after he walked past them. He had gotten so close to Lucia by now, and he knew this was gonna work out on her...it was working out on other people.
He walked past her, and the moment he was walking past, the nice fragrance was going into her nose. The scent was one of a kind, it was really good...why do you think it was called the irresistible fragrance?
He didn't spray any perfume, but he was smelling this good...wasn't that nice? As said, as he was walking past her, the nice fragrance was going into her nose, and she had to glance at him at that moment.
Who was the person smelling this nice? What kind of perfume did the person spray?...
..And it happened to be Aiden, that same boy that walked past her some seconds ago.
Now, not only had she noticed him fully, she had become curious about him. Not only was he handsome, he was also smelling this good? What kind of expensive perfume did he spray?
But he wasn't smelling this nice the first time he walked past her...that was the part that was making her a little confused.
But she decided to push that aside, all she knew was that he was charming. A cute face with that kind of nice scent coming out of his body...men, he was just charming, no denying it.
She had come across many boys, in fact, she was close to a lot of boys currently, and none of them had ever smelled this nice...you know, that kind of nice fragrance coming out of their bodies.
She just focused her gaze on Aiden as he was still strolling, she almost called him, but she just held herself. Aiden had that same smirk on his face as he was walking out of the compound. And the thought that ran through his mind was,
'The irresistible fragrance has done its job'.
He didn't dare glance back as he was strolling 'cause he knew she'd definitely be glancing at him...he doesn't want their eyes to meet.
He inactivated the skill while he was still strolling, and by now, he had already walked out of the school compound...the seduction had already begun.
Throughout the time Aiden was walking out of the school compound until he was out of it completely, Lucia had her gaze fixed on him. Had she fallen for him?...ummm, to a certain extent.
..I mean, she had come across lots of cute boys, she had even...Aiden was no different from them.
But there was something special about Aiden, there was something that differentiated him from other boys. To her, Aiden had charisma, the way he walked, and so on.
..And most importantly, that nice fragrance that just came out of his body the moment he walked past her.
She was contemplating if she had ever smelled something that nice before, and she couldn't seem to remember one. Yes, she had perceived different nice fragrances before, but Aiden's own was really strong.
'How come I haven't seen him in this academy before?'. She thought to herself.
..Yes, she was contemplating this again, she was expecting to have seen him even once if he was truly in this academy.
'Maybe I've seen him before but can't seem to remember anymore'. She thought to herself once again, that's what she concluded this time.
She was busy thinking about Aiden when a palm held her right shoulder, and it shocked her a little 'cause her mind had gone far. She glanced at the person, and it was that boy Aiden saw in a carriage with her yesterday.
Lucia was waiting for the knight to come pick her up, but she was also waiting for the boy...and he was just arriving. He was a student of this academy as well just as Aiden thought, and he had been handling something in his classroom, that's why he was just arriving now.
The moment he held her right shoulder and she glanced at him, he uttered to her,
"Have your mind been wandering? What were you thinking?".
"Nothing". She responded.
"Come on, tell me what you've been thinking". He uttered once again.
"I said it was nothing". She can never tell him what has been running through her mind, it would only lead to something else 'cause of the kind of relationship they had.
He sighed a little then said to her again, "He hasn't arrived to pick us up?".
..He was referring to the knight by asking that question.
"Not yet". Lucia stated.
"When is he gonna arrive then? It's been some time now, upon all the time I wasted in my classroom?".
"He'll come, just be patient".
And truly, the knight arrived with that same horse and carriage, there was a reason why he was arriving by this time.
Lucia and the boy hopped into the carriage, and the knight didn't waste time riding the horse out of the school compound...
