Chapter 313: Conclusion (1) (1/2)

Naomi absolutely did not want to get friendzoned by Rudra , however it was hard to say anything when he was being soo sweet about it. Maybe it meant a lot to him, and it would be rude of her to say that she wanted to be more than friends in this particular moment.

Hence tactically turning the topic she asked ” No female friends huh ... Only girlfriends I suppose ”.

Rudra facepalmed himself and started to chuckle , he said ” I wish .... Actually I've never properly dated a girl , the only date I've ever gone to was with Yua , and as for a girlfriend I've never had one, actually you are the first girl I've brought to my room ”.

Naomi was extremely jealous that Rudra went on a date with Yua , however hearing how it was only once and that he had never had a girlfriend and how she was the first one to come to his room , she smiled.  Seems like the road was seemingly clear.

Building up the courage , she asked ” Soo ... Is there someone you like ...? ”.

Rudra looked at Naomi for a moment , then blinked twice before smiling and saying ” Yes ”.

It was an ambiguous answer , that unleashed a torrent of emotions inside Naomi. She did not know who Rudra was reffering to, his manner of speach was hinting Naomi that it was her , yet she could never be sure.

This would remain a mystery in her mind for now .... The question of , does he like her?

Japan was in an overall secure position with only 5 more events to play, with them expecting medals in the capture the flag , dodgeball and national battleground event.

Dodgeball was the first group event , where SMG was participating.... Him working on his reflexes day in and day out had made them laser sharp , as he was a force to reckon with on the dodgeball field.

SMG was a driven man after his loss in the prison escape event .... He had this mad drive to proove himself , and to become even better than he was yesterday. However Alas Dodgeball was a team event , and even though , he was undoubtedly the best individual player with insane agility. Team japan was weak , and as it was a team event , SMG could only bring home a bronze for the country.

A completely different scenario awaited on the second day of the event , where Rudra participated in the national battleground. Him , Yume , Nero and Neatwit , absolutely steamrolled through the opposition in the event. Having 43 eliminations and winning the event by a huge margin.

The opponents had a psychological fear of facing Shakuni, which lead them to making unnecessary mistakes in fighting him. However it was to be expected as Rudra was a changed man ever since winning the one v one fight. Gaining more confidence in his skills , he had an threatening aura around him. Bolder in his attack strategies and ruthless in achieving his results , only destruction awaited his opponents.
