Chapter 458 - TOP THREE ISLAND BEAUTIES (1/2)

The light knocking on the door did not startle Kaito even though it was unusual. For three months, his routine of training had remained relatively stable. However, things were about to change, or so Taiki claimed when he told him about his plan.

His thoughts were a little turbulent when he thought about the prospect of leaving the Training Centre. However, he had learned how to rein in his emotions with more efficiency under his uncle's tutelage. Even though he was still angry about his predicament, he could not deny that Taiki was an excellent teacher.  ​​

He looked at the Arena once more before he walked from the window and opened the door. He was surprised to see two people. He was only expecting his uncle since he was picking him from the Training Centre in the morning.

”Are you surprised to see me?” Nicole smiled with unprecedented cheekiness.

Usually, she came to the Training Centre in the evening to spar with Kaito. On normal days, she would come in training wear for convenience. Of course, since it was morning and she was not coming for training, she would not wear something boring.

After all, Kaito was still her crush, and she hoped that he would see her as a beautiful girl instead of a training partner. She knew that the best approach to winning him over was not to be too aggressive. But at the same time, she could not let him forget that she was an eligible girl.

Her two-phase plan was training with him so that he would see that she was not a weakling. Men like Kaito would probably not go for the soft and helpless types of girls. Their interest would only be perked if there was some fire in a girl.

Moreover, training with him allowed him to lower his guard a little. This part of the plan was not too successful. She had hoped that they would have a banter going on by now. After all, she was the only person apart from his uncle who had significant contact with him.

Unfortunately, Kaito had become even calmer in the past month. Where he used to have anger and restless energy, there was minimal turbulence. He had become more mȧturė with an aura that spoke of stability and reliability.

Of course, this change was like a catnip to Nicole. Her maiden heart could not resist the allure of a mȧturė but tough man. She felt like they would be well-matched. Every night, her dreams were filled with Kaito, looking at only her with warm eyes and treating her like a treasure.

The second phase of her plan was to show Kaito her lady-like side. She wanted him to know that she was not only a good fighter, but she also had a sweet demeanour.

For this reason, she chose her clothes with care when her master invited her to pick up Kaito from the Training Centre with him. She did not care if Taiki was using her as a buffer due to the tension between him and Kaito.

Nicole did not doubt that she would get together with him.

She believed in her charm. If she could not even capture the heart of the man she loved, she would not deserve to be one of the three goddesses of her generation. She might not be the top one, but she was not small fry.

With this in mind, Nicole stood up a little straighter and looked at Kaito with a smile. Kaito did not have a change in expression. Instead, he turned to look at his uncle.
