Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest

Chapter 907 208.1 - Good morning

Irina huffed, crossing her arms, trying to ignore the way her heart refused to calm down.

"Hmph. Acting all cheeky now, are we?" she muttered, narrowing her eyes.

Astron barely glanced up from whatever he was reading, completely unbothered.

"Am I?"

Irina twitched. This guy…

Without a second thought, she reached for his side, slipping her fingers under the hem of his shirt and pinching the skin beneath.

Astron didn't react.

Didn't jolt. Didn't even flinch.

Instead, he simply turned a page in his book, completely indifferent to her attack.

"Trying to retaliate?"

Irina gritted her teeth. "I swear, you're impossible."

Her fingers lingered against his bare skin longer than they should have, and that's when she felt it.

The heat.

Astron's body was warm.

Warmer than she expected, almost too warm, like he naturally radiated heat. The firm, solid feel of muscle beneath her fingertips sent an unwanted shiver down her spine, but she quickly masked it with another pinching motion—just so she wouldn't dwell on it.

Astron still didn't react.

Just let her do as she pleased.

Irina exhaled sharply, muttering under her breath as she finally pulled her hand back. Damn it. That was a mistake.

She stepped over to him, shifting her weight, curiosity flickering through her mind as she caught sight of the glowing screen in front of him.

"What are you even reading?" she asked, placing a hand on his shoulder and leaning slightly over him to see.

Astron turned the screen slightly, revealing the contents of the book he had been reading.

Irina blinked, her eyes scanning the title.

It was the same book he had been reading recently—the one on psychic magic and the mechanics of the mind.

She frowned slightly. He's still reading this?
