Near the Academy's main Gate
An extremely luxurious limo could be seen. This luxurious car is obviously custom-made with red-tinted windows and a shining black color with golden and red stripes giving it the look of a resting dragon.
The number plate has only one word written on it in golden characters-"Rex".
(Yeah you thought it right, this is obviously Link's personal car, which he uses to go to drink coffee sometimes. Like I said earlier Link is filthy rich like money is just a number for him.)
Aside from the limo, there are several other cars standing in line all of them are muscle cars filled with several bodyguards. Each bodyguard is at least a B-ranker or above. Link's personal bodyguard team has about 20 B-rankers, and 5 A-rankers and his personal butler is an S-ranker.
Two young men can be seen standing beside the luxurious car, they seemed to be waiting for someone. Both have a rose in their hand and both are wearing expensive and fancy-looking clothes and sunglasses.
The young man with an expressionless face suddenly said:
"Hey, do we really…. have to stand like this?... and why do I have to wear this fancy looking dress…" (Rio)
"Tch! Don't tell me you were planning to go on the date wearing your regular and casual clothes?" (Link)
Hearing Link, Rio made a puzzled face and said:
"No, I mean decent clothes should be enough, why are we wearing such fancy clothes…. How do I say it…. We look like rich scumbags who can't walk straight after seeing a woman." (Rio)
"What are you talking about dude!? We look like a rich gentleman, Hey Boris! Tell me do I not look like a handsome CEO of a company!?" (Link)
The personal butler of Link and an S-ranker Boris made a face as if he was looking at garbage:
"Young master, I think Mr. Rio is indeed right, I think your choice of clothes has some weird thinking behind it, this is why I told you not to look for love advice from the internet!" (Boris)
After speaking that Boris proceeded to spit on the ground in annoyance.
"F*ck, you spoiled shoes! Can't you control your damn mouth, you old geezer!" (Link)
Due to annoyance veins could be seen on Boris's bald head:
"Hah! Don't forget this old geezer used to clean your diapers when you used wet yourself in the middle of the night!" (Boris)
"I can't believe how they agreed to your engagement when you are such a crybaby!" (Boris)
"Hey! Stop telling my dark history to everyone! And why are you all looking at me like that!" (Link)
While Link was busy bickering with his personal butler Rio started to think about how all this mess started.
.
On the day of the double date, at 1:00 A.M.
Outside Rio's dorm room's door.
*bang**bang* (Loud banging on the door)
"Hey! Rio are you awake! Come out! I want to talk! Hey!" (Link)
"It's urgent bro! If you don't come out fast, I will have to destroy this door!" (Link)
Just when Link was about to kick the door open, Rio suddenly opened the door and said in a very cold voice:
"Just try it… and I will rip apart your leg…" (Rio)
Looking at Rio's murderous eyes, Link hesitated a bit and then gave up destroying the door. He smiled and said:
"W-well, putting that matter aside I have something to give you!" (Link)
The butler standing behind Link handed him an over-decorated box. Rio could even see some rare gems attached to that box.
"What is this?" (Rio)
"I bought two sets of clothes both look the same I will give you one, wear them on today's date, it would be so awesome!" (Link)
Looking at Link's huge smiling face, Rio felt uncomfortable and reluctantly took the clothes.
'It is really difficult to believe that this sunny and always smiling guy used to be a sadist who loved torturing people, Seriously the power of love is terrifying it can convert a wild wolf into a house dog...' (Rio)
"But why did you come in the middle of the night, don't tell me you have caught the stupidity disease from Riya" (Rio)
"Well I was so excited about the double date that I totally forgot about giving them to you the past few days, then I suddenly remembered about it a few minutes ago and came to deliver them instantly!" (Link)
Rio just looked at Link's face and felt that the shine of stupidity on this guy seemed to be too bright, bright enough to blind his eyes.
.
Back to present
'But seriously, this guy is beyond the redemption point, he is too deep in this abyss of love.' (Rio)
Rio looked at Link who was still bickering with his bodyguards and said:
"Hey Link, why did you bring so many bodyguards won't your Butler be enough to protect you, he's an S-ranker after all." (Rio)
Hearing Rio, Link stopped bickering with his bodyguards and said:
"Well, that was the original plan, but due to the last academy incident my father has increased the security measures, I can't go against him…" (Link)
Link shook his head helplessly, he himself was aware of this.
"Well they will accompany us till we get inside the guild after that we will be on ourselves so it's not a big problem… in a worst-case scenario, I will just sneak away with Riya, and I know hundreds of ways to sneak away." (Link)
Hearing Link Boris sneered and said:
"I advise you not to sneak young master, otherwise I will have to tell your friends how you broke your father's favorite flower vase yesterday-" (Boris)
"Hey, I said don't talk about my dark history!" (Link)
Looking at the continuous bickering of Link and Boris, looking at the other guards trying to control themselves from laughing, Rio felt that Link must have grown to be loved by everyone around him, not only his family even the servants have such a great connection with him.
Since Rio had never experienced family love for two lives, looking at all this felt strange to him, he just thought he has missed something precious. Although Rio has the childhood memories of the original Rio they are too fragmented and discontinuous and he can't feel any of the emotions in these memories at all.
'I must be nice…. Being taken care of by your mother…..' (Rio)
Looking at these friendly guards, it is hard to believe that they died tragically at the hands of Fade in order to protect Link, in the original plot they would have suffered the wrath of Fade the protagonist. Fade used his newly learned black flame spell on these guards.
(Black flames- A forbidden magic spell, which creates pitch black flames and burns the opponent slowly, like a long torture. This flame was once used frequently used to torture enemy spies to get information out of them by demons. Its use is banned in the human empire.)
'I hope they don't suffer the same fate…' (Rio)
Link stopped his chit-chat with his bodyguards and said:
"But really! Where are those two, why are they not here yet, they are taking so much time…" (Link)
"By the way isn't aren't we standing on the opposite side of the academy's gate, we should be standing on the other side, right?" (Rio)
"Ah, now that you say that I completely forgot about that!" (Link)
Who knows what came into Link's mind, he suddenly picked the luxurious car up and walked to the other side, and then put the car down.
Rio looked at this with an emotionless face.
'Was it really necessary to pick that car weighing above a ton just to walk to the other side, can't you just walk from the side….' (Rio)
Rio shook his head helplessly and looked at Link with pity
'I didn't know that love can cause mental retardation, sigh, I should meditate more so that I don't get affected by it too…' (Rio)
Rio Looked at Boris and said:
"Perhaps, you should consider a high-rank healer, they might be able to cure him…" (Rio)
Boris looked extremely serious all of a sudden and said:
"Foolishness is not a disease, Mr. Rio, this is incurable…" (Boris)
Looking at Boris shaking his head in helplessness Rio felt amused.
Just then Rio heard Link's surprised tone from the other side:
"Ah, they are here, finally!" (Link)
