I Don't Want To Be An Omega In My Sister's Trashy Reverse Harem [BL]
Chapter 21: Saved By Theron...?

Chapter 21: Saved By Theron...?

If Rin had left with the other nurses, he wouldn’t be in this situation. Or maybe, he would be in that situation but in a different way. The system already told him about it anyway. It’s not something he could escape from.

He remained seated, hoping the system was just playing a prank on him or something...

But...

DING!

The message from the system came again like a reminder.

"Oh, come on!" Rin groaned, already feeling the familiar twist of dread in his stomach. "I just want to live... with dignity, okay? Is that too much to ask?!"

The soft footsteps made him freeze as the two previously unconscious students were now standing by their respective beds.

Rin narrowed his eyes.

"Wait a damn minute... They are girls?"

Both girls stepped forward in unison. Of course they were. They were beautiful omegas with glossy hair, delicate features, and eyes that gleamed with... hate.

"After waiting for a long time, you’re finally alone," one of them said. Her name tag read Velda. Her voice was low and shaking with rage.

"You faked whatever condition you had just to do this?" Rin tilted his head.

The other, Nyra, smiled sweetly.

"Of course, we did. We’ll definitely do anything for Lucien."

"It had to be Lucien, of course." Rin nodded, slowly leaving his desk as the girls got closer to him bit by bit. "Listen, we have nothing going on with each other,"

"Liar! You Betas can’t understand what it’s like to be ravaged by an Alpha like Lucien,"

"Yeah, I don’t want to understand what it feels like," Rin replied cheerfully, thinking they would pardon him, but... No.

"We saw you two last night. You’re the one wanting to spread your legs for him."

Rin’s jaw dropped. "Spread?! Ma’am, he kissed my neck! I was the one attacked!"

Velda pulled out a thin dagger. Nyra followed with a curved blade.

"A sweet soul like Lucien would never attack anyone. You think we haven’t heard the rumours?" Velda hissed. "You seduced him. You want him to yourself."

"Please," Rin deadpanned, stepping back slowly, one hand raised. "I barely want myself. I haven’t even flirted with a doorknob in this world."

Nyra snarled. "Today will be the last day you breathe, Rin Elric."

"Oh fuck! I should’ve gone to bed early," Rin muttered as he grabbed a nearby clipboard and hurled it at them. They dodged with ease.

Clatter.

The clinic erupted into chaos.

They charged at him with blades raised, and Rin ducked under the nearest table, grabbing a stool and using it like a shield. One blade scratched the leg of the stool and sent a shiver up Rin’s spine. He saw the deep carve it left with just one swing and imagined what would have happened if it were his skin.

"You’re insane! Both of you! You want to kill me because I accidentally got licked? Go kill Lucien, not me!"

"Shut up you whore!"

Nyra lunged, and Rin kicked a rolling cart between them. It tipped and crashed, sending medical tools flying.

Velda circled from the left, and Rin bolted toward the storage cabinet, using it to block her path.

"Think, Rin, think!" he muttered, heart pounding. "They’re omegas too... why are they so bloodthirsty?!"

"Because we love Lucien!" Velda screeched, hearing his outer thoughts

"Try loving therapy!" Rin shot back. "People like you don’t exist in my world,"

"What the heck is therapy?" They yelled at him, still charging.

Rin had no time to answer them. For every item he threw or every manoeuvre he made, they countered it. They’ve been in this academy, training like they were preparing for a war. Even though they were omegas like him, they were stronger. Most of them must have grown up in noble homes where they’ve been trained from birth.

He was different. No, Rin was different. He was sure that his body wasn’t trained at all. His muscles were aching, and his breaths were coming fast, just after a short run for his life.

The curtains were ripped down. The beds were overturned. One of the oxygen tanks was knocked sideways and hissed loudly.

"You two won’t get away with this. If you’re caught, you’ll be taken away by the security. Just leave now and I’ll forget all of this ever happened," he said. Both girls were silent.

"I know all of this is for Lucien Vortellion, but he’s going to get married later and all of this would be meaningless. I have to clean up the clinic once you two leave so... Just... Leave," he spoke like he was giving a speech.

Then Nyra gave Velda a signal. Rin saw the short nod and was relieved that they agreed to leave him alone. But, they turned toward one of the beds that hadn’t been overturned.

’They haven’t given up? What the fuck?’

Rin’s eyes widened.

"Wait. No..."

Velda reached under the mattress and pulled out a handmade bow and arrows.

"Who the hell keeps weapons under a clinic bed?!"

"We do," Nyra grinned. "Your speech was quite nice, but you’ll be able to give one to the demons in hell."

Rin watched them prepare to shoot him. They didn’t look like they were going to give up at all. They were going to kill him and it was real.

The penalty for failing the system he was given was real. Their hatred was real and so were the arrows.

"Fuck!" He screamed for his life, not ready to die in another world.

"Aim at him, Velda," Nyra yelled.

"You don’t need to tell me twice," she pulled it, watching Rin run towards the exit and...

Shoot!

Rin, who was bolting toward the door, froze as an arrow zipped through the air and pinned his coat to the wall.

"God no!!!" he yelled, trying to tug it free. The fabric wouldn’t budge.

Another arrow flew past his cheek.

"YOU’RE REALLY TRYING TO MURDER ME?!"

"You thought it was a prank? This will be your last day,"

They walked towards him, swinging their daggers with style as Rin braced himself.

’Is this really the end?’ he thought to himself as he shut his eyes.

Then...

CRASH!

The door burst open and in a blur of black and red, someone appeared.

Rin slowly opened his eyes and saw a huge figure standing by the door as his heart nearly exploded from relief.

"Lucien!" he cried.

A slow, amused voice followed:

"Lucien?"

He realised that the voice didn’t belong to Lucien but... Theron.

He stepped into the ruined room, arms folded, his coat flowing like a shadow behind him.

Rin’s blood went cold when he saw him.

Theron’s eyes drifted to the Rin, then back to the girls with blades and then back to Rin again.

The smirk that curled across his lips was cold.

"So he was the one who gave you that mark..."

Rin froze.

Theron turned toward Velda and Nyra, who had immediately lowered their weapons, terrified.

But his gaze landed right back on Rin.

"...Well then," he said, voice sharp as a scalpel. "I finally found a reason to throw you out of this academy."
