My SSS-Rank Dungeon: Reborn In A Reverse World
Chapter 13: Natasha

Chapter 13: Natasha

Amber’s lecture lasted for hours, and she gave them so much information about things they didn’t even know could have existed.

She was truly a great professor who excelled in combat, and her lecture included topics focused entirely on real-life combat and life-and-death situations.

She taught them deeply about themselves and many other crucial concepts. Even Leon, who already knew a lot about this world, felt like a middle school student in front of her.

Only then did he realize just how much there was to learn—even in this world he had created. Her words were like fuel, pouring onto the flames of his curiosity.

Leon was so focused on her lecture that he didn’t even realize when time had passed. It felt like only a second to him—someone who wanted to absorb even more knowledge from her.

His actions didn’t go unnoticed by others, but they didn’t think much of it. He was already known for being the top of the Research Department, after all.

Once the afternoon alarm rang, Amber grunted in annoyance, as she was just getting in the mood. She sighed and said, "We will continue from here tomorrow. Remember to study and do the things I told you."

Her eyes scanned every student, making them shiver slightly as she noticed their exhaustion, boredom, and other emotions after her lecture. There were also a few who were deep in thought.

Her gaze suddenly stopped at Leon and noticed the disappointment in his eyes. Her lips unconsciously tugged upwards as she thought, ’He’s really an interesting fellow. I need to talk about him with her. We need to nurture men like him.’

Leon also sensed her gaze, so he gave a slight respectful nod, all while gloating inside. He wanted the higher authorities to notice him and it was working well.

Amber nodded back and then left the class.

But the classroom remained still even after that.

Only when almost a full minute had passed, and they were sure Amber had truly left, did the students heave sighs of relief and relax.

Silver sprawled her upper body over the table and grumbled to him, "Aghh! How do you even keep focus on these boring lectures? I wanted to jump out the window."

"That’s a good idea. You should’ve tried it," Leon said, flipping through the notes he had made.

"Ha! Ha! Very funny," Silver rolled her eyes and leaned sideways to peek at his tablet. Seeing the dozens of pages worth of notes, her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Can you send me those?"

As far as he was aware, Silver hated studying so much that she didn’t even bother with anything aside from languages.

"You actually want to study?" Leon raised an eyebrow. "I could believe the sun coming out of the west for a second but not this."

"Hey! I’m also a topper of this class. I do study," Silver complained, but when Leon continued to give her a flat look, she sighed. "Fine! Fine! I was just going to ask Gaia to give me a summary so I could study that."

"That’s still surprising," Leon smiled. "When was the last time you actually tried studying?"

"I don’t remember insignificant things," Silver muttered and looked away.

What Leon didn’t notice was that she was glaring at the other girls who were thinking of approaching. They stopped in their tracks, not wanting to offend a genius like her.

In this world, women were taught from birth that even if they were superior, if they didn’t work hard enough, they’d have to share their husband with other women.

Only a strong woman could keep her man to herself.

Silver was one such woman.

But not everyone was afraid of her.

Just as Leon was about to stand up, he was approached by another beautiful girl with long, silky pink hair and a playful smile on her face.

If Leon had to describe her, she’d be the girl-version of a playboy in this world.

Seeing her, Silver’s instincts flared up. She immediately stood and stared at her with clear threat in her eyes.

She recognized her too—Natasha, the second topper of the class.

"Relax, Silver. I’m just here to make friends with you two," Natasha smiled sweetly and extended her hand. "How about it? We can enter the dungeon together and fight as a team?"

Silver narrowed her eyes at her and then glanced at Leon, who hadn’t even looked at Natasha and was still busy with his tablet.

She asked, turning back to Natasha, "You think I’ll let a playgirl like you near him?"

"Oh, come on. You make it sound like I sleep with every random man I find," Natasha chuckled softly, her voice carrying a charm of its own.

She then leaned forward, taking Silver by surprise, and softly whispered in her ear, "To show my sincerity, I’ll tell you my secret. I’m actually a virgin."

Silver shivered and backed away instantly as her hair stood on end. "I don’t swing that way."

"Haha!" Natasha laughed at her reaction and said, "Relax. I only like handsome men like Leon. I’m just interested in being your friend... or maybe something else too."

She turned to look at Leon and found him still completely engrossed in his notes. Her lips tugged upwards as she said, "You’re really an interesting fellow. We’ll meet again, Leo~"

With that, she walked away from the classroom.

"That bitch... she gives me the creeps," Silver muttered, returning to her seat.

Leon also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes."

"Wait! You were actually listening the whole time? Why... are you avoiding her?" she asked in confusion.

"Because she has a mutated Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, which gives her a natural charm ability to seduce others. I’m way lower than her in level, so she could have easily affected my mind."

"Woah! You really know a lot about her."

’That’s what you noticed?’ Leon was speechless and then shook his head. "She’s your competition. So always gather information about your opponent."

Silver’s eyes lit up as she said, "Ohh! Then send me all the information you have on her too."

Leon rolled his eyes and was about to reply when he caught sight of a powerful figure approaching him.

Denver was coming to meet him.
