Hacker

How could he possibly tell Lilyana that in the previous reincarnations, he had attempted various professions to kill Azaria? Not just in medicine, finance, and even as a police officer. However, no matter how exceptional he was, he couldn't compete with something called the protagonist's halo.

"Aw!" Lilyana winced in pain, taking a sharp breath. This sound finally brought Justus back to reality. He immediately softened his actions, apologizing with regret, "I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Starting today, you will learn self-defense," Justus declared.

Lilyana was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Justus explained, "I won't always be by your side, and you need to know how to protect yourself." He couldn't help but ponder Lilyana's role in the plot.

He believed that if Lilyana had the ability to defend herself, she might not have faced danger when she tried to save Azaria. This could have prevented Azaria's descent into darkness and ultimately changed her fate. Justus felt that it would relieve some of his pressure.

"I'll arrange for someone to teach you, and you better take it seriously. If anyone dares to harm you, you should be ready to defend yourself," Justus said, looking at Lilyana's acceptance before making a call on his phone.

"Find a self-defense instructor for Lilyana and buy apartment 606 in Mandolk Resident Area for me. Don't question it; just get it done, no matter what," Justus ordered.

After assessing Lilyana's condition, Justus said, "I'll head back to the classroom now. Rest well in the infirmary."

"Eh?" Lilyana was startled and quickly held onto Justus's arm, fear evident in her eyes.

Confused, Justus asked, "What's wrong? I thought you'd be relieved when I left."

Lilyana's reaction seemed like a second round of panic, and she asked, "Young master, did you arrange for someone to come to the infirmary?"

Justus sensed her excessive fear and couldn't help but consider a specific condition.

Persecutory delusion, as the name suggested, is a condition where patients experience fear and engage in irrational reasoning and judgment. They believe they are being persecuted or harmed and become extremely cautious, on guard against everyone, often including relevant people in their delusional world.

Now, Lilyana exhibited typical signs of this condition, but her fixation was solely on Justus.

"I'm sorry." The next moment, Justus apologized, even though he had never been involved in such evil. But if he was also Justus in another version, then he should bear this wickedness.

Lilyana's face grew even paler, and she opened her mouth, trying to express that she didn't have such thoughts. However, tears of anxiety welled up in her eyes.

"Young master, please don't harm Azaria. She's a good person, and if anyone deserves the blame, direct it towards me," Lilyana pleaded.

Justus attempted to explain, but Lilyana couldn't bring herself to believe his words.

"Forget it, you'll eventually understand. Just rest well, and the only person who will come near you is the nurse," Justus realized that correcting her thinking at that moment was futile, so he gave up.

Lilyana wanted to say something else, but Justus had already left the infirmary.

Justus rarely visited the infirmary, and it was the first time he had taken in the full view of the place.

Upon careful observation, the infirmary was quite spacious.

It was divided into two areas, one for treatment and the other for rest, both of which had excellent soundproofing. One could not exaggerate that this was a place created to provide opportunities for students with special preferences. Thinking about Lilyana's overly exaggerated reaction earlier, Justus suddenly realized that leaving Lilyana alone in the infirmary was actually dangerous.

"Could you take care of my friend, please? I'll come back during lunchtime." After a moment's thought, Justus politely requested the nurse.

"I'll keep an eye on her, but it's only the first day of school. There won't be that many..." The school nurse was about to explain that not many students would come to the infirmary on the first day. However, just as she uttered these words, the infirmary door was knocked.

The school nurse was taken aback, looking somewhat embarrassed, but she still called out in the direction of the door, "Come in."

After speaking, the door was gently pushed open, and a girl in a school uniform walked in.

In the first year, school uniforms hadn't been implemented yet, suggesting that this girl was likely in her second or third year.

With her jet-black hair resembling ink and an exceptionally fair complexion, one might even describe her as ethereal. However, despite that, it couldn't conceal her exquisite appearance and aura.

"Daisy, it's you," the plump school nurse recognized the newcomer and greeted her warmly.

Daisy Bradford nodded gently, her gaze pausing on Justus's face, seemingly curious about his presence.

"He's about to leave, but there's another girl resting in the infirmary. You can sleep on the rightmost bed." The two of them appeared quite familiar with each other, and without further questions, the nurse showed Daisy Bradford the available bed.

Although the name sounded somewhat familiar to Justus, he couldn't recall where he had heard it. So, he decided to use his unique ability to check the girl's identity.

Name: Daisy Bradford

Occupation: Student and Hacker

Personality: Reserved and reticent

Background: Due to physical defects, she is obsessed with the internet and has acquired various skills. Lately, she finds the world extremely boring and has had suicidal thoughts.

Affinity towards Justus: -10

Affinity towards the school nurse: 50

Seeing this familiar profile, Justus finally remembered who the girl in front of him was.

Daisy Bradford, the future second-in-command of Azaria Corporation. However, due to her low-profile nature and expertise in the online world, Justus had never met her in person.

If it weren't for Justus coming to the infirmary, he wouldn't have known about this.

Suddenly, he noticed that the indicator displaying his affinity with Daisy Bradford shook and immediately changed from -10 to -20.

Justus felt disheartened, but since Daisy Bradford clearly didn't welcome him, he immediately left the infirmary.

Justus's face brightened with relief as Freddy Drebin entered the classroom. He considered going straight in, but opted to slip in from behind to avoid attracting attention.

While Azaria was engrossed in the front of the room, she felt movement behind her and turned her head, spotting Justus.

Not interested in class, Justus took out a notebook from his backpack and began jotting down the scenarios he had in mind. He intended to use the male protagonist's techniques to strengthen his bond with Azaria.

Justus struggled to hold back his laughter while reading the content. His life had felt so constrained, but now this newfound freedom allowed him to embrace his true self.
