Chapter 14: 6 Copy: Sin Nexus Pelican Bar_2



In short, she was a kind of "Martial Fool".

Since she truly came from humble origins, and as a village girl who never dressed up, her appearance naturally couldn\'t compare to the delicate ladies of the Royal Capital. This resulted in a subtle, self-unrecognized inferiority complex.

This inferiority would transform into a sense of aggression and hostility towards those "of higher status" than herself. But at the same time, she was afraid of causing trouble for herself because of her lack of background, so it wouldn\'t manifest as concrete words or actions. However, it could still be revealed through attitudes under pressure and instinctive reactions when making choices.

Because of her straightforward personality, more approachable background, and excellent achievements, as well as a wisdom for survival that avoided offending others easily, she would be quite popular in a school setting, especially among the relatively simple-minded students—yet her initial contact with society led to repeated setbacks, which could easily confuse her and even make her susceptible to manipulation, or lead her down the wrong path in life.

This was precisely the moment she felt perplexed.

This kind of person was entirely exploitable.

The weakness and helplessness that Aiwass had shown when he first met her yesterday were carefully selected postures intended to attract her immediately, after he had reviewed Hayna\'s information in advance.

The act of "reading poetry" subconsciously suggested to others that the person was sedentary. His wheelchair further reinforced this notion of "stillness", thus avoiding a direct challenge from Hayna in areas where she was confident, such as "movement", "physical ability", "swordsmanship", preventing him from instantly arousing her competitive spirit or attention.

Aiwass had looked in a mirror, and his aesthetics were normal. He was certainly aware of the attractiveness of his current body.

So, with this foundation, Aiwass had beforehand instructed a personal maid to apply makeup to him, creating a countenance that appeared weak and pale from blood loss. The appropriately adjusted fireplace provided a sense of relaxation, while its light offered a warm filter for Aiwass.

In this way, Aiwass\'s image would trigger Hayna\'s protective instincts, at least not inciting her hostility due to his origins. An "injured", "handsome", and "weak" superior appeared to be completely under her control, making her "hope" that Aiwass was good. As a result, he would not become an adversary.

Up to this point, Hayna\'s instincts would tell her not to investigate any further. Her work experience was not rich enough, and her actions were easily driven by emotion. Once she had given herself an answer, what followed was merely looking for evidence to back up that answer.

However, when a person\'s impression is too strong, their image tends to be abstracted and reduced to one aspect in the memory.

If Hayna were to feel too positively about Aiwass, then when Aiwass did something unexpected, she would become "disappointed on her own".

It was for this reason that Aiwass needed to do some things in advance to make his first impression not so positive or perfect. Therefore, he took advantage of Hayna being late, telling her some truths she did not wish to believe, thereby making her feel attacked by him.

In fact, Hayna, who was in the wrong from the start, actually expected Aiwass to attack her. This would allow her to relax a bit more.

After interpreting Aiwass\'s strange words as an attack, she would subconsciously discard their possibilities, and upon Aiwass presenting an acceptable possibility, she would immediately cling to it. This would reduce her own sense of guilt and alleviate psychological stress.

Today and in the future, she could become a very reliable bodyguard for him.

After their interaction yesterday, Hayna would believe they had become friends. And she urgently needed to showcase her proudest skill—her swordsmanship—in front of this new friend of noble identity, innocence, gentleness, and artistic and weak beauty.

If she could truly demonstrate this skill, she would feel that she "has shown her proudest strength", thereby hoping to gain Aiwass\'s affirmation.

If Aiwass affirmed her in this regard and expressed his genuine need for her help, such a request would greatly satisfy her social needs.

In that case, Aiwass, who was initially a suspect and met with her caution and defense, could turn into her good friend after just a day\'s encounter, and naturally bring Aiwass into her social circle at school.

Even though taking advantage of a young girl who had just graduated made Aiwass feel somewhat guilty.

This was his debt.

Aiwass never liked to owe people favors. Once he owed something, he would immediately look for ways to repay it.

Otherwise, after a few exchanges, it would be easy to get close with others. And having "friends" is a very dangerous thing; often, one may be dragged into dangerous situations in an attempt to help friends, and also easily betrayed by friends due to lowered guard.
