Chapter 22 Amelia Is Sus! So I'll Make Her My Toolman

While Keith and Sherry were making out with each other in the classroom, Amelia and the rest of A-Class felt as if they ate dog food.

Remembering that their adviser had told them about Sherry being suspected as a serial killer, the male students couldn't help but respect Keith for his boldness and bravery!

'As expected of purple haze, the boss of Mint High! Taking down a beautiful but crazy girl is a walk in the park for him!'

The male students admired Keith as they thought of him as their idol! Even a few wanted to worship Keith as their god!

Keith and Sherry ignored the overly dramatic expressions of their classmates. They didn't shy away from showing off their relationship in public.

Now that Sherry became his girlfriend, Keith treated her as his own possession and would never allow anyone to disrespect and threaten her. But after remembering that he made a huge mistake, he couldn't help but have a minor headache.

'My Sherry becoming stronger is tantamount to me becoming stronger. And since she needed those End Notes, I might as well help her in acquiring all of them to make her stronger.'

'But… haven't I prevented her from obtaining the End Note in Mint High? From my observations, Amelia managed to acquire it.'

When Keith had used the Eyes of Heaven when Derick attempted to jump off a building, he noticed that there was an End Note on top of the school rooftop bulkhead.

But since Derick was more important than him compared to a mere book, his attention was focused on converting Derick into his system user.

As time passed by, he might not have forgotten about the End Note but he didn't put it in his eyes. For him, there was no point in being caught up with the competition for the End Note since that would attract unwanted attention to himself.

Not to mention, the upper limit of the End Note wasn't worse than his System Creator System. So after several minutes worth of contemplation, he decided to let anyone he was familiar with obtain the End Note.

Worst came to worst, he could take their End Note since he knew about their identity as the holder of End Note.

'Now that I think about it, Amelia is pretty sus! She picked up the End Note as if she knew that it was placed there.'

'Even I, the boss of the owner of Mint High, didn't know that there was an End Note on the school rooftop until I had obtained the Eyes of Heaven. But Amelia acted as if she knew everything, her actions were similar to an actor who was following a script. Every action of hers was well-planned and within her expectations.'

'If not for the fact that she isn't hostile to me and she could be used for my plans, I would have already prevented her from obtaining the End Note.'

'Welp, just treat her as the End Note bookshelf of Sherry. We can use Amelia as a tool man to collect the End Note for us and afterward, I will help Sherry obtain the End Notes that Amelia had collected.'

With that in mind, Keith reduced the level of danger he had towards Amelia. He didn't have any thoughts of killing Amelia since he planned on using her for Sherry's sake.

In Keith's view, there were two types of people. Those that could be used, and those that could not be used.

Even if it was his enemy, Keith would allow his enemy to live as long as they were useful to him. He wasn't ungrateful enough to kill those who were useful to him.

'Sherry might be disappointed that the End Note she planned on obtaining in Mint High was snatched by Amelia. I guess I can only pretend that I didn't know anything. After all, it is impossible for Sherry to know that I possess the Eyes of Heaven.'

When Keith thought about that, he consoled himself that he would make it up to Sherry when Amelia the tool man had already gathered up the End Note.

It was quite risky for him to become an End Note holder since he would attract the attention of other End Note users. Although he wasn't worried if he became the center of attention since he was used to it, he found it detrimental to his plans of acting as a hidden boss.

A true hidden boss was not a shut-in who only lived in seclusion but someone who was well-known yet his true identity wasn't figured out by them despite controlling everything behind and in front of the scenes.

Of course, it depended on the situation and type of hidden boss but Keith was the type who showed a part of what he was capable of but no one could ever uncover his true power aside from his loyal subordinates.

While Keith was thinking of countless ways to make his plans of using Amelia as his tool man foolproof, class ended.

"Keith, can we walk home together?"

Seeing that Sherry took the initiative, Keith didn't disagree.

As Keith and Sherry learned more about one another that day, their feelings for one another grew.
