After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!

Chapter 90 My most loyal fan

After he was officially announced as the winner of the match, the general confusion gradually passed. There were only those who had won something by betting on him, and even more who had lost by betting against him. There was genuine joy on the faces of the former, and on the faces of the latter... well, it was better not to even mention it.

'And anyway, what kind of madman allowed betting at the Academy?'

Rain wondered, seeing everyone's involvement in the subject. He was under no illusions that the academy leadership didn't know about it.

At this time, a group of elven women, led by Mythralin as usual, approached him.

"Congratulations, Rain."

"That was a great fight! A little dirty though..."

"I believed in you from the beginning!"

"Yeah, you couldn't lose...with such strong arms..."

Some of them blushed, looking at his forearms and remembering the act of their curiosity about human men's bodies.

"Thank you for your support."

Rain smiled mesmerizingly at all the looks that were now being thrown at him.

Mythralin smiled back at him.

"Ah, yes. Have you heard what they call you yet?"

Rain raised an eyebrow questioningly, looking at her.

"Mountain Crusher."

"Yes! Yes! Rain, the Mountain Crusher!"

Rain showed a crooked smile.

Of all the names, why this one?

He glanced back at Donat, who was still on the ground. He was indeed something like a broken mountain.

But this was not the mountain he wanted to crush...

He wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was invented by those who lost their money betting against him.

"You'd better call me Rain as before."

"But why?! It sounds so cool!!!"

"No, that sounds a bit cringe."

While Lapielle and a couple other elven women tried to prove him otherwise, Rain thought for a moment.

Though he didn't like the sound of it, perhaps if it came from the mouths of these sweet and charming elven women... no, it still sounded just as cringe.

"I wonder how Her Highness is doing?"

Someone changed the subject, which Rain was very glad about.

"Her Highness should be fine. With her skills, there's no threat to her among the students."

The other elven women agreed with this opinion, and Mythralin made him an offer.

"How about we go check on her right now?"

"Go ahead, I need to get in the shower first."

While he didn't really get dirty during this fight, it sounded like the right decision.

After saying goodbye to the group of elven women, Rain looked up his status, hoping there wasn't a new Mountain Crusher-type title there.

[Name: Rain Winderline]

Contrary to her harsh words, she didn't push her twin sister away. Such closeness was normal for them.

But after cuddling with her for a while longer, the smile gradually disappeared from her face, replaced by irritation.

"Betting everything on him was a mistake. He's going to lose."

"Hm~ But I've already won quite a lot in the past matches, haven't I? Especially since brother says there's no such thing as too much money~"

"It's a different situation now."

"No, the situation is the same. There is a brother, there is his opponent. And the brother wins. Nothing has changed."

Liana replied in a calm but confident voice, making Eliana's gaze darken. Though they had different purses, she hated to see her in such a state.

'That naughty sister has been completely out of control lately. Is she so eager to lose her money?'

'It's like betting on a pig that can't run. She'd better buy something for herself.'

Eliana thought to herself, wondering how her pathetic brother even made it to the finals. But she soon pushed those thoughts away.

'It doesn't matter, even if he somehow miraculously made it to the finals... there's someone he can't beat no matter how much he tries.'

She thought of Gray. Unlike her useless brother, he was strong, brave, charming, never backed down, and possessed an imposing aura. All the qualities she valued so much were in him.

'He's definitely going to win.'

But despite the confidence in her words, a frown never left her face.

Seeing her sister in such a bad mood, Liana playfully poked her in the side.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of losing, Eli? Then you'll have to fulfill our big brother's wish like an obedient little sister~""

Liana brought up the bet her sister had made with Rain.

"...haaa? Don't talk nonsense, Lia. How could you even think of that? I just hope this lesson teaches you to put less faith in useless people—"

Eliana didn't have time to finish when her sister grabbed her arm. She didn't hurt her, but it seemed impossible to escape her grip.

"Eliana. Don't you dare talk about your big brother like that. Even if you are my sister, I won't forgive you."

Eliana pretended to roll her eyes, though she was actually a little frightened by this side of her sister. Especially her eyes. Sometimes she even thought that if it weren't for their blood bond, something worse than a simple reprimand might have happened to her....

But as she thought about it, a great idea suddenly popped into her head.

"If you're so sure of him, how about this? If I win, you won't go near Rain again without my permission. If you win, though... I'll call you big sister and obey you in everything for the next month."

"Hehehe, it seems like I'm going to win more than just money today~ I agree~"

While Liana didn't like that her communication with her big brother would be limited if she lost, she disliked even more that her own twin sister had always despised her brother, not realizing his greatness. Even more so, Liana didn't believe he would lose.

"To get used to the future, I don't mind if you start calling me big sister right now~"

Bleep!

Something came up on Liana's magical communicator and she immediately turned all her attention to it, smiling stupidly.

Eliana rolled her eyes again, realizing that her pathetic brother had responded to her. He was the only one his sister reacted to in this way. It made Eliana even more convinced that her decision to bet with her sister had been the right one.

'It's for her own good. The sooner she forgets her childhood attachments, the sooner she'll start to grow up.'

With that firm conviction in her head, she began to dress and prepare to go out.

At the same time, Rain, having already taken a cold invigorating shower, was standing in the hallway, looking melancholically at the main square of the academy through the window.

"Haha! That was a great fight!"

A friendly melodious voice sounded out not far from him.

"I think I've become your huge fan now!"

When Rain turned his head, he noticed a man with styled brown hair approaching him with a kind smile.

It was the Hero, Gray.
