My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 388: Confession {1}

(Vol 6: The final volume in the story)

The next day, after the party, the whole team were hung over from being drunk and they took the full day off to enjoy themselves more but not getting drunk.

Today was just a peaceful day without any trouble or worries and Jake decided to use it for resting instead of training. Which he did as he was seen on the academy roof looking over the city.

The soft wind was hitting him in the face, his black hair fluttering in the wind while a peaceful smile rested on his face looking at the whole academy and even half of the city.

"I just knew I would find you here." Jake heard a voice saying from behind him as the door to the roof opened with Kate walking in.

And then she sat down beside Jake.

"Yeah. This place serves as my resting and breathing space. I feel at peace whenever I'm here. Although it has been long since I came here." Jake replied.

"Not like I always come here too. But it is nice here and the aesthetic here is very nice. I can see what you are saying." Kate said as she turned around to catch Jake looking at her with a smile on his face. "What?" She asked with a blush on her face.

"Nothing, just that you look more beautiful today." Jake said with a smile which made Kate's heart leap several beats at once.

"Wh… what?!" She shouted in shock.

"Did I say something bad? I'm so sorry, I mistakenly blurted it out." Jake hurriedly say trying to diffuse the situation.

"No, it's okay. I overreacted." Kate said as her cheeks turned a shade redder.

"Why are you here though? You said it yourself, you don't usually come here. So is there something wrong?" Jake asked as he turned around again to look at Kate who suddenly began blushing as she remembered the reason she came here.

A while ago, she was in the higher ups office working hard and going through some paperwork. When Emily burst through the door and strode towards her taking a seat in front of her.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Kate quickly asked in concern.

"It's Alex! He is so annoying. Can he believe that we were trying to have a breather together and he quickly left saying he had something to deal with." Emily said annoyed.

"Oh!" Kate chuckled. "Well, maybe it is important."

"But I'm also important too! I'm his girlfriend for goodness sake." Emily retorted.

Kate just sighed and pushed her paperwork aside and then looked Emily in the eye.

"As far as I know Alex, there are three things he cares about so much. Jake, the guild and you. If he rushed out like that, then it must have to do with either Jake or the guild.

But as far as I know Jake, he wouldn't interrupt your time just like that which means it has to do with the guild." Kate said.

"I know the guild is important. But he should really make time for me too. He always keeps jumping from one thing to another." Emily said with her arms crossed.

"You yourself just said that you are his girlfriend. Aren't you supposed to understand him? Should I be honest with you, right now all the men minds are on what is going to happen next so they need to prepare for any contingencies." Kate said.

Emily just sighed and then slumped back in the chair. "I guess you are right. The mere thought of the war is affecting even me too. Probably that's why I overreacted. Because no one knows what will happen in future. What if we are no longer together, what if heaven forbids, something happened to me or Alex?

That's why I wanted to spend all the time I have with him. To express and do things I might not have the chance to in future."

'To do things that there might not be a chance to do in future.' Kate thought as she also slumped back in her chair in deep thought.

"Anything the problem?" Emily asked seeing Kate's sudden change in expression.

"Not really, I'm just conflicted about something." Kate said.

"And what's that?" Emily asked.

"Jake! I have this attraction towards him and I feel like talking to him about it but I'm worried that he might not reciprocate the same feelings towards me." Kate replied.

"Love? Is that what you are calling an attraction?" Emily laughed. "If you are in love with him, then go for it. Look at me and Alex now. Do you think Alex was the one who asked me out?" She asked and the laughed again.

"Heck no! I did it myself since I couldn't hold in the way I feel. I asked him out several times during our time in the academy but he kept turning me down with one excuse or the other.

After the realizing that he might lose me when those iron fist bastards attacked, he decided to tell me how he felt too and boom! That's how we are together."

"So what are you saying?" Kate asked.

"As far as I know Jake, if it comes to the matters of the heart, he is very dense. He might love you but not sure about it. Meanwhile, he might dismiss it with something else like training or fighting to get his mind away from it." Emily said.

"So I'm saying, go for it! Don't be shy any longer. If you keep holding back, you might not get the chance to do so anymore. So what is it going to be?"

Kate was now deep in thought thinking about what Emily said and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that Emily was making sense.

"Fine! I will do it." Kate said. "Later."

"No! Do it now." Emily said and then stood up to drag Kate out of the chair.

"But I have a lot to do now." Kate said.

"Do it later. This is more important." Emily said as she pushed Kate out of the door. "Don't come back until you tell him."

Thinking back about what led her to the roof, Kate clenched her fists as heat surged up her face, her breath hitching. Her heart pounded as if she had just finished a sprint.

"Kate? What is wrong?" Jake asked.

With a sigh, Kate closed her eyes and took in a long, deep breath."Jake, there's something I've been holding in for a long time… and I can't keep it to myself anymore."
