Chapter 145 Jinx's New Diary

≡ Table of Contents

This is Jinx's second week in the Leaders Association.

If she could keep a diary, this is what her life looked like in the past week:

Monday, sunny.

Lina knew I was Jinx, not Jessica, but she still wanted me to stay.

But I can't betray Hilco.

Hilco is my father and I can't let him down.

What, Vandal isn't dead?

That silly pet wolf, is it really him?

Oh my god…with dads on both sides, where should I stay?

Tuesday, sunny.

I'm sorry, Hilco... I can't go back.

Although you are also very good, just like my father.

But here in Piltover, I have a father and two sisters.

1 dad + 2 sisters > 1 dad.

I can only stay here, alas.

Wednesday, mostly cloudy.

It has been two days since I met Vander.

But in the past two days, I have actually been avoiding him... because I am very scared.

If I hadn't been so stupid as to throw that hex crystal, Milo and Craig might not have died, and Vandel wouldn't have been seriously injured and kidnapped by that madman named Singed.

I am responsible for everything he has gone through over the years... I am afraid to see him. I... don't know how to face this father.

Thursday, rain.

Sister Lina comforted me and told me not to avoid the past.

I finally worked up the courage to meet Wei, and Fandel.

Vandal said he didn't blame me, and I cried in his arms.

In fact, I still hope that Fandel can beat me up, so that I might feel better.

I am no longer the Bombshell, nor the Jinx of the past. If Wei scolds me again, calling me a "burden" and a "scourge", I think I can accept it.

After all, it was me who did something wrong, not Wei.

Also…after Fandel turned into a wolf, he seemed much more comfortable to hold than before.

Friday, cloudy.

At Wei's insistence, I moved out of Sister Lina's dormitory and moved in with her and Vander.

Wei still wants to sleep in the same room with me like when we were kids.

Fuck you!

You should just sleep with your rich Piltover girl!

Oh, by the way, it would be nice if sister Lina could move in with me. She is also my sister, no worse than Wei.

Saturday, sunny.

I don't know what happened these days, but my faith has been skyrocketing.

Sister Lina said that I am now qualified to officially join the Leaders - and she is willing to be my introducer.

However, leaders do not keep idlers.

Now that I have decided to join Leader, it is time to decide what to do after joining Leader.

Wei wanted me to join the patrol team and serve as a guard for her, a crappy company commander.

Haha , I won't go. Don't you think I don't know? That chick named Caitlyn is the company instructor. If I go, I will have to listen to this Piltover chick's orders every day and serve tea and water to you and your mistress.

Also, I heard that patrol team members have to practice marching, do housework, and even fold their quilts into tofu blocks.

These days, even my ponytail is done by sister Lina! I am too lazy to do stupid things like stacking tofu cubes!

So I finally decided to do as Sister Lina suggested and go with her to work as a mechanical engineer in the scientific equipment department managed by Professor Victor.

You can work and earn money while learning from professors.

Unfortunately, I am a super genius. I don't know if that guy named Victor has the ability to teach me.

By the way… Vi seemed unhappy about my decision to work with Lina.

Ha ha.

Sunday, sunny.

Oh my god! To join the scientific equipment department, I have to take an exam?

Do I still need to question my abilities?

Why do we still have to take exams?

Sister Corina said that the Science and Equipment Department is not only the department with the highest allowance and the best treatment in the entire Leaders Association, but also has top academic experts such as Professor Victor in charge.

Now many students want to join the Scientific Equipment Department to work and study here.

However, the number of places in the ministry is limited. If you want to get a position, you must be admitted through a fair, open and transparent examination.

I asked Sister Lina if she could take me directly to Professor Victor for an interview; he would definitely be able to tell at a glance whether I had the skills and qualifications to be a mechanical engineer.

Kolina said no.

You must follow procedures and cannot use backdoors.

I said this is not a backdoor, I have the ability to do it.

Kelina said that directly interviewing students without a written test and privately admitting students without publicly announcing their scores is a backdoor practice.

Leaders do need talents, but they also need to establish a fair and just talent selection mechanism.

Unless I have reliable scientific research qualifications, or have some earth-shaking inventions that allow me to be recruited as an industry expert...otherwise, I have to go through the examination process obediently.

I still can't understand.

This genius joined the Scientific Equipment Department, and that was a gift to them. So what if I wanted a position?

Sister Lina advised me not to think that way.

She said, as I thought this, my thread of faith had dimmed.

Because a true leader would never think so.

I don't believe it.

She cast a spell and made me look at my "thread"... well, it turned out to be real.

I almost didn’t qualify to be a leader, damn it.

Monday, sunny.

I, the great inventor Jinx, have actually joined the army of civil servants.

Sister Lina helped me get leave from the labor camp so that I could study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

In fact, with my ability, I don't need to review for an exam of this level. But I don't want to worry Sister Lina. I'll just read the book for a while and get the first place.

But, I'm reading a book here...

Hilco is here.

…

A moment later.

There were only three people sitting in the living room. Or rather, two people and one "wolf".

Li Wei did not get involved in the affairs of this family, and Wei was still working in the patrol team and was not at home.

Fortunately, Wei is not here.

If Wei were here now and saw Hilco's face, she would definitely throw a "powerful punch" without hesitation and knock this great enemy away.

But even though Wei was not at home, the atmosphere on the scene was still very subtle.

Jinx, Silko, and Vandel, the relationship between these three people is really too complicated.

Vander nearly drowned Hilco in the sewage.

Hilco had even killed Vandel once.

Jinx acknowledged Vandel as his father and gave Hilco as his daughter.

Jinx accidentally "killed" Fandel, and now he has "betrayed" Hilco.

So after introducing each other, the conversation went like this:

Hilco: “…”

Fandel: "..."

Jinx: “…”

In the silence, Hilco felt what he should say.

But what could he say? An apology to Vander?

No, even though he stabbed Fandel in the back, he never felt that he was wrong.

That was not a betrayal between friends, but a coup d'état. He did not kill Fandel for personal vendettas, but for ideals.

To save Zaun, blood must be shed, even if it involves the blood of innocent people. Hilco knew this.

So he looked at Vander calmly, looking at the other's wolf face that had become hideous and terrifying after being tortured.

"Vander, I don't regret what I did back then." Finally, Hilco spoke up: "If you want to take revenge on me, I won't fight back."

"But I will not surrender. I will try to survive until I see Zaun become independent... and Jinx grow up."

call--

A heavy breath came from the wolf's mouth.

Then he stood up and stretched out his huge, gnarled, terrifying wolf body.

"Vandel!" Jinx cried pitifully.

This is the downside of becoming a werewolf.

Even if Vander yawns now, people who don't know him would think he is going crazy and eating people.

Jinx was afraid that Fandel and Hilko would start a fight. If that happened, she wouldn't know which side to stand on.

Fortunately, Fandel remained calm for the time being.

He just looked down at Silko and said, "I will never forgive you, Silko."

"Mello, Craig, the deaths of so many people, and the suffering that Wei and I have endured over the years... all of this is blamed on you!"

"I know." Hilco did not excuse himself: "I said, you can retaliate against me, I won't fight back."

"As for what I did to you and those children, I don't regret it."

"You bastard!" Vander clenched his fists and showed his sharp teeth.

Perhaps sensing his pain and anger, the alchemical pumps behind him began to operate slowly, causing his knotted muscles to swell rapidly like a balloon.

The werewolf was angry.

He raised his sharp claws high, as if he was going to hit Hilco's head off with one claw.

At this critical moment... seeing Jinx's pale face, the bloodthirsty desire in the werewolf's eyes suddenly subsided.

"Silco." Vandel did not take action, but asked: "Why did you come here?"

"It's not your character to put yourself in danger just because of a letter from Bao Bao."

Van der originally thought that Hilco would not come, because in his memory, Hilco was still the cold-blooded animal who could abandon everything for his ideals and career.

But Hilco said, "Because it was Jinx who wrote the letter. She is here, so I had to come over."

Fandel: "..."

"Go away." The werewolf said, "I don't want to make Baobao sad."

Hilco was also silent for a while.

He almost died from the wolf's claws, but he still didn't want to leave.

He just looked at Jinx, as if trying to read her attitude from her eyes.

But Jinx avoided his gaze, and was too conflicted to respond.

Hilco looked at Vandal, and Jinx who had snuggled back into Vandal's arms...or rather, Boom.

It seems that he came at the wrong time.

"Goodbye, Jinx."

"You found your real father. I'm... happy for you."

Hilco turned and left alone, his back looking extremely desolate.
