To the Top-Ranked Person I Despise - ✿ dusk blossoms ✿

6.5

‘Sigh. I don’t want to go.’

Delia let out a deep sigh as she walked down the hallway. Her steps felt sluggish, as if heavy weights were tied to her feet.

Today was the day. The day Professor Idern would be absent from the office due to his academic conference.

‘Why did I even agree to be an assistant?’

In hindsight, Delia regretted her decision.

She had agreed to the role out of a desire to gain more experience, but she hadn’t expected it to be this uncomfortable.

She had thought it would be like the time she attended the theater with Kartan or participated in other activities, filled with the same excitement and thrill. That had been a mistake.

Of course, the research materials were interesting.

They would undoubtedly benefit her grades in Professor Idern’s class.

However, the person she had to work with was the problem, and regret flooded her mind.

Delia reached the professor’s office at the slowest pace possible and carefully turned the doorknob.

She hoped he hadn’t arrived yet.

‘It would be better if I got here first.’

Click—

The door opened.

Delia quickly scanned the interior through the gap.

‘Oh, he’s not here.’

Fortunately, it seemed she had arrived first.

Letting out a sigh of relief, she took a seat.

She decided to finish as much as possible before Repel Roxen arrived.

‘Oh? There’s not much left.’

Looking over the materials, she realized that just a little more effort might allow her to finish everything today.

‘Alright. Let’s wrap this up today.’

With renewed determination, Delia focused on the materials.

About twenty minutes passed before the sound of the office door’s doorknob turning reached her ears.

Click—

Delia instinctively turned her head. Naturally, the person entering was Repel Roxen.

The time was already ten minutes past the appointed hour.

His blatant tardiness, seemingly taking advantage of the professor’s absence, made Delia frown.

“Hello, Delia.”

“…Hello.”

Her response was curt and indifferent. She was about to turn her attention back to her desk when—

Click—Clunk—

The door closed, accompanied by an unusual sound.

‘Huh? Just now…’

She was about to look back at the door when—

“Can we finish today? Have you done a lot already?”

Repel quickly approached her and struck up a conversation.

His sudden closeness made her uncomfortable.

Distracted by him, Delia couldn’t focus on the door anymore.

She replied, unable to hide the irritation in her voice.

“We’re at the conclusion section now, so we should be able to finish today.”

In retrospect, Repel had contributed very little to the project.

If she had to quantify it, Delia had done 90% of the work, while Repel had barely managed 10%.

She couldn’t understand why Professor Idern had chosen Repel Roxen, of all the third-year students, for this task.

‘If only it had been Kartan.’

Working with the other Roxen would have been far better.

Even as a second-year, Kartan would have produced far superior results compared to third-year Repel.

“I see. That’s good to hear.”

But reality was Repel Roxen.

Hearing Delia’s response, he seemed pleased.

“Let’s finish this quickly, then.”

It appeared he also wanted to wrap things up.

‘Thank goodness.’

At least that was a relief. If Repel was willing to finish quickly, they could definitely complete everything today.

Once they submitted the final results to the professor tomorrow, there would be no reason to return to this office.

“Alright. Could you organize these two pages for me?”

Delia handed him just two sheets of paper, even though she held over ten in her hands.

“…Two pages?”

Repel’s expression was peculiar as he accepted them.

But Delia, eager to finish quickly, didn’t pay attention to his reaction or gestures.

“Yes, I’ll handle the rest.”

Her dismissive tone made Repel’s expression harden. The edges of the papers in his hands crumpled slightly.

However, focused on the materials in front of her, Delia didn’t notice his reaction.

Scratch, scratch—

The sound of pens moving across paper echoed repeatedly in the office.

Occasionally, the rustling of pages being turned joined the rhythm.

After about three hours, Delia finally finished the last page.

“Phew. It’s done.”

It was finally over.

Looking at the completed results, Delia smiled with satisfaction.

Repel Roxen handed her the two pages he had finished.

“Yeah, looks like it.”

His voice carried a hint of reluctance, but Delia didn’t care.

There was no reason to interact with him anymore.

In fact, in about two months, after the comprehensive evaluations at the end of the semester, Repel would graduate as a third-year student.

Feeling lighthearted, Delia gathered the organized files.

“We can leave them on the professor’s desk.”

She placed the materials on Professor Idern’s desk.

A sense of relief washed over her.

‘Finally, it’s really over.’

As she turned to leave the office, taking a few steps toward the door—

Clunk—

“Kyaaa!”

It happened in an instant.

A strong force suddenly pulled her back.

Before she could resist or regain her balance, she fell to the floor.

Her back hit the hard surface with a dull thud, sending a sharp pain through her body.

“Ah!”

A groan of pain escaped her lips.

In the confusion, she instinctively closed her eyes before opening them again.

What she saw was Repel looming over her, pinning her down.

“What… What are you doing…?”

Her heart raced in panic, and she couldn’t form coherent words.

She couldn’t understand why or how this situation had unfolded.

But one thing was clear.

The unease she had always felt around Repel was now stronger than ever.

As his grip tightened on her wrists, a chilling sense of dread washed over her.

“No, stop.”

Delia struggled to free herself from his grasp.

“Stop pretending. A sl*t like you…”

His mocking voice bore down on her.

“You’ve already spread your legs for Kartan, haven’t you?”

Delia felt her heart drop.

Goosebumps rose on her skin.

“Wait, please…”

“You knew what would happen when you came here, didn’t you?”

Her desperate plea fell on deaf ears. Repel continued speaking as his gaze roamed over her body.

She was terrified. His eyes seemed more unhinged than usual.

If this continued, something horrific would happen to her.

“When I asked if you were okay with this, you said yes, didn’t you? Huh?”

It was absurd.

Agreeing to work without the professor present had somehow been twisted into consent for this.

But that wasn’t the issue right now.

“No! Stop, don’t!”

Realizing that reasoning wouldn’t work, Delia screamed and struggled with all her might.

But it was futile.

Repel didn’t budge.

A woman’s strength could never match a man’s.

Snap—

In the end, the buttons on Delia’s blouse were ripped off in one swift motion.

Her undergarments were immediately exposed to the air. As her ample chest was revealed, Repel seemed excited, pressing his lower body against Delia.

The unpleasant sensation of his body touching hers made Delia struggle even more desperately.

“Get off! Get off! Ahhh!”

“I told you to stay still!”

Smack—

“Ahh!”

The sharp sound of a slap echoed through the room, and Delia’s cheek turned to the side. The spot where she had been struck burned as if it were on fire.

It hurt. And it was terrifying.

Tears streamed down Delia’s cheeks.

“Finally, you’ve calmed down.”

When Delia stopped struggling due to the pain, Repel smiled as though he was satisfied.

“What’s so hard about spreading your legs for me?”

Chuckling to himself, Repel began to undo his own pants.

“My c*ck is far better than Kartan’s. You’ll be begging for more later.”

At the same time, he roughly lifted Delia’s skirt.

If this continued…

Tears continued to flow from Delia’s eyes.

‘I’m scared.’

She was utterly terrified. She felt helpless and saw no way to escape this situation.
