Unlike Stanley who had an air of aristocratic grace Benny looked like he stepped out of a comic book with his youthful charm
Wendy was even more confused If it wasn t because of Stanley then why was he following her
Wait Is it because you care about me

I ll get to the bottom of this when I get back he muttered
Wendy didn t press further Benny wasn t stupid and she knew when to leave things
unsaid.
Benny watched as she expertly gathered herbs her movements so practiced that it almost seemed second nature Unable to resist he asked Do you know medicine
Her skills seemed impressive she d been able to reset his bones after all
Wendy nodded Yeah Stanley sent me to Clave n dale University to study medicine Have you forgotten
Benny blinked Are you bragging
“How’sthatbragging?”
She was a genius but she never said it out loud That was why Stanley had sent her to Clave n dale University
Back then Benny had thought about pursuing the genius freshman but now he wondered if she had been laughing at him the whole time

Just then Wendy s vision suddenly blurred and her body swayed before collapsing toward the ground
“Wendy!”
Benny rushed forward reaching out to catch her slender waist Her head fell against his
chest.
ThesuddenclosenessmadeBenny freeze.
He was only two years older than Wendy so their ages were quite close
