Chapter 40 Personal Interviews
Before Cora came as a transfer student.
I’ve already heard from Jane.
“I’m going to give the Frontier student the assignment of Cora student probation.”
Jane formally spoke to me.
I said.
“This isn’t a mission, it’s a punishment, right?”
“yes.”
Jane admitted bluntly.
“I thought I was going to have to give an appropriate punishment for breaking down the outer wall of the building, but it worked out. I heard that Frontier already knew what kind of student Cora was?”
Are you talking about the white tiger? Perhaps Quinnier-senpai told me about it.
“Then you’re saying I don’t want Korra to go crazy?”
“That would be ideal, but it would be difficult. I would like Frontier students to evacuate nearby citizens when there are signs of a runaway. Of course, the frontier students leave the place quickly too. When a runaway starts, Constell is set to automatically set an alarm, so you don’t need to contact us.”
Obviously, it takes quite a while for Korra’s runaway to completely turn into a white tiger. It would be the right decision to evacuate the citizens in the meantime.
And judging from Jane’s words, it seems that others don’t even know I was there.
The mask pack that Queenie gave me was a big help. Also, even after defeating Cora, they took me and moved me, so I’m just grateful.
… … Well, I thought that Quinnier’s personality would demand something from me again, but he hasn’t said anything yet.
“… … By the way, Frontier.”
“Yes.”
Jane seemed to be thinking about something, and she seemed to be contemplating whether or not to say what she had been thinking before, and finally opened her mouth.
“There was a man who confronted Kora who had turned into a white tiger.”
Oh, you bring this up.
I prepared my mind.
“That person, Ampere-sama’s youthful face, is it related to the Frontier student?”
In case you get asked such a question, I practiced the lines and facial expressions in advance.
Without being too surprised, the eyes are slightly enlarged and the eyebrows are pulled. In a voice that seems to awaken a little from drowsiness,
“… … Father?”
great. Perfect.
I got the OK sign from Selena, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Um, no. It’s okay if you don’t know the story. Forget it.”
Jane shook her head. The acting seemed to go well.
“Anyway, take good care of Cora students. They say they have been to Constell a few times, but being a student will require another adjustment.”
“All right.”
Building friendships with Cora is what I want too. Baekho-ra’s immense potential cannot be missed. Besides, if it becomes an enemy, it will become a scary variable.
Jane said as if she remembered it again.
“Yeah, you know, Cora has a bit of a distraction side. I’m still not used to manners. You might think it’s a little cheeky, but I hope Frontier can control it.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Cora’s noisy personality has suffered enough.
The thought of having to go through that experience every day in Constell from now on makes me a little tired.
* * *
I thought so, but the situation was quite the opposite.
Of course, when I entered the classroom, Cora was proud and unaware of how high it was in the sky, but soon after she found me, she shrank. It seems that Cora didn’t know I was here.
“Then there is no such vacancy. I need to bring a desk. Let me sit in the back.”
“Behind… … hot!”
When Cora heard this, she was startled and looked at Jane. Somewhere, desperate eyes seem to be asking for help.
… … Maybe it’s because my seat is at the back.
Jane didn’t understand why Cora was doing this. Even with the sudden change in Cora’s timid attitude, she was tilting her head.
Even if we knew it, Korra and I should be as close as possible. Jane’s decision was obvious.
An empty desk arrived and Jane said.
“Then go back and sit down, Cora.”
“… … yes.”
In this way, Cora’s seat was assigned to be near me.
This was actually unavoidable.
Before I took possession, Frontier was a sleeper for most of the class, so the seat was at the back of the window. It’s meant to be put in a corner.
However, when a transfer student arrives, if there is no vacant seat, they bring a new desk and have them sit in the back seat, and then there is a very high probability that they will have no choice but to come near me.
“… … Now, please.”
So Cora sat on the right side of me and Aten. There is Aten between me and Korra, so is it fortunate for Korra?
“Nice to meet you, Cora.”
I smiled and raised my hand. As long as the case is resolved, there is no ill will towards Cora. I’d rather be friendly. When Cora becomes an ally, she will be reliable in battle. I have a request from Jane, and in this case, I have to say hello from this side first.
“… … yes.”
Cora couldn’t even make eye contact with me and shook her head like a sparrow.
Aten looked sternly at me.
“Mr. Frontier, did you do anything to this child?”
“nothing.”
“really? From the looks of it, I think I was assaulted by Mr. Frontier.”
“It’s an assault… … . I’ve never had the back of my head look back.”
At my words, Aten turned serious.
“It was too much. To a child like this.”
he’s older than you
And that’s probably not why he’s afraid of me.
“it’s okay? My name is Aten.”
Aten spoke kindly to Cora.
It’s really polite to tell yourself that you’re a child and speak respectfully.
“Yes. nice to meet you.”
Cora nodded her head in a much better response than when she treated me.
Aten asked.
“What did Mr. Frontier do? I can scold you.”
what a queen The point is that even if it looks like a bluff, it’s absolutely not.
By the way, Aten is good at dealing with children.
“… … I don’t remember very well.”
Cora looked into my eyes and said.
“I had a feeling that something was very scary, but I can’t remember what it was… … .”
Cora said so and bowed her head.
What, why are you talking like that? you are misunderstood
Aten looked at me.
“… … Frondier-san, it’s impossible for a child to even remember… … .”
I misunderstood exactly what I expected.
“Is that possible? It’s not because of me that he doesn’t remember. It’s his problem.”
I said calmly.
But after deleting all the hard-to-speak content, I was talking like a very bad guy.
Again, Aten narrowed her brows and said.
“The perpetrators always say that.”
“hey! That’s what the offender uses when he can’t remember! It’s not that the victim can’t remember!”
“… … !”
Aten opened her eyes wide as if she had just realized it.
… … Am I going with these two now?
Of course, there was always the desire to create a separate party that would not interfere with Aster.
the result is this Oh, there was Selena too. Among those around me, he is the closest to the enemy, and the most reliable.
Am I really okay?
Ding- Dong-
At that moment, a notification sound was heard through the speakers installed in the classroom.
“yes?”
All the students in the classroom looked at the speaker strangely.
I’m still in class, and Jane is there. Jane wasn’t surprised either, but she kept her silence as if puzzled.
I thought I accidentally pressed the notification sound button on the side of the broadcasting room, but soon I heard a voice.
[Uh, can I really say that?]
what are you talking about
A very disturbing voice is heard from the speaker.
[Oh, heck. We will inform you in the broadcasting room.]
Then, soon after, the voice guidance opened his mouth with a proper phrase.
[Frontier de Roach students, please come to the principal’s office immediately.]
… … me? principal’s office?
Isn’t that the classroom?
[I say it again. Frontier de Roach student—]
While the voice guidance was heard, the eyes of the students and Jane gathered on me.
Read at noblemtl.com
Not in the office, not in the principal’s office, and in class.“… … Come on, Frontier.”
“… … yes.”
Me and Jane looked briefly at each other with similar, subtly wrinkled faces.
I hear the students gossip as I get up and leave the classroom.
– Did Frontier finally have an accident?
It was as if he had been waiting.
* * *
principal’s office.
It was only after I stood in front of this that I realized the seriousness of the situation and sighed.
There is only one person in this.
Constell’s principal and rector. ‘Zodiac’ Osprey.
Osprit is not terribly involved in Constell’s activities unless an incident occurs. He unusually called individual students separately as a broadcast announcement.
But why is it me?
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
smart-
“This is Frontier. I came here because I found you.”
“Come in.”
Osprey said without hesitation.
When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the size of the principal’s office.
It was too large to be just a personal office, and most of the spacious size was filled with bookshelves.
Osprey was standing in front of the bookshelf, looking through a book.
He looked at me and smiled comfortably.
“Well, you are welcome. Make sure the door is closed. For an old man, the hallways are pretty cold.”
… … be cold That’s a pretty plausible excuse.
“Shall I lock it?”
When I asked, Osprey smiled even more.
“Then better.”
shudder-
As I locked the door, I could feel the inside of the room being filled with magical power.
“Is this soundproofing magic?”
“Well, something like that. but.”
Osprey reached out to me and swung it in the air once. Something like wind ran through his face and neck.
“Even my magic cannot stop Malia from sharing her senses. So I looked it up, and luckily the ability is not applied now.”
… … Did you just check the magic and abilities applied to me with that?
“Is it that important? Even my mother couldn’t hear it.”
“Sure.”
widely-
Osprey closed the book with one hand.
On the cover was written ‘The Legend of King Arthur’.
… … Also.
Osprey looked at me with a grin.
“You too, aren’t you? I think we are right.”
“… … okay.”
“Then sit down. The story will be long.”
Osprey offered me a chair, and I sat down awkwardly.
If I had been a regular student, I would have been less nervous.
This position is especially heavy for me, who knows what kind of person Osprit is the ‘Zodiac’.
Osprey sat down across from him and said.
“Are you Ampere’s son? Then it would be better to get it out of the way right away.”
… … He’s not a real son, but it’s true that he hates trivial forms.
I nodded, Osprit asked.
“That young Ampere, was it you?”
Truly straightforward. Truly the gist.
It’s what I expected from Osprit calling me, but I still don’t know what he is.
It is not easy to tell a lie, but it is not easy to say that it is true.
Osprey said to me after a moment’s silence.
“Of course, yes or no. It means it doesn’t matter if you lie.”
Osprit smiled mischievously as he spoke.
“It just depends on what you answer, my next words will also change.”
haha. this grandfather
I laughed along with Osprey’s smile.
It seems like you want to have a really candid conversation with me.
Okay, so what are you going to answer now?
