47 – Start of training
The long-awaited Saturday morning.
Marie arrived at her meeting place with high anticipation inside, though she didn’t show it on the outside. “＞
Despite being within the premises of the academy that I pass by every morning, the vegetation around it felt even greener today.
As for the attire, just like Belle said, it’s a light dress that doesn’t stand out too much.
She thought about it several times while looking in the mirror. Even if it meant accompanying commoners from Amman, I thought that I should have at least some level of dignity.
However, thanks to her court lady, Yuris, who gave her young words of confidence, saying that she would look pretty enough even in Belle’s eyes, she was able to come out with confidence.
Of course, she never had any desire to look pretty for a commoner like that.
She said that she was relieved that this was not going to detract from her dignity.
“What is it? Why did you dress up like this?”
Next to Marie, who was singing her hum while entrusting her body under the shade of a tree, heard her presence and a familiar man’s voice.
Let alone a greeting, a first word without even a mood.
Marie turned her head away, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out at any moment.
“It’s too late. Are you going to keep her lady waiting?”
“It’s still 10 minutes before the appointment time. Men and horses.”
Bell scratched her head at the bruise that followed and replied as if it was nonsense.
It’s just that she came out extraordinarily early, and she obviously showed up ahead of her appointment as well, so why should she be listening to this?
But Marie continued to criticize her, snoring as if she would not allow her objection.
“Huh. You should have been with me at least 30 minutes ago. Don’t you even know basic manners?”
“Basic etiquette will freeze to death…. So why are the clothes the way they are?”
“What, what…. Don’t you like it?”
Marie looked down at her clothes with a despondent look on her face as Belle asked her casually with her hand in one of her pockets.
The reaction was a little different from what I expected.
I didn’t expect to be called pretty by that moodless man, but I didn’t expect to hear such a harsh word.
After all, I wonder if it was just something I said to come out in simple clothes.
While Marie was embarrassed by the unexpected reaction, she had to feel something inside her.
I tried to wear clothes as simple as possible, but I decorated them so that they weren’t ugly.
She doesn’t know why she’s upset because she’s been criticized by a guy like this, but her heart, which had been swollen with anticipation just a moment ago, went down like a balloon.
‘To the subject of ‘dressing comfortably. If that’s the case, don’t say anything.’
How much did you look forward to today, but from the first meeting, the reaction was like this.
Marie immediately shed tears over her resentment, and she wanted to go back, but she fought back.
She didn’t want to show her tears in front of such a man, and above all, she didn’t want to explain the reason for the tears she couldn’t understand to him.
“No, I didn’t like it and left Jago…. Can you wear it and move around?”
It was Bell who looked at Marie with a concerned expression and frowned at her.
In the first place, she didn’t care what other people wore or not, but no matter who saw it, Mari’s current outfit was unsuitable for training, and the fabric looked like it would scream.
“… Are you moving? I’m not running around, so what’s the matter?”
“… Ah.”
Marie, who didn’t understand Bell’s words, also frowned at her and replied.
Only then did Bell realize his mistake.
She was wondering whether or not she told her yesterday that she was going to do her training, but from her reaction it was clear that she didn’t communicate either.
Otherwise, Marie isn’t stupid, and she wouldn’t have come out dressed like this.
She thought that it was not her training and that she must have come out knowing that they were going out somewhere together, so Bell rolled her eyes and started looking for her words to take out.
“Uh, um…. Marie, calm down and listen.”
“What is it? Anxious.”
Just as Marie tries to keep Belle’s name out of her mouth as much as possible, and vice versa.
However, Marie frowned as she sensed her uneasiness creeping up at Bell’s act of calling her by her name in a friendly manner.
* * * *
As soon as she said that she did not go out, but asked her to be her opponent, Marie summoned Familiar with all her magic power.
Thanks to her, she thought she was going to die.
It is said that if a woman harbors resentment, frost will form in May, and the old ancestors said nothing wrong.
She honestly felt more numb than when she was dealing with Sirius.
It should be said that she was the first to know that when a person’s anger reached its limit, she could emit energy beyond magical power.
To be honest, I don’t know if I’m going to be angry like this, but this time my fault for lack of words was 100%, so I calmed my anger as much as possible by responding to the complaint without saying anything.
“f*ck…. sh*t….”
It wasn’t long before that hard work paid off, and Marie reverse-summoned her Familiar and removed the fireball from her hand.
Even so, the anger hadn’t gone away yet.
That’s why there’s no such thing as a steam locomotive.
If you put a few sweet potatoes on top, they will cook right away.
Seeing that even in the midst of this, he followed my words and went with me to the gymnasium, this guy might be secretly weak in affection.
“Release your anger. Because I was speechless.”
“Is that the attitude of an apologetic person!? I’m definitely with… !”
Despite my apology, Marie was angry and tried to continue her words, but her body stood still.
From noble mtl dot com
Like, what do you mean?
If a person wants to talk, he has to do it all the way.
“Go, together…. Kid, that’s it! I don’t know!”
Following him, I stopped her steps and waited for the next words to follow, but she licked her lips and suddenly shook her head and passed me coldly.
You play drums and janggu all by yourself.
But the reason is obvious. Maybe he was thinking of tearing me apart.
Since he helped me with an assignment a while ago, he must have thought that I called him to repay him.
Indeed. Although I often work for her, talking about being an errand boy, I have to give her carrots from time to time so that she will faithfully serve her position in the future.
My thoughts were brief this time.
“Marie.”
“Again! Why! What!”
As if he was advertising that he was angry, the guy who had been walking without hesitation turned around roughly.
With the reaction so intense, I feel sorry for breaking expectations.
“Do you have a schedule for this time next week?”
“What, are you asking for help again? Alternative conscience… !”
Listen to what people say to the end and get angry.
But this time, as it was the seed I sowed, I cut my words in moderation and got to the point.
“No, if we have time, let’s have a meal. I will pay you back by hitting today.”
“… Is it real If you say nonsense this time, I know I will tell Elisha everything.”
Oh, that’s kind of scary.
I don’t know how he’ll get tangled up with Elisha, but just the mere mention of that name is enough to frighten me.
Aside from the faculty, Elisha is the only person I can say is weak among her peers.
“Okay, free up some time. I’ll take you big.”
“Huh. I don’t know if a commoner can be a satisfactory escort… Good. I look forward to it.”
He’s always a guy with long legs.
Anyway, I’m glad it seems to have calmed down with this.
Since Aden will be waiting for you to pass out of breath, the first thing you need to do is go to the gymnasium.
* * * *
Aden, who had arrived at the gymnasium first, blinked at her sudden guest.
Recently, at this time, there was always a one-on-one sparring with Bell, but today, for some reason, there was another outsider by his side.
“Aden, say hello. You know that face before, right?”
“Ah, yes. Obviously in Marinello…. Was it a sheep?”
I remember her pink hair that came down to her neck because it was so impressive.
Marie, on the other hand, had heard Aden’s name, but she didn’t really remember it, as she practically overheard it.
Bell caught it and introduced Aden’s name first.
“This is Aden Feltner. She will be with Dalian for the time being.”
“… I heard about it beforehand, but how much do we have to hang out with?”
“At least until the exchange meeting.”
“What a shameless man.”
Knowing how precious her time is, Marie pressed her throbbing temples, wondering if she was saying something like this.
Nevertheless, the reason why he does not show any intention of refusal is because he knows that this opportunity is the few times he can spend with Bell, as long as the after-school classes for just the two of them are gone.
Although he himself would try to deny even this true intention.
‘Fortunately, it worked.’
Bell let out a sigh of relief as she watched Marie from her side.
She actually said that she wanted to be an opponent of sparring, but this was only a task to improve her horse’s skills.
In her original work, Marie also had a very strong desire to compete, and based on that, she was a character who improved her skills.
It was a case where the water rose rapidly from the time she felt the difference in her skills through a series of sparring with Aden, who was so talented in the middle of the year.
In other words, in this situation, Bell was aiming for that point and deliberately put Marie against two opponents that she could not beat with her current skills.
At least it would be okay if it was against Belle, who had lost once before, but if she were to lose against a cadet from Class E who hadn’t even heard of her name, the feeling of defeat would be indescribable.
If that happens, it will be clear that he will be more active in improving his skills, forgetting about the pretext of helping with sparring.
“Shall we take turns taking turns to warm up while we’re here?”
“Do whatever you want. Neither of you will be my opponent anyway.”
“You’re good at talking about losing once.”
“That, I just couldn’t show my skills properly at that time!”
Bell smiled contemptuously at Marie, who was quite loud.
With the intention of seeing how long I can show off that high nose.
