239 – Call Me Maybe (2)
Theo returned to the stadium, the waiting area for the students.
The stadium was full of injured people.
All injuries were severe.
No one suffered a simple bruise, and at least one was broken somewhere.
The therapists dispatched from [The Hilte] Were taking turns treating students.
‘If I had slipped just once, I would have been lying there too.’
Thinking like that, Theo cast his gaze over the stadium for a moment.
Then he made eye contact with Taylor, who was resting.
Taylor approached Theo.
“Hoo. “It’s been a while, Theo.”
“Deputy branch manager. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Theo said, glancing at the injured people filling the stadium.
“hahahahaha, this is easy. Treating the sick is the joy of life for a therapist. By the way, you can see today’s main characters here.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“hahahaha, you are needlessly humble. Everyone here is just talking about Theo. Between us, of course. By the way, I received an aid from a student from the [Church of Light].”
Taylor continued, pointing to the therapist resting near him.
“They are spherical, right? This is Elise, the new ace of [The Hilte]. Ms. Elise also belonged to the [Church of Light]. “He was a guardian knight candidate.”
Elise stood up and spoke to Taylor.
“It’s just the past, Deputy Branch Manager… Hello, Theo. “You saw it last week, right?”
“I don’t remember.”
“Ah, it looks like I fainted deeply as expected. “When I was taken to the emergency room after a martial arts competition, I received treatment with the deputy branch manager.”
“Oh, is that so? Thank you.”
Theo bowed low to Elise.
Taylor walked closer to Theo and he spoke quietly.
“Theo, it seems like you have gained a sasaeng fan in the meantime? That’s pretty powerful too.”
Theo listened to the voice. Taylor is not a writer who talks nonsense.
“······Can you tell me in detail what this is about?”
“Someone has been following Theo since he was transported to [The Hilte] Right after the martial arts competition. “I’m sure he’s following me, but I couldn’t tell you because I couldn’t identify him until today.”
“Can you tell me who it is?”
“It is very likely that he is a guardian knight of the [Church of Light]. This is the opinion of Miss Elise, who was a Guardian Knight candidate. Anyway, I found it today when I was dispatched here.”
“······Thank you.”
Theo bowed low to Taylor.
‘As expected, Claire was following me.’
Ever since he came to see me last night, I had guessed that he was following his footsteps.
And now I am confident.
The corners of Theo’s mouth slightly rose.
‘······Good.’
From his perspective, he has become more resistant thanks to Sienna, but there is probably no one willing to follow him.
Now there was an excuse to treat her saint Isabella alone.
Due to Claire’s inclination to not tell lies, she would readily admit it if she were to be followed at the scene.
Taylor said to Theo, who was organizing his thoughts.
“hahahahaha. It seems like you really appreciate it, I feel good too. If you have time later, stop by [The Hilte]. “The [Special Fatigue Relief] Is back in stock.”
From Theo’s perspective, there is absolutely no reason to decline.
[Special fatigue recovery potion] Was more effective for me than any other potion.
“Thank you again, Deputy Branch Manager.”
“hahahahaha, that’s right. See you next time, Theo. “Unfortunately, it’s shift time.”
Taylor went back to treating the injured person.

As Locke said, there were no afternoon classes.
─You all worked hard today, gentlemen. An afternoon class was originally scheduled, but it was canceled due to the number of injuries. Don’t go to sleep right away because you’re tired, but make sure to eat your meals.
─Yes…
The students answered helplessly and sullenly.
This is because he personally experienced the power of the continent’s hundred great warriors.
It was a miserable experience.
No matter how many students they were, 50 people armed with artifacts were destroyed by one Oliver, who was practically naked.
‘Did I achieve 10% of my original ability?’
Probably not.
The Oliver they faced faced the joint teams alone, receiving only passive support from his teammates. He didn’t even take out his decisive weapon, [Hell Fist].
Only the Teo joint team was an exception.
Except for Team Teo and Woohee Jang, the Team Teo team did not raise a fist on the pitch, but they were happy.
Grades will be determined for each student, but it was certain that they would receive high grades because they were the only joint team that gave Oliver a good hit.
Anyway, it is true that I obediently followed Theo’s absurd orders.
They on the stadium couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Travis, who was in the same alliance, said to Theo with a smile.
“Theo. Should we all have lunch together? I’ll shoot. “Of course, it’s not about academics, it’s about what you want to eat!”
“I’ll just accept your heart. “I have work to do.”
Theo answered.
There was actually something to do, not something to avoid.
There is a high probability that we must catch up with Claire, who is still nearby. Since he believed that acting secretly would have a higher success rate, he also ordered his aides to disperse.
When Theo was about to leave the stadium.
“Teooooo~!”
A tall blonde woman ran from far away and hugged Theo from behind.
The cold feeling in her back immediately hit her brain.
However, sensibility bows before characteristics.
Tingling─ The pain of [Twisted Dignity of Nobility] Rises.
After training, was it because I came into physical contact with another person without washing my hands?
“Let go, Sienna.”
Theo frowned at her and pulled Sienna away from her, which was hanging onto his back.
Theo looked at Sienna. Her condition was unusual. Her Academy uniform is scratched and torn here and there.
This is my first time seeing it.
“······What happened?”
“hehehe, are you worried about me? Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I would have ripped it here and there a little more. Such a waste.”
“Just answer.”
“You know that kid who fainted after being hit by Theo? I had a bit of a fight with him. “It’s been a while since Shuksyuk came back, and I couldn’t stand it.”
“······.”
Instead of opening her mouth, Theo calmly scanned Sienna’s body.
When I looked again, it was in normal condition.
She got into a fight with Oliver, and if her clothes were a little worn, it was nothing.
‘And now that I think about it…’
······If Sienna, the elementalist, is there, things will get easier.
Finally, Theo opened her mouth.
“Siena. “Do you have time now?”
“Oh my. Are you asking me out on a date, Theo?”
“······Do I have time now?”
“Well, I’d like to go back to the dorm and change some of her clothes, but then our sneaky Theo will immediately find another cutie, right? “It’s time~”
“······I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Ohhh? What is it? What is it? “Tell me quickly.”
“Shh.”
Theo raised his index finger to her lips.
Then she took Sienna and moved to the back of the stadium.
‘Is there no quiet place…’
I found it right away.
Because the stadium was so large that it could accommodate 30,000 people, the dark areas were wide and spread out.
“I have a favor to ask of you──”
Theo explained her situation to Sienna in detail. Of course, we leave out the story about Isabella.
After listening to Theo’s story, Sienna spoke.
“So, Claire to Shuksyuk? Anyway, are you asking me to tie up that guardian knight? Until Theo tells me to let him go?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“I understand well.”
“I’ll ask Shuksyuk first. “It’s nice to play undercover missions with Theo for a long time, but since she met another friend not long ago, she’s been in a sad state of mind.”
“I understand.”
······After some time.
Sienna made an ‘O’ with her thumb and index finger.

Inside the VIP room at the Polaris Immigration Office.
Sonya sat on her sofa in a awkward posture and glanced at Luna, who was sitting across from her with her arms crossed.
Luna said.
“So you’re not Odius?”
“Yes, yes…! How many times have I told you this, Chairman! “I’m just a person who likes to create things.”
Knock, knock, knock.
Sonya protested, shedding tears like chicken sh*t.
Not only did that fairy kidnap him while he was studying quietly in a room, but he also kept repeating questions like ‘Aren’t you really Odius?’ For three hours.
Should I run away – she thought, but it ended up only as a thought.
With her own abilities, it was nearly impossible to escape from Luna, the greatest elementalist on the continent and a wizard who reached the end of the 8th circle.
All of her research materials, even her own, have now been confiscated by Luna.
“Uh, over there…”
Eve, the head of the immigration office, who was standing next to Luna in a hesitant posture, continued speaking.
“I… Lunaflora. Isn’t it okay to cry and complain like that? In fact, Miss Sonya entered Polaris through the normal route… “I even have an immigration certificate here.”
Eve pointed with her palm to the immigration certificate on the desk between the sofas.
“Oh, I don’t know! Do you guys know how someone who has been waiting for over 200 years feels?! “Have you guys waited over 200 years?!”
But her seeds didn’t work either.
200 Years.
At that distant and unfathomable depth of time, Sonya and Eve fell silent again.
Luna, who thought for a moment, looked at Sonya and said.
“But you created the [Mass Teleport] Scroll, right?”
“Oh? Yes. That’s right…”
“And this is the first time you’ve seen Pippi, right?”
“Ah, yes… “I never saw it even when I was attending the academy.”
“It took over 50 years for Pippi to be held in my arms…”
At those words, Sonya looked down at the fluffy cat in her arms.
No matter how many times she tried to get away from her, her cat never wanted to get away from her…

After a while.
Luna said while eating the pudding brought by Eve.
“Okay, I’ve decided.”
“What…?”
Sonya had no religion, but now she prayed earnestly to God.
Please let me go.
I won’t go around talking nonsense, so please let me do my research alone.
Luna said.
“You go to Ellinia Academy with me!”
Sonya’s eyes went dark!
