243 – Pretend you don’t know (1)
After breaking up with Sonya, the Chairman, Claire, and Sienna.
Theo headed to the student cafeteria to have lunch.
‘Hmm.’
All the other students had gone out to eat, so the cafeteria was deserted.
After Theo quickly finished his lunch, she headed straight to the training ground.
As expected, the training ground was also quiet.
It was a sight that would make a normal person feel relaxed, but not Theo.
‘It’s been a while since I thought I’d try playing against a magic doll.’
She was rather happy at the thought of training alone and leisurely.
For the first time, the experience of fighting against one of the strongest men on the entire continent, Oliver, motivated him.
With that in mind, Theo changes into his training uniform in the locker room.
“Hmm.”
His eyes were fixed on the collar of his uniform.
The thread at the bottom of the collar was slightly loose.
To a normal person, the damage would be negligible, but it was not for Theo.
‘I can’t believe I wore clothes like this.’
[Twisted Dignity of Nobility] Is thrilling─
Theo was punished.
He is a mentally ill person who values appearances more than anything else.
Theo frowned and looked at the damage to his clothes.
“······.”
However, it is irreparable damage that cannot be repaired with the magic input into the [Magic Cartridge].
‘I guess I’ll have to ask Amy to bring me a new pair.’
Theo immediately took out the communication crystal ball and told her to contact Amy and bring her the new academy livery.
─Yes… I understand, master. We will leave immediately.
For some reason, her voice coming through the crystal sphere seemed different from usual.
Theo ignored it and started training right away.

When Theo was dealing with a magic doll modeled after Oliver several times.
Burrr, brrr─
The communication crystal ball placed in the corner vibrated.
It was a call from Amy.
Kkii Iik─
When I headed to the main gate of the training center, there stood Amy holding her fist.
Amy handed her suit case she was holding to Theo.
“······This is the cleanly washed and intact Academy uniform you ordered, Master.”
“Okay, thank you.”
As Theo handed her suit case, she discreetly observed Amy’s expression.
To a third party, she thought she was the same as usual, but she looked different in Theo’s eyes.
Since acquiring the [Observer’s Eye] Trait, Theo has been accumulating data on Amy’s facial expressions.
She has an expressionless face for the most part, but there is also joy, sadness, despair, etc. She expresses a variety of emotions.
Eventually, he came to a conclusion.
‘Somehow, something has happened.’
I don’t know why, but I guess Amy is anxious and sad right now.
‘What is the reason?’
······I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Joo-muk.
After Theo remained silent for a while, Amy opened her mouth.
“······That young master. “Do you have anything else to say?”
“No, there is none.”
“······Yes, I understand. “Then I’ll just leave.”
“Yes.”
Amy, who was about to leave, opened her mouth again.
“I… Master. “Do you have any special plans for Friday?”
“No. “What’s going on?”
Theo looked at Amy intently.
Amy pursed her lips for a moment at that clear gaze.
‘Shall I tell you…’
I thought it was worth a try.
Judging from the anecdotes that have happened so far, Theo seems to have a vague guess about his identity.
But──
“······It’s nothing, master. See you later.”
──There is no way for him to know that he was a spy for Equilibrium and was working undercover at the Balderk family.
In other words, his relationship with Theo started with a lie in the first place. If he found out about this, how much he would hate himself.
······Amy didn’t have the courage to reveal the fact.
Theo tilted his head for a moment and opened his mouth.
“Yes. “See you later.”

5 Minutes ago, inside the warrior department student council room.
Saint Isabella was walking around the student council room with her arms folded. Her movements were aimless and aimless.
‘It’s a mess…’
Not long ago, she received a report from Claire that she had stopped following Theo.
Her anxious mind did not calm down well.
The good news is that he didn’t go on a rampage at the scene.
The chairman and other personnel were also present at the scene, but it is said that he did not mention his name.
‘As expected, he’s like a fox.’
What that means is that he will directly hold the person who gave instructions to Claire at fault.
‘······What should I ask for?’
Since you did not lose face in front of other people, it is reasonable to grant most requests.
After walking through the student council room for a few minutes, Isabella moved to her window.
She then looked at the entire academy.
It was one of Isabella’s old habits.
Perhaps because I heard that the silver-haired fox was a training addict, my eyes naturally turned to the training ground first.
‘Oh.’
You can see him in front of the main gate of the training center.
Is the woman in front of her wearing a maid uniform and holding her suit case his servant?
It seems like the servant is right.
The maid handed him a suitcase.
‘······Uh.’
At the same time, the maid’s thoughts were read in Isabella’s head. Even though I still couldn’t read his thoughts.
‘How should I tell Theo about this?’
From Noble mtl dot com
Suddenly this scene became interesting.
‘······I referred to that guy who was my employee as ‘Theo.”
The maid does not perceive the fox in front of her as a superior being who must be supported, but as an object identical to herself.
It was a sight she had never seen easily, even though she had seen numerous relationships between employers and employees.
Most of the employees were either trembling at their employers or were smiling in front of them, but inside they were pouring out curses at their employers.
‘Hmm…’
I tried to read her thoughts until the maid said hello to him and left her place, but she had nothing to read.
The maid just kept thinking, ‘Should I tell her or not?’ And ‘I miss Selena.’
‘Tsk.’
It was a waste.
That guy is the only person whose minds cannot be read, so he has to get information from people around him.
Approximately an hour has passed.
Burrr, brrr─
The communication crystal ball I received from Claire vibrated.
······Is it him?
When Isabella presses the reception button on the communication crystal ball, she immediately hears a voice.
─Hello, Senior Isabella.
It was him too.
Isabella said.
“Okay, bye.”
─I have something to say to you in person. Please tell me a good time today.
It was not something that could be solved by avoiding it.
In my experience, handling these cases quickly is effective in appeasing the other person’s anger.
“I’m fine anytime. “See you at your convenience.”
─Then, would you mind meeting me in the student council room in 30 minutes?
“It’s okay.”
─See you then.
“Yes.”
That’s how the call ended.
“······Ha.”
Isabella put her contact crystal ball back on her desk and then pressed her temple.
‘Scary guy.’
It is an excellent management technique without any unnecessary details for a first-year student to use. It seems as if he knows everything about himself, having suffered for years in a religious order filled with all kinds of conspiracies.
He can’t read minds at all, and he has absolutely no idea how to act.
The thought of meeting that bastard again makes him restless.
“No, no. “Let’s change our perspective…”
Besides that guy, a being whose mind cannot be read may appear again.
Even then, you can’t be this anxious.
“Phew, phew.”
Isabella took a long, deep breath, took out a knitting set from her desk drawer, and began her knitting.
After her meeting with Theo yesterday, she started to find peace of mind.
She actually chose silver as a way to not forget the person who gave her such a big shock.
“Ouch!”
While doing her knitting, Isabella pricked her hand with her needle.
“Iit, seei….”
After muttering for a moment, she resumed knitting.

Inside the academy’s director’s office.
“Oh my…”
Sonya looked around her, her eyes sparkling.
The chairman’s office was filled with ancient documents and books that are extremely difficult to obtain in modern times or are known to have been lost.
“I… Chairman. This book and that book. Oh, and this too. “Can I read it?”
“Do whatever you want. Don’t tell me! “I’m busy!”
Luna answered roughly and looked up at Sienna who was standing next to her.
“Hey, you idiot! So where is Ortega now?”
“I don’t know, kid. It’s been a while so I don’t remember much. Ah, of course, if I introduce you to other spirit friends, I think I’ll remember them~?”
Sienna smiled, looking down at her Luna with a triumphant look on her face.
