Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 173

173 – Lunchtime

Academy classroom as usual.

As always, when it was lunchtime, the four got together and chatted.

“Hey. But why do you look so tired these days?”

Rachel’s eyes were not on me, but on Yulia’s side.

As he said, the fatigue that could not be hidden was visible in his bright expression. I never thought I would see Yulia with dark circles.

“Huh? Ahahahaha… Is it?”

She awkwardly glosses over her words. Rachel’s eyes narrowed at the suspicious reaction, but she didn’t pry.

I know why Julia is like that.

She seems to have more than one thing to worry about as she was recently forced to take over as a phantom thief follower.

It seems that Blanca is helping her as much as possible behind her, but in the end, it is difficult for her to stand in front of her, so Yulia has to deal with her fundamental problem alone.

I’m a little sorry, but I can’t help it. If she doesn’t control her and lets go, she’s worried about what she’s going to do, and since Yulia herself likes phantom thief followers, she didn’t reject it, but accepted it.

“Hmm… Lately, my sister has been exhausted every time she comes back to her house.”

It’s hot. Following Yulia, this time it is Leah.

“Sister? Didn’t she say she got a job the other day?”

“Eh. It seems that work has become very hectic these days as the office has been moved and staff have been hired. But I can’t say anything because I like it…”

Certainly, considering Leah at the office, she is overzealous.

Perhaps it is because of her successors who came under her?

She gave Leah the position of general affairs manager. Even if her name is plausible, what she does right now is cleaning and other chores. In other words, the work itself has not changed much from before.

As the size of the company grows, the need for the General Affairs Department will naturally increase, but right now it is pushed back in importance, so the employees assigned to it are made up of non-elite employees.

In other words, it is the only department that smells like people in our foundation overflowing with elites.

When everyone sees her passionately ahead of her like Leah, it evokes very complex and subtle emotions.

Anyway, it feels strange to think that Yulia and Leah are tired because of me.

Of course, the highest authority in this field is definitely Juliet.

Since the employees were hired all at once, they must suffer until they enter a stable period.

The fortunate thing is that the elite employees obey Juliet’s words well enough to be a bit miraculous. As if we’ve been working hand-to-hand for a long time.

“Oh right. Did you know that there is a sports meet next week?”

“Didn’t you know that? Even in middle school, you did it every year.”

“No, isn’t it strange? If it’s a magic academy, why are you holding a sports meet?”

Hmm. That’s right.

If I were going to do it, I’d rather hold a magic tournament. Why bother holding a sports event where I can’t even use magic?

As we put our heads together and pondered why, a brown-haired female student burst into the conversation without warning.

“Wizards are tired from sitting and looking at books all day!”

“Uh, Dahlia…?”

After talking to her once before, she was a girl with an outgoing personality who approached her secretly and friendly.

That said, I didn’t have any false illusions about me being interested.

That’s because Dahlia is a so-called insider style who is close to everyone in the class, and above all, she and Yulia are close enough to stick together like best friends.

“That sounds plausible. But who did you hear about it from? Or did you think of it alone?”

“I was curious about the PE teacher before and asked him. Is she the only event where she can be active?”

Something is bothering me. Well, at the magic academy, physical education isn’t very useful.

As there is a saying that a healthy mind dwells in a healthy body, stamina is also somewhat important to wizards. But that’s only a theory, in reality, I’m busy memorizing one more magic spell during exercise time.

Anyway, for such a complicated reason, sports competitions are regarded as gloomy events with no high expectations for students.

On a school trip, you can build memories with your friends, but at a sports event, it’s just an image of sweating profusely and working hard.

To be honest, I don’t expect much either. I know it went quietly without any major incidents in the original work, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.

“More than that. What treasure will Raven be aiming for next?”

Julia brought up her theme of her phantom thief with her twinkling eyes.

Then Rachel sighed with a tired expression.

“This is another start. You are a real follower Be honest.”

“hehehe.”

It must have been a joke in the past, but now she has gone beyond being a simple follower and has become the leader of her followers.

“Sharon. What do you think?”

Sharon thought for a moment at the sudden question before opening her mouth.

“Okay. I do not know.”

“Really? If it was Sharon, she seemed to know everything well. It’s a shame.”

“Reason like she normally does. You did just fine like a detective.”

Sharon shook her head and firmly refused despite Rachel’s request.

“That is the realm of foreknowledge, not reasoning. No one would know unless it was the thief himself.”

It was a bit unexpected. I’ve rarely seen this guy give up so easily.

The moment she thought that there might have been a change of heart.

“Or maybe Crow knows.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the arrow that came back to me out of the blue.

Daria tilted her head and asked with an innocent expression.

“Why? What’s wrong with Maurice? Are you a prophet?”

“I think you know best.”

Suddenly, what does this mean? Are you saying you’re going to stop hiding your identity now?

Again, I was momentarily worried about how to respond to the fight that suddenly started.

“If I were a phantom thief… Wouldn’t it aim for the hardest-to-steal jewel?”

“Why? Isn’t it common to aim for something easy to steal?”

“Think of the places Raven robbed so far. From the central bank to the palace. It feels like you’re deliberately picking out the hardest places and hitting them.”

The children nodded to see if my argument sounded plausible.

She said casually to Sharon, who was looking at me strangely.

“How is it? What is my reasoning?”

“If I had to pick one specific place?”

“Hmm. Like the Grace Bourne Mansion.”

Yulia looked at me with wide-open eyes in surprise.

The other people’s expressions were not very different. Now, it might sound a little strange to say that the thief will be there when the Lady of the House of Grace is right in front of you.

But actually, it’s the expression he likes. Yulia couldn’t hide her excitement and anticipation. Please, a rich girl who wants her house burgled.

After hearing my reasoning, Sharon quietly nods without saying anything.

She asked, as if Rachel didn’t understand.

“So what did you mean by saying that this guy would know? What does he mean to be a thief?”

Rachel casually spits out dangerous remarks.

Then the atmosphere changed strangely.

Yulia glances at me with an expression that doesn’t know what she’s thinking, and Sharon smiles suspiciously somewhere.

Very inconvenient. I just want to run away

I wonder if someone will violently open the back door and show up to take me away.

Boom!

All the eyes of the classmates were focused on one place at the sudden noise.

The scene I had imagined was unfolding in reality.

A figure walks through the wide open back door. She walked confidently, as if she had nothing to do with staring at her.

White hair and red eyes.

She’s a b*tch with an androgynous appearance enough to be mistaken for a woman.

···I wasn’t expecting this guy.

I prayed that he would please not talk to me, but to put his earnest heart to shame, Granger came right in front of me and stopped.

“Hey. Minus.”

How the hell did she end up hooking up with this guy?

If she could go back to the day we first met, she would somehow stop us from meeting each other.

It is too burdensome to see the eyes of the classmates focusing on this side more than anything else.

“Shall we go outside and talk?”

“Hmm. Maybe.”

Unexpectedly, Granger walks out into the corridor first.

Anyway, what the hell did you come here for? It’s probably not because of the sleepover again.

“What weakness do you have with him?”

“It’s not like that. I’ll go out for a while.”

As I left the worries of the children behind and went out into the hallway, my eyes met the guy who was waiting for me leaning against the wall.

It looks really pretty. I’m not kidding, compared to most girls, she had a much more delicate and graceful appearance.

She’s not even a woman anyway, so what’s the use of looking like her since she’s the same guy?

I put my thoughts aside and asked Granger.

“So what happened this time?”

The guy stared at me and said right away.

“Hey. Help me out.”
