Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 90

90 – Cold Attitude

It was an unexpected turn of events.

Of course, the main character is not a strong, complete character from the beginning.

Because he is a growing boy cartoon character who gets stronger through various incidents as time goes by.

However, Layered is the protagonist of this world. He

In other words, he has that special quality and has above average skills.

More than anything else, Layered knows how to win.

It is not the strong who win, but the one who wins is strong.

But that was a fact.

To think that such a main character lost to an extra who didn’t even appear properly in the play.

How did you win? Of course, by the time I came, the sparring had ended, so I missed the battle scene.

I looked at the situation belatedly to get even a little clue.

First of all, the two people’s appearances were farther than I thought. Right now, I’m in a state where I’m properly scorched by Rachel’s flames and smeared with soot.

In other words, it can be predicted that the battle was surprisingly not fierce.

And the two of them looked quite normal. Except for the fact that Layard’s breathing was a little rough, he didn’t show any symptoms such as his physical strength being pushed to the limit or his magical power exhaustion.

At first, I was a little puzzled.

Because it was the opposite of what I expected.

If the two of them had fought each other fiercely, both would have been in much worse shape than they are now.

Conversely, if either side had an overwhelming victory, on the contrary, the winner would have been neat and the loser would have been serious.

So what does it mean that both are fine?

Generally, it can only be interpreted that both sides did not do their best. In other words, you have to fight roughly and end it in moderation so that you can become what you are now.

‘It can’t be.’

I immediately shook my head and denied the possibility.

I am confident that I understand the personalities of the two to some extent.

It’s not like he’s burning with passion or enjoys fighting. However, both of them have a very high fighting spirit and pride, so they can’t stand losing to anyone.

Especially considering the strange confrontation during break time earlier, it was safe to say that there was absolutely no way he would take care of or take care of this sparring.

Then you should consider other possibilities.

‘What am I doing right now…’

Suddenly, you’re not a thief, but a detective, and you’re investigating the case.

Anyway, let’s come back to the main topic and make another guess based on the information we just gave you.

I can think of the possibility that the battle ended abruptly without even having time to fight fiercely.

While it sounds similar to the ‘overwhelming victory’ scenario I thought of earlier, it’s a completely different situation from a technical point of view.

Overwhelming victory means that even though the opponent fought with all his might, the difference in skill was so great that it was impossible to reverse it.

On the other hand, the ‘sudden end of battle’ I’m talking about is different.

In other words, it feels like a natural disaster or an accident. In other words, the lightly thrown jab for containment was luckily eaten as a lucky punch and the opponent knocked it down.

A composition of coincidences that might happen only once in 100 fights.

“Hmm…”

There are plenty of possibilities.

Of course, the evidence is still insufficient to confirm. That’s something you should know by now.

As it was free sparring time, some children were resting without participating in sparring.

Among them, there must have been people who watched the sparring just now. For example, this girl who has been here all along.

However, I couldn’t approach it easily and hesitated for a while.

It’s been several months since school started, but she’s never talked to this kid.

In the first place, except for the level of layering with the members of the group that I always hung out with, I didn’t know anything about it.

Still, I didn’t want to go on without knowing, so I mustered up the courage to speak.

“Dahlia.”

“Huh? You···.”

As soon as my name was called, the girl immediately turned around to check my face and tilted her head.

Speaking of this friend, it can be seen as a supporting character who gets along well with everyone and doesn’t have a moderate presence. In normal works, it seems like he hangs out with Yulia and often reflects her face.

“What happened to you talking first?”

“Looks like you watched the two of you sparring in front of you.”

“Ah… Come to think of it, were you close with the two of them?”

I asked her the main point while nodding her head moderately.

“How was it?”

“Huh? Dalian?”

“Yes. I just came and didn’t see it.”

“Um… Contrary to what I expected, I have to say that it ended blandly.”

Oh. First of all, an answer similar to the reasoning I expected came out.

It’s still too early to judge, so let’s listen more closely.

“How specifically?”

“Can’t we just ask the two of them directly?”

“They are not the type to explain things in detail.”

“I guess so.”

Anyway, this guy has a great affinity.

I never thought that an awkward boy with whom I wasn’t even friendly would accept me without hesitation even though I was talking to them without hesitation.

Dahlia is immersed in thought, as if she recalls the match that just happened.

“At first, Layered pushed. In fact, we continued to hold the upper hand until right before the sparring ended.”

“By the way, Sharon won?”

To be honest, I expected Layard to win.

What I wanted to check was whether or not Sharon would use her personality magic in the meantime, because I never imagined that she would win.

“How did that happen, because Sharon kept pushing and suddenly her eyes flashed at the end?”

“And?”

“After that, I suddenly won.”

“What?”

I think too many intermediate steps were omitted.

However, no matter how many times I persistently asked, the answer that came back was the same.

“I don’t know exactly. Did Sharon subdue Layered just as soon as her eyes twinkled?”

“Um…”

I don’t know how to take this.

Maybe it flowed similarly to the confrontation between me and Rachel.

Thanks to the fire magic that draws attention to its splendor, it must have seemed that Rachel was consistently overpowering her from the outside. However, the decision to end the match quickly and the number of trump cards I used made the decision to win or lose in an instant.

Likewise, Sharon continues to conserve her strength. It is possible that she burst it at the end.

For some reason, the description that the eyes flashed was particularly important.

Looking back, I vividly recall the emerald eyes that were shining bright in the dark when I faced Sherlock in the sewer.

However, the expression that the eyes flashed may simply be a metaphor for a change in momentum.

I caught Daria as she was about to leave to make it clear.

“Is that enough? Then I’m going to sparring soon too?”

“Wait a minute. Don’t go, hang out with me a little longer.”

“Huh…? It doesn’t matter to me, but…”

Okay. If you know this for sure, you can get clear evidence.

“You said earlier that your eyes flashed. That’s exactly…”

At that time, Sharon, who was walking this way after sparring, met her eyes.

She looked at me and Daria, who was next to her, for a moment, then said with a calm expression.

“Can you step aside?”

“Oh, sorry.”

Involuntarily, it became the shape of an obstacle blocking the movement and got out of the way.

Nevertheless, Sharon stopped and looked at me without moving immediately.

“…Do you have something to say?”

When I tried to talk to her with that gaze, she just ignored me and passed me by.

What is it?

Although Sharon has a naturally arrogant personality, she feels especially cold today.

As I glanced at Sharon’s back in bewilderment, Daria, who was next to her, replied with an awkward smile.

“Sorry. It’s just because of me…”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Oh. Aren’t you more ignorant than I thought?”

I don’t understand why I have to suddenly hear this.

[Ugh. Like this pathetic guy.]

‘Is the Goddess joining us now?’

[It’s just something I’ve done once. Don’t listen too closely.]

No, what’s the point of saying that after you said it yourself?

In the midst of feeling dizzy from the sudden pouring incomprehensible nonsense.

Daria sighed and explained what she meant.

“You’re jealous.”

“… Eh?”

“Eh? This is not It’s natural for her to feel annoyed and upset when the girl she’s interested in is talking to someone of the opposite s*x.”

After looking around her to see if anyone was listening, she hurriedly shook her hand and vehemently denied it.

“It’s not like that! What would you do if you heard Sharon?”

“What? I must have been more hurt by your reaction now.”

“Isn’t that what it is? Why are you saying it as if it were natural?”

Daria put her hand on her waist and asked me the opposite question.

“Why are you so sure that it is not the case? A woman who likes a woman’s heart knows better. Even if I don’t like you, it’s clear that I’m interested in you.”

“·······.”

Anyway, this makes no sense.

That cold and blunt Sharon.

She’s interested in me?
