Chapter 292
Until a few days ago, it was noisy with impersonations and other things, but it became quiet after a while. In other words, it means returning to a peaceful daily life.
And when ordinary daily life is repeated, time goes by so quickly. The 22nd volume of Xenon’s biography has already started to be finished thanks to the existence of the typewriter.
As long as you send mail to the publisher after graduation, the writing of 22 volumes is over. It ended too quickly, so I thought about whether to write the 23rd volume right away, but decided to take a break.

Even if I say taking a break anyway, it’s nothing but hanging out with my acquaintances. Note that there is no Cecily yet.
He hasn’t come to the academy yet to take care of Helium’s bounty, and he may have to skip this semester.
Fortunately, the Halo Academy understands that. There is a principle that, in case of unavoidable circumstances, the postponement is exempted for only one semester.
In the case of Helium, it is a special case, so in some cases, a year can be waived.
As such, I felt a little empty because there was no Cecil at the academy, but I am communicating through Gartz.
I also welcomed the weekend where I could relax and enjoy the leisurely daily life of the academy.
“198··· 199··· 200! Stop!”
A corner of the public gymnasium where the sweltering heat of summer remains.
As soon as I heard Adelia’s call to stop, I released the strength that had been given to my arm.
The feel of the hard stone was completely transmitted to the chest, and a feeling of comfort drifted over the body. I just want to close my eyes and go to sleep.
“Take a break for 30 seconds and do 200 reps again.”
But Adelia’s cruel words from behind me awaken me.
I didn’t even turn my head, and I grunted at Adelia, who sat on my back.
“Can’t we rest a little more?”
“No. Don’t be harsh.”
Adelia answered my request in a stern voice, ignoring my request. Even though she doesn’t know anything else, she’s the kind of woman who doesn’t even concede to me when it comes to taking care of my body.

Even now, it’s not an ordinary push-up. I have to repeat it with her riding on her back on my back.
Like a trained knight, Adelia has a lot of muscle, so her weight is higher than average. In her own words, she said she was around 75kg at the most.
Considering that she is exactly 173 cm tall and her average weight is about 60 kg, this means that she has a lot of muscle mass.

Even a simple push-up is no joke when Adelia gets on her back. This cannot be done even with divine power.
This is because divine power is not suitable for a secondary role, and does not directly improve it. The extent of growth depends purely on my efforts.
“sister.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t my sister grow her body through effort alone without divine power?”
“Sure.”
As you can see in her confident answer, Adelia’s true talent is hard work and reflection.
Rather than simply ignoring it, he rolls his head to think about which method will be effective, and implements it directly to show the result.
If the results are not very satisfactory, then establish the theory again and practice again. By repeating this indefinitely, a character named Adelia was born.
“As you know, I didn’t have proper support unlike the other dongsaengs. I have to do something like this to catch up.”
Adelia, still riding on my back, speaks in a slightly bitter voice. I stopped talking for a while.
As she said, the Ters royal family only provided basic food, clothing, and shelter, but Adelia took care of everything else.

Even a swordsman was secretly taught by a certain knight. However, it was later discovered and the driver was relegated to another place of work.
The more I heard about Adelia’s hardships, the more I wondered how the Kingdom of Teres ruled the country, but it is common for people to have inverse proportions of ability and humanity.
Maybe they have a sense of the people who have to look after the people. In fact, this is most likely.
‘It’s good for me.’
Thanks to Adelia, I can feel that I have grown recently. It was impossible for her just a month ago to do her push-ups with her on her back on her back.
However, thanks to Adelia’s passionate teaching and counselors, she was able to achieve rapid growth.
In addition, when doing maid work, it acts as a brake so that you can break free from concentration.
To the Teres royal family, she may be an illegitimate child, but to me, Adelia is a rolling pumpkin.
“But he’s sneaking around? Hurry up before we add one more set.”
Of course, being a strict teacher has not changed. It’s 200 push-ups per set, so it’s good to finish quickly.
It was a training practice conducted in a public gymnasium, so it was noticeable, but no one paid any attention.
At first, some people frowned, but apparently they were in the same situation as a trainer and a member, so I quickly turned off their minds.
After all, they too are busy training, so can they afford to pay attention?
There are a lot of good-looking, handsome, or pretty people, so there is no reason to look at us.
“Isaac.”
“yes?”
“Do you have any plans to learn martial arts?”
While doing push-ups, Adelia was suggestively asking me a question.
Seriously, looking at his serious tone, it is by no means a joke. She was sincere.
As I pondered over the question, I did not stop doing push-ups.
“Um… Really? I’ve learned basic self-defense from my father, so it’s fine, but I’m not particularly drawn to martial arts. I don’t have time to learn it.”
“yes?”
“Is my body that good?”
It was a somewhat ambiguous expression, but Adelia would understand. Instead, I felt a sense of flinching for a moment.
Afterwards, she muffled the awkwardness with a smirk and answered my question.
“It’s just not at a good level. He has divine power, but it’s hard to get so good in a short period of time. He’s definitely talented.”
Adelia even praised it, but I’m not very attracted to it. As she said before, it is difficult to write a Xenon biography, but there is no time to learn martial arts.
In a way, it can be seen that only potatoes are planted in fertile soil. Still, my opinion is firm.
“Sorry. I have no idea yet. And even if I’m in good shape, I don’t know if I have a talent for swordsmanship, right?”
“You don’t have to hold a sword or a spear. There are things like an ax or a mace that you just have to wield. I can give you a simple grip and how to hold it. It’s a kind of self-defense.”
“I’ll consider it. Let’s finish this first.”
Martial arts and Nabal, exercise is important right now. Adelia knew that, too, and quietly helped me.
“This is it for today. You can go in and rest now.”
“It was hard. Oh, my sister.”
“yes?”
“Today, Marie has made concessions.”
“… …”
Adelia blinked a couple of times as I said with a smile.
But then, noticeably hotter in her face, she struggled to turn her head and coughed, then answered quietly.
“…I’ll wait.”
Unlike before, Adelia is using respectful words. This is the attitude of an exclusive maid, not an escort knight.
I wiped her cheek once and was ready to go home. Take a shower in the dormitory and you’re done.
You will start sweating again soon after taking a shower, but cleanliness is always very important.
It’s much better to be bothered than to be left in an awkward state. With that thought in her heart, she returned to the dormitory.
Unlike Marina Cecilia, Adelia doesn’t show it outwardly, so there must have been something accumulated.
I’ve been overusing my body a while ago, so I’m expecting it to be hard to wake up tomorrow.
“yes?”
It was time to take a refreshing shower while waiting for another fight at night.

Even when I arrived at the dormitory, a blank envelope was lying on the front door.
There is a hole in the dormitory door to put the mail in, so there are cases where letters or mail are placed there from time to time.
Most of them were letters sent from the mansion or manuscripts of Xenon’s biography, and notices are occasionally sent.
‘Did your mother send you?’
Lately, I’ve been writing letters to Cecily, so it’s very likely it’s Cecily. There’s no reason to send a letter unless something happens to the mansion.
I picked up the letter, drying my needlessly long hair dry with a towel.
Stationery is a common white envelope that you can see everywhere. Cecilina’s mother’s stationery is very colorful, but there is a difference.
‘Who is the letter from?’
Maybe it’s like a love letter. With such useless thoughts, I carefully opened the stationery.
There is only one piece of paper in the opened stationery. With this in mind, I opened the letter wide.
And···
[Are you Xenon?]
I couldn’t help but blink my eyes at the words written over and over again.
‘…is it Hiriya?’
There is no evidence, there is only one person who would do this.
‘But what do you mean?’
I don’t know how to react.
*****
‘This should be enough.’
Time to step back in time for a little while, when Isaac was washing himself clean.
Hiriya shoved the letter into the mailbox of Isaac’s dormitory and left quickly.
Because he was in disguise, he did not have to worry about anyone recognizing him, and he even wore glasses that covered his impression to some extent.
‘What is that guy so diligent about?’
As she moved out of the dorm, she recalled Isaac’s life patterns she had grasped for days.
Isaac’s life, as he had learned so far, was a model student himself. He stays locked up in the lab except for occasional meetings with Marina Adelia.

Even if he went out of the lab, he always went to the library. And he goes back to the lab.
It was a typical example of a scholar, but this is not what Hiriya wants. All she wants is an exact relationship with her Cecily.
However, Cecily is currently absent due to internal circumstances of Helium. According to rumors, she could take a full semester off.
Because of this, Hiriya had no choice but to tighten her heart even more. I need to figure out if he is Xenon or not, but there has already been a setback.
What she doesn’t want is proof that Isaac is Xenon. Just checking to see if he’s Xenon or not.
‘If you see the letter, you will respond.’
If it’s not a xenon, it will behave as usual, and if it’s a real xenon, there will be some changes.
Penetrating it is the primary goal. After that, it’s okay to make plans slowly.
If Isaac is not Xenon, it is enough to take it as he intended, and if it is indeed Xenon…
‘no. That’s not the case.’
Hiriya shook her head. If he really is Xenon he himself will literally fall into hell.
There is one thing I learned while following him, and that is that my relationship with Adelia was deeper than before.

Even if he is not Zeno, it has nothing to do with the permission of Marie, the daughter of the Duke of Requilis.
The opposite is the problem. Isaac must be aware of the tangle between Adelia and the Tersians, but what if Xenon really?
‘The Kingdom of Teres is completely isolated.’
The moment he touches Xenon, Hellium and the Luminus Church will act directly, and perhaps even Albenheim may use their hands.
It has to be stopped somehow. No matter how reckless Hiriya is, she possesses a minimum of common sense and concepts.
Although he became a knight because he hated getting married as if he was sold out, he knew a little about diplomacy.
‘If you use Adelia, you will be able to make up for it to some extent…’
It was when Hiriya was striding along, arranging her complicated hair one by one.
puck-
“ah!”
“yes?”
Was it because I was walking with my eyes down? A passerby collided with Hiriya.
Despite the collision, Hiriya stood without falling, while the passerby who collided with her fell to the floor.
It looks like he fell pretty hard when he rubbed his butt and made a sound of pain.
‘pink?’
Curiously, the woman who collided with Hiriya and fell had pink hair.
Like Isaac’s red hair, the famous cherry blossom color that is rare in the world.
Originally, he would have guessed which family he belonged to by looking at his pink hair, but he had no room to think about it because his heart was in a hurry.
“Twitter. Wake up.”
After clenching her tongue, Hiriya reached out and helped the woman get up.
This is something I ran into while thinking about something else, so it’s reasonable to help.
The pink-haired woman also took her hand and slowly stood up from her seat.
“Go, thank you.”
“Keep your eyes open and go.”
It was absolutely not what Hiriya was going to say, but she said that, even because of her pride.

Even with words and actions that could be seen as polite as an eyebrow, passersby passed her by without saying a word.
Hiriya wriggled his eyes at him, but he just mumbled inside and moved on without delay.
When the distance from each other is so far away.
‘It was a real stalker.’
Cherry, the pink-haired woman, muttered to herself as she looked at the back of Hiriya, who had completely disappeared.
Last time, it was a coincidence and coincidence, but now he was watching from a distance just in case.
Fortunately, the stalker was unaware that he was being followed, so he did not notice his existence.
‘I’ll let you know right away.’
As soon as Cherry recognized the stalker, he moved without hesitation. The place she is heading is precisely the dormitory where Isaac is staying.
When she arrived at the door of the dormitory, she raised her hand and knocked lightly.
smart-
“Isaac-senpai. That’s Cherry. I have something to talk about for a moment…”
