93 – 20. The tragedy of the group task
The night of the duel with Hector.
It’s already been over a month since I won and ran away before dawn.
The princess returned to the Korean Empire, and I went on a trip with Liu. It seems like there was some conversation between the princess and Liu…… Honestly, I’m not sure about that.
As a result, I was finally enjoying a vacation like summer vacation.
“Now, newspaper.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liu.”
Emerald sea and soft sandy beach.
Put up a parasol to avoid the scorching sun, put up a sunbed, and lie down comfortably.
You have sunglasses on your forehead, and the tables next to you are lined with ice-filled drinks and snacks.
In a place where there are no people, there is no noise, and there is only the sound of waves.
I received the newspaper from Liu and opened it.
“……”
“They say they’ll take legal action, aren’t you scared?”
“Why a good person like me?”
“……I hear you’re really scary when I see you sometimes. How can you be so shameless?”
Liu was lying down on the sunbed next to me and sipping his drink, smiling as if he were in awe.
I opened her newspaper to the side as she turned her head as if she wanted to read it with her.
“Let’s see… … Isn’t that stupid guy not allowed to come to the academy?”
“That’s probably not true. Hector isn’t dead, so there’s no need to give up the most obvious proof of ability, a Romance Academy diploma.”
“Wow, I thought there would be one less competitor, but no.”
As I flip through the newspaper with Liu clicking her tongue, I see a photo of Lane confidently standing in front of reporters.

The title of the article is…… ?
‘Now you’re stepping forward.’
After the duel, Lane became a little, or a little more, active.
It wasn’t that I was reluctant to go public to begin with, but should I say that I’m more concerned about something?
I’m so busy that I can’t contact you, but I only receive letters from time to time. If you read them, they say that you’ve already developed your own influence……
How on earth did they do it? Did Hector help you?
In any case, in many ways, Lane is acting independently, breaking away from being a tool for her family and marriage.
I think they held a press conference for political investigation to say that there was no problem with Hector since he occupied a place in Arthur’s power structure.
“Her left arm was blown off, so I guess I’ll have to say this…”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Hector’s left arm was blown off in this duel.”
To be honest, she was really surprised to hear the news afterward. While Hector was chained, he broke his left arm in an attempt to break a glass jug, which was enough to cut off his arm.
She has no other profession, especially considering what arms mean to an
Archer.
The Arthur family’s exclusive Is making prosthetic hands, but in reality, the archer’s life is almost over.
So I was worried that she might come to take revenge on me……
“That? Don’t worry too much. You’ve already heard the whole story from the secret agents, right?”
“…That’s right.”
Hector has declared that there will be no revenge, both officially and through the unofficial route planted by Rio, so we can only believe it.
Since you are a guy who likes things like duels, is it possible for you to laugh with your left arm?
…… After thinking about it like that, I remembered that Hector really tried to kill me, and I just accepted it.
It’s cheaper to buy an arm instead of killing someone.
Really, if you are attacked, the artifact you will receive from Rio will protect you…… That’s it! Maybe!
Anyway, I would wake up later, so I turned the pages of the newspaper again.
Oh, this is…… ?
“Mr. Liu, have you seen this?”
“Huh?”
“It’s an article called “
“Ah, that?”
This summer vacation…… It was a big deal for me, but there was also quite a big upheaval within the Romance Academy.
Instructor Daisuke Yamato went beyond the Great Lakes Exam criteria and directly raised the issue of grading at the academy.
As he was a senior instructor, the impact was quite large, so the interior was noisy for a while, but it seemed to have been sorted out now.
“Hey, Instructor Yamato is a b*tch too!”
“……Can’t you see the interview here that says ‘A fortune teller’s words enlightened me’?”
“Can’t you see?”
“Ugh, yes.”
I really didn’t do anything this time, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Is there a student who is as good-natured as me and truly cares about the academy?
Just like a lion dropping its cub off a cliff, I am also agitating because I am worried about the Academy!
In the end, things have changed thanks to me, so isn’t that a good thing?
“It’s only a few days since the semester starts.”
“I would like to say that the vacation was too short… But it seems like there was a lot of work…”
“Well, right? I went here and there and had a hard time, dude.”
Start of semester. It was originally a curse word, but why does it feel so welcome now?
It’s comfortable here, but it’s so luxurious that I’m not used to it.
I just want to return to my cozy base as soon as possible.
When I go back, I will be able to see people I haven’t seen throughout the vacation──
“…Hey, fortune teller.”
“Yes?”
“Are you… Going to see that evil b*tch when school starts?”
“Um…Who are you talking about?”
“That super-powered b*tch!”
“Ah, you mean Mr. Lane! Umm…”
Why are you saying that meeting Lane is such a big deal? We also exchanged letters a few times.
About a month at most…… I didn’t see it…… Dun………
‘By any chance, do you like me?’
“Quaaa!!”
“Tsk, tsk, look at this. This guy forgot on purpose.”
I’m crazy, really! Why did you say that then?
The dark history that he deliberately tried to forget while resting for a month replayed again and again in his head!
‘By any chance, do you like me?’ ‘By any chance, do you like me?’ ‘By any chance, do you like me?’
“Die, my past self…!!”
This is just a fool! It’s so embarrassing!
I understand why Jisoo said to me, ‘Oppa, you have no experience with women, so don’t mistake favor.’
Jisoo Jisoo………
“hehehehe, why. Bring me a blanket?”
“Don’t pour oil on a burning house….”
“No, well, that could be the case. From what I can see, since Lane is obsessed with you, he could be mistaken for liking you. Hmm.”
“Kuhuhuhuh…….”
“It’s an illusion. An illusion. It’s an absolute illusion. That b*tch definitely doesn’t like you, so don’t be mistaken.”
“I know without you having to say it so many times.”
Wow, how can I see Rain’s real face? Should I just run away?
Now I understand why the university told me not to do CC.
You said you were worried about bumping into each other at the same university, but the same academy? Same class too?
“Kill me…….”
I can’t even hold her face in front of the real Rain.
Please, Raina…… Please stop spreading rumors……
While she was thinking that, she was absentmindedly repeating the actions of randomly picking up the sand around her and throwing it at random.
“Hmm, hmm.”
“……………….”
“Hmm, khuhhum!”
“……Miss Liu? Do you have a cold?”
“You must have been caught! Well, that’s not it. You don’t have anything to say to me!?”
“What do you want to say…?”
Uh……… Is there one? What?
I thanked you for giving me the artifact, and also apologized for breaking it. What else?
Unless Liu goes crazy, he asks, “Do you like me?” You probably don’t want the same thing.
What on earth is this?
“…Did I do something wrong?”
“Uh, wrong? I don’t have anything?”
“Then what is it…?”
This is what Jisoo said, ‘Oppa, don’t you know why I’m angry?’ Isn’t it the same crappy way of speaking?
When Ji said that because she overslept and couldn’t eat, I really felt like I was going to die.
…… When I think about it, I think I didn’t end up just being scared, but I really swung. He easily avoided it though.
No, Jisoo, now that I think about it, why is she so athletic when she hasn’t even done any exercise?
“Um… Um… Did you change your cosmetics? Or shampoo?”
“……Ha, you bastard.”
“Ah! It’s a weak drug!”
“No!!!”
Huh? Wasn’t it weak? I put it in last time too.
Honestly, when I first found out that Liu had put poison in my meal, I wondered if he liked me…… Thanks to Lane, I know my topic well.
This guy must have added the poison just to tease me!
“Ugh, that’s right. It’s much better for you to be like this on a consistent basis… More than anything, the more difficult it is, the more it tastes better to overcome it.”
“……?”
What are you talking about?
I looked at Liu blankly, wondering what kind of bullsh*t I was talking about, and Liu laughed a little and threw the sand he was holding in his hand. Fufu fu!?
“Li, Mr. Liu!”
“You stupid fortune teller! Get rid of this!”
“Cluck, cough! If you come out like that…!”
The intense desire to kick this blanket will definitely be resolved here!
Today I will give Rio a sand bath──
Puck!
“Are you going to surrender?”
“…I surrender.”
──The energy was applied in two shots.
No, isn’t it illegal to throw artifacts in the sand? …

“Ah, this is already annoying.”
“Mr. Liu?”
“If it’s a prepared flight, it’s definitely going to be economy class, right? How can you sit in a seat like that for 5 hours? Well….”
After the long yet short summer vacation, it was the first day of school to return to Romance Academy.
I was planning to somehow get on Liu’s private plane, but Rio, who was naturally going to board the private plane, couldn’t take off and just sat there waiting.
…… It seemed like what was in the newspaper was true.
“No, I know things will change starting from the second semester. But why are they controlling the planes I take? Whatever you do, you can do it at the academy!”
“Just calm down for now, Mr. Liu.”
“What’s the truth? How many students go to the Romance Academy from this Hawaiian airport in the first place?”
Rio is clearly irritated and yells loudly.
If I hadn’t rented an entire small airport in Hawaii because I wanted to quietly ride on a private plane, I was so hysterical that I would have been kicked out right away.
Of course, I was very used to this type of situation and was skillfully soothing Liu as I always did.
“Hey, over there…”
“Oh, that’s annoying! When are we leaving!?”
“Let’s wait a little longer. Like Mr. Liu said, how many students will go to the Romance Academy from this small airport? It’s probably just the two of us at most?”
“Well, well, over there…”
“…Only the two of us?”
“I guess that’s right? Even if it’s just the two of us in economy class, it’ll be fine.”
Is it really okay? I don’t know because I’ve never flown on any plane other than a private plane.
But wouldn’t it be possible to turn the chair like Rio’s private plane?
“Hey, over there…!”
“Hmph! Still, I won’t be bored if I go with a fortune teller like you. It’s an honor to know!”
“Of course, Mr. Liu.”
“Hey there…!!!”
“Ah, why! You’ve been so noisy since a while ago!!”
“Hee, hee!?”
Liu, who seemed to be feeling a bit relieved, suddenly made a grim face and shouted loudly.
I noticed several times, but the boy who persistently talked to me was frightened by Liu’s force, but he closed his eyes and opened his mouth trembling.
…… If I see you here at this hour, are you a student?
“Oh, you are a great rich man! It’s an honor to be a fellow student!”
“Oh, yes. That’s right. Why are you here? I rented this entire airport?”
“Well, because I’m the son of the owner of this airport!”
“Son? Yes, I understand that. So why are you here?”
“Yes, yes?”
“Are you sure you came after me, you bastard?”
Doubt.
It was indeed Rio’s suspicion that we had seen for the first time in a long time.
Liu’s eyes changed from irritated to suspicious and he stood up, glaring at the son(?) Of the airport president who had not yet grasped the situation.
The artifacts worn all over the body shine, and a ceremonial dagger is held in Liu’s hand.
The air around the area became heavy due to the magical energy released when the artifacts were activated, and the student’s eyes filled with fear as he sensed the seriousness of the situation.
“Uh, uh, I…….”
“Ah, that’s enough. If you resist, of course they will be suspicious, and if you are caught obediently, they will be suspicious because you don’t know their true intentions. I’ve seen a lot of people like you. Don’t you know that I don’t know?”
“Oh, ah, no!”
“No, damn it. Aren’t you a student at Romance Academy?”
“Oh, no! I’m a real academy student!”
“That’s it, I’ll torture you to death until you obey and tell the truth──”
Tight.
“Ah! Don’t hit me on the head!”
“Mr. Liu, please don’t suspect an innocent student.”
“Hey! Fortune teller! How do you know whether that bastard is guilty or not!”
“This is the student I saw at the entrance ceremony… Hmm, hello? Do you know who I am?”
“Ah, I know! You are a fortune teller in the special occupation class!”
“That’s right. We moved together during the entrance ceremony.”
“It’s an honor that you remember me!”
I smile and receive a greeting from a student who nods, and tidy up the hair of Liu, who turns his head as if he is sulking.
Liu, who had glanced at me and then at the still frightened student, seemed to have relieved his anger at least a little from that touch, and took the first step.
“Hmph, let’s go!”
“Mr. Liu? Where are you going?”
“That’s obvious! I’m going to catch a plane. I saw you come in earlier.”
“Did you hear? Let’s go quickly!”
“Uh, that person…”
“Leave that bastard alone! Just the two of you can go! Hey, you. I’ll take care of you for now, but act wisely, okay? I don’t want this little airport to go bankrupt.”
“Yes, yes!”
Today is not even that day, and I am led by the hand of Rio, who is exceptionally sensitive, and head to the boarding area.
Of course, I thought there were only three of us, including the two of us and that student, but there were already three students standing at the boarding area.
…… Liu’s face distorted even more.
‘This is everyone’s first time seeing this face.’
Whether Liu and I come or not, there is one girl who is looking at her phone.
There is a male student with a fairly fat body, round glasses, freckles, and short hair.
And there is one handsome male student with bleached blonde hair and a mean-spirited look that looks like he has a tan all over his body.
Lastly, there is a short male student who quietly follows behind.
They are all strangers.
Liu gets irritated and hysterical every time she sees these students, and I hold onto her shoulder tightly before I can even say hello.
A blond-tanned male student with a dirty look approached her first, licking his tongue.
To be exact, it was headed to Rio…… Why does her tongue keep flailing so dirty?
“This is a beautiful girl, isn’t it? What do you think? Why don’t you leave the incompetent guy next to you and come with me?”
“……What?”
Hmm…… I want to say something, but it’s already too late, right?
I don’t want to get caught up, so let’s quietly take a step back.
Tap.
“Oh, what is it? You know the topic well. But you have no pride in walking away so calmly──”
Wow─── billion!!!!
“Ugh, gasp!?!?”
“You caught this bastard at the right time.”
Boo! Bah! Whoa!!
“Argh! Argh! Save me!”
“I’m already so annoyed, but you damn-looking, turned-off bastard dares ignore me!?”
“Oh, it hurts! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
“I’m not sick! So it’s okay, you idiot!! I’ll give you hospital bills, settlement money, everything, so let’s get it right!!!”
“aaa!!”
…… It’s really hitting me hard.
The tenacity and courage of that male student are also surprising.
“……….”
“……………….”
What is more surprising is the girl on the phone and the fat boy who don’t say anything even after seeing this scene.
No, no.
“…….”
Is that little boy who lies from beginning to end the most surprising?
Here’s a combination of a hysterical wealthy person and a fortune teller who specializes in blanket kicks.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Please don’t do group assignments.’
…… It was a combination that made me want to say that without even thinking about it.
f*ck! Sigh! Puck!
“Stop. Stop!!!”
“Someone can quit at will!”
How long are you going to be like this? ……
Golden sun doesn’t work here
