199 – Rayleigh of Lightning
“Nothing else, could you tell me a little about Miss Rayleigh?”
“What, what…… ?!”
Seirin’s complexion turns blue at my question.
She froze as she stood up.
It must have been a completely unexpected question.
She was startled by how the waves were raging in her narrowed eyes, like a calm sea. It’s so bright that it’s not strange even if I open my eyes right now.
It was clear that the eyelashes were shaking, disturbed by the name Rayleigh.
“Hey… Miss Seirin? Are you okay?”
“Sa, Mr. Yongin… ? What did you say now? Did you really say Rayleigh?”
“Yes, it is, but… Could I have made a mistake?”
“Whoa, it’s not like that… …. Why are you curious about Rayleigh?”
Seirin calms down her trembling voice.
She takes her seat again.
While setting the mood with a serious expression.
Seeing this reaction, it’s like a name that shouldn’t be mentioned… It felt like breaking a taboo.
“… I was simply asking out of curiosity. As you know, I am the head of the dorm, right? I wondered what kind of person he was that he didn’t come back for a long time.”
“That’s right. That makes enough sense…….”
“Then are you telling me?”
“Hmm… …. But it’s still unclear when he’ll be back, so I don’t think you need to know right now. And Mr. Servant? It would be good in many ways to draw attention to Rayleigh. If you ask other people, they will probably respond similarly to me.”
Seirin desperately avoids the question.
If possible, in a tone that she doesn’t want to talk about.
But I really needed the information right now.
“No, I heard from the Vice Principal that he will be returning sometime today.”
“What, what…… ?!?!”
ㅡ bang!!!!!
At my remark, Seirin hit the table with both hands and jumped to her feet.
I’m surprised. If it was a regular wooden table, it would have broken in two right away.
By the way, what kind of girl is she that reacts so violently? I can’t wait to be more curious.
“Ah, lady… ? Calm down.”
“Ha, I’m sorry. Are you surprised?”
“I am fine.”
She’s worried that the new table might have cracks…….
“Anyway, senior Rayleigh is also making a comeback in the end. I never thought you’d come back so soon…….”
“Why are you so surprised? What kind of person are you?”
Seeing this kind of reaction, even I shrink.
I also felt it while reading the letter,
As expected, it seemed certain that she was not an ordinary young lady.
“Hu, good. Let me sit down again.”
“Oh? Are you willing to tell me something?”
“Yes. It would be much better to know if you return today. And I think it will be a long story.”
“Yes? Do you have that much to say?”
“Sure. In particular, if you are a servant who is favored by senior Sofia, and you are a human being, there are some things you must know.”
“…… ?”
***
Academy 4th year Rayleigh of Lightning.
As you can tell just by looking at her title,
She is a dragon with lightning attributes.
Rayleigh is also a direct blood relative of the founder dragon.
She was the heir to the clan of the beginning of the 6 ancestors who fought against the demon dragon.
ㅡSince ancient times, our ancestors have said that there are two kinds of light in the beginning. A warm dawn that embraces life and sprouts seeds. And the lightning that splits the turbid darkness with an intense beam of light……. Only when these two lights are combined can the demonic dragon, Detronos, be extinguished forever…….
These were the first words that Sei Rin uttered as she started her rhyme.
According to her explanation, the Dawning Clan and the Lightning Clan were the clans that did the most to seal Detronos in the Great Dragon Wars, she said. That’s because only these two attributes could effectively counter the demon’s power.
Having heard this far, I was able to figure it out right away. Why was Rayleigh set up as Sophia’s rival in the original story?
—-Unfortunately, these two clans do not get along very well. What started out as a good-natured competition soon spread to a battle of pride between clans, which continues to this day.
As expected, the original settings are the same.
These two clans are actually rivals.
I never thought it would be a conflict between the clans rather than between the two characters…….
According to Seirin’s explanation, Rayleigh always quarreled with Sophia. With the wrapping paper that says she is a legitimate couple.
Sophia has always ignored this challenge.
She is a pacifist.
Because she was more reluctant to compete with others than anyone else.
Rayleigh has treated Sophia as a coward. A situation in which a third party could accept that Sophia first let her tail down and ran away.
But even so, her juniors fell in love with Sophia’s personality and chose her as the student council president every time.
After all, she was a Sofia who won every victory without ever fighting.
On the other hand, Rayleigh’s personality was the exact opposite.
Enterprising, challenging and courageous.
The type to prove with only strength and skill.
Because of this tendency, her attitude towards her juniors was completely different from Sofia’s.
If Sophia is her reliable eldest sister,
Rayleigh was in the position of military commander.
As such, she was feared by her juniors.
ㅡ She is usually strict and scary, but ironically, senior Rayleigh is also the second most popular among her juniors. As far as I know, there must be more followers than Diora-senpai? If I come back this time, Diora-senpai’s line won’t be able to use their strength anymore.
To think there were three factions in the 4th year.
For some reason, Diora’s position was small.
As expected, the real rival was Rayleigh.
Besides, there was another reason for the second highest recognition despite being the military commander.
ㅡIt’s no exaggeration to say that the entire Valkyrie Island academy was founded by the Lightning Clan. It’s because they’re the academy’s biggest sponsor. And for this reason, the professors at the academy also can’t carelessly treat Rayleigh sunbaenim?
Listening to it, she is almost like the daughter of the chairman. That’s why I was able to move around as much as I wanted without having to come back.
ㅡEveryone is paying attention to Rayleigh sunbae-nim’s convenience. In addition, it is also true that the benefits are passed on to the juniors who follow her seniors. It is certain that today will pass without any punishment.
Yes.
The eldest daughter of the academy’s largest sponsored family.
Rayleigh’s power was enormous.
Is it like the feeling that your father is the commander of the corps?
None of her could have touched her.
Even the professors were speechless when they saw them crawling.
ㅡ Of course, that doesn’t mean that her senior’s personality is eccentric or evil. Rayleigh sunbaenim doesn’t know anything else, but she properly recognizes her talented juniors. Besides, she’s a bit scary, but she’s definitely charismatic.
If you put together the image of Rayleigh you heard from Seirin…….
She directly manages her successors even in her later years, but she is talented and has a back, so no one can shout……. Does she feel like an invincible late-life sergeant who can’t even touch the line?
ㅡ Ah! And she almost missed it! As for her servant, be careful not to be seen by Rayleigh-senior if possible!
Before Sei Rin left her living room,
Those were her last words to me.
I had no choice but to ask her why.
ㅡHe’s a picky person to begin with, but he’s extremely ruthless and merciless towards a different race. So if possible, don’t offend your seniors!
‘Jeep, I’m scared to hear such words, so how do you proceed with the roll call tonight… ….’
After hearing Seirin’s story,
The sun is setting at some point.
Soon it will be dinner time.
ㅡRabbing, tight… !
I hurriedly tidied up the break room,
I closed the door properly and went outside.
To have an early dinner.
I had eaten some moist sweet and sour pork marinated in sauce before it came out, but I never felt full. I couldn’t even eat it all.
“Haa, aside from Rayleigh’s hatred of other races, what the hell was your relationship with this body in the past?”
ㅡTurb, tumble, tumble… !
I went to the restaurant thinking about my relationship with Rayleigh.
‘Obviously, she called her teacher in the letter, but she doesn’t seem to be referring to a professor at the academy. Then what the hell…….’
ㅡUngseong-ungseong… !!!
It was when I thought that far.
“Hmm? What? Did something happen?”
For some reason, the restaurant is noisy.
That’s right, the ladies gather and gossip.
Everyone gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, regardless of grade.
At first, Ramzy failed to cook again, so I wondered if his funeral was being held.
ㅡIsn’t Rayleigh really cool?
ㅡThat’s right! Appearing like lightning, appearing, taking care of juniors in his line, and disappearing…….
ㅡI, I only felt scared…….
ㅡAt this point, I’m afraid I’ll switch to Rayleigh sunbaenim’s line too!
ㅡ Indeed… Diora sunbaenim has already passed the water.
‘Huh? What? Did you just say Rayleigh?’
Could it be that you’ve already returned…… ?!
