The rumored child (2)
R202 after the textbook lecture.
Elia left the classroom for the last time.
Since it was the first day, it was over with a brief orientation. Unlike other professors, there were no assignments. I thought I could understand why he was called ‘the most popular professor in the academy’.
‘There’s a lot of time left.’
There is about an hour and a half left until the next lecture.
“What do you want to eat?”
“How is the new pasta restaurant? Everyone said it was delicious.”
“I’m dying because I don’t have money, let’s get some education.”
Listening to the story, it seemed like they were solving a meal inside.
Elia followed the rumbling crowd in front of her. When I went up to the 5th floor of the building, I saw the cafeteria.
[ Today’s meal: King pork cutlet – 4 fer ]
Many people use it because of its low price. I seemed to know roughly how to use it.
Following the group in front, they purchased meal tickets, naturally picked up the plate, and received food as if they were a group.
Up to this point, I somehow followed, but I couldn’t eat with them.
Elia sat alone in a secluded place.
‘······Eating alone.’
I took a drink with a pouty expression.
The Imperial Academy was quite different from the Royal Academy.
At the royal academy, there were many opportunities to make friends, and I had to eat only in designated places. At the Imperial Academy, everything was autonomous.
Because of the overly guaranteed autonomy, it was rather difficult to get along with people.
Especially for Elia, who had been cut off from the world for a while.
“·······”
I ate a little bit of rice. I have no appetite today. Just when I was rummaging through food for no reason, someone put down the tray in front of me.
It was a girl who had taken a textbook lecture with me.
“Can I sit here?”
At the same time, food plates appeared in the seats next to and in front of them. I also saw them in the textbook lecture.
Elia calmly nodded.
“hi! I’m Celigo, and they’re Olivia and Isabel. We are freshmen just like you.”
Sally said with a bright smile. Olivia and Isabel also shyly waved.
“Are you Elia Agnes? Candidate for Archmage.”
“I heard a lot about it. Let’s be friendly.”
As if they had just become close friends, an awkward air flow flowed from the three of them. We should have met at the freshmen welcome party before the semester, and since today is the first day of the semester, we have no choice but to be awkward.
“okay.”
Elia showed an awkward smile.
I was unfamiliar with the kindness of others, but I couldn’t keep my heart closed forever. As the other side approached him first, he himself had to show some sincerity.
Fortunately, these guys seemed to be very interested in ‘a person named Ellia’.
“It’s amazing to see it in real life.”
“Is not it? It’s like watching a celebrity.”
“Which lecture are you taking? If there is something overlapping, let’s listen together.”
Thanks to that, there was no great difficulty in participating in the conversation.
Nearby restaurants, their own magic series, timetables, weekly tasks, etc.
We ate together and talked about various things.
“How many assignments do you guys have?”
“I have one.”
“me too.”
“I only have 3 assignments from the first day…”
Celie’s complexion darkened.
“It’s fortunate that there are no textbook assignments…”
“Professor Leonard’s lecture?”
Sally nodded at Isabel’s question.
“yes. But that professor, was it different from what I heard?”
“What?”
“Have you heard any rumors?”
Olivia and Isabel put down their spoons when Leonard’s story came up. Elia pretended not to listen.
“My sister said she was a very kind professor. He always had a smile on his face and said he liked hanging out with students, so I expected it from the bottom of my heart, but he wasn’t that kind?”
“It is.”
Olivia agreed.
It wasn’t that he was mean or eccentric, but he was less kind than rumors had it. In particular, the appearance he showed right before the lecture was close to being cold-blooded.
“You seem blunt.”
“Is not it? His tone is hard, and he is definitely far from being kind.”
We chatted about Leonard for a while.
They say that their eyes are cold, that they are arrogant and difficult to talk to, that they seem sensitive.
It seemed like things were going in a bad direction.
“But he was very handsome.”
“Wow, I agree too. Was this the first time you were surprised to see your face?”
“Well, it’s better for a good-looking person to be blunt than to shake your heart. That makes it even more attractive.”
In the end, it ended with praise. Elia also timidly nodded.
＊＊＊
I walked out of the classroom confidently.
It’s an hour-long class, but I finished it in 30 minutes using the orientation as an excuse.
There is no next schedule…
The textbook lecture was over, so there was nothing to do.
“·······”
I headed to the library.
Now that I’ve come this far, I’m thinking of studying magic by borrowing a book that isn’t in the library.
Plan to analyze 「Throw」 in more detail and study 「Expedium」, which is said to be the king of defense magic.
I wanted to take a break, but it wasn’t time to be lazy yet. Considering the monsters that will come in the second half, you should study magic steadily from now on.
Above all, in order to prevent an incident that will happen tonight, I had to stay at the academy until late.
Elia’s first rampage, which should not be neglected even if it was blocked in advance.
Tumble- Tumble-
When I came downstairs, I saw a hallway bustling with students. The library was at the end of the hallway.
That means you have to go through that road.
“under······”
I sighed briefly and moved on.
Every time I passed a place with a lot of people, the same thing happened.
What’s so urgent, they get ahead of me. It’s the same now.
Tadadat-!
Five female students ran past me. After some distance, someone called their names.
“Ellis!”
“grain!”
“Jane!”
“Irina!”
“Celestine!”
Then look back naturally.
I didn’t call, but my eyes were fixed on me.
“·······”
The blatant gaze is burdensome.
I didn’t know because I’d never been good-looking, but being good-looking wasn’t always good.
I turned my gaze away and headed to the library. This happened countless times in a hallway less than 50 meters away.
“Cecile!”
“Chloe!”
In fact, this was only a yangban. Because they just look at your face and go back.
Some polar kids even tried physical contact.
Just in time, a female student showed signs.
She was walking normally, but as soon as she found me, the steps started to twist.
He put his hand on his forehead as if he was dizzy.
“Ah, habitual vertigo-”
Soon after, he lost his balance and fell on my side.
Like the clichés of romance dramas, it’s an alteration intended to fall into your arms by chance. If it was the old Leonard, he would have accepted everything.
gulp-
And I still want to accept it.
Sexual desire that could not be completely controlled even with “restraint”.
“Haaang…”
A female student’s glamorous body gets closer. It was a bust with tremendous volume that did not seem to hurt even if bumped into. The sexual desire that had been quiet for days boiled over.
“I’m dizzy…”
The female student unnaturally tried to hug me, and in the end I didn’t avoid it.
However, I used [No Film] to put my body into a no-contact state.
A spell that is effective only when the difference in magical power between the caster and the caster is large.
So, there is no person in the hallway who would go against my 「no film」.
Of course, no one was able to touch me, and the female student passed through me.
I’m sorry, but I can’t accept every obvious modification.
“Mom!”
The female student screamed and fell over. He was about to slam his face on the hard floor.
······I’m still a student, but I can’t hurt you.
Before falling to the floor in the hallway, he lifted the female student up with his mental movements. She rose smoothly, like Michael Jackson’s Lean Dance.
“… uh, huh?”
“If you are sick, go to the hospital.”
“yes? Ah yes. Thank you professor.”
The red-faced female student bowed her head and left.
It was an [iron wall defense] worthy of a master of defense magic.
＊＊＊
That night.
Elia did her homework in the ‘library study room’ with her new friends.
Going to a cafe together, having dinner, studying, these were ordinary but always dreamed times.
happy.
As much as I want this to be forever.
“Elia, did you solve this?”
“That’s answer number 3.”
“Ohh- you’re also the archmage?”
“Certainly, the talents are different. It’s great, comrade.”
“Oh what?”
Celie and Olivia pinched her cheeks and teased them. He often brings up the story of the Archmage, but it felt good.
I had so much fun doing the assignment.
“It’s already half past nine…”
Elia’s expression became sullen as she checked her watch.
Elia is 17 years old. Because he was still a minor, he was subject to state sanctions.
Early entrants can be active at 10:00 p.m., and unless there is a special reason to go out, they must return to the dormitory before then.
On the other hand, Celie, Isabelle, and Olivia are all adults over the age of 19. In short, it was time to part.
Isabelle stroked Elia’s chin.
“Uh-ju-ju, my baby. is it time to go Will my sister take me home?
“done. don’t do it.”
This time, Olivia messed up her bangs.
“Write. If an adult says thank you- you should!”
“Oh, don’t do that.”
Elia lightly shook Isabel and Olivia’s hands.
When he was treated like a great wizard, he was treated like a child now. I was pretty proud of myself. Whether they knew that feeling or not, Isabel and Olivia continued to tease Elia.
“Oh, I’ve been taking Elia since she was the size of me, but now she talks back and she’s all grown up.”
“That’s right, honey. Time is already-”
“I am going.”
When Elia stood up, the older sisters’ pranks stopped. Sally asked quite seriously.
“Can you really go alone? Shall we go together?”
“OK. Let’s go for a walk to cool off a bit.”
“Okay, can I go alone?”
Elia firmly shook her head.
It was a 5-minute walk from the academy, so I was able to go alone. Of course, it would be nice if everyone went together, but once I was teased, I didn’t want to go together. Taking me to the dormitory really felt like being treated like a kid.
“I’m going. See you tomorrow.”
After a blunt greeting, I came out of the library.
Stars floating in the sky and cool night air.
Elia greeted the darkened world outside with light steps. A hum came out of nowhere.
“Hehe.”
I laughed to myself like a madman.
If I had known life at the academy would be this much fun, I would have graduated early and entered school right away.
‘Ah… you couldn’t come because of your adoptive parents, right?’
I was so happy that I forgot the past.
What do you think? It’s all in the past.
“Hehe.”
I went to the dormitory in a good mood.
Tuck- Tuck-
By the time I reached the main gate of the academy, I saw a familiar figure in the distance. A man with a large body and a normal body.
I wondered where I’d seen it, and it was Dustin and the guy who took the class together. The guys who tried to drop flower pots on their heads.
“·······”
The corner of Elia’s mouth slowly went down. The exhilarated feeling slowly subsided.
‘What’s wrong…’
Elia pursed her lips and changed her path.
I wanted to ask them one by one, but I decided to go over it once for a smooth academy life.
Are you afraid of poop and avoid it? It’s dirty and I avoid it.
It was then that I was about to turn around and go to the dormitory. A sudden headache arose.
‘Ugh… did I study too hard?’
I tried to move, but the headache got worse. It was so painful that I couldn’t even take a single step.
Elia covered her head.
“Aww…”
At that moment, an illusion appeared in front of my eyes.
A scene began to blur, like a crackling TV. It was Dustin’s face.
– You insignificant beggar. It was filmed because of you!
-Since Sally plays with you, do you think you’ve become a noble?
-That’s why you shouldn’t come to the academy for things you haven’t learned.
soon after
-slap!
I saw myself being slapped on the cheek. The owner of the hand is Dustin.
The headache stopped there.
When I opened my eyes, the world was the same.
“ah······”
A drop of tear flowed down my cheek. The phenomenon disappeared, but the emotion remained.
The pain I had forgotten for a while, the fear I never wanted to feel again, came back vividly in my head.
Before long, Elia’s blank pupils were filled with vicious intent to kill. Both hands trembled with boiling anger. Only one conclusion came to my mind, which had lost its reason.
“I will kill you.”
I kill all those who bully me.
I don’t just suffer unfairly like I used to.
Elia stretched out her arms.
Then the branches of the trees along the road turned black. Not only did the color change, but the strength also became as hard as steel.
The “substance transformation ability” that was hidden until now.
The “quality of a great mage” displayed in anger.
Tree branches transformed into metal all at once rose into the air.
woo woo woo-
Soon after, it rushed toward the target.
At a terrifying, flesh-piercing speed .
