70 – 8.5 After the Hunting Festival (1)
A former student council executive won the competition hosted by the delegates.
This fact was enough to make Beatus Academy tremble.
This is because it was a truly rare occurrence even in a hunting festival that boasts a long history.
He even fought against a group and won with only 3 people. Even the onlookers looked dumbfounded.
The Dyers party was no different.
The timid Pur lowered her head, and Jenna clung to Dyers as much as she could.
Only Dyers had no change in expression.
The host skillfully asked questions.
“You did something ridiculous with just three people! How do you all feel?!”
“Uh…Uh…Ah…That’s…”
Fur, the first sacrifice, shook her body tremendously. As an introvert, she didn’t know what to do with all the attention and attention.
She hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.
I wanted to say, ‘Thank you for everyone’s good work.’
“Everything…”
“What do you think?!”
Flashing lights, sparks shooting out and floating, a gaze so friendly that it feels burdensome.
Pur, unable to handle all that, wanted to end the interview quickly.
Sometimes, when she is too embarrassed, her true feelings come out.
Pur closed her eyes tightly and shouted.
“Thank you, Dyers, for being so cool!!”
A moment of silence.
Overflowing cheers. A whistle blowing loudly.
“Ah..! Dyers was cool.. Is this a confession…?”
Pur, retirement.
.
Pur, who had died standing still, could not be interviewed, so her turn went to Jenna.
At least, unlike Jjinta Pur, the insider Jenna gave the interview skillfully.
“How do you feel?”
She thought seriously and opened her mouth.
“I was lucky I wasn’t hurt.”
The problem is that it is a random statement.
The host, who was slightly embarrassed, spoke again skillfully.
“Ah… That’s right. There’s a midterm exam coming up soon, and it’s important to take care of your body.”
“No. I don’t care, but this person, no, Senior Dyers gets hurt all the time. I’m glad he didn’t get hurt this time.”
As she said that, Jenna looked at Dyers with a slightly resentful look.
Of course, Dyers’ expression remained blank.
At most, the eyebrows raise slightly.
“Ahahahaha.. Does Dyers usually get hurt a lot?”
After receiving the host’s toss, she spat it out again with a dissatisfied look.
It looks like a lot has accumulated.
“Yes. It hurts a lot. Every time I see it, my heart breaks and it’s really hard.”
The host who received Jenna’s toss asked him a quick question.
“Dyer, that’s right?”
“It’s absurd. I’m not really hurt. It’s a ridiculous slander.”
“It’s a lie! You always go first and get hurt! And then you save the potion like a miser and never take it before giving it to us!”
“You should be quiet.”
“I don’t like it. I’m going to use this opportunity to expose the truth about you, one by one!”
Dyers tried to calmly dissuade her, but Jenna’s revelations did not stop.
“Also, and.. My senior always cooks and doesn’t eat first! He has to see me eating before he eats?! And..”
“Jenna, please stop..”
Dyers, Retire.
Bickering. At first glance, the voices were raised as if it were a fight scene, but onlookers saw it differently.
Isn’t this just a love fight?
“Dirty couples..”
“I’m so sad that I’m going to go to the academy. I should have a real relationship.”
“……No matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two is very good?”
The reaction was especially strong from the pro-Dyers faction.
Just as students in their prime are excited about dating, so were they.
The level of respect they had for Dyers was already close to faith.
It was truly sad to hear that such a person was dating.
“No, of course we should have known first, right? What did the executives do?”
“Honestly, even if we’re in a relationship, we should do it. I can even marry that person.”
“You’re the man!!”
“It’s only natural that the pro-Dyers faction fills the seat next to that person. It’s a relationship… This is so sad.”
“That’s right. How could Mr. Dyers not give us a word?”
“I’m not trying to slander that person, but… The human heart is real.”
The pro-Dyers faction said this nonsense with a stern and serious expression.
It makes no sense for the pro-Dyers faction to feel disappointed in the first place.
This is because Dyers does not know of their existence.
They, whose inner intimacy had reached its peak due to the 53rd incident, already firmly believed that Dyers was supporting them beyond what he knew.
They considered Dyers and themselves as one body.
It couldn’t have been an incredible mental illness.
“Do you think they’re crazy?”
“I sneaked in and listened to it, but it seems crazy. Let’s avoid it.”
The status of the pro-Dyers faction continues to grow today.
.
Finally, after Jenna’s interview, it was Dyers’ turn.
“The protagonist of this ridiculous victory..! How do you feel?”
Dyers glanced at people’s eyes.
Hostility, hostility, fear, resentment, anger.
There are still plenty of people who hate him.
It is karma.
But there were also changes.
Faith, faith, respect, envy, trust, madness..? What is this.
As he showed more and more changes, favorable views also increased.
You can just keep going.
Dyers opened his mouth.
“It was possible because of my team members.”
The host was taken aback by the unexpected answer.
“Ah.. I feel quite different from before, Dyers.”
“I haven’t changed at all.”
“Hmm.. Then your teammate or yourself. If one of you gets hurt, who will you choose?”
The host smiled and asked a mischievous question.
He spoke without any hesitation.
“Of course it’s me.”
“Is there a reason?!”
“Jenna and Fur shouldn’t get hurt.”
“Why not?!”
‘You can’t say that because the story won’t progress.’
“Because they are important. Hugely.”
“……”
The surroundings froze for a moment at Dyers’ confident statement.
Enough that even the host paused for a moment.
“Uh, how important is it?”
“Irreplaceable with anything.”
“Ah, hahahaha. Then it’s more important than Dyers’ life?”
The host told a joke to change the frozen atmosphere.
Dyers accepted it seriously.
“You’re saying it’s obvious. I’ll say it again. Xena and Pur are much more important than my life.”
The entire academy went into an uproar due to his outrageous remarks.
Of course, they were no exception.
“Senior.. Please stop..!”
“Dyer… Why are you doing this? It’s hard for me to breathe…”
Jenna, retirement.
Pur barely recovered and retired again.
After easily supporting them with his telekinesis, he was asked questions again.
“Did you expect to win?”
“It’s natural.”
“Ah… Is winning a given?”
The faces of the student council and delegates frown at his arrogant remarks.
“The delegates were still poor. The student council… I wasn’t there.”
“You have incredible confidence..!”
A blatant provocation against those who kicked him out.
The Latina glared at him.
Dyers also looked at his junior Latina.
At least she felt that way.
“It’s not a provocation. If you really have to ask, it’s probably more of an encouragement.”
Latina’s eyes widened at her unexpected remark.
“If you say encouragement…?”
“You will be able to do it without me. I will believe that.”
“What does that mean?!”
Dyers closed his mouth as if he had nothing more to say.
“…What are you talking about? That human…”
The interview ended with his unknown remarks.
The hunting festival has another tradition.
The ‘hunter’ who performed the most among the winning team gives the forget-me-not to the person who wants to receive it.
Of course, most people think it is just a public confession. Actually, that level is correct.
As the protagonist of the championship, I proudly received a bouquet of forget-me-nots.
I don’t know why it’s so big. Is it extra large?
“Now, there will be a flower bouquet presentation ceremony! It doesn’t matter who you give it to! The person you are most grateful for, the person who worked hard, or… hehehe. It would also be okay to give it to someone you like.”
The host makes a sinister expression.
I want to pull out the hair and feed it as fertilizer.
“Hmm, hmm. Senpai, I don’t care who you give it to.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Jenna spoke coolly, unlike usual.
Well. Even though he likes things like knives and meat, he doesn’t really like flowers.

Even if I received it, it was useless and I wouldn’t be very happy about it.
Pur is quietly watching me with his hands clasped together.
For some reason, my eyes shine brighter than usual. It seems like it’s flashing,
“Pur.”
“I’m fine, too..! I’ll follow Dyers’ choice…”
Hmm… Really? Everyone follows my choices.
Actually, I had decided on the person I wanted to give it to from the beginning.
I held the bouquet of forget-me-nots and moved my legs.
“Who will be the lady who will receive the confession, or rather the bouquet…?!”
As I was walking towards the other person, a commotion broke out.
“It doesn’t make sense for that idiot to suddenly win…! It was definitely rigged!!”
My son was Count Laur, who had been expelled from school.
I hate myself so much that I’m dying, but since I won, I guess I’ve lost my temper.
“He must have used some cowardly trick to become stronger!! Please reveal it now!!”
“Count Laure… If you say something like that without any physical evidence…”
“Shut up!! Is it possible for that pig-like guy to become like this in just a few months?!!”
Still, he was polite and called Prince Howlan to my face. I’ve completely tasted it now.
I couldn’t listen any longer and walked towards him. No, he tried to walk.
“Did I say something wrong? If you’re so confident, come out right now!”
“Laur.”
Jet-black hair and deep black eyes.
Head of the Howlan family and a war hero. Beyond being a genius, he is the pinnacle of the strongest wizard.
Dyers’ father.
Grand Duke Howlan approached him.
Faverde (10 years old).
Wait Faverde? I guessed she was gonna appear and get the flower but her name was only mentioned with no context lol
