106 – Disciplinary Committee 5
Johanna silently watched Rocky, who was whispering with the pink-haired girl.
The light in Johanna’s blue eyes was gradually fading.
‘Can’t hear it.’
I wanted to know what Rocky and that girl were saying, but they were too far away, and they were whispering, so I couldn’t hear the conversation.
If I enhance my hearing with mana, I might hear it, but other professors might find out.
“…Earlier, you didn’t answer until the end.”
I recommended a place that’s perfect for lounging around, but Loki only gave an awkward laugh and didn’t answer until the end.
“Why?”
The place Loki wants to lounge around in is very picky.
It shouldn’t cost any money to live there, it shouldn’t be a secluded place, there should be good restaurants nearby, and there shouldn’t be any dangerous things around.
That’s what Loki wants. And Johannna thought that apart from his own house, there is no such place.
While at home, she wouldn’t ask Loki for money, and the Freya Manor is not a secluded place.
There is always a top chef waiting at the mansion, and if there is any danger, she can ask them to deal with it.
“…..Hannah.”
When she heard that Loki’s goal had changed from traveling for 10 years to lounging around.
At first, she was surprised, but she thought it was better this way.
If they travel, another woman might cling to Loki like a bug.
But if they just lounge around, she doesn’t have to worry as much about another woman clinging to him.
Plus, if they live in the same house, there won’t be any other women to worry about, and she can always see him when she wants to.
“Living together…”
If they live together, they’ll wake up together every morning, eat the same food in the same place, play together, have the same dinner, and when night falls…
“…Hannah?”
And. In the same bed… the two of them…
“Johanna!”
Hearing the loud shout from beside her, Johanna was able to snap out of her imagination.
“Uh, uh?”
“What are you thinking that you can’t even hear me right next to you?”
The person who spoke to Johanna was her fellow student and friend, Jenna Suguru.
“Oh, where does it hurt? Your face is really red!”
“…It’s nothing, really.”

The professor in charge of the disciplinary committee looked at Loki and Da Run.
“While I understand the situation to some extent, listening to the opinions of the parties involved is a separate matter.”
The professor’s sharp eyes turned towards Da Run.
“First, Da Run Reba, tell us how you ended up fighting with Loki.”
Before that, the professor said to Loki.
“For now, be quiet. I’ll give you a chance to speak after Da Run finishes.”
“Yes, understood! I’m confident in being quiet and talking. Both are my specialties.”
After finishing the contradictory statement, Loki raised his hand to his face and slowly swept it from top to bottom. When the smiling mask touched Loki’s hand, it turned into an expressionless mask.
“Lucas, is it okay to act like that in the disciplinary committee?”
“Well, now I don’t know either.”
Because of Loki earlier, Johanna felt embarrassed, awkward, and foolish for coming here for no reason, but the special class students were still worried about Loki.
Although he might not face any separate penalties for showing such a playful attitude in the disciplinary committee.
Other professors might not take kindly to Loki’s behavior.

“Seeing him so confident, it doesn’t seem like he did anything wrong, right?”
“That’s true. Judging by his school life, he seems like a good kid, but wasn’t there some misunderstanding?”
However, contrary to Lucas’s expectations, the professors didn’t seem to dislike Loki as much as he thought.
This could be attributed to Loki’s usual behavior.
Although Loki wasn’t great at studying, receiving a score of zero on his exams, he never dozed off during class like other students, and his attitude in class was good.
Moreover, when he spotted a professor passing by, unlike other students who avoided them, he would approach first and greet them loudly.
Professors, being human, naturally liked diligent and well-behaved students.
Thanks to this, in the eyes of the professors, Loki became a crazy guy who might not excel academically but was a well-behaved crazy guy always striving to do well.
The reason for being labeled as crazy was Loki’s behavior during the last practical exam.
“Dalun, tell us now. How on earth did you end up fighting with Loki?”
“I went to Loki next to me because I had something to say directly to him.”
After receiving treatment from a high priest for several hours with divine power, Dalun could speak to some extent.
However, it didn’t mean he was in his right mind.
His desire for revenge against Loki was burning so fiercely that it could engulf him.
“So, I reached out my hand to become friends and greet him, but this guy, with his hands in his pockets, ignored me and said, ‘Are you telling me to grab this?’ while dismissing me!”
“Ignored the greeting, and then what?”
Unaware that the professor in charge of the disciplinary committee had a troubled expression, Dalun continued without stopping.
“There, I endured it once and asked for his name, but he gave me a fake name……”
Excitedly talking, Dalun finally noticed the professor’s expression, and his voice gradually diminished until it disappeared.
“Sigh… that should be enough for now.”
The professor, exhaling a deep sigh, looked at Loki with eyes full of dark circles.
“Loki, do you have any objections or something you’d like to say in response to what Da-run just mentioned?”
“Every word Da-run senior said is true!”
Loki acknowledged Da-run’s words as if they were of no consequence.
A clean acknowledgment that didn’t even include a small denial.
With his swift and neat acknowledgment, even the professor in charge of the Sefiana Disciplinary Committee, who was standing nearby, was surprised, not to mention Da-run.
Of course, Loki had a reason for not denying and quickly admitting.
“But consider it logically, everyone.”
Loki spoke to everyone present here as if performing a play, not to the professor in charge of the disciplinary committee.
“Ignoring a senior’s greeting and using a fake name? Of course, if we judge it as right or wrong, it’s undoubtedly the wrong behavior.”
In contrast to Da-run, who spoke as if shouting swallowed by anger, Loki’s voice, delivering the play with a calm tone, had the power to captivate people.
“But does that justify over ten seniors attacking me all together?”
Loki paused in his speech here for a moment.
As if giving the listeners an opportunity to speak up.
“I can’t say it was a good thing to ignore the greeting, but as Loki said, does that give them a reason to all attack me?”
“That’s true. Even if he deserves to be scolded for ignoring the greeting, having ten seniors attack him seems a bit excessive…”
“And besides, is it even their right to scold him when he’s not even part of the leadership or student council?”
Of course, there was only one professor deciding the disciplinary action.
But there wouldn’t be many who could ignore the voices coming in.
“Well, that…”
That’s why Da-run, forgetting that he had no right to speak, opened his mouth.
“I’m sure I told you not to speak.”
In response to the cold voice that reached his ears, Da-run closed his mouth like a mute.
He had a lot to say, but he couldn’t say anything.
He was angry that he had ignored the greetings and given a fake name.
But the most infuriating part was realizing that the guy had been joking about selling a magic object.
But I know that saying this won’t make much of a difference.
“Then why did you behave that way when you knew that ignoring greetings or giving a fake name was wrong?”
The professor in charge of discipline spoke to Loki in a chilling voice this time, but Loki immediately opened his mouth as if nothing had happened.
“I was on my way to attend a class with Miss Sepia. Someone approached me and started talking to me. Honestly, I wasn’t surprised just because someone talked to me.”
It was a sudden remark, but the professor didn’t say anything in particular.
Because he noticed that the person Loki was talking about was Da-run.
Loki casually flicked the mask that covered his entire face.
A ridiculous and grotesque mask.
“Honestly, it would be even stranger if someone didn’t approach me while wearing such a noticeable mask.”
The professor in charge of the disciplinary committee looked at Loki, who had attracted the attention of everyone here.
Having dealt with quite a few disciplinary committees so far, he had seen many students who tried to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
Money, power, threats.
Of course, those things didn’t work here.
But Loki was dominating this place with just his silver tongue.
Of course, even if Loki spoke less eloquently and just in a regular manner, the judgment would have been the same.
‘The other club representatives and professors over there wouldn’t be any different.’
While Darun is currently only thinking about the disciplinary committee, Loki has been thinking beyond that.
“Oh, right. By the way, didn’t Senior Darun say something earlier? That he came looking for me personally.”
Darun said that Loki was the one who started the argument.
And Loki acknowledged that in his heart.
The reason Loki ignored Darun’s greetings or gave a fake name was simply because he didn’t like Darun.
“But you know. Behind the person who talked to me, there were more than ten people armed with swords, staffs, and bows.”
But that’s nothing.
After all, there’s no evidence that he didn’t like it.
“It’s natural to be cautious without reaching out recklessly or revealing your name, right?”
