As if he had never dreamed that I could speak so directly, Youth Phil was bruised for a long time.
I was just opening my mouth slightly with an expression that I wondered if I heard it wrong.
and then.
“… … Are you serious about that?”
He growls and shows his teeth.
It was so harsh that I couldn’t even imagine the expression the future priest would make. As if he had heard even the greatest insult of his life, Youth Phil was asking me that question with his hair trembling.
I didn’t even blink an eye in the face of Youth Phil’s huge anger.
“Then, of course not. Even a crew member who doesn’t keep even basic promises because of my personality is useless to anyone. It is much better to have nothing than to have.”
If we continue to release this reckless youth feel in our group, things that were supposed to work well will become twisted like a thread.
If you see dark buds, you should prune them beforehand.
I don’t know how the right leader’s role is to lead such a group so well that they can work on the group task properly.
I don’t think I’m compatible with the leader either.
He has a relaxed attitude to the subject of arriving late without any special circumstances, and a very light apology to see if the pride of aristocrats is not left until the very end. An empty hand that barely proves that there is not even the slightest bit of heart to carry out the task.
he’s skinny
Youth Phil Deria. admit it As a member of the same group task, it is worthy of being selected as the number one target to avoid.
Of course, as she said, it was not at all silent, but this type of person could be the biggest culprit that again weakened the atmosphere of the meeting and slowed the progress of the project.
“… under. What right do you have to turn me off… … ”
Youth Phil scratched his head. It was so ridiculous that it seemed like a smirk came out of nowhere.
“It’s temporary, but I’m the leader. You have the duty, responsibility, and right to manage the members. You agreed to me to lead.”
I didn’t really want to do it though. To be honest, I just wanted to let Alfress play the lead role… How did it happen
I thought that controlling the freewheeling Youth Phil and Hector would be the top priority, so I decided to encourage it as I regret it. Youth Phil also strongly agreed with it.
“… … ”
The youth feel was staring at me, not knowing what to say.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“… What?”
“Are you sure you won’t regret it, damn it? to turn it off Then there will be five to four. From the looks of it, it seems that you are an Epic class and want to get good grades, but it would be difficult to get the highest score if I missed out. Nope?”
… … You bastard, how did you know?
The fact that I’m crazy about A+.
… What.
It’s not that I didn’t even think about it. Did you not cooperate well? Because there was actually a chance.
But there are extenuating circumstances in the world, and there is such a thing as flexibility according to circumstances. It is safe to say that even if one member of the group who shows such an idiot is arbitrarily excluded, the score of the entire team, including the youth feel, will probably not be reduced.
Furthermore.
I hate to think this way, but Epic Class is basically receiving a lot of trust and favor from professors. The popularity of course registration explodes just by proving that Epic Class has chosen their course from among the numerous courses offered at Frontier.
In other words, they were students who were sure to get a place in the Empire in the near future, so there was no reason to neglect them.
If you explain the circumstances in which you had no choice but to leave out Youth Phil’s name, I’m sure you’ll understand.
However, outside of the professor’s evaluation, there was a drawback that the difficulty of performing the task increased a little, but it was clear that it would be more messy if the youth felt participated in the first place, so this was a much better option.
I said looking directly into Youthfeel’s blazing eyes.
“uh. It won’t happen. never.”
“… … ”
“If you’re going to keep doing this, just go back. You don’t have to go to the meeting in the future, so go and take a bath you like.”
The emotion that appeared on her face was shame or anger. Her white face was as red as if she had boiled and ate a train wagon.
Alfres chose to watch rather than restrain the two of us. With arms crossed, he looks at Youth Phil, not me, with a sarcastic expression. It seemed that he had no intention of opposing my opinion.
Lenny, who was restlessly watching on the day when he was scattering the chilly, cold air, immediately shut his mouth as there was a distant stillness between us.
People at the station passed us like that and glanced back at us. It was okay because I was accustomed to being focused on something I didn’t want to. Now I’m curious to see how the rumors are going again. damn it
—Woo… …
After arguing with Youthpil for a while, I saw the next tram hum and slowly approaching the station.
You’ll have to take the opposite tram from here to get back to District 2. So the youth felt had to pass me, Alfress, and Lenny.
Youth Phil was biting his lip without saying a word. What do you want to say to me? I was looking down at her with a height that had the upper hand, as if I could do it.
To be honest.
If the youth felt, instead of a light and frivolous apology like before, told me that I would not do it in the future with the dignity and sincerity of an aristocratic young girl, I was also willing to forgive him at least once.
Even so, if I repeat the same thing again, I won’t look back and be mercilessly expelled. Like I said, I could only give you one chance.
—Tick, tuck, tuck.
Youth Phil passed me by with a stiff expression.
“… Fucking goon bastard. die.”
That was the youthful choice.
The soft tip of Youth Phil’s hair is caught in the corner of my field of vision. The sound of footsteps filled with intense emotions becomes very close and then begins to move away again. The direction was over my shoulder.
“Youthpil Deria.”
The youthful didn’t stop.
So did I.
“… My family has collapsed. He was permanently expelled from the aristocracy for the sole reason that he refused to be drafted. I am no longer a noble or anything.”
I had no choice but to give as if everything I had was taken away. The father, who was the head of the family, moved to the countryside, choosing not to run away.
Students alight from the stopped tram pouring out. Passing by my side, Youth Feel must be mixed with the students.
A voice that seems to be shriveled out of my mouth, buried in the countless sounds of words coming from here and there.
“Don’t lose yourself just because you have nothing to lose.”
Probably, even the seeds won’t be eaten.
… Youth Phil Deria.
A member of the fallen Baron Deria. Even though it was clear that he had just entered the school, he had a very sarcastic attitude. An apple that has a light meaning and is too light. It must have been like that for a long time.
As a being who was once a noble noble, it may have been possible only if he had to give up all his pride as a person.
I know I’m not in a position to discipline. Because the situation of Youth Feel is probably very different from mine. Maybe she didn’t have someone like Rubia from my childhood.
Tick, tuck… …
–widely.
On the third step, you look back at me.
and.
A youth feel with an unknown expression.
“Damn it. sick bastard.”
Naturally, he raised his middle finger.
#8
After Youth Phil left for District 2, Alfress and Lenny, together with me, headed to a nearby restaurant to get an empty stomach.
It was late in the evening, so there weren’t many people, so it was quiet, but it was good. We ate some well-cooked meat and talked about the group task.
Abilities required to control mana. Mana variability. Various properties of mana. It is not the mana generated from an individual’s internal storage, but a peculiarity that occurs in the process of refining and releasing the mana absorbed from the natural world. A circuit structure that has different characteristics depending on how mana has been used so far. Alpris, who majored in magic, Lenny, who majored in swordsmanship, and me, who majored in both. What happens when the mana released from these three collides with each other.
We discussed what we learned in 「Mana Control I」 one by one, and discussed how to solve the problem properly.
After dinner, before the last tram arrived, we stopped at a cafe to organize the conversations we had today, and after leaving a note for each of us to spend later, we started introducing ourselves very late.
Alpris was an international student in the Kingdom of Artina. Second son of Count Chevluf. And the Kingdom of Artina was Yuri’s hometown. In other words, the princess of the country Alfres lived in was in the same Epic class as me.
Alfres must have been aware of that fact, so he began to ask me with great curiosity about what the princess looked like, which had only been transmitted through rumors in the country.
It was hard to know how to respond to this, but he told me that he had blonde hair, red eyes, and a classical face that matched the titles of a princess and a princess.
Then I met him like this because he said that he would like to spend some time with Yuri sometime, so maybe it won’t be possible.
Lenny, who started the introduction next, was a commoner. He was a young swordsman who was expected in a remote village, but it was said that he was burdened every time because he was too fussy.
The fuss grew stronger day by day, so after graduating from middle school, he was told that he would not like to take the frontier entrance exam.
In the end, he was dragged away by the villagers and forced to take the frontier entrance exam.
Lenny was right in front of us now.
The village lavishly congratulated Lenny as a hero of national salvation, and with the words that he believed in it, he collected donations from the entire village and paid for the frontier entrance fee. Thanks to this, the village’s budget for half a year seemed to have been blown away, but the villagers just rejoiced.
… … Come to think of it, all Epic classes were full scholarships. There was no need to mention that fact in front of Lenny.
Anyway, I am suffering in many ways because of that burden. When I came here, it seemed like everyone was better than me, so I said that I was so sorry to the villagers who believed in me.
By that time, I was almost about to cry, so I took out a handkerchief and added a word of thanks. “By any chance, on the day of admission… I don’t remember… ?” He looked up at me quietly.
When I said something, it seemed that he had met me on the day of admission. I’m really sorry, I couldn’t remember at all, so I thought about it for a long time, and then I hit my forehead at the scene that suddenly came to mind.
The moment I arrived by train to the frontier to participate in the entrance ceremony, I met a freshman in the hallway as I left the room. She was wearing the same maroon uniform as Lenny now.
But since it was a really fleeting meeting, I almost forgot about it. Contrary to me, Lenny wanted to remember me.
It was also an Epic class with so few numbers, and he must have been very impressed by the fact that he met me in a very tense state in many ways.
After that, we drank coffee and talked about school life. Alfres and Lenny were mainly interested in what kind of life I, who was an Epic class, had, in general.
But there’s nothing special about it, right? Listen to class, eat, train, eat, take class, train, sleep… … They seemed to be curious about my dormitory environment.
I was embarrassed to tell you the truth. The general class dormitory room is big, but it doesn’t seem like the Epic class. Above all, Alfres and Lenny admired the luxurious amenities installed in the Epic Class dormitory site. They say that to go to a swimming pool or something, they have to take a tram or something like that.
“right. Ezio, I have a question for you.”
When it was almost time for each of us to go back, Alfresse suddenly asked me.
The Epic Class is an elite group that gathers only the best talents on the continent. What was the decisive factor that allowed me to enter the Epic Class, perhaps, that was what I wanted to ask from the beginning.
After thinking about it, I realized that Alpris’s major was magic, and asked if I could use a third-level flame-based magic here.
Alfress said, “It’s not that difficult, but… why?” has been asking the question
I shrugged my shoulders without saying a word, and Alpris followed me, dubiously and meekly casting the magic.
After a short chant to increase concentration, a small magic circle with red light appeared on Alfres’ palm.
—Third-tier flame-based magic, Flare.
While the summoned flames danced and flickered according to the will of the caster, a flash of light flashed in my head and I stretched out my right hand.
Alfres was very upset.
Lenny, who was watching with a smirk, was startled.
It’s only a little bit safe because it’s fixed in place, but the destructive power of the third-tier magic, Flare, can be easily learned by the size of a human’s fragile palm. Anyway, the handling is great. It’s so easy to fix flame-type magic, which is based on radiation, so… …
I didn’t even use a magic circuit. They would have seen it too. He just reached out and grasped the magic Alfres had cast.
—Shoo Woo.
The moment the fire touches my hand.
It contracted rapidly as if time had closed, and eventually disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Judging by the fact that he disappears so easily, it seems that Alfres wasn’t the genius of the century.
They were dazed at the fact that they had completely extinguished the third rank magic with a simple gesture.
As soon as I saw the white and gold uniforms I was wearing, I just nodded with a little admiration as to what kind of convincing process I went through.
… … What.
That’s right, the last number is 15.
#9
After breaking up with Alpris and Lenny.
I quickly boarded the tram that came just in time and returned to the Epic Class dormitory.
“Where shall we go today… … ”
Breathing in the cool night air deep into my lungs, I was about to head to the 3rd building to burn my tired body one last time.
In-young, who was walking from the tiled road on the left, was caught in a corner of her field of vision.
It was almost 11 o’clock at night, so it was dark and I couldn’t see well, but I could clearly see her hair of pure gold shining in the scarlet street lamp.
Sure enough, it was glass.
As always, I wanted to surprise him after hiding behind the bushes, but because it was Yuri who said that if he joked around one more time, he would shred the sack without asking, so I decided to simply say hello.
Whether he had been walking along the promenade, he walked slowly from the opposite side of the glass coming back from that direction.
—A bruise, a bruise…
I can hear footsteps that aren’t mine, but I keep looking down. It seemed like we would just bump into each other if we went like this, so I spoke first from a distance of three steps away.
“hi.”
“——!?”
Oh, I didn’t expect such a violent reaction.
Yuri, who had been screaming silently, was startled. It looked like he had encountered a ghost on the road at night, so he wanted to quickly retreat.
—Slippery.
“Hey hey?!”
Stepping on the stone that had moved one step back, he drew an acrobatic curve and began to prepare to fall magnificently.
Ugh, if you fall that way, you’ll break your head.
I couldn’t let it go like that.
-widely.
As I grew taller, my stride became wider and my reach became very long. He quickly took a step forward and grabbed Yuri’s wrist tightly. As it was pulled, the light and small glass body flew in powerlessly.
He quietly lowered his head and made eye contact with Yuri.
“I didn’t mean to surprise you, I’m sorry.”
“… … ”
Reflexively wrapped around the back and waist.
A few strands of hair, wet with cold sweat, were clinging to the slightly recalled cheeks of the glass. However, the fact that Yuri’s face was red wasn’t because of my actions, it was just a state of being a little red from the beginning.
Feeling a familiar déjà vu, it smells a little darker than the scent I had when I wrapped the glass at the medical center the other day. Wearing plain clothes, not Epic class uniforms. A windshield with an open zipper and a pure white round T-shirt inside. My legs, standing at an angle, were wrapped in training leggings by my hands on my back.
It was the way to exercise. It was surprising.
“… … ”
“… … ”
There was a moment of silence.
Eyes redder than reddish earlobes, blinking a couple of times, met my eyes.
right after that.
The car was about to lift the glass up.
“… Hey, go away-!”
… … oh
gossip is flying
-chin.
“I helped you, but I’m sorry if something like this hits you.”
“Hey, this is… … !”
Yuri’s wrists were held in vain.
As they struggled as they were, knowing that the fight wasn’t good for me, as soon as I let them go, they jumped and slidly backed away.
“Uh, uh, uh… … ”
For some reason, I wrap my arms around my shoulders as if to cover my chest. The look of a cat soaked in rain was that of a person who was forcibly molested, so I said with a bit of embarrassment.
“… You know, isn’t that on purpose?”
All in all, really.
Yuri couldn’t hear me.
“You, you, you really, talk, talk, nonsense… Two, twice… Really, ha ha… ”
“… No, wait. hey. Are you crying?”
“You, I really hate you… … ”
… Is this enough to bring tears to my eyes?
… … for awhile.
Based on rational and cool thinking.
If we try to understand it from the heart of a sensitive girl like Yuri, um. I don’t like touching men. Weak to surprise.
Now that I’ve been working out, sweat is all over my body, and considering Yuri’s noble status, I wonder if she’s ever been hugged by a man like me.
Because of this, it is clear that the excessive number is producing water droplets around the eyes of the glass.
In short, it was a very difficult situation.
“Hey, hey… Whoa… … ”
“Hey, hey… sorry. Do not cry. It’s my fault.”
“go away… I hate you really… … ”
“Um, I’m sorry… … ”
I just squatted down and started crying. driving me crazy.
He approached me cautiously and tried to pat me on the back, but he pushed me away with a helpless hand.
… … It’s a big deal.
I thought we were going to be close, but they told us to go away again, so I started talking to him with the intention of having a conversation.
How did it get farther away?
