121 – Replace Scene 121#
*
The next day, as soon as Wendy showed her face in the classroom, she received a warm hug from Sia.
“Poetry, Shia-san… . I’m out of breath… .”
“I do not like it. I won’t let you go. really… . I was really worried.”
Sia’s eyes moistened as she hugged Wendy tightly.
When I think of that time, my heart still trembles.
Wendy and the students were swallowed up in the barrier with a roar.
When it comes to magic formulas, it was an unusual barrier even from her eyes, who had extensive knowledge.
Its complexity and solidity were unmatched among the barriers she had seen so far.
The situation was the worst.
Even other professors, including Professor Ariel, who is said to be a pioneer in magic formula research, couldn’t touch it.
As time passed, Sia couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Because her best friend, Wendy, was trapped there.
If it was Shia at the beginning of admission, she might have been in a situation where she would have been happy.
Because she was jealous of Wendy because she was deprived of the senior position for the first time in her life.
But Wendy was a sweet child. He had a kind heart enough to protect Sia who wielded a cane without hesitation.
To the extent that I felt like an idiot for being jealous of such a child.
‘Wait. I will definitely save you at any cost…”
Before it’s too late, Sia decided to seek help from her father, Odell.
If you mobilize the connections of Odell, the Chancellor of the Empire, you might be able to bring in excellent royal mages. If it were them, they would overcome this situation somehow.
By the way… Shia’s promise was put to shame, and the barrier burned.
My head seemed to go blank.
Faculty members shouting to evacuate and students running away in a hurry.
Shia, who was staring at the flames in the midst of the confusion, witnessed an unbelievable sight.
A man coming out of the flames. And the girl who lost her mind in his arms.
Recalling that moment, Shia was moved to tears for no reason.
“really… . Is your body okay now?”
“Yes. hundred… . No, the director called the therapist, so I was completely healed. lol… .”
“thank god… . I’m so glad… .”
After confirming their safety, the two headed to a seat in the corner of the lecture hall.
The girl who had buried her face there lifted her face at the sight.
“ah… . It’s been a while. Wendy.”
“Miss Luna… ? Are you okay?”
“Eww… . I couldn’t sleep last night… .”
Luna stretched and said.
Her appearance, with thick dark circles in her eyes, was a complete resemblance to Wendy’s, who had stayed up all night studying for an exam not too long ago.
“Oh, I remembered that it was last night… .”
At that time, Sia opened her mouth as if she had suddenly remembered.
“Last night, the chairman of the board must have had an audience with His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Yeah… ?!”
Wendy raised her head startled.
“Hey, are you the chairman?”
“Yes. This is a secret, but my father told me about it after returning from the imperial palace late last night.”
Shia sneakily confirmed that no one was listening and opened her mouth.
“… It is said that the chairman met His Majesty alone.”
“I’m single… ?”
“It seems that His Majesty recognized the chairman as a member of Chilsung.”
Wendy, an ordinary person, did not know the details, but at least she knew that being able to talk with the emperor alone was a huge privilege.
“… Isn’t that great?”
“Everything is great. I can’t even guess what the chairman of the board said to coax His Majesty.”
“It can’t be. They said it was just a pity, so they looked at it specially.”
“Yes… ?”
It was Luna who said that.
Realizing that she had said something that she couldn’t understand, Luna hurriedly waved her hand.
“ah? Ah, no, it’s not that it’s true, I just heard something… .”
“You heard?”
“Ah, our family also has some connections in the imperial family… . Ahahahahaha… .”
Luna laughed awkwardly.
Luna, like Wendy, was one of the students who hid her family name.
Perhaps, as she said, it might be a family that is also related to the imperial family. Having understood that, Sia whispered again as if bringing up a serious topic.
“It remains to be seen, but there may be a change in the relationship between the Ruelberta family and the imperial family. perhaps-.”
drooling.
At that time, the front door of the classroom opened and it was Professor Ariel Leishette.
The crackling sound of high heels echoed through the classroom.
“Attention everyone.”
The students looked at her with puzzled faces.
Today’s first lesson is history and records of magic. In other words, it wasn’t Ariel’s class.
“I have one message for you. In fact, the results of the midterm exam that you all took the other day have come out.”
The students in the classroom were swaying.
“From now on, students whose names are being called, please come out and get your report card.”
“professor!”
It was a strong-looking schoolgirl who raised her hand towards Ariel.
It was Rachel, the self-proclaimed rival of Shia.
she asked in a clear voice.
“Who is the first in the test?”
That was something that not only Rachel but all the freshmen here were curious about.
Like any other university, if you get excellent grades at Meikahel University, your chances of receiving a scholarship next semester also increase.
In particular, the first-place students will be listed on the school bulletin board, so that many people can see them.
This had a great influence on them when they graduated from school later and chose their career path.
It was an opportunity for their names to be remembered by the influential aristocratic families of the imperial family and the empire.
Knowing that, Ariel smiled at Rachel’s question and said,
“like. It’s a fact that everyone will know anyway, so I’ll let you know.”
The students all perked up their ears.
Wendy’s heart tightened, waiting for the words to come out of her mouth.
“First place… .”

“Whoa… .”
I was bending and straightening my arms while standing in the chairperson’s office.
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
I’ve gotten used to working out in the office because I’ve been busy lately.
After losing weight, I started to gain a lot of muscle.
The more I exercised, the more greedy I became.
The desire to make this indolent body even more perfect.
It’s still great, but my goal is still there. It would be nice if there was even a protein.
“Is this a gift from the emperor?”
At Helga’s question, I raised my head while standing on my hands.
What she was looking at was a small crystal box.
And inside it was a piece of black cloth made of translucent material.
“Gloves… Are you?”
“yes. These are the gloves the emperor used.”
It’s a pretty funny look.
That box made of crystal is probably more expensive than the gloves.
Even so, there was only one reason why I kept those gloves so dearly.
“I decided to make it an heirloom.”
“Yes?? Is this…?”
Helga asked with an incomprehensible expression.
I also agree with her thoughts.
You might want to keep something like this as an heirloom.
Still, a promise is a promise.
You’d better pretend to keep it as an heirloom.
“Hmm. indeed… . I guess so.”
Helga looked back and forth between the gloves and me with a subtle expression.
Then she murmured softly, as if she had found something.
“this… . It’s gone again.”
There was a thread on Helga’s stocking that had been rubbed somewhere.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Helga threw herself on the sofa in the office and then struggled to get off her boots.
I clicked my tongue at the frivolous appearance of her with the bottom of her skirt turned upside down.
“Hello. Be a little more discreet.”
“Cook cook… . Do not worry. I will only show this to the Count.”
“It’s not that kind of problem.”
Helga laughed and threw off her boots.
Then he put his hand on his thigh and said as he was about to pull down his stocking.
“… If it’s the Count, can I see it?”
“I don’t see.”
“tooth… .”
Helga pouted and took off her loose stockings.
She changed into extra stockings and said quietly.
“… Come to think of it, I ended up wearing these stockings because I didn’t want to show the scars to the Count… . It seems to be the opposite now.”
“the opposite?”
“Yes. just… . I wanted to show it only to the Count. my bare legs. So now I wear stockings like this because I don’t want to show it to others.”
indeed… .
I wondered why she still wears black stockings… .
Perhaps because Helga is confident in her legs, she prefers to wear clothes that emphasize her beautiful legs.
As she said, he was wearing an army coat, so he usually covered his legs, but when he was alone like this, he often showed a defenseless appearance.
I said, bending and straightening my arms.
“By the way… . If you don’t want to show it to others, why don’t you just wear pants?”
“Sorry, but I never wear manly clothes like pants. and Count. A woman’s heart is a complicated thing. whoop whoop… .”
It’s not that complex, I don’t know at all.
I think I’ve become a father pointing out the length of my skirt to my teenage daughter, so I just decided to keep my mouth shut.
Helga, who had changed into new stockings, said, crossing her slender legs before putting on her boots.
“braided-! This is my full form!”
However, I found her face more attractive than her legs, giggling like a mischievous girl.
“Ahh. I’m so sad that the Count hasn’t responded. I will go to the bathroom and cry.”
Helga, wearing even her boots, rose from the couch pretending to cry. I called her as she was about to leave the door.
“Stand there.”
“… Yes?”
I stopped my handstand and got up from my seat.
“Hello.”
“Yes, yes… to?”
Wiping the sweat from his upper body with a towel, he said to her.
“Did you know I didn’t know?”
“What are you talking about… ?”
Helga tilted her head.
I couldn’t help but admire her acting skills.
“I’m going to throw off the pretense.”
I picked up the crystal box on the desk.
And gave it to Helga.
“Open it.”
“Yes? Why? Why did I open it earlier… .”
“Open.”
“… … .”
Under my pressure, Helga finally opened the crystal box.
I held up the piece of black cloth inside and said.
“Tell me what it is.”
What was in my hand was Helga’s stockings, not the emperor’s gloves.
“Uh, um… . The Count is also… . What I was wearing… .”
Helga blushed in embarrassment and avoided my gaze.
I sighed at the shameless look.
“Don’t change it arbitrarily.”
“Ahahahahaha… . If you would consider mine as an heirloom… .”
“Hello.”
“Yes, yes… ? why, why do you Count… ?”
He tossed the stocking to the sweaty Helga and commanded.
“You are banned from skirts for the next week.”
Now that this happened, it was a punishment that I had to wear only pants for a while.
But Helga shouted with a strange face that seemed both happy and ashamed.
“Yes?! Are you telling me not to wear anything underneath?! Such shamelessness… No, suddenly such a reward… ?!”
not. It’s a f*cking head.
He really make it his heirloom. And the fact Helga replace it with her stocking lol.
