No matter how you look at it, it only looks like Carsion was making excuses after knocking out Fior.
However, Fior’s body didn’t seem to have any injuries or damage.
Crucially, even though Carsion argued with Fior, he always ended up messing up the club room, and he never actually caused any injuries.
I looked at Fior, who was lying like a corpse on the floor with a confused expression, then moved my gaze to Carsion and opened my mouth.
“Then let’s quickly put him down on the sofa or wake him up. “It looks like a corpse because it’s on the floor like that.”
“If you think so, of course I should.”
Carsion approached Fior, who was lying motionless, placed his hand on his forehead, and created a magic circle.
The sound of the magic circle being activated is heard.
Why are you casting a spell to wake the child up?
“Kaon. “What are you doing now?”
“Fior seemed tired, so I cast a spell to increase his energy.”
Carsion turned to me and explained the reason for activating the magic circle with a harmless look.
Well then. Carsion was not a person who would hurt anyone.
“Wow!”
Not long after, Fior jumped up, wrapping his hands around his neck.
“Did you sleep well, Fior?”
“Carsion this mi… … !”
“Shh. Some people may be listening, so don’t swear as soon as you wake up. “I asked you if you had a good night’s sleep, Fior.”
Fior’s face froze in shock at Carsion’s soft tone, and then he glanced at me standing at a distance in front of the door.
“… … also.”
Then, he made eye contact with Carsion again and let out a deep sigh.
“ha.”
Fior stood up holding Carsion’s outstretched hand, walked a few steps unsteadily, and flopped down on the sofa that was my home.
- I lost my seat.
“Lien, when did you come?”
He asked, ruffling my hair. I came to my senses at Fior’s question, so I looked at it for a moment and opened my mouth.
“just now.”
At my answer, Fior looks at Carsion with a victorious expression. It was a face that told me to say something.
Sure, here’s the translation:
“I don’t think I can avoid getting scolded by Carsion today because I have been late for several days in a row.”
“Is something bad happening these days, Lien?”
However, rather than getting angry at me, Carsion asked me in a voice full of worry.
To this, Fior said with a resigned expression, ‘Of course. ‘What could I expect from you?’ he mutters softly.
Carsion seems to think that I will like him if he discriminates between Fior and me so openly, but that is a huge mistake.
Oh yeah.
I lightly shrugged my shoulders.
“It’s nothing special, I’m a little late because I had to provisionally grade the test I took today. Sorry.”
“iced coffee. Accounting exam? “It seemed so easy that I didn’t even need to grade it, but Lien is very meticulous.”
“… … .”
Those problems were easy?
right. Carsion was a wizard.
If you are able to use that difficult teleportation skill at a young age, you may be talented, but your brain is probably not very good.
Feeling resentful for some reason, I pursed my lips and looked at Fior with a hopeful face.
Fior said his major was swordsmanship, so he would understand me… …
“I know. “I didn’t understand why they were asking me to show them the test paper so that they could get something wrong on something so easy, but now that I think about it, a meticulous kid like Lien could do that.”
That’s my opinion.
Why was it only me when we played together? … ?
I realized it. After entering the academy, I really neglected my studies.
I was just making excuses, but as I started feeling more relaxed, my body also relaxed, so I guess I just naturally stopped studying.
Life at the academy was a lot more enjoyable than I thought.
It won’t work. Special measures must be taken.
“Guys.”
“Yes, Lien. “I was passing by the hallway earlier and saw some candy, so I impulsively bought it. Do you want to eat it?”
Carsion held a beautifully wrapped lollipop and laughed brightly while talking nonsense.
Who on earth is sitting in the academy hallway selling candy?
I lightly pushed aside the candy he held out and opened my mouth.
“I’m going to skip club for two weeks from today until the exam.”
Tuk.
It was the sound of the lollipop Carsion was holding falling helplessly and hitting the floor.
* * *
I feel burdened gaze.
I took my eyes off the book I was reading and looked up. Across from me was a familiar pink head.
After I declared that I would not participate in the club, it has been like this ever since. As if I were a motherbird, he kept following me wherever I went.
I sighed softly.
“Carsion.”
He opened his mouth with a sad expression on his face.
“Kaon.”
It’s tricky. There’s only a two-letter difference.
“Yes’’
Kaon. “Why are you here?”
“What are you doing? “I came here to study.”
Certainly, the place we are now is the academy’s library, and his answer was in line with the purpose of the library’s existence.
Just talk.
I pointed to the book Carsion was holding. The book he was holding was upside down.
“Why don’t you just hold the book correctly and say it right away?”
Even while I was in the library, the book never advanced to the next chapter.
I can almost memorize it at that level… …?
Carsion quietly checks the overturned text and lightly shrugs his shoulders.
“Sometimes I read it upside down.”
It was an extremely shameless answer. I thought he would at least look embarrassed.
“Don’t lie. “no one reads a book upside down.”
“I.”
He grinned and opened the book so that it was directly visible to me. Thanks to this, Carsion ended up looking at the book upside down.
“Mana is the power that is the source of all living things, and when the laws of nature are violated and that power is distorted, a monster is born. There are two main cases where mana deviates from the laws of nature… … .”
As if it wasn’t true that he sometimes reads upside down, he quickly read the book without hesitation.
“Shh, stop. “It’s a nuisance if you talk too loudly.”
I quickly covered his mouth with my hand and looked around.
In fact, free discussion was allowed in the Arena Academy library. But today it was strangely quiet, so I noticed it for no reason.
Fortunately, there were no people around where we sat, so no one was looking at us.
- Now that I think about it, something is really strange.
Carsion is there, so why is no one taking a glance at it?
Even if it wasn’t for him, I don’t even feel like he was looking at me normally.
Come to think of it, everyone in the library had their noses buried in books.
It feels like something big will happen if you take your eyes off the book.
Everyone is studying so hard that there is no time to worry about us… … !
I felt like I had to study quickly to avoid catching up.
I jumped up from my seat, leaving behind Carsion, who seemed to have stopped thinking due to the sudden skinship.
Now seemed like a good time to run away from him.
* * *
“Kaon.”
“Yes, Lien.”
I left Carsion in the library and ran away, but before I knew it, he was walking next to me.
I stopped walking and stared at him. When his eyes meet mine, he closes his eyes and chuckles.
“Can you stop chasing me now and go do your own thing?”
“… … “Are you no longer needing me?”
Carsion widened his eyes and made a shocked face.
Anyone who sees it will think that I used him to my heart’s content and then threw him away.
“If there’s a problem I don’t know about, I’ll do my best to let you know, Lien.”
“… … “That’s good.”
But it wasn’t good to hang out together like this.
It only adds credibility to the rumor that Carsion likes me.
Even so, it was a difficult situation as rumors spread even more these days.
It certainly wasn’t to this extent when I told Carsion about the rumor.
It wasn’t… … .
For some reason, it felt like after I told him about the rumor, it started to spread in earnest.
It was as if Carsion had decided to spread the rumor.
Of course, that may not really be the case. Aside from me, it would be a harm to Carsion himself.
There is nothing to gain from spreading such a rumor, right?
Anyway, because of the rumors that had spread throughout the academy, people were busy staring and whispering wherever I appeared.
Sometimes, like Malgam, there were people who asked if the rumors were true.
I answered that with a rotten expression.
Oh, I’m tired.
I don’t know if the Duke or Duchess of Lisianthus will come to visit me later.
Have you bewitched our family’s precious son?
I don’t like getting slapped. Should I prepare a bottle of water in front of them when we meet? … .
Oh, of course, you don’t want to get burned, so use cold water.
It is natural that when you see a water full of water when you are angry, you feel the urge to spray it. Wouldn’t it be difficult to resist that temptation?
“Lien?”
Carsion’s questioning voice finally brought me back to my senses.
The thoughts were too long.
I was worried about something that won’t happen.
I laughed and lightly tapped his stomach with my fist.
“Just make a cute face. “You’re clever.”
Then, I started to go my own way, not caring whether Carsion was chasing me or not.
Anyway, the place I’m going now is the women’s dormitory, and since it’s a female-dominated area, they won’t be able to chase me.
… … I thought so, but then it turned out that Carsion was an ex-convict who had already trespassed into Geumnam’s territory.
This crazy guy.
I looked at Carsion, who had followed me into the dorm room with a bewildered expression on his face.
“Why are you following me here? Even for me, what kind of a nuisance am I to my roommate? “It’s not a space I use alone like before.”
“then… … .”
“Not even if I have a room to myself.”
Carsion, who was about to say something, closed his mouth. Then he quietly looks at Jane in her dormitory.
“Are you rude?”
“no. “Could it be rude?”
Jane desperately shook her head to show that it wasn’t rude. He thought it was strange that he was shaking too much.
However, to think that those words were a lie did not fit Jane’s personality of not being defeated by anyone and expressing her opinion confidently.
It was around this time that I began to suspect that there was something going on between the two that I didn’t know about.
Carsion smiled brightly and turned his gaze from Jane to me.
“I said it wasn’t rude.”
… … It’s rude to me.
I finally grabbed the backpack I had set down. Then I sighed softly and grabbed the bottom of Carsion’s shirt.
He admitted defeat on my straightforward approach.
