64 – Crazy boy, become a hero?

A month has passed since the school trip incident occurred.

The time that passed like water flowed, and before I knew it, I was greeted with a new season called December.

The season passed the red autumn and entered the white winter.

The leaves that used to show off their colorful colors fall to the ground as the last leaves,

A cold wind blows through the empty tree branches.

Trees reveal their inner flesh, and animals go into deep sleep.

A quiet season that puts everything to rest.

A white winter has arrived.

“Huh… it’s cold…”

As usual, the morning heading to the academy to take classes.

I was walking towards the academy classroom with Ariel.

My body shivered because of the sudden cold weather.

I rubbed my frozen hands and breathed through them.

Damn, I didn’t expect it to be this cold.

It’s not for nothing that Rachel told me to wear a winter uniform.

I thought it would be okay until this month, so I just wore it as a fall school uniform…

“cold…..”

As I trembled and mumbled those words over and over again,

Ariel, who was walking beside me, looked up at me with a worried look.

“Are you okay…? Is it very cold?”

“Uggeuk, uggeuk, it’s okay, ah…”

Now it’s trembling up to my chin.

I’ll be thrilled

As I shuddered as if I had been electrocuted,

Ariel exhaled a shallow breath and removed the muffler that was wrapped around her neck.

Then he reached out and wrapped it around my neck.

“I’m doing this.”

Ariel’s warm scarf touches my cheek.

The warm warmth melts the frozen neck and cheeks.

I was startled by him and asked.

“What will you do if I give you this…?”

“I don’t get cold anyway. Have you forgotten what my specialty is?”

Ariel replied, making ice crystals from her hand.

“When ice magic reaches a certain level, you won’t feel the cold.”

“Oh, that’s the first time I’ve heard of that.”

I felt a little strange at Ariel’s words and rubbed my chin.

Ice wizards don’t get cold…

It feels like a fire mage doesn’t get burned by fire.

As I pondered for a moment, fiddling with the scarf around my neck,

Ariel puffed up her cheeks and poked me in the side.

“So, why did you insist on the fall uniform? I heard that Rachel provided a winter uniform in the morning?”

“Ummm, that’s… I thought it wouldn’t be that cold until this month…”

“From now on, just listen to Rachel…”

“Yes….”

While I was having a conversation with Ariel,

A familiar voice came from behind.

“Woohyo! I found a fool!”

A frivolous tone of voice, a light tone of voice.

And the crazy guy who proudly calls me ‘sh*t’.

As far as I know, there is only one person like that in the academy, no, in the world.

“Golden Sun.”

Looking back, I see a bully with chocolate skin and blonde hair.

It is very frivolous to see him approaching while waving his arms.

“Woohyo! Today is also a strong and strong morning!”

Geumtaeyang greeted with a chewy tone.

I looked at him with tired eyes and said.

“…Can’t you say hello a little more normally?”

“Ah? Kissama, are you arguing with my tone?”

“……”

yeah, sh*t what am i going to talk to you about

As I let out a deep sigh and shook my head,

Ariel, who was standing behind me, stuck her head out and looked at the golden sun.

“Brother… friend…?”

“Huh…? Who are you?”

Golden Sun, who discovered Ariel belatedly, tilted his head at the face he was seeing for the first time.

Then, as if he remembered something, he patted his knee.

“Aha, it’s you! That little sister that idiots often talk about!”

“Do you know me…?”

“I’ve heard a lot about it! This brash kid, every time he trains, his younger brother is cute… What can I do…”

“yes…?”

Ariel was dumbfounded for a while at Golden Sun’s words,

Immediately, his face turned red and he pinched my back.

“Why are you saying that to other people…!”

“Isn’t that the only thing? Some say it looks like an angel… Some say it looks like a cat…”

“Aww…!!”

Ariel’s face turned into a ripe tomato.

It was quite embarrassing.

Looking at Ariel like that, there was only one thing I could say.

“I’m not guilty. I only spoke the truth.”

“aaa! Oppa really!!”

Ariel, who started to become even more enraged at my words, mercilessly pinched my back skin.

Of course it didn’t hurt.

The magician’s hand, which has no strength stat, has no applily.

It’s your loss, kid.

.

.

.

Like that, Ariel, who had been pinching my back for a while, parted ways with us to go to Hall 1,

Only the two left, Taeyang Geum and I moved toward the second hall.

I walk on the sidewalk in the chilly weather,

I fiddled with the scarf that Ariel had wrapped around me.

Ariel…. Looking at it earlier, she looks like she’s really pissed off. Are you okay?

Hmmm, if I stroke it a little, it will loosen up…?

While I was lost in thought about Ariel, who disappeared with her mouth open for a while,

“Oh, right. Did you see this?”

Golden Sun, who was walking next to me, took something out of his pocket and waved it in front of my eyes.

What he held in his hand were bundles of gray paper.

“What is it?”

“About the school trip raid at that time. Those are the newspaper articles that were published.”

I asked, tilting my head at those words.

“Hasn’t it been a while since it was published? I think it was published about two weeks ago.”

“That’s right. But at that time, there was only ‘there was a raid’ without any specific story, right?”

“Are you saying there was a detailed article this time?”

“answer.”

Well, it’s time that the case was all sorted out and the newspapers with only the correct facts came out.

“Hmm, give it to me somewhere.”

“Now, here. Read the fifth chapter.”

I took the paper and began to read it slowly.

Certainly, there were more details than the articles I saw a few weeks ago.

But something is strange…?

[The eldest son of the Duke of Lysit, Leiden Lissit. Rescue the students from the raid incident…!]

[As it turns out, it turns out that he was also the one who stopped the last attack…]

[The appearance of a new hero…]

What.

what is this

No, it’s all right, but…

something strange…

“How is it? Don’t you think the knight is strangely friendly?”

“No, it’s not weird, it’s definitely friendly.”

I replied and closed my eyes.

what? Did the newspaper reporters eat something wrong?

All of a sudden, the guys who used to rant whenever Raiden did something crazy suddenly read an article like this…?

It seems to me that there is a strange way to put it up there….

Let me put some nasty question marks over my head,

Geum Taeyang, who handed over the newspaper, said with a genuine smile.

“From what I’ve heard, the academy seems to have put some pressure on it.”

“At the academy…?”

I’m reading the newspaper, why is the academy suddenly appearing?

At Geum Taeyang’s sudden words, I looked at him with a puzzled look in my eyes.

He shrugged his shoulders and continued his explanation.

“You know, there were two major incidents in a short period of about three months, right?”

“Banquet hall attack and school trip raid…”

“Yes, those two. The scale of those two incidents was enormous, right?”

In the first case, there was an attempt to assassinate the imperial princesses and saints.

In the second incident, one of the academy’s faculty members was killed.

This is what happened in just two months at Reynolds Academy, which is said to be the best academy in the empire.

“Since the situation is like this, noise is starting to come out. In Reynolds Academy, which is called the best academy in the empire, large-scale incidents are popping up.”

“Well, it must be weirder that there is no noise.”

“Is not it?”

When I responded, Taeyang smiled and continued talking.

“If so! How would the academy try to deal with this situation?”

“Hmm…”

I pondered the question for a moment.

How did Academy and Coron try to deal with this incident?

It is not an option to cover the case once.

There were too many witnesses, and it wasn’t an incident that could be covered up in the first place.

If so, admit everything and apologize to the public?

…..No, not even this.

This option has too much to lose. It would quickly destroy the reputation of Reynolds Academy.

There’s no way Khorne would make such a stupid choice.

Then the remaining options are…

“It must be to divert attention from that incident.”

To be precise, by making me a ‘hero’ who solved the case,

So that people can focus on the keyword ‘birth of a hero’ rather than the keyword ‘raid’.

“So, by focusing the topic on me, you were trying to diffuse the criticism a bit.”

“Bingo~! Are you using your hair?”

Geumtaeyang gave me a big bang with his finger,

He opened the newspaper in his hand.

[The crazy Confucius, save the academy!]

[A scion who has shed the skin of a fool…]

[Leiden Lissit, the eldest son of the Lissit family…]

He pointed to the section where articles about me were written, and continued his explanation.

“See? In this option, you are the most efficient.”

You who are widely known as an idiot saved the students, right?

In that respect, you can also secure unexpectedness.

Are you sure about the name value?

After all, you are one of the most famous nobles in the Empire.

It’s perfect for grabbing people’s attention.

Plus, since you’re known for not responding much to public opinion or newspaper articles,

It would have been easier for the academy to put you forward.

“Hmm…..”

I listened to the words of the golden sun for a while and rubbed my chin.

No, so the conclusion is,

“So the conclusion is…”

“That’s right, you’ve been taken advantage of.”

f*ck this.

Somehow, Khorne gave the wish ticket too easily.

“Well, the words were used, in fact, they are not helpful to you either?

“No… that’s true.”

something is unpleasant

I feel like I didn’t wash my hands after I went to the bathroom.

“Let’s think positively? For now, the results are good.”

“Hmm…..”

“Actually, you say that public opinion has reversed a lot in the academy right now? It seems that the image of an idiot you’ve been holding on to is being erased.”

that’s normal

I’ve saved them twice, but if they’re still peeling pumpkin seeds from behind, are they people?

They’re just devils.

I bit my lip in the irritation that was rising for no reason.

“Oh, that’s been too long. Let’s start class.”

“Whoa… I don’t like something.”

“Ah, put it in, put it in. For now, class first? Next week is the final exam.”

“Right, damn it. There was a final exam.”

All of a sudden, the feeling of uneasiness became worse.

.

When Raiden entered the lecture with a look of poop on his face,

A small alarm jingled in his status window, which had been muted.

ㅡTitling!

[Admin, a message from Tees has arrived!]

{Tees}: Hey, are you there? (09:26)

{Tees}: Hey? (09:30)

One alarm rang, followed by several more alarms,

Raiden, engrossed in the lecture, did not find the alarm.

ㅡTitling!

[Admin, a message from Tees has arrived!]

{Tice} : Hmm… Seeing that you don’t check the status window, you must be very busy. (09:42)

{Tice}: Please contact me when you confirm. don’t wait (09:42)

{Tys}: -From the Absolute God, Tinamius. (09:43)
