Episode 130

Didn’t even walk long.

From the main auditorium to the fountain in front of the main building. If you walk along Jungang-daero, it’s only about 1 minute.

“Shall we sit down?”

“here?”

“Stay still.”

shoot it!

The place where Hira brought me was an ordinary bench by the fountain.

Sitting side by side with a distance of just one palm, Hira silently gazed at the gushing fountain.

stay still

“Oh, look over there.”

“Wow, that person only heard about… … .”

“Can I see you every day?”

“Hello, Lord Rockstrin!”

“Ugh.”

I wondered if they had prepared something special, but that wasn’t the case either.

Occasionally, new students would respond, or familiar faces from the same sophomores would talk to them. That was it.

“Who is the person next to you?”

“She said it was Lady Yuxilla.”

“Aha. I again!”

Although there was no chance to experience it separately, everyone now admits that Aindarok and Yuxilla have a close relationship.

Sitting like this was no problem. It’s because the stepsisters are sitting next to each other.

“… … Hira?”

After sitting there without saying anything for about ten minutes, the back of my head feels itchy without knowing why.

I told him to stay still, but I wonder if this is right, I finally spoke up.

“9 minutes and 27 seconds.”

Hira, who was tiptoeing, replied with a sigh. I thought I had made some mistake.

“9 minutes and 27 seconds?”

“Time for Rocks to rest quietly. Less than 10 minutes.”

It was a bitter laugh.

“Are you anxious?”

“Because I’m not doing anything… … .”

“It’s not that I didn’t do anything. It’s because Rox isn’t doing anything. The back of the head is itchy, restless. Yes?”

“Um… … .”

I was stabbed in the middle.

I couldn’t deny it because it stabbed me precisely. I wonder if it was too much to hit something that tickled the back of the head.

“When people feel uncomfortable or difficult because of something, they want to make up for it with something else.”

In short, it is a person called compensation psychology.

“If you eat something tasteless, next time you have to eat something delicious. If you study hard during the exam period, you spread out and play after the exam is over.”

“Of course.”

“Yes, it is natural, so there is no need to question it. But no matter how you look at it.”

Hira tilted her head towards me. Her scarlet bobbed hair swayed. It is the eyes that show a sad expression.

“The Rocks don’t have that.”

“is it?”

“It is different from not being greedy. I’m sorry to say this. I feel like I have to do it.”

pop.

The gushing water stopped.

“I think it’s broken.”

“I think I am solving it on my own… … . Ouch!”

Without warning, the pinched forearm was taken out in surprise. I didn’t pinch it lightly, but pinched it with all my might. It really hurts.

“Are you sick?”

“what are you doing. Of course it hurts.”

“This is the ‘natural’ thing. If it touches the fire, it is startled and withdraws its hand. because it hurts I am talking about a serious matter.”

Know.

I was just trying to ignore it.

“Rox, why don’t you eat ramen?”

“… … .”

How can you ask such a sharp question? Hira seems to know me better than I do.

Yes, what I had been feeling subtly from before had gotten worse.

‘It’s less spicy than the one I made last time.’

‘Yes? Ah, maybe it’s because it’s for two people. Would you like some extra hot sauce?’

After the magic core theft incident, when I ate ramen with Euril at the truth party.

At first, I thought Oliver had made a mistake. My older sister told me that I like spicy things.

It’s not funny when you think about it.

He is the head chef who has been in charge of cooking at each Jinri-dang place. There was no way I could have made such a mistake.

“It doesn’t taste good.”

– It wasn’t spicy.

Even if I put a few peperoncino in, it wasn’t spicy. Even if I chewed it raw, the tip of my tongue only tickled.

“It has a taste. Rocks is not particularly picky, but all the students enjoy it.”

Since returning from Mashu, I have rarely eaten with the members. After eating just once, it was like that.

Yes, when we share a meal, there is always a conversation about how this tastes like this or that.

whatever i eat

“okay. As you said.”

It doesn’t taste like anything.

“It must be broken.”

Even the point that it seemed to be broken was sharp enough to give goosebumps.

My tongue is broken.

“No matter how great the hero who defeated the demon king is, what will happen if he has a constitution that doesn’t feel the heat?”

“It will be dangerous.”

“It’s ridiculous. Would you die if the embers from the fireplace caught on to the carpet while you were sleeping?”

I couldn’t help but smile when I laughed and said, “I can’t believe it will go that far.”

It was quite stressful for me to deliberately stay away from a child who I had been getting along with so far.

It’s predictable that Vector and Tania are targeting Ainim, but if they start targeting the other members in earnest, things become several times more complicated.

Therefore I… … .

“You can rest, Rox.”

shoot it

The fountain gushed again.

There are so many people that the wide campus looks cramped. never lost a smile

It was a peaceful day.

“Even if you ask me to leave it to you, not even the seeds will be eaten. The Rocks don’t believe me.”

“Believe and worry are two different things.”

“Then please use me as actively as possible.”

I turned my head and our eyes met.

“Because I promised.”

The old look was reflected in the wide smile on his face.

At that time, Hira had said so.

‘I’ll make a plan.’

I never imagined that an uncertain variable called Hira Yuxilla would be incorporated into the plan.

“I’ll take half of Rocks’ burden. So you can rest. That is what I want.”

“What am I even doing?”

To be honest, I still don’t know.

Is it just because of the stupid face? Can you be so devoted with just that?

Hira answered straight away, as if he had prepared it in advance.

“Huh, ask something obvious. me who has nothing.”

I think I heard a similar answer a while ago.

“… … I made it like this because it’s Rocks.”

Of course, I probably didn’t mean it that way, but hearing these words over and over again gives me hope in the subtle tone.

maybe i

that I might be forgiven.

“Rox is sleeping on the desk.”

“Hey, this is precious… … .”

“Shall I take a picture?”

“Wait a minute, here we are!”

not sleeping

The warm weather made me feel drowsy, so I just laid face down on my desk for about 10 minutes.

It seems like everyone knows I’m asleep. As I stayed still, something like a blanket covered my shoulders. Ai-nim must have put the video recorder in the locker.

“How about teaching?”

“I think everyone learns well. There are no students particularly lagging behind.”

“My classmates don’t talk very well, so I don’t know if they are doing well. So every day I take a little test.”

“Wouldn’t that be too much pressure… … .”

“You use one magic and you don’t score points? There is only pass or fail.”

“What about disqualification?”

“It’s natural to leave it until you pass.”

We express our deepest condolences to the refugees assigned to Ainim’s class.

It seems like they’re pushing too hard, but I think they’re doing well because it won’t change even if the princess teaches them and lets them go anyway.

“How is Rocks class? Since it’s the class next to you, Frid knows it well, right?”

“Everyone seems to be getting along well. It was a strange way to sit on the floor. Sir Lockstryn sits with me for the most part.”

“You shouldn’t climb too high. Rocks is Aindar Locke.”

“Haha, aren’t there a lot of kids?”

While the class I am in charge of among the freshmen is based on the entrance grade standard, the class I am in charge of among the refugees is crowded with children around 10 years of age.

In order to teach such children, I have to make it easier to understand than textbooks, but it was difficult for me to lower my eyes to that level.

at that time.

“Are you there?”

“There is!”

smart.

Someone politely knocked on the stale door. Ramyu, who jumped up, opened the door wide.

“Are you my classmate?”

“you… … .”

“What are you here for? This is a very scary place. Did you see the nameplate? Is my name there too?”

“I called.”

I raised my head and said. It was because he thought that if he left Ramyu alone, Jerome, who had a quiet personality, would not be able to say a word.

“Yeah, what happened to me… … ?”

A mysterious boy with blue hair covering half of his eyes. Jerome.

This guy’s magic is very special. Enough to be the main character. In particular, it is safe to say that he is almost best friends with Frid, who is from the same background.

I said straight forward.

“Come on. To put it bluntly, I am interested in you.”

A moment of silence passed.

“uh… … . Yes?”

Jerome asked in silence.

The door that was wide open took a half step back.

“I don’t think Rocks… … ?”

“So far… … ?”

“No, magic. I’m talking about magic talent. Because your magic is special.”

“Everything, I’m glad.”

Afterwards, Frid, whose shoulders shuddered, let out a sigh of relief. I almost had a terrible misunderstanding.

“Would you like to try it on the playground? You can use magic here.”

Jerome nodded and cast a spell. Even if it’s not an imagination theory, this guy’s magic has no spells.

Like the light attribute, magic that deviated from the four major attributes. Compared to the light attribute that even has a system, Jerome has no system at all because he is alone.

“Wow!”

“what? How did you do it?”

“How amazing.”

growth.

A flower suddenly grew and bloomed on a playground with nothing but sand.

If the environment is more suitable, it is possible to make a tree grow in an instant.

“As you can see, he’s such a guy. I kept an eye on him because his magic power was unusual while walking around.”

“Department of Technology… … . What are you doing here? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”

“Ughh, what a great place!”

Ramyu smiled a sinister smile beyond a meaningful one. Everyone who came was chased away.

“Would you like to come in for a second?”

secret union.

Only me and Hira knew the proper meaning, but I explained to the members what would happen to the child in the future and the fact that we had to respond to it.

And if that’s the case, ‘means unimaginable to others’ are in an overwhelmingly advantageous position.

No one knows how to use growth magic other than Jerome, and no one knows how much power it has, thanks to the prudent Jerome who has lived his life hiding close to 90% of his ability.

“So, on the surface, it’s a technical department, and in reality it teaches imagination theory, but it goes further to protect Her Highness… … ?”

“It feels like that.”

It has become a complicated place in many ways.

Will do more in the future

“Thank you for the offer, but I don’t think it’s a place I would carelessly fit in.”

“okay?”

I expected that.

Not necessarily Jerome, but anyone. Unless you’re a strange guy like Lamyu, it’s only natural that you feel burdened when asked to enter such an absurd place.

Rongrt, Aindarok, and Yuxilla. The moment you see the nameplate with these three families side by side, a commoner like Jerome stiffens.

You would think it would be a scary place.

“I can’t help it. Freed.”

“Yes.”

And it’s actually a scary place.

“I’m just… … ?”

clap.

Jerome turned around and saw a tightly closed door and a sturdy figure standing in front of it.

“I never gave you a veto.”

“Yes… … ?”

“Sign it.”

In front of Jerome, who had been pushed by Frid and sat down on the sofa, Hira quietly held out a piece of paper.

[Application form]

“You are forced to sign up.”
