by fnovelpiaEl and I visited several buildings at the academy.
“This is a restaurant. The sandwich I ate earlier is also sold here.”
“This is a classroom exclusively for golden dragons. Silver Eagle and Bronze Crow classes have to move from class to class, but for ours, professors come in one after another. It’s a kind of privilege.”
“I will tell you the location of the dormitory when I drop you off at the end… Do you have any questions?”
It’s a place I’m curious about. To be honest, there wasn’t much that came to mind. I thought about just taking classes and living in the dormitory.
As I was speechless and lost in thought, L tapped my shoulder.
“How did our junior get here?”
“···Yes?”
L spread his palms out as if he wasn’t trying to talk about a serious topic.
“I’m not specifically trying to interrogate you or anything like that. If you joined the Golden Dragon, wouldn’t you be hitting on our juniors too?”
Swish. L looked at me while pretending to throw a fist.
“···Then what did you come in with?”
“I can see you showing off that you don’t want to talk about it. It seems that our juniors need training to hide their true feelings.”
Huh. Before I could refute anything, El turned her palms toward the sky and closed her eyes.
As El closed her eyes and concentrated, pure white energy slowly flowed from her palm.
“My specialty is ‘purification’. It can defeat curses and detoxify many poisons.”
You can poison it. I was interested in that part, but it ended there. Revan couldn’t think of how purification would help in battle.
“···Um.”
“Your reaction is subtle, my junior. By any chance, do you think that my purification is not very helpful in battle?”
“To be honest, yes.”
“Well, I understand. When you think of purification, it is natural to think of priests wearing white cloths over their heads.”
El stopped walking forward and turned to face me.
“But from what I have lived so far, the type of ability is not that important. The key is how well it is handled and how strong the user is.”
L’s voice spoke firmly, and there was strong confidence in it. For the first time, I felt like a real senior.
“What I heard is also true. I’m sorry if you felt bad.”
“···No. I also inadvertently lost heat.”
Before we knew it, we were standing still, facing each other.
L also seemed to want to see what he had done. It was an atmosphere in which it was not easy to refuse. Well, I wonder if there is much benefit in hiding it.
I put my hand into the inside pocket of my coat, took out the dagger I was carrying, and rolled up my sleeves to expose my forearm.
“Oh, I’m finally going to show you- eh? Junior?!”
And he slashed his forearm with the dagger he had drawn out. Not too deep, but moderately.
Emotions appeared on L’s always calm face. It was quite a pleasant feeling to watch the face of someone who had always been expressionless fluctuate.
“Are you crazy?! Go to the public health center immediately…?”
Not long after, El’s fluttering stopped. Because I saw what was happening in my forearm.
“This is my talent. Well, there are many other minor techniques, but the basics are like this.”
The wound inflicted by the dagger soon disappeared as if evaporating. It didn’t look that good.
One of them inadvertently got angry and made an absurd speech, and the other suddenly committed self-harm. They were two very unsociable people.
‘···Did you make a little fuss?’
Thanks to this, the atmosphere, which had been quite friendly until just a moment ago, changed subtly.
“······.”
“······.”
So the two stood facing each other in the middle of the classroom hallway.
ha. Revan wondered how to relieve this mood.
But fortunately, someone appeared to relieve this delicate atmosphere.
“There! You!”
“······?”
A brown-haired girl he had never seen ran towards Revan. Although he wasn’t that big, he walked with a strong thud, step by step, as if he wanted to intimidate him.
“···What is this?”
“Hmm, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to know.”
El looked at this scenery and opened her mouth.
“This child’s name is Benny. The only commoner in the academy… What is your status as a junior?”
“I am a commoner.”
“Me too. In that case, all of the only three commoners in the academy are gathered here now. It’s so mysterious.”
“Don’t act friendly L!”
The woman in front named Benny shot El coldly. Then he turned his head again and pointed at me with his index finger.
“That golden dragon badge!”
“What is that?”
“Ha, the liver also came out of the boat! How dare you impersonate the Golden Dragon? My name is Benny! As a member of the student council, I will guide you!”
“···What nonsense?”
I failed to control my facial expression when I suddenly heard bullshit. My face crumpled.
“Benny, Revan is not an impersonator. Look at this badge. Isn’t it too delicate to be copied?”
“Ha! What a pretense! I know everything!”
Benny, the woman who shouted in front of me, took out a small wando from her inner pocket and held it towards me.
“I knew at least that a transfer student was coming today! Because I’m a student council officer!”
“Then why are you doing this?”
“My lady decided to guide that transfer student!”
“You mean Sonia?”
“Could you please stop calling our lady as if she were a friend?!”
“Well, according to Revan, he met the guide and then broke up for some reason. Revan, by any chance is that guide’s impression-,…Revan?”
From El’s perspective, Revan’s condition seemed somewhat unstable.
also. That name came up again. The name Revan didn’t want to remember.
“And L, don’t act like you’re friendly with me either. You know that? Because there are no kids who like things like you anywhere in the academy!”
“Confession is quite, no. I received a lot.”
“Ha, that’s about the beginning of the semester when I didn’t know what kind of person you were! It’s not like that now, right?”
“Ah, perhaps because of my reputation, there have been more male students calling me to remote places. Well, I rejected them all.”
“You keep talking back? You know what your status is, right? Dirty bitch!”
A fairly high level of criticism was directed at L. There was no sign of any sign of agitation on L’s face as he heard those words in front of him.
But Revan was getting annoyed. It was a day with too many things to pay attention to. I didn’t like the girl’s name or the tinkling Benny.
“Hey.”
“What?! Can’t you see what we’re talking about?! I’m being quiet-”
“Shut up.”
“What?! What are you saying now?
Benny, who heard Revan’s swear words, tried to answer. But Benny couldn’t move.
“Profit, Profit-”
When the purple eyes behind the gas mask lens met his own, Benny’s entire body, including his mouth, became as hard as stone. It was an experience I had never experienced before.
“Senior, let’s go.”
“Um, yes.”
L and I left, leaving Benny standing in the middle of the hallway shaking.
“···I don’t know what happened to our junior, but he looks tired, so I’ll guide him to the dormitory.”
“Thank you.”
After that, we walked out without much conversation. After walking for a few minutes, a building appeared that looked fancy but gave a sense of stability.
“This is the male dormitory. The girls’ dormitory is located a little far away from here.”
“Thank you.”
L pointed to the front door in front of the dormitory.
“From here on, it is a forbidden area. Oh, the opposite is also the same. I believe my junior knows that even if she misses me so much, she shouldn’t just barge into the girls’ dormitory.”
It was L’s joke that I got used to in just one day. His face was obviously expressionless, but for some reason it seemed like he had a small smile on his face.
“Thank you.”
After receiving my thank you, El turned around, stopped, and asked me.
“Junior.”
“Yes?”
“You spoke quite harshly to Benny earlier. For me, I raised my voice from the beginning. Why?”
“Because the other person treated me unkindly first. There is no need to repay unkindness with kindness.”
“Then for me?”
“Senior, didn’t you speak louder from the beginning?”
I looked at El’s face after hearing my answer. His face was still expressionless, but he opened his mouth with a more smiley face than before.
“Our junior is right. Well then, I’ll just head back. Take a break and soothe your travel fatigue.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
So N waved his hand a few times and walked toward the girls’ dormitory.
And then I went into the boys’ dormitory. After handing over the key I had received in advance, a middle-aged woman guided me to my room.
My room wasn’t that spacious, but it was comfortable. And most of all, I liked the solitary confinement.
After going into the room, unpacking and getting dressed comfortably, I buried my face in the bed and closed my eyes.
A lot happened. I felt dizzy. Academy. miss. senior. A woman who trembles.
Immediately after that, a woman came into my mind. It was El. When I thought about the time I spent with L, I felt like my head was clearer than before.
“Ha.”
I took off my gas mask, lay down on the bed, and closed my eyes. It was relatively early, but I wanted to sleep.
***
thud! A brown-haired woman burst through the door. It was Benny, one of the three Academy commoners.
“Lady!”
“Uh, huh? Benny?”
“Is it true that you were rejected by the receptionist today?!”
“Ah. That’s-”
Before Sonia Bismuth could say anything to Benny, who rushed in, a red-haired woman intervened.
“Ah, Benny, you’re welcome. We were just talking about that.”
This is the student council of Geoff Academy. It was the center of the academy.
