geezer. What is a geek?

He may simply be a strange person, or perhaps it may be another qualifier for a genius.

There will definitely be differences in perception from person to person, and so did I.

And I decided to call the woman right in front of me who was staring at me a freak.

“Wow~ You really are a jerk!”

“… … .”

no… Maybe she’s not just a weirdo, she’s just a crazy bitch.

To see why I came face to face with this woman, I have to go back in time a little.

A Wednesday afternoon in the throes of ordinary, still undiminished malice.

In such peace, I worked hard on the wheels of my wheelchair and headed to the academy’s library.

It was to look for books related to hermeneutics, especially barrier magic.

There are two major prerequisites for solving the barrier magic handed down from ancient times.

The first is to perfectly interpret the magic itself, and the second is to be at a higher level than the person who used the magic.

‘what… Although it has become a consensus that the latter is almost meaningless.’

That’s not to say it’s completely wrong. In general, it was difficult to perfectly interpret the magic used by someone with a higher level of skill.

That’s why the discipline called hermeneutics was derived. To interpret magic at a higher level than one’s own.

Learning from people who are good at it was a common truth in any field.

Of course, the same was true for magic. Therefore, the study of hermeneutics once became popular among magicians.

Although its popularity has diminished only now, hermeneutics has become an essential study for wizards.

It was a subject taught naturally at the academy.

‘But it’s not even possible for me.’

I was able to learn from the 3rd grade, which is called the upper grades.

Moreover, the regular academy courses teach only the very basics of hermeneutics. To advance, one had to take elective lectures in the fourth year or become a student of a professional professor.

For me, it was all impossible.

Opening the barrier to the club room could be said to be the actual beginning of my goal.

No matter how important the start was, I couldn’t invest nearly two years of time into it. Even if you invested two years, there was no guarantee of success.

In the end, I headed to the library.

It was a place with dozens or millions of books. This capital… No, it was no exaggeration to say that it was the largest in the entire empire.

And it was also the right of academy cadets to read all of these books.

Since I was also a cadet, I could and should have enjoyed it to its fullest.

The library was quiet.

As the professor said before, even though it was approaching exam period.

That was because this test was focused on practical skills.

It’s not that I didn’t look at it at all, but if I just read the practical skills well, it was possible to get in the middle to upper ranks even if I ignored the written exam.

Thanks to this, most cadets devoted themselves to training for practical skills.

‘For me, there is no such thing as good news.’

If this library was crowded with cadets, how would you be able to concentrate?

There were only a few people managing this large space, so there was a high possibility that it would be a headache if a fight broke out.

Even if the administrators saw the cadets arguing with me, it didn’t seem like they would do anything to stop it.

Of course, that didn’t mean there were no cadets in the library at all, but it was okay.

The mere fact that they are here now means that they are serious about reading or learning. I don’t really think that they would bother me.

“A hermeneutics book… ? It’s there if you go over there. Tsk.”

When I asked the location of the book, the librarian answered bluntly.

Nevertheless, I was just grateful because he had fulfilled his duty.

――Whispering!

The bookshelves here were really high.

I had to raise my head as high as I could to barely see the end.

But that wasn’t really a problem.

There was a spell that automatically brought the book you wanted.

It is a very convenient and amazing feature.

‘I can’t use magic like this on my body…’ .’

I had such a wish, but I swallowed my regrets because telekinesis magic was an area that could not be reached normally.

–thud!

After choosing a few books, I headed to a nearby desk.

I started reading in a really quiet place with no one around.

I felt dizzy for a moment at the sight of a collection of typefaces that I hadn’t seen in a long time, but that was only for a moment.

I was able to focus quickly, remembering how hard I had once been studying.

It was about two hours later that I was interrupted as I searched for clues.

“Oh! I found it!”

“… ?”

It was a voice that felt pure and pure.

My gaze was drawn to the source of the sound, which was so refreshing that I couldn’t believe it was directed at me.

“You are her, right? The one who came back this time after his suspension was lifted?”

“… … .”

“The name is definitely… yes! Cain! Cain Rudfeld? No. Since he was excommunicated…is he just Cain now?”

“… … .”

Very innocent words flowed from her mouth.

I feel like I got a taste of why people fear pure evil the most.

It’s “. It’s amazing, it’s amazing. Have you really become younger? So this is not a theory, but something that actually works?”

“… … .”

“Ah, that’s right. I missed my introduction. You can call me Liz. Everyone around me calls me that! and… ”

I didn’t say a single word.

He didn’t even look at me at all. I just honestly read the book. Still, she seemed to have forgotten the word silence.

What on earth is this woman? There was really no hardship.

No matter how good I was at ignoring, it was impossible to read a book while ignoring the noise that was happening right in front of me.

“Yap!”

“… … .”

She even snatched my book.

“Now send me my side. You have to concentrate when people are talking! Are you saying you’re no longer a noble and have lost your manners?”

“Hu… .”

It’s etiquette… If you say something like that to me, do you think you don’t know the word ‘yeokjisaji’?

Well, if she was someone who knew that, she wouldn’t have done this in the first place.

“Hey~ Can’t you hear~ I’m talking~~”

Now she sits in front of me and talks.

It wasn’t enough to rest his chin on both hands, so he tapped my legs with both feet. According to the rhythm of speaking.

Of course, I had no feeling in my lower body, so there was no pain at all, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t feel my body shaking from the blow.

It was truly a sad moment for my legs to end up like this.

If everything was fine, it would have been a simple matter to just run away, but look at this pitiful situation where he couldn’t do that.

Coming to a place that was too quiet was also poison.

There is no one nearby to stop this woman. what… Even if there was, I don’t think there would have been anything to stop it.

“I.I.I.YO! Can’t you hear~~”

“Ha… .”

Despite endless urging, I reluctantly opened my mouth. While scrunching up my face.

It was best to satisfy her as quickly as possible and then chase her away.

“What on earth is your business?”

“Oh!! I finally have an idea to say something! I really wanted to talk to you!”

“… Nothing good will come from talking to me, right?”

“Why? Is it just good? Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to the person I want to talk to?”

“Do other cadets view you negatively?”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

Eyes filled with pure doubt turn towards me.

And that was her sincerity. I could immediately feel that it wasn’t any pretense.

There were really no weirdos.

Well, he probably wasn’t an ordinary guy from the moment he approached me like this.

“Okay… It’s none of my business.”

“That’s right. that’s right! Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask you.”

“What is that?”

“The reason you were suspended from school.”

Is this the reason you were suspended from school?

Obviously, the charges that the general cadets knew about were ‘attempted rape and arson to destroy evidence.’

This was because the Academy and our family worked hard. Not specifically for me, but purely for their own sake.

In fact, only a small number of people knew the crime I was falsely accused of, so the woman in front of me had no way of knowing.

“You said you raped her.”

“… … .”

“How was it? Was that girl pretty? So was it good?”

“… Huh.”

ah. I feel dizzy.

What on earth is he saying now?

**

I guess I thought wrong.

I should have known from the moment he approached me without any malice.

This woman who introduced herself as Liz wasn’t a weirdo, she was just a crazy bitch.

“Wow~ You really are a jerk!”

Look at me.

How can we say that we are not crazy about that?

For your information, that comment was made right after I answered ‘that’s just the way it was’ to her unusual question.

“What can I say about that… That psychopath? Anyway, that’s right, right? If it was just like that, why did it happen? I think it would have been really nice to do that to the guy I like, right?”

He must be a psychopath. And isn’t that you, not me? I swallowed those words. Because it didn’t seem like there was anything good to do.

“Ha… Did you just come here to ask that? Then will you just go? Because I’m busy.”

“Eeh? That’s not possible~ I’ve been looking for you for so long~”

What on earth do you like so much that you look for me?

Actually, isn’t this a high level of harassment? Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

“And then… ”

“… ”

“You’re lying.”

I was embarrassed.

The emotions disappeared from her lively voice. So suddenly and suddenly.

The expression also disappeared.

She suddenly became a different person and let out a quiet sigh.

“You. You didn’t do it. Rape.”
