CH 160

: Dare (2)

Finn was walking down the hallway with a hand in her pocket and gleeful. It wasn't about going anywhere. There were only a few minutes left for the first class, but I got frustrated and left my seat.

I didn't know Anne would say such a thing.

We always supported and encouraged each other, but we were blinded by jealousy... !

'I'm afraid I won't be able to support you.'

If you're so envious, can't you drink Apophis yourself?

You don't drink to protect your wretched pride, and you control what other people drink.

Finn felt his emotions intensify.

I know why she wouldn't want help with something like Apophis.

Anne's intelligence is at a genius level. Once you have seen it, you will never forget it, and you can easily solve difficult problems if you learn how to do them.

However, he was not born with magic, so it was difficult to go beyond middle school.

I don't want to believe it, but it's a stark reality.

If I put my pride down and drank Apophis, all my problems would be solved.

"It's class soon, so where are you going?"

Just then, a woman's voice called Finn from behind.

When I turned around, Sophia was smiling, wiping her blue hair with her hand.

"Is it my time for the first class in the alpha class?"

Ah I just want to get some air."

"Why is the wind suddenly ."

Sophia walked over to Finn and said,

"You look bad. Did you fight with your friend?"

"It wasn't a fight."

"Hey, it's true that we fought. Talk to this teacher."

Finn glanced at her, sighed briefly, and recounted all that had happened to Anne.

After hearing the story, Sophia patted him on the back.

"I must have been very disappointed."

"I didn't know he would say that to me."

"Still, you should get along with your friends."

"He understands that. I would have been very envious if Anne's performance had suddenly jumped. But even so... I wouldn't have been outspoken."

"Yes, yes. Just calm down."

When I took her to the window to get some fresh air, Finn seemed to have calmed down, so the excitement subsided a little.

"Originally, people are born that way. As there is a proverb that it hurts when a relative buys land, no matter how close you are, if you suddenly get better than yourself, you cannot easily admit it. Anne wouldn't have thought of it either.

"Is that so?"

Sure. Everyone knows that Anne is a good kid, right? It's just like that for a while now. So forgive your friend with generous generosity."

Forgiveness Yo?

Huh. Because the pin is good. But if you really want to do it... How about this?"

"What is it?"

"I'm bringing Anne with me today."

He didn't say where he was coming from, but Finn immediately understood and asked.

"Hey, Ando?"

Huh. Why? Do you hate having more friends?"

"Well, that's not it. I know. I'll take Anne.

"Fufufufu, well thought out."

"Ann will understand me if I experience it myself. And you will understand."

right. After all, Finn is nice, right?"

As Sophia gently stroked Finn's hair, Finn blushed and bowed her head.

Sophia smiled and grabbed Finn's wrist and dragged her away.

character. Come on, let's go to class first. The teacher will stop by for a while and then go right away."

" Yeah.

Finn greeted him briefly and returned to the class as if running away.

Sophia smiled at how cute Finn's back was, and then turned around.

Kennyak was standing there.

"Who wants to add more?"

Hahaha. It would be nice to increase See you later~"

Sophia patted Kennyak on the shoulder and passed by.

If the other teachers had seen it, they would have been astonished at the sight of the two of them.

Kennyak, famous for being lonely at the academy, and Sofia, who is an active socialite, seemed close.

Even if you're not really friendly.

" ."

Kennyak quietly watched Sophia walk away.

around work time.

Jamie, who had finished all classes, quickly left work and was heading somewhere.

It's absurd to say that Kalto is a teaching subject, but Jamie was no ordinary teacher.

I came here with the will of the elders of the magic world, and regardless of my age, I was a high-ranking sorcerer who reached the 6th class.

Who could be mean to him?

Except for Siegfried, the current dean, there was no better wizard in Phoenix Academy than him.

And now. Jamie left the bag in place and went to the only wizard who was better than him.

"Is the dean there?"

"Come in."

When permission was granted inside, Jamie opened the door and entered the dean's office.

The dean's office was much more cluttered than it had been before.

Siegfried did not even look at the old books even though the guests had arrived.

"Elder."

When Jamie called Siegfried by his usual title, Siegfried raised his head.

"Were you a Confucius? Someone called me the dean and said something."

Normally, you would know who you are just by hearing your voice.

Jamie didn't bother to pinch that part, he said, slumping down on the guest sofa.

"You still haven't found a way?"

"If it had been made in one day, I wouldn't have been interested in it in the first place."

It was a challenge because it was difficult.

While I thought Jamie had a really perverted taste, I also thought it was extremely magical.

Siegfried stopped reading the old book and pressed his thumbs against his eyes.

"It looks like my eyeballs are about to be plucked out."

"How many did you read?"

"I think I watched it for about two days without a break."

Why haven't my eyeballs been pulled out until now?

"Whoa. But what happened? No class today?"

Siegfried rose from his seat and stretched, and a creaking sound was heard in every joint of his.

It looked like he hadn't moved for two days.

I couldn't help but wonder how they covered up the poop, but I didn't come to ask about that today.

Jamie opened his mouth as he watched Siegfried approaching.

"I have a question for you about Anne."

"Anne? Ah- I've been here once for Anne's sake. So, have you decided to make disciples?"

Yeah.

right? You won't either... Eh?!"

Siegfried was a joking question, but as soon as he heard Jamie's answer, he opened his mouth.

He didn't seem to have expected that he would actually become a disciple.

"With the character of Confucius, a disciple ?"

"Why is my personality?"

"Awkward, grumpy, cocky."

Is not it cute. not good Not smart."

"Don't be arrogant. don't be arrogant It's not cheap."

"You're handsome. Magical genius. A swordsman genius."

"I'm a genius too."

"But I am more of a genius."

The two looked at each other with their eyes closed and snorted at the same time.

"Anyway, it's surprising."

"I also took in Lennon Simon as a disciple."

" Is that really surprising?"

Siegfried didn't see Lennon himself, but he knew the rumors.

Not only is he cheeky, but he is also possessed of insidiousness, and he is a kid who is properly afflicted with blackout.

Last year, after being harassed by Jamie for being wrong, I heard that his naughty personality got a little better when he was taught by Earl Simon.

"I like the synergy between the two."

"The synergy that Confucius said is synergy in the good sense, right?"

"If the results are good, it's a good synergy."

" Note that they are still kids. Whether it be envy, jealousy, or a feeling of inferiority. It's a dangerous feeling for children under the age of 10."

"I am eight years old."

" ."

Having said that, it was Siegfried who had nothing else to say.

He just coughed and continued talking.

"Anyway. Don't you know how much education affects children's emotions when they are young? Because even Confucius is a child."

"Are you returning it?"

"So be careful. It's good to roll hard, but if it's too hard, the kids can grow up and turn around."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Jamie had thought this through enough.

Disciples aged 9 and 10, respectively.

I had no intention of making an Archmage by erasing their personalities.

will look long Anyway, if the two are talented, they will grow on their own as soon as the conditions are met.

'I take care of them until the 4th class.'

Wizards must be independent from the 4th class.

From then on, the only thing I could hope for from my master was advice.

"Are you here to report it?"

"Be humble."

"Compassionately? Do you have anything else to say?"

"I heard this from Mr. Keniac not long ago."

"What?"

"They say you're going to take Anne as a disciple, so watch me and be careful."

Siegfried frowned at those words.

He responded by swiping back his frizzy blonde hair that had not been rolled for a few days.

careful? What are you careful about?"

"Even if I asked, he wouldn't tell me. So I thought the Elder would know something."

Well. It's a bit odd to say something like this to Confucius, but I have very little real power."

"Is that something to be proud of?"

At Jamie's pitiful gaze, Siegfried coughed with embarrassment.

I can not help it. In the first place, I was forced to assume the position of dean under pressure from other elders to take on anything . And I spend less than a tenth of a year in the magic world."

"That's why Javelin-sensei took over as the dean's dean."

"Actually, I found out a while ago that he was the dean's dean."

"You are really incompetent."

"An archmage is capable of itself, so that's fine."

I wanted to slap a hard chestnut on Siegfried's forehead as he spoke with a smile.

It's impossible now, so when I get stronger later, I will definitely do it.

anyway. Those words kept coming. I came here just to see if the Elder knew about it, but it was a futile step."

"You can even illuminate your face to say hello, and it hurts your heart to hear that it's a pointless step."

"I was heartbroken to hear that the former elder was incompetent."

"I'm sorry."

Jamie had nothing more to say and stood up.

"I'll stop. I'll have to go back to Kennyak and ask him again.

Hmm.

As Jamie was about to leave, Siegfried said, scratching his chin.

"Does Confucius know what's trending in the magic world these days?"

Yeah?

"They say that a nutritional supplement called Apophis is quite popular."

Ah. I know that. I've seen some of the students drinking. It seems that some of the teachers drink... ."

"Sir Silver was one of them."

" ?"

Why the sudden mention of silver?

I'm not interested, but now I'm deducing that the disappearance may have something to do with it.

"Why are you saying that to me? You can find out for yourself."

I do not know. I think he may have been aiming for something like this."

Jamie noticed Siegfried talking round and round, and responded.

"You want me to find out?"

"I really don't know why Mr. Kennyak said that, but if I hear that it will be dangerous all of a sudden, it's usually ."

That was then.

Beep- beep- beep- beep-!!

Well?

Siegfried frowned at the noise.

Jamie pulled a purple cubic studded necklace from her pocket. It's the same necklace I gave Anne and Lennon, set to alert them when something goes wrong.

Now ringing was Anne's necklace.

"The world really can't see an inch ahead. I gave it to you today and it rings right away."

"What is it?"

"SOS."

As soon as Jamie said those words, he teleported out of the dean's office.

Alone, Siegfried muttered as he rubbed his scruffy, rough beard with his palms.

"I need to shave."
