Chapter 87

It took just 20 minutes to reach the academy, as expected.

I fell asleep surprisingly easily, and I stumbled a little when I got off the carriage in that short period of time. I entered the academy with Ragnis smiling at me. Unlike yesterday, the overall atmosphere from the front door was bustling, wondering what was going on, but as soon as I walked in, Ragnis started talking to me.

“Do you remember what I said yesterday?”

“I remember, but we have to split up again when it comes to magic class anyway.”

“...Eldmia? Where did you put the schedule that Gidley gave you?”

“Is there such a thing...?”

Thinking back, I think I was asked to read something.

It’s like he thought it was an academy promotional pamphlet and stuffed

it into his pocket...

It was contained in a small pocket designed to fit only letters inside a half-cloak.

“You mean you’ve never seen it before...”

“Somehow it happened that way. What’s wrong! Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t miss class and listened?”

“You missed it yesterday...”

“No, even if you knew that, you would have missed it, so it’s out of the question.”

To be honest, it was my mistake to start with polka dots, so of course Ragnis looked at me as if he was full of spirits, and I unfolded the scraps of paper I had left for four days to get past his gaze... Huh?

“Exploring dungeons...group matches...friendly matches? Isn’t this a test, not a class?”

It seems that all the contents written from today are the same. I looked at Ragnis as if I wanted something like this, but instead, Ragnis was looking at me with an expression wondering what this meant.

Don’t look at me like that...Now I automatically think of the cold eyes of the warriors, and I feel like I said something ignorant again... “Of course it’s a test

. It can’t end with just taking classes together, right?”

“...we are?”

“Ah... I guess that’s where it started. Even though I said it was preferential treatment every time, it didn’t seem to touch me.”

After listening to Ragnis nodding his head as if he understood something, he said that the normal schedule for this event, which can be called the Hero Promotion Festival, will be held for three days from today.

Even so, visitors from other countries had to go through the process of finding a place to stay, adjusting their schedule, and visiting on their own several months in advance, and had to be issued an identification card to enter the academy.

It was the part where it was revealed that Rudra’s mutt was an even more surprising madman.

Why is he appearing out of nowhere? He wasn’t even qualified to visit the academy that day! Somehow, at that time, I thought it was a bit strange that the professor was in a hurry, asking who the hell was this mess, but there was a reason I couldn’t have imagined.

Since he is an outsider who has not been seen, he has no choice but to know who he is even though he is a nobleman!

“Wow, I killed him for no reason. If I had left him alive, he would have had a series of hit-and-run accidents.”

“Don’t even talk. It still grinds your teeth thinking about that time.”

After all, Ragnis had his entire family insulted right in front of him. I can’t fully understand the noble’s sensibility, but I can understand it because I grew up watching it.

“Little brother, you’ve finally replaced the knot hole with an eye hole.”

Zeke’s hand comforting his shoulder felt so warm. Is this... human warmth...!

“Cheer up. The older brother has been through too. The older brother believes that the younger brother will get through it well.”

After all, it wasn’t like taking three girls with you!

Admiring Zeke, the hero himself with a halo, I hurriedly whispered in his ear.

“Yong, no, older brother. Could you please give me some advice? I feel like my blood is drying up since morning.”

“No, no. It’s your karma. The only advice I can give you is that you should be very careful when talking to the person who gave you the earring.”

“...to?”

“I believe you will understand what I’m talking about, brother.”

no real? really?

I asked with my face, but Zeke nodded and just gave me another hug and went towards Eselua and the other women.

It seems like I did something like a madman who put up flags all over the place without even knowing it...!

In the midst of the darkness in front of my eyes, I felt the accustomed hand crossing my arms, and when I returned to reality, the unconcerned Esmuer caught my eye. Even though Ragnis was right next to her, she showed off her affection without even thinking about hiding it.

“I wish you well today.”

“...Isn’t it too calm after doing such a great thing?”

At the moment, I was so offended that I unknowingly said something in a small voice, but Esmu was not particularly surprised.

Instead, he smiled lightly.

“Do you look calm at leisure?”

When the dainty hand is lightly overlapped with mine, a certain trembling is transmitted.

Ragnis, who had already been looking at me with sharp eyes in the part that was already a huge task, opened his eyes wide and began to be surprised as if he had grasped something.

“If you prepare your mind in advance, you can hide your complexion. It was a special thing for a woman, but it’s natural that you can’t find your composure overnight.”

it’s too hard...! While I was praying earnestly that my face would not turn red right now, Ragnis intervened.

“...I’ll do it too.”

It was not difficult for her to understand that she was making great efforts to hide the change in her expression, but I had no choice but to ask with a puzzled expression as it was hard to believe that she would have accurately inferred from this fragmentary conversation.

“what?”

“I’ll go back and I’ll do it too.”

“No, I know what it is...”

Ragnis answered with his eyes instead of words, and I understood.

ah! Everyone except me was blind!
