10 – Introduce yourself – 4

“Who, who is an idiot! why!”

“Then you’re a bear who can’t even study on his own.”

“Go, what kind of a bear is a bear!”

Michelle’s face, which had been red from the rush of blood, became even hotter.

It’s not a bear, it’s not a cat, it’s a rabbit. rabbit!

This pervert is real!

No, I’m not saying I saw it properly, so I’m not a pervert. Anyway, I hate it the most in the world!

Gradually, the limbs go numb. I hate the feeling of blood rushing to my face.

“Please drop me down. suck… whoa?!”

Before Michelle had finished speaking, the girl’s body began to take on gravity again.

It falls beautifully to the floor with a thud.

“Aww…! Ugh!”

In a fit of indignation, he immediately jumped out of his seat and stood up.

The broken leg hurt, but now the hatred of Adrian takes precedence.

I looked up at the tall Adrian without losing sight of it.

“Are you resentful?”

Now that’s a question. Michelle was hung upside down in front of everyone. Would it be okay if I was like you?

Michelle is about to part her lips to protest something.

“Don’t be too angry. I’ll take this instead of discipline.”

“Ugh…”

Punishment. The easiest way for professors to intimidate students.

…Of course, in hindsight, it couldn’t be said that what Adrian was doing was intimidation.

Michelle rolled her eyes and looked at Charlotte, who had collapsed over there.

Charlotte, who received the telekinesis of anger with her body, was moaning in pain. Although sparring is allowed during self-study, this is clearly classified as assault. Here, Michelle had no choice but to admit her mistake.

“……huh.”

Michelle finally nodded as she straightened her wrinkled clothes with telekinesis.

Punishment should be avoided. I’ll be going to the top class soon.

“Then you may go.”

After a small negotiation, Adrian didn’t even look at Michelle. Instead, he approaches Charlotte.

“Can you walk?”

“……”

Charlotte nodded wordlessly. The face of the girl who had been hit by the sphere showed more depth than the wound.

“Follow me.”

Tumble- Tumble-

Resembling Adrian himself, the blunt sound of shoes echoes. Charlotte followed quietly behind him.

* * *

Following the professor’s wide back, he arrived at the office.

It may be a bit absurd. To think that a patient who had been beaten to death went to the professor’s office instead of to the clinic.

It was because of Charlotte. In fact, Adrian recommended Rahal Academy’s treatment center in the middle, but Charlotte desperately shook her head several times.

Because the academy’s treatment center is paid, and Charlotte didn’t have that much money. Of course, there was a possibility that the professor would give it to me, but I hated that even more.

“Sit down.”

The professor pulled out a chair, but Charlotte couldn’t get herself into a comfortable position.

The girl glanced at the professor’s expression. He remained expressionless as always.

were you angry it probably happened It’s only been a day since Adrian and Charlotte made an appointment.

“Did you win?”

Even though it was already the second question, Adrian didn’t ask the reason for the fight. It was a bit of an odd question.

Charlotte shook her head quietly.

The outcome of this match was no mystery. In front of everyone, Charlotte was beaten to death and didn’t take a single hit. That alone is more than enough evidence.

Wounds that hadn’t healed yet were sore. Charlotte carefully opened her bloody mouth.

“As you can see.”

“is it.”

His tone was cool too.

What will happen from now on? Charlotte was anxious. It was as if I had let go of the straw I had barely grasped.

Professor Adrian must be a person who thoroughly distinguishes between public and private. Just by looking at his actions and speech, isn’t it?

What a scary expression he would show towards Charlotte who couldn’t keep the condition. How many bitter words would you say?

Or, are you going to punish them without saying anything? Whatever it was, now it was Charlotte’s turn to handle it. Because this is the story Charlotte started.

“Don’t avoid my eyes.”

When I heard that, my mind jumped. The fear even stopped the pain for a moment.

“…yes.”

After barely answering, he raised his head. As ordered, I tried not to avert his gaze.

And as soon as I met his eyes, something pressed down on my cheek, a bitter pain.

“Ah, ouch.”

I wondered if it was a hit, but soon I felt the moistness. At the same time, the unique scent of alcohol that stings the nose.

Charlotte widened her eyes. He tried hard to hide his surprised expression.

“Professor… this is…”

“It is as you see it.”

I tried to bite something more, but the cotton that Adrian’s tweezers picked up stubbornly rubbed the wound. Charlotte couldn’t help but groan.

“charlotte.”

“Yes Yes. professor.”

“You don’t bother making me go to the clinic.”

“……sorry.”

I could only answer that much.

It didn’t take long for the girl’s face to be coated with disinfectant and ointment.

Putting down the disinfectant and blood-soaked cotton and tweezers, Adrian held out a pill.

“It will help you recover.”

Charlotte took it but didn’t swallow it.

Resistance is never It was only because he felt that he did not even deserve to swallow this.

“Let’s go.”

Charlotte blinked a couple of times. I looked at Adrian, then at the door. And then bar Adrian again

looked

“Aren’t you getting scolded?”

“If I had been scolded, I would have been scolded.”

“What about the punishment…?”

“I didn’t even do anything that deserved disciplinary action.”

Charlotte was bewildered.

Anyway, I broke the promise I made with Adrian. But the professor was sending Charlotte away as if showing off.

What should I do in this situation?

Nobody told me about it, I never learned from it, and I’ve never been through a situation like this.

“why…”

She couldn’t decide whether to beg Adrian for a reason or to stir up his rage so that he would be outright angry.

“Why… don’t you scold me?”

“Because you won.”

At those words, Charlotte’s thoughts became busy. It was because he had never thought, not even for a moment, that he had won.

“If I’d even lost to the subject of broken promises… well, I’m sure I’d be upset if I did.”

“I lost.”

You saw it. I lost very miserably.

“I thought so too.”

Adrian just rolled his eyes without any emotion. The professor’s gaze was directed to Charlotte’s palm.

“Until I see your palms.”

Only then did Charlotte hurriedly stick her hands into her pockets.

Come to think of it, I still haven’t erased the incantation on my palm. It hurt so much that I didn’t care.

“charlotte.”

“… Yes. professor.”

“I will not ask why you quarreled.”

why did you fight When she remembered the reason, Charlotte’s face burned belatedly.

obviously crazy Why did I come forward to defend the professor? I’m glad Adrian said he wouldn’t ask.

“It would be either one. It was an infinitely insignificant reason, or a reason that had no choice but to fight.”

Adrian’s gaze returns to Charlotte’s palm.

“But when I saw your hand, I was sure it was the latter.”

The conversation that followed constantly reminded Charlotte of Adrian’s greatness. He was amazingly seeing through everything.

“What is the spell you drew?”

He’s not asking because he doesn’t know. Charlotte took a deep breath and answered.

“It’s a silent spell…”

Spell of Silence. A simple technique that only blocks out sound. That was the only thing drawn on the girl’s palm.

“It must be a spell that cannot cause any damage to the opponent. Why did it have to be that way?”

“that…”

Charlotte bit her lower lip and corrected her posture.

I didn’t have the courage to face Adrian yet, but I tried to face it nonetheless.

“…Because I wanted to keep the fourth condition.”

“right. That’s it.”

Adrian nodded slowly.

“Certainly, you have kept the fourth condition to the end.”

Charlotte nodded cautiously.

“Even while keeping the conditions, they didn’t run away.”

He nodded his head cautiously once more.

“With that alone, you have won. certainly.”

But this time, I couldn’t nod my head.

There was nothing wrong with Adrian’s words, but Charlotte still didn’t think she had won.

lost lost

Did he win just because he carved another attack magic formula? Did I hit even one…

I felt like I wanted to confess. I decided to just honestly pour out all of this.

“… professor.”

“Are there any questions left?”

Charlotte nodded.

“I… Did you really keep the conditions well enough to be praised like that?”

“What do you mean?”

“Michelle cursed at someone I cherish. That’s why we quarreled.”

“However.”

“I may have kept the fourth condition semi-forcefully. Even if I had rushed to fight with all my heart, I would have been beaten without even getting close to Michelle…”

I decided not to cry, but before I knew it, the girl was crying again.

“…I wanted to tell Michelle that he was a precious person. But I’ll just beat you to death. After all, I didn’t do anything, did I? That’s… defeat.”

“charlotte.”

He quietly calls out Charlotte’s name.

“Does knocking out the other person make you more precious?”

A sharp word. Adrian’s voice penetrates Charlotte’s words.

“If you get the other person on their knees and whisper in your ear that you are precious, how many times does that person become that much more precious?”

“It’s not… but…”

“I have no one dear to me. Even if there was, I lost everything.”

ah…

Charlotte just listened to Adrian’s story in silence.

“However, there is one thing I can be sure of.”

The professor was still staring at Charlotte.

“It is enough to show the heart that cherishes someone without running away.”

It was like a blow to the head.

“The parties will be delighted too. certainly.”

…can’t be

It was really strange.

I didn’t even give Michelle a shot. It’s not even one hit less.

Just imagining that person is happy… The feeling of losing is slowly melting away.

“I’m really… really happy.”

“I promise.”

Strange.

It’s really strange.

Just imagining that person being happy… I don’t feel defeated.

It’s such a shabby look, but I was just hit all over. And yet…

“…Turn it off!”

Charlotte rubbed her face hard with her sleeve, suppressing the tears that were about to roll down her face. It was to wipe the tears that had already flowed.

“I hate this.”

ha.

Adrian sighs deeply and puts the first aid kit in Charlotte’s arms.

“What kind of attitude is rubbing off what you’ve been putting on? Now do it yourself.”

After saying that, Adrian stood up from his seat.

“ruler… Wait.”

Dare to do so, the girl grabs Adrian’s sleeve.

“never…”

really never again.

“I will never cry again. I wouldn’t rub my face with my sleeve. So. So…”

The girl holds up the first aid kit with both hands.

And put it out carefully.

“Can you please apply it one more time…”
