21 – You can come anytime

When I left the classroom and went up the stairs to the second floor of the main building,

There were the instructors’ labs that Bella had mentioned.

‘How big is the lab?’

These are research labs that look twice as large as the lecture halls that were just before.

As I walked through the hallways, I approached the lab with Bella’s name on it and opened the door.

“It’s late.”

Magic books and various reagents neatly placed.

A place where the sun rises in the middle of the sky and shines bright light through tightly closed windows.

There was Bella, sitting on a desk full of papers.

Taking off the instructor uniform she was wearing, wearing a white shirt and a black miniskirt that exposed her collarbone, her appearance was truly alluring.

It was an office outfit that could often be seen in modern times.

‘I must be careful with my eyes.’

After entering the lab, I was distracted enough to think it was excessive.

I coughed for no reason and made up excuses.

“I’m a little late to make friends with my classmates.”

“Has anyone talked to Lian?”

It is a straightforward way of speaking that openly digs into the inside.

You already think of people as inferiors.

I tried to keep my composure and responded.

“If it hadn’t been for the instructor’s call, there might have been at least one.”

“That means it never happened before.”

“… Regrettably.”

I didn’t know that in the game, but now that I see it, Bella has a tendency to subtly annoy people.

The words spoken carelessly in an emotionless voice are only words that hurt the person concerned.

How did such a kid become Adélie’s aide?

“So why did you call me out?”

“Sit there first. Do you have any favorite tea?”

“Anything is fine. Will it be longer?”

“It depends on being a Lian student.”

While waiting on the sofa, Bella brought steaming tea and snacks.

This pale green… is it green tea?

“They said it was a green tea from the East Continent. The taste is not irritating, so I use it quite often.”

‘It’s green tea.’

By the way, Green Tirani.

It’s the same as written in the game.

The price is clear… Was it about 10 gold?

I used to sell jokjok that I collect because it’s japtem.

As I was slowly savoring the tea while thinking about the past, Bella, who had prepared her own tea, approached and sat down on the sofa.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she lifted the cup and sipped the tea.

“… What are you doing?”

“What do you mean?”

I’m dumbfounded, and I brush off Bella, who is sitting next to me.

She deliberately left the sofa across from me and sat next to me.

He questioned me, tilting his face without a change in expression, whether he had put an iron plate on his face or if he was pretending not to know.

“It would be easier to talk if we were sitting like this.”

“Isn’t it normal that we usually sit across from each other?”

“Why?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be easier to talk face to face that way?”

“Student Lian, would you like to talk face to face with me?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Is there anyone in the world who can talk without seeing each other face to face?

Even the NPCs in the game stare at the screen.

“is that so.”

Bella stared into space for a moment, then sipped her tea, then slowly got up and moved to the sofa across from me.

Only then did I see Bella face to face.

Silver hair shining brightly in the sunlight coming through the window and lips as red as cherries,

Even the curvy body that was clearly revealed over the white shirt.

Looking back, she was a dazzling beauty that was comparable to Reina.

‘It’s not a popular sub-character for nothing.’

The atmosphere was clearly different from when I was wearing the uniform.

The expressionless face made her image cold, but the round glasses neutralized it, so it didn’t feel as sharp as Reina’s.

“Does the tea suit your taste?”

Squeak-

She crossed her legs, revealing her bare legs, spotlessly white.

Her legs, which made her black miniskirt and heeled shoes shine, had the shape of a model’s legs.

‘Did I ask you to sit in the front for no reason?’

It must have been something she did casually, but the way she sees it is honestly crazy.

“Lian student?”

Bella calls me with slow blinking eyes.

Even that action looks lovely to the point that I want to give my all right now…

‘wait for a sec.’

What was I thinking?

It is an undeniable fact that Bella is a beauty. However, I don’t think I can hear such an extreme thought that I’m going to give it away like this.

In the first place, even when I saw the outstanding beauty named Reina, I had never felt this way before.

Come to think of it, what was Bella’s skill in the game?

Aside from other magic, there must have been a reason she was able to easily access Adelie and the people around her in the game.

The worry didn’t last long.

‘fascination.’

The ability to break the vigilance of opponents in the same space and approach them at once.

It was an ability suitable for digging out information by lowering their cognitive abilities and making them blow up.

It is usually an ability possessed by succubuses, but there are rare cases in which humans awaken it.

I had forgotten what kind of person Bella was because I was thinking about other things.

I immediately circulated the mana in my whole body and began to drive away Bella’s energy.

Then Bella reacted in surprise.

“You are amazing.”

Bella speaks empty words without a change in expression.

As if she had no intention of harming her, the energy that spread throughout the laboratory gradually disappeared.

I should have noticed before you came in.

“What are you doing?”

“I was trying to find out if Lian was really a person worthy of class A. Looking at the reaction, it seems that there is no need to do more.”

The Imperial Knights to which Bella belongs.

Their main duty is to protect the privacy of the imperial family.

Others were additional goals.

In order to protect the imperial family, you must have the right skills.

In short, it is a place where monsters like Adelie, the principal of the school, roam.

Of course, Bella is an excellent wizard, but that alone is not enough to enter the Imperial Knights.

What shone there was her fascination.

Her value was recognized just by being able to see the other person’s intentions.

The purpose of Altane’s final coaxing of her was also because of this ability called seduction.

“Are you calling me to test me?”

“Nope. This was just an additional goal. It is not the main purpose.”

Sipping again – Bella sipping tea.

The graceful appearance of drinking tea was so antique that even the viewer was mesmerized.

Come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve come here and had tea with a woman.

I drank with Risha from time to time, but it is a little difficult to compare a girl in her growth period with a grown adult.

“About the rumors about Lian’s student.”

“rumor?”

“Have you ever heard rumors of Lian students circulating in the academy?”

“I’ve never heard of it… Wouldn’t it be a shame to see it?”

Just like in the lecture hall a moment ago, my position here was not very good.

Even if he passed the event well at the beginning of admission, it was greedy to want it to be good from the beginning because of the notoriety that Altane has accumulated so far.

At my words, Bella agreed with a slight nod of her head.

“that’s right. Most of… No, everything is gossip about Lian. Some of them have not even been confirmed.”

“The kids who gossip don’t have to worry about that. Because they are kids whose purpose is to chew on someone.”

“You’re colder than I thought.”

“It is originally cold.”

“is that so?”

Bella’s eyes turned bright red.

It was a look that coldly judged the opponent.

Feeling displeased with those eyes penetrating my heart, I quickly turned away.

“So why did you call me?”

What the hell are you talking about?

I sipped my tea slowly and waited for Bella’s mouth to open.

“There is nothing else. Did you just call me to make a request?”

“Please?”

Bella took off the wrapper from the cookie on the table and took a small bite.

Crumbs fall onto her skirt with a whooshing sound.

“As long as you decided to go here, and as long as ‘your’ family is Altean… Various rumors will circulate in the future. Are you prepared for that?”

“I am already thinking. If I had been afraid of that in the first place, I would not have come here.”

“okay.”

Why did Bella refer to me as you and not as a student?

It was probably to warn him of the negative views he would receive in the future as a member of the Altyn family.

“The response at the front gate today was good. The appearance of not reacting to trivial troubles one by one… For the next two years, please continue to show us.”

‘Were you watching?’

“What the instructor said is, in other words, don’t raise the plate no matter what the dispute is.”

“I’m not saying don’t do it. It will be at Lian’s discretion to decide that line.”

“So, please.”

“Yes.”

Don’t crash, stay still –

In summary, this is

“Even if you didn’t ask, I was going to do it anyway. Because I’m not soft enough to get angry at every single rumor.”

“I’m glad then.”

“But if it goes too far, then there is nothing you can do about it.”

“I’ll leave that up to student Lian’s judgment.”

Bella nodded in satisfaction.

From her point of view, it was like a problem child who was climbing up and down among the academy or the nobility.

It will also affect instructor evaluation.

“Then, is this the end of your business?”

“Yes. You can go back now.”

If I stay here any longer, I feel like I’ll be possessed by Bella.

I quickly emptied the cooled green tea and hurriedly greeted her and stood up.

She is a beautiful woman who only exudes admiration, but inside she is a fox.

If you lose your mind, you may have an unfortunate situation where you reveal secrets that you don’t even know about.

I should go back to the dormitory soon.

“Student Lian.”

“Yes.”

Bella’s soft, still voice stopped me.

Wasn’t it over?

I tried to smooth out my wrinkled expression and looked back at Bella.

Bella, dressed in pure white bare legs in the seat where I had been sitting a while ago, said calmly without looking at me.

“If you have any concerns, you can come anytime.”
