Chapter 53 – Academy (4)
Ann, hit in the stomach, fell to the floor, making a tremendous sound befitting her massive body.
Professor Lilyne turned her gaze to Suho Kang.
“What about you?”
“Uh…Professor, I have no complaints about learning control science.”
“Tsk..! How much magic do you think I just used to let go of that bitch’s attack?”
The classroom went quiet.
“I didn’t even use a tenth of the mana that that bitch used. If anyone still thinks this class is useless, tell me. Let your body feel it.”
The crowd became quiet.
Professor Lilyne stood upright and looked around at her students. Her stiff expression made her look more like a soldier than an educator. She glanced at her watch, which she had wrapped around her wrist, and she said.
“Then choose a partner to be with for a semester. I’ll give you five minutes.”
At the same time as Professor Lilyne’s words, the classroom started to become noisy.
A male cadet mustered up the courage to speak to the female cadet sitting next to him.
“Would you like to partner with me?”
“Ugh..! Mi-sorry.”
The cadet, frowning as if being hunted by a bomb, got up from her seat and left.
The male cadet left behind sat down in his seat.
Such situations occurred everywhere, but the professor just stood still with a rigid posture.
Siu thought about what to do. He had no friends and no acquaintances.
‘Suddenly, a partner… I’d rather decide.’
I waited moderately, and I was sitting with the thought of approaching the rest of the people, but someone approached me.
“Is it Jingu? Anyone want a partner?”
Kang Su-ho, this bastard started messing around again.
‘Patience.’
“I would have told you not to care? Do you really want to go back?”
I endured it in order to present a gift of despair that was greater than violence, but there was a limit.
Haha.. Calm down, Jingu. You’re my friend how are you is not it? Um… Jin-goo has no friends, so it’s going to be hard for him to find a partner. I’ll help you.”
Suho Kang then started to stare at the women following him around.
All of them averted their gaze and hoped not to be chosen. Because no one wanted to be a partner with Jin Goo.
“Ah! Yes Anne! Won’t you partner with Jingu? Please.”
Hearing that, Anne distorted her ugly face and began to look at Siu with her disgusted eyes.
Siu stood up from his seat. Then, he pushed Suho Kang away and started heading somewhere.
“Hey Jingu! Where! With Anne… Huh?!”
Suho Kang smirked and started to panic. Where Siu was heading, she was there.
Siu opened his mouth.
“Would you like to partner with Amelia?”
Amelia, who had been sitting blankly, glanced at Siu and said,
“…Okay.”
It was the attitude that it didn’t matter who it was. Kang Su-ho, who saw this, shouted in embarrassment.
“Amelia! Rather do it with me Ji, I’ll save Jin-goo separately!”
She glanced at Suho Kang and shook her head.
“Done.”
In fact, she was considerate of Kang Su-ho in her situation, but Kang Su-ho did not know. He looked at Siu with a jealous gaze.
Seeing him, Siu smiled. It was very embarrassing to clenched his fists and trembled.
“Kuh-kuh… I think you can partner with Anne. Is not it?”
Ann was delighted at those words.
“Oh! Thank god. Suho, let’s partner with me!”
“Huh?”
When Ann approached and crossed her arms, Suho Kang was taken aback. My arm was buried in a lump of flesh that I couldn’t tell whether it was my stomach or my chest.
Suho Kang laughed awkwardly and tried to escape, but Ann was reluctant.
“Why don’t you like it?”
“No, not that…”
“What now… I made you partner with that stupid guy, and now you’re taking it out?”
“So that’s…”
Five minutes passed in the midst of his floundering, with Suho Kang breaking into a cold sweat.
After 5 minutes, the professor untied his arms like a knife.
“All idiots who haven’t decided on a partner yet, come forward.”
At those words, several students cringed forward. Suho Kang also sighed in relief and hurried forward.
“You, your partner. And you and you”
Professor Lilyne began pairing them up, and their expressions seemed more relaxed.
And..
“Ho-oh…These two had doubts about the class. Just right. You two are partners.”
The professor took Suho Kang and Ann as partners.
Suho Kang widened his eyes, but eventually replied with an awkward smile.
“Yes, thank you. Ann let’s go.”
Kang Soo-ho flinched when Ann crossed his arms with a pale expression. Seeing that, a sigh filled my mouth.
She turned her head and looked at Amelia. She was blinking her eyes at her sleepy face.
“Amelia.”
“···Yes?”
Purple eyes turned this way.
“Please take good care of me during the semester.”
Siu held out her palm and she shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but my hands are a bit…”
Siu shrugged her shoulders. From the time she awoke, she wondered why she was reluctant to touch her body, but she couldn’t ask.
It was the first time she had even spoken to her like this.
‘How should I twist it? Longing for warmth… What the hell is that?’
Siu closed her mouth in thought, and she was originally silent. As we sat without speaking to each other, I heard Professor Lilyne’s voice.
“Today is the first day.. Just do the basics. All of you, palm your partner.”
At her words, Amelia hardened her expression. Her face was full of trouble as if she really didn’t want to.
The professor’s voice continued.
“They really look like chicks… Those who don’t move right away are all penalty points.”
Accumulation of penalty points could lead to expulsion.
The cadets hurriedly began to put their palms together. Siu held out his palm.
“Amelia?”
“···Sorry.”
Amelia held out her hand, trembling. I’m sorry
Siu tilted her head and put her palms together. I felt the cold, soft palm of my hand.
‘I’m going to make my goddaughter with these hands.’
Siu hid his lewd thoughts and smiled. Amelia, who was watching it, asked in a trembling voice.
“It’s okay?”
“Yes? What?”
It sounded incomprehensible, but Amelia looked genuinely surprised.
***
Amelia. She was cursed
It was a curse passed down from generation to generation as the ancestors dealt with the king of dreams.
Speaking of the king of dreams, it is a monster so enormous that a single individual can handle one wire.
The ancestor who cut off the head of such a monster accomplished a great feat.
However, the king of dreams did not die gracefully. He cursed his ancestors with nightmares.
“Ah… Amelia… I’m sorry.”
The curse that runs through the blood continued to Amelia.
At first, even Amelia didn’t know. She’s just having nightmares. What’s sweet?
She felt the curse herself, and she didn’t change her mind even at first.
It’s just that she sometimes has bad dreams.
But as she awoke, the quality of her nightmares changed. If I get cut by a knife in my nightmare, the next day, that part actually burns all day.
On the day her neck was cut, she huddled in a corner, trembling in fear of death.
How could she have endured that far?
However, the biggest problem occurred when I came into contact with others.
When physical contact occurs, the energy of the curse flows to the opponent.
Her opponent senses her instinctive reluctance and opens her hand to her. However, if you go beyond that and maintain physical contact, a bigger problem arises.
The opponent will also have that nightmare.
Of course, it may not be as real and intense as hers, but it is much worse than normal nightmares.
In the end, she couldn’t help but be angry with others if her hands touched her. Until now, she desperately hid the curse passed down from generation to generation, but she feared every day, not knowing when she would be found out.
The family of the hero who killed the king of dreams was forgotten like that. When the hero shut himself up in the house, those who were worried soon stopped paying attention.
It happens countless times and people’s memories are short. Amelia, who has lived in such a world, takes the [Efficient Control of Magical Power] Class.
She closed her eyes tight there.
She tried desperately to avoid it, but she couldn’t help it.
“···Sorry.”
She reached out her hand to the hapless Park Jin-goo, or Choi Si-woo, who became her partner. Kang Su-ho refused because he was afraid that something like this might happen, but he didn’t understand her feelings and sent jealous glances at her.
Even though she kept pushing away, she pushed even more because she was a little grateful for the approaching Kang Soo-ho.
‘Ha..’
Siu’s palms approached and she closed her eyes tightly.
The warmth of a person was warm. But that warmth would soon frighten her and hurt her.
It didn’t happen as she tightened her heart and waited for her loathing to come.
‘..?’
Siu was still looking at her smiling.
“It’s okay?”
“Yes? What?”
Rather, I was embarrassed to see him tilting his head.
Is it because you don’t have enough magic power to properly feel her curse? I usually feel a visceral reluctance…
It’s been a long time since I’ve known him only by face since middle school.
A warm palm felt with his sympathetic eyes.
The warmth of a person felt after a long time.
‘Ah…’
She was so focused on her warmth that she didn’t even notice Suho Kang staring at her with jealous eyes.
