Chapter 196 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
He thought he would answer naturally, but Nefty opens his mouth with a satisfied smile at Eugene’s dumbfounded expression at the fact that he didn’t.
“Hehe, well, at least I testified that no harm will come to you, just as you wanted after neglecting me, so you don’t have to worry that much?”
“No, that’s natural, and I’m curious about how the Academy will respond to your attack?”
“Well, I think it would be difficult for me as a student to know.”
“No, you are the party before the student, right?”
“That’s right~, I’m a party~, I’m a party to the attack incident that was left unattended by so-and-so~.”
No matter how he thought about it, Eugene was taken aback by Nefty’s attitude as if he had no intention of telling her because he had regrets about what he had just left behind.
And soon, he smiled as if he was satisfied with Nefty’s Eugene’s expression, and perhaps thought that teasing him any further was going too far, and gave him a proper answer.
“Well, I’m only half serious. Even though I am the one involved, I am also just a student. The Academy didn’t even provide that much detail. “But a little while later, during orientation, the academy said they would make a public announcement about the incident in which I was attacked.”
Nefty also said that he had been told that the Academy’s position and policy regarding the incident would also be communicated.
“So, let’s listen to what the professor says and decide together?”
“… “Wouldn’t it be better if you just said that?”
Nefty just laughed at Eugene’s ridiculous statement about Nefty’s story. And…
“Look at that, isn’t he already wagging his tail?”
“No, you mean you have no intention of targeting married men? “This is communication between people rather than between men and women!”
“It’s so fucking salty.”
Drurrrr!
It was when Yeonhwa and Nefty were having the same conversation. As she had already done several times since Eugene arrived in the classroom, someone had arrived in the sizable A-4 class.
Each classroom at Orbital Academy, which had a structure closer to a university classroom than a high school classroom, had an entrance only at the front.
This is because it was difficult to open a door at the back as it got higher the further back it went.
Therefore, a new person entering the classroom naturally has no choice but to use the front door of the classroom.
“… “It’s a woman.”
“Ugh, I expected a little.”
For that reason, the moment someone new entered the classroom, the eyes of the students inside the classroom naturally focused on the front door.
Perhaps the professor in charge had arrived to begin orientation.
But fortunately for Rona, who was still sitting on her floor, the person who arrived was not her professor, but a female student wearing the same academy uniform as her.
Therefore, the gaze of the other students who had briefly gathered around the girl naturally immediately dispersed.
Although the female student’s beauty was quite impressive, she was not a handsome boy like Eugene, and there was no reason for students in the Combat Department, where more than 80% of women were female, to focus on her.
Even if she has the characteristics of an elf like Yeonhwa, even if she is a beautiful girl who would attract the attention of boys on Earth, it is an unavoidable reality that it is difficult for her to attract much attention in the Orbital World.
The few male students, including Eugene, were somewhat intimidated by the force of more than half of the women, so even if a pretty girl appeared, they had no time to worry about it.
“Oh, you arrived on time.”
“… “Yes, she is the woman who possessed a thousand and one limbs.”
However, unlike the gazes of other students who gathered for a short time and then naturally dispersed, Eugene and Yeonhwa did not take their eyes off the student who arrived in the classroom just before orientation time.
On the contrary, Yeonhwa also became interested in the appearance of a female student with secret two-toned hair color of black and pink due to Eugene’s remark as if he had been waiting for her arrival.
“Like? “Judging by the way you’re glaring at me, it seems like the upper airspace has succeeded in handling things as planned?”
And the beautiful girl with unusual hair color who sensed the gaze of Eugene and Yeonhwa, and Moon Ae-ri, who had a secret meeting with Eugene after trying and failing to assassinate Nefty earlier, turns her head.
After turning her head like that, Moon Ae-ri’s eyes met Yu-jin’s and she was glaring at him, and she said as if her Yeonhwa was fun.
“Hmm, I don’t remember doing anything particularly worthy of being glared at.”
Eugene thought that she hadn’t done anything to make Moon Ae-ri hate her, and she smiled bitterly.
Of course, from Moon Ae-ri’s point of view, Eugene was the one who interfered with the assassination mission that risked her life, and before that, it was Eugene who put her admission into the academy at risk.
Even if you leave aside the idea of coming out as a possessor, it’s not unusual for someone to be criticized.
Common sense tells us that Eugene was just trying his best to get into her academy.
In addition, since it is natural for a person to block an assassination attempt, as Eugene claims, it is not wrong to think that it is strange for some people to hate Eugene.
In short, should we say that it is ultimately an inevitable feeling of disparity resulting from differences in each other’s positions?
Jiiiii!!
“… “You’re really looking at me like I’m going to kill you.”
… No, rather than talking about differences in position, it could have been that Moon Ae-ri just didn’t like Eugene.
Alternatively, he may have lived such a rough life that his personality and sensibilities have been greatly weakened, making him more hostile to others than necessary.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to glare at each other like that even though they broke up after confirming each other’s positions and recognizing that there was no need to be hostile.
“Hmm, airspace? Didn’t you say you were trying to appease? If that doesn’t work, you said you’d at least have a leash like a hero girl, right? But how come it doesn’t look like you were appeased or on a leash?”
And Yeonhwa seemed to be intrigued by Moon Ae-ri’s appearance and asked Eugene.
Unlike Nefty, she is a woman who clearly shows hostility rather than favor toward Eugene, so Yeonhwa also shows that she is not offended when talking about Moon Ae-ri.
Of course, if someone else was hostile to her husband, she would feel bad for a different reason than if she showed her favor, but in the case of Moon Ae-ri, it was a little different.
Through Humanity, I was able to see that the hostility was actually closer to wariness than hostility, so I was able to ask the question as if I was watching a scared dog.
“I’m in the process of conciliation. And the leash thing is really a last resort. … That guy has a really weird life. To be honest, if I had the time, I would just give them away to live the way they want.”
“Hmm, after listening to her story, I get the feeling that she has been rolling around in the gutter for a long time.”
The two people have a snowball fight with themselves, or to be exact, with Eugene, and end up talking among themselves while looking at Moon Ae-ri, who is sitting far away from him.
“… What is it? “Do you two know each other?”
Nefty, who felt a sense of being left out as the couple was having a friendly conversation, turned her gaze to Moon Ae-ri for a moment and then asked.
“Should I say we’re acquaintances…”
To put it bluntly, if you know someone, wouldn’t you also know them? It was Eugene who was thinking.
That’s because the assassin from earlier who rushed to assassinate Nefty right in front of him was Moon Ae-ri.
However, if that fact were to be revealed, Moon Ae-ri, one of the sub-heroines and possessing the incredible talent of Cheonmujiche, would be arrested by the Academy.
No, even after he was discarded by Crescent or retrieved because of his talent, he would have his personality remodeled like the current Genos and live as a puppet for foreign media.
Eugene was smiling awkwardly because he couldn’t tell the truth.
“Hmm… ? What? For some reason, he seems familiar to me too… ?”
Haha! Maybe it’s a mistake… ?”
Even though Moon Ae-ri fought with exquisite skill, covering her face with a robe and even altering her voice, she was unable to completely change her physique.
It seemed like he had lied about his height by using methods such as height, but the overall outline of his body was still revealed.
So, it is not strange that Nefty, who was the target of assassination, unconsciously feels familiar.
However, as I said, when Moon Ae-ri’s identity was revealed, Eugene was also in trouble, so it was time to try to somehow divert Nefty’s attention.
Grumble!
“… 30 people. Is anyone late for orientation time? “That’s good posture.”
As Moon Ae-ri takes her seat, a tall woman opens the classroom door again and enters.
With the appearance of the woman, her students’ attention focused on her again, and at the same time, unlike before, even though she was a woman, her students’ attention did not immediately disperse.
This is because, unlike other students so far, they are clearly wearing civilian clothes rather than the academy uniform.
In addition, most of the students are in their late teens, and even those who look older are women who are at least in their mid to late 20s, unlike the students who appear to be in their early 20s.
In addition, after arriving there, she was able to determine the number of her students at a glance, which made it possible to know that she was none other than the professor in charge of the class.
“Okay, then, right away, we will hold an orientation for admission to provide guidance on life at the academy. Have everyone sit down. “There is no set seat, so please take it in any empty place.”
And with the appearance of a woman who could be identified as the professor in charge, the students who had been chatting freely among acquaintances just moments ago quickly found their respective seats and sat down.
Orderly… It was hard to say, but at least the speed was such that it was difficult to find a student who was laughing.
As if to prove that they were the ones who passed the entrance exam with high scores, they at least showed that they knew how to distinguish between public life and public life.
“Hmm, it’s okay… Huh? “What are you doing there?”
The professor in charge was nodding his head as if he liked the idea that the students in his class had at least some degree of understanding of the concept.
As the professor in charge of this class, she immediately stood in front of the lecture table in front of the classroom and narrowed her eyes as she noticed one student who, unlike the other students, had not yet taken a seat.
“Uh, that’s…”
The student was none other than Rona, who was still slumped on the floor, looking very weak. The professor in charge of class A-4 frowned at her appearance and checked her name tag.
“Lona Renee… She is the second daughter of Count René. “Does she really believe that she is a high-ranking noble and plan to leave her academy on the first day of the entrance ceremony?”
Inside the academy, it was officially prohibited for students to pressure each other based on their status.
However, as mentioned before, the story was different from the outside, so even if students do not acknowledge the difference in status within the academy, the reality is that they cannot completely ignore it.
However, this only applies to conversations between students, and if the other person is a professor, the story is completely different.
All professors working at Orbital Academy are under the protection of the imperial family, so if they try to put pressure on them through their status, not only inside the academy but also outside, it will be perceived as a challenge to the imperial family.
This could be said to be a natural measure for professors to properly teach students.
