Chapter 1063 – 1063. Magic School Shutra (7)
Claudia concluded her report with a shrug of her shoulders.
(Seeing him laughing like a crazy person, it seemed like there was nothing more he could gain, so he came back.)
I snorted after hearing Claudia’s report.
“Yeah, I’m not the type of person to give up like this.”
Hanelone and Milena suddenly appeared, and Ariel appeared with a delay.
Even Ariel, who looked at me with displeasure…
It was all Lewis’s doing.
And his final target was none other than me.
Luis, who had already fallen in love with Hanelone and Milena, planned to use them to discredit me.
And he even recruited the student council president to help with the plan.
If I hadn’t known Lewis’s plan, I would have gotten into trouble.
But his thorough plan…
“If I didn’t know…”
It was well saved in my mind through Claudia.
Claudia chuckled at my humming voice.
(They say there’s a flying guy on top of a running guy… That’s exactly what it looks like.)
Claudia’s words filled with laughter made me nod my head without realizing it.
No matter how fast Lewis ran as a flying bird, in the end he was just a human running.
If a mountain appears in the middle, you must climb over it. If a river appears, you must swim. If a cliff appears, you must turn back.
Furthermore, Lewis’s real problem was not the obstacles in front of him.
(Just running is daunting, but if there is interference from the sky… There is no answer. You can’t run while looking at the sky all day.)
Lewis was arguing with me while I was flying in the sky.
‘Well, at that time I was crawling on the ground…’
But Claudia’s report did not end there.
(Oh, that’s right. It was vague because he was muttering something, but… There seemed to be something with that blonde hair.)
There are three blonde women I know in Sutra.
Karin, Anna, and… Student Council President Ariel.
The ‘blonde’ that Claudia was referring to meant Ariel.
“Is there something?”
(I’m not sure because the conversation was short… But it was like counseling.)
“Counseling… ?”
It was a word that did not match the evil plan I heard earlier.
Claudia answered as if it was no big deal.
(Yeah. It was like matchmaking advice.)
“…”
Why does matchmaking appear there?
It’s not that I wasn’t sure, it was like I heard something wrong.
When Claudia looked at me with disbelief, she screamed out loud.
(I’m not sure, but I think it’s true!? I was asking what a woman likes and what situations she likes!)
“…”
I was distrustful of the word matchmaking, but I was able to wash away that disbelief with Claudia’s remaining explanation.
“That… “Isn’t this dating advice?”
(Dating or matchmaking…)
“…”
It was a happening that occurred because the times were so different.
Unlike the peaceful world of today, the world where Claudia lived was a battlefield reminiscent of hell.
It must have been a time when family utility was considered more important than affection when it came to connecting a man and a woman.
After that, she heard the details of her conversation from Claudia, and only then could she be sure.
‘This bastard… It looks like they are approaching Ariel under the pretext of consulting?’
It is too early to be sure with only a short conversation.
However, when I thought about Lewis’s actions that I had seen so far, I was filled with a feeling of confidence without even realizing it.
There is only one reason why I am confident.
‘If you look at what I did to Hanelone and Milena last time… I’m sure.’
It was because he already had a criminal record.
After being abandoned by Luna, Louise tended to turn to other women to regain stability in her own mind and body.
No, all the guys I’ve met so far have been like that.
While solving the puzzle, there was an empty space.
‘I don’t think Ariel is the kind of woman who would give such advice…’
A woman who seems to have little concept of relationships between men and women.
Ariel’s appearance, as if she views everyone as equal, is…
She looked like a soldier.
‘The tone of speech is also harsh.’
However, even though she had a stiff tone like a soldier, she was clearly an attractive woman.
And there is no way Lewis would just ignore such a woman in front of him.
‘No matter what, I don’t think she’s the type of woman who would give such advice…’
However, there was no other puzzle piece to connect the two puzzle pieces.
‘… ‘Do you like it?’
It was a highly probable guess.
Lewis is an insignificant guy from my perspective, but other people… In the eyes of women, he will be seen as a strict child.
As proof, the classroom is still full of female students who are like Lewis’s sasaeng fans.
While guessing Ariel’s inner thoughts…
‘… Let’s think about the rest tomorrow.’
I could see Lena’s face fluttering her eyelids.
I sighed bitterly and said to Claudia.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
(Hehe~ If you’re grateful, put it as debt. I’ll get a lot of it later.)
Haha. “I will remember.”
(Then I’ll take a look around the building. I’d like to spend some quality time~)
Claudia left a sinister smile and disappeared in an instant, passing through the wall.
I looked at Claudia gone and made a bitter expression.
The reason I saw her sad expression wasn’t because she left.
Because she seemed to know where she had gone.
‘Is it that hard to make a decision?’
The location of the wall she passed was in the direction of the dean’s mansion.
The reason he disappeared from time to time was probably because he went to see the dean, not to see other people’s private lives.
While I was lost in thought with such a bitter expression…
[Wouldn’t it be better to think while lying down? Is there someone waiting endlessly over there?]
‘Ah!’
I could hear Kang Han-na laughing.
I quickly jumped onto the bed so that Lena, who was ‘pretending’ to be sleeping, could fall asleep properly.
.
.
As soon as I woke up, I headed straight to the student council room.
There is only one purpose.
“… “What happened in the morning?”
It was to meet Ariel.
I carefully looked inside the student council room and greeted Ariel with a smile.
“I came because I had something to say to the chairman, and luckily he was there.”
As I said hello, I sighed in relief.
‘Luckily I’m alone.’
Even at the beginning of the semester, the student council room was busy with club-related work.
Most of the work was concentrated in the afternoon, and due to lack of time at the beginning of the semester, members tended to come and go in the student council room in the morning as well.
However, once the club-related work was completed, it became a quiet place again.
Even if they are diligent, not many students would want to get their seats stamped early in the morning without anything to do.
“… That’s what I want to say. Come in first.”
Except for Ariel, the student council president seen in front of me.
I looked into Ariel’s alert eyes and headed to her desk where she was sitting.
As I stood in front of her desk, Ariel looked at me with her cold eyes and said.
“Tell me what the business is.”
Ariel, who until recently was her senior, gave her kindness and smile.
In just one day, she recognized me as a delinquent child of her junior.
‘Well, it’s a blessing to be self-employed.’
The change in Ariel’s perception was partly due to Louise’s antics, but the main reason was my strong preference for women.
If I hadn’t shown that side in the first place, Ariel wouldn’t have been swayed by Louis’ trick.
I understand Ariel’s feelings of displeasure, and I put into her words the purpose of her visit today.
“I’m sorry for showing you a bad side yesterday.”
“Hmm… ?”
As soon as Ariel received my apology, her displeased expression disappeared, and she took on a slightly gentle expression.
“What was it like yesterday?”
Ariel pretended not to know, but her expression showed a hint of anticipation.
Combining Ariel’s personality and her temperament from what I’ve seen so far, I can roughly guess why she reacts like that.
“I feel like I have interfered with Hanelone and Milena’s studies due to my greed. And I’m sorry that I showed the chairman a bad image because of that.”
“Ohh…”
A smile began to spread on Ariel’s face.
‘She also likes people who reflect on themselves.’
Ariel was like a soldier obsessed with discipline.
And such a person likes people who are honest, and even more so, people who objectively realize and reflect on their own mistakes.
Now, in Ariel’s eyes, I will see her as someone who has realized her mistakes and clearly regrets them.
Kang Han-na, who saw me like this, giggled and said over the phone.
[On the outside, it looks like he’s really reflecting. If I didn’t know, I would have been fooled too.]
‘What do you mean? I’m really reflecting… ?’
[… Yes?]
As strong as I was, I couldn’t continue her words properly.
[Really… Are you reflecting? Here and there… I hit the octopus… ? You… ?]
I smiled and answered Kang Han-na’s abusive voice.
‘What are you talking about? ‘Why are you reflecting on that?’
[Then what… ?]
I answered Kang Han Na harshly, as if admonishing her.
‘Jangyuyuseo! You fought for the student council president who was your senior and ate her juniors first. That’s why I apologize.]
[…]
Thanks to me, I realized her truth and I have not spoken to her separately since then.
It seemed like she needed some time to think.
Ariel’s voice was heard in my ears, spreading her truth to Kang Han-na.
“Thank god. “I can’t believe I realized my mistake even now.”
Ariel is like before… No, she nodded, smiling a little more diluted than before.
“Anyone can make mistakes. That’s for you, Hanelone and Milena, and… “Me too.”
Without realizing it, I was secretly impressed.
‘Oh… I didn’t know it would be resolved this quickly.’
My goal today was not to get Ariel’s forgiveness, but to make her feel better.
In order to do that, I decided to apologize quickly, and I did my best to apologize.
Since things worked out so easily, I had one question.
‘I forgive you right away like this… ?’
She thought Ariel would like someone who reflects, but she didn’t know she would forgive so quickly.
However, thanks to Ariel’s next words, I was able to resolve that question.
Ariel stood up and smiled brightly at me in a confident posture.
“Most people who make mistakes waste time thinking about how they can cover up their mistakes. But you are different.”
Ariel seemed to consider ‘quick’ reflection as important as ‘sincere’ reflection.
‘It’s Jinseong.’
Until now, I had only thought of Ariel as a pretty and sincere woman.
But at this moment, I realized that Ariel’s charm goes beyond her beauty and sincerity.
‘You seem more talented in leadership than in magic.’
A charm that draws people in with its strong yet flexible charisma.
That charm was in Ariel.
I looked at Ariel like that and smiled at her as if I was fascinated.
‘Oh, oh… ‘This is my first time feeling this way.’
Until now, I tended to lead the women from the front.
Even though there were women who opposed me, there was never a woman who tried to lead me to the front in front of me.
There were no particular complaints.
I thought it was a responsibility I had to take on if I wanted to have that many women by my side.
Moreover, the women who followed me did not just think about their own safety.
When I’m tired, he holds my shoulder, when I’m tired, he carries me, and when I’m bored, he comforts me…
The women next to me respected me as the leader and worked hard in their respective positions to help me move forward.
That’s why I never once felt dissatisfied with them.
But today for the first time…
“I will try not to show myself like that again. “I’m sorry.”
I was able to see the back of a trustworthy leader.
A scene that calms your mind just by looking at it, and makes you want to follow just by standing behind it.
That was Ariel’s back.
Ariel, who had kept her distance earlier, came back across her desk and smiled brightly as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
“That’s what I’m going to say. As chairman, I should have controlled my emotions and had a cool-headed conversation… “I’m sorry for making you feel bad.”
“No. Rather, I was able to see how much he valued Hanelone and Milena.”
Haha… I like my juniors equally. However, since the two friends have been together for a long time, think of it as a bit more selfishness.”
It seemed like the situation was coming to an end.
‘I didn’t know it would be resolved so quickly. So should we move on to the next step? .’
The reason I let Ariel’s guard down wasn’t just to follow her around.
“But… How should I tell you two to correct my mistake…”
“Ah… Hmm…”
Ariel, who heard me, closed her eyes and was lost in her thoughts, her expression full of worry.
After a while, I opened my eyes and sighed with a sad expression.
“I think it would be best to first apologize sincerely to both of them and break up.”
… Could it be that they came up with a solution?
The thought almost flew out of her mouth by accident.
I shook my head with a bitter smile.
“It’s rude to say this out of my own mouth, but… How should I apologize?”
“Choi… With as much sincerity as possible… Wouldn’t it be okay if I apologized… ?”
“…”
It seemed like the leader who had been so charismatic before suddenly turned into a girl living in the countryside.
It felt like a majestic tiger suddenly turned into a domestic cat… ?
I asked, hiding my sigh as best as I could.
“Didn’t the Chairman have someone he liked? If he asks to break up with an apology…”
“That… Doesn’t exist…”
“… Yes?”
Ariel shrugged her shoulders and whispered quietly as if to expose her private parts.
“Me… No one likes me so far…”
