Chapter 1066 – 1066. Magic School Shutra (7)
Ariel was adjusting her clothes in front of the mirror several times…
“Good.”
She nodded with a satisfied voice.
Ariel has rarely worn anything other than a uniform.
However, Ariel now reflected in the mirror was wearing a different outfit than a uniform.
Unlike the uniform that exudes neatness and nobility, the outfit seems to be overflowing with severity and stuffiness.
Ariel’s outfit looks like…
“Hmm… He thought he would never wear it again…”
Military uniform… It was also reminiscent of the military uniform worn by officers.
A white shirt that was tight enough to cover the entire neck and a dark blue coat wrapped tightly over the shirt.
And even navy blue pants.
It was a military uniform that did not reveal even 1% of the feminine feel.
However, Ariel smiled with relief even though her frustration enveloped her entire body.
“As expected, these clothes are comfortable.”
For Ariel, her own clothes reflected in the mirror felt more comfortable than her pajamas.
Ariel smiled bitterly as she adjusted her clothes once again.
“It’s easy to conquer, but… As expected, skirts are difficult.”
Ariel’s father was a soldier, and because of that, strictness always dominated the atmosphere in her family.
But that doesn’t mean she was in a bad mood.
My father, who was a soldier, was strict but kind, and my beautiful mother was thorough and kind.
But from the outside, Ariel’s house looked like a breathtaking alpine place.
Ariel, who was born and raised in that family, actually took that family atmosphere for granted.
Her hair was neatly done, her clothes were neat, and she took strong discipline for granted.
Thanks to that process, Ariel had never worn anything that exposed the skin of her legs, let alone a skirt.
And she entered Shutra for the first time…
“Whoa… Even female professors wear skirts… I should follow suit.”
She wore a skirt, and she had a hard time with the fact that she would have to wear a skirt for the rest of her life.
Even Ariel, who enjoys strict discipline, has not yet fully adapted to her skirt.
But even though she couldn’t adapt to that situation…
“If you want to change her rules, she just has to work hard to get to a position where she can do so.”
She smiled as she recalled her father’s words.
But Ariel, who was recalling her father’s words and smiling at her memories…
“Ha… How did we end up in this situation? .”
I remembered a suggestion that Seong Su-ho made not long ago.
.
.
Seong Su-ho showed a straight smile and made a strange suggestion to Ariel.
“Then how about going out and spending time with me on the weekend?”
“What… ? Outing… ?”
Ariel frowned and looked at Seong Su-ho, unable to manage her facial expression for the moment.
She asked Seong Su-ho back in a voice that matched that expression.
“What does reconciliation between the three of you have to do with spending time with you?”
Ariel did not hide her discomfort and revealed it as it was.
I don’t know what purpose Seong Su-ho had in saying it, but I could feel that the meaning of flirtation was well wrapped up in the surface of what he said.
Ariel, who was usually sensitive to these things, could only see the flirtatious meaning behind Seong Su-ho’s words.
Seong Su-ho responded calmly to Ariel’s anger.
“I’m sorry to say this, but… “The president doesn’t know much about relationships between men and women.”
“… But what does that have to do with what I said earlier?”
Although Ariel acknowledged it with her silence, she did not let down her guard against Seongsuho.
What does not knowing about relationships between men and women have to do with the flirting from earlier?
However, with Seong Su-ho’s explanation, Ariel’s boundaries were shattered.
“I haven’t experienced it, so there’s no way I can know. “If I were to compare the current situation of the chairman, he would be like a person who does not understand the concept or problem of drought at all.”
Seong Su-ho continued his words.
“The problem of drought is the problem of food cultivation due to lack of water supply. But what would happen if, to solve that problem, we suddenly burst the riverbank on the mountain and turned the village into a sea of water?”
“Ah…”
Only then did Ariel understand Seong Su-ho’s words.
“In other words, the president’s solution is a problem created by not understanding the problems between men and women. So, at the risk of being rude, I will say the same thing as before.”
“Ah… Hmm…”
I nodded instinctively.
The reason she nodded was because what Seong Su-ho said was not wrong.
‘It’s not wrong. It’s not just the relationship between men and women.’
Ariel recalled the words her former student president left behind.
(You judge all situations calmly… And furthermore, you tend to calmly solve all human problems.)
Ariel views all situations coldly, which is why she is concerned about relationships between men and women… She had a tendency to coldly analyze all human relationships, including those relationships.
The method that was not a big problem when she lived in her hometown became a method that did not work at all when she came to Shutra.
‘That’s why everyone was reluctant to be with me. Moreover, the seniors liked me because they were polite at first, but later on, I could see them avoiding me…’
Although she didn’t enjoy being left out, she wasn’t particularly dissatisfied.
But Ariel’s thoughts now are slightly different from before.
(I will do my best.)
A promise she made when she saw her senior leave his homework behind.
After Ariel remembered her promise, she answered with her eyes sparkling.
“Good. “Let’s do as you say.”
.
.
After that, Ariel decided to go out with Seong Su-ho every weekend and learn about her understanding of relationships between men and women.
Ariel looked at her porcelain face in her mirror, with her steely resolve.
‘If you think about it, it might actually be an opportunity.’
She did not expect to realize her relationship with men and women through Seong Su-ho.
However, it was just an effort to gain some understanding of a field she knew nothing about.
‘And it actually worked out well.’
Ariel liked Seongsu-ho’s attitude of immediately reflecting on himself, but she did not completely trust his true feelings.
‘If we continue to be together, we will be able to tell whether he is reflecting or not.’
He rather welcomed the situation where he could continuously monitor Seong Su-ho.
‘If the temperament of a woman is revealed again… At that time, you will also have to pay for deceiving me.’
Ariel was rather satisfied with this situation and left the dormitory room and headed toward the front door.
‘You asked me to meet you outside the main gate, right?’
It was a decision she made in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Ariel was dressed neatly and showed her exit card at the front door, and she was about to leave the school.
“Chairman!”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from behind and grabbed her feet.
The man who came right in front of her looked at Ariel and smiled at her.
“Are you leaving now?”
“Oh yeah. But what’s going on here, Louis?”
The person who captured Ariel was Louis, a tall blond man.
Louis answered Ariel’s question with a bitter smile.
“Haha… I was passing by and happened to see the president. “I just wanted to say hello.”
Haha, I always think about it, but I have a good sense of perspective.”
Ariel was able to smile sincerely at this moment.
‘I think about it every time, but I think I did a good job of encouraging this kid to join the military. There are very few children who are this passionate.’
At first, Ariel felt a little uncomfortable with Louis.
Above all, she felt impurity in her attitude towards Hanelone and Milena.
So at first she was worried that Lewis would have an accident.
But when she opened the lid, the result was different from what she expected.
It was Seong Su-ho who caused the accident, and Lewis only worried about the future of the student council, as if he had no interest in the opposite sex.
Ariel realized that the burden and impure feelings she felt toward Louis were a mistake, and she felt great guilt toward him.
And one of the big reasons why she accepted Seong Su-ho’s offer was… It was because of the guilt directed at Lewis.
She said, ‘She made a big fuss about giving counseling, but she’s not even able to give proper counseling…’ .’
Every time she consulted, Louis would talk excitedly, but Ariel would just smile awkwardly.
Ariel continued to make a promise to herself as she looked at Louis smiling at her.
‘Now, let’s learn about human relationships. And she will be the president who can give Lewis some helpful words.’
Ariel’s meeting with her saint was a decision she made for Louise.
After completing her rationalization, Ariel spoke to Louis.
“You don’t have to waste this precious holiday on someone like me.”
However, Louis responded to Ariel’s words with a straight face.
“I don’t think the time I spend with the president is a waste.”
Haha, thank you for saying that.”
Ariel said, feeling grateful to see Louis like that.
“Later, when we have time, let’s have a meal outside with the student council members.”
However, Louis sighed with a bitter expression upon Ariel’s words.
“That… Because I can’t go out…”
“Huh? You can’t go out… ?”
“Yes. I made a mistake with a professor in the past…”
“This…”
Although Ariel felt sorry for Louis, she did not ask him any questions.
‘Hmm… I don’t know what the mistake was, but Lewis can’t go out.’
Ariel also knew that it was rude to ask about the situation.
She hastily changed the subject.
“It doesn’t have to be outside. “If you can, there’s a terrace too.”
“Haha… Consideration… Thank you.”
“You can just ignore me, but thanks for saying hello. Then I’ll just leave.”
“Uh, Chairman…”
“Huh?”
Lewis captured again.
But Ariel didn’t feel particularly bothered or uncomfortable, and she waited for his next words.
After waiting so long, Lewis’ voice was heard…
“If… “You’re not meeting Seong Su-ho, are you?”
It was eerie, like the voice of a dying person.
Ariel, who was embarrassed on the inside, did not show it and answered calmly.
“Haha… I said it yesterday too. “Why would I meet that friend outside?”
“Ah… Yes. Sorry. I ask you this question again…”
After hearing Ariel’s answer, Louise let out a sigh of relief, as if she had just received a lion’s life.
Then, as if warning, she left a message to Ariel.
“Chairman, as I said before, Seong Su-ho is a piece of trash. In addition, he is good with words and can charm people. Therefore… “If he says something strange, please tell me.”
“… Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Ariel left the front door with those words.
Even as she left her front door and continued walking, Lewis’ gaze did not go away.
As she walked aimlessly, she got a long way from the front gate…
“Whoa… “You can’t see it anymore, right?”
I was able to confirm that Lewis’ gaze had disappeared.
But as soon as Lewis’s gaze disappeared, frustration came over me.
‘Hmm… After all, it’s not good to lie.’
The lie I spewed out in embarrassment at Lewis’s interrogation yesterday.
Because of that lie, I told another lie.
But Ariel quickly came to her senses and took control of her mind.
‘No. If I had been honest, I would have only worried Lewis.’
Lewis, who was usually positive and lively, did not hesitate to disparage Sung Su-ho when he was mentioned, as if to stir up a fight.
Ariel thought of Seong Su-ho and Louis as her juniors, but now her trust was leaning more towards Louis.
Lewis hates Seong Su-ho so much?
‘Perhaps, as Lewis said, Seong Su-ho deceived me.’
The assumption that Seong Su-ho may have deceived himself through false reflection was already in his head.
But even in that situation, Ariel wasn’t particularly angry.
‘This is ultimately an experience to learn about human relationships.’
Ariel actually started to enjoy this situation.
If Seong Su-ho is not a deceiver, you can learn from him about the relationship between men and women, and use what you have learned to help Lewis.
On the other hand, if Seong Su-ho had deceived him, he intended to make him pay for all his previous crimes.
But at that moment, Louis’ serious worries appeared in Ariel’s mind.
The words Lewis spoke contained hatred toward Seong Su-ho.
But his facial expressions, gestures, and voice…
‘… It felt like I was scared rather than disliked.’
It was full of fear for Seong Su-ho.
I felt a fear that Ariel might end up like Hanelone and Milena.
However, Ariel actually smiled at the sight of Louis like that.
‘Thank you for your concern, but I’m embarrassed. I can’t believe it…’
The moment I smile inside…
“Ah, Chairman, you are here.”
Seong Su-ho, wearing neat street clothes rather than a uniform, greeted Ariel.
Ariel smiled brightly as she saw Seong Su-ho greeting her.
‘There is no way I would like that child who is the complete opposite of my father.’
