Chapter 1107 – 1107. Magic School Shutra (7)
It was after I finished the exam on the first day that I was able to hear Armonia’s voice again.
[Thank you for your hard work.]
As soon as the test was over, Armonia’s emotionless voice was suddenly heard.
And I heard Armonia’s emotionless voice…
‘Well, did I do something? I just copied the answer sheet.’
I answered calmly and with a smile.
Armonia suddenly made a crying sound the day before and blocked her communication, and we have been unable to contact her until now.
I was so curious that I was going crazy.
Why did he suddenly cry like that? .
But I didn’t ask.
The first reason was that I didn’t think I would get an accurate answer even if I asked.
‘As expected, I like the exam period. If you focus closely in the morning, you can rest the rest of the time.’
The second reason was because it seemed rude to Armonia to ask.
I don’t know exactly why Armonia cried, but one thing is certain.
The switch that triggered her emotions was me.
With that judgment in mind, I have endured, endured, and continued to endure my curiosity until now.
Fortunately, Armonia didn’t talk to me all day, so I was able to completely bury her curiosity in patience.
So let me say it slyly like usual…
[… Sorry.]
‘…’
Rather, Armonia apologized first, making my curiosity pulse again.
But I held back once again and spoke quietly.
‘It’s okay if it’s not me, so I think it’s good to let go of your inner feelings sometimes.’
[… I will keep this in mind.]
‘What is my mind…? I don’t have the right to say that to you either.’
[…]
It was an honest feeling.
I don’t know what secrets Armonia has, but I am living my life hiding her secrets just as much as she is.
She traveled around the world and made love to women, but there were not many women with whom she even shared her secrets.
In other words, every time I meet her, I face them as a false being.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t love those women.
No, rather, I hide the secret as much as possible because I truly love him.
The moment the lies hiding the secret are unraveled without any preparation, the relationship will be shattered.
I thought so and said to Armonia.
‘If you decide it’s okay later, let me know then.’
[… I understand.]
The conversation between me and Armonia ended with so many layers of curiosity.
.
.
Shutra’s testing period is a total of two weeks.
Written test week.
One week of practical exam.
And the written exam that covers the first half…
‘Phew… It’s over!!’
It finally came to an end.
But the only thing that ended was my written exam.
Other than me, the students were still busy taking the written test, scribbling on the test paper.
When I see students playing with their hands so hard…
‘Hehe… ‘Farewell, commoners.’
[…]
I smiled and stood up holding the test paper.
When I stood up in a classroom filled with the sound of pen nibs crunching and scratching paper…
“…”
“…”
It became quiet without a single sound of dust flying.
Everyone stopped their hands and looked at me with surprised expressions.
And among them, there were two people that caught my eye.
One person is Luna.
“After…”
Luna looked at me with a flushed expression, smiled happily, and began to focus on the test again.
And the one-person left…
“Clud…”
It was Lewis, gritting his teeth and glaring at me.
When I look at Lewis like that…
‘Now, don’t just stare at me, attack me!’
He made a silent provocation with a playful expression.
Louis flinched when he saw me like that and tried to get up…
“Tsk…”
After putting my hips back together, I started scribbling with the pen tip on the test paper.
If it were the old Lewis, he would have rushed out to the podium before me, even out of pride.
However, despite taking a direct hit from my provocation, Louise suppressed her pride and began to focus on the test.
‘No way… It doesn’t work anymore.’
I was disappointed to see Lewis like that and headed to the podium.
The professor on the podium also asked quietly with a surprised expression when I approached him holding the test paper.
“Are you done already? Submit it and that’s it. No… “It was already over the moment we got here.”
For reference, the professor’s name is Wolfgang Dabreck.
He was the professor who first gave me penalty points.
“Yes, I solved everything.”
“Okay, give it to me.”
Professor Wolfgang’s expression changed from surprised to pleased, and he carefully took my exam paper.
Even before the exam started, the professor had a cold expression on his face and threatened the students not to cheat.
The professor was giving me a kind smile.
It wasn’t the same attitude towards prospective professors as Ariel.
But his eyes seemed full of expectations that I would become like Ariel.
The same cold-blooded professor who gave me my first demerit points…
“You worked hard. Let’s continue to do the same.”
I gave words of encouragement with a bright smile.
“Thank you, Professor Wolfgang.”
I left the classroom saying thank you.
I immediately went to the terrace and listened to Armonia’s report.
[I think my writing is tied for first place.]
‘Okay…’
Joint first place.
In other words, the other person would also get perfect scores like me.
Please note that the other party was not just one person.
‘I didn’t know that Lewis would get a perfect score too.’
The story was that not only Luna, but also Lewis would be tied for first place.
Luna, I secretly stole her exam paper and let her solve it, so getting a perfect score was a given.
However, Lewis received a perfect score entirely on his own ability without any outside help.
Rather than being impressed by Lewis’s skills…
‘Hey… It seems like wishes are important.’
Because I knew Lewis’s true intentions, I just laughed.
The reason Louis takes the test so desperately is for his own sake, but he may also have a desire to obtain Ariel’s wish.
No… As of now, the desire to make a wish may be acting as a bigger driving force.
If Ariel’s wish hadn’t been granted, he would have run out when I came out to the stage.
‘You’ve already solved everything, right?’
[I solved it at a similar speed to Suho.]
Lewis solved the problem at a similar speed as I, who knew the answer key.
In other words, even if Lewis had gotten up from his seat because of my provocation earlier, he would have received a perfect written score.
However, because of Ariel’s wishes, he gave up his pride and focused on her perfection.
I made a sad sound with a smile on my face.
‘It would have been fun if I had messed up and crashed like last time.’
But Lewis is not a fool either.
In addition to the history of already causing a major accident, the situation also overlapped with Professor Magta’s warning.
Lewis was actually designated as a student of interest, and like me, he was under the full attention of professors.
Yes, the emotions in those eyes had completely different properties, like light and darkness.
As I was resting alone on the terrace, a second visitor appeared. The visitor immediately came towards me and looked down at me with a bitter smile.
“Isn’t it too leisurely?”
“Are you here?”
I came to my senses from the voice and got up from the chair.
“Did you do well on the test?”
“Yes, I saw it very well. Thanks…”
Luna trailed off and looked around her.
His eyes were filled with concern that someone might have heard what he said.
The reason Luna was so anxious was simple.
“I didn’t commit a crime, so why are you looking around like that?”
When I handed Luna her test questions, she handed them to me with a mix of lies about her genealogy that she had received from the student council president.
However, despite the lies, Luna could not shake off her anxiety.
“The student council members may not like it.”
Luna was rather uneasy because she believed my lies.
I was worried that I would be reprimanded by the student council just because I handed over the genealogy.
“Well, what if I don’t like it?”
I held Luna’s hand as she looked around with her anxious eyes…
“I don’t care if you do well on the test, right?”
I reassured her.
“Ha… “I feel even more anxious because Suho says that.”
“Haha…”
Luna grumbled with a helpless laugh at my words.
But there was no sense of anxiety in her grumbling laughter.
When I was talking to Luna while holding her hand…
‘Huh?’
Third visitor… No, the third person who was about to visit caught my eye.
‘What’s going on here…’ ?’
He was the dean.
But it wasn’t the dean.
It was nonsense, but that’s exactly what I was feeling right now.
The dean’s image was clearly reflected in his eyes, but my brain did not recognize him as the dean.
The dean always looked at me with a friendly smile.
However, the dean looking at me now was not that kind of dean.
‘What… ?’
The dean stares at me with sunken eyes.
The dean stared at me with harsh eyes for a while and left shortly afterward.
‘What? It just goes… ?’
It was surprising that he visited the terrace, but it was even more surprising that he passed by after seeing me.
It’s been a few weeks since I met him.
Because I had a tight schedule, I couldn’t even think about visiting.
But after seeing me for the first time in a while, he just passed by.
‘… Should I visit you today?’
I thought about going to the mansion myself, but…
‘No. Let’s stop.’
Looking at the dean’s appearance, I felt like I shouldn’t just go and visit him.
And above all…
‘I’ll meet you when I take the practical exam anyway…’
This brain attribute test was also prepared by the dean, so I had no choice but to face it.
As I stared at the entrance to the terrace and thought about the Dean…
“… Are you listening to me?”
“Huh?”
Luna was looking up at me with her lips stretched out.
“As expected, I wasn’t listening.”
“Ah, I was listening!”
“Wow, really… ? I happened to forget, but can you tell me what I said?”
“Oh, that’s…”
I immediately decided to use the cheat key.
‘Armonia! ‘What did you say?’
Armonia must have come to its senses and was listening to Luna.
But my expectations…
[Sorry. I also missed it because I was watching the dean.]
‘What!? Then, check if it was recorded earlier…’
[It’s possible. But…]
As Armonia blurted her words, Luna’s image appeared in my eyes again.
Luna’s sullen face went beyond the pupils of her eyes and entered my mind.
And along with Luna’s appearance, Armonia’s answer was heard.
[It seems too late to check. Do you still want to check?]
‘…’
Even Armonia’s response was delayed.
Although I was worried about the dean’s change…
“Haha… I forgot too. Would you like to imagine it happening like this?”
“…”
I had no choice but to put my worries aside for a moment to ease Luna’s mood.
.
.
Since the semester exam lasts for a total of two weeks, a weekend is included between the written exam and the practical exam.
But no student will be able to relax that weekend.
It may have been to prepare for the practical exam, but it was also because no student could properly rest before the exam.
And so did I.
‘Wow, I’m tired.’
I put all my strength into my heavy eyelids and barely managed to lift them.
The reason I was sleepy wasn’t because of studying for the test or the pressure of the test.
‘Wow… Going to see Anna and Iris is getting a bit overwhelming.’
It was because I stopped by Levin for the first time in a while.
For your information, the main reason I stopped by Levin was not just because I missed the bodies of Anna and Iris.
‘Come to Stra quickly…’
It was to check whether Iris’ journey was progressing smoothly.
[It seems inevitable that we will be late because it is a highly secret trip.]
‘Ha… If I step forward myself, it will be over quickly…’
However, it was not possible for me to step forward myself.
Even now, every time I violate Anna and Iris, I use sleep to hide my traces.
‘But I will come before the winter vacation ends.’
Fortunately, King Levin and the 2nd Prince are aiming to arrive before the winter break, so one way or another, we will set a departure date soon.
As I sighed, finding some relief, someone pulled my forearm.
I blinked and checked my forearm.
On my forearms…
“Did you not sleep?”
Luna’s hands were covered.
Luna was massaging my forearms with both of her palms and looking at me with her eyes filled with worry.
I smiled awkwardly and answered.
“I did sleep.”
“… “You don’t say you slept well?”
“Haha…”
“Whoa…”
Luna nodded her head at my excuse, but she continued massaging my body.
In Luna’s eyes, she looked so tired that I was worried.
As we received Luna’s touch like that, the attention of those around us was suddenly focused on us.
(Wow… I’m jealous.)
(I also want to be comforted like that by her girlfriend before the exam.)
(Sigh… I’m feeling tired in the morning.)
Eyes full of envy and jealousy were pouring in from all over.
But despite those looks, Luna didn’t care, and she was massaging my arms and shoulders.
If Louise had seen this, she would have turned on the light in her eyes and looked…
‘Oh, that’s too bad…’
Unfortunately, Lewis was not here.
The place where I was currently receiving Luna’s touch and all kinds of attention was not the classroom.
As soon as…
〈 Well, then we will conduct the first-year wind speed practical test here. 〉
It was a mountainous area far away from Shutra School.
