Chapter 1120 – 1120. Magic School Shutra (7)
Shutra City had a larger terrain than the Levin Kingdom, which was known to be large.
And the areas were divided to suit the large scale.
Northern, eastern, western, southern, central.
For reference, the northern part was not meaningful as a travel destination because the Shutra School is located there.
And the central region was also not suitable as a travel destination.
The central part was a place where shops and private houses were mixed together.
Representative commercial areas include the hotel we are affiliated with and Carl’s musical instrument store.
And the places where I enjoyed dates with Ariel were all located in the central region.
Horseback riding range, sword training center, clothing store, theater, etc…
And a representative private house is Sonya’s mansion.
For reference, most of the private houses located in the central part of Shutra are the residences of professors.
Therefore, Ariel selected the remaining three places as her travel destinations, excluding the northern and central regions.
The first place I visited was the eastern part.
The eastern part was a historical site.
For your information, it was not just a formal historic site, but a truly perfect historical site.
Although there were tourists and street vendors wandering around, the place was entirely covered with ruins, with no private houses or shops.
The ruins left at the site were the remnants of a kingdom that fell long before the city of Shutra was built.
When the dean founded Shutra School, he couldn’t start from an empty field.
After much deliberation, they found a place among the fallen kingdoms where the buildings were still intact, and that place was here.
For reference, the culprit that destroyed the kingdom was, of course, the Dean.
But funny enough, the guides at the historic site were distorting the facts and conveying them to tourists.
“The Dean, with his benevolent heart, forgave even the devil-worshipping kingdom of Protia and gave it the honor of establishing Shutra School. There is a legend that the people of the Kingdom of Protea made silver rain at the first graduation ceremony to repay the dean’s kindness even after his death…”
“…”
Grace is a piece of cake… You’ve probably become a real devil worshiper and are throwing curses.
‘No… Now all the souls must have disappeared.’
In fact, the dean, who seemed like the great devil, was still alive, and the people who had been massacred were talking about people with distorted thoughts.
Student council members toured historical sites with such distorted history.
We wandered around the historical sites non-stop and returned to the hotel only after the sun had completely set.
From my perspective, I was worried whether a place like this would be fun since I come from Hyundai, where there are a lot of things to do, but…
“I only listened to it during lectures, but when I saw it in person, it was amazing.”
“Huh. “I almost regret why I only saw this wonderful place now.”
All members looked at the historical site and continued to exclaim in exclamation.
Even while returning home to the hotel, the conversation about historical sites continued.
As we entered the hotel with such excitement…
“Huh? “It’s suddenly noisy.”
The hotel staff began to move around chaotically.
If it had been like that before I entered the hotel, I wouldn’t have paid much attention…
‘It’s not an illusion, right?’
[I don’t think so. As soon as Suho and his group arrive, they are watching and moving.]
‘Are you really trying to ask me to leave the room?’
I headed to the penthouse with those concerns.
And not only me, but other members also looked worried as they read the atmosphere.
But our worries are…
“We prepared a meal in the lounge.”
It was only after hearing the manager’s explanation that I realized how foolish my worry was.
The reason the staff moved in an orderly manner while keeping an eye on us was simply to provide treatment befitting a penthouse guest.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and headed to the lounge.
However, the sigh of relief turned into a sharp cough as soon as I arrived at the lounge.
“Cough! Um, there seems to be some mistake there?”
The various foods prepared in the lounge were different from the meals we were accustomed to.
“Aren’t you mistaken about the number of people?” ?”
Although it wasn’t large, it was set up in a buffet style that could easily accommodate about 30 people.
The manager smiled and answered as if he was delighted by Ariel’s embarrassed appearance.
“This is a courtesy from our hotel. Please accept it.”
“Eww… Okay, thank you.”
Ariel looked like she was sick before she even ate.
Ariel wasn’t the only one feeling the pressure.
To be honest, I was starting to get worried at this point.
‘I’ll have to ask Sonya later if there’s any problem.’
There was even suspicion that the hotel was trying to exploit Ariel’s weaknesses.
“Hey, this is okay, right?”
Hanelone, who had actually created this situation, was also slowly feeling the burden.
When Hanello trembled and whispered to Milena, Milena also responded with her expression full of worry.
“I don’t know… Could this be… “You won’t be billing the school later, right?”
“Hi! Have we been scammed?”
The manager caught the conversation between the two people and answered with a bright smile.
Haha! Shutra student… There is no great person in the world who would commit such fraud against someone who would become a professor.”
He continued to explain that he was treating people this way solely out of pure admiration.
The manager who expressed his feelings for over 10 minutes…
“Enjoy yourselves and sleep comfortably. We will take care of cleaning and organizing before you wake up.”
She left without saying that.
After the manager left, all that remained was a huge buffet display and the six of us.
Hanelone, who was looking at Ariel with a blank expression, said something as if she was impressed.
“Professor Ariel is awesome…”
“Tsk… Well, don’t say that, let’s eat first.”
Ariel blushed and encouraged her to eat.
Everyone started eating in an awkward atmosphere.
But even that awkward atmosphere fills my stomach, and furthermore…
“Hi, the atmosphere here is really nice~”
“Really, really~”
As soon as she started drinking, she instantly relaxed and became lighter than usual.
“Ah! “Didn’t you draw a portrait at the historic site earlier?”
“Ah, here…”
Ariel carefully removed her paper from the paper she had brought with her earlier and spread it out on the huge table.
There are two pictures in total.
They were all group portraits of student council members.
“I was worried that I was drawing roughly because I was just sketching in 20 minutes…”
“You drew it really well…”
As Hanelone and Milena said, the members’ appearances were elaborately drawn in the portraits.
The quality was such that you could believe it was a photo.
“But how do we divide this…” .”
The problem was that although the paintings were of such great quality, I only had two of them.
And in keeping with longevity, the first to raise their hands were two people.
“Me!”
“I want it~”
Hanelone and Milena waved their hands with faces full of intoxication.
It was a rude attitude that she would not normally have, but Ariel smiled happily at the sight of the two people and nodded.
“Okay, this is for two people. “I’ll give you the rest if you draw it again tomorrow.”
After distributing the pictures, the meal continued in a bright atmosphere.
And once the alcohol had cooled down a bit, Ariel was the first to stand up from her seat.
“Huh… I have to go around tomorrow too… Let’s sleep soon… ?”
“Yes~”
Everyone had a sad look on their faces, but she came to her senses after hearing Ariel’s words and started to go back to her room.
I headed to the room and checked the members’ condition.
‘Everyone was sensible, so I drank in moderation.’
It seemed like she had not yet completely shaken off not only the burden of her place, but also the burden of her existence as Ariel.
And along with that thought, I thought about Ariel, who seemed to drink the least, and she seemed to drink the most.
‘I thought he would bring it up during a drinking session, but it passed quietly.’
After her exams were over, Ariel never spoke of her bet.
To someone who doesn’t know you, it may seem like you’re being irresponsible, like you’re avoiding responsibility…
‘Hmm… There must be something planned.’
I lay down on Ariel’s bed and fell asleep, looking forward to her plan.
.
.
The next day, I visited the eastern historical site.
We arrived at the hotel exhausted after visiting all the places we couldn’t visit the day before.
And this time, the manager served a buffet meal according to the time we arrived.
‘… The professor looks like a fucking piece of shit.’
At this point, I had no choice but to admit it.
In addition to the majesty of the Shutra School, how great is the power of the professor.
“If you have any inconvenience, please let us know at any time. Then…”
The manager was providing Ariel with unlimited hotel services simply out of a desire to convey his feelings.
Thanks to the appearance of the manager, we felt less pressured and began to enjoy our food to our heart’s content.
And at the same time as enjoying the food…
Hehe… “Sunbae~ This is so delicious~”
“The chairman also enjoys it~”
Hanelone and Milena, who were drinking alcohol like water, became drunk in an instant.
And it wasn’t just the two people who were drunk.
“Keuuuuu… Hanelone… Pour a drink~”
“Hehe… Chairman… Have a drink…”
Edgar Horwitz and Lewis were going beyond being drunk and were intoxicated to the point where they could even be described as drunk.
“Haha… I can’t drink anymore… Suho, can you drink more? Get a drink. And Edgar… “Don’t keep doing things like that to Hanelone.”
At least Ariel was leading the mood by looking less drunk than the other four people.
And I was the only sober person.
“Thank you, senior.”
I continued to drink the wine that Ariel poured, but she was fine without a single blush on her face.
‘Enel-chan.’
[…]
Thanks to the great Enel, even today I was boasting of a drinking capacity that surpassed that of Min Ha-yeon.
Actually, I wanted to get drunk to match the atmosphere, but…
‘Because I don’t know what I’m going to do.’
They were preparing for when drunk Lewis and Edgar Horwitz caused an accident.
And I was able to realize how great the proverb that words become seeds is.
“Don’t do that to Hanelone…” ? Then you pour it out~ Professor, let’s get some drinks.”
Words spoken by Edgar Horwitz.
The atmosphere was filled with excitement just from those words…
‘Hey… Did you read my thoughts? You’re causing an accident right away.’
In an instant, it started to freeze as if an ice age had arrived.
And the members looked at Edgar Horwitz with surprised faces that seemed to be frozen and cracked…
However, after receiving Edgar Horwitz’s rude remarks, Ariel calmed him down with a faint smile.
“I hope you don’t listen to me sarcastically like that. I just don’t want you to say anything rude to Hanelone…”
“What? “You were pouring drinks for that bastard earlier, and you’re saying you don’t like me?”
It was the moment when we went from the Little Ice Age to the real Ice Age.
“Edgar… “What did you say just now?”
“Ah… !”
Thanks to Ariel’s frown, Edgar Horwitz seemed to have come to his senses.
“Oh, I’m sorry… I was rude to you without realizing it. Haha…”
Ariel did not drop her frown despite Edgar Horwitz’s apology.
It wasn’t her own apology that mattered to her.
“You don’t need to apologize to me. But I have to apologize to Suho, right?”
“Huh? What are you talking about… ?”
The reason Ariel was angry wasn’t because of her rude remarks toward herself.
“You said something rude to Suho. Apologize quickly.”
I was angry because Edgar Horwitz called me ‘you bastard.’
“…”
Edgar Horwitz shows his irritation again.
However, Edgar Horwitz, who had already come to his senses, handed me an apple that was not in his heart, with his pride crumpled.
“I’m sorry, okay?”
“What kind of apple are you talking about?” .”
“I’m fine.”
I started to calm her down by interrupting her.
“When you get excited, there are times when you make mistakes. “I don’t care, so don’t worry too much.”
“… Phew.”
Ariel was not easily relieved of her anger even by my words.
Edgar Horwitz stood up from her seat with both her anger toward me and her fear toward Ariel.
“… “I’m tired, so I’ll go in and rest.”
That’s how Edgar Horwitz, the culprit of the Ice Age, left.
But once the Ice Age arrived, drinking could no longer energize us, and in the end…
“Whoa… Sorry for ruining the mood. “Let’s take a break for today.”
“Yes…”
The drinking party ended with Ariel’s pato declaration.
At the same time as Ariel’s declaration, Hanelone and Milena quickly returned to the room.
I also noticed and quickly headed to my room.
But the moment I headed to the room, I heard something in my ear that I couldn’t ignore.
“Chairman… I have a moment to tell you…”
“Huh?”
Louis stopped Ariel on her way to her room.
Ariel looked at me and sighed with an embarrassed expression.
“Can’t we do it tomorrow?”
“That… It only takes a moment…”
“… Okay.”
I quickly left Ariel and Louis and headed to my room.
As soon as I entered the room, I lay down on the bed…
‘It looks like that guy is trying to get into trouble too.’
I quickly used [Ghost Time] And flew to the two people in a spirit state.
I flew to Ariel and Louise in that spirit state and overheard their conversation.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Lewis answered as if he was drunk and gibbering.
“That… Remember to bet before… ?”
“Ah… Of course, I remember.”
Ariel sighed and answered, her face full of annoyance.
“Don’t worry. Considering the situation, when everyone gathered together, I thought I would grant their wish.”
It seemed like there was no intention to just skim it over.
However, Louis accepted Ariel’s words as if they were excuses and continued to push forward.
“That senior… That wish… “Can I speak now?”
“Whoa… Okay, tell me.”
Ariel responded with an expression that made her want to get rid of the annoying leech quickly.
Normally, she would have smiled to some extent, but Ariel was now in an uncomfortable situation.
So it seemed like she couldn’t manage her facial expressions at all.
But the funny thing about her was that because of her drunkenness, she smiled as if she couldn’t read Ariel’s expression properly.
“That… My wish is…”
She questioned Lewis like that, then sighed heavily and answered with a confident expression.
“Senior… I like you. “Please go out with me.”
Lewis’s confession given under the blessing of countless stars in the gorgeous Sky Lounge.
Ariel, who was confessed in such an elegant atmosphere…
“… “What?”
I started glaring at Lewis with an even more annoyed expression than when I heard him call me ‘you bastard.’
