Chapter 72 – New Encounters (2)
“There is quite a bit of bias in matching students perfectly one-on-one with respect to career paths, so popular kids usually have 3-4 juniors. There are also children who do not have any at all. In my mind, we want to have them all day long. Marey also has to meet a lot of people. I think we should go talk to the student council president first.”
Will you be surprised to see it? Illien laughed out loud.
“He likes me very much, and I am a child he likes too. Marai said she still has nothing she wants to do, right? Mentor-mentee is not such a rigid system, so people often change under mutual consent. It would be nice to meet a lot of people. Valter is all good. Unlike other human schools, the concept of class is a little vague. This is the best way to get close to the people around you.”
She was Marei, who had been surrounded by beauties who were not even worthy of being perfect, but she couldn’t help but be seduced by Illien’s words. It had been less than a month since she had enjoyed her daily life full of lust, and before that, laughing and chatting with her friends in an ordinary school was her daily routine.
The place she arrived along with Illien was a very secluded place. She was able to guess that the church was not far away from the sound of chants heard in between. Standing in front of a door full of antique sculptures, Illien knocked on the door several times.
“Sasha, are you there?”
“Ah, Teacher Illien! Are you here? First of all, there are customers, so let’s sit down and talk.”
The door opened right away, and a woman with a head one head taller than Marey greeted Illien and Marey with a smile. The appearance of the sofa in front of the long table reminded her of the teachers’ labs, not the same students.
“Are you the kid who transferred this time? Hello, hehe… My name is Sassabetti Marcre. The race is the Elyos I want to see. Thanks to your grandmother, I haven’t graduated and have been stuck here for eight years.”
“Hello. I am Mare de Parwen.”
Marcre nodded lightly at her Marey’s greeting and gave her a small smile. She has a waist-deep flaming red hair and sparkling red eyes. She was a very calm woman with her hair reminiscent of flames and the color of her eyes. She added a pair of wings the size of an adult man, giving it a very mysterious feel.
“It looks like Lauren…But it’s definitely different.”
“Yes…”
Every time the story of Ravela’s grandmother, whom she had never seen before, was mentioned, Marey couldn’t hide the feeling of shrinking. Even though she hadn’t heard from her mother, she wasn’t used to the eyes of the people who looked at her in wonder whenever she heard the name of her family when she came to Baltaire.
“I read the letter you sent me well, Illien. Are you looking for a mentor for this friend?”
“She personally wants Sasha to take over. Wouldn’t that be too much?”
“If it’s Illien’s request, I’d like to do it. This time, the choir and the prospective paladins have been assigned to the sacred magic side at the same time. She can name her, but she can’t take good care of her. You don’t like that, do you?”
Through the wide open window, the chant was reverberating once again.
“Mr. Marcre…”
“Call me Sasha senior. The child who has now become a nun said that the name was difficult, so the two of them worked hard to come up with the name. And she can’t graduate because of Lauren, and she’s tied up here looking after her kids. What a teacher.”
“I’m sorry.”
At her story that her own grandmother, whom she did not know, prevented her from graduating, Marei apologized as if she had done something wrong, and Sasha laughed a little louder.
Hehe… Why are you apologizing? You took on a cute student, Mr. Illien?”
“Because you’re my cutie~”
Sasha’s small laugh erupted from her mouth, which was covered by the back of her hand. Contrary to her cold appearance, she seemed to be a very honest person in expressing her emotions.
“Because the paladin trainees and the choir usually camp together. If you think about my management and teaching, you’re right, but most of the priests who worship human gods don’t like me. It’s said that graduation is postponed, but in reality, it can be said that Lauren is protecting her. Did she say she was 15? Early admission to Balter School, you seem to be studying well?”
After glancing over Marey from head to toe, Sasha flapped her wings, and she addressed Marey with her words.
“That… Well, I don’t know.”
“Me, Edrien, and Miss Julia are such outstanding kids that we stick together and take over her private lessons.”
Outside, Illien, who seldom shows her affection unless using cognitive impairment magic, hugged Marey right away.
“It is made up of people who can turn even a genius into a genius… Lauren asked for it?”
“No, we did it because we liked it. Well, Idrien says I do private lessons, although she said it was because of the competitive mentality. If she goes to class a few times, I’m sure she’ll fall in love with Idrien too~?”
Right, Marey? At the words of Illien, who asked her affectionately, Marei cautiously nodded her head. When she was at the ball internationally, she was scheduled to press in earnest. She said that Ravella and Illien would prepare a way to break her heart, so she herself was full of thoughts of enjoying her flesh that aroused lust without much thought.
“Hmm… It’s been less than a week, but is she so full of talent that you fall in love with her? Because I am so proud of it, I also want to teach it once.”
“If Marey puts her mind to it, even Sasha, she won’t be around for a week, so she’ll be messing around? But this semester, classes are going to be full. Please look forward to next semester. Whoops…”
The direction of talent that Illien and Sasha were talking about had completely different meanings, but strangely, the conversation continued smoothly. Sasha flapped her wings once and got up first.
“It’s about time. A child to introduce as a mentor will be waiting for us. Would you like to go with Illien?”
Illien responded with a nod of her head, and Sasha roughly tousled Marey’s hair, stroking it, and moved on. Shaking her ass and tying her butt of the tempting naughty bitch, she chased after the student body president.
It was only when her face, slightly pinkish, glanced at Marey and bent over her body, that Marei stopped giving Illien her prize(?).
“Sasha is quite insensitive… Just a little more… Huh? I’m checking to see if there’s anyone around with magic…”
“I’ll do a lot later at home.”
In spite of Illien holding her own hand and looking at her with her affectionate eyes, Marei firmly shook her head. Her ridiculous spectacle was going on, but Sasha really didn’t know, flapping her wings and walking ahead.
“Joe, just a little more…”
“Ren, be patient.”
“Huh? Yeah… Just a little bit more…”
Although she was the one who started her, it was also Marei who was taken aback by Illien’s sticky clinging to her. She bit her lip as she moved her waist gently and lifted the tip of her skirt. She was a confident Illien who wouldn’t be seen by others, but Marei had no choice but to bite her lips and endure her lust because she still didn’t know her abilities properly.
“I got wet again just from the owner touching me… I could do it right away… Yes? How is it?”
The sweet voice whispered in her ear and Marei swallowed her saliva. No matter how faithful her instincts were, fear and rejection that she might be seen by someone forced her to speak as if she were dealing with Idrien.
“Hold on… It’s an order.”
“Yes…”
Illien sensed the thrill of Marey’s attitude as if she was actually handling a pet, and forced her lower body to move forward as she seemed to be about to sit down. She trembled for a long time with an unknown pleasure, but luckily she managed to calm herself down somehow until she reached her destination.
“Selene, Selene~ Is there~?”
Should I call it a garden? The high grass covered the view, and there were tables and chairs in the middle. Sasha moved around calling her partner’s name a few times before she abruptly stopped her steps. In front of him, a girl was sitting on her chair on a swing, staring blankly at her table.
“Again, I am writing a letter. What a load… It looks like her fiancé sent it again. Did you eat?”
“Sasha senior…”
As Sasha entered her eyes, the color of which was the same as the color of the cloudless sky in the afternoon, a faint smile formed at the corner of her mouth.
“I brought the mentee I told you about yesterday. If you don’t like it this time, tell me right away. Let me introduce you to another child.”
“It’s not that it doesn’t fit… No, it doesn’t. All right.”
His wavy blue hair swayed like waves. Should I say it’s like a doll? Her expressionless face showed no emotion. Marei looked at Illien, but shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know much about the girl in front of her either.
“It’s still preliminary, but let me introduce you, this is Celine Ferdinand. I’m taking a course towards the elementalist, but I have a lot of interest in this and that, and I know a lot about it, so it will be of great help… Marey, please introduce yourself.”
Sasha laughed mischievously, went to Illien’s side, crossed her arms, and carefully dragged her out of the garden. Illien wanted to be by Marey’s side for a little longer, but at her command to hold back, she obediently took Sasha’s hand and disappeared.
“My name is Mareid Parwen… I’m 15 years old… She’s still not getting her way.”
“Celine Ferdinand. She is 18 years old to be precise, but by Imperial law she is 17 years old.”
Celine was looking at Marey. The two, left awkwardly, just stared at each other without speaking. Celine, realizing how strange the two of them would look now, she spoke up first.
“Don’t stand there blankly, sit down for now.”
“Yes yes…!”
“Have you had lunch?”
Marey nodded her head. Rummaging through her basket, Celine took out her beautifully wrapped box and placed it on her table.
“It’s from her fiancé, so eat it to your heart’s content.”
“Yes?”
Can she eat what her fiancé sent her? I thought about it, but Celine still didn’t show any expression, and she silently munched on the cookies, unwrapping them.
“If someone comes up to you and tells you to stop mentoring me, be honest. Let me introduce you to her other friends.”
“Yes? What is that…”
Celine pretended not to hear Marey’s question and continued to nibble on the snack. She didn’t seem to mind if there were cookie crumbs on the letter.
“I don’t know much… Nothing good to know.”
“Yes…”
Celine’s determined attitude made Marei unable to continue her words. Seeing Marey’s downcast expression on her face, she let out a big sigh and continued her speech.
“Even if it is a mentorship relationship that will soon end anyway, it would be right for me to tell you the basics. How much do you know I heard about the transfer from Sasha-senpai. She heard that the transfer was a secret.”
“At all…”
Celine nodded her head a few times and took her glass from her basket and set it down in front of her Marey. I don’t know the name, but after pouring a cup of tea with a pleasant aroma, Marey continued her words.
“It usually feels like a study group. During the exam period, there are places where we do it together, and there are cases where we do it separately. Since the entire school is scheduled for Friday afternoon, there are groups that go home saying that they are doing outside activities. There are really kids running around Balter. Or there are kids who go sightseeing in nearby cities for 2 nights and 3 days. People who are really interested in going to school or career often visit and talk about various things with people who are in a related career or sharing information. And I…”
Celine paused in her speech, crumpled up the scribbled letter and tossed it into her bin, broke her expensive-looking quill in half before she resumed her speech.
“I want to try many things. I want to go eat something delicious, I want to play together in the plaza outside, and I want to study together. Well… That’s right. It’s just a wish.”
The words were spilling out, but Marey couldn’t find words to say because of her sticky and sorrowful emotions mixed with her breath. She had no choice but to nod her head in a heavy atmosphere, to the point that she couldn’t even hastily say that she would join us.
“If you transfer schools… The school building won’t be familiar to you, so let me introduce you.”
Celine got up from her seat. She moved her stride.
“Hey… Senior Celine. Luggage…?”
“Never mind, I was going to throw it away anyway.”
It looked messy. Feeling the illusion that her hardened face had changed to a slightly softer one, Marei followed Celine.
“Oh right…”
Celine suddenly stopped her steps and looked at Marey as if something had come to mind.
“Welcome, to Balter School.”
With her small smile on her face, Marei stared blankly at her.
