Chapter 101
Translator: HH Editor: HH
As I asked in curiosity, the female student paused and looked back at me.
B, But she looked like she was in a better mood than before. Like her affinity towards me increased…..t, that was just in my head, right?
“Well, we’re the same age but I was born faster, so yes. And you can tell from our mental ages.”
I understood what she was saying and nodded my head.
Ah, so they were twins. It seemed like they were fighting over who was older, and it was cute.
“But Princess, are you using magic right now as well?”
Anyhow, but it seemed like this student had come to the same realization as me. I tilted my head and answered her question.
“I guess others can’t easily see me.”
From the reaction of the male student, that was definitely the case.
Then did this mean my invisibility magic was still casted in the classroom too? And even now? But why was that student able to see me? She looked like she was deep in thought about this as well. But she scratched her head, like she couldn’t figure it out.
“Anyway, it’s a good thing you weren’t caught by anyone else.”
It was strange to see such an elegant and noble-looking girl scratch her head……
“But aside from that. Why are you in Atlante? Oh, should I not ask about that?”
But I flinched at what she asked. Seeing this, she carefully asked again.
“You probably already know, but the Emperor of Obelia is still looking for you. And we received a notice in Atlanta some time ago. With a viewing stone of you at your debutante ball.”
Cough!
I choked on my own spit hearing what she said. What? A viewing stone from my debutante ball? That was the viewing stone they were spreading across the continent?
Were they trying to kill me by mortifying me? Ugh, Claude, that twisted bastard!
“Did you run away?”
At her low voice, I was able to realize why people thought Claude was a poor father trying to look for his lost daughter.
They would think we were extremely close to each other because that was back when our relationship wasn’t too bad.
Who would be able to imagine if? That Claude had amnesia and was trying to kill his daughter.
ραпdα- n૦νe|`c,0m “Then shouldn’t you start to head back?”
At her careful advice, I didn’t speak for a while and awkwardly smiled at her.
“Sorry if I put you in an awkward situation. I won’t do anything that affects Atlante and quickly leave.”
“Oh, that’s not what I…..”
She looked a bit flustered looking at my face. She opened and closed her mouth like she didn’t know what to say.
“Sorry. I didn’t think through it. There’s a reason why you can’t return to Obelia, right?”
It seemed like she somewhat understood that I hadn’t run away and there was a legitimate reason why I left.
“I can just say I don’t know anything if someone asks. I won’t be affected just because I met you, so please don’t worry about that.”
I was grateful for her kindness.
But counting my old life, I should definitely be older than her. Strangely, she was extremely mature. Her eyes and overall atmosphere seem older than me.
Of course, it wasn’t like you became more mature just because they grew older. I guess I aged backwards.
“But seeing how you came here despite any connections to Atlante…..”
And she widened her eyes.
“Was it because of Ezekiel Alpheus?”
“You know Ezekiel?”
“There probably isn’t anyone here who doesn’t know him. He’s one of the only 4 students in the school’s history to ever graduate early.
Wow. That was such an Ezekiel thing to do.
“And he’s my older brother’s friend……actually, not that close. I know him because he’s the same age as my brother. But we weren’t that close. Because our grades are different, first of all.”
“I see…..”
“I heard that he was famous back in Obelia too. And he went straight back to Obelia right after, so I thought you might’ve met him.”
After that, she started to tell me about Ezekiel’s school life. Most of it was about how he was a great student and popular with the female students, and I was inwardly thinking that it was expected of the male protagonist.
“So they’re the same age, but he’s so different from my brother….”
I looked at her face. Her hair was similar to Ezekiel’s, but still slightly different, and her eyes like a deep maroon that I saw in my dreams.
Ah, so that was why I felt so familiar with her when I saw her.
Whoosh!
“Hey! Why are you still here!”
After some time passed, the door was flung open. We both turned our heads in surprise again. It was the male student from earlier.
“Ugh, what this time? You don’t even have to go to the conference!”
As she spoke in an annoyed tone, he frantically shouted like that wasn’t what he was here for.
“It’s not that, Carvelle is acting out again!”
“What? Then call the professor.”
“If he gets caught, he might really be expelled this time! He listens to you, at least!”
“Ugh, that damned bastard…..”
I watched her face become filled with rage and swipe her face with her hand.
I felt like I could relate to her for some reason…..
“Is it the classroom! I’ll be right there so go ahead first.”
“You have to come quick!”
After he left, she shook her head like she couldn’t be bothered anymore. And her purple eyes slid on me.
“I think I’ll have to leave because of my brother.”
“G, Good luck.”
I thought I should at least tell her that, so I cheered her up without meaning to. I didn’t know exactly what it was, but she seemed to struggle because of her brother a lot.
“Since it seems like you freely use your magic, I won’t walk you out. But it’s still dangerous in the evening, so be careful when you’re out late.”
“Thank you for today.”
“No problem. And my mouth is extremely heavy, so don’t worry.”
She lightly smiled at me and left the storage room. Watching the door close, I turned my head back to the window where I saw the red and yellow sun.
Should I leave now? Or since I don’t really have anything to do, should I leave after a while?
Clatter.
Then, my foot was caught on something on the ground. Hm, what was that?
I looked down. And I picked up the shiny thing near my foot.
On a gold chain necklace, there was a pendant with small letters on the back.
Hari Earnst.
Ah, the professor from the lecture hall had called her Lady Earnst. Wait, so if she was an Earnest in Atlanta, wasn’t she a part of the Ducal Family that supported the Imperial Family?
Wow, she was from an impressive family. Oh, and she said that her brother was Ezekie;’s friend. So in other words, since he was from a great family, he could befriend Ezekiel.
B, But what was I supposed to do now? Would she come find it if I left it here? But what if someone comes and takes it? But then, to give it to her myself…..
In the end, I left deep in thought with the necklace in my hand.
* * *
Eventually, I came back to school the next day as well. The necklace from yesterday was in my pocket.
I had received a lot of help from her, so I thought it would be better to give it to her myself than to leave it in the storage room. And it could be a special item to her.
But I couldn’t find the opportunity to give it back.
First of all, she was almost never along! After unintentionally observing her, I saw that Hary Earnst was a model student and also popular.
Although she was always called on in class to answer questions, she answered without hesitation, and the professors loved her.
And she wasn’t arrogant and extremely easy going so she seemed to have a lot of friends. And she was only 1 year older than me, at 15.
“Sigh, Cavelle. Shouldn’t you start to do the thing called studying? You have to graduate some time.”
Hary Earnst was attending this school with her little brother and her older brother.
But sometimes, she looked at them with exasperated expressions, like she didn’t know what to do with them.
“You know, Cavelle. I think sometimes you forget about how old you are.”
Although she was speaking like she was consoling a kindergartener, her face was filled with annoyance. It was hard to tell who was supposed to be older.
“You go around causing accidents like you’re a 7 year old and not 17. What are you gonna do?”
And strangely, she didn’t see me today. No matter how much I hovered around her, or quietly called her name, Hary Earnst just confusedly looked around and continued walking. She didn’t look at me once.
Hm? Did she see me by coincidence yesterday? Or did my invisibility magic work better than yesterday?
“The person you called your friend, Ezekiel Alpheus, already graduated. Of course, I don’t expect you, of all people to graduate early, but shouldn’t you at least not be held back?”
“What? Me, the sword genius, held back? If I put my mind to it, early graduation is super easy, but I’m not doing it because of you. You’re gonna be bored if I graduate by myself!”
It was funny listening to their situation. She was completely roasting him with a kind voice.
And it was funny watching her face get darker at his shameless words.
Next to Hary Earnst was a brown-haired boy with a mischievous look, and it seemed his name was Cavelle.
Hm. That was strange. Why was his name so familiar? Was it because I heard his name in the storage room yesterday?
“And are you stupid? I’m majoring in sword studies, so why should I study?”
“Even sword studies students take the graduation test. Did you forget…..”
“Gasp! They take the test too? Why? Why why why?”
“You attended this school for these many years and you still didn’t know there was a graduation test?!”
She exploded!
I had almost given up on approaching her and amusedly watched them.
“It’s not that I’m strange but this school is strange! I’m gonna go talk to them about it right now! Sheesh, a graduation test? Says who? I’m gonna go straight to the director’s…..”
“Geez seriously, what are you going to do if the other professors hear? Shut up and come here.”
In the end, I wasn’t able to give her the pendant back. In the middle of the night I saw in the moonlit window of where I was staying.
Hm. Then I should try to look for another way. Should I put it in her pocket tomorrow when she walks by? Or should I leave it in front of the classroom for her?
Watching her for the entire day today, I realized how rare it was for her to be alone yesterday in the lecture hall yesterday.
