chapter 2
As the full mana disappeared, Luna realized that her magic had been successful.
The price I had calculated was paid, and my view slowly returned.
Eye level lower than before.
An incomparably low amount of mana.
I looked around and calculated the time.
By this time-
Is it the time of the Hero Academy?
“Eh… Aiden.”
The dizziness subsided and the three letters that had always filled my head came to mind.
“Aiden-“
He slowly rose from his seat, rolling the three sweet letters in his mouth like a roll of candy.
“Isn’t there anyone by Aiden’s side right now?”
In the mirror, an unrealistically beautiful dark-haired girl was smiling with bloodshot eyes.
Aiden-
Breathing out the three letters again.
***
“Beautiful and good morning!”
I woke up startled by the heavy weight on my body.
When I opened my eyes full of irritation, Kayle, who looked like a bear, was staring at me.
This guy is sad, but he was my only friend in the academy.
Stupid but strong guy.
He was the only friend I avoided because I was a paid student. When I confirmed that I had woken up, Kayle’s stupidly round eyes curled into half moons.
“good morning!”
With a cheerful voice, Kayle greeted her once again.
The first thing I see when I open my eyes is Kayle, so today will be like garbage. I groaned in anger.
“You! Damn it! I told you not to come into my room!”
I slapped Kayle on the shoulder with my fist, but it was my fist that hurt.
“Damn it! Piglet!”
I got up from the bed, shaking my tingly hands.
“Five minutes left!”
Cale, who had not been hit at all, snapped his fingers.
“what.”
The fist that struck him was still tingling, and a blunt answer came out.
An ignorant, hard-nosed bastard.
“1st class. And today’s 1st class is a swordsmanship theory class.”
Kayle spoke wittyly out of proportion to her size and ran out of the room.
It’s f*cking late
There was no time to wash.
I hurriedly got up and put on my school uniform.
The instructor in charge of the swordsmanship theory class was an arrogant old man named Reinhardt, and if he was late, he made him go around the academy grounds 100 times with duck feet.
So, this year’s tardy rate for the swordsmanship class was 0%.
I couldn’t even change that record.
He brushed off the tangled hair and ran out of the room.
It didn’t matter because no one was paying attention to me anyway.
I ran fast and the laces untied, but I didn’t even have time to tie them.
I did my best to run down the hallway mindlessly.
Fortunately, it was right before class, so there weren’t many people in the hallway.
“Hey! I told you not to run in the hallway!”
Someone shouted from behind.
“I’m sorry! I’m late!”
Without looking back, I answered and ran hard.
I mumbled something behind my back, but I couldn’t hear it.
2-a , 2-b , 2-c!
Finally, we arrived in front of the swordsmanship theory class classroom.
He took a deep breath and looked at the watch on his wrist.
1 minute before the hour.
phew… It wasn’t too late.
I ruffled my messy hair and locked my shirt loose. It was pretty cool as my hair was turned pretty naturally in the wind.
I opened the door carefully.
In front of the door stood Reinhardt, who looked like a brown lion.
“It’s late. Aiden Playground 100 laps. With flippers.”
Reinhardt spoke dryly and looked away.
“Why! One minute ago!”
I protested with a lot of regret.
Teacher Reinhardt pointed his thick finger at the clock hanging on the blackboard.
I turned my head to look at the clock, it was one minute past the hour.
‘Oh shit… Bad watch broke again.’
I tapped the clock on my wrist with my finger, but the time did not change.
“Wah ha ha ha ha!”
The kids in the classroom laughed loudly.
“Haha… But how can I do it in one minute…”
I put on a pitiful expression on my face and blurted the end of my words.
Of course, it won’t work because of my slightly raised eyebrows, but I’ll give it a try.
From the first lesson, it was obvious what a day would be like if I used flippers to go around the playground.
I looked at Reinhardt with all my heart and earnestly, but to no avail.
Reinhardt frowned slightly and shook his head resolutely.
“Worker Bee Baekgye. Make 100 laps around the playground.”
Reinhardt’s sad blue eyes made me reluctant to go out again.
What’s wrong with being one minute late?
f*cking Academy.
ruin it
As the academy of heroes went down to the playground thinking about the things that could be ruined, someone walked by from the other side of the hallway.
When I narrowed my eyes to see the person approaching, a curse came out of my mouth.
That woman was Kiana, one of the pride of our hero academy.
Kiana had the perfect look with blonde hair and a cool feeling. He had the highest talent ever for swords there, and he was a noble duke from his birthplace.
It was clear that the world didn’t care about balance at all.
Hi!
The ugly feeling of inferiority inside me raised my head and greeted me.
I forcibly pushed the guy who greeted me cutely and threw him under the road.
As a paid student at the Hero Academy, my way of surviving is to stay quiet without attracting attention.
Like grass on the road passing by.
I put my eyes as low as possible to avoid eye contact with Kiana.
‘The pattern in the hallway was like this. It’s a bit like a sword, isn’t it?’
He saw patterns he had never seen before.
“Wait.”
Kiana passed me by and called me up in a cold voice.
At that call, for a moment, various thoughts entered my mind.
Did you fall in love at first sight like a cliché in a romance novel?
I opened my eyes as wide as possible and turned my head in anticipation. My eyelids were trembling because it was too big, but I forced myself to hold on.
In the past, local aunts praised her for her cute appearance. Of course, it was after I moved aunty’s heavy items instead.
Kiana’s eyes met, and she slowly opened her mouth.
“The dirt is falling from the left shoe. Next time you enter the academy building, please take off your shoes.”
When Kiana had finished speaking, she turned back.
‘I’m really unlucky.’
Kiana turned the corner to make sure that she had completely disappeared, and spread the middle fingers of both hands and put them in that direction.
It’s a childish act for others, but, unfortunately, I feel a little better.
I took another heavy step and went to the playground.
On the playground, as if a swordsmanship practice class was in full swing, the children were fighting with their swords.
He buried his head in his legs and walked on duck steps.
If I do this, will they not see me because I cannot see them?
“Isn’t that Aiden?”
“The Aiden who said that he had a historical payoff that was harder than graduating early?”
“I must have been late! Fuhahaha!”
As I passed the children taking swordsmanship lessons, I heard a laugh.
I wanted to get up and swear, but I thought I would lose even if I had to fight anyway, so I pretended not to hear and walked away.
“You’re so lazy, so don’t pay for it!”
“Focus on class!”
When Dria, who was in charge of practicing swordsmanship in the upper grades, shouted, the students instantly became quiet.
Although she is a woman, Dr. Lia has always been popular with students because of her healthy body and cool-looking features.
“It’s a lot of trouble, Aiden.”
Mr. Dria said with a slight smile to me.
‘Mr. Drya called my name!’
It didn’t seem like an unlucky day.
He was filled with energy from the depths of his heart, but it was exhausted in ten laps.
damn cheap watch.
I recently recharged my mana at the charging station, so why are you f*cking today?
Although he was a paid student, he was still a student at the Hero Academy, so he could only complete 100 laps.
“Heo Eok- Shit. It’s so hard….”
I forced my trembling legs to sit on the bench next to the playground.
I used up all my physical strength in the first class, so today’s class was empty.
“Ah! Chaga! f*ck!”
As I was trying to catch my breath on the bench, I was startled by the cold energy I felt on my cheeks.
“You worked hard. The first period is already over.”
Kayle was handing out water with a friendly smile.
It didn’t matter at all, because even if I had entered the class in this state, I would have just slept on my stomach.
I took the water Kayle gave me and drank it all at once.
“Great- cool! Hiccup!”
Hiccups came up because I drank too quickly.
“Drink slowly.”
Kayle said as she sat next to me with a friendly smile.
“You! f*ck hiccup! If you were going to wake me up, hiccup! Didn’t you wake me up a little earlier! Hiccup! f*ck kid! f*cking hiccup! Hiccup!”
Kayle’s nice smile radiated heat again.
“All of Aiden is good, but her mouth is so rough. I didn’t know that Aiden would be late for Reinhardt-sama’s class from the first day.”
Kayle moved slightly away from me.
“You! f*ck! Hiccup to call me hyung! Hiccup to call me! I- f*cking hiccup!”
No matter how hard I tried, the hiccups didn’t stop.
Actually, I’m a paid student, so I’m one year older than Kayle.
I’ve insisted it on Kayle over and over again, but Kayle doesn’t care.
Of course, the other kids didn’t care at all.
“Huh- what kind of brother are your classmates!”
Kayle smiled playfully and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.
My body frowned at the ignorant power reminiscent of a monster.
‘Are you going to use your power on your rude little hyung?’
I felt like my body would be folded in half like this, so I hurriedly tapped Kayle’s forearm.
“Your f*cking hiccup! Do it! f*ck! f*cking hiccup! v*gina.”
At my words, Kayle released her arms.
“Oh! It’s Luna-chan!”
Kayle screamed as he looked around and away from me.
Where Kayle was pointing, a woman with short black hair and short stature was passing by.
White skin, short black hair, and dense facial features.
Her appearance was not enough to be called a beauty.
Perhaps when God made that woman, he put all his heart into it. And in my spare time, I roughly made myself.
I heard that Luna had an overwhelming talent for magic even though she came from a commoner, so the principal brought her directly to the academy.
Thanks to that, I came from a commoner like me, but the treatment I was already receiving was not a commoner.
Luna was the most cherished person in our Hero Academy, and she was only found in the library.
At first, rumors circulated that he was dumb due to his extremely quiet personality.
The evil fandom was as famous as Luna.
They didn’t like Luna when she was isolated, and they hated anyone approaching her. I’ve heard that anyone who approaches Luna will be persistently bullied until the academy is destroyed.
It was clear that they were really stupid bastards with nothing to do.
‘Still, it’s pretty, it’s really pretty.’
I leaned on my back and crossed my legs as if there was something. To me, Luna was more attractive than Kiana, who was tall and unlucky.
‘But his condition is a bit strange… ?’
Her eyes moved quickly as if searching for something, and her hand holding a thick book was trembling.
‘… I feel bad.’
My infallible survival instinct sent a warning.
At times like this, there is always a big problem.
It was like the last time I had a big job and didn’t have a tissue.
The eyes met with Luna, who was looking around like crazy, and Luna’s big eyes grew bigger.
Luna’s eyes met and suddenly ran towards us.
“Huh? Luna-chan is coming this way?! Coming?! Coming!”
Kayle, who was speaking, repeated his words as if it had broken.
It didn’t seem like a mistake that Luna was coming towards us.
As Luna approached, Kayle adjusted her posture and took a deep breath, inflating her already large body.
Its appearance resembled a wild animal courting females.
Luna arrived in front of us.
Luna’s breathing was heavy as she ran in a hurry.
The people around us paid attention to it.
“Who is that?”
“Isn’t that human garbage paid student?”
The noise around him was terribly annoying.
‘I’m a paid student, but I’m not human garbage.’
Because of Luna, who was breathing heavily in front of her, she couldn’t even protest.
Luna, standing in front of me, looked at me intently and slowly opened her mouth.
“Eh… Ethan?”
Luna muttered a little while tearing up the parts of my face as if groping for memories.
‘How do you know my name?’
Of course, I was famous for being the only paid student at the Hero Academy.
Tears like chicken poop flowed from Luna’s big eyes.
The atmosphere around me got worse and worse, and even Kayle, who was next to me, looked at me with her eyes narrowed.
It was certain that I had met Luna for the first time, but I doubted my memory because of Luna’s sad eyes that melted the hearts of those who saw it.
“Aiden…”
When there was no answer from me, Luna wept again and muttered.
“That… you got the wrong person.”
He was too famous for a small citizen like me to get involved with.
In order not to make eye contact with Luna as much as possible, he turned his gaze and denied it.
“Aiden!!!”
Luna, who trembled slightly when she heard my voice, ran towards me with all her might.
The short Luna slid into my chest, and the thick book she was holding crashed into the ground, making a loud noise.
widely.
I was definitely aware of Luna’s warm body temperature felt on her chest.
I’m f*cked.
“Hiccup!”
Next to him, Kayle began to hiccup.
