After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

7 – Sorry, but I’m not in the same group as the heroine.

Magical Science, Chivalry, Priesthood, and Scouting.

Liechten Academy is largely divided into four disciplines.

This is also a reflection of the basic party composition according to the school tradition of Lichten Academy, which emphasizes practicality.

In other words, it is a story that the fields that are at odds with each other in reality are also at enmity within the academy.

Typically, the relationship between the reconnaissance department and the magic department was like that.

From the wizard’s point of view, compared to knights and priests, scouts were somewhat less learned (magicians’ opinion) and were not trustworthy.

From a scout’s point of view, the work is similar, but the wizards who pretend to be proud and use magic comfortably behind the scenes are likely to be disliked.

Such a keynote is reflected in the atmosphere of the academy as it is.

＜ Basics of Reconnaissance and Search ＞

It was for that reason that Professor Rowen’s class at the Reconnaissance Faculty was convened in the West Forest.

‘We have to properly educate the baby wizards who only know how proud they are.’

A shadow forest where monsters and strong animals roam.

It’s not lethal, but it’s a powerful object, so there won’t be enough to break the momentum of magic students.

That was the reason why, somewhat out of the blue, the Class was convened right before the class started at the empty lot at the west end of the academy.

And in Ian’s case…

“Where is everyone going?”

Of course I didn’t know that.

◆

An empty classroom.

If it had been Pongpong, he would have been in despair in the corner of the classroom, saying that he was being bullied.

But now Ian is different.

I quickly made inquiries to students and professors from other classes nearby.

As a result, we were able to reach the vacant lot west of the academy.

“There you go!”

The moment I saw a group of students and a professor in the distance.

Someone shouted.

Probably a professor.

‘Your eyes are nice too. I can’t even see the features here.’

The closer I got, the clearer I could see the professor.

Fair skin and short blonde hair.

Overall, the thin but sleek body catches the eye.

But what impresses me most is the pointy ears.

‘Elf!’

Somehow, I heard that the class is held near the forest.

“Sorry.”

Ian approached the professor and bowed his head.

By the way, this guy, no elf. Is it a man

Looking at it up close, it had a strong and neutral feel.

So was the voice.

“Student Ian. Why are you late? Everyone had to wait in the scorching sun because of you.”

The professor asked in a cold voice.

He looks pretty serious.

Come to think of it, the atmosphere here wasn’t very good either.

‘It’s scary.’

Did the professor’s words serve as a signal?

The students’ contemptuous glances followed.

-You were standing in the scorching sun all the time.

– If you’re a pompon, then that’s right.

It was

.

‘… These bastards?’

Of course, Ian was unfair.

If a classmate is called by the homeroom teacher, it is something that can be said. Or at least tell the professor why you’re late.

Unfortunately, there was also a way to tell the professor right in front of him.

But Ian shook her head.

It is not that there is no karma of Pongpong.

His reputation in class is the worst, so it could happen.

So Ian chose a different method.

“I’m sorry. Professor Violet was in a hurry to find me, so I had to rush back without telling his colleagues.”

Of course, it is true that it is somewhat unfortunate.

But there is no reason to turn the classmates into enemies.

On the contrary, if you deal with it this way, you are leaving your children in debt.

As expected.

The sharp eyes of the guys softened at once.

Some even lowered their eyes to the floor.

I must have felt a little guilty.

‘After all, schools are small societies.’

Ian has already experienced social life before being possessed.

I could afford to handle these incidents lightly.

Again, I didn’t know.

‘If you improve your class image little by little like this…’

You could have children to help you later when you are attacked by a non-virgin heroine.

Anyway.

“Hmm. Covering a colleague. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a child like you among wizards. Okay. I’ll take care of it this time. I hope this doesn’t happen in the future.”

“I’ll be careful. Thank you.”

Fortunately, it seems to have worked well for this elf professor.

The sharp professor’s momentum has softened somewhat.

‘So handsome. No. Is it pretty?’

Ian went to the edge of the group of students and stood.

‘Hmm?’

I could feel the gaze.

I looked around and saw Lina standing a little further ahead.

I glanced over here, and when I met her eyes, I was surprised! She does and looks back.

‘…Why is that?’

I ignored it lightly.

The professor’s words continued immediately.

“Okay, now that everyone has arrived, let’s start class! I think everyone has fully understood the concept of Through the theory class.”

Unfortunately, Ian never knew that.

In , It was the concept of reconnaissance, search, and ending with a single ‘click’.

‘Do I really have to die?’

That kind of expectation was quickly shattered.

“As you know, life can be dangerous in the Shadow Forest that we will explore today. Uncontrolled monsters may appear. In that case, send a rescue request quickly.”

Ah. This is the ‘Shadow Forest’.

It is a forest that is responsible for all kinds of gloomy atmosphere in the game.

It’s probably because it’s right next to the school, so it’s good to create that kind of atmosphere.

‘Disappearance, death by monsters… And even murder.’

Ian’s pupils shook slightly as he recalled the hideous setting related to the place.

“The time is until 5 o’clock when the sun starts to set. During that time, you have to find a magic object hidden in the forest or find a specific magic mark. Do you have any questions?”

Lina asked brightly.

“Hey… What about lunch?”

“Wahhahahahaha!”

“As expected, Lina!”

“There are many things you can eat in the forest. However, if you can, avoid eating mushrooms. There are many poisonous things around this time of year.”

The professor who finished the answer declared like that.

“Let’s all form teams of two!”

… No.

Suddenly, a group of two?

Ian flinched as he was about to walk into the woods.

‘I’d rather be alone.’

Suddenly, I remembered my childhood gym class.

What if I am left alone? That desperate tension.

‘In this case, half the number is an odd number…’

As expected.

The teacher said, “Ah, make a group with three people.” My only hope is to tell you this. Or “Joe is numbered!” Or something

But Ian shook his head.

The age of such vain hopes has passed.

Isn’t it embarrassing for a while anyway?

I just flinched for a moment because of my childhood trauma.

‘Pongpong’s heart, which hated this kind of thing with a bamboo sword, must have remained in the body.’

Originally, all peers in this age group are like that.

The result is decided anyway.

‘Let’s take it proudly.’

I am alone anyway.

It’s not because I’m wrong.

It’s because of the previous karma.

In the midst of this, Ian was winning mentally.

“……”

Lina glanced at her Ian.

◆

“……”

A glance.

As soon as the word 2 in 1 comes out,

Lina looked at her Ian.

It was Ian who broke into a cold sweat from embarrassment whenever the group making class came to an end.

At the same time, I used to do tricks to somehow become a group with Lina.

You roll your eyes. Sneaking closer this way

But there was always a lot of friends around her who rushed at one step, so that wouldn’t happen.

‘Why not today?’

It was a reflective question.

Apparently, the present Lina had no choice but to be concerned about her every move of Ian.

Lina unconsciously bit her lip.

“Lina, where does it hurt?”

“Oh? Huh? No. No. hehehe.”

Lina hurriedly regained her smile.

‘…She thought she would never come back.’

She was surprised.

When Ian appeared again.

And she made a promise.

Let’s just think of people who don’t exist.

‘But that doesn’t work.’

It has changed too much.

She used to be the kind of kid who would occasionally look back and make eye contact with her. Even though she’s staring at me like this now, she never makes eye contact with her.

Rather, if it doesn’t work, just do it alone. I feel a certain amount of freedom.

‘… I can’t do it this way.’

As expected, the fact that people changed in an instant was quite worrisome.

Lina swallowed her saliva.

‘Every environment is perfect.’

Search practice.

Besides, the place is Shadow Forest.

Even the team composition is a group of two.

There couldn’t be a more perfect opportunity for just the two of you.

‘If you go deep into the forest, no one will notice.’

Lina nodded her head lightly. She

She seemed to be.

“Do you want to come with me?”

“Ahahahaha… Sorry!”

She rejected her friend’s offer with a laugh.

Then she turned to Ian.

There was no smile left on her face.

One step.

Two steps.

Lina walked towards her Ian.

Her tightly clenched fists turned red as if she had promised something.

Just like that, the moment left until Ian’s side.

—

“…?”

Someone passed Lina by her side.

Then, he clung to Ian.

“Ian! Let’s team up with me!”

Lina stopped on the spot.

No.

That Ian has a child who wants to team up with him?

I couldn’t believe it.

‘Besides, I came here like this…?’

I forgot. Flash.

Lina stared blankly at the scene before her eyes.

I’ve never had anything like this before.

What should I do?

Her hair went white.

That moment.

Exclaimed the professor.

“The redhead student alone there.”

Who is the red-haired student who is alone?

‘…Ah. It’s me.’

Lina’s head turned to Professor Kiririk.

“Did Lina not be able to find her teammates?”

The professor said.

Lina looked around her.

Everyone had a pair.

… What is it?

Am I the only one without a team?

Her eyes gradually turned to bewilderment.
