chapter 17
17 – Love triangle (2)
No student looked down on Tsumei because of her youthful appearance.
At least one person might express doubt about the sudden appearance of a little child, but no one seems to do anything hasty.
Still, the guys who entered the academy through the extreme competition rate seemed to instinctively realize the gap with their opponents.
The pair of horns sprouting from Tsumei’s head must have played a part too.
I tilted my head as I gazed at the small horn with a faint golden glow.
‘I don’t think there was anything like that until yesterday.’
Still, I was able to quickly find the answer. Maybe it’s her own consideration?
If she decides to adjust her appearance to human standards and hides her energy, no one will really be able to recognize her true identity.
If you intentionally revealed the characteristics of a dragon in order to prevent an unfortunate incident that might happen in the unlikely event, it would be understandable.
Tsumei also doesn’t have a benevolent personality, so I don’t think she’ll leave a guy who’s ignorant in front of her…….
‘…… Hmm.’
I let out a sigh in my mind at the memories that flashed into my mind.
Come to think of it, I think I was quite informal with her, but it was certainly okay that I didn’t get hit by one of her. Should I say I’m happy with this?
‘That must mean that they look at me favorably.’
It seems that the favor is definitely bought out. In fact, I don’t think there was anything that could be called a trigger.
“Hmm… ….”
Anyway, at that point, Tsumei, who was needlessly holding the mood, let her voice flow again. Squinting her eyes, she clapped her hands a couple of times.
Clap clap!
“Well, I was going to set an example if there was a child who jumped at me without knowing anything. I’m glad everyone noticed so quickly. There is no need to waste your time.”
At those words, all the students in the classroom flinched reflexively.
As Tsumei said, no one had big thoughts like that.
But apart from that, every single word the dragon uttered, no matter how ordinary it was, was bound to put a lot of pressure on them.
That’s because this side was a chick, and the other side was a beast that could easily swallow dozens of such small animals in one bite.
It’s not that Tsumei is exuding something threatening about her right now, it’s just her fundamental perception of her.
Isn’t it the last dragon on the continent? It was no wonder that the still young students were intimidated.
Looking around, everyone was trying hard to control their expressions, but their eyes were shaking violently.
The proposition ‘Gold dragons do not harm academy students’ must have settled in my head as a kind of belief, so if I had to say it, that feeling wasn’t fear. Rather, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to express it as an unknown chill?
The rational will know.
In this situation, there is no reason for the gold dragon to harm them.
But emotions can be so simple.
Even if you know it with your head, you won’t be able to stop your heart beating in fear.
The difference between species and class. That sense of distance creates another proposition.
-That’s an existence that you shouldn’t dare to fight against.
To exaggerate a bit, it probably feels like this.
Right now, even if it was just me, my instincts were constantly receiving the senses that set off an alarm.
Actually, it has been like that since the first time we met. Tsumei doesn’t think much of it, but her shoulders are heavy just because her race is a dragon.
‘Of course, in my case, there must be no aspect that has been affected by dragon fear… ….’
Until now, I thought so.
But now that I think about it, maybe my reaction was rather good?
In the yard where there are guys who can’t make eye contact properly, haven’t I tried to continue the conversation.
In fact, we talked for quite a long time.
It’s nothing special, but I felt proud for no reason.
Anyway, just as I was thinking about that, I heard Tsumei’s voice once again.
“I’m sure you can guess, but I think it would be good to introduce yourself.”
After saying that and clearing her throat for a moment, she stood on her podium and pointed at herself with her tiny hand.
“A gold dragon or an extinct dragon, or the head of the academy. There are many titles, but in the end, they all refer to me.”
Her blue eyes shone even more sharply.
Next, I will add a short word.
“I am that Tsumei.”
After her appearance, the classroom, which had been quiet for a while, started to stir in an instant.
They kept their mouths shut just in case they didn’t know, but just looking at each other’s eyes, it was obvious that they were very embarrassed.
Of course, Tsumei seemed to have expected such a reaction.
Shrugging her shoulders casually, she continued her words in a calm voice.
“I don’t want to be formal, so it doesn’t matter if I call you teacher. Anyway, for the four years you will be living at the academy, I will be the teacher in charge of this class.”
However, despite such a calm voice, the turmoil inside did not subside. No, i couldn’t
On the contrary, it was bound to get worse.
The contents of Tsumei’s words were just as embarrassing.
To think that the gold dragon taught himself.
This has never happened since the academy was founded.
It was only natural that emotions of confusion appeared on the faces of the students.
‘Tsumei is the teacher in charge.’
Of course, I couldn’t be an exception to the chaotic atmosphere.
It can be relatively calm.
But I was also confused.
Still, I think I’ve been playing this game for quite some time. I played the game several times, applying different play styles.
As much as the time invested in the game is time, it was said that it had indeed passed through various turning points.
And, in any route I have gone through, there has never been a case where the dean, “Tsumei,” Has become the teacher in charge of the class the player belongs to. Not even once.
‘Did my actions change the development?’
I frowned for a moment, but I relaxed my expression thinking that it might be a natural change.
The more I come into this world and contact the main characters, the more things will go wrong.
The story won’t always go the way I know it.
It was a matter of course, and I was vaguely aware of it. There was no need to panic again.
In the future, I wouldn’t know if there was a big change that I couldn’t handle, but Tsumei’s active involvement in education wasn’t particularly negative.
It is strange, but it means that there is no reason to be afraid and act passively.
I decided to take it easy.
‘No matter what, the main story will flow without major changes.’
Could something happen? hahahaha.
*****
“Now, that’s why there won’t be a class change unless it’s for the most part. Well, that’s because there are only two halves. In this case, you are class A, and class B’s homeroom teacher is Helena, the ‘witch’ everyone knows. Classes will collide quite often, so keep this in mind…….”
Unexpectedly, Tsumei led her students well.
If you don’t have good speaking skills, you won’t be able to conduct classes in the first place.
Should I say that he has a strange charisma that naturally induces students’ concentration?
It seemed that the students were not overly wary of Tsumei, and the atmosphere in the classroom was rather mild.
First of all, since it was the first day, there were no classes or lectures on a specific field, so the time given was mostly spent with Tsumei explaining her life at her academy.
Of course, I didn’t pay much attention to it because I knew most of it.
There is no reason to pay attention to the small rules that you naturally learn when you are immersed in the game.
I had many other things to think about.
For example, Tsumei, who originally would not reveal her face to her normal students, became the teacher in charge of her class A. .
‘What will happen?’
I’m worried, but actually, this wasn’t such a serious problem.
It’s not something that will make a big difference in the ‘future’ of this world I know, and to be honest, it’s true that it’s a concern that I’m thinking about with the intention of killing time.
It was a risk I had to take anyway.
If you really wanted this world to go as it should, you wouldn’t have approached Tsumei in the first place.
‘After all, Tsumei approached me first.’
It was a time when her head was filled with useless thoughts, and her eyes were closed and opened repeatedly with her consciousness half awake.
Cook Cook-
“…… ?”
There was a guy who interrupted my thoughts.
At the touch of a finger poking his side, I squinted and turned my head.
As expected, it was Beatrice who happened to be my mate next to me.
She glared at me with her disapproving glance and gave me something of her own.
When I lowered my gaze to find something, it was a piece of memo.
-What are you thinking?
He started talking in a very cute way.
After looking at a short sentence written in a pretty handwriting for a while, I took her pen and started scribbling a few letters.
Beatrice rolled her eyes as if following the movement of the pen. It was as if her cat was chasing her string toy with her eyes, but she didn’t spit it out of her mouth.
She just finished her sentences and returned her notepad to her with the pen tucked into her nib.
Beatrice, who took her memo as if snatching it up, read my message.
-I was thinking of the saintess who became my lover since yesterday.
Kwajik!
Beatrice tightened her grip on her anger. The pen in her hand was about to shatter.
“Oops… ….”
I looked at the pen with an expression of pity.
I intentionally ignore Beatrice’s bloody gaze.
Of course, Beatrice, who was more enthusiastic, took out another pen from her bosom while grinding her teeth.
I gave a short exclamation. Do you keep dozens of spare pens in there?
-Please correct that nonsense immediately after the slaughter dragon leaves. If you don’t want to die
I laughed at the memo that came back.
I didn’t know it, but she was quite a teasing saint.
I couldn’t check it properly because Tsumei came in on the way, but I could understand what the misunderstanding was. Probably because of what happened in the tower last night.
As for the person concerned, it was embarrassing and embarrassing. Still, it was not an incomprehensible misunderstanding.
Should I say it was an exquisite timing or an exquisite composition?
At the time, the way Beatrice and I were bickering was just like that (?), So I couldn’t help it.
I returned the reply without thinking.
-Correction isn’t difficult, but isn’t that what’s important right now? There must be something else you’re curious about.
For a moment, Beatrice hesitated.
It was only then that he slowly let go of his venomous expression.
-Did you finally think to tell me? About that ‘method’.
Method here is nothing else.
A route that allows safe access to the depths of the basement where Flügel’s demonic sword is stored.
I promised Beatrice the day before that I would guide her to the location of the demonic sword.
It wasn’t a lie. In fact, I knew more than 120% of the strategy of attacking the academy underground.
If I was a little careful with the ‘golem’ that was guarding the final gateway, I could easily reach the demonic sword’s nose even with Beatrice.
‘Actually, it’s no different than half cheating, but if I can’t break through, that’s an idiot.’
Underground, there are a vast number of traps lurking beyond Beatrice’s imagination.
All of these are traps and spells designed and constructed by Tsumei himself, so it would be a lie if it wasn’t dangerous…….
To be honest, it had nothing to do with me.
You don’t have to know the structure or principles of magic circles. As long as you memorized the law of destruction, there was nothing wrong with it.
I smiled and grabbed the pen again.
I wrote a short answer and handed it to Beatrice.
Beatrice accepts the note with an uncharacteristically nervous expression.
She glanced at me once and then lowered her gaze.
“…… !”
It took just an instant for that tense expression to change to the exact opposite.
-500 Gold if you are curious.
Quick! I feel like I’m hearing a sound.
A tendon sprouted between Beatrice’s eyebrows.
“Pup, poo-up.”
I couldn’t bear to laugh openly, so I covered her mouth, but Beatrice was already looking up at me with her cold, dead eyes.
Still, I’m glad I didn’t break the pen this time. It’s a law to avoid pointless waste.
Hook!
Instead of that, a very dainty fist with golden holy power flew towards my side.
“… ….”
Huh?
