Bullied but Popular

6 – Happy academy life 2

“Ah~ The kid is doing really well.”

Having said that, the boy squatted down and stroked Aren’s head.

“Hey, you can’t do that~ Shouldn’t you have to get out of the way when someone passes by? You kicked me without even knowing~”

“……”

Aren could not answer and looked at the boy with a blank gaze.

The boy thought Aren was scared and continued with a laugh.

“Ha ha ha, but it hurts to lose once, but the second and third will be worth it. Isn’t it?

“……”

Aren just listened to the male student in silence, expressionless, wondering what he was thinking.

The moment when the male student was excited about him and tried to follow him.

“Yubar.”

Carol called the male student’s name.

“Uh. Why Carol?”

“stop.”

“huh?”

“Stop it.”

“… ha~ I’m sure, if anyone hears it, they’ll know what I’ve done wrong. Hey Aren! You tell me! What am I…”

“hey.”

oh oh oh

The lifeblood flowing from Carol instantly turned the atmosphere in the classroom.

“If you don’t want to get beaten up, don’t you understand?”

“…..”

Yubaru, who was receiving Carol’s killing blows, was trembling without realizing it.

I tried to stop the trembling of my body as much as possible, but regardless of my will, my legs were shaking and cold sweat was flowing down.

Just when Yubar was getting more and more frightened, a voice of salvation was heard.

“I went as far as going to Valesia. Is it fun to bully the weak?”

“… Aaron.”

Aaron walked through the classroom door and stood in front of Carol.

“How about playing with me and not messing with the weak? Huh?”

“It’s your hobby to touch the weak. I hope you don’t treat me the same as you.”

“You’re right. A guy like you and I can’t be the same.”

Aaron said that and took a step closer to Carol.

“But I don’t only touch weak people, but every person I touch has never been stronger than me. Do you understand?”

“It’s still the same as living with your mind free. Isn’t it time to grow up?”

The moment Carol finished speaking, Aaron’s fist headed for Carol’s head.

dig

Carol, who easily blocked Aaron’s fist, was about to counterattack, but someone attacked Aaron first.

Ppaak chow aak

Tia’s kick pushed Aaron’s forearm away.

“Oh~ Tia, have your skills improved?”

“The madman…:

Tia glared at Aaron and said.

“Aaron I told you before. Next time you get on my nerves, I’ll kill you.”

“Didn’t I tell you too? That’s impossible.”

“Okay, once…”

“What are you doing!!!”

Just as Tia was about to attack Alon again, a man who appeared to be a professor entered the classroom and started shouting.

The voice was so loud that the bloody atmosphere flew away at once.

“You’ve been doing it very well since day one. You guys came here to play!!”

“……”

“……”

The voice was so loud that even Aaron stayed quiet as if he had no intention of refuting.

“Sit down right now! Conduct!”

At the professor’s words, the students quickly returned to their seats and began to sit down.

The professor also went to the desk and looked down at the students and started nagging them that they hadn’t finished yet.

“Yes, at your age, you can fight, but I’ve never fought from the first day of class in my 20 years as a professor…”

The professor said that and began to talk about his old days with a nagging voice.

There were some students who really showed signs of reflection in the faces of the students at how long they talked.

I didn’t hear anything about Professor Aren, the person in charge, but…

‘What did I do when I came to Bolridge…?’

Aren really began to think seriously.

It was an unbelievable situation for the first day of the academy.

To be honest, I couldn’t come to my senses, but Aren kept his composure as much as possible and looked back on what he had done so far.

Even if he rushed at it blindly saying he was pissed off, only Aren was likely to suffer.

And the result of step by step reviewing one’s own actions.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s nothing wrong.’

Aren stopped looking for his problems and started thinking about other problems.

“How will I live in the future?”

***

A week has passed since that happened.

Tia, who was sitting in her seat, turned her head for a moment and glanced at Aren’s seat.

Aren was blankly staring into space, blankly thinking about what he was thinking.

Then, there was a man approaching Aren.

f*ck!

“Hey, are you dumbfounded again?”

Yubar, who hit Aren in the back of the head, said sarcastically.

“That bastard is real.”

Tia, who was watching this, became angry.

That bat-like guy was harassing Aren every time Carol wasn’t in the classroom.

On the other hand, the problem was that Aren did not respond to what he was thinking and was only suffering from Yubar’s violence.

Seeing that, Tia felt both angry and sorry at the same time.

Because Aren’s situation now is indirectly, but she also has some responsibility.

So, when Aaron’s thugs tried to approach Aren, there were times when he personally came forward to block them, but strange rumors began to spread that he took care of the man he dumped out of pity.

Naturally, the number of people who touched Aren increased, and even those who did not know Aren began to speak ill of him.

Since then, Tia has not been able to step out recklessly.

Even if you tell the truth, as long as the engagement is included in the content, Aaron’s bullying will only get worse.

While Tia was contemplating how to resolve the current situation, she heard Yubar’s voice.

“This pathetic bastard plays with you, but doesn’t he say thank you? Huh? To be honest, where else is there other than me who plays with a boring bastard like you? Huh? Try reacting a bit~”

Tia couldn’t stand it any longer and screamed.

“Hey! You stupid bastard! Please do it in moderation! Aren’t you embarrassing!?”

“Hmm? Oh~ Are you taking care of Tia? Well, since you’re the one who confessed to yourself, are you taking care of her?”

“Where is this nerd calling names as if he’s friendly? A idiot who only chases after Aaron’s tail.”

“… What? This.”

“Yeah f*ck what! Tell me! What can you do to me?”

“…hah… f*ck”

Yubar nervously shoved Aren’s head roughly in annoyance and returned to his seat.

Seeing that, Tia was furious again, and this time she looked at Aren and said,

“And don’t you have any pride? Why do you live with suffering all the time?”

“……”

Aren just stared at Tia’s face with a blank expression.

Seeing that expression, Tia started to cry again.

“It’s not because you act so stupid! Aren’t men supposed to rebel a little? I’m frustrated by what I’m looking at…”

“you.”

Tia stopped talking when she heard Aren’s voice.

“You don’t deserve it.”

“what?”

“Are you, no one else, entitled to say that to me?”

“……”

Aren’s emotionless voice calmed the atmosphere in the class.

Aren continued to speak whether or not his eyes were focused on him.

“Aren’t you supposed to apologize to me first?”

“……”

“Do you know what you are doing right now?”

“……”

Tia couldn’t open her mouth because she had the illusion that Aren’s emotionless voice was piercing her mind.

“It’s hypocrisy. You’re not ashamed to shout at me?”

“……”

Tia couldn’t say anything.

***

3 days later at the 1st grade gymnasium.

“It’s a big deal.”

“Ummm…”

At Carol’s words, Luke drooled and lowered his head.

About three days ago, Karl heard from other friends what Aren and Tia were having in class.

‘I must have been more shocked than I thought…’

Tia was currently training swordsmanship in the gymnasium.

Not only now, except for class time, he had been swinging his sword almost all day.

Carol and Luke knew that Tia swung her sword like that every day when she had troubles or something bad happened.

“Is there any way for Carol?”

“How?”

“A way to cheer Tia up.”

“Well, it will get better with time…”

Luke shouted at Carol’s words.

“Aren’t you worried about Tia!?”

“I’m worried, but I don’t think I can help.”

“What? Why?”

“Because Tia has a fault too.”

“……”

Luke gradually hardened his expression and said.

“Are you saying that to your friend?”

“… Luke.”

Carol said with a calm expression.

“If you want to help Tia, show me something too.”

“What action.”

“You’re at fault too. Take responsibility.”

Luke’s body trembled at Carol’s words.

Luke is also involved in this case.

It wasn’t his intention, but he was in a position where he couldn’t say there was no fault, and he wanted to directly step on whether it was Yubar or Dolmani, but it wasn’t easy because Aaron was watching him.

‘I can’t even apologize to that bastard.’

In fact, there was a way to alleviate the rumors to some extent.

A public apology to Aren and declaring that the rumors came from him could alleviate the situation.

However, Luke also had very high self-esteem, befitting the material of the count’s family.

Luke, who did not bend his pride to others, could not bow his head for Aren, whom he usually did not like.

‘Honestly, it’s a bit exhilarating.’

Luke hid his thoughts and kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that, the moment Carol started talking to them, someone approached them.

“Hello freshmen.”

“Huh? Lia sister!”

“Hmm? Really.”

A beautiful girl with sky-light silver hair and golden eyes.

Cecilia Cloud.

A third year student at the academy and Tia’s older sister.

“Your sister is here!”

Carol was particularly happy and welcomed Cecilia.

Cecilia smiled lightly and looked at her sister, who was still brandishing her sword.

“I’m worried about my younger brother these days.”

“Ah… if that’s the case.”

“I know.”

“Oh yeah?”

Luke watched Carol’s reaction from a distance for a while.

Carol’s mouth raised as to what was so good about it, and she was explaining the situation once again to Cecilia, who said she knew the situation.

‘Is this guy…’

Looking at Carol, Luke seriously pondered for a while before coming to his senses when he heard Cecilia’s voice from the front.

“What are you doing Luke?”

“Hmm? Oh, no.”

Cecilia thought so and said.

“Tia and I will talk. You guys can go back.”

“… but.”

“Men get in the way.”

After Cecilia informed her, she walked over to Tia.

Carol smiled and went back with Luke.

“Is your sister here?”

Tia lowered her sword and looked at her sister as she approached her.

The older sister silently raised the wooden sword and signaled to come to her.

I immediately swung my sword at the signal.

Breaking love! Huung Huiik

So the two of them focused on Dalian without speaking for a while.

And after a while, Tia lay on the floor sprawled out as if in pain and gasped for breath.

“Heh, heh, heh, I’m going to die~.”

Cecilia looked at her sister and said,

“Tell me what you’re worried about.”

“You mean you’re going to give me advice on your worries? Your sister’s tone is the same…”

Tia smiled and shared her concerns.

“Actually, I told Carol first…”

After the conversation with Aren three days ago, Tia asked what had happened to Carol and told her the contents of the conversation.

While talking about it, she expressed her dissatisfaction, but in fact, Tia was also in a somewhat unfair position.

This is because Tia has never directly harmed Aren in this commotion.

But this time, hearing something from Aren made me feel stressed, so I ended up complaining to Karl.

After listening to Tia for a while, Carol spoke in a serious tone.

‘Don’t be offended Tia, can you listen? I’m sure you know that you’re unhappy too. But in Aren’s position, you and Aaron will only be seen as perpetrators…’

After that, Karl told Tia the situation in Aren’s situation.

At first, he was a little saddened by Carol, who didn’t take his side, but as he said, in Aren’s situation, he seemed to only see himself or Aaron as the perpetrator.

“Well, so I was thinking about various things… Should I say that I’ve been resolving the current situation and looking back at my usual actions?”

“……”

Cecilia listened to her sister without saying anything.

As if it didn’t matter, Tia continued talking about herself, like a younger sister fooling around with her older sister.
