chapter 27
27 – Pass (1)
“Sonia, breaking news.”
“What else?”
“There is nothing to do.”
Sonia sighed and nudged me.
“Isn’t it almost time?”
“Yes, but…” .”
Rustila and I decided to do some light exercise until the announcement of passing was announced.
Of course, Seti gave Rustilla a stern warning: ‘Don’t be alone with him’… That’s none of my business.
The important thing is that my relationship with Rustilla is not bad.
At least they have preconceptions as soon as they hear my name.
Screaming and running away.
He spits out spit and curses and then splatters.
… I wasn’t that type of person.
He is a person without prejudice.
How good is this?
Even if you don’t necessarily want to make him a colleague in the task force to prevent the destruction of the universe, he is the number one personality you want to have as a friend.
Anyway, that’s it. After working out, there was nothing to do.
Gravity bomb research?
I am doing it little by little.
However, a gravitational bomb cannot be created just by reading and appreciating research papers or other people’s papers.
The priority is to enter the scientific community and conduct experiments and experiments directly. Even if you have a good idea, if you can’t experiment with it, it’s just a delusion in your brain.
Taking that into consideration, it means that it is boring.
Moreover, I am anxious.
Honestly speaking, no matter how much of a manly mind I have, I feel like my eyes will turn upside down when I see the three letters ‘failed’.
Anxiety about uncertainty is a human instinct. It was something that was imprinted in my DNA, so I couldn’t completely shake it off.
So, I have no choice but to concentrate on other things.
I dressed lightly and went out to the meeting place.
***
Even Stellarium Academy does not use the entire artificial planet as an educational institution.
Some parts are commercial districts.
Some parts are industrial districts.
Some parts are also residential areas.
Some of them were densely populated with military and medical facilities. Therefore, it was not surprising that there was a park that everyone could use comfortably.
“… Eidel!”
I heard a voice calling me from somewhere. As I turned my head in that direction, I immediately felt suffocated.
A girl wearing a white training suit was there.
Even though the top was completely covered, the body shape was revealed. It seemed like he was wearing something one size smaller than the original.
The bottom was even more serious than that.
Light gray tight-fitting leggings. The beautiful legs are clearly visible. Elegant. It’s elegant. It is enough to stimulate the s*xual desires of many men.
Lou Stilla usually wore her clothes loosely, including cardigans. So she didn’t know it, but she was incredibly mature for someone her age.
“Here, here!”
It was not easy to look at the girl waving her hand dressed like that. So she looked up at the sky. It seemed like the Korean police would come from beyond the universe at any moment. So will it be possible to return to Earth?
Illegal thoughts are flowing out one after another.
I took a deep breath. I erased all the distracting thoughts. I controlled my mind and body. Water according to water, fire according to fire. Instead of the Heart Sutra, which I did not know, I recited the pi and cut myself off from the world.
[— ‘The God of Wisdom and Curiosity’ sighs.]
Whoop.
It was then that a good scent washed in like a tide.
“What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
The voice was heard from one side, then from the other.
Rustilla was circling around me with a worried look on her face. I shook my head and returned to my normal self.
She immediately smiled. He seemed to be in a very good mood today.
It was a strange thing. I can’t believe Rustilla is smiling.
Now that I think about it, the dark circles have disappeared and my skin seems to have become fairer. It looks like he slept a lot after the entrance exam.
But there was a laugh that couldn’t be explained by such biological things alone.
I asked because I was curious.
“Thanks to you.”
Rustilla grinned while saying those words.
“I did well in the interview.”
“… Okay?”
It seems like the Android smashing show worked well.
“Yes. “Did you enjoy Idel too?”
Rustila asked back. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Let’s talk while we walk.”
It’s no one else, it’s Rustilla. A girl with Vega as her background. Lying doesn’t work.
It would be better to tell the truth.
“I’m screwed.”
“Failed? How much?”
“Well, I ended up talking too much in front of the interviewers.”
I briefly told the story of what happened at the interview.
My face felt hot as I spoke. It’s probably not because Lou Stila looks pretty in her workout clothes.
“Oh, my pride is hurt.”
“It will even hurt your pride. Ah, before that… ….”
Rustilla naturally changed the topic. They probably thought there was a chance I wouldn’t pass.
“… “I heard there’s a famous pasta place over there.”
“Really?”
“Yes. He said there was a good steakhouse over there. “I heard the potatoes served on the side are well fried.”
While walking around the park, we mostly just talked about the restaurant.
It is quite possible. If you pass, the entire area around here will be a commercial district. It looks like there are a lot of delicious things to me.
I thought about bringing her younger brother with me later. If you want to resolve the resentment that has built up against Seti, you will have to start with such trivial things.
Lu Stila followed her words and she did one lap, two laps, three laps….
“… “It’s a little bit difficult.”
I said out of breath. Lou Stilla, who was walking casually next to her, tilted her head.
“It’s four wheels now, right?”
“Wait a minute, I feel like I’m going to die….”
“We have to fill ten laps.”
Ah, the plague.
By the time I completed five laps, I started to feel sharp pain in my legs. By the time six laps were completed, it became impossible to talk to Rustilla at all.
By the time she was seven laps old….
“Hey, is it okay for a man to talk like this?”
Lou Stilla pushed her back. There was no time for her pride to be hurt. It’s just, it’s so f*cking hard.
“It’s the eighth lap. “Hold on a little more.”
It’s strange. Obviously, blowing off the heads of monsters wasn’t this hard.
“Nine laps. “Just one more lap.”
Now my hair is pure white. Sweat poured down like rain. She has already lost all her stamina after just jogging.
Actually, this was my first time doing aerobic exercise with this body.
“Ten laps!”
“Whoa, whoa…” It’s done, right… ?”
“For a first time, I have good stamina. “Let’s do one more lap, no, two more laps.”
“…… Ah.”
I saw the devil.
Yes. Thinking about it. Rustilla. By nature. He was a soldier.
If you are a soldier. Even when he works out. People. Like a soldier. Just rolling it. Uh?
f*ck, did I make a mistake… ?
“Fifteen laps! Isn’t it great? “This is enough to do twenty laps!”
Approximately 10 minutes per lap. Repeat that fifteen times. In other words, I ran at a speed of 8 km/h without stopping for two and a half hours.
My heart feels like it will explode. The five internal organs are distorted. A cold sensation filled my lungs. Neck, back, forearms. There is no place that is not damp.
Please save me.
Is it because you thought that way?
“Hey, what are you?”
A voice of salvation was heard.
It was the voice of a woman jogging on the other side.
She walked in front of Rustilla and me and stopped. Silver hair dances in front of my blurred vision.
“What are you doing here?”
It’s a familiar voice. A tone that gives off a strong, poisonous feeling just by listening to it. I, who had been walking while looking at the ground, slowly raised my head.
Standing there was a girl wearing a sports T-shirt and dolphin pants.
He was short, but his proportions were perfect. As if it was made by God. It was enough to make people who met him feel noble.
Zernia von Adelbein.
I tried to call her name, but her voice wouldn’t come out. The vocal cords are in a drought. There was a taste of iron in the back of my throat.
“… Who?”
“Who are you?”
Meanwhile, a confrontation between the two girls began.
“You sure you don’t know who I am?”
It was Zerna who went first.
“…… “Really who?”
“Ah, you… right. It did. I know you. “A girl who was in the same exam room as this guy at the time.”
She also criticized Rustilla, whom she met for the first time, in a rude tone. In other words, looking down on others is Zernia’s biggest characteristic.
But I don’t know about Zernia.
She wondered who she had touched now.
“Anyway, I don’t have to explain who I am….”
“… ….”
“… What. “Why aren’t you answering?”
“… ….”
“That’s amazing. “You don’t even look surprised when you see this hair and these eyes.”
“… ….”
“Don’t you know that I am Adelbein’s direct descendant?”
1 Second, 5 seconds, and 7 seconds respectively.
The time it takes for Lu Stila to turn on her ‘inner eye’ and ‘mind’s eye’ and completely analyze her opponent.
“You’re such a naughty boy.”
Rustilla counterattacked. A cool and heavy room. Zernya’s face went blank after being hit by her uppercut.
“What?”
“Let’s go, Eidel. “I think jogging is enough.”
Rustila grabbed my arm and dragged me. In this way, when she met a villain named Lu Still, she tended to immediately avoid her place.
“Hey, what, what? Are you ignoring me now? What the… !”
The sound of running from behind.
Zernya came close to me and spoke in a quarrelsome tone.
“I guess he got a girlfriend in the meantime? “I didn’t even pass the exam, but I’m so carefree!”
My girlfriend.
Right now, I’m so tired that I can’t tackle him even if he makes that noise. There was nothing good about being involved with Zernia anyway.
Go away from the chapter boss.
I’m going to take a short break….
“Hey, you. “You don’t know that it will be announced a little later, right?”
“Aidel, would it be a good idea to have an early lunch?”
“What? Look at this? “Ignoring it completely?”
“I think the ‘Le Carbonere’ I mentioned earlier will be good.”
“That pasta place? “It’s so tasteless there.”
“I’m hot, so it would be better to wash and eat.”
Zernia must have been scratched by Rustila’s words and brushed off the quarrel with her.
At this point, my thinking was somewhat clear.
And I couldn’t help but feel strange that Zernya was more passionate and aggressive than her original personality.
Yes, it’s strange.
Was he always this persistent?
[— Reminder: Accept the quest reward!]
… As I was thinking about this, such a message appeared before my eyes.
