I Became an Academy Blind Archer

38 – Life is a battle (1)

Tia is signing a forced contract like that.

As I watched him, I continued to smile with satisfaction.

‘It’s going well as planned.’

In the original work, Tia was not actually spared.

As Lillia said earlier, didn’t you make it a death process in the cave?

However, this is reality, not a game.

It is necessary to use all that is available.

‘It’s a bit of a pity to buy the contract with points, though.’

I don’t think it’s bad if you think of it as an investment for the future.

-Unlike the appearance, the disciple is really thorough. Not bad though.

At that time, Mirole let out a shallow sigh and gently stroked the top of my head.

Then, she continues her words.

-Don’t carry it on your own too much. Because I am with you by your side.

Anyway, it seems that he felt a sense of incongruity with my bold actions recently.

I quietly nodded at her words.

To be honest, Miroel is helping her mentally thanks to being by her side.

At that time.

“I had a hard time. Baran.”

Lilia approached with slow steps.

I looked at her and asked.

“Have you signed a contract?”

“Yes, now you will never betray me.”

I can feel the fear in Tia’s eyes, whether that statement is true.

Anyway, it seems that the contract was completely thorough.

“Then, shall we go back now?”

Lillia crosses her arms at me with her eye smile.

I tilted her head at those words.

“Aren’t you going to make amends?”

“Oh, that’s what Tia is going to do here, so don’t worry. Right?”

“Yes, yes!”

What kind of contract was it that made that woman so frightened?

I tried to hold back my curiosity and changed the topic.

“By the way, how are you going to go to the academy? Isn’t it a bit far to walk?”

The original plan was to return tomorrow.

So I understand that the carriage is also reserved for tomorrow.

When I question it, she replies with an alluring smile.

“You don’t have to worry. It is said that Tia here arranged a wagon to quickly escape.”

“Ah.”

“Tia will finish her cleaning up today and report tomorrow in the wagon we reserved.”

“Yes.”

She nods her head at Lillia’s command.

Lilia saw her like that and waved her contract.

“You will know if I betray you, right?”

She shook her head violently at her words.

So that day, leaving Tia alone, we moved towards the carriage waiting at the entrance of the mountain.

***

Two people riding a carriage.

For a moment, an awkward air flowed between the two.

“·······.”

“·······.”

When the incident ended and only the two of us were left, nothing to say.

Lilia glanced at Baran, who was sitting quietly.

‘It’s really amazing.’

For some reason she feels at ease when she is with him.

Why on earth do I feel this way when I am with him?

She looked at his body with doubts.

Soon, I came to a conclusion.

‘Is it because of the snow?’

Merchant usually pays attention to customers.

When making a deal, for instance, he puts on a pretentious smile.

No matter how bad that feels.

However, if you are with Baran, there is no need for that.

He should be, isn’t he blind?

As a result, when he is with him, he doesn’t notice it more than others.

Sure, although he has to smile sometimes because of his quirks.

‘That’s also true to some extent.’

Unlike her dealings with customers, she mostly smiled sincerely in front of Baran.

Because she was genuinely interested in him.

‘Come to think of it.’

As she thought of Baran, memories of her that she had forgotten passed through her mind.

She turned her head to Baran, who was standing still beside her.

Then, she asked a question.

“Mr. Baran. Could you answer the question I didn’t ask earlier?”

“Hmm?”

“You didn’t forget, did you?”

She narrows her eyes suspiciously.

Then, she smiled kindly, as if Baran had obviously remembered.

“Are you referring to the question why are you helping?”

“Yes, that’s right. I thought you forgot, but did you remember?”

“Ahahahahaha. Of course.”

Actually, he had just forgotten about it, too.

“Let me ask you one more time. So why did you help? Surely Baran has nothing to gain by helping me, right?”

She looked up at him with sincere curiosity.

Actually, Lillia couldn’t understand why Baran helped her.

She’s not even friendly with her.

How much more can he gain by being cold-hearted by helping himself?

However, he helped her as best as anyone else in her life.

In addition, she even gave her an expensive magic contract, making her even more profitable.

She couldn’t help but question her as she was, seeing that she had never been favored by her for no reason like this before.

She’s never done her favor for no reason whatsoever she ever did.

As Lilia continues to stare, he tilts her head and opens his mouth.

“I rather don’t understand.”

“Yes?”

“What reason do you need to help her classmate?”

“·······.”

She shut her mouth at her unexpected words.

She thought, to be honest, there must be some reason.

For example, he wants to look good to himself.

She is a being called the daughter of El Dorado Company.

It is a fact known to all in the world.

But.

‘This is absolutely not the reason.’

Baran is blind, but his brain is not bad.

Perhaps Baran also noticed.

He knew something was going on between him and Hailun.

From Baran’s point of view, it must have been beneficial to unconditionally take the side of Hairun.

To put it bluntly, it’s easier to take the side of Hirun, who is the president of El Dorado.

However, Baran left such an easy path and helped himself.

Just for the reason of being a classmate.

‘If you think about it…’

It was the same in the last performance evaluation.

He rationally said that there was a way, but in fact, he took his time against Sherry, who was the most dangerous.

No matter how strong he is, winning against the brainwashed Sherry is absurd.

However, even so, he steadfastly remained and sacrificed himself.

‘This is the first time I’ve felt this way.’

Since she was adopted by Hairun, she has lived her life thinking only of gains and losses every time.

However, I did not expect that the day would come when I received help like this for no reason.

Lilia stared at Baran.

She doesn’t even know she’s staring at her, she wants to stare straight ahead.

What should she do to repay him?

‘It’s an elixir, of course, but it’s given.’

For some reason, I feel that this alone is not enough.

Her gaze naturally went to Baran’s lips.

At the same time.

‘Ugh…!’

Unknowingly, a naked thought came to her mind and her face began to heat up.

Anyway, kissing is very sudden.

So, the best she can do is.

– Side.

“?!”

A kiss on the cheek, not a kiss.

Baran is shocked by her behavior.

I kept looking at him and wondering why he was doing that, but he couldn’t even imagine that we would end up kissing him on the cheek like this.

“It’s the best expression of gratitude I can do right now.”

Lilia answered in a calm voice.

Unfortunately, however, her face was red, unlike the expression she had shown so far.

So on this day, the two of them lived awkwardly in the carriage until they arrived at the academy.

-Ugh! Disciple, don’t stop me today!

Of course, Miroelle threw her fists at Lilia, but she just got through anyway.

***

In that way, we got on the carriage and soon arrived at our destination.

We got off the wagon in front of the academy and immediately parted ways as each of us had something to do.

To be precise.

“I have something to do, so I have to go.”

Although Lilia ran away with her flushed face in contrast to her relaxed voice.

– You’re finally here. That fox

Miroel loves Lilia very much after seeing her disappear.

Anyway, it seems that Lillia’s kiss on the cheek was quite irritating to her.

‘Anyway, I was embarrassed too.’

Originally, the likability level rises a little, but isn’t there a case where Lilia openly engages in skinship?

I don’t know what the hell is causing her liking to rise so rapidly.

‘No. To be honest, I don’t even have time to date.’

With that in mind, she moved on to falsely report today’s events to Dale.

At that time.

“I hope.”

At the entrance of this building, Edin calls me.

I tilted my head at her Edin look.

“Have you already finished the tour?”

“Yes.”

At my question, he nodded her head slowly with a puzzled face.

What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?

“Did something happen?”

“That’s why the 2nd year senior told me to assemble at the training ground as soon as the 1st year class A class arrived.”

“Yes?”

What bullsh*t is that?

To think that a senior I had neglected until now is suddenly summoned to the training ground.

‘No, what kind of army is this?’

I opened my mouth with a sense of absurdity in my heart.

“Can I go to the training ground right now?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm. Then, before we go, I would like to ask you something.”

I made a request to Edin for something I didn’t know.

Then he nodded.

“Okay. Then I’ll call you right now.”

“Yes, please.”

With that said, Edin enters the building.

At the same time, I moved towards the training ground.

Then after a while.

‘I never thought I’d see my classmates receiving military discipline in another world.’

When I arrived at my destination, I laughed at the sight unfolding in front of me.

That should also be true, aren’t the classmates who returned from the field trip now lying on their stomachs?

At that time.

-Titling!

A notification message suddenly rang in my ear.

I raised the corner of my mouth as I saw the quest appearing in front of me.

I’m going to have to f*ck a senior today.
