Chapter 8
Wearing the uniform of the Knights Faculty, Irene was standing at the bus stop of the first-year girls’ dormitory.
‘Is it Friday already?’
I used to live a boring life, but these days it feels like a long day.
Because of my fiance, Theo.
Crackling, rumble-
The sound of a circular carriage starting to be heard in the distance.
The circular carriage was still in a distance that the eye could not see, but
‘······· Is there still that person today?’
He reflexively turned his head towards it.
‘Why am I like this?’
Previously, my routine was simpler than anyone else’s.
To the extent that people around you often ask with a serious expression, ‘What do you do for fun?’
I turned down countless suggestions from my classmates to go on a blind date together.
He rejected all the courageous confessions of his classmates, seniors, students from other departments, and even assistant professors.
The engagement article went out briefly without a single picture, and I thought it was because I didn’t tell anyone at the academy about my fiancé’s existence.
Some time ago, there was a motive that boldly confessed that he would become a greater person than Walderk.
Of course, that’s nonsense.
Walderk is a master gate.
If you unilaterally break your engagement, bad things will surely happen.
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t accept that feeling.
Of course, I had no intention of accepting it.
So I distanced myself from my surroundings.
Other comrades enjoyed the romance of fresh newbies, such as getting together to eat something sweet, joining a club and having a date with a handsome senior, or having a blind date with another faculty.
Ever since I entered the school, except for sleeping hours, I sweat at the training ground.
Dormitories, classrooms, canteens, training grounds.
I didn’t go anywhere other than the four above.
There is only one reason to live such a simple life.
To enter the Imperial Knights Templar.
The top graduates of the Faculty of Knights are entitled to join immediately without any conditions.
Then there would be a possibility of breaking the engagement with him, which the family had arranged at will three years ago.
‘Walderk….’
The family of the fiancée ‘Theo’, Balderk, spreads power across the continent beyond the Empire.
My family, Aslan, is also a famous knight family, but only within the Empire.
It is insignificant compared to the great gate of Balderk.
In other words, it cannot be broken in the usual way.
Still, my fiance, Theo, is really a nerd.
It is itself.
As a result of looking at it separately, he also had the lowest grades, so he would be expelled from school sooner or later.
If that’s the case… if I were to establish a firm position within the Imperial Knights Templar.
Is a divorce possible?

Fortunately, there is hope.
A dry life has rewarded me.
Last semester, I was the senior in the grade.
was not conceited
Rather, during the last two months of vacation, I did not return to my family, but stayed in the dormitory and swung my sword.
Even now, two weeks after the start of the class, most of the classmates are still talking about the experiences they had during the vacation.
But I have no such fond memories of pink.
In order to forget him, who is deeply entrenched in his heart, he has only one memory of wielding a wooden sword at the training ground.
lonely and lonely
It was a continuation of the days when I wanted to hold onto anyone and shout that it was hard.
However, without showing off to anyone, he held up his sword and swung his sword.
As a result, now professors, instructors, classmates, and seniors, everyone.
I know it as a cold-blooded cold that doesn’t come out a drop of blood even if it stabs me.
One professor even wiped away tears, saying, ‘I’ve never seen a student working as hard as you since I became a professor’.
·······I am not that kind of person at all.
It’s all because of that person, Theo.
‘Why were you so naive?’
When I first saw him at the engagement ceremony three years ago.
I fell in love at first sight.
It was then that I first learned the meaning of the word “light”.
It seemed that the universe was contained in the ruby-shining eyes.
He turned me, a tomboy, into a scoundrel just by standing still.
Even at that time, he was often criticized as lacking in many ways to be a hero, but it didn’t matter at all.
rather good
I thought I could change him.
When I thought of painting him with my own color, I even shed a pointless laugh like ‘hehehehe’.
Because in my heart, he was a shining warrior and prince.
But as he gets older, as his pods peel off at his ugly face.
He faced the truth he had been ignoring.
It’s too hard to change him.
No, it’s impossible.
When I first faced the truth, I stayed in my room crying all week, skipping meals.
That guy is the best gnome in history, full of pretentiousness.
Reincarnation is absolutely impossible.
I hacked the warrior in my heart.
Still, his feelings for him did not disappear.
Still deep in his heart, he shone softly.
But the human mind is very strange.
Seven months ago, after the incident, while waiting for the academy admission, the feelings for that person that were so indelible.

Faded away in an instant.
‘·······But why are you so concerned?’
In my mind, I thought that the hero who was brutally mutilated had no crumbs left.
I thought that the burning heart had already burned and turned into ashes.
I can’t wait to see him all day, only when I go to school in the morning.
Hui Yi-ing
The circular carriage, which was running at high speed, awakened my thoughts.
The wind blew.
I boarded the circular carriage, leaving my hair fluttering.
‘······· I wish there was no.’
Contrary to wish, his eyes naturally turned to the back seat where he was sitting each time.
·········.
have.
He, Theo, is in the same place.
‘I’m reading a book today. Where are you going? The bag is very heavy today.’
It was amazing.
He will work hard dozens of times over the past three years, now he’s made up his mind, etc.
He fluttered with his mouth alone, and it didn’t last more than three days.
No one would be so inconsistent with the word persistence.
But today is the 5th day.
the longest record
I seem to wake up early in the morning.
Even last semester, I had never seen a face in the circular carriage.
‘Come now, why suddenly… are you doing that? why?’
[I will leave.]
Everyone at the stop got on board.
profit, profit-
The circular wagon starts.
There are five people standing, including me.
The only empty seat is the seat next to him.
However, because he was famous as a character destroyer, no one sat next to him.
Of course, I didn’t sit down either.
No, I don’t want to sit.
Then you will think that you have forgiven yourself.
‘···I have erased you now.’
I stood still, looking at him.
Suddenly, looking at him reading a book became a habit.
I turned my head to the side and looked at him openly.
I don’t know if I’m immersed in it or if I’m thinking of something else.
He hasn’t even looked at me since Monday.
By the way,
“······································································!
He raised his head and his eyes met.
Whoa!
He turns his head hastily.
It was an unconditional reflex action.
‘Ahhh······! Uh, what should I do…!’
I was so ashamed.
In an instant, his face heated up.
My heart is pounding in shame.
‘Heh, heh heh heh heh…’
Has it been 5 minutes? It seems to have calmed down quite a bit.
······ Now that you are reading the book again.
I turned my eyes to look at him.
“!!”
He was still looking at himself.
I was surprised.
Just like when I was a kid, when I saw a ghost and cried.
Still… it’s very annoying to turn my head like I did before.
You may think that you are conscious of yourself.
So, without turning my head, I caught his gaze.
Just like when I fell in love at first sight when I was young, my ruby-red eyes were heavily sunk.
The dry eyes that didn’t feel any emotions seemed to say, ‘I also erased you’.
I don’t know why, but I feel like crying.
But I endured.
I can’t do anything shameful anymore.
I’d rather die than that.
I hold back my tears so tightly,
“Sit down.”
His clear voice is heard.
“······uh?”
said to me
He was looking right at me.
* * *
[This stop is in front of the Faculty of Heroes. As a reminder, this stop is in front of the Faculty of Heroes. When you get off, be sure to bring your belongings and get off.]
bum bum, bum bum.
I put my major books in a large bag and got off the wheelbarrow.
Today is the long-awaited Friday.
It’s the day we leave to collect Hidden Peace.
By the way… Irene.
he’s so scary
I thought I’d keep my distance, but she stood there as if contemplating how to kill me, glanced at me every day.
I couldn’t ignore it.
It felt like something had to be said.
I couldn’t think of a proper word, so I suggested that I not sit down.

Fortunately, Irene sat down next to me.
But as soon as I sat down, she stared at me and said nothing.
There seemed to be anger in her eyes that met her.
It is said that wild beasts subdue their prey with just their eyes.
I desperately felt the emotions of the prey.
I couldn’t even say anything.
🥺
No matter how much you hate it, there’s no point in looking at you like that just because you talked to him once.
Theo, what’s wrong with this bastard?
Before entering the academy, I don’t know.
“Woo…
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind.
And I looked at my watch.
The current time, as expected, is 8:40.
let’s go
Noctar will be waiting for you to tell us about a problem you don’t know.
