The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

11 – {Minst Academy, and Reunion}

{Minst Academy, and Reunion}

The day to study abroad at Minst Academy has finally arrived.

After saying goodbye to her family, Yuria, who came to the 2nd Academy, had to soothe Ashley, who was holding her back and crying.

“Ugh~ YuRia. Have a good trip. Don’t forget the gift when you come back.”

“Whoops, I got it. Stop crying, Ashley.”

Yuria soothed her friend with a gentle smile as she held onto herself and couldn’t stop her tears. Although she was a talkative person, she genuinely liked her friend, whom she was genuinely sad to part with for a while.

“I’ll write to you often, so don’t cry too much.”

“Whisper, do you really have to?”

“Yes! I will always be looking forward to your letter.”

“Yes! YuRia, I will definitely write letters often!”

As Yuria said goodbye to her friend, wailing sounds came from not far from her.

“Ahhh! Don’t go, Theodore!”

“Ah, what shall we do if Theodore goes! Hey!”

“Theodore, I will miss you. aaa!”

It was the sound of the female students following him, crying over the fact that they wouldn’t see Theodore this school year. YuRia thought that she didn’t want to hear that sound, so she unconsciously frowned at her slightly beautiful face.

“Yuria, is it a problem that her fiancé is too popular?”

Ashley asked intrigued, even though the marks of her tears were still visible.

As expected, seeing her friend enthusiastic about such things, Yuria came up with the idea that she was like Ashley.

She probably draws a line from women, but she must have expected the look of her jealous friend Yuria while watching her fiancée Theodore, who was seduced by women.

“He wasn’t interested in the first place.”

Even if she gave a long explanation, it was clear that she would interpret it with a strange twist, so Yuria only spoke briefly like this.

And before Ashley could react, she saw Theodore approaching her, and Ashley quickly shut her mouth.

“Princess Yuria.”

“…Prince Theodore.”

After calling each other like that, their eyes met for a while. Then Theodore smiled and held out his hand.

“Empire of Britannia, Minst Academy. Even if you go there, if you think you’re in danger, tell me anytime. I’ll bet my everything to protect you.”

Towards her fiancée, he was the head of the Jeha Academy and even said to be the greatest genius in the history of the Arkhan Empire.

Ashley said “Oh my God!” While doing this, I could feel her laughing with her tear-stained face, or seeing Yuria with envy and jealousy in her eyes as countless female students exclaimed.

“I’ll take care of you for now.”

Yuria, who had already given up on protesting, decided to just accept it.

It was the same that I didn’t like him, but even if I didn’t like his intentions, I was grateful for his teaching.

“Can you even say I’m indebted to you? If that bothers you, don’t do anything that puts you in danger. I’ll protect you, but… I can’t always be watching.”

Theodore’s words sounded very sweet.

However, Yuria felt that unlike his smiling eyes, she was very cold.

And she was able to interpret Theodore’s meaning this time too.

‘You mean don’t do dangerous things so I don’t bother you. I’ll keep the promise, because of the responsibility, but it means that it’s just that far.’

However, unlike Yuria who interpreted it this way, the female students accepted Theodore’s words as they were and burst into sighs.

“Ah, I hope.”

“Princess Yuria really has it all.”

“Looks, body, family, and abilities are all good, but even her fiancée is Mr. Theodore…”

“What a blessed life.”

Jealous gazes poured out toward Yuria, but Yuria was used to such gazes.

In the first place, these gazes were also one of the reasons she chose to study abroad in the Britannia Empire.

Even though she rose to the second position of the swordsmanship department, in a situation where she was not noticed, she would show how successful a swordsman she was even if she went to study abroad only with her own efforts, without the background of the Duke of Arsane.

Theodore looked at YuRia for a moment as she made up her mind.

* * *

Theodore and Yuria’s movement was to move to the Minst Academy at once through the teleportation magic circle.

Originally, the country was different, and in order to prevent crime, etc., Inside the academy, all kinds of forces that interfered with space were blocked, and teleport magic was no exception.

However, it was possible to temporarily permit the use of teleport magic by linking the teleport magic circle prepared inside the academy at a specific time, and in that way, Theodore and Yuria were now going to the Minst Academy.

“Yuriah!!”

Watching her Ashley say goodbye to her one last time, Yuria shook her hand and said goodbye to her.

“Theodore Niyim!”

“Nooooo, see you next year!”

“Please remember us!”

However, the emotion that felt sadness at her brief breakup with her friend was disturbed by the appearance of women who were followers of Theodore, who were crying and saying goodbye to her.

“…Is it popular?”

Yuria poked at him, but Theodore was calm. He said as if he had no interest.

“It can’t be helped. It’s only natural for a sun that is of a different rank from them, and even a person of a different gender, to go to the point of worshiping them out of admiration.”

“…Ha ha.”

Yuria let out a slight sigh, unable to understand the psychology of the women who followed Theodore. I couldn’t believe he could be so enthused when he didn’t even give me a drop of affection.

Anyway, with the last farewell, the two entered the building with the teleport magic circle and stood on top of the magic circle as instructed.

“Now, we’ll start slowly. It may cause some dizziness, so please be careful with the two of you.”

The wizard who manages the teleport magic circle mentioned the precautions like a manual.

“Yes, I understand.”

“I am preparing.”

After hearing Yuria and Theodore’s answer, the wizard nodded.

“Okay, then let’s begin.”

Then, as the magic circle was activated, the magic circle where the two were standing began to emit light. With the feeling of being enveloped in dazzling light, the figures of Yuria and Theodore disappeared inside the J.H. Academy.

The place where the two appeared was an unfamiliar place.

This place where many people were gathered was also inside a certain building, but I could see a teleportation magic circle on the floor.

“Welcome, welcome to Minst Academy. Princess Skylord, Princess Arsene.”

An old man with a long white beard and a wizard-like appearance welcomed the two with a smile. Seeing the mention of Minst Academy, the teleportation magic had successfully succeeded, and the two had arrived at Minst Academy.

“Theodore Sky Road.”

“This is Yuria Arsane.”

Theodore and Yuria lightly introduced themselves, and the old man nodded as well.

“Yes, my name is Albert McDowell, the head of Minst Academy.”

The fact that he, as the dean, came out himself was a personnel appointment that took as much care as the status of the international students of the Archan Empire’s Jayha Academy in the Britannian Empire’s Minst Academy.

“The two of you have been registered as Minst Academy students for this school year, but… today is Thursday, so formal classes will begin next Monday. Until then, I recommend that you first get used to yourself and take a break. And From now on, please understand that I will not be able to speak the respectful language as I am a student.”

At Dean Albert’s words, Theodore nodded his head.

“I came here as a student, so I don’t have to worry about that part.”

“Ah, yes. No, then I will treat you as a student from now on.”

After answering that, Dean Albert looked at Theodore slightly surprised. Seeing his gaze as if looking at something strange, Yuria, not Theodore, asked first.

“Hey, Dean Albert. Why do you look at Prince Theodore that way?”

“Ah! Excuse me. No, excuse me. Actually, Prince Theodore’s voice… He resembles someone I know so much… I stopped being surprised.”

Saying that, Dean Albert still couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw Theodore.

That was the time.

“Isn’t J-Ha Academy’s international students coming soon?”

With a condescending tone, someone entered the building.

And the moment she saw the face of the person who came inside, Yuria was taken aback.

‘Prince Theodore and… Do they look alike?’

The man who entered the building with a bully-like attitude was a man with black hair and blue eyes mixed with green.

But the atmosphere felt was completely different. If Theodore gave off the impression of an arrogant genius overflowing with confidence, the man in front of him looked like a bully.

“Oh! Princess Arsane! I’ve heard the rumors, but the real thing is more than I imagined?”

Yuria’s complexion hardened with displeasure, and Theodore’s expression turned cold.
