chapter 2
1. Not that kind of person
** 1. Not that kind of person
It’s embarrassing to say, but I’ve been bullied quite a lot in the original world.
When she was still immature and the top of her head barely reached her mother’s waist, she was loved by the girls of her age, and on the contrary, hated by men of all ages.
When he was 15 years old, when he was recognized as the squire of a certain knight as time went by, it was a daily routine to be beaten every night by the many senior squires who followed him. It was simply because he handled the sword better than his predecessors.
And when he was finally chosen as the kingdom’s hero and a party was organized to subdue the demon king…
**
‘If someone hates you, it’s because there’s a good reason.’
Based on my experience, I was able to continue thinking as calmly as possible. It’s a bit sad to say, but I wasn’t without tolerance for things like this.
“You should know this guy’s identity first… “
I muttered to myself, tapping the strange stigma on the back of my hand.
This was a big problem.
Others have already gone to the forces that will encourage and nurture themselves by hanging out with their immediate seniors, but I am the only one left who still does not know where I am from.
It was disastrous, and a small burning fire raged in one corner of my heart, but I had to suppress it for now and find a way to live.
But who should I ask for help?
“…..”
In the first place, I crossed the dimension and came to this middle dimension, ‘Academia’, but I couldn’t have any acquaintances. And given my current situation, it was clear that no one would want to mess with me.
Who would want to be close to the ugly duckling who has been branded by seniors for some reason since the entrance ceremony?
For that obvious reason, I got up and left the classroom.
Because just standing still wasn’t going to solve the problem.
First of all, I was thinking of simply walking around the campus. Then I’ll know, at least roughly, where I’m supposed to be.
When I went outside, the sky was still sunny.
“Sniff, I can still smell it.”
With no one around, the stench, which could not be completely removed earlier, was also removed. It wasn’t until after using life magic several times that a fragrant scent began to rise from the fabric.
Wait a minute to walk like that.
From afar, I spotted In-young walking with an armful of books.
I saw the name tag attached to her chest among the book covers shaking precariously. Blue. It is certain that he is a senior. This freshman had a white name tag in common.
I pondered for a moment watching the pile of books moving at a slow pace.
Should I help?
The worry was short-lived.
“…Is this an opportunity to ask questions?”
I crept up and thrust my hand into the tower of books that was about to collapse. I grabbed her slightly below the middle and lifted her up. In an instant, her body became lighter and she let out a dazed sound.
“Aww?”
After relieving her sigh, she turned bright, and when she found me, she hurriedly lowered her head.
I was worried that my face had already been sold here and there, but luckily it didn’t seem like that.
“Yeah… “
A mumbling voice was heard from under the bowed head. It was so small that I even thought it might be easier to hear the ants crawling.
“Thank you… I’m a little shy… Covered… “
“No, by any chance, which way are you going?”
At that question, she timidly pointed her index finger in the direction she had entered.
“The laboratory… “
Still, the voice was thin. Even though we hadn’t met for 10 seconds, I was able to quickly guess what kind of personality he was.
Looking at the tortoise neck, bent back, fair skin and thick dark circles, it was clear that he had been confined somewhere and hadn’t seen sunlight for a long time.
A slight sympathy arose, but it was not something to get involved in, so I smiled kindly.
My nose is three.
“Let me help you. Instead, could you introduce us to the school on the way?”
**
The senior’s name was Makia.
Her shyness didn’t tell me. I personally confirmed it with her name tag.
“Makia-senpai, then the real class starts in two days, right?”
“Ah, yes… First of all, choosing a circle is really important… “
According to her, freshmen start choosing the club they belong to the second day after they enter the school. Usually, a circle refers to a group of warriors from a similar worldview.
For example, fantasy is fantasy, and FPS is FPS.
However, it is not compulsory, and it is said that even warriors from other backgrounds can form a circle.
“Isn’t it true that only people from the same background can enter the circle?”
“Yes… But sometimes, people from similar backgrounds form circles…”
Makia nodded heavily.
“And you really need to decide which circle you want to join first… Because once a decision is made, it must be held for at least a year… “
“Really?”
“There are rankings in circles, and you get various benefits depending on your grades… “
“Benefits?”
When I asked for an explanation with my eyes, Makia, who moaned while touching her bangs for a long time, eventually gave up her explanation.
“…There is, that, something like that… “
It must be too much to walk around and explain.
I passed the topic.
“Then, will I also be tied to the agency from which I came from that fantasy? If you just listen to the explanation, it seems to be similar to the era I lived in.”
“Ah, yes, maybe…” No, my seniors didn’t come to pick me up… Me?”
Makia, who was answering with a mumble, opened her mouth as if she had suddenly thought of her.
“Ah, ah yes… Could you show me some stigma… “
“A stigma?”
“Yeah, it might be more helpful if you tell me where you are from… “
I looked down at the back of my hand. An obscene appearance, as if branded as a succubus.
Maybe it’s because of the many difficult things I’ve been through because of the stigmata, but now I feel ashamed and embarrassed just by looking at it, but now is the time to dig into my true identity.
Obviously, I still didn’t even know what my birthplace was called.
I tried my best to pretend to be calm and put the fancy-looking pattern in front of Makia.
“At first it looked like this. I haven’t heard what it’s called yet.”
“Let’s see… Uh huh? Uh?”
Kikkik.
As soon as the senior checked the pattern, he suddenly braked.
Maquiar was hardened to the point where I had no choice but to express it that way, and he looked at me and my arm alternately, becoming contemplative every moment.
“Eh, eh, Eros? Uh, why… “
I was even more flustered as I watched her face gradually become terrified.
“…Did I do something wrong?”
“Ah, ah…”
She rounded her back, which was already bent, and closed her eyes tightly. For some reason, she defended her own chest with her arms crossed.
Its quivering mouth spewed a rapid-fire cannon unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.
“Well, I’m not very girly, not attractive, fleshy, fat, and, well, not tasty…” !”
“Yes?”
“Bur, you will regret it if you do it, hehehe… I’m sure you’ll regret spending precious time on something like this. !”
Makia sobbed as if the world had almost ended. I don’t think it would be possible in this situation, but her appearance was insignificant and pitiful, like her hedgehog feeling threatened.
And before I could figure out what this was, a determined voice came down from the sky.
“As expected. Didn’t you see how everyone went differently?”
I reflexively raised my head. Even though it was the first time I had heard her voice, I knew who she was.
“Ha, with a bewildered expression. Why? Scared of being caught at a crime scene? This is a f*cking s*x offender. “
It was because of the back story that followed.
The culprit provoked throwing food waste from the entrance ceremony. Now that guy has appeared with his group.
“Come on, it’s time for everyone to work. I have to take out the trash!”
As the girl, who is like a leader, gives instructions by shaking off her gloves, students in the same uniform rush in from both sides of her.
Without even a moment to say anything, they were surrounded on all sides without even realizing it. In addition, all of them were wearing swords or armed, so they were quite intimidating when surrounded.
What is this? As she kept rolling her eyes, Makia, who was trembling beside her, exclaimed desperately.
“Mr. Winds!!”
“Ah, yes.”
The girl called Winds didn’t care about it and let out a makia cry.
“Would you like to step aside for a moment? It could be dangerous if you stay next to him.”
“Four!”
Even before Wins could finish his words, Machia serriedly fell away from me. Machia, who ran away quickly, disappeared over the students who surrounded me.
“…..”
What the hell did I do?
I was a bit genuinely shocked and was looking at the empty seat I had left, when I heard a triumphant voice in my ear.
“Now, as the anti-Eros vigilante commander, the summary judgment begins.”
“Very… what?”
“It means that I will torture you myself. Guys, what are you doing?”
When Wins made a fuss, two students on either side of her stepped off and came close to me.
I was looking at it, wanting to do something, but they suddenly broke my hamstrings with all their might.
“ㅡ Ugh!”
The books I was holding collapsed helplessly from the unexpected shock. Amidst the sound of pages turning in all directions, a small scream was heard from somewhere.
They didn’t care and proceeded with their own suppression.
Quack!
The back of my head was roughly grabbed, and I fell to my knees as they relentlessly pressed my shoulders. A tingling pain creeps up from the knee that touched the ground.
“…Whoa.”
It was only after a while that I was able to let go of the breath I had been holding back.
It wasn’t to the point of screaming, but it was clear that it was an unpleasant experience that could not be easily overlooked.
I forcibly lifted my head and looked up at the culprit behind this situation.
“What is this… Seniors?”
“Okay, answer the question.”
Winds crossed his arms coercively and said only what he had to say.
“Flow meekly, what did you approach the female student for?”
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Let’s unpack this… “
“Ha? What’s the misunderstanding? It was a truck only for your disgusting seniors who tried to talk like that and talk again.”
Winds looked serious and signaled to the students holding me.
Then, Kuwook, the intensity of the pressure from both sides intensified. Damn, this hurts a bit.
“What can you do besides flirting like that? Are you this f*cking bastard?”
“…..”
There is no conversation at all. In the first place, there is no will to eat from the other side.
Even before the water was opened, the water gate over there was closed like a fortress, so it didn’t seem like a problem that could be solved with common sense.
How long has it been, this feeling.
“…..”
As I lived a life that could be described as a history of bullying, I learned how to loosen the corners of my mouth when angry, and how to relieve myself of a lump in my heart.
If there is a difference from then, it is that he used to be a warrior with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but not now.
In other words, there is no need to be unnecessarily formal or courteous anymore.
The moment I remembered those facts.
“Huh.”
The habit that has tamed me secretly over the past decade raised the corners of my mouth.
