chapter 17
017. Ramielli Academy Entrance Ceremony (8)
‘no! This brawl! If you hold the hand of an extramarital girl like that!!!’
Actually, she wanted to hold her hand longer, but because of her beating heart, Serena pulled her hand away.

Maybe your face is red too. Really this guy is bad for the heart.
“I’m sorry. I must have been offended. Now the meal is over. You can eat.”
Zeke apologized to Serena.
‘Ah, that’s not true!’
Is this man really doing this on purpose? Am I blind? Thinking, Serena rolled her eyes.
“So, what happened to the academy?”
“Ah, I received it instead. Still, it would be better to visit the principal. He looked bad when he said that he had collapsed.”
“i get it.”
Upon hearing that Zeke had collapsed, Principal Lotto sighed, and casually took out a cigarette in front of Serena, bit it, and put it back into his bosom with an apologetic expression.
“But is it really okay not to go to the medical center? If you suddenly collapse again.”
“Yes. I know my body well. It’s just that I’m a little tired.”
It was the same as the doctor who examined him.
“I thought you said it once before.”
Serena honestly wanted to just pack up Zeke and put him in the medical center.
But two days later, the full-fledged academy schedule begins.
“Anyway, the instructor can start the day after tomorrow with a one-week trial lesson.”
“A pilot class?”
“Yes. As I said before, students entering Ramielli can choose another minor in addition to one major.”
“yes.”
Students who enter Ramieli Academy choose the major they want to study in the first place when applying for admission.
However, there may be cases where the major does not suit you. The problem of talent, or the problem of the difference between imagination and reality, etc. As a remedy at such times, there was the concept of a minor.
In some special cases, there were cases where the major itself was changed, but then the procedure is rather complicated because students who easily entered an unpopular major will have problems changing to another major.
So the academy introduced this rule.
“We’re holding a pilot class for a week to attract students with that minor. In the meantime, students who are at least a little interested in swordsmanship will take turns taking lessons from the instructor for one day.”
“Are all the students listening?”
“No. Usually, you attend two or three classes a day that interest you.”
“Mmm.”
“After listening to the class like that, I’m deciding whether or not to choose a minor. It’s a pretty important class. Do you have anything in mind?”
‘Course correction period? Is it like an orientation?’
“Hmm. It’s a little to say it’s something I thought of, but I have a plan to some extent.”
Serena nodded at Zeke’s words. With such swordsmanship skills, what’s the problem? If there’s a problem, it’s probably a student like himself. To be honest, if you just take one flower, you will be healed.
‘But I don’t like holding flowers in front of other kids… … .’
Remembering the time when she approached her with a violet flower, Serena’s eyes went blank again.
Zeke wondered if he had anything more to ask. I remembered the entrance ceremony.
“And Serena. At the entrance ceremony…”
“Instructor. It’s okay.”
“…”
Serena hardened her face and firmly intercepted Zeke’s words.
She no longer wondered who he was.
This time, when Zeke suddenly collapsed in front of her eyes.
Thinking that he was wrong like this, he felt a sense of fear.
It was a very different feeling from the previous time I fell on the wagon.
If I was just surprised then, I was scared this time.
Serena realized just how much of Zeke had become a part of her.
So I decided not to wonder anymore.
What kind of relationship do you have with Iriel, and what kind of past do you have?
Zeke is just Zeke.
The benefactor who saved my life.
He speaks little and has no facial expression.
However, I don’t know the person himself, but he says a lot with his lips and eyes.
You might think he doesn’t show off, but he’s a grateful person who always watches carefully from behind.
A trustworthy person who took my side.
The person who gave me a new dream of a sword.
That’s all you need to know.
You just have to be comfortable with trivial stories like now.
Because I was more afraid of being uncomfortable if I knew the truth.
Serena really thought it was okay.
Zeke nodded and turned around.
“I’ll have to go outside tomorrow. I have something to look for in preparation for class.”
Those words gave Serena courage.
“Yes, Instructor, if it’s okay with you, can I go with you?”
Zeke nodded.
‘De, date!’
Serena’s lips curled up.
* * *
Serena ate it like drinking cold soup.
Zeke and I talked about where we were going tomorrow.
In addition to the places for such a need, we talked all night about must-visit attractions at Ramieli Academy.
Originally, I was planning to move around for about a month from the day I arrived at the academy, but
With Zeke’s common sense education, Serena hasn’t been to most places yet.
The time was so much fun that Serena didn’t even notice the passing of time.
Then suddenly, somehow, both of them were speechless.
The static that fills the room.
Serena glanced at Zeke slightly.
Then he spoke in a hushed, creeping voice.
“Huh… that’s… Instructor… As expected, please let me know.”
‘ok? therefore… … What?’
Zeke made a questioning expression.
“What’s your relationship with Iriel Justia…?”
Serena feels embarrassed as she touches her two index fingers.
Obviously I wasn’t curious, but I was very curious.
I said I didn’t care, but I really did care.
Zeke is obviously zeke, but doesn’t that mean that the previous zeke is no longer zeke?
Honestly, wouldn’t it be okay to know this much between us?
Of course, it’s not even related yet! but!
Gibberish Serena said, not even knowing what she was thinking.
“What was the instructor’s past like…? I want to know!”
Serena’s voice rose as if she thought she had already said it.
‘Uh um… … . Serena?’
“At the academy, why. I want to know why Iriel reacted like that!”
‘It’s Serena. i want to know that too I tried to ask earlier, but you stopped me.’
Zeke wondered what the hell happened between Iriel and Serena during the entrance ceremony.
It is clear that he is involved, but he does not know why.
So I was going to ask Serena, but Serena said it was okay with a determined face, so I just passed it on.
‘But what if you ask me… … .’
Cold sweat broke out on Jack’s forehead.
“…As expected, can’t you tell me…?”
“…”
“Instructor. I really…”
Little by little, Serena’s voice trembled. Then Serena suddenly changes her voice to a brighter tone.
“Ah, I didn’t say anything! Instructor, I’m fine! Forget everything I said!”
“…”
“Oh, it’s really okay. Don’t worry. What am I? You don’t even have to tell me! Originally, everyone lives with a secret, right?”
“…”
“Oh, well, I didn’t even want to know, but I was just wondering if you could tell me a poem! I was just asking! It’s really, really good.”
“…”
Zeke’s eyes trembled.
‘ah. This is a pattern that should never be said. no. But I don’t know!!’
“Then I’ll go see you! Good night!”
Even though she spoke so lively, Serena didn’t get out of bed. As if I had no regrets left, I was very concerned about seeing Zeke even slightly!
Full brain power!
Zeke’s thoughts were made at the speed of light.
‘Just say you have amnesia? I was attacked in the head by a monster?’
A plausible excuse came to mind, but Zeke shook his head inwardly.
‘No, it’s probably a lie, it’ll be out soon. And… … .’
Zeke knows that the only thing he believes in in this world is the girl in front of him.
Although I could hear and speak normally with others. It’s just a superficial relationship.
Pure good will and goodwill without cost. I didn’t want to tell a lie that was obvious later to the child who bumped into me so honestly.
‘Oh, um. Yes… … . Would you believe me if I told you that I was actually summoned as a hero in the dark fantasy world in my hometown, slashed enemies and saved the world, returned to my hometown, watched romance novels, and wrote a comment about being possessed… … !’
he scratched his head.
‘Shiba, life is truly spectacular.’
Looking at Serena, tears welled up in her blue eyes.
uh uh i will cry
under. damn it
Let’s just tell what happened that day appropriately without lies.
It’s just a little embarrassing to be honest.
Serena is smart, so she’ll understand.
‘Go to work. Aristocratic way of speaking!’
It was at this time, of course, that Sieg made full use of the aristocratic style of speech for the first time.
* * *
Serena stared at Zeke, who was making a troubled expression.
‘I wonder if you can’t tell me.’
Serena finally got out of bed with a tray.
That moment when I was about to give up and go back to my room slowly.
Zeke opened his mouth.
“Serena.”
Serena looked back at his call. Her eyes were moist.
“From now on, I will tell you in advance that there is no lie in what I say.”
Oh, you’re telling me
“Yes… I believe.”
Serena replied in a serious voice.
I’m sure there’s no lie in what I’m telling you now.
He would rather not have spoken, but he is not a man who will lie.
“…First of all, I don’t remember.”
However, Serena’s hair had already turned white at the first confession he had made.
“Yeah?”
“To be exact, the day my appointment to the academy was confirmed, I don’t have any memories of the day before that.”
“…!”
“Maybe it’s because of what happened that day, when I retired from the military.”
that is so. Doesn’t that mean that he was completely blank from the moment he met you?
It was different from what I expected, but Serena nodded as if to continue speaking.
“It may be because the general who was my superior took away my precious things.”
‘My precious money.’
“It must have been something I’ve kept all my life. It was all taken away the day I retired.”
‘Money I’ve kept all my life!’
“And force me to do what I don’t want to do.”
‘I told him to go to the academy as a swordsmanship instructor and pick up a sword.’
“I heard Dung’s story telling me to put my strength aside.”
‘I never dreamed of teaching children! I just wanted to live as an unemployed man!’
“Perhaps the shock of that time made me lose my previous memories.”
Zeke met Serena’s eyes.
As if you understand what I’m saying.
“So what was my relationship with Iriel before? How she and I were. I don’t remember anything.”
Serena’s hands were shaking.
“Maybe I have something to do with Justi, too. But, I promise. I will side with you.”
Zeke added words to calm Serena’s anxiety.
Because I can’t tell you about possession or summoning
It was an honest confession out of consideration for her.
“Because you were the first stranger I met after my memory disappeared. So you are the only one who remembers.”
A short but bold confession. That was the end of Zeke’s words.
Serena’s eyes and fingertips trembled like an earthquake.

My throbbing heart ached.
‘Kyo, Instructor… … ! Unbelievable… … !’
Her delusional circuits began to run furiously.
Zeke’s confession was sincere, but in her ears with severe delusion, except for saying that she believed in you, it sounded in a slightly different direction.
‘Among the soldiers… … . certainly. Everyone shushes. I heard that there are a lot of problems with sexual behavior that are forced to do it even though you are not gay or don’t want to do it… … . Instructor Zeke then… … . Instructor’s precious place… … ! Forcibly like that!!!’
How much trouble did he have to make me say this?
To the point where I even lost my memory from the shock.
I’ve been hurt by such a painful heart right now
I would have wanted to keep it a secret for the rest of my life.

My stubbornness made me say it out loud
How shameful were you?
Serena accepted the fact that he had lost his memory more easily than he thought.
‘From the first time we met, you didn’t seem to know Joheiden at all. Even a northern nobleman thought it was strange. And people didn’t trust me at all.’
Just as animals injured by humans avoid human hands, Zeke was a wounded beast.
That too, while faithfully following instructions as a combat agent at the forefront.
A wounded and abandoned beast.
‘If that happened, it would be natural. I-I just asked… … ! Stupid Serena!’
In particular, I was hurt by the superior,
It would be a natural defense mechanism for a high-ranking aristocrat to reject his hand.
‘Did I, by any chance, open up the instructor’s wounds again? For those who just want to forget about it and start a new life! Like an idiot!’
thank you at the same time
Despite the fact that he has a relationship with Yusty and a relationship with Iriel
Because I told you that I would listen to you.
Serena felt relieved and
At the same time, he bit his lip in guilt.
‘Instructor believed in me and said this. You can’t show contempt or sympathy here.’
I nodded and tried to take a firm attitude, but
Serena couldn’t contain the emotions welling up in her chest.
Her feet slowly approached Zeke.
Turbuck.
Turbuck.
Then, as her heart told her, she jumped into his arms.
The tray he was holding in his hand fell to the floor along with the bowl, making a loud noise.
Serena hugged Zeke as hard as she could.
I felt his hard back on my fingertips, and the fresh scent of wood brushed my nose.
“Mi-I’m sorry. Instructor…… I didn’t even know that!”
I didn’t want to cry
I really didn’t want to sympathize with him.
Tears trickled down from her eyes and soon flooded Zeke’s forehead.
Even so, Serena cried sadly as she constantly brushed Zeke’s back.

Meanwhile, Zeke.
‘Well? Are you Serena? what’s the matter?’
Zeke was flustered and patted Serena’s head.
‘It’s a bit sad that I lost all my money and became an instructor, but I’m fine now. Anyway, if I want to help the female lead, it’s comfortable to be in the academy.’
“Serena. You don’t have to cry. I’m fine.”
Serena’s cry got louder after hearing those words, and now it’s almost a loud wail.
I buried my face in Zeke’s body, so I couldn’t see his face.
Zeke recalled the smiling face of the woman he saw immediately after being possessed.
“yes. It was her fault.”
At those words, Serena, who had been crying a lot, suddenly stopped.
‘yes?’
“That. female. ruler?”
A hard voice with a chilly air
Zeke nodded.
“yes. That lady general.”
“What’s your gender?”
“yes.”
Kwak. Serena’s grip on Zeke was strong.
‘Ouch. Hey, is this Serena? I’m a little out of breath. It seems to be blocked?’
