Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

30 – Midterm exam. (3)

“Tell me this.”

Time passed quickly. Time seemed to pass faster, perhaps because nothing much happened and everyday life continued.

The midterm exams are just around the corner.

Students with fire in their feet each grabbed onto the hem of a friend’s clothes who could help them. This may be because the average student often had more difficulty with handwriting than practical skills.

Honestly, in a world full of magic, swordsmanship, and other mystical things, who would want to just sit down at their desk and study?

And it was no different for Asti and Lina. In fact, Asti’s practical skills were not particularly meaningful, and the same was true for Lina.

In particular, Lina said that her magical talent was so outstanding that Nea, her mid-level demon, took notice of her, so she did not really need any practical training.

For reference, swordsmanship classes and magic classes are optional classes, so only those who take the classes will take the test. In Lina’s case, she didn’t choose swordsmanship, so she doesn’t really need any practical skills.

In Korean terms, should I say that I should choose liberal arts or science? However, since there are quite a few people who choose both, it wasn’t necessarily an appropriate analogy.

Honestly, how many people would tolerate a fireball coming out of their hand?

Anyway, they were feeling a lot of pressure with their writing and asked me for help. It wasn’t that much of a problem since Astiya watched her study whenever she had time, but Rina was still the problem.

This guy wasn’t keeping up with the class as much as I thought. She certainly seems to be quite intelligent, but when you ask her questions about the content of her classes, most of them end with ‘I don’t know.’ She didn’t even have to ask why. It must be because of the ghost.

She said that she gets especially noisy during class, and she spoke to me as if she was sick of it.

“If they hadn’t made so much noise, I wouldn’t have had to ask my senior like this.”

“That’s right. You see, she has pretty good hair.”

“That’s right. I also thought I was smart. “It feels good to be recognized.”

“Prah. Ah.”

“Oh?”

Then, suddenly, Asti put her small snack in my mouth.

“Is it delicious?”

“Uh, yes. But where did this suddenly come from?”

“Well, I borrowed a kitchen and tried making it. “Because you’ve been having a hard time lately because of me.”

She smiled brightly as she said that to me and looked at my book.

“I can’t really say it was a hardship. “You learn quickly in the first place.”

“That’s true, but that’s because you’re wasting your time.”

Asti has treated me quite warmly since the last time I told her my true feelings. This may be because a kind of trusting relationship has been formed.

“Anyway, Prach, don’t you have to study?”

“I just end up reviewing. “Most things related to handwriting are in my head.”

“Oh my. Then try this too.”

Asti shoved her bite-sized cookie into her mouth. Her sweetness spreads into your mouth in an instant.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s delicious. “Are you good at it?”

This is not an empty remark; it was truly not a joke.

After possessing Prah’s body, I followed Prah’s tastes and even my tastes became picky, to the point where I was able to satisfy his tastes at once.

“Hmph. It’s one of my hobbies. Let me know what you want to eat next time. “I will make it for you.”

“Yes.”

At that time, Lina, who was looking at me and Asti, looked at us with her strange eyes.

“Seniors.”

“Why?”

“Did something happen? “You seem to get along very well.”

We shook our heads at the same time to that question.

“”No. Nothing happened.””

“Hmm… ….”

Lina tilted her head as if she thought something was strange, but she quickly shook her head and put her head down in her book again. She said that now that the ghosts aren’t making a fuss, we should watch at least one more thing.

“Anyway, I’m glad that I was able to study easily thanks to my senior. She wondered what would happen if she really failed…… “The real senior is my benefactor, my benefactor.”

“He even became a benefactor for something like that.”

“No, it’s real. When I said I was coming to Selus Academy, my parents were very against it…… I mean, I barely asked for permission. But let’s do a crappy job from the first test. “Will your parents let you go to the academy?”

“No.”

My daughter was haunted by her ghost, but it didn’t seem like she would just quietly send her off to the academy.

“Even that means I barely managed to avoid going to the monastery. “You can never fail.”

“Aha.”

“A monastery… ….”

Next to me, Asti made a terrible expression on her face, and then looked at Lina with a pitiful face.

“You almost got into real trouble, Lina.”

“Right? A monastery, that’s nonsense. “Ever since I was a child, priests have been around me all the time, but the ghost never seemed to go away. I wonder if going to a monastery would have changed anything.”

“That can’t be possible. Rather, it must have been really difficult because of the ascetic life of the monastery and the whispers of ghosts.”

Asti shook her head.

“Right? That’s why my senior is my savior.”

As Lina said that, she clung to my arm. It’s all good, but why are you suddenly sticking to me?

“There’s no need to cling to it, is there?”

“hehehe. “Good things are good, right?”

Lina said that and subtly rubbed her face on my arm. Why is he like this? Even though we’ve been together a lot recently and we’ve become quite close, I’m still not sure about the distance between me and Lina.

He’s just a junior who blindly says he likes what I say. Although I said I would get her on the same side, it was not in my plans for Lina to show such affection for me. Was he that sick of the ghosts?

If they were to cling to the person who cleaned them up like a puppy like this.

“Lina.”

At that time, Asti subtly took Lina away from her arms.

“Yes, yes?”

“If we stick to each other like that, will Prah be uncomfortable or not?”

“Senior. “Are you uncomfortable?”

“It’s inconvenient. “It’s the time when the weather is getting warmer, so it’s a bit hot.”

Then Lina puffed out her face slightly and let go of her arm. On the other hand, Asti shoved another cookie towards my mouth with a smile on her face.

“It’s a prize.”

Saying something out of the blue, Asti looked at Lina with an expression that seemed like she was in a good mood. Judging by the way she smiled quite triumphantly, it seemed like she wasn’t very happy about Lina clinging to me.

Looking at Lina’s expression, she looked somewhat resentful. Could it be that she was fighting over me?

It couldn’t be possible, but these two seemed to have a strangely bad relationship to the point that it made me think such an absurd thought. It’s not that bad, but they keep each other in check, knowingly or unknowingly…….

He would have to work under me from now on, but it didn’t seem like a good idea that our relationship was already worsening.

I wondered if we should mediate separately, but in this case, there was a high possibility that if we intervened for no reason, we would only hurt each other’s feelings. So, I thought it would be better to tell Asti later, in an appropriate manner.

I should tell Lina separately.

“Both of you, stop doing useless things and focus. “I asked you to teach me about your studies, but it seems like it keeps leaking somewhere else?”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry.”

“If you come to the library, stick to your original purpose. “Don’t fight for no reason.”

“Yes… ….”

“Yes… ….”

They both looked at me with sullen expressions and focused on their studies.

* * *

There was someone watching Prah, Asti, and Lina studying with each other while looking at books.

“… ….”

It was Aris. I couldn’t concentrate when Ruslan and other friends were around, so I stopped by the library to study alone, but I didn’t expect to see them.

And, of course, they seem to get along very well.

I knew Asti and Prah well, but who on earth is that girl with dark blue hair? Meanwhile, the number of women around Prah increased again.

It’s not that I don’t understand. This may be because in everything about her, except for one excessive blemish, the one who tried to rape her, Prach was the type of man every girl could wish for.

Even that girl had no hesitation in clinging to Prah’s body.

‘What kind of street prostitute are you from? ‘Why on earth are you holding on to other people’s arms?’

As Aris thought that, she felt her mood worsen. What made her feel worse, she said, was that Prah did not shake Rina’s arm off right away.

He even took something that looked like a cookie from Asti and ate it. And feeding it too.

If I had seen it before, I certainly wouldn’t have felt anything, but not now. My heart tingled.

He definitely had to stay by his side.

But right now, he didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that. But then, what was the reason for that action that day?

If he had no regrets about himself, unless he still had feelings for him, there would be no reason for him to save himself by hurting himself like that.

There may not be the same emotions as before, but there will still be some that remain.

Aris wanted to get rid of those things clinging to Prah right now, but she had no justification. My relationship with Prah has already been partially severed.

That’s why she has no choice but to stamp her feet. Unfortunately, it was only after their relationship had grown far enough that she felt something she had never felt before when she saw Prah.
