19 – Group Tasks (1)

Before I could get out of the shock of Szasha, another intense shock broke my back.

“1St Joe Anastasia Aris, Adele Heights, Lucy Belmeil.”

The reason is that the affair is twisted.

Originally, the three, who would never be in the same group due to group assignments, became one due to the sparring score changed by my intervention.

It’s already been through Kyle’s passing out during the first trial, but how could the two heroines and I be intertwined like someone else did?

Anyway, since I’m having such a headache, I can feel the presence next to me along with the rustling sound.

I glanced at it and saw that it was Lucy who called her Sasha and then left as if running away in a hurry.

Lucy, who was called to the same group as me, trudged over and sat down next to him while slightly biting his lower lip.

“You came quickly.”

That’s what you say to Lucy, who has her legs crossed and her arms folded for no reason in this ridiculous situation created by chance.

“Poem, noisy.”

The guy gave a stern answer and turned his head away.

She feigns innocence, but her frantic wiggling of her fingers and feet reveals her emotions.

I just threw it out, but the reaction was quite funny, as if he was paying attention to what happened just a moment ago.

“Is your knee okay?”

“… ….”

Lucy, instead of answering, turned her head towards me with a creak.

Her wide-open eyes and her ears that were on the verge of blushing seemed to ask me, ‘Did you see that?’.

She said, “I fell face down making a loud noise as if to ask for attention, but I couldn’t see it.”

Lucy covered her face with her hands at the teasing words.

It was the first time in my life that a human being had such a reaction.

Looking back, I think when we first met, one hand was on my waist and the other hand was pointing.

Should I say that the original gestures were a bit exaggerated, or should I say that the innocence of childhood still remains.

Anyway, it was a gesture that I wanted to do on purpose.

“I guess I thought no one else saw that, but I can guarantee you that about half of the classrooms have seen that ugliness.”

“Everyone, shut up.”

The light in his eyes flashed between his slightly open fingers, like a wild animal in the middle of the night.

It seems that a faint white chill emanates around her, but that probably wasn’t my mistake.

Now that we’ve been teasing enough, it’s time to get back to the main topic where we gathered.

“…… ?”

Suddenly feeling the soft touch and weight of her lap.

I wanted something like this, so I just rolled my eyes and looked down.

“… ….”

I don’t know why, but my eyes met with Anastasia, who was lying on her lap with her arms stretched out in a straight line.

“What are you doing?”

I grabbed the guy by the nape of his neck and lifted him up.

She answered in an inaudible voice as Anastasia, who was lifted up with her upper body drooping as if she were playing a doll.

“Can you bring me the note over there…… ? I can’t reach her arm…….”

Walking in the air, in the direction Anastasia pointed, there was a note placed on the desk.

It’s a simple matter to bring it to you.

It is understandable that Anastasia would ask me to give it to her.

However, if there is one problem, that familiar type of note is mine.

It was not an item that could be handed over easily to Anastasia, who had to compete for the top spot.

Originally, why would a guy who has no interest in people around him do this? The answer to that question was easier to come up with than I thought.

Just a few days ago.

So it must be the interest in solving a vicious problem posed by a professor who hates Adele.

At that time, it was almost certain that he had spoken to me after the lecture.

‘I must be crazy.’

Who would have imagined that just struggling to avoid being flogged, that small struggle would bring about such a big change.

First of all, I grabbed Anastasia’s face with one hand and pushed her away as she coveted the knowledge written on my notebook.

Perhaps because of that outrageous judgement, or perhaps because of Anastasia’s action of putting her head in as if she were daring to attack Adele, Lucy put on a shocked expression with her mouth wide open.

I can’t even start the group assignment at this rate.

“Anyway, back to the point.”

Anyway, it seemed like I was the one who was going to proceed and the one who was most desperate for the score to be obtained from this group assignment, so I reluctantly held on to Anastasia and opened my mouth.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Are you asking me, or are you talking to yourself?

I nodded at Lucy’s muttering incomprehensibly.

The professor asked for one thing as a group assignment.

Regardless of the subject matter, create an artifact that makes you want to give it an A.

What kind of novel artifacts should the other groups create, how long should they be completed, etc.

It seemed like there were many worries, but at least I wasn’t.

“We are going to the mountain behind the academy.”

Unlike the love affair, Adele is in the same group as Lucy and Anastasia, so it’s a choice she can choose.

Maybe there is an item that can help me, who is still immature in using characteristics or martial arts, to the top of my grades.

If this is the case with Jeongsa, shouldn’t we use it?

“Let’s finish the explanation there.”

Unlike the other groups who discuss with Jo Won and wonder if there is a better way, this is a one-sided declaration.

At that arbitrary decision, Lucy seemed to be trying to say something with a bewildered face.

“The environment there is different from here, so it is better to wear warm clothes.”

I left before she could say anything, so Lucy’s complaints came to nothing.

* * *

The next day, the entrance to the back mountain.

Unlike the academy filled with the warmth of a warm spring day, there was still a lot of snow and only bare trees, so I had no choice but to hit my forehead in the middle of winter.

“…… Cold.”

“What, here…… Why is there snow piled up in spring like this…… ?”

I told you to dress warmly, but you came in your usual light shirt and skirt and were shivering from the chill coming down from the foot of the mountain.

“When I told you to dress warmly, did you hear it with one ear and with the other?”

The fortunate thing is that I brought extra clothes because I think this would be the case with these guys.

I had to carry a backpack the size of me all the way here, but thanks to the guys who are just as I expected, the hard work won’t be in vain.

“My hands feel frozen.”

Anastasia is rubbing her hands together in a low voice and blowing white breath.

I didn’t even touch my eyes, but seeing that my fingertips were bright red, I was on the verge of getting frostbite if I made a mistake.

“Wait.”

I set the backpack I had brought down on the ground and took out the contents one by one.

The furry coat and gloves I had brought with me, as well as water and food in case they didn’t know, popped out of my bag and fell to the floor.

First of all, I put the coat on the shoulders of Anastasia, who was shivering.

“Ohh… ….”

Anastasia let out her admiration as she rubbed her furry coat on her cheeks, which were chilled by the wind of her blade.

“Reach out your hand.”

Anastasia flutters like a mollusk and raises her hands.

After taking off her gloves, she held the cold guy’s hand with her two hands that were still warm. ….” It made a sound.

“It’s warm. Like a mother.”

Originally, I tried not to pay attention to it like this.

It was to the extent that my goal was to live at a distance from the heroine.

However, since it was not acceptable for Anastasia to get frostbite and an affair that had already been twisted so much that it was completely unpredictable, she had no choice but to intervene.

That’s why I asked you to dress warmly, but how can you listen to me…….

“It would be okay if I warmed my hands this much.”

Anyway, she handed over her hairy gloves to the unprepared Anastasia, then lifted her head and looked behind her.

“… ….”

Lucy gave her an incomprehensible look, frowning.

Her hands clasped in front of her chest as she silently backed away was a movement as if she had seen a criminal.

Is it really wrong to dress her up so that she won’t be cold and warm her hands, which are likely to get frostbite at any moment?

“Come here too, Lucy.”

When I flick her finger, it feels like I’m approaching her reluctantly, but that doesn’t make her wary any less.

“What are you? Who are you. What do you mean?”

“You are asking a strange question.”

He raised his coat while answering.

“I just warmed you up because you guys were cold.”

“So why… ….”

Before he could finish his sentence, he swung his coat around Lucy’s shoulders and slung it.

It’s so pitiful to see him trembling all over while he’s talking.

“…… Why are you wearing it…….”

Looking at the way he lengthened his words without getting angry, he seemed dissatisfied, but not angry.

It was a perfect response that did not interfere with the group assignments.
