34 – Practical lessons (6)

“According to this, I will give additional points to these two, Lian Altein of A class and Elaine of F class.”

Aaron’s grave voice echoed throughout the gymnasium.

After the practical class, Elaine and I returned to the gymnasium, handed over the badges to Aaron and Bella, and waited for the other students to arrive.

Around the time when the hall was noisy with students arriving one after another, Elaine and I stepped up to the central podium at Aaron’s nomination.

Next to us, Aaron was talking about the purpose of the class and the upcoming practical class, and Bella, sitting in the front seat with her legs crossed, was looking at us with a subtle smile.

Then, interrupting Aaron’s words, someone raised a hand among the students.

“Instructor! I have something to tell you!”

“You must be of Count Gram’s… .”

“It’s called Alt.”

“Yes Alt. What happened?”

Alt looked at me for a moment and then spoke to Aaron again.

“I would like to ask your opinion about something dishonest happening during this practical class.”

“Is it dishonest?”

“The dishonest act of Lian Altane over there.”

Alt pointed at me with his finger.

Aaron, who saw this, asked me with one eyebrow twitching.

“What happened?”

Indeed, this is what it meant to wait and see.

I patted the back of Elaine’s hand to reassure her, who was making an uneasy expression next to me, and then responded in a calm tone.

“I didn’t do anything particularly dishonest.”

“I see.”

“It is a lie! He stole the badge I, no, we found!”

As if he had suffered from evil, Alt pointed his finger at me bitterly with a vein in his neck.

At that gesture, the attention of the gymnasium came out and focused on Elaine.

“I knew it.”

“Also… Is it that guy again?”

“Come to think of it, a certain guy’s uniform was dirty earlier…”

“stop.”

Aaron raised his hand to silence the tumultuous crowd.

“So Alt. Are you saying this guy stole the badge you found?”

“That’s right.”

“Right.”

With my hands behind my back, I calmly watched Alt staring at Aaron resolutely.

What he’s saying now is, ‘I lost my badge because I’m not good enough. Please bring it back.’ Same as

In an academy that values skill and talent more than anywhere else, would it work to use such a childish group?

To Aaron Gilsworth, a veteran who has gone through all the battles in childbirth?

can never get through

No, it’s okay if it doesn’t fit.

I’d rather put the blame on myself for using that weird tool.

I guess that was scary again.

“Then there is no problem.”

“Yes?”

As expected, Aaron ignored Alt’s words.

Alt was greatly taken aback by this and asked Aaron.

“Uh, why? They are our-”

“They robbed things. is this Isn’t that what happened because you guys weren’t enough after all?”

“What is that… .”

“The content of the class is to find the badge before anyone else. This means the same as submitting the badge to our instructor first. And the only rule for this class is not to use magic or any tools that come with it. There is no rule against stealing.”

Alt’s expression wrinkled,

“As you all know, there is only one badge hidden in the forest. In the end, it is up to the students who participated in the class to take away the badge. Bella and I were checking all these things.

And, of course, how Altner and Hans found the badge.”

Seeing the small sphere appearing beside Aaron, the attention of the crowd is drawn to it.

‘Did you see it as expected?’

A sphere floating next to Aaron.

Its true identity was the magic called Uzet’s Eye.

A magic used by knights belonging to the scouting party within the knights who can freely look around over a certain distance as the caster’s eyes.

Since it is a magic that continuously requires mana, it is a skill that only highly skilled characters can use in the game.

If you’re someone who doesn’t seem to be able to use it for hours… There must be only one person.

As expected, the corner of Bella’s mouth drew an arc.

“Ahh… .”

“Well, I won’t punish you. Thanks to that, I also watched an interesting fight. hahahahaha!”

Aaron smiled broadly and patted my back. (It fell.)

Bella also nodded quietly, as if agreeing.

‘Is that a punishment?’

Perhaps he considered the confrontation between me and Hans as punishment.

Unlike the original work, Hans and Alt should have been punished, but they were not.

If I hadn’t stopped and let them go, that would have been it.

Those guys aren’t important characters that will come out later, and it won’t change anything if they get punished and then don’t.

The only thing that can twist the flow of the story will be in the later Mine Raid.

‘Sick.’

I raised my middle finger toward Alt who was biting his lip in anger.

I don’t know what that means, but I know it’s roughly a bad meaning.

“Anyway, it was the first practice, so there must have been some embarrassment and awkwardness, but everyone worked hard practicing for a long time. In the next training session later, you will have more time to check your abilities, so keep sharpening yourself.”

With Aaron’s words, the practice ended.

“Thanks for your work.”

“Ah, yes.”

Break time after disbanding practical classes.

After seeing off Elaine, who went to prepare for class for the next class, Bella started talking to me.

It was the office look outfit I saw in the lab the other day. If there is a difference from then, is it that she is wearing black stockings?

Other than that, it’s terrifyingly identical.

The wind swayed her silvery hair.

Bella straightened her black horn-rimmed glasses.

Silently, I wait for her to speak, but she does not speak.

Did you come to tell me that you did a good job?

“That, Instructor Bella.”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you here because you have something to say?”

“that’s right.”

“Then do it.”

“Thanks for your work.”

What kind of bullying is this?

“uh… Are you here to say that?”

“Then why not?”

“It’s not that I can’t.”

I thought I was going to say something great again.

Bella, who looked up at me while holding the notebook with both hands without a change in expression, was still a beauty with a mature beauty.

“… .”

“Well then, I’ll go get ready for class now too.”

Being close, I get all sorts of arrogant thoughts.

I shook my head and drove away her simmering fascination.

It doesn’t seem like it was done intentionally, but even when I’m still, I feel a sense of enchantment emanating from me.

Maybe it’s because the person himself is a bit bewitching.

“Student Lian.”

Bella’s cold voice caught me as I hurriedly left.

Perhaps because of my mood, the corners of Bella’s lips seemed to go up in an instant when my eyes met.

“You don’t seem to be worried.”

“Yes?”

“I would have told you to come to me anytime if you had any concerns the other day.”

Bella asked, crossing her arms.

When her hands crossed, one part naturally stood out from being pushed by both arms.

Being able to fully show off her charm as a woman who is neither too big nor too small was enough to steal my attention.

‘… Five.’

“Lian student?”

“Ah, yes it was. Oh yeah.”

There’s something about Bella that really drives people crazy.

Shouldn’t it be said that it’s not just fascinating, but that people themselves are attractive?

Or maybe it’s because I like older people, I don’t know.

I definitely didn’t feel that way in the game, but seeing it in real life, the image is quite different.

I cleared my throat and looked away from Bella for some reason.

If you look further, you can really see it.

“Hmm. It’s still early in the semester, so I don’t really have any worries.”

“is that so.”

Of course I won’t go.

Shall I put my hand in the fox’s mouth?

I slowly began to distance myself from Bella.

It was because it seemed like she would get caught up in her face any longer.

“Then, let’s go, Instructor.”

“… .”

I lowered my head slightly and immediately left the gymnasium and headed for the main building.

I think Bella’s expression looked a bit dark at the end, but I guess I was mistaken?

*

There is a library in the basement of the main building.

I didn’t go straight to the dormitory, but stopped by this place to find out the church that was there a few days ago, and to find out more about the Altane family.

When I went down to the basement through the central staircase, a space boasting a fairly large size appeared.

The space finished with black walls and golden moldings can be seen as a luxurious space.

There’s nothing in this space except a golden door twice my height.

The entire basement seemed to be reserved for the library.

This size can be counted on one hand even in the capital city.

In the game, there is a space where you can read in-game books separately on the menu button, so it was the first time I stopped by this place.

“It’s filthy big.”

Even the entrance is so big, I don’t know if I can find my way inside.

After sighing, I put my hand on the doorknob and heard someone coming down from behind.

As the distance got closer and closer, someone who made eye contact spoke to them as if they were happy.

“yes? What is Lian-kun doing here?”

Golden hair that shines without losing its brightness even in the dark, and Peridot’s green eyes that reveal its intelligence.

That someone’s true identity is the true protagonist of Hero Saga, and a person I know very well.

“… Siegfried.”
