Chapter 19 - Lynne, Ordinary Girl (2)

 

Away from the training center, I headed straight for a secluded place.

I couldn't see the students, probably because I was past school time.

After looking around and making sure no one was around, I took out a pill from my pocket with trembling hands.

'I thought I'd die holding him back.'

I put the pill in my mouth and chewed it.

With a bitter and pure taste that touched the tip of my tongue, a powerful mana spread through my mouth.

'Fiuh, I survived.'

As the energy from the medicine spread and mana was supplied to my brain, my body's condition slowly deteriorated back to its original state.

The ringing within my ears, which I could faintly hear, also disappeared instantly as if I was turning off the radio.

I sighed while sitting on a quiet bench.

The first signal came when I stopped by the second training center.

My fingertips were shaking, and my head felt numb from the headache.

It was a kind of chronic illness that I experienced after I came to this world.

'I'd be in big trouble if I didn't have the pills.'

Still, I thought it was tolerable, so I would take the medicine right after checking out the first training center.

I didn't expect a fight between the freshmen to happen there.

Should I call it a fight? A one-sided attempt to stage an ambush cannot count as a fight.

—Violence in school.

It was a situation where the victim and the perpetrator were clearly divided.

I intervened in between and managed to prevent things from getting bigger.

After that, I talked about disciplinary actions and such, but I felt a wave soaring high inside me.

Sensing my body's signal to put the pill into my mouth quickly, I had tried to handle the situation quickly and left.

But there's a problem…

Who would have thought he would brazenly tell me that I was a fallen noble?

For a moment, I didn't even know what he had just said to me and pondered it aloud for about three seconds.

I wondered if he really meant it, and all kinds of complicated and long sentences were being prepared inside my head, but my communication skills were poor, so those were probably my last words.

However, the problem was that after I heard such a brazen speech, I could not just leave as a professor.

'Why should he say that at such a time?'

If he had just said it to himself without anyone else listening, I would have pretended not to hear it, but there were too many witnesses around him.

In the end, I had to say something to protect my authority as a professor, but I couldn't say anything plausible because my brain wasn't working properly.

initially, what you do is a real challenge to the authority of the professor.

- You may be referred to a disciplinary committee in accordance with school regulations.

you may get a penalty or be reported to the principal.

Well, I should have said principled things like this, but that didn't cross my mind.

"So I just say whatever comes to my mind."

I was in such a hurry that I said whatever came to my mind in the best way so that my image was not damaged.

—Even as I said that, I had trouble keeping my shattered expression.

Maybe my face is a little distorted, and my eyes are a little red.

'It won't be a big deal, will it?'

By the way, since professor Selena was late to arrive, I handed the rest to her and hurriedly left my place successfully.

I got up from the bench while gulping down the pills that were still left in my mouth.

I'm glad it's just an early symptom.

If things got worse there, someone else might have noticed my strangeness.

'The pill, is this the last one?'

I put extra medicine in the bag I had sent; I had no idea that this would happen because everything went awry in the middle.

'I'll see him next weekend... To be honest it seemed like it would be difficult for me to hold on until then, so I had to write another letter and tell him to come early.'

Otherwise, I would have to hire a private pharmacy and make it my own place, but if I did, I would get in trouble because it would be recorded.

'Seeing a situation like this, I'm not sure if I can survive even five days.'

If I consume mana, the five-day period will be shortened.

'I hope everything will run safely until then.'

I went on patrol again, taking a light breath into my mind as it slowly became clearer.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your attention."

"Don't call it that; it's my job."

Lynne bowed to Selena, who took her to the hospital even though she flatly rejected her offer and said that she was fine.

Selena smiled warmly and waved her hand, but Lynne meant to thank me.

"That's ... Professor Selena."

"Hm?"

"What will happen to him?"

"You mean the Dynema, right? Hm. I'm not sure what's going to happen to him either. I just got in here too."

"Oh that's right..."

"But according to the school rules announced earlier, it wasn't a mere fight but a one-sided quarrel, so I thought he would get disciplinary action even though he wouldn't be expelled from the school."

It would be nice if the Academy were to take strong disciplinary action against someone who has high self-esteem and self-esteem like Dynema.

Even so, the two were vaguely aware that they would not take such an action.

A weak punishment would play its part because he was a freshman who did not know anything yet, but most importantly, there was the Count family on his back, so they would let him be.

"Why are you worried?"

"No, it's just that I'm curious."

To be honest, he did not feel sorry for Dyema after she explicitly aimed at him and launched an attack from the end.

He will get what he deserves. It is somewhat surprising that she was not expelled from school even though she did that much.

He only asked because he was upset.

"Are you worried?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Your expression shows everything."

"Well…"

Lynn nodded slowly. His gray hair and bob swung in tune with his movements.

"Just when I came here, it was more intense than I thought. I think Soren is a place full of dreams and idealism."

“…”

"But after I spoke to the noble students, it didn't seem like it at all. Although the person will be punished, there is no guarantee that something similar will not happen again."

"…I think so."

Selena agreed with Lynne.

Although Soren said that nobles and commoners alike, such promises were rarely well protected.

Even if the professors also became mediators among the students in the most neutral way, they said nothing about the problems that arise when the students get along with each other.

As a result, some people who had strong pride as nobles looked down on the professors simply because they were ordinary people or from fallen noble families.

Dynema's verbal abuse of Ludger was only the result.

"Yes, honestly I think his words are too much for Professor Ludger."

Selena puffed her cheeks with her hands on her waist as if to prove that she was angry.

Selena smiled gently as she looked at Lynne who opened her eyes wide as if she did not know that the professor would say that.

"But Professor Ludger has delivered it as a mere warning. We can't say anything anymore."

"Are you not angry?"

"Of course, I'm angry too. I'm just trying hard to hold him back, but I'm sure it's Professor Ludger whose mind is more muddled than anyone else's."

"Ah."

Lynne recalled the expression Ludger had shown back then.

He couldn't see it properly because there was a shadow on his face, but it must have been very frightening.

Even the face of Dynema turned deathly pale after seeing those eyes.

He was originally a terrifying professor when he set the mood of the classroom, so he couldn't imagine how frightening he would be if he was truly angry.

Nevertheless, Professor Ludger said that he would only forgive the mistakes of Dynaema back then.

He must be more angry than anyone else.

… Yet he held it in and let it slide.

He did not let it slide just because he had also given up on the other party's family.

Rather, it was more like a form of compassion to guide a student who was very lacking in many aspects.

And that was because Ludger was looking at him coldly the entire time instead of being bullied by Dynama.

A person who showed such an expression would not back down just because of the other party's family influence.

Frankly, when he spoke to Dynasty while saying that he was indeed a fallen noble…

Lynne thought that her behavior was completely unexpected as she watched it.

—And also he looks really cool.

"So I'll believe it once. I'm sure what they're doing is wrong, but they're still young students, right? Let's just say there's still a chance for them to change."

"Ah."

Selena scratched her head.

"Hehehe. Excuse me. I really sound like an old lady, don't I?"

"No. Professor Selena is still quite young. To be honest, if we meet outside Soren, I'll call you as if you were my older sister."

“Ya mercy~ Thank you for the compliment. You're a good girl, Lynne."

'No, but is that true?'

Selena herself may think she's old, but according to Lynne, she's so young that she'll look like her senior in a school uniform.

Selena who is beautiful and always smiling has indeed become the target of several male students. It's just that he didn't realize it, actually.

He wondered if people in their mid-20s thought they were that old.

"Hm. Sister, you said~ Sounds good. I wish I had a sister like Lynne too."

"I also wish I had an older sister like Professor Selena."

"Thul? Jeez, you're a very good girl~”

“Heheh. Then can you give me a few more points during Spirit Studies class?"

"After I saw you working hard~"

Selena laughed as she replied to Lynne's joke.

"Time has passed so quickly. I'll look around my entire patrol area. If there's something wrong with your body, you have to tell me, okay?"

"Yes I will."

Selena left the hospital waving her hand.

Lynne, who was left alone, stared at her physical condition and got out of bed, thinking she was fine.

'In retrospect, Professor Ludger actually called my name.'

When he used the training center, he wore comfortable clothes just in case his uniform was dirty.

Obviously, she didn't have a name label, so no one knew Lynne's name.

But Ludger Chelysie naturally called out his name.

"Lynne," said he.

'Did he remember me since I took his class?'

To Ludger Chelysie, he was just one of his 80 students, an ordinary person who did not even need to be noticed.

Still, Ludger remembered his name.

Suddenly, he remembered what he had said to Dynema.

'All students are the same in Soeren.'

Just like a rock thrown into the calm water, those words caused ripples in Lynne's mind.

If he only said empty words, he would not believe it and would be disappointed.

But Ludger isn't like that.

—His action, his unwavering principle, his voice...

He instills hope in Lynne for Soren.

'The first impression is obviously the scary professor.'

Even when he was a new professor, he did not expect much when he took his first class.

However, he was immediately surprised by the source code innovation demonstrated by Ludger and realized that he was not appointed as a professor at Soeren with just his words.

Even so, given the inconsiderate and bold attitude he showed Flora…

He thought he was a grueling professor in many ways.

"But he's not like that."

When he mediated the situation, he ended up just warning the student, even though he had been insulted.

He even asked her if she was injured anywhere as she saved him.

He suddenly appears in a moment of crisis and saves her. It was only for a moment, but it seemed like he saw a prince riding a white horse in a fairy tale.

It made his heart beat.

'No, Professor Ludger wouldn't think much of me.'

Yes, there is nothing more embarrassing than being confused yourself for no reason.

He was there to learn magic, not to seek such dramatic encounters.

***

I was able to return to my accommodation comfortably as nothing strange was found on my patrol after the incident at the first training center.

When I returned to the accommodation, I immediately sent him a letter.

Fill out the letter so that he arrives early because it is difficult for me to wait until next weekend.

And the next day…

The reply came early in the morning.

What is written in the letter is simple:

The job he was handling ended earlier than he thought, so he was about to leave.

We'll meet up the next day at the weekend.

Our designation place is the industrial zone outside the eastern business zone of Leathervevelk.

I burned the letter, thinking it was a suitable place away from people's sight.

'Today is Friday. It's Saturday tomorrow, so I can get through today.'

Students were definitely at the peak of their excitement as this was the first weekend since the beginning of the semester, but would the same incident happen, similar to the day before?

While thinking so, I heard a strange story from Professor Selena, who was having lunch with me.

"Did you just say werewolf?"

"Yes, werewolf."

Rumors about werewolves began circulating in Soren.
