Academy’s Second Seat

“Lu, Rudy Astria! Calm down and listen to me… … !”

The red head saw me walking slowly and started to step backwards.

“If you come closer, I will use magic… … !”

I ignored it and walked forward.

“Pie-!”

“dig.”

He casts a spell before he can use it.

At the same time as I cast it, the feet of the red head were dug.

The guy who fell down had a face full of fear.

“eww… . Oh, don’t come!”

“Fire.”

I said the starter.

The most basic fire magic.

A magic that creates small sparks at one point.

It had no lethal power, but it was enough to make him suffer.

He grabbed the red-headed arm and took the flame.

“Ahhh!!!”

The boy began to writhe in pain.

The clothes were pierced, and the smell of burning flesh rose from the flames.

It wasn’t very pleasant because I didn’t have a perverted taste for harassing people.

However, this was the most reliable way.

People are weak to pain.

Especially the guy who has never felt that kind of pain.

“Sorry!!! I’m sorry oh oh oh oh!!!!”

“half? Am I your friend?”

“crime… … I’m sorry aa!!!!! Shut it off!!!”

The guy apologized, but I didn’t stop.

He didn’t say anything and just held out his arm.

“aah!!! Whoa… … .”

After the flame was extinguished for a moment, the boy let out a heavy breath.

The boy’s face was wet with tears.

As I tried to bring the flame back to my arm, he yelled at me.

“now… … stop please… ! Ugh, I couldn’t help it either… … Garwell said that if you do that, you can easily get over it!!!”

Garwell?

I was a little skeptical of the random name.

Garwell Handley.

He was the son of Count Handley.

That guy is the guy under Rudy Astria in the original story.

Of course, it wasn’t an alliance or anything like that, it was just a position of a subordinate who flattered from below.

However, this guy wasn’t just a bridesmaid.

forest school.

It was the dark side of the story that took place in the forest school.

“… … Tell me more.”

“Garwell said that if you want to get over this situation, you can say that Rudy Astria-sama did it… … . Then everything will be resolved… … .”

I frowned.

In the original story, I thought that Rudy Astria had just tormented Evan, but seeing it this way, it was a little different.

It was Garwell who seduced Rudy Astria and moved her red head.

And Garwell must have told the Red Head.

To be honest, I can live.

In a word, Rudy Astria in the game was just being used by Garwell.

However, it seems that my behavior has changed and this has resulted.

Is this crazy… … .

Countess, Own-writer subject to the duke?

Well, thinking that way, the story behind it made a little more sense.

“It was because I was afraid of Ji.”

“yes… … ?”

“What happened?”

I let go of his arm and stood up.

Well, Garwell thought it might have been.

Because he’s a member of the rebels anyway.

Forest School is the story of the first appearance of the rebels who are in charge of the game.

Garwell is a member of the rebel group, and is the story of how Evan subdues him while he is in a riot there.

The story of defeating Garwell is actually an additional story, and the main story is only the story of a heroine who is a member of the rebels.

I could go get Garwell now, but I didn’t have to.

After all, if he goes to a forest school, he’ll be half-dead by Evan.

Evan gains a lot from that situation, so I don’t need to move already.

“It never happened here. And if the other guys around me bother me, I know that your family, not you, will collapse.”

“ah… … Okay. I’ll take good care of you… … .”

I thought as I walked.

To be honest, I knew about the heroines’ story and Evan’s story.

However, he did not know the story of the people around him.

If something happened, there must have been a cause.

I didn’t know that such trivial things could be related to the story that happened in the main story.

“You should be more careful.”

I had to be more careful when I found out that the little events were related to the main story.

It would be a catastrophe if an incident that required Evan to acquire the ability did not happen.

The abilities that are usually obtained from big events often require a lot of effort to get them normally.

So everything had to happen normally.

“It really hurts.”

I thought I should reconsider receiving Astina’s offer.

Still, there is no main story or side story related to Astina, so I decided to do it for the promised period.

@

weekend.

Luna was in the library with Ena and Rika.

Rudy didn’t come because she had work, so there were only the three of them.

And I took a break from studying for a while.

“Rudy said that?”

“Now you have revealed your true nature! That bad guy…!”

Rika said, waving her arms wildly.

rumor.

The three were talking about rumors.

Rumor has it that Rudy Astria has bullied Evan by forcing William Writer to restrain himself.

“Ummm…”

“Ena! You talk too!”

Rika urged her while shaking Ena.

“I will spare my words.”

Anna made a face that she didn’t like something.

Luna thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

Read at readwn.com

“Aren’t the rumors going wrong?”

“Because it’s not. Last time, you saw Rudy Astria being taken to the leadership team. Everyone at the academy is raging that Rudy Astria made it.”

Luna thought while listening to Rika.

Why did Rudy do that?

Rudy had no reason to bother Evan.

“Just by looking at it, the high-ranking nobles must have been uncomfortable because Evan, a commoner, is becoming famous these days!”

Luna remembered when Rudy introduced herself.

disrespectful remarks.

That’s what I was saying, ignoring everyone.

However, Rudy did not speak for the nobles.

Rudy is simply not interested in most people.

I have never seen anyone discriminated against someone saying they were aristocrats and others saying they were commoners.

He was not interested in the commoners Rika and Ena, but never showed any particular disrespect.

“I think there is some misunderstanding.”

Luna trusted her eyes.

Rudy is a good person, a kind person, just a clumsy person.

“Come to think of it······.”

I’ve seen that author’s son-in-law and Rudy together before.

When the first class is over.

“I thought I said something bad… … .”

I remember Rudy said to the author’s son, ‘Shut it off.’

At first, I thought he was a boy who said bad things to his friends, but now that I think about it, it’s a little different.

taken from readwn.com

Maybe Rudy knew they were bad people?

And in retaliation for that, they trap Rudy.

“Rika, I saw it… … .”

Luna told Rika and Ena this story.

In fact, it is a rumor.

Someone does something, and those who hear the rumor interpret it as they wish.

The behavior, even insignificant ones, is distorted by those who talk about rumors.

Not only is the meaning of the action given strangely, but the action itself is sometimes distorted.

“It’s a common misunderstanding, but maybe it’s because it’s Rudy’s business. Rudy’s reputation in the academy is so bad.”

When Luna said that, Anna smiled.

“If it were Luna, it would be like that.”

“Oh, maybe not! okay······! Rudy could have just made a mistake!”

Luna thought that she had talked too much, so she sat down.

Seeing that, Ena smiled and opened her mouth.

“More than that, Luna, why do you look so busy these days?”

“Are you looking busy?”

“I seem to have a bit of dark circles these days, and I don’t seem to be very good at chatting with my friends or taking walks.”

“Is that… is that so? I guess I’m just like usual?”

Luna stuttered as if confused.

Anna looked at her and smiled.

“Studying is good, but take it easy.”

“Yeah… it will be.”

Luna was at the library with Rudy these days.

Of course, I just studied there.

Luna did not stop there and continued to study through the night.

– Expectations.

Rudy said.

They are looking forward to their own growth.

Luna didn’t want to disappoint her expectations.

I wanted to show Rudy a great performance quickly.

“Hehe······.”

Luna let out a foolish laugh as she imagined Rudy admiring her achievements.

“Oh, come to think of it, I heard that Locke and Rudy Astria are having an election campaign in front of the freshman dormitory tomorrow?”

“An election campaign?”

At Ena’s words, Luna tilted her head.

“Yeah, that’s what I just heard, so you’re right. They say they do it in the morning.”

“Well.”

Luna thought for a moment and then smiled.

@

next day.

Today, the red-headed head said that he would go to the leadership team and turn himself in.

It’s not something I did, it’s just something I did by myself.

However, another problem arose.

“······ha.”

I am now standing in front of the dormitory with Locke.

In his hand, he was holding a sign with Astina’s name and promises written on it.

After discussions with Astina over the weekend, I and Locke decided to campaign in front of the dormitory.

I don’t know why the result was like this.

Even if he did nothing, Locke was annoyed by the spit next to him.

Do the students passing in front of me also look at me and gossip?

Even if I was doing this, it was certain that Astina was at a loss.

But why didn’t anyone stop?

Anyone can see that Astina’s reputation is being damaged now.

A deep sigh rose from within.

After some time passed, it was time to start class.

As I was about to pack up my belongings and go, Locke called me.

“Hey you.”

“Why?”

There was life in the boy’s eyes.

However, unlike his usual radical appearance, he was very calm.

“Why did you tell Viscount William to bully Evan?”

I ignored those words and roughly picked up my luggage and headed into the building.

Anyway, the truth will be revealed today.

But wouldn’t it be strange for me to say that it’s framed here and that the red head will be embroidering today.

As I was about to leave, Locke grabbed my arm.

“What are you doing?”

“Answer my question, Rudy Astria.”

Why are you doing this again?

“I didn’t. How many times would I have told you?”

I shook off Locke’s hand and walked forward.

Then Locke snorted.

“You’re like trash.”

I ignored Locke’s swearing and moved forward.

“Why are you letting other people feel inferior to your brother? Do you think that’s something a high-ranking noble should do?”

Why would you make your own black history by yourself?

If it turns out that I am not me after swearing like that, I would be very ashamed.

I was going to ignore that lock and go.

But, coming down the stairs, I saw someone talking.

“What did you say?”

“Luna?”

It was Luna coming down the stairs.

“What are you doing?”

It wasn’t Luna’s usual innocent face.

He looked at Locke with eyes full of life.

“Luna Railer?”

Locke was slightly perplexed when he saw Luna’s face like that.

However, Luna did not respond to those words and spoke again.

“What are you doing? Why are you cursing at a quiet kid?”

Locke frowned.

Luna was even more angry when she saw Locke like that.

“Aren’t you talking?”

“I only cursed because I did something that would be insulting.”

Locke said quietly.

Then the wind began to gather in Luna’s hand.

“Then you did something that would make me attack you, so can I attack you?”

A beginner’s magic with wind properties, Windball.

However, the size was a bit odd.

Obviously, Luna’s magic level was not that high, but that size was similar to the wind attribute magic I used.

no. It wasn’t the time to worry about something like that.

If you start fighting properly, you won’t be in good shape.

Luna, Locke, and me.

There’s no reason to fight like this.

I got up and grabbed Luna’s arm.

“Luna, it’s okay.”

“Rudy?”

And I looked at Locke.

“You too.”

“What?”

“Turn it off when you look at it.”

Then Locke glanced at Luna and entered the building.

“Rudy! Is it okay if I let you go like that?”

Luna said looking at me if she was worried.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay. You can’t cast magic just because you’ve been cursed.”

Then Luna removed the magic from her hand and blushed.

“It was because he suddenly got angry….”

Luna was angry at me as if that had happened.

“More than that! Why are you just listening! You should have responded!”

Luna said these words to me as if she didn’t like it.

“What do you say to a guy who doesn’t believe you even if you tell him?”

“But I don’t know what to say!”

“I’m going to start class.”

As I was about to leave with a small smile, Luna grabbed my sleeve.

“Are you really okay?”

“Because it’s okay. But why are you leaving the dorm now?”

I turned to Luna, who was still worried.

But it was weird.

As I just said, class will start soon.

Luna usually went early if she went early, but she wasn’t a late person.

“Ah·························································· That day, my hair was not well organized! I slept a little too late?

Luna stuttered slightly.

However, looking at Luna’s head, it felt the same as usual.

no. On the contrary, he looked more determined than usual.

Well, if it’s Luna, then that’s it.

I trusted Luna completely, so I just passed it on.

I walked into the building with Luna.

And because the classes I took were different, we broke up in the middle.

“ah······.”

Come to think of it, I forgot to ask.

Luna’s magic.

It looked much faster than the original Luna’s growth rate.

That fact bothered me, but I thought it might be.

My actions would be completely different from the original, so how could even the smallest details be the same as the game?

“It won’t matter.”
