Academy’s Second Seat

sunlight shining down.

Rather than a pleasant feeling of sunshine, it gave a strong feeling that summer had arrived.

The sun was shining so hard that it stinged my skin.

This meant that the vacation was slowly approaching.

Before the vacation came, there were things that students had to do.

Finals. It was something I wanted to finish quickly even though it didn’t come close to the students.

The students kept praying that this day would not come, but prayers will not come true.

That day has come.

The students had a hard time in the sweltering heat, but everyone was studying hard.

The first and second year students all had a lot of outstanding students, and as the students worked hard, the atmosphere around them was full of enthusiasm for learning.

In the midst of everyone’s hard work, the final exam day finally arrived.

Nearby students were walking droopy after studying for the exam in the heat all night, but there was a person going to the exam room with a pleasant smile.

“Ummm.”

Rie was walking through the scorching sunlight with a smile.

I got out of the dormitory, passed the garden where the sun was shining, and headed for the main building.

There was a certain distance between them, but Rie did not lose her smile.

He was even humming.

Obviously, it was Li who studied all night and hadn’t slept properly.

Lee was also surprised.

It’s rare to be in such good condition.

The warm sunlight felt pleasant, and the chirping of birds around me felt like good music.

“The weather is nice.”

Obviously the weather itself was nice.

Pleasantly floating clouds and shining sunlight.

It was just a little hot.

Rie didn’t even feel that hot weather.

“Now I can only do well on the exam.”

Lee laughed and muttered to herself.

The weather is good and the condition is good.

Then there is only one left.

All you have to do is show off your skills.

Now, that skill was the problem.

Lee didn’t study properly for this exam.

While studying, Rie let her imagination run wild even before she fell asleep.

I thought it was selfish and manly, but I never stopped imagining it.

Such imaginations distracted Rie’s concentration.

Even when studying, I couldn’t hold my pen well, and I couldn’t sleep well.

Normally, it would have been something to sigh and frown, but for some reason, a smile continued to linger on my lips.

It still was.

He didn’t study properly, but he was smiling.

Rie smiled like that, and as she was walking, she saw the classroom next to her.

“ah?”

It was the classroom where Rudy was taking exams.

Lie glanced into the classroom.

A face seen from inside the classroom.

It was Rudy.

“ah… … .”

Rie tried to blush when she saw that face.

I’ve been imagining Rudy a lot these days, but I’ve been avoiding him.

I wanted to meet and joke around and chat, but it was difficult to approach.

Is it because of my imagination at night? When I looked at him, my face grew hot.

Lee clenched his fists.

Can’t we just keep going like this?

Also, today is Rudy’s birthday.

I was going to say happy birthday and have dinner after the exam.

Rie stopped walking as she tried to walk forward.

“… … Shall I tell you after the exam?”

Now a few minutes before the exam.

If you talk to him suddenly, Rudy’s concentration may be disturbed.

I thought it was important to eat together, but the test is more important.

Rie stared intently at Rudy’s back and turned her head.

“I can tell you later.”

***

“after… … !”

good condition

I slept well today.

What I studied is well stored in my mind.

Its contents were so much that I could spit it out like I was reading a book.

While researching, fighting with enemies and studying on my own all become knowledge and linger in my head.

everything was ready.

“do. top.”

I swore one more time by spitting out to myself.

I came out of the dormitory and walked forward, reflecting on what I had studied.

All the students around were holding notebooks or what they were studying.

Everyone was working hard.

I was confident though.

Because I put a lot of effort into it.

Rie’s sudden confession made me think a lot, but I quickly came to my senses.

This thought was done after the final exam.

Thinking about it after that… … .

tuk-

Just then, a man with a gloomy atmosphere passed by, shoving me on the shoulder.

“… … ?”

I shrugged my shoulders and gave a bewildered look.

It was like an apology, but it was just passing by.

“what?”

I felt bad, but I wasn’t very angry.

You shouldn’t be distracted in this place.

I made up my mind again.

You must focus on the final exam.

“… … But, I think I saw it somewhere.”

An inconspicuous black-haired man.

It was already walking in front of me, so I couldn’t see it very well.

However, I felt as if I resembled someone.

“… … Evan?”

There were very few people with black hair.

One of them is Evan.

“Ah, maybe not.”

I immediately shook my head.

I haven’t seen his face these days, but he wasn’t that kind of man.

A person who works hard and concentrates on everything.

Because that was the Evan I saw.

He wasn’t such a gloomy person.

“done.”

I went back to the exam room, reflecting on what I had studied.

“Then, let’s start the exam.”

Robert said in front of the exam room.

As Robert stood in front of the exam hall, it felt a bit awkward.

There was no one who usually lived roughly, only the professor with a serious attitude was in front of him.

nervous.

I was so nervous, my hands were tingling.

“after… … .”

As I took a deep breath to relax, someone tapped my shoulder.

It was Robert.

He patted me on the shoulder as he passed me as he supervised the exam.

It was like working hard.

I was a little puzzled by that look, but it made me smile.

I thought it was Robert.

“Shall I release it… … .”

I spit out words to myself so that no one else could hear me, and I started reading the exam papers.

.

.

.

“I will finish the exam.”

Robert’s voice echoed through the classroom.

I buried my head on the desk.

I don’t know if I did well on the exam or not.

He seemed to have fallen into a state of trance because he was so focused.

I showed a high level of concentration, and I don’t know how the long test time passed.

Still, there was no blockage.

I wrote down the answers as soon as I read the test paper, and when I wrote down all the answers and reviewed them, the test was over.

When all the tension was released, my body felt no strength.

“Come on, everyone, have a good summer vacation.”

Robert said so and was about to leave the classroom.

“ah.”

As Robert was about to leave, he stopped and looked at me.

“Rudy Astria. You come to my lab tomorrow morning.”

“… … yes?”

I said while lying on my stomach, raising my head.

“You have some work to do with me.”

to do?

Is there anything Robert can do for me?

“What are you talking about?”

I raised my head and asked Robert.

“We’ll talk about that tomorrow. Just go and rest.”

“If you say that and tell him to rest… … .”

As I tried to dig in, Robert nodded and pointed back.

“Well?”

back?

When I turned my head, all the students around me were looking out.

outside the window. A woman there.

smart-

I was knocking on the window outside the window.

“Oh, Astina-senpai?”

I looked at her with a surprised face.

This was on the 4th floor.

High enough that an ordinary person could fall and die.

It was only natural for people around to be surprised to be outside the window in such a place.

As I approached there and tried to open the window, Astina smiled.

“Why all of a sudden… … .”

As I opened the window, Astina grabbed my hand.

“Let’s go.”

“yes?”

Astina grabbed her arm and pulled me out.

I leaned out the window a little and looked down.

dark floor.

I looked at Astina again.

“No, this is what, what. Senior, I… … .”

“Okay. I will use magic.”

Astina smiled and moved her mana.

“ah.”

She suddenly changed her expression.

“Let’s just go like this.”

“yes?”

Astina suddenly lifted me up as if hugging a princess.

“No, old man. what is this doing… … .”

“rice.”

Astina chuckled.

“Didn’t you decide to go eat?”

no. It’s good to go eat.

Why the hell are you like this?

“Ugh… … !”

Astina flew into the air holding me.

Obviously I’m a man and Astina is a woman… … .

I was wondering what this is doing.

“If you go out the front door, there will be many obstacles.”

“Then we eat together… … !!!!!! Whoops!!!!!!!”

As I tried to object, Astina began to fly away with great speed.

“Let’s talk about the rest while we eat.”

***

Luna was moving quickly.

The place where you run as soon as the exam is over.

It was Rudy’s classroom.

So far, I have been waiting for Rudy.

You said you would definitely give me an answer, so I guess I’ll just have to wait.

However, I couldn’t just wait for an answer like this.

During that time, I was busy with my studies and research, and Rudy was also busy, so I didn’t see her very much.

“Today is… … ! I have to go see you!”

Today is Rudy’s birthday.

The answer is the answer, and your birthday is your birthday.

As a friend, shouldn’t you take care of this?

Luna, excited at the thought of seeing Rudy’s face after a long time, headed to the classroom where Rudy took the test.

In front of the classroom where Rudy was taking the exam.

“Well?”

“ah?”

Luna and Li met each other.

Luna raised her nerves.

Lee.

In Ena’s words, it was the number one opponent to be on the lookout for.

I met such a person in front of Rudy’s classroom.

‘article… … A little late… … ?’

Luna flinched as she looked at Rie.

‘That’s right. Lee is my friend! friend!’

Luna put a surprised face in and smiled.

“Lee, what’s going on?”

“Ah, um… … .”

Rie looked at Luna with a troubled face.

Lie, who had a face like that, changed her expression immediately.

A triumphant expression… … !

“Rudy, I’m here to meet you!”

Luna flinched at those words and stepped back.

How dare you come out like that… … .

At this, Luna also clenched her fist.

“That, right? Did I come to see Rudy too?”

Luna said proudly.

‘Yeah, no need to panic!’

Luna and Rie exchanged eyes with each other’s triumphant expressions.

They both had their shoulders straight, as if comparing body sizes.

I thought there was nothing behind each other.

It was only natural that we didn’t know each other’s work.

“ah… … Well.”

Then I heard voices around me.

The two, who had been exchanging glances for a while, slowly began to come to their senses.

A situation where people walk around after the exam is over.

People could not pass by because they were exchanging glances at the entrance of the classroom.

“ah… … sorry. that… … .”

“Ahh… … .”

Lie and Luna slightly moved to the side, allowing people to get out.

“Well, shall I go in?”

“Yeah, yes.”

Wherever their confident faces went, they both said cautiously. The two entered the classroom.

“ah?”

“uh?”

The two entered the classroom and looked puzzled at the same time.

there is no rudy

The students have not yet left.

Yet there is no Rudy.

Obviously, the two of us were in front of the classroom, so we should have met if we had left.

“Uh, where did you go?”

“what??”

The two just looked around the classroom with bewildered expressions on their faces.
