I Became The Academy's Narrow-Eyes

20 – Conflict (1)

“ha… ”

“Miss Adrin, why are you sighing like that? Is something bad happening?”

“…”

Aidrin frowned as hard as she could and looked at him and then at her own chest.

17 was written the same way.

“hmm… ”

If you stare at that 17, Ceylon ah! I snapped my fingers.

“I guess you don’t like the number 17? Do you consider it an unlucky number?

“Yes, starting today, 17 is going to be an ominous and irritating number in me.”

“Um, but since it’s a thankful number that brought me and Miss Aedrin together, shouldn’t we hate it so much?”

“It’s the number that unites you and me!?”

oh!!!

Aidrin tousled her lush orange hair with both hands.

“Oh, fluffy.”

“what? A trillion unit test? Are you hearing this for the first time? No, there is no problem with the trillion unit test itself. But why is George the same as him?”

“Miss Aedrin. Just in case, did you have multiple personalities? Or maybe you have twins? I’m not sure if it’s the same person as the person who just said he helped me with my academy life.”

“you idiot! It’s a different story than that!”

“Oh, is it different? Oops, after all, the academy is difficult. If you don’t mind, may I ask what’s different?”

“I said I would help you settle into the academy, I never said I would help you pass the exam! This test is important to me too!”

Aidrin was restless, as if an elaborate plan had collapsed.

The corners of Ceylon’s mouth drew a mischievous arc as he stared at her.

“By the way, Miss Aedrin. That Ceylon, surprisingly, as a colleague, it’s not too bad to pass the test together, isn’t it?”

“what?”

“That’s true, because I got a score similar to that of Miss Aedrin on the second test?”

Aidrin’s eyes widened at hearing those words.

“hey! Also, that nonsense – how can you and I have similar grades! I’m 3rd and you are 6th! I’m not you, it’s a grade that has to be tied together with Drin and Kasha!”

“Hmm~ but-“

Ceylon stared at Aidrin, then fell silent.

“Oh, no. Wow! That’s great, 3 minutes after those two – no, 3rd place.”

“Hey! You and those two are in the 1st squad and I am in the 3rd squad, so I was trying to tell you how to tie them together!”

“Oh my God, Miss Aedrin. How did you know!? I was trying to say how the three of them tied together when the two of them were 1st and 2nd overall and Aidrin was 3rd in the group. Did you even read my mind!?”

“Ughhhhh… !”

Aidrin glared at Ceylon, shivering.

“Ah-cha-cha~”

He deftly averted his gaze and said, ‘Ah! By the way-‘ I took luck to change the topic.

“Miss Adrin, what is the goal you want to achieve in this exam? If you’re about the size of Aidrin, you’ve already passed the exam, so you must be looking for a higher place. Ah, are you aiming for the top spot like me!?”

At that word, Aidrin hahahaha! burst out laughing

He opens his mouth while smirking with blank eyes.

“Ceylon. Ceylon, which means fool?”

“Oh, my name had such a deep meaning… ! I just found out for the first time. Yes, Miss Aedrin. Did you call me?”

“Senior. I’m not an idiot like you who can’t figure out the subject and install it?”

“Well, you don’t have any ambitions.”

“Ambition, it’s like this.”

“No, Miss Aedrin. Think about it. Now, look. It’s the entrance ceremony.”

Aidrin intercepted Ceylon’s words as he raised his index finger and started talking with a very serious face.

“At the entrance ceremony, at the moment of the senior announcement, everyone is waiting for the name to be named, Sir Kasya or Sir. Imagine how thrilling it would be if my name was named?”

“No, how!?”

Ceylon stepped back in surprise.

“Do you know how many times you met me and said that stupid thing?”

“Ohh… Not aiming for first place with such insight… Such a waste…!”

“In the first place, you’re the only one stupid enough to talk nonsense about the ambition to take first place beating Sir Kasha and the sir from the swordsmanship club right now? Without thinking about the senior and second seats, those two occupy them.”

“Hmm… Then, how much is Miss Aedrin aiming for?”

“Me? Well, for now, around 30? I’m aiming for that level.”

“Oh… Around 30th place…”

Aidrin looked at Ceylon’s eyes and furrowed her brow.

“What? That reaction?”

“Ah, I think it’s great. Out of all these people, I’m ranked 30th…! Inside and out! Aiming!”

“No. No. When I saw it, your face just didn’t look like the face of someone who thinks it’s great.”

“…Then what was the person’s face thinking?”

“To? Barely? His face barely tolerated such words.”

Ceylon stepped back, startled once again.

“Do you have the ability to read other people’s minds…!?”

“No, what I need right now is the ability to get rid of you. And coincidentally, I have that ability right now.”

Aidrin raised her fist and stared blankly.

“Ms. Aedrin, please be lenient. For Ms. Aidrin, isn’t ranking around 30 too low?”

“under…”

As I talked to this man, I felt like I was draining myself in real time.

Aidrin sighed exhausted.

“Ceylon. Ceylon, which means fool.”

“Yes, Lord Aedrin. Beauty and mercy and generosity and-“

“Shut up. It seems that your sense of reality has been ruined because you tasted the high air for a second. The people who will occupy the top ranks in this entrance ceremony are the people who live in a world different from ours. It’s a road, okay?”

It was a calm yet lonely appearance unique to those who faced the wall of reality and conformed to it.

Ceylon looked at Aedrin meaningfully, then smiled even more meaningfully.

“You’re underestimating yourself too much. In my opinion, Miss Adrin has enough talent to put herself in the same place as them.”

“I’m sorry. What does Ji know?”

Aidrin shook her head, but burst into laughter, saying that she couldn’t live with Ceylon’s attitude close to certainty.

Who can say to themselves that you have talent comparable to Drin and Kasha?

It was possible for this stupid man.

“Well, now that I think about it, there is some truth in what you said.”

“Okay, that’s it. Shall we aim for first place beating Kasha and Drin?

“Not that, you idiot! If it’s you, it’s not that bad as a member of the crew!”

The 3rd test is a group of 3 people.

Even including Ceylon, there is still one more left.

“If the other person is Sir Kasha or Lord Drin… Passing first place in the 3rd exam may not be an impossible story… ”

“Miss Aedrin. I’m sorry, but isn’t that a sign of wanting to eat it raw? Sir or Kasha I gave you because I wasn’t enough.”

“Sigh, noisy! hey! More than that, you talk a lot from earlier!? Didn’t I tell you to behave well!?”

Having been properly stabbed, she cried out with her face flushing.

“That, and! What’s wrong with this! Everyone besides me must be thinking the same thing!?”

It was as Adrin said.

“Does anyone know what the number of the sutra is!?”

“Where is Sir Kasha?”

“You said Lord Drin is over there!?”

“First, check the number of the two of you!”

Currently, the waiting room is in full swing.

All the participants were crying out for Kasha and Drin with one heart and one mind.

please!

I hope Joey is like those two!

“Hagishi, I don’t know exactly what the test is about, but if I’m in the same group as those two, at least I won’t be eliminated.”

“That, so! I’m not weird!”

“By the way, Miss Aedrin. Think about it. If we get past the group with those two-“

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh, shut up! Follow me!”

“Where are you going?”

“We need to find the rest of the crew.”

Aidrin and Ceylon followed the huge current created in the waiting room.

“Looks like you’re looking for those two, not the rest of us.”

“Yes! I want to be in the same group as you two and eat it on test day! Any complaints!?”

“It can’t be! I agree!”

“really…”

How long has it been since a pair with opposite expressions drifted along the flow inside the waiting room?

It comes into view that there are a lot of toxic participants.

There must be one of them, Drin and Kasha, over there.

“Look over there!”

It was the moment when Aidrin pulled Ceylon’s sleeve and was about to head beyond it.

“You. Wait a minute.”

Someone called Ceylon.

Aidrin stopped at the same time and looked in the direction the voice came from.

Made up of more than 10 aristocratic participants, it was a group that was appropriately called a faction.

Adela, a woman wearing fancy armor, who seemed to be at the center of the group, looked up and down Ceylon once and then asked Melhen, a large man standing next to her.

“Is this one?”

The moment Aidrin saw Melchen’s impressive size, she remembered that he had joined them in the second test.

“Yes, it is him.”

After hearing Melchen’s answer, Adela nodded her chin at Ceylon and spoke in a commanding tone.

“You stand there, look at the number clearly.”

“Hmm? Ah! You must be curious about my number. Here it is.”

When Ceylon stood at attention and said, ‘Let me show you my number,’ the crowd burst into laughter.

Adela also laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.

It was a laugh of contempt.

“He’s a very obedient person. Contrary to what I’ve heard, I should say he’s faithful to his duty.”

“…”

Aidrin’s expression was crumpled at the way he clearly treated Ceylon as a toy.
