I Became The Academy's Narrow-Eyes

Chapter 35

35 – sequence theorem (2)

‘it’s annoying.’

Adela felt an unbearable annoyance at the sight of Aidrin strutting with a sense of superiority.

And I felt even more embarrassed.

that day.

A social gathering held in Aspien’s mansion.

Adela was brutally defeated by Aedrin in the friendly duel that culminated in the cult’s finale.

Even in front of other people’s eyes.

The defeat came as a huge shock to Adela, who was still young and had grown up in the world.

She thought Aidrin had insulted and looked down on her.

So I made a promise.

Adrin, I promise to return this humiliation to that woman.

He said that he would become a great person that the girl could not match, and that he would look down on her in the same way.

So time passed and we reached the present, and Adela achieved a predetermined goal.

Adela’s swordsmanship achievements were clearly one step ahead of Aedrin’s.

Position in aristocratic society? Not one step, but several steps ahead.

Although Aspien’s influence and the Teln family’s influence in aristocratic society may be similar, Adela’s influence and Aedrin’s influence are incomparable.

Adela wasn’t the type to try to make connections with aristocrats, whereas Adela used to make connections with aristocrats.

advance as an unmanned person.

precede as aristocrats

Therefore, as a human being, I precede.

Adela had no doubt that she was a greater person than Aidrin.

But why?

Now that he was facing Aidrin, he didn’t feel the slightest sense of superiority over her.

On the contrary, I felt an unidentifiable anguish.

why?

Aidrin, Ceylon, because he is more intimate with that man than he is?

‘Stupid.’

that talent.

I admit that the future is promising.

However, for now, Ceylon is nothing more than a commoner who did well in the entrance exam.

It was Adela who was a senior in the academy and had a close relationship with the instructor.

Among Adela, who has numerous connections in aristocratic society, the value of a man named Ceylon is absolutely not great.

But he feels annoyed because Adrin is more intimate with that man than he is?

It’s nonsense.

But I will admit to some parts.

It’s true that it’s hard to see Aidrin flaunting with that man.

‘therefore-‘

Adela thought.

She wasn’t very interested in that man, but he said he’d take him away from her just to see Aidrin’s distorted face.

Adela’s original purpose was changed.

From restoring a relationship with a commoner with exceptional talent, to more than that.

‘Should I go this far…’

I did feel that way.

Aren’t you openly defending Aedrin?

Aren’t you proud of yourself when you bring it up?

It brings shame to oneself by matching insignificant things to one another.

I just wanted to leave like this.

She wanted to restore this humiliation to the two of them by mobilizing all the influence she had within the aristocratic society and academy.

“I’m sorry. Come to think of it, I guess I was too hasty. I think I got ahead of myself because I was impatient because of the mistake I made.”

But be patient.

Because it can be done anytime.

“What just happened. And what happened in the entrance exam. A mistake I made – no, rudeness. I apologize to you both here and now.”

Adela was formal and bowed her head respectfully.

“…”

Aidrin saw that scene again, and her heart weakened, and her expression became trembling.

I never thought he would make such a proper apology.

A person of the size of Adela Aspien would bow her head to Ceylon, a commoner, even if she did so.

As an aristocrat like hers, Aidrin knew how hard it was.

“Miss Aedrin, what do you want to do?”

Then Ceylon asked.

“Huh? Me? What?”

“Will you accept Sir Adela’s apology?”

“No, why did you tell me… How are you?

“Actually, I don’t really care about what happened during the exam. I’m not a person who is sensitive enough to keep in mind each and every look and behavior of others.”

ha ha ha.

Ceylon smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head.

“Hmm. I don’t know about anything else, but it’s undoubtedly true that I don’t have a delicate personality.”

After confirming that the atmosphere had calmed down a bit, Miz quietly intervened.

“what the.”

Aidrin laughed and shook her head.

“So, I just care about Miss Aedrin’s feelings. After all, the situation was probably more embarrassing for Miss Aedrin than for me.”

“… What, what? You?”

“yes?”

Aidrin took a step back from Ceylon in embarrassment.

‘Hey, why do you speak so beautifully?’

Adrin’s attitude was so admirable that she said, ‘Do you like me!?’ I was about to ask

However, seeing Ceylon’s appearance, he confirmed that he did not have a special intention, and he cleared his throat in embarrassment and turned away.

“Oh, no. Well, so. What about me? Um- well, okay. If you are, then I don’t really care.”

“Hey~ You can be so cool!”

“Are you cool?”

“Ah, angry? Hot? Cool? It’s a word with roughly that meaning. It seems like a perfect word for Miss Aedrin right now.”

“Funny. First time hearing that. Is it your hometown dialect? Or another language?”

“If you insist on arguing, you’re right? Anyway, Sir Adela? It’s fortunate. Miss Aedrin is so generous. Miss Aedrin has forgiven me, so I’ll forgive Sir Adela!”

“Poem, Ceylon…!”

“Uh, hey-“

Aidrin panicked and called Ceylon over.

Even Miz, who was watching the situation from the sidelines, was clearly taken aback.

No matter how lowly Adela apologized and asked for forgiveness, Ceylon, a commoner, said, ‘I will forgive you’ to a high-ranking noble like Adela.

From noble mtl dot com

It was an obvious rudeness that even Aedrin and Miz, who were relatively informal, could take it lightly and say, “Eww, idiot.”

“…”

Sure enough, blood vessels appeared on Adela’s chin and temples as she smiled gracefully.

“Ugh…! Maybe I made a mistake…!”

“Okay, it’s okay.”

Adela gritted her teeth and answered with difficulty.

“Ceylon is an academy cadet like me. You don’t have to be so formal. Above all, Ceylon is unfamiliar with such ‘properties’. You know that I didn’t say it with impure intentions, so I don’t care?”

Literally, Adela really thought that Ceylon had made a mistake by not knowing the manners of the aristocratic world.

But why?

The narrow eyes of Ceylon, who were sorry to see him, seemed to be laughing very happily while looking at him for some reason.

‘My mood… is it because of it?’

Adela managed to calm herself down and regain her characteristic graceful and dignified air.

“So, Ceylon?”

“yes?”

Now it was time to get to the point.

“Back on topic, could you give me some time now?”

“What is it? Ceylon accepted the apology, isn’t it over?”

I asked Ceylon, and the answer came from Aidrin.

Naturally, the fact that Adela had accepted Adela’s apology did not mean that the relationship between the two was reborn as friendly.

From a relationship that explicitly reveals that rejection, it just became a relationship that reveals that rejection subtly.

As if hiding Ceylon in her pocket, Aidrin stood in front of him and answered instead.

“… It’s nothing else, I want to invite Ceylon to Aspien’s mansion in the vicinity from now on.”

Aidrin opened her mouth and looked at Ceylon.

what did i say

Was it a promiscuous support group?

It sounded like a voice like that.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but will you please stop making a fuss? I’m having a simple banquet tonight, and I’m just inviting you there.”

“Is it a banquet?”

Ceylon, who had been thinking about how to solve food, clothing, and shelter from today until entering the dormitory, responded to the keyword ‘banquet’.

Three questions popped into his mind now.

Oh, can you wash it?

Food, do you want to eat?

Lord, will you let me sleep?

Adela, who read the interest, quickly continued.

“It’s a celebration of successfully completing the entrance exam, and I think it’s a fitting occasion for Ceylon. No matter what anyone says, he was the main character of today’s entrance exam.”

“Yeah~ It’s even about being the main character~”

“I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Ceylon once again and congratulate them- How can you brighten up the place?”

“for a moment!”

After confirming that Ceylon’s reaction wasn’t too bad, Aidrin hurriedly intervened.

“Ceylon, come to think of it. Where and how are you going to be staying from now until the entrance ceremony begins?”

“hahahaha, I was just thinking about that. I came to Arien with the intention of passing the entrance exam and seeing you.”

“Then! Until the entrance ceremony, would you like to stay at our Teln mansion nearby?”

“Hey, Aidrin?”

Adela called out to Aidrin in a somewhat strained voice.

“I’m proposing to Ceylon right now, isn’t this the case?”

“In that case, Adela is not the case, is it?”

“Hmm, why would that be?”

“Today, I was the one who shared the joys and sorrows with Ceylon in the 3rd exam. If the person who deserves to be the first to congratulate Ceylon, wouldn’t that be me?”

“And I. Ceylon’s teacher, Ms. Bower.”

Miz interrupted, pointing at herself with her thumb.

Aidrin smiled happily.

“Ah, of course Miz. How about the reason for that? Ceylon. A simple banquet is going to be held at our mansion. Would you like to join it? Also, after the banquet is over, you can just stay at our mansion. Feel free to. There are plenty of empty rooms.”

“There are many vacant rooms in our mansion, right? A proper room. Ceylon. If you come to our mansion, we will treat you as a guest.”

“Ceylon, the chef at our mansion is one of the best chefs in Arien, so you can look forward to it.”

“Ceylon? The chef at our mansion is Arien’s most skilled chef? You know the nearby five-star restaurant Readymo? Where does the name Readymo come from?”

Ceylon.

Ceylon?

How long had it been since the showdown between the two of them boasted of their mansions?

“Above all, Ceylon. If you attend our banquet, I’ll introduce you to other nobles.”

Adela pulled out her trump number.

“Other nobles? I’m not talking about the subordinate who made fun of Ceylon with you today, are you talking about your close friends?”

Aidrin kept it in check, but Adela was as relaxed as ever.

“Could it be that they are the only nobles I can introduce to Ceylon? As Aidrin knows, I have pretty wide feet here in Arien, right?”

“…”

Conversely, Aidrin, who had narrow feet in Arien, kept her mouth shut.

“Most of them are people who wield considerable influence in the city. Among them, there are also people from the Academy. Let me introduce you. I guarantee you, it will be of great help to your academy life.”

“Oh… it’s no joke. If Ceylon doesn’t go, I’d rather go instead.”

Adela immediately responded to Miz’s muttered words.

“Miss Baurer, would you like to honor Ms. Baurer if possible?”

“Oh, what a windfall this is.”

“Miz!?”

Aidrin opened her eyes and looked at her.

“Kuhmm, kidding. Of course it’s a joke. It’s an embarrassing reaction. By the way, Aedrin. I’m asking just in case. What if I really went there?”

“Keuug! You don’t need it, so go away!”

“Um. That’s right. Shall we go to Ceylon?”

“Leave Ceylon and go, you Bower!”

“To use Bower as an insult…!”

Miz is mouth-to-mouth! He groaned and fell to the floor.

Adela smiled triumphantly and asked Ceylon.

“So, so. Ceylon. What would you like to do?”

“Ceylon…?”

Aidrin asked Ceylon with a lack of confidence.

Ceylon looked at the two of them alternately and carefully opened his mouth.

“Come~Now, everyone. Calm down. Finally, Ms. Ms. came up with a perfect compromise.”

“Huh? Me?”

“How about doing this? Me, Miss Miz, and Miss Aedrin all get along well and attend Lord Adela’s banquet. Being introduced to the nobles will be a good opportunity not only for me, but for the two of you as well.”

“That’s a good idea!”

Unlike Adela, Aidrin’s reaction was cold.

Even Miz, as if what he just said was a joke, reacted coldly.

“Hey, hey. Stupid. Are you serious?”

“Ceylon, are you serious…?”

“Ah, then-what about this…! First, Sir Adela will attend the banquet at Miss Aedrin’s mansion, and then we will all attend the banquet at Sir Adela’s mansion.”

“…Are you serious?”

Even Adela reacts coldly.

“What’s that infantile way of thinking where you think everything is good without fail? Are you like that? Food is all mixed up in the stomach anyway, so are you the kind of person who stirs and sees beautifully placed food on a plate with a spoon?”

Miz tried to lighten the mood with a silly joke, but the atmosphere in the place only grew colder.

‘What should I do with this…’

At this point, Ceylon had judged Adela as ‘It would be beneficial to me and Aidrin to coexist at a reasonable distance rather than to lose Chuck at all’.

It was the reason why he was torn between Aidrin and Adela in this situation.

He decided that if he introduced the nobles attending the banquet hosted by Adela to Aidrin and Miz, it would be of great help to them in their academy life.

However, they did not want to participate in the banquet hosted by Hansako Adela.

‘It can’t be helped.’

In this case, there was only one option.

It was just as Ceylon was about to apologize to Adela to talk about that choice.

“Ceylon.”

A calm, but clearer voice came out than any other sound.

The golden hair and blue eyes, which were more vivid than gold and sapphire raw materials, harmonized with a cold expression, reminiscent of a huge jewel that was delicately processed.

An atmosphere that even creates a sense of awe in the opponent.

“Huh? Lord Drin!?”

A swordsman who stood more static than anyone else in this place where countless people come and go, but emits a stronger presence than anyone else in this place.

It was Drin, the daughter of the 8th family, Rebringer.

When she found Ceylon, she sighed deeply.

“I’ve been looking for a long time.”

“Yes? Me?”

“I remembered what you said.”

“Is that what I said?”

“It was like that when you just met me. You came to Arien recklessly to take the entrance exam without any countermeasures.”

“Yes?”

“I’m asking just in case, have you found a place to stay tonight?”

“Uh… no?”

“I thought so. Bona mana, you must have been trying to find a place to stay from now on.”

“Yes?”
