Chapter 14 – An Unusual Beginning
Episode 14 – An unusual beginning
My steps walking down the hallway are urgent.
I was currently heading to the reception room. This is because I heard an announcement telling me to come find a guest. Of course, those guests are Isis and Regina.
‘What on earth is going on?’
I thought about it carefully, but I don’t remember anything like this happening before.
Where on earth and what variables came into play did this change occur? Change is starting from something without my knowledge.
In this case, there is only one case that can come to mind.
‘The possessed person intervened.’
You probably don’t know my identity.
It is clear that the possessed person around Isis took some kind of action and was influenced by that to come to visit.
‘Could it be the princess?’
I’m not sure yet, but if Regina Solias is the possessor, it’s going to be quite difficult.
It’s good if you have a moderate tendency, but if that’s not the case and your goal is completely opposite to mine, conflict will be inevitable.
I hope not.
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived in front of the reception room.
Jump up!
Like a fool, I opened the door without knocking.
When I met Skadia, I kicked her vigorously, but that was only possible because it was a mansion, and if I did that here, the repercussions would be quite severe.
A motherfucker is just a motherfucker, not an imbecile who can’t even control his urine.
Inside the reception room, Isis and Regina were sitting side by side enjoying refreshments and tea.
Among them, I made eye contact with Isis.
“Ah… Luan.”
The usual noble atmosphere disappeared, and Isis became restless.
I calmly walked over and sat down across from him.
“What brought you here?”
Isis’s shoulders flinched at the direct question. Her fingers trace the teacup carefully. Their relationship has always been like this. Ever since Ruan Friuli’s inferiority complex began to explode, he stopped talking unless it was absolutely necessary.
Of course, that was only the will of one side, and Isis was actually different.
“… How are you?”
Because after much thought, the words that came out were to ask about my well-being.
“What if I’m not having a good time? Then what are you going to do?”
“… “If there is anything I can help with, please tell me.”
“Is that so? Well, that’s it. Now, stop talking nonsense. Please answer my question. “Why did you come here?”
Isis’s face darkened slightly at the outright rejection. Aside from that, Regina, who was sitting next to her, had an even deeper smile on her face.
That’s very ominous.
‘Why did you follow this bitch?’
Even in games, I always stuck with Isis like gum, but I never thought we would end up together in a place like this.
Isis’ trust in Regina is so great that she even reveals such a sensitive issue.
I focused on Isis again.
“I came here to hear how your day was. I hope you have a good time at the academy. Have you made any friends?”
“… Could it be that you came here for something like that?”
“…”
Isis kept her mouth shut.
His clear silver eyes she were shaking gently, as if he was quite shocked at having his business referred to as such.
When I saw that, I felt a bit of remorse, but I didn’t care.
“Really. If so, there is no need to visit us in the future. Because it’s best for me not to see you. That’s what helps. Did you know?”
“Luan…”
“When we’re done talking, I’ll go.”
I got up from my seat and left the reception room without looking back.
‘I feel really bad.’
When I think of the sullen face of Isis, I feel depressed as well.
Ruan Friuli would definitely have been like this, and from my perspective as I shouldn’t reveal my identity her, it wouldn’t be a good idea to talk to Isis for a long time, but I regret that I may have gone too far.
‘Well, it’s something that can’t be helped.’
The moment she learns the truth, Isis’s attitude will completely change.
I must keep fooling Isis.

After Luan left, there was silence in the reception room for a moment.
Regina, who was examining Isis, opened her mouth.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, the princess. I’m fine. I was just a little disappointed. I thought I might be able to get along well with Luan at the Academy. “It was just my imagination.”
Isis smiles bitterly.
Regina made her cheeky voice, thinking that this wasn’t a bad thing in its own way.
“Then I’m glad. But how long are you going to call me that? “I told you to call me by my first name.”
“But how could it be to the princess…”
“Isis is all good, but is this frustrating? Are you going to keep doing that? Is that all we have between us? I thought we had become close friends over the past year, but it seems we weren’t. Ugh…”
Regina openly appealed, looking exaggeratedly disappointed. Isis, who was secretly weak-hearted, could not help but be shaken by that.
She eventually accepted her offer.
“… All right. Then I’ll call her Mistress Regina. Can I do this?”
“I wish I could just get rid of Nimjado, but it would still be difficult. Good. Please call me that from now on.”
“Yes. Regina. Now, let’s go back to the student council room. His Majesty the Crown Prince will be waiting.”
Isis got up from the sofa.
Regina stood up after her and stood close next to her.
“Huh! Isis. “Can I fold my arms?”
“Yes? That…”
“Why. Didn’t we become closer? You can do this much. No?”
“…”
“You gave permission, right? Thank you!”
Regina, twisting the answer as she pleased, placed Isis ‘forearm between her voluptuous cleavages her.
For a moment, Isis’ body she was shocked.
This is a level of skinship that one cannot help but be conscious of, even if they are the same woman. In particular, it is said that women, unlike men, sometimes feel sexual desire even from people of the same sex.
Regina was excited by the reaction and subtly rubbed her breasts against her forearms.
‘Your brother was helpful this time.’
Was it two days ago?
She suddenly recommended a book about human psychology, asking me to read it.
There were also written instructions on how to subtly guide people. She applied it subtly and encouraged Isis to go straight to see Ruan Friuli.
And the results obtained are now.
I feel sorry for Isis, but I am satisfied that we were able to significantly narrow the gap thanks to you.
‘I finally see hope.’
Regina fell in love with Isis the moment they first met at her founding party six years ago.
From then on, she tried to become friends somehow, but to no avail, and it was only after she entered the academy that she was able to become friends.
But we can’t stop here.
Because Regina wanted more than just her friend.
‘Isis. You are mine.’
I have no intention of giving up.

This is a gym.
Today, we changed into our gym clothes and gathered here to take a close combat class in the morning.
For reference, it is said that wizards like Deborah and Yuni moved to another classroom to take a separate lecture on magic attributes.
Anyway, this is not what is important.
‘It’s still like that.’
The close combat skills lecture is a joint class, and class 3 will be taught together with class 6.
In other words, there are four things to pay attention to here.
Not to mention the main character, Abel, Pernia, who is suspected of being a possessor, and finally, Alyssa, who is currently the one I am most concerned about, are all gathered in one place.
I glanced at Alyssa, who was still standing there without any expression, like a doll, and gave me a frustrated look.
I had guessed about the joint class, but I had no idea that Alyssa had not recovered at all.
It seems like there is a lot of frustration.
Anyone would feel helpless if they knew that they could not retaliate against the scum who raped them.
After all, we have no choice but to use that method.
While I was considering the plan, the students all gathered and Sarah began class.
“Good. Everyone gathered, right? I’ll explain this only once, so listen carefully. First of all, close combat skills will be focused on actual combat. You watch my demonstration and learn it in sparring form. So, two people are paired up, and one person from class 3 and class 6 are mixed together. That way, we will be able to use techniques without hesitation. So does anyone have any questions?”
Naturally, a few hands come up.
“Okay. There, Orland? Ask a question.”
“Thank you. Professor. How is it done? Is it just random? Or will I end up with the person I want?”
“Ho… Is there any girl you want? First of all, the answer is the latter. I’ll have everyone form a group. They’re not children and I don’t need to do it myself. Next. “Rachel.”
After a few questions, Sarah clapped her hands when there were no more hands left.
Wow!
“Now then, let’s all split up and form groups. I’ll only give you 10 minutes. Everyone move!”
As soon as the signal was given, all the students dispersed and started looking for partners.
I also participated in that movement.
“Alyssa. How about joining me?”
“Even so, I ranked in the top 20 on the previous exam. How about doing it with me?”
Alyssa, the temporary class president of Class 6, is surrounded by five students. She would like to improve herself even further by pairing up with her, who is ranked 6th overall.
In comparison, Alyssa doesn’t even respond to a single word, perhaps because she likes it.
It was when I came into view that her attitude changed.
“Oh! Prince Ruan Friuli?”
“Alyssa?”
“Now that I think about it, you two fought during the exam…”
Rumors about what happened during the exam had already spread widely, so students who had guessed about my relationship with Alyssa quietly retreated.
And Alyssa is looking at me with an expression of uncertainty.
“Why don’t we form a group together?”
“You? With me?”
“Okay. What do you want to do? “It’s an opportunity to beat it up legally.”
At that moment, life sparkled in Alyssa’s eyes.
The helplessness that had been eating away at her is pushed away and her anger takes its place.
‘As expected, this is right.’
People live because they have hope. A ray of light coming down from the darkness where you cannot see an inch ahead gives you the will to live.
If you can manage Alyssa’s stress by beating me up, you should take it.
The question is whether I can withstand Alyssa’s hand her…
‘At least I won’t fall behind.’
There are many other students, including Sarah, so I won’t just sit there and watch. Even if it means I become a rag, I will spare my life. The church will heal my wounds, so all I need is my sanity.
Meanwhile, Alyssa, who had shaken off her helplessness, revealed her deep doubts.
“What on earth are you planning?”
“Not really.”
“No way. There must be someone with a plan.”
“So you’re going to refuse? An opportunity like this never comes again. If you don’t like it, don’t. Because I don’t care.”
Actually, it really mattered, but I turned my back on it as if I had no regrets at all.
Even before taking three steps.
“Wait.”
Alyssa caught me.
When I faced her again, I responded by saying that she was now rather annoying.
“Why have you changed your mind?”
“… “Promise me just one thing.”
“Tell me.”
“I won’t hold a grudge over this. “You can’t say you’re going to spread the incident after getting hit by me.”
“Okay. Because I didn’t intend to do that from the beginning.”
In this way, Alyssa and I became a group.
