Chapter 35 – Retreat

Episode 35 – Retreat

As soon as I passed through the warp gate, what I saw was a dense forest. A huge training center is built against a backdrop of a forest full of green.

As I was breathing in the fresh air and looking around, a professor approached me.

“Student. Come out now. Because the next person has to move too.”

“Ah yes. I understand.”

With dazzling blonde hair and clear emerald eyes that fit well in the forest. This woman, who looked like a typical noblewoman, was Serlin Madres, the professor in charge of Class 1.

She is the second daughter of the writer Madrethu and majors in magic. Despite her rough personality, she was popular with her students for her beautiful appearance.

However, she often bickered with Sarah and showed her broken side.

After leaving my seat, I moved to the side of my Class 3 friends who had moved earlier.

They were looking over the retreat schedule and chatting amicably.

‘It’s peaceful.’

I feel at ease knowing that I can escape from civilization for the first time in a long time and relax without any worries.

Of course, you don’t know what variables will occur, and that doesn’t solve anything by worrying.

While I was staring at the passing clouds without thinking, all the students passed through the warp gate and arrived at the training center.

The professors in charge entered the training center, leading their respective students.

When we arrived at the spacious main auditorium, the training center staff who had been waiting in advance immediately began the enlistment ceremony.

“Everyone at Solias Academy. Welcome to the training center. “My name is Arlan and I will be helping you with your training for three days.”

The enlistment ceremony was very low-pressure.

It wasn’t a method of crawling on the floor to prop it up, but it was a gentle enough method that you could feel that they were treating you like a proper person.

I expected it, but when I actually saw it with my own eyes, it couldn’t have been that fresh.

And suddenly I felt unfair.

‘Okay. This is normal.’

When I was attending school on Earth, interest in student human rights was not yet very high, so there was a lot of corporal punishment.

In particular, his regular comments that I heard whenever I came to the training center were still deeply engraved in my mind.

-This instructor can be either a devil or an angel depending on your actions!

-Of all the schools I’ve seen so far, this is the worst!

I always thought it was bullshit every time I heard it, but I couldn’t say it out loud.

Because I was a child with good social skills who could say yes when everyone else said yes.

While I was in a situation of mixed emotions and thinking about the past, the enlistment ceremony quickly came to an end.

Sarah called us together.

“Okay, now let’s all go to our rooms, unpack and rest. I know that because I will lead you to the restaurant when lunch time comes. Follow me!”

For reference, rooms are assigned in numerical order.

The male students who shared the same room as me had a displeased expression on their faces, but they didn’t do anything.

If you show off for no reason, you probably think you don’t know what this bastard will do.

‘I suddenly feel uncomfortable.’

I clicked my tongue in an uncomfortable feeling and decided to boldly turn off my nerves.

Anyway, when night falls, like in any school, they will move to the room where their friends are and play.

In fact, if I did that, it would be like having the whole room to myself.

Sleep well, whatever.

After a while, I arrived at the room, went inside with my roommates, put our luggage in the corner, and headed to my bed.

There’s nothing to do until lunch anyway, so it’s wiser to get some sleep.

‘But what if these bastards don’t wake up?’

Skipping meals while sleeping is a problem.

After thinking about it, I quickly shook my head thinking that it was a useless worry.

At lunch time, all three classes will move at once, but it is not so dark that I cannot wake up even if I hear the noise.

I closed my eyes in peace.

‘Is it obstacle running in the afternoon? .’

Thinking about the future schedule.

*

A few hours later, after finishing the obstacle run and taking a shower in my room, I headed to the restaurant for dinner.

The moment you receive your food and find your seat.

“Hey, friend. “I just see it from here.”

“Luan, hello!”

Yas and Abel appeared from nowhere and stood on either side of me.

It was a bad development.

‘Abel is awkward…’

Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anyone paying attention to this area, but if the possessed person were to see some extra bastard hanging out with the main character, it could arouse unnecessary suspicion.

After thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to move on smoothly here.

“Okay. Hi. But what happened all of a sudden?”

“Uh-huh! Friend, why are you so sad? What must happen? I’m just asking you to eat together. Is not it? Abel.”

“Huh. That’s right. I just came here because I saw Luan. “Can we eat together?”

The questioning look is cautious.

He had eyes like a puppy that was about to be abandoned, and I couldn’t say no.

“Do whatever you feel like. Because it doesn’t matter.”

“Thank you. Then, let’s find a seat!”

At Abel’s suggestion, we quickly looked around. The restaurants are so crowded now that it’s not easy to find an empty seat.

It was a time when I was wandering around.

“Abel! It’s here! Come this way!”

Uni called out to us from over there, waving her hand.

“Oh, there’s a seat over there! Let’s go too!’

“Hurry, hurry! “I will lose my seat!”

“Don’t push. The soup is pouring.”

As I headed towards Uni, slightly annoyed by Yasu pushing my back, I suddenly made eye contact with the female students sitting next to him.

“Nice to meet you. “I am Pernia.”

“… “What are you looking at?”

Unlike Pernia, who lowered her head favorably, Alyssa rolled her eyes cynically.

The red-tinged blonde hair she gave off a luxurious feel, and the red eyes burned as vividly as flames.

She stared at me dissatisfied and then turned her head away as if she didn’t even want to deal with me.

Abel, who was just about to put down her tray, stopped when she saw that awkward appearance of her.

“Uh… “Should we look somewhere else?”

Abel’s eyes couldn’t stay in one place and he went back and forth between me, Alyssa, and Yuni.

Just before his back he was fully straightened.

“Just sit down.”

“Huh?”

“Sit down. Because I don’t care anyway.”

“Oh, yes.”

Alyssa’s words forced her Abel’s buttocks to sit on her chair.

And Yas pushed my back again.

“Sit down, sit down!” They say it doesn’t matter.”

It would be even more ridiculous to decline here. I sat down quietly. It was fortunate that it wasn’t across from Alyssa.

The meal continued in such awkward silence.

In the end, Yuni couldn’t bear it anymore and opened her mouth to try to lighten the mood somehow.

“Anyway, Alyssa was so cool earlier! “Don’t everyone think that way?”

“That’s right! “I won all the obstacle races!”

“That’s right. Did you know that I also had a hard time competing with the class president of Class 5? What did you say your name was? I don’t really remember. Yass, don’t you know? “We’re in the same class.”

“If you’re class president, are you talking about Oscar Caldrick? I don’t know either. We don’t get along very well. “He’s as closed-minded as he looks, and he pesters me every day, telling me to refrain from saying vulgar things.”

Yass shook his head.

He looked like he was just tired thinking about it.

Oscar Caldrick is the successor to a famous knightly family and has a just personality.

She is a supporting character with a significant role in the game. Unfortunately, she did not appear as a playable character, but I remember her being quite popular with female users due to her good looks.

In any case, it is no exaggeration to say that her personality is completely opposite to that of Yaswa, who always makes sex jokes.

Uni tilted her head at Yasu’s violent reaction.

“Okay? To me, he seems a bit stiff but has a good personality.”

“Oh, not at all. How annoying. Anyway, women like everything as long as they look good? Yes? Abel.”

“Uh? That…”

“What.”Are you pretending to be her girlfriend now?”

“Oh, no! “How many times do I have to tell you that it’s not like that?”

Abel jumped up and denied it.

He might think Yas is being mischievous, but he always gives such cool reactions that make anyone want to make fun of him.

And in the meantime, Yuni’s face turned red and she cupped her cheek and muttered:

“W-he said he was my girlfriend… Haha!”

She looks like a girl in her prime.

As I watched the series of events from a distance, I sighed.

“Ugh…”

“Whoa…”

At the sound of intersecting breaths, I raised my head and made eye contact with Alyssa.

She was shocked that she had someone to sympathize with for a moment, but then she frowned and fell as soon as she realized it was me.

And as he cut the steak mercilessly with a knife, it felt as if he wanted to cut you up like this.

I was so shaken that I had no choice but to lower my head and quietly scoop up my food.

‘Starting tomorrow, I’ll just go to the canteen.’

I wondered if it was necessary since the food was just as good as in a hotel, but if you’re going to get noticed like this, it’s better to just spend a little money.

Under those circumstances, the meal ended quickly, and we returned the tray and went out.

Abel and Yuni seemed to be whispering something behind the scenes, and then they looked at their companions and left a few words.

“Okay then, everyone. “I’ll talk to Yuni and then leave.”

“Alyssa! Pernia! Go in first and rest. “I’ll be back soon.”

Afterwards, the two waved their hands and headed to a rest area full of lovers.

Yasu grumbles while looking at the back.

“That traitor. Make her pregnant.”

“… Crazy guy.”

Anyway, how can I leave such a bad comment to my friend… Jealousy is something that makes humans infinitely ugly.

As Yas was chewing on his personality, Pernia opened her mouth.

“Then we’ll go too.” See you next time.

“…”

However, unlike Pernia, Alyssa remained silent. She didn’t even make eye contact with me. She only gives Yasu a glance and then she just turns her back and walks away.

As she was staring at her back, Yasu subtly poked her in the side.

“Aren’t you following me?”

“… “What?”

“Isn’t this a chance for reconciliation? They say that when a place changes, a person’s mood also changes. Maybe they will accept it easily.”

Yasu’s face she was serious for some reason.

I was silent for a moment and then firmly denied the sincere advice.

“No. Simply changing the location is meaningless. Alyssa would want to kill me right now if she could.”

“Okay? Hasn’t the sense of distance decreased considerably? “I don’t know if it’s the first time, but I don’t think it’s the time.”

“It’s okay. “If you’re going to keep nagging me, I’ll leave.”

“Ay! Let’s go together! “I won’t say anything now!”

My relationship with Alyssa does not change.

I am the rapist, she is the victim.

It was nothing more or less than that.
