Chapter 78 – Turning Point

Episode 78 – Turning Point

“Kids, it’s been a while!”

“You too! How have you been?”

The classroom was noisy with the voices of students.

It was natural that the tension was higher than usual, and there were people who were so happy to see each other that they hugged each other and ran around.

As I was ignoring the commotion, I felt a familiar gaze and turned my head towards it.

There were beautiful purple eyes there.

-Luan, it’s been a while. How have you been?

Deborah closes her eyes and smiles.

A face that only I can see because I usually play a mature and chic woman.

Of course, before the vacation, she showed quite a strange appearance to Abel and his group, but since the situation was so unusual at that time, we exclude it.

I responded to her with her smile.

-I haven’t been having a good time?

-Yes?

Wide-eyed pupils.

The surprised expression reminds me of a rabbit.

Since the reaction is so strong, I can’t help but make fun of it.

As soon as I cracked the thread, Deborah realized it was a joke and her lips pouted.

-It’s too much. Luan is bad.

-Why me? Is it true that you couldn’t get along?

-Liar.

Deborah firmly denied it without any hesitation, as if she would not be deceived this time.

That’s a clear mistake.

I mentioned one incident she could never ignore.

-Do you know what happened at the academy two weeks ago?

-… Are you really talking about an attack by the Dark Church? No, right? Surely that doesn’t mean Luan was involved at that time?

-…

I remained silent with sad eyes and a bitter smile.

Then Deborah’s face turned pale.

-Why aren’t you saying anything? Answer quickly! I get it! Did you just say it again? In fact, nothing happened, but you just wanted to make fun of me! … No? Are you really caught up? Please say something!

If this goes on, Deborah will become a piece of trash who dismissed the words of someone who has gone through difficult times as a joke.

Seeing that desperate look, I bit her lip and spoke in a sorrowful voice.

-Actually, it’s nonsense.

-… Huh?

This is really lame. Because it is true that I was caught up. But since it was already in the past, I didn’t want to worry Deborah by mentioning it.

Because it’s more fun to be teased and let her go wild than to be sad.

Anticipating that reaction, she grinned, and then anger appeared on Deborah’s briefly dazed face.

“It! This profit…”

She was so angry that she, who had been talking in her entire voice, started making noises with her mouth.

The fist clenched as if he wanted to hit me right away is impressive.

-Is it fun to make fun of people?

-Yes.

-Then don’t do that next time─ What? What did you just say?

-It’s fun. It’s fun to tease him because he reacts like that every time. I think this is more addictive than gambling?

-See…

Deborah was so appalled by such a shameless response that she couldn’t even open her mouth to say anything and just huffed.

I continued to joke around and quickly apologized before Deborah got upset.

-Sorry sorry. I won’t do it anymore.

-Lies!

-I’ll stop for today at least. So, let go of your anger. Huh?

-After all, we’ll be teasing you again starting tomorrow! Do you do the same to Master?

-Grey Magic Tower Lord? It can’t be.

Even as I answered, I was puzzled.

‘Why is Roxana here?’

Roksana and I only watched from afar during her entrance and vacation ceremonies, so why would she play a prank on her?

It was a little strange, but let’s just say Deborah was excited and made a mistake in her analogy.

I am not a man so bad that I make such a mistake.

-Anyway, I’m sorry. I don’t tease you that often. Since we’ve only met in a month, I think it’s something we’ve accumulated over the years. Now it will take a while to charge.

-What kind of charging is charging? If I do that again, I know it will be a really big problem. Heung!

Deborah snorted and looked away.

However, she observed me from the corner of her eye, as if it was difficult to completely attract my attention.

‘It’s cute.’

That incredibly adorable behavior brought a happy smile to my face without even realizing it.

It was then.

The sound of female students talking reached my ears.

“Look at that. Look what they’re talking about!”

“Really! Can you see those eyes? Those eyes are absolutely adorable! I guess the rumor is true?

“Oh my god! I guess it’s true that I broke off my engagement with Scadia because of Deborah!”

My face became frozen.

When they secretly saw the female students, they screamed softly and pretended to be talking among themselves.

‘What happened?’

The rumors about Deborah and me should have disappeared without a trace by now after a month, but for some reason, they were still alive and well.

I focused on the words behind me.

‘Broken engagement. Is it because of that?’

As the fact about the breakup of the engagement became known during the vacation, it seems to have created synergy with the rumors about Deborah that spread just before the vacation.

If you think about common sense, there is no way that your relationship with Deborah would not have an impact on the breakup of your engagement.

I looked at Deborah as she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She seemed to have heard the conversation of her female students, and was fidgeting with her hands, looking embarrassed.

Meanwhile, a female student who could not control her curiosity approached Deborah.

Her name tag reads ‘Lu Jia.’

‘He’s a horse dildo lover.’

She is the woman who discussed her masturbation device with Deborah in the women’s dormitory bathroom on the first day of the retreat.

“Deborah. “Can she ask me just one question?”

“… “What is it?”

Luzia glanced at me and whispered softly.

“Is the rumor true?

The female students around her listened to Lu Jia’s words. Ordinary people wouldn’t have heard her whispers, but these people here know how to use her magical powers.

Deborah flinched slightly at the attention, but she quickly shook her head.

“Oh, no. It’s not like that. “It’s a rumor.”

“Really?”

“Huh. She’s the rumor that spread before the holidays. Don’t you remember that rumors spread about other kids back then? “Me and Luan have nothing to do with each other.”

Deborah quickly regains her composition and counters logically. In the meantime, were her words too harsh? She does it, and it’s characteristic of her to pay attention to what she thinks.

However, despite her clear explanation, Luzia did not seem to believe it at all.

“Hey, you don’t have to lie to me. How far has the progress progressed? “If she started dating before the vacation, it’s already done, right?”

“Ha, you’re doing it?”

Although Deborah knew what Lu Zia meant, she deliberately pretended not to understand.

Usually, things like this can be easily overlooked.

However, no matter how much she was a classmate, Lujia was not an ordinary person who could deal out casually.

She whispered with clear pronunciation.

“Why are you pretending not to know? I mean sex. Sex.”

“Three, three… ! “I didn’t do anything like that.”

Deborah’s voice is shaking.

She’s not dating, but it’s true that she had sex, so it seems like it’s hard for her to lie.

Fortunately, Luzia did not notice her agitation.

“Really? We’ve been dating her for a month? So how far did you go? Fela? Or just caressing?”

“Ha, ha…”

Deborah’s face turned red as if she was about to explode at any moment due to the endless sex drips.

The purple eyes of her also spin round and round.

‘I’m going to pass out like that.’

It seems like there is a lot of shame.

For me, I didn’t quite understand Deborah’s reaction.

Right after she was raped by me, she acted resolute and mature, but I don’t know why she was so embarrassed when I asked her if she had just had sex.

It was when I was eavesdropping on a conversation across the river, feeling like I was watching a fire.

Grumble!

The door opened and Sarah appeared.

As she entered the classroom, she looked around and was shocked when her eyes met mine. She then turned her head to Lu Jia, who was standing as if looking away.

“Luzia. Take a seat. You guys stop talking too. The school opening ceremony is about to start. “I’ll call attendance first, so everyone concentrate.”

She opened the attendance sheet and slowly began to call out names starting from number 1.

‘Anyway, you’re not looking at me.’

Sarah never made eye contact with me except for the first time.

While calling attendance, I try not to look in my direction in an unnatural way. When I called the student sitting in front of me, I didn’t even raise my head.

“… Luan… Friuli.”

“Yes.”

They even call me by my full name now.

When I think about the fact that I only called her by her first name, I can clearly feel the distance between me and her.

And unlike most students, those who were related to me or who were a little more sensitive noticed that and tilted their heads in confusion.

Deborah even gives her a worried look.

-Luan, did something happen?

I ended up laughing.

I can’t believe you continued to act the same way even though you almost got misunderstood during a conversation like this just now.

Even if a person is too nice, it is a problem.

-Nothing happened. It was just a little fight.

-With the professor? Isn’t that too much of a jerk?

Are they just gangsters?

I am a heinous criminal who cannot be compared to those things.

Deborah couldn’t have imagined that it wasn’t just an argument, but body-to-body, and even rape.

-Anyway, that’s the way it is, so don’t worry about it. Are you spreading even more strange rumors?

The rumor is like a miracle that she cannot grasp.

It may appear and disappear on its own, and there may be cases where it cannot be changed by human power.

If she continues to be involved with me, her own image may also be damaged.

Then, even more strange people who gathered after hearing strange rumors about her might stick to Deborah.

Surprisingly, Deborah did not flinch despite my warning.

-Joy! Does not matter. Next time, I’ll just go to Master. Then everything will disappear?

What does it mean to disappear?

A comment that was nothing special but stimulated my imagination sent a shiver down my spine.

-You are a scary child.

-Do you know that now? If you know, you’ll do well!

I guess I need to refrain from teasing Deborah a little now.

If anything were to be reported to Roxana, her life could become difficult from that day on.

-I’ll keep that in mind.

I answered with a firm resolution and turned my head out the window.

The warm sunlight hits the window and shatters. The reflected light illuminates Deborah and Sarah, respectively.

Warmth and coldness coexisted in my heart.

In that situation, time continued to pass and the school opening ceremony began.

A magic hologram appeared on the blackboard and illuminated Gion Cruz’s face.

[Everyone. Nice to meet you. How was everyone’s vacation?]

Gion started with a light greeting and disappeared after a very brief speech.

Having to keep his mind to himself without rest 365 days a year, he had no time to invest in useless things. Thanks to this, he gained the enthusiastic support of students who, although he did not intend to, did not need to be bored.

The moment when I thought the school opening ceremony was over.

[Everyone! Hello! This is Saint Iris!]

A saintess appeared with her big breasts bouncing.

The somewhat unexpected appearance raises questions and curiosity in everyone’s eyes.

‘What is it?’

And I was shocked. This is because there was no such development originally. In the game, the school opening ceremony was only briefly conveyed through text.

What variables were at play?

The saintess, who was silent for a moment due to her nervousness, pointed her finger at the screen and shouted.

[There are some possessed people among them!]

At the same time, my face became stiff.
