Chapter 186 – Midterms

“Ugh… I’m going to die, what time is it now?”

When I opened my eyes, the fatigue that seemed like death came over me. It was hard to get up as if I had been tied to the bed, but I managed to get myself up.

“Are you okay, Artin? My complexion is so bad…”
“..Yes, good morning Unicor. Didn’t I oversleep? It’s a test today.”
“Ha, you still have time, so lie down a little longer, or tell Shion that I can prepare the bath water for you.”

Seeing the state of my complexion, Unicor looked at me with very worried eyes and hugged me tightly.

I held Unicor in my arms and patted it at the soft touch and the warmth that made me forget the fatigue that wrung my whole body.

“Don’t worry too much, sirka, an expert, is helping you, right?”
“But…”
“I also agree with Unicor. Is this not something you would do sanely?”
“Ah, hello Sirka.”

At that time, Sirka, who was controlling my dreams, appeared.

No, it might be a bit strange to say control. It might be more accurate to call it special training.

“Master, will you stop tonight? Giving up on sleeping and using your unconscious to study isn’t something normal humans would do?”
“Yeah, that’s right. No matter how great a human being is, it is necessary to sleep and rest, but isn’t this part that can be solved by drinking a nutritious tonic?”

Seeing Unicor and Sirka’s worried expressions, I couldn’t say anything to refute, so I just forced a smile.

The past few days, I gave up on sleeping and devoted myself to training, thinking that I was lacking in study and training.

It’s not just that I didn’t sleep and studied. In the previous case of the rose garden, Violet’s unconscious space, a training method using the difference between reality and conscious time…

To put it bluntly, I borrowed the training method in a space where time slows down that I saw in animations before.

‘Honestly, when I first thought of it, I was so impressed that I wondered why I hadn’t thought of this until now.’

I live the same time as others, but I can study several times more than others! I thought it would be stupid not to do this, but Shirka stopped me from doing that.

And I thought I knew why. Certainly, I could clearly feel that my body and mind were getting worse day by day.

If I hadn’t signed with Unicor, wouldn’t my body have been able to hold on? If it hadn’t been for Sirka, she might have returned without being able to wake up from unconsciousness.

“Don’t you worry too much? If you feel like you’re going to die, you can just pay for the elixir and drink it. You guys will have nothing to worry about.”
“Fatigue is not the problem! If you fall into unconsciousness more than this, the gap between the body and the mind will become more severe. It really can’t happen… No, is it strange that my master has endured so far?”

It’s a gap between the body and the mind, that’s what I heard a lot from Shirka when I started this training.

But what can I do, I said that I would focus on my studies, but as much as I spent time with women, supplementation was necessary.

Of course, it might be possible to win the bet even at the previous level… But I wanted to raise the level to the point where I was more confident than the odds.

In addition, the biggest side effect, the separation between the body and the mind, is a side effect that I have no problem with. If that was a problem, he would have died right after returning.

‘This must also be a perk for the regressor in the status window, right?’

Well, it was good. Thanks to this training method, for the past few days, I have been able to see the written test perfectly to the extent that even I was surprised.

“Since the only thing left is the practical test, I promise to spend time with you guys while resting well after the practical test is over, so it’s a secret from the other kids?”
“… Heh, are you making a promise with me? Also, if you overdo it and get hurt or hurt, you will get really angry!”
“Really, what would you do if Agnes or Miss Violet found out…”
“Haha, then I have to beg for it, what should I do?”

Only three people know about this practice. No, should I say one person and two different races?

Unicor helps the body recover, Sirka helps control the unconscious, and she helped care throughout the special training period.

“Oh, are you awake, young master? I prepared everything, including meals, a bath, and a change of clothes.”

When I left the room, Shion, who has been doing all the work for the servants lately, greeted me politely and was waiting for me.

“Um, thank you every time, Shion. She’s not even a maid, and I’m sorry she asked for all the maid’s chores.”
“Whoa♡, what are you talking about? If it’s what the young master wants, can he do it as much as he wants? If you want, you can take care of the young master in a maid outfit…”
“I will ask for that later. First, ask for a meal.”
“Yes! I’ll serve soup, bread, and a light salad. Bocchan~♡”

At my words, Shion disappeared into the kitchen to prepare her meal with a much happier face. Shall we wash up while the meal is being prepared?

‘At first, I was very worried about how to appease that yandere, but after the rose crown incident, I’ve become a lot calmer.’

To be precise, after 4P, Shion was satisfied with the occasional ‘compensation’ I gave, and faithfully fulfilled the requests like my shadow.

No, it would be fair to say that I pretended to be satisfied. It’s because it’s obvious that he always looks at me and makes an effort to become an ‘ideal close friend’.

Is it because of the guilt that has plagued me since childhood? It may be because of the fear of being excluded from the harem if he did not bow down like this. Because the position in Shion’s harem is close to the bottom.

Can not help it. Because Shao-Mei, who has been with Artin since childhood, told everyone about the process of Artin’s destruction before I was possessed, even Violet is reluctant to Shion.

Of course, if I ask her to forgive me, I’ll pretend to do that… But it’s funny that I, who is not the party to her, completely forgives her without her will her.

“Bocchan, is the temperature of the bath water okay?”

…Well, it seems that the person himself is satisfied with this life.

“From today, it’s finally the practical test! The writing hell is over!”
“Haha, you like it so much, Xiao Mei?”
“Sure! I even took supplementary classes from my older brother, but if my score is low, it’s a big deal, right? So how much did you practice!”

Seeing Xiao Mei jumping around with joy, I couldn’t help but smile as a father.

While I was studying all my time, I heard that Xiao Mei also enlisted Violet and Agnes’s help to get a good look at her notes.

“Artin, are you ready too? Your goal isn’t to score well like Xiao Mei, right?”
“Ha, Zorba, it’s okay because I’m not weak enough to worry you.”
“It’s hard to believe that he was a guy who, until two months ago, locked himself in his room and suffered from depression.”
“No, are you really more concerned about Master Zorba than brother Artin? Did you do well on the test?”

Seeing Xiao Mei’s stern gaze, Zorba shrugged her shoulders and gave her a confident smile.

“While Artin was working hard, I had a training camp with the women of my harem. You can use 2-circle magic as well?”
“…What? Really?”
“I learned the basics of swordsmanship and martial arts based on what I learned from following you. It makes me sad to think of him as the old Zorba Felkas.”

Seeing Zorba shouting confidently, I felt unfair for some reason. When I first learned magic, I couldn’t even understand how to handle mana, so I twisted my body. How many weeks did you reach the 2nd circle?

‘Damn you, you’re such a talent, I wish Artine’s body was as talented as yours..!’

When I stared at her unjust heart her, Zorba shrugged her shoulders as if she understood my feelings her.

“Oops, don’t feel unfair, Artin, the real genius around you isn’t me, is there someone else?”
“…A real genius?”
“Yes, that guy, no, should I say that woman?”

Drooling.

When the door was opened by Zorba’s touch her, her noisy classroom her instantly became quiet. No, should I say that the men around her became quiet?

“Khhhhh, then I’ll let you know the next time we attend our gathering!”
“Hey, you, a commoner, can be thankful that you were invited to our tea time!”

I don’t know why, but the guys who were watching me started to go back to their seats. I tried to ignore the eyes of the female students who looked at those guys with cold eyes.

…It’s not that I don’t understand the feelings of those guys.

“…Ah! You’re here! Good morning, partner!”

Kai… Or Karen, who had been surrounded by men until just a moment ago and had an expressionless expression as if she had no interest in anything, smiled happily at me.

When a bright smile was added to her appearance of her, it seemed that she knew what the expression ‘Kyungkukji color’ meant. Is this the feeling of a shining flower shining in the moonlight and smiling brightly at me?

Claire’s presence her, looking at us from the side and greeting us warmly, was buried in the light and disappeared, revealing an overwhelming presence in this classroom.

“Ugh… Don’t you get tired of it? No, how are you trying to seduce me when everyone knows it’s Cayenne?”
“How can Cayenne’s appearance her as a woman stand out more than the bridle of her gender her? I don’t like it, so I can’t understand it. Isn’t that Artin?”
“..Ugh, ugh. Right. I don’t understand.”

I gave her a small nod and slowly sat down next to Karen.

“Starting from today, yes, are you ready to press the bridge of the crown prince’s nose?”
“Ugh, yeah. Well, the Heavenly Demon-nim and Marianne-sama also coached her, so should n’t we set a new record for her?”
“…Wow, that’s disgusting. Since when did you pretend to be so bright just because you had a bright personality?”

Just as Xiao Mei said, when I sat next to her, Karen spoke to me in a voice so bright that I couldn’t imagine the Cayenne from before.

…Has the nature changed? No, considering the reaction I show to other boys, I wonder if my personality, which is the essence, is the same.

‘As expected, after what happened that day, your personality has brightened..?’

That moment when I recall the events of the day without even realizing it.

Malkan♡ Malkan♡

“…?”
“Shh.”

Unbeknownst to Xiao Mei, Karen poked her leg under her desk with the toe of her black stocking.

Even that was n’t enough, she smiled bewitchingly as she pressed her breasts against me, and slowly, very slowly, stroking my thighs with her hands Her… Up…

“…!”

Flash, I was startled and got up from my seat, and Xiaomei, Zorba, and Claire looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“Why are you suddenly like this brother?”
“Oh, no. All of a sudden, a bug came flying…”
“Bug? Brother, you’re not afraid of bugs, are you?”
“I’m surprised when I run into it while thinking of something else… I’m sorry…”

I sat down to hide my embarrassment. And at the same time, I was glad at Karen, who was delighted by teasing me.

“Fufufu♡ There’s no need to be so surprised by a light prank, right?”
“…”

Karen brought her index finger to her mouth as if savoring the ‘touch’ she had just felt with her fingertips her.

However, looking at Karen like that, I couldn’t say anything.

Since that day, his relationship with Karen has become very strangely entangled, and it has become difficult to speak out loud.

“Consider this… My light cheering, okay partner?”
“Bad taste…”

…Yeah, I couldn’t say anything to Karen with that bewitching eye smile.
