NOVEL NEXT Chapter 313
313 – Date (Duel) Application
“ Everyone stop moving──!!! What is everyone doing here during morning class?!”
A somewhat angry woman’s voice resonates.
The voice was so sharp that everyone started and their whole bodies trembled.
“Huh? This voice couldn’t be… ?”
“Chiit-! Is it a vice principal?”
At the same time, they fall away from each other,
Sophia and Rayleigh say one word at a time.
A fight almost broke out at any moment,
The situation ends in an instant.
Anxiety suddenly appeared on their faces.
Even though they were fourth graders,
In front of the professor, I am just an immature student.
Both of them had no choice but to let down their anger that was boiling over with expressions of resentment.
“… You guys! Why are you outside? “4th graders must be busy with theory classes right now, right?”
On the other hand, Benetric let out a sharp voice as if he had caught it well.
-Again! Again!
She approaches, projecting her haughty and authoritarian personality into the sound of her high-heeled shoes.
‘Are there just two people, Sophia and Rayleigh?’
These two people were the only people in Benetrick’s field of vision right now. The breeder is currently hidden behind a wooden pillar.
“The guys who may be responsible for the peace of the continent are always growing among themselves… Are you really worried about the future?”
Benetrick, who did not know the details of the situation, took a bold step forward to encourage the students to deviate.
A small hill located inside the academy.
It wasn’t that far away,
As the saying goes, it is dark under the lamp. It was a place where it was easy to avoid the eyes of professors.
Rather, because it was located inside the academy, it was one of the places where professors rarely reached. In terms of the military, it would be like a dark and remote corner of a military warehouse?
I guess I thought it would be okay here…
It’s something I wouldn’t even dare to do in front of me!
You already figured out all the places that older students like to visit last semester?
Benetrick raises her nose high and looks down at Sofia and Rayleigh.
“School, vice-principal…”
“Okay… !”
At this, Sofia and Rayleigh blurt their words and avoid eye contact.
No matter how much they fly and crawl in their later years,
I didn’t have the talent to dare to challenge the professor.
Because I was a being who had been eating away at time for much longer than them.
“Sophia? What were you doing here with Rayleigh? The famous student council president even skips class?”
“Excuse me… Professor? Well, that means…”
Sophia stutters in response to Benerick’s question.
She couldn’t open her mouth easily.
Even though he missed class with the principal’s permission, he was too far out of the loop to make an excuse like that.
“I guess there’s something holding me back? “Why can’t I answer?”
“…”
“Okay, then Rayleigh? Let me ask you. “What were you doing at this time when class was in full swing?”
“Well, that is…” ” ” After receiving permission from the principal, I went on duty in the lounge—”
“Huh? Okay, so what on earth is the person on duty in the break room doing in such a remote place? Even if I think about it with common sense, I still can’t understand it?”
“Ugh… !”
“Why can’t I speak? Did the principal tell you to pull out some weeds?”
As expected, Benetrick could not be fooled by lame excuses. Rather, it only heightened her suspicions.
‘Shit… ! She came along with the purpose of somehow getting Sofia away from Junior… Did you ever think you’d get caught by the vice principal? Anyway, my plan to find out Junior’s identity… !’
‘Ha, when will I be able to enjoy an intimate date alone with Mr. Breeder?’
“”…””
Both of them just muttered to themselves.
I couldn’t make any more excuses.
I just hung my head down like a honey-dipped mute.
As expected, the 4th grader’s jokes did not apply to Benetrick, who was a principled person.
Could it be that I have a personality that lacks flexibility?
He was competent and taught the class well,
He was a professor who had a hard time communicating with students.
“This isn’t going to work. It’s already shameful that you got dinged, but how dare you bring up the principal’s name? For now, let both of you follow along! I warned you like that last time, but now Sophia…”
Benetrick shakes his thin gold-rimmed glasses and trails off as if he is disappointed.
“… Hey, wait a minute.”
But that was then.
“Huh? What? This voice can’t be… ?”
“These ladies, are you on duty in the break room today?”
The breeder, who had been quietly watching the situation, appears from behind the tree as if there was nothing he could do.
“Huh?! Well, why are you there… ?”
As soon as he saw the breeder, Benetric took a step back. Her yellow eyes widen.
“As the manager of the break room, I can tell you that both of these ladies were on duty and helped me from early in the morning. Lady Rayleigh has never told a lie.”
“Yeah, but… Why in such a remote place instead of the lounge or kitchen… ?”
“I just came out to get some air for a moment. Is that such a big problem?”
“…”
Benedict silences the breeder’s objection. She, who had maintained her strict and firm attitude until now, lowers her head.
Conversely, as if I had become a mute.
‘Junior, what are you doing now?! Thank you for protecting me, but…’
Rayleigh couldn’t understand the current situation. It just seemed like Benetrick lowered her head to show off her anger.
‘… Even though I heard you were promoted to a faculty member yesterday, how dare you talk back to the vice principal? If you get caught by old maid hysteria, life at the academy will be difficult in the future, right?’
‘Whew, I’m glad. I can’t move from the breeder’s words… It seems like the vice-principal also knows Mr. Breeder’s identity.’
On the other hand, Sophia, who knew the whole situation, breathed a sigh of relief.
The two ladies’ remarkably contrasting reactions.
“Well, I was mistaken. I just thought these guys here were trying to skip class using the principal as an excuse…”
Benetrick immediately raises the white flag.
She fidgets and bows her head.
As expected, she had a difficult time becoming a breeder.
Until I realized his true identity, I had treated him with contempt and looked down on him as a human being. He was feeling numb from the karma he had committed.
Even the dragon’s tail, covered with polymorph, is shaking.
‘Eh… ?! What, what? How could the vice principal give in so obediently? And he even used an honorific term towards Junior, who was just an employee… ?’
Rayleigh, who witnessed this scene, could not easily understand. In fact, doubts about the breeder’s identity only deepen.
“So now it’s confirmed that there’s no problem? Well then, let’s go back now, shall we? Vice principal?”
“Well, of course… ! We sincerely apologize if we disturbed you during your break! Well, then I’ll just… !”
With those words, Benetrick hurriedly takes a step back. The sound of shoes that had sounded majestic just a moment ago was now subdued.
“Ha, I survived thanks to Mr. Breeder. “I’m sick of being scolded by the principal vice.”
“…”
Sofia is sweeping her heart and Rayleigh is staring blankly at this situation.
The breeder opened his mouth after seeing Benetrick’s figure disappear into the distance.
“I’m glad nothing happened. But Sophia?”
“Yes, Mr. Breeder?”
“I think it would be better to move this place…”
“Okay, let’s go somewhere quieter!”
“… Well, I know a place like that!”
“Huh? Lady Rayleigh?”
“The scenery may not be great, but at this time it will be quiet because there is no one around!”
Just as I was about to put an end to the situation and move on, Rayleigh’s voice interrupted.
“Thank you for your opinion, but… Rayleigh, what’s wrong with you?”
It was just as Sophia said.
Where does the uncooperative look go?
He was the first to come forward and express his opinion.
“What’s going on? Just… “I’m grateful that you helped me just now.”
“Oh, is that so? It’s a big deal. So where is it?”
“It’s a bit difficult to explain in words… If you follow me, you’ll know.”
“Is that so? So, Mr. Breeder? “What should I do?”
“Well, okay. If it’s a quiet place… “Let’s move quickly.”
A breeder who immediately accepts the offer.
He was just unhappy with Rayleigh’s reaction.
He thought that Rayleigh’s favorability towards him had increased due to what had just happened.
*
We followed Rayleigh after that.
He heads to a place where no one can interfere.
But…
“What? Here is… ?”
“Raylee? The place you mentioned earlier… “Is this really the right place?”
“That’s right. And look! “It’s nice and free because no one is using it right now, right?”
The place where Rayleigh took us was none other than the outdoor sparring hall located on the outskirts of the academy.
Is it like a vast arena with openings on all sides like a runway? Old wooden training swords and armor were lying everywhere.
“But no matter what. Not suitable as a date spot─”
“Sophia? “I’m sorry, but can you hand over the date to me just for a moment?”
“… Yes? “What did you say just now?”
“I’m really sorry, but I… I became so curious about Junior’s identity that I couldn’t bear it anymore. The attitude of the vice principal showed earlier was also suspicious.”
“Re, Rayleigh? What is that now… !”
-Rattle!
With those words, Rayleigh picks up the wooden sword that was lying at his feet
ㅡCheoeok!
She points a wooden sword at me and moves her lips.
“Junior? Why don’t you just compete for 10 sums? Please.”
“Yes? What does that mean all of a sudden? Are you saying you want to spar with me?”
“Okay! Sparring! It won’t take long. How about something light?”
“But suddenly it’s a sparring match… ” … “I don’t understand at all?”
“Just this once! Can you do me a favor just once? If you do that, I won’t bother you again next time. How do you feel?”
“… ?”
What… ? This is how the Lightning clan goes on dates… ?
