The Only Male Student in the Academy

030. Thinking about helplessness (3)

“What is it, Claire? Why are you suddenly attacking?”

Having said that, the first thing I noticed was the bag.

Alchemist is a job that fights with items, not skills. So, the item holding situation was important.

The problem is that I have already consumed a lot of items while hunting the elder kobold.

Also, since I’m on my way back from taking classes at the academy, it wasn’t combat gear in the first place.

Of course, the number of items is less than ever.

There is no reason to bring a chainsaw to class.

… Not a very good situation.

“Sorry sorry, I made a mistake. Actually, I was practicing shooting

Bullet nearby.”

Claire lied with a bright smile.

“But I almost got hit by chance?”

“Yeah, that’s right!”

“That’s not even funny.”

“I see. Did I lie too unfunny?”

Claire giggles.

That expression looks very happy.

He looks like he’s swollen with anticipation.

And Claire laughs softly.

“.”

Claire wasn’t even ready. I was just standing there normally.

However, stones suddenly fly in from under Claire’s feet.

But somehow he was able to react. I didn’t know that he would attack first and foremost, but it was thanks to the thought that Claire would do something.

He draws out his sword and deflects the .

“Ohh~, the reaction speed is good~.”

“Why did you attack?”

“Hmm~. Sparring? Because I suddenly feel like sparring? I thought that all adventurers would respond to this extent!”

“If you do something wrong, you might be punished.”

“It’s a joke, it’s a joke~. You’re not going to be punished for such a prank? Actually, Ariel didn’t get hurt anywhere~?”

“It’s a joke.”

Truly the perpetrator’s logic.

It is a logic to satisfy one’s feelings without caring about others getting hurt.

Then he said it was a joke, he didn’t mean it, he didn’t mean anything bad.

This is truly a typical Iljin.

“Since when have you been chasing me?”

I asked.

The timing is too good. To suddenly attack when no one is around.

Unless you were following me, it is inexplicable.

“From this morning all day.”

Claire gave a short answer and swung his sword.

Numerous

Magic circles appear in the traces Claire draws with her sword.

“You mean you skipped class and followed me?”

“Yes! Ariel, were you in the main square? What were you doing with Miss Ruhelif?”

“You don’t know.”

“It’s too much! We’re friends!”

At the same time, Rained down.

Runs while kicking his tongue.

Somehow, I avoided all of the .

I found out there.

That Claire is looking after me.

“You seem close to Miss Ruhelif? Are you dating by any chance? Come to think of it, did you say that you like someone like Miss Ruhelif?”

“It doesn’t matter who I’m close to.”

“It doesn’t matter. Ariel is my friend.”

When Claire snaps his fingers, walls rise from everywhere.

Claire’s main skill, .

My thoughts of running away were crushed at that moment.

As I clicked my tongue, Claire spoke in a hoarse voice.

“So this is jealousy? Maybe. I don’t want Ariel to be someone else’s.”

Claire fires the Again.

I went behind the wall and somehow avoided the stone shells.

And immediately draws out the sword.

There’s no way there could be a wall in such a lousy place. Clearly, Claire deliberately led me to this place.

As I thought so, I heard a voice from above.

“Hello?”

Claire jumped down from the top of the wall, and he slammed his sword at me.

Block the slash with the sword somehow and increase the distance.

Claire is smiling.

“I wouldn’t have reacted if I hadn’t talked to you.”

“I told you to react.”

Claire swings her sword.

I, too, somehow counter the attack with a sword.

It’s being pushed.

Claire is a character with no special weaknesses in interpersonal battles.

He has excellent defense, quick mobility, finesse, and good dealing ability.

In terms of stats, Claire is far superior to Ariel, and her skill with a sword is also top-notch.

Even I am in a situation where I am not properly equipped with items.

A battle you will never win.

Nevertheless, there was only one reason why the fight was taking place.

Because Claire isn’t serious.

‘What is this guy thinking?’

I thought as I desperately received Claire’s sword.

There must be a reason why Claire suddenly attacked me. There’s no way this guy who’s clever enough could have attacked without thinking.

If he wanted to take me down, he would have taken me down long ago, but Claire was deliberately not using his full power.

That means…….

‘Are you trying to pass the time?’

I don’t know why he’s trying to drag his time. I know there was no such development in the original.

But if time is on Claire’s side, this fight can’t continue.

“After.”

At the same time as I swung the sword with my right hand, I moved my left hand quickly.

There is a bomb in his hand.

I threw a bomb at Claire’s head.

“Oh?”

Claire momentarily moved his head to the side to avoid it. It reacted

But I figured out what I was throwing a beat late.

The moment Claire dodged the bomb, it exploded right away.

– Bang!

Momentarily, smoke rises along with intense flames.

Caught in the bomb, Claire’s body is greatly pushed away, and the That Claire had erected is slightly cracked.

But Claire’s skin was clear.

There is not even a single wound.

“Hey, you know how to make bombs? You’ve gotten really strong while I couldn’t see you~?”

– Knock knock.

Shards of stone fall from Claire’s face.

.

Claire’s last defense system and ‘Auto Barrier’ skill.

It is a defensive magic that is activated automatically the moment an attack is received.

“Hey, Ariel. Is it worth living as an assa?”

Claire is stroking her own face, as if the cheek that had been hit directly by the bomb was itchy.

I don’t see any intention of continuing the offensive again soon.

But the conviction that he will commit something remains.

You must be vigilant.

“It must be difficult even for a toothless tiger. It has to be weaved all the time.”

“It has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry.”

“I don’t like it? I can raise a tiger like a cat, so why should I step out?”

Claire comes over and puts her hand on my cheek.

A gaze as if looking at a toy. And gestures like pet handling.

The face of one who does not see others as human.

“Listen carefully, Ariel. It won’t be a bad story for Ariel either. If you get close to me, a Marquis of Antirus, you might not be kicked out of the family.”

“…….”

“It’s a really simple story. Come when I call, play with me when I’m bored, and fill my hand when it’s empty. Isn’t it okay?”

There’s no way it’ll be okay.

Hedonistic Claire.

The ‘toys’ in her hands are ruined in the end.

Gnaw until she has satisfied her own pleasure, then throw it away when it is no longer useful.

I know that kind of guy.

“What if you don’t like it?”

“If you don’t like it, you should do it this way.”

Claire pushed me away.

She immediately took a defensive stance, wondering if she was going to go on the offensive again, but it was rather counterproductive.

Claire backs away from me too, and he puts his hand to his chest.

Began to undress her.

“Hey, you…!”

That surprised me too.

Unknowingly, Claire took off her top and put on her underwear.

Even though you are showing off your pure white skin,

The smile never left Claire’s face.

“The time has come.”

She said as Claire muttered.

At that time.

I heard footsteps behind me.

“Claire-sama, why did you suddenly call me to a place like this… Uh… Claire-sama, what the hell is this…?”

If you look back, there are female students.

Female students who appear to be Claire’s followers.

How will I look in their eyes?

Claire half-naked.

And standing in front of him is the only male student who said he came as an exchange student after an accident.

He even holds a knife.

To describe this situation in three words.

‘… f*cked.’

From the beginning, I decided to fight like this.

Claire knows. What kind of position I am at the academy, and that if I get caught up in even one gossip about dishonorable morals, I will be kicked out.

Even the fact that just throwing off your top in front of me was a fatal wound.

‘Such trick….’

I never thought I would do this.

I didn’t fully understand that Claire had become a woman differently from the original story.

This is the result of not properly understanding that the target of bullying was not Lucius, who was of the same s*x, but Ariel, who was of the opposite s*x.

No, did understanding really change the situation?

No matter how hard he was, how could he expect him to drive him into a corner while revealing his skin?

‘It’s like a crazy b*tch….’

Truly, it is madness.

“Princess Beherit! What the hell did you do…?!”

“You finally revealed your true nature!”

“Don’t get too close to Claire!”

The female students block me as if they were protecting Claire.

Eyes full of hate sting me.

[What do you want to do, Ariel?]

The voice is ringing.

I can hear Claire’s voice, as if speaking directly to my head.

[If we go on like this, Ariel. Will you be expelled?]

Claire continues. Standing behind his followers, smiling triumphantly.

It is a skill called .

This is a skill that sends words remotely, and is a magic that only some characters possess.

It was probably thanks to that skill that I was able to summon followers to this place.

[By the way, there is one solution.]

The devil’s whispers are approaching.

[The method is very simple. All I have to do is say one word. So, can you help Ariel?]

“…….”

[Ariel, can you help me?]

Claire stretched out his arm as if to extend his hand.

As if asking him to hold his hand.

What is the price of holding that hand…… Not to mention.

─It’s a really simple story. He comes when I call, plays with me when I’m bored, and fills my hand when it’s empty. Aren’t you okay?

Claire is now asking me to be a toy.

If I hold that hand, what will happen to me in the future?

That is uncharted territory.

In the original novel, Claire wasn’t even a female character.

I can’t predict how he will pamper me as a member of the opposite s*x.

What is certain is that it will definitely be a hellish life.

After giving Claire pleasure every day, in the end, it will be a life that will be thoroughly ruined and fall.

Even so, the thing he hesitates for a moment is that if he holds Claire’s hand, at least this one hurdle can be overcome.

“He’s laying down. Do you think he’ll lie down?”

I say.

Then Claire widened her eyes in surprise,

Followers widen their eyes.

“Princess Beherit! What are you saying…!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong. Do you think I’ll ask for forgiveness when I haven’t done anything wrong?”

“Hey, that’s interesting.”

Claire pushes her followers away.

Her upper body is still in her underwear.

“As expected, Ariel is cool. Yes. She’s attractive when she doesn’t bend easily.”

“…….”

“Now, what shall we do?”

Claire looks at me giggling.

It is an attitude as if he is in control of my life and death.

But I also didn’t say it without thinking.

I turn my gaze to the clothes Claire threw off earlier.

It still has epaulettes on it.

‘Should I scream?’

According to the original plan, it was intended to be touched after clearing the dungeon with underground water.

Touching ‘that’ without clearing the dungeon with underground water is truly dangerous.

But unlike the last time Claire broke into my room, there were already witnesses around.

Alex’s help is also not a situation that can be hoped for.

Last resort.

There is only one breakthrough to solve this situation.

I,

“Now, wait a minute…!!”

The moment I opened my mouth, a voice interrupted.

When I looked there, Marie was running.

“Eh, Ariel didn’t do anything…!! K-Miss Claire Entylus… Um, because she took off her clothes on her own…!!”

Marie stood in front of me and desperately shouted that.
