I Became the Must-Have Character of the Academy City - Chapter 59



58 – Monolith -6-

G-groin!?

Clara alternated between looking at the canteen in her hand and Rohan, who was sitting under the sun.

It’s been a while since my head spun.

Even though I knew I had to move quickly, my steps creaked like a broken machine.

“Oppa! Let’s go to the shade first…”

Clara, who had placed the canteen under the shadow, approached Rohan.

She grabbed her forehead as if feeling a headache and lifted Rohan, who was sitting down, by one arm over her shoulder.

It was a strength that didn’t match her slender body, but those with magic couldn’t be judged by their appearance.

“Oosha…”

With delicate hands, Clara lowered Rohan to the ground and leaned his back against the wall.

If the shade were a bit larger, she would have laid him down comfortably, but that would require Zion to secure the place.

“Clara…?”

“Yes! I’m here!”

Rohan opened his eyes slightly and called her name.

From noble mtl dot com

The girl was worried because Rohan seemed worse than before.

“How do you feel? Do you want some water?”

Rohan shook his head, saying he was fine.

Clara pouted her lips at Rohan’s attitude of always saying it wasn’t a big deal.

But this time was different.

Rohan couldn’t move due to the dizziness that wouldn’t go away.

They had no choice but to ask the group for understanding.

“Sorry. Let’s rest for a moment and then move.”

“Oppa… It’s absolutely nothing to be sorry about… It’s okay, just close your eyes and sleep.”

Rohan, who was biting his lip and contemplating the suggestion to sleep, lowered his eyelids.

“Can you wake me up in 10 minutes?”

“That’s too short. I’ll make it comfortable for you, so let’s sleep well and wake up refreshed, okay?”

There was neither affirmation nor denial from Rohan. No answer came back, only the sound of his breathing.

He had already fallen asleep after leaving the request to wake him up in 10 minutes.

“.”

Clara stared blankly at Rohan’s sleeping face and recalled what Sion had said.

She decided to follow the advice to loosen his clothes. She moved her hands to undo Rohan’s academy uniform.

‘This is an emergency measure…! It’s an emergency measure.’

In this situation where she was undressing Rohan’s clothes of her own accord.

Even as she chewed over the word ‘measure,’ the strange feeling in the girl’s head did not go away.

She took off the academy jacket and unbuttoned the sweat-soaked shirt.

The dungeon’s climate was such that even a girl who didn’t feel the heat had beads of sweat forming on her forehead, and Sion was also sweating profusely.

Rohan’s clothes were already soaked with sweat, so there seemed to be no need to wet them further.

‘Oppa’s scent is stronger than usual… This is nice…’

The smell of a person’s skin and sweat varies so much from individual to individual.

Clara did not feel even a fragment of discomfort from Rohan’s scent. Rather, she suppressed the urge to bury her nose in it.

After taking off his shoes, she gulped before proceeding to the next step.

With trembling hands, Clara carefully undid the belt without touching that area. She unzipped it and loosened all of Rohan’s clothes.

Now, fan him!

Clara, who had gathered the monster’s vine leaves scattered on the floor, gently sent a breeze towards Rohan.

She regretted not being able to smell the scent she had sensed earlier, but stopping her hands was not an option.

Oppa, are you asleep…?

She called out just in case, but he was sleeping soundly, oblivious to the world.

He was so deeply asleep that he wouldn’t notice if he were carried away.

It was the first time Rohan showed such defenselessness. The girl’s eyes wandered with curiosity.

A time of utter absorption.

As the girl’s gaze grew busier, the fanning became more vigorous, and Rohan’s expression relaxed a little.

I’ve secured the area.

!!!

A voice interrupted her concentration.

If Clara hadn’t instinctively covered her mouth, she would have screamed.

She had been so focused elsewhere that she hadn’t noticed Zion’s approach.

There were no issues inside. The temperature is definitely lower than outside. It’s perfect for resting.

Th-thank you for your hard work.

It’s nothing. How is Rohan?

Zion asked as he folded his truncheon and put it away.

Clara, looking at Rohan who was asleep leaning against the wall, shared the information that came to mind.

He fell asleep asking to be woken up in 10 minutes…

“Hmm, it seems too short to recover. It would be better to take measures and wait until he wakes up.”

Sion suggested moving inside and, along with Clara, carried Rohan.

They entered a dark room where the only light came from the sunlight outside.

“Ah…! It’s cool!”

The interior was definitely cooler.

Honestly, it reminded them of midsummer, but since it was so hot outside, even a room that easily exceeded 30 degrees felt cool.

“Let’s stop here.”

“Yes!”

They laid a jacket on the floor and carefully placed Rohan on it. They also brought his shoes and placed them beside him.

“Clara. We need to take more definite measures against heat illness.”

“…?”

Clara looked confused.

Sion quickly spread open Rohan’s shirt, which Clara had timidly loosened.

“Normally, heatstroke or sunstroke would be dangerous, but his body, trained with magic, will recover quickly.”

With that, Sion also removed Rohan’s pants.

“!?!?”

Clara’s eyes spun in bewilderment.

“I’ll do the fanning. Cool his body with the canteen.”

Sion finished speaking, stood up abruptly, and went outside to gather vine leaves.

“…”

Clara placed the cold water bottle on Rohan’s neck as she was told.

Rohan wasn’t actually suffering from heatstroke, but putting something cool on him while he was so hot would naturally make him feel good.

Seeing his expression soften, the girl felt relieved and began cooling down other parts of Rohan,

finally stopping with one last area remaining.

“Well, the fan should be enough now,”

Sion said, sitting down next to them and starting to fan Rohan’s body.

Clara, still holding the water bottle, shifted it inch by inch until it rested near Rohan’s lower body.

‘Aghhh…’

Black underwear peeked out. Solid color, skin-tight.

A simple design with no frills, but the color was the same as Claras own underwear, giving her a ticklish feeling.

She knew she should look away, but her gaze wouldn’t budge.

Whether it was from sweat or not, the shadows of *it* were so stark on Rohans underwear.

A thickness that seemed like it couldn’t be held with one hand. Honestly, the first time she saw it, she thought he had some dynamite hidden there.

‘Oh, oppa must be uncomfortable normally…’

Wouldn’t it be a hassle to live with something like that?

With these thoughts, Clara placed the water bottle on Rohan’s upper thigh.

The heat that indirectly transferred to her hand was extraordinary. The scent reaching her nose was also so intense that it could be called lewd.

How much effort had the two girls put in during that silence?

Rohan squirmed, his eyelids fluttering open in a daze.

“Ugh… what time is it?”

“Sleep. It hasn’t been 10 minutes yet. Have a sip of water.”

Regaining consciousness was something to celebrate. However, Sion sternly lied and made Rohan drink water.

Rohan, who had moistened his lips, mumbled in agreement and then closed his eyes again. Sion and Clara sighed in relief.

“It seems he’s okay now, so we can leave him be.”

“I’ll keep fanning him…”

“Let’s take turns. When Rohan gets better, we can ask him to do his share.”

Sion smiled faintly, easing the atmosphere.

Watching Clara fan Rohan, Sion stood up.

“Is it alright if I take off my outer garment for a moment? It’s too hot.”

“Oh, yes…”

Sion removed the thick outer garment filled with various equipment, releasing the heat.

Wearing only a sleeveless shirt underneath, he felt a bit more alive. As he twisted the garment, sweat dripped onto the floor.

Clara, who had been fanning with one hand, confirmed that Rohan was asleep and, with a flushed face, slightly flapped her skirt to cool down.

“This heat and humidity, it’s really a crazy place. If it weren’t for Rohan, I might have been the one to collapse.”

Sion drank from the canteen and handed it to Clara.

The girl paused her fanning for a moment and moistened her mouth.

“Clara.”

“Yes?”

“Rohan’s condition might not be just a simple heat illness.”

“Do you have any guesses about the illness…?”

Sion touched his slender jawline with an exceedingly serious expression.

Then, after glancing at the sleeping Rohan, he lowered his voice and informed Clara.

I think it might be a kind of price for using the skill.

Ah

Clara nodded as if she agreed with Sion’s speculation.

Because Rohan had clearly said that the skill required a price.

Orion Academy, Class 1-1.

Just after lunchtime had ended. Gilbert stared at Rohan’s empty seat.

Strange! Something is strange!!!

Definitely, there’s something.

Even Dick, who sat behind him, rarely agreed with Gilbert’s words.

It was supposed to be time for practical class, yet the main instructor had disappeared with a word to wait. And Rohan wasn’t answering his phone either.

Nose, do you know anything?

Well

In response to Noah’s question, Ichinose took out his smartphone and sent a text to Rohan, who wasn’t in the classroom, asking where he was.

Of course, there was no reply.

Just as baseless speculations were running rampant.

The front door opened, and long rabbit ears perked up as they appeared.

Our cute Class 1-1! Today, Instructor Joo-yeon has suddenly become busy with work, so we’ll be having a joint class with Instructor Carrot’s class!
