I’m Just an Ordinary Clown at the Academy - I’m Just an Ordinary Clown at the Academy chapter 102

102 – Disciplinary Committee

“Aren’t you cold?”

“No, I actually feel good with it being pleasantly cool.”

Upon hearing Joden’s words, I hugged him a little tighter.

The cool warmth that was transmitted through my body felt good.

“That’s fortunate.”

“I want to ride even when I’m not punished.”

“If you just say the word, I can make it for you anytime.”

It didn’t feel like a conversation between a student going to the disciplinary committee and a student council president guiding them.

I was comfortably riding on the horse, while Dallun and his subordinates, with their arms tied, were walking on their own.

“Ugh.”

“Uhhhhh.”

It seemed that Dallun’s subordinates were having a hard time taking even a single step, as the places where they were hit by me hadn’t fully healed yet.

Ignoring them, I spoke to Joden.

Come to think of it, I haven’t had many conversations with Joden since coming to the academy.

“Is Duke Adelian and the Duchess doing well?”

“Well, my mother told me that my father asked her to bring a patron quickly.”

“hahahaha, I’ll visit them soon.”

Even though there were other students around us, Joden used polite language instead of informal language because our conversation couldn’t be heard by others.

‘Sound-blocking magic.’

Of course, it was only a magic that blocked sound, so people could see our faces and the movement of our mouths, and they could tell that we were having a conversation.

But because I was wearing a mask, no one noticed that I was opening my mouth.

Joden walked ahead, looking straight ahead with a cold expression.

“Congratulations on getting first place in the midterm practical exam, even though it’s late.”

“Oh, thank you. Joden, you got first place in both the written and practical exams, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The way you say that as if it’s obvious! It annoys me.”

“hahahahaha, really?”

Joden’s lips remained unmoving even as he spoke.

This was because I had used an illusion to make it appear as if I were closing my mouth while speaking.

In other words, to onlookers, it would seem like I was riding on a horse made of ice, and Joden was walking forward without saying a word.

“Do you have confidence?”

I didn’t bother asking what he meant.

Probably referring to the disciplinary committee.

“Yes! Of course, I have confidence.”

Dahun had reacted emotionally to the mockery from Sepia.

So, the initial plan had changed quite a bit, but it didn’t matter.

If the plan went awry, you just had to come up with a new one.

Of course, it might not be as perfect as the previous plan, but still, pushing Dahun to the edge of the cliff was possible.

“I don’t mind it because it’s convenient for me. Is it okay to discriminate like this?”

Both I and Dahun, along with his subordinates, were in a position to go to the disciplinary committee.

But now, it was obvious that we were moving while clearly being discriminated against.

“The report we received at the student council states that second-year students are collectively attacking first-year students.”

Although Joden spoke, “Whether it was the benefactor who did it or not is not yet certain, so it doesn’t matter.”

“It’s sophistry. Of course, I don’t mind because it’s convenient.”

While having various conversations with Joden and moving,

One of the student council members approached Joden.

“I, the Student Council President.”

Joden released the sound-blocking magic, and I, too, dispelled the illusion.

A student council member approached Joden, opened their mouth, and within a second, everything unfolded.

“Considering the current state of Dallun, it seems difficult to convene the disciplinary committee right away.”

Dallun, with a bewildered expression, was walking absent-mindedly.

His subordinate, walking beside him, trembled at the thought of speaking and sat down hesitantly, covering their buttocks with their hands.

“Well, in that state, it’s impossible for him to speak properly.”

“President, what should we do?”

“For now, contact the healer and have that guy healed enough to speak properly. The disciplinary committee will be held afterward.”

“Then, what about those students in the meantime?”

“Well, students who fought each other can’t be placed in the same space.”

“You can wait comfortably here.”

I looked at the place Joden pointed to and was momentarily speechless.

I knew Joden was on my side, but I never thought he would go this far.

“…Isn’t this just an empty classroom?”

The place Joden indicated was just an ordinary classroom.

There were no people, but there was a blackboard in front, and there were several desks and chairs.

However, they seemed unused now. There was not even a hint of warmth in the classroom.

“Of course, it’s several times better than that place earlier.”

The place where the subordinates of Daron had entered earlier made it feel like a prison.

Moreover, the place was narrow and dark for more than 10 of Daron’s subordinates to enter.

“This is currently an unused classroom. It’s perfect as a waiting place for guests.”

“Then, considering Lord Joden’s generosity, it would be appropriate to use this place.”

I entered the classroom and sat at the closest desk.

The desk made a creaking sound, indicating that it hadn’t been used for a while.

“Shall we have a leisurely conversation over a cup of tea?”

I said as I took out tea and teacups from the spatial storage, placing them on the desk.

There were still things I needed to say to Joden.

“I’d like that, but I have a lot of work to do. If you need anything…”

Joden looked at the items on the desk without finishing his sentence.

On the desk were not only teacups but also books, cookies, cakes, skewers, and even Trump cards.

“What? What did you say?”

“…….It’s nothing. Well then, I’ll take my leave.”

“Take care~”

With Joden gone and no one to talk to, I ate cookies and read a book.

‘A fantasy novel read in a fantasy world.’

The content of the book was a typical story of a boy from a village becoming a hero and defeating the demon king, a common novel even in Korea.

Professor Edra recommended it to me last time, saying that it had detailed explanations about magical formulas.

I didn’t originally plan to read it, but I thought maybe I could study with this, so I read it, but I couldn’t understand what it was talking about.

‘It feels like reading a novel that attacks enemies using calculus.’

I was reading, skipping the part where the explanation about magic comes in.

Suddenly, a question crossed my mind.

‘Is this book a fantasy novel or not?’

To me, living in the modern era without magic, this book is undoubtedly a fantasy novel. But what about those who have lived in a fantasy world from the beginning?

At that moment, contemplating philosophically while putting a cookie in my mouth.

– Crunch!

The sound of the classroom door opening abruptly echoed in my ears, breaking the silence that was filled only with the sound of flipping pages and munching cookies a moment ago.

‘Is it Joden?’

At first, I thought it was 95% likely to be Joden.

After all, Joden brought me here.

Then, who is the remaining 5%?

That would be Sepia, who quickly finished talking with Professor Elysia.

But the person entering the classroom didn’t have Joden’s black hair or Sepia’s pink hair.

It was now a familiar, yet still beautifully platinum blonde.

Platinum blonde symbolizes the Freya family in the academy, but there was only one member of the Freya family here.

“Senior Johanna?”

Whether she rushed in or came after swinging her sword until just a moment ago, Johanna was sweating, and a few strands of hair were sticking to her face.

Johanna, so disheveled, was a first.

Of course, it was beautiful to see her in such disarray.

But that wasn’t the important thing right now.

However, I couldn’t help but look at her.

“Isn’t it class time right now?”

Johanna didn’t respond to my words.

She approached me, her platinum hair fluttering in the wind.

Before I knew it, Johanna was right in front of me, reaching out her hand.

“……..Senior?”

Johanna grabbed my shoulders with both hands and started examining my body without saying a word.

“I feel like I’ve seen this scene somewhere before…..”

Where did I see it…..

Ah, I remember!

Shortly after entering the Academy. In the cafeteria, with Ropri or one of Ropri’s subordinates.

I don’t remember it well now, but I definitely had a brief confrontation with someone who examined my body like this.

“After this action, they said…….”

“Where does it hurt?”

“Where does it hurt? Right?”

My voice and Johanna’s voice overlapped, resonating through the classroom.

Normally, I would have played along and made more jokes here, but I couldn’t come up with any jokes for Johanna, who was lifting up my sleeves and checking for any injuries.

Johanna was now determined to undress me and check for any injuries.

“Except for the headache, there’s nothing wrong. I’m healthy yesterday, tomorrow, and today.”

It was said to reassure Yohanna, but it seems like I misspoke.

“… Headache? Why?”
