Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines - Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines chapter 63

63 – Conflict (4)

My agony didn’t end when I returned to the dormitory. She sent a letter asking Kite to have dinner, but she replied that she had no idea. Even though we are in the same space as Trey, we don’t say a word. She was also absent from her herbalism lecture yesterday.

“Senior.”

All I can hear is the sound of crunching charcoal.

“I want to ask you a question, but won’t you answer that?”

“Do it.”

No matter how you look at it, Trey-senpai looked hurt. It wasn’t because I did something wrong, but I couldn’t solve it.

“You said that Hovarn’s drive tends to be inherited.”

“Not necessarily, but most of the time.”

“Can color be inherited?”

It’s the same. It’s not always, but it’s been quiet because it has a very high correlation.

—It was yellow.

I was deep in thought. I’ve only seen my father hold Hovar once. At that time, it was definitely red. The only yellow horned driver I know of is Ivor Segulain, the butler of Nuzhaven. Hopefully that won’t be the case.

“Did you come after being evaluated?”

“Yes.”

“Are you eligible?”

“It was yellow.”

Senior Trey took a deep breath. He broke her charcoal and said, as if he had made up his mind.

“Because I have a weird personality.”

As if saying something really hard to say, he wrinkles his face and whispers as softly as a mosquito.

“I don’t want to do this, but I was so angry that you…… Understand.”

I sat down next to the bed where my senior was sitting. With a thump, the mattress was——turned off.

“We decided to eat snails, right?”

“I’ll buy it. But not now, later.”

I’ll do my best to calm myself until I go to Velaste, so please take a look.

“Senior, this is a secret, so don’t tell anyone.”

“I hate to hear that.”

“My father’s name is Ruben de Norden. At one time, he was a promising knight, and a talent that the Royal Knights tried to take with him. He was one of the best cadets graduating from Bellaste with three grades. But.”

“You don’t look like your father at all.”

“I’ve never heard of him being good with a bow. Of course, you handled it well, but your main weapons were spears, axes and swords. I have an ax and a bow, especially when it comes to archery, there are few people who can beat me in Pong. Except for one.”

I’m quiet.

“There is a person who cares for me more than his father, Mr. Bor, and he handles the bow well. I also write Hobarn.”

“I thought you were very nerdy. Since there were two strong drivers, it seems that the territory was not small.”

I shook my head. Nut Haven and Pong are as small as Heoden here.

“My father was red when he held the hobarn. Tried it today, I’m yellow. I have a lot on my mind.”

Senior Trey said she was silent, and then she asked if she could write a letter.

“What shall I say?”

“You just need to convey the facts.”

“My head hurts. She was born as an illegitimate child, grew up without knowing her mother’s face, and was barely recognized by her.”

Perhaps all of this, perhaps, was peace established on the one-sided sacrifice of Ruben de Norden.

“I can’t ask.”

If current assumptions are correct, then perhaps Ruben de Norden’s life was plundered not only by women but also by his colleagues.

“Color is not unconditionally inherited.”

“I guess so. I hope so. Anyway, I will keep this a secret for the rest of my life.”

Tray-senpai exhaled quietly.

“I have to go to Velaste.”

“A mask?”

—Tell me, Mom. Who the hell is my father, what kind of life did he lead to make me so miserable.

“Anything is better than here.”

“If I collapse from hemorrhoids, who will save me?”

“Hey, you really are!”

“Look, this is the copper rod that Kite and I broke together. They say it’s good for fighting.”

Tray senpai suddenly threw a book in my face. She said she didn’t want to talk and she wanted to pull off the blanket.

“If you see him wielding it vigorously, there will be another uproar. The whole Pong will be noisy asking who is really, my father.”

“Don’t be funny, I hate hypocritical kids like you the most.”

Tray-senpai got off the bed and glared at me scolding me.

“Isn’t it fun? It’s not like your world because you hang out with people who are worse than you, and you beat anyone and win every time. So, come in as support, listen to all the lectures on magic or combat, and embarrass the kids. That’s what the herbal medicine lecture you asked me to do, too. Trying to have fun while insulting the kids and taking care of your intellectual vanity. You and Ain Kamphunt, please play in the water that suits your level. You never know how I felt when Leah wore the jinyeom. I don’t know, so even now, you’re talking about this and tearing my heart into a thousand pieces!”

Do you know how miserable the efforts of a person without talent are?

“I know.”

“I don’t know. I don’t know, so I’m weighing while making such sentimental noises. I, no, we can’t even afford to weigh. I’m trying to light a fire in me that I can’t do or not, just by coming here to Heoden. Battle mage? It’s not all about working hard. What if you have passion and sincerity! If you don’t have talent, it’s magic that even decides your own career path. I know that I wanted to do something like an academic or a meditator. Everyone dreams of becoming a battle mage, and you can go to Velaste and wield Hobarn, but most people have that kind of freedom and luxury!!”

The senior cried. Her tears began to drip onto the floor. It was as if the beautiful stone statue was crying, and it was more beautiful than sad. The silver-haired witch, if there was such a fairy tale, Trey would have been the perfect fit.

“You don’t know what it feels like to say that in front of people who don’t even have a scale.”

“I know.”

“If you know, just go to Velaste! Don’t break your pride by saying that in front of me!! You and Liana, everyone has places to go, but why the hell are you making it hard for everyone here in Heoden?

“Tray.”

“Why! Do you think I would be afraid to call you that?”

“I know you wanted to choose me. This baby, you didn’t worry about money because of the Elonte family. I didn’t have money, so I came here to Heoden even after passing the Mentor Orgiola. That, too, was handed over to the lord’s daughter for a wholesale price, and entered the support department as a meritorious admission! I know she wanted me to do this, she didn’t know if her mother was a whore or what a b*tch she was really doing. Her father ignored me every time and no one knew who I was. No i don’t know Because the mother who will tell you that is already dead!!”

If this were a scene from a fairy tale, I would be a monster that eats silver-haired witches.

“But I’m just trying to settle down with my heart set here, but they say I’m the right person. If you do this, you can go to Velaste instead of Heoden and live a guaranteed life for the rest of your life. Ok let’s go Then what should I do now, what should I do with the relationship I made here, and the relationship between me and my father in Pong? When I pick up Hobarn and set it up, the story of who is my biological father will come out again, and the relationship that has been tied up until now will be torn apart. That I’m hypocritical? Well, you’re acting like a fool. He doesn’t even come to herbalism lectures, he gets mad at me, how far will I take him!”

—Damn it, Kite, dry me off. I think my tongue will become a knife now. Cry a little for me

“Damn, heh, go…” … Because of you, I only become more miserable. I was inferior to the application system that entered through merit admission. What do you do when you wear the name Elonte? A place like Heoden, where his magic talent is far less than his brother’s, and no one in the family is like this. I don’t even give it to the academy. Looking back, no one is proud of me…… No matter how hard I try, who knows? All of my relatives have a reputation as battle mages!”

“Are you crazy, where is your brother? Do you really think you’re a girl?”

Suddenly, I pointed it out, and Trey sat down on the floor. Instead of sitting on her knees, she spread her crotches and collapsed in a W shape, something snapped through her head.

“Isn’t it?”

“Of course not!”

Senior Trey insisted that her words were in vain. At times like this, I’m not the type to hesitate. I immediately threw him to the floor. His face turned red and he pushed me away, so I pressed his chest.

─Don’t play around.

“Hey, Trey Ellonte?”

“It’s not so, get away quickly. You bastard, where do you put your hands!”

“You’re so skinny, that’s on purpose. If not, what is this now?”

She screams and pulls me away, but even though my face is red, it is covered in tears and mucus. As I stared at her, she rolled herself up and screamed at me not to touch her.

“Or you can go to the bathroom with me.”

“Why me?”

“I thought it made no sense from the beginning. Bleeding like that because you have hemorrhoids.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, I will never go!”

“I read that even in the south, there are very few families that teach women’s clothing. It was not a widespread culture.”

“The Elonte family has always been like that. Don’t imagine nonsense alone, if you keep talking nonsense, I will reveal all your secrets.”

“Expose.”

As I took a step closer, Trey took a timid step backwards with his butt. As I approached his face against the wall before I knew it, I could smell the faint scent of violets. Sure with this I wasn’t confused about my s*xual identity.

“It doesn’t make sense. You’re so skinny, but only there are buds?”

It’s quiet. I’m trying to find something to justify myself.

“Explain. If you don’t tell me properly, I’ll report this to the principal right away. I’m serious.”

“You said no!”

Because I was in denial until the end, I reached out my hand to his chest. Get scared right away and cover your body.

“Do not touch my body, if you touch it without permission, I will tell the family!”

We both got so excited, we pulled back and apologized for the rudeness.

“I didn’t mean to threaten you.”

“Don’t speak ill of me.”

“If you don’t explain, I’ll keep talking nonsense. However.”

I said quietly, standing with my back in front of the door.

“Because you have circumstances too. Okay.”

I opened the door.

“If you don’t want to talk, don’t. I will continue to treat you as Trey.”

I promised I wouldn’t report it to the principal or tell anyone. I was so excited that it made me cry. Someone knocked on the door so I came out. He said, “I came here because I was noisy, so I had an argument with my roommate over a trivial matter.” I’m really sorry and bow my head.

“Hey.”

Senior Trey came out with her tears on her face. In case anyone saw it, I immediately closed the door.

“Why, senior?”

From noble mtl dot com

When I responded casually, Trey asked timidly, weaving her tears again.

“Are you really not going to say anything?”

“Yes.”

“Then can I hit you?”

To strike with a fist, even kicking, now that I can tell you, it’s a little bit of a walk. I was scared at night, so I couldn’t go into the woods alone, so I just laughed. She was guessing, but it was so absurd that it was funny.
