Surviving as an Academy Black Magician - Surviving as an Academy Black Magician chapter 35

Bella Trey asked with a puzzled look.

“What’s wrong?”

Charlotte exclaimed urgently. I could feel the sincerity in her trembling hands.

“You can’t put them both in the same room!”

There was curiosity in her eyes.

“Why? Tell me why.”

Charlotte hesitated and dragged on.

“That, so Frey… … .”

“What about Frey?”

“Hey, hey… .”

At that moment, Frey hurriedly covered her mouth. Seeing that, Bella Trey asked in a cold tone.

“What are you doing, Frey?”

said Frey, removing her hand from Charlotte’s mouth.

“It meant that it was not possible. Originally, I was not good at sharing a room with others, so I think Charlotte tried to pass it on instead. Right, Charlotte?”

Seeing Frey’s earnest gaze, Charlotte reluctantly nodded.

“… … that’s right. Frey has had a peculiar sleeping habit since childhood, so it was difficult to share a room with others.”

Bella Trey still looked at them suspiciously, but then sighed.

“Even if it is, it cannot be reversed beyond what has already been decided. Even if it’s a little uncomfortable, please bear with it for a while. Seil Sieghart!”

“yes!”

“Did you just hear about it? Don’t make a fuss and take care of yourself. Got it?”

“Ah, I see… .”

Bella Trey pointed us to our designated rooms. Me and Frey’s room was on the topmost third floor.

“Now, disband!”

Everyone went to their respective rooms. Charlotte stayed until the end and noticed, but couldn’t overcome Bella Trey’s pressure and eventually went back to her room.

Me and Frey looked at each other, then moved on without saying a word.

Sigh. Sigh.

Every time I climbed the stairs, the old wooden planks screamed.

“… … .”

“… … .”

suffocating awkwardness.

Arriving on the third floor, a large room appeared.

“… Shall we go in now?”

“… That, it is.”

I opened the door and entered.

The room was much larger and more comfortable than expected. However, it seemed that the cleaning was finished.

I don’t know what Frey, who came from a noble family, would think, but for me, who had only stayed at an inn, this was enough to get me to sleep.

‘Compared to the army, this much is heaven.’

It reminded me of the memory of sleeping in a tent during the cold season.

It was so cold that even after popping 10 hot packs, the floor was like ice.

The memory of wanting to blow off the jawline of the senior who woke me up to sleep to live, and when I barely fell asleep, I had to go to work.

How much does that sensation feel when wearing frozen combat boots? … .

‘… It’s like X.’

I just got in the mood.

Still, I thought that the inside wasn’t bad compared to the haunted house-like exterior.

However, the important thing now was not the facility.

The fact that I have to live with Frey in this room from now on.

From Bella Trey’s point of view, who has no way of knowing that Frey is a woman, this was probably the best option.

But why is it Frey who drew the lottery? There’s Charlotte, there’s Arya, there’s Sylph… … .

for a moment.

So what if it was Sylph and not Frey who drew the lottery? Doesn’t it matter because you’re neutral, neither male nor female? No, did the school know that Sylph was neutral in the first place?

By the time all sorts of random thoughts run through your head and eat away at your mind. Frey spoke cautiously.

“I… . Jayle… . What about the bed?”

bed.

That’s right, we need to decide on a bed.

I was in the same room as her, but I couldn’t believe it.

With her from now on… Doesn’t that mean we have to live together?

“Frey. Are you really okay? If you’re having a hard time, I’ll ask the headmaster separately. I don’t care if it’s not a room. I’m a good sleeper, so it’s okay to live in the living room.”

“Gile doesn’t have to suffer because of me. I’d rather tell the supervisor that I’d rather sleep in the living room.”

“Oh, it’s really fine! I am.”

“no. I am!”

We shouted that we would sleep in the living room for about 5 minutes, but at the same time we sighed and stopped the meaningless argument.

“… … What do we mean by what we said? Anyway, due to your personality, you probably won’t listen to such a request.”

“but… . I guess so.”

As long as she doesn’t reveal that she’s a woman,

Bella Trey will never give up on her stubbornness. Charlotte must have known that too, which is why she shouted so earnestly.

In the first place, Charlotte’s head would not be able to understand or comprehend that an aristocratic woman who had never been married would live in the same room as a grown man.

“Frey. Are you sure you’re okay? Still, it must be more inconvenient for a man and a woman to share the same room… .”

“I can’t help it. There is no good alternative… . Above all, if you share the same room as Zeil… I am okay… .”

Slightly perplexed, I asked.

“I am happy to say that, but why do you think so? It’s a bit embarrassing to say this with my own mouth, but I’m a hot-blooded guy too… .”

Frey raised an eyebrow gently.

“Are we friends? Aren’t friends supposed to trust each other?”

In fact, if she revealed that she was a woman, everything would be resolved, but I didn’t say anything because I knew that the reason I kept my mouth shut even in this situation was due to personal circumstances related to her family.

I had neither the authority nor the ability to force her choice. All I could do was respect her choice.

“… That’s right. Water already spilled. Now that it’s like this, let’s get along well until we move rooms. Frey.”

“i look forward to. Zile.”

“ah… … . But will Charlotte be okay? I’m probably most worried about… .”

“Tomorrow I will speak well.”

worry ahead. From the entrance exam until now, I have felt one thing while watching Charlotte for quite some time. It was that she liked Frey more than anyone else.

It’s not about love or anything. As a friend, I could feel that I really cared for him.

You can tell just by looking at how Charlotte treats Frey. Wasn’t that bad-tempered b*tch obedient without swearing at Frey even once?

I have no choice but to burn my stomach because I am living with a suspicious guy who is wondering if the friend I cherish so much is a descendant of a legendary family.

“Then why don’t we set the rules for living in the same room? As we have lived in different environments, it would be nice to have rules for cohabitation.”

The flushed Frey murmured softly.

“Living together… … .”

“Frey… ?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Did you hear me?”

“Oh yes! Let’s set the necessary rules for future cohabitation… … .”

Looking at Frey’s face, which was stained red as if it were going to explode at any moment, I also started to pay attention to the word ‘living together’.

After clearing his throat to clear his mind, he said.

“Hmm. Then first… .”

While worrying about what would be the most inconvenient, I hurriedly began to look around the room.

Taken aback by the sudden action, she asked.

“Zile… ? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

I sighed in relief after looking around my head for a long time without answering.

“Whoa. Fortunately, the.”

She looks at me blankly with a face that doesn’t know why.

“I checked to see if there was a bathroom in the room.”

“The bathroom… ?”

“yes. Washing is also a problem if there is no toilet. Wouldn’t Frey be in trouble more than anyone else if he used a unis*x public bath?”

Frey looked at me with an admiring face as if he finally understood.

“I hadn’t even thought of that! You think of me that way… . I am so lucky to have met Geil!”

I laughed awkwardly and started to mention the rules that will be needed in my life from now on.

first. Set a time to wash each other.

second. Always knock when entering a room.

third. Do not touch the other person’s bed or belongings.

fourth. If there are any inconveniences in life, talk about them honestly without hiding them.

“That’s roughly what comes to mind right now. Do you need anything more?”

“I think that should be enough. If there is something that comes to mind while living, then again… .”

growl

Embarrassed, Frey blushed and covered her stomach with both hands.

“D-don’t listen.”

At that age, a girl’s cute reaction made me laugh without even realizing it.

“Poop.”

“Why, why are you laughing!”

“Oh, sorry. I don’t know.”

Frey roared and shouted.

“Now, it’s a natural physiological phenomenon! Don’t laugh!”

“hahahaha, I see.”

At this time, she was an innocent girl.

After chatting like that, we finally decided which bed to use.

One was by the window, the other by the bathroom. I said that it doesn’t matter which one you use, so pick one you’re comfortable with, but I insisted on saying that Frey wasn’t fair.

In the end, I decided to play rock-paper-scissors, the fairest game in the world.

The winner was me.

I won, so I decided on a bed by the window with a nice view.

It was a hard day. Standing in front of the bed, I started unbuttoning my shirt to change.

Slowly drowsiness poured in. Just then, I heard Frey’s voice from behind.

“… You should never look this way.”

After a while.

Took.

I heard the sound of clothes shaking on the floor.

“Never look back.”

“… yes.”

I looked back for no reason and had no intention of destroying the trust I had built so far, so I quickly recovered and threw myself into bed.

“It’s okay to look at it now.”

Looking across, I saw Frey sitting on the bed, tying up her long hair and looking at me.

Although she was wearing plain pajamas, she felt unfamiliar, perhaps because of her completely different impression.

“It suits you well too.”

“… Is that so?”

Frey gave a small answer and stuck out his head while hiding under the blanket.

“… thank you.”

In one corner lay the necklace and bandages she always wore, neatly arranged.

It was probably a compression bandage used to disguise as a man. Even though there is an artifact that hinders recognition, it must be used in preparation for an unknown variable.

It made me sad to think of living wearing something like that every day.

“Zile, you worked hard today.”

“And Frey too.”

“A lot of things have happened since the entrance exam until now… . Looking back, I think I was able to grow even more thanks to those experiences.”

“Because Frey worked so hard.”

“Is that so… . Am I doing well now… … . sometimes… . Whenever I think of that… .”

Frey’s voice gradually faded.

“I’m really afraid… … . I feel bad… … ”

“… … .”

When I didn’t hear anything, I tried to call her out.

“… … Frey? sleep?”

All I could hear was regular breathing.

I turned my head and looked to the side to see her soundly asleep.

Seeing her sleeping soundly like a child, it seemed that the bed was not uncomfortable.

I felt my eyelids grow heavy, and my consciousness gradually sank below the surface.

* * *

[■Ilji■Hart. I know who you are. If I am ■Gunji ■Go ■D in the gymnasium ■D.]

I jumped up and took a deep breath and looked around. On the other side, Frey was sleeping with a comfortable face.

“ha… . ha… . Is it a dream… ?”

From noble mtl dot com

Judging by the moonlight shining through the cracks in the window, it seemed that it was still dawn.

My back was wet from how much cold sweat I had shed during my short sleep.

I must have heard a voice in my dream.

I couldn’t remember exactly what he said because of his muffled pronunciation, but the word ‘yeonmoojang’ was vivid. I felt quite uncomfortable passing it off as just a dream.

I put on the clothes I had left by the bed and opened the window. The moment I was about to jump out of the window, I used the magic to block the noise just in case.

Landing softly on the floor, I looked around and summoned Roman.

“Did you call, Master?”

“Be wary of your surroundings from now on. Don’t show signs. If anything goes wrong, report it to me right away.”

“All right.”

Roman’s new model disappeared. For him who was raised as a killer, hiding his presence was as natural as breathing.

Killing as much as possible, I ran toward the gymnasium. The surrounding scenery quickly changed and we arrived at the gymnasium in an instant.

“… … .”

The gymnasium was empty. At least in my eyes it was.

Without lowering my guard, I looked around. However, there was not even a shadow to be seen, let alone a person.

At least, the one with the most human-like shape was a small doll in the corner of the gymnasium.

‘What kind of doll?’

It was a crude design, as if a child had sewn it, but there was a cute corner to it.

‘It’s two-headed. It also has wings. What have you made, angel? devil?’

To be called an angel, her wings were black.

My interest quickly cooled, so I hid myself in the darkness and continued to be wary of my surroundings.

Roughly 10 minutes passed. In the meantime, I kept hiding my presence and watched the area around the gymnasium, but no one showed up. Seeing that there was no report from Roman, it seemed that I was reacting sensitively.

‘It must be a dog dream.’

The moment I gave up and was about to turn around, I felt someone from behind.

My body reacted before my head even made a decision. As if releasing a taut bowstring, he turned his back and stretched out his hand.

But the moment I saw the owner of the voice.

“Oh, are you trying to kill me too? Descendant of a great hero.”

I had no choice but to stop.

“Aria… ?”

Eyes glowing red in the dark were staring at me.
