77. Trials, Festivals, and Obsession (2)

I did some research on the girl Nadia talked to yesterday.

“Serge Laura.”

The daughter of Count Serge.

She majored in fine arts and was selected as one of the 10 most promising painters.

Her blonde hair and freckles look normal.

Even so, she is said to have excellent skills, and marriage talks often come in.

However, she herself does not seem to have any intention of getting married yet.

“Is that all you know?”

“Yeah, that’s true, but… Joe, shall we investigate a little more?”

I shook my head at the commoner male student’s answer.

“No, you don’t have to. You also have to prepare for the test. That much information is enough. Come on, take it.”

“Thank you.”

The commoner male student took the money bag I gave him.

I wondered if the weight of the money bag I handed over was considerable, and he even made a surprised expression.

In this way, the academy was able to use the common people to buy information.

‘Plains sell the information they see with their own eyes and hear with their ears. Aristocrats buy information about nobles who need to be kept in check or take advantage of their weaknesses.’

A relationship in which each other uses each other and fills their needs.

In order to attend the expensive academy, commoners had to earn scarce money in this way.

As well as sending money to my family in the countryside.

“By the way… Sergi Laura… “

I think I can have a good influence on Nadia if I do well.

How can we effectively mediate between two people?

To have the meaning of a friend or colleague who works in the same field.

And, to keep Nadia from drawing me.

“… We should meet and talk.”

Because I have to figure out what kind of person Laura is.

So I am Nadia’s friend candidate.

I hurried to meet Serge Laura.

However.

“Ah, Vertium Nadia. I haven’t been very happy lately.”

“… “

There were signs that her conversation with her would not be as easy as she thought.

***

A cafe inside the academy.

A cafe used by academy students, teachers, and graduate students.

I was sitting there talking to Nadia’s friend, Candidate Laura.

“Ah, Vertium Nadia. I haven’t been very happy lately.”

“… “

However.

I didn’t feel good from the start.

Laura poured out her words with a disgruntled look and irritation.

“At first, I was kind enough to look after you. A picture of a man? Yes, fresh and good Because it broke the mold and proved that people should not enter unconditionally just because it is a landscape painting. But, the pictures go on. No change. But the judges give him a prize! Uh?! They’re playing around with the value of their name!!”

Slurp-

Laura gulped down her coffee to cool her overheated head.

“Oh, hot!! Hey, why are you so hot?!”

“… “

I’m good at drawing, but.

The hair looks a little short.

Still, I thought it was fortunate that I could draw one picture well.

I put my hand on the desk and asked a question in a soft tone.

“Let’s wrap things up. Are you dissatisfied with Nadia’s paintings?”

“Of course there are complaints. I’m good at drawing, but I’m drawing pictures of strange men.”

“… I am not a strange man.”

“Strange in my eyes. And, you’re the one who ruined Nadia. Just talking about your face and Aesthetically, I agree. I don’t think it’s like that.”

“You’re talking a little bit.”

I messed up.

That’s a bit harsh.

No matter how you look at it, you’re stopping Nadia from starting a war.

I lightly poured the bitter coffee into my mouth.

“Mmm, that’s delicious. In that sense, I wanted to ask you, so I called you here.”

“What are you asking? I’m busy preparing for the exam, so tell me quickly.”

“Could Nadia help me to draw less?”

So that even a little bit of my obsession can pour into my painting.

Because Nadia is sincere about me and the painting more than anything else.

And if you’re in the same industry, Nadia will listen a little bit.

“It would be nice if you could help convince me.”

I decided to use Laura to relieve Nadia’s obsession.

Because it’s already hard to bring about change between Nadia and me.

I thought of improving the relationship through outside help.

But, is Laura thinking differently?

“… Why should I help Nadia? He always steals my prize at competitions? I hate him.”

He tried to turn down my offer, saying he hated Nadia.

But, I know a little about Laura, but she knows.

She never hates Nadia.

“Still, you like Nadia’s paintings.”

“… “

“So, the last time we met. That’s what you said.”

If there were no emotions, it would have just passed by.

However, when I listened to what had happened so far.

Even if Laura hates Nadia, she doesn’t seem to hate Nadia at least as much as she hates Nadia’s painting.

She seemed rather accepting and respectful.

‘What you said at that time was more like advice than criticism.’

Because a person’s thoughts and feelings are buried in his actions.

I asked again, maintaining a soft tone.

From noble mtl dot com

“If you like Nadia’s painting, could you help me?”

“Ugh, ugh… Noisy… “

Laura seems to be thinking for a while.

‘Is this an opportunity?’

Now.

Now, this moment.

Don’t give me time to think, appeal to my feelings, and get a definite answer!

“I worry about Nadia only drawing my pictures. If you think that talent rots drawing my face in the art room! Aren’t you all mad?”

“That’s right… “

“If it goes on like this, Nadia will only draw my face until she dies. Great painters leave great works in the world! Nadia will leave a lot of my face behind!”

Are you still going to come over?

Who likes Nadia’s paintings?

Although I thought it was a bit ugly.

I wouldn’t do anything to protect the world.

‘Shouldn’t I take a breath and live?’

After my passionate courtship, finally.

“… Ah Okay. I’ll help you as far as I can. Honestly, like you said, it’s a waste of his painting to rot. I don’t have a cheap personality, so I’m like that in person. Because I admit it as much as the picture.”

Laura gave a small nod of her head in confirmation.

From my point of view, it is at the level of ‘draws well’, but to Laura, who is in the same industry, Nadia’s painting seemed distinctly different.

Laura sighed and asked me.

“… So, what should I do? Because I have to prepare for the test. I can’t help much.”

“Oh, that’s simple.”

Because I already have a plan in mind.

I readily spread my thoughts to Laura.

“The results of this test are coming out. You just have to look at Nadia’s drawings and rate her.”

“… What, if it’s such a simple thing, you don’t need to ask me.”

“No, rather, I asked you because it was so simple.”

When I see you.

In this test, Nadia has a high probability of being second.

If you ask why.

‘First.’

Because I took a break from painting for too long while living in the hospital.

‘Second.’

Always stuffed my face in every test, because it’s not fresh.

‘Third.’

The rest of me was too obsessed.

Because the picture has become too complicated.

‘Even though I was obsessed with myself at first, I only expressed the surface properly.’

But.

The more I draw, the more I draw.

It went beyond the surface and penetrated to the inside.

The result was expressed as a taxidermy the other day.

‘If I hadn’t dug deeper. The picture would have been fine.’

And then, Nadia didn’t stop and continued to dig into the human being.

I tried to dig down to the floor.

As if you want to get everything for me.

Of course, the result is the birth of an esoteric painting that is difficult for people to understand.

To be honest, even I couldn’t understand it well.

‘… Villains who know me well might sympathize with me.’

I wonder if this painting will get a low score.

I heard a speculation close to that certainty.

Even I, who is unfamiliar with painting.

‘If my obsession with myself can be transferred even a little bit to a painting… ‘

I’m sure my breath will be at least a little bit better.

About this plan, I had a strong conviction that Nadia would let go of her obsession with me a little bit.

5 Days until exam.

There were only five days left until the festival.

***

On the day of the Dalian test day.

Yuri went up to the final battle.

She sat alone and had her head down.

‘Concentrate… Concentration… ‘

To focus.

And to avoid eye contact with other people.

‘Well, please don’t talk to me… ‘

No matter how many students I beat and reached the final round.

Her personality couldn’t be changed at once.

You never know about glass once.

I looked up and looked at the audience.

“Sah, people… too many… Oh, is there no Damian… ?”

There were many students who came to watch.

Yuri glanced over the entire audience once with her excellent eyesight.

However, the Damian she was looking for was not there.

“Damian must be busy too… Oh, the test isn’t over yet… All the spectators sitting there anyway… He must have come to see the prince… “

All tests are not over yet.

The reason why the audience is sitting like that is probably because of the crown prince.

‘It’s not me… I’m rooting for the crown prince… ‘

That’s natural.

After all, I don’t stand out that much, and I’m not very popular.

“So… Damian didn’t even come to see me… “

Yuri looked down at her floor without Damian and expressed her regret.

I thought that even if that many people cheered me on, it wouldn’t be good without Damian.

For Yuri, even if everyone in the world hates her, all she needed was Damian.

“I was in front of those people… If you defeat the crown prince… Damian will see me again… “

And.

If you go back to the family and even get the title of grand duke.

I can really help Damian.

“Ha, you can do it, Yuri… ! Me, i can… !”

Pair-!

Yuri stepped forward at her confidently slapping her own cheek.

But, at the same time she was staring at her.

“Oh no… i can’t… How can I beat the crown prince… ”

My heart shrank immediately.

A timid personality that was born and formed is unavoidable.

Even so, Yuri stepped forward to reach Damian. It was because she felt left behind and abandoned.

“Left, student Justia Yuri! Right, Fritz Le Lionel!”

“Yes.”

“N, yes… !”

“If you are ready, I will begin. If you both agree, give her a nod.”

Nodding- nodding-

The prince is moderate and confident.

Yuri was flustered and timid.

The professor, who agreed with the two, stood back and shouted.

“Last Dalian exam! As tradition of the swordsmanship department, the strongest person takes the top spot! Just like before, we just have to fight at the same time as the signal!”

Wow!

The audience shouting to support the crown prince.

Yuri shrank at the same time.

‘You, there are too many people… ‘

Yuri was slightly frightened, but of course the professor didn’t wait.

Anyway, this is a place to clearly prove the prince’s power in front of people.

‘No matter how much the grand duke’s daughter flew and crawled. The prince will never be able to win. The strong man wins. It’s a natural law.’

It’s the status and ability.

“Lionel-sama will win. No matter how grand dukes are, there is no way they can compete with the imperial family.”

“Tsk, let’s risk all our assets. It’s 1.2 Times. I can’t eat much.”

“It lasted well in one minute.”

Everyone in the seat had no doubt that Lionel would win.

“Is it a start soon? I was almost late because the exam was difficult.”

Even Damian arrived late.

However, when the sparring began, contrary to everyone’s expectations…

“… Won’t he be pushed back by the crown prince?”

“I think… It looks like he’s winning… “

“A, what bullsh*t is that! It can’t be! There’s no way the prince can lose! Stand, can you? I can’t lose!”

Rather, Yuri was pushing him against the prince.

Even if he gets hurt while accepting an attack, Yuri stands up and fights back.

The audience whispered as they watched the wound heal quickly.

“How can people be like that?”

“That’s not a human, it’s a monster.”

“… “

Even though Yuri beat the crown prince.

Criticism toward Yuri gradually poured in.

The ugliness of such audiences is rather.

‘As expected, other than Damian… not good… ‘

It was making Yuri’s obsession even stronger.

I want to depend on something.
