32 – My life won’t get any better just by telling lies like that.

The weekend has arrived after the comprehensive exam.

Winter is coming soon and the hands and feet are cold in the cold weather, but the students enjoyed their break with happy faces.

“All the hardships are over now!”

“I have to play all the time until I go up the grade!”

Students who had been studying for a whole year had fun imagining what to do in the future.

“You are young.”

“Youth.”

Fritz was being treated by a female teacher, sitting on the bed in her recovery room and looking out the window.

“So…… How did you die?”

From noble mtl dot com

The female teacher instilled her healing magic on Fritz, and she asked about yesterday’s work. It was the story of her Eugene that filled the Royal School.

“It was because my training was lacking.”

“I know that the teacher is more diligent than anyone else, but the training is lacking.”

“If it’s not a lack of training, it must be a lack of talent. In any case, my skills were lacking.”

“You’re not saying you’re sick, are you?”

Fritz nodded her head earnestly.

“Even so.”

It was a face that couldn’t find the slightest lie. He did not show any intention to float her Eugene.

Considering Fritz’s personality in the first place, there was no way she would tell her lies about this.

‘I didn’t know that and didn’t ask… ….’

When she was a new teacher, she was helped by Fritz’s kindness, and she was able to adapt to the school easily.

Her Fritz was a benefactor to her.

But yesterday, she heard the shocking news that Fritz had been defeated by her freshman year.

She was worried that her Fritz’s reputation would be undermined.

So when she asked about yesterday’s work, she wondered how Fritz would respond, so she brought up her words…….

‘If you talk like this, rumors will spread faster… ….’

The female teacher’s worries deepened.

“Teacher, you know that, right? It’s unprecedented in history for a student to beat a teacher in a first-year swordsmanship test…….”

“I know. So I was the first.”

“Some people might talk badly about it. I thought it would be better to put something like that on if I wasn’t feeling well…….”

“A sigh.”

Fritz shook her head resolutely.

“My life isn’t going to be any better if I tell you lies like that.”

“Still, we must stop it from getting worse… ….”

“I am not worried.”

“Why the hell… ….”

“Why?”

Fritz smiled softly.

“Because it won’t matter if others insult me and bring down my reputation.”

“…… May I ask why you think so?”

Fritz’s eyes blurred. She saw the past with his eyes past the present.

The sparring with Eugene was clearly visible.

‘Yesterday, with my own eyes, his talent… ….’

It was extremely difficult to cut. Beomjae’s eyes couldn’t even see the end.

‘I’m ashamed of course to have lost to him.’

However, if Eugene grew up as time passed and everyone could clearly see him, his current shyness would rather become a source of pride.

So, Fritz was able to answer like this.

“He will surely become a great swordsman. Even if I lose to him, the mere fact of mixing swords is sure to be a source of pride.”

“That student is only in first grade…… ?”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m sure deep in my heart……. In a few years, his name will grow like a mountain.”

“…… How can you be so sure?”

The female teacher stopped her healing and expressed her doubts.

Fritz gave her a small smile.

“I have never seen such talent in my life. It is probably a talent unprecedented in history.”

“That… ….”

“I would rather this rumor spread as far as possible.”

As Fritz wished, his words spread far and wide.

To the extent that everyone in the Royal School knows.

The one who felt it the most was, of course, Eugene.

As if the rumor spread and the reputation that had been buried in the ground was restored, the gaze he received as he walked down the street softened.

‘I think I was busy avoiding and ignoring it before.’

It was rather strange to see the gaze I received change like this in one day.

Forced to be a hermit, he had finished adjusting to a lonely life, but it felt like he was suddenly dragged out into the sun.

‘It feels like mackerel coming up on board and being cooked in the sunlight.’

I was on my way to the cafeteria after training in the morning, and someone kept smiling, saying hello, and talking to me. It was not an easy task.

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised.

As a human being, I couldn’t help but feel good when receiving favorable attention.

‘I should say thank you.’

I had to thank Tina for giving me the opportunity to improve my reputation.

I still don’t know the exact reason why she took her side of her self, but it helped her a lot.

‘Let’s say thank you when we meet.’

Yujin arrived at the restaurant and ate. He usually has a lot of training, so he brought 3 servings and ate them eagerly.

While doing so, he looked around and saw Tina and Celine eating at a table not far away.

‘They also came to eat.’

Eugene stuffed her leftover rice and walked over to them.

Tina biting into her sausage opened her eyes wide at the sight of her Eugene.

“Poetry, Xinglin.”

“Huh?”

“Due Baba. Two.”

“What does the noble lady bite and say her words… ….”

Silin looked at Tina with her cold eyes, then she turned and looked at Eugene.

“It’s Eugene. Why are you surprised?”

Tina replied, swallowing her sausage with a gulp.

“It’s been a while since I’ve come this far first.”

“That’s right.”

‘I’ll be busy eating, so I’ll just talk about business and go.’

Eugene looked at Tina and opened her mouth.

“Thank you for yesterday. Thanks for helping me a lot.”

Hearing her thanks, Tina was silent for a moment, then answered with a wave of her hand.

“No, I did it because I wanted to.”

“If I can repay you, I want to do it. Is there anything you need help with?”

Eugene said that out of courtesy.

Tina pondered for a moment before answering with a smile.

“You don’t have to do that. Just um…… Just remember!”

When she saw that pretty smile, she tried to raise the corners of her mouth as if the former owner’s habit had been left on her body.

Eugene bit her tongue and answered.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“Yes. That’s enough.”

She turned her body away from that, and then she looked at them again.

I still have questions.

“I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Why did you side with me?”

“Oh, well…… Well… ….”

Tina narrowed her brows.

“At first, I went because I was angry with her grandfather and swearing at you…” …. I was going to end it after seeing them apologize to you. No matter what I said, they didn’t mean to do that.”

The fault is in their subject matter.

‘I remember that too.’

The eyes of those who looked down on Eugene because of her petty pride were still visible.

“Seeing you like that, I couldn’t contain my anger… …. When she came to her senses, she was declaring.”

“That’s how it happened.”

“Yes!”

That’s how it happened!

Tina smiled.

“And maybe it’s better for me to express my gratitude? The guild should have compensated you, but you saved her grandfather’s granddaughter anyway, didn’t you?”

“… ….”

“Thank you, Eugene.”

Tina smiled softly. Then it seemed that there was light all around.

‘That’s why Eugene can’t come to his senses.’

In addition to her beautiful appearance, Tina has the brightest personality of her heroines.

It could be said that there was nothing better for men to get distracted and bewitched.

I need to be vigilant for my life.

“Tell me if you ever need help.”

“Yes, goodbye. Eugene.”

Eugene waved her hand and turned her body away.

“Wait.”

Then the chair was pushed back and Sylin stood up. She walked in front of her Eugene. She had a serious face.

“Eugene.”

“…… Why?”

She looked at the heavy face and her answer came slowly.

‘…… What did I do wrong?’

Or did her body’s former owner do something wrong?

Something like stealing my underwear when I can’t remember…….

Then she had better commit suicide. That’s not going to happen, though.

“You, follow me to the rooftop in a little while.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

“Eh?”

The male students who pretended not to be interested in eating looked this way.

You guys were all listening.

‘Rooftop?’

‘Could it be that?’

Heat welled up in the male students’ eyes. I could see what they were thinking even if I didn’t see it.

Silin let out a small sigh.

“It’s not what you guys think, so don’t misunderstand.”

“Huh?”

“What were we thinking?”

The male students made a fuss. Eugene looked at them for a moment with her cold, salty eyes, then she answered Silin.

“…… Okay. Can we go to the rooftop?”

“Yes.”

In the past, when the previous owner of her body asked to come up to the roof, she also came up without saying much.

‘Wait a minute, that was Tina, not Shilin.’

The previous owner of the body had never asked Silin to come to the rooftop. To her, she was only kicked out of the swordsmanship club training ground.

Eugene put her head on her head and sighed over her hopeless memory.

She should at least ask why I called you to the rooftop.

But the train had already left. Silin passed her Eugene and took her seat.

“Silrin, why is the rooftop all of a sudden…… ?”

Eugene’s ears widened at Tina’s words.

“There is such a thing.”

But she got smaller again.

“It’s not something you can tell anyone.”

Silin focused on her meal.

‘What is it?’

Looking at her back, Eugene was locked in her doubts.

The first thought that immediately came to mind was the secret elixir of the Luberta family, promised to Silian while joining the swordsmanship club.

Silian and Silin were brother and sister, so it was possible to ask them to deliver the elixir instead.

‘It’s most likely, but… …..’

I was not sure, so my head hurt.

Eugene stopped her thoughts and walked to the rooftop. When she gets to the roof, she will know everything.

When she reached the rooftop, her body trembled.

‘It’s really cold now. Uh.’

I want you to come quickly.

It was almost winter, and the cold wind seemed to burn my skin.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have worn more clothes.

He brushed her trembling shoulders and stomped his foot.

Kook.

I felt the sensation of being stepped on.

‘What is it?’

Did you step on a stone?

I looked down without thinking and saw a small white object.

It was a tooth.

‘The secret at that time was that guy… ….’

I was supposed to be blown away by the wind, but I managed to stay on the roof.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Should I clean it up?’

…… No.

Eugene left her teeth intact.

That was a monument symbolizing the bright future of the Royal School. Thanks to such trial and error, the school will be able to draw a more beautiful image…….

‘…… I’m going to die from the cold.’

I could have warmed up by circulating mana in my body, but I couldn’t do that as the mana to be used for training was a waste.

Kiik

Fortunately, the roof door was open. Silin, a silver-haired female student who goes well with the cold winter, walked in front of him.

“It’s cold, but I asked to see you on the roof. Sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. Rather, why did you call me?”

“That… ….”

Silin rummaged in her arms, and she held out something of hers wrapped in cloth.

“I’m going to give you this.”

She untied the knots in her cloth. Then, something that had been piled up in it appeared.

It was a spiritual platform with a yellow glow like a lantern.

“The lighthouse…… ?”

“I know that.”

“Are you going to give me a bed of lights?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

That precious thing?

The Lantern Altar was lower than the White Flower Dan, the highest secret command of the Ruberta family, but in terms of value, it was as good as the world’s most precious elixir.

It had a tremendous effect on increasing her magical power, and even though it was on Silin’s hand, its unique and elegant scent stung her nostrils. The salivary glands were about to explode in her mouth.

She said, ‘I heard she gives elixirs…’ … To give you something precious like this.’

He thought he would give him a commanding rank lower than that of the lighthouse. The lighthouse was too precious to receive as a condition for entering the swordsmanship club.

“Can I just give you this?”

“It doesn’t matter. I also eat it as an after-meal snack.”

“Go, snacks… ….”

Her mind almost ran away at that far-off word. However, the pure incense flowing from the altar caught her spirit.

“Thank you.”

I had to get it and see it.

I don’t know why they give away this precious thing!

“This is how you enter the swordsmanship club, right?”

“Of course not. I will definitely go in.”

If you didn’t keep your promise after eating such a precious decree, that would be a killer, not a thief.

“This is all I called. Can go.”

“Yes. Thank you, really.”

Eugene went out to the rooftop thinking of taking the elixir and meditating.

I may look a little silly, but what can I do?

Increasing mana, which is the most direct factor in becoming stronger, has always been a thrilling task.

Kung

“Haa… ….”

As the door to her rooftop closed, Shilin let out a sigh.

It was all because of that stupid brother.

She questioned Silian how she enticed Eugene to join her swordsmanship club. Eugene had no interest in such extravagant activities, and she had no way of joining the swordsmanship club.

She said, ‘I was convinced when I heard that she had agreed to give away the family’s arcane elixir…….’

The secret elixir of the Luberta family was a high-quality elixir whose efficacy was recognized in the world. If he gave it to me, even Eugene would have no choice but to come in.

‘…… It’s not even an era where it’s forbidden to give family secret elixirs to outsiders.’

There is nothing strange about it.

So, as soon as Silin found out the truth, she decided to hand over the decision she had.

The lanterns were not something that would be easily handed over to others, but there was no special way to do so because there were no lower-level spiritual altars in hand.

‘It’s better to give something good.’

She was tall like a daughter of a great duke.

When he noticed her thoughts, Silian tried to stop him, but there was no problem.

Cillian was infinitely weak against her.

The memory of lightly suppressing him with a short conversation is still vivid.

‘Isn’t it better to give away what you were supposed to give? Procrastinating with the promise of a low-level command is not at the level of our family.’

‘I’m not wrong about that, but isn’t a lighthouse a normal team? It’s not something that can be easily given.’

‘My family can afford that much. To be honest, it doesn’t even matter if one light bed disappears.’

‘That’s right, but… ….’

‘Keep that in mind. I’ll take care of it.’

She was the younger sister who took care of what her brother had done.

“It’s my darling… ….”

Silin let out a small sigh at her own predicament, and took her steps to leave her rooftop.

Koo-wook

‘Hmm?’

But I felt like I was being stepped on.

When I took her foot off, I saw some teeth.

‘Why are teeth here?’

Silin’s face was stained with embarrassment.
