The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 37. I don’t want to lose.

“What do you mean by friend?”

“Huh? That… Fair fight means it’s a normal sport, right?”

“…Sports?”

“I heard from the sports team hyungs. After a fair fight, we can become friends after a fight.”

Dale lowers his head as if he lacks confidence.

At the same time, from the way he turned his gaze toward himself, he could feel an emotion called anticipation, albeit just a little.

“Well, I was wondering if it could be interpreted as meaning to be friends…”

“……”

“…Uh, ahahahaha. As expected, is this a bit like that?”

Dale smiles vaguely and tries to correct himself.

Beanz also didn’t bother to affirm that statement.

Actually, the reason he challenged himself to the duel was something far from what Dale had mentioned.

‘A friend, I didn’t even think of that in the first place.’

Yes, she said the reason she came to this academy was to stand at the peak.

It was to prove his superiority by competing with excellent children and to develop a sense of responsibility to support his family.

Those who could be called friends there would be regarded as poison.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t get a chance to ask.”

But is that why?

The reason why this boy, who emphasizes the word ‘friend’ in his proposal, first became curious.

“Dale Enverton, why did you come to this academy?”

Before hearing the answer to her proposal, Beans asked Dale once again.

A question that even Dale couldn’t overlook.

“Why did I come to this academy?”

“Yes, why did you choose this academy?”

If you look at my school life so far, no one will be able to understand.

No matter how good your grades are, perceptions don’t change easily.

The arrogant nobles still refuse to acknowledge his existence, and there must be a reason for staying at the academy while enduring their persecution.

Perhaps that’s an important reason that’s incomparable to the reason he came to this academy.

“I want to make friends.”

However, the answer that followed was the exact opposite of what was expected.

“A friend…?”

“Uh, yes. That’s… I wanted to enjoy what the book says about youth.”

Embarrassed to even answer such a question, Dale began scratching his cheek.

He seemed to have the self-awareness that it was a strange thing to say to others.

“I want to make friends, go around and have fun… That’s why I came to this academy because I wanted to go to the biggest place if I went to school. It’s a bit strange, right?”

Why strange?

No, not at all. The reason is that everyone is different.

In fact, there are people who come to the academy not only to learn, but also to socialize, so it wouldn’t be strange to focus on human relationships themselves.

“You…”

Yes, the reason was understandable.

“Don’t you know what it means to be the head of the academy?”

Unless the opponent was placed in a position he did not occupy.

“Huh? What did you just say…”

“I asked for an answer to my proposal.”

Beanz unconsciously spits out such thoughts, but soon blurts out and changes the subject.

However, the young pulpit in his gaze was firmer than before.

“Will you accept to duel with me or will you refuse?”

It’s as if she’s trying to hide the emotions she’ll reveal without even realizing it.

At the words of Beans, who categorically offered only two choices, Dale answered right away after thinking about it for a while.

“Okay, I’ll accept it.”

“…Really?”

“Yes, that’s because I know you take it that seriously. I think it’s only natural that you respond to that feeling.”

Not even for the sake of oneself, but for the sake of those who approached oneself.

To the extent that the expression “Natural” Was attached to it, the other person did not feel any hesitation in reviving someone’s heart.

Yes, this kind of person is often called an ‘altruistic person’.

“Thank you for accepting the offer.”

The exact opposite of myself, who came to this academy just for my own purposes.

“Then I’ll excuse myself.”

“…Huh? Is the conversation over already?”

“We have to deal with the duel later. We’ll do it right after school, so please spare some time.”

You must have heard the acceptance.

Feeling that it would be difficult to talk further, Beans quickly organized the conversation and immediately left the place.

He left the boy who was still standing there blankly, and quickly moved out of his sight.

‘Friend…?’

But even in the midst of that, the boy’s words were still floating in the girl’s head.

‘Are you saying you came to this academy just for that?’

I understand with my head.

The severity of the reason varies from person to person.

But was there anything spleen about that boy’s attitude toward him?

Did the purpose have that much weight?

‘For just such a thing, I took the position I wanted…’

Fast deuk.

The moment the sound of teeth grinding resonated in my mouth.

However, it is said that when anger reaches its peak, coolness comes.

‘…No, calm down. It has nothing to do with the other person’s purpose.’

By the time her head finally cooled down, Beans grabbed my forehead and organized the immediate situation.

‘Yes, the scheduled duel has been accepted. Now all I have to do is prove it.’

I see with my own eyes the ability of the chief that I have always confirmed, and I personally see why he is in that position.

And if you think he really deserves it, let’s be prepared to calm the tumult in my heart.

But if the result comes out that he can’t be recognized…

‘…I don’t want to lose.’

The moment when the ill feelings that had been dormant for a month sprouted again.

‘Only for you who entered the battlefield of those who want to be the best without any responsibility…’

Her small shoulders began to sink heavily as she moved on with those feelings.

Called responsibility.

A lump of baggage that still has room to grow heavier than it is now.

***

Like that, like that…

I don’t know the details, but the chief and second jockeys said that as a result, they ended up having a fight at the gymnasium after school.

Perhaps Dale just said it without thinking and got on a nerve.

It’s not that the kid is stupid, but what can I say, because he has so little experience, he tends to do things he doesn’t know without realizing it.

“By the way, I’ve heard of it… Isn’t it too big to be a place for kids fights?”

As soon as I stepped into the duel, what I felt was how grand it was.

Even in terms of scale, it’s comparable to a large arena, and it’s equipped with all the safety equipment necessary for fighting each other.

But more than that, the most notable thing is probably the material that makes up the stadium’s ceiling.

“Whoa, who else came up with the idea of covering the entire ceiling with glass?”

The glass that forms the shape of a dome.

Normally, even the slightest impact would cause chaos inside because it couldn’t withstand its own weight, but at this academy, there’s no such thing to worry about.

Because the water veins of mana that exist underground activate the functions of materials that have undergone special methods.

In fact, that glass dome is actually the best protection, and it is no different from natural lighting that transmits light as it is.

So there shouldn’t be any problems getting around the inside, but what greeted me when I stepped inside was the crowd filling the stands.

-Woong-sung, woong-seong.

…What is this, there’s not much to do at this academy?

Why did so many people flock to the children’s fight?

“Sensei Seine, this way!”

As I walked around the crowded stands, I saw someone sitting in the front seat beckoning to me.

A man of the same age with impressive narrow eyes.

Now, he was a class teacher that I consider like a comfortable friend.

“Oh, Mr. Narrow-eyed, you came first!”

“… It’s not a narrow eye, it’s Lloyd, Seine-sensei.”

“Oh no, it’s been a while since I saw it, so I forgot.”

“Yes? We met a few hours ago. It’s been a while.”

“Yes? Wasn’t it just our one week?”

That’s strange.

I think I saw it in a week.

“… If you are tired, just rest in the health room.”

“Ah, can you do that? If it was a duel, you might get hurt, but you should have someone to treat you just in case.”

“You seem pretty excited about that, but… ….”

“It’s okay, so take this first~”

hahahaha, I gave him what I was holding in my hand with a smile.

A drink brought in chilled in an insulated bottle.

When I opened the lid, I could see a black liquid bubbling from the inside along with the cold air.

“What is this… Carbonated water?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I made it personally. Try it once and rate it.”

“Ah, yes. If that’s enough…….”

Mr. Lloyd said that and poured a drink into the cup I gave him.

After taking a sip, his eyes began to open slightly.

“Does it fit in your mouth?”

“Oh yes, it’s sweet and tangy… I was a bit surprised because it was my first time drinking something like this.”

Hey, I don’t know about carbonated water, but I’m sure I’ve tried cola for the first time.

During the war, it was distributed in the Imperial Army or as a fatigue reliever, and now I made it as a favorite food with a little addition of my personal recipe.

Well, even though it started with nourishing tonics there and here, now it’s treated as a snack, just like ice cream.

“By the way, did Ms. Lloyd bring anything?”

“Oh, I went down to the city for a while and bought some chicken. Lately, I’ve been frying delicious chicken at the pub I’m indebted to… Would you like to try it?”

“Oh, if you give it to me, I should eat it with gratitude.”

Come to think of it, I don’t know about the civilized aspect of this world, but in terms of culture, there are many things that have been brought up to a level similar to modern times.

You can see not only sports and art, but also food culture in modern times.

As I ate a lot of chicken in my previous life, what he brought was something I wanted to welcome as well.

“Hmm…”

A crispy feeling that fills your mouth.

Even so, the inside was moist, and the seasoning of the salt was just right, so I could feel it melting in my mouth.

However, no matter how well-made it is, is it a little lacking?

As I took a sip of cola to appease that regret, I felt that part was filled.

Yeah, it’s a feeling that I think it’s a waste to feel alone.

“…Do you like it?”

“Mr. Lloyd.”

In order to share that impression, I asked him who had chicken in his mouth as well.

“Have you ever had s*x?”

“Poo Sup!!”

“Oops, are you okay?”

“Gwa, it’s okay… …. Cool, heo-eok!”

“It’s because you eat too fast. I’m just glad there’s no one in the front row.”

“Sensei Seine! Please be careful with your words!”

Mr. Lloyd, who was worried about me, but immediately threatened me.

It was a reaction I couldn’t understand.

“Why are you so surprised? It’s not that I don’t know what s*x is.”

“No, I know, I know, but… …. No, that’s what you’re doing!”

“Oh, you have a lot of experience~ Contrary to what Mr. Lloyd looks like, you seem to have played quite a bit~”

“I don’t mean that… …. Seine-sensei, please, cover your words!”

“Ah well, everything is like that if it’s good. I gave the best compliment I could in my own way, so don’t be too embarrassed~”

Anyway, chicken and cola ramen s*x is right.

“No…… !!”

It’s been awhile since I’m just trying to raise my voice.

Soon he noticed the stares around him and started to hide his mouth with his hand, frightened.

Actually, we’re not the only ones here.

Right now, the seats around are full of students, and aren’t faculty members, including teachers, sparsely visible?

“Oops, Mr. Lloyd, please be careful. If we speak too loud, our plan might be exposed, right?”

“…… Do not turn obscenities into schemes of shady organizations.”

“Ah~ Looking at the reaction now, it seems like it would be better to be misunderstood that way, right?”

“Isn’t it better not to do it in the first place? Yes?”

After saying that, Mr. Lloyd grumbled and tried to dispose of the spilled contents in the front seat.

As I watched him, a hearty smile appeared on his lips.

Anyway, even if it’s suspicious, this man is the same person. Because he had an idea.
