EP.154 Coincidence, maybe inevitability (2)
Grumble.
The sound of a chair being pulled is heard softly.
Chloe picked up her chair and took a few steps back. This was because he felt the need to distance himself from the guest in front of him.
‘A very suspicious person.’
Chloe’s normally round eyes became very sharp. She regarded the customer in front of her as an impostor, but it seemed like she wasn’t entirely wrong.
‘Don’t they suddenly come to you and point out that you look like someone? They pretend to know you as soon as they hear your name…’
Chloe rarely doubts people, but this is too much. There is more than one suspicious thing. That’s why I’m on guard…
‘…He doesn’t look like a fraudster.’
Because of its appearance, it doesn’t feel that way at all.
“Uhm…”
Chloe pursed her lips and glanced at the woman sitting across from her.
He was a beautiful person. Very much.
Although he doesn’t feel elegant in his behavior… the atmosphere he wears itself is noble. I feel a sense of dignity that I don’t know why. It made me wonder if the noble ladies from the romance novels I liked to read were exactly like that.
‘The main character of the ball, a noble lady…’
A person who attracts attention just by being in the same place.
A person who seems to be a leading character wherever he goes.
Blue eyes are like a calm lake.
The neatly braided gray hair looks as soft as silk. Every time the wind blows and my hair blows, I feel like it smells good.
‘Scammer, swindler…’
It was around this time that Chloe was looking at the woman as if she was possessed by something. Catching Chloe’s gaze, she tilted her head and opened her mouth.
“···Why are you looking at me like that?”
Huh, Chloe opens her eyes wide.
Chloe suddenly leaned her upper body back, which had been leaning forward. She was almost possessed, even if only for a moment. Chloe cleared her throat loudly and briefly.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
As expected, he is a fraudster.
He clearly knows how to charm, deceive, and lure others. It was clear that if he let his guard down even a little, he would be caught.
‘This person is a fraudster.’
Chloe nodded loudly.
‘I’m just holding on until old man Cardi comes…!’
Chloe braced herself.
2.
‘···Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?’
Raniel tilted his head.
This was because it was difficult for her to understand the reaction of the girl in front of her. She stepped back to keep her distance, but then she lowered her upper body and looked at herself… In many ways, she was an unpredictable girl.
‘Is there a high probability that the warriors are of some kind?’
It seemed like a fairly reasonable suspicion.
Raniel looked at the girl with suspicious eyes.
‘The next hero candidate, Chloe.’
The first time I heard information about this girl was a few months ago. Raniel recalled the information she heard from Kalt in her head.
A warrior candidate about to awaken.
Since he has not yet awakened, his weapon has not yet been determined… but he is expected to be special.
In addition, there was a variety of information, such as that he was under national protection rather than under the protection of the Black Magic Tower, but what remained strongly in Raniel’s mind was something else.
‘The first Wizard class hero.’
This is an unusual case.
This is the first case to appear in hundreds of years of history.
‘A warrior has learned magic.’
However, no warrior has ever been born with the talent of a wizard. In the first place, the mana accumulated in the warrior’s body is not suitable for the use of spells. This is because it has been developed to strengthen the body.
Physical ability that surpasses that of a superhuman.
A warrior blessed by the stars.
It is the warriors who march through the battlefield with that in mind. It has been this way for hundreds of years. However, the girl in front of him is different from the heroes Raniel has seen.
‘···The body is weak.’
There are no calluses on the hands. There are no noticeable habits or body tilts. This means that you have never handled a weapon.
However, as if to replace him… this girl has something that no other hero has.
‘Unfamiliar Mana.’
A heterogeneous mana flows around the girl.
It is a very heterogeneous mana, similar to but different from the starlight that Kyle burns. Even Raniel had no idea how to deal with that.
Why did you become the person in charge of this girl’s education?
Looking at that mana, Raniel seemed to understand why the Dark Tower lord made such a choice. That’s mana that can’t be handled using ‘normal methods’.
‘That’s why it’s worth studying.’
Raniel’s blue eyes sparkled.
“···It’s fun.”
“yes? “What did you say?”
“not a big deal. don’t mind.”
‘There’s only one thing to worry about…’
Chloe feels an inexplicable eerie feeling at the sight of Raniel eating his food right in front of her. After a moment of silence, Chloe opened her mouth.
“···You just said you know me, right?”
“huh.”

“I think it’s my first time seeing you today.”
“I guess so. “It’s my first time meeting you too.”
“But how do you know me?”
Raniel answered briefly.
“You said you’re entering Aplia?”
“How do you do that…”
Chloe’s eyes widened slightly.
Raniel said, pointing to my face.
“Because I am Aplia’s professor.”
She rummaged through my suit pocket, took out something and put it on the table. Chloe’s eyes widened when she saw that.
‘···Aplia pass.’
It’s different from Belnoa’s.
This is a pass given to the professor, not the student. Chloe looked at the pass and then at Raniel.
‘Isn’t he a fraudster?’
Apparently not.
While Chloe’s pupils were shaking violently, Raniel continued speaking.
“I heard you’ll be enrolling in the second semester? It’s easy to hear the names of transfer students. So, even though I don’t know your face, I do know your name.”
“Uh, ummm…”
“so.”
Raniel chuckled and laughed.
“Should we still keep some distance and talk?”
“Oh, no…”
Chloe dragged the chair and came forward again.
The sound of a chair being dragged loudly rang out. Chloe asks a question carefully. In her opinion, she was asking a question that was a bit late.
“Professor, why are you in this place…?”
What is the purpose of your visit?
Raniel answered Chloe who asked that question.
“I have someone to meet.”
“Are you here to see Belnoir?”
“Not that girl, the owner of this store.”
“You old man Cardi?”
“Yeah, do you know where you went?”
Chloe shook her head.
“I don’t know where you went, but I asked you to check out the store for a moment, so I’m sure you’ll be back soon.”
“Then that’s it.”
“······.”
After those words, silence came.
It was because there was nothing else to say and Chloe was too busy looking out for Raniel. Chloe’s eyes wavered back and forth.
‘Can I ask you something? name is? What subjects are you responsible for? Or even about Aplia…’
While the identity of the suspicious guest in front of her was revealed to be Professor Aplia, the woman in front of her looked a little different in Chloe’s eyes.
‘···Wow, professor.’
On the day when Aplia’s admission was postponed by about half a year, Chloe ran around the black magic tower, cheering. Chloe’s expectations for life at Aplia were so high that she tried on her pre-made school uniform in front of the mirror several times a day. Very much.
But who is that in front of you?
He is a professor at Aplia Academy.
Since he is an official of Aplia, he must know a lot about the Academy. She has a lot of questions she wants to ask and a lot of stories she wants to hear.
“Um, um…”
But it’s difficult to talk to.
Chloe continued to look at Raniel. Chloe still feels afraid of the guest in front of her. The suspicion that he was a fraud has disappeared, but that’s it.
‘A very violent person.’
And someone who has a taste in his head somewhere.
It’s a first impression that can be called the worst. I want to say something, but I still feel like he’s a bit scary.
It was around this time that Chloe was purring her lips. Perhaps feeling sorry for Chloe, who was only paying attention to him, Raniel broke the silence and opened his mouth.
“It will be really soon if I enroll in the second semester.”
Chloe nodded, thinking it was time.
“I think I’ll be enrolling in about a month. “I think I’ll be entering the dormitory a little earlier than that…”
“Did you buy all the school uniforms?”
“yes! Mr. Yetual made it himself. “It seems like some strange function was added…”
Strange feature.
This is a story that would bring tears to Yetual’s perspective as he engraved the highest level mana engraving. Raniel smiled bitterly and tapped the table.
“Okay, whatever.”
she smiled
“I’ll see you often once school starts.”
“···Often?”
“Because you will take my class.”
Chloe flinched at those words and her shoulders trembled.
“Well, I heard I’m taking a special class.”
“Special class?”
“It won’t be an ordinary class, but a special class from an amazing professor…”
“Hmm.”
Raniel rested his chin and let out a faint smile.
“Still, you’ll be taking my class, right?”
“Well, I don’t want to take classes from a violent person like the professor.”
“Are you violent? I?”
“You tried to hit me as soon as I met you…”
Chloe muttered in a hushed voice.
Raniel shrugged his shoulders and vaguely asked the girl in front of him.
“Then do you have any other classes in mind?”
Chloe’s eyes lit up as if she had been waiting for that question.
“I’m going to take a class from a very elegant person.”
“Where is the graceful horse in class?”
“But, I heard that his classes are full of elegance and elegance, and even though they are difficult to understand… there are things you can understand?”
“Who said this?”
“It happened here.”
Chloe took out a newspaper from her arms.
It was a newspaper from a few months ago, and it was about Aplia’s first public class.
“A new professor who appeared like a comet.”
“Rania Van Trias.”
“Professor Rania’s class was elegant, full of elegance, and covered in depth the basics that all wizards overlook…”
Elegance, grace, enlightenment.
It’s a piece of newspaper with those words circled in red. Chloe said, proudly unfolding the newspaper, which was now tattered from how many times it had been folded and unfolded.
“I’m going to take this person’s class. “This is not a class taught by someone as violent as the professor!”
The corners of Raniel’s mouth trembled.
She couldn’t hold back the laughter that was about to escape, so she covered her mouth with her palm. Chloe blinked at the sight of her lowering her head and shaking her shoulders.
“···Why are you doing this?”
“Big, no. “It’s just because he’s a professor I know well.”
Chloe tilted her head without knowing what was happening.
It looks like he is holding back laughter. I feel like I’m missing something. Chloe narrowed her eyes.
‘Oh, now that I think about it, something…’
Gray hair and blue eyes.
And a suspiciously young professor.
I felt like I had seen the characteristics of the person sitting in front of me somewhere before. That too, very close. Chloe looked back and forth between the newspaper and the customer in front of her.
“ah.”
That’s the moment.
A previously unthinkable possibility pops into Chloe’s mind.
‘···no way.’
Chloe’s pupils shook.
“Huh, Professor? “What is your name?”
It was then. With a jingle, the door opened.
3.
Sigh.
Belnoir held the luggage in both hands and pushed the door open with his tiptoe. For some reason, the hinges seemed to be particularly creaky today, but there was no problem opening the door.
The bell hanging at the end of the door rang.
Belnoir looked back as he pushed the door open.
“Young man, where can I put this?”
“Go a little further in.”
“It’s heavy.”
“I just need to take a few more steps.”
With a thud, the old man pushed Belnoa’s back.
Belnoir walked into the store as if he was being pushed. The old man must have been displeased with her slow pace and clicked her tongue as she looked at her belle Noah.
“Anyway, can’t you move quickly? “It’s because the young guy is so slow…”
“Younggam bought too much. What are you going to use all this for? Anyway…”
I put the box down with a thud.
Belnoa straightened his bent back and patted my lower back. Then, turning her head, Belle Noah opened her mouth. She spoke to her girl who was waiting for her inside the store.
“Oh, I’m sorry Chloe. “I’m a little late because my husband told me to run an errand.”
Belnoir blinked before speaking.
Chloe wasn’t the only one sitting in the store. Another very familiar figure is sitting there. She waved her hand at Belle Noah.
“Oh, Belnoa.”
A woman with gray hair.
Belnoir tilted his head as he looked at the woman sitting across from Chloe. Why is that person here?
“···Professor Rania?”
This is the moment when Belnoa said that name.
thud!
Chloe hit her forehead on the desk.
I hit it so hard that the sound was quite loud.
‘···Why is he doing that again?’
It was an unknown situation for Belnoa.
