The Death Land performance evaluation, which was more dangerous than ever, ended safely.
Class A students all washed themselves and locked themselves in the dormitory. Everyone was at the bottom physically and mentally.
Simon and d!ck were also lying on the bed, not lifting a finger.
“…….”
Simon raised his arm blankly.
A finger is visible above the familiar ceiling. Darkness flowed through his hands.
‘I keep thinking about it.’
Peer apparently said he used Corpse Explosion, but he couldn’t remember. When I came to my senses, it was Prince’s mansion, and all that remained was the afterglow of my body.
But the moment I saw Aaron’s corpse explode, a shudder overflowed.
My whole body trembled and reacted. As if they wanted to recreate that black magic.
‘But there are no zombies nearby. I want to practice, but I can’t.’
Thinking of going to Rochester for the weekend, Simon let his arms hang down.
“d!ck. Sleep?”
“Whoa, not yet.”
I heard d!ck’s sleepy voice from the next bed.
“Do you remember what class is tomorrow?”
“……Uh, I forgot. Wait a minute, I’m suddenly curious too.”
d!ck opened the notebook that had fallen on the bed and picked it up.
“Oh, it’s ruined.”
“?”
“There’s a Mathu class in the afternoon! That’s a joint class with Class C.”
d!ck dropped his notebook and scratched his head.
“It’s ruined. My condition is really bad, but this time I’m going to fall off the hippo.”
“…….”
Simon blinked and looked up at the ceiling.
‘A joint class? There’s someone I know in Class C.’
* * *
‘Joint class’, in which two or more classes take classes together, happened quite frequently at Kizen.
It was because of Keygen’s flexible timetable.
In this case, Aaron ate an entire day for each class to take the Summoning Performance Test.
Classes in all classes where Aaron is in charge of Summoning are being pushed back, and joint classes are being held to cover the progress.
I thought that if this happened, other professors would notice, but in fact, it was common for other professors besides Aaron to spend an entire day or half a day for reasons such as performance evaluation.
Since everyone knows each other’s situation well, they tend to cooperate actively on these issues.
And today, Class C, who went to Death Land first, and Class A, who went yesterday, are going to have a joint class on Matou Studies.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
d!ck, who was exhausted and sprawled out on the grass, was imitating a Deathland zombie.
The other students were also sitting and catching their breath, but none of them fell off the hippo like d!ck was concerned. When cornered, it was people who somehow gathered their strength to follow.
“I heard class A went yesterday?”
“We were just like that.”
Looking at the drooping Class A students, the C Class students were giggling. It was the leisure of those who went first.
“But Simon.”
Meilin, who was sitting across from me, spoke while wiping her forehead with a handkerchief.
“Have you ever seen the real Pion?”
Simon sighed inwardly, but answered without hesitation.
“I don’t know. When I woke up, I was in the basement of the mansion.”
“Sorry.”
Meilin tilted her head as if she was truly sorry. Cami Varez, who was sitting next to her, covered her mouth and laughed.
“Yesterday, Meirin, in the common room of the dormitory, you and I just talked about Pion all day~”
“Oh, that’s cool!”
Mei Lin blushed and shouted.
“Honestly, I didn’t understand why the professors were fooling around while the roommates were squealing? But now I think I understand how they feel.”
“Are you that handsome?”
“of course!”
Simon, who was quietly drinking his drink, almost spewed out.
He must have covered half of his face with his peer’s skull.
“When I was kidnapped and in danger, suddenly, that person came down through the ceiling of the carriage! He beat the pervert who kidnapped me until he was bloody, then kicked him and dropped him on the carriage! I hugged her like a princess and escaped the carriage, and the carriage fell off a cliff in a matter of seconds!”
“Wow! It’s like a fairy tale!”
“…….”
It was only yesterday, but why is the memory altered so badly?
It was hard to hear Simon because he was shy.
“To be honest, Pion-nim was far from my ideal type.”
Merlin said, crossing her arms.
“I really hate things like ignorance and violent behavior. But what do you say about this? Being attracted to bad boys?”
“Is it like a dangerous attraction?”
“No, to be precise, that violent person is only kind to me? I think that’s a bit of a romance. Oh well, to be honest, he has a handsome face, so it’s easy to cover.”
“…….”
Meirin, who was feverishly explaining about Pion, glanced at Simon.
“Hey, but why is your face turning red?”

“……It’s hot.”
Simon turned his head around when he heard the assistants’ voices.
“Okay, class starts in 10 minutes!”
The students who had spread the word rose from their seats and warmed up lightly.
It was then that Simon was preparing for class.
“hello~”
A dignified voice came from behind.
‘Ugh.’
Simon winced and looked back.
A girl with ivory hair hanging over a white coat over her Kizen school uniform was approaching with her hands behind her back.
Simon also knew someone from Class C.
Serne Eindark, the second exception and the successor of the Ivory Tower. Its unique, burdensome atmosphere was still there.
“It’s been a while~ Simon.”
She lifted her skirt with her fingertips and greeted her gracefully like a socialite queen.
Then, the moment she found Maylin next to her, her expression reversed.
“Meryyyin!”
She sighed and clung to Meirin’s arm.
Mei Lin’s brow furrowed instantly.
“I miss you!”
“Oh man! It’s disgusting, so get out of here!!”
Meirin was sincerely disgusted and pushed Cerne’s face away. Her fair face was pushed away by the merciless palm, but Cerne did not give up and came closer to her and rubbed her face against her arm.
“Are you okay? Meirin said she was going to the dangerous Death Land, so Seri couldn’t sleep!”
“Se-Ri really freezes to death! It’s creepy, so don’t do it!”
Meilin pushed her as hard as she could, and Serene fell over in an exaggerated motion.
She sat down on the grass and bowed her head pathetically like a mouse in the rain.
“…Se-Ri just wants to get close with May-Lin.”
“go away.”
Mei Lin said in a boiling voice.
“On the subject of playing with people’s minds at will, it’s only pretentious to say such a thing. You know?”
“…….”
“Let’s go, Kami.”
Meirin took Kamibarez and left.
A moment of awkward silence passed. Serene brushed her hair under his ears with his graceful motion, and looked at Simone with a twinkle in his eyes.
“The lady is down, will you help me?”
“…….”
The pitiful expression was nowhere to be seen, and a foxy smile settled on her lips before she knew it.
Simon reluctantly took her hand and lifted her up.
“It’s been a while since Island Survival~”
“Yeah, that’s right. Work hard in today’s class. Enough with my friends waiting for me.”
Dealing with Cerne was burdensome because it was so exhausting.
As Simon turned and walked, she caught up with her light steps.
“You owe me, haven’t you forgotten?”
Then he whispered, ‘Brigade commander’.
Simon sighed and stopped, looking back at her.
“If you hang out with me today, will you get rid of that debt?”
“No~ I’ll use it when I really need it.”
mate!
At that time, along with the sound of applause, Hongfeng’s unique pronunciation of the continental language was heard.
“Come on! Let’s assemble!”
“Professor gathers!”
“Gather around!”
Class A and Class C all gathered in front of Hong Feng.
“Today, I’m going to learn a special skill! I’m going to spread the distance and do my main job in a team of two!”
The teaching assistants went around and decided on two people.
Maybe because it was a joint class, I made a group by mixing Class A and Class C. Pairs were mostly of the same s*x, but there were occasional cases of a mixture of men and women. It just seemed like the assistant’s heart.
“Two of you there. Two here. Two here. And…”
The assistant who was setting the group stopped in front of Simon. Simon, burdened by Cerne, slipped out of him and stood alone.
The teaching assistant was trying to choose the boy from class C next to Simon, when suddenly a transparent feather fluttered and stuck into his back.
Then, the assistant’s arm turned 180 degrees and pointed at Serene, who was far away.
“With that student.”
“…….”
I saw Cerne waving with a foxy smile. Soon, a feather fell from the nape of the TA’s neck, but the TA moved to the other students as if he didn’t notice at all.
“I can’t help it~ The assistant teacher decided.”
Cerne approached Simon with light steps, as if floating in the air. Her white feathers rustled to the floor as she walked.
‘ha.’
Simon touched his forehead without speaking. He seemed to understand a little why Mei Lin was avoiding her.
match! match!
“Now, everyone has a partner, right? Let’s start with a light warm-up!”
Two teaching assistants came forward and showed warm-up demonstrations. The students had to watch it and follow the motions as they were.
Simone and Cerne also stretched their arms while facing each other.
she said with a sweet smile.
“Are Peer and Elizabeth well?”
Simon winced and rolled his pupils.
The distance from the other students was quite good, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Don’t worry~ I’ve installed it so that the sound doesn’t leak out.”
I saw a feather stuck in the grass. Simon let out a small sigh and said.
“That’s something I don’t really want to do.”
“Then what would you like to talk about?”
Simon said while stretching his side.
“Your relationship with Meirin?”
Serene always seemed to keep a certain distance from others, but she tended to treat Meirin as openly as a friend. Of course, whenever that happened, Meirin, her party, reacted with disgust.
“I don’t know why you’re clinging to Meirin. Like Meirin said, if it’s acting, you’d better quit. Meirin thinks of you as a rival or a target to defeat. Because she doesn’t think of you as anything less than that.”
She smiled.
“Do I really want to be friends with Mei Lin?”
“…….”
“No, isn’t it natural? It’s natural to want to rely on the same ivory tower people in this remote area.”
Simon narrowed his brow.
“Maylin wouldn’t think so.”
“Maybe. But I mean it.”
Serne was an adopted daughter who did not mix a drop of blood with the Ivory Tower camp.
When the ivory tower owner brought her for the first time, she said that she was greatly criticized and ignored by people.
“The one who reached out to me at that time was Meilin.”
Serene smiled and said.
“Maylin was a high level person that I couldn’t even look at as I had just entered as a guest. Even so, he took care of me and played with me, saying that we were the same age. Even knowing that I had entered as the antipode of Meirin.”
Saying that, Serene’s expression showed a vague emotion that was different from her usual pretense.
“It still remains as a warm memory to me~ But as time goes by.”
“At some point, things turned around.”
“yes.”
Cerne’s talent was truly a monster beyond all time.
In the end, the people of the Ivory Tower, fascinated by her talent, made Serne their successor by changing the laws of the Tower.
The situation has been reversed.
Cerne was praised by people, and Maylin, who became the target of comparison, was left with a cold meal. Everyone who cared for her turned their backs on her, and at the same time Mei Lin was isolated, her heart was gradually eaten away.
That’s why, even up until now when I came to Kizen, I was trying to catch up with Serene somehow.
“Maylin firmly believes that I fooled and played with her.”
Serene shrugged.
“I can’t help it. My ability is like this, and I tend to be misunderstood a lot by people.”
“Are you willing to clear up the misunderstanding?”
“The other side is already showing an extremely hostile attitude toward me. Will the conversation go well? Oh, of course.
“why?”
“Maylin is trying hard to catch up with me.”
As she stretched, a feather fell off. She grabbed it and licked it lightly with her tongue.
“Because it has a cute taste if you watch it.”
‘……As expected, I have a bad personality. This guy.’
The fact that he felt sorry for Serene, even for a moment, made him feel a little ashamed.
“Okay, next order!”
As befits a joint class, the teaching assistants’ trial stretching went over to the two of them.
The beginning was simple. Two people turned around, their backs to each other, their arms crossed, and then one person bent forward and lifted the person behind them.
“Let’s start?”
“Huh? Uh uh.”
The two also stood back to back. Simon flinched involuntarily when Cerne boldly took his arm.
“I’ll do it first!”
She took a deep breath and bent down with all her might.
“…….”
But it didn’t matter.
Simon’s feet dropped and landed, and then fell and landed again and again. She continued to breathe and whimper, but her Simone’s foot only took about two seconds to drop.
‘All the ivory tower kids don’t have good motor skills.’
“Now, back to normal!”
Hearing the assistant’s cry, Serene returned to her original position without even lifting Simon. The two of them stood back to back.
“Simon.”
Then, Serene’s whispering voice was heard.
“Now it’s my turn to decide on a topic, right?”
“……Do whatever you feel like.”
“It’s about our future.”
“Something like future hopes? I’ve never thought about it.”
Back at her, she smiled brightly.
“Have you thought about where you will find a job after graduating from the third year?”
‘Was that it?’
It was obvious what to say.
recruitment proposal. Simon sighed inwardly.
Just in time, the teaching assistant’s ‘reverse this time!’ A cry was heard. Her body whimpered so lightly as Simon drew in her breath and bent her body.
‘I can’t even exercise.’
Just when Simon was caught off guard, she suddenly tilted her head all the way back.
Simon’s face turned red as the crown of her head touched Simon’s neck.
“What are you doing…!”
“Or- how about something like this for Simon’s future?”
Her voice resonated like the words of a song.
At her next words, Simon couldn’t help but doubt his own ears.
“The next ivory tower owner.”
