(EP-28.2) Academy Spring Season #3

028 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #3

Hwareuk.

After inhaling some smoke, Elga puffed it out.

“I don’t think I’ll last here. The rigid atmosphere just doesn’t suit me.”

It had only been half a day, yet Elga was already starting to regret her choice.

“When does the class start?”

“It will probably take a month because we arrived early.”

“Daɱn it! If I want to go back to Angmar, I will have to travel by carriage for a week.”

“Are you going back?”

“I don’t know…”

You ‘don’t know’?

Elga usually had a clear yes or no.

She was a girl who would proudly say that she liked or hated something. This was probably hurting her ego.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

So it really was like that.

I felt the need to pacify the sulking Elga before she caused trouble abroad and turned this into a diplomatic catastrophe.

Also, I was afraid of leaving the banquet hall for too long. After all, there was no telling what Aira would do out of my sight…

So I spoke skillfully, as I had always done.

“But, Elga-nim. If you go back to Angmar by yourself, everyone might think that you ran away.”

“Me? Ran away? What are you talking about? What would I be running away from?”

“It is a well-known fact that the Church’s education is difficult. Thus, Elga-nim leaving would be misunderstood as fleeing back to Angmar because you could not stand such hardship.”

“That’s not true, is it?”

“Unfortunately, rumors don’t always flow the same way as the truth.”

Rumors tended to circulate in a stimulating and intriguing direction, regardless if it was true or not. I knew this better than anyone else.

So, I tried to scare Elga a little.

Knowing Elga, she would hate being branded as a coward more than anything else.

After thinking for a long while, Elga mumbled softly while puffing out some smoke.

“That would be troublesome…”

「You have successfully bent the will of the other person!

Gained job experience for ‘Tutor’. + 50」

「Job ‘Tutor’ +1 Level!

Lv. 2 → Lv. 3

Your teachings are more convincing!」

All right, that went well!

If I just continued with what I usually did, my experience points and job level would rise. There were so many advantages that I wondered if this was even possible.

My level improved better than expected.

It would have been nice if this had existed from the beginning.

I would’ve been able to control and tame these problematic gals to my liking.

Tame-.

That was just a word I thought of, yet it sounded pretty good.

With this System and time, it might not be a dream to tame these villainesses and tyrants.

Wouldn’t it be well worth the challenge?

First of all, compared to Aira whose thoughts were hard to understand, the mind of that fiery Elga had many holes and corners to dig into….

“So, Theo. What do you think?”

That question snapped me out of my musing. As I was thinking, Elga spat smoke on my face.

I coughed and choked from the smoke while hurriedly fanning it away. At the same time, the words that were floating in front of my eyes disappeared.

“Well? What do you think?”

What did she say?

I didn’t hear it.

I was thinking about this terribly friendly System and missed Elga’s words.

“Did you not hear what I said?”

“…….”

What should I do? Elga looked angry…

While desperately wracking my brain, I recalled the experience with the ogre Gorgor. Opportunities were high in times of crisis like this.

At that time, didn’t I also take advantage of the situation and turn it into a chance?

So, to get out of this situation, I decided to dig myself further into the hole.

“I’m sorry, I was preoccupied with something.”

“You dare think of something else in front of me, Elga? What were you thinking? No, who were you thinking of!?”

“… Well, I was thinking about Elga-nim.”

“What-?”

Elga frowned.

“I am standing right here! Why would you think of me? What kind of absurd excuse is that? Do you think I’m stupid?”

Anger was added to her already sulking mood. At this time, Elga’s fury made her ponytail stand upright.

Her rage rose to the point that it manifested itself.

However, I decided to trust my Level 8 Actor job and spoke with the utmost sincerity, more than ever.

“It’s exactly because I’m alone with Elga-nim. This situation reminded me of what happened back then. When I thought of that time, the feeling I experienced also came to mind….”

“What? What does that mean?”

“… I am terribly ashamed and sorry, but I have been thinking about Elga-nim’s chest.”

Elga’s hair shot up.

“Th, this, you p£rvert… ! We’re in a temple right now…!”

Elga exclaimed in great perplexity.

She then blushingly covered the front of her dress, though I couldn’t tell whether it was due to shame or anger.

“Are you crazy!?”

“Since that night, there hasn’t been a single day when I haven’t thought about Elga-nim’s chest. I tried to forget, but the feeling kept on coming back over and over again….”

Actually, this wasn’t all acting, it was half serious.

Elga’s chest seemed to possess some sort of magical power. In fact, for over two days, I had constantly thought about how good it felt.

That soft and warm sensation gave me a lingering desire. How would it feel if I touched its bare skin? That would probably be the goal of life itself…

“Ugh…. What are you spouting now?”

Elga frowned, while looking at me strangely.

However, with her not twisting my neck or slapping me, it was already half successful.

Good, good.

Things were going better than I thought.

Maybe I could experiment with this as well.

“Elga-nim…”

I looked at Elga with puppy eyes.

There would always be people in the world who were bad at rejection.

Wearing pointed high heels, Elga was a little taller than me, so I naturally had to look up.

“Do you wanna die!? Who told you to look at me with those eyes!?”

Bonk.

“Hieek…!”

Elga delivered a honey chestnut that hit the back of my head like a meteor. Euk- I grabbed my head and shed some tears, wondering if I had failed.

But soon, words appeared in front of my hazy, teary-eyed vision.

「Yelp from a honey chestnut…!
