Chapter 288 – Chapter 288 Magic School Shutra (2-23)
The dean fully complied with my request.
At the dean’s meeting, I proceeded with the story in such a way that I wished Luna would win first place.
Luna was obviously in the first place in writing like me.
However, it was impossible to manipulate the practical skills because the score was determined only in the order in which they left the room unconditionally.
In the end, the wayhehelped was to make me and Luna win first place at the same time.
I lowered my grades….
‘I really like the way things are handled.’
After the dean finished his last words, Luna and I smiled as we turned our backs to the noisy auditorium.
“It’s just before dinner time. Do you all have time?”
“Yes.”
The 3rd and 2nd year students answered with smiles, and Luna and I looked at the dean with puzzled expressions.
The dean laughed and proceeded with the story.
“I always invite them over for a meal because I want to wrap up the semester with these award-winning students. Would you two accept my invitation too?”
“Ah… Yes!”
“Yes.”
Luna and I readily answered and nodded.

〈1 Practical Rank 〉
1. Seongsu Lake
2. Louis Brandrup
3. Luna Stadtfeld
…
〈1 Grade Written Rank〉
1. Luna Stadtfeld
2. Louis Brandrup
3. Seongsuho
…
“….”
Louis, caught between the students, stared blankly at the tall numbers posted inside the auditorium.
‘Ha… Fuck… Fuck… Fuck….’
Even at the time he entered Strauss as the top student, he was sure that only flower roads would greet him in life.
Magic quickly mastered, and students who look up to themselves.
But at this moment, Lewis was just an ordinary student buried among them.
The students were crying and laughing, paying more attention to their grades than Lewis.
Even the female students who had been following Louis like followers were spouting out their emotions with their eyes only on their ranks at this moment.
At least, the students who were satisfied with their rankings or acknowledged them began to talk about other topics gradually.
However, the only ones who went up and down their mouths were the students who went up to the podium.
“Hey… Luna Stadtfeld is number one in writing….”
“I entered the 5th place in writing this time, shall we talk to you about studying together?”
Students using the same classroom or learning the same attributes, especially male students, were filled with stories about Luna.
It’s because Luna exudes such a cold spirit, but students with some noble titles were still looking after her Luna.
“Hey. Didn’t you see it before? He was also holding hands with Sung Soo-ho.”
“What kind of holding hands are you going out with? They must have caught it once because they were tied for first place.”
“Hey, no matter how you look at it, aren’t you two dating?”
Louise almost punched her in a fit of rage at the boy’s words.
But before Louise could do anything, her boys started clamoring.
“Are you kidding? Even if she is number one right now, Luna is dating a commoner who doesn’t even know what country she belongs to?”
“Sounds nonsense….”
“Still, if you see them sticking together like that….”
The male students continued their conversations with each other without being conscious of her Louis, thinking of her as the 5 students scattered around her.
“From what I heard, they said it was the same club? What is it… It’s a fucking small club, but I can’t remember the name….”
“Yeah, I don’t remember the name either. They said that by chance, only two people enlisted and became close.”
“Is it….”
The male student, who had been wondering until just now, nodded again and began to agree with the other students.
Humans are hopeful animals.
Even if a perfect hint is in front of you, if you judge that it is an answer you do not want, it is the human being who avoids without opening the door.
Not to mention, Seong Soo-ho and Luna weren’t the type to have a big conversation in the classroom than I thought.
From the male students’ point of view, they began to conclude that Luna’s friendship with Seong Soo-ho was because of the club next to her and because she studied better than expected.
If it wasn’t more than that… It was turning the hope circuit to do.
“Ha… I’m already in the club, so it’s hard to come out.”
“Me too.”
“I can’t just keep getting help for the exam and leave now….”
Everyone lamented and started to talk about strange things while exchanging conversations with each other.
“But how did Sung Soo-ho get third place in writing?”
“There, practicality is number one….”
After that, other students also gathered and started talking about the subject.
Louis, involuntarily, began to listen to the conversation.
“Didn’t you just work hard?”
“What did we play? You don’t understand how the suspended guy looked at you so well.”
“But….”
“Hey, maybe….”
“… ?”
Everyone turned their heads at the words of one student, and the student who was burdened by the gaze at himself was able to spit out his thoughts.
“… Couldn’t they have stolen the test questions from the school and saved them?”
If you look moderately well, you won’t have this doubt.
However, it was hard to believe that a student who had been suspended for a month came in first place.
In addition, all the students who used the same classroom at the time of the written test saw it.
Seeing Seong Soo-ho leave the test center first….
“By the way?”
“If I steal it, it won’t end with expulsion, right?”
“I’m curious. I’ll have to ask the old man. Is there such a case….”
All the students who stayed in the auditorium and looked at their grades were excited about the story.
Except for one person.
Lewis had already disappeared from the auditorium.
***
The dean and award-winning students sat at a round table and waited for their meal.
Even though it was a round table, everyone’s eyes were on one side, as if the place of honor had already been set.
The dean was smiling and telling simple stories to simple students.
However, there was only one person who was looking elsewhere.
That’s me
‘Hey… Isn’t this almost lung?
[For the value of money, cleaning and tidying are neat. However, the poor condition of the furniture is probably the main reason it looks like an abandoned house.]
In fact, Luna, too, when she first entered the dean’s house, she had a slightly embarrassed expression like mine.
However, she immediately relaxed her expression and began to be careful not to break her manners in a calm manner.
While I was looking around, the dean smiled softly and said to me.
“I’m sorry for inviting you to such a shabby place.”
At the words of the dean, the students all started to look at me.
I waved my hand and opened my mouth.
“No. I didn’t think so.”
“Then may I ask what you think?”
No, are you saying that this man is on my side and then trying to trick me….
Fortunately, even if the real dean was trying to trick me, there was an escape route for me.
“I was amazed.”
“Well? Admiration?”
“I was impressed that the dean seems to be keeping what he once collected for as long as possible. I heard that by seeing how a person handles things, you can also know how he treats people.”
“Ohh.”
He had an admiring expression on his face, probably liking the answer more than he thought.
And it wasn’t just the other students, Luna was making a similar expression.
‘Whew… Fortunately, it passed.’
[He has excellent adaptability.]
‘This is what I heard in the game.’
[… The application of games is also excellent.]
Is it a compliment?
After I answered, the food arrived, and the dean started talking about another topic.
Most of the content was about students.
It was about where they came from, what was inconvenient at school, and other suggestions.
And it was Luna who crossed over and arrived.
“Luna… A Stadtfeld student, right?”
“Yes.”
The dean had been staring at Luna for a while, unable to take her eyes off her easily.
Crazy inspiration at first… No, the living corpse liked Luna and she was in a bit of a bad mood.
But seeing Luna, whom she met in the assistant professor case, that she wouldn’t act strange, she thought that wasn’t the case.
And the dean didn’t seem to care about Luna’s appearance or her name.
She seemed interested in her last name behind her first name.
“Stadtfeld… Are you from Levin Kingdom?”
“Yes, it is.”
Luna, too, began to straighten her shoulders with pride when her dean took an interest in her origins and her last name.
The dean smiled bitterly at her appearance and continued the story.
“Long time no see. Stadtfeld…. Claudia Stadtfeld….”
The dean started to be silent as if recalling her past, and I whispered a question to Luna.
“Who is Claudia?”
“You are the first head of our family.”
“Aha….”
Her name sounds like a woman, but she didn’t want to ask about such details.
The dean looked at Luna with a bitter smile.
“I haven’t heard from you in a long time. Claudia Stadtfeld… He was a very stubborn friend.”
“….”
She felt that Luna’s planting was slightly annoying.
I don’t know what era the first family head was, but judging from the dean’s words, there was a high possibility that she met during the war.
The dean began to speak without hesitation about Claudia.
“Everything was frustrating, and he was a friend who was really inflexible.”
“….”
“I was such a fool when I risked my life for my country….”
“Dean….”
No matter how much Luna was abandoned by her country and her family disappeared, I couldn’t take that word lightly.
Not to mention, I don’t pay any attention to my family, but if you curse at my family, I’ll punch you first.
It was the moment I was about to stand up thinking of what to say to the dean in preparation for an unexpected situation.
“Claudia… When the friend died, she cried a lot….”
“….”
“Thinking back, it’s the last time I shed tears, so it’s all the more memorable.”
Now I could get a rough idea of the relationship between the dean and the person named Claudia.
I couldn’t tell what kind of relationship it was unless I said it myself, but at least it seemed like we were sharing feelings.
After understanding the meaning of the dean’s words, Luna relaxed her expression.
The dean said with a hearty smile that he hadn’t shown before.
“Come to think of it, it reminds me of Jürgen Stadtfeld, who came before.”
“Ah… My father….”
“How are you?”
“That….”
As soon as Luna heard her name, she suddenly had tears in her eyes, and drop by drop she started dripping into the food.
The dean asked with a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“Do… He passed away.”
“This….”
The dean got up, bowed her head, and began to apologize.
“… Sorry. Because I don’t pay too much attention to worldly affairs.”
“Okay, it’s okay. I’m sorry for suddenly showing you like this.”
I comforted her by passing her handkerchief to Luna by her side.
“It’s okay?”
“Thanks. And the dean… You don’t have to worry too much.”
Luna immediately began to organize the situation and revitalize her atmosphere, and fortunately, the meal was able to finish happily.
..
..
“It’s okay?”
“Ugh… Yes I’m okay.”
Even in the midst of staggering, Luna clung to my arm and walked as far forward as possible.
Luna said that when she was invited, she would drink a glass or two of wine.
Of course, she hasn’t shown herself getting drunk with just a drink or two so far.
But maybe because of the conversation she had earlier, she started to drink more than usual, and she continued to drink without thinking about how much to drink.
I headed for her dormitory, holding Luna, who was staggering, by her side and supporting her.
But while Luna was on her way, I pulled her and said.
“For a moment… Take a break for a while.”
“Yes? Wouldn’t it be better to go to the dormitory and rest?”
“Just… I want to get some fresh air.”
“Okay.”
I ended up taking Luna, who was staggering, to the terrace.
There was no place more suitable for the two of us than there.
Oh no. I forgot there was a cabinet seat.
No matter how memorable Terrace is, she is no match for Cabinet.
The image of Luna grabbing my waist and holding me in her arms caught people’s eyes the whole time.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, so it was not the time for students to wander around, and assistants and professors only looked at it with a smile as if they were seeing a rare sight.
When I got to the terrace and looked around, I didn’t see anyone.
It was only natural that the night had already passed and it was becoming dawn.
“Come on, sit down… Yes?”
As I tried to seat her Luna, she suddenly tugged at my waist and headed toward the end of the terrace.
A place in the corner of the terrace.
It was a place where Luna and I could narrow the distance in a sense.
Luna pulled me into the room as she went inside herself.
I said as I held Luna in her arms and breathed her drunken breath.
“Long time no see. I didn’t even think about coming because of the exam.”
“… Huh.”
As Luna let out her snort, she took me in my arms and started rubbing her face against her chest.
‘I was drunk. He’s more aegyo than usual.’
She doesn’t know about it in bed, but she started acting like a child when she got drunk on Luna, who usually shows her feminine side.
I said while stroking Luna’s hair as she was acting cute.
“Now go to sleep. We can meet again tomorrow.”
“… I can’t stand it.”
“Yes?”
“Just like how Suho turned on the switch last time, I went up too….”
Luna looked up at me, her face blushing and whispering quietly.
“Can you turn that switch off now?”
