Chapter 55 – Mesgaki + Assistant = M’s Gaki (4)
I sat down on the dorm bed and grabbed my face.
Nothing goes the way you think.
No, it worked out as I thought.
Because I expected Vivian to win.
…But it wasn’t like winning.
What I wanted was to see Vivian overcome her timid personality through a duel and grow to the next level mentally, not overwhelmingly blow away her opponent.
“Eugene-sama… Well… Well, did you do well?”
Look at Vivian now.
Mentally, rather than growing up, I retreated, and only my magic skills improved, as if I had learned tricks like ‘coordinate designation’ and ‘sensory assimilation’ from someone.
‘Why did this happen?’
Unaware of my complicated mind, Vivian approached me with sparkling eyes like a puppy in front of a snack.
In fact, on Vivian’s part her, nothing was wrong.
Because I won just like I ordered.
However, since I am a human being, I couldn’t help feeling nasty.
‘…’
After I watched without answering for a moment, Vivian’s expression suddenly darkened and she trembled and stepped back and bowed her head.
“… Sorry, I’m sorry… Yu, I didn’t mean to ask for praise from Yujin… I’m sorry. I’m sorry..”
…Only today, Vivian’s self-esteem has crawled to the floor.
He seemed mentally preoccupied with his meeting her with Bianca later in the evening.
“…I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I was born. I won’t ask you cheeky questions again. I’m sorry.”
Vivian’s trembling intensifies, and the light slowly disappears from her pupils.
If I continued like this, it seemed that the ‘blackening awakening’ that I had been trying to block would start again.
‘Let’s be patient…’
I sighed inwardly.
After today, Vivian’s uneasy state of mind will subside a lot.
You just have to be patient until then.
“…No, good job.”
I couldn’t gnaw away at Vivian’s mentality any longer, so I patted her head as quickly as possible.
“Huh… Eh…? Ah… Ah, thank you… Yujin-nim…”
Vivian smiles so happy that you can be sure she would have waggled if she had a tail.
…Tears are still flowing, but I wondered if it was okay for people’s emotions to change so drastically.
As she was stroking Vivian’s hair, Lucia opened the dorm door and came in.
“…Oh?”
As soon as she sees Lucia, Vivian returns to her original position of her.
It was the same as when the senior appeared in front of the private, who was lying down watching TV.
“…Vivian, I guess you were praised by your master?”
Lucia said with the kindest smile in the world.
“That, that… “
“…I was praising Vivian for beating a sophomore in the grade match today.”
“Oh, well done. Vivian… By the way, Master. Lucia won today too.”
Saying that, Lucia sat next to me and gently leaned her head.
It looked like she was asking for her hair to be stroked, so when I stroked it, Lucia purred like a cat.
“Hmm..Um..Hhhhh..”
Let’s stroke it moderately like that and try to let go…
“…Come to think of it, my opponent was the senior in the second year. Master.”
…More strokes.
“Whoah…Thank you. Master.”
As I was stroking Lucia, who was stretching herself in anticipation of me, I felt strange.
‘…Something…Something…Different.’
Obviously I am the owner.
I have the initiative, and I am the one who praises….
Lucia opened her mouth when she felt an unknown discomfort welling up in her chest.
“…Master, I saw Bianca Beatrice in Daejeon today.”
“Hick…”
The moment she heard Bianca’s name her, Vivian let out a small scream.
‘…’
She screamed at the mere mention of her name, and I was worried if it would be okay.
“… How was it?”
“Um… It was very ferocious. It was almost a beast.”
Lucia smiled and continued her words.
“While hitting the neck to prevent the opponent from surrendering, he kept an ambiguous line for the professor to stop and harassed him until the end.”
Also Bianca Beatrice.
It was the representative personality trash of ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’.
It is absolutely not an evaluation with resentment for what I was beaten.
“And even after a match, they insult me… How do you do that…”
After clearing her throat for a moment, Lucia whispered in her ear in her voice dripping with honey.
“Idiot~♥ Scrappy~♥ Garbage~♥ I was weak and lost~♥… It felt like this. Master.”
I thought I didn’t have this taste, but maybe because Lucia said it, whenever the wind blows in my ears, my lower legs twitch.
“Oh… Master… If you wish… Anytime… Anytime, please give Lucia an order…♥”
… As if tempted by a little devil, Lucia gently stroked her thigh with a charming smile.
***
Not a single light could be seen outside the window, signaling the arrival of winter.
“…Whoa…”
Bianca Beatrice, who had been practicing alone in her gym until late at night, sighed and wiped away her sweat.
Even the students who used to use the training center together took a break or went to play today to commemorate the end of the school year war, but Bianca did not skip training.
“…Tsk.”
Reflecting on today’s events, Bianca clicked her tongue.
She felt that no matter how hard she trained, the wall of her talent her stood in her way her.
In the second year, Bianca’s ranking is 7th.
But she really thought that if she fought to the death, she would be worthy of a second place.
…But 1st place was different.
The number one talent that Bianca thinks is not a level that she can overcome with her efforts.
A jewel that shines brilliantly under the blessing of talent.
She was number one in Bianca’s mind.
….But even that thought collapsed today.
‘Lucia Urella.’
She was a true jewel.
Thought she was a jewel, she was even number one. Compared to Lucia, she was nothing more than a pebble.
As befits the faculty’s evaluation, the 1st year subject has already shown magic skills that seem to have surpassed the 2nd year.
But more than anything, what made Bianca despair was the sense of real combat, as if she had been on the battlefield for decades.
Genius
The appearance of Lucia I saw today could only be evaluated that way.
‘Annoying.’
Bianca gritted her teeth.
He was jealous of Lucia’s talent for lightly trampling on the 1st place that he couldn’t catch up to even if he tried so earnestly, and he was even more angry at himself for being jealous of it.
When the anger that builds up inside you doesn’t know how to release it and it just keeps getting bigger.
Rumbling—
The training room door opened and someone came in.
***
“Hello. Seniors.”
I smiled cheerfully and said hello to Bianca.
“You… Last time… “
“Five! You remember.”
Bianca, who looked at me over for a moment, opened her mouth.
“… Hmm, so what’s going on?”
“Um… I have something to do with you, but I have someone to meet before me today.”
I pushed the back of Vivian, who was trembling from behind.
“Hee…Heh…Huh…”
“…Vivian?”
“Huh…Heh…Uh, sister…”
Seeing Vivian, Bianca’s eyes widen for a moment, then sharpen.
“Hmm… I was waiting for when the heck to come find me… But it’s very late. Come this way at once. Vivian.”
Bianca wouldn’t even be aware that that was an order.
It was natural for Bianca to listen to Vivian when she spoke.
I nudged Vivien’s stiff side, and Vivian answered in an off-tone voice.
“Heeuk..Black… Shi, poetry, I don’t like it.”
“… ?”
Upon Vivian’s refusal, Bianca’s face momentarily took on an expression of ‘…Vivian talking back?’, Then contorted with anger.
“Vivian… Do you know who you are talking back to?”
Bianca snaps a sharp shot, and Vivian holds onto my hand with tears in her eyes.
“..Heheh..Wee..Even if it’s dangerous… Yu..Yujin-nim will protect me.”
“Eugene…?”
Bianca’s eyes narrowed the moment she heard my name her.
As the eldest daughter of the Beatrice family, who dreams of reviving her family, she seemed to have a good understanding of the major families.
“Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t even tell you my name. Seniors. My name is Eugene Calliope.”
“…So what happened to the young boy of the Calliope family?”
Bianca’s tone changed.
No matter how senior he was, it seemed difficult to speak carelessly to a member of the great family holding the real power of the empire.
“Last time it was practice, so this time I’m going to stick with my seniors properly.”
“Ha, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to play with the muppet. You’re satisfied with the one last time… And Vivian. This is your final warning. Come over here.”
“Hee…Heh…Uhh…”
The fear that has been built up for decades does not go away so easily.
Vivian tries to move reflexively at Bianca’s command her…
“… I’m sorry, but that won’t work. Because ‘this’ is mine.”
I put my arm around Vivian’s shoulder her and pulled her into his arms her.
They look too close to be just classmates.
Bianca’s face crumpled when the words that were difficult to pass were added to it.
“…What is that now…”
“I mean literally. It belongs to me.”
I smiled refreshingly and squeezed Vivian’s huge magic bag of her.
