167. What is it, that senior is cool!
* * *
March Entrance Ceremony Day.
Currently, Vivian is staying in Nea’s dormitory. The state of being in the dormitory for candidates after leaving the dormitory where they usually stayed.
She blankly looked into the mirror.
Her brown hair fell slightly over her shoulders, and her eyes were the same color as hers. Those ordinary colors that you see everywhere when you look around the streets.
I didn’t always like that.
Today, her brown hair even looked particularly dull. Looking in the mirror, she was no longer wearing a maid outfit.
He served 20 years as an employee of Logness Class. Born in Logness Castle, he never thought of himself as special except for being part of the sword clan.
Suddenly, Vivian remembered what happened yesterday.
‘no. That’s not it. It’s just that the name is a little friendly… , If you don’t like it, you have no choice but to become a master… .’
‘My senior, teacher, and older brother suggest it… , How could I say no?’
I felt ashamed just thinking about it. I didn’t even know how he could have said that. It might have been better to seduce her outright.
‘I must be crazy… . I’m sure you’ll think it’s a request… .’
Vivian buried her face in her palms. When I was in a moment of embarrassment, someone opened the door and came in.
“Vivian, are you finished preparing for the entrance ceremony?”
The sound of the door opening startled Vivian. It was Sepia who opened the door and entered.
“Oh, wow… , It suits you quite well.”
Sepia looked up and down Vivian’s academy outfit. It suited her better than her usual maid outfit.
As of today, Vivian was going to be a candidate for a hero from a servant. The other day, it was Vivian who had carefully handed out the letter of resignation to Sepia.
‘If you want to come back, it’s okay to come back anytime.’
‘My lady, thank you for your understanding.’
‘But who will drink tea with me now?’
Sepia coolly let Vivian go. It was a parting that was decided from the time Vivian took the candidate test.
To Sepia, Vivian was like a friend and sister. It was both sad and proud to be away from such Vivian.
“My lady is always beautiful.”
“what… . Suddenly, out of the blue.”
“is that so?”
Silence intervened between conversations. Vivian has been a bit strange these days.
“Vivian, are you worried?”
“… Are you worried?”
“Oh, you just look so worried. Are you worried about entering the academy?”
Vivian couldn’t answer easily. I have been watching Sepia’s love from the side. We worried together, got to know each other, and supported each other.
‘Sorry. miss… . I like that lady’s lover.’
It was a secret I couldn’t tell even if I died.
The more I did, the deeper my guilt felt. Because he was only a servant. When the feelings of betraying her came to her, even she didn’t know what to do.
‘Yesterday, the lady wagged her tail like a bitch at the person she liked. I knew I shouldn’t… . I don’t even know the subject.’
The hand on her lap trembled slightly. It was a heart I had to keep to myself. Maybe it would be too late from now on.
Anyone can love, but not just anyone. Even knowing that, I couldn’t control my heart that had already grown.
There were many days when I stayed up all night alone with my heart fluttering. The more I did, the more the guilt grew.
“Vivian, you can talk to me. you and i are like sisters Think of me as an older sister and talk to me comfortably… .”
Vivian shook her head slowly. couldn’t tell It was shameless. How dare you like the man you like.
“I guess it’s just that I’ve been worrying a lot lately as I’ve been going through a lot of things in a row.”
“Is it because of time travel?”
Sepia still didn’t know exactly what happened to Vivian and Ethan during their time travel.
“ah… , yes, that’s right.”
It was a lie. But sometimes lies are more important than the truth.
“Okay. tell me when you want to talk Why don’t you wait until then?”
Sepia tapped Vivian on the shoulder.
“Let’s go, Vivian. It’s almost the entrance ceremony now.”

It’s not surprising, except for Arianne, all the members of the club are in the 2.5th grade. So, it became an early graduation class.
Arthur, Anya, Sepia, Reus, Sonny, and even Tesha.
Well, they were all strong enough to rise to the top 10 upon graduation. As an exception, Tia leads the Grand Prize instead of the top 10 spot.
Anyway, everyone has become inexhaustibly stronger than at the time of the original.
Maybe it’s because they competed and cooperated with each other to become stronger.

Just looking at Tia’s contract with the light spirit, it was the same. He probably practiced inexhaustible elemental magic during vacation.
By the way, everyone except Ariane was in an early graduating class. It’s strange.
For reference, there was one reason Arianne couldn’t join the club.
It’s like that since I transferred in the second semester. He did not enter the senior class because he did not meet the requirement of completing more than one year of Nadia Academy. It wasn’t because of my lack of skills.
Arianne didn’t seem happy about having to take classes away from Arthur, but what could she do?
Even in the second semester, you can enter the early graduation class, so you have no choice but to look for it.
Anyway, today is the entrance ceremony day.
Thanks to that grand event, the 2nd and 3rd grades were like a day off until today.
Still, the reason I visited the auditorium was because of Vivian. Because it was the day Vivian officially joined as a junior.
Entering the auditorium, Sepia waved at me. In Sepia’s hand was a large bouquet of flowers.
“Ethan! It’s here.”
And beside Sepia were Tia, Tesha, and Anya. Vivian seemed to be standing somewhere in the crowd.
I waved my hand at Sepia.
And Tesha’s eyes met. When our eyes met, Tesha slowly turned away from my gaze.
Then the chairman of the board stepped up on the podium.

Just as all the principal’s lectures were long, the director’s lecture was also long. Last year, training was also long, but this year was no exception.
Even at that time, he continued to give a long speech about the history of the long and terrible war between the demon world and the real world, the courageous achievements of the warriors so far, and the request to the candidates.
“And there have been a string of amazing things happening lately!”
Amazing things are happening one after another?
Perhaps they are trying to raise awareness of the signs of the revival of the demon king by conveying the news that the Demon Church and other battles hidden in the shadows have been discovered in various parts of the empire.
“There you are! Ethan, the best candidate for the first year last year!”
The principal pointed at me standing in the back row. Stunned, I looked around. All the freshmen’s eyes were on me.
“It’s amazing! During the winter break, Edan, who was the best candidate for the hero, caught three mines!”
oh
I swallowed a sigh and drew in my breath. Suddenly, I felt a bit of regret for participating in the entrance ceremony.
Was it the cause of the trouble that I went to the administrative office early this morning and showed the tokens of Mine one after another? That was just an hour ago.
But has it already reached the ears of the chairman?
“Vassago, the third-ranked demon! Gamigin, the 4th ranked demon! And even the 32nd ranked Asmodeus! Ethan is the one who got rid of all of this during winter vacation! This is your senior, Ethan.”
It was obviously a great thing to look at objectively, but it was a bit like trying to get everyone’s attention.
“This is the first time since Lund Amos, your senior and currently the strongest hero, to subdue multiple demons in such a short period of time! I hope everyone will applaud the performance of the seniors.”
The sound of applause filled the auditorium.
Our eyes met and Vivian smiled at me. Soon, the chairman continued to speak.
“Ethan, if you’ll excuse me, please come upstairs!”
Chairman, that’s a big disrespect. But it was too vague to protest.
“Edaan! Come on up. yap!”
Sepia pushed my back. Let’s see Sepia sometime she’ll catch me and harass me a lot.
“Congratulations. Ethan. Standing on the podium in front of my juniors.”
Even Tia, whom I trusted, pushed my back.
I slowly climbed onto the podium. anyway what should i say It wasn’t awkward or burdensome in front of people, but I wasn’t particularly eloquent.
“Ethan-kun, if you have something to say to your juniors, you are free to do so.”
The juniors were half indifferent and half had their eyes shining. I haven’t even become an official warrior yet, but I can’t believe that my juniors are looking at me like that.
“I heard about him. I heard that the hero newspaper had a special feature on him.”
“I heard you were Professor Sylvia von Lynchester’s pupil?”
“I heard you’re the only disciple?”
I see. They dealt with me in that kind of media without even having an interview with me. Although, I’ve been indifferent to the rumors around me, I’ve never heard of such news.
“Ah, hello. everyone. This is Ethan.”
The buzzing atmosphere faded. After all, when you have nothing to say, the principled story is the best.
“I don’t think it’s great that I caught the devil.”
At those words, the atmosphere became gloomy. how to say It was an atmosphere of paying attention to my words, observing and listening to my every action.
“by the way… , Isn’t that a remark that also cuts down the achievements of the hero Lund Amos?”
no, man!
Who are you. I turned my head in the direction of the sound. But I couldn’t find the one who muttered so much.
Without being able to do anything, I continued to speak.
“I think I just did what I had to do. That is all. thank you.”
I nodded my head. Leaving behind that short impression, I went down from the podium. Even so, the chairman’s speech continued.
“Also! A candidate with true heroism has a different mindset!”
I wanted to get out of the auditorium in a hurry. Afterwards, I looked at the opportunity and sneaked out of the auditorium pretending to go to the bathroom.
Then he left the auditorium and stood in the lobby. At that time, I faced someone who led several groups. The one at the head of the group looked at me and opened his mouth.
“Oh, black hair. Are you, by any chance, an Edan candidate?”
“yes? That’s right, who are you?”
“Nice to meet you. Ethan. My name is Lund Amos.”
Lund Amos.
He was the one who was called the strongest warrior in the current position. I wondered why that person was looking for me, but there was a part that I soon figured out.
My achievements have already reached Lund’s ears?
“uh… , I’m glad to see you. Seniors.”
“Ethan, you have a sharp impression as I heard.”
Lund held out his hand. I took that hand.
“The reason I found Nea in such a hurry is because I have a proposal I want to make to you.”
At that, I smiled awkwardly. The word suggestion made me slightly nervous.
