Academy Slave Instructor

29 – Academy Romance

Academy Romance

“……”

Zeroa, who went to Lai’s house for training early in the morning, found the garden in disarray first.

Things that should be in the house are scattered all over the place, and there are clear traces of someone moving in a hurry in the grass. If you looked more closely, you would have noticed that there were many empty bottles, but Zeroa decided that something dangerous had happened and drew her sword right away.

Rai told me to use her shield, so she also has a shield on her back, but she can’t use it well yet, so she’s better off holding a sword for now.

Remembering the memory of dealing with the assassins in the past, Zeroa swallowed her saliva and moved her nervous body to slowly go inside.

Moving cautiously, Zeroa sees a red-haired girl lying on the grass, stops in surprise, then looks around her to make sure there is no danger, then quickly approaches her girl.

“Are you okay?”

“Hmm…”

The girl lets out her moan as if it is difficult. Worried about her, Zeroa hugs her, but if she’s bothered, she pushes his face away and turns away from her.

The smell of alcohol emanated from all over her, but Zeroa, still unaware of it because of her nervousness, hurriedly grabbed the girl’s body again.

“What happened?”

“Ah- is it zero?”

A cracked voice came out of the fainting girl’s mouth. Seeing Zeroa’s worried expression, thinking that she hurt her neck, Rai looks at him with half-closed eyes and jumps up.

“Did you come soon?”

“…… Do you know me?”

“Huh? Ah- you didn’t remove your makeup. Big, big- Hi, Zeroa. It’s Rai Redford.”

Rai cleared her voice and called Zero Ah with a beautiful voice. Leaving Zeroa staring at her with a stiff face, Rai walks around as if she is still drunk, then kicks Aslan, who is lying in the corner.

“Hey, wake up. It’s morning.”

“Ah… Leave me alone… My head hurts…”

“Guests are here. Wake up.”

Rai’s foot, wearing black shoes suitable for modest girls, taps Aslan’s head. Aslan was waving his hands as if it was annoying, but his movements were sluggish as if he hadn’t come to his senses.

“I’ll wash up.”

Zeroa looks blankly at him as he speaks with a tired girl’s face, but Rai doesn’t mind and goes home.

I don’t understand what the situation is, so while Zeroa is in a state of fascination, Aslan, who was buried in the soil, jumps up in surprise and looks around.

His rapidly spinning head meets Zeroa’s eyes, Aslan frowns with a stern look, then turns around and sits down.

“What- f*ck, it’s morning.”

“…… Asran… You?”

“Good morning, Zeroa. I think I’m going to search.”

Aslan lets out a deep sigh, picks up a water bottle that has fallen on the floor, drinks it, and shakes it off his head. As the sun pours down on him as he brushes his hands through his wet bangs, it turns out a pretty cool picture, but Zeroa has no time to care.

Seeing Lai acting as if she were a woman and Asran not caring about him, Zero-Ah shook her head while wondering if she was weird.

“Um… Asran-kun? Instructor Rai is a woman…?”

At Zeroa’s question, Aslan laughs with a rough voice.

“Oh, that human dog is funny. Isn’t she a f*cking pretty girl?”

“I guess… I guess…”

It’s not that kind of question, but Aslan gave a strange answer, picks up the butt that fell on the floor, looks at it for a while, throws it away, and lies down.

An adventure with Rai. No, the escape play was fun.

It’s fortunate that things ended well. No, it would be fortunate if he was simply kicked out of the academy, but if he went further, he might be arrested and imprisoned in the notorious Pentas.

Asran barely survived thanks to Rai’s wit.

Somehow, a human was seeing through all the systems of the guards. How they move, what their reporting system is, and what they do are all in the palm of their hand.

I escaped with armor I didn’t wear, and hid the armor to slow down the search by having the guards identify themselves one by one. She stole a signal flare, turned her eyes to a desperate situation, and naturally played an academy student in front of a guard. Moreover, the academy student was a girl.

It was terrifyingly great when you think of Rai, who looked more like a girl than a girl and even had a good impression from the guards.

He knew the guards so well that it is doubtful whether he was in the guards during his undisclosed career or did something worthy of being pursued by the guards.

After coming back, he toasts saying it was fun and Aslan, who has been drinking all night, holds his head and sees Zeroa, who is still staring blankly at him.

“It just happened.”

“That’s what happened.”

She has been thinking about what she will do as a woman while doing that, but she starts clearing the garden, which has become a mess, knowing that the answer is zero. Asran, who had been lying comfortably, gets up and tidies up the garden with him.

Wash the original appearance. Rai, who has returned with his brown hair and brown eyes, says he’s doing well and sits over an empty keg all night watching them.

“You clean it up too.”

“If you feed me and put me to bed, do some work. Even Zeroa, who doesn’t care, will help you.”

“Shouldn’t you and I get rid of Zeroa, which is irrelevant?”

“Bastard, you’ve suddenly become sincere. You’re not that kind of guy. Perverted bastard.”

“f*ck a pervert, you’re a pervert.”

When the word ‘pervert’ was exchanged, she thought of Rai’s dressing as a woman, and she didn’t even think about interfering in the conversation, and she silently took out the trash. Then, wondering what came to mind, he looked at the two with innocent faces.

“Come to think of it, a pervert appeared in the city yesterday.”

“Huh? A pervert?”

“Yes, it’s a duo that’s so good that the entire guards are moving, but they still haven’t been caught. But it’s a bit strange.”

The two’s eyes met at Zeroa’s words, but he didn’t notice and explained what happened yesterday.

“He has great skills, but he’s a bit of a criminal…”

“What… Did you steal your underwear?”

“That’s right. I stole a woman’s underwear… Stole it? It’s not theft, it’s robbery.”

Zeroa tilts her head at Aslan, who bluntly spit out yesterday’s incident.

“She said that she forcibly removed the woman’s underwear and ran away with only her underwear. It’s good that she didn’t do anything to the victim, but she’s terrible because she’s something so strange.”

“That’s… A terrible pervert.”

Athlan swallows his saliva when he learns of the misunderstood crime.

It was such a terrible crime that it would be better to disappear in the dew of the executioner if he was wrongly framed. Aslan, who could have become a pervert obsessed with women’s panties for the rest of his life if he survives, expresses gratitude to Rai.

Even Lai, who helped but didn’t know the suspect had done that, awkwardly nodded his head.

He helped out lightheartedly, but saved a man’s whole life.

“The training ended early due to an unfortunate incident, but the first place in this training was from Class B. I don’t know if it’s something to celebrate… I don’t know.”

Layla looks at Team 7, who is coming forward to receive the prize, with a pitiful look.

Rai and Sesset were proudly moving her V-shaped hands around and making a fuss over her, Aria as usual, but Zeroa turned her head away to avoid the eyes of the academy students.

The gaze of the academy students looking at them is not good. In particular, Philia is looking at Rai with contempt.

“Yes, group 7 obtained a total of 62 tokens, which are treated as points, and finished the training in first place out of about 50 groups. Of these, instructor Rai, who is a great instructor, saved Emilia-sama, the empress, at the cost of her life. Robbed… No, I got it as a trade.”

Yes. After defeating the assassins, Rai asked Emilia and Philia to hand over the tokens as if it was natural.

Rai’s 7th group, which robbed every token from Emilia and Philia, became number one, and the training ended immediately.

“Despicable man! Converting an honorable act into money!”

“This is a scam! You must return the first prize!”

“Resign!”

The academy students complain, but Rai is condescending.

“If it’s unfair, you guys will also save the princess. Her life is more precious than tokens.”

When the academy students exploded in anger after seeing Rai dance, which was difficult to watch, Layla knocked on the table and made her class quiet.

Having calmed down the overheated atmosphere, Layla began the ceremony with no one to celebrate.

The academy students, who were still when Aria received it, looked at it with her cold eyes when Zeroa received it, and spat out her curse words when Cesset and Rai received it.

Rai, who had been messing around with her body back and forth from behind her, was hit by Layla and fell silent.

“The product is a Magical Circulation Assistant Gadget made by the Delroque Magic Workshop. It is helpful during magic training, so please keep working hard.”

Deloque Magic Workshop is one of the leading magic item workshops in the entire continent. The workshop, which consists of about a dozen artisans, produces high-quality items, but the number of people in the workshop is small, so the production volume is also small.

In Legandia Academy, you can get items because there are academy graduates in the workshop, but the items in Delroc Magic Workshop are so precious that there is a saying that you can’t get them even if you have money.

While the school students are looking at her name with envy, Rai looks at the bracelet-type object that covers her wrist and asks Layla.

“How much is this?”

“It came from Delroque, but it’s not expensive because it’s mass-produced for that workshop.”

“So how much?”

“… There are a lot of guys who buy things and resell them, so used ones are more expensive. New ones cost 50 gold, but if you sell them, they’ll cost around 150 gold.”

It’s an award from her academy, but she doesn’t like Rai who keeps asking for the price, so Leila sighs and explains.

If it was 50 gold, it was quite a big price for academy students. Furthermore, the price goes up three times when sold second-hand, so when Zeroa recalls the cost of living in her own house and calculates that she can live on for 10 years, she opens her mouth and looks at her bracelet.

Reluctant to hear her price, Rai throws her bracelet at Philia, who is sitting in the front row.

“Let’s strike with the borrowed sword.”

“……The sword I borrowed at that time didn’t even cost 1 gold… I don’t have the money to pay the rest…”

“Okay, that’s it.”

The sword Rai blew up while fighting the assassins was bought just for training purposes, so it was a cheap item that was sold randomly in a barrel at a weapon store.

Honest Philia tries to refuse because the price difference between her bracelet and the price is too much, but Rai interrupts her and she leaves nonchalantly.

When Philia, who can’t stand this debt, is about to get up, three three run up to her and get tangled up and brag about her bracelet to the academy students, saying that they are a couple. Missing her timing thanks to her fuss, Philia sees Rai laughing awkwardly and making fun of her academy students.

Knowing her personality well, Sesset forcibly put the bracelet on her arm, and Rai comforted Philia, saying that it would be useless even if she had her training aids.

* * *

Arya sits alone on her bench and sees her bracelet on her arm. Delroc’s products are not rare in the Brickville family, a distant relative of the Emperor and whose father is the Duke.

No matter how expensive and rare she is, her father, who is extremely passionate about her daughter, will buy her even by selling her castle if Arya wants it.

In a family home, there are magic items that are more precious than that, and there are things that are priceless.

But Arya valued the bracelet now on her wrist more than those things.

It was an item she obtained through her own actions. Of course, there is a background in which Rai has robbed her of her tokens for the price of her life, but this bracelet was a symbol that she had been with her comrades for five days.

I am startled at times because of my eccentricity, but trustworthy Lai, Se-se-se who is always bright and approaching me with no dexterity, and even Zeroa who is friendly with the eyes of an innocent boy.

The bracelet she obtained was more valuable because she was with her precious 7 trillion members.

Aria, who was with the people she was grateful for enough to remember that this happened over the years, caressed her bracelet like a precious item.

She is thrilled that Arya, who has always been at her house, feels this way being with her colleagues.

She’s nothing compared to the adventures of her childhood fairy tales, but Arya’s heart beats as she goes through hardships with others for the first time.

Arya looked at her bracelet for a while, then looked up and saw Zero Ah approaching her.

She is overprotected by her family and always rides to her house in a carriage outside her academy, so the objects on her street are nothing but novelties. For her like that, she brings food from her street that she knows zero once a week.

The time together is short and we don’t talk much, but the time with Zeroa was precious to Aria.

But during her training, her assassins appeared and since then, Zeroa seems to avoid her, which breaks Arya’s heart. Even if he makes eye contact with her, pretends to be someone he doesn’t know, turns her head away and tries to talk to her, but avoids her place when she approaches.

She, of course, never visited her bench, which she met every week.

Arya was worried that she had done something bad. She rarely meets people, so she doesn’t know how to treat people. She may have unknowingly made her rude, and Zeroa was disappointed. She’s a kind Zero, and there’s no way she’ll get angry over trivial things, so she’s always wrong.

Arya said she sat on her bench every day and waited for him but she never came knowing zero.

She sees Zeroa, who appeared at the two-week mark, and Arya sees him with her quivering eyes, a mixture of her anxiety and anticipation.

Her unwavering boyish eyes look right at her. He, who had been avoiding her eyes because of his shyness, looked at her with strong eyes, and Aria became more and more anxious.

She wants to say the words of her apology, but her mouth won’t let go. Zeroa approaches her and offers her a small dumpling made with minced meat and vegetables.

“It’s been a while. I bought dumplings today.”

“Yes…”

Unable to say what she wants to say, Arya takes her dango and quietly puts it on her lap. The heat passing through her wrapped paper stimulated her thighs, but Aria stared down at her dumplings as if frozen.

Zero Ah seems to have no interest in her dumplings, so she sits down and doesn’t say anything, just staring at the darkness that her streetlights don’t shine.

Zeroa, who had been silent for a long time, bowed her head to her aria.

“Thank you first. Without Ms. Arya, I wouldn’t have survived there.”

“No. Zeroa-kun helped me too.”

Zeroa, who knows that these are simple words of humility, smiles bitterly. She said she was only in the way and he didn’t do anything.

Everyone there saved their lives by sacrificing their bodies, and it would have been better if they weren’t there.

“We were able to stop them by fighting together.”

“……”

Zeroa changes into a sad expression at Aria’s words. Arya was taken aback, thinking she made another mistake, but Zeroa says with a bitter smile.

“I wasn’t helpful.”

“…… No…”

Arya knows what the pride of a warrior is like by watching her family’s knights, and answers without confidence.

Her eyes seemed to be about to cry, but her sadness soon vanished, and with her eyes filled with her strong power, Zero knows her.

“You might get angry if I say this, but…”

“……”

“I will protect Ms. Arya.”

Arya stares at Zero Ar, swearing her knightly oath. There were countless people who said this to her beautiful woman.

She is tired of the words she has heard hundreds or thousands of times, but Arya just stares blankly at Zeroa, who has become a man with strong convictions in her boy’s eyes.

“I know you won’t trust me if I say that the weak will protect you. But I will definitely become stronger. When Aria is facing the enemy, I will protect Aria from behind. I will stand by or behind Ms. Aria and fight alongside her, just a little bit longer.” Wait for me.”

He said he would protect her, but in the end, he meant to fight alongside her.

And that stupid remark came to Arya in a big way. All of her said that they should protect her and keep her hidden, but she did not say that they would fight alongside her.

A beautiful smile is drawn from her aria’s mouth at her words of wanting to stand on the battlefield together as her comrades. It is a happy smile that even her father has not seen a few times.

“Yes, I will wait. Please stand next to me.”

“Yes. I will definitely stand.”

The two face each other and smile.

“You’re young.”

Leaning on the railing on the roof of a building far away from them, Rai looks down at the two. Even though they are far away, he secretly eavesdrops.

“What are you doing after asking others for help?!”

When Philia shouted from behind, Rai said he knew and turned her body around.

As punishment for burning the deputy headmaster’s statue. Ostensibly for starting a fire inside the academy, Rai had to clear out an old warehouse placed on the roof.

Philia, who was brought in because of the bet she made in the previous duel and the price of her goods from Del Loch, doesn’t do what she tells her to do, and she yells at Lai, who is only lazy.

A warehouse in which goods are randomly stored will require several days of hard work to finish cleaning up, but that person has been fooling around from the start.

She doesn’t like Rai’s expression as if she secretly ate something sweet.

“Ah, come to think of it, can’t I just have you do everything?”

“……That’s what the deputy principal ordered you to do.”

“So, all I have to do is stay here. You can clean up.”

“……”

When I was asked to help organize the warehouse, I asked if I had given you the bracelet for this and tried to return it. I was forced to give 150 gold for the used price because you used the bracelet and I was dragged out.

But again, when Rai tried to force himself again, Philia shook her body.

If I had a wish right now, it would be to hit that nasty face with a knee kick.

“Ahh- I’m kidding. Just kidding. Can I clean it here or here?”

In an unusual atmosphere, Rai smiled brightly and started putting away her things, and Philia let out a small sigh of hers and said, “It’s not there,” She said and she helped him.
