Became a Childhood Friend of an Academy Genius

36 – Bell is mine!

I listened to Professor Fenneline’s shrill voice with one ear and almost let it out with the other, mechanically transferring the words written on the blackboard to my notebook and writing them down. .

To be honest, I don’t know what this means at the point where I’ve already spilled half of it, but I have no choice but to pretend to study for now as deductions are added for my class attitude.

Let’s copy the contents of Lone or Aden later.

Tak!

I’m in the middle of writing like that.

Professor Fenne Linne put down the chalk she was holding in her hand and moved her gaze somewhere.

Apparently, he checks his watch to gauge the remaining time until class ends.

“I think we should end the theory class here….”

Pair! Pair!

With her hooked nose twitching, she came out in front of the podium and clapped her hands, drawing attention to her.

“Attention. Let me know what assignments I need to prepare for next time.”

There are still 10 minutes left, but I wondered if he would finish class early for some reason, but he had other business as expected.

I am an asshole with vain hopes.

By the way, isn’t this the first time Professor Fene Linne has mentioned her preparation assignment?

As I remember, the herbalism class was boring, but the reason the cadets were given even halfway evaluations was probably because there were no assignments.

“What is it, an assignment?”

“Ahh, I thought I was going to die of boredom in class….”

Unsurprisingly, her proclamation immediately clamored out from the surroundings.

Of course, it was barely audible to my ears, since no one would dare to say such things openly in front of Professor Fenneline.

After uttering a proclamation that was tantamount to a death sentence for us, Professor Fenneline picked up her baton from the top of her lectern and waved her in the air.

Then, something in the shape of a soap bubble floated right under the light, and soon changed into the shape of a glass bottle containing a green liquid.

Is that a potion?

“This will be your task. Most potions and potions are made from medicinal herbs, even a bad guy would know, right?”

I know it, but do I have to add that kind of sajok?

At this point, I wonder if he is doing this on purpose to offend the cadets.

“Among them, this potion is called ‘Moker’s prank’. Those in the know probably know, but in the world it is commonly called the love potion.”

Somehow, the word love must have moved the hearts of quite a few people, and the eyes of the cadets who were complaining quickly brightened.

Anyway, a love potion. In case someone doesn’t have a fantasy world view, there are all sorts of different medicines.

Then, do people around you literally fall in love with someone who drank?

Amman Magical medicine is only medicine at best, but it’s questionable whether it can stir up people’s emotions that easily.

“By this time next week, make each one of these Moquer pranks and submit them to me. Of course, each person would have to find the herbs and recipes for it. Dragging.”

Scarily after Professor Fenneline’s brief explanation, a male student in the first row raised his hand.

“Professor, don’t we need to try it ourselves?”

Why is this a well-intentioned question?

But I wonder if it wasn’t just that cadet who had this thought, there were guys around her, both men and women, nodding their heads and expressing sympathy as if they were just about to ask her.

In response, Professor Penelynne said.

“Does it make sense! Stupid guy If you make a mistake and eat it and go to the next world, who will you blame?”

“Is that so dangerous?”

“Huh. The preparation of medicine is a process in which even the slightest failure in mixing can turn a medicine that should have saved people into a poisonous substance. An academy cadet doesn’t even know that…. Tsk.”

In short, I’m saying don’t mess with it, just make one and bring it back.

Sighs filled with regret flowed from everywhere at Professor Fenneline’s scolding.

“Huh….”

For some reason, Lone was included among them, but she pretended not to hear and moved her gaze.

Because I had a feeling that there was still more to say.

“And this assignment will be conducted in groups of two, so start with the cadets in the front and back from the first row. Half doesn’t matter.”

This time, the turmoil increased even more than when he said he was just giving an assignment.

I don’t really care about the group assignment itself, as it’s often done in other classes, but I’m sure it’s a lot of embarrassment when I ask people in front and behind me to form groups without knowing anyone.

It wasn’t that different from me.

I’d rather have a seat next to Lone, but I’d rather be in the front.

If possible, I would like to be paired with someone who is as shy as possible….

“Hey, is Belle in the same group as me? Please take good care of me!”

“Ah.”

… Right. The seat in front of me was this guy.

* * * *

Of course, the person I ended up with is this guy.

I felt like I would sigh when I saw Tina staring at me with her bright face, with only her body turned in her place.

It is a heartless reality.

I’d rather do it with my own strength somehow, but I don’t know why I’m so anxious because I can’t put on a lump like this.

At this point, isn’t there something like a bad relationship between Professor Penelynne and me that has been woven since birth?

“It’s fortunate that everyone I know is the same group. Right, Bell?”

Seeing the owner wagging his tail like an excited puppy, her fist seemed to be crying.

Herbology class limited Even though I’m a model student, I really don’t want to be involved.

I’d rather have gotten a lower score, but considering that her ears will ring all day long with this guy, her head hurts already.

“Don’t worry about group assignments, leave them to me! After all, herbalism is quick.”

“… Okay.”

He is a guy who speaks loudly while banging on her small swollen breasts, but for some reason, I can’t trust him at all.

She seems to be confident in other things, but as far as I know, this guy isn’t very knowledgeable in herbalism either.

Rather than being an honor student, it is literally an image of a model student with a good attitude in class.

In other words, it means that there is a high possibility of becoming a bright apricot.

Just as we were thinking about how to overcome this difficulty with such a pounding head, Rone and Aden, organized as a group, approached us.

“Anyway, it’s unusual to have a group of two. Other professors organize more than 3 people in a group.”

“Well, it’s up to the professor’s discretion.”

Shrugging her shoulders at Aden’s words, I closed the terrible textbook and stretched lightly.

Well, that’s exactly what it says.

Group assignments are usually 1 group of 3 or 1 group of 4.

At least there are cases where the two of us have no choice but to do it alone, like the mock battle training we did with Marie, but most of the cases where we had to do it cooperatively were three or more people.

It was my first time organizing a group of two, so I felt a little different, but I decided to turn my attention to it, assuming that the professor had his own reasons.

Anyway, whenever I take it, there is no hell in this class.

At least, during practice classes, it is fun to experience the effects of medicinal herbs, but the theory class is the only way to get out of school.

I started yawning with my mouth open and started to pack the things I brought, such as textbooks and notebooks.

Because the other cadets were also busily leaving the classroom one by one.

“Are you two in the same group?”

“Ahahahaha…. That’s it.”

Scratching his cheek awkwardly, Aden glanced at Lone next to him.

Come to think of it, Tina knows that she’s quite close with Lorne, but I’ve never seen this guy talk to Lorne alone.

I don’t think it’s very awkward when the two of them are left behind.

Might be fun to watch.

“Um, over there Bell….”

The moment I swallowed my laughter alone, imagining the scene that would happen in a week.

Lone jumped out from Aden’s side and cautiously spoke to me.

I gave Aden a sneak peek because he could know what was going on at once without asking.

“… You go first I’ll go slowly with Lorne.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Tina.”

“Ooh! The two of us stayed in the classroom, so… Huh!?”

In the middle, a Wen Chihuahua rushed at it, but he cut it off lightly and looked up at Lone who stood there.

He held her chin and pointed to the seat across from her, inviting her to sit down, but he shook his head like a child ready to be scolded by her parents and expressed his intention to stay.

Now that you’re doing this, you only look eighteen, not eighteen.

“Ah, sorry about earlier. Bell. I get angry over trivial things….”

“… Well, I don’t really care. I wondered if something was going on because you were hysterical for some reason.”

Lorne had been pouting since before, so it wasn’t new to her.

However, I don’t think there was any particular reason to be upset today, but I was just a bit curious because he was angry about something.

From the looks of it, nothing special happened.

“Ugh….”

“… Unlock.”

When I saw the guy licking his lips looking for something to say in the silence that came for a moment, a smile formed on his lips.

It’s the same as it was then and now that you don’t know what to do when you realize your mistake.

But this time, I have some regrets about not being able to hang out with you, so let’s put this together.

Kwok.

“Huh!? Mmm, my hair is messed up… !”

“With just a little fix, Yunan is fine.”

When I got up from my seat and put my hand on Lorne’s head, the guy struggled with both his hands and resisted fiercely.

Eventually, when I let go of my hand, I could see that my head was a bit more depressed than before, but I thought it was none of my business, so I took the things I had brought and moved on.

“Anyway, let’s go after the conversation is over. Our class has no time because the next class is also a mobile class.”

“Ugh, yes. Oh, and Bell….”

“Hmm?”

Lorne nodded her head with a resolute expression on her face.

Then, she looked up at me, whose head was about one inch apart, and suddenly recited a vague aspiration.

“Trust only me! Bell will be protected by me!”

… What do you protect?

This guy tried to concentrate well in class, but did he have a nightmare while dozing off?
