chapter 53
53 – Not remembering (1)
The next day.
A strange rumor started to circulate in Selenium Academy.
“I heard you woke up?”
“Really? Then you’ll be in class again from today?”
“Ugh… It was nice not to have it.”
Rumor has it that ‘Lian Kindred’, who collapsed in an accident during an open class, has recovered.
Since most students didn’t like Young master, there were very few people who were happy with the rumor.
“What?”
“······Really?”
Even those who don’t like the news of Ryan’s awakening couldn’t help but be surprised by the news that came one after another.
“······Amnesia?”
“Oh, I heard you lost your memory?”
The news that ‘Lian Kindred’ lost his memory in an accident the other day.
“Don’t lie. Does that make sense?”
“That’s why. You have to lie to deceive.”
As usual, even the students at the academy would have thought it was a bad lie and passed it on.
That idiot has amnesia. Does this make sense
But it’s not ‘rumor’, it’s ‘news’, everything has a reason.
“It’s real. The health teacher said it himself.”
“······That health teacher?”
Among the students, the health teacher at Selenium Academy was quite famous.
It is always easy to check with magic whether the visiting student is malingerious or really ill, and if it is malingering, he is punished immediately.
It was the health teacher who was reputed to be stricter than any other professor at the academy.
The fact that such a health teacher directly said that it was amnesia. It was really true.
“If the health teacher said… You have no choice but to believe it.”
“Professor Javert will tell you today.”
So, the 1st year class 1 students of Selenium Academy waited quietly.
Are the rumors being heard now true? Or, as usual, just to tell if it’s a rumor.
Drreuk-
“Be quiet, everybody sit down.”
Finally, when Professor Javert opened the classroom door and came in.
I saw two students following him and heard the voice of one of the students, a male student.
All the students in Class 1 were able to clearly understand.
“Hello, Ryan… What did you say earlier?”
“······Lian Kindred.”
“Oh, my name is Lian Kindred.”
That the worst idiot really lost his memory.
*
A chilly silence fell in the classroom.
Maybe it was because of what Professor Javert said to be quiet.
Or maybe it’s because of Lian Kindred, who can’t even remember her own name.
I couldn’t tell if it was because of Adele Listonia, who had a guilty expression on her face.
No one was able to speak easily.
“······As you can see, Lian Kindred is suffering from amnesia due to a previous accident. It will be very difficult for her to adapt to class, so help you guys too.”
“····.”
The silence did not end despite Professor Javert’s request to help Lian.
All the students just stared blankly.
An insane Young master who seems to be burdened by their gaze.
Perhaps everyone had similar thoughts.
‘Is that… Lian Kindred?’
Is that male student who is avoiding their eyes really the idiot they knew?
Of course, it was true that Lian Kindred didn’t mess around at Selenium Academy like the real rumors.
But it was also true that Lian Kindred always exuded a dark aura, just like his rumors, and was always expressionless.
As expected, they were students from class 1 who thought the rumors weren’t so wrong.
‘But that…’
But now they can see Lian Kindred.
Don’t you just look like a timid child?
Just as everyone was thinking these thoughts in their heads, Professor Javert’s low voice came again.
“Although Adele Listonia is going to help by her side until things get better. Your help is also important.”
I hope you all keep that fact in mind.
After Professor Javert finished speaking, a girl’s hand quietly went up.
“What is it, Karina Carter?”
“······ If it’s true that Rian lost her memory… Why didn’t she drop out?”
A low-pitched question.
She didn’t ask why he didn’t expel the idiot Young master.
“For Rihanna’s sake, shouldn’t she have helped the academy go through her withdrawal process?”
Seriously.
There was sincerity in Karina’s words.
When she thought of it from Rian’s point of view, not from her own or other students’ point of view.
It’s only natural that attending the academy would be difficult if you’ve been through such a major accident.
She could say this because Karina genuinely cared about her friend Rihanna.
Professor Javert nodded his head as if he had expected someone to ask such a question.
“It’s not that the academy hasn’t thought about Lian Kindred’s withdrawal. But…”
“Just…?”
“Lian Kindred didn’t want it.”
“······ She didn’t want Rihanna?”
As if asking if that statement was true, she was Carina staring at Adele standing next to Professor Javert.
“······It’s true.”
“····.”
Adele gave her a small nod, confirming what Professor Javert had said.
“I’m going to start class now, you two go in and sit down.”
“······Yes, Professor.”
“Okay!”
So began her first lesson after Lian Kindred lost her memory.
***
He was quite excited.
Up until this morning, people around me were staring at him and creating a sad atmosphere, so I was in a low mood until then, but now, instead, people are staring at him as if they are curious.
Of course, it wasn’t that the gaze wasn’t burdensome. Still, he thought, it was far better than looking at him with a pitiful gaze or a sad look.
At least his mood didn’t turn into a low pressure.
The classes I was worried about were worth taking more than I thought.
I don’t know why, but Jabir is teaching classes using magic terminology? Javert? The professor’s explanation came into my head well.
“·······Over there.”
“I’m not sure? This is…”
If there’s anything he doesn’t know, it’s because the beautiful girl sitting next to him has been kind enough to point it out.
Your name is… Adele…? Listonia? Did you say
She was a noble and pretty girl just like the name (noble) of Adele.
It was a very good voice to listen to, and the voice that explained it was soft.
Then he was looking at the face of the girl who was eagerly explaining to him.
I suddenly became curious.
“Why are you so nice to me?”
“······· Huh?”
“It’s strange. A pretty girl like you helps me.”
It was a pure question.
A pure question as to why such a pretty girl is so nice to him.
When you see the way the other students look at the girl named Adele, you can tell that everyone thinks that way.
Why is this girl so devoted to him?
“······I did a great wrong to you.”
That’s why you’re doing well.
After hearing the girl’s answer, his doubts were not completely resolved, but rather intensified.
A pretty and kind child like Adele did something wrong to him?
“You did me wrong?”
“Yeah. That’s a very big mistake.”
Seeing you say that, it seems to be true.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t even guess what wrong Adele had done to him.
So after a long thought.
“Um… I’ll forgive you!”
“What…?”
“I don’t know what wrong you did to me before you lost your memory, but I’ll forgive you.”
“····.”
“So you don’t have to do this to me from now on!”
He agreed to forgive her.
I still don’t know what he did wrong to be nice to him, but I can’t remember anyway.
Is there any need for a girl named Adele to feel guilty towards him who lost her memory?
‘Wouldn’t it make me happy if I did this?’
It was the one I expected.
Because I thought that if he forgave me, the girl would smile and say thank you.
How beautiful is the bright smile of a naturally beautiful girl. He had thought
But the girl’s reaction was the complete opposite of what he had expected.
“······No.”
“····.”
“Don’t talk to me that way… Ryan…”
Because the girl who heard his forgiveness cried as if she was about to shed tears right away instead of smiling and saying thank you.
He intuitively realized that he had done something wrong and immediately apologized to the girl.
“Sorry, I won’t forgive you, so don’t cry.”
“Thank you, Lian…”
Honestly, I was a little dumbfounded.
‘······Why do you say you’ll forgive me, but you don’t like it?’
Is there anyone in the world who does not want to be forgiven?
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what he did wrong, and I feel like my common sense is twisted.
‘He’s a little strange.’
There are many people in the world. Isn’t it said that God is always fair?
If a girl named Adele, who has a good face, voice, and even hair, has a normal personality, wouldn’t that be too unreasonable for other people?
I thought about it that way and decided to pass it on.
Slightly uncomfortable class time goes by.
Deng-Deng-
I heard the bell announcing the start of lunchtime.
“Hey… It’s lunch time now, right?”
“Yes. Would you like to go out to dinner with me, Ryan?”
At his words, the girl held out her hand and suggested that we go out to eat together.
“Hmm… Is that so?”
She was just about to take that hand without thinking.
‘······Contractor? Are you alive?’
Someone’s voice suddenly rang in his head.
