I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Gratitude

Louis put on a puzzled expression.

“What, all of a sudden.”

Man, if someone you did a favor suddenly turns out like that, everyone would be embarrassed.

But Felice continued to speak coldly.

“Just literally. It makes no sense to teach the family’s arcane swordsmanship to others in the first place. I don’t know what you mean.”

Felice, who had a cold head thinking of her father, was able to think a little coldly.

It makes no sense to pass on the arcane swordsmanship of a family to people from other families, even to their heirs.

Actually, Louis was not originally from this world.

There was a lack of common sense on that side, and there was no great attachment to the Wallenstein family, so it was suggested.

However, for Felice, who accepted this, it was natural to suspect that there was an ulterior motive.

Felice turned his steps without hesitation.

yes this is correct

In the first place, he was with someone from Count Wallenstein…

“hey.”

From behind, I heard Louis Wallenstein’s voice.

His voice caught Felice’s ankle.

Contrary to his usual cheerful tone, now his voice sounded very sad.

“I know you hate me, but I have no idea why.”

The reason is obvious.

Because he’s from the Wallenstein family.

“If it’s not that I just don’t like it, then tell me why. Then I can fix it.”

No, it cannot be fixed.

It’s not his fault.

Felice did not leave, but neither did she open her mouth.

I just stood there as if nailed to it and listened to him.

“I didn’t even have any intentions just now, I just said that I was trying to get to know you. We’re going to be promoting at the same party for three years, so we can’t stay together like this, can’t we?”

No, no.

would be a lie

I wanted to believe so.

Louie’s words sounded so sincere.

Leaving behind him who finally stopped talking, Felice left the gymnasium as if to run away.

the next day.

Felice continued to feel uncomfortable.

In fact, I couldn’t sleep well the night before.

Even if she didn’t care, Louis Wallenstein’s words bothered her.

Even during class, I kept glancing at him.

As usual, he didn’t even try to talk to him.

It was definitely what she wanted.

For some reason, it was a little empty.

‘Yeah, let’s turn the attention off like this.’

She was the one who made up her mind like that.

Louie’s voice, sad, true, and a little desperate, never left her head.

Naturally, she remembered what she had done to Louis so far.

Ignore him no matter how friendly he tries to talk.

Yesterday, I cursed at him for trying to be kind.

It was natural, considering that his father had told him not to have any dealings with Wallenstein.

That action also went against the chivalry his father had spoken of.

Seeing Louis, who looked more sullen than usual, she made up her mind.

As a knight, what he did yesterday was clearly wrong.

Apologize to him and accept his offer.

If it was some sneaky ulterior motive, all you have to do is thwart his plan.

Your father will like it too.

And if that’s not with any ulterior motives, but if you really wanted to get to know yourself…

‘I’ll think about that later.’

After class, Felice called Louis away from the eyes of others.

Behind the teacher, she bowed her head to Louis.

“I am truly sorry about yesterday. apologize.”

With her head down like that, she waited for Louis’ answer.

There was no reason for that, but I was a little nervous.

His answer is heard after a moment of silence.

“No, what. As a human being, can’t it be possible to make a sudden move sometimes? Ahaha!”

rush… I don’t know what this is.

It was a playful voice, as usual.

Rather, it felt like exaggerating, perhaps to relieve the atmosphere.

I still don’t know why, but I felt a little relieved.

“Then, my proposal yesterday was… ”

“Well, take it.”

From that day on, she learned the swordsmanship of the Wallenstein family from Louis.

I didn’t want to stand out from others when I was hanging out with him, so I deliberately met him late at night at the gym.

Even though he must have known that, Louis didn’t express much.

Contrary to what Felice expected.

There was no intention in Louis’ proposal.

They just taught swordsmanship, and chattered frivolously.

Louie mostly spoke, though he was the one to listen.

And that was pretty fun.

Perhaps the reason for the fun is learning a new swordsmanship.

Or, I don’t know if it was fun hanging out with Louis.

As they got along, the two grew closer.

As before, he didn’t ignore Louis even if he talked to him.

When they were alone, Felice also talked a lot with him.

It was a surprise for Felice, who was basically speechless and blunt.

As time passed, Felice came to think that Louis was a good person.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad to be closer than now.

The day I learned swordsmanship from him as usual.

“Wake up. To be able to become a man and stretch out to this extent.”

“Oh, I don’t know. i will rest tiring.”

“Hmm, useless.”

“Yumma! I’ve taught you so much, but you’re talking too much!”

“It was a joke.”

“Don’t be serious and joke around, dude!”

“Seeing you scream like that, you’ve had enough rest.”

Felice was now close enough to joke around with Louis.

But still thank him for teaching him swordsmanship.

Or to say that I was sorry for ignoring it before, it was still unfamiliar.

Felice had never expressed his feelings very often.

Instead, she spoke to Louis.

“Come on, wake up. and… ”

“yes?”

“… After I learn everything, I’ll teach you our family’s swordsmanship next time.”

Felice blushed.

It was the biggest apology she could make, and at the same time a sign of gratitude.

However, in the end, she never learned all of Wallenstein’s swordsmanship from Louis.

She hadn’t even taught Louis the family swordsmanship.

It was when she took time off on the weekend and went down to her parents’ house.

Felice had a meal with a family he hadn’t seen in a long time.

We had a formal conversation about life at the academy.

“I heard that it became the same party as the son of the Duke of Epsylt.”

“That’s right.”

“How is it? Are you friends with him?”

Felice pondered for a while, then answered cautiously.

“… From my point of view, he did not seem to be a very sincere or good human being.”

“Be careful. One of the three dukes who founded the empire, show him the respect you deserve. Wasn’t it some rudeness?”

She shook her head.

Without realizing it, I was like, ‘Isn’t that the same for the Wallensteins?’ I was about to ask, but.

At the same time, I was shocked that he was trying to talk back to his father.

“okay. Make friends with him.”

Meanwhile, her mother opened her mouth.

“Oh yeah! Come to think of it, I heard it at a tea party the other day, and there were rumors that he was close to the Wallenstein’s child.”

As soon as those words were finished, the atmosphere in the restaurant quickly cooled.

“What do you mean?”

The Count speaks coldly.

Say it’s not true, or say you’re sorry.

There were several options for her to choose from.

Among them, Felice chose to defend Louis.

It was something she couldn’t have imagined before.

I really wanted to do that now.

At the same time, wouldn’t his father change his mind if he knew who he was?

I had a little bit of that hope.

“Father, Louis Wallenstein was not as bad a man as you have been told. Rather, unlike my own family… ”

bang!

Felice turned pale and kept his mouth shut.

The Count got up from his seat.

“Don’t let those words ever come into my ears again. It is an order.”

The Count’s words were absolute.

After that, the relationship between Felice and Louis went back to before they became friends.

No, it was worse than that.

Louis wanted to know the reason why Felice was doing this.

Felice pushed out Louis like that, and at his father’s orders, he instead tried to talk to Leo Epsilt.

Although she was blunt, the difference was enough for Louis to notice.

He deliberately acted rudely to push him away from Louis, who was clinging to him.

In the end, even Louis seemed disappointed with her.

For some reason, that fact made my heart ache.

And not too long ago, Leo Epsylt, who was in conflict with Louis on every occasion, proposed his expulsion.

To be honest, I didn’t like that.

I can’t get along with him like before.

Because if he walked out of the party, it really seemed like it was over.

But she couldn’t object.

I couldn’t let the word go around that she objected to having Louie kicked out of the party.

I can’t disappoint my father again.

If the count, who was disappointed, refused to hand over the head of the household to her, then her life up until now would have been denied.

Still, she supported Aine, who was opposed to the end.

In the end, Aine also turned in favor of it.

On the day he declared his exile, Felice was also slightly disappointed with Louis.

By deliberately touching a gargoyle that had no reason to catch it, he put the party members in danger.

Yeah, I thought I’d end it all with that disappointment.

Today, a letter came to her.

A letter announcing that the land was attacked by a swarm of gargoyles.
