Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

17 – Semester

Going down the hill, there is a wooden bench. It’s okay to sit together, so I gave way to the senior. She let out her involuntary laugh. A playful smile. A fox in a good way, a horse cat in a bad way.

“Are you really going to be the chief?”

“I don’t say things that aren’t in my heart.”

He looked like he was thinking for a while, but soon his expression was mischievous.

“Are you planning on defeating all battle types?”

“I don’t know. I just like shooting arrows, so I work hard.”

I even added that I was going to do it right because I was annoyed at being ignored.

“Actually, kids like you, there were times when I was a freshman?”

“Yes.”

“However, everyone was full of dissatisfaction and incompetent. I object, but I don’t have the skills to overcome it. So, how is Heoden every time? The faction culture is the problem. I’m just giggling. If you really don’t like it, you can come out and fix it yourself. Am I the only one who thinks this way?”

“I think the same way.”

─It’s a meeting soon, do you have time to chat like this?

“This jockey is really special. For the first time since the establishment of the school, royal families are enrolled, and there are cadets who are better at handling bows than combat students. Everyone in the student council knows that you got the highest score in the basic archery evaluation this time. Professor Rega is really fair, he doesn’t give full marks for no reason. I don’t know much about bows, but they say you don’t get good at that overnight! Are you good at handling all weapons?”

“Yes, what…… A crossbow can do anything, but a longbow takes a little longer.”

I refrained from going into detail because I felt like I was bragging about a topic that wasn’t well known. If it’s a blunt weapon, I’ll deal with it, but the rest is fine.

“By the way, you can’t rent a building used by other affiliates for personal use, right?”

“Anywhere is fine as long as it is an empty building.”

I think I finally got to the main point, and I nailed that I had no intention of using combat-related buildings from the beginning. If I was alone, it wouldn’t matter if it was outdoors, but it had to be indoors to teach kite. At least a wind wall blocking all sides is necessary.

“You are really unique.”

“I often hear that I am weird. I’m going to fight with my motives.”

“Oh, really! You don’t know how cool it was back then. Deman, only you should know this. Got it?”

─I didn’t expect you to even remember my name, but it’s surprising.

“I know at least that I am pretty. You can’t know that Are you not good at saying things like this?”

“No, I am comfortable because I am honest.”

“But you don’t seem interested in me at all. Did I see it right?”

“That’s it.”

I bit his tongue thinking that the mouth of hell would open. Rita-senpai has a look that anyone can see. However, I grew up with Kite from childhood. Before and after her adolescence, she was one of the most beautiful women in Nutshaven. I’ve been living with that kind of kid all along, so I don’t chillle repallele because of her looks.

“If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter if it’s a vacant lot in the woods.”

“No, I’ll try to find it. There’s no problem finding out, but I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

“That’s fine, but may I know the usage fee?”

“No. You can buy me a nice dinner.”

“I think it’s a bit strange when others see it.”

“Of course not. Rumors spread when we eat together, you know, your friend. Untermensi?”

“Yes, I will also call kite. He’ll live anyway. She was supposed to teach me archery.”

—What expression did you have just now?

“Okay, I’ll put it up as a suggestion to the student council. If approved, don’t worry, I’ll give you the key and I’ll even guide you. It’s not difficult, but it will take some time. Administration is late in processing work. So, starting tomorrow, come here every day to find me. I’ll let you know what’s going on right away.”

“Then, isn’t the senpai uncomfortable?”

I’ll give you my dorm room number, so I told you to send me a seal. Since it is the recipient’s burden anyway, this is more efficient.

“Hmm…… I hate that.”

Slightly, she twists the corners of her eyes and crosses her long legs. With the fresh smile erased, her face looked somehow cold. Did I even make a mistake? As I scratched her head, I sharpened my blade with a soft expression.

“Isn’t it too high-handed for someone who asks?”

The other side was considerate, but the accepting side must have been rude.

“It was a mistake. I will be careful with what I say in the future.”

I felt uncomfortable because I was laughing a little while apologizing to others even though I couldn’t do it with Kite.

“Okay, then see you tomorrow. By the way, am I from the North just like you?”

Remove the legs you just twisted. *Sadly, the hem of the skirt drooped into an open space. There was no business anymore, so I wanted to go back quickly. Let’s give it a moderate affirmation, he is from Roh. Maybe somewhere I couldn’t come up with the right words, so I awkwardly affirmed, and the student council executive shouted from afar.

“Rita, start the meeting!”

Then her senior got up from her bench, smiled at her and waved her hand.

“Annoying.”

“Yes?”

“Why is Rex so ugly?”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I stayed silent. If Trey-senpai is annoying and Lia is short-tempered, Rita-senpai feels like something is twisted. I don’t want to be friendly It will be at odds with the naive Kite, so you should be careful when the three meet.

“Thank you for helping me today.”

“Can I ask you a favor too?”

Keep your head down, come closer. Even though the student council senior was watching us from over there on the hill, Rita senior kept beckoning us to come closer. She soon gets close enough that her shoulders touch, and she slightly bends her upper body and puts her hands together.

“Combat cadets.”

A breath that was hot and moist enough to wet her ears came in with her words.

“Sell her side and smash her face and nails to the point where they go around.”

Dumbfounded and unable to answer her, I fidget with her lower lip with her thumb and forefinger. The light purple nail polish, like her senior’s hair, glistened in the sunlight from her. The first scent she smelled spreads in the wind.

“Then, I might give you a prize, right?”

She went back the way she came, her gun gun.

“It’s dangerous.”

I don’t know what’s inside, so I don’t know what to do. Far from knowing what kind of person Rita-senpai is through today’s meeting, she is only becoming more ambiguous. However, I can be sure that she has no interest in me at all.

Because I am the only heir to Pong, I have taken mindless walks with girls my age on several occasions. When a man and a woman who had no interest in each other met, it was clear what the other was thinking.

Usually, women who talk well and show off their charms first were the ones who didn’t have a single bit of affection for me. They said a sweet goodbye until the moment they parted, and never wrote to me again or asked how I was doing.

On the other hand, the girls I couldn’t even see eye to eye gave me presents on the pretext of my birthday. I sent a reply to all of them one by one. Thanks to this, we also had a relationship where we exchanged New Year’s cards. This is my own secret that even Kite doesn’t know.

“Why are you here?”

After leaving the student council building, I was surprised to see Kite as soon as I turned the corner.

“After looking for a place for you to practice, I was going to buy a bow, but I didn’t know…… I just waited here.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to follow me?”

I was going to find out about the weapon anyway, but I don’t know why he bothered to step forward. Unknowingly, Kite’s voice must have been a bit high, and Kite shrank her body. His expression is bright, as if he knows that I am not genuinely angry.

“Has anyone bothered you while you wait?”

He only smiles vaguely.

“Since I didn’t say anything, everyone said I was an idiot and went away.”

“What do idiots and idiots say they know?”

Since I said harsh words, he tugged at my shoulders and said let’s go buy a bow. Suddenly, I realized that this was not the case and stopped walking. Kite stopped and looked at me as if he was puzzled by my unusual attitude.

“I was angry and cursed.”

“Huh?”

“I hate you, so I’ll try to fix it in the future.”

─I’m sorry, I easily apologized to Rita-senpai, but I was always stingy with you.

“No, hey, yeah…… Are you okay. I’ve heard that I’m an idiot because I’m stupid, but I couldn’t hear it very well.”

I conveyed my feelings with this, so there was no need to be more serious. He nodded his head with a radiant smile enough to fall in love with him.

“But, my brain was so bad I couldn’t understand what you were saying!”

“So you are empty-handed?”

“Yeah, I don’t even know how to choose a string, and it’s all too difficult for me. You have to help.”

Very quietly, he looks up at me and whispers while raising his toes.

“So, teacher, please teach me.”

“Ugh, it’s better to do it alone.”

If you grumble, you immediately change the subject.

“A little while ago, girl, how old are you?”

“I can’t believe it, but I’m fifteen.”

“When you’re gone, she’ll come running to me and eat with me next time. I just did this and ran away!”

“They say they lack social skills even though they are sponsored by the professor. One magic skill is real.”

“I was curious anyway. How is the magic lecture?”

“I’m serious, you won’t understand, let alone progress.”

“I asked if you could make cookies with magic anyway?”

“You bullied the kids with the wrong questions.”

“No, Lia agreed, saying that magic is really useless.”

So, how about taking classes other than magic? It’s the first time I’ve ever made a suggestion like this, so I asked to hear it. These are all lectures offered by the support department. Cross-stitching is not worth learning, and bare-handed gymnastics is not worth learning. By the way, I wondered why she would listen to it, since it was something Kite did a little bit of.

“Your body is flexible, right?”

“Yes, I want to teach you too.”

“If possible, don’t listen to gymnastics.”

“Why?”

─What will men say when they see you? You’re not going to be talking dirty talk all day.

“Just, don’t listen.”

“Yes…… I won’t listen if you don’t like it.”

I asked him if he seemed to be much more innocent than usual. I just laugh from room to room. I guess it made me feel good that I apologized. Even though I knew this kind of kite, I thought it was too bad that I hadn’t matched it yet.

“Oh, I’m nervous about carrying a money bag.”

He hands me something like a salt bag tied around his waist. When I received it, copper coins and silver coins were mixed up.

“You take care of this too.”

“You’re going to leave the money for snacks with me too?”

“Yes, I keep worrying about losing it and it’s uncomfortable.”

I was worried that I couldn’t even leave it in my room, so I asked if my roommate was a thief. I decided not to speak harshly, but I only heard nagging saying that I would do it again. Some noble ladies don’t even know what money is. It can be annoying

No matter how much I push Kite away, for the time being, it seems like we’ll be eating together every day. Every time you eat, you just have to take care of the next meal. I was worried that I would gain weight because there was no one to stop me from eating snacks, but it seems to have worked out.

“Don’t bother me by contacting me instead.”

“Yes…… I get it. Stop nagging me.”

Today’s kite seemed to be happy, twisting her whole body and groaning. It was a strange voice that would make me feel ashamed if anyone heard it.
