chapter 8
8 – Semester (2)⚝
There was silence. With no one to dispute, she spoke her own words.
“Look at the messy interior decoration. Compared to Madonna and combat-side buildings, it looks cheap. Is this just a matter of graduating? What a pride and honor that is. It’s something to be ashamed of just going over even if you’re unfair! Even beasts will be better than you. At least you’re not fooling yourself.”
More than just criticism, everyone was fed up with the venomous remarks. Someone got up I raised my body in repulsion, but I couldn’t speak at the suffocating gaze. When the student council notices it, they sit back.
“Let’s move on for now.”
A senior named Max asked with a suppressed voice.
“Why should I?”
“Because I don’t have to say that in front of the kids who just came in.”
It was a sign that he managed to suppress his anger.
“No. I need to listen What the hell did the student council of the support system do until it got to this point? If the juniors are treated unfairly because of the seniors’ fault, isn’t it all up to the top? Please tell me if you appealed or did it right. If so, this is Heoden’s own problem, so I will make up my mind and protest!”
There is a gloomy silence.
“If you were going to do this, you should have supported the battle.”
Thump——The horsehair head screamed as it kicked the floor.
“Do you think I came here because I wanted to come?”
It was a kind of welcome party, but the atmosphere got messed up. The appearance of the upper class being respected by the lower class was an uncomfortable sight even for me, who had an aversion to power. Kite grabbed me as her stomach twisted and lifted her hips.
“It’s pitiful.”
When I try to stand up, her arm now pulls my side. Stubborn Shaking my head, I told him not to do it under the command of the acting lord. It’s an authority that won’t even eat seeds. I made a promise to Kite.
“I’ll solve it with words.”
“Aren’t you going to fight?”
I said yes and jumped up from my seat. Everyone was staring at me. I took out a notebook from my pocket and recited the important school rules I had written down a few days ago.
“Haden Academy Cadet Rules, Article 4, Article 2.”
“Hey, what are you interfering with?”
“Since this school was founded on the principle of equality, students have equal rights regardless of their status.”
“Baby, what do you want to say?”
“Classmates, regardless of social status, background, or age, communicate in plain language and do not respect each other. However, honorific titles and honours are applied to upper-class students in principle to show respect. On the other hand, seniors can choose to speak respectfully or politely to juniors, but slander or insulting words are strictly prohibited. This is limited to communication only, and does not apply to litigation due to loss or loss.”
My voice, which spread through the brief, sounded somehow bewildered. I asked at Ferku Dai Frau.
“Weren’t you a freshman just like us?”
When I pointed it out in accordance with the rules, only the lips twisted into a smile. While everyone was looking at her, she asked the two seniors in the student council.
“Are you guys offended by talking badly about me?”
Unsatisfied. There was no way to deny that they weren’t the ones who were in a hurry to look after them. In the uncomfortable silence, the ponytailed blond hair shone with an absurd brilliance. Anyone can see that his hair was well-fed and well-grown.
“I don’t see any objections here?”
“Because I am also a classmate, there is no problem talking inappropriately to you.”
We glared at each other. I couldn’t seem to avoid my eyes, so I turned my eyes and looked at the seniors in the student council.
“Seniors, did you feel uncomfortable or unfair while using this building?”
The man was quiet and lonely, and the woman shook her head vigorously. Somehow, the friendly gaze gave me courage.
“No, we were good.”
“Hey, the seniors here are fine, but why are you, a freshman, giving a f*ck?”
I looked around and checked the opinions of my classmates.
“You guys have no complaints either.”
A positive nod spread like a ripple. There was a blazing fire in the ponytail’s eyes. He looks like he’s eager to fight right now, is there anything to be afraid of? It’s not that you can’t beat a girl, so it’s enough to punch a little.
“I don’t know why you insult us by calling us pigs and dogs when everyone says there is no problem. If that’s what you think, there’s nothing you can do about it. But, you can’t understand why the relationship between seniors and juniors is messed up even while breaking school rules?”
Be moderate, Kite pulled my ankle. I was told to stop too. Since I promised, I have no intention of insulting others even by crossing the line. At this point, I want to organize and end quietly. Ferku Dai Frau looked at me. It was a cold, cold look.
“Hey, what is your name?”
“Deman.”
“Tell me straight to the end.”
I took out only the nameplate on the leash and showed it.
“If you follow the school rules, you don’t have to reveal your family name, position, or background. If you don’t have that, don’t you think you can’t talk because you’re anxious?”
I sat down because there was a vacuum that was about to explode. Feruk die Frau, who was staring at me with a sarcastic laugh, muttered as if spitting. The only thing on the tongue about merit admission was that it was the top admission.
─You don’t think you’ll lose even with your skills, do you?
“Demana, you promised!”
“Okay.”
Kite dried up and she just scratched her head. As she kept her mouth shut, her ponytail left its place. Among the student council executives, a female senior smiled at me. She was not in a good mood and only nodded her head. There was nothing to catch an uninvited guest leaving. The atmosphere was friendly and everyone tried to get to know each other by asking how they were doing.
“Did you say Deman?”
I was no exception, so there were some kids approaching me. I didn’t cut it off on purpose, but I also pretended to be friendly. I hit it back because of my temper, but I guess it was because I sympathized with what the ponytail said.
─You shouldn’t be okay with being treated unfairly.
“Yes.”
“I am Rita. I’m in charge of the second year student council. Ah? This is Max!”
After a brief conversation, I was not feeling well so could I go back?
“Then, if you want to ask the student council anytime, come!”
I wanted to go up to the dormitory alone and study without dealing with anyone. I didn’t have the heart to hurt the words or to dig into the uncomfortable truth. I said hello to Rita-senpai and went to pick up Kite. There are no women, and only men gather around to talk. I thought it would look a little weird if I approached and asked to leave.
“Kite, help me plan the lesson.”
“Oh…… Huh! Shall we go?”
It must have been difficult dealing with so many people. Wiping the sweat on my forehead, I came out and finally straightened my shriveled shoulders.
“I have nothing to say, but I keep getting scolded for talking to you!”
“I see.”
“Yes. Thanks to you, I managed to get out.”
Suddenly, I’m grateful that I spoke to you because I felt that way. Let’s say it wasn’t difficult.
“No, you listened to me.”
“Isn’t that what the acting lord ordered?”
“Then have dinner with me!”
“Is this an order?”
“No. Since this is a request, you can refuse it if you want.”
Let’s say no at once.
“Since I don’t want to eat alone, I will have to starve myself for dinner tonight…” … Never mind you.”
“It’s a threat.”
“I was just speaking my mind, right?”
Looking at the coquetry in his tone, he seems to have relaxed a bit. He raised and lowered his heels with wild gestures, so I asked him to go. She ordered something suitable. Kite had potato stew and soufflé cake, and I had chicken soup. He asked if he was going to take a bath, and he said he would too, so he saw him in front of the bathtub.
“Which bathroom do you go to together?”
“I want to write this as a command.”
“You are insignificant, but you abuse your power?”
“Since Selvia is smart, it’s okay for me to be insignificant!”
─She’s a b*tch who doesn’t even call you sister. Don’t be sad because she’s her sister alone.
“Kite, we decided to be less friendly.”
“Today only, huh?”
“Okay. Come early and don’t wait. You’re rushing me too.”
The more she pushes her away, the more obsessed she is. He accepted her personality in moderation. When she returns to the dorm again, this time her roommate looks like she’s been chewing sh*t, so I look at her dumbfounded. I don’t know what the hell I’m dissatisfied with, so I felt a sense of repulsion.
“Seal. I took it for you, so check it out.”
“I have no one to send?”
“If you don’t want to raise your job, see and reply right away.”
I’m in a bad mood, but I got a letter of intent. Her outer cover is black. I wondered what this was when I opened it. There is no content, only the place and time are recorded. I wondered what the purpose of sending it was.
“You can reply saying that you have confirmed it.”
“You don’t even know what it is?”
“It means the sealed letter that came through the supervisory office. Check the signature and ask me who wrote it.”
I wondered why the hell I was, but then I saw an orange band on his forearm and asked.
“Student Council Armband.”
“Ein Kamphund Bernhard,” It says?”
“From now on, don’t pretend to know me, and even if you meet the owner of the seal, don’t report it separately.”
I don’t know the name, so let’s not harm each other by saying that we’ll know it when we meet. First of all, I wrote on the back of the letter that I had confirmed that I had to send a reply, and then put it in the contact box. When I came down with my toiletries, Kite found me and came running. After all, it seems that men I don’t know have been talking to me.
“Again?”
“I didn’t say anything!”
Because he boasts with a proud face, he covers his ears with both hands to say that he didn’t bother you.
“I pretended to be completely dumb. So it was fine Aren’t I great, am I smart?”
─This shows that you are not dumb.
“Did you wait a long time?”
“No, I just came.”
It took a bit of time to break the seal and even sign the confirmation. It’s not a mixed bath anyway, so we should split up soon. When I asked if he had taken care of his toiletries, he opened them up and showed them all. You can even see the perfume and Dalgeoripo. After pretending not to know, seeing you tomorrow is a sad expression.
“How long before you come out?”
“I don’t know. About an hour at most.”
“Okay.”
She said nice and washed up, and Kite, who hadn’t even dried her, was waiting for her. She’s dumbfounded and she makes a gasping sound and she just came out and she just ran into it. She waited for her water droplets to drip from her undried hair.
“If you do this, you will know that it is her crazy b*tch, not dumb.”
“I think I will come to my senses if I eat something warm.”
─Kite Don’t keep clinging to it.
Her body trembled, so she couldn’t bear it and went into the bakery. She buys her a cup of tea called Yujacheong and gives it to her, so he sits down at her table sniffing at her. I quietly opened the booklet and organized the lecture I was about to listen to.
Anyway, these things caught my eye, so I recommended Kite to audition. I sipped tea with a silly expression, so I parted ways and went up to the dormitory.
That night, her roommate called me. She responds in a languid tone, says she’s an asshole, and snores at her again. She was bewildered because her voice was somewhat hilarious.
