chapter 20
#4
Early morning on Tuesday.
Gratitude that the pounding sound didn’t leak out due to the irregular heartbeat, Mew glanced at Ezio, who was sitting on the bench at the tram stop, little by little.
If you are taking the tram at this time, it must be that there is an external liberal arts lecture at 9 am on Tuesday.
Frontier is very wide, so taking the tram at the same time does not necessarily mean that they are taking the same course.
However, on one side, Mu himself wanted to diverge from Ezio, but part of his honest heart was that he wanted to take the same class as Ezio.
This is because during the Larsen Academy, when they were able to be with Ezio, they only met as seniors and juniors, not as classmates.
Of course, Mew valued the relationship very much, but he wanted to have a new experience of taking classes together in the same classroom with Ezio, who had been his senior for the rest of his life.
certainly,
At first, there was such a strange expectation.
But after boarding the tram, without looking back at Mew, seeing Ezio’s back, just silently walking in the opposite direction, Mew bit his lip in a slightly dizzy feeling and stood while holding the handle of the tram.
… … Again, Ezio was uncomfortable with Mew.
It wasn’t that Meu was able to deal with Ezio comfortably. Such a refusal to pay any attention to him was quite tragic for Ezio, who still had him deep in his heart.
I feel sad.
Mu without a word touched the tip of the scabbard with his hand.
Meanwhile, as he felt the gazes of all the unpleasant men, not Ezio, glance up and down Mew, Mew looked back at them one by one with the supremely icy eyes and made a silent threat.
Afterwards, facing Mew’s turbulent momentum, they coughed and turned their heads out the window.
… … But.
On the subject that calmly shakes off the gaze of others, Mew naturally contained Ezio sitting in the distance with his eyes closed in the corner of his field of vision.
The long legs that were comfortably crossed were stretched out. Ezio leaned against the soft seat back and folded his arms, and his strong forearms and big, tendon-tight hands clinging to his uniform gave him a cold reminder that there was no trace of the poor figure of the cute Ezio Cranill from the day before. there was.
Through the gray hair falling from the head that was slightly bowed down, a slender and curved jawline and a sharp nose that showed off my existence to the world could be seen.
Mew had never been interested in the existence of a handsome man in his entire life, but now, Ezio’s sleek appearance is clearly overflowing with destructive power enough to make the heart palpitate just by looking at Mew himself. .
It was.
Even Mew would react like this right now, but what about the girls of Frontier, who are in the midst of their youth, who say that even touching them by mistake makes their hearts pound?
By the time Mew got off at the same stop as Ezio and headed for the building together, the number of girls who had turned to Ezio on their way would arguably easily exceed hundreds.
There were some girls who were banging on the shoulder of the friend next to him and making a fuss to look at him, and there were some girls who stopped and looked at Ezio as if they were really mesmerized.
At the indescribable mysterious sight, Mew’s mind was complicated for many reasons.
For some reason, a corner of my heart is pounding, and a very weak heat is boiling in my chest.
Now Ezio and himself would have nothing to do with each other. As in the past, playful claims of Ezio’s ownership were not permitted at all. … … No, it would have been something I shouldn’t have done in the first place.
Thump, Thump—
Mew did not have the courage to speak to Ezio first, and followed Ezio silently walking down the hallway to the classroom.
Eventually, Mew took the same class as Ezio.
It was a new joy as I had felt it before, but it was impossible for me to just listen to a class together for an hour in the same space and play pranks next to each other as in Mew’s vague imagination.
The reality was very harsh.
Still, Ezio did not give Mew a glance.
I’ll be sitting far away anyway.
It didn’t seem like a very fun time.
I think so,
When I entered the classroom with Ezio.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Ezio and Mew, who were seated in the two remaining seats one after another, were seriously contemplating whether to say hello to each other first in the exceptionally quiet classroom.
#5
— Oh, oh… It’s a real epic class.
— Shall we talk to you after we’re done?
— crazy… The guy next to me is so handsome
— Layla, don’t I almost become a monster when I’m next to him? What kind of person is the doll sitting, how? Seriously, you’re incredibly pretty, aren’t you?
In fact, it is
Our seats were located in the middle of the classroom, so we couldn’t help but stand out if we didn’t want to be seen by other students.
Mew, who sat close to me, and the voices whispering to me, seemed to have nowhere to hide.
okay.
I’m going to take a class, so you can talk to your heart’s content.
However, a minute before the start of class, he softly cursed the professor, who had not yet seen his nose in the classroom, while taking out a white notebook and whispering quietly to Mew, who was turning the pen as usual while taking out a white notebook.
“Are you taking this class too?”
“… … ! Ah, yes… ”
Mew momentarily shrugged her shoulders.
You didn’t know I was going to speak first.
He seemed quite surprised.
Still, it’s a bit strange if the two of us seem too awkward around each other, so I thought we should just say hello.
“I’ll see you here at the same time in the future.”
“Well, that’s right… ?”
“It seems that there are only the two of us in the Epic class. You seem to get a lot of unnecessary attention. There are many people.”
“That, so… … ”
Mew smiled bitterly and repeated the short answer.
At the same time, I am also gradually withdrawing from myself.
nothing
In the past, at such a close distance, Mew would have approached me first, so I had no choice but to laugh bitterly while feeling a new strange feeling.
I feel that way more because I am having a vivid dream.
Rather than bitter… This is also just sad.
It wasn’t really something I started to talk about with her, so I threw in a few more words in moderation and the classroom door opened.
Even the momentary noise was reduced all at once.

Drooling—
A pale-haired professor, with a sad sigh of relief for the viewer, came in and lifted up his glasses to confirm the attendance.
after a while.
“Hmm, I see two Epic class students taking my lecture. This is my honor as a professor at Frontier. Now that I have checked all attendance, let me introduce myself for a moment before the lecture begins… … ”
After confirming that everyone had attended, as expected, orientation began on the direction of the class.
— … By developing the ability to understand aesthetic responsiveness and forms of cultural expression through research on artistic literature, etc., by examining the basic outlines of literature composed of various media in this era, written, auditory, visual, and motional forms The ability of students to understand… …
In front of me, the professor is explaining hard.
If I had started from the official class, I was relieved in my heart that I would not have been able to take notes properly, and I waited quietly for the class to end, listening to Mew, who had been restless for about an hour or so.
#6
what do you mean
It was more boring than I expected.
Looking at the students who were quietly dozing even on the monumental first day of class, it seemed that I wasn’t the only one who thought so… …
Anyway, after finishing the liberal arts class.
I took the tram with Mew and returned to the dormitory.
Perhaps there was nowhere else to go, Mu and I parted in the opposite direction at the tram stop.
In my case, there was a swordsmanship major class that started before lunch, that is, at 11 o’clock.
It was just past 10 o’clock now, so while I had spare time, I thought of doing a short workout as well, so I walked around the dormitory grounds like running around.
And then it was around 10:50.
We headed to the Epic Class Gebra Hall where the swordsmanship major class was held.

Drooling—
Open the classroom door on the first floor.
Inside the spacious classroom, similar in size to the 1st grade gymnasium in Building 3, several training dolls were lined up in a row.
A number of swords that we were supposed to be using were placed on shelves in the corner, and I could see the Epic class students who had arrived before me in the center of the expansive site.
“Hey, Ezio! Are you here!”
Gabriel found me there and waved his hand.
“Hehe, that’s right, Sasha, I don’t know how to use swords, but I did well in registering for the class, right! yes! huh? Don’t you think so too?”
“… … ”
I caught the sight of Sasha Elne with azure, bifurcated hair, which I had seen one day, running around the side of Mew, who was standing on the ground like a piece of wood.
“… … ah.”
and.
Mew, who didn’t budge despite Sasha’s overwhelming occultism, looked back at me as soon as I opened the door and squirmed weakly.
Tuesday is…
You’ve never met Mu more than twice.
Other than that, I could see Aldrie, three unknown male students, and Stella, who was bowing her head with her hands folded towards me. By the way, Stella, why is she treating me with such respect… …

Did Stella also sign up for this lecture?
If you’re surprised, you’re surprised.
Of course, if you look at the case of Gabriel, you can see, but you should never underestimate Stella just because she looks so fragile.
With a shy personality, he was very careful when he behaved, but no one knew if the mood would change drastically when he raised his sword.
Maybe he was stronger than me.
Sure enough, doesn’t Stella have a formidable position of Epic Class 3?
what.
But when I think about it, it was glass twice.
… … Well, I don’t need to say anything now.
We would gradually learn who is strong and who is weak in the Epic class as we spend time together.
anyway.
I was last in.
— Droo… …
After a while, the door to the classroom opened on both sides with a fairly heavy noise, without any additional personnel except me being replenished.
that came from there.
“Hmm, is everyone here?”
He was a little boy much smaller than me.
… …
No, really.
He wasn’t a short adult, he was a very white, supple face, and a youthful look, a boy with ultramarine hair color and an aesthetically pleasing face.
Appearing in a blue uniform, he staggers out in front of us who are confused, raises his gaze slightly, and scans us from the side as if scanning something.
“One, two, three… … nine in total. Well, we’ve all gathered.”
professor… … Right?
It seemed rude to ask that directly, so I kept my mouth shut, and Sasha, who was blinking next to Mew, suddenly raised her hand.
“Hey, Professor!”
“Well? Something?”
The boy turned to Sasha.
Sasha exclaimed cheerfully.
“I think you came to the wrong classroom! I heard that someone who is very tall and handsome here is teaching swordsmanship!”
The boy shook his head as if he had heard it for the first time in his life.
“… … Who said that?”
Sasha scratched her cheek and replied.
“uh… Aren’t swordsman professors usually like that?”
“… … ”
I also had no idea.
The boy burst into laughter as if he wanted to lightly slap him with the palm of his hand.
“Heh heh heh! These new riders say there are a lot of really funny guys, but that seems to be true!”
The boy who was tying up his uniform smirked.
“Even if it looks like this, he is a professor who is officially hired by Frontier. It is called Abel Lioner, who will guide the swordsmanship of your first graders. Just call me Professor Abel. By the way, no matter how long you wait, no other professor will come to this classroom except me, so don’t worry.”
Abel Lioner.
It’s the first name I’ve ever heard of, but for some reason, Mew said, “Ah… ‘ He let out a short sigh.
Abel certainly had the face of a young, young boy, but somehow he looked around us wide with eyes that seemed to contain many years of experience and said.
“Hmm… … I just got it, your level. There are a few more boring guys out there than I thought.”
“… … ! what!”
Sasha was the only one who was offended by those words.
“It’s not us, it’s the professor’s height!”
“Um?”
Abel responds casually.
“… … But aren’t you the one who’s smaller than me? At least that’s how it looks to me. I’m looking down a bit, so I guess you’re right. He looks like a boring guy.”
Gabriel made a squeaking noise from the side.
“Hey, profit… ! I didn’t even look at you!”
There was no denying it, Sasha blushed in disgust, and when Abel immediately looked away from her, she licked her lips and grunted.
… … If possible, I should never have a relationship with Sasha.
For some reason, I must be more tired than Gabriel.
match.
Abel laughed lightly and gave a brief applause.
“Come on— all of you.”
Abel pointed a finger over our shoulder.
“Let’s go back there and grab a sword each. There are different lengths, so you can choose the one you are comfortable with. … … Oh yes.”
Abel wrinkled his robe and said that with his arms crossed, but suddenly looked at Mew and opened his mouth.
“Was it Mu? You use that sword.”
“… Ah yes. professor.”
Mew nodded.
After all, Mew had his own personal sword.
At Abel’s words, we all picked up one of the long and short scabbards that had been placed on the shelf, and after confirming that the swords were being pulled out with a shrill, clear sound, we returned to our place.
“great. Now, I’m starting to look like a prosecutor.”
Abel, who was smiling, suddenly turned to look at me.
For a brief moment, Abel’s eyes met, and soon Abel turned his head again, this time looking towards Mew.
“Hmm.”
Then he seemed to know something.
I shake my head again.
“If everyone is ready to unleash the sword… … First of all, you are the weakest here, and you are the strongest here.”
Abel points to me with one hand.
He pointed to Mew with the other hand.
After that.
Abel was a lowly proclamation.
“Fight each other from now on.”
