Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 Stop that Dude II

"Stop that dude!" someone shouted.

A student ran down the hall along with a large wooden trunk.

A small pile of paper in hand fluttered against the wind while the runner looked around.

_______

Sound of metallic objects colliding against one another sounded at the grass field where two students are fighting against one another.

Conner and Elena clash started for less than 10 minutes but the two are only getting started.

"So, what does question 1 mean?" asked Connor going for a stab.

"You can't even solve that question? That's the easiest one" replied Elena as she redirects that attack and went for a stab herself.

Conner block the attack as well and went for a kick to which she locked it with her arms and throw him to the side.

"....Well, it's boring so I barely listened"

"You're really hopeless at studying"

"Come back here!" a bunch of student voices can be heard behind Conner as the two turned to look at the scene.

A student carrying a large wooden trunk along with a small pile of paper in hand is being chased by a mob of other students.

"...."

"WTF?"

"See you this afternoon, Clara~" said Shin as he leaves the classroom slightly exhausted, leaving Clara who is sitting on the desk with a disheveled look behind, red faints marks can be seen on her neck and collarbone.

Readjusting his tie and straightening his uniform neatly he turned a corner while looking out toward the grassy field where students are relaxing or sparring against one another.

He then bumped into someone, definitely a woman based on his instinct and turned toward the girl in front of him.

Her petite body gave off an impression of a teenager but the glare she's giving prove otherwise.

"Watch where you're going!"

"Oh, sorry, didn't see you there"

'Yeah, right' she grumbled but of course he heard it.

"How about I made it up to you then?"

"...What?"

"I will pay for the meal so just go all out"

"Huh?!", she then noticed that the hand that he lends to help her up is still holding her and quickly shook it off.

"Please, I won't be able to forgive myself bumping and making a cute girl like you hurt like that"

"C-Cute?"

"Yes, you are" he nodded affirming his words.

"....." the girl look at Shin, a weird person who wanted to make up for his mistake.

(Maybe I can tell him off and I can go back to my research)

But looking at his handsome face, she felt a strong feeling of NO.

"No way I'm going to forgive you with just a meal, mister"

"What? I see....you want more huh?"

"Yeah, you will--Mmph?!"

Suddenly she felt something touching her lips and after regaining her focus again she noticed something.

"...Mmph~"

Shin pulled back and look at her eyes gazing deeply into it.

"Is this okay?"

"....."

Hearing no response he kissed her again startling her.

"I-I-It's alright now!!!"

"Hehe, glad to hear that"

(Woahwoahwoah, my heart!!!)

She clutched her chest while looking at the person in front of her.

"...B-Before you k-k-did that to me, I was about to make you my assistant"

"Assistant?"

"Yeah, so what do you say?"

"I'll gladly take it~" replied Shin.

Laura opened the door to her family's house front gate, where a student stood there with a small pile of paper in hand.

"Hello"

"Hello"

"Here's your stuff for today", the student then handed her the small pile of papers.

"Thank you"

"And this trunk is where the other papers are, where do I put them?"

"...This way"

Laura was stunned for a moment when the student brought a trunk for her to see from her POV before gesturing to the small table placed near the front entrance.

"So, this one is from your Magic Studies class, this one from Combat class, Alchemy class, and other classes"

Laura looked at them for a moment before turning toward the student.

"Thank you"

"Mm, no problem" the figure then turned around and headed towards the door.

"..." Laura opened her mouth for a moment but stopped herself, not knowing what to say.

"Oh, right"

"?"

The figure turned around.

"Do you know what classes you have for next week?"

"??"

Days went by with various things happening throughout the Academy before it becomes another everyday life for those that have experienced it daily enough.

Conner and Elena made the grassy field their training ground during their breaks either for fighting physical combat or magic combat, in rare chances do they just sit to study quietly.

Shin and Clara would often be seen together wherever they go in the Academy, such as the cafeteria, classroom, toilet, Academy's forest and outside the Academy, doing PDA daily like some daily login.

It was also noted by the other students that they would see Shin and Alaine Gear a student in the Technology branch alongside him from time to time, with the two going into her lab to work on something hours before exiting together.

A student would often be seen running around the Academy with a small pile of paper in hand while a mob would follow along, the former being a student from a group that is responsible for the order of the Academy and the latter being a group of student secretly known for destroying and messing with study material belonging to Laura Bernard, an infamous student in the Academy due to her involvement.

And in this particular time is Irviel and Florence who was walking by the student/mob group again.

"Oh, hey you two"

"Hello"

"Hey"

Having run past them often they began exchanging greetings to each other, briefly though.

"We got him cornered this time!"

"Yeah!" another mob appeared blocking the left side, leaving the front and right side open, only for it to be walls.

"You have nowhere to run now!"

The student ran through the wall, not crashing through it, but simply pass through it.

"Eh?"

"Ah....We're screwed"

Before anyone could stop themselves the momentum have carried them to collide against the walls and each other.

__________

"Here's your other study materials"

"Thank you"

"And here's a letter from the principal"

"? ...Thank you", Laura accepted it and hesitantly put it away.

Having done the delivery for more than three times already this week, Laura and the student became used to the routine in their life, her parents and the security guard also became used to the student's presence as well.

"Well, have a good weekend"

"Weekend?"

"It's Saturday tomorrow"

"Oh, right..."

"Does the Academy have weekend classes?" asked the student hesitantly as if discovering something that everybody knows.

"Oh, no they don't....I think"

"....."

"I'm sure they don't have that"

"I see....Well, I'll see you next week then"

"Alright, see you next week..." she was about to say something again but...

(What's his name again?)

"???"

"Oh, right, I don't think I told you my name yet, it's..."
