Shiver
Suddenly, I felt a chill, as if an ancient monster had marked as its prey, sending shivers down my spine.
That was a close call.
This morning, Evelyn sent a ssage saying she couldnt co with in the carriage, so I left a bit early
Who would have thought the gates of hell would open on the first day of the sester?
Elfrida Carlerea
Also known as JustSayNiceThings
A fervent believer in Elf Eugenics and an extre racial supremacist.
Of course, I knew to separate reality from the concept of the gallery.
But there should be limits.
[Hey, you dark-skinned kid. Don't wander around at night. Seeing only your eyes floating in the dark scared , haha.]
[Ugh, 300 years ago, you lowly creature couldn't even et the eyes of an elf. What do you know?]
[Look at the culinary level of the beast-kin, haha. The at is so undercooked that if you bring it to church, it'll co back to life, haha.]
[To be honest, elves being superior isn't discrimination. It's just a fact.]
I didnt want to be involved with elves who posted such comnts.
Slide
When I opened the door of classroom 2-C, soone was already there.
Her neatly tied black hair and emotionless grey eyes made her look more like a doll than a person.
Usually, when the door opened, people checked to see who was coming in, but Estelle didnt take her eyes off her book, showing no interest.
Hello.
I greeted Estelle as I approached the seat in front of her and sat down, turning my chair.
..
She glanced at briefly, then her gaze returned to her book.
What are you reading?
..
Ignored again.
Glancing at the books title, it was Introduction to Demonology.
I would have started a conversation about it if I had known the book, but unfortunately, I didnt.
Is it interesting?
Youre noisy.
Her first words were a complaint about the noise.
Not a great start, but at least it wasnt a straight go away.
Sorry, sorry. Im just excited to see you. You know , right? Weve been in the sa class for two years now
Slide
As I spoke, the door opened again, and classmates began to enter one by one.
Hey! Ian!
Hello, Delphicia. Youre early.
Hmm Its the first day. Youre early too, Ian?
Delphicia glanced briefly at Estelle, so I rose from my seat and approached her.
Itd be uncomfortable to stay near her.
The conflict between Estelle and Delphicia was buried, not resolved.
Did you dye your hair?
Yeah, um How is it? Does it suit ?
It suits you so well! If I hadnt seen you in the first year, I would have thought you were a natural blonde.
Phew thats a relief But wheres Evelyn? Dont you two always co together?
Ah I was going to, but she said she wasnt feeling well yesterday and told to go ahead.
Oh, is that so? Then, maybe Ian if you dont have anyone to eat lunch with later do you want to join ?
Bang!
At that mont, the door opened with a distinctly rough sound.
Blonde hair that captured attention at a glance, sharp eyes, and a slightly broad forehead.
Her face naturally brought a smile to mine.
Evelyn.
.
When I called her na, Evelyn glanced at briefly and then approached Delphicia without a word.
It seed today was a day for to be ignored.
Hey, Delphicia.
Uh, uh-huh Hi, Evelyn.
What were you talking to Ian about?
Nothing! We didnt talk about anything! Really! Ah, sorry, my friend is calling . I have to go!
Tsk.
As Delphicia hurried away, Evelyn, looking just as usual, clicked her tongue and glared at .
[Posted by ChildhoodFriendAssault] = [Evelyn Marigold]
[Oh my God, what do I do!!][3]
I just wished she wouldnt write such posts in the gallery.
What? Why are you smiling like that?
Just happy to see you after a long ti. You were sick, werent you?
Ha, whatever
Though she seed indifferent, I, an expert in reading Evelyns emotions, could tell.
Right now, Evelyn was desperately trying to suppress her curling lips.
Click
Despite the assigned seating order, Evelyn chose to sit next to , ignoring it.
Thats not your seat.
So?
Move when the owner of the seat cos Oh, hey, Herun. Youre in C class?
Yeah, Ian. Were in the sa class this ti. Even our seats are Oh?.. Evelyn, thats my seat
.
Evelyn silently looked at her own assigned empty seat, responding to Heruns words with nothing.
Ah..! You know, I just realized I prefer a front seat because Im short. Evelyn, shall we switch seats?
Sure.
Th-thats good Lets do that Its better that way.
I shook my head at Evelyns swift acquisition of Heruns seat.
Be a bit nicer.
What did I do? Herun offered to switch.
Yeah, yeah. Youre right.
Whats with that attitude? You dont like sitting next to you?
Of course I do.
Then keep quiet. Hmph!
As I chatted with Evelyn for a while, the classroom gradually filled up as the start ti of the sester neared.
Murmur murmur
Everyone, please take your seats!!
The front door opened, and the professor entered, his walk embodying the word plodding.
Climbing onto a high chair, the professor wrote his na on the blackboard.
[Jamie Felstein]
Im Professor Jamie Felstein, in charge of Class C! My specialty is Elental Magic! I look forward to a great year with you all!!
With the professors self-introduction, as brief as his stature, my second year began.
Lets go.
Since it was the first day of the sester, there were no lectures, and the academy day ended early.
Where to?
What do you an where? Ho, of course. Ive called for the carriage.
Evelyn responded as if it were the most obvious thing, making scratch my cheek.
Ah, Im going to stay a bit longer. I submitted a temporary application to join the library club.
Library club? Why? Since when did you like books enough to join a club?
Evelyns piercing gaze always felt a bit too intense.
Right. I dont like books enough to join a club.
Then why did you apply? Dont tell theres soone you like in the library club?
I had anticipated this kind of interrogation.
And being prepared ant I had a perfect excuse ready.
Youve always wanted to work in the Magic Tower before inheriting the Marigold estate.
Dont change the subject. Why are you bringing that up now?
You might make it, but the Magic Tower is out of reach with my current grades. I thought joining the library club would give more ti to study in the library.
Wait, what what? You now want to go to the Magic Tower with ?
Well, sothing like that.
For the record, sothing like that ant there was only about 20% sincerity in my words.
Snicker
Even without being an expert in reading Evelyns emotions, her lips twisted oddly in a way that was obvious to anyone.
Hm Hmph! Hey what? You following to the Magic Tower? Even for childhood friends, isnt that liking too much?
What are you talking about? You like more.
