Chapter 270 – Chaos In The Academy (part 1)
Zoemi woke up in a seemingly empty unfamiliar room, laying on an unfamiliar couch.
"…hmm… oww…! Oh…"
At first, he didn't rember what has happened but then a wave of pain brought it all back.
"Why I got no mana from Raseriat…?"
The black-haired attendant furrowed his brows and complained while lifting his body up to a more comfortable position.
"Raseriat? Who's that I thought that the murderer's na was Ludier Galamroze or sothing?"
"HUH…!?"
Zoemi flinched and looked around, slightly panicked, when he heard soone's voice.
He ended up noticing a unique shadow a few feet away from him, and once he propped himself a bit higher, he saw a similar couch to the one he was laying at.
The heroine was occupying it while assuming a slovenly and extrely unladylike position…
…while holding onto a shadow plush bear that the black-haired attendant has given her before…
"' Sup?"
Without getting up, she only raised the bear and propped one of its arms up in a greeting towards the stunned boy.
"Bu-Burushi…? What are you doing here? You should be resting!"
Zoemi shook off the initial shock and asked in confusion while making sure that they are alone.
"Nnn? Oh, believe , I was trying, but then I was carried here – by that ungrateful hag who should be your grandmother – to try and heal Xeonith. Could you believe that?"
The blond girl scoffed while continuing to use the ber to convey her own movent.
"WHAT!?"
"Exactly. Can you believe the guts of that old hag, she was there where I told everything that happened to to teacher Rokiana, but still had the audacity to bring here to heal that fucking animal!?"
Satisfied by the boy's shock and appalled shout, the heroine breathed out and shook her head.
"Sounds like a selfish noble alright – apparently that's also an accurate description of the mbers of the main branch of the Auequas family. They disinherited my father for adopting ."
Although Zoemi knew that the question wasn't ant to be answered, he did so anyway to let Burushi know it was okay to badmouth them to her heart content.
"..alright, but could you explain to what do you an by 'heal Xeonith', I might have passed out but I swear I heard him squeal when a super strong ice spell turned him into a skewer. That must have killed hi…"
"Nah."
Zoemi hurriedly started speaking about another part that interested him greatly but the heroine cut him off.
"Huh!?"
The black-haired boy raised his brows and leaned back in shock.
"Nah."
The heroine just shrugged her shoulders one more ti in response…
"…"
…leaving Zoemi speechless…
"That utter piece of the filthiest trash sohow survived though whatever you saw or heard and ended up in a critical condition. Don't ask how he didn't die from the shock, or the blood loss, my only guess is that the cold from the ice magic did sothing about that, or maybe he was just that tough. I don't give a damn, the important part is that I was dragged out of my room to heal him up. So I did. I never expected to get a chance for getting that repugnant monster so soon."
She sounded indifferent and almost bored and it made Zoemi even more confused.
But if what she was saying was true then…!
"You totally stole the kill, didn't you?"
"Wha…? PFFFFFT…! Ahahaha!"
The black-haired boy gasped in fake disbelief and make the blond-haired girl laugh.
"No, no – that was cooperation, a kill secure if you will… Still, we shouldn't be too loud, soone might be at the door. The teachers took the corpse and left. I appreciate not being in the sa room as that filth, alive or not, but still, I'm not sure what they plan to do. As long as it won't be so bullshit resurrection magic – I don't care. They can feed him to the dogs or toss him in so nearby ditch or whatever."
The heroine just shrugged her shoulders dismissively.
"True, I feel the sa. Hey, Burushi? Sorry for asking a weird question, but are we still in the Academy?"
Zoemi nodded and asked.
"Of course, we are in the Academy. You of all people don't know this room? It's the room for the servants to rest!"
The heroine scoffed and waved her hand.
"That makes sense – I never used it because the only tis when servants can co here is when students have lectures."
Zoemi tilted his head to the side looking around once more and nodded as his expression turned indifferent.
The two of them stopped talking and just kept laying on their couches in silence for a few minutes.
"Do you know what happened to sir Ludier?"
Still, the black-haired attendant ended asking, breaking the silence.
"Nope. Don't have a clue… SIR Ludier? Damn, how close did you get with him, playboy?"
The heroine shook the bear but then she flinched and tilted the toy's head to the side, questioningly.
"He wanted to kill Xeonith to get back at his father, I wanted to kill that bastard because of what he did to my friend. We found a common interest – sir Ludier is much more reasonable and nice than they portrayed him in the ga."
Zoemi shrugged his shoulder and explained with a shrug.
"So you are not denying that you are a playboy?"
"…"
Burushi snickered and made the toy put its hand to its mouth.
"Burushi, tell . Is this how you normally act, you know, while you're not mirroring the heroine from the ga?"
In response to that jab, Zoemi frowned and asked with a disappointed sigh.
"Pffft…! Nah! It's just that I used a powerful healing spell on you right before you woke up, so I spent, like, most of the mana I had recovered – I'm right back in the state of mana depletion!"
The heroine laughed and declared proudly.
"Does that an that you're high?"
"Like a kite!"
The two of them chuckled.
"How are you feeling though? Don't you need to heal you just in case too?"
The black-haired boy sat upright and asked, looking at the girl sprawled on the other couch.
"I'm fine, seriously – wouldn't be healing others if I required help myself. Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it."
Burushi ended up moving around and ended up facing the black-haired boy while tightly hugging the very fortunate shadow bear.
"I've already healed myself earlier too, I still feel like shit though. I guess that all that happened today isn't sothing I can just brush off… I don't know what to feel about finishing off Xeonith myself though. I an – he one hundred percent deserved it but…No matter what shit it was, life is a life. And I'm a healer and all…"
The blond girl smiled weakly and looked down before raising her head again and making eye contact with Zoemi.
"…"
The black-haired boy stayed silent for a bit.
"Aren't you going to tell that it's okay to be selfish and that personally, you prefer that trait in others?"
Burushi ended up raising the plush bear up to her chin and burrowed her face in it so that only her eyes remained visible.
"What brought you to that conclusion?"
The black-haired boy's face brightened and he asked, raising his brow.
"Well… considering your choice in waifus, that's the logical assumption, don't you think?"
"My choice in a WHAT…?!"
*click*
"…!"
"…"
The two reincarnated humans bickered playfully when suddenly the door opened, making them stop and look over at whoever was coming in…
…or rather at everyone who was coming in…
"Student Auequas, you are awake – good. Co with us."
The red-haired middle-aged teacher, Ikarweth, standing in front of a group of other teachers, called out to the black-haired boy.
——–
"…so… I guess it's safe to assu that it's okay for to go back to my room…?"
Burushi looked around awkwardly, asking no one in particular since with Zoemi taken away by the teachers who knows where she was left all to herself.
"What do you think? You popped up from my shadow right after the teachers got distracted with the corpse of that filth, so you should be aware to so degree…"
She ended up turning the shadow plush bear and asked it with a serious expression, but the toy remained mute.
*SLAM*
"…?"
The next mont the door flew off its hinges and ramd into the opposite wall and a dark-haired girl glowing with intense green enchantnt showed up, clearly looking for sothing.
"Lady Miriette, hello~"
"Eh…? Ah, um… hello, miss Burushi…"
The blond girl raised the plush bear hand as a greeting to her too, making the dark-haired girl confused for a mont.
"If it's Zoemi that you are looking for, you are a little late – teachers took him a few minutes ago. I don't know why or where."
Burushi ended up using the bear's arm one more ti to point at the door.
"What?! Wh…?! Ah, I see… thank you regardless – I will go look for him."
Miriette flinched and look at the blond girl in confusion, but ended up nodding and stord right out of the room as fast as she get in.
"Well then… back to my room I guess?"
Burushi shrugged her shoulders and stood up while holding the bear tightly.
