Chapter 418 137 - Back to the Aspakeony Academy (part 9)

"Maybe it's just someone who looks similar...?"
A red-haired girl with sharp eyes gulped down her saliva and leaned in to murmur to her green-haired friend.
"Thank you, miss Burushi. If you be so kind now."
But the next moment that doubt was cleared when Zoemi straightened his back and looked at the blond girl with a soft smile, nodded, and then offered her his hand.
"I don't feel all too well so I would like to ask for a check-up, please."
"!!!"
"!!!"
He added with a smile that made some of the unprepared pure-hearted students get quite hot in their faces.
"Of course, my lord. Private visit."
The blond heroine nodded without missing a beat and went straight for her most accurate spell.
"Nothing wrong aside from the abundance of overflowing mana... Are you nauseous again? Should I go and get you something lighter to eat?"
"..."
Burushi asked without letting go of Zoemi's hand – which honestly made Miriette's brows furrow, yet she said nothing.
"It should be fine. I kind of get used to it already."
The black-haired boy waved his other hand dismissively while reaching for the cutlery with his other one.
"Did you have time to eat? Sit down and grab a bite."
Zoemi added in a casual voice, before realizing that even if he said so, his desk had only one chair by it, making the proposition rather suggestive – especially that many other students – Mireitte and Horeo included – were looking at the boy's lap as if expecting that to be a valid place.
Zoemi wasn't blind and upon checking where the gazes of many of his classmates are focusing, his face became grim, as that definitely wasn't what he was suggesting.
It especially angered him since he saw how uncomfortable Burushi got because of the misunderstanding too.
"Miss Helterose. Fetch me your chair."
"?!?!?!"
...so he leaned to the side, making eye contact with the sharp-eyed red-haired girl, and called out to her, causing her to flinch and stare back at him wide-eyed.
"E-excuse me...?"
The red-haired girl who together with Sifra Ralia and Senria Parrats – of whom only the green-haired Senria was still attending the Aspakeony Academy as Sifra was taken out of the Academy and then disinherited by her own family – for placing a false **** charge on Zoemi in hopes of getting him expelled.
"I request your chair. Politely, for the time being."
Zoemi explained, reaching for his crystal cane without breaking the eye contact with the red-haired girl.
"...!"
Young miss Helterose bit her lips before hurriedly looking around for some support – but anyone she tried to look at was facing away – even her best friend Senria and young lord Grazio...!
"F-fine...! Senria and I were going to the cafeteria anyway!"
The red-haired girl became pale and didn't dare to pick up a fight with the unpredictable supposedly evil young lord of the Banemor family – who already had enough reason to put her on his shit list.
"Thank you, I appreciate your cooperation and look forward to our future endeavors."
The red-haired girl was so shaken that she indeed brought the char to the black-haired boy's desk – for which he thanked her in probably one of the most threatening tones that she had ever heard in her life.
Although... truth be told, the words he had chosen to use were also kind of... suspicious... to say the least.
"Wh-whatever...!"
Young lady Helterose wanted nothing more than to get away from the threatening boy so she only shrugged her shoulders and walked to the door as fast as she could, slowing down only to grab her green-haired friend before leaving.
"You people have no shame, honor, or pride. That's why none of you will be able to help your friends and loved ones in case someone will try to slander them, ruining their reputation. And it was so easy to do something. I merely threatened the headmaster and the ban on entry magically disappeared. But sure. Hold on to your pathetic justice. Miss Burushi, have a seat."
Zoemi ended up sitting back down without actually grabbing the crystal cane and declared in an ice-cold voice.
Although it sounded like he was trying to keep things kind of vague, mentioning threatening a headmaster to remove a ban on entry when someone who was previously expelled was right by his side was as obvious as it could get.
After all – the ones expelled from the Aspaekony Academy would never be allowed to step inside its walls under any circumstances.
----
"...what in the world is going on...?! Miriette...! Were... were we wrong in thinking that Zoemi is only acting like that to make himself a scapegoat...?! Because with that last part he sure did sound as if he directly hated me."
Horeo gulped down his saliva and muttered to the stunned dark-haired girl right next to him.
"I... am not sure..."
Miriette breathed out in relief – although it really did seem like Zoemi was just doing things without any plan whatsoever, he was still as serious as ever about indecent things, so it seemed like she didn't have to be on guard all that much.
"He seems to be trying to keep up being scary while also making sure that people wouldn't try to mess with Burushi. By saying that he managed to threaten the headmaster into complying with his will suggests that he... eh...?!"
"...!"
"!!!"
Mireitte was muttering under her breath before suddenly flinching – she then straightened her back and looked vacantly into the distance as her eyes widened, and every single other wind magician in the classroom acted the same way!
"...what is it...?"
Horeo lanced between all the wind magicians and asked cautiously.
He wasn't too bothered, since if it was a real emergency it wouldn't be the wind magicians that would get notified first – but nonetheless, something was going on...
------
"(Master! Wind magicians are sharing the information about you winning a duel against four dozen of students!)"
"(They do!)"
Zoemi's sentinels called out in excitement which suggested that it wasn't actually being shared in a negative light.
|Really? What are they saying?|
The black-haired boy raised his brows while casually eating his portion after sharing the food with the timid blond-haired heroine.
