Academy Munchkin Enslaved

32 – You crazy b*tch

About 2 seconds have passed since the test started.

Although Ian’s thought acceleration was far worse than Eri’s, she had already completed all of the given calculations.

‘I can’t even do this?’

Therefore, Eri must have invested much more time in calculations than herself.

But from the look on her face, which was full of bewilderment, it was clear that she hadn’t finished the calculation.

‘… I can’t even do this.’

She didn’t think that, no matter how Ian was, she lacked Eri’s skills, so she couldn’t even do arithmetic to this extent.

Either I was nervous because it was just a test, or my thoughts got twisted due to a series of mistakes and I fell into the wrong path for a long time.

Ian also had the experience of not being able to calculate an easy problem if mistakes continued amid tension, so I roughly expected Eri to be in that situation as well.

Of course, she couldn’t help but feel pathetic.

‘It can’t be helped. It’s an expedient, but… ‘

Ian closed her eyes and quickly visualized the arithmetic expression for Eri’s part in her mind.

Using mana, he implemented it in her head, just like writing an arithmetic equation on a chalkboard called Accident.

And while maintaining the form of that mana, at the same time calculating vision sharing magic.

As it is, Eri shared the vision she was imagining.

He gave me the correct answer.

-Copy.

The time it took to get there is about 0.57 Seconds in reality.

With the remaining 0.43 Seconds, it should have been possible to flow mana according to the arithmetic formula that was already accurately informed.

And the moment the three seconds arrived exactly as promised,

Hwaak-

As expected, Eri finished her operation just in time and her magic was cast normally.

Judging from the blunt but satisfied look on the examiner’s face, it seemed that the test score was quite high.

That’s right, 3 seconds was the shortest calculation time possible because it was Ian, and the magic was also perfectly implemented.

If Ian hadn’t taken over the calculations for the difficult part, it would have taken longer.

Actually, other cadets often failed calculations in the test or took too long.

‘Well, as long as the results are good.’

Anyway, Eri was forced to interact because of the exam.

Because Ian passed the test well, Ian no longer had anything to do with Eri,

So I left Eri, who was standing in the test room with a blank expression, and turned around and left the test room by herself.

“Hey, there… !”

I think I finished the test safely.

Ian walked away thinking that he was no longer a slave and he should spend his time comfortably without worrying right now, but Eri ran after him after a while and grabbed Ian.

“… Why.”

Ian turned around as if he was annoyed and looked down at Eri expressionlessly.

Wow, was it originally this big… ?’

She came running and grabbed her, but Eri couldn’t speak.

I don’t know what to say, because Ian’s size, facing him directly, felt too big.

Maybe it was because he thought of him as a slave lower than himself, and finally looked at him from a low position where he was equal, no, helped by him.

The feeling of being overwhelmed by him for some reason made Eri unconsciously feel as if her stomach was rumbling.

Ian’s insensitive eyes somehow made him shrink, but strangely, he didn’t hate the pressure.

“That, that, that, that… therefore… !”

Eri herself didn’t know why she ran after Ian.

She just stood there blankly after the exam. Following the examiner’s guidance, she forcibly came out of the exam hall. Afterwards, seeing Ian’s back as he was already walking away, she just thought to chase after him.

Once she was caught, she had to say something, but the words didn’t come out.

“If you have nothing to say, go.”

“Wait a minute! Go, don’t go, for now… “

She may have been trying to apologize for what happened during the subjugation festival.

In Eri’s way of thinking, it was just an act to have Ian, but anyway, that was actually an act that threatened Ian’s life.

She’s Eri.

But she does. She readily admits her fault and asks for her forgiveness?

That was also impossible for Eri.

Eri she didn’t think she did anything wrong, but she understood that it was Ian’s detrimental behavior.

But Eri couldn’t admit her own fault.

She didn’t allow that because her high self-esteem wouldn’t allow it, and she didn’t have the mentality that she had to tell herself she was wrong.

She did not have the social ability to find the correct answer in front of the so-called ‘situation where you have to bow first’, which is the first time she encounters it.

“Ha… “

Then she had to say thank you for helping me with the test, which was also impossible.

She began to feel that her body was not, but she still considered Eri her Ian a lower slave than herself.

From noble mtl dot com

Her pride would never allow her to say thank you to such a slave (that was).

“That, that, that… therefore… “

This situation unfolded thanks to Eri’s wrong way of thinking.

The situation was frustrating for both Eri and her Ian.

Ian let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth first.

“Hey. Eri.”

“Ugh, ugh? Huh?”

Even as her Ian, it wasn’t like she had no thoughts about Eri.

After being in the same class, he too has seen Eri keep avoiding him.

Although Eri struggled to hide her emotions, Eri was quite transparent, so her Ian could sense that she was deliberately avoiding him out of discomfort.

Actually, Ian wasn’t just disgusted with Eri.

She

She, of course, can’t forgive her for doing such a thing to get herself eliminated from her subjugation system.

She honestly still didn’t understand why, but she thought she overdid her reaction too.

Still, she grabbed her by the collar and slapped her on the cheek and cursed a little too much.

At the time of seeing it for the first time, Eri’s bewildered, wounded expression bothered him, and so did Ian.

She also wore her scroll with that look on her face and voluntarily dropped out, so Ian’s heart wasn’t cold enough for her to completely hate that look.

‘… It’s still hateful, but I, an adult, have to tell you first.’

“… In that case, just say thank you.”

Took

“Eh, eh…” ?”

Ian said while patting Eri’s head once with her big hand.

If you get help, just say thank you. That’s what it meant.

In the test, it meant that she didn’t have to be so embarrassed that she was helped by her former slave.

Ian took care of himself because he felt sorry for Eri who couldn’t do this or that.

“Just say thank you. I should have done well on the test anyway.”

“Ah, ah, ugh… huh… “

Eri was momentarily broken by Ian’s unexpected action.

Seeing Ian’s kind expression for the first time. Of course, his expression was still mixed with an annoying look at Eri.

His big hands that completely covered his head and the soft, unartificial smell of flesh that came from his body. And warm warmth.

All of that momentarily approached Eri, and in an instant, Eri’s ears turned red.

“That, that, that… And then… !”

Maybe it was because the emotional circuit got weird.

Eri even spit out the subject of the subjugation system that she had been thinking about.

But of course, she couldn’t lead to a proper apology.

But Ian, who already had similar thoughts, quickly realized what she was about to say.

“That’s all you need to say sorry.”

“Ugh, ugh… ?”

“Try it. I’m sorry.”

“Mi, Mi, Mi… “

Ian’s intentions matched exactly what Eri wanted, but she was Eri Weiss.

She was a girl from a rich family who had never bowed her head to anyone in her entire life.

“I’m sorry. Because you can say Try it.”

“Mi, Mi, Mi… !”

Knowing her personality to some extent, her Ian showed her patience and waited for her.

It was visible that Eri was working hard, and it was because she didn’t feel bad about breaking her high self-esteem.

Ian’s expression of an apology was more friendly than anything Eri had ever seen, so her face grew redder and redder.

Of course, considering Ian’s usual personality, this wasn’t even friendly. Anyway, it was the first time Eri felt humiliation that wasn’t bad.

“Mi, Mi, Mi, Mi… ! Mi… Mimi… “

Eri couldn’t take her eyes off Ian’s pupils, who were looking at her.

My neck hurt a little from looking up at the tall man, but my eyes were still on his face.

His pretty, manly face that needs no further description.

He must have been a slave, but why is his skin so white and fine?

I was a slave, but why did my body smell so good? Also, why are you so kind to yourself all of a sudden?

Unbeknownst to Eri, her head was filled with her thoughts about her Ian, and eventually Eri’s reddened face exploded.

Ian’s face was so harmful because he kept eye contact for a long time.

“Ha… Sorry. You can say that. Try it.”

“Mi, Mi, Mi… “

“Yes. Sorry.”

“Mi, Mi… !”

Yes, just close your eyes and say it just once.

Isn’t it difficult to say?

Eri, determined to spit out those three words that had been stuck in her throat, clenched her fists, and she lowered her reddened face to the floor and closed her eyes tightly.

As if it was just before declaring something great.

In the end, the words that were in her heart forced Eri’s throat and came out.

“Mi, crazy bastard!!!!”

“Ah… ?”

But in the end, what came out was such a funny and cute insult.

In the first place, there were no words of apology in Eri’s heart.

‘Ugh, uh… ! I didn’t mean to say this!’

It was completely different from what I thought, but it was already irreversible.

After squeezing out and screaming, Eri eventually couldn’t stand it and turned around and ran away at high speed.

-Mo, I don’t know!!!

She screamed so loudly that it filled her entire hallway.

She sped away as if she had accelerated her run.

“Heh, heh heh… “

Ian let out a blank laugh as he stared at Eri’s back.

She didn’t even think she would be able to apologize properly in the first place.

She was just trying to teach me a little bit because she showed a little different side of me for the first time.

In the end, an apology to Eri was impossible.

“What is it?”

But it didn’t make her feel bad because she was more like Eri.

No, rather than before, her courage to express her emotions seemed a bit peculiar.

Even though she was cursed, she strangely meant that she wasn’t in a bad mood.

She said that because she was an Eri-like apple.

Even so, it seemed that there would be nothing to think positively of Eri, but

Since then she doesn’t seem to be avoiding herself or anything like she doesn’t fit in like she used to.

That’s what Ian thought.

“Quaaa!”

That night Eri kicked off the blanket in her bed for a while.
