Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

31 – Midterm exam. (4)

It was definitely the midterm exam period, and it seemed like the students’ half-dead expressions were a common sight wherever they went. This may be because tests don’t usually wear away people’s mentality.

I never thought I would see the same things I saw in middle and high school in another world, so for me, this sight itself was just amazing. Is it because it is a world created by copying the world I used to live in?

Like some kind of zombie, they were hanging their heads in front of the desk. Of course the library was crowded.

The surprising thing is that even though it is so crowded, there is no noise at all. They probably know it too. If I talk about it here, I’m going to get angry from a lot of people.

Lina and Asti were completing their exam preparations more smoothly than expected.

To be honest, this is entirely thanks to Prah, because he has always been thinking about how to help Aris and teach her others well.

I, who is the beneficiary of that benefit, is exactly what the people around me are watching.

“Senior, how do you know first-year subjects so well?”

Lina lowered her voice and spoke with her face next to my ear. Her ears tickled.

“In the first place, most of the second-year subjects are continuations of the first-year subjects. “If you don’t know that, you won’t be able to get excellent grades in second-year subjects.”

“Please explain in a very detailed way.”

“…… I am naturally confident in teaching others. And stay away.”

“Because of Aris?”

Suddenly, Asti saw Lina whispering in my ear next to her, and with a stiff smile on her face, she pressed her face to my ear like Lina and asked me.

I nodded. Because it was true to some extent.

“In the past, I used to teach him how to study well. And you both stay away. “It’s a nuisance.”

I lowered my voice and spoke to the two. It certainly feels like the distance between the two has become considerably closer recently. Why are these guys like this?

Could it be that you really fell in love with me?

I chuckled for no reason. That will never happen. Asti comforted me that day in the aftermath of being swept away by my emotions. Aside from that, there were probably some things about me at the time that I couldn’t even open my eyes to see.

In short, it is compassion. Didn’t she nail it in the first place? I didn’t do it because I liked it, I was just swayed by my emotions.

It was difficult to make a mistake. There are many idiots who mistake sympathy for love, but at least I was not one of those people.

I hope that she is an understanding person who will understand me, but that doesn’t mean that she needs to be a lover. Okay. It feels like comrades working together.

Then, suddenly, my eyes landed on Lina. Then why is Lina like that? Why does she cling to me more than necessary?

After thinking about it for a moment, I could vaguely understand the reason.

She came to the academy to chase away her ghost with harsh words, and she probably does it because she can chase it away if she’s around me. The closer your relationship, the longer you can enjoy comfort.

He is quite a handsome guy. If I had been interested in women, I might have fallen for it right away. In the first place, he and I were just in a relationship where we were using each other. I use him as a usable necromancy shuttle, and he uses me as a shuttle to chase away ghosts.

Even for this, I am Nebiros…… All you have to do is ask that guy, who is now your child, to tell you how to chase away her ghost. If that happens, Lina won’t have to cling to me.

In the first place, I didn’t have time to have a romantic relationship with someone.

“Are you finished studying?”

After being lost in thought for a while, Asti asked Rina and me. I nodded, and so did Lina. Since they were excellent guys to begin with, there was no need to teach them anything more. Now all that’s left is constant review and memorization.

This is enough for the written exam, and they will do well in the practical exam as well.

“Then let’s get up. “There’s no need to take up space.”

The two people nodded at what I said.

“Seniors. Do you have any plans after this?”

“No.”

“Yes.”

My answer and Asti’s answer were different. I looked at Asti. What schedule? When I looked at him with that expression, he rolled his eyes at me.

On the other hand, Rina spoke to me with a bright smile on her face.

“Senior, if you don’t have anything scheduled, would you like to go to a cafe with me?”

“Why a cafe again?”

“I want to be in a quiet place. The ghost is still causing trouble. “Maybe he will talk to me again the moment he leaves.”

“Ha… ….”

I reluctantly nodded. Then Asti’s expression became slightly fierce, and she spoke to me.

“Then I want to go too.”

“Yes? Senior Asti has a schedule…….”

“It’s not that important, so we can do it next time.”

“Hmm.”

Lina’s expression sank slightly. No, really, why are they like this? It felt like they were having a cat fight over me. Even though it would never be possible.

Lina became uncomfortable when Asti suddenly decided to go to a cafe together. Before her midterm exam period approached, her attitude toward Astigaprach had strangely changed, and it may not have been just a simple mistake on her part.

It was clear that the distance between the two people had become closer.

She was treated as a cursed child because of the whispers of her ghost, so she was quick to notice. There was no way she wouldn’t notice the subtle changes in the two of them.

‘Is it because we live under the same roof? Whether you know it or not, the distance is close.’

Lina clicked her tongue.

Something clearly happened. Lina was jealous of Asti for no reason. Is she simply living with someone who will chase away the ghosts? No. She wasn’t that.

Because, in her opinion, Prah was a really good person. It was more than just a simple understanding relationship, she felt at ease when she was with him.

From the first time she had a conversation with Prah, when he did not treat her like a crazy person and took care of her convenience, Lina had the idea that this person was a really good person.

He didn’t ask her this or that, and she didn’t even think about doing anything because of her appearance. He just saw her as she was. When she said she was haunted by a ghost, most people…… Even the majority of humans, including her priests, harbored dark intentions toward her.

But he wasn’t like that. He just listened to her story and did his best to make her feel at ease. Although his good intentions were insignificant to him, they meant a lot to Lina.

I wonder why someone like that would commit such a heinous act, but it’s not like I don’t understand it. Each person has their own desires. Lina It’s as if she made a contract with the devil, Nea, to cast out the ghosts…… He also probably wanted someone named Aris Winslet.

And you must have been frustrated. Just like she did.

When there is no longer any hope, people have no choice but to make extreme choices. The result of that choice would have been attempted rape.

Honestly, Lina felt a little fortunate. Because Aris Winslet was away from him, it occurred to her that Lina could have hooked up with him.

At first she wanted to stay by his side just for comfort. But even though it is only for a short time…… The way he showed her gave her some confidence.

She was confident that it was okay to be close to this person.

If you think about it, Rina couldn’t help but miss the warmth of others.

Regardless of a simple relationship between a man and a woman, a person’s life is enriched just by having someone he can rely on. Lina had never had such a being before, but she hoped that if a new one appeared, it would be her Prah.

So, she grabbed Prach’s arm as he headed toward the cafe.

“…… Why do you like being so clingy?”

“hehehe. “It’s a secret.”

Lina laughed, and Asti looked at her a little disapprovingly, but she didn’t really stop her. She just gently grabbed Prach’s sleeve from the other side of her.

Then Prah’s expression appeared perplexed. For some reason, I liked seeing that expression. The warm sunlight-like eyes contained kindness without knowing it, and it was nice just to look at them.

‘Maybe I’ll fall in love with this soon.’

Thinking like that without realizing it, Lina clung even more to Prah’s arm like a cat.

“Hey, it’s hot. “Stay away from both of you.”

“I don’t like it?”

“I don’t like it.”

Also, in times like this, the sum matches well. Lina glanced at Asti. At first she thought she was just timid, but she wasn’t actually timid. Maybe she is smarter than herself.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Ahahahaha. “It’s nothing~”

When Asti glanced at her and asked, Lina smiled and answered that it was nothing.

“No, I’m hot whether you like it or not… ….”

Prach even made a sound of pain, but the two never let go of his arm and sleeve and headed to the cafe. Of course, it was natural that all the attention around them was focused on them.

‘Maybe a rumor will spread. There is a rumor that a gloomy girl in first grade and a gloomy girl in second grade like Prah.’

If that happens, will Prah’s tastes be in gloomy girls?

Suddenly a thought occurred to Lina, and a quite pleasant smile appeared on her lips.
