chapter 6
6 – Unexpected (1)
It was just a moment ago that Kyle heard the news about Lucy.
As usual, he was just swinging his sword in place, with his feet planted on the ground like tree roots.
Her feet, which were trampled on by Adele, are not yet well, so she sometimes feels pain, but it was a time when she was stubbornly concentrating on training.
“Hey, Kyle!”
Her A classmate, Chiron, who ran with a hasty face caught her breath in front of Kyle.
“Why is that?”
Kyle stopped swinging his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, only then did he realize that Lucy was not on the bench.
Normally, she would be by her side watching her practice and studying, but she didn’t think it was strange that she went to the bathroom.
“Lucy…… !”
She knew something was wrong with her when she saw Chiron saying her name with the look of a doctor announcing death.
“What, what happened to Lucy?!”
She casually threw her precious sword on the ground and pressed her answer with both hands on his shoulders.
She replied as Chiron frowned in pain, caught in her two grips with her power.
“Adele took Lucy who was covered in blood…….”
“What do you mean by that? Why is Lucy covered in blood? Where did Adele take Lucy?!”
“I don’t know the details. She was just passing by and saw Adele carrying her Lucy to her infirmary, and she came to inform you right away.”
As soon as he heard her words, Kyle rolled his eyes at her, picked up her sword, and ran toward her infirmary like a raging bull.
“Heo Eok, Heo Eok… ….”
He sprinted at full speed before his rapid breathing from swinging his sword even calmed down.
Because of that, the scenery in her field of view became blurry as if she was submerged in water, but she ran into something she couldn’t tell whether it was a person or a tree, but she didn’t care and ran.
She arrived at the building where the infirmary was located, and squeezed through the crowd of students leaving school in threes and threes to find another infirmary.
Drurluk, boom!
I violently opened the door to the infirmary with a notice to be quiet. She was able to spot Adele as she was about to leave the infirmary.
“Adele, you bastard…… !”
Kyle lost her temper and rushed at Adele, grabbing him by the collar.
In spite of his sudden action, Adele just looked down at Kyle with an expressionless face.
It was a look of disregard, as if a guy like you wasn’t worth dealing with.
“What did you do to Lucy? Why is Lucy so bloody that she was transferred to you?!”
“… ….”
Adele slapped Kyle’s hand, which was holding onto his collar, with the palm of his hand as if chasing away an insect. Then, as he straightened his ruined clothes, he opened his clinging mouth.
“Is there any reason for me to inform you of that?”
Because of what you did, your childhood friend, Lucy, tried to sacrifice herself.
Should I tell you that fact?
She was Adele, who was worried for a moment, but if it was Lucy, she wouldn’t want to know about it, so she replied.
“Because you would!”
It was an unfounded statement.
That was almost forced.
But Adele snorted without a hint of displeasure.
“You are very confident without any evidence.”
Adele took a step closer to Kyle.
Slightly taller Adele looking down at him.
Kyle, who was glaring at him with only her eyes rolling, didn’t know the reason for his disappointing look, but she didn’t even want to know.
Anyway, Kyle thought that there was no need for evidence to accuse Adele of being the culprit.
I wasn’t blindly suspicious because it was Adele, but I was certain because it was Adele whenever I looked for the culprit.
However, this time, Kyle himself was unaware of the fact that his confidence had gone astray.
“If.”
Close enough for her chest to hit, Adele looked down at Kyle and opened her mouth.
“Would you believe me if I said I saved Lucy from being bullied by her classmates?”
“You must be the classmate who bullied Lucy.”
Answer without hesitation.
As if she had expected the answer, it was Adele’s barely audible little sneer that came right back.
“You pitiful bastard. There is no need for me to tell you.”
I won’t believe you even if I tell you the truth.
It was hard to see that this was all Kyle’s fault.
Because of the karma that Adele has accumulated over the years, she gave Kyle such room for doubt.
So she doesn’t take much offense at blindly denying her own words and accusing her of being the culprit.
Just.
“Is that why you are just grabbing me by the collar and threatening me?”
His reaction after entering the infirmary was disappointing.
“What?”
Awesome.
At that, Kyle gnashed his teeth.
She glared at Adele with her eyes wide open and clenched her fists as if they would blow her at any moment.
The bloody fists were trembling.
“If you came running because you were worried about Lucy, shouldn’t you check Lucy’s condition first?”
Ignoring Kyle’s reaction, which was about to explode at any moment, Adele gently pushed his chest with one finger.
It was only lightly pushed, but Kyle’s body was pushed as if it would fall over.
It was because I was unexpectedly hit by Adele’s words.
“If you checked Lucy’s condition and grabbed me by the collar, you wouldn’t know.
His words brought back memories, and Kyle felt as though he had hit her in the head with her hammer.
The first thing I did when I ran to the infirmary after hearing the news from Chiron…… As Adele said, it wasn’t to check Lucy’s condition.
And that’s exactly what made Adele so disappointed in Kyle.
I can just ignore the doubts and criticism towards myself, but it was for that reason that I stopped and dealt with him.
“Isn’t it wrong to prioritize? You didn’t come here because you were worried about Lucy, did you just want to be angry with me in the name of Lucy?”
The gaze, which was almost identical, was now Adele looking down at Kyle one-sidedly.
It was because Kyle lowered her head while muttering to himself as if to make an excuse for Adele’s question.
‘I wonder if this is enough.’
It would be nice if Kyle cared more about Lucy in the future.
In that case, a situation like today could be prevented, and your relationship with Lucy would be better.
Adele, who was willing to play the villain for that, was about to pat him on the shoulder with the intention of going back.
“Where are you going?”
However, as Kyle lowered her head, her outstretched hand grabbed Adele’s arm.
His calloused, rugged hands from swinging the sword all day gripped his arms to such an extent that they left marks on his skin.
“As you said, if you check Lucy’s condition, there’s still something to talk about.”
Kyle raised her head.
Although she didn’t check Lucy’s condition first, she looked like she wouldn’t forget to punish the guy who did it.
It was as good as that spirit, but not when I liked it.
If Kyle checks on Lucy’s condition, she will definitely go blind and run after her without thinking.
Although he has an excellent body and ability, facing Kyle in a situation where he has not yet adapted is the same as saying he will be defeated unilaterally.
It’s not something that can be done with mental strength.
“… ….”
I tried to remove the hand holding my arm, but the strength of my grip was such that it reminded me of a gorilla.
He frowned at the pain that his arm was about to be ripped off, but for others to see, his expression was contorted with anger at the person who was rude to him.
Unintentionally, an atmosphere was created in this infirmary where a fight could happen at any moment.
“… ….”
“… ….”
Leave it because it hurts. A weak voice like Adele doesn’t come out of his mouth. Adele looks at Kyle with frowning eyes, and Kyle glares at him.
When there is tension between the two.
Pair.
The sound of applause from the bed covered by the curtain.
“How about quitting?”
The voice I heard was benevolent in itself.
When the eyes of the two turned to the source of the sound, the owner of the voice was revealed as the curtain was drawn.
“This is an infirmary for patients to rest. It’s a place where you shouldn’t do anything violent like punching.”
A silver-haired woman sitting on a bed with her hands folded over her legs.
The wheelchair peeking through her curtains made her aware that her mobility was inconvenient, and at the same time, it was also an object that allowed us to guess who she was and who she really was.
“Collock, heheheum. If you don’t want to quit, then there’s nothing you can do about it. I will use my position to give orders.”
A person who can afford to do that even with Adele Heights in front of him.
An existence whose status is recognized as heterogeneous even in the academy, which does not discriminate against status.
At the same time, she appears as one of Kyle’s heroines in the original academy’s strongest swordsman.
Saint Sylvia of the Holy Land with tens of millions of believers.
Seeing her, her Adele and Kyle’s faces went bad.
Because Kyle had the unforgivable Adele in front of her, and she, who had the irresistible power, told him to stop.
In the case of Adele.
‘Ha, I tried not to get involved…….’
Because she was involved in the meeting between Kyle and Sylvia, who should not have met right now.
It was also because she met the heroine right away, putting her promise that she would not get involved with the heroine to shame.
“But…… !”
Even so, Kyle could not overcome her anger and expressed her resentment and seemed to dare to question her saintess.
“Please stop. At least what I see.”
Sylvia’s slender fingers pointed to Kyle’s hand, which was gripping Adele’s arm violently.
“Also from what I have heard.”
Her finger went up and tapped her on the back of her ear.
“Because I don’t think you’re in a position to blame him.”
And for some reason she sided with Adele.
