chapter 19
019. Professor’s office, garden, hospital visit (4)
“Siana?”
I called your name because I didn’t look back even if I waited.
Still, the answer is silence.
It’s kind of like coming close without permission. It’s a disrespectful act. I stood still at the entrance and waited for her reaction.
Had 10 seconds passed like that?
Cyana slowly turned her head.
“yes? Aren?”
As if you saw me only now. acting awkwardly I heard the sound of the door opening.
Originally, it was because she was an erratic girl, but the atmosphere right now is quite dangerous.
Siana’s ‘capriciousness’ that often appears.
All muscles tense up. You have to pass it well.
Shiana said with a bright smile as usual.
“Did I come to visit you? I’m happy.”
Even if your mouth is smiling, if your eyes don’t smile, did you say it’s not sincere?
The corners of Siana’s eyes didn’t move at all.
A guy like me… … What did you do wrong?
‘Write. Have you had a change of heart?’
I almost got kidnapped from the botanical garden I used to go to every day. Age is only 20 years old. Even if it was Shiana, it would have been shocking.
That said, it may not necessarily be my fault.
Let’s be a little bolder.
“I bought a pizza.”
I showed the pizza in my hand and said.
“!”
Cyana flinched.
The effect of the pizza was amazing!
If you refuse pizza, that’s not Ciana.
“Today is the day we decided to eat together.”
“… … Come and sit down.”
Only then did Sianna tell me to come and sit down. The tone is still stiff. But the fingers are wiggling.
I pretended to be as calm as possible and went to her bedside. Siana’s small nose twitched as if she smelled the pizza.
‘Even though the expression is like that, in front of the pizza… … .’
I asked Sianna, who was obsessed with pizza, how she was doing.
“How are you feeling? it’s okay?”
“yes? Yes. are you okay. Thank you for your concern.”
His expression was still cold. You’re angry, but do you want to eat pizza? Shall we tempt you with pizza?
You don’t have to ask what happened that day. Because it is already a public fact. Besides, it would have been a big wound for me.
All you have to do is ask how they are doing, feed them some pizza, and check their condition.
It’s good to find out why you’re angry.
‘Maybe he’s just hungry… … .’
However, my expectations were wonderfully missed.
what day is it today
“Yes, Aren.”
“yes?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“… … What.”
Ciana takes the weight out of proportion. His mouth closed as if he had made up his mind to do something. ominous
“Where were you the day I was almost kidnapped?”
“… … !!”
what?
how do you know chills down the spine

Keep calm, stay calm
I tried to kill my surprised heart and answered lies.
“I was in my room.”
Will a lie work for Sianna? I’m kind of anxious. However, it is impossible to admit it right away. If you misunderstand, you have to think about getting out.
“… … really?”
Siana asked again. Your voice is cold.
“yes.”
“Yes, Aren. As much as Aren, I hope you don’t lie to me.”
ha, messed up
Shiana Chigon’s expression is too serious.
She was holding onto the blanket tightly. What do you expect from me? I’m almost on the verge of crying now.
“Aren, were you outside the botanical garden at the time? Is not it?”
“… … .”
I think the reason you got mad at me was because you misunderstood me as the culprit.
It is my mistake. It’s clear that Ciana felt my magical power because I relaxed and released the shadow a little earlier.
I made that mistake because I overlooked that this girl was Shiana… … !
“What were you doing?”
sh*t. Things are so twisted How should I explain?
Should I just say I saved it? will you believe I don’t have any evidence But it doesn’t make sense that I’m there at that time.
Siana’s warm gaze is nowhere to be found. Looks like I’m the culprit. With her skills, she would be able to subdue a guy like me, so there’s no need to worry.
Can not help it.
Let’s be honest.
Making poor excuses will only make things worse.
“actually-“
–!
hee hee A playful laugh suddenly erupted. The owner of the sound was Siana.
“Aren, Aren. Why are you so nervous?”
“… … yes?”
“Aren saved me. why can’t you talk I know everything.”
Well. It’s true that you saved it.
How are things going?
What else do you know?
Didn’t you think I was the culprit?
“No, that is.”
“Answer me quickly, okay? You saved me, aren’t you Aren? Is not it?”
You want to believe that you saved it, what is it? Is it OneCoin? I feel like I should have a good answer.
‘Why do you think I saved you?’
Even if you think of him as the culprit, you won’t feel unfair.
What are you thinking about asking like that?
‘Like a person who wants me not to be a criminal.’
did you take it?
Anyway I’m proud
I moderately agreed and induced an answer.
“That’s right, Aren. Yes? Say Aren saved me.”
“… … I can’t hide it any longer.”
pretend to be I worked my brain to full capacity and came up with an answer that hadn’t been caught in the book. We need to quickly figure out what he’s thinking.
Only then did Siana loosen her expression.
He returned with his characteristic mischievous expression.
“As expected, it was Aren!”
Ciana said with a laugh. clap your hands What answer were you waiting for?
Judging by the reaction, I didn’t think I was the culprit from the beginning. Did you set the mood like that when you knew it wasn’t me in the first place? Was this all smoke?
‘It feels like I ate something.’
“Hey, hey Areen. Thanks for saving me.”
“Hey, Siana. I haven’t said anything yet… … .”
“Yes. don’t do it. You can’t do it.”
what the hell It feels like this is getting dried up by Siana’s face?
I decided not to follow the flow of Siana’s conversation any longer. I feel like I’m just wasting my energy.
“just. Aren is not the culprit. I know.”
No… … It’s crazy going back and forth.
Did you really just film it by feeling?
Maybe he just wanted to believe that I wasn’t the culprit?
I have all sorts of thoughts.
Well, I was trying to find out if anything had changed. In the first place, this child’s emotional ups and downs were ever-changing 24 hours a day. She is a person who is always changing.
At this point, I’m more curious.
‘Why the hell am I not a criminal?’
“Yes, Aren.”
“yes?”
“pizza… … Can I eat it?”
“ah.”
The pizza was getting cold.
I bought it at most, but I can’t let it cool down.
Sianna and I started eating pizza in a confused situation. It’s honestly admitted. <Warriors Pizza!> is a great restaurant!
Siana seemed to be hungry, and even while eating the pizza with her small mouth, she didn’t stop talking for a moment.
‘Yes, Aren. Are you frustrated because the nurse sister is monitoring you so closely? boring.’
‘I want to see Menya and Luming. Are you eating well?’
‘Yes, Aren. Aren, are you preparing well for the midterm exam? I’m too lazy to look at it.’
‘But, Aren. How did Aren know I like pizza!? In particular, ‘Warriors Pizza!’ I fell in love after eating it once!’
‘Aren is a smart guy. Hi-Hi.’
‘Yes, Aren. But how did you get me? Aren is a combat type, but did he use magic from a distance!?’
Even in the middle of Shiana talking like that, I couldn’t shake the question of ‘why?’
Why are you so sure I helped?
Cianna ate all the pizza.
My hands were greasy and dirty.
I casually took out a wet tissue from my bag.
I can’t stand getting dirty. So, I always carry wet wipes with me.
“Wipe it with this.”
“ah! Thanks, Aren!”
Siana took the tissue and wiped her hands meticulously. Heuhheung- He even hums a song about what made him so excited.
“Yes, Aren. Aren really neat? Are you thoroughly prepared?”
“I tend to care.”
“Just use something that smells good when you wash it!”
Um, you know that?
“It’s just my taste.”
“Aren has a refreshing scent. very nice.”
“Oh, thank you… … ”
“Because the kidnappers smelled awful!”
uh?
“It smells different from Aren. So okay this. Are you curious now?”
“Do I smell?”
For a moment, I was mistaken. That’s not the point, but I got stuck in the word ‘smell’.
Since entering this body, I was very sensitive to body odor because of my stubbornness, but I misunderstood the ‘incense’ that Siana said as ‘smell’.
“no no! Smell good scent! Aren has a pleasant scent. I like the scent of Aren.”
Cyana laughed delusionally.
It’s a face that I enjoyed being curious about from the beginning. The whole time I was eating pizza, I must have thought I was funny.
ha… … he really can’t
From the start, Shiana remembered everything about my magic power and my smell. It seems that I already knew that I was not the culprit with trivial information.
‘This is how I see the virtue of my usual hard washing.’
It’s something I never thought of, but I never thought that a tidy personality derived from [aristocratic] personality would be so helpful.
Whoa. Anyway, good luck.
However, not all questions were resolved.
“Siana.”
“yes? Why, Aren?”
“Why don’t you ask? Like who the culprit is.”
Rather, I asked. If you’re frustrated, you should ask directly.
“Yes? If Aren knew, he would have told the inspector long ago. Isn’t it because Aren doesn’t know, and because Aren has his own circumstances, he doesn’t say anything? I trust Aren, so I won’t ask.”
… … Oh, he’s like a child, but he’s always penetrating the essence. He is truly a person who understands everything. It is different from what the criminal thinks.
Sianna stared at me for a moment and then started talking.
“Yes, Aren.”
“yes.”
“Thank you for being honest. ah! The fact that he kept his promise to eat! I didn’t know how to eat at the hospital… … Hi-Hi.”
Shiana finally smiled heartily.
It’s the exact opposite of the bloody smile I showed when I first came in. People change like this in this short amount of time. I thought she was really Siana.
After all, he’s an unpredictable kid.
“I don’t remember well, but the culprit told me what to do with the pieces? Do you remember the mysterious thing I secretly showed Aren!?”
“Oh, like reptile skin?”
“Ugh, that!”
Siana traced the piece onto the quilt.
“Why?”
“It looks like a piece that fell from somewhere!”
“yes.”
“So I knew right away. This is what the culprit is looking for! But Aren knows where this is and what the seal release spell is, right?”
“Ah, I see.”
I nodded.
Even if it seems like she insists, ‘Ahren is not the culprit!’
Indeed, it is Siana.
Sianna had a plan from the beginning… … .
“I knew this from the beginning.”
Shiana crossed her arms as if she had deduced something great, hmm hmm! He snorted.
“Then what is this paper?”
I unfolded the paper on which Cyana had scribbled on her. No, if you knew the culprit from the beginning, why did you get angry?
“Ah!”
Siana swipes the paper from me! intercepted
“?”
“Wow, that’s embarrassing.”
Then why did you send it?
Sianna crumpled up the paper and hid it under her pillow. I was shy and scratched my cheek.
“Aren didn’t come to visit me. I’m kind of upset. It’s been a week!”
“ah.”
It is also very difficult for me to understand this child.
I didn’t ask the meaning of the words ‘you blackheaded flower-like bastard!’
It’s the language of flowers, it’s Nabal, and it’s probably the reason I can’t understand.
Anyway, all doubts are cleared.
I came to see if anything had changed in Cyana, but I realized again that there was no point in trying to figure out her.
It was getting dark outside the window. The crescent moon was casting moonlight.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re healthy. Be careful going forward.”
“Yeah, thanks Aren. Is Aren going now?”
“It should be. It’s night now. How long will you be there?”
“me? Until today! Aren came to visit me in the hospital, so that’s it.”
.
.
.
.
.
Siana was indeed discharged the next day.
All the professors and executives at the academy swept their hearts out.
Everyone seemed to be quite worried because he hadn’t come out for a week.
Several days have passed since then, and the investigation continues to fizzle out as no trace of the abductor of the magical fauna and flora can be found.
The Warriors Academy slowly began to return to normal.

“young master! long time no see!”
“how are you?”
Dalglish and Annie’s outfits are gorgeous today. Even if it’s the same clothes every time, the details are slightly different.
Today, Dalglish had a 7:3 hair instead of an 8:2 part, and Annie dyed her fingernails with balsam. My eyesight is getting better day by day.
Thanks to that, we had to move the meeting place to the back door of the dormitory.
I nodded slightly in the affirmative.
Dalglish checked my health with an eye exam, and Annie came over to me and trimmed my clothes. Because anyone who sees you will know that you are a complete child.
“I’m glad you didn’t have any problems… … Oops! to ask that! Bocchan, did you take the midterm exam well?”
“How was it?”
Midterm exam.
Sianna was discharged from the hospital, and a week later, she took midterm exams.
There was nothing difficult because it was at the level of checking whether I had listened to the usual classes. Especially for me, a veteran user, the written test was chewing gum.
The rest of the fitness test benefited as much as I had trained in my spare time.
Name: Aren Blackfire
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: [gloomy] [aristocratic]
Specialty: [Black Magic] [Black Fire: Spruce] [Descendant of the Sword Saint] [Eye of Mind Lv.1]
Stats: [Strength: 8] [Agility: 6] [Stamina: 7] [Luck: 1]
Power: [26/26]
My stats have improved as well. I feel proud that my body is gradually gaining muscle as the days go by.
For subjects with low stats, shadows were used to keep only ‘intermediate’ grades.
It was very interesting to see Giliot’s expression harden as he took the test.
Other than that, it was a pretty good week.
This is because there is no special episode in the midterm exam.
In the game, it’s time to focus on Ackerman’s growth, so it’s time to collect items, build relationships, and level up.
That’s how much I can afford.
Gathering information about Deiane and watching Ackerman grow, I also trained hard.
The midterm is just a break for me.
“I think it will be in the middle ranks.”
“Hoo. okay. I was worried because it was a battle system, but I’m glad.”
“Next time better grades!”
Annie clenched her fists! squeezed
Dalglish and Annie didn’t particularly argue about grades.
There was no pressure on grades from the family.
Rather, it was the one who cared more about the achievement of black magic.
“What did I ask for?”
The story begins in earnest with the final exam.
From then on, you enter the boss phase, so you need to be strong enough before then.
It’s annoying, but this world isn’t going the way I want it to. It should be able to be corrected even by force.
To be honest, I don’t have enough time for swordsmanship training right now. In the worst case scenario, I might have to defeat Deianne.
So I’m trying to prepare a special move.
“Sigh… … ! The day will come when I will tell you this. I’m thrilled. When did you grow up like this… … .”
“I will squeeze some tears.”
Has Annie become greedy for gags these days?
She pretended to whimper and took something out of her bag.
It was a book with a black dragon pattern on it.
The luxurious leather cover stands out.
It is a very old book. The crevices on the surface of the leather showed the time intact.
This book is just-
‘Black Fire Secret Book’.
Finally, the time has come to learn my family’s secret skill, the black fire.
