Surprising Even Breathing

48 – If Demesis participates, I think the reversal will be possible.

Professor Richellin’s class ended while studying the textbook after a brief announcement about me.

Since the midterm exams were less than a month away, the professors were also busy with learning progress.

After class was over, Chase and I went into the break room.

The rest room that was well maintained even while I was away.

When you turn on the magic light, it is brightly lit and creates a comfortable atmosphere.

I sat down on a leather sofa in one corner.

Chase, who hadn’t been to the Demesis break room for the first time, looked over the furniture and sat with her buttocks on the backless sofa to my left with the table in between.

“Would you like a cup of coffee? or tea? Fruit juice?”

I found refreshments and drinks in the break room and put them in front of me.

it wasn’t done

Chase came to find something to eat on her own out of respect for me.

“I’ll do it with coffee.”

“Yes, Demesis.”

Chase makes me coffee.

Looking at it this way, the actions she had to do were like maids.

Be polite and treat me with utmost respect.

It would be more comfortable to talk while eating than to be alone with me, so I let her do what she wanted.

I asked Chase while filling my stomach with the snacks on the table.

“Has anything good happened? Your face seems to have brightened?”

She has a broader impression than before.

I slept well and ate delicious food, so my skin felt soft and smooth.

“Is it good? Well, nothing special. I just… got a lot of compliments at home.”

The corners of Chase’s mouth curled up.

He flicks his glasses with his fingers and pretends to be okay, but he can’t hide his excitement.

After visiting the Mage Tower and the expedition to the Eastern Magic Field with me, it seems that at least something good happened within the Odeln family.

“Hi-Hi.”

Thinking of something, she grinned to herself, but soon turned her gaze to me.

I narrow my eyes and look at my lip piercing and skull earrings.

“What about Demesis? You seem to have changed more than me?”

Carefully ask my regards.

“How do you think it has changed? How do you see it? Aren’t you more comfortable looking at me than before?”

I asked her what had brought her here.

I wanted to see what effect the Infinite Ring would have.

Chase, how comfortable am I?

“I, De, it is not comfortable to see Demesis-sama. Still, the energy that puts pressure on my body seems to have lessened a little.”

She politely placed her hands on her lap and spoke.

Hearing that he is still afraid of me, but the feeling of intimidation around me has decreased and it is easier to move around.

To sum up, it could be seen that the face became more scary, but the energy that oppressed the surroundings weakened.

I nodded.

I’m satisfied with that level of effect.

“What about the face? Can I see your face?”

I tried to make eye contact with Chase.

But she avoids my gaze and closes her eyes tightly.

“sorry! Whoa, the eyes are still… … !”

I guess this is a bunch

Still, the fact that we were close enough to share refreshments with her made me feel better.

If this is the case, Chase can come as far as 2m.

“By the way, these magic control items. It seems like the more I use it, the more my impression gets worse and worse.”

In exchange for counteracting the mana flowing from my body, I was given tattoos, lip piercings and skull earrings.

The energy that overwhelms others has decreased, but the appearance is more frightening than before.

I wondered if other items would have the same effect.

“There are items you have been researching, right? ‘Thousand Eyes’, ‘The Giant King’s Gauntlet’. what do these look like? Could it be that the appearance is as frightening as this Infinite Ring?”

I asked about the appearance of the items I was thinking of getting.

*

“Well, according to the records, ‘Thousand Eyes’ are said to have a thousand eyes, and when a monster wears them and appears, all tentacles have eyeballs attached, so it was called that. The ‘Gauntlet of the King of Giants’ is designed with spikes on its fists like spiked gloves.”

Chase answered, recalling the information she knew.

“this… … .”

The design of a glove with a thousand eyes and thorns, even if you imagine it, the shape is brutal.

I like piercings, skull earrings, and tattoos.

On top of that, I imagined myself with a thousand more eyeballs attached here and there, and wearing barbed gloves on both hands.

Even if the mana flowing outwardly has decreased, it seems like he already looks like a villain just by looking at it?

I’ll have to seriously think about whether I really need to find this magic control item.

“But even these items may change their shape depending on the wearer. Infinite Ring was like that too.”

The Infinite Ring also looked like a ring that was usually worn on the finger.

It turned into an accessory that I wear and attach to my face.

With that in mind, I couldn’t exactly predict what the other items would actually look like.

“Yes… … .”

After hearing Chase’s words, I leaned towards finding the item again.

It is not too late to choose whether or not to keep wearing it after wearing it.

Still, they are harder to find than the ‘Infinity Ring’, so I lowered the priority of finding them.

For the time being, I will focus on my academy life.

The rest of the items will take more than a month to find.

While I was eating a snack while organizing my thoughts, I felt a presence outside.

“… … ?”

Following my gaze, Chase also turned her head toward the door to the private resting room.

The sound of footsteps approaching little by little.

I heard two people approaching my break room.

smart.

“Who is it?”

It was the first guest to knock on the exclusive lounge.

I wonder if the other person came looking for me, or if I accidentally knocked on the door while looking for someone else.

“Oh, hello. De, Demesis. This is Broa.”

“Broa?”

“yes. I have something to tell you. Oh, can I go inside?”

“Come in.”

I quickly opened the door with my telekinetic powers.

slip.

A self-opening visit.

The impression of the guests is revealed.

On one side was Broa, who was standing still, nervous, and on the other was Miel, the class president of our class, a candidate saint.

Miel has bright black hair and always has a friendly smile on his face.

When he sees me, he goes from smiling to a frightened face, but basically a warm and gentle feeling.

“What is going on?”

I asked the purpose of their visit.

I’m very glad you came to my break room.

“Bar, I have something to tell you about the class battle.”

“An anti-war?”

“yes.”

“Sit down.”

I invited Broa and Miel to sit on the sofa across from me.

After hearing my words, Broa barely sat down on the sofa across from me while looking at me nervously, and Miel hid behind Broa and trembled, then when Broa sat down, he clung to her side and leaned against her.

Chase, who was staring at them with her eyes wide open as they both cared about me, didn’t care.

“Okay, if you have something you want to say, feel free to say it.”

I said as I pulled down my hood to look as intimidating as possible.

*

Miel was holding Broa’s right forearm tightly with both hands.

Seeing her struggling to calm down her trembling body, let alone face to face with me, I feel like I need to talk to Broa.

I shifted my gaze to Broa.

“Yes, Demesis. Miel is the class president, so we’re researching the events for the class competition. This time, Demesis-nim came to ask what sport he would be participating in.”

Upon hearing the circumstances at first glance, it seemed that Miel was afraid of me and could not come to the private resting room alone, but borrowed the power of Broa to come with me.

Instead of Miel, Broa gives me the entry form for the class competition.

“There are not many items left. Everyone is eagerly waiting for Demesis to participate. Tea, will you participate?”

She looked at my hand on the table and shrugged her shoulders.

He mustered up the courage to speak, but he seemed terribly afraid of this situation facing me across the table.

“It’s an anti-war.”

I pulled the registration form with telekinesis and held it with one hand.

Looking at the contents, the events the students have participated in so far, the events to be competed in the future, and the list of participants were written.

“Everyone desperately wants me to participate?”

Among what Broa said, there was a sentence that bothered me, so I asked back.

Why is everyone expecting me to participate?

I would frighten them with just my presence.

“Mrs. Demesis. Ooh, our class. Right now, I’m in second place in the sophomore academy special class. But, if Demesis-nim participates, I think it will be possible to reverse it, so everyone is looking forward to it.”

Broa explained to me the scores displayed on the entry form.

If I can participate in the last event and my class can reap a landslide victory, the reverse is arithmetically possible.

That’s why Broa and Miel came to my private break room despite their fears and asked if I would like to participate.

“So you’re saying you want me to participate in the last event?”

“yes.”

“I get it.”

I immediately granted her request.

If I could leave a good impression on my classmates by participating in the class competition, I was unconditionally in favor.

“phew…”

When I did my favor, Broa put a hand on her chest and let out a low breath.

It seems that I was too afraid to even ask this.

While looking at her reaction, I wrote my name on the entry form. He then handed over the entry form to Chase, telling her to write down any events she wanted to participate in as well.

There were only a handful of events left, but if you look carefully, there might be something she could participate in.

“thank you. Thank you, Demesis.”

“thank you…”

When I filled out the form and handed it over to them, Broa nodded and thanked me, and Miel muttered in a voice like an ant crawling.

I wished they had stayed longer, but they quickly finished their work and quickly got up and left.

Pretending not to be interested in seeing them off, I turned my head and spoke to Broa, who was looking intently at my private resting room.

“How are you?”

“yes?”

“Looks like you’re all right now. I’m glad you look good.”

The safety of the assassin is a major concern to me.

Looking at her who seemed to be much healthier physically and psychologically, I nodded my head.

Broa, on the other hand, looked back in amazement.

Make eye contact with me.

1, 2, 3… .

After staring blankly at my eyes for three seconds, she hurriedly looked away.

I staggered my leg in bewilderment.

“De, Demesis-nim, too, you’ve returned safely.”

He said a word cautiously, looked me in the eye, and ran out the door.

It was a face that did not even believe the conversation he had with me.

After all, is the assassin looking out for my safety?

After interpreting the meaning of Broa’s words, he slowly pulled the wide open door with his telekinesis.

The class competition was taking place in the late afternoon after most classes had ended.

I took part in the last event in which I entered my name and appeared on the field where the class competition was held.

This is where events are held at the academy.

On the outside of the stadium, where the sand is evenly arranged and widely spread, rectangular spectator seats are installed like stairs.

As it was the last and most important game in which the final ranking of the two-week competition was decided, the audience was packed with students and academy officials.

“Did you hear about that? I heard that the Dragonian Prince participates in this event?”

“Then isn’t it a big deal? What if he kills everyone else?”

People were excited when they heard the news of my participation.

Professors attended and put multiple layers of safety shields around the stadium, and medical staff were placed in the right place in case of an emergency.

But the audience who saw me tilted their heads.

“what? Aren’t you just talking? Everyone fainted just by his appearance.”

When I came with all my magic control items equipped, the atmosphere that oppressed the space was somewhat alleviated.
