Episode 18

Although it was just for a short time, her eyes were shining with the lovely cherry blossom colour that looked very smart. A long, soft pink hair that reaches the waist.
My eyes canât be wrong after years of being a favourite fan.
It must have been my favourite character, Erica Blothea, who took the pencil case from me and ran away with a dazzled face.
âBut why did she run awayâ¦..?â
I peeped through the classroom window in the direction where Erica had disappeared.
Erica saw me and ran away with aâ gaspâ sound.
As far as I remember, Erica didnât react like that when Eelin and Erica first met in the original story.
âIs she afraid of my left eye.â¦.?â
Thatâs all I could think of, actually. Sometimes people who saw it for the first time would flinch at my eyes.
Of course, Ericaâs reaction is a bit fierce, but I believe itâs understandable.
Then, over the cloudy window on the back door, I saw pink hair sitting quietly in the corner.
âFound herâ¦â¦!â
Erica, who was seen through the door, was so pretty.
Looking at the pink hair flowing down in the wind, my hands collected tightly like small animals, I screamed inwardly and scratched the classroom door like crazy.
âMy favourite is so pretty in person!â
Turned around and shouted silent cheers toward the corridor, several students glanced at me.
When I calmed down again, I began to appreciate the beautiful heroine over the window.
âIâd like to talk and be friendly to herâ¦â¦â
But I couldnât.
Because there will be a time when Yerine confronts Erica in the future.
Of course, I may be able to have some expectations because my situation and the reaction of Cassius now are very different from the original flow.
But considering what happened earlier, I donât know why, but Erica seems to be afraid of me.
âOh, my God, why would sheâ¦â¦ would Erica not be afraid of me if I was possessed by a classmate-like extra.â
If weâre in the same class, Iâll only see her from afar, but weâre in a different class. Itâs pathetic
I canât even talk to her when sheâs right in front of me.
âUhâ¦â
With frustration, I closed my mouth with my hands and made a cry.
Meanwhile, Erica, who swept her hair with her hands, was so cute.
âOh, I really want to be closeâ¦â¦â
âWith whom?â
âgasp.â
Suddenly, I was startled by the voice coming from behind my back and swung my arm and stepped back.
Rachel, with a confused expression, stood where the voice was heard, and she laughed, looking up and down at me standing in a strange posture.
âWhy are you so surprised?â
âOh, no, itâsâ¦..â
âHave you got a crush on someone? The prince will make a fuss when he hears it, so be careful.â
âNo, itâs not what you think, Rachel.â
Then Rachel put her finger in her mouth and nodded.
âSo thereâs someone you really want to be friends with, huh?â
âYes.â
I replied, glancing at her pink hair through a hazy glass window.
Then Rachel came to my side and looked into the window and said,
âThen try to talk to her. Donât just stare at her like this.â
âOh, itâsâ¦â
âI think everyone will like it if you talk to them. Donât you think o?â
I answered with a tearful look on Rachelâs face as she looked at me with confident amber eyes.
âNoâ¦Â I talked to her, I ran into her in the hallway for a while, butâ¦â¦â¦ I think sheâs afraid of me.â
âWhat? Why?â
I explained to her what happened in the hallway earlier.
She looked back at me with an unknown expression and replied, looking at the inside of the classroom.
âHmmâ¦â¦is she that girl with pink hair?â
âOh, thatâs right. How did you know?â
As I turned around Rachel in amazement, Rachel said casually.
âWell, because you were looking over there like you were looking at newborn chicksâ¦..â
ââ¦â¦was I that much?â
âItâs all right. Except for the saliva coming out of your mouth, you didnât look like a stalker.â
Slightly self-deprecated, I shut my mouth quietly, looking at Rachel, who was making a tremendous noise with a fine face.
âWhatâs her name?â
âErica Blothea.â
In my reply Rachel answered, lowering her magpie feet and stroking her chin with her hand.
âI donât know her. If I had known her, I would have become a bridge.â¦.â
Rachel seemed genuinely sorry. Seeing the girl who was seriously worried even though it wasnât her duty, I felt very grateful.
âBut why is she afraid of youâ¦â¦I wish I knew that.â¦â
âUmâ¦. Well, I donât reallyââ
But before I could answer Rachel, a strange voice called me.
âH, heyâ¦â
Looking back, a student with bobbed hair and a student with a ribbon on her head stood there, mumbling words.
âAh.â
Come to think of it, I kept blocking the way in front of the classroom door.
Immediately led Rachel out of the door and stepped out of the way.
âIâm sorry. Now get in.â
The two students, however, did not move with a puzzled look on their faces even though I had stepped aside.
âOh, no. Weâre not in this class. I have nothing to do in this class.â
The bobbed-haired student shook her head and said,
âThen whyâ¦?â
But before long, the question was solved.
Because the student with a ribbon opened her mouth in a trembling voice, as she was stammering.
âWell, Iâ¦â¦Iâm sorry youâre busy, butâ¦..can I get your autograph, Miss Spadeâ¦..?â
At first, I thought I misheard.
But the word âautographâ was so clear that I asked back in a perplexed voice.
âA, autograph?â
Then the two students nodded eagerly.
âWhy do they need my autographâ¦â¦â
When I was confused with a question mark on my face, a student with bobbed hair suddenly shouted out loud enough to ring in the hallway.
âIâm a fan! I fell in love with you at the last appointment ceremony!â
âI also thought it was great that you magically extinguished the fire with magic power! Youâre so coolâ¦..!â
The more the two students talked about my best performance they thought, the more my face heated up.
Iâm grateful and embarrassed to hear this because Iâve come across the eyes of students walking along the street.
âI, I am not that greatâ¦â¦. sign an autographâ¦â¦â
âNo! Youâre so great! If youâre uncomfortable with signingâ¦â¦â¦â
âOh, thatâs not it. If you have the paperââ
Finally, I signed my autograph to two students who looked at me like a chick looking at a mother chicken.
After the autographed student sent back saying thank you, again and again, I felt strange.
âYouâre a real popular, Yerine.â
Rachel giggled and tapped me on the back.
âI guess so⦠I didnât know it was this much.â
âI wish Erica liked you like them.â
said Rachel, glancing inward into the classroom.
âThatâs what Iâm talking about. Why is she afraid of meâ¦..â
I stretched and sighed and lamented.
âOh, about that. Isnât it because of the rumour spread in the next class?â
âRumours? What rumours?â
âWell, you were mad at the prince yesterday.â
I opened my eyes thinly and listened to Rachelâs story over and over again.
You mean, thatâs what makes Erica scared of me?
âBecause your anger was no joke, and not many people could be that angry with the princeâ¦â¦. I guess thereâs a rumour going around that youâre scary enough to hold and shake the prince.â
âWhat? It would be Cassius the one shaking me, not the opposite way!â
Rachel nodded quietly and continued her words.
âThatâs right. But people donât know it, so they might have seen it that way. Besides, youââ
âHuh?â
Rachel, who hesitated with her pumpkin-coloured eyes rolling around, gave me the answer she hesitated to look straight at.
âWhen you called the prince at lunch yesterday, you said, âFollow me to the roofâ with no reason. Isnât that enough to be misunderstood?â
I grab my head with both hands in despair.
Somehow this fucking prince doesnât help even in times like this.
This is the result of my anger at Cassius from the first day, exudes a tremendous amount of dark aura.
âAfter all, Erica thinks Iâm a bully.â
When my thoughts reached that point, I realized that I will never get close to Erica in this life.
âHahahaâ¦â
âYerineâ¦â¦youâre not crying, rightâ¦.?â
Rubbing my warm, I turned back and went back to my class.
âIâm fine. Iâm fine. I am satisfied just by cheering for the heroine to live a happy life.â
incessantly repeating self-justification.
***
âIâm not okayâ¦â
When I saw the heroine, I was so happy that I wanted to bow 8th directions, but when I found out that I couldnât meet her, I felt exhausted all day.
âIâm given this opportunity then taken right away..â¦â
Of course, the future could have become better.
If you donât have anything to do with Erica, itâs more likely that I wonât die in the end.
âButâ¦.. Huongâ¦.â
As I muttered and tore my head off from the desk, I could hear Ashtra whispering to Rayl.
âIs she all right?â
âI donât knowâ¦â
When I was down too much, I started thinking crazy, and I thought I would rather study.
If I concentrate on anything, I think I can get rid of this feeling of depression.
âCome on, everybody. Please have a seat.â
By 5 p.m., Prof. Frain came in, and the students went back to their respective places and listened to Prof. Frainâs instructions.
âItâs all over for me, andâ¦â¦â¦ Iâll give you one last piece of guidance. Finally, starting tomorrow, weâre going to start the testing.â
The sound brought the runaway spirit back in a flash. As I looked at Professor Frain with a lively eye unlike before, I smiled slightly and the professor continued her words.
âThe test will be conducted over three days, and the results of the pre-admission performance test and the results of the test will be combined to make the final division of the actual class.â
âIâm finally doing itâ¦.!â
The first hurdle to be Trump is getting into the top class in the Academyâs practical class.
Unlike the previous test, the division test results are calculated through a magic battle with other students. In other words, it is a test that measures direct combat capability.
âIâll hand out the match chart now, so please check it out in advance.â
Although the Academy is trying to judge the results as fairly as possible so that the results are not determined by the match only, it is inevitable that Iâm concerned about the match.
To be honest, I hoped that I would go against Eugene, but not Casius.
The reason is that I wanted to see Eugeneâs abilities, that he show off all the time, and I could beat him legally.
I wanted to avoid Cassius.
It wasnât easy to beat him who was extremely strong as he is from a royal family.
When I received a small piece of paper from Prof. Frain with a throbbing heart and checked the contents, I couldnât help but feel cold.
âWhat is thisâ¦â
