Episode 97

I was thinking of cleaning up the remaining time before I went up to the classroom.

‘I’m going to put the chocolate in my room so that Cassius can’t see it.’

I’m sure he’ll go crazy again if he finds out.

As soon as I approached the dormitory building I had encountered for the first time in a long time, I found the door of a nearby training centre open.

‘Who’s been training since this morning?’

On the first day of school?

I thought it was Eugene, so I pushed my head through the door.

However, what caught my eyes wasn’t silver hair but cherry blossom hair that flew in the middle of the empty training ground.

“Erica?”

Erica was standing with a serious face, had her hair tied together, which she had always been loose long before.

Soon a red beam emanated out of her hand.

The beam went into the middle of the target, and the target split with a clatter.

‘It’s getting better and better.’

Unlike the original Erica, who mainly used defensive magic, Erica has recently greatly expanded the scope of offensive magic that she can use.

‘When we were together in the castle, I was surprised that her skills improved a lot.’

She practised magic all the time, saying that training is fun when I’m with her, but she seems to have been training since this morning.

“Erica!”

At my voice, she paused and looked back.

Her eyes resembling Tourmaline gave me a clear glow as soon as I saw them.

“Yerine…!”

Her voice calling my name was trembling.

“Have you been good?”

“Yes.”

And she asked carefully.

“Yerine is doing well……?”

“Yes, I’m good.”

I added a word with a big smile.

“Other than I missed you.”

Tears welled up in Erica’s eyes when she heard the words.

I wonder why she couldn’t greet me warmly even after seeing me for the first time, so I ran up and hugged her with my arms.

“I’m sorry……..!”

She still seemed to think she was responsible for the monster raid.

I shook my head quietly and tapped Erica on her back.

“Erica, you don’t have to be sorry. It wasn’t anybody’s fault there.”

“……thank you for saying that.”

Erica, who straightened her back and faced me, said in a slightly tearful voice.

I smiled at her like that.

“It’s so good to see you again, Erica.”

“Yes, me too.”

“By the way, did you practice this morning? You’re diligent.”

I glanced at the split target and spoke to Erica.

“Oh, I try not to miss the practice of offensive magic every day.”

Erica tapped her fingers together and said that.

“I see. You’ve been focusing on offensive magic lately, haven’t you?”

Although I expected answers such as “yes”, Erica didn’t say anything for a while.

“Erica?”

Her face was slightly stiff when I looked back.

When I thought I had made a mistake, Erica said with a bright smile.

“Yes, I’ve realized something.”

Her voice was still and calm.

“Yerine, long time no see.”

“Cassius!”

I had not seen his face for nearly a month.

Cassius had lost a little weight, but his jawline had gotten a little sharper.

Nevertheless, his smile was uniformly dazzling.

“How are you?”

Cassius took my hand and shook it, happily.

“I’ve been well. What about Cassius? You seem to have lost some weight. Are you okay?”

“Well, is that so?”

Cassius asked, sweeping his left cheek with his hand.

“You don’t like skinny men?”

“Yes? Uh……..”

A skinny man.

Have I ever liked skinny men?

I put my fingers to my mouth and recalled the days of my past life.

‘Actually, the body is the body, but the best in the face.’

What’s wrong with being handsome?

‘Well, if you have the same handsome face, it’s better to have someone with muscles.’

After concluding, I opened my mouth to Cassius.

“I’ve thought about it, but I don’t hate skinny men.”

“Really?”

Cassius answered with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes, but I like a person with a lot of muscles better.”

“Yes……? I see.”

Somehow Cassius’s nodding mouth seemed to twitch strangely.

“So, You like people with a lot of muscles…..”

“Yes!”

Nodding enthusiastically, I answered him.

‘Yeah, muscles are the best. A good-looking face and muscles make it a perfect addition.’

At that moment, Cassius’s body caught my eye.

‘And so did Cassius……….’

He could not hide his muscles completely even if he covered them with clothes.

An angry muscle seemed to be breathing under his slightly tight shirt, and each of the sunburnt hands stood out.

I swallowed without realizing it.

And his face is handsome.

I looked up and thought, staring Cassius in the eye.

Cassius, who couldn’t even know what I was thinking, tilted his head and shined his golden eyes.

‘It’s perfect. A handsome face with muscles.’

Suddenly, I remembered Cassius wearing only one pyjama and loosening his front leaves. When I remembered my long-sealed memory, my face was heated.

“Yerine, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, no.”

This is crazy. This is a sacred school.

People will go crazy when they find out that I, one of the Housekeepers of The 7 Imperial Family and one of the class presidents of the Academy, though, “He’s got the best muscles.”

“By the way, I didn’t know that muscular people were your taste.”

“Oh, look, please don’t talk openly to other people. I’m ashamed.”

Cassius then smiled and closed his golden eyes.

“Of course. I’m the only one who will know your taste. I don’t want to tell anyone else.”

Wow, he said a great line again.

It’s time to get used to it, but I still feel overwhelmed whenever he throws such a straight shot.

“Uh….”

Then I heard a familiar voice.

“Spade.”

Looking back, there stood a man with a transparent silvery hair that was almost white.

“Eugene! Long time no see.”

“Yeah, Have you been good?”

“Yes, I’ve been well.”

“Yes.”

Eugene replied with a smile.

“You don’t want to say hello to me, do you?”

Cassius smiled broadly and spoke to Eugene.

I’m sure his mouth is smiling, but I could feel some bloody energy for some reason.

“You want me to say hello?”

Eugene answered in a dry voice without budging an eyebrow.

“Did you spend the rest of your vacation in peace, Prince?”

Eugene said, looking at Cassius crookedly.

“You’re a good speaker, even though you’re not so polite.”

“Well, I can’t help it if you don’t like it.”

Eugene, who was shrugging his shoulders, took off his jacket and said that.

Oh, my God.

Eugene rarely took off his jacket.

Unless it was against the rules of etiquette, he was the type to wear clothes and even a cape completely.

He also kept his cognitive neck and sleeve buttons locked to the end, focusing on rules and manners.

So, in fact, usually only his face and his hands that showed.

It was quite rare for him to walk around in only a shirt and vest.

‘Well, that’s possible.’

Wearing his jacket on a chair, he began unbuttoning the sleeve of his left arm.

“Huh?”

Then he rolled up his sleeves completely to reveal his forearms.

Not to stop there, he rolled up the other sleeve completely.

“Oh, it’s really hot.”

I looked at him with a face that I couldn’t understand the lines as if I weren’t listening at all.

“Why is it so hot?”

He had blue veins on his forearm, which busily took out the textbooks.

Every time he moved his arm, the fine muscles, which had been strengthened by long training, came alive in three dimensions, and I was dazed for a moment.

“No, wait, Eugene. What do you mean, hot? It’s February now. The vacation is over, but it is still winter.”

It didn’t make sense that it was hot.

I even felt my hands were freezing on the way here.

“You’ll catch a cold. Put on your jacket and lower your sleeves.”

“No, it’s hot.”

Eugene shook his head and insisted.

“Hey, it’s snowing outside. It’s piled up because of the snow.”

Nevertheless, Eugene did not budge.

Eugene’s face was dry and smooth without any moisture.

‘No, the kid who didn’t shed a sweat is suddenly somehow feeling hot.’

Revealing the bare skin that he’s never put on there.

It was so strange that I put my hand on his forehead and asked.

“Do you have a fever? Are you talking nonsense because of the fever?”

At that moment, Eugene’s eyes grew bigger.

And I felt a slight heat on the back of my hand.

His face had turned red there, too.

“I think you have a slight fever. Go to the infirmary. Don’t be stubborn.”

“Oh, no—”

Just then, I heard a ‘thump’ sound behind my back.

“What?”

Looking back in amazement, Cassius had a huge number of books on his desk that I had no idea where he had brought them from.

He had so many books piled up that I thought I wouldn’t be able to see a short person standing behind it because of the book.

“I have a stack of books to return.”

Cassius murmured, wrapped his arms around the pile of books and picked it all at once.

His arms were also fully rolled up like Eugene.

“Oh, my God, Cassius, you’ll get hurt!”

I was frightened and activate magic air to float the books

“What are you going to do if you hurt your back? Why are you suddenly doing something you haven’t done?”

“Oh, I have a stack of books to return to the library.… I have to give it back quickly.”

Casius, with his hands-free, scratched his head and said.

“Yerine can rest. It’s my books, so I’ll return them.”

I sighed back at Cassius’s words.

“No, it’s okay. Let’s go to the library together. Don’t do anything stupid.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that.”

“Would I be able to stay still after seeing Cassius do it? Don’t say anything weird and follow me quickly.”

I said, pushing a book floating in the air toward the classroom door.

“I’m sorry.”

Cassius scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“If you know you’re sorry, don’t do that next time. You’re too young to use your body like that.”

“Sorry.”

When I opened the door with Cassius, I turned around and shouted at Eugene.

“You must go to the infirmary, Eugene! Or get a fever reducer from Rayl!”

Eugene, who had his mouth sticking out for some reason and had a look on his face that he didn’t like something, said, “Okay.”

I closed the door and left the classroom and headed for the library.

As we moved away from the classroom and climbed the stairs, Cassius muttered quietly.

“This is good.”

“What? What did you just say?”

Then Cassius smiled at me and replied.

“No, Yerine, nothing.”
