Bullied but Popular - Chapter 151



151 – Ethan

“… Why did you say that?”

After hearing Frey’s explanation, Tia asked with a straight face, and Frey said confidently.

“With the atmosphere and the momentum, without me knowing!”

“You’re a funny sister.”

Tia sighed and said to Lirina.

“Lilina, just forget about it. I think I was bitten by a dog once.”

“Ah, no matter how bad the dog is. She’s a princess. I think she was bitten by a cat.”

“hehehehe.”

At Aren’s words, Frey laughs as if embarrassed.

“I see~ Was your sister that cute?”

“That’s not what I meant… Tia, don’t stare at me?”

I’m looking at something that doesn’t really matter.

On the other hand, despite their conversation, Lirina’s expression remained frozen.

“Hey… Lirina?”

When Lirina’s gaze slightly turned to his call, Aren smiled as softly as he could and said.

“There’s no need to break it down too much. To be honest, as long as Lirina caught it at the end, that duel would have been a victory for Lirina.”

“That’s right, Lilina. Don’t worry too much.”

Aren and Tia supported her as if they were breathing together, but Lirina’s expression did not let go.

It seemed that he thought he had been completely defeated by Airen in terms of his magic skills.

‘Umm… should I tell you?’

It seems that Lirina is taking it more seriously than she thought.

Seeing this, Frey smiled meaningfully and said to Aren.

From noble mtl dot com

“Aren.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you use the shore earlier?”

“yes.”

“What did you see?”

“…if you knew, don’t joke around like that.”

Lirina, who finally responded to the conversation between the two, asked.

“Excuse me?”

“Oh, actually. There’s a power that bounced off Lirina at the end, right?”

“yes.”

“That’s not an artifact.”

“yes?”

At Aren’s words, Lirina and Tia tilted their heads.

“Then what caused Lirina to bounce off?”

“Ah… can I tell you this?”

It’s not usually a problem, so it’s just embarrassing to say.

Aren hesitated, but Frey urged.

“Say it quickly! Quickly!”

“Your sister didn’t know?”

“I know it’s some other power, but I don’t know what it is!”

“Ummm…”

It was even more difficult to say when Frey didn’t know.

“Then let’s keep it a secret between us. I don’t know if I can talk about this either.”

“Yes! Yes! What is it?”

“Tell me quickly.”

As Frey and Tia urged, Aren had no choice but to open his mouth.

“It’s holy water.”

“… holy water?”

“Holy Water!?”

“……”

Frey and Tia reacted as if they were surprised, and Lirina put on a dazed expression.

Aren continued his explanation.

“Perhaps Iren Rosengart is not a 5th Circle mage.”

“What? Then what?”

“What is it? A 3rd circle wizard.”

“yes!?”

Lirina, who was sitting in the seat, jumped up and shouted.

“A 3rd circle wizard!?”

“yes.”

“Are you sure!? The magic earlier was definitely Airen’s mana!?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

“……”

Aren gave an explanation for the stunned woman.

“Sung-soo is a baby nine-tailed fox. He was wearing it on his shoulder?”

“Ah, that strange feeling was holy water!”

Frey exclaimed at Aren’s words.

“Somehow! He said something was strange! It’s definitely a 5th circle, but he looked ignorant!”

“… I don’t know anyone, but you talk harshly.”

Tia said while Aren was confused.

“What kind of magic did the gumiho use?”

“I don’t know, me too. But mana control is quite good? With that level of camouflage, it’s good enough to go undetected. It’s not holy water for nothing.”

“Wow, Seongsu… A nine-tailed fox.”

Tia muttered in admiration at the second holy water that came out of Iggent.

Then Tia said to Aren.

“In modern times, why can’t our albinos still create a storm? Even albinos are holy beasts?”

“Huh? Oh, and then the albino was also a holy beast…”

He played, ate, and pooped all the time like a pet, so even an albino was a holy beast.

After realizing the truth belatedly, the two of them pondered seriously for a while, and Lirina asked.

“Aren, then the magic she used earlier…”

“Yes, nine-tailed foxes… rather than just the two of them, I don’t know what kind of technique that is.”

“…… yes.”

Upon hearing Aren’s words, Lirina looked disappointed.

***

Meanwhile, Irene Rosengart entered her dormitory and thought with a serious expression on her face.

“That man, of course, is Aren Deepus.”

The High Humans officially known to Exgent, Aren Deepus and Cecilia Cloud.

The man I saw at the gymnasium was Aren Deepus.

“What can I do…”

“Kwuuung…”

At Airen’s self-talk, her partner, the holy beast nine-tailed fox, lowered her head.

“Ah… Miho, it’s okay. It’s not your fault.”

“Kwuuu…”

When Miho was sullen despite his own words, Airen lifted Miho up and said,

“It’s okay~ Did you do that to protect your sister? Thank you~”

“Kyung!”

“Au~ cute~”

Airen rubbed Miho on her face and thought about it again.

‘It was definitely an atmosphere of being noticed.’

The eyes of Aren, who were glaring with his blue eyes earlier.

A certain emotion peeped in his eyes.

‘What can I do? I’ve already spread rumors that I’m in the 5th circle…’

Airen’s original level is a 3rd Circle Mage.

Her family, the Rosengart family, is a family that uses magic as its main force, and of course, Rosengart’s daughter, Irene, has also learned magic.

However, because of her skills that did not increase compared to her efforts, Irene always had to be ignored and insulted by the students around her.

‘But the world has changed since I met Miho…’

After receiving help from Miho, not only the family who always ignored them, but also the students couldn’t ignore Airen.

‘I can’t go back to that life again.’

Didn’t her older sister, Mary Rosengart, run away in love as if she could not endure the difficult life of her family and ran away?

Of course, he wouldn’t do such a stupid thing, but he had no intention of living while being ignored by his family.

‘But if Aren Difus speaks to others…’

It was good to show off my skills.

However, if Miho’s existence was discovered by the family, life with Miho could be difficult.

“…… I need to meet Aren Deepus.”

Airen said in a voice full of determination.

***

The first day at Felix Academy is over.

After finishing all classes, Aaron immediately took up his wooden sword and moved to the 1st grade gymnasium.

“Hey~ Aaron!”

“… tsk.”

On the way to the gymnasium, Carol suddenly jumped out and called Aaron happily.

“Training? Let’s go together.”

“I’m going to do it alone today. Go away.”

“Ah, let’s just do it together~ Isn’t it better to do it together rather than alone?”

“Oh, turn it off.”

Despite Aaron’s nervous words, Carol smirked and followed Aaron.

“There’s only one gymnasium we can use anyway, right?”

“Then come later. I train first.”

“Ah~ I’m sorry~”

Ignoring Carol’s words, I immediately stepped up and entered the gymnasium.

And then he immediately stopped.

tall

“Huh? Why?”

Carol asked, looking at Aaron, who suddenly stopped walking, but he just looked straight ahead without answering.

At that, Carol passed him and looked inside the gymnasium, and understood why he had stopped walking.

“It’s been a while, Tale?”

“……”

Tail Boyd was practicing in the gymnasium.

At Carol’s call, Tail stopped training for a while and turned his head.

“Did you come to practice?”

“Ah, do you want to join me?”

“No. I’m comfortable being alone.”

Then, he falls back into self-discipline.

Seeing this, Aaron stepped forward and said.

“Do you do it together? Is it fun alone?”

“……”

“… Aaron, I’ll tell you earlier.”

“shut up.”

Aaron, simply ignoring Carol’s words, lifted his wooden sword toward Tail and said,

“Let’s fight for the first time in a while. I’ll see how much my skills have improved.”

“… you? me?”

When Teil asked as if he was dumbfounded, Aaron smiled and replied.

“Uh. I want you.”

“No reservations.”

“Why? What are you so afraid of?”

“……”

Tail laughed at Aaron’s provocation and focused on training again.

Of course, Aaron, who saw that, began to get angry.

“Haa~ Really? Even though we fought 2 to 1 back then, we couldn’t defeat it. It might look funny to you, right?”

Tail ignored Aaron’s bleak voice and swung his fist into the air.

Fain! Fain! Fain!

A crackling sound erupted, and a bloody sound erupted.

Seeing this, Aaron smiled and said.

“If you still react like that~”

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

Aura began to write on Aaron’s wooden sword.

“Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing for me to stay still?”

“Hey hey Aaron.”

Carol urgently blocked Aaron’s way.

“Here’s Felix. You could end up on trial instead of expulsion.”

“What to do, get out of the way.”

“Ah, won’t this hot-tempered thing be cured?”

The moment Carol spoke in embarrassment.

“Are you Aaron?”

“huh?”

A sturdy male student suddenly appeared and swung an aura at Aaron.

“Aaron!”

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-ang!

Carol reflexively shouted at the sudden surprise attack, but Aaron lightly blocked the boy’s aura and started counterattacking.

Breaking Bad Kwaang!

“Keuuh… Is it quite right?”

“Don’t you think you’re X Bob?”

The male student who barely blocked Aaron’s attack raised his aura again and said.

“As I’ve heard, your personality is like a b*tch? Did you make my friends bloody?”

“Well? I don’t remember? There are so many idiots out there that I can’t even tell who is who.”

“Ah, is it?”

At Aaron’s sarcasm, the male student, Ethan, raised his wooden sword again and said.

“I’ll make you remember.”

“You’re laughing.”

The moment Aaron is also about to raise his aura and start moving.

“stop!!!”

“…?”

“…?”

The wooden swords of the two stopped at the cry of Sylvia Rochelle who entered the gymnasium.

“What are these things!!”

“Mistress, something bothersome has come out.”

At Sylvia’s appearance, Ethan grumbled and then withdrew his aura.

Seeing Ethan like that, Aaron started provoking again.

“Can’t you just go? This guy was lower than I thought?”

“What is this bastard?”

“Can’t you hear me, Ethan?”

At Sylvia’s low voice, Ethan wrinkled his expression and sighed.

“Haa, the principal’s granddaughter is the boss.”

“Shut up if you know. Don’t cause trouble in our academy.”

Ethan shrugged and closed his mouth.

Sylvia glared at Aaron this time and said.

“You’re still crazy.”

“You’re laughing. Because that bastard swung the aura first? Aren’t you guys in a weird state of mind?”

Hearing those words, Carol couldn’t stay still.

“Isn’t that what Aaron said? You told Aren the other day…”

“Shut up you bastard. Don’t you know how to giggle?”

“… Kilpa?”

Carol muttered as if she really didn’t know.

Aaron looked at Carol as if he was pathetic, then looked at Sylvia again and said,

“Looks like Felix’s commoner auronite is him? Why don’t you just let it happen like this?

“You guys don’t mess around.”

Sylvia growled.

“If you come to someone else’s academy, quietly take classes and leave. Don’t spill the water for nothing.”

“Are you really kidding me? Didn’t you hear me? That commoner dregs used the aura first?”

Ethan’s mouth twitched at Aaron’s provocation.

From noble mtl dot com

“Commoner dregs?”

“What, you bastard.

At Aaron’s provocation, which started once again, Ethan’s wooden sword rose again.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

“Ethan!”

Seeing that, Sylvia crumpled her face and stood in front of her.

“I told you to stop.”

“Sylvia.”

Looking at Sylvia who blocked his way, Ethan said with a smirk.

“Don’t recklessly step forward when it’s not even an Aura Night. Then you’ll die.”

“…… what?”

At Edan’s words, life flows in Sylvia’s eyes.
