＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 12

memory(1)

Endex Garden. Seniors who have already completed their assignments are sitting around with people they are close to.

“Wasn’t this quite difficult? “It seems like there are quite a lot of failures.”

Kane twisted his lips at Escher’s words.

“If you can’t do this, you’re an idiot.”

“Kyokyokyo- After all that, you guys are slower than me~”

Raye laughed and made fun of Kane and Escher.

“… … .”

On the other hand, Elise is silent.

It’s always like this after any exam. Everyone gathers together and chatters about exams that have already passed.

It’s annoying and pointless.

“But honestly, this is too advantageous for you. “You can make a prism at home.”

“You know. “Can you please be quiet?”

Elise smiled slightly and glared at Escher.

“… … .”

Escher curled his lips inward.

Kane asked, putting his golf bag on the floor.

“hey. But how are you going to get your golf bag? “I won’t be able to come.”

“ok? Ah, that’s right. “I have to wait two hours for no reason because of him.”

Whether it’s Shion Askal or a kitchen knife, there’s no way that rat will pass. With an average grade of D-, 200 hours would be insufficient, not 2 hours.

“Ah, I left it to you for no reason-”

“63 minutes and 43 seconds. Zion Ascal.”

“… … ok?”

Everyone reacted to the voice that came from somewhere. It wasn’t just Elise’s gang. Gerken and Solliet, who were in first and second place, as well as everyone else who passed, looked over to the other side.

“woah… … “It’s real.”

Escher laughed. Elise frowned.

A semi-shaved head that seems to be 12mm long. It’s actually better to shave off your messy hair, revealing your clear facial features.

I hate to admit it, but honestly, I look pretty good.

—… … Ah, my hand is numb.

He approaches with a golf bag on his shoulder and a golf club clutched in one hand.

“Sion Askal. “Please sit anywhere.”

Shion trudged over and sat down in a corner seat. The hall was quiet until then, but suddenly he turned to face Escher.

“Oh right. Well written.”

Then he threw the golf bag and driver at the same time.

“… … “What the fuck – why is this thing bent?”

Escher suddenly received it and had a seizure. The driver’s shaft was bent. Shion asked back as if he didn’t know.

“Wasn’t it given to you to use?”

“Fuck that bullshit! “You bastard-”

“Shh. Please sit quietly and wait.”

Escher sat trembling at the instructor’s words. Kane right next to him was also trembling. It had a slightly different meaning from Escher. Kane’s nostrils were flaring too.

Escher pursed his lips.

“… … hey. Do not split. Don’t you know Yeokjisaji? “If you were in my shoes, would you be able to split it?”

“How can you think it’s mine when it’s not mine? “You idiot, who will leave it to you like that?”

“You bastard.”

“1:00 PM.”

It’s 1 p.m. when the mid-sky sun hits the garden at a right angle. In the garden, where the flowers and grass were sparkling, the teaching assistant looked at my watch and said,

“Evaluation complete. Congratulations. “127 out of 153 students passed the exam.”

Only 127 out of 153 passed.

I would say that it is indeed a prestigious index.

“Congratulations everyone.”

The assistant said while looking around the garden.

“Everyone who passes will receive 2 points of CP. Regardless of ranking, it is the same 2 points, but depending on today’s ranking, there will be a College Board advantage in the future.”

But I suddenly feel sleepy.

Is this a side effect of exercising too vigorously? Golf club swing exercise.

“Also, I have something to tell you. everyone. College Board assignments are, of course, important. If you fail, you will not be able to apply to college. However, what you call ‘prestigious universities’ also place great importance on campus activities. The same goes for stores, school competitions, and student records. “It means don’t belittle campus life by focusing too much on the College Board.”

I swallowed a yawn and sighed.

Right before the teaching assistant mentioned a certain name.

“This was advice from Distinguished Professor Theia Itsil, whom you all know well.”

Theia Itsil.

That name stuck in my ear. It pierced like an arrow and pierced the frontal lobe. My eyes opened wide, and my heart glowed for a moment.

“then-”

“He was here?!”

Without realizing it, my body bounced like a spring. A loud sound burst from the bottom of my chest.

“Theia Itsil?!”

Everyone looked at me, and the teaching assistant blinked.

“… … yes. Distinguished Professor Theia Isil has been watching you.”

“… … .”

My thoughts stopped for a moment. The sound of students whispering was dizzying in my ears, but it soon became dull, as if I was drowning. The whole world seemed to be moving away from me.

… … Even though I can’t say I can do it.

In that remoteness, someone’s voice rose.

… … Don’t assume you can’t do it.

A very cozy and benevolent tone.

Even if I die, I don’t want to forget it, and I cherish it because I can’t.

… … If you give up like this. Because you are the only one feeling unfair.

There were noble people in life like mine.

Even in a life that was so twisted, there was someone precious to me.

There was a time when someone who could be considered a teacher approached me first.

… … Because you are my disciple.

A person who was always cold and cold to everyone.

Of course, he was harsh and harsh to me, but he had a soft side that he only showed to me sometimes.

You were always that kind of person.

… … I can endure it. certainly.

I remember the faint smile on his lips as he looked at me entering the operating room.

I remember the clear eyes of a child looking at me while lying in the hospital room.

I can never forget it.

… … I must overcome this. Come meet me.

Theia.

Theia Itsil.

My old teacher was here.

“–Sit.”

“… … yes?”

“Please sit down.”

The teaching assistant pointed at me and waved his palm downward.

“Oh, yes.”

I came to my senses late.

As soon as I sat down, the teaching assistant spoke.

“The next College Board meeting is Wednesday. Take care of your condition and look good. We are now disbanded.”

The road back to national university from Endex. Inside the luxury limousine ‘Aurus Phantom SWB’, Distinguished Professor Theia Isil is working. Today we are reviewing the Endex College Board assignment video.

“… … “Is it a spectrum?”

[bang–!]

A guy hitting a prism with a golf club. A scratch on the surface of a prism engraved by that simple, ignorant physical force.

It’s fascinating. If you look at it very broadly, it could be said to be a change in thinking.

Although prisms are weaker against physical forces than magical powers, no one would think of hitting them.

However, it may not be the result of ‘strength’ alone. Even if the golf club is made of hemp fiber, it will not have enough durability to withstand that level of impact.

In other words, it means “spectrum.”

At least involved in ‘objects’.

“amazing.”

Again, fascinating.

That’s it.

There is no special personality visible.

To begin with, Endex has many talents such as Gerken, Solliet, Elise, and Laye, and there are countless talents worth looking at not only in Endex but also in other magic high schools.

Theia doesn’t have enough time to dig into a D- grade student.

“… … .”

Nevertheless, Theia silently lifted a piece of paper.

It was a document containing Sion Askal’s personal information.

A poor resume with only one page and no qualifications. But therein lies the reason she watches him.

[Origin: Libra Nursery]

[Future Hope: Libra’s Guardian Knight]

Libra.

Theia quietly closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and clenched her hands. She rested her head on the backrest and looked out her window.

“Libra… … .”

A senior born to Libra’s knight, raised in Libra’s orphanage, and aspiring to become Libra’s guardian knight.

She twisted her lips. She had an expression that seemed like a mockery.

“You guys. “You can see it from places like this.”

A feeling buried deep in one’s heart that one pushes out.

Theia Ithil hates Libra. To her, the most disgusting and abominable being is that miserable family.

Also, I dare to be proud. The scale of this resentment is greater than anyone else on the continent.

“It’s the same.”

She lit the document on fire. I quietly looked at Sion Askal’s face fading from the corner.

For quite some time, until my palms were full of ash.
