The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 78



Only Krnovel

We arrived about 30 minutes before the auction time. As expected from the Lofty Church building, it was splendid.

“I am Aegis, in charge of guiding the auction. Please call me at your convenience.”

When we arrived at the semicircular building, someone came out to greet us. A man wearing a neat suit introduced himself politely.

I nodded calmly. Winter bowed his back.

“Let me check your tickets.”

Winter took out the ticket from her bosom at the words of the guide who smiled kindly.

The guide, who had checked the blue admission ticket, bowed politely once again.

“You are the auction item provider. Let me guide you first. Come this way.”

We entered the building under the polite guidance of a guide.

The beautiful white space symbolizing the Lofty Church was not overly flashy and had a unique formality.

“It must have cost a lot of money.”

The decorations that looked precious at first glance were a delight to the eyes. I was amazed at the financial ability to maintain such things while donating the most.

“Thanks to the believers’ faith.”

The guide answered with a pleased face. His smile was full of pride.

Winter, who was not at an auction for the first time, slapped me with a slightly disapproving look.

“If you look at me too much, you look down on me.”

“Oh, right.”

Winter spoke carefully, as if she was giving very important information. He chuckled at that and patted his back.

“Wow!”

“Did other guys look down on you because you did that when you came here before?”

Winter, who almost fell over due to the strong force, glared with axe eyes. She spat out her words without even looking.

“Ah… … That’s not it!”

“Oh, dear. You are now the only priest of the Anaye Order. You can be a little more confident.”

She pouted and complained, but said nothing more.

Winter, who was momentarily surprised by my words, smiled bashfully. I could see that her slightly stiff shoulders had relaxed.

“This is room 47. “Relevant personnel are always on standby in the hallway, so please come to us at any time if you need anything.”

“thank you.”

“There are 26 minutes left until the auction.”

After the receptionist left, I quickly sat down on the sofa. The room the guide showed me to was a luxurious room with an open wall on one side.

Perhaps because the furniture was an expensive luxury item, I felt comfortable and comfortable.

“Seniors. “Can I get you something to drink?”

“Do you have anything?”

The table set up on one side of the room was filled with various drinks and desserts.

“Oh, there is alcohol and soft drinks.”

“Hmm. I’ll eat it.”

I politely declined Winter’s offer and brought him a bottle of light brown whiskey.

Winter’s face, which was holding various desserts, became monstrous.

“Would you like to drink during the day?”

I didn’t have any good memories of alcohol. Rather, I hated it.

When I lived in modern times, I lived like a drunkard due to a rare disease and had to experience many absurdities.

“Because it’s a rare opportunity. Alcohol is expensive in places like this.”

However, it was a little different when I came here and became sober.

I felt a strange sense of conquest, and I secretly liked the unique taste of alcohol.

“Well, you’re not even drunk.”

Winter reluctantly nodded. She brought a fruity dessert with orange juice.

He then handed me a glass of whiskey and a few pitchers.

“Aren’t you going to eat any side dishes?”

“No, I brought something else.”

Winter asked curiously as she watched me push away the tray with snacks.

I smiled and took something out from inside my priest’s cassock.

“Ah. Really. That again.”

The so-called ‘dried garlic’ has appeared. Winter buried her face in her hands while looking at the dried garlic.

I put the crumbly garlic in my mouth and drank the whiskey. It went surprisingly well with the whiskey.

“But it’s a little dark.”

“It’s for concentration. “Look over there.”

Winter, who was happily eating a macaron, took out the hurriedly. I pointed to the open front without saying anything.

Height of 3 floors. A huge fleet of ships below. Most of the lights were illuminating the fleet. Perhaps that is the space where auction items are introduced.

“… … “I know.”

Winter answered bluntly and then began to look around.

“Seniors.”

“why.”

“I’m asking just in case. “It’s the complete opposite side, right?”

Winter suddenly pointed somewhere with a serious face.

“Yes. We’re number 47, so we’re almost at the end.”

The place Winter pointed to was completely opposite to where we were.

“Isn’t that seat number 11?”

“I think it’s something like that.”

“But why does it seem like our eyes are meeting each other? “It must be my mistake, right?”

“no. “We are encountering each other.”

I, whose eyesight is relatively better than Winter’s, recognized the face of the person looking at us from seat number 11.

The turquoise eyes were looking at number 47, the seat we had been assigned.

“uh. It’s going out. “Do you know each other?”

“No. He was handsome.”

I shook my head. I didn’t remember a man that handsome.

“… … Can you see my face? “On this street?”

“Can’t you see it?”

Winter looked at me for a moment with a shocked face and then shook her head. Soon, I turned my attention to the snack.

“Well, that could be possible.”

It’s like you just have to figure it out regardless of whether anyone is looking at you or not. She wanted to fully enjoy the luxurious desserts she had been enjoying for so long.

The amount of food he ate was unusual, as if he was planning to eat dinner.

“Hey. If you eat like that, you’ll get fat… … Yeah. Now that I think about it, getting fat seems like a good thing.”

“… … What does that mean?”

Winter was very light, though. He squinted his eyes and looked at her. Winter flinched once and froze in that position.

“Why, why?”

Height: late 140 cm. And weight: less than 40 kg. Not sure, but probably close.

It wasn’t a body that looked healthy from any angle.

“Live strong like everyone else. a little.”

“yes?”

Women in this world are relatively tall, but considering that, Winter was very short.

Of course, the vice-captain and Berenice like that, but I wish I had gained a little more weight.

“You don’t even weigh 40kg?”

“… … It works.”

Winter, who flinched at my words, answered with a pout.

“No way. Eat some. You need to get healthy.”

“Because you’re healthy! You’re energetic!”

She huffed and ate a macaron. I also ate a lot of sweet things.

Even Warden, who likes sweets, couldn’t eat many macarons. Now that I think about it, did Winter like sweets?

“Did you like sweets?”

“Uh… … Do you like it?”

The time I spent with Winter was something I couldn’t ignore. Plus, if you think about the journey ahead, you will spend a lot more time than that.

It would be good to know your tastes in food. When I think about it, I don’t have many memories of eating something together.

“What food do you dislike?”

“I hate anything with garlic in it.”

“… … Do you know how good garlic is for your health? A weak guy like you. There is no such thing as immunity in the body. So, you should eat garlic.”

“I’m completely lively… … .”

-smart.

We were chatting happily when suddenly there was a knock on the door. We stopped bickering and looked at the door.

Who are you? I don’t know. What should I do? Just tell them to come. Winter frowned slightly at the conversation shared through their eyes.

“Come on in.”

At Winter’s clanging words, the door slowly began to open. At this time, in this place, someone would come here.

The only person that comes to mind is Berenice, but he couldn’t have come so early. Berenice had a more lazy and laid-back personality than he seemed.

“hmm?”

The person who came in was completely unexpected.

“hello?”

He was a very handsome man. A cool-looking young man with blond hair and blue-green eyes. He was definitely the guy in room 11.

“and.”

Winter stood in front of the face and let out an exclamation of admiration. I was no different. It was even more amazing when I saw it up close.

I thought I was confident in my looks, but I couldn’t even hand out my business card in front of this young man.

“This is absurd.”

“……Seniors.”

A hollow laugh escaped my lips. Winter drew my attention to the rude remark.

A look that would make even Winter gape. I didn’t get this feeling even from the princess.

“… … Are you there?”

“Seniors. “Speak up.”

“Who are you?”

“… … .”

Winter warned me, but I didn’t correct my words. Winter had a somewhat relieved look on her face.

As I narrowed my eyes and looked, Winter quietly gave me a signal. This is the priestly uniform of the Karata Church. Why does someone like that come to us? I don’t know.

“haha. “You don’t remember.”

“yes?”

The young man smiled cheerfully as he saw us exchanging fierce glances. I was taken aback by what he said.

“Do we know each other?”

It was as if we had met once before. It was my first time seeing such a handsome face.

Winter’s gaze was quite harsh. I think I know you, senior. If you don’t know me, are you a student at the academy? ah.

“Do you remember the attack incident not long ago?”

“Of course you understand, right?”

“At that time, my senior saved me. “The first year students who were protesting in the lounge and me.”

Now that you mention it, I can’t quite remember. Now that I think about it, I remember seeing a handsome blond guy while doing rescue work before catching Coco, the mid-boss in Episode 1.

The guy who led the first-year students to the shelter as a representative from the lounge where we first rescued them. His name is definitely there.

“Your name is Sake? Was it?”

“This is Dike Justia.”

Winter’s eyes turned fierce. I made an embarrassed face. You may not remember people’s names.

“I tried to say thank you separately, but it wasn’t possible. I came here to say thank you even now. “I was really grateful back then.”

I was naturally embarrassed by the overly polite greeting. He must have been a first-year combat student.

Does wearing a priest’s robe like this mean you are aspiring to become a paladin?

“Paladin?”

“yes. I want to become a paladin. I am a member of the Karata Church, albeit to a limited extent. “I am a double major in the Department of Combat and the Department of Divinity.”

Dike’s face was filled with goodwill, as if he was very grateful for what had happened at that time. It was embarrassing, as it was not something he had done with particularly good intentions.

While I was still looking at that face, a pretty good idea occurred to me.

“Junior.”

“yes?”

Suddenly Winter pulled my sleeve. I looked up wondering why and saw that he was asking for my ear.

“You had a strange thought.”

“How did you know?”

Winter sensed it like a ghost. Winter closed her eyes tightly at the strange answer.

It was the face of someone who had given up on something.

“Junior. I guess you’re more senior than me when it comes to religion.”

“Uh. I’ve been involved in it for about three years.”

Do you think you might have something to suck on?
