Episode 194
For the first time, I desperately sought answers from my student.
“So, I told you.”
Mary looked into my eyes and smiled brightly and said,
“Ray, do whatever you want.”
“Do whatever you want? how?”
“I do whatever I want, so you can’t ask me. “Ray’s concerns are resolved in his own way.”
“Are you a child? “The world is not simple enough for me to do as I please.”
“no. Would you be able to do it, Ray? “He is a very strong and very versatile mage.”
“No matter how well you use magic, there are some things that are impossible.”
“But Ray, you will do it.”
“… do you trust me “There’s no guarantee that my solution will be right.”
“If it’s the method Ray chose, everything will be fine, even if it’s not the best. “Because it’s always been that way.”
“I can’t believe everything will be okay.”
“Everything has been fine so far. Even when me and Kia were kidnapped, during the exam, and even when we defeated the dragon! So it will be okay in the future.”
“that… … .”
“More than anything, Ray, you need to be self-aware! Ray is the ‘strongest mage’ in this country. There is no need for Ray to worry about this in the first place. To borrow something from what Dan said before… Ray is like the main character of a novel. But he is not an ordinary growing protagonist.”
“What do you mean?”
“Ray is the so-called all-round protagonist! “It’s a fraudulent character that can make readers say, ‘Isn’t this character too biased by the author?’”
“… … .”
“This is someone who is incredibly strong and capable of countless things. “No one would understand why someone like that would think such foolish things.”
Mary giggled innocently and smiled a freckled smile.
“So now the time to worry is over! If this is enough, readers will also be frustrated. So, let’s shake off all your worries! Ray, you can do whatever you want. “No one will be able to stop it.”
Mary said, spreading her hands.
Do whatever you want.
For some, those words will be permission to run around as much as they want, but for others, it will be a curse that will cause them to fall into endless worries.
But at least for me, it was neither the former nor the latter.
“Would it have helped?”
“… Let me ask you one last question. If what I choose… What if my intentions are impure? If I have malicious intent… … .”
“then… … .”
Mary confidently answered my last question.
“I don’t know!”
“… “Isn’t the last one too shabby?”
“That’s right! “Is there anyone in this country who can stop Ray?”
There’s no way anyone can stop me.
No matter what I choose… … .
But even after hearing those results, Mary’s expression did not show fear towards me.
No, this is… … .
“But I’ll believe it! “Just like when you defeated the dragon!”
‘… It’s about trust. Just like her parents did. I get help like this from her parents and from her herself.’
I stood up without thinking.
And then I tried to leave the cafe.
Mary didn’t catch me or ask me where I was going.
I spoke to Mary without looking back.
Even I felt like my voice had become lighter.
“Hey, Mary.”
“yes?”
“You have talent as a counselor. you’re good.”
“Hehe~”
“Is that a dream?”
“It’s not confirmed yet.”
“If you do it, you will do well. Later, you can put up a placard saying, ‘I have a record of counseling with Innocent Ray Vallière.’”
“Aha!”
“And one more thing. “You said I was the main character, but I think you are more like the main character.”
“… … !”
With those words, I left the cafe.
Because my heart felt lighter, I didn’t see Mary’s final expression… It’s definitely not a bad look.
‘ruler… Then let’s do what our counselor said, what I want. Do whatever you want, as much as the student trusts you. Like the invincible all-round protagonist of a novel who writes things to suit his own taste by adding various settings. What can I do? I am the strongest. ‘Who’s going to stop me?’
* * *
The next morning, Ray did not come, so Diego took charge of the ordinance instead.
Mary guessed that the reason Ray didn’t come in the morning was because she told him to ‘do whatever you want,’ and just when she thought her advice was wrong, he came in.
Ray came too late and Diego had already almost finished the ordinance.
Ray, who came in late, didn’t feel sorry and shamelessly came in and nodded at Diego and the students who had wide eyes.
“continue.”
“… Why did you, the teacher, come now? … .”
“I have something to do.”
“Suddenly what… … .”
“Continue with the ordinance.”
“Ugh… … .”
Diego didn’t like Ray’s shameless attitude, but perhaps he thought it was better than looking listless like yesterday, he sighed, shook his head, and continued with the ordinance.
Ray, who was watching him conduct the ordinance next to him, smiled slightly at Mary, who had counseled him yesterday.
His smile seemed to say not just gratitude, but ‘Leave it to me now.’
Once the assembly was over, the students began preparing to move classes as usual.
At that time, Ray brought the students’ attention by clapping his hands and said with a grin.
“Kia, Mika will stay after class today.”
“yes?”
“… why?”
Kiah is confused and Mika is questioning.
The students looked at them with suspicious expressions when Ray suddenly asked the two students who were ruining the class atmosphere to stay.
“If you want to stay, stay. “The teacher told me to stay, so I had to stay.”
“… … .”
Mika looks at the teacher with sad eyes.
Kia glanced at Mika and immediately nodded once.
After finishing what he had to say, Ray left the class as if satisfied with the girls’ answers.
Other students were worried that Ray might threaten the two students.
At first, I thought that these students would threaten me after seeing them for a semester, but when I saw Ray’s confident, evil boy smile at the beginning of the first semester, I started to worry.
“I guess it’ll be okay… … .”
Mary was worried like the other students, but secretly she was a little excited to see how he would reconcile the two.
* * *
After the funeral, the other students went home and the two stayed behind as instructed by Ray.
But the place was far away.
Even though Ray, the teacher, had not come in after calling them out, Mika and Kia were looking in different directions with their chins in each other’s hands.
Kia, who had a weak heart, was secretly looking at Mika… … .
As I waited for Ray, maintaining a cold attitude, it took 20 minutes for the teacher to come in.
“female.”
“… … .”
Even though Ray came in and greeted them again, the two students remained silent.
Despite the two’s cold reactions, Ray stood at the teacher’s table as if nothing had happened.
“Now, I hope you all know, but… Everyone in our class is watching you right now. Even the kids from the 12 families and the bad-tempered Lumière.”
“that… is it so?”
“It’s a big deal.”
Kia feels sorry to her classmates after Ray’s words, and Mika looks upset.
Ray, who glanced at their reactions, put both elbows on the table and spoke.
“First, I would like to briefly listen to the circumstances of the two of you. We’ve already heard about Kia’s situation, and what about you, Mika? “Is there anything you want to tell me?”
“no. “It was my mistake.”
“Hmm~ If you did something wrong, isn’t it right that you should apologize?”
“I don’t like it.”
Mika turned his head.
Kia, perhaps annoyed by Mika’s attitude, turned her head in the opposite direction of Mika, as if she had no intention of apologizing further.
Ray, who saw the two of them, said with his arms crossed confidently that he knew that would happen.
“As a teacher, I have to reconcile with you… If I suddenly tell you to reconcile, will there be reconciliation? So, I came up with a way to reconcile.”
“how?”
“There’s no need to do that.”
“ah? ah… I… me too! “I don’t want to reconcile with Mika either!”
Kia tries to ask how to reconcile, but quickly changes after hearing Mika’s answer.
‘hmm. I don’t know about Mika, but I guess Kia is there. ‘He’s such a gentle guy.’
Ray held out a page of today’s newspaper between the two girls.
And then he said with a grin.
“It’s homework. You two will solve this.”
“… yes?”
“… … .”
Kia looked embarrassed, and Mika looked elsewhere, but the sound of clicking his tongue was heard.
On the paper Ray turned over, there was this written in capital-sized letters:
[Serial pickpocketing occurred within the Itaris Islands. The culprit is still in the system and has been witnessed]
Kia looked back and forth between the newspaper and Ray, then wrinkled her pretty face.
“Yes?!”
Kia shook her head vigorously and said.
“I… It’s absolutely impossible! How can we solve this on our own!”
“For reference, the period is one week. “If we don’t catch the culprit, you will both be expelled.”
“… omg?”
“… “Can a single teacher expel a student at will?”
When Mika criticized him with a pouty face, Ray mentioned a previous incident with a playful face.
“Did you take the first semester exam the way I told you?”
“that… Yes?”
“… no way.”
“That’s the theory. “If you don’t complete this homework, I will expose you for what you did.”
“You told me!?”
“haha. “I don’t know.”
Kia was frustrated, muttering, ‘How can this be?’
Mika glanced at Kia and spoke to Ray.
“Even if you say you’re going to file a complaint now, there’s no real harm to me. At best, it will only result in one more failure.”
“Now that I think about it, you didn’t fail the first exam in the first semester, so you’re still in good hands?”
“yes.”
“hmm… Even if I say that if this is revealed, the other kids in my class will also avoid it… Are you saying it doesn’t matter?”
“yes.”
‘Hmm. ‘It will come out like this.’
However, as if Ray had already thought of Mika’s short answer, he handed her a thick book from the school library.
“This is a book that contains the rules of this school.”
“So? “I have never broken that rule.”
“Not even once?”
“yes.”
“Read page 155 of that book.”
As Ray spoke with his chin lifted, Mika opened the book to page 155 with a skeptical look and began to read it at a fast pace.
Then her gaze stopped at a certain point.
“… Teachers have the authority to punish students who display poor behavior during class. The criteria for poor teaching attitude are left entirely to the judgment of the teacher, and the level of punishment is stipulated below. From a minimum of school service to a maximum of suspension and expulsion… … .”
“Regarding poor class attitude, it is entirely based on the teacher’s judgment… In other words, as a teacher, I can do whatever I want.”
“But to recklessly punish someone when there is no crime… … .”
“You sleeping during school hours. “I think you’ve put up with a lot for me, right?”
“… … .”
Mika was silent as if he had nothing to say.
