I Became the Academy's Disabled Student-Chapter 357: Old Relationship (1)

Lee Ha-yul’s blatant jealousy disappeared in a day.

Now, even when Atra taught Daera with care, she didn’t puff out her cheeks, and she didn’t cling to Atra and throw a tantrum.

“Master, wasn’t the technique just now okay?”

“That magic has a really weird process of manifestation. It manifests mixed in with the movements, so it’s hard to tell the signs. It’s a good technique.”

“Hehe.”

Yesterday’s jealousy was completely released during the night.

Lee Ha-yul’s lips were curled into a faint smile.

The corners of his lips were more blatant than usual. His surroundings were radiating with positive emotions that made everything sparkle.

“... But. Isn’t that magic the technique that blew off an arm in the past?”

“Huh... That... I’ve fixed it all now. It’s true. It’s safe now...”

[Truth]

[No lies]

“Hmm... ”

Atra smiled as well.

Her skin was so shiny and smooth that it was a stark contrast to yesterday.

Her golden eyes, looking down at Lee Ha-yool, were filled with a sense of fire, and her affection seemed to be tangible and overflowing.

“... I guess it’s not a lie. But you were practicing that technique behind her back, right? Huh?”

“Bae-ee...”

Atra pinched Lee Ha-yool’s cheek while pretending to look stern, and Lee Ha-yool smiled bashfully while being grabbed.

Their relationship as a teacher and student seemed very close.

Not even a day had passed, but the atmosphere felt noticeably closer and brighter than yesterday.

Those who met Atra on business would kiss and ask if there had been any happy occasions.

“... ... ”

Dae-ra, who had finished her share of sparring, made a trembling expression as she watched the scene.

It wasn’t like Iha-yul was boiling with jealousy.

Atra and Iha-yul. Both were precious to Dae-ra.

Atra was Dae-ra’s guardian and teacher, and Iha-yul was Dae-ra’s benefactor and cute disciple who saved her from hell.

How could two people like that feel so close?

‘Ah! Isn’t there some kind of magic that erases memories?’

The problem is that I know why the mood between them changed.

Dae-ra frowned and caressed her eyes. The sudden split vision made her see things she shouldn’t have.

The split vision and the sight that came into her eyes were so shocking that it was too late to cut them off.

I saw something I shouldn’t have. When I recalled that stimulating memory, a red hot flush rose up the back of my neck.

- Dae-ra, you’re not feeling so good today. Is there something strange?

- Oh, it’s nothing...

I was so worried that I got a look from Atra.

It wasn't a legitimate reason, but it was true that the state was strange, and the intensity of my training had decreased.

[Daera's secretary]

"Huh!"

[?]

My body jumped at the sound that came from behind me. Lee Ha-yool, who had come over and spoken to me, tilted his head.

[Sister? Why are you doing that?]

"Ah, haha... That, that's just it. I was surprised when I was suddenly called while I was thinking about something else."

[Ah, sorry for calling while you were concentrating]

"Eh, hey! Why are you apologizing for something like that? I'm just kidding. So, what's wrong, Priest?"

Daera tried her best to hide her embarrassment while answering.

Feeling the awkwardness, Lee Ha-yool tilted his head the other way, but he didn't dig into the trivial details.

[You said you were going to give me a gift last time. I think I'll need Priest's blood to make it. Can I have a little bit of it?]

"Make it? Blood?"

Daera, who had been smiling awkwardly, blinked. She had thought it was because she was given a gift, but now she found out that she was making it herself.

And her own blood was in the gift?

‘I think it was the magic part...’

The comfortable and sturdy clothes and useful tools she had received from the other side.

They said that Lee Ha-yul had made them all himself. Her priest was skilled in both dexterity and manufacturing techniques.

Since he was also skilled in magic, the gift he was making might require blood.

“Right now?”

[Yes]

“Yes, okay.”

Daera held out her arm casually. She didn’t feel any sense of caution.

Blood shouldn’t be given away easily. This is even more true in modern times when supernatural powers have developed. There is room for blood that is carelessly leaked to be misused.

However, the one who requested blood was Lee Ha-yul. Since she trusted that he wouldn’t misuse the blood, she held out her arm without hesitation.

[Hehe, look forward to it! I’ll make it really amazing for you]

Feeling that trust, Lee Ha-yool’s smile brightened. Dae-ra slightly averted her gaze at the beautiful smile that resembled a blooming sunflower.

- Swish...

The wings of the sky gently wrapped around Dae-ra’s arm.

Immediately after, a slight tickling sensation occurred on her wrist, and a bright red dot appeared on the wing robe wrapped around it.

“Huh?”

Dae-ra’s eyes widened. When she examined her freed arm, there was not a single scratch on her wrist.

On the contrary, the wing robe was still bright red.

“What’s that? Did you just drain the blood?”

[Yes, you can use this to draw it out like a syringe]

“Does hygiene and such not matter? Don’t you have to store it well?”

[It’s okay thanks to the artifact’s cleaning function. I'm also continuing to cast a separate purification spell]

"Wow, that's really useful?"

The more I looked at those winged robes, the more they seemed to have so many uses.

They can be used for both offense and defense, as a blanket, and as a tent when spread out. Now, they've even got a cleaning function as a syringe.

[Hehe, it might take some time, so please look forward to it]

As I recalled the drawing I was editing in my head, I suddenly imagined Daera's reaction when she received the gift.

Lee Ha-yool, who covered her mouth that was naturally going up with her winged robes, smiled faintly. Her eyes, which were as delicate as a fox's, were clearly visible.

Daera, who witnessed that scene from the front, carefully opened her mouth.

"... Priest, are you doing that on purpose?"

[?]

After collecting Daera's blood.

I asked my master to finish the afternoon training early and left.

It was because I had an appointment that I had made a few days ago.

After washing up, I walked to the meeting place.

The destination was a moderately sized cafe, a private room where no one would be interested.

“Ha-yul, are you here?”

There was a guest in the private room that I arrived at.

Blue-green hair and eyes. Lee Ha-sol, who was caressing a cup of water, greeted me with a smile.

[... Hello, Lee Ha-sol]

I had something to talk about with Lee Ha-sol before, so I decided to make an appointment.

We often talked through text messages, but I think it’s better to talk face to face.

I observed my surroundings and sat down across from Lee Ha-sol.

“Yes, this is the first time we’ve met since that day. How have you been?”

[Yes, yes... I’ve been doing well]

“Here. It’s a cool spring day, but my throat is parched because I’m walking around outside.”

[Thank you. [I’ll drink it well]

Despite my awkward greeting, Lee Ha-sol kept smiling and handed me the water.

He calmly observed me as I gulped down the water.

‘It’s awkward...’

I could sense the complexity and familiarity in the gaze.

I thought about it and brought up ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ a topic that just happened to come to mind.

[It’s the middle of the free semester, aren’t you very busy?]

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

The first semester has just started, so it’s the free semester.

It’s a time when you can take a lot of classes regardless of your grade.

That’s why there are many students who are busy wandering around the campus in the afternoon.

This didn’t apply to me, who had been trained by my teacher during my major classes.

‘You said the schedule is tight during the free semester. They said it’s especially so for freshmen who just entered the school.’

Lee Ha-sol, who sat across from me, was a freshman who just entered the school. She was very busy during the free semester.

“That’s right. I’ve been moving around here and there since lunch.”

[Even though they’re all densely packed in the study area, it’s a hassle to go to each one. You must have had a hard time.]

“But it wasn’t so difficult because they’re all clearly marked on the map.”

Fortunately, the topic was appropriate, and Lee Ha-sol also actively engaged in the conversation.

Rather than saying he engaged, it would be more accurate to say he led the conversation.

He actively approached me, who was already very unsociable and awkward, because I was watching his every move.

“... ... ”

[... ... ]

But the conversation couldn’t go on forever.

Eventually, the conversation was cut off for a moment, and an awkward silence fell again.

“Maybe...”

In the midst of such awkwardness, Lee Ha-sol carefully asked, placing both hands neatly on her knees.

“Have you ever had any memories that came to mind?”

The complicated emotions in her lime-green eyes. While anticipating the answer, she wiggled her hands in her eyes that felt faint hope.

[... Yes, not yet...]

“I see...”

The faint hope disappeared. My shoulders naturally narrowed.

How to recall memories. It seems possible, but it’s not certain to do it right away, and the situation is a bit complicated.

“... Huh! That’s right. Lost memories won’t come back easily.”

Lee Ha-sol, who had been depressed for a moment, took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders. Soon, she tapped her smartwatch and a hologram appeared.

[... This is?]

The hologram that appeared was a photo.

“A photo from when I was young. Back then, I didn’t have a smartwatch, but I had a basic smartphone, but the photo still remained.”

In the photo, there was a young Lee Ha-sol. Of course, a much smaller body than now, with black hair and eyes.

“The color didn’t change much. It changed after awakening my attribute ability... at most, one or two years?”

Even though I hadn’t opened my eyes, Lee Ha-sol saw through the question I had asked and answered.

[... I’m there too]

“That’s why I found this photo.”

I was in the photo too.

Black hair and eyes. A face frozen like a machine. Unfocused eyes turned toward the camera, held in Lee Ha-sol’s arms.

A face that’s different but similar to the current one. If we look at the impression, it feels like someone else.

‘... Is this how you’re trying to recall past memories?’

I figured out Lee Ha-sol’s intentions.

This is how you stimulate past memories and make them come to mind. It’s a common method, and an effective one.

“Then you forgot everything you said back then... ”

While I was calmly examining the photo, Lee Ha-sol, who was also staring at the photo with hazy eyes, spoke.

A soliloquy full of melancholy. I bit my lips at the dull emotion, but then I asked, sipping water because I couldn’t ignore it.

[Um... what did I say at that time?]

Lee Ha-sol shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing.

“You said you’d marry me when you were big.”

- 뿝

[겍]

The water in her mouth leaked out.

“...Actually, I’m joking.”

Lee Ha-sol, who was watching my reaction, giggled and handed me a tissue.
