Academy’s Second Seat

“uh… … .”

I ran into a problem.

Luna stared at me with sullen eyes.

Luna and Lee.

These two are completely different people.

Objectively speaking, it was difficult to compare the two, and subjectively speaking, it was difficult to distinguish between the two.

Luna gives a pure and warm feeling.

Rie has an alluring atmosphere and charm that seems to attract people.

The two had different personalities, appearances, and pursuits.

As a result, I couldn’t rank the academy the way the academy grades grades.

So what choice should I make?

However, the more difficult the problem, the more people overlooked it.

This was actually a question with an answer.

I made a decision right away and spoke up.

“I think Luna is prettier.”

Lee is far away and cannot hear this sound.

So, I asked a question, and it was right to choose Luna in front of me.

“Suck… … .”

After hearing that, Luna suddenly turned her head.

And he quietly opened his mouth without showing me his face.

“Go, go, thank you!”

For some reason, it felt like Luna was embarrassed when she looked like that.

“Hmm… … that, yes.”

I also turned my head and cleared my throat to answer.

It was a time when silence was about to flow into such an awkward atmosphere.

The magic lights that were illuminating the surroundings started to go out one by one.

And only one light at the top turned on.

The lamp lit only one side, and Astina was standing there.

Astina was wearing a casual yet gorgeous dress with a mix of blue and white.

“Are you all enjoying yourself?”

Astina said with a smile.

and continued talking.

“Everyone has worked hard over the past year. It has been a year of many events. A lot of things happened to me, and a lot of things happened to the academy.”

Astina spoke with emotion, as if reminiscing about what had happened.

“Even though I was the student council president who was lacking a lot, the professors and the student council who helped me during my one-year term—”

Astina continued her feelings for a year like that.

When I saw something like that, I felt a lot of things.

As I was looking at Astina like that, my eyes met Astina, who was turning her head.

Astina just stopped her head and smiled at me.

“really… … thank you.”

Then he looked at me and said his final thanks.

I wasn’t sure if he recognized me because the lights were off where I was, but I still felt like he was looking at me.

Astina turned her head and looked at everyone.

“Now, please enjoy the last banquet of the year.”

Astina said that, the lights in the banquet hall were turned on again.

“Something is a little stingy.”

When I said that, Luna nodded whether she agreed.

“Rudy.”

Then someone called my name.

“Uh, have you done everything for Lee?”

I saw Lee walking towards me.

However, something was strange.

He was staring at me like he was mad.

“… … ?”

I looked at Lee with a puzzled face.

“eww… … .”

Rie came towards me with an angry face.

And after coming close to me, he suddenly started pounding my stomach.

“Hey, why! what!”

It wasn’t that painful of a fist, but when I suddenly started hitting it, I couldn’t help but panic.

“Just right!”

Lee looked at me and shouted.

I panicked and covered the fist with my arm.

“Uh-huh, stop it?”

When I stopped the boat with my arm, Lee started beating me at random.

“… … ????”

I had no choice but to be beaten by Rie with a bewildered face.

“Why are you doing this again?”

Astina looked at me and Rie and approached with a sigh.

Rie said, looking at Astina with courage.

“There is such a thing.”

When Lee said that, I was even more suspicious.

“What the hell is that… … ??”

what did i do wrong… … .

“Anyway, I’ll take Rudy Astria for a while.”

Astina suddenly grabbed my back and said,

“Oh no!”

“no!”

Then Luna and Lie shouted at Astina.

“ha… … ‘Cause it’s been a while I have something to talk about. It has to do with work.”

When Astina said that, the momentum of Luna and Rie died a little.

I asked Astina with her neck caught.

“Is that what you said last time?”

Astina nodded slightly and put me down.

“Follow me.”

I silently followed Astina’s words.

After walking a bit, I saw a terrace in the corner of the banquet hall.

It was covered by a curtain, so it looked like a space for a private conversation.

As Astina went near it, the waiter who was blocking the front of the terrace opened the curtain and allowed her to go inside.

“Come in.”

“Did you reserve a separate space?”

Astina nodded at my question.

“What the hell are you doing?”

When I asked Astina, Astina stiffened her expression for a moment and sat down on a chair on the terrace.

“Where should I start talking? … .”

Astina spoke to herself like that, and quietly opened her mouth.

“Tomorrow I will return to my hometown.”

Astina continued.

“First of all, you know I won’t be at the academy next semester, right?”

“ah… … .”

3rd year 1st semester.

This period was the internship period.

A period of pre-experience after graduating from the academy.

Of course, I could have studied further at the academy if I didn’t have a definite future, but Astina was a person with a definite future.

Heir to the Persian Marquis.

“During the first semester of next year, I plan to return to my hometown and take classes in succession.”

I knew about it, but hearing it directly from Astina gave me a strange feeling.

Astina disappears for more than half a year from tomorrow.

Thinking that the person I saw every day suddenly disappeared, I felt empty already.

“Sit there for now.”

Astina pointed to the chair next to me.

I sat on the chair and looked at Astina.

Then Astina smiled softly.

“Honestly, I think you, Li, and Luna and others have a promising future. Not because of your status or anything like that, but because of your magic or other work.”

I scratched my head after hearing Astina’s words.

“thank you… … .”

Astina shook her head at my greeting and continued her conversation.

“But, you guys are so caught up in weird things. Aside from the Luna abduction case that happened last time, there have been other incidents.”

“Ahaha… … .”

I looked at Astina and smiled awkwardly.

“No matter how great your abilities are, there are many stronger people in the world than you, and you are still young. So, things may happen that you can’t handle.”

Astina sighed and said.

“It feels like I left the child by the water, thinking I haven’t been there for a while.”

I smiled at Astina with a worried face.

“There were a lot of things like that, but didn’t you overcome them all?”

“Whatever it is.”

I beat my chest.

“You don’t have to worry. No matter what happens, we will persevere, develop and see you again.”

Then, a smile appeared on Astina’s face, which was full of worry.

“Yeah, saying that makes me a little relieved.”

Me and Astina looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

“I have more to say than this.”

“… … yes?”

Astina said so and looked briefly at the entrance to the terrace.

Then he made sure that no one was nearby and opened his mouth.

“Homecoming Day, do you remember when I received the oracle of a saint?”

At Astina’s words, I widened my eyes.

oracle of the saints.

Surely Serena’s oracle should have come down… … .

However, Astina didn’t say anything.

“At that time, there was actually another oracle that came down.”

“ah… … .”

I completely forgot about it.

Is it something to do with Serena?

However, the sound he heard was unexpected.

“The oracle I hid was to beware of you.”

“… … yes?”

I tilted my head.

to watch out for me?

The oracle that should have come down was supposed to tell you to watch out for Serena.

By the way… … The trust has changed?

“Originally, I planned to stop you from happening, but now I can’t while I’m away from the academy.”

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t open my mouth.

I never imagined that the trust would change.

“Rudy Astria. I don’t know how this oracle will happen, but you manage you. So that you can be prepared in case something happens to you. Whether you ask Lie or Luna, make a plan ahead of time.”

Astina looked at me with straight eyes and said.

“Never, never die.”

Astina said sincerely.

If I didn’t know anything, I would have joked, ‘How do people die in the academy?’ But I knew the future, so I couldn’t play such a prank.

I was just answering with sincerity.

“I will not die.”

As I said that, I started to hear music from outside.

Then Astina cautiously got up from her seat.

I looked at Astina like that.

“Then, would you like to dance a song?”

Astina reached out to me as if a man asked to dance.

Seeing Astina like that, I smiled.

“I can’t dance.”

“Just do it.”

Astina looked at me and said.

It didn’t feel like he was really staring at me, but it felt like a mix of playfulness.

“good.”

I got up and took Astina’s hand.

And Astina put a hand on my shoulder, and I put my hand on Astina’s back.

It was a bit awkward, but I was able to dance to a certain extent by following Astina’s movements.

Astina looked up at me with an awkward expression on her face.

“I’ll come see you later when I have a chance.”

Astina smiled.
