43 Tension Growing Up

When taking care of Gorge and his allies was done I came straight back to my room.

As I was on my way I reflected on my actions.

I did it again, I let that side of mine take over again. The side I try to keep hidden under the mask of a normal teenage boy, once again that side surfaced.

The one I'm talking about is that time when I beat Gorge in front of others in the dressing room.

…But this time, it was different. I don't know exactly what but instead of amusement and excitement, I felt rage and the feeling of revengeful satisfaction when I dealt with George.

Maybe that's why I felt rage when he was suffering instead of enjoying it. Though I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it even a bit; it's in my nature I can't do anything about it.

And there is Aric too, I don't think I ever do anything to get his bad side, Hack I don't think I ever interact with him first place.

I suddenly stopped as one memory came into my mind.

It was the first day of the academy and I ran into Aric in way of my room.

It was just a brief encounter 2 weeks ago but could be because of that meeting he is making my life miserable. That bastard.

He is going to pay for what he did to me, I don't even care if he is one of the main characters.

"...sigh but I have to be strong to beat him" I left sighing as I thought that.

Even with the help of Lumianr Crystal, my progress is greater than others but it will take some time until I reach where currently Aric is.

"I have to increase my training time," I said as I reached my apartment. Reaching my room I went straight for my bed. 'It's a long day for me.'

***

The next day, well, it was a mess.

The guy I sent over called one of the teachers at the scene.

The teachers and the staff tried to find the culprit behind this incident but they only found disappointment.

After all, I did remove all the evidence of myself before leaving the place. I only used my sword so there was no Magic or mana to be found, everything other than that was taken care of.

Maybe they will question to Gorge and those other two but I've filled their hearts with enough fear to make them not say anything against me.

Anyway, let's forget that and let me tell you some interesting news.

There is a rumour going on that Gorge and his two friends are beatin' by the second and third-year students. It seems that; all of the first-year students believe this rumour to be true, after all, when asked a question to Gorge he said 'Someone block my eyes and because of that I could not see who was the 15:27

one who attacked me'.

So naturally all of the first year thought that the seniors had attacked them, so they could have their pride as seniors unchanged. Tension is growing between junior and senior students as time goes by.

In the novel, Tension grows between them but much slower speed.

I don't know that just a single action from me could stir this much problem.

Well, it doesn't matter to me right now, what happening here already happened in the novel. The only change is that it's happening much faster and faster.

I think it will not affect the plot....right?

Well, I hope it doesn't.

And their one more news. Guess what it's about? Of course, it's about your bro---> me.

Well, the news is that I became the academy's most hated, most crazy person.

Most hated it because I beat Gorge in front of all the people and most crazy because as the weakest rank in class [ 1 Hero 1 ] I still decided to fight with the seniors.

Well if I had the chance I rather not fight with them, which I already didn't have the moment Evelyn shot her arrows.

Well anyway, it's already done and I don't care what nobody extra thinks of me.

Nova academy combat training was on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. As such, I should have been able to relax on Mondays and Fridays, but on this precious Friday, I was walking towards a certain department. Some distance ahead, Isabella was showing off her elegant stride.

Perhaps because I tended to have bad luck when meeting the main characters.

Being behind her I could instantly catch a whiff of her rose-like scent. It was a bit of an awkward walk as we were heading in the same direction without speaking to each other. From another person's point of view, it would've looked like I was stalking her. I mean she was stunning.

"Hey, Isabella." I didn't want people to think I stalker so I called her out.

Turning into a direction voice, she saw me. And as soon as she saw me there was a frown on her face. What the....?

"Have you become a stalker now? And What was your name again?"

My smile went stiff as soon as she said that. This bitch.

"It's Lucas," I said to her, even if I don't want to.

"Ah, the most hated person in the whole academy."

This time a vein pops up on my face. Man, whenever I talked to her my blood pressure went up.

"So what are you doing? Stalking me? I hate stalkers you know."

Man, if only I could beat her into black and blue like I did to Gorge.

Which I can't do that.

Anyway, I am a gentleman, so I forgive her for the words she spoke.

"I'm going to [ Research Department ]."

She replied in her kindest voice.

"Please don't talk to me in there, because I don't want people to think I'm a crazy person; like someone."

What the hell? she is the crazy one. In Her future, her title is the Crazy Mage.

with that said she entered the [ Research Department ].

Aftershock went down I also entered.

The Department was in Fourth-floor room D22.

When I entered, the rows of the classroom were already filled with students, most of whom were wearing a familiar azure blue blazer. There were about 50 first years of which 42 of them were girls. The reason for such disparity in gender probably had to do with the class president's bewitching appearance.

After glancing at the room for a couple of seconds, I turned towards Isabell's direction and sat a few seats behind her.

She told me not to talk to her, she didn't tell me where to sit.

All the front-row seats had been taken by the girls.

Sitting down, I could smell a nice rose-like scent coming from her direction promoting my nose to greedily take in the smell.

After being exposed to this scent for five minutes… Professor Theo enters and with him comes an Teelegant young man, with nicely combed hair, enters the classroom.

He had a gentle smile on his face, and his looks could've been considered to be on the higher end of the spectrum.
