As Baltan’s gaze turned to Adel, Guwar began to provoke him.
The moment Adele's curved eyes narrowed,
Swish-.
Dozens of thorns sprouted from Adel’s hand, and thirty daggers floated in the air, surrounding Guwar’s entire body.
“……!”
Guwar’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight, which would not have been strange if he had turned into a hedgehog at any moment.
At that moment.
Adel, who had used teleportation, whispered in Guwar’s ear from behind.
“……Manners, what an interesting word.”
For you to say.
Adel, who had added an ominous remark, opened his mouth with a smile.
“If you move even a little, it will be quite painful.”
“Y, you bastard……!”
“Ah, I told you not to move.”
Adel spoke with a hint of amusement.
Flick-.
A single, black blade grazed Guwar’s nape.
A thin stream of blood trickled down Guwar’s jawline and stained the collar of his uniform.
Ares spoke to Adel in a stern voice.
“That’s enough. If you continue to fight, I will intervene myself.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Adel clicked his tongue in disappointment as he retrieved the black daggers surrounding Guwar.
The released thorns retracted back into the large thorn on his wrist.
'...Was that large thorn the Gluttony offspring I saw in the video?'
Samuel, who had parasitized Adel after being severely injured during the midterm exam.
Adel had somehow managed to skillfully control even Samuel, who had been absorbed into his body.
Adel had already become one of the strongest fighters here.
It was truly an astonishing feat.
The relationship between Adel and Samuel was definitely close to the worst.
Just a while ago, they were always fighting whenever they saw each other, but now they were trying to get along.
Indeed, combat had a way of forging strong bonds between comrades.
However.
“Guwar, I have no intention of changing your arrogant nature, but try to pick your fights more carefully. If something like this happens again in front of the instructors, you will be severely punished.”
“…….”
Guwar didn’t say anything directly, as if his pride had been hurt.
He simply nodded his head.
Hoo.
Ares let out a deep sigh.
I wish Guwar would show even a fraction of the charisma he displayed during the midterm exam.
Why on earth does he act like that normally?
Adel looked at Ares with a puzzled expression as he rubbed his temples in frustration.
Ares frowned at Adel and asked.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“It’s just that I’m surprised.”
“About what?”
“I thought you would scold me. Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine.”
Ares shook his head.
He had simply done his duty as an educator and judged right from wrong.
Guwar’s provocation was enough to make that boy, Adel, furious.
That was why he had stood by and watched until Adel was about to harm him.
It wasn’t that he was particularly concerned about Adel.
"Something feels off, though..."
Leaving Adel muttering behind, Ares addressed the students.
"The same goes for you all. Identify your enemies clearly. Our enemies are humans, not your comrades who you should fight alongside. I don't believe it's worth giving weapons to those who don't even understand that."
“…….”
Ares’s furious words made Guwar blush in shame.
Hoping that he would at least feel something, Ares asked Adel a question.
"We're missing one. Have you heard anything about why she hasn't arrived yet?"
"No. She disappeared without a word to us."
Ares let out an earth-shattering sigh at Adel’s answer.
"...Do the Class A students have a knack for frustrating me?"
“Thank you for noticing. She’s a real pain in the neck.”
“That goes for you too.”
It was when Ares was frowning at Adel.
Click-.
Adel suddenly turned his head and pointed at a spot.
A girl with blue hair was elegantly walking towards them from the entrance of the auditorium.
Hoohoo.
She had a smile on her lips as she confidently took a step forward.
“I apologize for being late.”
The female student apologized to the students who had been waiting for her here early.
However, her expression did not contain any feelings of regret at all.
Everyone realized that she was just saying it as a formality.
She proudly gestured and spoke to the students.
"Understand this, it was unavoidable for me to be late."
……And declared.
"In such situations, the protagonist always arrives late, don't they?"
Asserting her position as the 'top student' of Sytan.

ReplyDeleteSamuel alt account spotted in comments
DeleteSamuel caught hating irl
DeleteUh, if she’s acting, can’t be pick a personality that isn’t so irritating? It gives off dumb and irritating vibes.
ReplyDeletewell with tidbits of her background it should be another hell of past itself [which we would certainly see with Adel necklace power]. imagine a hundred siblings and all of them are her enemies even before shes born. i think she will play the role of the 'jester' - The jester does not simply laugh. Rather, the jester laughs at you and in so doing gives you permission to laugh at yourself (Michael J. Gelb) p.s most commenters here think shes just dumb and irritating not even seeing the bigger picture most likey only skimming the plot not truly understanding it. truly dissapointing for this new generation of readers
