Avoid Former Co-Workers

44 – 44. Distrust and Hatred (7)

A single piece of paper lying on the desk in the office was crumpled in Professor Meuniher’s hand and ended up in the trash.

Muniher never wanted to receive or see the paperwork because it was overflowing, but he absolutely hated seeing this paperwork.

No, perhaps it would be more correct to say that this document should not have been created, nor should have reached him.

“You must be crazy and crazy.”

Because of the evaluation at the beginning of the semester, I couldn’t directly teach, so I even asked Denise with regret.

When the exam was over, he even itched himself at the thought of teaching himself, but that expectation was blown away as a float full of collapse.

This morning.

What did Junon come and give you?

[ Letter of withdrawal ]

This letter, written in three syllables, was so absurd to Meuniher.

I sighed so much when I received this that I wondered if my desk might be worn out.

The reason is virtually unknown. There was only a vague excuse that he wanted to leave the academy and live because he couldn’t stand the tyranny of the academy students any longer.

It was a contradiction.

Considering Junon’s skill, there are quite a few opponents that can be defeated in a 1:1 ratio.

“I don’t understand. Someone in this academy is threatening you?”

Looking at Junon, who seemed to be being pursued by something, Professor Meuniher clicked his tongue several times.

***

“Why the hell…!”

I chose the most reasonable method, and it is not strange to submit a letter of resignation.

There’s no reason to stay at the academy anymore, and if those guys remember the past, I’ll take care of everything.

I can safely avoid the members of Thembris and live my life as I am.

That’s why I chose to drop out.

Is it only my opinion that made me drop out? Isn’t that also

Erika came to me personally and warned me not to even go to the Thambris party.

Moreover, since she was threatened by Aris, she had no reason to stay here any longer, so she went straight to Professor Meuniher. However.

-‘Not allowed. Are you saying you’re going to throw away the resolution you made when you entered school?’

You used that bastard’s rules as your shield.

It is said that he has lost his original intentions, which were essential virtues and enthusiasm for studies as a citizen of the principality.

Summarizing the unnecessarily long school rule in one line, ‘You can do as you like when you come in, but not when you go out.’ This means.

Even if you go out of the academy, there is no problem in making a living as long as you run.

On the contrary, it’s more dangerous to stay here, so I want to go out on my own.

It is a very frustrating situation to say that they are not allowed because there is no reasonable reason.

I can’t say that my life is being threatened, so I made up another excuse, and I think it’s a pretty reasonable reason since it’s directly related to the degree of academic performance.

So, I thought that if I explained what kind of perception I have and how I am being treated in school, I would only be able to understand it.

In fact, students who apply for withdrawal for that reason usually appear at this time, so I thought it would be okay.

However, my expulsion procedure was rejected.

Really, it’s crazy and crazy.

‘I can’t help it now that it’s like this.’

With the help of Princess Ophelia, I was able to get past Aris this time, but there is no law that I will be lucky the next time as well.

It’s not just Aris who hates me, but Erika too.

I don’t know when those two will come and try to deal with me again.

In the worst case scenario, they will all appear before me and pay the price of resentment and blame.

To die at your hands again? That kind of thing is never acceptable.

‘So I have no choice but to escape secretly.’

If there are guys who are after me, it’s enough if I disappear.

The man in charge of the academy’s security in front of me recognized me and spoke to me first.

“Oh. It’s Junon. It’s been a while since I’ve been out?”

“No. I applied for withdrawal.”

“Huh? Dropout? What do you mean by that?”

“Sorry, I’ll just leave.”

Then, I proudly left the academy with only the money I had earned so far.

If you live there, they will notice you no matter what you do, so it means that you will go out on your own.

However, in front of her eyes, a woman suddenly landed in the air with white blonde hair flying.

Was I right? With a triumphant expression.

“Withdrawal, isn’t that what happened yesterday?”

Crazy. There’s nothing that goes your way

***

“Sit down.”

“…”

“I’m just going to sit down and have a chat. I’m not threatening you.”

“…I understand.”

She followed Princess Ophelia to the student council room, but she still couldn’t figure out what to say.

The moment I saw that platinum hair, a storm of chaos raged in my head related to the events of the previous evening.

‘He must be trying to find the answer from me somehow.’

Even a disposable magic tool used to distinguish false remarks, which is rarely used for interrogation, is turned on.

You can simply answer yes or no, but the moment you allow lies, even once, a tremendous sound will pierce your eardrums.

Unlike me who grabs her ears at the same time, since the calm Princess Ophelia has her physical evidence, she will now tell the truth and pressurize her.

“This tea calms people down. Would you like to hear it?”

I can’t see anything like this right now.

It was okay, and I wanted to say something, so I replied in silence.

Princess Ophelia must have guessed my intentions, too. After passing the cup of tea, I heard the sound of her shallow breathing.

“If you think about it, don’t you think it’s pretty accurate to say that I’m dropping out because I was bullied yesterday?”

“Well, I don’t think I ever said anything to do with it.”

“That’s true, too. But I hope the word drop out isn’t an excuse for mispronouncing or accidentally saying it.”

“That’s not going to happen. I’ve already submitted my resignation letter to Professor Meuniher.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

That was not wrong.

Even though I may not have been allowed to drop out, the fact that I submitted a letter of withdrawal remains unchanged. I’m not lying.

So, the magic tool for interrogation next to it doesn’t ring.

After the princess took a sip of the tea, she asked again in the same calm tone as before.

“What was your relationship with Miss Aris?”

An anxious question came to me. They must have put me here to ask this question and move on.

But it’s not that there isn’t a way to destroy that magic tool.

“At least, it’s a different story from the difference in position that Lady Gongnyeo knows.”

“I’m asking that right now, Junon-kun.”

“I don’t think I’ve committed a sin so great that I have to reveal my personal circumstances. Or, do you want me to be a sinner?”

This is not a place where criminals are imprisoned and interrogated, but a school.

Even as a leadership team that only serves as an autonomous activity to assist and lead students’ school life, they cannot be deeply involved in their personal affairs.

Since Princess Ophelia didn’t hesitate to ask, it could be said that my goal was rightly hit.

“Since it’s a private company, I’ll skip it. But, you have to tell me the reason for her withdrawal.”

“Isn’t this also a personal affair?”

“Withdrawal is allowed only when there is a valid reason to give up your studies. In that case, Junon-kun’s name should be left out of the dormitory list.”

Again, without a change in expression, the princess slowly opened a box towards her indoor storage, and soon something rattled.

– Whirik!

“Wait, what is this…!”

The whip that the Princess usually uses was entangling my body so that I couldn’t move.

And what was in the hand of the princess who came out of the warehouse was something in the form of handcuffs.

-Clap. Clap.

Handcuffs wrapped around both wrists on a restrained body.

And soon, it makes a whining sound and reaches the point where something is about to work.

“What are you doing?”

The moment the princess put the handcuffs she had just taken out of her hands, her eyes widened.

That was a magic tool for confession. Used only by real sinners.

“Originally, we don’t conduct investigations to this extent, but sometimes there are students who don’t tell the truth. It’s to find out what those students are hiding.”

“Where are you talking about this? It’s a threat!!”

“If I become known, I’ll be heard, but for now, I have the right to do so. In the name of Princess Ardelion.”

It’s only a magic tool that detects lies, so it’s possible to evade it because there’s no coercion.

However, the fact that the confession magic tool was turned on meant that they would force my confession and extort information.

“Now answer me. For what reason do you want to drop out?”

I was given a warning to go ahead and tell me what happened yesterday.

***

Ophelia was able to confirm that she was not wrong.

In addition, Henna’s testimony was also verified to be correct.

‘I’m sure you’ll understand.’

If you don’t voluntarily answer the truth, your lies will be discovered.

She threatened that if she did not answer the reason why she wanted to drop out, she would make her confess directly with a magic ball.

‘Because you answered me that way too.’

In fact, just using this magic tool causes external problems.

Confession handcuffs are magic tools that force the target to confess, just as they are used. In the principality, it is a matter designated by law, and it is forbidden to use it for private purposes.

But you don’t have to use it. Just as he quietly dodged Ophelia’s question.

Ophelia was just thinking of pressuring Junon to get information, but unfortunately, the person in question was caught in her trance and was restless. Everything was as she intended.

For the students who persist and don’t tell the truth, I have to give this much pressure so that the lump in the bottom of her chest can come out.

Junon, who had clenched his fists and kept his mouth shut for a while, finally spoke.

However.

“I… Am dropping out because my life is in danger.”

“What, what?”

A completely unexpected answer popped out, and Ophelia’s dignity, which had been firmly guarding her dignity in order to put pressure on Junon, was shaken for an instant.

“Believe that nonsense…”

You don’t have to speak further to find out the answer from his expression, behavior, and situation.

An unresponsive magic tool for interrogation.

Wrinkles on school uniform pants created by two clenched fists.

Lastly, the black eyes that do not shake even an inch.

He was declaring that there was not the slightest lie in the remarks of the hemisphere that his life was being threatened.
