Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 44

2 days later...

"Monica!"
"Oh, hello everyone"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"We're fine. How's your sister?"
"Huh? My sister? Why are you asking?"
"Oh, nothing much..."
"Well, she's doing well"
"That's great."
"Yeah (?)"
"...Monica, we wanted to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"... Do you really not like to hang out with your sister?"
"What? Who told you that?!"
"Just answer the question"
"Well... I can't really say that I'd like to stay with her for a long time"
*surprised*
"What is it?"
"No, nothing. We have to go now"
"Huh? To where?"
"Somewhere. See you"
"Huh? Yeah, see you"

"So she really don't like"
"Do we have to tell everyone?"
"No. We're slowly going to avoid her. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't like her sister, but I can't really tell the others because no one will believe us. So let's avoid her for now. In all cases, she now have a boyfriend and new friends, so she doesn't really need us."
"Yeah... you're right"
"Let's go"
"To where?"
"To tell Akari"

"Akari!"
"?"
"We talked to Monica"
"And?"
"She... doesn't really like it. We're sorry."
"No, it's okay. I understand. Sorry, but I have to go"
"Ah... sure"
"Bye"
"Bye"

I can't believe she really said that. It's hilarious! I have to tell Eluma the good news!

"Eluma!"
"Huh? Blackie? What is it? You look quite happy"
"You won't believe what happened"
*Tells him what they told her with a low voice*
"No way. Are they this stupid?"
"Yes"
"Well, I'm sure they'll avoid her from now on. But we should focus on Yamel for now"
"Yes!"

Her smile is the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

5 days later, at CelestiaLand...

"Blackie, today is the first day of courses, right?"
"... Yeah"
"Are all the teachers ready?"
"Yes"
"What is it?"
"I'm a little angry. Do I really have to teach as well?"
"Of course! You're teaching the hardest course for them."
"Yeah but you can teach them"
"I'm already teaching them 2 courses. I can't do more than that."
"... Yeah"
"Ehhhh, don't look so down. It's only one course. The duration is one hour and you only have to teach them twice a week."
"I don't want to see them"
"I know, but everything is gonna be alright. I promise."
"Hope so"
"Now then, I'm going"
"To where?"
"I have a class I have to attend. Did you forget?"
"... No. Just don't forget to give me a feedback. And if anything happens, call me"
"Oki doki"

...

"Hello everyone."
"Hello sir"
"My name is Eluma, and I'll be teaching you the basics of magic. First of all, I want to get to know you more. So one after the other, please do say your name, the name of your manapet, as well as... why you came here. Let's start from here"
"<...>"
"Okay, now then, it's your turn sir."
"My name is Yamel. The name of my manapet is Lila. I came here because... *glance at Monica* I wanted to study magic"
"Oh... that's great."

You really think I'd believe that? You came only for Blackie. Your love for her turned into an addiction the moment you knew she was 'going out' with me. Poor boy.

"Now then, miss it's your turn"
"My name is Monica. My manapet's name is Marie, and I came here because my boyfriend came, and I don't want to leave Marie."

At least she's sincere. But being so confident and proud that Yamel is yours will hurt you, dear.

"I'm Maria, and this is Mia. I came here because I really don't want to leave this academy."
"I'm Leo. And this is Pio. And I'm here to learn more about magic"
"My name is Sally. And this is my manapet, Melissa. I'm here to learn more about potions, and because I don't want to leave Melissa"
"My name is Nick. The name of my manapet is Kiel. I'm here because the others came."
"My name is Estelle. And this is Emilie. I'm here for my brother."

The reasons why they're here are hilarious. Just say that you're here because Monica and Yamel came. You guys don't care about magic at all. I don't even know why you're here. It makes me sick. Blackie was right, this is annoying. I really want this hour to end.

"Okay then, let's start with our lesson-"
*knock knock*
"Enter"
"Sorry for the bother"
"Director, welcome! You're not a bother at all! Everyone, stand up"
*everyone stands up*
"It's okay, sit down"
*everyone sits down*
"What are you doing here?"
"Someone wants to see you"
"Ah... I understand but why didn't you take care of it?"
"I tried, but she said she's you fiancée"
"Huh? Wait WHAT?"
"... Were you playing with me?"
"WHAT? NO! I DO LOVE YOU! I SWEAR I WILL KILL THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT! Everyone, the hour is suspended! Take me to her NOW!"
"Okay"
*leaves the room*
"What happened?"
"Is this a love quarrel?"
"Looks like it"
"Yamel? Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing"

I hope they break up

"Blackie, where is this girl?"
"There's no such girl"
"Huh? Wait what? Then why did you lie?!"
"2 reasons. The first one, I wanted to let Monica see that I don't care about her boyfriend and that we are a 'couple'."
"Wait were you listening?"
"There are cameras you know?"
"Ah yeah"
"And the second reason is because I felt that you were annoyed by their lies. So I just wanted to save you."
"Ah..."

She saw right through me without even reading my mind.

"Thanks"
"Sure. Now then I'm going back"
"To where?"
"I still have some documents I have to finish before my class starts. You can take this time as a break or something."

Even though she has work to do, she still helped me.

"See you"
"Yeah... Blackie!"
"Yes?"
"Eumm... do you need some help?"
"... No it's okay. I'll finish everything and go to training right away."
"Ah... can, can I come?"
"... Sure"
"Really?!"
"Yes, why would I refuse anyway?"
"... I don't know, I thought you might want to train alone..."
"Well, it's not like you're a nuisance or anything as long as you don't do anything without telling me"
"I will! Thank you!"
"... *nod* See you"
"See you!"

Sigh... this guy, seriously... what should I do with him.
