After the Mock Battle

When I opened my eyes, Ludi is in front of me. Her face is an odd mixture of emotions. She looked worried, surprised and a little angry…… I can’t really tell.

“Unfamiliar ceiling.”

I have wanted to try saying it once.

“Are you awake? Are you okay?”

pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ “I’m fine. Sorry, it seems like I made you worried.”

“Worried huh….. I was surprised actually. Why did you remove your stole? Isn’t that your lifeline? You even got beaten up so badly. You are accustomed to using your stole to defend right? Your physical enhancement was also done poorly, your movement was all sluggish.”

It was exactly what she said. I lost because I didn’t use my stole. I was able to track her movement with mind eye, my body was also ready to react but since I usually defend using the stole, my movement ended up becoming awkward. From my opponent’s perspective, it would look like I am completely defenseless.

“I have no excuse.”

“I know that you would be able to guard against her attack if you have your stole but In the end, it is just a what-if scenario right?.”

I involuntarily smiled, even Takioto Kousuke from the game wouldn’t lose so badly to the extent that he would get knocked out like me.

“What happened after that?”

“Since you passed out like that everyone is worried you know? Especially Rina-san, she is quite flustered about this.”

Ehh, then the event after that didn’t progress accordingly? My lost is meaningless then.

“Umm, what happened to the mock battles after that? Especially Katrina’s battle.”

“After you, Rina-san fought with Iori-kun but it’s Iori-kun’s win. It might be because of her previous battle against you but her movement was a bit sluggish in that match.”

So it at least progressed like Magiero’s scenario huh. My guilt is terrible though. At least if I didn’t get knocked out I would feel a little better. On top of that, I couldn’t even get to hear her frustratingly say [D, don’t think you have won with this!].

My lost was certainly unnecessary. Moreover, since I got beaten black and blue, it would break my heart when she comes and apologize to me and say [Sorry, I didn’t hold back, I didn’t know that you were so weak.]

“Yeah, that was definitely unnecessary.”

I muttered so and noticed that Ludi is staring at me.

“Hey Kousuke, why did you take off your stole?”

She asked a difficult question. I just did it on impulse though.

“Well, you see I learn a new skill recently… It’s an evasion type skill so I was trying to use it. I think I have been relying too much on my stole lately so I want to know how much I will be able to fight without using it.”

“Hmmmm.”

I thought that I came up with a good excuse but Ludi is still suspiciously staring at me. If it comes to this, I will just change the subject. please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

“B, by the way, what time is it now?”

“Mmh, the afternoon class should be started by now.”

I see that’s why Ludi is the only one here. Then that means….

“Sorry, you have to miss the class for me.”

Ludi shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, it’s okay. I planned to go to Hatsumi-san’s lecture today after all. I can have her teach me later. She wanted me to look after you and happily sent me off you know? She even checked the attendance for me.”

Oi, is that really fine? Well, since the person with the highest authority in the academy is in my house it should be fine right?

“Anyway, sorry.”

“You better be. Now then…..since made me wasted my time worrying about you, you surely do have some compensation in mind, right?”

She said with her ladylike tone while smiling at me. Well, I did waste her precious time after all.

“Yosh, let’s hit the ramen shop right away. I bought a guidebook for famous ramen shops around here, let’s find something nice to eat.”

I buy it to raise her mood when something happened but I never thought that I would have to use it so soon.

“……I want something light today.”

“Yeah yeah, let’s go….”

When I was about to get out of bed, I lost my balance and fell on my back.

“Kousuke!! Are you okay!?”

“It’s fine I only slipped… More importantly, you really were worried about me huh?”

She anxiously looking at my face. When she looked like that I unconsciously said that to her. In the game, Takioto Kousuke is lower than an insect to her after all.

Moreover, who would leave a pen on the ground like that?

“Idiot…. It’s a given right? Well….. Let’s go.”

While receiving the sidelong glance from the students who are taking their afternoon classes, we are heading to the ramen shop. Though I don’t know whether it is because she is embarrassed or what but she is wearing a hat and sunglasses. She looked totally suspicious.

Since I am here as well can you at least please act normally?
