Chapter 25: Childhood Friend? (part 1)

Naturally, when the cadets began to fight, the instructors had no choice but to intervene.

Oliver, who quickly ran over, mediated between the two and asked why they had started fighting. Then he frowned when he heard the reason for their disagreement.

“So got your summon killed by the demon you were supposed to hunt and then escaped by yourself?”

“…”

“There was a danger of someone dying there, but you abandoned your comrade and ran away.”

“…yes.”

Elton quietly lowered his head. 

Observing his reaction, Oliver began to rub his forehead, as if he was the one feeling embarrassed. Then he immediately decided on the punishment and spoke up.

“First of all, Elton, you will get zero points for this activity and receive additional demerit points later.”

“Ha, but…!”

“There is no need for excuses. I remember telling you that you have to work in a group.’”

Ignoring the instructor’s orders and rushing ahead his own was a big mistake, almost resulting in the loss of his own summon. In the end, Elton was forced to accept the punishment.

“You too, if your friend makes the wrong decision, you have to stop him. Do you understand?”

“Sorry.” Cobie apologized.

“You seem to be reflecting enough, so you won’t get any demerit points for this.”

However, that did not prevent Cobie from also receiving a zero points.

After the punishment of the two, Oliver’s gaze turned to me.

“Ian Clark.”

“Yes.”

“You should be grateful that you won’t be punished this time.”

“Thank you.”

Fortunately, Oliver didn’t punish me.

Well, I would have protested even if he did.

Why should I get punished? I should be receiving a reward instead. Anyways, even the instructor’s couldn’t behave as they pleased. Moreover, he seemed quite concerned about the fact that the activity didn’t go the way he had planned.

Playna, the instructor in-charge of another class, approached Oliver and started accusing him.

“See, didn’t I say that we should make an instructor accompany them?”

“I wanted to foster independence in the cadets.”

“And thanks to that, at least two cadets almost lost their summons!”

“Looks like you have plenty of flaws to point out about the content of the activity?”

It seemed that there was a system in which instructors evaluated each class among themselves. 

I looked at Playna, who was giving Oliver a hard time. She seemed subtly overjoyed that Oliver’s plan was ruined.

Oliver was an instructor who produced both the first and second ranks just because he was lucky, so she was probably quite jealous.

“Well, quite a lot of things happened today…with this the class ends. Everyone can go back.”

When Oliver finished speaking, the cadets dispersed and headed to academy. Some of the cadets went straight out of academy in their uniforms.

As for me, I was about to head straight to the dormitory, however, Clara, one of the instructors in-charge, approached me.

“Umm…cadet Ian Clark?”

“Yes?”

“Wait a minute, can you spare some time?”

At her words, I glanced up and down at the instructor for a moment. She had pink hair that went down to her waist, and big bre*asts.

It seemed like I had seen her somewhere, but I couldn’t really remember it.

I didn’t see her in the game, so she probably wasn’t someone important.

But still…‘It would be good to build a amicable relationship with an instructor.’

With that reasonable judgment, I decided to follow her.

“Alright.”

The instructor took me to the private counseling room on campus.

It was a secluded space that no one could access except the instructors and cadets.

When we entered the counseling room, the instructor naturally locked the door, then sat on the sofa inside and began to stare at my face.

‘No way…’

I carefully prepared to summon Anna, wondering if she was the kind of person who felt s*xual desire for young cadets. The world was a dirty place, so there would be nothing strange about it even if she was one.

“…so.” Clara looked at my face and opened her mouth.

When I saw her smile, I decided that I should summon Anna for real.

“Ian!”

However, the instructor suddenly grabbed my hand, and I realized that she wanted to prevent me from summoning my summon.

‘No, what…is she…’

The instructor gave an embarrassed smile as she waved my hand up and down.

“It’s me! Don’t you recognize me!?”

“…who?”

“We often played together in the village! Oh, it might be because I now have long hair…”

She said so and grabbed her hair. The moment I saw the exposed nape of her neck and her short hair, my body suddenly shuddered and I recalled some memories.

“Sister…Clara?”

“You remembered!”

She was indeed someone I knew.

She was a longtime childhood friend of the original owner of this body, Ian Clark.

And, her name was Clara.

‘It’s quite strange that I remember…’

As much as I owned the body of Ian Clark, I only had bits and pieces of his memories. And, for her memories to be one of them proved just how much the previous Ian Clark had cherished her.

However, if they had been that close in the past, it was necessary to know why she came and approached me only now.

“I was feeling restless thinking that you wouldn’t remember…” Clara spoke with such a lively voice. Because her voice was so pure, I couldn’t feel any bad intentions.

However…

“Sister.”

“Yes! What is it? Ian.”

“Why are you here now?”

Clara kept her mouth shut.

If it made her so happy to meet me, why didn’t she come to meet me right away?

Clara, who had kept her mouth shut, carefully opened her mouth with a cracked voice.

“That …I was afraid that you wouldn’t remember me.”

According to previous Ian Clark’s memory, the last time he saw her, Clara had short hair that did not even reach her shoulders.
