âReally? Do you truly know nothing?â
âI donât know anything.â
No matter how much I insisted, Syrah didnât drop her suspicious gaze.
No matter how much I knew, I couldnât reveal anythingâit wasnât my place to do so.
After somehow shaking off Syrahâs persistence, I pretended not to notice her suspicion for the rest of the class. Even so, I realized that Syrah didnât want me to press the issue, so I changed the subject.
âOh, then, would you like to come with me?â
âCome with you… where?â
âTo Senior Dinua!â
At first, I wondered if it was appropriate to visit someone under suspension, but then I figured there was no harm in it.
A demerit? Not a big deal. Even if I were penalized, it wouldnât affect me as a 4-star Summoner.
ââŚFine. Just donât cause me too much trouble.â
âYes!â
I noticed her hesitance when she didnât outright deny being annoyed, but I decided to let it slide and waited for the class to end.
***
âCome on, this one, and this oneâah, and this too!â
ââŚAre you sure you want to visit Senior Dinua?â
âWe canât go empty-handed, can we? Donât you even know basic manners?â
After class, Syrah dragged me to the shopping street outside the academy. It wasnât as if we were visiting someone in a hospitalâjust someone suspended from classes. Why on earth would we need perfume?
As I stood there, dumbfounded by the growing pile of items in our basket, a familiar voice called out from below.
âSyrah? Is that Ian?â
âOh, Noah! Hi!â
Hearing Noahâs voice, I leaned around the towering pile of bags to see her. She peered out from behind the luggage, her face flushed and smiling brightly.
âHello, Noah. Itâs good to see you too.â
âAh! Noah! By the way, how did it go last time?â
âLast time?â
âYou know, that thing.â
Syrah interrupted me, taking Noah aside and leaving me out of the conversation.
I was curious about what they were discussing, but I knew better than to intrude. It wasnât unusual for women to have topics they didnât want men to overhearâlike personal matters or weight.
Honestly, Noah and Syrah seemed close enough to share anything. Given their personalities, it wasnât surprising that theyâd hit it off with just about anyone.
After a while, Syrah returned, looking slightly flustered.
âWhatâs up with Noah?â
âSheâs busy, so she had to go.â
âAlright.â
I didnât think much of it, assuming Noah really was occupied. Syrah, however, wasted no time dragging me into yet another store.
What started as a simple errand to greet Senior Dinua had spiraled into a shopping spree, with most of the items seemingly meant for Syrah or me rather than for Dinua.
By this point, I couldnât ignore it anymore.
âHey, you.â
âYes? What is it?â
âToday… you tricked me into being your porter.â
ââŚWhat?â
Syrah froze for a moment, her expression stiffening, but she quickly relaxed and let out a nervous laugh.
âHehe, you caught me.â
âIâm done. Letâs just go to Senior Dinua already.â
âAlright!â
Hearing that, she finally led the way to the dormitory. Meanwhile, an exasperated voice echoed in my mind.
[Summoner, I thought you were clever, but youâre just dense.]
âWhat are you on about now?â
Shaking my head to dismiss the unwarranted remark, I followed Syrah to Dinuaâs dormitory.
***
Being suspended didnât mean there were no consequences. Suspended cadets werenât allowed to attend the academy or earn grades during that period.
However, most of the academyâs education focused on practical applications of Origin Art, and Senior Dinua, who loved reading and had already mastered the theoretical aspects, likely wasnât missing out much by being absent for a few days.
Syrah arrived at Dinuaâs dormitory and knocked casually on the door. Being the daughter of a marquise, Dinuaâs dormitory was just as grand as Stellaâs.
After a moment, a maidâs voice responded from inside.
âWho is it?â
âOh, itâs Senior Dinua’s room, right?â
âYes, butâŚâ
âIâm here to visit her. Could you open the door?â
âMy lady is currently under suspensionâŚâ
âWhat does that matter?â
ââŚIâll inform her and return shortly.â
With that, the maid retreated inside.
