The Mid-Class is Too Strong, Professor! - 4
A girl in front of her was staring at Charlotte intently.
So, Charlotte could observe the girl who had climbed onto her body closely.
First, she had a middle-class badge, so this girl belonged to the middle class.
If a low-class student wore a middle-class badge, they'd get beaten to death. And from the high-class perspective, there's no reason to wear a middle-class badge with a bad feeling. So, it must be middle class.
But...
'Her eyes look just like Professor Adrian's.'
She was pretty, but among her appearance, what caught Charlotte's eye was her eyes. Golden yellow eyes shining. It must have been Adrian's eyes like that.
'Is she his daughter?'
Thinking about the ring on her left hand suddenly made things complicated. But she didn't look like his daughter in other ways either.
"I am Tia. What is your name?"
"Charlotte. Charlotte Forte."
Tia. The name Tia was new to me.
But hearing Charlotte's name seemed new to her too. She kept tilting her head left and right while repeating the two characters Charlotte.
"Low class. It's low class."
Tia's gaze was fixed on the low-class badge on Charlotte's chest.
"Adrian, you know. Do you like her?"
"Why...?"
Tia's eyes narrowed sharply.
"It's an important question. Do you like Adrian?"
"I don't know... something like that..."
"If you don't know, think about it now."
"......"
Even under the sharp questioning, Charlotte just blushed a little. Tia’s expression became even colder towards Charlotte who couldn't give a clear answer.
"...I don't like her."
And that was the answer Charlotte forced out.
She didn't fully understand her own feelings, but she was definitely in love with Adrian as a teacher. So she said it.
Then Tia's eyes wavered. It was the answer she was waiting for, but hearing it made her a bit confused.
"Do you know who Adrian is?"
Charlotte, thinking it was now or never, slapped away Tia’s finger pointing at her neck.
Thinking about it, it felt bad. Why was this person climbing on top of a stranger like this? No matter how high the rank, this was too much.
"He is the professor."
"Wrong."
"I don't know. Do you know anything else?"
Tia stared at Charlotte silently for a moment. As if remembering a bad memory, she touched her forehead with her hand and then spoke.
"I know. I know very well."
"Glad to hear that. I know nothing... I don't even know if Professor Adrian is married or not."
It seemed like she had been worrying about this all along. Charlotte unconsciously spilled her inner thoughts to the stranger in front of her.
Perhaps because she was a stranger, she could spill it.
Tia bit her lips hard. It seemed like something really didn't sit well with her.
"Married? Married, married. Adrian, married?"
Seeing her face, which was close to pale, turn red, she seemed properly angry.
Perhaps this girl had also received some favor from Professor Adrian, similar to Charlotte.
After all, Adrian is a good person, and he wouldn't do that to just Charlotte. But why did that make her a little jealous.
But what came out of Tia's mouth was something that greatly deviated from Charlotte's expectations.
"That guy can't get married even if he dies. If he gets married, it's not allowed. He's still single now. And he'll be single for the rest of his life."
"...Is that true?"
"Yeah. It's true."
With just that one line from Tia, all of Charlotte's worries were resolved.
It wasn't just that the worries were resolved. A sense of relief even in a corner of her heart. Charlotte couldn't understand why her own heart was so shaken.
"Charlotte. The name Charlotte?"
"Yeah. Charlotte."
"You. Magic competition. With me?"
Charlotte thought about it carefully.
The magic competition would have five representatives, and considering the current practical results, Charlotte would probably participate.
"Yeah. I'll go."
"You die that day."
What was that? Charlotte blinked silently with both eyes.
"Why?"
"Because that day, I'll kill you. If you like Adrian, you die."
Huh?
Charlotte tilted her head.
'Could it be that this Tia girl also likes Professor Adrian?'
The puzzle fit roughly. Maybe the reason she mentioned earlier that he couldn't get married was for that reason.
Once she thought that far, she felt strangely tense.
One of the things that had allowed Charlotte to run diligently so far was also the point that 'Only I like Professor Adrian.'
Adrian, whom everyone feared and avoided. So, Charlotte could be Adrian's little one.
Charlotte cautiously opened her mouth.
"What's wrong with liking Professor Adrian? Do you like him too?"
"I hate him."
"Huh?"
"I hate him."
Since she didn't like him, should she be relieved? Charlotte tilted her head, not knowing how to accept it.
Well, since she had confirmed that the professor was single, there was nothing more to worry about from now on. Moreover, it was almost time to return to the classroom.
She nodded vaguely and tried to leave the seat, but Tia's words caught Charlotte's ankle.
"So, Adrian will kill you too."
Charlotte, who had been trying to leave casually, immediately turned around. Tilting her head, she asked Tia.
"What?"
"Adrian, Adrian will die too."
Charlotte was stunned for a moment at the absurd words. Then she gritted her teeth.
"Don't say that. I won't forgive it from this side."
"Adrian, die. You die too."
It was around the time when Charlotte's fist was about to gather strength.
-Paat!
Suddenly the world spun once. When she came to her senses, Charlotte was lying on the floor with a thud.
Before she could even think what had happened, Tia stepped on Charlotte's back firmly.
"Feel the difference in strength?"
"What...?"
"Don't be arrogant. If you are, I'll kill you now."
But at that moment.
-Pertel.
-Ya! Pertel!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, her sister Artel's voice came to her ears. Sister's words were absolute. Pertel stopped her actions and listened.
-I have too many things to handle, so the delivery was late, but the mission has changed a bit.
The mission changed. If it was just advancing the plan a little, it was fine. Changing deadlines was a common occurrence while performing missions.
-That matter, has he not touched anyone yet? He's blended in well?
It was just about to touch.
-Pertel, there are Jekiel and his students, right? Never touch them. Got it? I'll emphasize it one more time. Never touch them!
"......?"
Suddenly? Pertel slightly lifted the foot that was stepping on Charlotte's back.
-Instead, there's a mission that you have to do quickly from now on. You have to do it as fast as possible. This is the most urgent mission.
Urgent mission.
Upon hearing that word, Pertel swallowed hard. If even killing Jekiel is set aside, it must be a very important mission.
But no matter what mission, she was ready to carry it out. Since swearing loyalty to Christine as her heart.
-Um... you have to observe the human women carefully.
Pertel’s head, which had been concentrating on her sister’s words, tilted slightly. Something was strange.
-Low class female students list and list of women approaching Jekiel. Write them.
"List...?"
-Yeah. List. But if you just write names, it's obviously not enough, write detailed body information including height, weight, and bust circumference and report.
"......?"
-That's how it's done. Never let anything happen to Jekiel and his students! From now on, change your action policy. Act like bodyguards.
Before asking anything, a sound of 'thud' came, and the connection was cut.
"Um."
What on earth had happened.
Christine and her sister Artel don't act without thinking. So, Pertel would follow as is.
That being said, however...
'I have already hit her once.'
Charlotte, lying on the floor, gritted her teeth and stood up. And she glared at Pertel as if she would never yield.
Pertel scratched her head awkwardly and approached Charlotte.
She brushed off the dust clinging to her body and extended one hand.
"Let's get along."
"......?"
"Tell me your bust circumference."
Is there something wrong with you...?
Charlotte was just bewildered.
◇
"Excuse me."
The door to the office suddenly opened.
Adrian, who was checking documents, looked at Michelle who had suddenly come and twisted his expression.
Without knocking. A noble lady who has learned enough.
"What is it."
"Have you gotten married?"
"I haven't."
"Okay."
With a bang, the door to the office closed again.
"......"
Michelle Maynans. Penalty.
Adrian quietly checked the penalty. And at that time.
▶ Win the magic competition against the Middle Class.
As expected, another branch point occurred.
