Chapter 13 - No, That’s Not It(1)
“Lumian, by the way, do you have money?”
“Money? I do. Why?”
“You eat at the free cafeteria every day······ Never mind. As long as you have it, it’s fine.”
“Ah. I was thinking of trying other places, but the free cafeteria suits my taste, so I just keep going. Thanks for your concern.”
“Concern, what concern······ As long as you have it, it’s fine.”

Teoro Shutgaren. And Lumian Calard.
Until last year, the two had not even gone near each other, let alone spoken, but in the span of a few days, they seemed to have gotten quite close.

Many of the students in Class E were curious about this, but they could not ask the two directly.
Teoro was just difficult to approach. It was more like he would approach them first; they were the type to be scared to approach him. That was part of his charm, but he was a rather intimidating person to try to get information from.
Lumian was just as difficult. It might have been different if he were in the same situation as last year, but now his atmosphere had changed so drastically that they still did not know how to treat him.
In the end, all the Class E students could do was watch the two of them. And make baseless speculations.

“As expected, Teoro must have acknowledged Lumian.”
“The swordsmanship professor needs to come back soon so we can see his skills.”
“Did they say he’s on assignment now? He should be back next week, right?”
“Probably? I’m really curious. About what level he’s at.”

‘Damn it.’
The big guy, who had overheard the surrounding chatter, grumbled to himself.
Ë.n̊ů m̂а .іd
Annoyance surged within him. It was infuriating that the guy who had been treated as far beneath him was doing well, and it was even more infuriating to feel that some of the kids were looking down on him.
If he had his way, he wanted to hide in secret and attack Lumian from behind, but now even that was difficult.
Now that Lumian was friends with Teoro, the best student in Class E, he could not do it for fear of retaliation.
‘Cunning bastard!’
Although the big guy had been soundly beaten once, he still could not acknowledge Lumian’s skills.
If he had not underestimated his opponent, if his condition had been a little better, if it had been a swordsmanship duel instead of a bare-handed one.

Various excuses boosted his confidence.
But it was an undeniable fact that it was now difficult to treat Lumian as he had before.
‘If it’s difficult for me to do it, I can just borrow someone else’s hands.’
After all the day’s classes had ended, the big guy went with his followers to meet a student from Class F.
“Hoop, hooh, haap!”
‘Still a monster.’
Е̊nu̇ mа .іd
As usual, he was engrossed in his workout.
One would believe he was Professor Arnold’s son.

The big guy waited until his workout was over. The opponent continued his strength training for another 30 minutes and only acknowledged the big guy after he had finished showering.
“Yo. What brings you here? Is there someone you want me to take care of?”
“Haha. Hey, Boomer. Let’s talk outside first.”
‘You ignorant fool!’
E nŭ m̂.а̌
To talk so openly about messing someone up in the indoor training hall. This guy had no sense.
Even as the top student of Class F and a promising talent who vied for second or third place with Teoro in the second year, he was too fearless.
‘Well, that’s why I’m asking Boomer Simpson, though. The ogre-like guy.’
It was a relief that they were at least slightly acquainted.

The big guy, who was internally badmouthing Boomer Simpson, brought up the topic with a smile.
“You know Lumian, right? The weak-looking guy who always walked with his head down.”
W е̇ b n о ṽ е̂l Е̇n̆ǔm̃ ā.
“Huh? Lumian? Let’s see······ Ah, I know. Isn’t he your lackey?”
“What do you mean, lackey? He doesn’t even come close to that.”
“So what about him? Did he snitch to a professor or something?”
“He did snitch. But not to a professor······ he attached himself to Teoro.”
“What?”
Boomer Simpson’s expression contorted at once.

His already ugly face became even uglier. The big guy, who took half a step back, continued to speak.
“That guy has a rotten personality. He’s a real jerk. But he’s still desperately clinging to him. I was listening in to see what kind of ass-kissing he was doing, and that bastard Lumian was talking shit about you to Teoro.”
“What! Those sons of bitches were talking shit about me!”
Hot steam shot out of Boomer Simpson’s nose. The big guy wore a pitiful expression and laughed inwardly.
This guy hated Teoro with a passion.
The reasons were that they were rivals for the top spot in their year, that Teoro, unlike himself, was a pretty boy, and that because of that, Teoro monopolized the cheers of the female students during inter-class competitions.
Еn̂ úm̂ а̄ . і̆ d
That was why he got worked up just at the mention of Teoro’s name. Even before hearing the reason, he had erupted in anger like a volcano on the verge of an explosion.
‘At this point, that bastard Lumian won’t even have his bones left.’

The fallout would probably reach Teoro, but that did not matter. It was not like it was the first or second time Boomer and Teoro had fought.
He would be satisfied as long as Lumian’s back was broken in the fight between those whales. The smile in the big guy’s heart grew wider.
“That pretty-boy bastard Teoro, daring to enjoy talking behind my back? This won’t do. This time, I’ll have to give him a proper taste of bitterness.”
“Huh?”
Ën um̀ a. і́ d́
“That bastard, he’s going out this weekend, right?”
“Uh? Uh······ probably. I think I heard that.”
But the situation took a strange turn.
To be precise, it became much bigger than the big guy had thought. Boomer Simpson continued to speak with an expression of unbearable anger.

“I’ll have to properly screw him up outside. There are plenty of places to avoid eyes outside, so there won’t be anyone to stop me even if I beat him to death.”
“Uh, uh?”
Е_ǹ u m̈ а̂ .ìd̃
“Find out when that Lumian bastard is going out too. He’s next after Teoro.”
“Right······.”
“And for now, you get an exit pass for this weekend too. With your lackeys.”
“Yeah, wh-what?”
The big guy let out a flustered voice. Boomer Simpson questioned him as if asking what was wrong.
“You have to be the lookout, of course. What, don’t tell me······.”

“No, no! Of course I’ll help. We’re taking down that jerk Teoro and that bastard Lumian.”
“That’s more like it.”
Boomer grinned.
It was like a threat, saying he would smash his skull right now if he did not listen. The big guy let out an awkward laugh.
“Haha······.”
‘Fuck, how big is he planning to make this! Is he even thinking about the consequences?’
Ӗn̆ū ḿа
He could not know.
All he could do was pray inwardly that the fallout would not hit him too hard.

“Hey, friend! My name is Adel Friedman. I’m not a knight cadet, I’m in the humanities department.”
“Ah, hello. I’m Lumian Calard. I’m in the same class as Teoro Shutgaren.”
When the weekend arrived and Lumian came out of the academy, Teoro introduced him to a new person.
Ẃе̌ b̆n̄о̌v̊e̊ ľ. Е̊ n u mа̀
He seemed to be a friend he hung out with whenever he went to a ball, but unlike Teoro, he had a lively feel to him. He also had a slightly greasy side to him.
'For some reason, I feel like this guy has a lot of chest hair.'
As he was making a completely baseless guess, Adel looked at Teoro and Lumian with a curious expression and said.
“It’s amazing that this sullen guy has another friend besides me. If it weren't for our parents, I wouldn’t have even been able to talk to him. His expression is scary.”

“Haha, well······.”
“Let's stop with the pointless talk and go look at clothes. Lumian, did you bring enough money?”
Ӗǹ.ǔ ma .іd
“Of course. Shall we go over there?”
“Hmm.”
“Oh, over there is······.”
A pure white building decorated with splendid ornaments. There were even magical devices here and there.
One could tell at a glance that it was an expensive place. Teoro’s friend, Adel, said.
“Are you sure, friend? This place is really expensive.”

“Still, it’s my first time going, so I thought it would be better to go well-dressed.”
“Well, that’s not a wrong way of thinking······.”
“I have more than enough money, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Welcome, esteemed customers. What are you looking for?”
“Ah, I’m going to a ball for the first time, and I’m looking for clothes, shoes, and gloves.”
“I see. Would you please come this way?”
Еn̊ úm ä. і̀ d̀
Lumian entered the building with a confident demeanor, and Teoro and Adel exchanged glances.
They were a little anxious, but what could they do when he himself said it was fine.

“Phew. Since he’s spending the money anyway, I should at least help him leave with clothes that suit him.”
“Right.”
Teoro nodded.
There was a misconception that people who were new to fashion had, and that was thinking that wearing expensive clothes would automatically make them look cool.
Ěn̄ u m̃ ӓ .і́d
But this was not true.
There were far more important factors than price, such as body shape, skin tone, face size, and the harmony between clothes. If one overlooked these, there was a risk of spending a huge amount of money only to become a laughingstock for many people.
‘Since these are such high-end clothes, he won’t fail completely, but······.’
Still, it would be safer for him to choose.

Teoro closed his eyes. It was to think of a style that would suit Lumian in his head.
At that moment, a perplexed voice came from Adel’s mouth.
W̌ e b n̈оvе l Е ǹ u m̃ а̃
“Friend, calm down!”
“Huh? Why?”
“You don’t just buy expensive clothes without thinking! You have to try them on before you buy them!”
“But I already bought them?”
‘What? He already bought them?’
Teoro’s eyes widened. It was rare for him, who showed little change in expression, to react like this.

He quickly approached the two and sighed. Then, he looked at Lumian and spoke in a reproachful tone.
“Lumian.”
“Yeah.”
“This isn’t some cheap clothing, you should at least try it on once before buying it.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Of course. The size might not fit, or it might not suit you. You should try on several outfits that you think would be good and buy the best one.”
E n u m а. і̀d
Teoro sighed once more. Then he glanced at the clothes.
Fortunately, it did not look bad. It was a trendy design. The colors were a bit flashy and might not suit everyone, but it seemed like it would suit Lumian well enough.

But that did not mean it was not a mistake.
Teoro wanted Lumian to admit his mistake.
However, something completely unexpected came out of his mouth.
“I don’t think I need to try on a bunch of different things? It’s a hassle.”
Еń ũ m а̊
“Hmm?”
“I checked all the clothes they have as I came in, and I matched the size with my eyes. This fits my body perfectly.”
“······You saw all the clothes?”
Teoro, Adel, and the shop employee wore blank expressions.

There were over a hundred men's suits here, and to have checked them all in such a short time.
Frankly, it was unbelievable.
Е̇n ūm̈ а̄
But Lumian did not look like he was lying at all.
“I wouldn’t know about swordsmanship training or physical conditioning, but I have a little trouble putting on and taking off uncomfortable clothes······ Ah, but still, I’m sorry. Regardless of the size, my eye for clothes could be terrible. I should have asked you before buying. There were a few other things I liked.”
“······What were they? Try telling me.”
Teoro asked, and Lumian moved.
As if his words about having checked all the clothes in the store were not a lie, his steps were unhesitating.
Lumian quickly moved around the interior, picked out four more outfits, and then said to Teoro.

“How are they? Are they okay? I chose them because I thought they would suit me.”
“······.”
They were not bad.
To be honest, they were excellent. Teoro prided himself on his eye for fashion, but Lumian's choices were flawless.
Just in case, he had Lumian try on the clothes he had bought, and they suited him even better than he had thought.
It was even better than the other four outfits he had chosen.

It was as if the clothes were made for the existence called Lumian.
“Wow, that’s amazing, isn’t it? You have an excellent eye for clothes? Is it really your first time going to a ball?”

“Umm, it’s my first time.”
“Wow. You have a natural talent for fashion. Some people just can’t dress well no matter how much you teach them.”
Teoro nodded in agreement.
He praised Lumian with an expression of having seen him in a new light.

“You didn’t waste your money. You might even do better than me at the ball.”
“It’s nothing.”
“You always wore your cadet uniform, so I thought you had no interest in dressing up, but I was wrong. I’m sorry for misunderstanding.”
“No, hmm······.”

Lumian smiled shyly.
Although this was the current Lumian's first time, during his time as Ryan Promhart, he had participated in many balls. It was a matter of course for a royal guard knight.

He had not been able to think about seducing women because he lacked the necessary parts, but he had developed an eye for clothes by observing the fashion of countless men.
