Chapter 28. This Woman Is Crazy (2)

No way. She was way too calm and collected.

For a moment, he thought she might have a romantic relationship with that man.

“We don’t have a romantic relationship.”

Glesia denied this with a brief reply. He almost sighed with relief.

“Really? So, Glesia, what’s your relationship with him?” Yumia asked, trying to be sly.

“None.”

“Hey!” Yumia’s face flushed. “You’re lying, Glesia. You were very secretive with us, but you don’t act the same around this man. Besides, you left first after the entrance ceremony was over.”

Yumia was crossing the line from a bit persistent to nagging. Leonhard thought he should stop her, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything, too curious.

What was the real relationship between them?

He knew that Yumia’s way of inquiring was impolite, but he was also wondering – and hoping. He didn’t understand why Glesia would want to be with the man named Han Seong, although he was not prejudiced about class ranks.

He also thought because Glesia had a beautiful appearance that caught everyone’s attention, perhaps this man did as well. But unlike her, Han Seong was a Class C cadet. And although he had a peculiar appearance, there was nothing about him that was special.

In other words, they didn’t fit.

“……”

Glesia slowly turned her head away from Leonhard.

He also turned his gaze to Han Seong who was standing next to her. She remained silent. He wondered what was really going on.

“Glesia?”

She nodded when Yumia asked, puzzled.

Glesia was acting strangely.

“I don’t know what relationship I have with Han Seong either. It’s hard to explain in words.”

Her words made Yumia laugh.

“Huh? What the heck does that mean? Glesia?” Yumia asked again, unable to understand. But Glesia appeared unconcerned. She would only respond by nodding, shaking her head or a brief reply. Smart move. His admiration for her grew.

“Wait. I’ll answer this.”

When Han Seong opened his mouth, he held back his laughter.

It would be hard to find out anything through Glesia.

But he would know the answer if Han Seong spoke.

It would be easier to get the truth with him.

***

People were always the same.

For better or for worse.

In a way, that’s great.

Han Seong thought as he looked at Glesia.

Until now, he thought that she wasn’t outspoken because he had a common grade attribute.

But in reality, it wasn’t like that.

It was simply Glesia’s personality.

She always responded strangely, so it might seem like she was hiding something.

“We met by chance.”

“By chance?”

He nodded his head as he looked at Yumia.

Now that he thought about it, Yumia was also a character with a bad personality.

-Yumia Rilpol-

A red-haired heroine with short hair.

She was only interested in the main character.

She was quite kind to Leonhard, but insincere with others. She was the typical silly character who falls in love at first sight with Leonhard. Posted only on NovelUtopia

“The two of us met at the entrance exam. Besides, as Glesia said, we don’t have any particular relationship. We are just casually walking together.”

He was deliberately specific to avoid unnecessary rumors.

Even now it seemed like the main character and the silly goose were misreading the situation.

“Hmmm. Well… I figured as much. You’re a simple C-class cadet.” Yumia laughed in a mocking tone after replying.

“Don’t be disrespectful.”

Leonhard told her coldly. Yumia was noticeably startled for a moment.

“Han Seong… I didn’t mean it in a bad way. You know it too, right?” She smiled because even she found her excuse ridiculous.

“Yes, because I didn’t feel that way.”

Then he focused more on Leonhard than on Yumia. In fact, for a moment he felt as if he was the main character because of this face-to-face conversation.

It’s a very nice feeling.

But Glesia suddenly spoke up.

“Leonhard.” Both him and the main character turned to look at her.

“Wouldn’t you like to spar against Han Seong?”

“…Me? Sparring against Han Seong?

“Yes; I’m curious. Just once.”

Suddenly a conversation unfolded before him that was incomprehensible.

“……” He felt as if the world had stopped as he listened. So he stared at it in a daze.

Glesia had suggested something outlandish.

What was this woman talking about?

He didn’t know what she was meaning with her words, much less her intentions. Does she know what happens when an A-class spars with –

“I don’t mind. But won’t you be overwhelmed, Han Seong?” Leonhard answered cautiously, looking at him with some concern.

He wanted to nod, but….

There was no way he could do that.

Glesia was staring at him.

She was only looking at him since she started the conversation.

Her blue eyes were shining.

… He wondered if this woman was crazy.

However, he now also felt he could not say no.

Damn you, Glesia. You’re going to be the death of me, and it’s not my world to die in!
