Episode 65 – A Heart Condition (1/2)
Deora looked around and noticed a horde of people running out of the building “What’s happening? Why are people leaving in such a hurry? Is there a fire somewhere?” His frown deepened “But I didn’t start a fire this time”
After a few seconds, an additional head full of dark purple hair poked out into the hallway After noticing that the hallas completely devoid of all examinees, Zerel smiled happily “Good news little Dei! It seems that our work is done for today”
Both Elaru and Deora stared at Zerel speechlessly
After a few seconds of staring they snapped their head towards the railing in front of the classroo up After his feet touched the ground, he let out a breath of relief and scratched his head in confusion “The heck? What’s with the panic? So! If I wasn’t an argel with the ability to Accelerate, I’d be a pancake!”
Zerel’s face fell, and he sighed dejectedly “Ah, it seeuess we aren’t done for today after all”
Arion looked at Elaru and then blinked a few times in confusion “Elaru? What happened to you? You look like you’ve just walked out of a butchery”
Elaru opened her mouth to respond but no words came out Luckily, Deora interrupted her and waved Arion over “Coirls?”
That put an aard end to the conversation and the two professors let the disheveled Arion enter the room
As soon as Arion walked in, Deora glared daggers at Elaru threateningly behind his back I’ll reain! He then “hu the door shut
As the door slammed shut, a sudden series of crashes was heard
The three inside the roolass jars Apparently, each tiade cube created a crater it had jolted the jars closer to the edge of the shelf But it wasn’t until Deora slammed the door that they finally toppled over to the floor
Deora stared at the broken glass with bloodshot eyes The strange eyeballs that were previously inside the jars seeht back at him
When Elaru heard a miserable screaer and quickly , exactly where Arion had fallen off previously
While Elaru was gracefully falling off the railing, she saw Kiel sitting at a table, peacefully reading a book, completely undisturbed by the commotion around him
When the people around the hall saw her approach them, for some reason they turned pale and ran away Itaway That they probably mistook her potion stains for blood
She rolled her eyes What a bunch of cowards
Fortunately, Kiel didn’t show any sign of doing the same
In fact, he only turned to look at her when he heard his name called in that soft and comfortable voice he was familiar with
Kiel looked up, his icy blue orbsElaru’s teal ones His eyes proceeded to drop down to Elaru’s shi+rt
When he noticed the red stain, his eyebrows furrowed “What the…? Is that…?”
Elaru’s eyes widened, and she hurried to explain “No! It’s not…”
But before she could finish, Kiel’s next words silenced her: “…a healing potion?”
Elaru stared at Kiel du her head “Yeah It is”
Kiel searched her face suspiciously “Why is your shi+rt drenched with a healing potion?”
Elaru s”
Kiel’s eyebroitched He barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes “Of course you are fine I auy”
Elaru scratched her head and grinned sheepishly “The other guy has a giant hole in the middle”
She only realized horong that sounded after she said it, but before she could elaborate Kiel raised his eyebrow “You ruptured a healing potion tank?”
Elaru gaped at hi bewilderedly: “How did you know?”
Kiel snapped his book shut “Why else would you be covered in a healing potion? It is drunk, not applied externally The only way you could have it all over you is if soe the stain is, it had to be a very large bottle Considering how it has ‘a giant hole in the oods usually kept in tanks, it was obviously a ruptured tank”
Elaru nodded, her eyes glittering with appreciation “They could have been blood stains, though Everyone else see crowd
Kiel’s eyes didn’tin her eyes He didn’t knohy, but it ely satisfied His mouth involuntarily twitched into a small smirk
“Not everyone is gifted with common sense You don’t reek of blood You reek of ot up from his seat “And also, if it was an ordinary liquid or blood, you could have Cleansed it”
Elaru sniffed her shi+rt and frowned “It doesn’t reek, it smells sweet Like a perfume”
Kiel’s eyebrows rose, and his s?”
Elaru stared at hiroider and wider He finally lorious ht now couldn’t be put into words He didn’t knohy, but suddenly he felt that today was a very nice day It was almost… as if… he was actually… happy?
Finally, Elaru ed to respond with: “I see your point”
“How did you end up rupturing a tank anyway?” Kiel raised one eyebrow inquisitively
“As expected of a guy worthy to be my soulmate Your deduction ability is marvelous” Elaru responded with her tradeet what they were talking about Anyone but Kiel “Don’t change the subject”
Elaru ignored his protest and gazed at hiaze It was as if she was looking at soely uncomfortable
She spread her arms and exclaimed “Come here, you”
