Before school, I don’t know when it started to rain outside the window.
The continuous raindrops hit the window sill, and the sound of splashing can be heard outside.
It gets dark earlier than usual, and the magic lights are turned on in the classroom, but sitting in the classroom under this night makes people feel even more anxious.
'It seems like it won't stop for a while...'
Wayne sat on his seat and took a long breath.
He didn't bring an umbrella today.
Although a carriage would come to pick him up, because the school regulations did not allow outsiders to enter without authorization, the carriage driver could only park at the school gate and wait for him.
"Time is up."
The person who came to the classroom this time was not the dean of students, but another strange male teacher.
"Temporary squad leader, please accept the papers."
He said this while opening a document: "The person who reports his or her name next will continue to stay and retake the previously invalidated test paper."
After hearing these words, some people began to become unable to sit still.
"Why! I've already done it, and now I'm going home." One student said.
The male teacher didn't even raise his eyes, "You can go back, but you don't have to come to school tomorrow. Find another school that is willing to accept you."
The student who had spoken just now turned pale and felt a little embarrassed to get off the stage, but he did not dare to say anything more.
"why is it like this……"
"unacceptable……"
The students no longer dare to openly challenge the teacher's authority, but the teachers cannot stop their private complaints.
After walking out of the classroom, Gavin looked back at his classmates who were still sitting in their seats and unable to leave.
"For Qingxi Academy, these students whose family backgrounds are not outstanding are actually dispensable."
"This is why members of the Lily Club have the privilege of not participating in tutoring."
he whispered.
"Because even these teachers who have their backs to the academy don't dare to really conflict with the children of big nobles, let alone use these small rights to threaten them."
"Otherwise, they will definitely suffer the consequences."
Wayne looked at the expressionless male teacher standing on the podium.
"If you say this, it will make me think that the Lily Club is an exclusive camp for villains..."
Although it didn't seem to be that bad originally.
In the corridor, Wayne stretched out his hand over the guardrail to feel the raindrops falling from the sky.
"The rain seems heavier than expected."
"You didn't bring an umbrella? Why don't you come with me..."
"Classmate Wayne!" Another voice suddenly sounded.
Gavin was interrupted by an uninvited guest just in the middle of his words, and the two of them turned around to look at each other.
They saw a girl with braids on both sides and a pair of round glasses approaching them, holding a straight-handled black umbrella in her hand.
"Student Wayne... didn't you bring an umbrella? I, I happen to have one, why don't we go out together."
Her chest rose and fell slightly, as if it took a lot of effort to finish the sentence.
"Oh?" Gavin looked at Wayne meaningfully, and then at the girl.
"Are you Kamil's classmate? I still have something to do, so I'll leave it to you to have my good friend Wayne."
After saying that, Gavin winked at Wayne and ran away without looking back.
"Hey, hello!" Wayne was speechless.
Camille tightened her grip on the umbrella handle.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I must have made things difficult for classmate Wayne..."
"Not...not at all."
Wayne walked down the stairs unhurriedly without comment.
Camille has been following him step by step.
Arriving at the bottom of the teaching building, Wayne stood still.
"I may be a bit direct when I say this, but I want to ask Camille a question. Can you answer me truthfully?"
He turned his gaze sideways and looked at the girl with her head lowered and a very humble expression.
"Do you have something to ask me for?"
Wayne asked seriously.
He was also troubled by the shy, hesitant glances that kept peeking at him.
Can you just tell me if you have something?
"ah?"
Camille was confused for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red. "I, I have nothing to ask for."
Wayne said "Oh" and glanced at her.
"Don't bother Kamil, I can go back by myself," he said.
Camille's expression changed: "But, but..."
Wayne smiled, "Isn't it just raining?"
He stretched out his palm, light flashed, and a solid earth wall appeared directly above his head.
"I am a magician."
"Let's go." Leaving these words behind, he rushed into the night in the drizzle.
All that was left was Camille standing there at a loss.
The rain was still pouring down, hitting the ground with firm force.
Occasionally, some water splashes into the rest area at the entrance to the teaching building.
"...I didn't do it well." She murmured.
The long-handled umbrella that she had just raised to her chest out of nervousness drooped weakly.
Originally, I wanted to muster up the courage to get closer to classmate Wayne.
Maybe it was noticed.
It was obvious that her motives were not pure.
Yes, it's not enough to just think, "If I can have a good relationship with him, my father might be satisfied with it."
I feel that I am inferior in this way.
Even if you want to be friends with someone at a certain moment, the first thing that emerges from the bottom of your heart is the fear that your father will ask you to please the other person.
Without even realizing it, I have become unable to communicate honestly with others.
so terrible.
She opened the umbrella and listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella.
It was as if the cold rain was passing through my body, soaking me right to my heart.
"well--"
In the small world separated by the rain curtain, she sighed deeply.
Only this tranquility of being alone can truly belong to you.
The rain was getting heavier and the wind was blowing.
The small umbrella was stretched thin, so Camille walked forward blankly, her school uniform and shoes all wet.
Most students would go to school in a carriage, but Camille's father didn't have that much spare money that he was willing to spend on her.
"Doesn't the carriage cost money? Does the coachman don't cost money?"
This is what he said when he tried to ask him for it.
"You're not that delicate! Just spend more time walking."
She understands her father.
Because her family is indeed not well-off, besides herself, she also has a brother and a sister.
It's just that none of my brothers and sisters are as lucky as me, being able to enter Qingxi Academy to receive the top education in the kingdom.
Among the whole family, only the father would go to the business to rent a carriage a few times when he needed to attend important occasions.
For nobles' interactions, it was an essential expense.
We all live under the same sky, but there are such big differences between people.
But, she's used to this kind of life, so it doesn't matter.
She will take advantage of the opportunity to study in Qingxi Academy. As long as she graduates from here successfully, she will definitely have a good future.
While walking, a carriage slowly passed by.
Then he slowed down again and walked alongside her.
The curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing Wayne's face.
"You just walked home soaked like this?"
