Avoid Yandere Constellation - Chapter 39-2

After discussing with William about when we should have our performance evaluation and reporting to our team leader, we headed to the next lecture.

By the way, Eileen became our team leader through a majority vote.

Technically, team leaders shouldn’t be the ones doing group projects.

Anyway, I arrived at the lecture hall for the next class, which was on mechanical engineering, and sat in an empty seat as usual.

As always, the other students avoided sitting near me.

Oh well, I don’t really need to hang out with younger kids.

As I was justifying to myself, a petite girl named Lucy walked into the lecture hall wearing a white coat and round glasses that covered half her face, and greeted us with a cheerful expression.

Honestly, she doesn’t look like a professor at all.

I remember wondering how it would feel to see a legal loli in real life after seeing them in a manga. but now that I actually see one, all I can think is that she just looks like a kid pretending to be an adult.

I wonder if meeting Junior Kelsey would create some kind of synergy.

Lost in thought, I was suddenly interrupted.

“Kane. Is there a David Von Kane here?”

She was calling my name.

“Yes, I’m here.”

“Oh, I’m glad.”

She let out a relieved sigh and resumed her attendance with sincerity.

After the attendance was finished, the students each took out the items they had made or brought with them.

Of course, I…

“Oh! Kane. I’ve seen this item before, but it’s really amazing!”

I took out the item I purchased with points.

Lucy looked at my magical sniper rifle with sparkling eyes, as if a child had discovered a toy.

That’s right, it’s a really impressive item.

A magical sniper rifle.

It’s just a sniper rifle that contains magic. However, its performance is clearly different from the guns on earth.

Ordinary guns tend to have recoil and loud noises, but this gun I purchased with points releases magic instead of bullets.

Not only that, there is no recoil and it doesn’t make a loud noise.

Well, the only downside is that its power varies depending on how much magic is infused into it, but still, there’s no better item for assassination or a finishing blow.

As someone who was called the Flame Legion sniper, it’s a perfect item for me.

[Goddess of Destiny asks. How did you make an ancient item?]

As usual, the constellation showed interest in my beautiful and thick item.

Well, that’s natural.

From the perspective of others, they don’t know how I obtained it. But for the constellation, since she saw me purchase it with points, it’s not unreasonable for them to think that way.

In the first place, from her perspective, an ancient item just appeared out of thin air.

Even if she thinks that I created the item, it’s not strange.

Lucy couldn’t only look at my item, so she carefully examined each and every item brought by other students.

“Well, as expected, everyone brought good items.”

Satisfied with her words, Lucy smiled and got back up onto the stage.

“Normally, I would tell you to interpret and design all the items you brought today, but as you all know, the first-year performance evaluation is coming up soon. Therefore, let’s interpret as much as we can until the performance evaluation is over.”

With that, as usual, the magic engineering lecture began.

…

The day of the first performance evaluation was approaching.

I walked to the meeting place where I and my fellow group members, Irene and Jenny, had agreed to meet at the academy as usual.

Where could they be?

I looked around, searching for them.

“Kane, over here!”

Jenny spotted me first and shouted out loud.

I turned my head in that direction and approached the two of them.

Jenny greeted me with her usual lively face, while Eileen…

“Have you arrived?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Well then, let’s go to the auditorium.”

Since the provocation incident, Eileen always pouts her lips whenever she sees me.

Jenny saw her doing that and chuckled, whispering to Eileen.

“How long are you going to keep pretending to be mad? You should have let it go by now.”

“I-I’m not pretending!”

“Yes, you are. Anyway, it’s okay if you keep pretending to be mad, but are you going to keep that attitude during the performance evaluation?”

“… Don’t worry. I can separate work from personal feelings.”

“Well, that’s a relief.”

I felt like I overheard something I shouldn’t have, so I raised the volume on my phone, pretending not to have heard anything.

Hmm, I wonder if things will go as planned?

I was worried that the side effects might come into play, but nothing had really changed since the duel. So, there shouldn’t be any problems.

It wasn’t until later that I realized how naive I was to think that way.
