I’m Not Doing This With A Friend - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 : I’m Not Doing This With A Friend

Translated by Niks

Edited by Schwarzel

I finally joined the club as if I was possessed. It was like surrendering to his beauty.

 

I don’t even know what the club is doing, but decided on impulse.

What did I just do?

 

···It’s already done, so let’s move on.

 

There’s another thing I learned a little while ago.

 

Yesterday, the boy named Carsion was actually very famous in the academy.

 

If you look at the appearance that doesn’t seem like a human being, you’ll think it’s natural that he’s famous.

 

But he wasn’t famous for his captivating appearance.

 

Carsion was famous for his bad personality.

 

Rumour has it that at an early age, he killed a few aristocrats and hurriedly enrolled in the Academy to settle the case in his family.

 

Besides, a few days ago, he threw his sword and made a rampage with his magic because he didn’t want to sweat during a swordsmanship battle with another student.

 

I didn’t listen to what other people said, but was he that bad?

 

He didn’t look that bad for me yesterday.

 

Perhaps the rumours are too exaggerated.

 

Yes, just now…

 

In the hallway over the window, I stared at Carsion smiling as he raised someone who had fallen down the hallway.

 

Such a nice, pretty smile that kills the hearts of people, it’s just a couple of accidents.

 

* * *

 

Carsion grabbed the kid’s back after hitting his shoulder and threw it on the floor.

 

**THUD**

 

“Ow! What kind of bastard!”

 

“Bastard?”

 

The child who was thrown on the floor screamed loudly. However, he raised his head with trembling eyes, not knowing what to do from hearing this familiar voice.

 

It’s a big deal.

 

I can’t believe that the person who hit the kid was Carsion.

 

“If you hit a person, you should apologize.”

 

“I-I’m sorry.”

 

“Why are you so late?”

 

“I didn’t know it was you, Carsion.”

 

“Then if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have said sorry. Right?

 

“No! That’s never gonna happen!”

 

“Huh?”

 

Carsion stared at the kid. Then he smiles and reaches out his hand to the kid as if to help the kid to get up.

 

I was wondering whether to help the kid or not, but when I realized that the choice was decided anyway, he hurriedly grabbed the kid’s hand to help him.

 

While holding the kid’s hand, Carsion broadly smiled.

 

“You almost hurt my shoulder, but I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll let you go with this.”

 

“Yes?”

 

**Crack**

 

“Ahhh!”

 

Carsion looked annoyed at the kid’s screaming while holding the kid’s broken hand.

 

Then, he smiles again as if he remembered something good.

 

“Today is the first day of the club.”

 

In fact, Carsion was in a very good mood.

 

It was because I was the last member of the club yesterday and he was allowed to open the club.

 

‘I was lucky to get to know him by chance.’

 

Last year, he broke into the swordsmanship club instead of joining the magic-related club which was his major course.

 

Yes, it was good to join the swordsmanship club.

 

As expected, there weren’t many girls in the swordsmanship club, and there weren’t many who followed hin into the swordsmanship club.

 

However, girls tend to visit every day under the pretext of using the gym.

 

I should have expected it after seeing a lot of people chasing me even though they knew my personality.

 

I can’t kill them all.

 

Because of this, Carsion tried to open a club himself.

 

Carsion and Fjord form a club.

 

I don’t know about Carsion, but Fjord has a soft and cute personality that he became very popular with boys as well.

 

The two were always in charge at school as senior assistant, so they must be aiming for better grades.

 

However, none of the applicants was ever satisfied with the perspective of Carsion.

 

This is why I don’t like him.

 

I kept refusing like that…

 

When I came to my senses, all of the other students had joined different clubs.

 

The minimum number of club members is 3.

 

I only needed to join one club, but I couldn’t.

 

Clubs are a big factor in Arena Academy.

 

In other words, few students missed the deadline and cannot join the club like Leen.

 

Eventually, Carsion had to find a scapegoat who had not yet joined a club and force it into the club.

 

Carsion wandered around the school looking for a scapegoat. As he walks staring at the application paper for the club opening, he hears a conversation.

 

“Hey, do you know him?”

 

“…How do I know if you say so?”

 

“The new black-haired girl. I heard that the transfer test was really difficult during the middle of the school year, but she easily passed it.”

 

“Oh. The kid named Leen?”

 

“Do you know her?”

 

“I haven’t actually seen her, but she’s quite famous. They said that she’s really pretty?”

 

“Yes, I’ve seen it once when I was passing by, and I was completely mesmerized.”

 

“What’s wrong with her anyway?”

 

“Everyone looked into what kind of club she was going join, but no one knew what kind of club she’s in. If she had joined our club, I would have bragged about her everywhere.”

 

“Didn’t she miss the deadline and couldn’t apply?”

 

“Hey, she’s such a fool.”

 

“Haha, haha.”

 

Carsion heard their conversation and began to shine.

 

By any chance?

 

There was no harm in checking.

 

As soon as Carsion finished thinking, he approached them and threatened them to find where she was within an hour.

 

After that, exactly an hour later after their voluntary and active cooperation. I heard the from of the brown-haired kid, “I found someone similar.”

 

When Carsion heard that from the brown-haired kid, he gave them an extra 30 minutes with a kind smile.

 

And just in case, I found her wearing a name tag “Leen” at the place I went to.

 

As soon as Carsion confirmed that Leen had missed the application period for the club, he invited her to join his club.

 

It was a club interview, and if you didn’t get Leen, you and Fjord were going to an unpopular club.

 

Which was also random.

 

Therefore, Carsion said in a friendly tone as much as he could because he had to threaten her if she refused.

 

However, the child, Leen, looked calm even when she saw his face.

 

To the point that he stared at her for a longer time. Then she turned around without hesitation, saying that she won’t join the club.

 

At that time, I was embarrassed and almost showed my real personality without realizing it.

 

Somehow, I even made my eyes curve to a smile and ask her to join the club.

 

Now that I think about it, it was a bit strange.

 

It was all the more so because it was the first time in my life that a person had no interest in me, whether I’m a good person or not.

 

Oh. Is your eyesight bad?

 

…I’m sorry to hear that, your face was pretty, but it’s a pity.

 

 

* * *

 

“What’s your eyesight?”

 

“Both 2.0.”

 

Carsion frowned at my answer as if he could not believe it.

 

What is that expression?

 

As if he’s dissatisfied with my good eyesight.

 

“Is there a problem?”

 

However, he didn’t answer my question, and Carsion ignored me as if he had not heard anything.

 

Even if it’s not bad as much as the rumours, still he doesn’t seem like he has a good personality.

 

Did you try to act kind for me to join the club yesterday?

 

I felt the chilled atmosphere and hurriedly changed the subject, pointing to the person in the club room.

 

“Rather than that, is this kid also a member of our club? At least one out of three people?”

 

“Yes, Fjord, introduce yourself.”

 

Carsion shook his hand with an annoying expression. Then a kid called Fjor waved at me.

 

“Hi, I’m Fjord. Are you Leen? I heard from Caon.”

(N: Caon – Carsion’s nickname)

 

He had blond hair and green eyes and introduced himself with a smile that suited his bright personality.

 

Oh my gosh.

 

This club has the two prettiest flowers of the academy.

 

I began to appreciate Fjord’s handsome face.

 

Earlier, I didn’t notice, before I didn’t have to look at him openly because I didn’t know him, but he looks nice.

 

Of course, the kindness here was not about personality, but about the face.

 

“Hi. Fjord, you look really nice.”

 

“Haha. Thank you. I’ve heard a lot of things like that, but I’m more trustworthy because I speak with a calm face.”

 

**Bang!**

 

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a hard hit on the desk.

 

Carsion looked at me and Fjord, the main culprit who made the sound. He looked dissatisfied for some reason.

 

“The introduction is over, so stop chatting.”

 

What do you mean the introduction is over? Does he not know?

 

Fjord and I greeted each other, but in fact, Cassion and I have never told each other our names since we first met.

 

Well, even if we didn’t introduce ourselves, we only need to know each other’s names.

 

“Okay, then just one question.”

 

“What?.”

 

“So what the hell is this club for? What do we do now?”

 

“Play.”

 

“?”

 

“There’s nothing to do, so do whatever you want during club time.”

 

…What are you talking about? What do you mean just play?

 

“Aren’t the grades coming out according to the club’s activity record? Besides, I heard that clubs with no performance will be closed every semester.”

 

Cassion frowned at my words.

 

“We will fill the performance score with monster subjugation, and even if we subjugate, we will put your name in it, so don’t be loud.”

 

Cutting off what I was thinking…

 

I grabbed him by the shoulders and said sincerely.

 

“You’re the best!”

 

In response, Carsion flinched once, and then struck my hand and raised his voice.

 

Oh, my god!

 

“Where do you think your touching?”

 

I couldn’t do anything with the hand that he hit, and I was just stuck in a gloomy posture.

 

“Carsion, were you offended?”

 

“Don’t call my name.”

 

Perhaps angry, Carsion shouted with a slightly red face.

 

I can understand that you don’t want me to touch you, but if I don’t call you by name, what will I call you?

 

I think yesterday’s kindness was for business use.

 

I only saw his face without knowing his personality, so it doesn’t matter.

 

I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a look. Then I took three chairs in the club room and placed them side by side.

 

I can hear Fjord’s questioning voice.

 

“What are you doing Leen?”

 

“Carsi-..”

 

Oh. He told me not his call his name.

 

“That pink-haired kid said I could do anything during club time. I didn’t bring anything today, so I’m going to take a nap.”

 

After answering Fjord’s question in moderation, I laid down on a chair…

 

Carsion glared at me.

 

Oh, why again?

 

“Hey, Pink-Head. Do you have something to say?”

 

He took his eyes off me and answered like a sigh.

 

“No.”

 

“I have-”

 

When I said that like I had something to say to him, Carsion’s eyes turned to me again.

 

“If you’re curious, can you come over here?”

 

“Tell me here.”

 

“But this is a secret that no one should hear?”

 

“I’m not curious about that.”

 

“Oh.”

 

He’s not curious.

 

It’s a shame that I couldn’t tell you the secret, but I think I successfully cleared up the burdensome gaze.

 

I took off my cape and covered it like a blanket.

 

After some time, I slowly fell asleep.

 

“Ha, Mr!”

 

Carsion approached me nervously.

 

“What do you have to say?”

 

I put up with the laughter that was about to burst out.

 

I wonder how he would react when he hears the secret.

 

I gestured at him to come closer.

 

He frowned his eyebrows and then bowed his head as if he had given up.

 

As Carsion’s ears reached my nose, I whispered low in a laughing voice.

 

“Did you actually believe that?”

 

Then, I blew air in his ear.
