My Magical System - Chapter 239

They were also able to meet his younger sister. If Herro didn’t know of Eina beforehand, his reaction would have been the same as the reaction of others. He would also think that Eman and Sol are a married couple and their child is Eina.

After Eman’s conversation with Instructor Stuwart, he immediately returned to the barracks where Sol and Eina were waiting. But, as he walked back, the glances of the other students around were noticeable. He also heard some whispered words. However, Eman chose not to pay attention to it.

When he returned to the barracks, he found out that Sol and Eina had left to take a tour of the Female department. “Really?” He did not expect it. But soon he smiled. “That’s good then,” his reply to Faye, who told him about it. “By the way, I have an announcement,” he said.

Except for himself, only Paula and Faye are present in the barracks at the moment. Herro and Fatsu already went back to their respective classes. After getting their attention, he narrated what his announcement was.

“Ooh~ a meeting for everyone…?”

Eman nodded from Faye’s muttering. Then, he set a date for a meeting for all the members of Merciless Clan to discuss his plans for the future of the clan as well as the barracks. He has things planned and he wants to let everyone know to discuss whether everyone agrees to it. He didn’t want this clan to remain just a rust cleaner to earn points. He wanted to improve the clan even for a slight.

There were many things he wanted to discuss with all the members of the Merciless clan. One of them was about the competition.

“Don’t worry, dear lead. We will relay this to the deputy and Fatsu,” said Paula.

Eman nodded. “That’s good. Thanks in advance.”

“Fufu. No biggie. We’re looking forward to the meeting,” Paula replied.

After hearing it, he noticed Faye moving a little closer to him.

“Lead, how did you know that beauty?”

The question came up from nowhere. They already bombarded him with questions along those lines a while ago, but they ceased coming when Eman announced that he had something he needed to attend to in the faculty. So he left in haste, leaving Eina and Sol in the barracks. He was able to survive their interrogation at that time. However, it seemed like he underestimated Faye’s curiosity about it.

He let a sigh escape first before starting narrating how he ended up knowing Sol. “There isn’t actually anything special in how I ended up knowing her…” he noticed the excitement in Faye and Paula’s gaze at him as he began saying. Probably excited to hear more. This made him feel guilty, though just a little bit.

“Ahem!” After clearing his throat, he started recalling the imaginary event that never really happened. “W-We met after the subjugation mission. S-Since I lacked money, while I was waiting for my reward from the palace, I thought of doing some part-time job first. So I decided to take a stroll in the town, hoping for a chance to find some minor jobs with good pay. Uhm, at that time, I saw a poster. A wealthy traveler, probably a traveling noble, looking for a part-time bodyguard. I took it and followed the address written on it. The owner of that poster was no other than… Lady Sol. And that’s how I ended up knowing her.”

He wondered if they believed his story. It was a lie though.

“Wah~ what is this? It seems like a good romance story!” Paula said with great excitement with his palms on both his cheeks. While Paula said this, he also heard Faye’s muttering. “Yes, yes! Does this mean that the Leader has completely forgotten about Miss Hannah?”

He didn’t know how he would react in this situation where his comrades exaggerated his story, so he just let whatever was running through their minds. As for Hannah, he feels too complicated for her. As Yeman, he didn’t really feel anything for her, but there seems to be regret that his body feels. So, as of now, as the new Eman, he decided not to think about her.

But, unbeknownst to Eman the gossip about him and Sol was even faster than he thought. It spread and reached the other fence. It already reached the Female Department.

While in the Training Area, at the back of the school, where trees surround the extensive training platforms, Hannah suddenly heard students muttering. She heard the name Sol from their mouths. In the Female Department, this name has become resonant. She was often seen with the princess and Mina of the Skyblaze family. Although curious, it still dominates Hannah to ignore them. She was not in the habit of joining other people’s gossip.

It’s not that she’s against gossip, it’s just that she’s not really in the habit of participating in this matter. She knows that most of the time the content of the real story is often reduced or altered to fit the listener. So it’s not a credible source if people want to hear about things around. Moreover, as a noble family, they have many ways to obtain reliable information.

The sun is already hot and tired students can be seen lounging around with traces of sweat on their faces. During this time they often had time to gossip with friends.

As usual, she still had no intention of listening to or joining their gossip. Hannah was about to leave when… “Wha— Really? That Eman ?! ” Suddenly a student shouted.

Hannah was slightly taken aback when she heard that name mentioned. She frowned. There was some kind of magic it carried that stopped her in her tracks. She focused her ears on the speakers.
