“How am I supposed to react to this?”

Looking at the fools gathered in a bustling crowd, I could only lament whether these were really the talented individuals of Aios Academy who would be responsible for the future of the Frisia Kingdom.

Amidst that, a 4th-year male student who seemed to be the representative of the group, wearing a headband that read ‘Seria Deloa belongs to everyone,’ stepped forward.

“Daniel McLean! I don’t know how you managed to make Seria play with that dirty magic! But if you dare to hurt that child, our iron maces will strike you down.”

“Women are not your tools!”

“Don’t act up, you ugly bastard!”

“Don’t get carried away, you commoner!”

Behind them, they were just cursing at me?

This didn’t make me angry or furious, but I only felt pity for the male students who had been bewitched by a fox-like woman and ended up like this.

Eve, Tana, and the others behind me tried to step forward to defend me, but I raised my hand to stop them.

If the girls got involved here, they might be labeled as women who had been taken by me, and I didn’t know what kind of bad reputation would stick to them.

“So what do you want to do?”

As I slowly clenched my fists and took a step forward, the men immediately tucked their tails and retreated in sync with me.

The man who had come forward the most earlier shouted in a hurry.

“W-We oppose violence! We hope that, as students of the academy, you will compete with logic and intellect, not violence!”

“Right now, you guys are the most emotional ones.”

They were angry and rushing at me like this, thinking that the woman they liked had been taken away by another man, and they talked about logic and intellect?

“All I see in my eyes is vulgar desire.”

Fortunately, their eyes hadn’t completely turned, so when I pointed out their behavior, they hesitated without saying much.

Let’s drive the point home here.

“And let’s make it clear. I’m not dating Senior Seria. I don’t like her either…… No, but who the hell spread this kind of rumor in the first place? I want to go beat them up.”

“…… You’re not dating?”

Are they finally willing to listen?

“Yes, I’ve never confessed. I’ve never been confessed to either. We have no relationship at all, so please stop this now. I’m really getting angry. Stop attaching curses and letters to my door too.”

When I said this much, the male students slowly began to admit that they had misunderstood something, but someone from the crowd shouted.

“Then what about Rin going to your room!”

“That’s right! I’ve seen other girls going to your room a few times too.”

The ones who said that just now seem to like girls other than Seria?

The funny thing was that it wasn’t me who reacted to those voices.

Among themselves, arguments like “He’s a heretic!”, “You like girls other than Seria!” started to go back and forth.

Taking advantage of this gap, I turned my gaze back to my room’s regular visitors.

“See? I told you to stop coming to my room.”

“B-But Daniel, you rarely go out except when exercising.”

“That’s right! Before, I asked other male students to call you out, but you ignored them!”

“I come through the window.”

“……”

I couldn’t say anything because it was true.

Other than exercising, I didn’t really have any other hobbies, so I usually slept in my room or read books recommended by Eve.

And coming through the window was not something to brag about.

“Ah, whatever! I don’t know either, so everyone get lost!”

I still had some strength training left to do, but I couldn’t exercise properly in this atmosphere.

In the end, I tried to run away by pushing through the students, but…

“Ah, there you are.”

Just in time, the emerald-colored hair that sparkled like a gem, the 4th-year madonna, Seria Deloa, appeared.

She seemed to have dressed up quite diligently as if she was going out for a drink today, and the male students in front of her immediately drooled like dogs, liking it.

“Wow, she’s insane today.”

“She’s really pretty.”

“I want to marry her.”

Anyway, those guys were steeped in desire.

In any case, thanks to the appearance of the bait named Seria, I tried to leisurely escape from the crowd, but unfortunately, this wasn’t bait, but a spotlight.

Seria Deloa, who stopped right in front of me, greeted me with a smile.

“Hello, Daniel. Long time no see? I was so disappointed to hear that you suddenly went to Batian.”

What the heck?

I don’t think we had a proper conversation even when we were self-studying as supplementary classes during the field trip, but she suddenly came out like this?

‘There must be some ulterior motive here.’

If it turned out like this, it meant that this woman was also the mastermind who spread this damn rumor.

‘How should I handle this?’

It wasn’t very easy to respond.

For now, she just greeted me, didn’t she?

I only had a hunch that she had spread the rumor, but no physical evidence.

In the first place, there couldn’t be physical evidence of spreading a rumor.

“S-Seria! Are you dating that guy?”

The 4th-year male student who had been at the forefront supporting Seria finally gathered the courage to ask, and Seria Deloa shook her head with an embarrassed expression.

“No, not yet.”

Not yet?

The other male students immediately glared at me as if they would tear me apart with their eyes burning.

My head started to throb again.

No matter what I said here, it was obvious how it would be heard by those guys.

If I said I had no intention of dating her, I would become a damn guy who disrespected Seria Deloa.

If I said I also wanted to date her, I would become a damn guy who snatched Seria Deloa away.

‘I think the former would be better.’

I didn’t like the latter anyway, and it would leave room for those guys to keep talking behind my back.

There was only one choice anyway.

I tried to refuse right here, but Seria Deloa, who took the lead, smiled slightly.

“That’s right, not yet. There will be opportunities in the future, right?”

But funnily enough, this woman seemed convinced that I would definitely date her.

“No, I’m telling you. Let’s play rock-paper-scissors to decide the order. I also want to try the Daniel-style critical strike on women.”

“I learned something from the Chokugen Faction. It’s a technique that will make you unable to get out of bed for about a week. If I go first, there won’t be a turn for Eve, so let me go first.”

“Wow, really? Thank you!”

“Umm…… Couldn’t you go a bit easier? There are a lot of people watching too.”

Behind me, Eve and Sen were having some grotesque conversation, which Hayun managed to mediate.

Tana also signaled to me with her eyes, telling me to end the conversation quickly before the kids got ruined.

“I’m sorry, but Senior……”

“Absolutely not.”

A familiar yet long-unheard female voice took over and said what I was trying to deny.

At the sound coming from the entrance of the academy, all the students turned their heads, and everyone’s gazes were fixed.

There was Adriana, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, and a dwarf and a beastman, but that wasn’t really important to the male students.

Because the number one fantasy girlfriend that the male students wanted to have in reality was standing there.

A blonde elf with a sensual figure.

“E-Eris? How are you here?”

Moreover, Eris, who had one of the best appearances even among elves, approached me with clicking steps and linked arms with me.

“Daniel is already taken by me.”

Seria Deloa’s mouth gaped open.

The other female students weren’t inferior in terms of appearance either.

They were all beautiful women, but…

She was an elf.

A very rare and precious race that you would never see normally, only appearing in fairy tales and imagination.

That uniqueness was blinding the students’ eyes.

Wouldn’t it look like there was a halo shining on her to the students?

“Ah……”

“Crazy.”

“Damn……”

The fan club members were no longer even paying attention to Seria, who had dressed up to the fullest.

No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn’t reach Eris, who had just finished her travels.

Soon, conviction filled the male students’ eyes.

The conviction that there was no way Daniel McLean would be interested in Seria Deloa took root within them.

Because an elven woman who was incomparable was standing confidently by his side.

“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding… but I’m not sorry.”

“You son of a bitch, may all your hair fall out.”

“Die early, please die early, not from old age.”

The male students left, each saying a very nice blessing.

To them, Seria Deloa was a single flower growing on the back mountain.

If they had a little courage, if they were a little faster, there was a chance to pick it.

Then what about Eris?

Perhaps she looked like a flower in the Demon Realm Forest to them.

The difference in level was so severe that Seria Deloa’s shocked and stupid expression was soon followed by her face turning red with humiliation and anger.

In the end, she glared at me and twisted her body to return to the dormitory.

“What should we do? There’s no elf version of the Daniel-style critical strike.”

“More than that, I feel like hitting Daniel now. That expression is really annoying.”

“Kids, let’s go back now.”

“Daniel! Have a good time!”

Eve and Sen changed their target, but Hayun and Tana purposely took the kids away to give me and Eris some time alone.

As for the witch Adriana, the dwarf, and the beastman behind Eris, they also kept some distance to give us time to reunite, but…

“Long……”

“You weren’t swayed or anything like that, right?”

I tried to greet her again, but Eris firmly gripped my arm she was holding and asked.

“Of course not! I’m single-hearted!”

When I answered excitedly, just in case, Eris replied with a small laugh as if whispering.

“What a good boy.”

“……”

Yeah, since there was quite an age difference, she could call me that.

But it felt kind of strange.

However, I couldn’t even imagine what kind of reaction would come if I said this, so I just kept my mouth shut.
