After everyone had dispersed, Lynae stood up from the chair, exchanged glances with Ryuji and Rover for a while, then went outside the classroom together with them.
“Thank you both for speaking up for me.”
When saying this sentence, Ryuji felt that Lynae…
Completely did not resemble the Lynae he knew.
Not the least bit sunny and cheerful; instead she seemed somewhat gloomy.
“Why didn’t you tell the truth?”
Rover at this time asked the thing that Ryuji also wanted to ask.
Lynae had ultimately not shown those teachers the cylindrical instrument in her hand that could attract Hyvatia, nor had she told them who the mysterious student she had confronted earlier was.
“…”
But Lynae ultimately did not answer Rover’s question, and instead quickly walked forward.
Regarding this, Ryuji and Rover had to jog a little to keep up.
“What was the instrument you were holding when Hyvatia went out of control?” Rover pressed further.
“Hah, truly direct…”
Facing Rover’s relentless verbal pursuit, Lynae helplessly stopped her steps.
“I thought you would let me off like they did.” Lynae gave a bitter smile.
What she meant here was probably those teachers in the classroom earlier who had chosen not to continue questioning her.
“That’s not very likely.” Rover answered.
Ryuji noticed from the side that Rover’s eyes at this moment were extremely sharp.
It seemed that ever since Lynae appeared in front of that Hyvatia and her identity became suspicious, Rover had often been like this.
Although she usually looked very gentle, toward things that might endanger others, Rover behaved much more severely.
Instead she came right in front of Rover and Ryuji and carefully looked into their eyes.
Compared to Rover’s fearlessness, Ryuji felt a bit of amazement in his heart.
The people of this world… their eyes were all very beautiful.
It was not only that their eye colors were extremely brilliant; more importantly, it was what was inside.
Whether it was Rover’s golden eyes or Lynae’s graffiti-like multicolored eyes, Ryuji felt he could see into their hearts through their eyes.
“Very good. You are still yourselves…”
After saying a sentence that Ryuji could not understand, Lynae turned around.
“Let’s go somewhere else to talk. This place makes it a bit hard for me to breathe, and also…”
Toward the end, Lynae rarely fell somewhat silent.
“Sorry, Ryuji, for dragging you into this.” After Lynae finished speaking, she led Ryuji and Rover forward.
Lynae’s words made Rover also look toward Ryuji.
Unlike Lynae and Rover who might possess a second identity, in their eyes Ryuji was truly just an ordinary person with somewhat strange abilities.
The “ordinary” here referred to his mentality.
Regarding this, Ryuji himself simply spread his hands.
“I originally didn’t have any particular goals either. In the academy for the time being I only have the two of you as friends. Just treat it as gaining more experience.”
His words made Lynae clench her fist, her eyes slightly lowering.
It seemed that because of these remarks of his, she felt even more apologetic.
Because Ryuji sincerely regarded her as a friend, yet she had previously not told the full truth to him and Rover.
He was not the kind of person who would go through fire and water for others.
At least that was what he himself believed.
However, earlier when he saw Lynae encounter danger, when he ordered Nue to carry him toward the battlefield…
Some thoughts that would not have appeared in the past appeared in his heart.
He was a bit afraid.
Afraid that the friend he had just made would die because he did not provide aid.
However…
Even until now, Ryuji still felt that he would place his own life in the first priority.
If it came to a moment of life and death, he would definitely still hide into the shadow like he did earlier when facing Hyvatia.
After thinking this through, Ryuji felt much more comfortable.
“Let’s go. You are the student I brought into the academy. If there is any danger later, I will protect you.”
As if she had seen through Ryuji’s thoughts, Rover placed her hand on Ryuji’s shoulder.
Regarding this, Ryuji felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, he now felt that the thoughts he had just had were actually quite shameful, and yet Rover had somehow noticed them.
Glancing back and seeing this interaction between Rover and Ryuji, Lynae unconsciously revealed a smile.
Her mood improved a little.
Afterward, Lynae led Rover and Ryuji away from the classroom just now and walked toward the library.
“Your true identity is not only that of a student, is it?” Rover asked Lynae on the way.
“Although I am constantly hoping that I am only a pure student.” Lynae said with a bitter smile.
These words of hers could also be considered an indirect answer to Rover’s question.
