Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 100:

The students in the classroom all stood up and took the survey forms from the podium.

Soon, they carefully examined the forms and were shocked.

“Wow, this is crazy. Is this for real?”

“No. How is this lineup possible?”

“What’s going on? Did our school win a huge prize at the Royal Capital Festival or something?”

Well, it’s understandable that they’re reacting like this.

Tony, Kim Soo-yong’s master.

He is one of the strongest adventurers in history, before being Kim Soo-yong’s master.

He is a retired adventurer who is still revered as a hero by the public.

So it’s not surprising that the students are shocked to see him as an external instructor at the Royal Academy.

Moreover, it’s not just Tony.

From Mikasa, the captain of the Royal Knights, to Makarov, the Great Sage, and Gazel, the legendary figure in both Mage Engineering and Blacksmithing.

In fact, it’s understandable that the students are shocked to see all four of them at once.

Of course, no matter how strong they are, they are infinitely weaker than Ange.

‘That’s something that can’t be helped.’

Anyway, since I’ve already seen Ange, who is impossible to conquer, I’m not as excited as the others.

Or maybe it’s because I already knew about it.

I’m not sure, but I didn’t feel as excited as the other students.

‘Since I’ve already seen the constellation, it’s fine.’

With that thought, I approached the survey forms on the podium.

“Wow, damn. Karin is known for being busy, but she’s coming here?”

An unexpected name popped up.

Huh? Why is that name mentioned here?

Well, it’s not surprising that Karin is here.

Unlike the original work, she has become famous.

So, it would be strange if she didn’t come.

She is also known as the best in alchemy.

‘Yeah, it’s not bad to see Karin after a long time. I’ve been feeling guilty for not visiting her often lately.’

As I was thinking this,

“….Ange is also coming.”

“is she coming here to see Kaine?”

This time, a completely unexpected person was mentioned.

No, why is Ange mentioned here?

I can understand Karin being mentioned.

Although she’s busy, it’s not like she’s so busy that she can’t make time.

But Ange is different.

The reason I haven’t been able to meet her lately is because.

‘She’s too busy.’

To be honest, after receiving help from her last time, I wanted to go on a date with her alone, but.

Since the incident with the Duke, she has been incredibly busy, working without any breaks.

In fact, every time I visited the temple, she was always away.

But I never expected her to participate in the external instructor invitation.

Considering her achievements, it’s not strange that she’s not here, but.

‘Why do I feel uneasy?’

It feels like she’s not invited to the Royal Academy but is forcing the school to let her participate so that she can meet me somehow.

I had a strange feeling, but.

‘It’s just my imagination.’

Yeah, that’s what it is.

She sometimes goes crazy, but usually, she doesn’t.

For a moment, I denied reality and sat down with the survey form from the podium.

I slowly scanned the form.

‘Hmm.’

As expected, except for the two variables, Ange and Karin, the four people I mentioned earlier were included as expected.

Then, my choices were decided.

After making my decision, I wrote down the four choices on the survey form and stood up from my seat.

The two girls and Jenny, who had been staring at me with intense eyes, also stood up from their seats at the same time.

What’s going on? Were they waiting for me to stand up?

For some reason, I had that thought, but I didn’t delve into it deeply.

[The Goddess of Fate says that those three were definitely waiting for you to stand up.]

No, I didn’t intend to delve into it deeply.

The constellation forced the truth upon me.

Judging by their reactions, it’s clear that Eileen and Skaya had been secretly watching me.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to inform me immediately.

As I was feeling dumbfounded,

“Kaine, who did you choose?”

“Hey, you’re going to listen to Makarov’s lecture too, right?”

“Damn it. Why did you have to find out?”

No, what the hell was that last part?

I felt wronged by Jenny’s gaze.

It’s because she was looking at me with a very displeased and pitiful expression.

For a moment, I remembered what Jenny had said during the last vacation ceremony, that I would be divided in sixth part.

But I shook my head.

‘It’s not a sixth, it’s more like I’ve become even more fragmented.’

As I imagined myself being torn apart, I showed them the survey form instead of answering.

The three of them looked at my survey form with a slightly surprised expression.

“Hmm. I’m quite satisfied. This is acceptable, Kaine.”

“Hmm. It’s a bit unexpected. I thought you would definitely choose that lecture.”

“….What’s going on? Why can I see your future so clearly?”

Unlike the other two, Jenny had a slightly worried expression on her face.

Jenny’s reaction aside, I expected the other two to say those words.

After all, I didn’t choose Ange’s Sacred Studies lecture on my survey form.

“So, are you guys going to listen to it?”

“Yes, I’m going to listen to these two lectures.”

Eileen said this as she handed me her survey form.

The lectures she chose were none other than Tony, Kim Soo-yong’s master, and Mikasa, the captain of the Royal Knights.

She chose to listen to each of these lectures twice.

Hmm. That’s normal.

Usually, students choose to listen to lectures that match their interests multiple times.

It’s actually more unusual for me to choose four different lectures.

After all, even if Eileen learns magic from Makarov, the Great Sage, it won’t be of much use.

Anyway, Eileen chose those two, and.

“Then it’s obvious what Skaya chose. She chose Makarov’s lecture four times, right?”

“Yeah, what else can I do? It’s not like I’ll gain anything by listening to other lectures.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

I nodded and turned to Jenny.

Unlike the other two, Jenny was still seriously pondering, unable to decide.

“Hmm.”

“What’s up? Haven’t you decided yet?”

“No. I did choose, but I’m feeling a bit regretful.”

“Why? What do you mean by listening to it?”

Jenny handed me her survey form.

I looked at Jenny’s curly handwriting and squinted my eyes.

“Your handwriting is terrible.”

“Damn it! Just look at it properly.”

“….Hmm. You chose the lectures of the Royal Knights captain, Tony, and Gazel, which match your interests.”

What was she thinking about?

I looked at her with a puzzled expression, and she spoke in a very timid voice.

“Well, I want to listen to Ange’s lecture, but…. I’m not sure if I should include it or not. That’s what I was struggling with.”

“….Did you get injured in either the left or right brain during the vacation?”

“Do you want to die?”

Jenny cursed at me when I asked out of genuine concern.

I looked at her with a displeased expression.

“Hey, what’s the point of you listening to that lecture? You don’t even have the Sacred attribute. What benefit will you gain from it?”

“…….”

Jenny couldn’t say anything in response to my facts and closed her mouth tightly, like a mute who had just eaten honey.

Then, she explained as if making an excuse.

“Well, when else will I get to see Ange? It’s a rare opportunity.”

“When else will you get to see the other two?”

“….Hey, why are you listening to Gazel’s lecture?”

In response to Jenny’s counterattack, Eileen and Skaya also turned to look at me.

With a curious gaze.

Well, it’s understandable that those three are questioning me.

I don’t have any talent in Mage Engineering or Blacksmithing.

Moreover, they aren’t even my major.

From the three girls’ perspective, it might seem like I’m wasting my time, but I can’t say anything about that.

However, I’m not choosing Gazel’s lecture to listen to it.

To be precise, I’m choosing it to meet Gazel.

I have something to discuss with him.

‘There’s no need to tell them this.’

In response to Jenny’s question, I just shrugged my shoulders.

“Now, let’s go submit the forms to the professor.”

At my attempt to change the topic, Eileen nodded with a suspicious look.

“Yes, let’s do that, Kaine.”

Skaya responded with a curious gaze.

“Okay.”

Jenny looked at me with a suspicious expression, then muttered discontentedly.

“Something feels suspicious…..”

I tried to ignore the three girls’ intense gazes and walked towards the podium to submit the forms.

.

.

.

A week had passed since the entrance ceremony.

During that time, there were some minor incidents.

For example.

“Lise? Are you still mad?”

“…..”

Lise had been sulking for a week.

I looked at Lise, who was pouting and puffing out her cheeks, and stuck out her lips.

‘Is she pretending to be mad or is she actually mad?’

To be honest, I couldn’t tell if she was pretending or genuinely mad.

After all, Lise was quite mischievous.

If I had to explain in one word why she was acting like this, it would be because of a lie.

Yes, I was caught lying, and that’s why she’s acting like this.

Damn it, why did I lie there?

Or why did I trust my intuition?

Let’s go back a week.

.

.

.

Kaine returned to the mansion as usual after the entrance ceremony.

And as expected, Lise was waiting in front of the mansion, looking well-behaved.

Kaine gulped as he saw her.

‘As expected, did Skaya tell her?’

He had a glimmer of hope, but it was unlikely.

After all, it was clear that she was waiting for him in front of the mansion.

‘What should I do? Should I hug her right away to resolve the situation?’

As he walked with a serious expression, he eventually reached Lise.

Just as Kaine was about to quickly make an excuse,

“You’re here, young master.”

Lise spoke in her usual tone and with a calm expression.

Kaine felt a sense of incongruity as he looked at her.

‘Huh? What’s going on?’

He had expected her to be angry or at least show it through her expression, but she reacted differently than expected.

‘….Could it be that Skaya didn’t tell her?’

If that was the case, the current situation would make sense.

Otherwise, Lise wouldn’t be acting so calmly.

‘It’s clear. She didn’t tell her.’

Kaine, who had acted in many plays, trusted his intuition.

His intuition was telling him that Lise wasn’t acting.

[The Goddess of Fate says that the maid doesn’t seem to know what happened to you today.]

Even the constellation said this, so it must be true.

The constellation also had the same thought as Kaine.

Thus, it was confirmed.

Lise didn’t know anything about what had happened today.

‘Then I shouldn’t say anything.’

Kaine entered the mansion with Lise as usual.

Then, she said the usual line.

“Young master, did you have any ‘special’ events today?”

At that moment, Kaine made a single mistake.

He trusted his intuition too much.

“Yes, nothing special happened.”

“…..”

Kaine nodded without hesitation in response to Lise’s question.

The next moment, he felt a sense of incongruity.

‘Huh? What’s going on? Why do I suddenly feel like the air has turned cold?’

Kaine felt the incongruity and looked at Lise.

She stopped walking and turned her body away.

Then, she looked up at Kaine with her eyes, like a cat that had been given a treat and then had it taken away.

‘….Damn it. I’m screwed.’

For the next week, Lise pouted and didn’t initiate any conversations.

Even when Kaine spoke to her, she remained silent, only responding when necessary.

.

.

.

Kaine snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Lise, who was acting calm as usual.

To be honest, on the first day, he really thought she was mad.

At that time, he didn’t lie at all, so it was understandable.

Even Kage was surprised.

‘Master! What did you do to make Lise act like this? I was really trampled by her today!’

He might have even said something like that.

But on the second day.

To avoid further awkwardness, Kaine tried to initiate skinship for the first time. He specifically gave her a back hug.

Then, he apologized in a sensual voice that didn’t suit him, whispering into her ear.

-Twitch!

Lise’s lips curled up for a moment.

However, after less than a second, she returned to her usual calm expression and didn’t say anything.

So, Kaine tried to apologize in a similar way several times.

Of course, each time, the constellation sent him angry messages.

The reason Kaine was confused was that Lise didn’t show any signs of being mad after the second day.

Because of this, Kaine began to doubt if the expression he saw on the second day was just his imagination.

“Lise. Huh? I’m sorry.”

“….What are you sorry for?”

Finally, she seemed to be ready to forgive him.

For the first time, Lise responded to Kaine’s apology.

Kaine answered her question without hesitation.

“Everything.”

“…..”

Kaine’s romantic skills, which he had only learned theoretically from romantic comedy manga, were average at best.

If he didn’t follow the protagonist’s actions, he would at least be in the middle.

Did his apology work?

Lise sighed deeply and looked at Kaine, then.

-Grab!

She grabbed Kaine’s cheeks and stretched them.

“Young master, have I ever complained about you being with other women?”

“Uh….”

There were quite a lot, weren’t there?

Kaine hesitated, and Lise glared at him.

Kaine quickly denied it.

“You didn’t.”

However, because Lise was stretching his cheeks, his pronunciation sounded strange.

“That’s right. Although I sometimes showed my feelings through my expression, I never complained much, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Anyway, I know that you’re always seducing women.”

No, I never seduced anyone.

Just as Kaine was about to say that,

“Shh.”

Lise put her finger on Kaine’s lips.

Then, she continued.

“I’m not pretending to be mad…. I’m actually mad because you lied to me. If you had at least explained, I wouldn’t have acted like this for a week. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Uh, yes.”

So, she was pretending to be mad.

That thought crossed Kaine’s mind, but he nodded anyway.

At the same time.

-Kiss!

Lise stood on her tiptoes and kissed Kaine.

She slowly removed her hand from Kaine’s cheek and spoke in a timid voice, her earlobes slightly red.

“Now, go to school. You have an external instructor today, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Kaine was dumbfounded by the sudden morning kiss, but today was the day of the external instructor’s lecture.

Despite his will, his face turned red, but he quickly left for school.

“I’ll be back.”

“Yes, be careful, young master.”

Meanwhile, Kage, who had been watching them from behind,

“Ugh!”

She was so disgusted by what she saw in the morning that she felt like vomiting.

The constellation, on the other hand, was spamming messages.
