I Got a Fake Job at the Academy

Chapter 837 - Side Story 110: Sometimes a Wise Response (2)

Rudsela quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

It wasn't that she wanted to listen on purpose, but she thought it wouldn't be polite to refuse when Teacher Bielin was pestering her to watch together.

In fact, personally, it was also true that her curiosity was piqued.

Love stories between men and women work regardless of era, place, age, or gender.

That was no exception even for Rudsela.

However, what was surprising was that it was the personality of the man named Rudger who felt strong curiosity about this situation.

Conversely, the personality of Rudsela as a woman had absolutely no interest in this kind of romance.

It couldn't be helped.

Rudger had finished all his tasks and finally regained peace, but Rudsela was still in the middle of her tasks.

Because Rudsela lived a busy life without being able to rest even a single day, she didn't even glance at things like love or romance.

That was why her Owens colleagues were surprised when she was the first to suggest drinking.

She didn't have the luxury to pay attention to such things.

But Rudger was different. He had plenty of leisure and was ready to enjoy everything with the spirit of a new challenge.

"Why won't you accept my feelings!"

That's why even the sound of raising her voice like that stimulated a strange curiosity and enjoyment.

'The other person is, well. I vaguely expected it, but is it the little wolf?'

The eldest son of Ulburg, one of the three ducal houses, Freuden Ulburg.

Ah, in this place it was Priscilla Ulburg, wasn't it?

Neat and tidy deep black hair that reached down to her waist.

Similar to Rudsela, but unlike Rudsela who grew her hair with a slightly androgynous feel, the major characteristic was that her hair was neatly arranged.

Sharp and fierce, yet her sharp and harmonious appearance was beautiful enough to touch the heartstrings of many men.

Anyway, she was now raising her voice in front of Rienon.

However, what was peculiar was that rather than being angry at the other person's actions, the tone was more pleading.

"I like you! I'm the eldest daughter of a ducal house! And I'll be the person who becomes the next head of the Freuden family!"

Priscilla explained in detail how great a person she was.

They were words with such high self-esteem that even the person secretly eavesdropping felt their face grow hot.

'Well, if she's the eldest daughter of one of the three ducal houses, her self-esteem would be that high.'

However, to Rudsela, who believed that dignity should be revealed naturally without needing to show off to be more effective, Priscilla's behavior couldn't be felt as much different from an adolescent girl's tantrum.

"You can become the son-in-law of a ducal house. There's no greater fortune in the world than this. So why do you keep rejecting me!"

"Wow. Such a passionate and blatant confession. Young people these days are really hot. Ohoho."

Teacher Bielin, who was eavesdropping from the side, spoke in a voice that couldn't hide her enjoyment.

"Actually, I've been secretly watching from before, but it wasn't to this extent. I think something must have been a trigger to reach this stage of crisis like now."

She was even calmly admitting to having committed similar crimes before.

Because the situation was quite interesting to point out each one, Rudsela just kept quiet and watched.

"What am I lacking? Why won't you accept my feelings?"

"Th-that, senior Priscilla."

"Now you won't even call me noona? Like you used to?"

Bielin swallowed her breath. Noona? This was new information that hadn't existed until now.

A new past record was added to the relationship diagram between Rienon and Priscilla in Bielin's mind.

The two had met in the past. They were even close enough for him to call her noona. However, they separated for some reason and met again after a long time.

Having finished organizing the data like that, Bielin watched the two people's lover's quarrel with an even more devout mindset.

"Why, exactly?"

There was even moisture in Priscilla's voice.

Anyone who knew her would have fainted in surprise if they saw this.

The behavior Priscilla usually showed was truly the ice princess herself.

She didn't give anyone a glance and had cruelly rejected and trampled countless confessions.

The wolf leader who leads the noble faction group.

The Wolf Queen.

That was her nickname.

Such a Priscilla was now showing a weak appearance in front of a young man.

Moreover, that young man was even a commoner. For Priscilla, who never bowed even to royalty, to become a delicate woman to a commoner.

It was a major incident that wouldn't be strange to be featured on the front page of the school newspaper.

However, fortunately, the place where the two were having their conversation was a secret place that people didn't often visit, so there were no eyes watching except for two people.

'This world's Priscilla seems to be a bit more emotional.'

Rudsela found Priscilla's behavior curious.

Freuden Ulburg also liked Rene. But he didn't come forward this actively or act this emotionally.

'Perhaps this is the difference between a woman and a man.'

Whatever it was, unlike Freuden, Priscilla showed a much more aggressive offensive and approached Rienon.

The problem was that Rienon didn't even accept that.

"You could tell me the reason."

"A reason. That's......"

Rienon trailed off, feeling Priscilla's deep emotions.

Just looking at that appearance, it seemed like there was a very complex and profound reason why he couldn't accept.

But the reality wasn't like that.

'Even if you suddenly say this, I'm in trouble!'

Rienon screamed internally.

The difference between Freuden from the other world and the current Priscilla was far too great.

Suddenly calling him aside separately, almost forcing a confession, and even getting angry when he couldn't accept it.

'Was senior originally this kind of personality?'

In Rene's memories, when told no, Freuden would at least cleanly acknowledge it at that moment and step back.

So Priscilla's behavior like this was only bewildering.

'Besides, even if a woman confesses to me now, it's actually harder to accept.'

Because he had the personality of Rene, he couldn't easily accept a woman's confession.

Although the body was that of a man, the mind was that of a woman.

So Priscilla's confession only felt like a confession from the same gender, not from the opposite sex. It was even uncomfortable enough to say everything.

However, because he couldn't clearly explain this reason, it was even more frustrating for Priscilla.

She bit her lips tightly, then stared at Rienon with an even more venomous gaze.

That appearance showed in one stroke why she was called the Wolf Queen.

"I see. I understand why you won't accept my feelings."

"You understand......"

"Rudsela. It's because of that teacher, isn't it?"

At Priscilla's words, Rienon swallowed his breath. That was a natural reaction shown by someone whose vital point was struck.

'Huh?'

Rudsela, who didn't expect her name to come up here, was flustered.

When she turned around because she felt a gaze from the side, Teacher Bielin was staring this way with wide eyes.

"Teacher Rudsela. No matter what, laying hands on a student......"

"It's not like that."

Rudsela had no choice but to speak with a serious expression, which was rare for her. Her voice contained a bit of embarrassment.

What does she take me for, trying to link me with a student?

"Of course, Teacher Rudsela is beautiful enough and popular with students, so you could. But still, there's something called public opinion. Student and teacher. How dangerous is that?"

"I'll say it once more, it's not like that."

"But I'm still supporting you! Rather, isn't that kind of love more burning? Actually, I kind of want to see it."

There was a strange heat in Bielin's pupils.

It was a reaction of liking it even more when the romantic comedy she usually enjoyed watching had changed into a stimulating morning drama.

Rather, she was obviously hoping for something to happen between this side and Rienon.

Meanwhile, Priscilla's words continued.

"I knew it. Looking at that reaction, it's right."

"N-no. Senior. It's not like that!"

"What do you mean it's not! You do like Teacher Rudsela, don't you? What's so good about that ajumma!"

What's so good about that ajumma?

What's so good about that?

Ajumma?

Priscilla's shouted cry echoed into Rudsela's heart like an echo.

'Wh-what?'

Rudsela felt a pain as if her heart was being torn apart for a moment.

Why did that single word 'ajumma' pierce through her lungs like a dagger?

When living as Rudger, he had heard the word 'ajeossi' (uncle) several times while changing various identities.

Because he had intentionally acted to give off that feeling, Rudger didn't think much of it. Because nothing changed just because he heard a title.

But hearing the word 'ajumma' (auntie) as Rudsela, and from a fresh Theon student at that, felt like something was welling up inside.

Because that cold and calm Rudsela's personality was about to boil over with anger, Rudger had to suppress it as much as possible.

"A-ajumma? Senior. Isn't that too harsh, no matter what?!"

Rienon frowned and pointed out Priscilla's behavior.

Because he had the personality of a woman, he knew very well how much Priscilla's words just now crossed the line.

This was a part he could empathize with because he had Rene's memories, and therefore could get angry on her behalf.

"You, you. Why are you raising your voice? Did I, did I do something so wrong?"

Rather, Priscilla widened her eyes and twisted her eyebrows as if wronged.

Seeing that appearance, Rienon thought to himself.

'Ah, this is bad.'

It was a judgment made simultaneously by the personality of the man named Rienon and the personality of the woman Rene.

"You can't do that. I, I've been so......"

Perhaps overcome with emotion while speaking, Priscilla soon turned around and ran away far off.

"S-senior!"

Rienon couldn't catch Priscilla like that and stood as if nailed to the spot.

Bielin, who had been secretly watching, bit her finger.

"What are you doing! You have to chase after her and catch her! Ah really. To feed me sweet potato at such an important moment. You should immediately chase after her, apologize, and then have a hot kiss. That's the standard!"

Rudsela glanced at Bielin with an even colder gaze.

Does this elf even have the awareness that she's a teacher?

Rudsela, who got a headache, shook her head side to side.

She had eavesdropped thinking there might be something interesting, but instead got involved in an even more troublesome matter.

Naturally, Bielin's gaze shifted to Rudsela.

"Teacher Rudsela. I'd like to hear an explanation."

"I refuse."

"Ohoho. I'm not trying to blame you, teacher. Rather, isn't this kind of love triangle more fun... more interesting... anyway."

"You're not planning to deny it, are you?"

"As a teacher, I can't just leave this relationship alone. I'll give you advice as a senior in life. So could you explain how this came about?"

Rudsela felt cold sweat running down her back.

From the looks of it, Bielin wasn't planning to let this side go until she was properly explained to.

"Uh, um. I suddenly remembered something related to tomorrow's class, so may I excuse myself?"

"Oh my. Why are you being like this? Between people who know each other. Come on, hurry and tell me. Who knows? I might be able to give you excellent advice?"

This elf has absolutely no intention of giving up.

"Phew. I understand."

When Rudsela gave in with a sigh, Bielin nodded with an expression that said 'I knew it.'

"Come on, tell me."

"So the thing is......"

While speaking, Rudsela instantly kicked off from her spot and fled from Bielin's faculty office.

"Ah! You tricked me! Stop right there! Teacher Rudsela!"

Rudsela desperately ignored the shout coming from behind and ran down the corridor.

Sometimes flight could be the wisest response.
