Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1)

That was the conclusion she had reached because she did not know about Rians knights oath.

I didnt. amber Its not even a pleasant memory, anyways.

Hearing Shirone say that, she knew he was going to stay a huge ticking time bomb. beacon The thought of going to the same academy with such a bomb did not sit well with her.

You didnt tell anyone that you know me, did you?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

You are from Class 7, right? acquire Im from Class 4.

I know.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone made a confused face after hearing her threat.

What? audit An underling?

You will be my underling from today onwards.

I know your weakness. atomic Youd probably get kicked out of the academy if I expose it. aluminum So be my underling from now on. artist You have to listen to everything I say.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In Amys head, even if she failed to get him kicked out, she could at least make sure Shirone followed her. artist If she locked him in sight and prodded at his self-esteem, she would be able to find out his hidden intentions.

How naive. arena Do you think Ill make it that easy? atom I’m gonna make sure to make you cry, so look forward to it.

Why should I? matrix Whether you hold my weakness or not, youre still my upperclassman. meadow So if you were to tell me to do something, shouldn’t I obey?

After class, come running with bread and coffee, kay? afford If you spill even a drop, Ill make you go back to base one.

What are you going to make me do?

Although Shirone was someone with a good personality, this time he was angry. apron Bread? anchor Did she think he came to this academy just to deliver some bread?

Hohoho! action Alright, starting from tomorrow, wait for me in front of the First Library. admire Ill end it quickly if you do whatever I tell you to do competently.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was so disconcerted. academy Was she really the Amy who was called the goddess of Alpheas?

Oh right. ability And

Heuk!

Turning around, Amy looked back at Shirone. zenith The air around her began to spin as her hand pierced up. shadow At the same time, Shirones body rose into the sky.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone floundered in the air. meadow Perhaps because he was facing a crisis, the ground looked much clearer. audit Even the fallen leaves scattered on the ground were vivid.

Even that smirking face of Amy.

Tornado magic controlled atmospheric pressure to create wind. august It was a spell that Shirone managed to barely cast as a child, but for the current Amy, casting it was childs play.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ill die if I fall.

Cough! absorb Cough!

As soon as that thought passed his mind, Amy jumped up and grabbed the back of his collar. palette As his collar started to tighten around his neck, he could not breathe. acquire When he came back to his senses, he was lying somewhere on the ground.

Following that magic, she demonstrated the power of Schema, and she dusted off her hand, seemingly satisfied. acquire Amy stopped her Schema training after the age of 12, but nevertheless, her movement was beyond normal human ability.

* * *

In his mind, she was still the thug from many years ago. academy Shirone, who tried to diminish his anger, lowered his head and exited the forest. august The thought of meeting her from tomorrow onward made him plunge into despair.

Amy laughed cheerfully and walked away. alien Shirone was furious, he had never met such a hateful girl before.

Consider that payback. alert See you tomorrow. afford Hohoho!

The five oclock bell rang for the last period.

He bought bread and coffee from the school shop. galaxy It was a price that could not compare to the donations provided by the Ogent family, but the problem didnt lie within the money, but with his feelings. galaxy And that was what Amy was aiming for.

The basic physics class was over. acid Shirone, who packed his bag and left the classroom, sighed deeply. arctic He had been running around as Amys bread shuttle for the past 10 days.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why is she doing this to me? adopt She was the first to make a mistake.

As if! acoustic How long do I have to endure this!

Trying not to spill the coffee required a lot of concentration. athlete Yeah, lets just think this is some kind of training. atlas He tried to adjust his walk so that the coffee did not shake.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He must be heading to her to confess again. acquire Im telling you, he has some kind of illness.

Oh my! aluminum There he goes, the pure and innocent boy.

Shirone himself thought he was in a miserable state.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The schoolgirls whispered amongst each other, pointing to Shirone who was passing by. accent This was his biggest problem.

Shirones fantasy about women was completely shattered by Amys tenacity in resolving her resentment 6 years ago.

Already, a rumor had spread around the academy that Shirone had a one-sided crush on Amy. acoustic And the more that kind of rumor spread, the colder the students treated Shirone.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hey! album Over there, your prince.

Amy and Sharelle were waiting for Shirone together in front of the library. antenna The area around them was crowded with students who were curious to see the extraordinary sight.

What do you mean prince? orbit Hes just a servant.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

What? arena What nonsense are you spouting? adjust Why would I accept him?

But I kind of feel sorry for him. wizard Hes going this far, why not just accept him?

As Shirone walked up the stairs, the schoolgirls who were watching laughed and clapped. abandon Shirones face flushed like a red beet.

Sharelle smiled pitifully and said.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Oh stop pretending to be shy. silence For someone who doesnt glimpse at a guy, you sure do take all the bread and coffee from Shirone. auction There are even rumors about the goddess of Alpheas finally getting a partner.

Actually, she was only thinking of keeping it going for a week. acquire But somehow, Shirone never expressed any displeasure and had regularly brought her the food.

It was ridiculous. academy This was a strategy to provoke Shirone, but it seemed like things were flowing unexpectedly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Heres your coffee.

When Shirone handed Amy the bread and coffee, people cheered. arena They were deeply moved by him, who spent much effort not to spill a drop of coffee for the woman he loved.

Urk! silence At this point, Ill end up associated with a really strange rumor. accent I should stop now.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy raised her hand. adopt The best way to reverse this ridiculous misunderstanding was through embarrassment.

Who told you to bring something like this?

She was going to hit his arm and spill the coffee. apple Then Shirone would be just like the other countless boys who had been dumped by her so far, and the strange rumor would subside.

Gosh! legend So annoying!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At least act like you dislike it. alert Are you stupid? meadow A fool? antique Do you have no guts or what?

Amys hand trembled as she glared daggers at the coffee.

Unexpected guilty conscience. timber But that was Shirones strength.

As Amy swung her hand, the students eyes grew bigger. atlas However, the expected tragedy did not occur.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And that attitude made Amy feel guilty.

Isnt it better to think positively about the things I have to do?

His mindset went something like this.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Um Excuse me, heres your coffee.

Thinking back on it, she felt quite sorry. atomic Nevertheless, she didnt avoid men because she was afraid of attention, it was simply annoying. atlas The arrogant kids with no talent who called themselves nobles did not really suit her tastes.

She knew because Amy herself was someone who studied harder than anyone else.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy accepted the bread and coffee. antique And as if they were watching a show, applause broke out from all sides.

Whatever. atomic Let them think whatever they want. accent As long as the rumor isnt about me.

I dont need this from now on, so dont buy it! timber Okay?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, as a result, Amys remark aroused more misunderstanding by the students.

She accepted it! artist Amy accepted Shirones feelings!

Yes? zenith Oh, okay.

So now, did her anger disappear with just this? advance Thinking he would never have to see her again, Shirone let out a deep sigh of relief.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy went into the library as if to show that she had no intention to answer. acid Sharelle followed behind quickly. avalanche She couldnt hide her excitement.

* * *

* * *

She said she doesnt need coffee. athlete Doesnt that mean he can just come without buying anything?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was so happy he felt lighter as he came down the library stairs. august The ten days of torture were over. arch Honestly, he didnt think things would end so soon. legend Starting tomorrow, he could go straight to the library without wasting time.

Yay! silence I can read one more book!

I dont know! academy Just let them think however they like. crystal Do they have nothing better to do? academy Whatever, I dont have to worry about it after I enter the Advanced Class. ability Let them enjoy their childish jokes among themselves. timber It wont matter to me soon enough.

Hey! agent What are you thinking of doing? beacon If its actually true, thats great and all, but is that really what you were trying to say?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone captured Amys heart. antenna Such deluded schoolboys were looking at Shirone enviously as he hopped away in happiness.

She never thought studying was fun, but she liked it as much as she liked the library. amateur Rather than hanging out with those who gossip about other peoples love affairs, or those who thought themselves more important than others, the library was a much better place.

11 P.M.

Amy closed the book and sighed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though it neared midnight, the library was still packed with students. academy They didnt care who dated who. alien They were racehorses running madly to achieve their dreams.

But despite the fact Amy was not as much of a bookworm as them, she still ranked 1st in Class 4 and never even considered the possibility of being overthrown.

Sharelle, who was sitting next to her, turned her head.

Through observing them, one would realize that indulging in miscellaneous thoughts was nothing but a waste of time.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yeah. amateur I have a lot on my mind today. canvas Ill just have a good night’s rest and get up about an hour early tomorrow.

No. artist You dont have to leave early because of me. artist Ill see you tomorrow.

Really? apple Then lets go together.

Huh? alpha Why did you close the book? acquire Are you leaving already?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy liked Sharelle, who was a respectful competitor who could enjoy and share a mature rivalry.

Okay, then. armor See you. absorb Make sure to get up early tomorrow.

Amy smiled and packed her bag. armor During her 6 years in the academy, Sharelle Portrisse was her one and only friend. acid She was a chatterbox no different than any other kid her age, but she did her job as a student better than most. amateur Her ranking in Class 4 was 6th from the top, so being placed in the Advanced class would not pose a problem.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone except those on night duty got off work, so the hallway was quiet. acid Students came to the academy to achieve their dreams, but employees were just here for the job and to make money.

After encouraging her friend for a bit, Amy left the reading room.

Amy descended down the stairs, stretching out her days fatigue. sphere But suddenly, she saw someone standing in the dark stairway.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Jake Ardius.

He was 2nd-class nobility, and the family head was the financial executor of the royal castle. galaxy It was known that the power his family held was no less than that of a 1st-class noble family. canvas Perhaps it was because of the family heads job.

Pale face with large dark circles. antenna Black hair covering the cheeks. timber Amys face wrinkled once when she identified who the person was.

Jake was arrogant and had a rough personality. adapt But the main reason why Amy didnt like him was because he was a student who had little to no talent. arrow He never even put in any effort to try and compensate for it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he was taking the same class as her, Jake had a long way to go before he could be placed in the Advanced class. atlas Furthermore, there had been rumors that he was the president of a research group called Black Magician.

In Amys opinion, Black Magician was a group that researched how to bully students who were better than them.

Of course, they did not openly pick a fight or extort money. timber Since most were children of high-class nobles, if they were to act like snotty, back alley kids, they would be immediately expelled.

Since they were not a research group approved by the school, they were not financially supported. agent Essentially, it was a dark circle in which kids who had an inferiority complex harassed students.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy, you finished early today. sphere I was going to wait until midnight.

Nevertheless, it was clear that some students in the group were active, seeing that rumors of students being attacked by Black Magician still existed.

Why were you waiting for me? voyage Dont you have anything better to do?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Is he sane? apple Out of all the places, he came to talk about such a pathetic thing in front of a library?

Dont be like that. absorb I heard a rumor about you. arena You accepted a lowerclassman way below your level Shirone was his name, right?

Amy sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

What are you doing?

Amy looked at the coffee and raised her head in absurdity.

I even warmed it up. antenna The Amy I know deserves this much. sphere I cant dirty your mouth with substandard coffee, right?

Jake put forward his coffee with an overly cheesy smile. aluminum Amy could tell just by the smell. legend It was the civet coffee that was popular among the nobles.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy stepped aside and walked down the stairs. ability However, Jake placed his hand against the wall and blocked her way.

Sorry, but I dont have private chats in the library. accent So youre wrong to court me in such a place and time. afford Oh, but you forgot the most important thing The fact that I hate you. arch Something like this better not happen again.

As you can see, Im courting you. agent You already know of my familys power, and Ill be the next in charge of the finances of the royal family after my father. antique Am I not the perfect man for you?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy snorted. amateur No matter how prosperous the Ardius family was, the Karmis family was not one to be pushed around by small fry either. amateur Most of all, she did not like Jakes way of talking.

I guess Ive been too soft. album I also have to consider my family’s reputation, so you coming out like this puts me in a very difficult position. agent Isnt it the same for you? adapt Arent you studying that much harder so as not to disgrace the Karmis family? acquire Look, were concerned about the same thing.

What the hell are you doing?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

To live while doing the things you want to do, thats what my family always says. advance We are qualitatively different from people like you, who simply take great pride in counting money while acting as if its a big deal.

What?

His veins popped. alien A normal 1st-class noble would never insult him like this.

Says the cheapskate that only counts money.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy felt Jakes unpleasant energy and shuddered. afford He was the kind of man who would torment others forever if it was for his own sake. afford She finally realized why she was so uneasy and disturbed throughout the day. avalanche She let out a breath.

You think the Karmis family is that prestigious? beacon Think about it. arch Youre only 1st-class in name only. artist How many people actually hold strong authority among those on active duty? arrow My family can run circles around yours in terms of money. airport What do you think? anchor Should we test it out if you dont believe me?

His father was a royal financial executor. alpha The whole world begins and ends with money. avalanche It was Amy who was being immature.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to you I understand. afford I understand why I accepted that coffee.

Youre different from Shirone. acoustic Simply put, youre a coward.

What?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 23: The Cold Boy and the Fiery Girl (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy smacked away Jakes mug. academy Expensive coffee splashed all over the wall, while the mug crashed down the stairs and shattered into pieces.

HAHA! arch Im more of a coward than that lousy bastard? meadow Should we confirm that right now and see if its true or not?

You must be dying to do something, but if youre going to do it, get on with it. arena Dont waste my precious time just flapping your lips. adopt You thought Id get scared if you tensed your eyes a little and acted all scary? altitude By you? arch A coward?
