�Shirone, are you sleeping?�

�Ms. Siena?�

Shirone hurriedly opened the door. It was really Ms. Siena.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

�Can I come in?�

�Oh, yes. Come in.�

Was Ms. Siena on watch today? Her hair was still a bit wet as if she had recently come out from the shower.

The Intermediate class dormitory was not a place for female instructors to come and go at night, as students in their early 20s also resided here. However, Siena chose this time to interview him secretly away from his classmates.

Unlike the rooms of other male students, Shirone�s was very tidy and organized. Guessing from Shirone�s personality, she checked each book on the desk. There were textbooks as well as books on subjects that he had yet to learn.

�So it�s true. His thought process is extraordinary.�

Without observing closely, one would think the books were spread open with no relation whatsoever, but if someone knowledgeable saw this, they would notice that all of them were very closely related fields.

Siena could roughly assume the reason why Shirone could not use magic yet. It was not because he couldn�t, but because he didn�t want to start yet.

�He was weak in omniscience from the moment he entered the academy. He is desperately looking for ways to make up for his shortcomings. This kid doesn�t want to just learn magic� He wants to become a mage.�

Siena supported Shirone�s decision. The process of linking and finding the relationship between different fields was difficult, but it was a worthwhile one. This was because linked knowledge was never forgotten.

�Excuse me, teacher. Would you like a cup of tea?�

�No, it�s all right. I came here because I wanted to ask you something.�

As Siena sat on the bed, Shirone dragged over a desk chair. It was his first time seeing her face up so close. She looked much younger than during academy hours, perhaps because she had her hair down and was in plain clothes now. He lowered his head gently, feeling embarrassed for some reason.

Siena looked at him calmly.

�He�s quite the shy boy. Is this his usual personality?�

His reaction was very unfamiliar to her because in class, Shirone would stare and focus so intensely at either the board or her that it seemed like he was trying to burn a hole with just his eyes.

�Isn�t academy life difficult?�

�Yes, but it�s fun. And I find it enjoyable to study.�

��Why didn�t you tell me that the kids were bothering you?�

Shirone had already anticipated she�d ask that. In fact, it would have been stranger not to know. Due to recent events, the kids started to bully Shirone quite openly.

�It�s okay, you don�t have to worry about it.�

Siena, who heard of the student�s abusive actions from Maria, didn�t believe what Shirone said.

�You can be honest about this. It�s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed by.�

�It�s really okay. It�s a pity that I can�t make friends, but if they find me unlikeable, I can�t really do anything about it.�

�The bullying is what�s wrong.� JrNovels.com
