Chapter 293: Webtoon Special Edition – Extra 5 Transfer Student With Experience (5)
X3K1Sinia remembered the conversation she had had a short while ago.uxuE
6qcY“What beautiful hands.”fxkkS
OlCZkx“Eh? They aren’t. They’re rough… and full of calluses…”gGJwcG0
vwsQT“That’s precisely why they’re beautiful. They are hands that turned the frozen soil of the North and made flowers bloom that heal people.”111DP
pIFMg51“What hands could be more beautiful than these?”DWYq2
bOhxjShe didn’t realize her face was burning until she returned to the dormitory.Y6o
3jGjOnly after washing her face with cold water could she look at herself in the mirror.AoP5
1vbC“Fuaaah…”C3G
7tMZWDVHer face was a complete mess.HHCFy
8ZMIn the North, her face had been burned many times by the extreme cold, but it had never burned like this in such a warm place.8rdFU5
nXis‘My heart… is beating really fast.’O4cOAc3
8CtFaGCFor quite a while now, her chest had been pounding.Xjiy
qGESinia sensed that this was not a normal change.CaW84y2
1A9sdLO“I’m crazy… I’m crazy…”HTr
3bHVsOHow could she say things like that so naturally to another woman?RdHh3C
sL8HAnd why did I fall for it so easily?SmmnsW
zbD“But… it can’t be helped.”rY53x
iHtIt was the first time anyone had ever said something like that to her.m2o6z
DtmJWhen she decided to study in the kingdom, Sinia had already anticipated that she would suffer harassment and prejudice from others.NTtdS66
XmsBV1She knew well that the nobles of the kingdom despised northerners, calling them barbarians.p2a5tz1
XZSm— Oh, in the North you can’t even get a decent dress? I can smell the poverty all the way here.hh9iK7V
q1wRmXj— Dirt? Are you really an archduchess? Doing such vulgar work is why they call you barbarians.9OX
WiDOTeEven in the social gatherings they attended before departing, with the aim of forming ties with influential figures of the kingdom, both of them had suffered humiliation, contempt, and harassment.uuqU
auBidBut they could do nothing but endure it in silence.JSD
KrFTodShe and her brother Calcion had come representing the North, supposedly to learn from the kingdom.SWoMCZ
Pj1The unification of the North with the kingdom had been a realistic decision, made by the Shieldmaidens.9YHpE0n
mKSQJ8gThey must not cause trouble in the place that had been prepared for them.q2xP
DHCQgAnd just as she was enduring everything in silence, Shia appeared.sDOj
IVFCRnZ‘She said they were beautiful.’Cq1EW5
Z13fx0rShe said that those rough, calloused hands—hands that had nothing to do with the delicate hands of the kingdom’s nobles—were the most beautiful of all.JUKO
NAs“Hehe…”JMut
4l7gacIAs she recalled her face, a smile escaped her without her realizing it.LHl4C0
clixtg“What’s making you laugh like that?”umM
sKAl“Ah… brother.”ynvLBq
WvQ40At that moment, Calcion entered her room.IN2kH
O80GWhen Sinia frowned, he immediately raised his hand.gikel
vk19iXY“I should have knocked… sorry. I’m not used to it.”r39
jK8i“At home we didn’t worry about that.”2ZWTCc
E7wBUOf course, even in the North no one would lift the flap of an adult woman’s tent without permission, but they were very close siblings, and that boundary had always been thin.ZGJZ
5WFoBAM“Sit down. I brought medicinal herbs.”eY6C
yAo7GhCalcion obeyed without protest and sat down in front of her.bEhw
URvxQSinia looked at his wounds with concern.uV7R
mDa“You should go to the infirmary. They say there are many doctors here.”PiI2
hOa8hGh“Even if I go, they won’t treat me properly.”SUaP
n0MBecause the kingdom discriminates against northerners.1rByyq
Q6QD3Until that very morning, Sinia had thought the same way.z3C1l
4hS“But it wasn’t like that.”ECcqHuK
uxg“What do you mean?”F7X
WslE“I met Shia Loch. The sister of the man Brunhilde spoke about.”vi4
Lw0“Shia Loch…?”DawX
HD41glThe woman who had stopped him when he was about to crush the blasphemer of the kingdom.Ipc
tQn03oIShe was, without a doubt, the sister of that great hero.37qhqz
CmBaIWith a body that didn’t seem trained, she perfectly deflected his attack.1QXu
zIF“Was she different?”ZxI4Jq
rMaeM2“Yes. Maybe she’s special, but she was different.”chC0F
TGFs“Hmph… in what way? In the end, she’s still from the kingdom.”mzx
v129lSinia understood her brother’s hostility toward the people of the kingdom.A2l
y230cShe too had suffered the same discrimination.PO7O61j
V00FrBut—jGJtF
2WI‘Things will gradually get better. You two are just the first ones, so you’re not used to it yet.’NzMuQ
PifN2z‘Really?’u2aUl
7Ms‘Yes. It will be so.’ceS
sU0HyThere was a strange conviction in those words.584aVcE
3uDXUl“Brother, what are you going to do about marriage?”qJW9
effA“W-what? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”7GXK
W81wvtzCalcion flinched at the sudden change of topic.Sczc
wdnZQSinia continued calmly.SC27
VoZmr“In the end, you’ll have to marry someone from the kingdom for convenience. It’s the best way for us to integrate.”9w0
vlE7usBThe two princesses of the kingdom had already married Corin Loch.9oX
V7AfAmong the great nobles there was the Dunaleff family, but they too were tied to Corin Loch.z40Xf
GGB3v5The swordsman sisters of the Arden family, the Celestial Sect of the East, the princesses of the kingdom, goddesses, and even an archmage from another dimension.jNZ1W1
zok‘My sister is amazing, but my brother…’e5e
3J30BcFinding a suitable candidate among the influential nobles was not easy.56H7QJ
HRSvtHowever, thinking about it carefully, there was a perfect candidate.AunGT7
YLJIM“What would you think if Shia Loch… were my wife… no, my sister-in-law?”Resu0
mpCE“Are you serious?”E0h26uG
d9DqkZ“Yes. Think about it carefully.”OHht
Hwi3Calcion reflected seriously.lrn31q
evkShia Loch was not only the best candidate in the kingdom; she was someone completely out of reach.irXwUA
VUNShe was the sister of the great hero.tSJd
vSYQRRAnd even more terrifying than that were her family connections.eBM7uL
rWSfKRThe next Duke of Dunaleff, the future leader of the Arden house and elite swordsmen, the leader of the Heavenly Sect of the East, princesses of the kingdom, goddesses, and a great mage from another dimension.6NSl
GtPff0dEach of them was practically untouchable.8Vi
a3vTo unite by marriage with the Loch house meant having the protection of all those forces.dfcnlgQ
PIRFor the North, it was the best possible option.SgvCo
ZxmC“Do you think she would accept me? She could choose the best candidates in the kingdom.”3nH2
I1r626eIf she wanted to, she could have them all and no one could say anything.xTUiH6
8J9WAfter all, she was the sister of the God of the Sun.HYe3hK1
94EvV“What if you at least try?”3WEvpg
kv3W3“But…”DBOD
RimRJ“And if she doesn’t want to… I’ll do it myself.”WGwVjLL
8M7X6ZI“Do what?”nd2mO
3ZBztTvCalcion didn’t immediately understand his sister’s words, but for some reason, a chill ran down his spine.x3pJV
3nzE6***ndaszO4
J0p74V6Classes at the Royal Academy include martial training within the curriculum.inVeucb
yfY1v8kIn the past, there was a time when military service was mandatory for nobles, so fencing duels became an essential subject.UVWma6v
9HyWhenever this class was held, a strange atmosphere formed among the male students.9NKxfLe
dMUWell, from my point of view, it’s nothing more than children’s play.4lGRt
lCsgZmZ“Oh~, does the young brother-in-law also know how to use a sword?”Urnc9b
zGrD38“My mother was a knight, and what about you, young sister-in-law?”QjZ
9RQgb“I only watched over my brother’s shoulder when he trained with the spear.”S10MQp
OyTrrFEven though I’m currently in a girl’s body, with this body I could still achieve more than acceptable results in class.yAt1JeJ
qeCs3bQBut in order not to draw attention for when my body returns to normal, it’s better not to show that kind of talent.OI0ouV
7BcIn the end, as a female student, I decided to stay seated and just watch.9wtA5
WWhcMaybe because they knew the girls wouldn’t be very interested, they let us rest.Ej2Ai
GrkfIB“Shia.”TyW4v
tQDq“Ah~ Shia.”rsDU
UTcyKRqThat’s how Sinia Helgmund and I started calling each other by that name.J1C4bR
fkF75oShe sat down beside me and handed me a thermos.X8nz
BUWfoN“It’s boiled water with medicinal herbs. Want some?”nGF
upfNP“Oh~, that’s something nice.”zgEkS
tA7GP3vIf it’s good for the body, there’s no reason to refuse it. The hot water, kept warm thanks to the thermos, went down my throat pleasantly.4SiWM
t9W“By the way, Shia, aren’t you going to participate? There’s also magic practice.”8eErrN
wJJfR3“The kingdom’s magic has a different system. There’s no need to relearn it.”Wmz
2P6SGH“Right, if the system is different, it can’t be helped. And as a druid? I know one.”Cj1b9
lwPP3Jm“The Forest Sage?”2QHD
BaI“The druid Yuel. She recently returned to her homeland to drive out monsters and restore the forest. She must be quite busy, but if you get the chance, go visit her. It seems she wants to take in disciples to expand the druids.”eyu3S
2lbW8KX“That really is good news.”GNkjR
SOsjIt had been a long time since I’d heard anything from that side.YJqyah
L0SGI should go visit them someday.4B89
ojhBr“Ah, it’s my brother’s turn.”tpx6
GerAAt that moment, Calcion Helgmund, Sinia’s brother, stepped out.mqQ
1RiBlack hair, red eyes. An expressionless appearance that, for some reason, reminded me of Hwaran.VbVO0UT
WTt6jAh~ how I miss Hwaran. I want to touch her soft little belly~RazY
6P1cl2“Shia?”48lv
VW5vNY“Huh? E-eh?”w4b
qAN2YG“You had a pretty… lewd expression.”Qm9M
KSa“Ahem… it’s a misunderstanding!”NKps
776s1oI hope my wives show up soon to help me with this.P65
oKtp“Oh~, his opponent is from a collateral branch of Arden.”vZo
pTaYZs“Do you know him?”L8BbL
R2qChID“A relative by marriage. He came to greet me on the first day.”A1NS60
71y7The student who came out as Calcion’s opponent was a swordsman from a collateral branch of the Arden family.61d
KQnUky6He was a cousin of Jenny, the swordswoman of Lunia’s First Sword Hall? Ugh… it’s been so long since I buried my face in sister Lunia’s chest.o9j
X1cIt’s also been a while since I’ve been able to lick Alisha’s thighs and armpits.K3yjW
m0Nhuh“Shia?”kota
mePb“Ahk… again?”hM4ZD
t7O“Yes… don’t you feel unwell?”yhMS9VU
IHcot7RSinia, worried, placed her hand on my forehead.wWU2
Mk3YtqWe’re both girls now, so it’s fine.lPi
9CReC“It’s nothing. Lately I’m just… holding myself back a lot.”i70
5CpMIn many ways.geDOI
pMHI want to see my wives soon.ibpX
cIXWell, before that, I need to get my body back.xipHAbV
jALE“Winner! Calcion Helgmund!”6zx2
TGvEThe instructor’s signal rang out just then. I was so distracted that I didn’t even watch the match.Ofgigc
sn3J“Tch… you could have watched my brother’s cool side.”OC8Q
lC1For some reason, Sinia looked genuinely disappointed.cxp6cW
tmSKThe students continued to come out one after another for the duels, and when the boys were already drenched in sweat, the instructor spoke.OAuK
NWAOl“Alright! Everyone go wash off the sweat! Line up in pairs!”bnnNe
ITUuNfOWhile the boys went to wash up, I brought Sinia over to the girls I had already naturally become friends with.oq6A7
zm4o0If you put them together like this, sooner or later they become close.N8B
z6PrQ***IENuJ82
nXiGC4“He couldn’t even handle a collateral branch swordsman of Arden…”lDS
aAS1RMx“He’s a monster. Is he really our age?”UvTbR1E
vxPAs they turned on the faucets installed in the training field for the instructor’s consideration and cleaned their bodies, Calcion noticed the gazes and murmurs of the other students.f1rtkFk
jlDNWJFWhen he took off his top to wash, those gazes intensified.cfB
PJq9P2“Look at those scars.”Er2yciT
03D“In the end, he really is a barbarian.”KOjSS0Q
rfO“How disgusting.”b7H2
O5eftCalcion’s body was covered in small scars, in addition to a large wound caused by a northern bear monster.VhXD9
nKWSWEHe had never felt ashamed of them. They were proof that he had fought to protect the northerners, his clan, and his family.UJq56ao
YFKNTBut in this peaceful kingdom, they seemed to become a flaw.FTkWNVC
PUu5Qc‘At least they’re not talking as loudly as I thought.’a78WLnV
Yk7WJCalcion cast a glance at the blasphemers he had mercilessly beaten.aA18tj
pUfDespite the hatred they felt toward him, for some reason they avoided his gaze and didn’t join those who were murmuring.B4yh
S62Why? Did they honestly accept defeat? They didn’t seem like the type to give up so easily.va0
AomnlbWhile wondering about that, as he went to change clothes, Calcion realized that his bag was gone.Cp8t7
op3FM“……”iPJ
NQ7gOch“Kikikik.”0OVPB6
P6gOG“Did you see? He’s completely confused.”fj57
bSlCooDamn it. Those kinds of childish pranks? Anger welled up in his chest, but he didn’t want to cause trouble here.MHY3t0
cByu0OStill, he had to get the bag back.PpBD6
ubPfqcYIt was a leather bag the clan elders had made for him, sewing day and night before he left for the kingdom.dLGh
q7ngEvery small item had been made or bought with the sweat and blood of his people. They were precious things.mZdk
2c8RsJp“Where is it?”00ihvOj
uqLa“W-what are you talking about all of a sudden?”Nt6I
KqMQf“I won’t ask twice. Where is it?”DBsBSr
OHkLvWhen Calcion approached in an intimidating manner, the students shrank back.hurUym0
jv2EHis scar-covered torso emitted a pressure impossible to compare with others his age.jQnVIl
vYDjh“L-look in the fountain! Don’t accuse just anyone!”1LS
AcGaV0GThe boy backed away as if fleeing. Calcion sighed and headed toward the fountain.UDGgeN9
Zaj8“……”9nIq
pJpPIJust as he had said, the bag made by his people was thrown there, in a complete mess.zf3Zo7
jcSszThe spare clothes, the wallet, the writing tools—everything that wasn’t handmade had been bought with money earned from the sweat and blood of the clan.EXiHJ
ZjbxhThere was nothing that wasn’t valuable, nothing he shouldn’t take care of.UhLcP
Nn6V2oENot caring about getting his pants wet, Calcion began rummaging through the fountain.yGZ
vbt0Ggl“Damn it…”widj
AvSWHe found the larger items, but some of the smaller ones didn’t appear.zOT
ckiA wave of sadness washed over him.2CM
gmeHe wanted to ask his sister for help, but he didn’t want to show her this side of himself.8TLc9Zb
GlZseNHe was now the Grand Duke of the North. He always had to appear strong. For the sake of the northerners, even with this kind of childish prank.z6B
TIRN“Haa…”cLZKsx
6QNCz“A brat sighing like that. What happened?”0duBnK
0NFkShe appeared completely unexpectedly.tTx4qn
VX5“Shia Loch?”zSW
LYVAN“Yes, Shia Loch. Isn’t it annoying to say the full name every time? Just call me Shia.”Ch7
Y4qLbNjNormally, nobles aren’t allowed to use names so casually. That’s why many called her Miss Loch.Kpsk
EGfbyfiBut this popular figure, who drew all eyes, seemed not to care much about that distinction.oS96
lLU“Did you lose something?”w6I6ZE3
ylTr5“……Don’t worry about it.”rz7d6
Q1YKBq“I’ll help you look.”Tvuj
hiKX2vr“Don’t worry—”Bmc
XJcPtShia took off her shoes and socks.sCtzp
6JvAs if freed, she discarded them without hesitation and jumped into the fountain.8hNk2yT
1bKVPlash.pzCS5c0
ZqfXA“Oh~, how refreshing.”FC4B
sFH“I told you not to worry…”Dj37ta
Cqq“Don’t you worry. In moments like this, helping is normal. There’s no reason not to.”lawMFLt
C39“……You’re getting wet.”2Jt
GwlVI“So what? Oh~, here it is.”6A4W1gl
DdSWhat she found was the handkerchief Sinia had made.hGzX5Ww
GUaJSAs she pulled it out of the water, droplets splashed around the dark-blue-haired girl, reflecting the sunlight.SjIBbJ
rc1“Is this the handkerchief you’re looking for, boy?”Dhudp
DniMuCIt was like… a water-soaked fairy, mysterious and unreal.YOr
