The next day, Eldoria Academy (entrance)
(Javier) What!? How could you change the bet, didn't you love Clarise!?
...Shh!, don't shout, you'll draw attention.
(Javier) Oh, sorry, but you should know that it surprises me a lot.
...Yes, I know.
The situation of yesterday's duel was a complete shock, which reached not only the ears of students from other subjects but also several professors.
After all, a duel between a noble and a commoner is not a common thing.
"This worries me" _gritting his teeth.
Trying not to stand out too much will be the right thing from now on. That way, maybe there won't be any sudden changes.
(Javier) I hope this isn't affecting you.
"Are you referring to the Clarise thing?"
… No, things have already happened, sometimes we need to change, right? No, things have already happened, sometimes we need to change, right?
(Javier) Haha, you're right, but your change is a bit abrupt, don't you think?
"what does it mean"
... Maybe you're right. Maybe you're right.
(Javier) good, I hope you're well. I have to go train.
...Hey, wait.
(Javier) Tell me.
The situation from yesterday has already passed, but there are more things to resolve. But without having to be so relevant.
... Lately, don't you feel something strange? Lately, don't you feel something strange?
(Javier) Huh?, well, yes, I've noticed something, like if they were constantly watching us.
"At least things didn't change."
...keep a close eye, okay?
(Javier) Yes.
While Javier was leaving, I managed to verify that not much had changed from what was in the story.
"Now I just have to make sure Javier doesn't catch the student."
In the story, Javier never caught the student because he got distracted by Noah's problem, but now that problem doesn't exist.
So now Javier will catch the student, and things in the story will happen faster.
I've seen too many manhwas to know that the last thing is a very bad idea.
"I'll have to delay it myself."
That will be the mission: to delay Javier and prevent him from catching the student.
I was heading to the control class and today I came a little earlier, so I have a bit more time.
… It would be better to keep reading the magic engineering book. It would be better to keep reading the book on magical engineering.
As always, I headed to class down the same hallway, and in that same hallway, I found the same person.
"What's happening with my luck?"
(Clarise) Ugh, are you following me?!
…No.
"Damn, things are getting more complicated, especially because of yesterday."
The more I remembered the stupidity of confessing, the less I wanted to come to the academy.
"But it seems she is unaware of that fact."
...a question.
(Clarise) What? Don't bother me, just go.
"Tsk, I don't know how Noah fell in love with this girl!"
...Good.
Better if things end sooner, it can get complicated in the future.

The tears that were falling, what could they have been from?
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
There were only a few meters left to reach the classroom, but why do these kinds of situations always come up?

Luna was a good person; unlike other nobles, she had nothing against people from low-income backgrounds.
Things with the two students calmed down because they ran away from Luna.
"I suppose he's strong in his class, that even they are afraid of him."
(Luna) Did you see that?
The situation had calmed down, so I stayed talking with Luna for a while.
...Yes, when you get angry, you are scary.
(Luna) H-Hey! Don't make fun of 'with a bit of embarrassment'
… But isn't that a good thing, don't you think? But that's a good thing, don't you think?
(Luna) Haha, you really do understand me.
I don't know much about Luna's situation, maybe she's just a character who supports the protagonist, right?
Things had quieted down a bit.
"What topic of conversation should I start now?"
I was thinking of getting out of this embarrassing situation of awkward silence.
(Luna) Don't you feel like you want to do things by yourself?
It was a strange question, he must have his own problems then. I didn't want to express it, but if a sad face was something to worry about.
... I don't know, I live alone, so I do everything because I want to. I don't know, I live alone, so I do everything because I want to.
(Luna) hehe, you're right...
...Can't you?
(Luna) You should know what life is like for a noble, everything they do is controlled by their parents.
"So, family problems"
... Don't you think your parents do it because they care about you? Don't you think your parents do it because they worry about you?
(Luna) Would you marry someone just because your parents told you to?
"ugh, marital problems"
...Sometimes there are limitations that parents shouldn't decide, don't you think?
(Luna)…
Luna's sad face kept going, I have no idea what to say to calm her down.
…Luna.
(Luna) W-what.
Luna looked thoughtful and distracted.
…I know it's difficult, but be clear about this, you are not alone, there are always people who will seek to support you.
I hope these words at least help a little.
...I will always be willing to help you.
Although he wasn't sure, he hoped to leave some impression.
Luna stood there, without saying a word.
(Luna) W-well, I'm going to class!
"Hey!" Have I done something wrong?
While I kept watching Luna run away, I let out a small smile.
...Even the moon has that kind of side.
"I hope I answered well, usually this kind of thing is done by the protagonist, but I am also his friend."
Classes had started, it was quiet, I suppose because there weren't many students.
But I was surprised that Professor Selene was already here.
(Selene) I heard about your confrontation with the student Lucian Drakar.
... How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
(Selene) Don't worry, you're actually doing me a favor.
...Why?
(Selene) Why did you make me look good by being their representative?
The teacher looked proud and happy... shame.
… Professor Selene, I am planning to change my subject. Professor Selene, I am planning to change my subject.
(Selene) What!
Professor Selene looked surprised, well, it was to be expected. Since the professors fight for the prestige that the academy gives them, although I don't understand how she ended up with this rank, if she is a good teacher.
...yes, I was thinking of switching, because fencing isn't my thing.
(Selene) I can't interfere in your decision.
You could see the annoyance on her face, it was funny.
…Hehe
(Selene) What are you laughing at, young man?!
…n-no Pfft haha.
While we were having our little conversation, the other students were arriving little by little.
And so the classes ended quickly. Nothing surprising.
Once all the other students left, the teacher was the one who always stayed last.
"I've been thinking about it, and if I also practice fencing, but for that, I would need someone to help me."
"And what better than the control professor!"
...Teacher!
(Selene) Student, Noah, are you still here?
… Yes, well… Yes, well...
(Selene) What's happening?
For some reason, the shame was stronger than usual.
...Would you help me practice fencing?
(Selene)¿?
...It's just that I also wanted to improve my fencing skills.
(Selene) Individual training for teachers is not allowed.
… Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry.
"I had to anticipate something like this."
Selene had an authoritative appearance; it was difficult to talk to her and deal with her. But this time something was different about her.
(Selene) But you can be my assistant.
…That
(Selene) If you can be my assistant, you help me and then I can help you later.
There was no problem, how did I not remember something like that?
...W-well.
Things are going in a good direction.
Standing in front of the teacher, the slight breeze pushing the curtains, the sunlight. For a moment, I was captivated.
Everything ended with a handshake.
Could you please provide the text you would like to have translated?
He had arrived home normally.
… Well, let's give it a try. Alright, let's give it a try.
I had read too many books on magical engineering, so this time I planned to create an artifact.
"I just want to make a prototype"
On the table, I placed a blue magical stone and some pieces of wood.
The wood was a good conductor of magic, so it would work. But its duration would be the problem.
I carved the wood into a cube with a hollow in the middle, the hole was big enough to fit the magic stone.
Once this was finished, the most difficult process came, giving it its functionality.
"I hope that what I learned in the book is enough."
I grabbed the cube with my fingers on opposite sides, closed my eyes, I had to assemble it with magic, so I had to concentrate.
The space in my mind was empty, a tremendous darkness, but if I added some magic, a line would form. When the first line was created, in the midst of everything, a bright core appeared.
He created many lines, making the core surrounded by a figure, the pentagram.
Although since my magic is not enough, it will be a bit defective.
I opened my eyes slowly, I was sweating, and I felt tired.
In front of me stood the cube. The center shone intensely, and the body of the cube had bright lines with a uniform but sparse position.
...Haha, it worked.
The functionality I gave it was level 1 barrier, a basic magic that only allowed protection from attacks like a knife without mana.
"it is a process that, even if it is flawed, must serve"
But doubt crept in, I grabbed it and with a bit of magic the cube created a small barrier, it looked like cut glass.
… ¡Woa! Wow! It works, I need to try it.
He had the face of a child discovering a toy.
At that moment, I saw the front wall, I held the bucket in front of me, with my arm outstretched.
After that, I intended to charge at the wall.
"Well, the wall has no magic, it should be able to hold up."
…Aaaaaaaa!
I ran with all my might, the barrier's plane hit the wall, it had worked... but only for a moment.
The magic stone in the middle wobbled with the impact. At the slightest movement, the created lines intertwined with each other.
I hadn't realized it at that moment... regrettable mistake.
The cube shone brightly.
…Ga!
Boom!
