Want to Become a Top Ranker
Chapter 40 A Feeling Thanks To A Smile

Vincent looked at the surrounding space boards. 

  "10C..10B.." While mentioning the writing on the Board in front of the door of the room.

  In the corridor, there were a lot of people leaning against the walls of the room. Some are also talking to their colleagues. In my mind, "The first day is as familiar as they are." While looking at the disciples gathered beside the corridor Window.

  It's hard for me to follow them. Let alone Akrab, I heard the voice of a stranger approaching me I was immediately scared to death. 

  "Bright.." Sighing.

  Vincent turned to look at me behind him for a moment.

  "Why you? I think that's Hela breath."

  I also acted as if there was nothing.

  "It's okay. I just want to breathe air." By glancing up.

  Vincent stopped in front of one of the rooms.

  "This is Class 10-A." While looking at the Class Nameplate.

  Class door's closed. Vincent, who seems to want to open the door, I'll stop immediately. I pulled out his right hand which was about to open the door of the room.

  "Wait Vin! Let me get ready first." Shouted towards Vincent.

  I took a slow breath and was accompanied by both hands moving upwards. I then took a breath and was accompanied by both hands moving downwards.

  It's my habit to calm down a pretty freaked out feeling. I don't trust myself to meet other people I don't know.

  "Hasn't." Vincent asked while putting a serious look at me.

  I'm not ready for this. It's just, I should try to be confident to meet new people.

  "Da-dah.." while putting on a slightly frightened expression.

  Vincent opened it right after I spoke. Inside the Classroom, countless students were talking to each other. There are also those who are playing their smartphones there.

  And also, someone who is reading a book by itself. Vincent greeted them all with enthusiasm. 

  "Good Morning." Raising his hand.

  People started to look towards the two of us. Vincent is very good at talking to people he just met. He did not hesitate to greet someone he had just met.

   "By Also." Speak to the disciples gathered on one of the benches.

  {Uwah!} In my heart. It was so crowded that it made me feel a little scared. Even so, the look on their faces seemed to be very friendly. Vincent is looking for a seat.

  He passed through the group while getting acquainted with the others. I, who had only stayed where I was standing, could only see him walking towards the group.

  "Greetings, I'm Vincent Astroze." While pointing your hands forward.

  They all replied to Vincent with a smile.

  "Greetings Also Known. My name is Luci Rotstein." Shaking Vincent's hand.

  "Greetings to Vin.. If I were Raymond Domenech. You can call me Raymond." Smilingly.

  Seeing Vincent there, I took a detour. I passed the seat on my left. Avoiding the crowd of people there. I decided to sit on the bench next to the right corner.

  Not too behind, it's in front of the backmost. I put my bag down and sat down in his chair. I immediately opened my smartphone to prevent if there was someone who wanted to invite me to talk.

  Unfortunately, Vincent pulled me towards the crowd. I immediately pulled my hand back. "What the hell is Vin!!" While putting on an annoyed face.

  Vincent also seemed forced to pull my hand.

  "Have come here. It's part of your mental healing." While shouting.

  I stood up because I pulled it. The force of his pull was so tight that my body could not bear it. By force, I was carried away towards the crowd.

  He pulled my hand to point it in front of me. 

  "Know, he's Raphael Ignite." While holding my hand.

  {Sial!} With a body that tries to rebel.

  "Hello Raphael." Luci and Michael.

  I also tried to reply to their words in a slow tone.

  "Ha-hallo too." With his head down.

  I try to avoid eye contact with other people at this time.

  "What?" And making sure again.

  It seemed that my voice was so slow that it was not heard by him. Vincent lifted my head up.

  "If there are people who are looked at. Don't dodge." While scolding me.

  I closed my eyes immediately after Vincent raised my head. I'm not confident enough to meet other people.

   "Ha-hallo Too." With closed eyes and a loud voice.

   "That's so dong. If people say hello to dibales while looking at him." 

  Looks like Vincent didn't see my eyes closed.

  "Hahaha, you're scared of Michael."

  "What the hell is Ci. Don't you say that." 

  After hearing the two of them say that, I slowly started to open my eyes. I looked towards the two of them.

  "Yahoo. I'm Luci." While installing Peace Pose.

  "I'm Michael. Hello to Raphael." Waving his hands parallel to his chest.

  It's been a long time since I've seen this with anyone else. It kind of stirs my confidence a little. I waved my hand at the two of them.

  "I'm Raphael Ignite. Greetings to the Known." 

  This too, after a long time I was able to speak with no fear at all in my heart. Thanks to Vincent, my self-belief that disappeared, is starting to come back. Someone patted my back slowly.

  I immediately responded by looking towards him.

  "Salken Raphael, I'm Aaron." With both hands clenched were on my back.

  I also immediately returned.

  "Greetings also Aaron." While putting on a smiling expression.

  "Your smile makes me want to laugh a little bit at Raphael." Said Aaron with his mouth that was like holding back a laugh.

  I was also amazed by his words. What was my smile like that he wanted to laugh seeing it. I asked him how I felt from my smile from his sight.

  "What is my smile like?" While putting a smile on her.

  "Huh-huh.. Hahaha. sorry Raphael. I can't hold my laugh." With a loud laugh.

  I also tried to ask the others with the Smile I was still putting up.

  "Hahaha.right Ci. His smile can't make me laugh." Michael.

  They all laughed. I tried to ask Vincent.

  "What's wrong with my smile, Vin?" While putting on a smile.

  "Yes-yah.. Your smile is not like your usual smile. You show your teeth with a serious expression. That's what makes a smile funny to them." He slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

  Ahh, so it's like that. The reason why they thought my smile was funny was only because of my serious expression. I haven't smiled normally in a long time. Sometimes I smile and laugh because I get carried away.

  I immediately closed my face because of the shame.

  "Many~~.." with a soft tone and a face I covered.

  They are also still laughing. I immediately left them and returned to my seat. When I wanted to return to my seat, the person I met earlier while in the schoolyard glanced at me.

  "You were the one?" He spoke by pointing at me.

  I, who realized he was talking to me, turned to him.

  "Aah!" With a little surprise. I stopped beside him who was sitting.

  "You know him Nov?" Said someone beside him.

  "That's the Lic that was under that tree." While putting on a grim expression.

   Someone who was next to him began to remember when viewed from the look of his face.

  "Ohh that one. I remember now." With his mouth wide open and his eyebrows raised.

  "It turns out you're my class too. Why but just shut up?" He asked me.

  I started to get confused about what to say to her. Do I have to be honest that I couldn't say a word to her at the time. 

  "Yeah. I was confused as to what to answer. I'm also gatau." Trying to talk to him well.

  "So it turns out. if that's a greeting I know ya. I'm Novaria Arizen." With a sweet smile.

  Suddenly my Heartbeat increased after seeing her smile. For some reason, it felt like I was hooked on him. My confidence increased greatly after seeing her smile.

  And also, I don't know why it feels like I want to smile at her at this moment. 

  "I'm Raphael Ignite." With a smiling expression while closing your eyes.

  In the Novarian View, He saw Raphael as if he were an Angel. The light shone on Raphael as he smiled sweetly. In His Heart, "Well! Like an angel who came down to earth." He was fascinated by Raphael's Smile.

  Alice who saw him also wore the same expression as Novaria. It was the Sincere Smile of an Ignite Raphael that he had given after all this time he harbored his Trauma.

  I also opened my eyes. I saw the look on their faces as if impressed to see me. Is there anything strange? In my mind, I began to realize that my smile was embarrassing.

  After recalling Michael and Luci's words, I began to feel embarrassed after smiling at him.

  "I'm Alice Berg. Hello to Raphael." While putting on a smiley face expression with the head slightly tilted to the right.

 "Greetings Also Know Alice." 

  I continued walking towards my seat. And sit there immediately.

  [Returning to the Present Time ]

  That was the first time I met Novaria. At that time, I was still traumatized by deep trauma. I've loved her since I saw her smile for the first time. If you think back, I think I now want to go back to repeat that time.

  "Oi Raphael." Waving his hands right in front of my face.

  I, who was daydreaming, also realized. I immediately shook my head to remove the dreamy effect.

  "Look at you Raphael. Just wanted to talk to each other." Luci with a flat expression.

  "sorry. I'm thinking something." 

  "That's your habit, Raph. People are not talking even you daydream like that." Said Vincent behind me.

  I leaned against the glass beside me. Conversations with both can be good. I looked to the right and to the left towards the two of them.

  "Well, how about it, just a memory keinget first. Pas Luci said he wanted to talk about romance." With the head of the back of the caulus.

  "So how's this? Want to continue the discussion?" Luci by putting on his serious face.

  "I'm following the conversation. Only if later I often stay quiet, it's because I don't understand the material chatter." Say myself.

  "Faith that mah Raph. You Vincent? How's it?" 

  "Just like Raphael." 

  Luci immediately put a sharp and serious gaze towards the two of us. He said a sentence with a sharp glare. "So, who do you like in this class?" With his hands resting on his chair.

  Just starting to ask directly about the core of the screw. Luci, I shook my head because I heard what he said.

  "People I like are. Maybe Leiva. I like his nature." Vincent with a slightly confused expression.

  Huh!! Just this time I found out Vincent was interested in someone. I was surprised not to play when he mentioned the person he liked bluntly.

  "That's honest you Vin. I thought you'd try to answer no." 

  Luci immediately put on a smiling expression after hearing that. Look at the look of his sharp eyes now again became as usual. 

  "I also tried to hide it. It will be discovered too long." 

  "I'm the first time you know you like Vin's girl. I thought you'd lost your lust with women." 

  "Ngasal by the way. I was not interested in women. Just for now, I don't think it's wrong to have a deep relationship with women." Refuting my words.

  "Hahaha, it's so funny you two. It's appropriate to bring this chat material with the two of you." Luci while laughing. "Huh. That you're Raphael?" Luci asked me now.

  Hmm. I have to answer what yes. Should I be honest with both of them? But if suddenly they leak it to Novaria, it could be a relationship that I have long been in.

  I'd better lie to them a little.

  "No. Nothing I like right now." By turning my gaze out the window.

  They both looked at me with smiles. In heart.

  {Why are they smiling like that}

  "Raphael, there's definitely nothing he likes, huh Vin?" Luci glanced at Vincent.

  "That's fine. Raphael Where Might Like Ama Others." With High Tone.

  What's wrong with those two? Suddenly it's weird. Ah let it be as they please. At least they don't know my secret I've been keeping all this time. Since Vincent and I answered Luci's question, I'm the one who asked him back.

  I put on a serious face with hands holding each other in my mouth.

  "Now, who do you like Luci?" By looking at him.

  "No-no, you're wrong to ask me that. There's nothing I like. Stop looking at me like that Raphael." Luci refuted it while putting on a smiling face.

  I also put on my usual face again. After that, the Mathematics teacher went to class. I immediately confirmed my sitting position looking forward. Luci also directly turned towards the Whiteboard…
