Once she lowered her defenses, she became a simple young girl that didn't care about the behavior that a noble lady should have.
She was not even nineteen and she was already living together with two men after all, it was pointless to say the number of gossips that spread through the whole academy.
"Look, look! That geezer actually made a secret drawer in the wall."
She brought Noah to one of the rooms and strongly pushed on one spot on the wall.
The wood moved and a small hole was revealed behind it.
"I don't even know how he did that without us noticing!"
June exclaimed looking at the hole.
It was one of the accommodations of the academy, its sturdiness couldn't be underestimated.
'That scrounger must have used his knife! He really cares so much about his wine.'
In the cavity, there were about five jars carefully stored.
Noah took two of them and smiled toward June.
"Let's just laze around for today."
She giggled and moved to the first floor, followed by Noah.
"Your followers are becoming more daring! They actually waited for me outside of my Master's building when I went out today."
June complained as they arrived in one of the rooms.
She sat on one of the couches and took out two glasses from her storage device.
"Why are they even bothering me, this is becoming annoying."
Noah said while sighing, sitting next to her and pouring wine in the glasses.
They had become used to conversing like that, there was no awkwardness in their actions.
"The strongest student in the academy who has no ties to any noble family. Did you really think that you would be ignored just because you act grumpy? I bet that if they knew your element, they would go crazy."
"Those girls are already crazy enough due to your presence here. Sadly, they don't realize that you are just a battle maniac."
"Hmph! These words coming from someone addicted to cultivation have no value. For your information, I am rather popular among the male students, Master even said that there are girls interested in me…"
"I bet that if Professor Megan didn't say that to you, you would still be ignorant about it. Poor students, idolizing a wild beast."
"Oh, shut up. Look at you with all the mysterious halo. If I didn't know you, I would have thought that you were shy for real."
Noah snorted but a slight smile was present on his face as he sipped the wine.
June too seemed at ease and would lightly poke Noah every time he said something about her behavior.
That was their usual conversation, simply spending time together and joking with each other.
"You know."
June's smile vanished and was replaced with a bitter expression as she sat straight on the couch with both her hands on her glass.
"I know that you have your reasons for hiding your past but it can't be too beneficial to keep everything in your mind."
Noah's expression became complex as he reminisced his past.
"Are you saying that I can trust you?"
June nodded with her gaze fixed on her glass.
Noah sighed.
"I believe you will know it at some point anyway, I'm just trying to avoid loose ends."
