After her mother's st words , the versation ended . Looking at her own scroll for a moment more , Bke seemed lost . There was uainty in her eyes and her hand holding the scroll was shaking slightly . Bke was in sternation and had many flig thoughts . She was certainly worried about all the situations around her .
Squinting her eyes and g her teeth , Bke tucked the scroll away . Then taking a deep calming breath , she corrected her expression . Only when her calm , cold and indifferent expression , returo her face , Bke moved on . From that moment on , nothing stopped her which made the way to work faster .
ing out from around the er, Bke could already see Tukson's bookstore, which was across the street. Crossing the pedestrian walkway, Bke walked up to the door of the store. From which she moved atly when the door opened abruptly almost hitting her in the face. Fortunately, Bke is not a random person . She was in white fang for several years . She has experien fighting . Besides, the door was made of transparent gss so she could already see that someone , who is not paying attention to his surroundings is ing .
A step back was enough for her to evade the " threat " . Of course, there was no " threat " . Thanks to her aura , Bke wouldn't eve . However, it would be a bit humiliating. Besides , no one would like to be hit by a door , even if it would not cause any injury. It's just on sense .
Unfortunately , the blonde boy who opehem still did not look ahead , but looked back . Because of this he bumped into Bke . Or at least almost bumped into , because again without much effort Bke moved aside . And the boy in a show of surprise and helplessness fell over , ending up kissing the wet sidewalk .
The paper dots , which the blond boy carried under his arm , nded with him oreet covered with puddles . The papers that had avoided falling into the puddles ended up o sidewalk, remaining in pin sight of everyone who was close enough. Wrinkling her beautiful eyebrows at the human boy who in a panic began to collect the papers , Bke picked up and looked at one single page .
It was nothing but a letter of reendation to Bea , signed by the hunter . Looking at the other papers on the ground , Bke clearly realized that it was all the dots needed for Bea . This discovery made Bke raise her eyebrows at the blond man , who in a panic was trying to trol the mess .
Looking at this se , Bke said nothing . Instead she looked at the boy . He was an average-looking blond man in a pishirt , which was fairly well framing his body . This made it clear that he was well-built , but that was about it .
Bke could tell at a ghat the boy was just a clumsy teenager her age without any skills . No instincts suitable for training or experien bat . The boy did not try to avoid . Did not even try to cushion the fall . Of course in the first pce he shouldn't even stumble .Looking at the bleeding lip and skin peeling on his , Bke was also sure that the boy didn't even have an aura .
It was frankly a pitiful sight even for a civilian . Boy of his stature should at least have some instincts of self-preservation . A he did not even stretch out his hands when he flew to the ground .
Looking again and again at the enrollment papers for Be , Bke saw that there was clearly a picture of this blond boy ......... Bke had already guessed the situation . Looking at the bookstore , Bake's gaze looked like , disappointed and a little annoyed .
??? : " Sorry, I didn't see you . I am Jaune....."
Said the bloh a desire to introduce himself . However, Bke dismissed him . Shoving the reendatioer in her hands into his chest , pushing him a little . Bke ehe bookstore without looking back . At the ter Tukson was already waiting for her , he was watg the situation through the gss door and the rather rge dispy windows that are all along the front of the store .
Tukson : " You didn't even look at him , Bke . You are breaking poor Jaune's heart , what will you do whearts to think that there is something wrong with him as plexes . "
Said her temporary boss Tukson , trying to joke straight into Bke's disgruntled face . In the end he already khat Bke knew what he did . Balke, however, did not respond to the taunt . The boy was indifferent to her . Balke was also sure the boy had not tried anything with her . He did not have this kind of look in his eyes . At that moment he was rather shy .
However, if he get his hopes up and if he start's having plexes because of something like this , that his problem . Balke is already taken . Perhaps ign him may have been an act of grace . After all , there is no telling if a certain crazy wolf girl is hiding somewhere . And well st night has already shown that when Lappnd has a bad day , logic does not work on her . If she had a bad day and came across this situation . If she misinterpreted the situation , well in that case even if the boy didn't try anything with her , it still wouldn't save him .
Of course it's not that this is what Balke had in her mind . She just didn't want to waste her breath talking to the blonde . In the end , however , Bke knows that the boy had no sutentions . As for possible plexes , she did not care . If he is so ed that she ignored him , that's his problem .
Bke : " These papers . Is this your work ? "
Asked Bke ign the taunt , referring to the blonde , who had already hurriedly walked away from the bookstore .
Tukson : " Hello you too Ms. teer "
Said Tukson jokingly , with a sincere smile . And to crify , this remark was not meant to point out to Bke her being te , it was just a taunt to distract her . And partly it worked because , he could see in Bke's eyes that she was realy sorry about it . In the end , she was the one who asked for this job . Perhaps she literally used Tukson's guilt to get him to accept her temporarily . After all, Tukson didn't need employees . He managed himself very well , it was Bke who need money urgently .
Bke : " Sorry . You cut my absent time from my paycheck . "
Said Bke without aation . Along with these words , the apology disappeared from her eyes .
Bke : As for the dots he was carrying.
Said Bke with the iion of returning to the topic .
Tukson : " A clique matter . Besides, why are you so ied in it ? "
Said Tukson no longer pretending to be ignorant . He only shrugged his shoulders and seemed indifferent to the whole situation which seemed to get on Bke's nerves even more .
Bke : " The academy has a limited number of seats . The fact that he got , your fake letter of reendation , makes him ighe exams ao direct sele . Where he may actually get a spot . Then , it may turn out that I or Lappnd will not get on the list of students . "
Said Bke crossing her arms under her chest. And her gaze raising him. She waited for an answer , which did not e . In the end what was Tukson supposed to say ? Was he supposed to apologize for doing his job ? Well , Bke noticed it too , which made her let it go . She only sighed in fatigue.
Bke : " Sorry . I just have a stressful times . A lot of things are happening around me . And now I'm even worried if they will accept me and Lappnd to Bea . "
Said Bke with a slight embarrassment . However, it was not that she was lying . She is a walking bundle of nerves . Fortunately, Tukson uand this . He was not stupid and knows that Bke is trying to start over . He has been through the same thing . And even now he is worried about whether his old white fang friends will visit . In the end he is a deserter and he would face the fate of a deserter .
In his eyes Bke was like a younger version of him . Well , unfortunately Bke uood some things too te . So rather like a younger version of him with ara baggage of guilt . Besides, Bke is not alone . Besides herself , Bke also has to make sure that Lappnd is okay . And that certainly adds to her additional worries .
Tukson : " Tell me Bke why shouldn't they accept you? I doubt that you will fail any of the exams. Certainly not the physical and not the bat exam. I holy believe that you and especially Lappnd are no match for them. Surely you will not lose to a bunch of kids. "
Said Tukson with amusement and he was right . That was the truth , especially in the case of Lappnd. She easily fight with trained and experienced hunters . And here we are talking about children without real experiehe same with physical exams .
Tukson : " You are not stupid either . You and Lappnd should be able to hahe paper exams . "
Said Tukson with fidence which calmed Bke down a bit . Obviously Balke khat these exams would not be a problem . It is the psychological test that worries Bke the most . However, that's a worry for the future
Bke : " Whatever . I just don't want to see you carried away in handcuffs . Looking for a job would be annoying ."
Said Bke sarcastically , putting the topic aside . However, underh her sarcasm , there was Bke's sincere worry about Tukson. And while saying that she ast him , straight to the ba to start the shift .
Tukson : " Rex , the boy was never here . And I have nothing to do with it . I'm just selling books . Besides , the papers are not fake . The letter and signature are inal , so is the boy's data . Only his experience described iter are false . But they are written in such a way that it is impossible to determiheir authenticity . I am . If the truth e out , there is no evidence against me . This is not my first time when I do this . "
Said Tukson with a pleasant smile , tapping his fingers on the tertop .
Tukson : " As for your absen the m . Do I get aails ? The message you send , didn't say anything except that yoing to be te. "
Tukson asked, not expeg an answer, whideed he did not get. However, he already expected it . He simply sighed and shook his head. It was none of his business . Whether Bke shows up for work doesn't matter to him . He simply wouldn't pay her .
Tukson : " When you get ready , take these new cartons of books with you on the way . Sort and arrahem on the shelves ."
