Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 5/Ch 41 - Rumors of a Transfer Student

"Really? That's what happened between you two?," William laughed hard.

"It's not funny!," Allen exclaimed, slamming his hands on William's desk.

"Sorry, I can't help it. It reminds me of when I attended this academy," William wiped his eyes due to his excessive laughing.

"So you're telling me you were involved with girls when you were a student here?," Allen eyed him curiously.

"Uh, no comment," William crossed his arms.

"So you do admit you were after some girls here?," Allen eyed him further.

"Still no comment," William shrugged. "But anyways, you shouldn't let that all get to you. I understand where you are coming from, but I'm sure you'll both be fine in a week!"

"If she doesn't kill me by then," Allen's head fell down as he sighed.

The morning after Rose had confessed to Allen and he turned her down, they finally headed back to the academy.

The ride back was far from not being awkward. Both Allen and Rose could not talk to each other, due to their conversation the night before. Everyone seemed to take notice of the tension between Rose and Allen, but no one dared to ask. This left the ride back quieter than usual. Even Alice prohibited Sarah from taking over, otherwise she could make the situation worse.

Once everyone had gotten back, they all headed their separate ways. Everyone was tired from the trip, and they had classes the next morning.

However, Allen remained in William's office after everyone left. William could easily tell there was something amiss, and questioned Allen about it. Allen told him everything that happened the night before, which led up to their discussion now.

"I doubt she will try to kill you. She just needs some space away from you before you two can talk and be good friends again," William assured him.

"Are you sure about that?," Allen asked, worried. "I really hope our friendship isn't ruined from that. I tried to be as nice to her about it as I could"

"Yes, Allen. I am sure she will start talking to you again. You two are good friends, and I doubt that would completely ruin it for both of you. Just let her come back to you when she is ready, and your friendship will be fine," William elaborated.

"I really hope so," Allen scratched the back of his head.

Although Allen tried the best he could to be nice about it, he still couldn't help but feel a little guilty. A part of his mind thought that things could not go back the way they were before.

"Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?," William asked him.

"No, I think that was it," Allen responded as he got out of his chair.

"Alright, I'll see you later. I got a bunch of paperwork to do," he sighed as he placed a huge stack of papers on his desk.

"Just how much paperwork do you have to do?," Allen worriedly eyed the extreme amount of papers on William's desk.

"Enough," he sighed again. "This is what happens when you leave the academy to be attended by Walter. He made sure to save all the 'fun' stuff for me when I got back from my 'vacation'"

"I mean to be fair, it was a bit of a vacation," Allen shrugged.

"Why does my position as head director mean I have to do all of this crap!," he yelled as he spun around in his chair.

"Well, I'll leave you to it. Thanks for listening," Allen said as he began to walk out.

"Anytime," he smiled back at him, though you could tell there was anxiety in his eyes as he realized what he would have to do after Allen left.
