I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 341 Chapter 60: Ski Resort(3)

Ski Resort(3)

Skiing requires a considerable amount of physical stamina.

Aspiring magical warriors naturally trained their basic physical abilities regularly, so they were generally quite fit. Spending an entire day skiing, from lunch until evening, wasn't unusual.

Swoosh!

Flame, gliding on her snowboard, leapt off the hill with ease.

Her short black hair fluttered as snowflakes scattered around her.

(TL: she cut her long hair already.......... Unrelatable, I like girls with long waist-length hairs...)

Whoosh...!

The rush of cold wind hit her face, and for a moment, she felt a weightlessness that made her knees tingle.

That exhilarating thrill, enjoyed only by the most advanced skiers!

The so-called "Dragon Course," specially designed for experts, offered the excitement of ski and board jumps, making it a coveted challenge and a source of envy for others.

While her friends were busy on the beginner and intermediate slopes, Flame had spent the entire afternoon accompanying them. But now, she felt it was time to enjoy the course at her own level.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. I wonder where the others are skiing right now..."

The last time she saw them, about 40 minutes ago, they were enthusiastically saying, "We're ready for the advanced course now!" But she hadn't heard from them since. It would have been nice to have a smartphone at times like this.

Still, there was no need to worry. They had arranged a meeting place for 7 p.m., so she wasn't concerned. After all, they were Stella cadets, not children who needed babysitting.

Even though she wasn't physically exhausted, a wave of fatigue was creeping in, so she decided to enter the lodge at the top of the advanced course.

The interior was larger than expected and decorated like a cozy café, with a warm fireplace making it the perfect spot for skiers to rest.

Flame ordered a hot coffee and quietly sat in a corner, taking a break when she felt someone's gaze on her.

Is it her?

Yeah, I saw her earlier, she's pretty.

Isn't she a high schooler?

So what?

Focusing her magic on her hearing, she faintly picked up on their conversation. Though she wasn't a Night Position magician with enhanced hearing, the brief exchange was enough for her to grasp their intentions.

Pretending not to notice, she waited a moment until, as expected, a man in his early twenties approached her with a confident stride.

"Hey, I've seen you around a few times. I guess it's no coincidence that we keep running into each other."

Flame gave him a once-over.

His bleached blond hair, slightly tanned skin, rainbow-colored goggles that made her wonder if he could even see through them, and mismatched red and blue ski suit...

A bleached blond, tanned punk?

(TL: looks like one of those mismatched chromosomes number-pedo dude)

She never expected to encounter such a character in real life.

Not a fan of being hit on in either her past or current life, Flame's expression soured.
