(Um, Sorry) I've Been Reincarnated (Web Novel)

Chapter 047 - Quiet Yet Noisy (Selphys POV)

TN: Big 3.

Here's the chapter most have been waiting for.

I am an Elf, a race who could talk to Faeries.

For the Elf race, as long as they listen carefully, they could converse with the faeries. And for that reason, we were also grouped under the Faeries by the Human race.

But, I was the bottom of the pile. Even within my village, I was ridiculed. Because I could not make a clear distinction of what I should and should not hear. In other words, I lacked control. The faeries voices were heard on 24 hours. It never stopped. Like a ringing sound that just wouldn't go away. It just kept bouncing around my head. I was already at my limit.

There were loads of faeries in my village as we were in the middle of a forest. Which was why my parents told me to attend the Capital's Phillis Academy since there were lesser faeries there than what we had here (village). The Capital was also at the front lines in terms of research so they might have a way to heal me.

Fear of me being lonely, being separated from my parents, they enrolled me into a dormitory so I could make some friends.

It was true in the academy, the number of faeries were not as much and I did not feel the giddiness I felt in my village. However...... Once I entered the dormitory, the noise! It was as bad as ever!

As everyone began to do self-introductions happily, my heart was just not there.

So noisy, so noisy, so damn noisy!!

Please stop talking!

I had begged them millions of times.

And was rejected millions of times.

They were laughing at me, saying it was my own fault for hearing them. That they wouldn't obey orders from a person with mana lower than them.

It was impossible.

I would have to live with this noise forever. I hate myself for thinking this way. I hate the faeries that forced me to think this way.

I somehow managed to endure through the day. But I am reaching my limit.

Today my class went through body check-ups. They also had their mana measured but as Elves usually have a higher amount of mana, the check for me would be done on a different day with a different crystal ball.

Through the gaps from the classroom, I saw how everyone placed their hand on the crystal ball. The day was ending soon. It was still fine in the classroom, but in the dormitory.... Why was it so noisy in there!?

The last student was a very beautiful boy. He looked like he skipped grades to be here. Because he looked younger than all of us, plus, he was really afraid of the crystal ball. Try your best! I shouted in my heart, encouraging him and when his fingers touched the crystal ball, it shattered! He, who fell on his butt, started bleeding. Was he okay?! Sensei then, in a panic, brought him somewhere.

Worried, I looked down the corridor and saw the rest of my classmate, as worried as I was. The whole classroom was in a buzz and the faeries buzzed along with them. My ears hurt! I scowled at the noise and at this time, Sensei came back. With a shout, he quieted the class down. It affected the faeries too, as they fell silent as well. ....Zelda-sensei, was that it? I give you my thanks.

And when I was thanking him, he announced that lessons were over. Ahh... I don't want it to. If possible, I wouldn't want to return back to the dormitory because of all the noise. But the only place apart from this classroom that I know of in the academy was only the dormitory. Having no choice, I followed everyone back to the dormitory.
