18 – Entrance Ceremony (3)

Among the academies located all over the continent, the capital, Phrygia Academy, is said to be the best.

Because this place is based on a thorough meritocracy, all talented people who can see the buds are put into one class and managed.

In most cases, class assignment is completed in advance in the document review, but there are cases where additional work is done on site to uncover hidden gemstones that are difficult to estimate with only documents.

“Haap!”

The wooden sword the man wielded collided with another wooden sword, making a dull sound.

At that moment, his hands tingled and his strength was lost, but he did not let go of the wooden sword.

When the two wooden swords were engaged in a power struggle, the man’s follow-up shot came in.

It is a motion that quickly draws the sword and cuts the side.

At the obvious attack, I lightly twisted my body to get out of the path of the wooden sword, and then raised the sword while digging into close range again.

As the distance narrowed in an instant, the bewildered man twisted the direction of his sword belatedly. It was after the upper body was already opened.

I quickly retrieved my sword and plunged my knee into the man’s abdomen.

The man fell backwards with a sound of “billion”.

The man couldn’t move for a while, as if he had hit the vital point properly.

The decision was made in an instant, which did not suit the colorful and muscular body.

Although he was defeated in an absurd way, the speed and movement with which he wielded the sword were excellent compared to those of his age.

Ten out of ten, if I were to deal with him, I would get tired of defending and lose. Even I, who can’t borrow the power of attitude, would have lost if I had dealt with only swordsmanship.

But the opponent was bad.

Since I was familiar with the flow of the game and the characteristics of the characters that appeared, I remembered most of the battle scenes of the characters in Heroic History.

Just now, he did the same thing Altane did in the game.

‘It was good to play multiple times.’

This was possible because I had a past me who broke the game several times because I was crazy about achievements.

“The winner is Lian from the Altane family! Fix your gear and go to the back.”

Mock battles for class assignments were held throughout the gymnasium.

The rules are simple. First, after dividing into two groups, winners and losers, class assignment is given priority within the winner group.

After that, the loser group conducts a mock battle once more to select a gemstone.

If he loses even here, he will be assigned to Class F.

Class F is literally a place where inferior students are gathered, and it serves as a kind of filter to gather students who cannot keep up with the future curriculum of the academy.

There are cases where it shines belatedly and goes to another class, but it is not very common.

At least in the game, as far as I know, there is only one.

I see, where are you?

“Jay lost? Didn’t that guy, Altane, play tricks?”

“There must have been some kind of device. If it wasn’t like that, there’s no way a guy with no roots like that could win.”

Upon arriving at the corner of the gymnasium according to the instructor’s guidance, those who had finished the battle first were gathered in twos and threes.

They all looked at me and whispered.

‘I’d rather speak in front of you.’

At this point, I want to find out the history of the Altyn family. I thought it was because there was no mention of it in the game.

What the hell did he do to spread rumors?

I’ll have to look around the mansion when I get back to Mene.

I sat down on a chair in the corner, ignoring the crowding gaze.

The mock battle was still in full swing, so there was some time before the class assignment was over.

In the game, it was just a few clicks away, which is unnecessarily realistic.

I sat down on a chair and enjoyed a leisurely break.

No one came near me, probably because of the falling image.

It feels as if you rented out the chairs around you.

‘Well?’

As I was looking around the gym with blinking eyes, I met someone’s gaze.

Even from a distance, her striking appearance and light purple hair was Reina.

She was holding on to her belly and standing next to the girl who had collapsed, staring at me.

‘Anything to say?’

When I chin up, Reina turns her head.

He was still expressionless.

He looked like he had something to say, or was he looking at me to laugh at me for being alone.

If that’s the case, you’ve succeeded.

I looked around and still no one was around me. If the class was assigned like this, becoming an assassin there was a set procedure.

I was trained enough in this situation in my previous life, so I didn’t mind at all.

‘Still, I thought it would be different in this life.’

Still, I wanted to become an insider in this world.

If I had been born into an ordinary aristocratic family in a remote area, I would have been able to fully enjoy life in another world.

I missed Risha, who agreed to my words for no reason.

When Mene is stable, let’s call Risha.

“Hey, by any chance, isn’t that Princess Iceteen?”

“Wow, I’m seeing the real thing for the first time. You’re entering school this time.”

“Isn’t that the person who was surrounded by men at the social gathering last time?”

“Come to think of it, I heard that the engagement was recently broken… .”

The group’s conversation topic, which had been whispering after seeing me a while ago, turned to Reina this time.

As a child of an up-and-coming family, rumors about Reina seem to have spread quite a bit.

Not only the guys, but most of the eyes of the gymnasium were looking at Reina.

‘It’s really pretty.’

The image of Reina flipping her sweaty bangs after the battle was really like looking at the game’s CG.

In addition, the back of the neck exposed between the hair tied up for battle came as a fatal charm.

Not only me, but everyone in this place seemed to feel that way, and couldn’t take their eyes off Reina.

‘I’m going to have a hard time after the entrance ceremony.’

Because of the increasing reputation of the Icestein family, there are few people here who do not know Reina.

Unless, like me, you deliberately go to a social church.

The news of the breakup must have spread there, too, so there are sure to be some guys trying to grab a piece of it.

Zed will have to dig in soon.

“Is it Altein? What are you doing here?”

“I heard that the tiger will come when I say it, but it was real.”

“… ? You are saying something incomprehensible.”

“done. Jed, did you pass too?”

“I’m asking for something obvious. How can I, the heir of the Theseus family, get fed up with such goofballs?”

Jed casually sat down next to me and said.

Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he seemed to have just finished fighting.

Reina was limited, although he lacked brains, it wasn’t that he lacked skills, so the mock battle itself wouldn’t have been a big problem for him.

“Well, if we were defeated here, theseus’ name would be disgraced.”

“As long as I am here, there is no defeat in our family.”

“… Well, work hard.”

“You don’t seem to care much.”

“what?”

“Anything.”

Jed speaks incomprehensible words.

Judging by the look on his face, it didn’t seem like he meant to be sarcastic.

As if looking at a distant mountain somewhere, his eyes were deeply locked.

The image is different from when I first saw it.

Was it such a serious character?

“Has there been no progress with Reina lately?”

“Why do you think so?”

“Otherwise, there’s no way you’ll come next to me.”

“Half right, half wrong.”

Looks right.

Anyway, when it comes to Reina, it’s the same in the game and here.

Let me give you some advice here.

“If you are a man, why not take a more proactive approach?”

“I don’t trust the advice of you who broke up the marriage.”

“Then go somewhere else. I need to get some rest.”

“This, once… Let’s listen and see.”

Unlike the first time I saw him, he looked visibly depressed.

I never thought the arrogant Zed, who lived a dissolute life relying only on his good looks and family wealth, would show up like this.

I don’t know what the story is with Reina, who rejects him, but it’s difficult if she and Zed don’t connect.

Because in the chaotic situation where Mine and other villains later appeared, only Zed could protect her when I wasn’t there.

Even in the game, it is Zed who attacks Altane who killed Reina until the end.

I got a letter saying the first meeting wasn’t bad, so if you heard anything, that’s next.

“You must have attended the banquet?”

“Of course. There’s no way I won’t go when there’s a princess.”

“Then what did you hear there?”

“I haven’t heard directly. but… For some time, I felt as if the princess’s consciousness was somewhere else.”

“When did you hear that you shouldn’t push?”

“It’s the first day.”

“Have you fallen for another man?”

“no. It wasn’t that kind of look. I kept staring out of the mansion like someone who had lost something. Yes, it was like waiting for someone.”

Isn’t that what it is?

There must have been quite a few men attending the banquet, but the fact that they continued to look outside, regardless of that, meant that there was someone waiting with all their might.

It must have been a while since he broke up with me, but it was also strange that there was someone who possessed Reina in such a short period of time.

Since she was involved with the Altane family and went through bad things, I was hoping to be connected to a prestigious family like Theseus as much as possible.

After all, he’s one of my favorites.

Users of any game will have the same mind that their favorite character will have a happy future.

Although the seat next to me was no longer mine, it was important to me to secure Reina’s safety first.

If it’s true that Reina was waiting for someone, I’m sorry for Jed, but there’s nothing I can’t do to support that love.

“Then you said it. You no longer have a chance.”

Until the finish is rotten.

Seeing my ridicule, Jed’s expression wrinkled. Then, nervously, he stood up and cried out.

“I will never admit it until I see it with my own eyes. I need to see what kind of face he is… No, I will definitely turn the princess’s heart back.”

“I’m cheering you on.”

Looking at Jed’s back as he walked away, I sincerely gave him a word of support.

It was quite moving to see the arrogant and rude son of an aristocrat change after realizing love.

I wanted to be connected to the Theseus family as much as possible, but what should I do now?

– Beep.

At that moment, a whistle sounded in the gymnasium.

It was the signal to announce the end of the mock battle.
