153 – New Student Banquet (3)
I will post an illustration of Grace in the notice! Please check back later!

United Academy is a world-renowned educational institution and is also famous for its complex international relations.
It was originally established with the purpose of uniting the world against the threat of the devil, but it has now long since deteriorated.
Fortunately, the purpose itself has not been completely obscured, so it serves as a last bastion.
If there are signs that a war is about to break out, the Academy tends to stop it immediately.
If a country starts a war without a specific cause, it would restrict admission for several decades.
It could have been a form of abandoning the future and only taking immediate profits, so I tend to be self-respecting as much as possible.
Thanks to this, the conditions for satisfying the cause became considerably more difficult and at least peaceful days continued.
“If only blood wasn’t shed, it could be called peace.”
“Hmm. That’s right!”
“But this cannot continue forever. There will definitely come a day when blood will be shed.”
“That’s a fair statement!”
“··· ···”
The Matra Empire is considered one of the most powerful countries in the West.
The emperor who rules the empire, Richard III, made a complex and subtle expression as he looked at the young man who answered energetically.
Both of them had angular faces and dark gray hair, showing that they were of the same blood.
The difference is that Richard III was a middle-aged man with a stylish beard, while the young man had a neat appearance.
More than anything, the young man’s eyes were unusual. The look in his eyes went far beyond passion and was close to enthusiasm.
The blue eyes shined brightly, almost like a so-called clear-eyed madman.
“······Did you listen to me?”
“Of course!”
“Haa…”

At the young man’s energetic reply, Richard III sighed.
Why does my neatly maintained beard feel rougher these days?
He may be his own son, but that makes it even more of a problem. What’s actually funny is that there isn’t much gossip.
This is because the evaluation that is worn like a label has so much impact that it cannot even be called gossip.
“······Son.”
“Yes! Abama!”
“Aren’t you planning on ruling in a more normal way? I want to hand over the throne to you.”
Richard III has five children. He has a total of three sons and two daughters, including the young man in front of him.
The young man is the second son. Usually, the right to succeed to the throne is given to the eldest son.
Then where did the eldest son go? Simple.
The second son right in front of us, Karas, took care of it himself.
“I don’t know what you meant by that!”
“You really don’t know?”
“Yes!”
“Phew…”
Richard III sighed again. This is a headache in many ways.
The eldest son Karas dealt with had great skill in handling power.
The problem was that there was too much greed for the throne. So he kept his brothers in check from time to time.
Under such control, not only were his brothers’ hands and feet cut off, but even their eyes were covered, making it seem as if the next emperor had been decided.
“······Karas.”
“Yes! Abama!”
“Couldn’t you stop with that damn freedom-fighting ideology? The ideology you have is very dangerous to us as well.”
But things changed when Karas gained ‘enlightenment.’
Since he could not do it alone, he joined forces with his other brothers and drove out his eldest son.
As a result, the eldest son was naturally deprived of power and forced into his villa.
With such resourcefulness, it was natural for Karas to become the crown prince. Up to this point, Richard III was satisfied.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work!”
“What if I dethrone you?”
“I’m going to drag my father down from his seat!”
“hehehe. Have you seen this crazy son?”
Richard III laughed helplessly. The word bull stubbornness was a perfect fit.
The scary thing is that Karas has the ability to do that. Even if I don’t know anything else, I recognize one ability.
He’s capable, but he’s crazy. The idea of dethroning Karas and choosing someone else did not appeal to me.
‘It’s true that even if I say it out loud, I can’t get rid of it…’
It would be great if we could fix it somehow. Unlike the eldest son, there was no good reason to dethrone him.
From ancient times, even if someone showed the temperament of a tyrant, everyone would get away with it as long as they did their job well.
Moreover, personality and politics are separate stories. From the perspective of nobles and commoners, no matter what the monarch’s personality, as long as he governs well, that’s the end.
“······Okay. It looks like I can’t convince you yet. Then, when are you going to give up that feeling?”
“Until the people realize true freedom and drive out me as emperor!”
“··· ···”
Richard III is a hit! He placed his hand on his face to make a sound. Just listening to it is a dizzying thought.
The people join forces to drive out the monarch. If this happens, the royal family, which boasts a long history, will be cut off.
It was an extremely dangerous idea, so the nobles were quite wary of it, but if you dig into it in detail, there are many contradictory aspects.
Because of that contradiction, he is treated as a shepherd boy. Even the treatment is close to being an idiot.
“That’s it. Let’s skip over that absurd idea and tell me what we’ll do at the academy first. Is there anyone who’s interested?”
“Yes! There is!”
“Who are you? Are you, after all, a Tatar princess?”
Richard III mentioned the Tatar princess, Kara. He is a person who cannot help but be mentioned from the imperial standpoint.
Before the Tatars founded the nation, the Matra Empire had many troubles due to the Tatar tribe.
They invaded the border from time to time and committed plunder, and to subdue them, we had to enter the desert.
Although looting is unavoidable due to insufficient resources and supplies, damage is damage. Of course, there is no way this can be viewed positively.
“The Tatar princess is interested, but there is one person who is more interested!”
“Who are you?”
“This is a man known as a wild man!”
“······Wild people?”
King Richard III frowned at the term “Wild man.” He had no thoughts for a moment.
But soon I realized who the wild man was. As the rumor spread widely in the academy, it also reached the emperor’s ears.
“What’s wrong with that wild man? There’s no reason to be interested in him other than he’s strong?”
That’s it. From Richard III’s point of view, Sivar was nothing more than a man of outstanding talent.
There are not many people in that age group who are as strong as Shiva, but there are people who are as strong as Shiva.
So, unless he caused a notable incident, there was no particular reason to pay attention to him.
“I don’t care about strength! I just wonder if even that wild man knows true freedom!”
“··· ···”
That’s right. Richard III chuckled in vain.
Meanwhile, Karas clenched his fists and said what he wanted with his eyes becoming more intelligent than before.
“I’m going crazy wondering what the reaction will be! A wild person who lived in the wild with infinite freedom and then entered a civilization without freedom! How interesting is this person?”
“······God.”
Richard III closed his eyes and looked for God. I couldn’t think of a way to correct this idiot.
I wish he had a strong desire for power like the eldest son or was an asshole like the third son. He can somehow put an end to it with the authority of the emperor.
However, it is difficult to even correct a person like Karas who is an idiot and has deep beliefs. Even so, his abilities are too good to pass up.
‘Is God really abandoning us…’
To be honest, I didn’t throw it away.
“Oops! It’s almost time to leave! Let’s go, Abama!”
“······Okay. Are you going with Leo and Diana?”
“Yes! I’ll be careful to make sure he doesn’t flirt with other ladies!”
“You be careful, you son of a b*tch.”
I just opened the popcorn and watched with interest.
*****
The day of the long-awaited freshman banquet has arrived. The freshman banquet can be considered a microcosm of politics.
While waiting for the new student banquet, I trained with Rize and checked the report card sent to the dormitory.
The grades are definitely top-notch. However, perhaps due to my eccentricity during the midterm exam, the points were few.
Still, it is a significant point and I think it will be useful in the future. I plan to use all of this as investment.
‘The higher the points, the easier it will be to buy quality herbs at a cheaper price or obtain workshop materials.’
The investment targets are, of course, Ellie and Jane. The more you nurture talented people, the more you will receive in return.
Rare herbs can be obtained from the Forest of Chaos, but there are clear limits, and workshop materials go without saying.
I roughly wrote down the things I needed to buy in the future and quickly changed my clothes. Now it’s time to go.
“As expected, you look good on me. I said the banquet would be held in the auditorium, right?”
“Yes.”
Lize said as she helped me change my clothes. She will not attend the banquet.
Not only is there no reason to attend, but it can also be noisy. Instead, Rod is likely to attend.
If an unnecessary dispute arises, the Lord will personally stop it. This gives you an idea of how great his status is.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“My pants are tight.”
“That can’t be helped.”
I tried to find pants that were larger in size, but they were still uncomfortable. I don’t know what material it was made of.
Still, it didn’t look strange or flutter like bell-bottom pants. Clothing is appropriate.
“If you feel awkward, it’s a good idea to stick next to someone you know. Did you know?”
“Yes.”
I’m still planning on snuggling next to Luna and Ellie. Grace and Kara will have no choice but to be dragged around due to their position.
On the other hand, Luna and I are relatively free. You can give them attention, but it only goes so far.
‘Are Luna and Ellie a bit tempted by men?’
Both of them are very beautiful and have great bodies. In particular, Ellie needs no further explanation.
It’s okay to dance, but if I feel an insidious touch, I will stop you immediately. There are people we are already considering.
‘The crown prince said he was coming, so those two will follow too.’
Twin siblings and members of the royal family famous for their quirky personalities.
There is a widespread rumor that if the crown prince is an asshole, the twin siblings are assholes. That’s true in reality too.
If possible, it is best not to get involved with them. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just stick my fist in his face.
‘In addition, a princess from the Hwan Empire will visit…’
This may be related to Lee Yeon-ju, so you better be careful. For your information, Lee Yeon-joo is not officially participating; she must have been in disguise.
At that time, they will secretly attempt to assassinate you. If you prevent that, you will be a great helper in the future.
“Now let’s go. Let’s keep the accident at a level that Chaos would like.”
“··· ···”
You’re not saying not to cause accidents. What is the evaluation of me?
I laughed to myself and walked away. As Rize said earlier, the place where the banquet is held is the main auditorium.
It didn’t take long to get to the main auditorium, so I walked leisurely and looked around.
‘There are quite a lot of people.’
There were a lot of people, not only freshmen but also people from all over the world participating.
There were even rumors that the crown prince would attend, so more people would come.
There was a strong possibility that attention would be focused on the crown prince or other personnel rather than on me.
“······Huh?”
Then suddenly, there was one person who stood out in particular. It was very noticeable even from afar.
A pure white dancer’s uniform contrasts with her bronze skin. Unlike the dancer’s uniform worn during the last memorial service, it was in the form of pants.
Nevertheless, the top completely exposes the abdomen, so it looks quite naked. There is only one person with those characteristics.
“Kara?”
“Hmm? Ah! Sivar!”
I was able to meet Kara at the entrance of the main auditorium. As soon as Kara saw me, she gave her characteristic cool smile.
I glanced at Kara’s abs, which stand out today, and then barely looked up.
“I never thought we’d meet now. If you look closely, it seems like we meet like this often?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s go quickly. The other kids are all gathered inside.”
I guess I’m late. Guided by Kara’s hand, I entered the main auditorium.
When we held hands, I felt eyes on me, but I ignored them all. This is nothing.
“Wow.”
“That’s amazing.”
When we finally entered the main auditorium, Kara and I were both amazed.
The auditorium I saw before was literally an ordinary auditorium, but today it was literally a banquet hall itself.
The chandelier hanging in the sky and even the window curtains were red, creating a unique atmosphere.
“You’re here. I was wondering when you were coming.”
“Huh?”
I was looking around the main auditorium. A familiar voice reached our ears.
When I turned my head, I saw Grace greeting us, holding a wine glass in one hand. But the outfit was amazing in many ways.
“Hey. Are you pretty bold?”
“But Ms. Kara, you are bold too. Is she wearing traditional Tatar clothes?”
A black dress with a purple sash tied around the waist.
However, the center of the dress was completely exposed, exposing all of her cleavage.
It’s so scary that if you walk slightly to the side, even your private parts will be revealed. As Kara said, it is quite a bold outfit.
‘Is that a runway?’
To the point where shallow thoughts inevitably come to mind. I usually don’t think about this, but it was an outfit I had no choice but to wear.
Fortunately, Grace was not embarrassed by my gaze. On the contrary, he subtly crossed his arms for emphasis.
Kara Even the slightest shaking of her breasts stimulated the man’s lust. It looks like he really planned it out.
“Mr. Sivar. Have you ever drank alcohol? If not, I can recommend it.”
“I’m curious. Would you like to have a drink?”
“Umm…”
I pondered, keeping my eyes moving back and forth as best as I could. I’ve never drank alcohol, but I don’t really like it.
It’s okay to get drunk, but I dislike the unique bitter taste. People will criticize me for saying it’s a child’s taste, but I really have nothing to say because it’s a child’s taste.
“Is it delicious?”
“There’s also something Mr. Sibar likes. It’s a drink with a superb sweetness.”
“Would you like a drink?”
“Okay, but you shouldn’t drink too much, okay?”
“Okay.”
At this time, I had to take Grace’s advice seriously. Because I didn’t know until then.
One of the things we need to be most careful about in civilization is ‘alcohol.’
“It’s delicious!”
“It’s delicious, right? Would you like some more?”
“Yes!”
Something was becoming very dangerous.
[Faith rises!]
Never drink alcohol when a women offers it to you
