013. Uninvited Guest (1)
The western district of Vera Academy is traditionally a large area with dormitories and lecture halls for students. In such a western district, each class was full of chaotic atmosphere, perhaps thanks to the new semester.
It is a little awkward and a little nervous, but it is natural for each student to have a weak anticipation on their faces, befitting the future of a bright continent.
“Whoa… ….”
But isn’t everyone in a good mood?
The girl who was sighing deeply now, Delia, was in a complicated state of mind. During her entrance exam, she was stunned and stunned by a skeleton protruding from the dark, which led to this girl tearfully being admitted to a B-class class.
Her evaluation was made without even showing her abilities. And this fact must have been news to her father, the duke of the Imperial Empire, who had supported her both physically and mentally from the time she was born.
“Ahh… ….”
I already have a good feeling about what kind of evil spirits will fall if I go back home. So, unlike the others who are full of their own expectations, they have no choice but to sigh deeply.
“Delia, what are you so worried about?”
“Ah. Number of animals.”
A girl approached Delia and said her words to her, whether or not she knew her worries.
From what I heard, this girl named Marie, from the kingdom of Gaul in the west, was assigned a room next to her dormitory, and thanks to her unique affinity, the two of them had already become close friends even though the semester had just started.
“Delia looks like her rain-soaked cat when she sighs.”
“Isn’t that a compliment?”
“That’s right.”
“…… I know it’s unlucky, but if my father finds out that I, who was called a promising player in Yeongji, entered Class B…… It’s going to be a real mess.”
“It’s unfortunate, but I need to have a mindset that suits the situation at this moment.”
“Yeah, I know that.”
After Delia answered, she sighed again.
I don’t know where the estate where this girl named Mari grew up is, but what is certain is that the girl grew up receiving a lot of love from her parents and the people around her.
She probably wouldn’t even think of that when Marie faced her father. A person with the title of duke, a great nobleman of the empire, has a unique sense of intimidation just by his very existence.
“It’s so amazing. Even though there are so many people, it’s not all.”
At Marie’s words, Delia lifted her head from her desk and looked around her.
Certainly, a staggering number of students. First of all, it is an academy that exists up to the 4th grade depending on the student’s year. The people sitting in this classroom right now are all first-year students like Delia, and people from Class B who participated in the class called ‘Understanding and Mastering Mana’.
That means that even now, at this very moment, there are countless students preparing for classes in the vast academy grounds…. Even though he was an academy student, the scale was unrealistic.
“It’s out of the blue, but you know what, Delia?”
“Huh?”
“From my point of view, the men of the Vera Empire are more handsome than the men of the Gallic Kingdom. His skin is smooth and he seems tall.”
“…… Have you been watching that all along?”
Delia, whose face turned absurd at the unexpected whisper, looked at Marie.
I knew at least that he was from a rural baron in the next country, but what was the point of being a male at the academy!
Delia snorted violently. Although she is now suffering from her melancholy thanks to the results of her entrance exam, she eventually becomes the daughter of an imperial duke. It was at this time that she raised herself up to her new friend, thinking she needed a sharp sermon this time.
“Look over there, Delia. That man.”
“… ….”
I still can’t come to my senses!
She was Delia who had such thoughts, but… …. Soon she had no choice but to blush on her head as she returned to her temple against her will.
‘I guess I’m lacking in training too.’
From noble mtl dot com
Yes, as the daughter of a ducal family, there are things like dignity that need to be protected, but…. Still, her friend is making such a fuss, but there’s nothing wrong with taking that object in your eyes at least once.
Delia, who was compromising with herself in her heart, found that person, and after turning her head around, she was able to find one.
“Hup.”
“Isn’t it? Am I right?”
Nodding.
She had no intention of scolding Marie as her friend just a moment ago, but she disappeared and Delia nodded her head fervently.
It was literally a man with a violent appearance.
His hair is as blue as the open sky. Contrary to that, the red jewel-like eyes were shining and shining……. Is that all? Although it was not visible due to his rather tall height and clothes, his well-trained body and cold impression decorating the finale made his face feel hot.
The man who had just entered the classroom quietly looked around.
The man looked around the classroom for a while, as if looking for an empty seat, then strode forward and sat down next to Delia and Marie.
“What can I do! Are you sitting next to us?”
“What, what should I do? It’s just because there’s an empty seat here.”
“Shall we talk or walk?”
“Yes…… Oh no.”
Have you been listening to Delia’s words?
“Hello.”
Delia couldn’t help but scream inwardly at the sight of Marie talking to the man without pretending to listen to Delia.
‘No, if you’re going to do this, why did you ask!’
But bringing it out of your mouth is a completely different matter. So Delia, who had difficulty swallowing her words, could only blankly watch her friend do it.
“…… Nice to meet you.”
“I am Marie from the kingdom of Gaul. The friend sitting next to her is Delia, the daughter of the famous Duke of Hindenstaufen.”
“M-Mari!”
Marie casually reveals her identity. Delia tried to stop her, but her water was already spilled.
“From the kingdom of Gaul? Is it true?”
“She is the daughter of an unknown baron.”
“…… Okay. My name is Berris.”
“That’s a nice name.”
She sees Berrys, a man who nods her head with a trembling face in response to Marie’s compliment, smiling brightly, whether she knows Delia’s feelings or not.
What does that mean? Clearly wary of her sudden friendliness, Delia raised her hand and covered her face.
‘Berris?’
However, I feel like one fact hits my head.
‘Seo, could it be that the robe that went with that elf at the time?’
With a face like that, Delia wondered why she was wearing a robe and why she was wearing a hood.
* * *
As soon as she found an empty seat in the lecture hall and sat down, Veris couldn’t help but express a question thanks to the girl who suddenly started talking to her.
‘From Gaul?’
It’s a strange thing.
The girl named Delia who was sitting next to me already remembered seeing her on her first day at Berrisdo Academy. However, isn’t Mari’s words of introduction and the reality far too far apart?
‘Mary, not Mary.’

Is there anyone living in this world who doesn’t know the family name of the Vera Empire?
Maria Theresia.
She would be lying if she hadn’t heard of that name, even if it’s Veris, who lives ignorant of the world.
‘What game is this again? The princess hid her powers. What is it?’
What kind of harmony is it that she, the princess of the empire and a freshman at this academy, suddenly pops out of the B class classroom? Besides, since her abilities are quite high, isn’t she a waste of talent to be in Class B?
“How did Veris get into the academy? No, she’s more like a name I’ve heard of somewhere before that. I must have heard it in the distant past…… “
What makes her Berrys even more embarrassing is the fact that the princess is chattering excitedly, as if she didn’t even know that her identity was found out.
If you’re a member of the royal family, you’d probably put more weight on your actions and exude an oppressive atmosphere, but looking at this figure, even if your actions are light, how can they be so lighthearted? She wants to. If not, she might just be playing a lighthearted person.
“…… So I took down a group of bandits. Contrary to her slender appearance, she is quite a capable woman.”
“Oh, yes.”
Maria continues to chatter even though class is about to start. Obviously, Berris was only responding to her in short answers, but this woman was telling her adventures without even asking how much she liked to talk to people.
Delia, who was sitting behind Maria and shaking her head, had a strangely haggard expression on her face, probably already sucked in.
Berris couldn’t help but sweat at that pitiful sight.
‘Wrongly selected.’
Originally, Gunther was the only talkative person around. But did she say there’s another sky out there?
The situation was just like that. She thought Gunter was the talkative guy in the academy, but this hidden princess boasted a level that was several times worse than that.
─ Drruck.
“Quiet.”
However, no matter how talkative you are, there are definitely limits to that. The person who saved Veris from sudden noise pollution was none other than a sturdy middle-aged man.
Even at a glance, he looks like he wants to appeal by saying, “I am a professor.” The bald head and small glasses look good together.
“Nice to meet you, Professor Theon, who will be teaching you all year round.”
Theon, the professor who introduced himself, looked at the students sitting in the classroom without saying a word.
Perhaps it was because it was the first class, the strangely flowing silence made the atmosphere even more heavy.
“Let me make an interesting suggestion.”
“A suggestion?”
When a student answered his declaration, Professor Theon nodded his head and walked slowly around the lecture hall before standing in front of the podium. The intense eyes that encompassed all the students showed that he was not an ordinary person.
“Professor, isn’t it dazzling with the light reflecting off your hair?”
“Shh.”
“If you see one of you who handles white mana, or that person, please report it to me. I will put my name on the list of scholarship students and recommend you to the top class with my honor as a professor.”
Woong, woong, woong.
Professor Theon’s strange suggestion caused a small noise among the students.
“White mana? What the hell is that?”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
Theon raised his hand to calm the turmoil, as if he had already fully anticipated the students’ reactions, and then paused for a moment before continuing.
“Then, what Professor Bon has to say is strange. Let’s start class now.”
After saying that, Theon’s gaze flew straight to Veris. It was a fleeting moment that no one noticed, but Veris didn’t miss it.
