In such a short time riding the carriage, we arrived at the best academy on the royal road that Morione-sama spoke of.
What I need to do now is to go to the principal’s office and get formal admission.
With a little bit of urgency, I take a step forward.
“It’s a bit difficult because it’s wide…”
Because he has a guild-like temperament, he gets a little lost despite being properly explained where the principal’s office is.
It was a building with the principal’s office that I was able to find after hard work, but the atmosphere inside was a bit unusual.
As soon as I entered, the surrounding noise suddenly became quiet and it turned into a quiet place where no sign of popularity was felt.
It’s like a warm foreignness to another world
However, without the strength to interpret that feeling, I busily climbed the stairs and passed the hallway until I arrived at the principal’s office.
“……”
A simple but elegantly designed wooden door that hints at a very important place.
I lifted the door, relieving the tension that was gathering in the too quiet atmosphere.
smart
In the silent hallway where no sound could be heard, only the sound of a knock resounded.
It was so quiet that there was a sense of solemnity, and the atmosphere seemed to carry weight in the air…
“come in”
However, breaking the silence, I swallowed dry saliva at the light voice of a woman from inside the room.
“Excuse me…”
Carefully pulling the doorknob, you finally enter the room designated as the principal’s office.
“Come on, are you that transfer student?”
As I entered the room, what caught my eye was a white woman as white as snow.
“I’ve heard everything from the god you serve, welcome to Lagris Academy.”
The voice of a woman with her arms wide open as if to welcome me and the sound of high heels squeaking in the room, which is uniquely overpowering as it is a spacious place, seeps into my ears.
“I’m sorry, but are you the principal of this academy?”
There was a person standing there who looked a lot different than I expected, and my curiosity soared.
It can be rude if you don’t, so when you express your question as carefully as possible, he gives you a friendly smile.
“Yes, I am the principal of this academy, Arsiana von Griande. Feel free to call me Arsia.”
You really are the principal…
I felt sorry for something.
“You dare to call the principal by name, it’s rude.”
At the same time, he finds it strange and funny at my words, and he gently clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth.
“Are you polite? There are a lot of times when you are mistaken for someone your age because you don’t show yourself well to students.”
I nod my head without saying a word, as if I could sympathize strongly with those words.
The person who claims to be the principal in front of me right now is a really ridiculously young person.
Her unique adultness is revealed, so I can’t say she’s the same age, but when I say she’s of the same age, she has an appearance that makes me believe it.
“Still, I’m a little embarrassed to be called the principal, so just raise it to the level of Mr. Arsia.”
Of course, it varies from person to person, but personally, when I was asked to think of the image of a principal or chief, it seemed even more embarrassing because I was reminded of the image of a middle-aged or elderly person who was solemn and solemn but with a sense of brilliance.
“But I’ve lived longer than the average human lifespan? Because of the nature of the race, it’s just to keep young. In reality, I’ve lived enough to live, so shouldn’t it be ignored?”
Ah… was that the reason?
Typically, races such as elves have longevity characteristics, so they maintain their youthfulness as if they had just become adults, even at an age that would be dead or old by human standards.
“By the way, may I ask what your race is?”
However, he rejects such a question with a slightly playful smile.
“I’m sorry, but that’s a secret, everyone has at least one secret they want to hide, right?”
Having said this, I had nothing to say, so I kept quiet.
“So far, the chatter, back to the point, Goddess Morione asked me to deliver this letter to you.”
Then, he takes out an envelope with an inscription symbolizing the goddess Morione.
“I don’t know the content, because I don’t have a hobby of peeping into other people’s things.”
As if to stop worrying about anything, he pleaded with me first and handed it over to me.
“Thank you, I’ll tell you that it was delivered well by the Goddess.”
Arsia, who handed me the letter, seems to be finished with her business, takes out a small note and allows me to leave.
“I’ve gone through all the procedures, so you can watch the class from the next hour. The class you’ve been assigned to is written there, so don’t get lost and find your way?”
I glance at the note, thank her and bow my head.
“Thank you, then I’ll just leave the room.”
Leaving behind Arsia, who smiles at my greeting, I step out of the principal’s office.
Principal of Lagris Academy, Mr. Arsia
Although it is still early days, his first impression was that he was a really kind and generous person.
Tickle!
When I hear a sound of a little grandeur and check that the door is closed properly, I immediately open the envelope and check the contents.
What the hell is Morione wanting to say, he didn’t do it himself in the temple, and he asked me to do it like this?
‘I entrust my servant with a noble task.’
At the top of the letter, he said that he has a request that he would like to solve in a rough way.
“I want to ask you something, so you wrote it in a slightly serious cursive-”
While grumbling like that, I checked the contents of the letter…
‘The headmaster of the academy is a heretic, you have to watch out for her.’
It was written so shocking that it took my breath away.
◆◆◆
“My name is Harold Wicker, a freshman who will study knowledge and overcome adversity together as of today.”
When I enter the classroom in time for the next class, the professor briefly introduces me to the students.
It depends on the gender, but everyone except me looks at me in a similar outfit, so I feel a bit of a burden.
“Wicker… this is the first name I’ve ever heard, but isn’t it a nobleman?”
“But isn’t it a little cute to see that freshman with a stiff body?”
“Aren’t you from the royal capital?”
I can hear the voices of the students joking a little about me.
In general, the impressions of the students were unfamiliar with the first meeting, a little friendly attitude, and in some cases, some people looked at me with a slightly strange gaze… Most of them looked at me with good eyes.
However, there were only two people who stood out in particular.
A girl who looks at me with eyes full of expectations more than necessary, and a girl who is more wary than necessary and even creates a negative atmosphere.
One had silver hair like Mr. Arsia, but the other had fine, shiny blonde hair with a slightly contrasting feeling.

Neither of them said a word, but from what point of view they saw me, the reaction was extreme.It must be a first meeting, and I am also seeing a face for the first time, but in some way, both of them show too much interest in me, so a cold sweat flows.
Why are you doing this…
Does anyone know me? But it’s a face I’ve never really seen…
“Come to think of it, this time, an immediate tactic was scheduled, and we had to evaluate the level of the freshman, but it went well.”
While I was in deep trouble, I brought out words that were unfamiliar to me and delivered them to the students.
“Let everyone go to the training ground.”
With those words, several people rushed to their feet and the situation became a little noisy.
“Student Harold should follow the kids. The structure of the academy isn’t familiar yet, but the training ground isn’t too far away, so it’ll be fine.”
Following the professor’s words, I follow the students’ path and wander through this unfamiliar place.
“hi?”
As I was walking down the street, someone came to me and talked to me.
“uh?”
When I turned my gaze, what caught my eye was the girl who had been paying endless attention to me earlier.
“Nice to meet you! You entered the academy this time, didn’t you?”
The girl who talks to me with a friendly smile gives me a warm and friendly feeling.
“Nice to meet you, you’ve heard my name before, Harold, Harold Wicker.”
At that, the girl smiled and nodded, introducing herself.
“I’m Aris Bill Herr, the 1st year president! I’ll take good care of you in the future!!”
Aris smiled and offered me a handshake. I also smiled and grabbed her hand.
“Thank you, I’ll take good care of you.”
It seemed like a good start for the first time in a pretty warm atmosphere.
“To brag a little, I’m 1st in grade! Of course, in terms of the overall ranking, I’m a little behind, but I’m pretty confident in the field of magic.”
Apparently, he was a typical student council president character who was too good-natured and generous to others, and from my point of view, he was not a bad type.
It’s a warm atmosphere right now
However, for a moment, someone’s voice breaks in and pours cold water on it.
“Don’t act like I’m being careless and proud of my self-governing 1st place… Well, I’ll grab it soon anyway and drop it to 2nd place, so if you’re going to enjoy it, enjoy it.”
The sharply established tone of voice penetrated her, and the mood fell in an instant.
“Yes…?”
“And freshman, I don’t know how good your skills are, but you won’t be able to surpass me.”
Unlike Aris, a girl with blonde hair, who had sent me a bad look earlier, comes to an argument.

No… What did I do wrong to have this attitude in the first place?To be honest, from my point of view, she was a first-timer and didn’t do any harm, but her aggressive tone filled me with anger.
“Who are you, you’re talking to me like you’re commanding me?!”
I couldn’t overcome the injustice that came in the end, so I lowered my voice and spoke sarcasticly about her…
pair!
At that moment, the sight flickered with the sound of flesh bouncing.
“Uh… huh?”
The development is so sudden that he can’t understand the situation and only opens his mouth.
woe….
As soon as he starts to recognize reality again, he loses his absurdity at the bitter heat he feels on his cheeks…
“you you…!”
A situation I could understand at once, a blonde girl slapped me on the cheek with all her might.
“What are you doing?!”
There’s a degree of rudeness, obviously, he was the one who touched people’s nerves first, but the fact that he used violence without a word made me feel angry and mad.
“What the hell?”
However, the moment I raise my voice and say something to her, I wake up to a situation more serious than mine.
“Uh… uh…!!!”
Eyes full of hatred as if looking at an enemy, a face with ferocious teeth grinding like a beast, and an endless sense of disgust penetrates me to the point of rushing to kill me at any moment.
“That’s rude!! Do you dare to know who you’re talking to?!”
Suddenly, he shouts at me, and the atmosphere in this hallway becomes haunted in an instant.
Why is she so angry now?
“There is a degree to being dull, without the chain of academy rules, you would have been sentenced to death a long time ago!”
“I think I’m ignorant by what I’m doing, but you dare not know me?!”
It’s so disgusting to know what you’re going to be, and it’s so blatant that you don’t even know where to start.
In this situation, whoever sees it, the villain is that girl.
But why…
Everyone else was looking at me negatively.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No why? I was still, but this student was the first to argue.“Calm down, Princess!”
But soon after, an offensive word was heard from Aris’s lines, who tried to stop her while using it as a high-pitched word.
Bar… What did Aris just say?
Ha.. Tue.. Princess…?
“Let go of this! Didn’t a vulgar thing that doesn’t even know the subject insult me?!”
At the sound of screaming with all my might, I unknowingly take a step backwards.
“Herald is probably from the countryside, so he doesn’t seem to recognize the princess, so please show your generosity and be kind to me just once!”
At Aris’s persuasion, the blonde girl sharpened her teeth and stood still, staring at me with sharp eyes, and then clearly introduced who she was.
“I’ll forgive you just this one time, so write it down carefully in this outdated mind!”
Arrogantly folded arms and harsh voices sentenced to me
“I am Marika Arivi on Constera! I am the first heir to the royal family who will carry the future of this country!”
