146 – [Side Story] Student from the Eastern Continent – 05
Martina forced down her aching head.
Belnoir Academy is the most prestigious educational institution in the Western Continent.
Even so, the crown prince is a talented person who entered the door of Belnoa this year with the tag of being a top martial arts expert.
Recently, the crown prince often gets into trouble and causes accidents, but the talent he possessed was real, so the teachers at Belnoa Academy, the emperor, and his subjects had some expectations.
The reason he is a troublemaker is because he is still young, and he will be able to make things right again.
However, after entering the academy, his behavior got worse day by day, and he began to cause more trouble by dragging his followers around.
The followers are also children of prestigious families who will one day become the emperor’s close associates.
Nord Uboris, son of the captain of the Ardian Empire.
A person just below the Crown Prince who proudly entered the ranks as Vice President in martial arts skills.
Although he was just below the crown prince, he was called a talented general who, unlike the crown prince, used not only swordsmanship but also various martial arts to a considerable degree.
Chris Maletti, son of Prime Minister Ardia.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was a genius who stood out since childhood, and that his written test scores at Belnoir Academy were almost always perfect.
Of course, I was the top scorer in written writing in the entrance exam as well.
The other boy, a brown-haired boy with sharp eyes who was standing slightly behind and observing the situation, was in a slightly different situation.
His name is Fortis Lendl Rudman.
In this western continent, he is the third prince of the Kingdom of Ludman, a military nation with a military power that is almost that of an empire.
He was transferred to the school partly because it was the best educational institution on the continent, but actually because he wanted to build friendships with the royal family of the Ardia Empire.
But, it looks like they have definitely built up a friendship.
The problem is that the friendship is followed like that.
And the last one.
The girl who was right next to the crown prince, rolling her eyes as if she didn’t understand the situation.
The clear blue eyes, cherry-like lips, and honey-colored hair are quite harmonious.
You might have thought that she was an amazing beauty at first glance, but since Martina had already seen her divinely beautiful beauty beforehand, it didn’t really cross your mind.
She is a transfer student who transferred to the school before Sir moved to the school.
She apparently said her name was Alyssa Ray Putt.
Martina had only heard about her through documents and rumors, so this was her first time seeing her in person like this.
She Martina thought about the information she had heard about this girl.
The eldest daughter of Viscount Leifert.
… Even so, it was a bit problematic to say that she was a pure noble daughter.
Originally, Viscount Leifert had one son who would inherit the title.
This was a young man who graduated from Belnoir Academy with excellent grades and was working hard to become his own author.
However, this time, while she was busy trying to resolve the incident that had spread throughout the western continent, she ended up losing her life.
The cause of death is overwork. He died from exhaustion while working hard for the residents of the territory.
Of course, the Viscount was heartbroken when his only son died.
The Viscount was already quite old and did not have the energy to have another child, and his wife passed away a long time ago.
She pondered whether to adopt a collateral relative’s child, but Viscount Rayffert remembered that there was once a woman who conceived a child after an accident of her own.
She is also a commoner woman.
Naturally, it was difficult to take her as a concubine because of her position, and she remembered that she had given her a large amount of money and sent her away while keeping her existence a secret.
It was a different story.
Viscount Leifert rushed to her district where she herself had sent her.
There, he found his daughter.
The child’s mother, who had been doing business by opening a small store with the money she gave her, had already died after falling ill and losing her store due to the disaster.
Viscount Leifert took away her young daughter, who was looking after the ruined store alone, revealing that she was his biological daughter.
Naturally, she faced opposition from her relatives, but in any case, it was clear that she inherited Viscount Rayffert’s blood, and there were no other direct blood relatives.
She thoroughly educated her daughter, who had already lived as a commoner for several years, and even sent her to Bellenoir Academy to make her her successor.
Alyssa, who was quite intelligent and showed great talent for magic, took the top spot in the magic test and was proudly admitted to Class A at Belnoa Academy.
Yeah, she was good up to this point.
The problem is that Alyssa Ray Putt’s behavior was not that good.
I don’t know how she became like that, but she seemed to have developed a close relationship with Prince Joshua, and she always stuck around with him and his gang.
Of course, Prince Joshua has a fiancee named Martina.
The female students of Class A, who were concerned about being too close to the crown prince, pointed it out and raised concerns, but she did not even listen.
On the contrary, she became even more attached to Prince Joshua, and she told him about the girls who told her what to do.
And, led by Prince Joshua, her gang threatened the female students who gave advice to Alyssa.
It was this incident that led Martina to find out about her affair with Alyssa and conduct her investigation.
And… After seeing it for myself, it seems that most of the survey results were accurate.
Viscount Leifert seems to have sent her daughter to Bellenoir Academy in order to grow up to be her worthy successor, but it seems she has turned into something else.
Martina stepped forward.
“…His Royal Highness, you have been late frequently lately and reports are coming in from all over. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before it reaches His Majesty’s ears…”
“You’re noisy, I take care of my own business. It’s not your place to argue, Martina.”
“…Is that so?”
If it comes out like that, Martina has nothing to say.
It was advice that she could give as a fiancée, but to Prince Joshua, it was just dismissed as nagging.
At some point, Martina also started giving him advice less and less frequently.
“So, what’s all this fuss about? What is that woman doing?”
It seems that Sir Wenthos has finally caught the crown prince’s eyes.
Martina secretly let out her sigh and then opened her mouth.
“…I am a student studying abroad, Your Highness. Didn’t Your Majesty tell me a while ago?”
“Ah…I guess there was a story like that.”
“Originally, Your Highness was supposed to be in charge of guiding international students… But have you forgotten?”
“Hmph, why should I be in charge of guidance for international students?”
Because it is His Majesty’s order… I took great pains to insert the words.
If he, who had already carelessly ignored the Emperor’s orders, now pointed this out, would anyone listen?
Professor Le Salca, who was watching from behind, opened his mouth and spoke as if he was familiar with this situation.
“Your Highness, it will be difficult if you don’t sit down soon.”
“…Let’s go.”
Prince Joshua and his gang, Alyssa Leifert returned to her seat and Professor R’Salka looked at Sir.
She said with a smile.
“Miss Sir’s seat is over there. You can go and sit in the empty seat over there.”
“Thank you, Professor.”
Syr went to the designated seat and sat down while bowing, and Professor R’Salka stepped forward.
Martina said hello to Professor Resalca and left the classroom.
Martina has her advanced class classes as Martina does, and this is all she can watch.
Although there are still some uneasy elements, at least Professor LeSalka will mediate well during class time.
Deciding to come back later, Martina went back to her classroom.
Martina’s anxiety fortunately ended in vain.
To be exact, Prince Joshua and his group always stuck together, so they didn’t show much interest in Sir.
As usual, he lived his life at the academy, making friends with other classmates who approached him.
Sir Wentoth’s academy life passed without any problems, and there were no major problems for Martina to watch.
Even after Sir became accustomed to the academy, Martina and Sir remained close friends.
Martina took care of Sir as her upperclassman, and Sir also got along well with Martina, often expressing his friendliness to her.
Sir naturally became the central figure of the class, and rose to the position of class president within a month of transferring to the school.
The person competing for the class president position was none other than Prince Joshua, but since Prince Joshua was only running as a crown prince rather than being interested in the class president position, it did not cause much of a fuss.
Martina, who had feared that Prince Joshua, who was already an adult, would vent her displeasure, was somewhat relieved by the situation.
But in the end, something happened.
First semester mid-term exam.
After entering the academy, the first exam to briefly summarize what you have learned so far.
Of course, it is not as important a test as the upperclassmen’s test, but even so, as nobles value pride and respect, it is a test that should never be ignored.
First year students take a written exam and a practical exam in both martial arts and magic.
All you had to do was choose two or more of these three and take the test.
And, after the test was over, the rankings were announced.

Magic Practical Test Ranking
1St place. Sir Wentoth
2Nd place. Alyssa Leifert
3Rd place. Lecce Thiatis
4Th place. Fortis Lendl Rudman
It was embarrassing to take all three exams, but the name Sir Wentoth ranked first in all exams.
Naturally, not only first-year students but even second-year students were shocked to see the first-year test rankings.
However, as members of Class A, her classmates who knew the girl named Sir well were only convinced.
Her usual appearance was so excellent that the results were understandable.
However, even though she was in Class A, there were some who did not know what kind of girl Syr was.
“Miss Cyr, you are truly amazing!”
“Why don’t we all study together this time? Actually, we’re planning to hold a study group in the near future…”
“Miss Sir, actually, last time…”
Although Sirwentos was quite popular in her A class, her tendency to do so became even stronger after her results in this exam.
If you are beautiful, have a good personality, and are even excellent, but you are not popular, that is an even weirder situation.
In this way, many people gather together and respond to each and every word and sword without losing their smiles.
‘Ahahahaha… I didn’t know that the experience of taking care of her younger siblings would come to life here…?’
The younger brothers were troublemakers and always ran around together, causing accidents.
The one who responded to those younger siblings with a smile was a girl named Sir Wenthos.
I think it was because of that experience that I was able to calmly respond to angry questions from classmates who were more mature than those troublemakers.
Anyway, for Syr, stabilizing the magical power of the western continent and enjoying this enjoyable life at the academy were quite satisfying.
It wasn’t a bad time with classmates who showed favor and interest in me.
However, this time ended with the invasion of a group.
“Sir Wentoth.”
An overbearing male voice.
In fact, this is the first voice Sir has heard since the day he transferred to this academy.
“What kind of misconduct did you do, b*tch?”
Prince Joshua and his entourage were glaring at Sir with cold eyes.
