“…Fray Raon Starlight, do you know how serious you are?”
“I don’t know? Why are you shivering so much with that one artifact you wrote?”
I’m playing solo with Isolet in the office right now.
The reason why I study alone is because the other professors glanced at me and left the office one by one.

Even if he is the first son of the duke who is holding the empire, is it true that professors are afraid of students?
But the corrupt academy of this corrupt empire has done the hard work. At this point, to be honest, it’s kind of shocking.
Of course, most of the professors who have left now are new professors in charge of the first year or come from commoners, but that doesn’t mean that this is a normal situation.
“…if it were a normal reinforcement artifact, it wouldn’t have grown so much. It’s definitely a violation, but it’s going to end with a decent punishment and penalty.”
While I was thinking about it, Isolette spoke with a serious expression on her face, so I asked with an annoyed expression as much as possible.
“Then why are you doing this now?”
“The artifact reacted to the saint’s ‘power’. You wouldn’t know what that meant?”
“My sister knows that my gun lost its light when I was young, right? Why is it all over again?”
As I brazenly answered with my legs crossed, Isolet sighed and then changed her expression to worry.
“Fray… you weren’t such a kid… the hell, why did you change like that…”
When I heard her soft voice, my heart instantly moved.
[Isolet Arham Bywalk’s current emotions: anger/disappointment/worry/pity/compassion]
Because of that wind, I used the [Mind Reading] skill without realizing it, staring blankly at the information in front of me, then closed my eyes and immersed in the memories for a while.
When I was a child, Professor Isolet, who always treated me kindly… No, Isolet noona was one of the few people who believed in me until the end, even when everyone pointed at me.
Come to think of it, my childhood friend and fiancee also tried to rehabilitate me to the end, but Lee Solet noona is more grateful because she believed in me even though it was just a close sister-in-law relationship.
So was it? Remaining in the academy until the end, slashing the demon king’s forces and saving students. When you see her dead body, you will surely come back to life if you return.
‘…No, let’s not get caught up in unnecessary emotions.’
Isolet Arham Bywalk is now alive in front of my eyes.
Not only that, the five ‘main heroines’ who hated me, cursed and died are also alive.
So, to make sure they don’t die again… I must become a False Evil.
“…don’t try to be emotional. I didn’t change, I just adapted to the world.”
“Fray…”
“…and you’ll realize that someday, too?”
“…what?”
“Even if you live upright like that, you will eventually break down at some point. You know your sister well, don’t you?”
“………”
It must be quite unpleasant to hear her, who has always used her beliefs as a weapon.
“Yeah, but even if I break it… the buds I’ve grown will bloom someday.”
Still, she doesn’t show any dislike, she looks at me and speaks softly. Really, he’s a fast guy.
“So, Frey. Stop being stubborn and…”
“Let’s get to the point. So what’s that artifact?”
It seemed that if we had talked more deeply, my heart would be revealed, so I quickly turned around, and Isolette looked at me quietly, sighed, and returned to her business-like expression.
“The artifact reacted to ‘sacred power’. That means… it’s an artifact that uses black magic, which is forbidden in the Empire.”
“…therefore?”
“Where did you get that artifact? Frey?”
“…in the back alley.”
“That brooch isn’t something that can be sold in a back alley…”
“You know it’s sweetfish, right?”
“………”
For the aristocrats, ‘back alley’ is a slang term referring to the largest and most famous dark market in the back world.
Of course, if caught under the imperial law, it is a severe punishment, but there are no nobles who protect it.
If there is a chance that the main characters of the empire and powerful people will meet, there are rumors that the carriage will be driven to the back alley instead of sending a letter.
“…can you handle that remark now?”
“I wonder if the Duke of Starlight wants to report me as the first son? It’s an era when, instead of being a duke, the baroness’s wife brags about the ornaments she bought in the back alley. Do you think the report will work?”
“…you must have forgotten my influence.”
“Rather than my older sister, who was half disloyal to the Bywalk family, who was the hero’s colleague… the first son of the Hero’s family, the Starlight, who was hated but not abandoned would have more influence.”
“………”
As soon as I answered, she glared at me like that, and then opened her mouth.
“…I will report this to the Imperial Family.”
“Yeah, do whatever you want.”
“And I’ll report it to your father as well.”
“Ah, that’s a bit…”
After the interview, when I go back to the dorm, I was going to write a letter to my father asking him to give me some money.
“Hey, I’ll do anything, so don’t just tell your father…”
“……..”
“…Huh? Sister?”
“Ha ha…”
As I begged urgently with a humble expression on her face, Isolet let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth.
“Then, I’ll offer you a condition.”
“…Condition?”
“…take me to the place where you bought it.”
“…What?”
“I can’t leave a place that sells magic tools that are so dangerous to students. I’ll attack you myself and get the evidence.”
“…I’m not a person who lives alone in another world.”
In a way, after sticking my tongue out for a moment at her great sense of justice, I nodded my head as if I liked it.
“Okay! I’ll take you! If you do that, you mean you won’t tell your father?”
“…okay.”
“Okay! That’s a good enough deal! Then, how about going on the weekend? I had to visit on the weekend anyway!”
“…we’re going to raid. We’re not going to buy things.”
“Don’t do that, noona, try using it right now! There’s a lot of weird stuff right?”
“…hate.”
I was laughing so hard and speaking with a smirk on my face, but inside, I was shedding tears of blood.
‘…Damn it, it was the best value for money.’
To have to let go of the store with the geeky owner who sold illegal artifacts necessary to do false evil at full price without being ripped off… It really hurts my heart.
But what if illegal is illegal? Instead of destroying the whole store, I have to take the good owner out of it and make him my own personal craftsman.
“Well, if you don’t like it, you can’t help it… Anyway, is it over now? I’m leaving?”
“……..”
Standing up from her seat, I glanced at Isolet, and she was silently immersed in thought.
“Well then, see you on the weekend!”
“…i get it.”
So, I said goodbye to her, who was sober, and quickly left the classroom.
For reference, as soon as I left, the professors who had been standing in the hallway blankly began to enter the office one by one.
Apparently, we need to think about ways to increase the teaching authority.
.
.
.
.
.
Time passed and the last class of the day came.
In the last class, Isolet, who had a job, did not come into the classroom, and it became a natural self-study atmosphere, and the playful aristocrats began to gather and have a conversation.
“So that’s it! That drunk guy then…!”
“Oh my, is that for real?”
“Pooh… that’s funny…”
By the end of the hour, the factions were already starting to become clearer.
“Fray-sama, that’s why… If you don’t mind, come with us after the academy is over…”
“…Hey, isn’t that what that stupid professor said? Don’t worry too much… We’re on Frey’s side.”
“To play with a brooch like that… It must be one of the lowly commoners. Shall we investigate each of them one by one?”
No, you really just have to see it.
Because all the nobles gathered around me and surrounded me and talked.
In a way, it seems that I am being persecuted by the nobles, but this is a subtle sign that noble students want to join my faction.
Unlike the common people who sit quietly behind me and read or review books, seeing the nobles standing in line and spreading the tactics, I feel like my blood is gushing upside down, but I can’t help it.
To become a false evil, I must be the head of these unanswered bastards.
– Druck!
Just as I was patiently patient with the vases about to fly, and dealing with the noble students one by one, the door opened and someone entered the classroom.
“”………””
And at that moment, all the nobles who were making a lot of noise froze.
It was because the person who entered the classroom was Clana Solar Sunrise, the 3rd Princess of the Empire.
With splendid blonde hair and eyes, the symbol of the imperial family of the Sunrise Empire, and an arrogant face that captivates those who see her, she exudes an aura that could grab everyone’s attention at any moment…
“…I found a good bar nearby! I’ll pay all the money, so why don’t you just enjoy there and forget what happened today?”
“…the professor said he’s in a state of discord with the Bywalk family? Then, isn’t it really nothing to see?”
“…well? It sounds like you still had some skills.”
“But if you look at the previous matchup… It’s true that Frey-sama is stronger? As expected, Frey-sama!”
“That’s right! I’m embarrassed because I lost for nothing, so someone must have given the excuse of a maliciously mixed brooch!”
The nobles who stared at her for a moment, for some reason, turned away from her and looked at me again and started talking.
“……..”
And they never looked again until the princess sat quietly in her empty seat, and they began to treat the princess as a stranger.
Yes, the nobles just finished making a value judgment in their mind.
Rather than a princess who is at the bottom of the succession line, who is nothing but a scarecrow, it is more beneficial to be part of my faction, the first son of the Duke of Starlight, who has been strong in the empire for 1000 years and cannot even treat the imperial family rudely.
“”……..””
And commoners don’t even come close to her.
Although she is a princess whom the nobility despises, she is too high for the commoner students who are ordinary citizens of the empire.
“”……..””
And, Kania and Perloche also do not approach her.
Kania is a warlock, so if she gets close to Clana and Perloche, who have the power of the sun, mana can run out, and Perloche is very reluctant to the imperial family because she is tired of the complicated power struggle between the church and the imperial family in the previous round. .
In other words, she is now a complete loner in her class.
“I’ve already succeeded once…”
However, I clearly heard.
“…there is nothing that can’t be done twice.”
That’s what she mumbled with determined eyes.
‘…Anyway, he’s a great person.’
If my fiancee is a model of a natural genius, the princess is literally a model of a hard-working, self-made person.
She was called a solitary princess at the bottom of the succession line, and in the previous round, she clenched her teeth and broadened her support base, while training to cut bones to improve her fighting ability.
After trying so hard, she was able to vomit the talent of eventually becoming the first in the line of succession, but in the aftermath, her cute personality wore out and turned cold.
However, her cute personality from the past, which popped out from time to time, was famous as one of the fun things to see in the Imperial Palace, which will welcome her as the new emperor.
Until the Demon King destroys everything.
“………”
As I was reminiscing about the past for a while, the princess began to stare at me fiercely.
I hurriedly turned my gaze away from her, and began to ponder the difficult problem that suddenly popped into my head.
‘…Does this have to prevent the princess from expanding her powers? Shouldn’t it?’
If I let the princess expand her power, my life is in danger right now, and if I do so, the future empire is in danger.
Because all other heirs to the throne are scumbags.
‘…I’m going to turn, really.’
It feels like nothing is being solved and only new problems keep piling up.
“…Geez.
“Yes? What?”
“It’s nothing, by the way, did I say it was a bar earlier…?”
I spit out the words my ancestors liked to use in the prophecies, and started to make a drink with the nobles.
Today, after drinking alcohol or shaking until dawn, I want to lie down in bed and sleep soundly.
.
.
.
.
.
“…are you here, master?”
“…Oh, that’s right. You were there.”
I forgot Kania was in my dorm. He even waited until dawn with his eyes open for me, who had been drinking alcohol.
“…Then, get ready for a bath.”
“No need. Get out of here.”
“Yes, I’ll sleep on an extra bed.”
“No, get out of the room.”
“Then good night.”
“…f*ck it.”
After a long time since I spit out swear words, I soon realized that this was a loss of false evil points, calmed my mind and laid down on the bed.
‘…If you keep lying down like this and find out that Kania is asleep, you’ll breathe life into tomorrow and I’ll sleep too.’
While I was lying in bed with my thoughts organized, I found a black cat doll on the desk.
“…Hey, what’s that?”
“You mean that?”
I pointed to the doll and asked, and Kania answered the question with a smile.
“…my brother gave it to me as a gift. Isn’t it cute?”
“Tsuk, it’s a black cat… Unlucky.”
Actually, I really like cats, but I lied to myself. I think it’s because I have a habit of always living and acting as a false evil.
‘…that’s sad.’
Depressed by the overlap of drunkenness and dawn sensibilities, I quietly turned off the lamp at my bedside, closed my eyes, and started pretending to sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
So, it’s been quite a while since Frey and Kania went to bed.
“…are you sleeping?”
“……..”
Frey, who was lying quietly with her eyes closed, asked a question to Kania, and after confirming that there was no response, she quietly stood up.
“…Okay, I’m sure you fell asleep.”
Since it has become a daily routine for Kania to breathe life into her sleep, Frey, who can easily tell whether or not she has fallen asleep, started to turn her right hand around and head to the extra bed after determining that Kania had fallen into a deep sleep.
“Then, shall we start today?”
Before long, Frey, who arrived in front of the extra bed, slowly began to extend his hand to Kania, who was sleeping.
“………”
And Frey’s figure was reflected in the eyes of the black cat doll lying on the desk.
