"To celebrate the beginning of school life.... And our friendship.... Let's.... A toast".
"""""Return!!!""""".
In-night. After the welcoming ceremony of new students.
Ritzia invited all her fellow classmates to celebrate their own party in order to get to know each other. But there was no Sylvia there.
They were having a party at a restaurant that had been booked. Finished with their Ritzia welcoming speech they festively began to eat, drink and introduce each other.
Although others enjoyed this simple party, Dylan was still speechless as he thought about the previous events, where he met and came face to face with the Hero and the main character "Long Life Brave" the Reiner fou Stenly.
(I know, sooner or later.... We'll meet.... But I didn't expect it to be this fast.... Well, because there is still no problem or event that is important..... I'd better slowly get away from him).
"So, by the way all.... Our classes start tomorrow. I wonder who will be our homeroom teacher later?".
Ritzia again broke the atmosphere by starting a small talk.
"Hm.... If I do, hope Olga-sensei is our homeroom teacher".
"That's right, Fira... I agree with your opinion".
"I think it'll be a lot of fun..... Considering she's such a nice woman".
"I also agree, he had a good impression when he became the magic test supervisor".
The Ritzia question was immediately answered by Filaret who expected Olga to be their homeroom teacher. It was approved by Emilia, Ritzia herself and Olivia.
"Well, if I.... Hopefully, Alex-sensei will be our homeroom teacher".
"My mind is the same as yours".
"I think we'll get stronger if we're trained by that guy".
Meanwhile, Awin, Ornest and Arnold desperately want Alex as their homeroom teacher.
"If you're how, Dylan.... Who do you expect to be our homeroom teacher?".
"As long as he can give good direction and useful knowledge..... No one's a problem".
"Heeee..... So yeah".
Dylan didn't mind who would be their homeroom teacher tomorrow. Hearing that answer, made Garcia nod in understanding.
Then, Emilia started talking.
"Bw, Dylan.... Your speech this morning, it was completely insane.... Thanks to you, I can be satisfied to see the exasperated expressions of those songong nobles..... You really know how to roast people, yeah.... You're a good Provocator".
Emilia looked so satisfied that she even praised Dylan's brazen speech this morning. He even praised Dylan as a good provocateur.
"Indeed, who's that guy you mean, huh?...... I'm not a provocateur...... I'm just expressing what's on my mind".
"And your mind represents all of us".
Dylan only said what he had in mind during the speech. But, it instead represented the feelings of Awin and the others.
"What the hell, you hate the nobility".
""""""BANGETTE!!!!"""""".
"..... Hou.....".
Out of curiosity Dylan asked his classmates, and instantly got a quick answer from his new friends.
"Just because they're Beautiful and Handsome, they think they can spread charm as good as eels".
"They've always been in a race to show off luxury goods".
"That's right..... Do they not realize, if the money they use is tax money from the people".
"They're a bunch of fools, who don't know how hard it is to make money.... YOU FANCY-SHIRTED BEGGARS!!!!".
"I think he's great, but just a whiny amateur".
"Always act like a "victim"... Though they themselves "doers" her".
"Sok, uphold justice.... But, they themselves are breaking".
"""Oh, so yes""".
Dylan, Fira and Ritzia could only be speechless and shocked to hear Awin, Arnold, Garcia, Ornest, Emilia, and Olivia expressing her annoyance to the nobles.
"Btw, you know.... This morning there was an uproar in Class A".
"What excitement? Al".
Suddenly Arnold started talking about a furore that happened to Class A after the welcoming ceremony. Arnold's words of success got everyone interested in listening. That was evident with Olivia who immediately asked.
"You know a girl named Fermina?".
Everyone nodded as a sign of knowing who Al meant. Except for Filaret who doesn't know who the girl is.
"He made a fuss with his own older sister Claudia.... Because suddenly his fiancee named Dirk fou Watson disappeared somewhere..... He accuses Claudia of being the one responsible for Dirk's disappearance".
While everyone was curious, Dylan became the only one who had goosebumps after hearing that.
The reason, Dylan knows very well what really happened to Dirk who suddenly disappeared.
"Eh? Is it possible?.... Who is Dirk?.... I think I've heard that name?"
Meanwhile, Filaret raised one of her eyebrows because she did not know who the person her friends were referring to was. Realizing that, Olivia immediately opened her voice.
"That's loh, Fira..... The man who fought with Dylan during the magic test".
".... Oh, that jerk in the face, yeah...... I remember now".
After a while, Filaret was reminded of a male figure who was beaten all out unilaterally by Dylan.
"But who is Fermina?".
"That Vermina, the girl I told you about, is Fira.... The time you forgot?".
"Ah.... That is, the rese girl who dared to yell at Nii-san, yes.... I see, I get it".
Filaret, who did not know who Fermina was, recalled that she was the girl Dylan had told her about.
"Accusing his own brother as the cause of Dirk's disappearance? Doesn't that make no sense?".
"Here he turned again no work, until his brother's accusation is strange".
Instantly, everyone but immediately turned their eyes to Filaret and Dylan.
"Eh? Why are you looking at us?".
"Ethto.... Dylan, Fira's..... Don't tell me, you don't know anything?".
Both of them raised their eyebrows. Realizing that, Ritzia decided to tell a little story.
"So, actually Fermina and Dirk are a couple of fiancees..... Initially, Dirk submitted an engagement proposal to Claudia..... But, somehow the Ritzburg Marquis instead replaced Claudia with Fermina as Dirk's fiancee".
"Eh? How come? Isn't that a proposal for Claudia, huh? Why did she become Fermina?".
The surprised Filaret spontaneously asked. Ritzia soon continued her story.
"That's because Marquis Ritzburg loved Fermina more than Claudia.... And because there's a political advantage if his daughter is engaged to the Watson family.... Hence, he replaced Claudia with Fermina".
"Oh....".
"On the one hand Fermina has long been in love with Dirk since they first met.... I'm sure he begged Mr. Ritzburg himself to be Dirk's fiancee rather than Claudia..... And it was of course approved by both Dirk's parents..... Because they think Claudia or Fermina would be the same".
"Hmmm...".
"But, it seems that Dirk doesn't like Fermina at all...... All of that was due to his haughty attitude and he who was often jealous with other girls.... Especially with Claudia, her own sister".
As Filaret grew curious, on one side Dylan had understood the rest of the Ritzia story.
"Actually, Dirk was harboring feelings with Claudia.... Fermina who knew that felt unacceptable and constantly bothered him..... Even to the degree that he did not hesitate to hurt Claudia".
"really?..... Isn't that too much? It should be Claudia reporting to her father immediately".
Heard the statement of Filaret. Both Ritzia, Olivia and Emilia shook their heads. The story was continued by Olivia.
"Claudia did.... But, his father acted as if nothing had happened..... In fact, his elder brother Virgil was also unable to do anything".
"Eh? How can?".
"It's just a rumor, anyway..... Apparently, Fermina was planning to get rid of Claudia from the Ritzburg family..... And, wanting to be the only Princess the Marquis of Ritzburg had and loved..... Hence, as soon as he entered the Ritzburg residence.... He began to seek the attention of the Marquis..... And it proved to be a success, now the existence of Claudia is hardly considered to exist by her father..... And her brother was threatened while still caring about Claudia".
"so yeah".
Filaret immediately sat still a thousand languages. The story of what Claudia experienced was not much different from her. In his heart, Filaret knew the pain of being ignored by his own family.
(I didn't expect there would be such a story about Claudia's character..... Now it's starting to make sense why Claudia's abuse case isn't being taken seriously in her game..... That's because, his father knew that Dirk was the culprit.... If the case continues, it will likely worsen the relationship between the Marquis of Ritzburg and the House of Duke Watson....... At worst, if Fermina and Dirk's engagement is off..... The Ritzburgs will take heavy losses..... Unlike his brother, who fought for the fate of his sister......... His father did not report or process the case...... Prefer "reputation" over "mental...... Cih, you rancid bastard).
Based on the story of Ritzia and Olivia, now Dylan knows another reason why Claudia's abuse case in the game is not clear.
As the day was getting late, they immediately ended the party and returned to their respective dorms to rest.
(--------------)
Tomorrow morning.
Alex was walking in the school corridor alone, from which route he took it seemed like he was walking towards 1-S class.
But, his gaze was distracted by the figure of a navy blue-haired man who was standing in front of him with a wide smile.
"Yahoooo's..... Alex-kun, good morning!!!!".
Not answering, Alex immediately gave a look of disdain towards Frey who greeted him with a cheerful smile.
"...... What do you want?..... Silencing me in the morning, that's not your "goal" right?".
"Hehehe..... You know me, yeah".
Alex grew even more disgusted as Frey smiled at him
"Sad.... So, what do you want?".
"Ah. About that......".
With a serious tone and expression, Frey immediately said what his goal was. Hearing that, Alex nodded her head in agreement, though she scratched her back head.
(----------------)
The 1-S class.
Dylan and his friends, we're waiting. This second day, they will start the lesson and find out who will be their homeroom teacher.
Shortly after, Alex enters class S and stands in front of a desk for the teacher in the middle of the room. After breathing out, he spoke.
"Hi, hi, hi..... Class S students please pay attention...... My name is Alexander von Geogrovic, who will be your homeroom teacher.... Or is that what I want to say".
Alex paused for a moment while scratching his head and then continued his words.
"On the orders of the head of the Academy, Mr. Leon.... I was transferred to another class.... So, the one who replaced me was..... Him".
A man entered the classroom, seeing the figure of the man all shocked, because that person would be the guardian of class 1-S.
"Yahoo's...... How's everything going?".
Frey casually gave a wide smile as he looked at all the students. Don't want to waste time Alex immediately went to another class.
But, when he crossed Frey he suddenly said something strange.
"Hey, Frey..... Don't teach them how to skin a man alive".
Instantly everyone immediately shivered as soon as they heard what Alex said. However, Frey ignored that and started talking to all 1-S students.
"Hi, everybody... Introduce my name Frey de Highland, just call me Frey-sensei..... As Alex said, I will be your homeroom teacher for as long as you are in this Academy...... And so that we get closer, then let me pass you on one by one..... All right, let's get started.... Dylan Van Arcadia's....".
"God".
"Awin de Asford".
"God".
"The Ritzia Sera Ingrid".
"God".
"Filaret of Arcadia".
"God".
"Sylvia fou Rachael".
"God".
"Ornest Fin Ames".
"God".
"Garcia de Housepour".
"God".
"Arnold Lakes Volgograd".
"God".
"Emilia fou Reinfield".
"God".
"And the last one, Olivia von Tringel".
"God".
Frey smiled after learning no students were absent. Then he was about to start his lesson session.
"First of all, let's start today's lesson".
But he changed his argument.
"Well, yeah,.... Actually that's not what I wanted to say. But, uh,..... First of all I want to explain how this school provides value..... I will give these "objects" to each of you".
Frey immediately showed me a student ID card written in 2 stars. Seeing that, everything became very astonished.
"Suppose this, as a form of your privilege in this Academy..... Starting tomorrow, once a week. We'll check how many stars you have...... The way to get a lot of stars is to get good grades in almost any subject..... And of course the opposite..... How many stars you have will determine your ranking in this Academy.... But.... If you have less than ten stars or at worst it's zero..... Be prepared to be expelled from the Academy..... Of course, there is a "special right" for those who manage to collect the most stars....... All right, now I'll call one by one".
Frey immediately called and gave each star a total of 2 in the card.
"Well, from now on.... You'll all be competing to collect the most stars..... But the most you have to remember is..... Your progress in this Academy, it all depends on yourself....... In essence, you all have to do your best to earn stars.... That's all from me".
After obtaining the star, Dylan noticed the cards he received and began to think about this scoring system.
(The way this value system works is pretty good too..... With this system, nobles who are arrogant will be very confused.... Because they do not get special treatment in the assessment).
With this explanation, Dylan's school life begins at the Estonian Academy.
(---------------)
Lunch break.
Dylan was enjoying a sandwich made by Sonia in the Academy garden all by himself.
While Filaret was in the Academy cafeteria because she was very curious to try the popular menu that was there with Emilia and Olivia.
While enjoying lunch, suddenly a girl dressed as a waiter came over to him.
"You're Dylan?".
"Yes, it's me".
"Miss, I'd like to meet you..... Can you come with me?".
"alright".
Without further ado Dylan immediately stood up and followed the waiter from behind.
Why could Dylan easily agree to the waiter's request?
Actually, Dylan already knew who Miss was meant by this servant. And he himself did want to chat with that person.
During the trip, Dylan did not take his eyes off the waiter in front of him. Not because he was interested, but there was something uncomfortable that he felt.
Walking for quite a long time, they finally reached the intended place which was the Academy library.
(Choosing the Library as a meeting place, huh? I admit it's a good choice, because there's less chance of anyone eavesdropping on our conversation).
Entering the library, there was already a white-haired girl sitting at the table while reading a book.
Aware, there will be Dylan and the waiter who brought him. The girl turned her head and gave instructions for the maid to leave the two of them immediately.
While Dylan himself directly sat on the chair without waiting for the cue from the person. A silence ensued between them, until the girl finally began the conversation.
"I'm sorry for forcing you here just to see me".
The first word that came out of the girl's mouth was an apology to Dylan who had already arbitrarily forced her to meet.
"Look off..... I myself want to... Well, chat with you for a second".
Despite the girl's expectations, Dylan did not dispute the girl's actions towards him.
"So, uh,..... Can we get straight to the heart of the conversation, Crown Princess Royal Rachael.... Sylvia fou Rachael's".
Hearing her name mentioned, Sylvia smiled as a form of pleasure as she did not have to bother introducing herself and Dylan knew what the purpose of their meeting was.
