It says "Be Glorious".
The words were engraved under the school emblem hanging near the wall, slightly upwards from the sofa they were sitting on.
The emblem of the prisai with carvings and bright laurel leaves around it is a symbol of the Academy of Nobles Caelum Flumen.
This was the main room prepared for the girls.
This modern building does not have simple characteristics like school dormitories in general. This building is very luxurious and classy.
This obviously expensive dormitory is home to five girls.
They are an elite group, the best students among the 200 students who attend this school.
Students and teachers called them "Chandeliers "with great respect and fear. They are the five people closest to the true meaning of the school's purpose, which is 'glory'.
There were four girls sitting around the table. And they all sat down while holding the cup filled with freshly prepared tea in front of them.
"Is Anna not a little late than usual?"
One of them was a girl whose hair was pulled to the side. His eyes were sharp, and his body looked sturdy as well as graceful. Although just lying on the couch, does not reduce the spirit that emanates from him.
Lee Hui-ho lightly waved his hand on the table to control the information screen.
He wore a special contact lens-shaped reality device that he used to access augmented reality and view certain information.
It was 11 p.m.
The room temperature regulator is optimal and there is enough light, making it easy to forget that it is completely dark outside.
Contrary to elite schools in other parts of the continent, these schools have connections to various companies that have provided the latest experimental technologies.
For Hui-ho, who was born in a rural area without the internet, this is a real science fiction experience for him.
"Anna is the symbol of Chandelier, so Hui-ho can't blame her if she leaves. He has more than just muscle strength."
"Yes, yes, I'm not good at complicated things."
The second girl, Elsa Brandenburg, was the youngest among the Chandeliers. Its small body, yet firm posture and lack of expression made it look like a thin blade.
His clear, onyx-like eyes never budged. But he is not a robot. He cried and laughed like everyone else, but the fact was that no one else had ever seen him rolling around laughing.
Anna Silenziosa, who left with Adella Kristi, should have returned before dinner. Something seems to be holding him back.
Hui-ho yawns and crosses his legs. He enjoys relaxation like never before. With Anna being so well-mannered, she even held back and often bowed before her, so this was a rare opportunity for Hui-ho to relax.
Hui-ho who can't handle the formalities, suddenly someone hits his knee with a folding fan.
"'Be Noble'"
It was the third girl, Nanbu Sayuri who looked like a Japanese doll.
His face is very impressive traditional Japanese, but it is difficult to say, whether kimono or yukata clothes will suit him. Because he has a chest that is quite 'difficult' for traditional Japanese clothing.
"Be a noble person and be disciplined at all times. Do you remember?"
"... Anna and Prof aren't here, are you? Did you catch Anna?"
"Nobody needs to be 'transmitted'. I'm a person who can't tolerate anyone not doing what they have to do."
"For tonight alone let's not have to think about it, shall we? Hui-ho doesn't like being formal."
The fourth girl, the blonde-haired Charlotte Mountbatten, asked Sayuri to act more relaxed.
His face was round, unlike that of Englishmen in general. The small posture but has long legs always looks 'relex'.
"I can't do that. Silenziosa-san's absence even gives more reason to behave properly. Chandelier's reputation would be tarnished with such an attitude."
"Hui-ho is always pretending. The path of being a noble was very far for him. It's such a shame."
"Shut up! Don't go on people's business."
"After that, let's enjoy the tea party."
"Mountbatten-san, you are spoiling them too much..."
No matter how resolute Sayuri was, this was clearly her time to relax. The only reason they could hold a late-night tea party was because the famous fifth girl, Anna, was nowhere to be.
It's past time to turn off the lights and go back to their respective rooms.
"This self is on Anna's side. Likely to complain about Hui-ho's behavior if Anna comes home later."
"It's past the child's bedtime, are you sure you want to wait for Anna to come home?"
"There's still tomorrow."
"Well, if you complain!"
Slowly Elsa approached Hui-ho.
"Tonight, this self will ignore the sins of Hui-ho only with this Gianduja."
Nimbly Elsa takes one of Hui-ho's sweets and puts it in her mouth. He's been after the sweets from earlier. Since her sweets were gone, even before Charlotte had prepared the tea, she had eaten the sweets.
"Hmmm...It's sweet. and sweet."
Gianduja is a mixture of chocolate and thirty percent hazelnut paste, which is found in Turin, Italy. Can be consumed in the form of bars or as a chocolate filling. Gianduja is basically chocolate stretched with hazelnut jam. That said, Gianduja was created when there was a dearth of chocolate when the country was under the rule of Napoleon.
"Sweeties are the only thing that makes you act fast, huh?!"
"By the way, I heard an interesting rumor."
Sayuri hid her mouth with her folding fan and looked towards her noisy companions.
His expression made everyone curious. They looked at him with interest.
"What rumors?"
"You mean the rumor about 'that'?"
"So only Lee Hui-ho didn't know that. It's pathetic."
"Huh? Seriously?! How can?! Hey, Charlotte, what's the rumor?! What rumors?"
"There's a transfer student again. And what's more, someone who moves here is a Radiance."
"What?! A Radiance?!"
The information Charlotte gave made Sayuri who started the topic come by surprise.
"Didn't Sayuri know?"
"Only a small part. I never thought it turned out to be Radiance."
"This self actually did not know about that Radiance either. Charlotte, how sure are you of that?"
Their facial expressions turned tense.
A new Radiance. That information means a lot to them.
"It's just a rumor. But according to what I heard also this transfer student....."
