The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 130: The One to Watch Out for
A few days later.
"So you finally decided to join Elevrad huh?" asked Miss Karina.
"Yes, lady" I replied.
I'm currently in the academy head's room with Miss Karina. The reason I'm here is because I was previously ordered by senior Gretta to deliver some of the documents that Elevrad had already completed to the head of the Academy.
"So what did you think after you joined Elevrad ? Is it tiring?" asked Miss Karina.
"I can't say that joining Elevrad is exhausting because I've only been a few days. Besides, for a junior like me, the tasks I have to do are just a few," I said.
"Well, you're right, too" said Miss Karina.
"But joining Elevrad allowed me to gain new experiences, later I was able to interact with important figures in this country. And again all the seniors in Elevrad were very kind to me who was his junior, arguably there was no discrimination from them against me. Though most of the members of Elevrad were nobles but they still treated me well" I said.
"It's possible that they did that because of the rules in this academy and Elevrad is an organization in this academy that has to enforce the rules in this academy. It is impossible for them to break the rules themselves by discriminating against others when they are members of the law enforcement?" asked Miss Karina.
"Yes, you have a point, miss," I said.
Indeed they look good on the outside, it could be that they have their own dislike in their heart. So far I have found no dislike of me from the other members of Elevrad when reading their minds. But I still have to be careful about it.
"I'm glad that you joined Elevrad and decided to help the academy with your participation as a member of Elevrad. But you have to be careful, Rid. You didn't forget about the possibilities my sister talked about before?" asked Miss Karina.
"About the possibility that I will be killed so that Irene again participates in ~Matchmaking Battle~ ?," I asked.
"Right, and it was likely that it would be done by one of the other three dukes besides Duke San Lucia. In Elevrad, there were sons of the three dukes, Enzo, who was the son of Duke San Angela, Amelia is the daughter of Duke San Quentine and is also the opponent Irene will face in ~Matchmaking Battle~ and Florian who is the son of Duke San Minerva and also vice-chairman of Elevrad at present. Not to forget also the current chairman of Elevrad, Vyn, he is the nephew of Duke San Quentine and cousin of Amelia. You must be careful and watchful of those I mention. Who knows, they'll send information about you to their father. And they can also set you up on their father's orders, too,"
"The possibilities that my brother talked about before are not necessarily true, but also mean not necessarily wrong. So it never hurts to be vigilant?" said Miss Karina.
"You don't need to worry, miss, because I've considered it before I decided to join Elevrad. I thank you for reminding me again" I said.
"All right, then you can go. Surely you still have other tasks that you have to complete right?" said Miss Karina.
"Then let me leave first, miss," I said.
"Yes, don't forget to always be vigilant, Rid," said Miss Karina.
"Ready, miss," I said.
Then I also left the academy head room. After exiting the academy's headroom, I walked down the hallway on that floor to head for the stairs.
"Without being reminded by Ms. Karina, I always remember the possibilities Her Majesty spoke of. One of the reasons I joined Elevrad was to look for evidence of those possibilities. Elevrad is the only organization in the academy. And the sons and daughters of the dukes also joined Elevrad. With me joining Elevrad, I can get information secretly from the sons and daughters of the dukes and watch their movements at close range" I thought.

After I joined Elevrad, every day of the study day, I always went to the Elevrad building after the daily match. I felt bad for Noa and Kotaro for having to leave them both because we had to do our duties in Elevrad. Indeed, ever since I and the others joined Elevrad, our time with us when we returned home to study was reduced. But we still get together on holidays and when there is no duty in Elevrad on holidays.
At Elevrad, I used to just help out with some paperwork and get it done. If there's no paperwork I have to work with, I usually patrol around the academy looking for rule breakers. Sometimes I find some offenders and have to discipline them myself. Some immediately stop doing activities that violate the rules when I show my Elevrad Brooch and some even challenge back and sometimes directly attack me even though I have shown my Brooch. Of course I did not stay silent in such a situation and directly attacked them back. Fortunately as a member of Elevrad, I was allowed to use violence when cracking down on violators. After cracking down on the offenders, I also did not forget that I reported about them to the academy for punishment.

Time passed and it was not felt that it was nearing the end of March, which meant that the third exam would soon begin. And as always when we approach the exam, we continue to do the first-year training. Rather than being referred to as 'lesson', it may be more precisely when it is said to be 'own-self training'. Because indeed when using a training ground to learn, we usually do the exercise more often alone or with our friends. Although sometimes we are also taught a new technique or ability by Mr. Alan.
In the meantime, I'm currently training for a match with Charles and Chloe. Charles continued to attack me from close range while Chloe attacked me from a distance. Every time Chloe shoots that fire arrow, I always deflect the arrow with my sword and there I feel a difference from the arrow that Chloe is glued to compared to the previous match practice.
"It seems like you've always been practicing earnestly huh, Chloe. I can feel that the fire arrow you fired was stronger than the previous one" I said.
"That's how you feel, Rid," said Chloe.
"No matter how much we both practice fighting against him. It seems impossible to defeat, Rid," said Charles.
"You're right, brother. Even if we both use our full strength, there's no way we can beat him" Chloe said.
"Why did you two become obsessed with defeating me ? it's not your goal to practice sparring to practice coordination between the two of you?" I asked.
"Well, that's true, but if we beat you, doesn't it mean that our coordination is good?" asked Charles.
"It makes sense too" I said.
Then the training session ended because soon the learning on this day will be finished.

When Mr. Alan wanted to close the lesson today, a disciple asked Mr. Alan.
"Sir Alan, in a week we will take the third exam, is there not a little leak about what we have to do in the third exam?" asked the student.
"Hmmm right too, I almost forgot. For this third exam it seems like it will be easy for those of you who have studied and practiced so far. Because the third exam will be similar to the first exam" said Mr. Alan.
"Similar to the first exam ?,"
"Are we going to fight those wooden dolls again ?,"
"If you fight those wooden puppets again, I will definitely easily finish it. Although I had trouble passing the first exam before, but now it is different" said the other students.
"I said similar to the first exam does not mean the type of exam will be the same. It was possible that something similar was one of the elements in the test that was similar to the first exam. Guess yourself and don't forget to prepare yourself,"
"Because today's learning is over, then I'll take my leave first. See you, everyone" said Mr. Alan.
"See you, sir," said all of us.
Then Mr. Alan left the training ground.
"About what we're going to do in the third test this time. According to Mr. Alan, the third exam was the same as the first exam. It looks like this test will be individual again and we are told to fight something again" Charles said.
"Yes, I think so," I said.
"By the way, Rid. Are you going to be serious about finishing the exam this time?," asked Noa.
"Yes, why is it?" I asked.
"When your points have reached 30,000 points more but you will still be serious in completing this exam ? Why don't you relax, if you don't get any points you still have a safe point to climb the second year" said Noa.
"I won't relax even though my points have already reached 150,000 points. Relaxing is not my style" I said.
"But seeing your points getting bigger nominal makes me insecure" said Noa.
I laughed at Noa's words

Then a week passed and today, the third test began.
