The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
Vol 1 Chapter 11: Field Exercise #2

“Is what you said the truth?” Christina who had been silent asked Stead in a slow but authoritative voice. Stead subconsciously stepped back at his sharp gaze.

“Y---Yes, Nothing wrong.”

“Is so.... I understand.” Christina continued to stare at Stead for a while before releasing her gaze.

“Unless there is another testimony that contradicts his testimony, we cannot blame this testimony. I'm sorry, forget it.”

Christina muttered loudly enough that Flora could hear him, Christina did not

seeing who hit Stead, so he couldn't protect Rio from Stead's testimony mistake. Furthermore, despite the witnesses, Christina already knew they had no intention of testifying against Stead. There were no students whose families were influential enough to fight against him, some even belonged to members of his family faction. It was a permissible act to create enmity between the noble factions. Even the Academy recorded that meticulously during the class division.

“Eh!!? Christina?!” Listen to Christina's words. Flora raised a voice that blamed her.

“Flora-sama, I understand that you almost died and feel grateful to him. However, it was his own fault. You don't have to worry about such trifles.”

Not understanding what Flora was feeling. Alphonse spoke to him, his words

it shows that his words are the same as Stead's. It seems like he wants to switch the conversation.

“Na~” Flora is confused how to refute her words. Alphonse turned his gaze towards Christina.

“ Anyway, we have to escape from this forest. Is it okay if I lead?

Staying here any longer will only put the princess as well as our group in danger. It is unfortunate that we can no longer get first place, but we have to report the situation as soon as possible.”

“To be true... I will obey orders because you are the leader.” Feeling no care anymore. Christina replied in an indifferent voice.

“Please wait a minute! Are we going to leave him!?” Flora is stubborn

reviving the issue as Alphonse tries to end the talks.

“I cannot allow our princesses and group to be in danger again for the sake of that worthless poor fellow.” Alphonse declared his return to leave Rio in a resolute voice.

“J--If that's the case, maku I'll go save him!” many students are confused

when I heard Flora's words. None of them could believe what he said.

“You can't do it! Our dignity is to serve you, Flora-sama. Why

Flora-sama is worried about that ordinary person?” Alphonse revealed one of his distrusts.

Author: (brash Alphonse )

Wh why? What'd he say? Is he really serious about what he says? Alphonse

knew Flora was kind and caring, but she couldn't help but get angry at her words.

“What are you saying? We won't be in this situation if you lead us properly!”

“I--That.... I'm not saying I'm not responsible for this. I would

being responsible or leading this group in danger. However I will not let your life be threatened.” Alphonse glanced at Stead. Stead nodded and spoke to Flora.

“.......”

Flora wanted to refute him, but noticing the eyes of the surrounding students, she was powerless to reveal any more of her words. He understood that no one among this group would support him. Even though they all respected him, no one would think of his opinion. Their faces tell. Flora.

“Ta--But, he has saved me.” Flora was barely able to get her words out. He thought about Rio.

His hair was as black as a crow, so foreign in the kingdom, his handsome face, a year and more

old from him, an outcast who was considered a troubled child in the Academy. That's what Flora knows about her. He was the one who saved her and her brother from the kidnappers five years ago. She thought, Ria must hate him.

Even so, since that day. Flora wanted to thank you sincerely. Because

having helped her, Rio has been seen in various matters. He was picked up and told to fight against the Imperial Guard. Flora recalled the time she fought against the Imperial Guard. He was also present among the spectators. A boy who had saved her was in a worse condition than before for some reason. Blood tones were visible on his face and his mouth was also swollen. Maybe he received some injuries while in prison.

Flora didn't know what had happened next to her but she knew it before,

his savior was about to be put into the Royal Academy, during the audience with the King, he was shocked to see his appearance. He's enamored. She thought she could finally convey her gratitude. However, when he entered the Royal Academy a year later, he learned that Rio had been excommunicated. Moreover, contrary to his expectations, he had also become a subject of ridicule.

Flora indirectly stated to her brother to Rio, but was told to

forgot it. She did not understand why, but it seemed that Christina considered Rio to be unlucky. That was what Flora understood about Rio.

Finally, he no longer knew how to approach her. Although family members

kingdom, he has no real power. On the contrary, even if he wanted to do something for someone, his situation as a royal member prevented him from doing it. He can only rely on others. It always ends with someone else taking care of the problem for her. It would be difficult for him to live a pleasant life if he came into contact with her. It always

expressionless. However, he could feel a hint of sadness on his face. Could be

her fault? Whenever Flora caught a glimpse at the Academy, she couldn't help but think such thoughts.

Somehow his life had been saved again by him. Next, he bet

own life. For that reason, he refused to leave her. However, by utilizing Flora who was silent for a moment, the students began to die in the forest. The unbelieving Flora could only remain still in place.

“Flora, I won't force you to agree with them, but we have to go soon

before the situation gets worse. If it continues like this, we will only get a hard reprimand.” Christina called out to the Flora that was left behind.

“With one dead person. We'll just be scolded........?” Flora's voice was barely audible.

“Not all lives are equal. It makes no sense to compare our lives with

that fellow. Face it, we're members of the royal family, he's open to anyone. We can't let others shoulder the responsibility of ignoring our safety here, can we?”

“What are you saying? You chose to participate of our own accord. We understand

risk.”

Seriate.....
