Academy’s Second Seat

The meaning of being a senior at the Liberia Academy is great.

Because the head of that grade signifies the strongest at that age in the Empire.

The academy is also well aware of this meaning, so they did not spare an investment in the senior.

The largest room in the dormitory was given as a single room, and a single study room was provided.

It seemed to show the other students that the top and the lower grades were different.

Of course, the second and lower ranks treated students with lower grades discriminatory, but they did not treat them as differently as the seniors.

“Hmm······.”

I went into the dormitory room provided.

At first, he was almost in admiration, but he barely uttered a pitiful sound.

My room used by the Duke of Astria was also very large, but this room was bigger than that of the main house.

It was so big that I thought the room would be too cold if I used it alone.

As I was looking around the room, the driver who was carrying my luggage behind me put my luggage in one corner of the room and stood up in the other side of the room.

You’re not standing there, are you standing like that?

I’ll have to go back to my family after the entrance ceremony anyway, so I can send it in advance.

“Go back to the Iman family.”

When I said this, the knight made a slightly startled face.

“Are you from the family…?”

“Yeah, there’s nothing else to do.”

As I spoke, the knight thought for a moment and bowed his head to me.

“Knight Belium, let’s go back to the family.”

“Yes, yes.”

I motioned for the knight to leave.

The knight who greeted me like that opened the door and tried to go outside.

However, the knight could not go out and bowed his back.

“I see you, the star of the empire, the First Princess.”

A blonde woman stood in front of the door.

A woman with fair skin and golden hair.

The woman gently knocked on the knight’s door with a graceful gesture.

“Can I come in?”

Knocking with a bewitching smile.

That woman is something I know well.

One of the main heroines of ‘Academy’s Chief Wizard’ is ‘Rie von Listonia’, the 1st Princess of the Empire.

If I had a nickname called Lee In-ja in my later years, Rie was the guy who was always in third place.

Admission was second-class, but I was behind me and the main character, and I maintained 3rd place.

However, he was the one who had the greatest influence on the academy.

The charisma that usually comes out when necessary, wearing a smile that can’t be understood inside, always overwhelms the crowd.

Being a being with such charisma, there were always people around her, and the princess used such people to exert her influence.

But was there a story about the princess coming to me?

No matter how much I say that I am the character of this game, I did not know the whole story behind the scenes.

As the story progresses from the main character’s point of view, it is impossible to know what is happening outside of the main character’s eyes.

“Meet the First Princess of the Empire.”

I first greeted the princess with calm manners.

“You don’t have to say goodbye like that. You are the same student here, right?”

The princess answered with a smile on her lips and skillfully.

The princess was right.

In the Liberia Academy, it was the school rule that everyone was equal, regardless of their status.

Even so, this did not mean that there were no conflicts due to differences in status.

Of course, all such conflicts are broken when the protagonist, who is a commoner, takes the lead…

“All right. But why did you suddenly come here?”

“I came here to say hello, a classmate you will see again and again.”

That’s what I said, but it wouldn’t be for such a frivolous reason.

The princess is not the kind of person who wanders around without thinking like that.

A person who thoroughly plans and envisions everything cannot move so lightly.

And first of all, Rie hates the Astrian family very much.

The reason Lie came to this academy was to strengthen the emperor’s power.

After creating his own faction, he intends to treat them as his servants in the imperial family.

The academy was also a place of learning, but it was also a society.

Just going there can make your side prosperous.

‘Rudi Astria’ is a stumbling block for Li, who came to create a faction.

The Astrian family is the duke’s family with the greatest power outside the imperial family.

In addition, ‘Rudi Astria’ tried to form a faction centering on herself, but she had no choice but to collide with the princess.

Those things are a later story, so it has nothing to do with now.

However, the princess showed a rejection of ‘Rudi Astria’ from the beginning of the game.

In front of him, he was normal, but behind him, I could see him wrinkling his face several times.

Looking at those scenes, it was clear that the princess hated ‘Rudi Astria’ even before she came to the academy.

But why did you come to find someone you don’t like?

“It’s okay, tell me why you came.”

“Oh, I came here because I really wanted to get to know you. Do you doubt my sincerity?”

It may have been rude to say, but Princess Li was smiling as if it was funny.

I’ve asked so far, but seeing such a reaction, it seems like I’ve just come to explore.

I’m used to seeing her in the game for a long time, but when it comes to love affairs, it’s the first meeting between me and the princess.

“Master, I’m going to step back.”

The driver thought it was rude to keep standing at the entrance and listening to the story, so he said hello to the two of us and headed out of the room.

Princess Li looked around when she saw the article leaving the room.

“By the way, didn’t the Duke and Duchess of Astria not come?”

“Both of you were busy with work and couldn’t come.”

“Hmm… is that so?”

Princess Li took on a look of disappointment.

In my opinion, this was smoke.

The Duke of Astria is not an ordinary person, he is in charge of the axis of the empire.

If the duke had moved, there was no way the princess wouldn’t have known about it.

“Why don’t the entrance ceremony begin soon? I’ll have to change into a school uniform soon.”

It means just go out.

Continuing to talk to this guy didn’t do anything good.

He must be the one I hate the most in the academy, so I was lucky if he didn’t dig out my weaknesses.

“okay. We should go to the entrance ceremony soon.”

The princess smiled and opened the door to the room.

“See you later.”

I looked at the princess as she left the visit.

see you later?

never meet

As you go on, even if you don’t want to get involved, you’ll get hooked, but there’s no need to take it out from the beginning.

And it was not easy to meet the princess in a place where hundreds of freshmen had gathered.

@

Cherry blossoms flew and the smell of flowers enveloped the surroundings.

The warm sunlight and the fluttering petals.

The fact that it was spring touched my body.

Also, the stiff school uniform worn on the body reminds me of when I entered high school in the old days.

It was awkward, but my heart was pounding in anticipation of a new meeting.

But the situation then and now was very different.

If you don’t get it right, you could die.

And while studying was optional then, it is essential here.

If you try to enjoy youth without studying properly, you will reach the ending of death as it is.

You have to risk your life to study.

As I began to feel that kind of pressure, my excitement subsided.

I walked among the people and went to the entrance ceremony.

Because it was an entrance ceremony, it was very crowded with parents and other people.

And as we got closer to the place, we saw people who looked like students checking their IDs and guiding the new students.

After that, people other than students were prevented from entering.

It seemed like it would be too complicated if even the parents were in the presence of the students.

I also went there to enter the entrance ceremony and presented my ID.

“Here it is.”

The black-haired girl wearing the armband accepted the ID.

“Rudy… Astria?”

The student who received my ID looked at my ID and me alternately.

“Ah… you’re the chief this time. You can go ahead over there.”

“Are you in front…?”

When I asked, the student smiled broadly and pointed his hand in front of me.

Two seats next to the VIP seats.

In one seat, the first princess I met earlier, Lie von Listoria, was sitting.

Seats reserved for the senior and second-class seats separately.

I guess that’s what the princess asked to meet later.

I had no choice but to sit next to the princess.

“Can I see you again?”

The princess greeted me warmly.

I bowed my head slightly and sat down in my seat.

Then the princess opened her mouth and began to tell many stories.

“It seems that there are a lot of outstanding people among these incoming students. Like ‘Lok Lucarion’, the son of the Northern Martyr, or ‘Serina Linsberg’, the daughter of the chief elemental of the imperial family…”

The people the princess spoke to were people I knew.

They weren’t the main characters, but they were often mentioned supporting roles.

Besides those words, I was silently listening to what he had to say.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like talking to anyone.

However, the fact that the opponent was a princess, this place was like a cushion of thorns.

He looks so light, but he’s sharpening his sword inside.

“Even though there are people who are that famous….”

The princess pointed at me with her finger.

“Actually, if it’s a celebrity, Confucius Rudy or I would be the most famous.”

Lie, who said that and smiled bitterly, was a bewitching figure that seemed to attract all men in the world.

That’s why I thought that the appearance of a person is important.

When I saw her smiling face with a great appearance, I was drawn to the princess.

Still, you shouldn’t be distracted.

It’s ‘Rie von Listonia’ to put a knife into someone’s back with a smile like that.

As I listened to the story of the princess, it seemed that the preparations for the entrance ceremony were over.

“Ah, let’s start the Riberion Academy entrance ceremony from now on.”

The entrance ceremony started with the words of the moderator holding the microphone.

@

“········· Lee Sang, it was the principal’s congratulatory remarks.”

The entrance ceremony was no different from an ordinary high school entrance ceremony.

I just listened to the boring congratulations of the guests inside and outside.

However, now that the principal’s congratulatory speech is over, it looks like the entrance ceremony is over.

“Next, there will be a thank-you note from the freshman representative.”

Freshman representative?

I had never heard of anyone being selected as the freshman representative.

By the way, isn’t this kind of representative usually made by the student with the best grades?

“Student Rudy Astria? Please come up.”

Yes. The freshman representative was me.

I spent a week frantically about the fact that I was possessed, so I did not receive such a fact.

No, it may have been delivered before I became possessed.

I had many thoughts, but for now, the first thing to do was to get over the situation.

Without panicking, I moved onto the podium.

When I got to the top of the podium, hundreds of people were staring at me.

I didn’t have a chance to speak in front of a few people with a script, but I stood in front of hundreds of people without a script.

You must not make a mistake.

I am Rudy Astria.

A noble and arrogant guy.

If such a person makes a mistake in a place like this, the image will be shattered.

I calmed my heart and opened my mouth.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the principal and distinguished guests from home and abroad for their kind words.”

The way not to make a mistake here is to not be verbose.

Rather, going short and bold is the way to avoid mistakes.

You shouldn’t say anything really arrogant though.

I’m still going to build up a bad image, but if I did it from the beginning, it would only bring me closer to a bad ending.

“Everyone has entered the academy, so please study hard and enjoy your youth.”

It was a ceremonial word that anyone could say.

After I said that, everyone looked at me with puzzled faces.

There was nothing but silence.

It was the host who broke the silence.

“Is it over?”

I spoke boldly to the moderator’s question.

Arrogant and proud like ‘Rudy Astria’.

“yes. This is the end.”

“···················Hum-Hum, I was a freshman student representative, Rudy Astria.”

The moderator seemed to be a little perplexed, but he continued the process skillfully.

I came down from the stage with the moderator’s progress.

On the way down, I met Princess Li and her eyes were slightly different.

His eyes that looked at him with interest were sharp, as if he was hunting for prey.

And unlike before, he didn’t say anything.
