Academy’s Second Seat

“Are you okay, Princess? You are so beautiful today.”

sweet words.

“Princess, that you have already dealt with magic to this extent… it seems that the princess is the treasure of the Empire!”

Tongue coated with honey.

“Princess, I heard that you took the second seat of the academy. After all, like a princess, you’ve already achieved your grades like that, so you’ll be able to take the top spot soon.”

But, more than anyone else, they want me to go down.

The place where such people exist is the Imperial Palace.

They always spit sweet words like candy with a smile on their faces, but they hide a knife behind them.

They are always ready to stab me if I fall.

So I shouldn’t have made a mistake.

You always had to have a plan and be prepared for everything.

And wearing the mask of laughter, I also have to sharpen my knife.

That way, when you fall, you can hit the opponent’s sword.

“······ I will change into school uniforms soon.”

‘Oh?’

It was doubtful at first.

“I hope you enjoy your youth.”

‘··········.’

‘Rudy Astria’.

He was someone I had been paying attention to before I entered the academy.

The second son of the Duke of Astria, who is in charge of an axis of the empire.

But from what he heard, there was no one to worry about.

There were rumors that he was an abandoned child from the Astrian family.

When I listened to the story told by the Astrian spy whom I had planted, I knew that the rumor was true.

Immature, arrogant, and authoritarian.

Like the Astrian family, he has excellent magical talent, but his talent is also inferior compared to his eldest son.

To summarize, he was the second son with a sense of inferiority.

Obsessed with inferiority complex, they are the best prey to prey on in the social world.

Because the most important thing in the social world was to filter out the compliments of others and understand their intentions.

Those with a sense of inferiority were hungry for praise, so they were only eaten by the social world.

But who is this person in front of me?

the corners of the lips rise

A long time.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a situation where my plans went completely off the beaten path.

This person is not such an inferiority complex.

Rather, he seems like a dry person who doesn’t seem interested in those around him.

He slaughtered all who approached him.

It is understandable that the insects that were trying to pick up the falling crumbs were thrown away, but even the princess, myself, pushed me away.

It wasn’t flattering, it wasn’t checking, it was just pushing it away.

Even if I went to meet him in person, he was too businesslike, and he ignored me even if he talked about this and that in the seat next to him.

And speaking, a great opportunity to show yourself.

That speech also ended in vain.

What the hell are you doing?

Have you ever been wearing a mask within your family?

The ‘Rudi Astria’ he had heard of and the ‘Rudi Astria’ he was seeing now were very different people.

The arrogant and aristocratic attitude was true to some extent, but it was different from saying that he was a lump of inferiority or an abandoned child of the Astrian family.

Rather, he wondered if his spy in the Astrian family was a traitor.

However, the spy could not betray him so easily.

If you betray, you cannot guarantee your life or even the safety of your family.

If you think about the other reasons Rudy Astria changed…

“Did you take off your mask?”

It can be predicted that he wore the mask of the ignorant second son in the snowy peacock family and took the mask off here.

Then there is so much to think about.

Why did you act, and why did you take off your mask?

“It’s fun…”

I met a big variable in the academy, which I thought was only for kids.

But she smiled.

The current situation was just a play for her.

He was out of it now, but he saw it as a toy that would soon fall into his grasp.

Even in the imperial court full of serpents, there was no way these youngsters could deal with him.

With that in mind, she walked to her house.

“I feel bad, why are you doing this?”

Princess Li looked at her with interest and then parted without saying a word.

The princess who looked at me with such interest was definitely attractive, but it seemed as if she was looking inside me, and just being with me made my stomach feel nauseous.

It seemed to have flowed differently from the love affair, but it wasn’t a big problem.

Anyway, this is a story that can be changed.

An action that changes the image of ‘Rudi Astria’, which is seen as unfavorable.

It is a necessary action in order not to die.

Because one of the causes of death of ‘Rudy Astria’ was the situation in which everyone in the academy turned into enemies.

I also liked the speech he gave on the podium.

One of the things I hated the most when I was a student was listening to the teachings of the principal and teachers.

Just ‘take care of your health.’, ‘Study hard.’ These are simple words such as, but the words of Hunhwa that are exaggerated a lot just annoyed me.

How nice it would be to spit out this short spit and end it.

Maybe other students liked it too.

If I had been a student under the podium, I would have given such a short speech and gave a standing ovation.

“For now, that’s not the problem.”

If I had paid more attention to that part anyway, there was nothing I could do now.

What I had to do now was my growth.

‘Status window’

「Name: Rudy Astria

Age: 17

ability:

Beginner Magic: LV 6

Fire attribute magic: LV 5

Wind attribute magic: LV 3

Swordsmanship: LV 2

Spirit Skill: LV 2」

The window I saw in the game appeared in front of my eyes.

It was the first act I did after realizing that I was possessed.

status window.

Fortunately, the status window came out normally, and I was able to find out about myself.

When I first looked at the status window, I took a breath when I saw the name of ‘Rudi Astria’, but the fact that the beginner’s magic was level 6 made me breathe a sigh of relief.

The main character has a beginner magic level of 1 when he first starts the game.

However, this guy didn’t even enter the school, but his magic level was 6.

A guy with stats like cheating from the start.

I also wondered how the main character defeated such a guy.

Of course, it was good news for me…

However, even with these deceptive abilities, you may not be able to occupy the second place.

The academy’s subjects include practical classes that teach magical abilities, but there are also classes that teach theory.

No matter how talented you are, if you don’t get good grades in theory classes, it means nothing.

I went through the luggage the driver had left and took out the books.

[Magic Fundamentals Theory].

[Elementalism].

[Imperial History].

and many other books.

“ha······.”

When I saw thick books, my head hurt already.

But studying was the only way to live.

Anyway, as long as you study well, you already know what will happen with other things related to the academy.

I ripped a page out of my notebook and wrote it down with a pen.

-If you don’t study, you die.

It was my promise.

It just didn’t feel like an ordinary student’s promise.

Because if you don’t study, you can really die.

It was just the facts.

Never be lazy

I opened the book on the basic theory of magic.

From the day of the entrance ceremony, I started studying.

@

next day.

I grabbed the book and headed to the classroom.

The teaching method of the Liberia Academy was similar to that of a university.

There was no such thing as morning inquiry like in high school, and it was a way to apply for and listen to the classes you wanted.

Instead, in the first year, the academy plans the timetable directly.

This timetable is based on students’ entrance exams.

In the case of magic practice, if a student with low ability and an excellent student listen together, it is too difficult to progress, so classes are divided according to ability.

In the case of exams, there was no consideration for evaluation because the same exam was taken.

According to the academy’s schedule, my first class was Basic Magic Theory.

In the case of theory, there is also a divided class, but it was not divided by skill, but just because the number of people was large.

On the way to the classroom, I saw someone who caught my eye.

Unlike the colorful hair of the characters, the familiar black hair.

The main character of this game was ‘Evan’.

A guy who overcame all kinds of trials and took the top spot in the academy only with hard work.

It was the character that I empathized with and saw.

It was a very welcome feeling.

However, you shouldn’t approach this guy friendly.

If he thinks of me as an enemy, he will try harder to outrun me.

Come to think of it, in this first class, several characters will listen together.

Evan entered the classroom first, then I followed.

“Then let’s start class.”

The class started with the words of the professor standing in front of them.

“My name is Professor George Maguire, who is in charge of the basic theory of magic. Today is also the first day of class, so I’ll start by introducing myself.”

self-introduction time.

I really hate it.

It was originally an event that took place to introduce the characters in the game.

But in reality, this was a shameful situation.

How could anyone prepare a proper self-introduction like a game or a novel?

“Let me introduce you in turn, starting with Rudy, who is the head of the entrance exam.”

A situation I’ve seen several times.

I watched this scene every day to see all the endings of the game.

There was no way to skip the start event anyway.

And there was something important about this event.

It was the first time Evan saw me as unfavorable.

I sighed inwardly.

In order for Evan to regard me as unfavorable, he has to spit out the lines that Rudy Astria had spit out.

Even ignoring other circumstances, it was important for the stories related to Evan to proceed as the original story.

In the beginning, you have to win Evan’s dislike.

Of course, this unfavorable feeling will have to be corrected later, but for now, it was right to act according to the truth.

Evan’s initial driving force is his dislike for ‘Rudy Astria’.

Evan, feeling unfavorable to ‘Rudi Astria’, will try to defeat him.

The more Evan tries, the faster he grows, and then the early stories can be solved easily.

But… it was so embarrassing.

You have to spit out the lines that you would say in a game.

It’s also a villain or two lines of dislike to spit out.

It’s better to spit out the main character’s wonderful lines.

Those lines are shrunken enough, but aren’t they cool?

I had a toothache, but I had to do it to survive.

okay. Such shame must be endured.

To survive.

I got up and took an arrogant posture.

“I am Rudy Astria of the Duke of Astria. Dirty and insignificant guys. Be grateful just to breathe in the same space.”

Metabolism as if he had a middle school disease.

I think I’ll have to take out even a black flame dragon from my right hand.

Inwardly, I wanted to rip my hair out with a sense of shame, but I did not release my arrogant attitude.

When I looked around, there were people who frowned and there were people who stared at me.

From the first class, he turned his friends into enemies.

We had to change this image, but we had no choice in the beginning.

Especially in front of Evan…

“Oh yeah. next student.”

The professor also listened to me and proceeded with trembling.

After hearing that, I was able to sit down.

If I had stood for just a few more seconds, I would have died of shame…

It’s an action I’m doing to live, but I thought it might make me die.

“Oh yep. My name is Luna Railer from the Viscount Railer family! I am lacking a lot, but please take care of me!”

I was alone in panic at what I said, and when I heard the name ‘Luna Railer’, I woke up.

‘Luna Railer’.

This guy was also the main heroine of the game like Princess Li.

The main heroine, but the most difficult to capture.

And he’s the guy I need for my plans.
