Became the Hated Illegitimate Son of the Duke in Romance Fantasy

17 – Episode 17

If I were to ask how the entrance ceremony was, is there any other way to describe it other than saying it was just that?

It wasn’t special, it wasn’t great, it wasn’t grand either.

It was just an entrance ceremony at any school.

It was hard to say congratulations to the talented people, why this academy was founded, and why the emperor supports this place, and so on, from morning until lunch time approached.

Without even drinking a glass of water.

It is said that nobles and commoners are equal here.

A lie that even the teller won’t believe.

And some of the professors, knights, and wizards I introduced all had badges attached to their chests.

A badge that indicates which family you belong to.

Yes, commoners should be able to enter.

But that’s all.

You have to be content with graduating after coming in. You shouldn’t want more than that.

If you dare to show off your talent and win first place, you will be offended by the eyes of high-ranking people.

Within the story, the protagonist was almost lynched, although at least he was not a commoner.

Of course, her prince, who likes her, blocked everything from behind her, but she said it.

Equality, I try hard to explain why I put up such a slogan, but I don’t get it.

It’s just that the emperor must have been an unusual person.

Perhaps not all of the humans here will be impressed by that story and try to understand it.

Even the talking humans.

The entrance ceremony was finished after diligently explaining the history and reason for the establishment of the school, going through various procedures without omitting any of them.

And Louise, Louise.

Yes, Louise starts talking to me and her students.

“This concludes the entrance ceremony for the Imperial Academy.

Students, please go to the cafeteria and enjoy your meal.

After that, please go to the classroom of the Faculty of Hope and follow the instructions of the professors.”

After hearing that, all the students started heading towards the cafeteria.

With familiar steps, as if he had already familiarized himself with the interior of the building.

Maybe they gave out maps.

I don’t know where the road is, so I’m roughly following a procession of people, and someone comes up to me and talks to me.

“Did you say Eric?”

I turned my head to see who was calling me, and it was Misty with a smile.

She came closer to me, crossed her arms, and greeted me.

It’s burdensome, so I try to avoid it, but it sticks closer to me.

“Long time no see!”

“We’re not particularly happy to meet, aren’t we?”

“Still, there’s no other sphere around here other than you, right?”

“I’m going to eat with Xenia. Will you still follow me?”

“Is there a problem? You can talk to each other and get to know each other.

Even best friends are all strangers at first!”

Is it a flower garden in my head, or did the family instruct me to make as much contact as possible with the heir of the Breslau family?

If it weren’t for the main character, I would have thought it was the latter, but since the human with arms folded was Misty, I strongly thought it was the former.

I untied my arms and wandered around the entrance looking for Xenia.

Looking around, her eyes meet Xenia’s, and she smiles broadly, her smile waving her hand held high, giving her a sign to come over here.

Then, when I saw Misty sitting next to me, I suddenly put on a rotten expression.

What is it, maybe because the role is a villain, when I see Misty, I get angry and want to quarrel.

It wouldn’t be okay for Xenia to treat her carelessly, since she doesn’t seem to have a separate relationship with the crown prince.

“Eric, I have to go to eat, but why did you bring the person next to you?”

“Didn’t the two of you say hello last time?”

“You said you didn’t even know me!”

“After you went back to the banquet hall, we just exchanged names.”

Xenia gets stuck between me and Misty and pushes Misty away.

“I’ll take Eric with me. If you’re looking for someone to eat with, why don’t you find someone else?”

“Hmm..I came to eat with you too?”

“Uh, um, uh, me?”

Xenia, who was talking ferociously, said that Misty had come to eat with her, and she was taken aback. She didn’t know what to do.

Until just now, Xenia suddenly said that her heart was twisted and she was thinking about what to do if she slapped Misty on the cheek.

Unlike the original work, I think I grew up with a good mind, maybe because I was the person I grew up watching and hanging out with, not the Duchess.

“Can’t I?”

“No, if you want to eat with me, nothing is impossible! Can’t you just let it go for a while?

If he had been raised by the Duchess like in the original story, wouldn’t he have grown up just like that broken human?

Sometimes I see Xenia like this and think about it.

Isn’t this the reason why I fell here?

“Yeah..What the heck!

Let’s go eat together, but I’m not even stopping you!”

At that, Misty held out her hand to Xenia.

Then the two introduce themselves.

“I am Misty, Misty Roseberry.”

“I am Xenia Breslau.”

After the two introduced themselves, they avoided looking at each other, probably embarrassed.

Walking along the procession, there is a large restaurant, much larger than the banquet hall on the mansion grounds.

Like a buffet, people hold plates and order in front of the chef, and the chef starts cooking.

After receiving the freshly prepared food on a plate, we sat down and ate it, and that was it.

The three of us kept our mouths shut amid awkwardness and ate in silence.

Then she starts to talk, as if Misty couldn’t stand Misty’s frustration.

“Come to think of it, what are you guys going to learn here?

By the way, I’m going into the Faculty of Magic!”

“I’m ashamed to say something with my mouth, but I’m sorry.”

“Come to think of it, what about Eric?”

Even if you ask me like this, I have no idea what departments are here.

Xenia probably recognized her when she came here in her carriage.

“Just comfortable.”

“That is so boring. If comfort is the only reason, how about the Faculty of Magic? Even if you don’t have any special talent, you can go for alchemy or healing.”

“I’m not interested.”

It is the chosen people who make fire with their fingers, create water balls in the air, and blow wind.

People who learned from other magicians how to awaken magical power from their bodies and operate it from a young age.

“Eric, you don’t even know what is there, do you?

You know… You have to eat here and go straight to the designated classroom, right?”

“No, what the hell do you think of me?”

“Then where did you decide?”

“Trivium.”

Trivium, in other words, trivium.

It sounds a bit grandiose, but simply put, it’s grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

“Ugh, that’s a name I hate just hearing it.”

“You just hate reading text.”

“Who would like it? Everyone would prefer to go around freely and play here and there without labor.”

“There are many people whose hobby is reading.”

“I like to read novels too!”

Even after saying that, Xenia looked away in embarrassment and gently scratched her cheek with her index finger.

Meanwhile, Misty was just listening to the conversation as if she was having fun.

“I thought you didn’t like talking very much at banquet halls, but here, it’s a new look.”

“Of course, talking to Eric is much more enjoyable than talking 100 words with people you don’t know.”

“Well, just being around a close friend makes me happy!”

As Misty said, she looked at the large clock hanging in the restaurant.

Then she hardened her expression a bit and began to scoop up her meal quickly.

She is an aristocratic lady at all, with a figure that can not be thought of.

To the point where even Xenia was dumbfounded looking at it.

“I’ll go upstairs first.

Anyway, since it’s the Faculty of Magic, it seems like there’s a lot to prepare for.”

“Then I must go too.”

Xenia and Misty started walking towards their respective classrooms.

I roughly touched the remaining broccoli on my plate with a fork, but I couldn’t see where to throw it away, so I just ate it.

I looked around and if I didn’t want to eat, I was just putting the bowl on the table and moving it to another place or finishing my meal.

Thinking that I had done something wrong, I moved to the classroom too.

When I entered the classroom, it was Louise Visconti standing in front of the classroom wearing a suit just like when I was staying at the mansion.

And in front of him, there are about 40 students sitting in the classroom.

The teacher said she didn’t really pretend to know me and she sent her eyes telling me to sit down.

I feel like 20 minutes have passed.

She checked her watch once and closed the door to her classroom.

Then she starts writing her own name on her blackboard.

“Hello everyone.

It’s the first day, so I don’t have anything else to teach. Hmm..”

Then he sits in her chair, crosses her legs, rests her chin on her, and wiggles her ankles.

Humans who looked like the children of some high-ranking people frowned at the sight.

Then Louise pointed out the student.

“Students there, do you have any inconveniences?”

Then the student shook her head and strongly denied it.

“No.”

“hahahaha, it seemed like there was a lot of dissatisfaction, but as soon as I was pointed out, it disappeared in an instant.”

At that, her student’s face turned red.

“Then let’s do something like that.

Well, anyway, today’s task is incredibly simple!

After receiving the books to learn for a year, go to the dormitory and that’s it.

We’ll send out wizards to measure the school uniform and make it right in front of your eyes.”

Saying that, Louise took out one of her boxes from under her school uniform and began to open it. She

She Then she put the box on the desk of the student sitting in the front and gave some rough instructions before she left the classroom.

“Oh, the room number of the dormitory is tucked inside the book cover, so go find it yourself.”
