chapter 32
32 – Entrance Ceremony (2)
“We are friends.”
“A friend?”
“Yes.”
The man and the woman frowned at the same time.
The man looked down at me with his arms crossed, and the woman swallowed her sleep and played with her designer handbag.
It goes without saying who it is.
On the male side is Rustila’s father, attorney Lloyd Kersil, and on the female side is her mother, attorney Ada Kersil.
Both of them are difficult people to deal with.
Her parents are overprotective of her due to the trauma of almost losing her child. This is a case of distorted love ruining her child.
As if that wasn’t a lie, Rustilla’s expression, who was sitting far away, was extremely dark.
She is looking at me bitterly.
Contrary to the grinning smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes look dangerous as if a waterfall is about to pour down at any moment.
There were no baby birds trapped in a cage.
– Then, next, there will be a speech from the principal.
You can’t make anything difficult while the entrance ceremony is in full swing. I can’t ruin such a happy day.
“I’m sorry, but I’d like to talk to you after the ceremony.”
“… Hmm.”
Lu Stilla’s parents nodded and returned to their seats.
And, I.
– This concludes the entrance ceremony.
As soon as the grade director said those words, I took Seti and ran away to the class I was temporarily assigned to.
– No, student! Wait!
– Where are you running away!
It was best not to encounter him now.

After checking the message floating in the air, I entered the class in earnest.
By this time, all parents would have left the academy, and only students would remain on campus.
I may have a chance to meet Rustilla alone soon.
With those thoughts in mind, I slowly looked around at the students in the classroom.
These are all familiar faces.
At the same time as I looked, some students also started staring at me.
Some people do it purely out of curiosity.
Someone said it out of favor.
Someone else said with hostility.
I felt like I couldn’t stay quiet, at least while I was in the temporary class.
The most annoying thing among the hostile gazes is probably the guy who starts a fight as soon as he sees me.
Friends who often play the role of third-rate bullies in academy dramas.
But this school is the most prestigious in the universe. For once, it is not so soft that it has bits of lamb mixed in.
In other words, there is no one who will start a fight at the first meeting.
“Oh, who is this? “A handsome senior and an ugly younger sister, right?”
That’s right.
Me and Seti were in the same class as Zernia.
“They just stick to each other. “Have we always been that good?”
“Hey, let’s sit over there.”
“Of course.”
We went back past Zernia.
“Hey, listen to people.”
“Little brother, what do you want for dinner tonight?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been craving raw fish.”
Clatter! And the desk bounced back. Zernya pushed her chair behind her and stood up.
Ttogak ttogak. Zernia is approaching with the sound of shoes stomping. It was a noble step like a graceful swan.
Soon, her new form was cast upon my siblings and I.
She adjusted the position of the white scarf she was wearing and spoke in a harsh voice.
“Do you think I look funny now?”
“…… Why again?”
I thought the argument ended with the entrance ceremony.
“I guess they’re trying to get revenge for what was robbed at the entrance ceremony earlier.”
“Oh, really?”
Revenge matches are inevitable.
Zernya lifted her shawl all the way up and opened her eyes. Beneath the forehead as wide as the Pacific Ocean, two pairs of bright grapes were sparkling like fluorescence.
Me and Seti looked at each other and grinned.

Zernya began her speech condescendingly.
“You too, you too. Again, you’d better enjoy it for now. “A fluke doesn’t work twice.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“You know why this was assigned to a temporary class, right?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t do it.”
“The practical evaluation that I missed during the entrance exam will begin soon.”
“Yes.”
“There you go.”
“Anyway. When the time comes, I think about packing my bags and leaving this class…….”
“You too.”
“Do your best.”
The Zernia retreated red-hot due to the joint attack of the damn brother and sister. We see Zernya running away and cast her high five.
This is more interesting than I thought.

The amount of information has definitely increased. At this level, it wasn’t a waste to pay 100 percent.
The only problem is that this is not entirely my achievement.

While I was thinking about various things, I was chatting with Seti.
Ah, that sound. And then something caught on the threshold. There was a commotion from behind.
When I turned around, there was a girl with dark green short hair rubbing her back, spilling her book.
“Oh go…” .”
She was a girl with a smaller body than Seti or Zernia. The school uniform I was wearing was wide, and the cuffs were not neat. I felt like an elementary school student going to high school.
“Really, I knew this would happen to me.”
After that, another girl came in. This time, a tall person. He was well over 175 cm tall and his face was so mature that if he hadn’t been wearing a school uniform, he would have been mistaken for a teacher.
She said as she quickly picked up the books of the girl who had fallen earlier.
“Merlene, are you okay?”
“Hey, lumbar spine…” ! I think I sprained my 8th lumbar vertebra… !”
“That’s what I told you! Let’s share some books! Why are you pushing yourself so hard? ….”
“Everyone looks at me as a child. “I can do this much on my own!”
Hair, eye color, body type, speaking habits.
By combining all the results, we guessed the identities of the two people. The process itself was not difficult. I’ve already heard the name of one person, and the other person also had a very distinct personality.
“I’m really sorry for causing a commotion.”
The tall girl repeatedly lowered her head. Some people saw him and turned around again as if nothing had happened.
“…… So, how far did we talk?”
“How can I invite Rustilla to dinner tonight?”
“Oh, that’s right. That… ….”
It was then.
“Ahh!”
A tall girl came out and pointed a point at Seti.
To be exact, her finger was pointed at me.
“You…” !”
“What, me?”
“Yes, you! You’re the student who was on the podium earlier, right? Apparently, the name…….”
“Eidel von Rhineland.”
“Yes! Eidel von Rhineland… ! “The best bastard in the universe!”
I sighed. It was a sigh of annoyance, but it was also a sigh of relief.
That’s right. It would be strange if the daughter of the Herset family, who has been a prosecutor for generations, doesn’t pick a fight with me.
“On the way here, I saw several articles about your travels. You committed more evil than you could imagine. “How on earth was someone like you able to enter such a prestigious academy, and at the top of the class?”
“Oh, that’s it….”
“I doubt it. There is a foul smell. Have you been spreading bribes throughout the school? Or do you have a connection with the chairman? No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. This requires contacting the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office and conducting an intensive investigation… !”
If someone says something, listen.
But her rapid-fire dialogue did not last long. This is because a man holding a thin black board tapped her on the back of the head from behind.
“Ouch! “Who are you?”
“Well, who could it be?”
“Oh, no way…” Teacher?”
“Hey, go sit wherever you want. OT will start soon.”
“Okay, okay…” .”
As if she had never done that before, the girl lowered her head and sat down by the window far away. The girl with short green hair sitting next to her was still holding her waist and whimpering.
Chuck, Chuck.
The man who introduced himself as our homeroom teacher went to the teacher’s table and looked down at us.
His black hair was slicked back, and he was wearing sunglasses. In his mouth was a white cigarette-like wick.
The clothes themselves are a dress shirt and a pair of black slacks.
There was an overwhelming atmosphere, perhaps because he was tall.
Gulp. A few students swallowed. I was also nervous because I had no time to know who my homeroom teacher at Academia was.
However.
“Congratulations on your admission, gentlemen. “My name is Welton Eusford.”
When I heard the name, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Holy sh*t, I was deceived.
“Let’s get along well for a year from now. Maybe I won’t be able to meet some of them after the placement evaluation… I will continue to take charge of this class. “I hope you all will do your best to avoid class displacement.”
“Hey, I have a question.”
“Okay. “What is the student’s name?”
“This is Zernia Adelbein.”
“Good, student Adelbein. “Ask anything.”
Then Zernya glanced at us and continued.
“What are the practical evaluation topics and schedule? “Is there any advance notice?”
“Oh, that’s right… …. I do not know.”
“…… ?”
The entire class was frozen cold.
At this point, I looked at Seti’s expression. Oh my goodness, this is the first time I’ve seen my younger brother’s expression so stupid.
“Mo, don’t you know?”
“Is this really a surprise attack?”
“I see. Indeed….”
Students showed their own reactions. Some people frown as if it is absurd, while others nod their heads as if they understand.
Which one of them am I…? .
It was neither.
Suddenly, the door opened. The person who came in through the front door was none other than teacher Kendra Hammington.
A veteran teacher who is in charge of mathematics and is broad but also sincere. In addition, I knew her because she was the main supervisor of the testing center where I was.
Kendra asked, her eyes widening as soon as she saw the boy holding her form at her lectern.
“Student, what are you doing at your desk?”
“Eek.”
The person in charge of our class…… No, student Welton Eusford immediately came down from the podium and sat in the back seat.
It didn’t take long for Zernia to explode.
