The enthusiasm of the male students continued.

"Wow... Princess Eustia!"

"Is this was enlightenment feels like?!"

You should be enlightened through the sword, not while ogling the princess's body, you idiots!

Eugene beat his chest out of frustration.

The male students were ecstatically waving their arms around like crazy.

Just as they said, Princess Eustia was walking in front, receiving all the attention.

Her white hair shimmered in the sunlight as she walked, making her look stunningly beautiful.

She was older than Celine by two years, and her mature and sleek figure, honed by years of sword training, was flawless.

Every time she walked in her white swimsuit, something rather large jiggled noticeably.

"I could die happy right now!"

"To think that we would get to see Princess Eustia in that outfit!"

The male students lost all semblance of reason and screamed out loud.

They were so captivated by Eustia that even if she told them to jump into a pit of fire, they would do so without a second thought.

‘These guys are... the future of the empire...’

The future of the empire seemed bleak.

"There she is! She's finally here!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

Suddenly, an even louder cheer erupted.

‘Is there still something left to go crazy about?’

Eugene looked incredulously at what was behind Eustia.

Among the senior female students, one person stood out, shining brilliantly.

It was the silver-haired girl, Celine.

She was walking in a light blue swimsuit, her face flushed and arms crossed as if she wasn’t quite comfortable with her outfit.

‘No...’

Upon closer inspection, her swimsuit seemed a bit too small, as if she had outgrown it but brought an old one from her childhood instead.

No wonder she was embarrassed.

"Celine! Ahhhhh!"

…My ears are going to burst.

Eugene frowned and looked to the side.

A guy with glasses was bleeding from his nose as he stared at Celine.

He seemed to have completely lost his sanity and was muttering non-stop.

Listening closely, Eugene could hear...

"Though she’s small compared to her peers, she has the most perfect female figure. How can such a body even exist? Her breasts are just the right size, and so are her hips.

Her thighs are firm with muscle, it’s just indescribable. Meditating every day, her skin is spotless, pale, and radiant, truly like an angel descended to this world.

Seeing the flesh peeking out from her swimsuit straps, I can’t help but be in awe. Celine is undoubtedly a treasure of humanity.

All men should stake their lives to protect her, and anyone who dares to hold her in their arms should be torn to shreds and fed to the dogs..."

‘He's totally lost it!’

Eugene paled and covered his ears.

The guy with glasses continued to spout his chaotic thoughts, making it difficult for Eugene to keep his sanity.

“Celine! I love you!”

“I’ll protect you for the rest of our lives!”

“The treasure of the Swordsmanship Club! Celine!”

‘Everyone has gone mad. Completely….’

Those who should be cultivating a mindset to lead the empire were losing their minds over a girl.

Was this their problem?

Or was it a problem with the female leads, including Eustia?

It was a question demanding profound contemplation.

Clearly, it was a complex issue that could not be easily resolved.

‘This is a tough problem.’

Eugene rested his chin on his hand, sinking into deep thought.

Just then, a shadow fell over him.

‘Hmm?’

When Eugene looked up, Eustia, dressed in a swimsuit, was standing before him.

She smiled softly and spoke.

“Eugene, can I sit next to you?”

Eugene smiled awkwardly.

‘She wants to sit next to me?’

Wouldn't it be better to just kill me?

Right now, the female students were wearing swimsuits, and the male students were losing their minds, turning into beasts.

There was no difference between them and gorillas.

And in such a situation, she’s asking if she can sit next to me?

A shiver ran down his spine from the murderous aura rising around him like smoke.

Even seasoned assassins would have trouble producing such an intense aura.

‘I’m really going to die at this rate.’

“……There’s no room here. Go somewhere else.”

Survival came first.

After being rejected, something she couldn't even imagine, she bit her lip and stepped back.

Eugene, seeking peace of mind, found a spot far from the students and gazed at the sea.

"Nature is indeed beautiful."

He didn't want to go this far.

However, things happening around him pushed him to his limits.

"Cillian! Cillian!"

"Hmm?"

"Out of the four of us, who's the prettiest?"

"Are you guys betting on something fun?"

"Yes! Choose the one you find most appealing among Celine, Riel, Elia, and me!"

"That's a fun dilemma."

Eugene wanted to throw an octopus at their faces in response to their fun dilemma.

He shook his head, trying his best not to listen to Cillian and the girls' conversation.

"I think Celine is the prettiest, of course."

"That's upsetting, brother."

"Wow, I didn't expect that from a family member."

"That's quite a letdown, isn't it?"

"Hahaha!"

However, their irritating voices drilled into his ears, clear as day.

"Eugh."

Eugene saw the group of senior girls wandering around.

They were dragging the youngest, Celine, around, asking the boys, "Who's the prettiest?" as part of their game.

In this situation, Celine, being the youngest, couldn't retaliate and was being dragged along.

'The problem is the senior-junior culture... It's problematic...'

It was the first time he felt pity for her.

She was being sacrificed as an option in the "Who's the prettiest?" game, receiving the most votes, and her face was flushed as if it could explode at any moment.

'I'm worried she might burst into tears.'

Eugene, feeling a bit of pity for Celine, looked back at the sea.

'Just don't come to me.'

He had no intention of participating in such a game.

That's why he left his original spot and moved far away from the others.

But life doesn't always go as planned.

His wish was far from being granted.

"Let's go there too!"

"Yeah, let's go!"

"No, not there. That's really... Ugh..."

The senior girls, having gone around to all the male students, discovered Eugene sitting alone and dragged Celine over to him.

'Eugene is really a no-go...'

Celine, her face red from all the embarrassment, bit her lip tightly.

Today, just before the group teleport, she did something unthinkable.

She went and grabbed Eugene's hand.

She still couldn't understand why she did that.

She was standing at a proper distance from Eugene with the senior girls when she saw Eustia approaching him openly.

From Eustia's eyes, she could tell that she had something to say to Eugene.

Of course, it was none of her business, so she turned her attention away and tried to hold hands with the girls next to her.

"The princess's gaze. Is that it?"

"Yes, that’s the one."

If only she couldn't hear the voices of the female senior.

"…What do you mean by that?"

"Don’t you know, Celine? Look at that gaze. She’s planning to stir up some trouble."

"I see it too. The princess seems to have set her sights on Eugene."

"Set her sights?"

"Yes. Celine, are you still too young to understand what we're talking about?"

"It means the princess has decided to seduce Eugene."

The moment those words reached Celine’s ears, she found herself walking towards them without realizing it.

When she snapped back to reality, she was holding Eugene's hand, shocked at her own actions and at a loss for words.

She couldn’t understand why she, who didn’t even like Eugene, would act impulsively at the sight of him being claimed by someone else.

Was it because his swordsmanship was that impressive that day?

Did it touch me so much that...

I became worried he might never teach me swordsmanship again if he became someone else’s possession?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find an answer.

Her head began to hurt, causing her to squint her eyes shut.

"Celine, open your eyes!"

"Look at me!"

"You’re in front of Eugene right now!"

'In front of Eugene?'

Celine opened her eyes in shock, only to see the sight she wished to avoid.

Eugene, with an expressionless face, was staring at her in her swimsuit.

The moment she realized this, she became acutely aware of the tight swimsuit on her body, and heat rushed up her neck, turning her face red.

'I'm so embarrassed…'

Standing in front of him in this revealing outfit was mortifying.

If she could, she would have dug herself into the sand to hide.

"Eugene! Which one of us four looks the prettiest to you?"

"Come on, choose!"

The female seniors started their teasing with bright smiles.

'Just choose quickly... So I can leave.'

Celine lowered her blazing red face and looked down.

'You’re having a tough time too.'

Eugene looked at Celine with eyes full of sympathy.

He wanted to avoid this situation altogether, but it was too late.

He had to choose the prettiest among them to satisfy the female seniors and get them to leave.

Eugene looked back and forth between the three female seniors and Celine.

Who is the prettiest?

The choice was too easy.

‘She is clearly outshining the rest.’

The three female seniors were not unattractive.

In fact, if Eugene before possession had seen them, he wouldn’t have been able to meet their eyes - they were that beautiful.

However, Celine’s beauty was literally out of this world.

Seeing her now made it clear.

‘She really is beautiful.’

Even in a world with high beauty standards, Celine's beauty was in a different league, undoubtedly magnificent.

He could understand why the previous owner of his body had gone mad.

‘That means she is very dangerous.’

He had to practice swordsmanship even more diligently.

He took his eyes off Celine and gave his answer.

"Celine is the prettiest."

“......”

Eugene didn't notice since he didn’t look at her afterward, but Celine's face was now so red it couldn’t get any redder.

'I don't know...'

She bit her lip tightly and turned her body away.

Today was, by far, the most embarrassing day of her life.
