The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

As she spoke, Ms. Kaphni beckoned Lila and me into the classroom.

The number of students in this class isn't actually that many. I counted carefully and there were about twenty-eight students, which makes thirty with the two of us.

Fortunately, there weren't many boys in the class, only about ten, and there were quite a few cute girls too.

I really want to know how many more of these women will become part of my harem in the future.

Hey hey hey...

There were two students in the red-clad noble seat: a boy with spiky red hair and a girl with big blue eyes. This clearly shows that there are many strong students in this class.

Since there are six red-clad nobles in a grade, wouldn't I suddenly make up half of them?

"Let's start with Lila introducing herself."

However, in my opinion, introducing oneself is a rather embarrassing thing, and I wonder how this Lila will introduce herself.

"Lila Carlstin, daughter of the Duke of Carlstin, please take care of me."

It was very brief, and contained almost nothing...

It was just stating my name and identity; that doesn't really count as a self-introduction.

However, she then glanced at me again, her eyes filled with hostility.

Hey, hey, hey... Miss Lila, your murderous aura is really too strong.

Should we consider reducing our holdings?

This gave me a real fright.

"Alright, it seems Lila isn't very good at expressing herself. Well then, Ivy, it's your turn."

"Ah, yes."

Sure enough... the students below looked at her differently than they did at Lila.

Her gaze was filled with envy, excitement, and admiration... Perhaps this is the endless charm of the red-clad nobles.

But the intense gaze beside me... it's a bit...

"Hello everyone, my name is Ivy Invisdale, a princess from a border castle. I enjoy studying magic and also have some knowledge of swordsmanship. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Hehe~~"

His calm, collected yet resounding words were followed by a heartfelt, radiant smile.

This is something I learned from the anime about a noble lady who transfers to another world. Since you're already getting a lot of attention, you naturally have to greet all the students with your best smile.

As expected of me!

"Wow, what an adorable princess!"

"I never expected a princess to come from a border region, how wonderful!"

"Wow, that's snow-white silver hair! I'm so envious."

Yeah, yeah, that's all the praise you've given me. I haven't been wasting my time all these years.

Unfortunately, almost all the boys shouted loudly, but very few girls joined in.

It seems that building a harem will be even more difficult now.

But the gaze next to me...

Hey, can you stop staring at me? I feel like I'm going to have nightmares because of this.

"Hey... even the red-robed nobleman who was specially admitted to our class has come. Does that mean we've got this class battle in the bag?"

"Indeed, it is an honor that we have three students in our class who are red-clad nobles, and both Ivy and Lila are students with perfect scores from special admissions."

"What? Two perfect scores..."

Instantly, all the students' eyes widened in surprise.

In fact, the assessments at this college are extremely rigorous. In the past three or four years, no one, not even a specially admitted student, has been able to achieve a perfect score.

Now, two people have suddenly entered the academy with perfect scores in the assessment, which must be a shocking event for the entire academy.

And the fact that I blew up the entire testing room because my magic was too powerful should soon spread throughout the entire academy.

But I just hope you won't treat me like a monster QWQ.

"Ivy!"

Just as the students started to excitedly cheer, Lila turned around and shouted loudly at me.

"exist……"

At this moment, I panicked, and my voice began to tremble.

"I'll remember this humiliation, and of course, I will never forgive you, hmph!"

With that, Lila gave a haughty snort and walked off the stage.

The noise in the classroom stopped abruptly, and I and all the students were stunned by Lila's words and stood there dumbfounded.

I never expected to make an enemy of such a formidable girl on the very first day. It makes me realize that my luck is just too bad.

Chapter Twelve: As Expected, a Duel with a Blonde Beauty

After saying that, Lila strode quickly to the last row, to the seat closest to the window, and sat down.

And the only remaining spot in the entire classroom was the one next to Lila, the one closest to the window.

Although, to be honest, that spot was indeed very suitable for me, the protagonist...

But does this mean I have to be Lila's deskmate forever?!

Hey, Ms. Kaphni, this arrangement of yours is going to kill me!

I stiffly turned my head to Ms. Kaphni next to me, hoping she would give me a "safe" seat.

"Hurry back to your seat, Ivy. You must get along well with Lila."

Looking at Ms. Kaphni's radiant smile...

I was devastated. It seemed that Ms. Kaphni had completely cut off my escape route.

Since I am an "excellent student" and also a princess, albeit a fallen princess, I really have to give this teacher, who should be my homeroom teacher, some face, otherwise my future situation may be even more difficult.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Although they were extremely unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

Left with no other choice, I forced a smile and walked back to my seat, which was next to Lila, with brisk steps.

Even now, Lila's eyes remained sharp.

Although she used one arm to cover half of her face, but...

The murderous aura emanating from her body was not weakening, but rather growing stronger.

Good heavens, if I'm being watched like this every day in class, how can I concentrate on my studies, and how can I build a harem?

Just thinking about it made my body start to tremble.

"Alright, let's begin our class meeting now."

Seeing that I had returned to my seat, Ms. Kaphni began a particularly long class meeting.

until...

A crisp school bell rang, and I instantly perked up.

Because this break between classes is the best time for me to be free.

So, I ignored the people who wanted to surround me with questions and immediately set off to run outside.

"Wait a minute, Ivy!"

However, before I had run a few steps, Lila suddenly stood up from her seat and shouted at me.

"Eh……"

I couldn't escape it after all; I already guessed what Lila was planning to do.

"Ivy, I challenge you to a duel to restore the honor of my Duke's family!"

As she spoke, Lila simply took off her tie and threw it on the floor in front of me.

The so-called "tie-dropping" is the most formal duel method at Allen Higher Magic Academy.

However, you can choose to pick it up or not.

Of course, if you pick it up, you must participate in a 1v1 duel.

If you don't pick it up, it's equivalent to automatically forfeiting and admitting defeat.

That proves that they don't even have the courage to fight... so that's a hundred times more shameful than losing a duel.

Of course, I'm not going to admit defeat so easily.

If I admit defeat, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?

Oh...what a hassle.

Left with no other choice, I bent down and picked up the tie from the ground.
