Obviously not. Behind her gaze was a firmness, as if to say, "Please let me do it."
Alright, then it's up to you, Silphie!
I averted my gaze, and Hilfi immediately understood what I meant. She then slowly stood up and bowed to Vice Principal Genas.
Very well, my freshman speech battle has ended in failure before it even began. Silphie's freshman speech battle begins!
"Hi...Hilufiette, what are you doing!?"
However, Hilfi's actions really frightened Vice Principal Genus. Upon seeing this, he jumped back a step and hugged his shoulders, trembling.
It was as if Hilfi suddenly said, "You are dead."
Of course, it would be even more interesting if you added an exclamation mark like "What!"
[Note: "You are already dead" comes from the classic words of Kenjiro, the protagonist of "Fist of the North Star". Original Japanese lines: "おまえは、もう死んでいる"
Explanation: Kenshiro says this line every time he defeats the main villain in each episode of Fist of the North Star, which is why it is so popular.
Original Japanese text: お前はもう死んでいる(おまえはもうしんでいる)
In Japan, this phrase is considered a classic, and it's almost always mentioned by the host or guests whenever a program featuring "Fist of the North Star" airs.
“Mr. Vice Principal Genius, I apologize for your sudden visit. May I make a rude request?”
Wow! Impeccable diplomatic language. While the language seemed to be full of polite gestures of being in a subservient position, it actually took advantage of Genius's fear of us to firmly grasp the initiative in the conversation.
If I were Ginas at that moment, I would definitely feel uncertain.
“Hilfiet, no, Miss Hilfiet, please tell me what you need and I will do my best to help.”
The objective has been achieved; the first step of the operation has been a great success!
Hilfi stood in front of me with a very polite demeanor. Her back view was like that of a female executive in a business battle, leaving her opponents speechless!
[Note: This refers to Shinobu Tanikawa, the investment banking executive in the "Hanzawa Naoki: Icarus in the Silver Wings" arc. Readers often refer to her as the female version of Hanzawa Naoki.]
"Since Vice Principal Genius has put it that way..."
Sylphie's words clearly carried a hint of amusement; she was about to launch an attack!
"Regarding what you mentioned before about speaking on behalf of the new students at the opening ceremony, I am very sorry for declining your invitation earlier."
“Oh! You mean that matter? Miss Hilfiet doesn’t need to come here to apologize for it.”
"but…"
"but?"
"However, since Vice Principal Genius recognizes my ability to speak on behalf of the new students at the opening ceremony, I feel I cannot let him down. Therefore, I would like to make a rather impolite request: please allow me to speak on behalf of the new students, Vice Principal Genius!"
"Please, Vice Principal Genius!"
Sylphie bowed and spoke in a loud voice that was out of character for her usual cute image.
"Although... one student has already signed up, it doesn't matter!"
Genius, who had a cold, helped Silphi up, his face beaming with joy. If he didn't have ears, his mouth would probably be stretched to the back of his head.
It seems he also very much hopes that Silphie can take on the important task of speaking on behalf of the new students at the opening ceremony.
Although, as he said, one student had already signed up, he left the matter to Ginas to handle himself.
"Someone has already..."
"No, no, no, I am already very grateful that Miss Hilfiet has honored me with her invitation, so please don't stand on ceremony."
"In that case, thank you so much, Vice Principal Genius."
Under Silphie's overwhelming attack, Vice Principal Genius had no chance to fight back. In addition, Genius had originally intended for Silphie to give the speech to the new students, so things went unexpectedly smoothly.
"So, Miss Hilfiet, Mr. Rudius, how have you been staying lately?"
"Please don't use titles like 'Mr.' or 'Miss,' since Sylphie and I are now considered your students."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Rudeus, and Hilfiet..."
……
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Genius asked us some trivial questions about whether we were settling in comfortably and our future study plans.
Furthermore, Genius also stated that he would do his best to provide us with conveniences at school. With the vice principal's support, this undoubtedly provided great help in changing the negative rumors surrounding me and Sylphie in the future.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock at the door, and there was no need to continue our conversation, so Sylphie and I decided to take this opportunity to end the conversation and leave the office.
I rose and bowed, saying:
"Excuse me, we've disturbed Vice Principal Genius's work. Sylphie and I will take our leave now."
"Not at all, you two are welcome to come anytime."
As he spoke, Vice Principal Genius opened the door for us.
Standing outside the door was a blond boy dressed in aristocratic attire, holding an expensive magic textbook. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, similar to Alice's age.
The boy didn't seem surprised to see me and Sylphie, as if he had seen us before. But there was no need for Sylphie and me to linger here. After a brief greeting, I pulled Sylphie towards the door.
"Professor Genius, about speaking on behalf of the freshmen."
Could he be the one who has already registered?

Chapter 93: Dyeing (Part Two)
……
"Professor Genius, about speaking on behalf of the freshmen?"
Could he be the one who has already registered?
"Oh, it's Mugolei."
Mulgore?
What a strange name!
Is his full name "Mulgore Bloodhoof", and is there another person in his family named "Baine Bloodhoof"?
[Note: Mulgore is a region name, first appearing in Blizzard Entertainment's single-player game *Warcraft III*, and later becoming famous in the online game *World of Warcraft* and its corresponding novel series. The lush Mulgore Plains are the home of the noble Tauren. Baine Bloodhoof, Chieftain of the United Tauren Horde.]
"Ah, let me introduce myself first."
Gennas enthusiastically pulled up the boy named Mogorei.
He's the one who's already signed up to speak on behalf of the new students. I think it's better to take Silphie with us first, avoid this "problem child," and leave the problems to Genus. That's the right thing to do.
"Um, Vice Principal Genius, you go ahead with your work. Sylphie and I will be leaving now."
"But……"
"Please wait a moment."
The boy named Mogorei grabbed Sylphie's sleeve.
His traditional Lanoa-looking face reminded me of a certain disgusting nobleman, not because of his physical contact with Hilfi, but because his face unexpectedly resembled that of a border nobleman named Pedro Caroline.
What bothered me more was his lack of any other reaction when he saw me and Sylphie. If he and Pedro were related, that would be utterly disgusting.
I originally planned to come find Genus in the afternoon, but things happened suddenly, and I ran into that group of delinquent teenagers. Otherwise, I was planning to have lunch with Sylphie first before coming to find Genus.
Now that I want to leave, I've run into this jinx.
Hilfi paused for a moment, then smiled politely at Mulgore and gently pushed away his hand that was tugging at her sleeve.
Mulgore blushed as soon as there was a little physical contact.
Why are you blushing like a teapot?! Haven't you ever seen a woman before?!
[Note: The "Blushing Bubble Teapot" reference in *Overlord* is often referred to as a spin-off of the series. While the Bubble Teapot character is a real person, their in-game appearance is that of a pink slime.]
"Aren't you going to let go?" I immediately raised my hand and applied earth magic to my palm to harden the skin.
Just as he was about to break the Mulgore's hand that was holding onto Sylphie's sleeve, Sylphie pushed him away with a little force.
The guy actually looked like he was enjoying it, which was really disgusting and made me feel extremely repulsed.
"Rudy, let's go."
"..."
Hilfi pulled me by my clothes and led me outside, just like parents would pull away a child who was bothering another family's child.
Standing in front of Gennas's office, the Mulgore was still grinning at us.
Many people at school probably know about the rumors surrounding me and Hilfi, so no one would deliberately provoke us if they didn't want to cause trouble.
Does that Mulgore have a crush on Sylphie?
It is something I find utterly repulsive.
Fortunately, Silphi pushed Mulgore away before I could make my move, otherwise her hand, hardened by earth magic, would have broken his wrist.
When that time comes, Merlin's plan to clear our names of rumors will fail before it even begins.
"Rudy, look closely at Lu."
I snapped out of my daze and realized there were steps leading downstairs in front of me. Thank goodness for Hilfi's warning, otherwise I almost tripped and fell down those steps.
"Oh, I'm sorry, thank you, Silphie."
"Don't mention it."
Hilfi didn't ask me what I was thinking, but she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
It's strange. I don't know why, but looking at her face, my face started to feel hot.
"Rudy, you look so cute when you're jealous." "Huh?"
"Wha...what?...I'm jealous?"
ha?
Am I jealous?
ha?
How can it be?
ha?
Whom are you jealous of?
No, it's just...
A Mulgore? Seriously, why would I be jealous?
"Alright, alright, Rudy, let's go get lunch."
Hilfi lifted her toes slightly and reached out to touch my head. My face seemed even hotter; at this moment, I'd accept any ending that involved orange juice.
[Note: This is the final scene of the *Neon Genesis Evangelion* theatrical film *The End of Evangelion*, which concludes the Third Impact of Humanity with an orange-juice ending.]
We walked hand in hand toward the cafeteria in silence.
The students on the street avoided us as if we were seeing a statue of Niou.
Leaving aside some students who seemed very honest, they all clearly avoided me and Hilfi.
A group of teenagers who looked like local delinquents walked towards us. When they saw us, they immediately moved aside and started talking about how nice the weather was, even though the snow outside the window had just melted and it was a cloudy day.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, the student council members standing guard at the entrance looked at each other for a few seconds, but they did not stop us. However, inside the cafeteria, the auntie serving the food was clearly trembling with fear, but her hand holding the spoon was surprisingly steady, as if she wanted to pour all the meat in the pot into my and Xilufei's plates.
After getting our food, Sylphie and I found a table to sit down. The cafeteria looked very full, but nearly half of the tables were empty for us. Everyone else was huddled on the other side of the cafeteria. Some people didn't have seats and preferred to stand and eat with their hands rather than sit down or come to a place closer to Sylphie and me to get utensils.
The student council members, dressed in neat white uniforms, stood closely in front of their classmates. The reactions of the students and the student council made Hilfi and me feel a little uncomfortable, but this student council with a sense of protecting its members still deserves praise.
Unlike the modern Japanese government and unscrupulous civil servants, who only know how to shirk responsibility when problems arise, and at most offer an apology afterward.
Having only been at this school for three days, I have already developed a high opinion of the student council here.
After lunch, Silphie and I returned to the dormitory. Teacher Loki wasn't in her room; she was probably preparing for the afternoon's lessons. I also needed to prepare for the three-month-long rumor-eliminating campaign.
The resources I have at my disposal right now include Mr. Merlin and the Magic Guild, and Vice Principal Genius has also said that he will do his best to accomplish anything he can at this school.
