"Before I came to this school, I was tainted by some unpleasant things..."
"Look! She's from the Sperud tribe!"
The girl's speech was interrupted. She stopped speaking, rested her arm on the podium, propped her chin on her hand, and quietly looked at the people below the stage.
She seemed to be prepared for this kind of situation. Her face was expressionless, like she was smiling but not quite. That expression was something you wouldn't have unless you had experienced something heartbreaking.
Compared to what she had experienced, the attacks, sarcasm, and ridicule from some people in the audience seemed like child's play.
The audience gradually quieted down, and the hall fell into silence.
Vice Principal Genius wanted to go on stage to smooth things over, but the moment he took a step, he immediately felt the girl's gaze directed at him. The blackboard business and the good deeds of the library were all just superficial things. Genius realized once again that no matter how their reputations changed, the girl and Rudius, who was with her, were always extremely dangerous people.
Feeling like a frog caught in the gaze of a venomous snake, unable to move, whether from fear or from cherishing his own life, Ginas chose to retract the leg he had just stepped out.
"Has everyone said enough?"
The girl spoke, her voice calm and steady, yet her tone was unusually cold. The students below the stage, who had been jeering and attacking her mercilessly, all fell silent.
Dark clouds swirled in the sky, occasionally accompanied by flashes of lightning. These were cumulonimbus clouds that had not yet fully unleashed their power. The girl was deliberately maintaining this state. It was as if a sword of Damocles was hanging over everyone's head. People fell into silence in a chilling atmosphere where lives could be taken at any moment.
"Okay, then I'll continue."
A smile appeared on the girl's face, and the dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipated.
……
"Mulgore, you have good taste. My sister really likes her."
A girl who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a gray-black student council uniform and with a waist-length golden ponytail, was not particularly beautiful, but she was definitely not ugly either. Unlike the hairy Lanoans, her hair was so sparse that even her eyebrows were pitifully thin.
She is the student council president: Cosette Caroline.
The girl was sitting in the student council seats to the side of the podium.
Standing beside her was her younger brother, Mughalo Galorin.
"Of course, Rudius is engaged, he can't possibly compete with me for Miss Sylphiete."
Mulgore confidently raised his head, his eyes fixed on the long-eared girl with emerald green hair on the podium. A look of rapture occasionally crossed his face, as if he were fantasizing about a carefree, romantic campus life with her.
"My silly brother, can you really handle a girl like that?"
"Don't worry, sister, I can definitely do it!"
Mulgore patted his chest confidently, while the girl sitting next to him was not as calm as her brother. Instead, she turned to look at him with a worried expression.
"I... never mind, little brother, whatever makes you happy."
……
"Why did you come to this school? Are you rich young masters born into famous merchant families, spoiled brats born into noble families, or like me, born in a poor village on the edge of the Kingdom of Asura's territory, where even the tuition fee is the savings of your entire family for more than ten years, living in a house made of bundled firewood and mud, sleeping on a bed made of piled firewood, and going through all kinds of hardships to come to this school?"
"What? I remember someone was talking about it quite cheerfully just now."
The girl on the podium left the center of the podium and walked to the very front, the place closest to the students. With each step she took forward, the students below took a step back.
"Ah, so you're all just ants who only dare to sing in the shadows. No matter what kind of family background or social standing you have, how much money or power you have, you're all just cowards who prey on the weak and fear the strong. You don't even dare to say why you came to this school."
She smiled dismissively at all the students below the podium.
However, the students in the audience did not seem to be offended by her extremely hurtful words.
……
Cosette Caroline scrutinized the girl on the podium who was repeatedly mocking and ridiculing all the students below, a scheming glint in her eyes.
"I must recruit this child into the student council."
Standing to the side, Mulgore said with some concern:
“Sister, not only Sylphieette, but Rudius could also be recruited into the student council, but what Father did in Dark City…”
"Don't worry, my lovely silly little brother, I know what to do. I will make sure you can take over the position of student council president with their help."
……
Rudyus's perspective:
After burying Mr. Merlin, I went to his room. He had no luggage, only his metal pipe that he often used, and a bunch of black, lumpy objects inside the pipe. I remember Mr. Merlin saying that they were not good things.
It seems like it was just when we first met.
Come to think of it, only about three months have passed.
My teacher, who was nearly a hundred years old, died at my hands just as he was preparing to enter the next hundred years.
I don't understand what he said before he died. He told me to kill him, but at the same time he said that sparing someone's life was a rare and precious thing.
hateful!
What exactly do you mean?!
Teacher Merlin!
Tell me!
I gripped the metal cigarette holder with both hands, constantly questioning it with the questions Merlin had left behind. To others, I probably looked like a patient suffering from hysteria.
He had plenty of opportunities to kill me. Was he trying to set an example for me, demonstrating that sparing someone's life is a rare and precious thing?
I can't do it. I don't have that kind of strength. If I relax even slightly, I will be killed. I will die!
What kind of place is this?!
What a lousy place!
Another world or something!
What kind of hell is this?!
Merlin, you're so arrogant! You've lived for almost a hundred years, of course you have the leisure to show off your wisdom in front of a junior like me, making me bear the guilt of killing my own teacher, do you just want to watch me have nightmares like this!
Teacher Merlin!
Tell me!
It would be better if you just died. All that talk about sparing my life, the difference between this place and Asura, the struggle... I'll have to figure all that out myself...
and many more……
The struggle...
Merlin himself said it...
Competition exists everywhere in this world, whether it is royalty or common people, all are caught in an endless struggle.
To survive in this world, one must become the best in the competition; this is the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Spare his life... I don't yet possess the strength to save myself while also saving others...
Wait... spare his life...
Ha, how ridiculous. I'm afraid that's something I can only think about when I'm at the top of the food chain.
I want to climb upwards, step by step, until I reach the highest point.
"What are you thinking about, Lord Rudeus?"
A naturally alluring voice came from behind me.
"nothing."
I could tell who it was just by the voice, but I didn't turn around and didn't intend to meet her gaze.
How does it feel to kill your own teacher?
"Ah!"
She saw me kill Merlin, is she trying to use that to blackmail me?
No, her wishes should represent the wishes of the second prince, Halphas. Using this to blackmail me would be meaningless to Halphas.
No, I feel like I'm being led by the nose by her. I've had enough. I don't want to be used anymore.
"What do you want to do? Since you know that I killed Merlin, you should also know that if I want to make someone disappear, it is a very easy thing."
"No, I only made a small deal with that Mr. Merlin, but I never expected him to be so trustworthy."
What deal did Merlin make with her?
Could it be related to me?
Could it be that Master Merlin did this for me?
"you……"
I suddenly felt something surging from behind me into my whole body, sometimes warm, sometimes cold. It wasn't as warm as Alice and Hilfi's embrace that melted away the ice, nor was it as chilling as Philip and Caroline's smiles. It was a feeling that was both warm and cold.
I came to my senses and saw Lilith's slender, smooth arms wrapped around my neck. The frigid temperature of the northern land made her bare arms, exposed to the cold air, appear slightly hot, and waves of enticing heat were gently blowing into my ear canal.
What I mean is that it's being gradually eroded, leaving only a burning blush on my face.
"What? Lord Rudius? Didn't I say that if necessary..."
I couldn't resist it, or maybe I wanted to escape it.
Whether Merlin died because of me, whether it was out of guilt for killing my teacher, or out of disappointment with the world...
I turned to face her and pressed her proud, voluptuous body onto the bed, feeling her soft touch all over my body.
"Is it painful, Lord Rudeus? Then there's no need to be gentle anymore."
……
La Noah Magic University
……
"You think you're so great for squandering the money your parents gave you at La Noa Magic University?! You came here carrying the hopes of your whole family, only to lose your way?! What is the point of you being here?!"
The collar of the inner lining of Shilufi's white wool coat was already soaked with sweat, and large beads of sweat streamed down her cheeks. Her speech at the opening ceremony for new students had turned into a denunciation meeting of everyone in the audience.
She spoke vehemently, comparing everyone in the audience to maggots and ants.
She argued forcefully, and everyone was overwhelmed by her relentless and devastating attack.
Some people no longer dared to look directly at Hilfi on the podium; only a few with clear objectives and who knew their own hearts were still staring intently at Hilfi as she spoke eloquently on the stage.
"Answer me, you walking dead!"
The powerful words came from Hilfi's small body, and some tall people were so frightened that they trembled, while some who were already timid and fearful fell to the ground.
"Then waste your time in this school! Fill the emptiness in your hearts with studying and hard work, so that at least you won't become pests causing trouble everywhere after you leave this school! Do you hear me! You walking corpses!"
That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone.
As she uttered her last words, Hilfi adjusted her breathing and slowly walked off the stage.
The people below the stage seemed to be still reeling from the shock. It was this young girl, who had just been attacked and relentlessly insulted by the audience, who had struck at their empty hearts.
Even Vice Principal Genius forgot to preside over the ceremony and move on to the next item.
The girl in the gray-black uniform walked towards the podium, just passing by Hilfi, who was walking down from the podium.
"That's very well said, Silphiette. Would you be interested in joining the student council?"
"I'll consider it."
Hilfi turned around, and the girl in the gray-black uniform was already standing in the center of the podium.
Hilfi stepped down from the podium and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Rudy, the task you gave me is complete."
She looked up at the sky, and then, a light snow began to fall.
