103. Experienced

It gives off a strong impression of being a genius.

I trimmed my black hair to a shoulder length that was easy to manage.

It’s not that he’s ugly, but he’s not pretty enough, but his face is sprinkled with freckles.

Even the clothes I was wearing were obvious.

He wore neat-looking clothes, but they were worn out somewhere.

It’s as if I’ve been wearing the clothes I bought to keep from losing when I entered school for several years.

“I’m Rio. I’m in the 3rd year and this is my 3rd year hunting festival. Would you like to team up with me?”

“With me…?”

“Yeah!! It’s going to be hard to find a team member like me. I’ve always been in the top 10 since I entered school.

Amy was terribly embarrassed when she suddenly asked to assemble herself and her team.

No matter how much she searched her memories, she had never seen a senior named Rio.

“Maybe… Are you dating me..?”

“No, it’s the first time we met each other.”

“Can you tell me why you asked me to do something important like the hunting festival team?”

Since they’re new to each other and don’t know anything about each other, why did they offer themselves to be members of the hunting festival?

Team members are a really important factor in the hunting festival.

A black forest is a black forest no matter how shallow you are dealing with controlled prey.

If you think loosely, of course accidents happen and lead to serious injuries.

Amy wondered what kind of person she would be if she suddenly invited someone she had met for the first time.

I would be happy to participate if it was a good reason, but politely decline if not.

At that moment, a giggling sound came from behind Rio.

“Hey Kikki, don’t bully your juniors.”

“You guys have nothing to do, stop chasing me!”

A few students were laughing at Rio.

Judging by the color of the brooch, it seems like he is in the third year, just like Rio.

All of them were recommendation students, and Rio was an exam student.

“Hey freshman, I’m giving you one piece of advice. If you team up with him, you’ll definitely regret it. You’ve already been rejected by 20 students in your grade, so I’m going to catch you who don’t know anything.”

“No!”

“Will you give me a list of the 20 students who were rejected?”

“They kept interfering, so everyone refused… No problem with me!”

The 3rd grader, who was laughing meanly, looked very nasty to Amy.

How many people can look good at that look now?

From noble mtl dot com

It can be said that Rio was rejected by his classmates.

However, she felt very bad about people who could memorize and recite in detail who was rejected by whom.

Amy recalled her memories from a while ago and watched them all.

Rio was being chased by someone and she bumped into Amy.

‘Did you record it while following it? He’s a bad person.’

Couldn’t it have been chasing Rio like this all day today and interfering with him one by one?

If you think that she entered the maze-like general store with no end in sight, to escape from those crowds, her situation looked very pitiful.

“Do you seriously think that there is nothing wrong with you? Not knowing the subject is also a sin.”

The student who spoke first stepped forward.

“Hey, do you think you can win the championship? Wake up.”

The student gradually moved towards Rio, and Rio stepped back.

As he took each step backward, Rio’s complexion turned pale.

“Yeah, leave it alone, the scholarship has been cut off, so now I have to pack my things and go to the academy. What a giggle.”

“It’s disappointing to stop chasing after you. If you don’t see it now, when will you see it?”

“Your grades were good, you acted cheeky, and you looked good. Did you really think you could stand above us?”

As the shelf approached, the student’s hand reached out and tapped Rio on the shoulder.

Originally, it would have been an action that would have just pushed the body for a moment, but Rio’s physical condition was not normal.

Rio, who was pushed on his shoulder, lost his balance and fell backwards, crashing into the ledge.

-Kudangtangtang!!

“Wow!!”

It doesn’t seem like he hit the back of his head, but his body collided with the shelf and miscellaneous items inside spilled out in front of him.

“Stop it!”

This is very serious.

I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I took a moment to step out even at the risk of friction with the 3rd graders.

[Shock detection, protection protocol enforcement]

At that moment, the shelf suddenly split in two, and a blunt-looking golem appeared inside.

[Identification of cause, identified as student dispute.. Students, please exit as soon as possible.]

“What’s wrong with this golem?”

[If you resist, I will enforce it.]

“Ahhhhh??”

When he didn’t obey, the golem’s hands attached to its body grabbed the students right in front of it and lifted them up.

“You stupid tin can guide me right away..!! You do this knowing which family I belong to!!”

“Who is controlling this!!”

The captured students struggled, but the golem’s restraints were too strong and it was of no use.

“Let’s run away through this gap.”

“Uh…!!”

In the meantime, Amy took Leo through the maze-like general store.

——————————————

“It’s cold water.”

“… Thank you.”

Escaping the commotion at the general store, Amy supported her Rio and took refuge in a deserted garden.

Obtaining a wide bottle cap that can be used like a cup, Rio took a sip of water and took a slow breath.

I could see that the rapid breathing that had been frantically exhaled gradually calmed down.

“I… What just happened….”

“… I looked like I couldn’t see my juniors. I’m sorry….”

Rio couldn’t meet her eyes as if he was embarrassed by what had just happened.

“Did I ask why you recommended the team?”

“Yes”

“In my grade, everyone was rejected… I’m just grabbing anyone who wants to participate in the hunt and asking them to join her team…”

“Your career looked good, but you were all rejected in the same grade..?”

I really didn’t understand why everyone was rejected.

If what he said at the beginning of his career is true, then he is a very competent person, so why didn’t he have a teammate?

“It’s arrogant to say that you’ve been caught by professors… By nobles as well.

I should have been satisfied with just barely maintaining my grades enough to receive a scholarship, but I was aiming for something like the top of the grade….

I was warned several times that I was being cocky, but I was completely out.

You should be satisfied with just being able to study while receiving a scholarship from the academy….

The professors are giving all my assignments only C’s.

I can compare myself with other students, but they don’t even meet me. At this rate, I won’t be able to get a scholarship….”

There is only one result that test takers can’t get a scholarship from the academy.

That is ‘dropout’.

Academy tuition is not free and is quite expensive.

It is a reasonable amount of money for a lord who owns a territory, but it is a large sum of money that ordinary commoners cannot even afford.

For ministers who work for the country, the empire provides tuition support, but commoners don’t have that.

Instead, test takers always have to study hard and get a scholarship to qualify for the academy.

If you can’t pay your tuition, you’ll be kicked out of the dormitory first, and you’ll be banned from entering the academy building, and you’ll have no choice but to walk through the bridge.

“I thought that if my skills were excellent, I could overcome even if my background was low. I just don’t know that everyone is watching….”

Leo smiled dejectedly.

-What are you shocked about? You were about to lose too.

I was in a daze, so my companion talked to me and woke me up.

‘That’s right….’

Come to think of it, Amy was also almost beaten by her recommended students several times.

On the first day of her entrance ceremony, many students objected to Amy in many ways.

-That’s why I told you to just deal with the nobles when they bother you. If you try to go out vaguely, you will not be able to withstand the wind and break.

There were times when it was hard to bear, but my companion told me to just let it go.

They say that all the kids who come are idiots, so they’ll go back when they satisfy their sense of superiority.

It was hard for her then to understand why she told her to take it, but now she knew it all.

-If you’re going to do it, you have to do it thoroughly like Atlas, with the determination to really destroy everything. The moment you catch a weakness, it’s eaten like that. You won’t be able to do that, so it was an easy way to get in the mood.

Amy realized how lucky she was.

If River hadn’t stepped in… If Atlas hadn’t stepped in and turned all the attention to himself…

Just imagining it is terrifying.

She thought she would have made a living somehow, but she couldn’t have enjoyed herself at the academy like she does now.

“You don’t know me, but I saw you once or twice as I passed by.”

“Me?”

“The little girl who goes with you… There must be no one at the academy who doesn’t know?”

“Don’t say things like that. If I had heard it nearby, I would have come running right away.”

It sounded dangerous, so I quickly blocked it.

If Atlas was nearby, he would have come running as soon as he heard that sound.

“Oh… Is that enough?”

“Yes.”

“Be careful….”

When Amy spoke very seriously, Rio, realizing that she was not joking, covered her mouth with her hand.

“That’s right… Even if I teamed up with me who was filmed by those guys, it would only harm you… I did a very bad thing…”

Leo smiled dejectedly as if he had given up on everything.

If possible, I would like to be on her team with her, but I put her worries ahead of me.

What kind of disadvantages would there be if the entire senior year was cheated and teamed up with the bully?

Isn’t it possible that even though I participated, I couldn’t participate in the hunting festival?

As I was thinking about it, my companion spoke again.

-Amy Team up with that person.

‘Are you recommending? Why??’

-Maybe if I don’t save the team now, I’ll make a contract with the devil.

‘…………Really?’

-If you can’t save a teammate, what do you think is waiting for that person’s future?

The only thing waiting is the blood-drying time to decide when to submit the letter of withdrawal. And such a weak heart is the best place for demons to penetrate.

After hearing that, I couldn’t say no anymore.

This was like threatening to team up.

If you don’t, they say you’ll make a contract with the devil, but it’s because there’s a high possibility that Amy will have to deal with it if she ends up becoming a Mine.

“… Team together… Let’s do it.”

“Really??”

—————————————-

After emptying all the milk at the cafe, Atlas broke up with River.

River met Amy and said that we should become a team, and I decided not to participate, so everyone got together and decided what to do during the Hunt Festival.

“You stupid tin can guide me right away..!! You do this knowing which family I belong to!!”

“Who is controlling this!!”

As I tried to go past the general store where people were buzzing, a golem that seemed to be 2m tall came out from the store entrance.

In his arms, students were carried one by one.

Everyone struggled and tried to escape, but the golem didn’t even budge.

[Continued riots in this branch will adversely affect grades. Please be careful.]

“Ahh!!! I won’t leave that golem alone..!!”

“Hey.. Hey, wait, that’s an academy thing!!”

It looks like he was dragged out by the guard golem after causing a commotion inside the general store.

The world is so end-of-the-world. How can a person stir up a riot in a general store when he should know manners?

“What are you looking at!! Did you see it??”

One of the three students seemed to have lessened his anger and was angry, threatening and swearing everywhere.

It’s like the truth of a drunken riot at a bar.

A student turned her head in all directions as if looking for prey, and fixed her head at me.

He grinned and lost his temper, so I looked at him quietly without averting my eyes.

Then he suddenly expressed his anger.

“What are you not covering your eyes for? How can something the size of a rat be so arrogant!!”

-Fuck!!

The male student’s chin jumped back violently.

“Hey heck???”

“Is this really spinning?”

I couldn’t believe it, but I immediately started talking bullshit, so my fist flew.

What kind of fight do you mean with a person who just quietly passed by?

The boy whose jaw was turned fell to the floor, trembling and foaming at her mouth.

“Hey!! Hey… Hey are you okay??”

“Hey, can you breathe?”

It looks dead right now, but it didn’t hit me to the point of death.

“Hey, I got caught by some weird guy. It’s no luck..”

Leaving behind the half-corpse, lathering idiot, I walked my way.
