TL: Zimmings

Mina stared at me and contemplated but soon shook her head.

Thats not allowed. Its not mine, so I cant bet on it.

Are you avoiding it? Are you afraid of losing?

Minas eyes widened when I repeated what she had just said before. But soon after, Mina shook her head and said,

What Leblaine said is not wrong. It is not right to take away the results of the opposing teams efforts in an instant.

Shouts erupted from within the maze.

What are you-!

Mina!

Alan shouted, but Mina firmly shook her head and looked at me.

Im sorry. I was mean.

.

And thank you for teaching me not to do the wrong thing.

.

Im in trouble. I like you more and more. Oh, thats not good. If thats the case Ill stick to you like a gum.

That would be troublesome.

Emeline said that.

She climbed up the maze and looked at Mina.

Emeline, lets be friends. Me and you. I was very moved when you said it out loud earlier. Ive come to realize that I cant judge the affairs of other worlds.

Emeline flinched and looked at the girl who was smiling.

Im a person with many shortcomings, so if its okay with you, I hope youll teach me a lot in the future.

Mina, who smiled brightly, heard the shouts from under the maze and went down from the maze. Then she waved at me and Emeline from below.

Lets support each other!

We ended up in first place.

At the last moment, we managed to break one more yellow barrier to keep the first place with 8 points.

And second place

Thats awesome. theyve dealt with two red barriers.

The new child of fate. after all, its a skill that is different from that of ordinary people.

Minas group, who handled two red barriers in the maze for 30 minutes, took second place with 6 points.

***

About an hour passed after the evaluation was over.

Several professors who were in charge of class assignment evaluation came into the training ground with a bundle of parchments.

A professor in charge of class placement evaluation held up a piece of parchment and called the students name.

Rocitra, Miguel, Hattan. Class D.

The children who were called to class D were pale.

Mikhail, Jodie, Class D. Sandra, Chris, and Class A.

The students who were called to Class A breathed a sigh of relief.

Palpati, Alan. Class B.

What!?

Alan shouted. Peoples eyes focused on Alan, whose face turned red.

Alan is class B?

Even Emeline and I looked at the professor with puzzled expressions.

The professor looked at Alan with a dry expression on his face.

Are you dissatisfied with the result?

Y-yes! I was in a group with Sandra and Chris, who had been assigned to Class A. But why am I in Class B!

What did you do in the evaluation?

Huh?

Sandra found the red barrier with magic, and Chris found the barriers code and broke the yellow barrier twice. What did you do?

I-I.

Not only did you not contribute to your team getting points, but you were all against what they discussed and decided. Under the pretext of your brothers information.

Im not the only one who did that!

Im not blaming you. There is nothing more valuable in war than information. The best tactics come out when you consider the maps of other countries and the status of the commander. The problem is that you blindly trusted the information.

Huh?

How can you be sure that this test is no different from the information you have? What if the color of the barrier is different? Is breaking the barrier and rescuing hostages the content of the test?

T-that.

You didnt have the upper hand in the information war, you were irresponsible.

Professor!

Actually your information is wrong. In the last test, your brother was able to break the purple barrier at your level, but now its different. The purple barrier was built with attacking magic. If we attacked recklessly, not only the hostages inside, but also the students who attacked would have been seriously injured.

.

From my personal point of view, most of these freshmen fail!

The professor let out a thunderous roar. Alan became dumbfounded, and even the other students panicked.

The professor looked at the students with hostile eyes.

A commander who panicked at the unexpected will made their generals uneasy.

When I put the roof on the maze, the captains didnt know what to do.

Then there are also people who recklessly followed others into the battlefield without a plan.

The students who had rushed into the maze following me and Emeline had grim faces.

Also people who tried to steal the opponents score by focusing on the hostage rather than grasping the contents of the test.

This evaluation was a training in preparation for a battle in a situation where there were hostages.

The students who had been fighting over the hostages had a bewildered expression on their faces.

Theres only one person in this freshman class that is useful.

The professors eyes focused on me. Naturally, the students also paid attention to me.

The professor looked at me and said.

As soon as the test was announced, she came up with a strategy, and performed the task brilliantly by penetrating the content rather than focusing on the score.

Yes?

Thats great, Leblaine.

Even among the seniors who watched the training ground, there were words of praise.

Clever. Even though they are lacking people, she used that to change the terrain.

The fact that she monopolized the hill and limited the opposing teams field of vision was also amazing.

She would be useful even if they put her into battle right away.

I was a little startled, and Emeline poked me in the side.

You did well.

Huh?

I think today you You did pretty well.

Emeline was very stingy with compliments. But what came out of her mouth this time was a compliment.

I smiled bashfully at the professor, and the professor burst into laughter.

Leblaine and Emeline. Class A.

Me and Emeline took a deep breath and looked at each other.

Emeline tried to find her composure, but she seemed to be very moved. She bit her lip and covered her red eyes with her hand.

Actually, there were only two people, so I was very anxious.

The professor nodded his head and spoke.

Lastly, Mina. Class A.

Thank you!

This concludes the class assignment evaluation.

Me and Emeline entered Class A, and were evaluated as the best group. We even got the right to take the lead in choosing mentors.

***

But what is the advantage for choosing a mentor?

During dinner, Emeline heard my mutter, and put her spoon down as if she was stunned.

This fool! How do you not know the mentor system of Odis Academy! As soon as I came to school, I kept talking about it!

Living as a lady I didnt think Id have to look into it because everyone around me gave me information. But what is that?

Didnt your brothers tell you?

My brothers dont talk about the academy at home. I like to ask questions rather than them telling me.

What did you do today?

What did you eat?

Who bothered you?!

Emeline shook her head recalling Leblaines brothers actions.

Yes, your brothers In simple terms, the mentor system is a school-designated siblings.

School-designated siblings?

They make the senior guide the junior. Sometimes they get penalized points for each others mistakes, and they fight in pairs. So, for you, whose goal is to have a golden network, it is a valuable system.

I see!

Starting with the freshman welcome party tonight, freshmen can ask their seniors to be their mentor, but we can name a senior before anyone else, and they can mentor us as long as the seniors dont disagree. Of course, you can also ask for mentors from the students of Elysiano Cpass.

Thats great!

I shouted excitedly.

Who should I choose?

I like the princess, and the heir of Crocus Empire is also fine.

The heirs of an empire could be advantageous because of their trade route. No, its better to build a military power first. Will the twin princes be all right then?

I laughed excitedly while holding a fork, and Emeline chuckled.

Emeline, have you chosen two seniors as mentors?

I only want one person from the beginning.

Who?

The witch of the Elysiano Class, Juliet!

Emeline clasped her cheek with an ecstatic expression.

If there is a Javelin in this empire, there is a Juliet in the Mojas Empire. Have you heard of her?

Witch, Juliet Yes, shes famous for erasing an entire area in the Battle of Robes

Isnt she so cool? I will be Juliets mentee and enter the white horse battalion where Javelin was also Juliet was the first person from the west to enter the Elysiano Class.

Didnt you like Adrian?

Prince Adrian is my second choice. Ah, Dont talk about him! Just thinking about it makes me embarrassed.

Didnt you want to seduce Adrian?

Dont mention that. Its the shame of my childhood.

Emeline shook her head, and I burst out laughing.

The reason my brothers asked to see me in the evening was because there was a welcome party for new students.

Mentoring is important, but I realized one thing.

I need someone to ask for information.

In the empire, I had a lot of information through Dubblede, the hope mercenary guild, and many more but now it is different.

I have no information here. Its not a place Ive been to before regressing, so its an unknown territory.

On the other hand, Mina, who came from another world, already had all kinds of information.

I glanced at Minas table, which was crowded with people.

Mina was introduced to all kinds of people because she had Sandra and Alan, who had a good relationship with people.

Are you going to just leave it alone?

To Emelines question, I said, Huh?

That girl gets her hands on people like that.

Let her be.

You know youre only saying things that arent like you these days, right?

Is it really? H, It doesnt suit me. When I saw Mina, I just remembered the days when I was a lady in Amity.

I grinned with a fork in my mouth.

Lady Dubble must be vicious. Isnt it?

What do you mean?

I smiled as I looked at Alan who was giggling next to Mina.

Im like myself.

Alan just got up with a plate and I got up too.

Emeline grabbed me and asked.

What are you going to do?

Ill have to get an informant too.

With that said, I put the plate on the table and followed Alan.

Alan, who was sitting alone on the bench, pulled out something and started talking.

Right, mom, believe me. The second child of fate fell in love with me. She will be your daughter-in-law soon. The first? Ah, that girl is arrogant and not to my taste. Lady Dubblede is-

Thats a communication device.

Is he crazy?

He used it in the academy when its not allowed?

Being friendly to Mina was on purpose.

Its all because Im hostile to him, so he prefered Mina and wanted to take her as his wife.

Uh, class B. Professor, because of that madman, I-

Hello?

Alan, who had been chattering with a communication device, turned his head in a flash.

You!

Why did you stop?

Alan coughed and ended the call. He said while putting the communication device in his pocket.

This is what my brother entrusted to me for a while. Its the schools communication device.

I didnt ask.

Then why did you follow me? Why bother Do you like me?

What kind of bullshit is this

Thats not going to happen.

It wasnt me who said that. It was a blonde man who appeared from the darkness while staring intently at Alan.

Adrian.

The wind blew. He had a beast-like gaze on him. And then.

Rian!

Minas voice came from behind him. She rushed over and took her breath.

Youre really too much. Do you know how long Ive been looking for you? How could the person who brought me here leave me like this- Leblaine?

Mina looked at me and widened her eyes.

Why are you here ah, wait a minute. Lets talk later. I have something to talk to Rian-

At that moment, Adrian came to me. He said cautiously, placing his hand on my cheek.

Why are you hurt here?

Huh?

Youre hurt.

Uh, Mina has something to say-

Is that more important than you?

I looked at Mina, as Alan stared at her. Adrian kept his gaze on me from the start.

What is up with this atmosphere?
