Luna, Rudy.

Rie greeted us with a gentle wave as she entered the library.

Oh, Rie, you're here?

Luna cheerfully greeted Rie in response.

I also lifted my head slightly and raised a hand in greeting.

Rie looked at both of us and smiled warmly.

You two are studying hard.

We have to. It's midterm season,

I replied, shrugging as if it was only natural.

Rie chuckled.

Are you aiming for second place again?

I frowned at Ries joke.

Don't you remember? I ranked first during the last final exam.

But you only tied for first place, right?

I shot Rie a slightly annoyed look.

A tied first place is still a first place.

She felt the sting of my look, then turned her gaze to Luna, tilting her head slightly.

By the way, Luna, shouldn't you be busy with your teaching assistant duties?

Oh, I've already finished all my tasks.

You finished them all?

Rie looked at Luna with a puzzled expression.

It was unheard of for a teaching assistant to finish all their work.

Normally, as soon as one task is completed, another one is assigned.

However, Luna claiming she had completed all her work was indeed curious.

Did you just run away from your tasks?

Rie questioned jokingly.

No, not at all! First Rudy, and now you too, Rie?

Luna responded, waving her hands in protest.

Seeing Rie's baffled expression, I spoke up in Luna's defense.

Rie, it seems Luna is even more competent than I initially thought.

What do you mean?

It turned out she genuinely had finished all her tasks.

I initially thought that, as a student, Luna was given less work.

But that wasnt the case.

Luna's efficiency surpassed everyone elses.

She wrapped up tasks at an incredible speed, to the point where she ran out of things to do, even outpacing the graduate teaching assistants.

Considering Luna's diligent nature, she wasn't the type to shirk her responsibilities.

This meant she had indeed completed all her assigned duties in the lab.

Professor Mcguire must be over the moon,

Rie remarked.

More than the professor, the other teaching assistants are probably crying tears of joy,

I chuckled, imagining the scene.

I understood now why Professor Mcguire was so fond of Luna, and why the other teaching assistants always spoke so highly of her.

Luna giggled modestly, brushing off the praise,

Hehehe

But I had something more important I was wondering about,

Rie, how are things with the student council elections?

The current election campaign was proceeding with the help of others, and although we were maintaining our momentum, the situation had not changed much.

Yuni's student council had a solid support base that was becoming more consolidated.

The student council president election was just 10 days away.

Although the elections were just a few days away, Rie still hadn't done anything to counter Yuni.

However, Rie behaved confidently, as if everything was normal.

"You don't trust me? I'm a Hyunmoyangcheo*."

"...What?"

Hearing that, my eyes widened in surprise. Luna, who was standing next to me, tilted her head and asked,

"What's a Hyunmoyangcheo?"

I inwardly groaned upon hearing the question.

Hyunmoyangcheo was not a word that existed in this world.

The coffee stained Diark's uniform a dark hue.

What the...

Diark stared at Kuhn, the freshman now part of Rudy Astria's student council.

Recognizing him, anger bubbled within Diark.

"Diark, are you okay?"

People nearby approached Diark with concern.

Diark suppressed a curse and responded,

Ah, I'm fine. Accidents happen.

Thump...

Suddenly, Diark felt his heart pounding heavily.

He felt heat rising to his forehead.

Whats going on? Why am I...?

Diark glanced at Kuhn, who had bumped into him and now lay sprawled on the ground.

That commoner who was part of Rudy Astrias student council.

A mere commoner.

To anyone watching, it simply looked like an ordinary accident.

However, Diark felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

Even though it was a minor incident and there were people around, he was boiling with rage.

Kuhn brushed himself off and stood up, looking at Diark with a smile.

"Are you okay? Sorry about that."

Seeing Kuhn's smile, Diark felt his anger reach its peak.

The innocent smile seemed like a mockery to him, as if Kuhn had deliberately spilled coffee on him.

Diark retorted sharply,

Watch where you're going, will you?

Di... Diark?

Hearing Diark's response, the surrounding students started murmuring in surprise.

But Diark didnt care about the situation or their reactions.

"I apologized, didn't I? It wasn't just my mistake. You weren't paying attention either, right?"

Whats with this guy?

Diark's face turned red with fury as he glared at Kuhn.

Kuhn narrowed his eyes and muttered quietly,

"This is why I dislike nobles..."

It was a soft comment, but it was audible enough for everyone to hear.

Hearing Kuhn's remark, Diark's eyes widened in disbelief.

You think you have the right to talk back, a mere commoner?

Diark approached Kuhn, poking him in the forehead.

Do you think were on the same level just because were both in the academy, or because our student councils are competing? Do you see us as equals?

Poking Kuhns forehead, he continued,

Without Princess Rie or Senior Rudy Astria, what do you even have?

Kuhn glared back, his voice cold,

And without your family name, what do you have?

What did you just say?

Diark grabbed Kuhn by the collar, his voice icy.

"You sure have a long tongue for a commoner."

Enough, Diark!

Other students rushed forward to intervene.

"Diark, look around you..."

Only then did Diark look around and notice the crowd that had gathered, all of whom had witnessed his public belittling of a commoner.

Recollecting his words, the realization struck him.

He had insulted a commoner in front of many who supported the student council, which was largely backed by commoners.

Diark released Kuhn, his face pale.

Straightening his clothes, Kuhn gave a sly smile.

"You should be careful with your words, my friend."

*In the previous chapter Rudy mentioned his ideal type is a 'virtuous wife' (Hyunmoyangcheo) Uhh it makes sense to say it in this way for this chapter since Rie uses it as a term and Rudy explains what it is which does not have a 1-to-1 translation.

It wouldn't make sense if Rie went and said "I'm a 'virtuous wife'" since she doesn't actually know it means wife and just knows some of the qualities associated with the term so I went with 'Hyunmoyangcheo.'

Sorry for the confusion!

1/5 Enjoy the chappy!
