Chapter 23.1

Lunch the next day...

Ugyaaaaagh!!!

As Anna was preparing lunch in the kitchen, she heard a strange scream.

Right after that, a loud sound as if something soft thudding against a wall or floor could be heard from her masters bedroom.

It seemed that her master got up and fell off the bed first thing again.

Hehe.

Anna smiled as she remembered her masters appearance at dawn.

Honestly, her drunk master was like a big cat and she was just so cute.

It had been three months since she became Jeon Ji-hyes maid.

She was quite satisfied with her current life.

Fortunately, Annas new master was not the type to be harsh with slaves.

Jihye never gave Anna harmful orders, and above all, her master was a woman.

She set the tableware and cutlery and placed the finished stew in the centre of the table.

This was a dish that would help to relieve a hangover, and her master especially liked it when the cooking resembled the cuisine of her home world.

Yawn... Good morning...

Good morning?

Jeon Ji-hye opened the door and came out while holding onto her hungry stomach.

Her expression was gloomy.

Despite her low mood though, she addressed her maid politely.

Anna. No. Did I actually fall asleep last night? Ugh... What if Jihoo misunderstands? Im not the type of girl who drinks recklessly like that... Ill never drink in a place where Jihoo isnt around, and I have no intention of getting drunk unless Jihoo is beside me...

.

Jung Jihoo.

He is the man her master admired.

When one lived together with Jihye, one could see just how much her master loved Jeong Ji-hoo.

Every time Jihye was in that state, Anna felt both thrilled and bitter.

She was sometimes envious of her masters feelings of love.

Thats love... Will there ever be a moment when I can feel that kind of emotion...?

Anna was wary of men.

The reason why she had fallen from a commoner to a slave in the first place was because of the men who lived in the same village as her.

To her, men were terrifying beings who treated women badly.

Dont worry too much, Master. Even after you fell asleep, you stuck close to Jung Ji-hoo, and Jeong Ji-hoo continued to smile and stroke Masters hair.

Really...? Hehe.

Ji-hye, who was now relieved, started to eat with a spoon.

Anna found herself wanting Jihye to be made happy at some point.

She knew it was presumptuous of her, but she sometimes felt that her master was as dear to her as a real sister would have been.

She had to admit that Jung Ji-hoo was a cool man even if she was wary of men.

Kant Voica~. Ah, ah.

We were currently rehearsing for the entrance ceremony.

All these things are similar to the traditions back on Earth.

It was almost like a high school entrance ceremony.

Even back there, I practiced countless times how to stand up and sit down, and when to clap.

But the entrance ceremony was ruined because of a broadcasting error.

That was not cool

Even now, just like on that day, under the podium, freshmen were lined up in rows of five and continued to sit and stand up.

I was standing on the podium.

There was a certificate of merit in my hand.

[Academy Admission: Best Practical Test Score: Jeong Jihoo ]

It was the test in which I had instantly killed twelve goblins from a far distance with magic spears.

At that time, I had not even taken ten steps, and the test time didnt exceed 30 seconds.

Across from me, I could see a familiar face.

[Academy Admission: Best Written Test Score:

Amer Di Kairos]

As expected of the royal family, Amer received only the best education from an early age, and so she scored a perfect score on the written exam.

However, as [Beauty] Attribute was not suitable for battle, it appeared that her practical performance was not so good.

And in between me and Amer, and standing a few steps ahead of me was a man I did not know.

[Academy Admission: Overall Best Test Scores:

Nicholas Bondrania]

The Bondranian family: They were the losers of the eastern regions of the western continent during the era of the Five Powers before the founding of the Empire.

He is royalty.

His half-hidden eyes were fierce with white bangs hanging over them.

He was a classmate who exuded a savage and ferocious atmosphere.

However, I could feel the freshmen under the podium looking at me and whispering.

Unlike the noble and famous two, was it because I was a new face to them?

Was it because I was a summoned individual? Or did they just happen to watch my duel?

All of the above would probably apply.

We were not the only students on the podium.

More than 10 seniors were standing as if attached to the walls perpendicular to where we were looking.

The faces I knew of among them were 2nd Prince Dave Von Kairos and senior Ian standing on the right, and senior Adele Griff standing on the left.

I had a brief conversation with Adele at the academy banquet.

It was said that she, a blue-haired woman, would take the post of vice president of the academys policing department this year.

Finally, a faculty member retrieved the certificates and informed us of the order of the awards.

We would wait in front of the freshmen, and then when our names were called, we would have to go up to the podium, receive our certificates, and take the oath.
