Volume 1 - CH 20

Julis and the others who had moved to the auditorium were able to smoothly conclude the entrance ceremony.

After the entrance ceremony, they immediately moved to the classroom.

It was a very busy first day.

“I’m Caesar, and I’ll be taking care of you for a year from now on. Nice to meet you guys.”

A different person from the lecturer who came in the morning began to greet them in the classroom.

He had brown skin, a stout muscular body, a rugged face, and a large scar on his cheek.

With that alone, Julis and the others can sense an uncanny aura from him.

The reason for that was────

[H, hey! Why is there an S-class adventurer here?]

[Wow, I’ve never seen one…… before. ……]

[So this is our instructor…….]

He is an S-class adventurer, one of only a few in the world.

Exterminating magical beasts, escort missions, and collecting materials────he is a man who is at the pinnacle of people who went doing those businesses.

Of course, his abilities are well known────he is one of the best in the world.

“Eee, I’ve never been a lecturer before……. To be honest, I don’t know much about this kind of thing. So for now, please introduce yourself.”

In a distracted voice, he sat down on a chair beside the lectern and asked for self-introduction.

“Yes────I’m Emilia Lapis Lazuli. I have the title of princess, but even so, I’d be happy if you could get along well with me.”

Standing up from her seat, she answered without hesitation in a dignified voice.

Her sweeping silver hair attracted the gazes, and her well-rounded face glued the attentions────As can be expected from the top person in the country.

Emilia was the first to start, perhaps it was because she was a princess.

“I am Byrne Huguenot! I’m a dual-attribute user “The Double” and the legitimate son of a duke! Commoners and Inept should at best not drag me down!”

The next one is Byrne Huguenot, the legitimate son of the Duke of Huguenot.

He finished his self-introduction with an irreverent attitude, raising his voice proudly. The people around him praised him, saying, “That is Byrne-sama for you!” But some people, including Julis, were exuding an unconcealed discomfort.

(…… Why is that guy here?)

Julis wondered.

As he recalled, Byrne finished the exam with no chance to show off by Julis.

But why?

(……Well, maybe he got in on the “aptitude” part.)

Byrne is a dual-attribute user “The Double” that is rarely seen.

In that aspect, perhaps he was placed in the S class.

However, even though he was defeated by Julis, he was still arrogant.

“I’m Anastasia Miller. I’m from a duke house, but it would be nice if you could talk to me normally.”

And this time, Anastasia greeted, making a kind expression.

It was the exact opposite of the arrogant Byrne.

“I am────”

And following that, the self-introductions proceeded.

♦️♦️♦️

The self-introductions passed without further ado, leaving Cecilia and Julis behind.

Mirabelle and Ricard had already done theirs, and Julis was attacked by a feeling of being the last.

(I feel sorry for Cecilia, but I don’t want to be the last.)

Therefore, Julis was preparing to stand up, waiting for the one who’s giving self-introduction to have finished.

But────

“I’m Cecilia! I’m a Sister belonging to the Church, and I’d like to get along with you all!”

Cecilia was the first to make the move.

It’s no wonder that, unlike Julis, who tried to stand up slowly, Cecilia was fidgety all the time, wanting to introduce herself as soon as possible.

Therefore, there’s no way he can beat Cecilia who stood up vigorously thinking that her turn had finally come.

(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh……)

Julis held tears of regret and sorrow.

”────And, I’m currently in Julis’ place and indebted to him!! Everyone, please take care of me!”

(……What?)

Why the h*ll did you say that?

Julis’ eyes widened as she said that. Then, he glared at Cecilia, who gave him a sense of accomplishment.

At Cecilia’s bombshell, the surroundings began to buzz at once.

The fact that Julis and Cecilia were cohabitating was known to the nobles who associated with Anderberg House. So, Julis did not worry about that part.

However, this is the Royal Magic Academy where people from all over the country gather.

Naturally, there were people who didn’t know that Cecilia was living with him────

(Goooood……, this is getting super hard!)

The gazes of the people around gathered on Julis at once.

In the face of those gazes, Julis could only shrug his shoulders.

(I’ll definitely, give Cecilia a punishment later……)

“Julis Anderberg────The only son of Viscount Anderberg, and I may cause a lot of trouble, but I’m looking forward to working with you.”

There was no point in worrying about what people were saying.

Julis unhesitatingly introduced himself in the same brief manner as everyone else.

There was no one there to ridicule him an inept.

……It was not because they had changed their minds.

[Hey, the Viscount is keeping Cecilia-sama around?]

[Isn’t he getting carried away?]

[There’s also a possibility that they’re threatening the saintess…….]

It’s just that more topics came to a boil.

(Enough! Cecilia-chan’s an idiot!)

He inwardly complained to Cecilia who looked at him smilingly.

The wrinkles between her eyebrows must not be his imagination.

But besides Cecilia, there were other students who looked at Julis with kind eyes.

Mirabelle, Anastasia, and Ricard────they did not show any displeasure at Julis’s self-introduction.

“Alright, now we’ve finished introducing ourselves. We’ll be in the same class for a year, so get along.”

When the S-class instructor confirmed that the self-introductions were finished, he stood up languidly.

“So, from today onwards, we are going to have a full-fledged class, but────unfortunately, I have neither seen your exams…… nor do I know your abilities.”

Then, he slowly turned to the door of the classroom, and finally said to everyone in the class.

“So you guys, come to the training field now. I’m going to personally assess your abilities.”

On the first day, the first lesson of the Royal Magic Academy seemed to be a trial run with an S-class adventurer.
