Chapter 276 267: Academy Ends



"Hey, lovebirds!"

"Had fun on that date?"

"HAHAHAH!"

"Aahahaha."

Luka and Noa laughed out loud in the meeting place of the faction while Albert and I secretly planned their death. No one would know, deep in the night. Our knives will be having passionate fiery affair with their necks before they go euphoric in the embrace of the ground. With some bribes and dashing, no one would suspect us either.

"Look at them, bet they're thinking the same thing."

"I've had enough, Luka. Wait till I tell the princess of Schwarz that you hit on miss Rio during the classes."

Luka immediately got on the ground and prostrated himself.

"I apologize,"

"Scum."

"Shitbag."

Noa and I were in agreement here.

I yawned, leaned back, and brought up the cup of wine to my lips.

The faction festival had ended well and the cleanup had finished up too. Well, we never let our homes and this place be dirtied so not like it mattered. It was handled well nonetheless, and now, the last day of classes had passed too.

True to slacking off, I didn't go there to end. Bribing Lushan was easy by threatening to call the cops again, but he seemed more happy with not letting me go to class.

The secretary was very fidgety too. I'd bet something happened.

Unfortunately, though, I had to let Dawn go, just yesterday. We made the most of our time and I kept her around as long as I could, but duty called soon enough and she found it best to monitor the regressors some more.

"What now?" Asked Albert. "We have a month long break, what's your plans. I've got nothing."

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

"I am going back home."

All of us stopped and stared at each other. My eyes widened as realization dawned. Three friends who had nothing to do and one who did.

"Dumb, dumb, Eugy."

"I'll tag along!" Noa screamed. "You live in Schwarz right? I want to see what a count's family is like! Isn't Hall family pretty renowned too? I wanna go too!"

Zero hesitation, as expected of Noa.

"S-sounds fun, an outing or something." Luka stuck his two fingers together and blushed while looking away. "Going to a friend's house, I bet something like that would be fun! Hahaha, I hope I get a chance for something like that too."

Mr. Never had real friends came second. Well deserved fate for a harem game protagonist! Suck on that no-friend Luka.

"Well, I'll tag along. You're probably planning something, right?"

Albert too?

Well, it wasn't wrong. The first step was to take over Fonias, and if possible the entire Schwarz kingdom. Not take over, per se, but to control it. I had already started gathering my manpower as well.

Albert would be…

Quite useful. I didn't like it, but his brains were almost as good as mine if not better.

"What's your condition?" I asked.

Albert slowly lowered his head and wrapped his arms around himself. "Protect me from the Pinot kingdom. They're too overbearing…"

I'll be getting the Pinot kingdom on my ass for taking Albert along.

"Fair deal, then. Noa and Albert can come along."

"Huh? Me? Me!?"

I looked away. I would have let him come were he not so bitchy about it.

"Hey!"

"When we leaving?" Noa asked.

"Tomorrow."

"Ah! I'll go pack right away!"

"Me too. Did you get the approval though, JinnyjinYuyu?"

"What approval now?" I asked.

"You have to take one— Didn't you hear it? The principal said it all in his closing note—Ah… my bad. Of course you didn't hear him."

"I fear nothing, Albert, but a principal's speech? It terrifies me."

Albert quietly patted my shoulders. The pain was real.

"Well, go get it now. It needs the principal's sign, so I suggest breaking in and threatening that bastard."

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Good idea."

Off we went.

"Hey! ME!?"

"Hoya, what are your plans for the break? Are we going back to the kingdom?"

"Hm, I am not sure," Answered princess Hoya. "What about you, Ana?"

"I am pretty free," said Anatolia, her eyepatch hiding her lost eye well. "I think I'd like to spend time with you guys."

Hoya and Adelia smiled at their friend's words. What they previously couldn't have imagined had come in the form of a mellow and kind Anatolia, at the cost of an eye, though.

"In that case lets just go wherever Luka is!"

"Yeah! It's going to be a big plan! Let's take Noa and Albert along too!"

"J-just not Eugene Hall… ok? Please?"

"Pfft, sure," Hoya laughed. "You can relax though, Miss Dawn can protect us all, right?"

"Of course, princess," Dawn smiled and said. "I guess I'll be coming with you then."

"Without question!" Adelia cheered. "We're not going anywhere without you!"

Plans were being made everywhere.

***

"Lady Sophia, will you be going back home?"

Lily, Maria, and Sophia sat together in their

"I was, but your young master is making come along with all of you."

"Oh?" Maria asked. "When did this happen?"

"You mustn't have heard, there's some plans afoot. We're also taking Meryl and Marcin Fonias with us—"

"FONIAS?!"

Maria shot off her seat and screamed.

"No way! What do those bastards want from my young master? Hair! Bring me their hair and I'll end them all—"

"C-calm down, Miss Maria. They're not bad people."

"You don't know, Lady Sophia. All of the Fonias are the same, all of them!"

"We know, we know! That's why we're planning to take them down, alright?"

"T-take them down…?"

Sophia nodded hurriedly. "Down! Done! We're getting them gone!"

"Oh…" Maria laughed. "I see… Hahaha! I am looking forward to this vacation, then."

***

[My dearest daughter. How are you doing? Has school been tough—]

A veiled lady ripped off the letter and put it in the trash. She then picked up the next one.

[Haha, you probably ripped that one. Anyway, we have been—]

Ripped.

And thrown.

And ripped again.

After going through seventeen such letters, the lady finally found a letter with some substance.

[Go and meet that kid's dad first. We'll be going there too, and then you guys can finalize your marriage talks!]

The veiled lady smiled.

It was time for her to get a wife.

***

I was in the principal's office.

I wanted to get out right away. 20s or so blushing? Good, cute. 80s or so blushing? Good, even more cute. Two people in their hundreds that creepily look younger than my parent blushing?

Ew.

But well, there was someone more ew that made me want to leave.

"So? You didn't just skip all classes, but also want to leave the campus now? We allow it usually, but the reason it has to go through us is because of problem kids like you."

"Miss Irina, I can't help it if I am too good to attend your classes."

"That's it. Reject his leave, principal."

"Yes? Leaves? Flowers! Oh, I should probably buy a bouquet for my secretary."

"Prinicpal, I am right behind you…"

Too bad, Irina Lester, this man is sick for now.

"Principal! This guy is yet to fix his problems! Please focus here."

"Tsk, why are you here in the first place, Miss Irina."

"Oh, I came to tell you that you should separate your work and personal life."

What. A. Prude.

The principal seemed to have agreed. He took a glance at her, and then at me.

"Oh, Eugy, he's smiling. You really should stop making so many enemies."

"You want to punish Eugene Hall…"

"Yes."

"And he wants to leave."

"I do."

"Then, why don't both you and miss Rio go with him? Punish him all you want, complaint to that bastard Ban, and then only come back after the vacations end?"

Hah. As if this prude would be dumb enough to fall for your obvious attempt at trying to get rid of her—

"Sounds, like a plan."

IRINAAA!

The day passed by quite quick.
