Chapter 464.1

First day of classes.

When we entered the auditorium, most of the seats were already occupied.There were no empty seats in the front or the back of the auditorium, and only a few seats in the middle seemed to be empty.

“Erm… ah, there seem to be some empty seats over there.”

Mariel-chan pointed to the seats slightly to the left of the center from the podium side.There didn’t seem to be any other seats where we could sit side by side, so we looked at each other and hurriedly moved to those seats.Sei, I, and Mariel-chan sat down in that order, and each of us began to prepare our writing utensils so that we could use them immediately.

“Fuuh, I guess we’d better come a little earlier tomorrow.”

We had planned to come early, but it was the first day of classes and everyone seemed to be excited.

“Yes, I guess so. By the way, which seat do you prefer, the front or the back?“I don’t really have preferences for that…”

When I looked at the seats in the front row, I saw that many of the students were wearing simple uniforms.Apparently, most of the students were commoners.And since their future was at stake, they were eager to learn seriously.The seats in the back of the room, on the other hand, were…

A group of well-tailored, over-decorated uniforms lined up in a row, all looking like nobles.

“… Ah.”

In the very back of the room, near the center, sat Alicia Gruzier, the blonde drills girl, along with her cronies.Alicia-sama noticed that I was looking at her, but she immediately turned her head away.The reason why the surrounding cronies chuckled at me after noticing me, was because I was sitting in the middle of the room and not wearing the promised flashy uniform, despite being the daughter of a Duke.I heard them talking about it in whispering tones.No, I’m not particular about my seat, and I like my uniform, so it’s fine.

It seems that all the families are wondering how they should associate with me now that I’ve become conspicuous in so many ways.
