New student, Roberto de Gardania of A-1.
I didn't know how to insult even my senior in A class.
Do you want to get beaten up?
Roberto seemed startled by my sudden outburst.
Naturally, the already uneasy atmosphere became even more tense.
"Are you insulting the rightful heir of the Gardania royal family?"
I punched Roberto and he fell to the ground.
"I insulted the heir of the Gardania royal family and broke his leg."
"Don't you remember the rule not to reveal your status at the temple?"
Everyone was watching the scene unfold.
Roberto, who claimed to be a commoner, was lying on the ground, shocked.
"Do you want to die for real?"
He was scared.
"I'll ask you again, do you want to get beaten up?"
He slowly got up and I stepped back.
"There are people who only understand violence. Get up."
The students who saw Roberto step on a fellow student were frozen.
Lucy was especially wide-eyed.
Roberto was glaring at me with a scowl.
If he's confident, he should fight back.
But he can't take responsibility for the situation afterwards.
"Do you want to fight?"
He seemed to be seriously considering it.
But I could hear whispers in the background. Translation:
Summary of previous part of chapter only for context: In this chapter, a new student named Roberto de Gardania joins A-1 class. The protagonist, whose name is not mentioned, is unable to insult even his seniors. Roberto claims to be a commoner, but when the protagonist insults him, he reveals that he is the rightful heir of the Gardania royal family. The protagonist punches Roberto, causing him to fall to the ground and break his leg. The protagonist realizes that he has broken the rule of not revealing one's status at the temple. The other students watch the scene unfold, and Lucy is particularly shocked. Roberto is angry and wants to fight back, but he is hesitant because he cannot take responsibility for the situation. The chapter ends with whispers in the background.
- "At the festival last time, the senior who won the 1st year tournament... I think I saw him before."
- "Oh, right... now that I think about it, there were plenty of guys who would have seen my face if I had been at the temple before this year. Roberto doesn't know me, but there were guys who recognized me. The winner of the 1st year tournament. Roberto's face turned pale at the mention of it. 'Ah, no... no...'"
- The qualification of the winner of the 1st year tournament was enough for a worthless guy to be taught manners. Seeing that he finally lost his temper, I looked around at the 1st year students. They had completely ruined the atmosphere. No, I didn't gather them to do this. But in the end, that's what happened. I felt like they were all trembling and avoiding eye contact with me. Last year, when we were freshmen, Ludy tried to teach us that status didn't matter at the temple. But I did exactly the same thing. And even though Ludy failed, I succeeded too accurately without intending to. There's no way I can enjoy temple life like this. And now what? "No, I didn't gather you guys to say that kind of thing..."
- Suddenly, a senior who was holding the atmosphere burst out in a scene from a girl senior, and the 1st year students who witnessed it had a strange expression that they didn't understand what was going on. Harry seemed to have come to play rather than gather his juniors. So he wandered around and saw this scene. In the end, he was dragged away without achieving the goal of talking to Lucy and getting beaten up by Harry. After being forcibly returned to the 2nd year dormitory, Harry sat me down in the lobby and spoke to me with a serious expression. "I'm really disappointed in you." "No... it's not like that." The situation started to get weirder as I tried to explain. "What's going on?" Translation: Ellen, with a towel around her neck, approached me as if Harry had made her extremely angry.
"You were scaring the juniors, weren't you?"
"Scaring...? When we were freshmen...?"
"That's right! And you hit someone! The one on the far right! Right?"
"Well, yeah, I did hit him! But..."
It was true that I hit him.
Ellen looked at me silently.
Disdain.
It was a look that conveyed that what I did was a despicable act that even Ellen couldn't tolerate.
It was something that I, especially, shouldn't have done.
"No, listen to me!"
It was unfair.
But since it was true that I did such a thing, I felt pathetic for feeling unjust.
Anyway, it was unfair!
* * *
I sat Ellen and Harry down and explained the situation properly.
We were just going to make a statement, but the number one guy suddenly got angry. That's all.
That was the content.
In the end, it was a fact that we were fans.
Did you dare to gather us for the 11th topic?
Harry, who heard the nonsense that the freshmen were spouting, was dumbfounded.
"...It's a relief that no one died."
Harry's reaction seemed to imply that it was strange that I didn't kill anyone, given my personality.
"You did well. You're kind."
Ellen's response was unexpectedly praising me.
What's going on?
I hit someone.
It was true that I hit him.
Since it was such a despicable act, it became a situation where both of them were praising me.
Is being less of a jerk enough to be forgiven for being a jerk?
It feels good, but something's off!
Anyway, since the kids were praising me, it was good, but I felt like I shouldn't have accepted such praise!
"I should tell the juniors. Among the seniors, they should be especially careful of him."
"Is it really necessary to go that far...?"
In the end, we had to gather them, and Ellen warned them to be careful of Reinhardt, who was like an explosive substance.
Even Ellen agreed.
I really didn't intend to hit him...
In the end.
The attempt to confront Lucynil and Dokdae failed in a bizarre way.
* * *
If it were the original development, the A-class 2nd-year students would have been taming the freshmen as they did when they were freshmen.
However, the current 2nd-year A-class students had become indifferent to such things, and Reinhardt had gone to Lucynil and revealed his face, doing something similar.
In the end.
To spread the warning in a slightly different way, Harry and Ellen gathered the freshmen again.
Instead of the dirty male senior who gathered them for the first time, a calm and composed female senior and a hot-headed male senior who was beaten up by the female senior appeared.
Although they didn't seem to be imposing, everyone was tense because of what they had just seen. "I didn't come here to scold you. I gathered you all here because I have something to tell you, given what happened earlier. I am Harry de Saint-Fouan, from 2nd year A-4. And I'm Ellen from 2nd year A-2. We're not here to confront anyone. And just now, some of you recognized me as Miss Temple, the winner of the Miss Temple contest. And Harry here was recognized by some of you as the winner of the unlimited tournament. We're not here to intimidate you, but to warn you to be careful of someone named Reinhardt. He's someone we've let loose and he's dangerous. Especially you," Harry pointed to Roberto at the far right. "Reinhardt has been lenient with you, so be careful. Remember his face." Summary of previous part of chapter only for context: In this chapter, Harry de Saint-Fouan and Ellen gather a group of students to warn them about a dangerous person named Reinhardt. Harry and Ellen introduce themselves and clarify that they are not there to confront anyone. They mention that some of the students may recognize them as winners of certain contests, but that is not important. The main focus is on warning the students about Reinhardt, who they have let loose and is now a threat. Harry specifically points out Roberto and warns him to be careful as Reinhardt has been lenient with him in the past. The chapter ends with a reminder to remember Reinhardt's face and to be cautious.
