Chapter 130: Second place

Happy Reading~

===========

Even so, they also knew that there was nothing they could do.

To them, their leader, she was no ordinary woman.

If she were an ordinary woman, would it be possible for Liliana to be appointed as student council president?

At most, the person who was much more worthy of the position of student council president was the princess.

But thanks to Liliana, she didn’t have to be the candidate for the next student council president.

In reality, Liliana’s achievements at the academy were no small feat.

Even Liliana, she once managed to fight against students from other continents.

Since then, she has earned the nickname Ice Witch.

"Cough- Please don’t say things like that. I feel like I’m being stared at by friends behind your back." I said, unable to stop myself from faking a cough.

For now, I know from the way Liliana’s friends look at me.

I’m aware that some of them think I’m a nuisance.

Of course, for the past month I was sure that Liliana’s work had been disrupted because of me.

No matter what, the fact that she was the student council president could not be denied.

With that alone, wouldn’t it be impossible for anyone not to feel annoyed?

For 1 month, Liliana, she continued to help me in training my magic.

Initially, I told Liliana not to abandon her duties as student council president.

But she didn’t want to, considering carrying out her duties as student council president was not interesting.

Even Liliana, she once said that she really wanted to leave the OSIS.

But she restrained herself, remembering that there was a woman in the student council.

If she didn’t control this woman, she didn’t know what to do.

And worst of all, Liliana, she was forced to get involved in this woman’s affairs.

Of course, I immediately realized who the woman Liliana was referring to was.

Whatever it is, I have absolutely no intention of interfering in Liliana’s affairs.

If I interfere in Liliana’s affairs, I’m afraid the nobles will inevitably focus their gaze on me.

I have heard, learned that many of the third year students are the sons of Duke level nobles.

It’s just that, I don’t know which one of them truly deserves to be called the strongest.

And now, after I realized my older brother was in the academy.

I suspected that my brother was a member of the student council.

Of course, judging by my brother’s badge, there were more than 5 stars available.

With that alone, it’s not impossible for me to think my brother is one of the talented students.

"Ah. Sorry. I just wanted to tease you a little." for a moment, Liliana’s gaze, couldn’t help but look back.

"Gulp-" having no choice, Liliana’s colleagues, they were forced to avert their gazes.

’Crazy... Absolutely terrible. She’s the worst.’ thought this girl, thinking from the way their leader was looking, it was completely unreasonable.

Even though their leader was not a cruel person, she did not hesitate to punish others.

When someone dares to disturb the student council, it is possible that that person will experience despair.

And now, they felt like they had offended their leader.

Luckily, what they were worried about didn’t happen.

"Then, senior. I’ll go first. See you later." without delay, I chose to leave the place where Liliana was.

I knew, realizing from the way Liliana’s comrades looked at their leader.

It felt like they couldn’t help but be threatened.

"Okay... Let’s meet again later."

Without realizing it, Liliana’s colleagues, they couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

They were happy, happy that I chose to leave their place.

If I stay near Liliana, they don’t know what to do.

’As the saying goes, water and fire do not mix. No matter what happens.’ thought this girl, endlessly thinking that their leader had fallen in love with a man.

Likewise with the three people near this girl, they thought the same as her.

To them, their leader’s actions were a reflection of a girl in love.

But what? They knew it was absolutely impossible for me to be Liliana’s lover.

In the end, my status in the empire is that of a commoner.

With that alone, it would be absolutely impossible for me to marry the daughter of a Duke.

On this continent, Duke is a leading existence.

If not for them, no one knows whether this continent could continue to survive or not.

And worst of all, perhaps in ancient times, the demon race succeeded in invading this continent.

"Now... Prepare a meeting for the following. New rules have been implemented. From today onwards, first and fifth year students are not allowed to leave the academy again."

"We understand."

...

After I returned from where Liliana was, I subconsciously stared at what was happening in front of me.

Don’t know why, but I thought, am I dreaming?

"You guys… What are you doing?"

Really, I can only say this one sentence.

I wondered, wanting to know why my classmates chose to lower their heads?

What have I done?

"Noah... No, Mr. Noah! Please accept our gratitude! It was thanks to you that we managed to get second place!"

’Second place... Ah. I remember. If I’m not mistaken, I heard that the academy wants to give us something. But I don’t know what it is. I hope it can be weapons and physical enhancements.’ I thought, unable to help but realize what was happening.

"Okay... I understand. In essence, you guys are bowing your heads to express your gratitude? But please raise your heads again. I didn’t have the slightest intention of reaching this score. I did this because I had to." obviously, I didn’t mean to tell them to keep their heads down.

In my perspective, my classmates’ behavior felt like I was a bastard.

"No. You have brought us to second place. We are very grateful. Therefore, please feel free to ask us for anything."

Still, no matter how many times I tell them to raise their heads.

My classmates, they continue to express their gratitude non-stop.

"It’s up to you... But remember, I’m not doing this because of class E. But I just don’t have a choice."

"We understand. We will remember everything you say."

Not wanting to delay any further, I finally decided to sit up from my chair.

For now, my goal is that I want to solve my problems from other classes.

From the start, I was in conflict with the class D students.

I sure, thought it was impossible for them to just let me go.


"Everyone, quickly return to your respective places. First, let me tell you all the respective Contribution Points of each class."

"Class A, they got 5,000 Contribution Points."

"Class B, they’re not inferior to class A, a total of 3,500 Contribution Points."

"Class C, they add up to around 1,800 Contribution Points.

"Class D, their number is the same as class C which is 1,800 Contribution Points."

"And for class E, you guys are the most unexpected. You managed to rank the same as class A, with a total of 5,000 Contribution Points."

"Starting this week, the academy has decided to provide you with personal resources. You can now increase your combat strength without having to ask for guidance from others."

"What? Resources? Personal? Is this actually real?" don’t know why, but looking at the expressions of my classmates, they had faces of disbelief.

For them, they did not expect the academy to actually decide to provide them with private resources.

If so, is it appropriate for them to get personal resources every week?

Of course, it was impossible for class E to obtain personal resources from the academy.

However, the fact that class E is filled with students with low talent cannot be denied.

With that alone, it was absolutely impossible for them to be given personal resources for free.

They were confident, suspecting that all of this had something to do with the academy head’s plan.

But what? They can’t do anything.

In the end, we, class E, had managed to obtain second place.

Although our number of Contribution Points is not much different from class A, the resources we obtain are not less.

’Oh... We managed to get resources from the academy. I can’t wait to see what this resource will look like.’ I thought, couldn’t help but imagine what a reward from the academy would be like.

Unfortunately, before I could get lost in my thoughts.

I heard the professor calling me, don’t know why.

"Noah, the academy principal wants you to visit him after class is dismissed. He said he would give you something in the form of a gift."

"I see…" unexpectedly, the student’s expressions, they couldn’t help but feel shocked.

In my classmates’ perspective, being called by the academy principal was an honor

For the students of the Lunar Academy, the head of the academy, he was a mighty figure.

By him calling me, they were sure that I would definitely be given something.

Of course, this was definitely not a lowly gift.

If the academy principal really wanted to give me something, why did he have to meet me personally?

And because of that, their view of me continued to increase endlessly.

In the minds of my classmates, I had become something of a hero.

’Huh... Is this okay? I hope nothing big happens when I meet the academy principal.’ I thought, unable to stop praying that nothing would happen.

I was scared, worried when I met the academy principal.

Like it or not, I couldn’t help but be forced to be asked something like a question.
