Chapter 79 – Episode 79. What Is the Academy Like? (3)
‘No matter how you look at it, they’re really weird. You just don’t know Are they fools?’
Violet couldn’t understand it no matter how she looked at it. The lecture is in full swing, but in fact, the contents of the lecture are not even heard.
Now, Violet’s eyes were on Leopold and Astrid, who were sitting in the front row. Astrid looks out of the window to see if she is not even interested in the lecture today, and Leopold glances at Astrid and then smiles and listens to the lecture again.
Then, Astrid, who was looking out the window, turned his head and looked at Leopold for a moment, then scratched his cheek and then looked out the window again.
Anyone can see that we just like each other.
‘I don’t understand why they said they were doing something like a crown princess competition in the first place.’
Only three of them declared that they would participate in the competition.
Akemilla Ureid.
Emélie von Jorgien.
And myself, Violet de Autria.
Of course, she herself had no intention of directly participating in such an unfunny competition, and although she was always interested, she didn’t have that kind of impression on Akemilla or Emily.
Wouldn’t it be a problem only like this, Violet thought so. If you look to her side now, Akemilla is staring at Astrid with her hateful eyes, and Emily is still listening to her lecture with that confused expression on her face.
She is Akemilla. Although she is a commoner, she is also one of the founding members of the country, so it cannot be said that she does not have influence in the empire to the extent that she will soon become a noble. There’s not even a word about her in Emily.
If those two young ladies think that they were made fun of because they were harassed, the problem will grow from there.
Did Leopold really not know that? He thought so. That clever prince wouldn’t know that.
As I thought about that, the lecture ended before I knew it. I don’t remember any of the contents, but it’s just a matter of going back to the dorm and reading the textbook in moderation.
Anyway, first grade is just that level.
After the lecture, today’s class is over. It was a class after lunch, so I was scolded for enduring it because I was drowsy the whole time.
Violet stretched herself widely and took the book.
‘What are we going to play with tonight?’
This was the biggest concern. Around the time when I had just entered the academy, it was fun because everyone said it was new, but after about two months, there really wasn’t anything. It’s just about taking classes, and I don’t care too much about the upcoming midterm test.
Don’t you do something like a ball at home? Try to make friends with the children of high-ranking dignitaries. Well, there are small orders like this coming in, but even so, it’s useless if you’re not interested.
“Then Astrid, let’s go.”
“Yes?! Again, again… ?”
Yes.
There was that
Violet’s eyes began to sparkle again.
There was an interesting spectacle there, too.
‘How will we do it… Shall I secretly follow you, or openly ask where you are going?’
After a moment’s thought, Leopold took Astrid’s hand and strode across the classroom.
Neither of them would be able to do it if they thought about it further, so Violet decided to just follow them secretly and hurriedly grabbed her bag and followed them.
“Hey, Cadet Violet?”
“… Yes?”
I was about to leave the classroom like that. When Violet turned around at the sudden voice, there was an unfamiliar face.
It was a strange face, but I knew who it was. He was an employee who went around to inform when there was urgent news within the academy.
“What are you doing?”
“They say the parcel has arrived. You know the post office next to the front door? Just bring your ID and come in.”
“A parcel? I have nowhere to come.”
“I don’t know that either. Anyway, I urge you to visit. If you don’t pick it up for more than a week, it will be destroyed, so keep that in mind.”
There is no way this employee knows the identity of the package he doesn’t even know. Violet nodded and looked ahead to chase after Leopold and Astrid.
There was no one.
In the meantime, there was no trace of where Leopold and Astrid had gone.
‘… AC.’
Missed it again It was such a pity that I didn’t get to see that exciting sight in person last time, but I missed it again.
It’s unfortunate, but what can’t be helped is unavoidable. Since it was impossible to search all over the school to find them, Violet licked her lips and turned around.
Now that this has happened, I thought I should go find a package.

“Astrid, are you really aware that you shouldn’t be like this?”
“Yeah, even if a hero doesn’t study… “
Leopold was stunned as he watched Astrid hesitate. The hero couldn’t understand what kind of nonsense nonsense it was that he didn’t have to study.
Heroes must study. It was a long time before unification that even if you were simply good at fighting, you were treated as a hero, and now, rather than being a hero, you have to be well-informed and know all kinds of strategies and tactics.
“Am I right in realizing that I have to become the mother of the empire?”
“That, that… “
Looking at Astrid, whose face was turning red, he couldn’t do that even when he looked down.
It was like that even now. When I saw Astrid, who couldn’t concentrate at all during the lecture, I didn’t know what the hell was thinking, but anyway, it couldn’t be like this, so Leopold took Astrid to the empty classroom as soon as class was over.
Leopold was directly teaching Astrid the contents of the lecture or things like that, and every time Astrid was openly revealing her expression that she was really going to die.
“… I don’t know if you know.”
“What, what do you mean?”
Astrid’s face looked uneasy.
When Leopold saw that face, he suddenly felt strange.
It’s a face that looks anxious somewhere, but it’s also a face that looks like it’s somehow scared.
Are you scared?
Heaven’s Astrid?
At my point?
You said you were scared?
Something, it was a strange feeling. It should be said that it was a feeling of joy, but it was a strange feeling that a corner of his chest was slightly tickled.
However, it was not the kind of emotion that could be felt in this atmosphere, so Leopold suppressed it tightly.
“You have to finish the word.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Leopold was taken aback. Leopold was so taken aback that he instantly forgot what he was trying to say.
“Now next month there is an interim test. It’s an official test where grades are also announced, but if this continues, the honor of the Grand Duchess of Mitterien will be wiped out. Do you know?”
“I-I’m the type who is strong in real life… “
“Stop talking nonsense.”
It’s true… Astrid’s cheeks puffed up.
“Why don’t you know that Astrid’s grades are enough to earn the academy’s ridicule if it weren’t for the title of the daughter of the Grand Duchess of Mitterien?”
Leopold sighed as he touched his forehead. No matter how much it is, speaking of the Grand Duchess of Mitterien, it is a place famous for its honor even in Einhafen.
However, even with that kind of honor, at this academy, if the young lady said that her test scores were hundreds of times faster at the bottom than the top, it was bound to be ridiculed.
That was the situation now. If Astrid went on like this, it was a definite future.
A future that is not welcome even for Leopold.
“So I’m going to give you private lessons. Is something wrong?”
【Yes… There’s no way… 】
‘Okay… There’s no way there isn’t.’
To be honest, Astrid couldn’t help but be unaware that there would be a big problem with her grades if she continued like this. I can’t understand anything I hear, and I don’t have the will to want to know, so I’ve already listened to lectures for two months, but nothing remains in my head.
‘I think it’s because of you… ‘
【Why is that because of me? Do you not have subjectivity, do you.]
Astrid was originally a man.
Astrid had never forgotten that fact.
However, Astrid was realizing that this situation was obviously strange.
From the beginning, when I came to this academy, my purpose was to return to the original world, that was one of them. He’s engaged, he’s married, and he somehow buys himself time to evade, and in the meantime finds a way to return to his original world.
And if that doesn’t work, he somehow breaks off the engagement with Leopold.
That was the purpose.
But where did that purpose go now?
What is Astrid doing now to achieve that goal?
Leopold, who had previously agreed with her to break up her marriage, is now showing her hot eyes toward her, and Astrid, who should try to break up her engagement with him-
Even though it was said that it was estrus magic, it attacked Leopold and licked his sweat.
‘It’s true that I’m swept away by your emotions!’
【Don’t be ridiculous. I’m just beyond consciousness. Your feelings are yours, I don’t know why you’re blaming me. Anyway, it’s like a prostitute.]
‘Ta, don’t call me a prostitute!’
It was Astrid who was getting more and more embarrassed.
