The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 42: classes

At the end of the ceremony, to which I did not pay attention, we went directly to our class, which was the largest of the academy, with all the comforts and facilities that a student could ask for.

I separated from Elena and my doppelganger and went to my seat that was far from them, in a corner of the classroom.

This hall is also the one that has as its first priority the top of the hierarchy that everyone here wants to reach, since only from this hall will be drawn the true representatives of the kingdom.

In fact, there were five class in total to be potential representatives of the kingdom, but only fifty people will be chosen to represent the kingdom.

After this year and after we graduate the place we pray to is not a controlled environment like the academy in fact it is a place where if you fail, you die.

So, although fifty sounds like a lot, in reality it is not the minimum necessary because most of them will not be able to get very far and although more would be better, the kingdom has to concentrate its resources on the most talented, so it would be inefficient to have more than 50 with that number and they are already stretching things.

In addition, the other classrooms have the possibility to enter the A class and vice versa. Only those who are in the Alpha class at the end are chosen to be representatives of the kingdom.

At the end of the year, a final academy tournament is held, where the hierarchy will be decided and will give the possibility to those who could not secure a place in the A class, to become representatives of the kingdom.

The tournament where you will challenge someone from your field in a fight according to their specialties. That is the last chance, but that does not concern me, since I am in class A from the very beginning.

Of course, securing a place in this Class from the beginning has advantages in acquiring resources.

But in the event that in the entrance examinations I was not highly evaluated and had ended up in one of the other four classes, I would have taken advantage of one of the academy’s regular promotion events.

In fact, at the end of each month, not counting the first one, the instructors evaluate you and together with the results of the events there is a chance that you will be demoted or promoted.

So all the high-ranking nobles who entered by recommendation and status will be demoted little by little, and the talented among the commoners will be moved up.

At the end of the year, only the truly talented would remain.

Obviously, they’re not just looking for strength. They also need other professions and support things, but those kinds of people have their own way of being evaluated.

But honestly this kingdom is and its surroundings are very poor in that sort of thing and you would hardly come out anyone decent in these fields.

As for the classes, as is obvious, the best instructors are reserved for the A class, but they are not unfair to the rest of the classes. This academy has a system that in , only classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are general; the other days are free choice.

Mages go to classes for mages and warriors go to classes that are for warriors and there the other classes can be combined.

the reason why not all classes are specialized to begin with is because the kingdom or the instructors believe that versatility is best.

The general classes serve to improve teamwork and so on, and although there is a restriction such as the Growth talent.

It would be good that a mage with some basics in physical ability can save himself in a dangerous situation, and a warrior with magical knowledge can more easily fight against mages and even cast his own magic to save himself.

Therefore, there are only two days of specialization and the rest is together, because something important is also teamwork, and if they divided the roles always, there could not be a good team.

All that was taken into consideration by the instructors and the kingdom when creating their study plan.

As for the free choice classes, no one forces you to do anything, you can make any choice, no matter how illogical it may be, everyone chooses their own path to follow.

If you are a warrior and suddenly want to learn magic, it doesn’t matter, but in the end if it slows you down, it can only be your fault.

It’s a place where if you fail, you fall and lose. It’s a competition to be stronger.

For some reason I realized that it’s something that is considered natural in this world as if being strong is something you would instinctively seek.

It is something that all beings in this world have ingrained, as if it were a natural law, to be stronger.

If it wasn’t for my dreams, I would have stayed in the duchy enjoying all the luxuries, not getting involved in all this.

But because I cannot do this, I am being swept away by the waves that were being created.

Maybe in my previous life, I couldn’t avoid it because of the goddess who left me no choice, but this time I decided it myself, and the moment I got this legacy there was no turning back, still, I don’t regret anything.

By this time, I already took the whole situation as normal and, even if I don’t like it, I have to follow this game at least for now.

..

So the minutes passed and Eira kept giving me hateful looks. It was so intense that everyone had noticed it, including Elena and Alice, who at this moment was walking in the direction of my doppelganger...wait Alice

”shit”.

Immediately I concentrated I searched for the feeling I had previously felt when practicing with the Doppelgänger and was able to see the world from the different point of view of a few seconds ago, and I could clearly hear what Alice was talking about.

”Big sister, who is that weird guy? I saw him standing next to you earlier.”

’Alice, that’s me,’ is what I wanted to say, but I didn’t know how to tell Alice about what I’m going to do. So, for now, I have no choice but to....

”He’s a bodyguard my father put at my side. You know how overprotective he is. Don’t worry about him and treat him like he doesn’t exist.”

’I’m sorry, Alice. Forgive this sinful soul who lied to you and grant it your forgiveness.’

Even with remorse, I had no choice but to lie to her temporarily, as for now it was too early to tell her many things.

When our relationship progresses enough and I am mentally prepared I will tell her.

”Miss Alice remember the conversation we had previously.”

”uh!?, sister why are you talking like that...oh!, sorry miss Seraphina I was being rude, I was just happy to see an old friend”.

”don’t worry about it miss Alice in fact I was also glad to see a friend here, let’s talk later if the opportunity arises”.

”y-yes I’m sorry I came unannounced, I hope if there’s a chance to talk to you, alone later.”

”of course.”

I had already explained to her not to talk to me so much at the academy. For the sake of appearances, we would have to talk little or that was the excuse I told him.

However she came to me right away, I don’t know whether to be happy or not, but well I’ll make sure she gets it right later, along with a fair compensation...hueheueheueheue.

And the main reason I don’t want him to approach me is because of my Doppelgänger, While he can converse without my intervention, his dialogues are simple and if it’s a complicated topic, I wouldn’t know how to act.

So I will avoid, even if it hurts my heart, to have contact with Alice...,

Luckily, our seats are not close, so besides moments like this before the class starts, I won’t have opportunities to talk to her much.

On the other hand, I had used my influence (his father) to pull some strings and her dorm room was next to mine.

Incidentally, I used the same influence to get Elena to share a room with me. Abuse of authority techniques are my specialty and I never tire of using them whenever I can.

..

.

People were arriving and before I knew it, the classroom was full. The last to arrive was coincidentally the person sitting next to me.

I was excited and expected her to be a beautiful girl with whom I can have a sideways romance like in romantic comedies, but what greeted me was...

”damn!.”

’Why, world, just why are you doing this to me, was it because I was too shallow and only wanted pretty girls in my harem, what did I do to deserve this?’

And remembering that the positions were assigned and I had no choice but to be by this person’s side until the end of the year, it made me regret my fate even more

Unless either of us descended from the classroom, things could be different. Unfortunately, according to my memories, I know that she won’t do it and I obviously won’t either.

So all that’s left is to resign myself and accept my bad luck of having this person by my side.

’Why does misfortune haunt me? ’

Ever since I arrived in the capital, I haven’t stopped getting involved with girls I shouldn’t get involved with.

’Is it some kind of punishment?’

With frustration. it only remains for me to say Goodbye to the ideal romance I imagined with my companion next door ಥ_ಥ.
