It was nice to co to the academy, but I was never told what the problem was or how it should be solved.
I have to raise my Villainess points! With this mindset, I followed Duke-sama’s excuse and ca to the school.
…Perhaps Duke-sama fooled into coming?
Besides, Gilles told that there was still a conflict between my faction and Liz’s faction, but I heard that new rules had already been made.
I wondered if Duke-sama is deceiving after all…. But he said it was my big day to be a villainess…
Wasn’t Duke-sama supposed to be graduating from the school in the first place?
Actually, had he graduated already? The Magic Academy was a five-year school.
All kinds of questions popped into my head. I walked through the school gate, puzzled.
Gilles and Big Brother Albert were back at ho.
It was a strange sight to see Duke-sama and going to school together in the first place.
“It’s Alicia-sama.”
As soon as I entered the school, I was uncomfortable with the way the students were looking at .
What in the world had happened while I was in Ravaal Kingdom? I lack information.
I had never been called “Alicia-sama” before. The response I get had always been, “Hey, Alicia Williams is here,” and a look of disgust.
But now I no longer get that look from them. Rather, it was like they were happy I was here….
“…Hey, Duke-sama.”
“Yes?”
“I would like to ask you sothing.”
“…Do you want to change location?”
Just as I was about to say, “Yes, please,” Duke-sama put his hand on my waist and used transfer magic.
Hey! Don’t do such things so suddenly!
I ditated, unprepared for what was about to happen.
“The student council office?”
The next ti I opened my eyes, it was a place I had seen before.
It seed like a waste of magic power to use magic to move around the school, but with Duke-sama’s magic power, this was no problem at all.
With that thought in mind, I turned my gaze towards Duke-sama.
Duke-sama was so close.
I could see his handso face. …If I were to be born again, I wanted to be a beautiful boy.
If I were this good-looking, I would be approached by all kinds of won.
It was a great honor to be chosen by Duke-sama. It was a strange thing to think about, but I felt like I had proved my worth by being chosen by him.
To the outside world, I may be ruining his reputation by being a “Villainess”.
“What’s wrong?”
Perhaps it was because I was staring too intently at Duke-sama, but Duke-sama looked at strangely.
“No, nothing.”
With that, I pulled myself away from Duke-sama’s arms.
“Um…I want to ask you a lot of questions, so can I ask them all at once?”
“Yeah, ask whatever you want.”
“Was I tricked into coming here? I don’t think there is a war between Alicia and Liz faction. I’m sure it was resolved while I was in Ravaal Kingdom. I was convinced of this when I stepped into the school. The dislike that the students had for was gone. In fact, it was more like a welcoming atmosphere.”
As I said this, I realized sothing.
…I wondered if that’s why he said that he was preparing for a sunny day as a Villainess.
Was it so that I would be hated once again in this school…
“You noticed?”
Duke-sama grinned, smiling like a boy thinking up an evil sche.
I sighed loudly in my mind. This prince was a cut above the rest.
“…It’s not too much trouble for you to do it, right?”
“Thank you for the complint, my lady.”
Ah, Jeez!
Duke-sama really rubs off on when he was joking around.
It was frustrating, but I had no choice but to take Duke-sama’s suggestion.
“So, what do you want to do?”
“I’m not going to tell you that just yet.”
What a pain in the neck!
I pursed my lips and puffed out my cheeks at Duke-sama’s words.
Co to think of it, Duke-sama was a an man. I couldn’t believe I was being rolled around in the palm of his hand…
“I an, why is Duke-sama still at the academy? Didn’t you graduate…?”
“Well, [Graduation] is a bit ambiguous at this school.”
I didn’t know that.
I didn’t know anything about it, but when I was thirteen, I also skipped a grade and entered the Magic Academy. I assud that I would study at the academy from the age of 15 to 20, graduate, and beco a top-notch student.
But then, “graduation” was so vague!
When I was puzzled, Duke-sama politely told .
“It is indeed a five-year program, but that was not the case…those who want to learn can still stay.”
“…It’s kind of unclear, I guess.”
“You can look at it that way, but you are able to study to your heart’s content.”
Well, it was only an academy for the aristocracy, people who had no problem with employnt or money.
Was it like combining a university and a graduate school or sothing?
All I could say was, “It’s a strange place, isn’t it?”.
“Well, you can co and go here anyti you want, so many people visit even after graduation. It’s also a place for the nobility to socialize.”
“…Thinking about it, I’m sure Duke-sama has probably never learned anything at this academy even before he entered.”
A prince who was too good shouldn’t have to attend this place.
“I’m in control of this school, so I’ll co back to check on you even after graduation.”
…huh?
The IQ3 Alicia in my mind tilted her head.
He was not the student council president or anything, but he was in charge of the school?
“Umm, what do you an?”
“You will know.”
Duke-sama’s happy smile fooled .
Confused, I followed Duke-sama out of the student council room.
Later, when I learned that Duke-sama was the president of this school, which didn’t surprise too much, and it answered so of my questions.
