Chapter 229
TL: Zimmings
“It’s the sa guardian star as the founding emperor of the empire. It has never co out…….”
Mina asked with her eyes wide open.
“What is the God’s star?”
“It is also called the star of the hero. It is a star of great heroes, such as the founding emperor and the legendary knight who subjugated the dragon king.”
“Aha…….”
When Mina nodded her head, the people around her got excited.
“It’s a huge thing! If their guardian star is the God’s star, they are considered a hero as soon as they are born!”
“Hm, I have a different opinion.”
“Huh?”
“It’s just that we were born at the sa ti. No one can be sure how a child born with the God’s star will grow up. Perhaps a child born with the God’s star may have lived under the pressure of a sense of duty, ‘I am destined to be born as a hero, so I have to live as a hero’. So I don’t think it’s that great.”
Mina muttered with the tip of the fork in her mouth, and the surroundings beca quiet.
Every world has its own rules.
According to Chul-soo, there are customs in his world and Mina’s, such as [respecting elders], [offering ancestral rites on holidays], and [dressing in black at funerals].
Those customs are already like the law there, and it couldn’t be questioned.
Of course, there are such things in our world as well, but Mina, who ca from another world, pointed out those things here. And the point is-
“You’re talking very strangely.”
People won’t accept her words.
A few students looked at Mina with an antagonistic expression.
“What Miss Mina just said sounds like we’re shifting our duties to you.”
“A child with a star of God enjoys rights that are different from those of ordinary children. For example, Ligetoris, the legendary knight who subjugated the Dragon King, has the status of a commoner, but was educated at the royal palace as soon as he was born.”
“That’s right. Isn’t it strange for those who have rights to shoulder duties?”
As the atmosphere turned strangely, Mina widened her eyes.
“No. I don’t an that……. I an people are all special without the guardian star too.”
“What?”
“Everyone is special, even if they don’t have the Star of God.”
“Huh?”
“It’s not , but Miss Sandra, Alan, Tenor, and Mary Jane, who knows that the one who enjoys the right should also bear the duty… and Eline is also very special.”
The surroundings beca quiet again. Mina smiled with a look of embarrassnt.
“Is it correct to call it this way? Oh, I’m not used to the title. In my world, miss or sir is a bit awkward.”
People forgot the answer and looked at Mina in a frenzy, and Sandra quickly spoke with an apologetic look on her face.
“That’s right. I’m glad you rembered my na.”
Then the others nodded hastily. A large man nad Alan said scratching his red ears.
“I haven’t even introduced myself yet, do you know my na?”
“I heard it before entering the cafeteria. And, Miss Eline…? Ugh, I’m embarrassed to say it as well.”
Mina smiled as she said it, rubbing her cheek with both hands.
The Mina in this life is no different from the Mina in my mory.
Even if we resent her at first, if we talk, they will know. This child is a good one and had faith. And her beliefs are unique that everyone is fascinated by this child’s light.
After that, the conversation revolved around Mina.
People tried to tell Mina, who didn’t know much about this world, and the atmosphere was friendly the whole ti.
After the al was over, we decided to have tea ti.
“Let’s go with Leblaine, okay?”
I shook my head and got up.
“I have to prepare for evaluation in the afternoon.”
“Evaluation?”
Then Alan answered for .
“Every freshman will have an evaluation and aptitude test. Students in the other grades are split into classes based on last sester’s grades, while freshn are split in classes this afternoon.”
“Ahh, Then I can’t interfere……. Okay, let’s have tea together later. The lemon tea Alan brought from ho is so delicious.”
Mina smiled and waved, and I left the cafeteria. Eline followed from behind. As I left the cafeteria, I turned to Emily.
“Hey, didn’t the kids drink tea together? It’s an opportunity to build relationship.”
“I will also prepare the afternoon evaluation.”
“For it’s because of the Elysiano Class, but you’re different.”
To enter the Elysiano Class, I must have excellent grades this sester.
In this academy, there are tis when the test is held in only so classes. That is why I had to get good grades in the afternoon evaluation by all ans and be assigned to class A. Eline walked close to with a nonchalant expression.
“Anyway, I’d love to join a good class too. A commoner with special admission like has to go ho right away if I don’t et the requirent.”
“…….”
She squinted her eyes, I looked at Eline and asked, “What?”
I snorted and continued,
“Are you worried that you’ll be alone?”
“No! I just don’t like that girl. What is special about her…….?”
Eline looked at and smiled bitterly.
“Mina is a girl who is easily liked. She says what the other person wants to hear, without a single lie. She’s different from .”
Eline stopped walking. After looking around for a while, the girl confird that no one was there and opened her mouth.
“But why are you doing that?”
“What do you an?”
“Why can’t you say a word in front of that kid? You’re like soone who lost before fighting!”
“What should I say to her? Mina didn’t say anything wrong, and she didn’t even start a fight. Rather, she is showing interest in . However, if I beco vigilant and attack, I will only beco a strange person. If I get criticized in the place where I ca to build connections, that would be my defeat.”
“I an……!”
Eline bit her lips.
“Nevermind.”
“Eline.”
As I grabbed her wrist, she moved my hand away and looked at .
“You’re still sowhat a nice girl, but I’m not. That’s why I don’t want to have a weak friend who dies for others!”
“…….”
“Did Mina ever said you’re her hero? For , my hero…… it was a nine-year-old lady who reached out to a child abandoned by her father!”
Emiline, who was full of anger, pushed away and cried.
“How could you do this! I will erase my hero from mory!”
The child who shouted left and ran to the dormitory. I was stunned.
‘No, who said I would die…’
I looked at Eline’s back, sighed, and headed to the dormitory.
***
In the afternoon, I changed into my training uniform and headed to the training ground, looking for Eline among the noisy freshn.
She couldn’t find Eline until the test.
From quite a distance from the students, I could see a glimpse of ivory-colored hair.
‘Eline!’
I quickly approached the child.
“Eline!”
“…….”
“I’ve been looking for you. Where have you been? For today’s evaluation, I had to form a group, but I couldn’t even team up with the students because I was looking for you.”
“…….”
“Let’s hurry up and form a group-”
However, the atmosphere surrounding Eline was strange.
Unlike lunchti, the students looked at Eline with hostile eyes.
“What happened?”
Eline did not answer. Alan, a boy who was a little further away from us call instead.
“Leblaine.”
“Yes?”
“Co here. I’ll put you in our group.”
“……?”
“Ah, You say you are the sa age as Mina right? I’m three years older than you. Co quickly. Don’t deal with that madman.”
“What do you an?”
As I frowned, Alan snorted and looked at Eline.
“She’s arguing with Mina out of nowhere.”
Then Alan’s group of girls sarcastically imitated Eline.
“You say that everyone is special, I think you’re wrong. I know you’re trying to convince people with nice words, but it’s irresponsible in a class-based society. You didn’t deserve to say that as soone who enjoys special privileges.”
Did Eline say that?
I hurriedly looked at Eline, she kept her mouth shut and looked straight ahead.
‘This fool!’
In the end, it seems that he couldn’t bear it and went and poured it all on Mina.
But it was a disgrace in the eyes of others. The quarrel was clear from what I heard.
Mina was a child who was easily liked. She seed to have beco friends with most of the freshn after lunch. But in this situation, if she argued with Mina, the center of the group, she will inevitably be seen as an enemy.
Laughter erupted from all around.
“Isn’t it funny? Is it the pride of commoners?”
“She’s doing everything so that she can to stand out.”
Her gaze was sharper than when she was in seminary.
‘The timing is not good.’
Now is the ti to form a group. If there is a public enemy at such a ti, it is perfect for entertainnt.
If Eline, the target of ridicule, doesn’t get through this ti well, she’ll have a hard ti until graduation.
It wasn’t just a matter of relationship. This school has a lot of group evaluations. It will be difficult to get good grades if she becos an outcast like this.
Moreover, for Eline, who was admitted through the special admission for commoners, grades are very important.
‘In a situation like this, Mina should sort it out, but… Mina hasn’t co to the training ground yet.’
Alan beckoned to .
“Co here. Let’s do it together. Should our group na be the children of fate?”
Then laughter erupted around .
“That’s a good na to catch the professor’s eyes.”
“Ah, that’s unfair!”
The atmosphere was pleasant and everyone laughed except for Eline.
“Leblaine, co over here quickly. I have to hand over the list of mbers-”
“I’m already in a group.”
“What?”
I took Eline’s hand.
“I’ll go with Eline.”
“… You’d regret it. Everyone made groups of five or more.”
“It doesn’t matter if there are less than ten mbers. I’m going with Eline.”
“Ah, really? Then try it.”
Alan twisted his lips as if he was offended.
The other students looked a little perplexed, but Alan clapped and shouted.
“The child of fate over there can face us all even with one useless person, so let’s face them with all our might!”
His gaze, which had been on Eline, turned to this ti.
Eline whispered to with a puzzled expression.
“This fool! You ca to this school to make connections!”
“We should clean up our friend’s shit.”
“How could a noble lady said such vulgar words……!”
“Alright. Let’s go make a list of crew mbers.”
When I urged, Eline hesitated but followed to the desk on one side of the training ground.
I put Eline’s and my na side by side.
Eline’s eyes widened when she saw the group’s na.
[Max’s gang]
It was the na our beggars were called.
Before long, Mina ran to the training ground alongside the evaluation bell. The girl, who had wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, asked with a bright smile.
“Am I late?”
“You’re right on ti.”
A deep voice ca from behind Mina’s back. He was a professor who had just entered the training ground.
The professor said, “Go to your seat.” while reading the list of mbers on the simple desk.
“Mina and the children?”
“Yes, teacher! It’s us!”
When Mina raised her hand, the professor burst into laughter.
“You must be the professor.”
When Mina made an embarrassed expression, a burst of laughter erupted from the training ground.
“This year’s class placent assessnt is to rescue a hostage in a moving barrier. Hostages will be living beings. So, if you break the barrier recklessly, the hostage won’t be safe, okay? A comprehensive evaluation is made based on the ti it takes to save the hostages, the state of the hostages, the number of hostages rescued, and the level of barriers broken.”
As he waved his hand in the air, a huge hourglass appeared. Eventually, the shape of the training ground changed to a maze-like shape.
“The mana restriction will be lifted only for this evaluation. Let’s get started.”
That ans we could use magic tools.
Alan was the first to untie the magic tools on both his wrists and ankles. Thud! With a sound, the magic tool fell to the floor, and a trendous amount of mana shook the ground. Mina said to Alan.
“It was really a test to save the hostages as you said.”
“Of course. My brother told so. First of all, that purple circle has the highest score. It’s a tough barrier. We’re only going for that purple one.”
“How do we break the barrier?”
“All we have to do is hit the arrow perfectly in the center of the barrier. However, we couldn’t know where the centre was for sure, and the barrier is moving, so it will be difficult to destroy.”
“Huh? Isn’t that the center? There’s a dark color. And-”
“What?”
Mina climbed up the wall of the maze and aid the bow she got before the evaluation started at the barrier.
“I’m a forr archer!”
Hearing Mina’s story, the training ground beca noisy.
Finding the center of the barrier is impossible unless they fully understand the magic formula.
The barriers used for training at Odis Academy are even more difficult. Even the professor looked at Mina with a surprised face.
Mina fired an arrow.
“Ah! it went on the wrong spot. It’s harder than I thought-”
Bang-!!
A condensed divine power and the barrier that Mina’s arrow deviated from collided. Precisely at the center of the barrier.
“Leblaine……!”
“Miss Leblaine!”
Alan and Sandra stared at in astonished.
‘The center of the barrier, it’s not sothing only she can see.’
I smiled brightly.
‘Besides.’
The limit of my divine power usage was lifted.
[Hey, kid. I’m going stronger this ti!]
[It’s like a ga event! Oh oh-! Is that an item drop?]
[Master, we must subdue it from above. Let’s go.]
The three devils helped .
As soon as the first barrier was broken, seniors appeared in the audience around the training ground. At the top were the people of the Elysiano class.
Isaac and Henry show thumbs up at .
Eline looked at with a surprised look.
“How did you……!”
“You said I was your hero. A hero should be like this.”
I smiled and said.
