5.
Meanwhile, at that time.
After leaving the dean’s office, Ulan returned his cloak to the guard who had blocked his entry earlier. Then, just as I was about to move towards the dormitory.
“hi. “Are you okay for a moment?”
Someone blocked his path.
Neatly ironed school uniform. He was a young man with gray hair and a sad look. Then, something caught Ulan’s attention.
‘Purple tie.’
That means 3rd grade.
As I was taking out the information I had stored in my head, the young man stretched out his hand with a grinning face.
“nice to meet you. “I’m Mond Parcheka, an officer of the Arsene Student Council.”
“Ulan.”
He asked me to shake his hand, so I agreed.
But when Ulan stretched out his hand, Mond withdrew his hand in the blink of an eye.
what? Didn’t he ask for a handshake?
Ulan tilted his head. At that time, Mond spoke to her again with a smiling face.
“At first glance, I heard you passed the entrance exam with top honors. Is that true?”
“It just happened to be like that.”
“Wow, it was real. “That’s amazing.”
After a few trivial words of conversation.
Mond revealed the reason for speaking.
“The reason I came here today is because I have something to tell you about tomorrow’s entrance ceremony.”
“Entrance ceremony?”
“Yes, the Arsene Student Council gives a congratulatory speech welcoming new students at the entrance ceremony every year. And there is a tradition where the top student passes a congratulatory speech as a representative of the freshmen.”
After answering, he handed me something.
It was a document packed in a paper bag.
“This is the congratulatory speech I will give at the student council tomorrow. “You can refer to this when writing your survey.”
Letters written densely on white paper.
As Ulan glared at him, Mond burst into laughter.
“Haha, there’s nothing to feel burdened about. Because it’s just an ordinary congratulatory speech and a visitation speech. “I just think of it as saying a few words in front of the students.”
Right after finishing the short encouragement.
Mond turned around.
“Then I made it clear, so please excuse me. “See you tomorrow at the entrance ceremony!”
Mond disappears quickly.
Ulan thought as he watched him.
‘What a strange guy.’
It was worth it.
Mond smiled throughout the conversation, but he didn’t actually smile at all.
Above all, there was not a single hint of kindness in his eyes. Rather, only an emotion close to disgust was shown. He is like the professor Direc I saw yesterday.
‘Rather than that, it’s a speech.’
I don’t know what a congratulatory speech or a speech is, but I know what a speech is.
Even in the grasslands, it was often done to boost the morale of warriors before going on a hunt or a large-scale battle.
‘but······.’
That is, after all, a battlefield speech.
It will be different from the speech given at the entrance ceremony.
Is that why?
Even though I received the congratulatory speech script in advance, I had no idea how to write the return speech.
A time when I was walking with worries.
“hmm?”
Just then, someone suitable for seeking help in this direction came into view.
Unlike other students who gathered in groups of twos and threes to chat, a girl with black hair squatted alone in a shaded area.
It was Noah.
6.
Sunny weather with the sun shining.
Noah waited eagerly for morning to come.
There is only one reason.
Because today was the first morning after entering the dormitory.
‘The morning before the entrance ceremony.’
Students come out to the square one by one.
Curiosity about unfamiliar environments. And to see my classmates who will be attending the academy with me.
Noah thought so too.
Because she had a purpose.
‘First you have to make friends.’
Before coming to this world.
Noah has failed at school.
Of course it’s not her fault. She stayed alone in the corner of the classroom and was unlucky enough to be noticed by children playing.
Soon after that, hell began.
A painful memory that I don’t even want to think about.

——————
She decided that the reason for this was her inability to make friends properly at the beginning of the semester.
As the memories of that time became traumatized, Noah became obsessed with the need to somehow make friends.
‘So originally, I was planning on getting to know my roommate first…’
I thought that if we were classmates sharing the same room, we would become friends much faster than others.
But Noah’s prediction was wrong.
『Don’t talk to me carelessly.』
Belkina Rudishant.
She is the daughter of Marquis Rudishant and becomes Noah’s roommate. She, with hair as red as her sweet apples, glared at Noah with her disgusting eyes and said,
『Don’t even come next to me. Instead, just cut off that sinister hair. Because the curse may spread.』
There are two reasons for hatred.
It is known that he is of barbarian origin. And the other thing was because of Noah’s hair color.
Jet-black hair resembling the night sky.
In the empire, there is a superstition that hair like this is inauspicious and brings death.
Noah sighed.
‘······Should I at least dye my hair?’
Even though that didn’t seem like it would change Belkina’s heart.
Although the first button failed, Noah did not give up. Still, you can make friends in the square. Because that kind of kid isn’t the only one in the dormitory.
But even this went wrong.
“excuse me······.”
“Let’s go somewhere else and talk.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
Students who avoid talking to each other.
Some students even moved their seats. As if he hated being in the same space as Noah.
And the result.
Noah couldn’t make a single friend. It was because everyone avoided her.
“Haaa.”
A heavy sigh came out.
Noah, squatting in the corner, looked blankly at the sun-filled square. A bright and warm place, unlike the shade she is currently in.
Sunny and shaded. Today, the boundary felt especially clear. Noah looked at the border with a gloomy face.
‘What on earth did I do wrong…’
It was a time when I was trying to swallow my sad feelings.
The voices of some students were heard.
“Hey, don’t stare at me for nothing.”
“And what if the curse spreads?”
“I’m really annoyed.”
“Why did a kid like that get accepted?”
A look of disdain pouring towards Noah.
A line has already emerged between the two.
This is a very bad sign.
Once a line is drawn, no one wants to cross it.
Even if someone outside the line is bullied, everyone just watches from beyond the line.
Yes, just like I did in the previous world.
‘Am I not allowed to do this here?’
All kinds of negative thoughts run through my head.
A depressing feeling that envelopes your body.
As the sad feeling weighed heavily on his shoulders, Noah’s eyes gradually lost focus.
When I buried my face in the lap I was hugging.
Damn it!
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard.
The square suddenly became quiet. The footsteps got closer and closer. When I reflexively raised my head, I saw feet coming towards me.
The sound of footsteps crossing the border.
There was no hesitation in his advance.
When Noah realized who the owner of the footsteps was and opened his eyes wide, a familiar voice knocked on his ears.
“Noah.”
Red-brown hair and bright red eyes.
A man who walks around exposing his muscular upper body. Currently, the person she can rely on the most here. It was Ulan.
“Why are you in that place?”
“Oh, that’s me…”
Maybe it’s because I’m embarrassed, but I can’t speak well.
Noah bit his lip slightly. Then he answered while slightly avoiding Ulan’s gaze.
“Just like that. Because it’s comfortable here… oh!”
However, I couldn’t continue speaking until the end.
This is because Ulan snatched his wrist. A body that rises spontaneously, drawn by a strong force.
“Follow me. I have something to say.”
It suddenly became like I was just hanging around.
Embarrassed, Noah tried to escape, but it was futile. His mighty strength was comparable to that of the giants.
Meanwhile, Ulan strides forward. He was heading towards the square. Meanwhile, Noah heard whispering in his ear.
“So, did you hear that?”
“That barbarian destroyed the golem with his bare hands.”
“what? “Really?!”
“They say that in the big fight, all the opponents were sent to the hospital. “I heard that the one with the most injuries needs to recuperate for two months?”
Mainly things done by Ulan.
As the story spread, students slowly moved away from Ulan. In fact, the main character of the story continued his steps without any concern.
Some time after that.
The two arrived in the middle of the square.
“Why do you have to go to a place like this…?”
“Because this place gets the most sunlight.”
An extremely simple reason.
Afterwards, Ulan tried to get to the point of bringing Noah. But Noah’s question went a little further than that.
“Weren’t you called into the dean’s office earlier? “With Delia Arpen.”
“It did.”
“What were you called for?”
“To get permission to take off my clothes and go around.”
“······yes?”
what is this sound?
When Noah asked with puzzled eyes, Ulan explained the whole story. From what happened during the special exam to what happened in the dean’s office.
After a while, after the explanation is over.
Noah shouted in surprise.
“So, you said you would grant wishes?! “That too from Dean Diphlin himself?”
“okay.”
Hearing the overly plain answer, Noah hurriedly traced his previous memories.
‘Was there an event like this?’
As far as she knew, there wasn’t.
To begin with, Difflin is a person of little importance to the Academy. She appears briefly as the star witch, Delia’s mentor, but that’s all she is.
‘Or is it a variable that arose when Ulan entered school?’
It was very likely.
Then there is nothing Noah can do.
A variable is literally a variable.
Also, it is said that the wish ticket has already been used, so it is probably just a one-time event.
That was when I was organizing my thoughts.
Something caught Noah’s eye. It was a paper bag that Ulan was holding.
“huh? “But what is that?”
“That’s why I called you.”
Ulan explained what happened with Mond.
After a while, when the explanation was finished, Noah nodded. As if I knew roughly what it was.
‘Ah, it’s an entrance ceremony event.’
This is an event that Noah also knows about.
A hidden event that only occurs when you enter the academy as a commoner as the top student.
However, because the conditions for its occurrence were quite difficult, Noah could not experience it directly. I just saw it on the strategy bulletin board.
‘A turning point that diverges from the existing student council.’
Arsene Academy’s current student council is made up of children from prestigious noble families.
As they have high pride as nobles, if commoners show themselves superior to nobles, they will try to sabotage them in any way possible.
‘······Childish.’
They are truly childish people.
I don’t think about winning with skill.
Anyway, if things go according to the scenario she knows, the disruption to the student council will begin with the congratulatory speech.
‘He will probably give a congratulatory message that is completely different from the one he gave to Ulan.’
The disruption continues thereafter.
When the field trip begins, create a distracting atmosphere on purpose.
In other words, the purpose of the student council is to humiliate students in front of their classmates and professors.
‘But if you respond well…’
If you complete the field trip smoothly without falling prey to the student council’s tricks, you will receive a reward.
Because I caught the eye of the person who would become the next student council president, I got the opportunity to be invited to the new student council that will be launched next year.
‘I also think there were treasures that could only be obtained by becoming a member of the student council.’
I couldn’t quite remember what kind of treasure it was, but anyway, this was an opportunity.
Noah was motivated.
“great. “I will help you.”
“Really?”
“sure! “Ulan and I are friends, right?”
The word ‘friend’ had special power.
Ulan said with a grin.
“Thank you for your help.”
“yes! “Just trust me.”
Noah answered bravely.
I will put my pride as a gamer of
Noah promised that.
So the two worked hard on writing the script until evening.
7.
And the next day.
The morning of the entrance ceremony.
As soon as the dormitory curfew was lifted, Noah went to visit Ulan. She was there for the final rehearsal before the entrance ceremony began.
“hello. This is Ulan Bator, representing Arsene’s freshman team. She truly appreciates the hospitality of her professors and seniors.”
With Noah in front of him.
Ulan read the contents of the visit line by line with a serious expression.
“Although our origins and status are different, we are all at a new starting point, so we will strive to strengthen our friendship and focus on our studies.”
While continuing the field trip.
Suddenly Ulan closed his mouth.
“huh? “Why do you stop talking?”
“I only memorized up to this point.”
“yes?”
“I can’t remember anything more than that.”
“······.”
The moment I heard those words.
Noah realized something again.
Ulan was a stone-headed person.
I guess I was so absorbed in writing the script that I forgot about it for a while. But there was no need to worry.
“Well, it’s okay though. All you have to do is take the script and recite it!”
“I think that would be good.”
Of course, possession of the script is possible.
But I can’t relax about this.
“And I’m just saying this just in case.”
“······?”
“If you find yourself in a situation where you can’t read the script, just say it’s nice to meet you and that you’ll get along well in the future.”
“Why is that…”
“It’s foresight.”
Anything that is troublesome to explain can be roughly solved by explaining it like this. As Noah expected, Ulan calmly accepted the advice.
“i get it. “Please take note.”
Noah was relieved at the answer he received.
Okay, I have insurance on this.
Now all that’s left for Noah is to see what happens to the student council guys.
Uneasy eyes turned to Ulan.
Some time after that.
The Arsene Academy entrance ceremony has begun.
