Episode 294
“Then, this concludes the entrance ceremony.”
As always, Sunrise Academy’s entrance ceremony ended uneventfully.
“Please take a break until the first class bell rings. Well, thank you all for your hard work…”
Because all important events were held during orientation, the entrance ceremony ordinance remained only symbolic.
However, as the old saying goes, even if it is rotten, it is still worth it.
Although it has been long gone, the entrance ceremony of Sunrise Academy, which has a history of over a thousand years, was as splendid as in the past.
– Horolong! Hello!
“Poo! Pooh!”
And at the center of the splendid entrance ceremony, there were fairies and spirits sprinkling mysterious powder everywhere immediately after the dean’s declaration.
“Wow…”
“Awesome, really amazing…”
The sight of small, cute creatures that were said to have become extinct hundreds of years ago, smiling and sprinkling small powders, was a truly amazing sight for the new students who came to the academy.
“……”
However, in that atmosphere, there was someone leaning against the railing alone with a sullen expression.
“Is it him? The kid who was trying to play a prank on Frey?”
“It’s too big… for a common democracy.”
“You’re not a commoner, are you? That’s a seal that only nobles can wear, right?”
“He’s a fallen noble who just recently returned. Well, that’s it.”
After being caught by Serena’s owl and publicly humiliated while trying to annoy Frey, she hears whispers about herself.
“Ugh… That’s annoying.”
Thanks to you, she shook her head and lowered her head.
“I was captured from day one…”
It was fortunate that the target was Frey, but they were already established nobles who did not like new blood being transfused.
To them, Baron Horizon, who had lost his former status and glory, was simply seen as a member of a rootless family whose ancestors were not from the empire.
In such a situation, when Lenya showed an eye-catching behavior, the nobles naturally began to ‘chew’ her in vulgar terms.
Of course, that included jealousy toward the first-year students who were considered elite and strong candidates for the warrior party, as well as jealousy toward her beautiful appearance, which had elf blood flowing through it.
And for the same reason, there were some who looked at her with subtle eyes.
“…Okay, forget about the past. Let’s do what needs to be done.”
But she, who promised never to be discouraged by such gazes, soon turns back, clenching her hands tightly.
“Then, who should I talk to first?”
Then, Lenya began scanning the cluttered auditorium with eagle eyes.
“hmm…”
Then, she took out the notebook from her arms and started muttering again.
“I need to use this opportunity to say as much as possible…”
The Horizon sisters planned to talk to as many people as possible during the small exchange that took place after the entrance ceremony.
It is very rare for all students to gather in one place, so it was a golden opportunity for them to somehow build connections.
“First of all, it’s not him.”
She was looking for someone to talk to with her eyes like a beast looking for its prey, but then she looked at Count Justinian’s only daughter with cold eyes and muttered.
“No matter what, I don’t go down on my family’s enemies.”
Surrounded by a large crowd of people, Lenya glared at her passing by with a haughty expression on her face. When her eyes met, her eyes widened and she clenched her fists.
“…Hmm.”
“Well, that’s really…”
However, after looking at her like that, she yawns and goes out.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”
She fixed her gaze on her notebook, trying to ignore the crowds that followed behind her, and quickly picked up the ballpoint pen she had put away.
– Squeak, squeak…
And then, Lenya crosses the line on ‘Roswin Solar Sunset’ written at the beginning.
Originally, she wanted to join the Roswin faction, which had a reputation for being easy to join. However, she had no choice but to rule out because the faction itself had disappeared.
It seemed a bit pitiful to see her sitting alone and pitiful in the corner, but there was no time left to talk to her, who was rumored to have lost out in a recent power struggle.
“Uhm…”
After clearing Roswin’s name like that, she quickly takes her steps quietly.
“That person is also… ambiguous.”
Aisi, accompanied by a large crowd, passed by her, but since she was a princess from a foreign country and not from the empire, Lenya shook her head and hurried on.
“excuse me…”
Eventually, she joined the group of young ladies who were talking and smiling.
“…Who are you?”
“Do you know us?”
“Oh, that’s not it…”
But what came back was a measured tone and eyes.
“Ah… it’s him.”
“Uh… ‘him’?”
“You don’t know that it’s against noble etiquette to talk to someone you’re not even close with, so of course you’re the daughter of the Horizon family, right?”
“…sorry.”
And soon, as her eyes and tone changed to ridicule and contempt, she gritted her teeth, bowed her head, apologized, and then stepped back.
There were several more attempts, but the response was no different.
“ha…”
“Yes, it was recently entered into a lottery.”

“…uh?”
Thanks to that, she sighed, holding back tears for no reason, but when she heard a low voice, she quietly turned her head to the side.
“Wow! This person is really pretty!!”
“Can you tell me the exact timing of the lottery and how to do it? I need to compare… no, I need to check.”
“Of course, we will cooperate with all our might.”
Her older sister was already talking to Serena and Perloce.
“Awesome, awesome…”
Her older sister was talking to big names that she couldn’t even make eye contact with.
“As expected, sister…”
She murmured a smile at the confident appearance of her older sister, whom she had always been proud of and respected.
“…….”
When he saw the arm sleeve wrapped around her arm, he quietly gritted his teeth.
“pup…”
The image of her older sister, who was always proud, crying in the bathroom secretly on the day she was branded a slave, still flashes in her mind.
“I will definitely take revenge…”
Eventually, having made that promise, she mustered up the courage to take a step forward.
“To do that, you first have to make connections…”
Then, she looked alternately between Klarna’s direction and Ruby’s direction.
“Um, hey… hello!”
Then, Lenya closed her eyes tightly and gathered her courage and headed towards where Klarna was.
In order to become an executive of the warrior party, I decided that it would be better to expand my network and then approach Ruby rather than talking to her now.
“Stop.”
“You don’t know who this person is?”
However, Klarna’s henchmen block her path.
“Well, I just…”
Thanks to this, the courage she had just gained was gone, and she started to stutter, shedding a cold sweat.
“Please step back.”
When Klana, who was examining her, gave orders to her subordinates with sharp eyes, they quietly bowed their heads and retreated to the sides.
“What happened?”
Eventually, Clanna crosses her legs and looks at her with harsh eyes and asks a question.
“Wow, that’s cool…”
Because her appearance was dripping with charisma, she muttered that without even realizing it.
“What did you just say?”
“Oh, that. That’s…”
Then, Clanna picked up the cup of tea next to her and asked that with sparkling eyes.
“You look so cool, stop…”
“Huh, huh… I see.”
Thanks to this, Lenya answered in a cold sweat, wondering if she had made a mistake, and Klana quietly nodded.
– Twitch, twitch…
However, the corners of her mouth were clearly twitching little by little.
It’s been a while since she’s been praised as ‘cool’, so Klarna is smiling brightly and muttering that she’s just as good as Frey.
“Well, what I want to say is…”
Lenya thought this was a good sign and whispered to Klana with shining eyes.
“I want to be on Klarna’s side.”
“Huh? What is that…”
“I’m also very interested in Frey.”
“Puhup…!”
As soon as she heard those words, she took the black tea she was drinking out of her mouth and opened her eyes.
“So, please let me join you.”
“Yes, yes?”
Lenya knew. That Klarna is friendly to Frey.
In fact, it wasn’t just her, there were quite a few people who noticed the relationship after seeing Klana’s attitude towards Frey when the warrior party had a picnic with new students during orientation.
‘It’s clear that Frey has a weakness… So, you’ll want to keep him in check a little more. I also heard that he has been gathering a lot of his associates recently.
Of course, the princess had no reason to like Frey, so Lenya took advantage of that and approached Klarna.
This was because I thought it was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, to keep Frey in check and also to be on Klarna’s side.
“W-what…”
However, to Klarna, her words were like a lightning strike.
“Now, I’m going to have to deal with a girl who isn’t a sub-heroine… Oh, no…’
“…..?”
Klana, with a pale expression, slowly looked at Lenya.
‘Yes, you’re pretty, right? I think she’s prettier than me… Oh, no. Frey still loves me more. I, the third seed to be sown, have nothing to lose to this guy…’
“Princess?”
‘But, I am a colony that has already been conquered once… This is a green kid who is younger than me. What should I do? So what should I do… The other kids are good at keeping them in check…’
“Princess Clanna?”
Eventually, she, who was mumbling to herself, came to her senses when Lenya called her repeatedly and slowly opened her mouth.
“What is your specialty?”
“Ah, that’s… first of all, it’s magic research… but the results haven’t been achieved yet…”
“Hmm…”
At those words, Clanna nods with a slightly relieved expression.
‘Well, I have to show you something. If I can’t do it, I’ll just leave.’
However, Lenya, who thought it was a test of herself, was embarrassed and quickly shook her head because she thought Klarna was giving her a lukewarm response.
“How about something like this?”
“yes?”
“Hey, guys. Would you please gather here?”
After such a fleeting moment, she used her wits and shouted that to the spirits flying on the ceiling.
‘Please come, please come, please come…’
Eventually, she closes her eyes tightly and begins to pray inwardly.
– Horolong…♡
“Puu…!”
After a while, as if her prayers had worked, the spirits flew towards her all at once.
“Whoa?”
“Whoa…♡”
The curious fairies watching the scene also follow behind the spirit, and a spectacular scene unfolds.
Thanks to this, attention is once again focused on Lenya.
But this time, most eyes were intoxicated by the beautiful sight.
“Is this… okay?”
Lenya, who now has spirits and fairies fluttering around her cheeks and shoulders, asks in a triumphant voice.
“Ah… Ugh…”
“……?”
“Wow, it’s amazing… it’s amazing…”
Then, Clanna crumpled slightly and started crying, but then answered with an effort to raise the corners of her mouth.
‘The talented class is dying… The talented class is dying… The talented class is dying…’
But deep inside, she was burning with inferiority complex at the second coming of the ‘Spirit Master’, which was thought to be a lost talent that could only be acquired through blood.
“Hey… if you have time, can we talk?”
“…Are you interested in the new student welcome party?”
“We need someone like you. I’ll make room for you.”
“yes?”
As the young people who had been giving her a subtle look earlier approached, Lenya tilted her head.
“I heard that the new student welcome party has disappeared…?”
“Oh, that’s it. Actually…”
Then, when she tilted her head with a pure expression, the young people smiled quietly and tried to whisper.
“Hey, get out.”
“……!”
Irina, who had put her hand in her pocket, blocked their path and started cursing, causing them to step back in shock.
“Can’t you get over it quickly? You bastards whose d*cks control your brain?”
“Well, we…”
“Get out of here quickly, before they make you naked and leave you floating in the air.”
Although she was a commoner, it was recently revealed that she was a disciple of the Magic Tower Lord and she was called Klarna’s closest aide, so they had no choice but to step down as they were nothing special.
“What are you again?”
“Yes, yes?”
Lenya, who was looking at the scene in confusion, hesitates when Irina glares at her with her hands in her pockets.
“Why are you so interested in Frey?”
She takes a step closer to her and coldly asks.
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Oh, that’s… nothing special… it’s just… huh?”
Thanks to this, Lenya, who was breaking out in a cold sweat and wondering if this might be a sign of discipline, soon looks embarrassed.
– Whoops… Whoops…
“Puh, puh…”
“What’s wrong, guys?”
The spirits and fairies that had been flying around her making pleasant sounds just a moment ago were trembling.
“…Scared? Who?”
Lenya caresses the guys without thinking at that sight, but then accidentally reads their emotions and asks that question.
“The red thing… are you scared? Should we run away from here right now? What is that…”
“What are they? They’re spirits.”
Irina, who was looking at Lenya, quietly took her right hand out of her pocket and waved it around.
“Mana comes back at midnight… but it will be like this.”
– Horolong!?
“…go back.”
Then, the spirits and fairies returned to their original positions as if possessed by something.
“What are you doing now?”
“Spirit magic.”
“yes!?”
Lenya, who was shocked at the sight and then carefully asked a question, soon looked shocked.
Although her elf blood had faded considerably, she loved studying and was the heir to the family, so she knew a lot about spirits.
“How can I use that? When did it disappear?”
Spirit magic was a magic that had been lost for hundreds of years.
“I just developed it again. It worked.”
“No… that’s not the problem!”
And, spirit magic was the exclusive property of elves.
An ordinary human would not even be able to imitate it.
“What are you…?”
“Before that, answer my question first.”
Thanks to this, Lenya, who was asking that question while breaking out in a cold sweat, thought quietly with a frightened expression on her face when Irina interrupted her and grabbed her shoulder and opened her mouth.
“…why are you interested in Frey, damn it?”
‘I have to run away… Anyway, I have to run away…’
To follow the words of spirits and fairies.
“Oh, hello!!”
Just like that, Lenya used all her strength to pull back in a hurry and ran towards the exit of the auditorium.
“What? That bitch.”
“You… you didn’t get an invitation to the new student welcome party, right?”
“I was captured there a year ago.”
“You too…!?”
Irina, who was looking at her strangely, and Klarna, who was looking at her with an anxious expression, were talking.
“Wrong. I have no hope. Now I have to somehow protect Frey’s colony and at least the title of Agi holder…”
“You weren’t invited because you were a princess, you idiot. If you were a commoner, you would have been captured like me and sacrificed to Frey.”
“I see. Hehe…”
The story, which would have left Lenya spellbound for a day if she had heard it, continued for a long time afterwards.
.
– Ding dong♪Ding dong♪
After a brief period of spare time, the preliminary bell rings, indicating that the academy’s first class is approaching.
“This is first year A class.”
Lenya, who was quickening her steps at the sound of the bell, swallowed her saliva when she found the nameplate that said 1st year Class A.
“The highest class of the academy. This is where I will be for a year.”
Lenya, who had been looking at the nameplate with a pounding heart, closed her eyes and took a deep breath when she arrived at the door.
‘Join the warrior party, revive the family, and punish Frey. That plan will definitely succeed.’
– Sigh…
Eventually, she made that promise and entered the class.
“”……””
Then, everyone’s eyes are focused on her.
– Sreuk.
-Sch…
However, the gaze soon returns.
-Turp, trudge…
Like them, Lenya took a quick look around before sitting quietly in her seat and making a cold expression.
‘In today’s operation… I’ll have to get noticed by Ruby somehow.’
And then, she muttered that to herself.
The warrior party and the new students had planned to grandly ruin Frey’s first class, which was to be held today.
– Sigh…
‘come…!’
And that plan was about to begin.
-Turp, trudge…
Frey entered the classroom only after all the students were seated, and slowly made his way to the teacher’s table.
Then, a chilly silence filled the classroom.
‘Will it really succeed?’
In that silence, Lenya surveys the situation with a nervous expression.
‘Mr. Aris, who is hiding in a drawer in the table, attacks Frey, and at the same time, the kid who was said to be good at using a large sword slashes at him. I’ve simulated it several times, so he’ll definitely work…’
The first and most lethal of the many plans planned throughout the day was about to begin.
“”…….???””
However, something is strange.
‘Why aren’t you coming out?’
Aris, who was obviously hiding under the lectern, was unmovable for some reason.
‘If this happens, the plan will fail.’
Thanks to that, the moment when the freshmen’s expressions became anxious.
– Paging!!
The girl sitting at the front of the table seemed to have noticed something, and with an angry expression on her face, she urgently summoned a great sword made of light from the air.
– Quad deud deuk!!!”
And, less than a second after he got up from his seat, a huge sword exploded at Frey, who was standing at the lectern.
“haha…”
When the sound of something being sharply dug is heard, the girl, who was breathing heavily with a nervous expression, smiles in remorse.
“…….!!!”
But that smile soon turns into a shocked expression.
“Uh, how…”
– It’s so sad…
This was because Frey, who was still expressionless, was blocking her great sword with just one finger.
“Hey, profit…!”
She, who was embarrassed, once again applied strength to the great sword, but Frey maintained his stance without blinking.
-Ting…!
Then he snaps his fingers with a cold expression.
– Kugwagwagwagwang!!!
Then, in an instant, the great sword escaped her grasp and became lodged on the other side of the classroom wall, trembling.
“No way…”
The girl looked at that in fear,
– Ugh…!
“Huh!?”
Frey, still standing in front of the table, grabs his arm and lifts him up, and he is overpowered without even a single resistance.
“Kwaaaah!? Hey, let go of this…!”
– Ugh…
“…Argh!”
Soon, she was lying on the table, screaming and struggling, and Frey pressed her hard on her stomach.
– Chi-ik…..!
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”
After a while, black smoke billowed out along with a strange energy, and the girl trembled and screamed.
“It will be easy to hide the engraving on your stomach. So be patient.”
“”…………””
The male students looked at the shocking scene with cold expressions, and the female students looked disgusted.
‘It’s disgusting…’
And that was the same for Lenya, who was staring blankly at that moment.
‘I must bring you down, Freyr.’
With her and her classmates’ determination to become stronger, Frey’s first class began.
.
“Ugh, ugh…”
“I should have clearly warned you that you would carve a slave’s seal on me, but you looked at me with such dissatisfied eyes. I guess my words didn’t seem right.”
“Aaaahhh…!”
As I was carving a slave’s seal on the stomach of a girl who was trying to hit me with a bayonet, I thought quietly as I felt the drawer I was blocking with my knees shaking.
‘I knew Aris was inside… but why on earth is Kania under the lectern?’
For some reason, Kania’s dark magic was leaking out little by little from inside the drawer.
It looks like Kania is suppressing Aris, but if that’s the case, she’ll be in quite a bit of trouble if the kids discover her, so she’ll have to keep blocking her with her knees.
“You… are not even human… you bastard who deserves to die.”
With that thought in mind, I focus my attention on the girl’s stomach again, and she cries out with tears in her eyes.
“…ha.”
Instead of answering, I let out a small sigh and muttered to myself with wide eyes.
‘I just added one more thing…’
To save these children, 99% of whom are destined to die,
I must engrave the ‘Seal of Slave’ on all of them.
‘…When will I engrave everything?’
I guess I’ll be quite busy for a while.
