Chapter 17 Opening Ceremony and Riot (5)
If we only consider the efficiency of running around, Roderick feels that the Rock Hyena is even more useful than the A-level Dire Wolf.
But there was a problem with Roderick's plan.
That is, unlike in the game, in reality, the school rules of Illya Alia Academy do not allow students to run in the corridors riding puppets.
Roderick also considered this, and decided to deliberately take the risk of being caught by the Student Union.
Even though he had been reincarnated into this world, Roderick still remembered the contents of the game very clearly.
If you want to conquer Cecilia and Aeril of the Student Council, you must violate the school rules once in your first or second year and be called to the Student Council to be reprimanded.
After that, as long as you show a repentant attitude and apologize by sending gifts that both of them like according to the information on the strategy website, you can open a route for the two of them.
Roderick felt that he was very clever, and took advantage of the fact that he accidentally overslept, perhaps he could kill two birds with one stone and trigger an incident in the student union.
(Hehe~ As expected of me, who is called the God of Strategy, this is just a trivial matter...)
Just when Roderick was feeling proud of himself, his thoughts were interrupted by shouting and cursing from behind him.
He was so immersed in his own world that he didn't notice someone approaching from behind.
"The slow guy in front, if you're not in a hurry, please get out of my way! If you keep dawdling like this, we'll be late for the opening ceremony!"
Brady, riding on the Sand Jackal, shouted with contempt in his tone.
Behind him, there were Mark and Dutt hugging his waist tightly.
(Tsk~! Why is this useless protagonist here?! And I can do everything for you, and I can help you defeat all the targets. Can you please leave early?)
Roderick, who didn't like Brady's personality in the first place, immediately became even more angry when he heard the other party speaking to him in a rude way.
So Roderick decided to play a trick on Brady on purpose.
Not only did he not give way to Brady and others behind him, he also deliberately drove the Rock Hyena to the center of the corridor, leaving Brady and others no chance to overtake.
"Tsk, what do you mean by that, you bastard?"
Brady yelled at Roderick in a hostile and aggressive voice.
"Since you want me to give way, how about you learn some etiquette about asking for favors first? If you are willing to apologize and humbly ask me to give way, I may consider it."
Without even looking at Brady, Roderick responded in a provocative tone.
"You bastard, do you know who I am?! I am the son of the hero Ulysses! Be careful or I will ask my dad to take care of you and your family!"
"Hmph~ Even if he is called a hero, Ulysses is just a mere viscount, right?"
Roderick scoffed at Brady's threat and continued speaking with disdain.
"Also, no matter if your dad is a hero or some other bullshit, it doesn't mean you have any ability, right? You want to use your dad to threaten others right away, so you definitely don't have any ability, right?"
"How dare you say that, you bastard? I'll make you pay!"
"Wait, wait a minute, Brady. This is too..."
Before Mark finished speaking, Brady seemed to do something.
The entrance to the auditorium was getting closer. Roderick originally wanted to slow down and put away the Iwahara Hyena not too close to the entrance of the auditorium.
However, a fireball the size of an American football came from behind and grazed his cheek.
(Wait a minute, what the hell is going on here.)
Roderick turned his head and looked behind him in panic.
An ugly puppet appeared next to Brady, preparing to launch the next fireball magic.
(Wait, wait a minute, why is it the hidden puppet——the lustful Asmodeus, shouldn’t this guy’s puppet be a seraph?)
It was at this point that Roderick realized many unnatural things.
In the original plot of the game, Mark and Dutt were supposed to be the characters who bullied Brady, small-time villains who were responsible for making people laugh in the early stages and then died.
But now the two of them are riding the same puppet as Brady, and they keep persuading him to stop.
Roderick's attention was completely focused on the three people behind him, and he didn't even look at the road.
The Rock Hyena he rode did not understand Rodrick's plan, nor did he know Illya's school rules.
Without any orders, it dodged the fireball coming from behind and rushed towards the auditorium on instinct.
After all, according to common sense, when facing an enemy like Brady who has long-range attack capabilities, it would be more advantageous for Roderick to fight in an open area where he can better utilize his mobility advantage.
Just like that, four people along with three puppets broke directly into the auditorium.
It was not until Roderick entered the auditorium that he had a terrible thought in his mind.
In order to avoid Brady's attack and also to avoid colliding with the students waiting in the auditorium, he frantically tried to control the Iwahara Hyena to dodge left and right.
However, his riding skills were not that great.
The Iwahara Hyena was confused and fell because of Roderick's messy orders.
Brady, who was chasing behind, did not expect Roderick to slow down suddenly.
Without time to dodge, he, Mark and Dutt all fell towards Roderick.
The four boys, along with two wolf-shaped puppets, were tangled into a ball like yarn and rolled rapidly towards the west entrance opposite the east entrance of the hall.
At this time, there were two students, one boy and one girl, at the west entrance, who were about to enter the auditorium...
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
(Didn’t you say you wanted to talk to me about something? Why are you suddenly silent now?!)
Edward, who was walking beside Alfred, complained anxiously.
She would occasionally glance at Alfred out of the corner of her eye.
But the other party just smiled with an insincere smile on his face and didn't seem to be saying anything.
Although in terms of family titles, Alfred had a higher social status in the empire.
But if we seriously compare the strength of the two families, in terms of influence in aristocratic society, Adelaide's position may be more advantageous.
The Bartlett family is a prominent family that has produced many outstanding puppeteers. Even as a lord and noble in the north, they have considerable influence in the palace.
With the knowledge of games from his previous life and the knowledge he learned from his parents and brothers and sisters in this life, Adelaide decided that it didn't matter if he was rejected.
If... the other party is not the final villain.
