Chapter 27 Freshman Exchange Meeting (4)
Although it would be inappropriate for the principal of Illya Arya Puppet Master Academy to say such a thing.
However, the average qualifications of the students who have just been promoted to the second grade in the elementary department of the academy as puppeteers can hardly be called excellent.
This made Lucius, who did have some talent, stand out among his classmates.
Perhaps his position as the second-best student in his grade made him a little arrogant.
Since the third semester of his first year, Lucius had often caused trouble and had been warned many times by the Student Union.
Even Alberta was deeply impressed by him.
"So who is the one he is causing trouble for this time? It can't be the kid from the Elect family, right?"
"Yes... Although Cecilia, who was present at the time, tried to stop him, Elector still accepted the challenge of the duel."
"Pfft, that brat is unexpectedly passionate."
Alberta felt that things were going to be very interesting and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Please be more serious. Lucius's duel request includes the requirement that Elector cancel his engagement with Rose D. Elector.
This may involve factional fighting among the imperial nobles in the future, so I suggest that duels be stopped in the name of the school."
Sabrina suggested seriously.
"Don't worry~ The orphan of Count Lindberg's family should no longer be considered as someone of use, at least in the eyes of those short-sighted imperial nobles.
Since both sides want to fight, let them do it."
"But, but Principal...if this happens, the relationship between us and the Duke of Electo's family might be..."
"Don't worry. Although Duke Elect is a weirdo, he is not so narrow-minded that he would get angry over a child's fight."
Alberta asked, waving her hand nonchalantly.
"And aren't you curious? How did the little brat from the Elect family, who summoned an unknown ancient species, get the confidence to accept a challenge from a senior student at the beginning of the school year?"
"Principal, do you think Elect will win? Although he can't be called a genius, Holhua is also a talented puppeteer. What's more, Elect has just entered school..."
"Excellent talent, more experience and knowledge can indeed increase the chances of winning, but it doesn't mean that it will definitely lead to victory, right?"
Alberta leaned back in her chair and looked at Sabrina, smiling and asking.
"Since you've said that, I won't interfere in this matter next."
"By the way, tomorrow is the opening ceremony for the middle and high school departments. Lina, can you take my place and host it? I'm curious about the outcome of the duel between those two brats, and I want to go and see it myself."
"Principal, it will be completely different for the students if you host the opening ceremony, right?"
Sabrina rejected Alberta's request with a troubled look.
"But I really care about the outcome of the duel. Maybe I'll see something interesting."
Seeing that normal methods didn't work, Alberta started to act like a spoiled brat.
"Principal~"
"Woo! I, I know. I will honestly host the opening ceremony! Really, it's just reading the script that you prepared, Lina, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not~"
Alberta complained, cringing a little as Sabrina glared at her fiercely.
"Really, Master Alberta, please be more aware of your position as the principal."
"Lina, you're still so long-winded. Be careful or you'll become an old woman soon."
"Hmm? Did you say anything just now?"
Sabrina tilted her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth and asked.
Her current appearance and aura were so terrifying that Alberta was frightened and screamed.
"Hey! I, I was wrong. I will never joke with you about age again!"
"Ah... How many times have you said this before... Forget it, if you really care about the outcome of the duel, I will go in your place and record the process with crystal."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lina."
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
The day after the opening ceremony, Alfred woke up in his dormitory.
Just like yesterday, when he woke up he found himself being held in the arms of the sleeping Emilia Bear.
After getting up, washing, and simply taking care of his appearance, Alfred prepared to go out.
"Al~ Please prepare breakfast~"
"I understand. Don't get up too late today."
Looking at Emilia who was dazedly asking him for breakfast, Alfred responded with a wry smile and left the room.
After finishing breakfast with Rose, Alfred came to the first grade classroom of Noren.
(It’s really small. Well, there are only six students assigned to Noren’s Blessing…)
He felt a little strange to find that there were seven sets of desks and chairs in the classroom.
Although it is said that Illya Arya Academy is quite humane, it seems that her father has donated a lot of money to the school in this life.
But Alfred still didn't think that they would be considerate enough to prepare a seat specifically for Emilia.
(Well, you’ll probably know what’s going on in a moment.)
Alfred chose the seat closest to the window and sat down, taking out the book he brought from home to kill time while waiting for other students and tutors to arrive.
After a while, a beautiful girl with black hair and purple eyes, who gave people a gloomy and introverted feeling, walked into the classroom.
"Can I sit next to you?"
The girl asked Alfred timidly, like a frightened animal.
"This position is vacant. If you don't mind, it's no problem."
Alfred put the book down and said to the girl with a friendly smile.
"Thank you... Then I'll sit here."
The girl put her things carefully away, pulled out a chair and sat down.
After sitting down, the girl curled up in the chair with her schoolbag in her arms, stealing glances at Alfred from time to time.
(Does she want to talk to me but is too embarrassed to speak?)
"My name is Alfred D. Elect, and I'm glad to be in the same class with you."
It feels quite strange to be stared at like this all the time.
So Alfred decided to take the initiative to talk to the other party and find out the girl's intentions.
"Ah! Um, my name is Elaje M. Lespinas... I'm also very happy to be assigned to the same class as you, Elect..."
"Girl," Ella replied somewhat helplessly.
(Lespinas...)
After hearing about the family that Elaje was born into, Alfred became slightly more alert.
