nobles and commoners. The existence of an unavoidable status gap.

However, this place is an ivory tower, a cradle that holds the empire’s precious talented people.

This is a place where the superiors and inferiors are divided based on ability rather than status.

For that reason, it was natural that students from all walks of life mixed together in the cafeteria.

“How are you going to take this note?”

“Well. To be honest, I just want to burn it all down.”

“Ugh. firebug. I didn’t see it that way.”

“Just kidding, kidding. Why are nobles so serious?”

A noble female student speaks without hesitation to a commoner male student.

In “? What is it?”

“Well, eat it. I heard you like apples.”

“Yes, but… Don’t you want to eat any more?”

“I’m full. Hmm.”

“I don’t think so, eh―”

A noble male student gives something extra to a commoner female student, etc.

‘I like this.’

Deus nodded while gently teasing the dishes.

A worldview in which nobles exclaim ahem and commoners must bow their heads.

If that had been maintained here in the cradle, I think I would have been suffocated.

Perhaps the beauty of democracy could have been spread here.

“Um.”

Busily. Hustle and bustle. If I were to describe a restaurant, it would be exactly like that.

However, that was not the case with Deus. The two seats on the left and right are all empty.

It seemed as if an empty space had been created around him.

Deus is a freshman. I’ve never done anything strange or had an accident.

He is even a promising player. The performance that took place on the day of the entrance ceremony is still talked about by teachers.

In other words, getting closer quickly has many advantages for them.

Yet no one sits next to me. The same goes for the other side.

He even tried to avoid going to the back seat, but was forced to sit down because there were no seats available.

‘They say they don’t discriminate against foreigners with black hair…’ . I think I do… .’

Deus thought the reason was purely because of his hair color.

If you look at it like this, you can see colorful hair, but there are only a handful of black ones.

So other students think my hair is unique.

Let’s start with the results. He was mistaken again.

“Ugh… He, he’s so scary… !”

“Did you see the eyebrows raise? I think I’ll tear someone to pieces not with my hands but with my eyes!”

“That’s a freshman? Are you our junior? Do you think you’ll use polite language when you make eye contact?!”

Wide open shoulders. Upper arms thicker than other people’s thighs.

The buttons on his top were pulled tight as if he was going to make an emergency escape at any moment.

What you see underneath are full muscles that show off their presence.

The body alone already gives off a terrifyingly intimidating feeling.

But it doesn’t stop there, and even the impression is quite sharp.

Especially those eyes. Just looking at it makes my legs shake.

This makes me scared to approach anyone!

“Appearance is my preference… I want to talk to you… I’m so scared… !”

“This is 100%. If you hit your shoulder, your bones will definitely be shattered.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to take down a defense ace with one hand?”

The students around me are whispering and looking at me.

‘Should I at least dye my hair? The black hair is definitely a bit off. ‘There’s no need to mention swords.’

Deus was in the midst of delusion after illusion.

―Sweet.

“Uh!”

“Gasp!”

“Heek?!”

The students who were watching this direction each let out an exclamation of surprise.

Someone sat down holding a tray. In front of that Deus! In front of that scary man!

‘what.’

Deus was equally surprised. I never imagined that I would be sitting in front of someone.

I was embarrassed for a moment, but soon I was filled with gratitude and emotion.

There is nothing more pitiful in the world than eating alone.

Who could it be? Who on earth has a good heart and does good deeds?

“Oh, hello.”

“You are.”

It’s that pintuk from earlier. The girl who told me to go out and eat lunch.

I thought he was a strange kid. I thought it was good not to fit in.

But now that I’m facing it like this, those thoughts are fading away.

“… .”

I brought a tray, but I can’t even lift a spoon.

Both hands are down, trembling and looking down.

I mustered up the courage to approach, but it seemed awkward as expected.

Deus looked at that scene for a moment and fell asleep.

“I’m fine. It’s okay, there’s no need to do this.”

“Uh, huh?”

“You can eat alone. So, if you don’t want to sit, go to another seat.”

It seems he was pitiful. So I guess he wanted to at least comfort me.

But with this unusual hair. It seems like he felt burdened by the attention other people gave him.

Good intentions are enough. I’m just grateful that you came to me like this.

I will remember your kind heart for the rest of my life. Ping tuk!

It was the moment when Deus thought so and moved the dishes again.

“… No.”

“Huh?”

“ doesn’t want to sit together. No.”

No? But why are you shaking so much?

Deus thought for a moment and came up with an answer after much thought.

“I’m just saying this just in case. I’m not a weird guy, am I? Although his hair color is different from yours and he is also bulky. He’s definitely not a bad guy… .”

Saying this makes me sound like a weirder person, right?

Normal people never write introductions like this. It’s going to spin, this thing.

Deus, who was scratching the bridge of his nose, waved his hand.

“Anyway. Enjoy your lunch.”

“Ugh, uhm… You, you too.”

-clatter rattle rattle rattle

First, focus on eating. For a body like this, energy consumption is enormous.

If you don’t eat well, your well-trained body may break down.

“Over there.”

The pink-haired female student across from me cautiously opens her mouth.

Unlike Deus’s half-empty plate, he barely touched it.

“i, name. What is it?”

There is food left in the mouth. What we are talking about here is disqualification in manners.

So Deus tapped the name tag on his chest with his left hand.

“Deus. That’s the name.”

-Nod

“My, my name is Yurishia.”

“Eurisia.”

“Yes. Ho, if it’s too long, you can feel free to call me Yuri.”

What is a good greeting when you are introduced to someone’s name?

Deus thought for a moment and came up with the easiest answer.

“That’s a good name.”

“Yeah, really?”

“Yes.”

Yurishia’s head falls down again.

Afterwards, not only the ears but also the nape of the neck turns red.

But Deus couldn’t see it as he was looking at the food tray.

“Are you not eating?”

I confirmed that the food on the plate across from me had not decreased by even half.

So when Deus asked that question, Urishia suddenly raised her head.

“Huh?! ah. Me, I don’t eat much. So, to be honest, I don’t even eat lunch often.”

“Still, I eat everything I get. You have to get all the essential nutrients for the day, and it’s rude to leave food behind when the cooks have prepared it.”

If you have leftover rice, you will go to hell and eat all the leftovers! Never leave anything behind, you guy!!

Now I suddenly remember my grandmother’s nagging.

“Ah! I’m sorry! I’ll be careful!”

―Papat!

Yurishia empties the tray in an instant.

It was truly a combative meal in itself.

“No. But that’s a bit…”

―Papapapat!

“Eat slowly. Then I’ll pretend… .”

-gulp!

“I ate it all!”

“… Oh my god.”

2 minutes? no. I don’t think that even caught me?

What the hell is this, you ping tuk. No. Did you say Yurishia?

“That, Yurishia.”

“Huh?”

“Next time, it is important to eat without leaving any residue. Chew it slowly and thoroughly. Then I pretend.”

“Ah, yes! Yeah, I will! Thank you!”

A pink short-haired person who smiles while blushing as if she is embarrassed.

That was my first meeting with a female student named Yurishia.

Deus was mistaken again.

*

“Aaaaa!!”

I’m late! How to! I was late from the first day!

Like a fool! What if I mistake it for a carriage and take something else!!

As soon as she got off, Yurishia ran toward the front door at full speed.

But time is running out. Arriving on time was impossible unless you were a person with brecciated abilities.

‘How to? How to?!’

Yurishia is ordinary. And she was a bit of a timid girl.

Even after awakening his martial arts ability, that didn’t change.

Meanwhile, thinking about being late from the first day brought tears to my eyes.

I’ve been running like that for a while, sniffling.

“What is it? Are you late too?”

When I looked to the side, I saw a male student as big as a mountain running next to me.

The speed wasn’t slow at all, but it looked very comfortable.

“That, that. Ouch!”

When I open my mouth to answer, my breathing changes. That breathing made my feet twist.

It was that male student who caught Yurishia when she almost fell.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Probably not. When I looked, my ankle was slightly sprained.”

“Oh, that doesn’t work. If you’re late like this… .”

“At that speed, it’s still a bit dangerous.”

―Tskcha.

The male student held Yurishia’s hands. Help her stand up.

Thanks to this, she was able to clearly see the face of the person who helped her.

“Don’t worry. It’s not late. I’ll help you.”

The eyes are a bit fierce though. The eyes inside clearly belong to a good person.

It’s so huge that it feels a little intimidating, but it’s definitely not a threat.

Above all, the calm yet strangely warm voice is very impressive.

“Ah… .”

Like my hair color. The pink color on Yurishia’s face also became darker.

“Going.”

“Et.”

Yurishia was placed on my side as if carrying some kind of luggage.

The moment the male student stamped his foot, the road started to crack.

―Kwasik!

“Hyaaa?!”

You’re too fast! what’s this! help me! Help me!

I can’t breathe! The wind is too strong! Ahhh!

“We’re here.”

“Ugh… .”

Place Yurishia on the floor and pat her head.

And then the male student disappears without looking back, saying he will go first.

“… .”

Yurishia was staring blankly at his back. Ah! sigh.

I couldn’t even say thank you. I missed the greeting I had to say.

“Hey, over there!”

I quickly tried to follow him, but he was already long gone.

Yurishia, who was wiggling her fingers, pursed her lips.

“Go… thank you. really… .”

Meanwhile.

“Following the pledge. It was successful.”

He does not sit idly by and watch the misfortune of good people.

Thinking of that, Deus nodded with satisfaction.
