Vihan von Adelheid

Who is he?

Among the nobles, he is known as ‘the inadequate eldest son of Adelheid Marquis’.

The servants of the Adelheid family whisper, calling him ‘the reckless young master’.

To the Adelheid Marquis couple, he is ‘the wandering son’.

And those who have encountered this child countless times in the game are evaluated like this.

‘Just a fool’

That’s what they say.

Why a fool, you ask?

As mentioned earlier, this child’s first appearance is in the tutorial section of the game.

The beginning of ‘The Day the Flowers Fall’ starts with the protagonist entering the academy.

With a swelling heart, the protagonist, who is admitted to the academy where the talents of the empire gather, encounters a rude noble.

This noble makes absurd remarks like ‘I find your face appealing. Seize the opportunity to become my concubine,’ and when the protagonist and others react with resistance,

Instead of apologizing, he shamelessly demonstrates fighting to the protagonist after a disgraceful duel involving honor and gambling, only to be expelled as a fool upon defeat.

Furthermore, revealing the combat abilities of the newly enrolled protagonist and losing, that fool was a 3rd-year student in martial arts, while the protagonist was a 1st-year student in magic studies…

Even though that fool’s family is a marquis family, instead of opposing the expulsion, they send gifts of apology to the protagonist.

How much of a disappointment must a child be for their family to do that?

And..

“Master Vihan. The master is summoning you.”

I have now become that fool.

You understand why my face is grimacing, right?

···

Following behind the maid, I pondered.

What time is it now?

I was about to ask what year it is now, but recalling the maid’s expression from earlier, where she went ‘Wow..’, I kept my mouth shut.

No

Honestly, that expression was hurtful.

That expression of ‘he’s gone too far..’ was really…

As I followed the maid, I turned my head as much as possible.

My goals, the time and resources for him.

Estimating my age based on my extroversion, contemplating the events that happened at that time, by the time I reached the door, I had arrived.

What I see is an office, a black door like a nameplate hanging on my hair.

Looking at that door, I unintentionally thought.

‘(85, 93, 80), Ebony Oak.’

Indeed, they used expensive wood for the door, whether it’s a marquis family.

If you make a door out of such high-quality material using magic potions…

If you use the potion well, you can apply warding magic…

“..Young Master?”

“Oh”

Thinking about the material of the door that caught my eye, my thoughts wandered, and once again, I received the maid’s pitiful gaze.

But I just thought for a moment, yet that look…

Realizing that I couldn’t explain that look right away, I sighed and knocked on the door.

Let’s start slowly and steadily.

Being possessed in this fool’s body,

What time it is now,

Why the master called me,

How I will achieve my goals,

Everything will be resolved as I move forward step by step.

Because I am ‘GM Max Level Rabbit’.

Upon entering as instructed, I met eyes with a man who was looking at me.

Black hair and black eyes like mine.

A man who meets my eyes with a cold face and coldly settled pupils.

He must be the current biological father of my physical body, the Adelheid Marquis.

I met his eyes, waiting to hear what words would come from his mouth.

Will it be cold words like his cold eyes?

Or perhaps a reprimanding word?

Maybe even a command to leave the family.

Despite being expelled in the original work without any protest from the Marquis family, it must be because I’m a disposable child.

Of course, protesting against the academy won’t be easy.

-Sip

After a brief exchange of glances, the Marquis, who let out a small sigh, handed me a piece of paper and spoke.

-Rustle

“..Vihan. It hurts to say this.”

Unexpectedly, his tone was affectionate.

Contrary to his cold demeanor in the game, he truly seemed to cherish his family.

Nevertheless, when my child was expelled, instead of lodging a complaint, they sent a gift of apology.

Was it because they were a noble who knew shame, or had the misdeeds of this body’s owner gone too far?

However, judging by the affectionate tone now, it seemed that I had not crossed the line yet.

I just needed to make changes one by one.

Firstly, I should go to the academy and start the conversation…

With that determination in mind, I opened the paper handed to me by the butler and listened to what followed.

“We express our gratitude for your efforts in taking the exam at our academy.”

A letter from the academy?

“You…at the academy…”

“However, we have determined that you are not a good fit for our academy and regret to inform you that you did not pass.”

“You didn’t pass.”

“…..”

Excuse me?

What is this about?

“Our son must have had high expectations, and to end up with this result, I can’t find the words to say.”

Failed the academy…?

…Really?

No

Really

Wait a minute

No, really??

“Our son must be so shocked that he can’t even speak…”

I never expected this?

···

“Haha..”

“..Are you okay?”

Okay?

No, how can everything be okay.

Whenever I played games, I always started by entering the academy, so I never thought that I would fail to enter and face such a setback right at the beginning.

But wait, didn’t this kid get expelled in their third year?

So why now???

No, of course, if you don’t go to the academy, there won’t be any risk of getting expelled for the protagonist, but wait, if you don’t enter the academy in the first place, it will greatly hinder achieving my goal??

Having been possessed for less than a day, I shuddered at the unprecedented crisis that had struck me.

Is this what they call being in reality mode on top of lunatic crazy mode?

Truly an immense difficulty level..!

The blood of a gamer boils.

I am a game master, a max-level rabbit.

To overcome this, I will do whatever it takes…

“..Yes, let me petition the headmaster once. For the sake of our son…”

“No.”

No, no matter what, that’s not it.

Are you out of your mind, father?

“..Will you be okay?”

“Yes.”

Are you okay

I’m not okay right now, and if we petition the headmaster, we won’t be okay.

Do you know one of the rules of the academy that serves as the background for this game?

It’s ‘equality.’

In this academy, whether a slave, noble, commoner, or aristocrat, everyone lives equally.

In this medieval society steeped in the feudal system, how could there be ‘equality’ in the academy rules?

And why does everyone in the game’s academy, except for the villain, adhere to this ‘equality’?

It’s all thanks to the headmaster…no, because of him.

Why?

Because those who do not follow the academy rules are dragged to the headmaster’s office.

And when they come out of the headmaster’s office, their eyes spin like lollipops, shouting, ‘I love equality.’

Due to the sight of this and knowing the true identity of the headmaster, several families have eradicated discrimination based on status within the academy.

Even if you’re in your third year and dare to look down on the protagonist based on status, you’re quite something, owner.

Unless you’re extremely cunning to the core, how could that happen?

Unless this kid makes a contract with a demon later and wipes out the family, it might not be entirely wrong?

Anyway, if the butler were to ask the headmaster, “Our son is very disheartened, is a retest possible?” what would he say?

“Your heart seems troubled, so I’ll give you one chance, butler,” would he say?

Haha

Even if it’s a joke

In any case, the Adelheid family is a prestigious and honorable lineage, so the headmaster may reply, respecting that honor,

“If you’re not using your head as a helmet, stop blabbering, clean your feet, and go to sleep,” could be the response.

Even if it’s not that response, nothing positive will come out of it.

Therefore, I prevented the butler from sending a petition to the headmaster.

There must be another way than this.

No, there definitely is.

Even the protagonist of the original story got admitted, and I can’t?

..I’m not beneath even a protagonist!

Surely there must be some way..!

I rummaged through my thoughts for clues about special admissions apart from the entrance exam.

[Hehe, the entrance exam was a piece of cake]

Not this, but it’s getting annoying.

Why can’t my body owner even handle a simple task like that?

[Special admission? Oh, you know about special admissions! Special admissions are a different way of entering the academy compared to the regular entrance exam…]

..Not this either

[Special admission? I don’t know about that, but if you admit the top-grade fruits from the south, you can enter academically and enjoy them deliciously!]

..Sometimes I wonder what the creators of “Flower Day” were thinking when they wrote the script.

Did they seriously write that as comedy?

[I entered through a special? unique? method! It was quite remarkable!]

Special admission… makes sense, but I’ll put that on hold.

[How about sending a complaint letter to the director?]

I vaguely remember sending a complaint letter for this guy’s little brother and ending up cleaning the stables for a year.

[Haven’t you seen the test before? Hmm..]

Ah

[Of course..? I came in through special admission.]

That’s it.

A way? Hmm.. Since you’ve done me a favor, I’ll tell you something special. The special exam I took was…

I found it.

A way for me to enroll.

Having discovered a way to enroll from past memories, I politely greeted my father and left the room.

He kept glancing at me with a stern look, making sure I promised three times not to send a complaint letter to the director before I could finally leave.

Leaving the study, I sat in my room chair and looked at myself in the mirror.

Resembling the protagonist from the original work but still looking immature.

‘About 2 to 3 years away?’

If all goes according to plan, I’ll be enrolling in the academy next spring, leaving just that much until the start of the original work.

When the original story begins, it seems bright and cheerful on the surface, but many things happen behind the scenes.

Attacks on the academy, the death of a senior who went back to their hometown, a friend getting kidnapped, and villains starting to act.

The main characters and their friends always manage to overcome these evils, but not everyone around them does.

Many will get hurt, fall, and lose their light.

In novels and games, apart from major plot points, a few lines of messages pop up and it ends, but this is reality.

If I go to the academy, these are the things that will happen around me and to me.

Preparing for events like destroying villages,

crumbling cities,

annihilating countries,

and breaking continents, the remaining time is two years.

– Arrogant, aren’t you?

Too short, you say?

Ha.

As if.

Even for someone as lacking in stats and talent as me, I’ve made it past thirty levels countless times.

Two years for someone like me?

It’s more than enough.

– Very arrogant indeed.

With a fierce smile, I declared.

I will see.

The stories of those left unfinished in the game.

I will clear away.

Anything that hinders the happiness I seek.

I will laugh.

Looking at the people of this world whom I love,

even if they are the Demon Lord of the Abyss,

even if they are dark blades covering the night,

even if they are beings that defy logic,

..even if they are stern heavenly gods,

I will do as I please.

Gazing out the window, I laughed fiercely at the shining figures of this world, sparkling like jewels.

Wait a minute

– You!! You are more arrogant than anyone else!! You truly believe that both gods and demons are beneath you! You are qualified!! I, Shuperbia, offer you a contract…

-Snap!

-Grr..! Wh-why?!

Can’t stand it?

Once more.

-Snap!

The buzzing of the fly is irritating?

I wiped my hand, stained with the fly’s blood, with a handkerchief and threw it into the nearby trash can to rid myself of the annoyance.

Ebi’s Support

But these days, are even flies talking?

Ah, it must be a misunderstanding.

How could flies talk?
