“Hehe☆ Thank you! Since I’m the only one who goes here, I thought I’d almost be left alone and no one could find me, crying ‘Mommy~Mom~’ and ending my life lonely. I happened to receive help like this from a kind student passing by―☆ No matter how you look at it, I guess it’s fate… Isn’t it almost fate? Wow-☆ Cool!! Destiny is the best!!”

“… I see.”

“Ah☆ Do you tend to believe in fate or something? Are you interested in tarot cards or divination? Or how about MBTI, constellations, birthstones, or birth flowers? Isn’t it really romantic to confirm your own destiny? I always run to the bookstore every Monday to check out magazines☆ There’s no one I can talk to at school… ☆ Anyway, if there’s a romantic horoscope written in a magazine, I’m so excited that I don’t know what to do that day! Kyaaa―☆”

“… No, I don’t know.”

I borrowed the power of Pretty Filter, which was like evil black magic.

If you have a pretty filter, you can talk about that topic for 30 minutes just by rolling a tree branch.

Actually, I’m not knocking on Rbit’s mentality for no reason.

To be honest, it was fun to make fun of my first junior.

It can definitely be said to be a foreshadowing of Rbit’s sense of responsibility shown in the main story.

‘After the entrance ceremony, Albit realized the inferiority of and was shocked. And even though he is a first year student, he actually serves as the student council president.’

If only I had the power of a filter that smells like evil pink rose tteokbokki.

And if your only senior tells you that this is what it looks like.

This is because it was thought that it could sufficiently amplify Arbit’s disappointment.

‘indeed… ?’

I saw Albit, pretending to wipe the rain-soaked stone floor with a mop, stacking buckets on the floor.

“… ”

Albit’s bag and clothes were placed in the corner.

Albit rolled up the sleeves of his middle school uniform and was diligently cleaning up the scene.

“It’s a bit noisy. Be quiet… ”

A girl with her hair tied back and picking up a bucket.

Although I could feel him quietly muttering something inside his mouth.

It wasn’t as despairing as the description of the first meeting mentioned in the game.

‘Albit is the main story protagonist, so I followed the second creation episode because there were a lot of mini-stories from the past. ‘Is the impact still very weak?’

It seemed like she was too weak to be completely disappointed by .

So now was the time for me to make up my mind and pretend to be the villain.

‘Frustration is what makes a girl grow.’

The saying ‘a lion pushes its cub into a cliff’ is said to have an unknown origin.

Isn’t Jo Hong’s famous saying, ‘Frustration makes a man grow’ written in the game’s Kojiki?

General Pyo Gi’s words.

Cao Hong’s sentiments when he said, ‘The world cannot be without Hong, but it cannot be without a hero like Cao Cao,’ touched my heart.

‘You don’t have to have the comedy character Ping Chang in the main story, but you can’t have a main character like Arbit.’

Grow strong, Albit.

I spoke to Arbit again with the same feelings as Jo Hong, who had advised me for Jo Jo.

“Ah, now that I think about it, the main auditorium is very old and needs repairs☆”

“Yes, that’s right… yes? The main auditorium? Do you do that alone?”

“Because I’m the only student in the entire school… Hehe☆”

“There is only one student at … ?!”

“Huhuhu―☆”

Could it be because of Prism Academy’s enrollment situation, which is worse than expected?

Albit looked back at me with surprised eyes for the first time.

‘You bastard, I’ve been listening to you since a while ago.’

For your information, the fact that I am the only student attending this school was mentioned several times in Pretty’s conversation. It was amazing that I somehow managed to maintain my sanity despite the endless Pretty Pink Pink conversation.

I decided to use my spleen attack to reduce the mental state of this guy, who was mentally stronger than I thought, to soft char.

“Hehehe, but I’m glad that cleaning up the main auditorium with the two of us was easier than I thought! It’s truly a collaboration between girls! Girl’s Association―☆”

“Large, the main auditorium?! What is this?!”

“Yes! how is it? Doesn’t it look somewhat vintage and like a garden in a fairyland forest? Then am I a princess in a fairyland?☆”

“Huh.”

Albit looked around in confusion with a shocked expression.

In general, the students of Academy City Yord are all superhumans who can manipulate ether. In addition, like active female students, it was common for the main auditorium to have facilities for all kinds of physical activities, fighting competitions, and training.

A stadium for all kinds of ball games available to students.

A training ground to train each person’s skills and etheric abilities.

A fighting arena where talented students from a full-fledged school can compete against each other.

Even for a small school, the main auditorium, which contained all the comprehensive facilities, boasted the size of a decent sports stadium.

Even large schools attended only by elites, such as and , had more than five such auditoriums.

‘Actually, I haven’t seen it in person, I’ve only heard about it from Hilde.’

The main auditorium was the center of each school’s training facility.

Considering that developing one’s own strength is a virtue for students living in .

In fact, it is safe to say that this facility is like the heart of each academy.

So what about the main auditorium of our proud ?

The main auditorium of was reminiscent of a fairyland, as I just said.

The problem is that it is a cruel fairy tale that is unbelievable to some.

“This shabby barn is the main auditorium―?!”

“Too much~☆”

The place where Albert is looking up in despair.

When I followed the gaze, the first thing that caught my eye was a hole showing the blue sky. And that too countless times. You can see a hole so big that the phrase ‘rain is leaking’ sounds ridiculous.

This could almost be considered a semi-open stadium.

tweet

A bird whose wings I had been bothering with earlier.

He looked down through the hole and made eye contact with us.

Then, the guy lifted his tail, spun around, and aimed in our direction.

Squeak-

percussion

The bird carelessly shed a ray of excrement and disappeared into the distant sky.

As I looked down the white straight line left by my friend, I saw a cheap stone path and sand for shock absorption on the ground.

Lots of bird droppings on the sand.

The white trails of new friends on the shock-absorbing sand were not the only ones.

It was a cheap facility to begin with, but the scene has become even more miserable after being neglected for such a long time.

In addition, the simple chairs, exercise equipment, and even the iron bars of the fence were completely rusted and turned red. It’s a sight that makes you feel like you’re going to get tetanus just by passing by.

And what’s even worse is the smell.

The gentle scent of rainwater and the rotten smell of sand tickle my heart.

For a girl, being dirty is a shock, but the smell leaves a scar.

Considering that the main auditorium facilities are generally made of etheric shock-absorbing material that does not rust, this is not a den of beggars, no matter how kindly you look at it.

Even that had been torn apart long ago, so the landscape was practically a wasteland.

Arbit, who had watched everything, muttered in a devastated voice.

“I, I… What kind of warehouse is this? I thought… Well, what about that too… It looks like a ramshackle hut… I thought it was an abandoned warehouse… ”

Anyway, due to the main story, I have to go to this school all the time.

Albit was shaken by a feeling of helplessness against the inevitable reality.

And I watched the shaking figure closely.

Is she still not crying?

Should we prepare for an even greater ordeal than this?

It was around the time that my heart began to ache.

“Black.”

uh.

I’m crying.

Now the bite is slowly coming.

The sharp eyes become round and tears fall.

‘Keu… ‘

Shin Jo Hong.

I have obeyed your command.

Ambition was planted in the heart of a hero of difficult times.

‘Frustration makes a girl grow-!!’

Feeling a sense of accomplishment in my heart, I decided to hit the final wedge.

So that she can’t forget what happened today, let’s give her a sense of despair that will be talked about until the end of the main story.

Pretending not to notice, I held onto Arbit’s trembling shoulders and put my face in his arms.

“Ah! like… Ho, ho, ho, ho, by any chance—☆ Ips, are you a new student?!”

“… ”

“Are you an admitted student―?!”

“… Yes.”

“Wow… Wow―☆ Ugh―☆ Wow!!! Nice to meet you!!”

“… ”

It’s a pity that her shoulders are shaking helplessly, but now is the time to just follow Jo Hong’s feelings.

Pretending not to see Arbit’s welling up tears, I held onto both of Albit’s hands with all my strength and shook hands like heaven and earth.

humming-

humming-

“Kyaaahat―☆ Then it’s okay to talk to me since I’m a junior, right? huh? Yes☆ Nice to meet you too. My name is Clara! I am the only student and third year student at ! I’m so glad! nice to meet you! What is your name?”

“Ugh?!… Ah, Albit.”

Perhaps embarrassed by the constant barrage of handshakes, Albit relaxed his tearful expression and looked at me with his eyes wide.

I looked him in the eye, stopped shaking his hand, and spoke carefully.

“That… Rbit―☆ I know it’s rude to see each other for the first time, but… ”

“Yes… ?”

“Ho, could you please do me a favor from my senior? ?”

“Um, what favor do you have? ?”

Arbit’s expression is wide-eyed and stiff.

What on earth is this Ping-chang going to ask for from the first meeting after just finishing his speech?

I felt like they were looking at me with that question in mind.

I carefully walked up to Albit’s side, put my hands towards his white ears that were exposed by tying up his short brown hair, and whispered carefully.

“I… Actually, I don’t know how to handle basic ether… Please tell me―☆”

“… ”

“Dehet―☆”

“… ”

For reference, what is basic ether?

The first step in using physical force in the process of manipulating ether.

It meant the process of covering a sword or spear with red ether.

In this worldview, it was called [elementary education].

Albert’s final ordeal.

The only senior at the Academy is Ping Chang.

I couldn’t even pass elementary school.

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

“… ”

“Dehet―☆”

Takkong☆

For the last time, I stuck out my tongue and fed honey chestnuts to my own head with a sad heart.

Arbit’s expression as he watches it.

It resembled Sunuk’s expression when he received an empty box as a gift.

was an empty box.

Slurp-

In the end, Albit couldn’t overcome his despair and collapsed on the floor.

Oh, it’s ruined.

“Dehet―☆”
