The Imperial Academy has a special system.

A system that ranks cadets and gives more support to cadets with higher rankings.

But, this support was no joke.

They are pouring out the budget like crazy with the mindset of giving it to those who can do it.

That’s why all cadets are obsessed with rankings.

Raise my level with your full support.

To achieve fame and fortune in the empire after graduating from the academy.

but…

If you have no intention of becoming successful, then there is no need to be obsessed with it.

With that in mind, I calmly went about my business even in the auditorium where the rankings were being measured.

-Knock knock.

“Louis, Louis. By the way, you know how to use magic~?”

The thing to do, of course, is to connect Louis and Irene.

I pretended to ask a question and rubbed my body against Irene’s shoulder.

Since Louis, Irene, me and Shepor were sitting in that order, her body was naturally pushed a little towards Louis.

As their arms brushed against each other, Louis scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“I know how to use magic, but I can’t use magic.”

“Oh my, really?”

-Talk.

On the other hand, Irene leaned against Louis.

As if it couldn’t be helped because I’m pretty, naturally.

… Irene catches my intentions exactly and accepts them.

It was so amazing that I couldn’t help but laugh.

-Hehehehe.

“Well, Louis opened the window… .”

-Hug.

“… … Huh?”

However, my smile did not last long.

It was Irene who grabbed my arm and pulled me towards her.

As befitting the tallest of us all. And quite strong for a woman.

My upper body fell helplessly toward her.

-To-ok.

“Oh my, Your Highness. You must be tired. Hehe.”

“… … ?”

Oh my, I fell down with a new pick and my body was torn apart.

Let’s look up to see what it is…

My eyes met with Louis’s as he looked down at me.

My head was resting exactly on Louis’ thigh.

‘… Huh? Irene, what’s going on?’

I blinked without knowing English.

Since Shepor volunteered to be my height-raising cushion, I was originally resting my butt on her thighs.

Because I was lying down like this, my body was spread out on the three of their thighs as a bed.

Louis supports my head, Irene supports my sides and thighs, and Shepor supports my butt.

‘If you do this, I won’t be able to push you towards Louis… .’

“Prince Louis, would you please bear with the inconvenience for a little while? For the sake of the princess.”

“… As much as you want.”

‘… Irene, you thought about it all!!!?’

However, I soon realized Irene’s true intentions and was greatly impressed.

If I lie down like this, it is only natural that all three of them will be unable to move in their current state.

Irene and Louis had no choice but to spend time with their shoulders pressed against each other.

In a static and exciting atmosphere, completely different from the one where I was forcing myself to push.

…this kind of design here?

I immediately telepathically complimented Irene.

[How did you come up with this idea!? Irene, are you a genius!!?]

-Molkang molkang.

[Haha. I told you to trust me, Princess. Have a good time.]

[Yeah! You too!!]

Irene’s hand gently patted my stomach.

Just like I patted your thigh in the previous lecture.

He told me to just trust him, so I smiled bashfully and said I understood.

Louis muttered at the sight.

-Mumble mumble.

“Girls really do all sorts of things… .”

“Huh? Louis, what did you say?”

“Nothing.”

For some reason, Louis had a very uneasy expression on his face…

Well, that’s Louis. I guess he’ll just have to endure ‘it’s not very ripe’.

I just looked at the two of them with their shoulders pressed against each other and chuckled.

What the heck, what the heck. What are you two already doing?

* * *

After that, the three of them continued chatting with me on their laps.

Since it was almost our turn to measure horsepower, we took it easy.

“The first ranking is measured only by horsepower, so Louis, you might unexpectedly get a high ranking?”

“Well, if you only consider the amount of horsepower, it would be ranked. I’m not really interested in the ranking though.”

“Well, if you were going to care about rankings, you should have just used your body in the first place.”

First of all, Louis.

Perhaps because he is the eldest son of a grand duke, he showed no concern for rank.

and,

“Shepor, you? Since you applied to the magic department, are you good at magic?”

“I can’t write at all! I don’t have any magic power!”

“… Why did you come to the academy?”

“To make Estee sit on my lap… Hehe, hehehe… I’m happy… … .”

“… … .”

Shepor, the second daughter of the author, also had no regard for rank.

He just gasps for breath, as if he’s happy to be my friend.

That’s why my eyes turned to Irene for the last time.

“Shepor If you’re okay with that. Then, what about Irene? Do you think you’ll rank well?”

‘Well, the goal is to get to the middle.’

I asked out of courtesy, but I knew the answer I was going to get.

The goal would be to get right in the middle.

To graduate from the academy safely, obtain a decent status, and live a normal life.

With her powers sealed away, that was the best she could do.

In fact, Irene gave a similar answer.

“Because my horsepower is so small… I don’t care about the early rankings, and I’m going to try to raise my ranking through theory tests. I’d like to get to the middle ranks.”

“Huh. You’re the exact opposite of Louis… That’s right!! Don’t you think it would be good if you taught Louis some of your theories later on!!?”

‘Like a library date, or cramming in your room right before an exam… This is delicious. This is definitely delicious!!’

With the expected answer, I naturally laid the groundwork for a study date.

I looked up at them both brightly.

What do you think about this delicious situation?

“I told you I don’t care about rankings. Just be sweet with those of you who like magic.”

‘You idiot moron…!! Look at least half as much as Irene, you chubby piece of shit!!’

…Louis overturned the table that was set for him.

Unlike Irene, who creates opportunities out of thin air, she refuses them even when they are offered to her.

I was so annoyed that I puffed out my cheeks and attacked Louis.

Even if you say it was an attack, it was just a headbutt to the thigh.

“Brrr!!!”

-Kong kong.

“… … .”

But Louis doesn’t even blink an eyebrow.

Even the world’s Irene sighed, perhaps feeling frustrated.

“Haa… Prince Louis, don’t say that. I know it’s weird to say this, but I’m confident in my theory, right?”

“So I… .”

“Here, Princess, Prince Louis, and Master Cepor. I can teach you the theory. Let’s study together. Yes?”

But the indomitable Irene didn’t miss the study date angle I had created.

It seems like the heroine of a romance novel would be a good example of her getting involved with Shepor because she felt burdened by being alone.

Louis barely nodded.

“… Well, if it’s only women who do that, then I guess I’ll be a bit more cautious. Okay. ”

“Good idea, Louis!!”

‘Irene, nice!!’

It’s a bit unfortunate that the two-person study date fell through…

I’m Shepor, Irene is Louis.

It would be perfect if I could teach like this.

“Is Shepordo okay?”

-Bubibubibubib.

“Ugh… Of course!!!”

I rubbed her buttocks slightly as if to ask if she was okay, and of course she responded positively.

A smile spread across my lips.

‘Hehe. Your dates are already packed starting from the second day. Are you two going to start dating before you even take your midterms?’

“But, Estee?”

“Huh?”

But my smile didn’t last long.

It was because Louis opened his mouth with a slightly pale face, perhaps because it was getting harder to hold back the words, “It’s not ripe.”

“Unlike me, Estee, you really came here to learn magic. What rank do you think you’ll get?”

“Esti, you are the direct disciple of the court magician, Sir Stella. You can definitely take first place!!”

“Your telepathy magic proficiency is also amazing. Will you be able to take first place in the future?”

“Hmm… .”

As the three of them looked down at me, my face became serious.

… 1st place, it is possible.

My master said that my talent in illusion magic is considerable.

Because I eat a lot of good things, my magical power also increases.

The academy’s top ranking is like chewing gum.

But soon I just chuckled and shook my head.

“Not to that extent~ I think it’ll probably be around 30th place?”

‘I’m not a kid. I don’t need to be obsessed with being number one when I don’t need to.’

Support given to the first place?

I was anxious because the president couldn’t support me, so there was no need for something like that.

Promised promotion?

She is already the princess from the front and the real power behind the TS Brigade.

That’s why I decided to hide my strength appropriately.

There’s no benefit to standing out, so just enough so as not to tarnish the Master’s name.

And, as soon as I finished thinking.

My name was called.

“Then… Your Highness, Princess Esti Noir d’Abruen.”

“Ah, it’s my turn. I’ll be back~.”

-Boom. Boom. Boom.

I got up lightly and headed towards the stage.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on me.

-Growling.

-Your Highness, what rank will you be in?

-Didn’t you see that welcome yesterday? It was quite large. I’m sure it would be in the top ten.

-Look at the way you walk. You’re so cute~.

-Isn’t your gait completely cat-like?

-Aren’t you going to put the headband back on?

‘… Maybe around 20th place?’

The word ‘cat’ that I heard in passing.

Since it was obvious that I was going to mention my dark past earlier, I decided to show off my skills a little more.

I thought that if I showed a little cool side of myself, I wouldn’t be forgotten.

As I walked like that, I soon found myself standing in front of a stone slab.

“Your Highness, please place your hand on the stone slab and infuse it with your magic power. ”

“Yes~.”

A stone tablet that measures the amount of magical power injected.

The first ranking in the Faculty of Magic was simply determined by how much magic power was thrown at it.

It’s not true that having high magical power means you’re at a high level, but it’s easy to do so anyway.

So I raised my hand slightly and pulled up only about 30% of the magic power I had.

The magic power was directly injected into the stone slab…

‘Oh, I suddenly sneezed… .’

“… Heechul.”

-Pick.

“… … Princess?”

… I was trying to inject it, but it failed because I suddenly sneezed.

Magic power that is barely the size of cookie crumbs.

Amidst everyone’s expressions of bewilderment, I quickly explained.

If things continued like this, the teacher’s reputation would be at risk.

This was a bit too sloppy, I guess.

‘No, what is this crappy amount!! Even if Shepor puts it in, it will come out more than this!!!’

“Sorry, sorry. I had to sneeze all of a sudden, so I made a mistake. Hehe. Can I do it one more time?”

“According to the regulations, you only have to do it once… .”

“Professor~ Don’t do that. Yes? Yes~?”

-Bubibubibubib.

Me, desperately trying to act cute in order to improve my image after the cat ear incident.

As I rubbed my hands together, the professor smiled like a father.

“Well, if you’re going to continue right away, then it doesn’t matter.”

“Thank you!!”

A smile means permission.

I quickly placed my hand on the slate, hoping that the professor would change his mind.

-Hug.

‘I won’t make a mistake this time…’

“… Heechul!!”

-Paaah… …Squeak!!

“Oh, oh!! The amount of magical power that cannot be contained in a stone tablet, as expected of a princess!!!!”

“Ah.”

It’s ruined.
