“Ma… nice to meet you… !!

Karla of the Department of Alchemy… It’s von Sterben… !!”

“Woo!! It’s hard!!”

“Carla von Sterben!! It turns out that there is a big controversy over social church manners!!”

“What is that… !!”

Carla finished her self-introduction in a fairly normal way.

However, at that very moment, when Karla had no time to be embarrassed by the sudden burst of booing as soon as she finished her self-introduction.

“It’s an honorific term in this social church!!

Hello!! Hit that Carla hard!!”

A lively boy from the alchemy department wearing a fake mustache, as if he had just had his wig repaired, appeared to be making a clear sound by hitting the steel cup with the spoon in his hand as he handed down the sentence.

“Oh… !! Eck!! for a moment!!

Ah haha!! Ah ha ha!! It tickles!!”

In response, the girls next to her started tickling Karla’s sides, and Karla, who enjoys tickling a lot, soon let out a happy scream and twisted her body.

Then, as other students came forward and introduced themselves, the mood of the students around them was noticeably lifted.

“Gideon de Charlemagne from the Department of Fusion Magic.

Even though I am married to a fusion magician, I ask you to take good care of me!!”

“That’s right!! This is my self-introduction!!

You are being a great example for everyone!!”

“Gerinel von Krandice of the Department of Pensions!!

I divorced Alchemy and am looking for a lover 24 hours a day!!”

“You’re trying to satisfy your selfishness by introducing yourself!!

I didn’t do it either!! This is an aggravated punishment for a shameful crime!! Hit that guy hard too!!”

“Uggyaggya!!”

In the midst of a self-interested public trial(?) atmosphere, between giggling female students and squirming male students.

Karla, who was in the middle, smiling brightly with other friends, seemed to be intoxicated by the fun atmosphere of a social gathering with a lively smile despite her self-introduction.

Meanwhile, the faces she knew began to appear in Carla’s eyes.

“Please consider it an honor to meet me, you poor people.

Because I am the head of the Department of Pharmacy and the Tang Dynasty.”

In some ways, Dang Hye-ryeong was a very rude woman, but perhaps due to the special situation of being a socialite, she seemed to be seen as a pleasant concept.

“Ahahaha!! What a concept!!”

“Wow!! It’s Gongdu!!”

“Ah… Sometimes I get tired of being so perfect… The popularity of this body… …

I will personally step on the guy who speaks harder.”

“Wow!! Industry award!!”

“A bowl of rice in no time!!”

“What kind of crazy nonsense is this?!”

However, she was able to somehow bring out her personality and use it, but she seemed to be backing away while receiving cheers from male students who were enthusiastic about her slightly cynical smile.

And the place where she quietly sat down was right next to Carla.

“Uh… … ”

“See you again? Was it Sterben?”

When the girl he had noticed since the self-introduction approached him, Hyeryeong, who had her butt pressed against the astonished Carla, was talking to her with a proud expression on her face.

“Ah… !! At that time… !!”

“That’s right. At that time, your brother was somewhat indebted to me.

Because it couldn’t compete with what was in the ground, I even had to sprinkle precious salve on the ground.

Moreover, he said he was doing emergency repairs on that steel bird, and even borrowed a pin from me.”

“It was the Department of Pharmacy… … !! It’s been a while!!”

The woman from the special evaluation who was next to Antonio and coordinated his natural attacks and defenses together.

Carla reminded me of the graceful movements of her body that seemed to be dancing, as she naturally adjusted the timing of switching between attack and defense towards Arachnella, matching her older brother, whose body was creaky even with a simple dance.

“But Pin… … ? Is it by any chance a golden pin with the plating slightly peeling off the end?”

“You seem to know? That’s right.

But anyway, if you scrape a lot of spider webs off the bird, you have to get it back… ”

“That… … When my brother returned home, he wore it on his cloak… … ”

“.. wouldn’t be worth it… … !!

There would be no use in getting it back!!

I.. Nana.. It’s something I borrowed from a man!!”

Watching Hye-ryeong’s complexion turn blue in an instant, I wonder if it’s because of my mood that I feel like it’s easy to understand.

“Ha… ha? doesn’t care!! so… Where was I wearing it? … ?”

“In the chest… ? I think it was used instead of a brooch to fasten the cloak… ”

“ㅁ… what… … ? You guys just use brooches…

That much… Maybe I should have… !! Hmm!!”

“Ahaha… … ”

‘Something breaking news…’ … ‘

I didn’t really see it that way, but Hye-ryeong’s attitude seems to be not all about being arrogant.

Feeling as if her precious brother was in great danger, Carla, who had a shocked expression on her face, could only give a weak smile.

After the students’ self-introductions were over, Lucas stood up and clapped his hands, as if he had something to say.

Soon, Lucas, who was lightly ruffling his own white hair, began to shout in a loud voice as if addressing the dozens of students sitting around him.

“This social gathering is a party hosted by our family for all of us.

So, for now, everything that happens here is going to be left undisclosed.

I hope that it will remain as a pleasant memory where we can freely interact with each other.

So, regardless of family or whatever, let’s all have fun during this party!!”

“Wow!!”

While everyone is enthusiastic about Lucas’s words, which are quite convincing,

“And as a special request, we invited a few more people.

They viewed this social club positively and participated. As everyone in the know probably knows, they are seniors from each department!!

Some people have already graduated, and even some are working as teaching assistants!!

Then, please introduce yourself!!”

For a moment, the students started to get excited about the surprise appearance, but the spotlight was shining on five or six people who were walking in one by one, probably because they were waiting in the back.

Although it would not be strange to say that they are still students, these people exude a strangely mature feel.

Depending on how they open their mouths, the students’ reactions also vary slightly.

“My name is Hagins von Verdiem, and I am currently graduating from the Department of Energy Engineering.

It’s an event for freshmen, but I’m not sure if it’s the right place for me to attend.”

“Saihar de Karzina. This is the Department of Magical Convergence.

I may not have a fun personality, but please take care of me.”

“Lucia de Borgia.

I also graduated this time, but currently remain as an instructor in the swordsmanship department and educate juniors.

It wasn’t originally planned, but I ended up attending after receiving an interesting request.

I just happened to bring a junior who I’m training, so let’s get to know each other.”

Just like that, the students of the swordsmanship department and the magic department, which made up the majority in the social community, seemed to cheer at the sight of a face they knew.

It seems that Lucia was quite a celebrity.

For both men and women.

And as attention was focused on the junior she had brought, there was puzzlement in the eyes of other students, and shock in the students of the swordsmanship department.

“Ah, is that the first-year friend you were talking about?”

A girl in a dress appeared behind Lucia at her signal and slowly lowered her head, tucking her long purple hair behind her ear.

“I.. Hello… ? that… Anne… ”

And of course, the first to recognize her were two people, but only one person seemed to react violently.

“Miss Monethen!!”

“Ahh!! That last time… !!”

Looking at Anne, Hyeryeong jumped up from her seat and next to Carla, who was shouting happily, was sighing a little, with a grim expression on her face as if she was displeased.

Anne followed the sound and looked at Carla, making a shocked expression as she recalled an unforgettable memory.

Lastly, I couldn’t use the escape artifact comfortably in the dungeon, and how much trouble I had to go through tanking alone on the way to life.

As I looked at Carla, the memory of how I felt like I was dying because I had to cover so many people, not just protecting Marie, came back to me again.

“It’s been a really long time… !! How have you been?”

“Ugh… That’s right… but… … ”

As the other students, who did not know what had happened between them, were still looking puzzled, Carla was finally starting to explain the background of her acquaintance to the others.

“You helped me during the last special evaluation…

My escape artifact was broken… …

Miss Monehen is in the same group as my brother… … ”

“You’re a grateful person for helping Carla, right?

Monehen… No, you said Anne, right? Let’s be friendly too?”

“Uh.. Yes… … ”

That was the moment when the situation continued warmly, with even the students of the Department of Alchemy welcoming Anne, who had helped Carla.

From behind Karla’s shoulder, a somewhat familiar mustache was floating in the air.

“In that sense, I really criticize Carla for using polite language again!!

How can we become friends with that attitude!!”

“Ah… Aha.. Ahahaha!! Aaaaa!! Don’t stop!!”

.

Anne also had a situation.

She had strong self-esteem and a strong desire to improve her abilities.

All she valued was her family, and she focused all her time on training.

‘I am… I’m going to graduate soon and help the family… … ‘

Moreover, I didn’t have any particular relationship with most of the students in the swordsmanship department.

Most first-year students found it difficult to approach Anne, whom Vivian, their senior, openly ostracized and was hostile to.

So, even if I didn’t necessarily treat her poorly, I think there would have been some problems with being close to her.

‘Those guys… … It’s okay even if you don’t have it… … ‘

‘Hmm… … That’s right… … ?

‘Try to make some time tomorrow.’

‘yes… … ?’

That’s why he didn’t really have anyone he could call a friend, and when Lucia found out, he was captured.

However, when Lucia, who did not understand what she was really thinking, heard that Anne had participated in this event as a senior for her own sake, Anne could never say anything displeasing.

‘I’m not even prepared at all… …

I don’t have any money to spend on that… … ‘

Anyway, according to Lucia, who persuaded Anne, who was reluctant to refuse because only her body was dragged along, that she would procure the clothes and personal items herself.

It was truly a display of the tremendous drive and ability of the Duke of Borgia, who could be called the great power of the Kingdom of Groden.

Anne, who had been dragged in without knowing why, was left speechless when she saw the thorough preparations that had been made, from the perfect-fitting dress to makeup and accessories.

‘this… … It must be expensive… … ‘

Anne’s skin was originally good, but it seemed to have become even whiter, and her soft cheeks were reflected in the mirror.

And when Anne looked in the mirror at the earrings with beautiful bright red gems dangling gently on her earlobes, she swallowed her saliva when she guessed that the price of these was equivalent to a year’s worth of operating expenses for the top family.

Of course, there would be a need to return it later, but Anne was a little frightened by Lucia’s attitude of readily giving away such items, claiming that she had used them.

Male students, regardless of whether they were from the swordsmanship department or other departments, had blank expressions on their faces as they looked at Anne’s beautiful transformation, and some of the female students seemed to be able to perfectly guess the clothes and accessories she was wearing. .

‘why… … ?’

Why does Lucia give such undeserved treatment to herself, who is just a junior and does not even know her face?

Unlike before, when he wore simple, unadorned school uniform just for training, he could feel other people’s eyes on him.

He is trusted by Lucia, who has everything, including family and status, to the extent of bringing him to the social church where he teaches.

That alone was because she was very unfamiliar with the current situation where so many people were looking at her in a new way.

At the same time, Anne was having deep thoughts.

Now that we’ve finished introducing each other, the atmosphere is gradually becoming quieter.

And Lucas, the host of this social event, who felt the need to move on to the next step, slowly got up from his seat.

“Okay then!! I think this is all we need to introduce ourselves to each other!!

Would you like to play a game now?

Of course, games are the best way to become friends!!”

“No way!! No way!!”

“Proden Family’s specialty!!

Let’s start the Wicked game!!”

“Wow!!”

Looking at the reactions of people who couldn’t contain their enthusiasm at his one word, only a few who still didn’t know what was going to happen were just tilting their heads with dumbfounded expressions.
