Noblesse

The highest and strongest faction in the Academy founded by Princess Maeb.

Total number of people: 800

It is an organization known to be comprised of nobles who can use magic, and in that respect, its fighting power is unrivaled by any force except Sentinels.

And he is the second leader of Noblesse, and is proud to have been the greatest favorite of the former princess.

The eldest daughter of a Marquis family, she is turning 16 this year.

She is characterized by her slightly small body and shiny brown hair that flows like a carpet.

Elastine Rosenia has been experiencing some pretty extreme mood swings over the past few weeks.

“Haaah… Why are there so many crazy things happening lately..”

Just before the semester starts.

Until then, to be honest, the feelings that Elastine was feeling were…

The word bleak was fitting.

After Princess Maev graduated and Elastine took over as faction leader, the power and authority that Noblesse had held had been noticeably declining with each passing semester.

Noblesse was originally run by the power, authority, and charisma of Princess Maeb, and Elastine herself was one of the first people to set foot in Noblesse, fascinated by Princess Maeb.

Although the purpose of Noblesse was to protect the power and authority of witches and magicians of noble blood within the academy, in reality, half of them were fans of Princess Maeb.

However, after the princess who had been the center of gravity disappeared, Noblesse’s momentum was greatly dampened.

Although it was a predicted future, the impact was greater than Elastine, who took over as the second president, had expected.

About 30% of the senior students left the faction due to the riots that occurred immediately after Maeb’s graduation, and the number of new members has also decreased significantly compared to before.

Fortunately, thanks to Maev giving a long speech before leaving that the faction needed to be maintained in order to maintain the authority of the nobles, the unrest among the general members was not serious enough to lead to a mass withdrawal, but it was clear that the power of Noblesse was not what it used to be.

And in this situation… Elastine was trying her best to overcome this difficult situation as the next leader of Nobless. Despite her efforts, Nobless was not able to recover its previous momentum and began to falter.

On the other hand, as the power of the strongest faction, Noblesse, weakened, the small and medium-sized factions that had been suppressed without making a sound until now began to expand their influence with great momentum. As a result, Noblesse and Elastine had no choice but to have a very difficult time both inside and out.

Whenever she faced various difficulties in such hardships, the image of Princess Maev always came to Elastine’s mind, and at the same time, she did her best to resolve the situation in order to repay the princess who believed in her and entrusted her with this position.

However, it is also true that elastin itself is becoming more and more tired, regardless of the effort.

Elastine returned to the academy after the vacation, expecting that this semester would be equally difficult.

But soon after, Elasti met an unexpected and welcome person again.

That’s… that person who I thought would have graduated from the academy and left for good.

Princess Maev Rune Caesar Augustina returned to the Academy as a teacher.

A figure who is the founder and symbol of Noblesse.

Immediately after learning of her return,

Instead of worry and concern, Elastine’s heart began to fill with feelings of joy and hope.

The return of Princess Maeb meant that the wandering Noblesse had once again found a solid center of gravity, and this could be seen as an opportunity to correct the shaken faction and regain its former glory.

And, indeed, with the return of Princess Maeb as a teacher, the Noblesse faction began to recover quickly, regaining stability.

This is a truly delightful fact for Elastine, who has been working hard to maintain the Noblesse faction.

However, while Noblesse’s recovery was important to Elastine, there was something else that made her even happier.

That was the fact that Princess Maeb, her idol and the person she admired passionately, had returned to her side.

In the first place, the reason she took on the position of second leader of the Noblesse faction was not because she was greedy for things like power or fame, nor was it because of the authority of the nobles.

All of this was ultimately because of a request from Princess Maeb, the person she had sworn allegiance to.

She had done everything she could to protect the precious thing she had left behind.

For her, the return of Princess Maeb was such an overwhelmingly moving event that she felt it was a reward from God for her efforts up to that point.

However, now that those moments of intense happiness have passed and things have settled down to some extent…

In Elastine’s heart, emotions that surpassed past happiness and joy were taking hold.

that..

It was a burning, intense emotion called jealousy.

It was about a month after school started that she began to feel this way.

It was when I went to Princess Maeb’s private office to meet her under the guise of a coincidence.

As always, Elastine was very excited about meeting her idol and master, Princess Maeb.

However, right after that, the scene that Elastine happened to see there was quite a shocking picture for her.

It was… a picture of a male student sitting alone with Princess Maeb, working hard on something.

And, it was the face of Princess Maeb, who was blushing slightly and showing an emotion of extreme happiness as she looked at the male student.

It is literally the face of a woman in love.

The moment she realized that fact, jealousy automatically began to burn brightly in Elastine’s heart.

It was Elastine who had always looked at her with kindness, admiration, and pride, and through this, she was convinced that she was the person in this world who received the most trust and love from Princess Maev.

However, this belief of hers was greatly damaged by the sight of Princess Maeb sending the gaze of the woman she loved, who had never shown it to her, to a man she had never seen before.

This naturally started to fuel Elastine’s feelings of jealousy towards the boy in question.

‘No way… There’s a man who receives such love from the princess, leaving me aside… What kind of guy does he even do? A man who isn’t even a member of Noblesse, and who rolled in somewhere, dares to love the princess…’

Elastine, who was consumed by jealousy for a while and couldn’t even sleep at night.

However, after some time, her feelings of jealousy began to change again in a different form.

‘Really… what is that guy doing?’

A man who brought out the appearance of the princess that even he, who had served Princess Maeb for many years, had never seen before.

The more she thought about the man, the more Elastine’s anger began to turn to curiosity, and so she began to use Noblesse’s network of information to investigate the man in question.

And… Elastine’s feelings after seeing the results soon began to change to surprise.

‘What is this guy… I knew he wasn’t a noble, but I never thought he would be that woman’s… Princess Katlena’s subordinate.’

Elastine also knew very well who Princess Katlena was.

The younger sister of Chairman Elios, Princess Maev’s greatest enemy, and a princess who briefly gained fame due to the banned drug nectar incident.

Elastine’s doubts and curiosity about the fact that the servant of such a woman and Princess Maeb were having a sweet rendezvous, from her perspective, only deepened.

‘I need to look into it in more detail… Maybe Princess Maeb is up to something related to this matter…’
