March 15, 187, Jeokma Dormitory Central Hall.

“Lady, an official letter has arrived from the student council.”

“Wait! I’m on my way down, so you can’t open it and look ahead!”

Indira laughed lightly.

Although it had been more than 10 years since she served the Karsic duchy, Lady Mina always made those around her smile.

It is not a mocking smile like you would see at a clown, but a happy smile that comes from liveliness.

Mina ran down three or four stairs in one go and hurriedly opened the envelope.

“The Academy Student Council will notify you of the results of the Romantic Age Review Committee.

Mina Karcic is a second-year student who has not yet fully learned, and has not achieved any outstanding academic results…”

Mina’s voice trembled.

“But… I won 5 duels! Two of them were duels against third graders!

Also within the Red Horse Dormitory! He is well-liked among juniors due to his leadership and tolerance!

Considering the background of the Duke of Karsic’s daughter comprehensively!”

I was screaming when I read the last sentence.

The students who were doing their homework frowned, but what can they do?

If anything, he should have been born into a duke’s family.

“Mi! me! Karsic~! of! Register! her! Rock! bout! you! all!

I approve the listing of Mina Karcic~

I allow Mina Karcic to be listed~”

Mina tap danced and sang the song.

“Mina Karcic~”

“Hey, lady.”

“Registration~”

“That…”

“Allow me-”

“Mina.”

Mina’s body stiffened at the familiar voice.

She slowly turned back.

Mark Karcic, the eldest son of the Karcic duchy, waved his steel prosthetic hand and greeted his sister.

“I see you are doing well.”

“…Brother! Uh, um. So, this is…”

Mina immediately straightened up her clothes and hair that had become disheveled from dancing.

“This younger brother is embarrassed that he suddenly came into the dormitory without prior notice.

Indira, why didn’t you tell me that your brother was coming?”

“I asked you not to tell me.”

“Hohoho, brother, you’re being naughty.”

Mina desperately tried to act elegant.

Of course, I knew deep down that this would be of no use, but…

Still, shouldn’t you try it?

“What on earth happened to make our precious youngest child dance and sing?

Ever since my mother scolded me severely when I was 8, I have never shown myself like that at home.”

“Uh, um. Brother… To my parents…”

Mina’s complexion turned pale.

Mark absentmindedly snatched the letter from Mina’s hand with his right prosthetic hand.

“Duchess Mina Karcic. Academy, Red Horse, Duke Karsic, Human, 2nd year, Mina, Fire.

Single model unit, 15 points.

Movement 12, Defense 5, Resistance 5, Magic Power 4, Learning 2, Stamina 8…”

He stroked the scar on his chin with his left hand, not his prosthetic hand.

“I saw it on the way there too. I heard that fun soldier games are popular at the academy?”

“That… It’s not just a game. Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, the student council president, distributed it…

Also, it is not easy to be listed because professors review the listing…”

But Mina’s voice of excuse became increasingly quiet.

Mark turned his head and looked at Indira.

“Indira, the student council created this?”

“Master, let us explain first.”

“Could you answer my question first?”

“…Yes. That’s right. Developer Coleman Cantor is a special committee member of the Student Council.”

He nodded and said as if he had finished shopping.

“Then I guess I should go to the student council.”

“…Yes?”

“The Duke of Karsic must be made to pay the price for behaving so vulgarly.”

————————————————– ————————————————

No entry.

Deadline to apply for Romantic Era registration.

Model being produced at the Imperial Workshop. Delivery within a week.

Anyone who enters the student council room without permission will be severely punished according to school rules.

ah. I think I’ll buy it now.

I firmly attached the poster to the main door of the student council room.

The past few days have been a series of chaos, no, barbarism.

When all inventory was sold out, students went into a frenzy.

The rioters were throwing fireballs with their left hands and swinging iron bars with their right hands.

When I saw Koraji protesting in front of the student council room, screaming like an animal just because he received the game item a little late, it was impossible to tell whether this was really the best magic school on the continent or Iljin Comics’ Ddongtong High School.

Fortunately, once the professors kicked him out, he seemed to have cooled off and didn’t come again.

Still, just in case, it would be better to put up a poster and send a warning.

It would be a big problem if someone broke into the student council room while you were away.

I headed to the auditorium on the second floor of the student center.

Until last semester, there were plenty of chairs, but now there are 10 tables from the romantic era taking up space.

However, only five of them are rotating tables.

Perhaps that was why the chairman was frowning.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Compared to what was sold, there are actually fewer people playing it.”

“Isn’t everyone painting? And the percentage of completed crews will be a bit low.

look. There are quite a few spectators.”

I completely miscalculated my inventory.

I judged the dice, paint, and ratio of basic units and special units all wrong.

Therefore, the percentage of people who painted the complete crew and equipped all the dice was lower than expected.

“And it’s 10 o’clock in the morning. How many people come out at 10 o’clock and play games?”

“I see…”

“Don’t worry too much.”

Cleo came to the side and offered comfort to the chairman.

“I know this because my family is a merchant family, but no one can predict their first business.

Now that we have an estimate of how many people are doing it, we will be able to maintain adequate inventory in the future.”

“That would be good.”

“Ah, Mr. Coleman. The seats are empty. How about a round?”

“Good.”

Cleo went to an empty table and lined up five models.

The student council Avengers consist of Lilac, Tangaroa, Cleo, Hwayoung, and Coleman.

Hmm. What kind of crew should I bring out?

As I was thinking about that, a murmur from the entrance stopped my worries.

A sturdy, no, huge man wearing a red Imperial Army officer’s uniform entered with heavy steps.

His brown hair was matted, his rough-shaven beard, several scars on his face, and squinty eyes suggested that he was boneless.

The Crown Princess seemed to know him, and responded by nodding her head leisurely.

“Colonel Mark Karcic.”

“Meeting Her Highness the Crown Princess. And now I’m a former colonel. Because I was discharged a month ago.”

“Excuse me. I’m at school so the news is late, so please understand. I thought he was on active duty because he was wearing a military uniform.”

“There was no uniform to wear other than military uniform.”

“Then should I call him Marquis as is customary?”

“Yes, I would appreciate it.”

Karsichira, that is the name among the applicants for registration… Ah, that senior.

Mina Karcic’s face turned pale and she was holding on to the hem of Mark’s uniform.

“Originally, since the eldest son of Duke Karsic is here, I would have invited him to a meal and exchanged pleasantries, but I am busy right now. Since you didn’t make a promise in advance and didn’t say anything about coming, it wouldn’t be rude if you cheated.”

” When you say you’re busy, is this a story related to the soldier game? ”

I reflexively tensed.

The fact that this might happen was predicted.

Conservative parents and graduates may tackle this.

“Yes.”

“Then the story will be quick. That’s why I came.”

also…

I became anxious and looked at the princess’s face, but she was smiling brightly as always.

There was no sign of nervousness anywhere.

“My younger sister was so happy that she was included in this game that she forgot her body weight and sang and danced.”

“Brother, that is my negligence. A nuisance to the student council-”

“For making Karsic’s duke’s daughter so vulgar-”

“No! What does that have to do with this!”

I was dumbfounded and jumped out before the chairman even came out.

“Is there a law that says nobles cannot sing or dance?

And why should the student council take responsibility just because senior Mina did that?”

“Hoo.”

Mark’s black eyes shined.

“I guess you are the developer of this game, Coleman Cantor. The second son of Baron Cantor.”

“So? Our family is not a vassal of the Karsic family.

You don’t have the right to give me orders, do you?”

“That’s right. But I reserve the right to challenge you to a duel.

Because you are the one who caused my brother’s reputation to be tarnished!”

I was speechless and looked at the chairman with the feeling of asking for help…

This time she simply responded with a smile.

I thought for a moment and then shook my head firmly.

“I will refuse. It’s a justification I don’t understand at all.”

“Are you sure you don’t fight a duel worth losing?”

“No, I’m just not responding to a duel that makes no sense.”

“As expected, you’re sticking your tail out like a coward. But what if it’s like this?”

Mark Karcic snapped his fingers with his left hand.

Perfect! With the sound, dozens of people began to walk in.

it’s crazy? Are you really going to subdue me by force?

There’s a princess and you do things like that…

Wait, but those workers… why are they holding bags?

When Mark snapped his fingers a second time, eight bags opened.

After putting on gloves, the workers began to take out models from the romantic era one by one.

Displayed on the table were hundreds of cleanly painted models of red horses, blue dragons, black swans, and white sheep.

Except for the Crown Princess, all the students in the auditorium stopped breathing.

Mina Karcic expressed our feelings with a trembling voice.

“Brother?”

The corners of Mark’s mouth rose and he showed a mischievous smile.

“Cantor Coleman! I challenge you to a duel in the era of romance!

If you lose here, you too will have to sing and dance like my sister!”
