Happy Reading~

===========

"Oh? So you guys succeeded too? As I thought." suddenly, a man’s voice was heard right behind us.

It’s true, that man, he was none other than the man who previously looked at me.

That seemed to be, the reason why he came to this place.

I knew, knew that this man meant to show his gratitude to me.

Initially, he had been prepared to surrender to his fate.

However, after he came out of the depths of the forest, he realized something.

Realizing that from the start, this exam was created to test students’ abilities.

It doesn’t matter what abilities they have, as long as they show their superiority.

The academy will automatically accept them, no matter what method they use.

Therefore, in this man’s mind, he thought that was the reason why he had successfully passed this exam.

It was all because of me, the one who had killed that monster.

If it weren’t for me, it would be impossible for this guy to be able to kill that monster.

Just look, the woman beside me, she also managed to pass this exam.

The reason was clear, it was because she had contributed greatly in the previous exams.

I have to admit, if it weren’t for this woman.

I don’t know whether I can pass or not.

Perhaps, it will take a lot of time for me to kill that monster.

Still, I feel grateful to be able to work with this woman.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to successfully enter the academy." said the man, not forgetting to smile broadly.

If asked what expression I showed, the answer is none.

I don’t know, I don’t know what to do anymore.

It felt like, I was being taken advantage of by this man.

Luckily, I had no intention of thinking that far.

In the end, they were the same as me, both taking part in eradicating the monster.

"Hah... Didn’t I tell you? It would be better for us to work together. That way, we would be able to defeat that monster faster." taunted the woman, thinking about how stupid this man was.

Had he accepted her offer earlier, he wouldn’t have had to embarrass himself.

And now, there was no longer any way for him to clear his name.

"Well… I’m sorry, I didn’t know that the rules for killing monsters were a lie. By the way, my name is Ian F. Hermit. If I may, I would also like to know the names of both of you."

"Hermit?" for a moment, the woman’s expression, showed a slight frown on her face.

Don’t know why, but she remembered a rumor.

This rumor, could be said to be a rumor about one of the children of the Hermit family.

It is said, that one of the children of the Hermit family was a failure.

"Are you…" as if realizing what was happening, the woman, she couldn’t help but want to say something.

Unfortunately, she decided to stop.

She noticed the way this man looked at her, as if filled with intimidation.

’I know...’ because had no other choice, she was forced to forget what happened.

Apart from that, she also didn’t forget to apologize.

After all, she knew that she had offended this man.

Hence, it was not strange for her to apologize.

"I’m sorry. My name is Siena Vi Bertude. I come from a middle-class noble family."

"Bertude? Isn’t that a noble ranked Marquis?" asked the man, knowing this woman’s last name.

In the empire, the Bertude family played quite a big role in guarding the borders.

Of course, their services were only appreciated in the past.

Currently, the Bertude family had completely declined significantly.

Perhaps, it was because they were unable to give birth to various superior seeds?

Who knows?

However, today and the previous era are not the same.

Every era will change, something they cannot avoid.

"Marquis? Isn’t that quite a high rank?" I asked, knowing how great the title of Marquis was.

In every western movie, I always hear about the Marquis family.

Normally, people from Marquis families had their own territories.

Supposedly, this woman’s family, they have their territory too right?

Whatever it is, I can’t interfere too much in their affairs.

After all, they and I don’t live in the same world.

"It’s true, the rank of Marquis can be said to be quite high. But they weren’t that great, they were categorized as a middle class noble family. Above the Marquis, there is the Duke. They are an unreasonable existence in this world, capable of leveling a small country." said the man, his name was Ian.

"Ah... I understand." still, I still don’t understand how powerful the leader of the Marquis family is.

To the point, that they cannot be placed in the ranks of upper-class nobles.

"Now, I want to know what your name is. From your prowess, I’m sure your family won’t be that lowly." finally, the man, he couldn’t help but intend to ask my name.

Among the three of us, I’m the only one who hasn’t introduced myself.

"Don’t be disappointed, my name is Noah Gleenth. I am an ordinary person."

For a moment, Ian and Siena’s expressions, their faces suddenly changed to disbelief.

"What…? Are you serious?" In their minds, they didn’t think that I was an ordinary person.

Suddenly, a hint of suspicion rose in their hearts.

They remember, remember a rumor.

This rumor, one could say, was a rumor that had recently spread around the empire.

"Are you the one who saved the princess?" Siena asked, knowing the rumors about me saving the Emperor’s daughter.

If it weren’t for me, they were afraid that the Emperor would be angry.

Of course, a big war would happen sooner or later.

"I see... So the rumors about ordinary people appearing in the academy are true?" Ian commented, unable to stop himself from continuing to stare at me.

From his perspective, he thought I was a freak.

Supposedly, if I were a commoner, it would be impossible for me to exert that much power.

But in reality, what he thought was wrong.

"Well... I think it would be better for you guys to stay away from me. All this is for your good. Otherwise, there will be some nobles coming to insult you." I explained, intending to tell them not to come too close to me.

If they were still by my side, their names would be tarnished.

However, I am an ordinary person.

As a commoner, I shouldn’t be friends with nobles.

"What the hell? What do you think we are? Don’t you know? I come from a lower class noble family. My father was a cattle herder. Our income is very low. In fact, we are not at all comparable to other nobles."

Don’t know why, after I heard Ian’s explanation.

I felt strange, thinking about how unfortunate the fate of their family was.

"Heh~, you’re a liar. You think I don’t know? Your family is-" don’t know why, before Siena could speak further.

Ian’s hand, subconsciously began to cover his mouth.

"Shut up... I will never consider them as my family. They are not worthy."

"Mmnnn!"

’...These people... Are they crazy? How dare they behave like that in front of the students.’ I thought, unable to stop myself from sighing.

Just look, the students’ gazes, they subconsciously started to turn towards us.

’Never mind... I wonder whether my life at the academy will go smoothly or not.’
