When the assembly hall engulfed by silence, the headmaster was the first one to open his mouth, breaking the silence .

「It must have been a malfunction, bring out the spare magic tool . 」

They immediately prepared the extra magic tool, and she put her hand again on the crystal .

「……It’s level 99 . 」

Well, it’s the same result as the previous measurement .

The teacher began taking turns to measure their level to make sure the magic tool is working correctly . The students started to get noisy .

Amidst the uproar, I was trying my best to escape the reality that I maxed my EXP and it will waste . Let me explain .

The teachers convinced that the tool isn’t broken . Then, one of the teachers approaches me .

「Lady Yumiela, are you aware of your level?」

I thought of deceiving them . After this, I do not doubt that I’d have to anticipate the suspicion for the next three years . I wonder if I can speak honestly .

I’m nervous with the thought of spending time on the ball, but I need to focus on getting this done .

「Yes, I think there are no mistakes on my level . 」

「The magic tool itself is normal . Did you in one way or another interfering with the magic tool?」

「No, I’m sure with my level . 」

「You might not have known, but you can’t level up without defeating a monster . 」

Even though I answered honestly, they suspect me for level manipulation . The world is a hard place to live for honest people .

The students watching were noisy and the teachers didn’t seem convinced, then the headmaster asks me to return to my seat .

「Everyone, please calm down . The truth of her words will become clear once the class begins . Lady Yumiela, after you finished your greetings, please return to your seat . 」

He gave me a sidelong glance when addressing me . It seems the headmaster didn’t believe me either .

Will you believe me if I wipe out the academy with my magic?

「My name is Yumiela Dolknes . Thank you . 」

I gave up trying to explain it with words, it’s impossible . I ended up with a simple greeting before returning to my seat .

Afterward, the level measurement and greetings continue in a restless atmosphere .

The heroine is the only commoner who stands out in the game story, and the entrance ceremony is over without any fuss .

Sorry, heroine-chan .

They held a buffet party after the ceremony to welcome the new students . I didn’t know everyone and no acquaintance either, so I was just standing on the corner .

When I think of returning early to my dormitory using not feeling well as an excuse, I locked my eyes on someone who’s coming straight to myself .

He looks angry, and he’s one of the people I don’t want to be involved in this Academy .

「Hey, you, the black-haired girl! What kind of trick did you do? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!」

Without any preface, capture target number 2 keep on talking with his loud voice .

William Ares is a guy with fiery red hair, the hero party’s swordsman .

He has a strong sense of justice but quick to anger, typical muscle-brain .

「Um… are you talking about level measurement?」

「What else, duh? I know you want to stand out, but don’t you have any pride as a noble?!」

William, who is about to strike, is stopped by someone who has followed him .

「Calm down, Will . I understand your feelings, but this is not a place to make a ruckus . 」

The one who calms William with practiced ease is capture target number 1 .

With shiny blond hair, Edwin Balshine, the second prince and the main hero . He is a magic swordsman who uses both swords and magic .

I gave a quick bow with the prince’s appearance .

「Nice to meet you, Your Highness . My name is Yumiela Dolknes . 」

「Count Dolknes house… central wannabe, huh?」

Prince Edwin mumbles and then speak to me .

「Lady Yumiela, Will has been working hard on his swordplay ever since he was a child and reached level 10 before he entered the academy . What have you done is trampling on his hard work . 」

「Huh…」

Why everyone assumes that I was cheating? Will you believe me if I randomly shooting magic in this hall?

「Excuse me, I didn’t lie about my level . As the headmaster said, you will know when the class begins . 」

「Huh, are you going to be stubborn that you aren’t in the wrong?」

Said Prince Edwin in displeasure, William starts speaking .

「Do you think you’re stronger than me? You should be thankful I didn’t bring my glove with me right now!」

Are you going to propose a duel? William-kun, you’d better take good care of your life .

The people around us trying to listen to our conversation discreetly when the capture target number 3 appeared .

「Level 99 isn’t realistic, is it even possible? I don’t think so . 」

Oswald Grimsad is a guy with a contemptuous manner, a blue-haired wizard with glasses .

Finally, all the capture targets are here .

The three of them are childhood friends with good relationships to call each other with pet names Ed, Will, and Oz .

Traditional golden prince, wild red swordsman, and cool blue wizard . In this world, there are many shapes of beauty, but these three are exceptional . They look good to admire, but to be involved with them is another matter . It’s too much trouble .

「Hey, are you going to say something?」

It seems that William was out of the numbness from my silence .

「I don’t think you will believe in my words . 」

「You! How can you say that?!」

「Did you even use your brain to think?」

「Did you had the habit of lying?」

When I want to break up these three foulmouthed conversations, they suddenly changed the topic and talked about the heroine .

「There was a commoner who used light magic . If you aren’t troubled, why don’t you speak to her?」

「Yeah, that will be better than listening to your bullshit . Later when the class begins, I’ll be ready when they prove your lies . 」

Prince Edwin leaves with his two companions after saying his piece .

Ah, I’m tired . Let’s return to the dormitory .

Back in my own room, I had my maid Rita to brew me a cup of black tea .

I guess doing this kind of thing made me feel like a real noble, you know?

Learning the manners on how to drink black tea back at the residence in Dolknes territory, this is a fresh change .

「Ojou-sama, you’re back early . Did you enjoy yourself? The party isn’t over yet, is it?」

「It’s fine, I don’t think I’ll get along well with anyone . 」

「You won’t find anyone if you felt like that . Master will be troubled . 」

She is a maid from House of Dolknes in the royal capital who had entered the academy since yesterday .

I don’t think maid is needed since there are specialized staff handling the dining hall and laundry available at the academy . I’m afraid it was my father’s order .

It’s only been 2 days since we met, but she keeps telling me to find a marriage partner .

My father must have ordered her . Perhaps, she also serves as my chaperone .

「Classes will start in earnest tomorrow, ojou-sama will also have a pleasant encounter . Aren’t you in the same class as the second prince?」

However, His Highness already leaving a bad impression . Maybe she didn’t know about the uproar I caused at the entrance ceremony? Is it alright for her to be my chaperone?

「Ne, let’s change the topic . Do you know what the meaning of central wannabe?」

「Did someone said that to you? Ojou-sama shouldn’t worry about it . 」

I was thinking about what Prince Edwin mumbled when he heard my family name, so I asked Rita about it . It doesn’t mean as good as I expected .

「But I didn’t say anything . That word seems to refer to House of Dolknes . 」

「Ah . 」

Rita begins explaining what she knew .

「You know about the central and local nobles, right?」

「Mhm, we’re local nobles, right? We don’t seem to hold any managerial position in the royal capital . 」

「Yes . Central wannabe is disparaging words referring to local nobles who always stay in the royal capital even though we don’t hold any managerial position in the central . 」

「Ah, good-for-nothing nobles who grow senile without working at the royal capital and entrust their territory to others . 」

There’s disapproval in Rita’s face, that good-for-nothing noble is her boss after all . I had a deep sigh, that good-for-nothing noble is my father, too .

Classes begin in earnest from today . We had classroom lectures in the morning and basic practical skills in the afternoon .

Naturally, I was alone in the classroom . If you’re involved and noticed by the prince, it’s beyond your power and no one won’t be seen together with you .

Sitting alone in my seat, I tried to listen to the gossip around me . According to the gossip, I had a flower garden in my brain and believed in myself for no reason .

Should I completely wipe out the academy or the royal capital to prove my level?

Just before the class starts, Prince Edwin’s trio and heroine-chan enter the classroom together . The four are chatting friendly with each other .

Isn’t the capture too early?

The heroine’s name is Alicia Enlight . You could rename it in the game, but the default was Alicia . She had pink blond hair; the heroine characteristic is her positive and cheerful personality .

Since the people with light magic is scarce, that’s the reason she’s allowed to enroll at the academy . Light magic is the only weakness in dark attribute, and it can be a trump card against the demon king .

If following the game scenario, she shouldn’t be in contact with the capture targets yet . Was it because I told them to speak to her yesterday?

I don’t want to be too involved with her like the capture targets, but I guess that’s asking the impossible .

Because in a moment where our eyes met, she glared at me with resentful eyes .
