A month has passed since I entered the Royal Pioneer Academy.
Thanks to a number of incidents, my base of operations remained an ‘ordinary house’ as usual.
However, since the principal and vice principal, who are always trying to block me, are gone, I can now concentrate on pioneering …….
And I thought I was.
Until the next principal and vice principal arrived.
The new principal immediately gave us a powerful speech at the morning meeting at the beginning of the month, on that stage.
“I’m Kakeru-kun, the first headmaster of the Royal Academy of Settlement!
And over here is the vice principal, D’Lila!”
The new headmaster, “Kakeru-kun”, with his shaved head, fancy golden tuxedo, and full of father-boy feeling.
And “D’Lila”, a middle-aged woman dressed as a bunny girl and wearing a silver jacket.
It wasn’t just them that were strange, there were quite a few oddities in the schoolyard as well.
The stage that serves as the morning assembly platform is located at the edge of the schoolyard, but the area around us, which is the audience seating, is covered with a divided wall so that we cannot see our surroundings.
Kakeru-kun on stage said innocently in a high-pitched voice like a child.
“My occupation is ‘gambler’!”
The students, who had been keeping quiet until then, started to make a lot of noise.
“Seriously, you’re a gambler?”
“It is said to be a cursed profession, that ……?
“‘It is said that a man who is given the occupation of a gambler will not live to be twenty years old, and yet ……!
“And yet you’ve risen to become a headmaster. ……!
“That principal must be pretty amazing ……!
“As you know, gamblers are known as the ‘cursed profession’!
But at the same time, it’s also called ‘the strongest profession’!
Their power is said to surpass even the bravest!
I’m the gambler who is the closest thing to a hero, right?
Kakeru-kun pounds his chest, “Ahem.
“After all, I’m a super gambler …… who’s been called the ’10 billion man’!
I’ll use that power to lead you all!”
A round of applause erupts, “Oh!”
The fact that he was given the unfortunate job of a gambler, but lived to be over 20 years old and became a school principal seemed to win the hearts of the students.
“I’ll introduce you to my right-hand man, but I’ll also introduce you to my left-hand man!
It’s Weiss-san, the student body president!”
Weiss appears from the side of the stage as the new principal is introduced.
Weiss has become a hero in the school for exposing the wrongdoings of the former principal and vice principal.
“Now that I, a wise man, have become the student council president, I will show you an amazing method of cultivation that is different from anything you’ve seen before!
I want you all to believe in me and follow me!”
The students get even more excited, “Wow!
I was standing there alone, out of the way of the group.
Then the new principal proceeds to announce the top of the current class rankings.
1st place, class 1- 11, S rank
2nd place, class 1 – 02, A rank
3rd, Class 1 – 19, Rank B
4th place, class 1 – 06, C rank
4th, Class 1 – 16, Rank C
Class 1-11 it remains at the top as a rank.
And my former class of 1 -20 , which was ranked 5th at the entrance ceremony, has fallen out of range.
