Chapter 228: 229

Chapter 229

TL: Zimmings

“It’s the same guardian star as the founding emperor of the empire. It has never come out…….”

Mina asked with her eyes wide open.

“What is the God’s star?”

“It is also called the star of the hero. It is a star of great heroes, such as the founding emperor and the legendary knight who subjugated the dragon king.”

“Aha…….”

When Mina nodded her head, the people around her got excited.

“It’s a huge thing! If their guardian star is the God’s star, they are considered a hero as soon as they are born!”

“Hm, I have a different opinion.”

“Huh?”

“It’s just that we were born at the same time. No one can be sure how a child born with the God’s star will grow up. Perhaps a child born with the God’s star may have lived under the pressure of a sense of duty, ‘I am destined to be born as a hero, so I have to live as a hero’. So I don’t think it’s that great.”

Mina muttered with the tip of the fork in her mouth, and the surroundings became quiet.

Every world has its own rules.

According to Chul-soo, there are customs in his world and Mina’s, such as [respecting elders], [offering ancestral rites on holidays], and [dressing in black at funerals].

Those customs are already like the law there, and it couldn’t be questioned.

Of course, there are such things in our world as well, but Mina, who came from another world, pointed out those things here. And the point is-

“You’re talking very strangely.”

People won’t accept her words.

A few students looked at Mina with an antagonistic expression.

“What Miss Mina just said sounds like we’re shifting our duties to you.”

“A child with a star of God enjoys rights that are different from those of ordinary children. For example, Ligetoris, the legendary knight who subjugated the Dragon King, has the status of a commoner, but was educated at the royal palace as soon as he was born.”

“That’s right. Isn’t it strange for those who have rights to shoulder duties?”

As the atmosphere turned strangely, Mina widened her eyes.

“No. I don’t mean that……. I mean people are all special without the guardian star too.”

“What?”

“Everyone is special, even if they don’t have the Star of God.”

“Huh?”

“It’s not me, but Miss Sandra, Alan, Tenor, and Mary Jane, who knows that the one who enjoys the right should also bear the duty… and Emeline is also very special.”

The surroundings became quiet again. Mina smiled with a look of embarrassment.

“Is it correct to call it this way? Oh, I’m not used to the title. In my world, miss or sir is a bit awkward.”

People forgot the answer and looked at Mina in a frenzy, and Sandra quickly spoke with an apologetic look on her face.

“That’s right. I’m glad you remembered my name.”

Then the others nodded hastily. A large man named Alan said scratching his red ears.

“I haven’t even introduced myself yet, do you know my name?”

“I heard it before entering the cafeteria. And, Miss Emeline…? Ugh, I’m embarrassed to say it as well.”

Mina smiled as she said it, rubbing her cheek with both hands.

The Mina in this life is no different from the Mina in my memory.

Even if we resent her at first, if we talk, they will know. This child is a good one and had faith. And her beliefs are unique that everyone is fascinated by this child’s light.

After that, the conversation revolved around Mina.

People tried to tell Mina, who didn’t know much about this world, and the atmosphere was friendly the whole time.

After the meal was over, we decided to have tea time.

“Let’s go with Leblaine, okay?”

I shook my head and got up.

“I have to prepare for evaluation in the afternoon.”

“Evaluation?”

Then Alan answered for me.

“Every freshman will have an evaluation and aptitude test. Students in the other grades are split into classes based on last semester’s grades, while freshmen are split in classes this afternoon.”

“Ahh, Then I can’t interfere……. Okay, let’s have tea together later. The lemon tea Alan brought from home is so delicious.”

Mina smiled and waved, and I left the cafeteria. Emeline followed me from behind. As I left the cafeteria, I turned to Emily.

“Hey, didn’t the kids drink tea together? It’s an opportunity to build relationship.”

“I will also prepare the afternoon evaluation.”

“For me it’s because of the Elysiano Class, but you’re different.”

To enter the Elysiano Class, I must have excellent grades this semester.

In this academy, there are times when the test is held in only some classes. That is why I had to get good grades in the afternoon evaluation by all means and be assigned to class A. Emeline walked close to me with a nonchalant expression.

“Anyway, I’d love to join a good class too. A commoner with special admission like me has to go home right away if I don’t meet the requirement.”

“…….”

She squinted her eyes, I looked at Emeline and asked, “What?”

I snorted and continued,

“Are you worried that you’ll be alone?”

“No! I just don’t like that girl. What is special about her…….?”

Emeline looked at me and smiled bitterly.

“Mina is a girl who is easily liked. She says what the other person wants to hear, without a single lie. She’s different from me.”

Emeline stopped walking. After looking around for a while, the girl confirmed that no one was there and opened her mouth.

“But why are you doing that?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why can’t you say a word in front of that kid? You’re like someone who lost before fighting!”

“What should I say to her? Mina didn’t say anything wrong, and she didn’t even start a fight. Rather, she is showing interest in me. However, if I become vigilant and attack, I will only become a strange person. If I get criticized in the place where I came to build connections, that would be my defeat.”

“I mean……!”

Emeline bit her lips.

“Nevermind.”

“Emeline.”

As I grabbed her wrist, she moved my hand away and looked at me.

“You’re still somewhat a nice girl, but I’m not. That’s why I don’t want to have a weak friend who dies for others!”

“…….”

“Did Mina ever said you’re her hero? For me, my hero…… it was a nine-year-old lady who reached out to a child abandoned by her father!”

Emiline, who was full of anger, pushed me away and cried.

“How could you do this! I will erase my hero from memory!”

The child who shouted left me and ran to the dormitory. I was stunned.

‘No, who said I would die…’

I looked at Emeline’s back, sighed, and headed to the dormitory.

***

In the afternoon, I changed into my training uniform and headed to the training ground, looking for Emeline among the noisy freshmen.

She couldn’t find Emeline until the test.

From quite a distance from the students, I could see a glimpse of ivory-colored hair.

‘Emeline!’

I quickly approached the child.

“Emeline!”

“…….”

“I’ve been looking for you. Where have you been? For today’s evaluation, I had to form a group, but I couldn’t even team up with the students because I was looking for you.”

“…….”

“Let’s hurry up and form a group-”

However, the atmosphere surrounding Emeline was strange.

Unlike lunchtime, the students looked at Emeline with hostile eyes.

“What happened?”

Emeline did not answer. Alan, a boy who was a little further away from us call me instead.

“Leblaine.”

“Yes?”

“Come here. I’ll put you in our group.”

“……?”

“Ah, You say you are the same age as Mina right? I’m three years older than you. Come quickly. Don’t deal with that madman.”

“What do you mean?”

As I frowned, Alan snorted and looked at Emeline.

“She’s arguing with Mina out of nowhere.”

Then Alan’s group of girls sarcastically imitated Emeline.

“You say that everyone is special, I think you’re wrong. I know you’re trying to convince people with nice words, but it’s irresponsible in a class-based society. You didn’t deserve to say that as someone who enjoys special privileges.”

Did Emeline say that?

I hurriedly looked at Emeline, she kept her mouth shut and looked straight ahead.

‘This fool!’

In the end, it seems that he couldn’t bear it and went and poured it all on Mina.

But it was a disgrace in the eyes of others. The quarrel was clear from what I heard.

Mina was a child who was easily liked. She seemed to have become friends with most of the freshmen after lunch. But in this situation, if she argued with Mina, the center of the group, she will inevitably be seen as an enemy.

Laughter erupted from all around.

“Isn’t it funny? Is it the pride of commoners?”

“She’s doing everything so that she can to stand out.”

Her gaze was sharper than when she was in seminary.

‘The timing is not good.’

Now is the time to form a group. If there is a public enemy at such a time, it is perfect for entertainment.

If Emeline, the target of ridicule, doesn’t get through this time well, she’ll have a hard time until graduation.

It wasn’t just a matter of relationship. This school has a lot of group evaluations. It will be difficult to get good grades if she becomes an outcast like this.

Moreover, for Emeline, who was admitted through the special admission for commoners, grades are very important.

‘In a situation like this, Mina should sort it out, but… Mina hasn’t come to the training ground yet.’

Alan beckoned to me.

“Come here. Let’s do it together. Should our group name be the children of fate?”

Then laughter erupted around me.

“That’s a good name to catch the professor’s eyes.”

“Ah, that’s unfair!”

The atmosphere was pleasant and everyone laughed except for Emeline.

“Leblaine, come over here quickly. I have to hand over the list of members-”

“I’m already in a group.”

“What?”

I took Emeline’s hand.

“I’ll go with Emeline.”

“… You’d regret it. Everyone made groups of five or more.”

“It doesn’t matter if there are less than ten members. I’m going with Emeline.”

“Ah, really? Then try it.”

Alan twisted his lips as if he was offended.

The other students looked a little perplexed, but Alan clapped and shouted.

“The child of fate over there can face us all even with one useless person, so let’s face them with all our might!”

His gaze, which had been on Emeline, turned to me this time.

Emeline whispered to me with a puzzled expression.

“This fool! You came to this school to make connections!”

“We should clean up our friend’s shit.”

“How could a noble lady said such vulgar words……!”

“Alright. Let’s go make a list of crew members.”

When I urged, Emeline hesitated but followed me to the desk on one side of the training ground.

I put Emeline’s and my name side by side.

Emeline’s eyes widened when she saw the group’s name.

[Max’s gang]

It was the name our beggars were called.

Before long, Mina ran to the training ground alongside the evaluation bell. The girl, who had wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, asked with a bright smile.

“Am I late?”

“You’re right on time.”

A deep voice came from behind Mina’s back. He was a professor who had just entered the training ground.

The professor said, “Go to your seat.” while reading the list of members on the simple desk.

“Mina and the children?”

“Yes, teacher! It’s us!”

When Mina raised her hand, the professor burst into laughter.

“You must be the professor.”

When Mina made an embarrassed expression, a burst of laughter erupted from the training ground.

“This year’s class placement assessment is to rescue a hostage in a moving barrier. Hostages will be living beings. So, if you break the barrier recklessly, the hostage won’t be safe, okay? A comprehensive evaluation is made based on the time it takes to save the hostages, the state of the hostages, the number of hostages rescued, and the level of barriers broken.”

As he waved his hand in the air, a huge hourglass appeared. Eventually, the shape of the training ground changed to a maze-like shape.

“The mana restriction will be lifted only for this evaluation. Let’s get started.”

That means we could use magic tools.

Alan was the first to untie the magic tools on both his wrists and ankles. Thud! With a sound, the magic tool fell to the floor, and a tremendous amount of mana shook the ground. Mina said to Alan.

“It was really a test to save the hostages as you said.”

“Of course. My brother told me so. First of all, that purple circle has the highest score. It’s a tough barrier. We’re only going for that purple one.”

“How do we break the barrier?”

“All we have to do is hit the arrow perfectly in the center of the barrier. However, we couldn’t know where the centre was for sure, and the barrier is moving, so it will be difficult to destroy.”

“Huh? Isn’t that the center? There’s a dark color. And-”

“What?”

Mina climbed up the wall of the maze and aimed the bow she got before the evaluation started at the barrier.

“I’m a former archer!”

Hearing Mina’s story, the training ground became noisy.

Finding the center of the barrier is impossible unless they fully understand the magic formula.

The barriers used for training at Odis Academy are even more difficult. Even the professor looked at Mina with a surprised face.

Mina fired an arrow.

“Ah! it went on the wrong spot. It’s harder than I thought-”

Bang-!!

A condensed divine power and the barrier that Mina’s arrow deviated from collided. Precisely at the center of the barrier.

“Leblaine……!”

“Miss Leblaine!”

Alan and Sandra stared at me in astonished.

‘The center of the barrier, it’s not something only she can see.’

I smiled brightly.

‘Besides.’

The limit of my divine power usage was lifted.

[Hey, kid. I’m going stronger this time!]

[It’s like a game event! Oh oh-! Is that an item drop?]

[Master, we must subdue it from above. Let’s go.]

The three devils helped me.

As soon as the first barrier was broken, seniors appeared in the audience around the training ground. At the top were the people of the Elysiano class.

Isaac and Henry show thumbs up at me.

Emeline looked at me with a surprised look.

“How did you……!”

“You said I was your hero. A hero should be like this.”
