The long break over, Rudel returned to the acade his rew darker Not in the boys' dor cafeteria that reht
The ones worrying over him were Izumi and Basyle Izueet the mistress position to take a load off her future She was full of impure motives…
But Rudel…
”Aah, do you think Cattleya-sama and Lilim-sama hate me?”
The point of his worries was a little off Right, Rudel… from Cattleya and Lilim's attitude and tone,
'Don't get near me!'
He was sure they were trying to say From Rudel's point of view, it was as if every roup had come to hate him…
”After I becooon, how am I supposed to look them in the eye? What am I supposed to say to them!?”
The two of them looked over Rudel orry…
Regardless of his worries, the second term started as a matter of course…
”We will not hold the counter for this time's excursion!”
A counter first place was energetically opened Headed by Rudel in the classroom after school
”Just as with last ti point, but the course differs by class And the first years of the funda part as well… this ti the first years! On top of that, the princess' class contains guards who have trained froe to protect her! I have no choice but to say first place will be difficult under these circumstances”
In the documents handed out to everyone, Rudel noted the comprehensive evaluation he had Basyle collect of each class On top of that, the necessary tools for the forest, the unneeded goods… it was all written in great detail
”And e need to be wary of this tied to eat into the top ranks last tie distance we have to traverse per day is…”

As Luecke Halbades and Eunius Diade's classes were solidified with nobles, they were at a disadvantage… Rudel's class withdrew last year, and they were out of the question! But Aleist's class could utilize Aleist's inexhaustible ic to conquer the forest without issue
The result was clear before it even began
”Hey, Aleist… looks like this'll be another easy victory!”
One of his classmates said it as he pat Aleist on the shoulder He wanted to use sothen his bond with Aleist, but Aleist himself saw him as no more than an acquaintance
”Yeah, that's right If there's anyone we have to worry about, it would be the princess' class, perhaps?”
”Why's that? The princess' class is also e?”
”… The princess has guards posted a her classmates What's more, they're incredibly skilled… do you think those folks would let the princess receive a rank that would embarrass her?”
After thinking a while, the classmate spoke simply,
”You think they'll round?”
Aleist sighed… if they did that, then sorow disco down… but that wasn't coer royalty, and in this event, the princess' safety was the first priority Even if it was a little unfair, they'd secure her safety, if nothing else
