Chapter 60 (1/2)

Volume 2 Chapter 7 part2

Was this a case of returning favors with spite?

I was at the acade to resume tomorrow

After being able to co to my room within the boys' dorms, I clutched a letter sent from the royal palace

“Brad, Greg──I see, did they hate me that much?”

The grip I held withhand created a crease in the letter

It said that I had been allowed to be “promoted to the lower fifth rank”

My upper sixth rank within the royal court had risen one step further and upgraded to the lower fifth rank

The suppression of the sky pirates had been credited to Brad and Greg, so that couldn't be the reason There was also no way that it could be because ofthem reconcile with their households ──I couldn't believe it

“Who's the person pulling the strings here? I, I can't allow this to happen Why am I in the lower fifth rank? My father is in the lower sixth rank, so what's going to happen now that I'm two steps above him?!”

Was being prohted about?

Incorrect At the very least, I wasn't delighted by it

Being promoted meant new responsibilities that corresponded with it

I had wanted to confine myself within my territory and live carefree, but I didn't knohat to do now that I had been promoted

With a high enough royal court rank, one would get summoned many times

I didn't want to get involved with the royal palace, so I had assisted those two Noas being pro

Normally, one would have to build upproorous checks on territory size, the royal palace was strict when it ca someone's rank

While I was resentful of this unreasonable treatment, Luxon swerved to my behind and peeked at the letter

[I never thought you would get pro outside of my expectations, Master]

“What do you et pro to pro to be a whole bunch of people ant to kno I got promoted!”

In the first place, it was very difficult to get proet pro sky pirates just once

It was necessary to perforfor many years

So as I promoted?! Other people should have been promoted instead!

While I wassound

When I opened the door, a staff member of the boys' dorms stood there while nervous The staff member was a woman, and she bowed her head in front of me

“Baron Baltfault A L, letter and a gift have arrived”

“A Letter and a gift?”

“R, right We can't deliver theed outside”

“Outside?”

Once the staff ift, there stood an air bike

It was quite the extravagant, large air bike

I soon understood that it was an expensive one

The air bike seemed to be more expensive than armor, and the letter was sent from the “Atlee family”

I took out the letter and read it

“Aaaaaauuuuuuuuuugh!”

When I screamed, the nearby staff member's shoulders trembled

The contents written inside the letter were an apology

The letter was sent froy concerning what happened at the school festival, along with a word of thanks for returning their daughter's liveliness to her It seems that hat the air bike was for

Since boys yearned for air bikes, at least a little bit, they ifts

However, the problem hat came after that

“No way This can't be real Does, does everyone hate me that much?”

Seeing that I was crying, the staff , and then fled the scene

Tears dropped onto the letter, s the words on it

There was more to the letter

'Since ere told that you wanted to wait for a while before being promoted, a promotion from the lower fifth rank to the upper fifth rank awaits you upon graduation'

──That hat it said

The Atlee family was an earl household of the royal court

The fauished people, such asPerhaps their daughter felt a sense of gratitude towards me and said that I should be proh!

“Why?! Why are people trying to promote me?! This is bizarre! Don't they know that I'm s? I'm only human!”

A floating Luxon inserted a cord into the air bike

[This engine is different from the air bike you used at the school festival The parts were carefully crafted, and it's quite superb]

“What are you doing?”

[I' control over it]

It looked like it was doing so cruel to the air bike Luxon looked like a villain

I collapsed to my knees and looked at the air bike

“Alright Let's go on a trip Let's embark on an adventure towards some unknown country”

[You have classes starting tomorrow, so that's impossible]

“Right damn iiiit!”
