48 â Midterm exam preparation â 1
âLetâs get going soon.â
After the regular student council meeting, Roxanna gathered her luggage for the last time and stood up. She was left alone with the crown prince.
Even the moment the Crown Prince woke up with Roxanne gathering her belongings, she was looking at documents related to the academyâs operation.
This action is possible because he is first in line of succession to the empire. I donât know who the next student president will be, but he wonât enjoy as much power as the current crown prince.
âThe atmosphere has changed a bit.â
These days, this is the thought that comes to mind every time Roxanna sees the crown prince. Before, even though she had an androgynous appearance, she had the impression that she was definitely a man, but now she seemed much more like a woman than before.
The succubusâ instincts were speaking. The shape of the face, eyes and body were all different, and most importantly, the smell coming from the bottle was completely different.
The vital energy of males and females is fundamentally different. The vast majority of succubi much preferred the male energy. There were many succubi that completely rejected females, and Roxanna was one of them.
âIt definitely felt delicious beforeâ¦â â¦.â
Yeongjeong has not gone now.
They say that a femaleâs vital energy is likened to a green vegetable or the sensation of vegetables, but as Roxanna, who has been in the human world for a long time, I thought that was a very accurate metaphor.
âRoxanna Astrière.â
Just as she was about to leave the conference room, the princeâs cold voice stopped her in her tracks.
It may not be true for Roxanna, a succubus, but as Roxanna Astrière, a second-year student at Bellium Academy, it was a voice that should never be rejected.
ââ¦â¦ Yes. His Majesty the Crown Prince. âWhatâs going on?â
âAh, Mr. Be surprised âWhy are you suddenly calling me and making such a fuss?â
Roxanne I cursed the crown prince on the inside, but she answered calmly on the outside. She opened her mouth as the Crown Prince did not take his eyes off her from the papers.
âIt seems like Mira Krayt has been frequenting the club she recently joined. âI heard a rumor that she was applying to join once a day, and she called me to personally check if my ears were correct.â
âHa, hahaâ¦â¦ âDid you notice?â
It was true. She didnât like the type of person that Roxanna played, but she was a type of person that you couldnât truly hate, and she was working hard to achieve that.
These efforts must have worked, because although she was annoyed by Mira Roxanne, she sincerely cursed me, but did not tell me to go away or reject me. If anything, Priscillaâs alertness was stronger as she snuggled up next to him.
Of course, the truth was closer to wondering what on earth this succubus was doing, but Roxanna had no way of knowing that fact.
âHow could it not have been possible? Rumors have spread throughout the academy. Roxanna Astrière is trying very hard to join a club. âShe even finds it strange that someone who doesnât know about the rumor is actually Mira Krayt.â
Mira Krayt has been quite a celebrity since her induction, but her popularity has recently grown to the point where it is harder to find a stranger in her entire academy.
It goes without saying that she is involved in all kinds of incidents, and Rosaria is close enough to approach the saintess candidate first without hesitation. She is also always hanging around with the daughter of the duchess Agnes, creating a strange atmosphere. Not only does he maintain a good relationship with the chosen hero, but he also maintains a good relationship with his childhood friend, the 1st grade student.
Since the five of them have formed a club, there is no way for rumors to spread, and even Roxanna is trying to get involved. Rumors create rumors, and naturally, rumors about Roxanna were also spreading.
âTell me your purpose.â
ââ¦â¦ Yes?â
âI asked why you put so much effort into joining that club. Are you making me say the same thing twice?â
The crown prince finally took his eyes off the documents. The bloody red eyes towards Roxanna were dripping with a murderous spirit that had never been shown before.
âIs this something I should be so angry about?â
Something seems suspicious. Roxanne I believe she has built up so far and she decided to dig a little deeper into the cause of her feelings.
ââ¦â¦ âMay I dare to ask His Majesty the Crown Prince why you are curious about my affairs?â
âWhy am I doing this?â
The document in his hand fell onto the desk. The crown prince stood up. Their eyes met, and the distance between their bodies slowly began to close.
âIf your actions are motivated by such strong passion because of someone outside of your clubâ¦â¦.â
The crown prince came right in front of Roxanne and crossed his arms around her. His long eyebrows caught my eye.
âThe rest of your time is going to be very difficult.â
ââ¦â¦ What? Is this also related to the mummy crate?â
After hearing her words, Roxanne I was convinced. That was jealousy. A jealousy that only a woman can show, towards a woman eyeing something that is hers. All the emotions that can be known as a succubus were clearly conveyed.
It wasnât like that before, but it changed like that ever since it got involved with that person, Mira Krait. He is first in line of succession to that empire.
âThis might beâ¦â â¦.â
It could be an opportunity. A thought popped into Roxannaâs head. What if she brainwashes Mira Krayt and uses her to blind the Crown Prince?
It would not be a dream for the entire empire to fall into the hands of a succubus. If that happens, you may be able to receive praise from the Demon King himself.
No, before that, the truth about the crown princeâs true gender was enough to be worth exploiting.
âOkay. âIt might be worth reporting.â
Roxanna couldnât decide such a big thing on her own. She informed the Queen of this and she had to come up with a plan together.
There is one condition that must be overcome before that: the brainwashing of Mira Krait must be successful.
âOf course itâs because of the club. âHave you not seen how they decorated the club room?â
After completing her resolution, Roxanne I immediately began to make her excuse. For now, avoiding the crown princeâs suspicions was the priority.
âUmm⦠â¦.â
âWhat? âWhy do you look like that?â
âAfter four days of peace, you suddenly become anxious?â
ââ¦â¦ Sometimes, it seems like you arenât normal either. I feel anxious because it is peaceful. âWhat on earth is that?â
âWhy, there is such a thing. Something like âItâs too quiet in hereâ that sometimes appears in horror movies. âIt feels that way.â
Rosaria seemed to be persuaded for a moment, but then she made an expression that said, âI can be persuaded by something like that?â I thought she explained it well, but she didnât.
We have done everything we can, and from now on it is the area of prayer. This is a prayer that we must hope that those demons will invade based on common sense.
I couldnât help but feel anxious because I didnât know when, where, and how it would explode.
âItâs not that I donât really understandâ¦â ⦠âYouâre saying all sorts of things, really.â
âI can understand properly. Mira, because thatâs what you said.â
Priscilla, who was quietly feeling the warmth by my side, suddenly joined in. Then she raised one corner of her mouth and laughed at Rosaria.
The two started arguing again. It was always our club.
ââ¦â¦ Phew. I shouldnât say anything. Right. Mira, are you going there?â
Rosaria, who, as always, lost the argument, turned her gaze towards me, her hands shaking. Priscilla buried her face in my arms again with a happy face.
âWhere are you talking about?â
âDungeon hands-on experience. âSince this midterm exam lasts 2 nights and 3 days, I gave you an experience instead of a lecture to prepare for the exam.â
I thought I knew what it was. Because Brünnhild and Aria came to see us, asking to make a group together. So this time, I asked if the three of us could do it together, and the professor said weâd wait and see.
âI have to go and see. âThey say itâs an absolute evaluation, but itâs an area where Priscilla canât help.â
âI thought so. Priscilla, what about you? âI wonât be able to see you for nearly three days, so why donât you practice being away from Mira from now on?â
âI will follow you.â
ââ¦â¦ Are you following me? You? First year lectures? How?â
âThere is an existence erasure spell, so you can use that and follow along. âI confirmed that even professors cannot detect it yet.â
âYou are amazing too. Study with that persistenceâ¦â¦ Thereâs no need to do more. Okay. âI got a perfect score anyway.â
Rosaria also seemed resigned to Priscilla. Priscilla looked triumphant.
To conclude, Priscillaâs plan did not come to fruition.
Because the entrance to the dungeon itself was a teleportation method. Anyone as good as Professor Jaina could easily tell that there was one more person involved in the teleportation.
I tried to enter separately using teleportation, but even that was impossible because I did not know the spatial coordinates of the dungeon. Thanks to this, Priscilla cried bitterly and locked herself in my bed.
I threw some of Priscillaâs clothes to the bed-bound girl and arrived at the place Professor Jaina had mentioned, along with the two people who always stay with me. Almost all first-year students participated, so the number was significant.
Rosaria was with Professor Jaina. It is said that she will be watching the situation with the professor over there, and if even one serious injury occurs, she will be deployed immediately.
âComing here means you saw the notice, so Iâll just give you a brief summary. The thing in front of you is an artificial dungeon created by the great wizards working together. Just go in and destroy the dungeon core. Itâs over when the core breaks. Youâll be able to come right back here. âWe designed it to take about 8 hours to break through, so be prepared.â
âAre all these people going in together? If that were the case, the meaning of forming a group would be lost, right?â
Someone raised their hand and asked a question. Jaina looked at the student as if he were puzzled.
âYouâre a great wizard, but Iâm afraid you didnât even take that into consideration when creating it. Although weâre in the same place, weâll be in different spaces, so we canât see each other or interfere with each other, so donât worry. Traps will also operate separately in each space. âIs it possible that he was given the title Grand Wizard for no reason?â@@novelbin@@
The students let out exclamations of âOh!â This was because I knew how difficult it was to overlap different spaces in the same place.
After finishing her explanation, Jay I let her students into the dungeon one by one. The three of us were last in line. Professor Jaina smiled meaningfully as Aria, Brünnhild, and I stood in front of the teleportation magic circle.
âDo you know why the three of you were allowed to be in the same group?â
ââ¦â¦ No?â
Brünnhild shook his head. The meaningful smile became even stronger.
âWhen I told the archmages about you, they suggested putting the three of you in the same group and making the dungeon structure especially more difficult. If this had been a test, there would have been talk of fairness, but now thereâs no need to worry about that, and they put a lot of effort into making it because they were curious about your skills. âIt will probably be very difficult.â
From noble mtl dot com
If the Grand Wizard put a lot of effort into making it, and the professor said it was very difficult, I was curious about how difficult it was.
Brünnhild was fiddling with the holy sword on her belt, as if she was feeling like a warrior, but Aria was exactly the opposite.
âItâs okay. Because I will continue to watch over you. There are also candidates for sainthood. Oh, should I just tell you in advance the composition of the dungeon youâll be entering?â
âYes. âPlease.â
Aria politely put her hands together and asked. Professor Jaina opened her mouth with a softer smile than when she looked at Brünnhild or me.
âThe commanders of the Demon Kingâs army will appear. âEverything from the 1st Corps to the 7th Corps Commander.â
â⦠â¦.â
Brünnhildeâs fierce fighting spirit hardened and her face hardened.
