Classes officially began starting today. It seems the basic schedule was lectures during the day and practical lessons in the afternoon. I was, of course, a total loner in the classroom. No one wanted to get on the prince’s bad side by interacting with me—as a result, everyone avoided eye contact.
This could actually make things easier for me. Spending three years as decor doesn’t sound too bad.
As I sat at my desk quietly, I began to listen in on all the gossip going on around me. Thanks to the sensory enhancement gained through leveling up, I was able to make out all the whispers in the classroom without any trouble. According to the other students, I was a carefree airhead who had convinced myself that I was amazing based on nothing.
Why stop at the Academy? Maybe I should blow up the entire Royal Capital to prove that I’m level 99.
Right before class began, Miss Heroine entered the classroom with her trio of love interests, the four of them having a friendly chat together.
“So light magic can heal wounds too? You’re impressive, Alicia,” William praised.
Oswald was impressed. “It’s an element not even I can use. So, do you think you’ll be able to do well at the Academy?”
“To be honest, I’m a little worried, being a commoner and all...” she replied anxiously.
“If you ever need anything, just let us know. We promise to help you,” Edwin encouraged earnestly.
Isn’t it too soon for them to have fallen for her? They shouldn’t have even spoken to each other at this point in the game. I wonder if things are straying away from the story because of me.
The main character’s name was Alicia Ehnleit. The game allowed the player to change her name, but Alicia was the default. Adorned with pink hair, she was your typical protagonist, defined by her optimistic and cheery personality. She was accepted into the Academy despite being a commoner due to the fact that light magic users were extremely rare. Light magic was so valued because it was the only weakness of the dark element, making it capable of being a secret weapon against the Demon Lord.
I would have liked to have kept my distance from her, but just like the love interests, that probably wasn’t going to happen. Why? Well, in the short moment that we made eye contact, Alicia glared at me as if I had murdered her family.
