People View On Merlis

I told myself to learn to be a good leader but how?

Although I have experience of ways to manage the area under my supervision, it is still not enough.

This is because, most of the work that should be my responsibility, I leave it to others because I think doing such a job is not important at all if it doesn't benefit me.

Maybe this is the reason why there is so much corruption among my employees in the past.

Although I have this notebook that records important events in the future, I'm still not sure this is enough to help me.

To become a good Lord, he or she must have a lot of knowledge in managing his or her area.

Maybe I should start getting some knowledge before taking the next step. Who knows maybe I can find information that is not in my book which is important as well.

Before I gather the information first, I need to know the schedule for today.

I asked Mel to find out the schedule today because she probably knows the schedule today.

"Mel?, Do you know the schedule for today?"

"Oh! ... My Lady, I forgot to give you this thing"

Mel gave me a folded paper.

"This is a paper containing activities planned today ... I got this from one of the workers at the entrance."

Hmm .... In the afternoon there is a speech from the principal ... Huh? ... There aren't many activities involving students here.

Well then, I have plenty of time to think and look for information later.

Plus, Classroom will start three days from now so I have a lot of time to do that.

Then, after the ceremony from the principal, I will go to the library to find important knowledge and information there.

While I wait for the ceremony to take place what should I do to kill time?

May I ask for a suggestion from Mel.

"Mel, do you have any suggestions for me to spend some time here?"

"I'm not sure ... how about a stroll around this school?"

That's a great idea. As Mel said, traveling around this school isn't bad.

Maybe I can figure out what's going on with me.

Because, everything that happened to me happened all of a sudden.

"Mel, I'll be back in a moment. After you finish packing our stuff, relax or eat something or you know do your stuff?"

"All right, my lady"

"See you later"

I left the room after I told Mel to do her own thing after finishing her work.

Now where do I want to go?

With the time I have right now, I don't think there are many places I can go now.

Hmm .... maybe I should ask the first person I met at this place.

Maybe they have a suggestion for me.

But why isn't anyone here at all?

There may still be students who have not received their room numbers yet.

Then maybe I'll go to the second floor.

I'm sure there will be people there.

I was heading up the stairs to go to the second floor and it was like I thought I bumped into someone there.

I saw a young girl with green hair and wore glasses trying to carry something heavy.

"Hey! .... can I ask you something?"

"Me?"

Why is she calling me?

But it's good that she calls first. I'm afraid if I call them, they'll run away.

"Yes, you ... black-haired girl"

"What can I help you?"

"Can you ... please ... Take.. bring something ... this ... ha ... ha"

She seems to be so tired from carrying so much weight that her language becomes foggy.

"I understand .... let me help"

"Than .... thank you very much ... ha ... ha"

After I helped her carry some of her stuff, she took a deep breath.

"Thank you once again"

"You are welcome"

She looked happy when I said that to her.

"Now can you help me bring this stuff to my room?"

It looks like this girl is a student here.

From her looks, she's probably a witch.

I've never seen them before.

So it's really nice to know more about them.

Who knows maybe they have some knowledge I don't know that I can use in the future especially to administer my area later.

I just remembered that I didn't know this girl's name.

Well I'm asking now.

"What is your name?"

"My name? .... oh, yes ... my name is Risa ... Risa Quanalisa"

Her name is weird .... but my name is much weirder compared to her.

"I'm Merlis ... Verminsti Merlis"

"So you're the Merlis that people are talking about!"

What do you mean? ... what did people say about me?

"What did they say about me?"

"You are a scoundrel, an arrogant, a bully and some say Do not approach her if you want to live ....."

"Huh?, Are you okay Merlis?"

Of course I'm not okay because they say so.

But I can't blame them for being that way.

Apparently, the current objective is to change people's view of myself.

If I fail to change people's opinions about myself, it will be difficult for me to gather important information because they are afraid of me.

"But, you're not like what I heard from them ...."

"Pardon?"

"I mean, you're not as bad as they say ... if you're that kind of person, you won't help me at all"

You're a good girl Risa .... I'm glad someone said that to me.

I still have the opportunity to change people's view of myself if Risa says so.

"Thank you so much Risa ... for thinking this way about me"

"It's okay Merlis ... aren't we friends? ... a friend should help each other"

"Friend .... Risa my friend .... I ... I ..."

"Merlis?! .... what happen ?!"

"Nothing."

Before, I didn't have any friends at all. For me at first, it was a crappy and unprofessional thing.

And I have friends in my second life ... it makes me so happy.

The feeling of joy and sadness in my heart was hard to explain but it definitely told me that I really needed to change this time.

Risa, you were my first friend after the rest of my life now and I will try my best to help you if you have a problem one day.

"Are you sure you are alright?"

"Yeah,don't worried about it."

"If you say so ... Ah!, We're here."

Risa opened the door to her room with the key. The condition of her room is slightly different from my room when viewed from the inside.

The room owned by Risa does not have an extra room like my room, maybe my personal Maid that caused my room to have extra rooms.

Maybe Risa isn't a Noble because she's a witch if I'm not mistaken.

I don't care about it at all now because I want to change.

Previously I didn't know how the lower class rooms were. I thought their rooms were in bad shape or dirty ... apparently I was wrong.

It seems that students from the lower classes are treated fairly by the school when they are in this place.

After all, they've worked hard to get a place here so they should be treated fairly.

Unlik us, we could easily get here when we were 13 because it was the duty of every Noble child to be here.

"Merlis, you can just put my stuff here"

"Next to this table? ... alright"

Alright, I helped Risa bring her belongings to her room. Now what am I doing here?

Oh, I want to ask them which places are interesting in this school.

I'm not sure if Risa knows because she's a freshman like me too.

But what's wrong with trying.

"Risa, do you know any interesting places here?"

"Interesting place? .... hmmm, I'm not sure but I just know there's a park behind this school"

Is there a school in this school? ... apparently I don't know much about this school even though I've been here.

I didn't know there was a park behind the school all this time.

"Why do you ask?"

"I was killing time while waiting for the ceremony to arrive in the afternoon ... so it's just for fun"

"Well ... then see you later at the ceremony, I have to pack my stuff"

"All right, see you later."

After talking with Risa, I decided to go to the place that Risa was talking about.

I hope no one is there ... unless they run to see me.

No! ... if I think so, I won't change at all.

I have to deal with it.

Okay, time to go now.

...

The first floor is full of people here, most of them students and staff in this school.

I don't like stunts but I do.

I try to move to where I want to go and as I suspect, there are people who talk about me.

"Look, it's Merlis!"

"Is that the person? ... why is it here?"

"By any chance ... does she want to do something wrong?"

"Seeing as he walks ... is very suspicious ..."

I know what you are saying but why do some of them criticize my style of walking or am I too scared to see them?

I can't stand it anymore .... I just run away like this.

"Ah, She escaped!"

"But why did she run away?"

"Maybe we bully her?"

"That doesn't make sense at all .... no, maybe that's right too."

"Should we apologize?"

"..."

...

I can't run anymore .... my stomach hurts ... it's hard to run around with this outfit.

Where am I? ... hm? is that the place Risa was talking about?

It is ... pretty ...

This place is quite large and very nice to see.

I decided to look inside the park.

Wow, there are so many colorful flowers here! ... and no one here.

Great, now I can enjoy this place without anyone noticing.

"Where is my place to sit ... Oh, there are desks and round chairs."

I'm sitting there.

Now let's revisit what's happening now.

First, I died and came back to life at the beginning of school.

How did that happen?

I have no answer to that.

Maybe this is a magic that applies to me but if it's magic how am I affected?

There is something wrong about this.

As far as I know, the stronger the magic, the more things are sacrificed to use it.

And if this is magic ... what is it that is sacrificed?

The exchange must have been high because it made someone go back in time.

Maybe I asked Risa, she's a witch so she probably knows about one or two about it.

And secondly, what's my next challenge ?, I haven't fully planned my plans yet.

If I want to change many things I need to consider.

In terms of my personality, I can't be too good but not too bad.

.....

All right ... it looks like I already know my next plan.

I will do my best to learn here besides finding talented people here.

From my knowledge, there are a number of people who attend school here who will be important figures in the future.

If I play the right way, I can get them to work under me.

And that's not easy. They have their own dreams.

They wouldn't take me seriously if I didn't achieve anything here.

And the best way to do that is to get high school results.

Whether it is from knowledge or ability.

A difficult task but not impossible at all to accomplish.

It seems like the road to becoming a good Lord is still a long way off.

"My Lady! ... My Lady!"

That voice ... Mel?, What is she doing here?

I left the park and saw Mel looking for me.

"Mel, I'm here"

"Thank goodness .... ah, now is not the time for this!"

"Huh ?, what's going on?"

Why does Mail look anxious?

"All the students are asked to gather now! The opening ceremony is about to begin!"

"Really ?!"

"Yes! Let's go now!"

Mail grabbed my hand to take me to the group location.

"Mel, don't pull my hand like that! ... it hurts!"

"I'm sorry, My Lady, but we have to hurry."

"Ahhhh .... my hands ...."

.....

"I'll wait outside My Lady ... please come in."

"Ahh ... my hand ..."

"I'm very sorry ... but this is important"

I know it's important but don't pull my hand like that.

"Okay, I'll go in first."

After I came in, I saw many students already here.

They saw me and they whispered to each other until someone called my name.

"Merlis !, I'm here!"

"Risa !?"

"Here, sit here!"

I went to Risa's place and sat next to her.

"Are you okay Merlis?"

"I'm okay just my hands hurt"

"Why does it hurt?"

I told you what happened earlier.

"Yes, I can't blame your Maid but your hand still hurts?"

"Just a little ... will heal on its own"

"Good then ..."

When we were busy talking, we were told that the principal was here to give a speech.

All the students were sitting there and sitting neatly in their seats.

"Welcome to the Royal academy to all of you!"

"I'm sure you are proud to be here. I want to make sure all students give them best here!"

His speech lasted more than a half hour and I was tired of hearing it.

"So we will do our best. Thank you"

Finally, he has finished speaking. Now I can go to the library now.

After that, all the students started to leave here to do their own thing.

Looks like, I have to go now.

Before that I told Risa first.

"Risa, I want to go to the library to gather information ... what are you going to do next?"

"I'm not done cleaning my room, so clean up my room first"

"All right, see you in a few days."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Hm"

As we left the place, I noticed that Mail was still waiting for me outside.

After introducing Risa to Mel, Risa returns to her room.

"Mel, I'm going to the library, are you going?"

"I follow you wherever you go."

"All right, let's go now."

....

In the school library there are also students here, they are looking for something here.

At first they were surprised to see me, but after that they returned to work on their own.

They're not busy about me as long as I'm not around them.

I look up the reading material that works for me and put it on the table.

"Alright, time to study!"

"All right, interesting ...."

.....

I studied until late at night and Mel was still with me.

Maybe I should get some rest now because Mel is getting sleepy.

"Mel, let's go back for sure!"

"I don't curse ..... ah!"

"Look! ... let's not be stubborn let's rest"

"All right, my lady"

Mel and I went back to our room after I relocated the reading material I had just received.

Once we were there, Mel changed my clothes to lightweight and fluffy bedding.

Meanwhile, Mel went to her room after saying goodnight to me.

The first day went well.

I made new friends and my relationship with Mel also began to improve.

It is a good start.

But I have to do my best the next day!

Now is the time to rest.

After turning off the lights, I went to bed.Fast to sleep.

It's been a while since I've had such a good rest.
