Chapter 16

2 days have passed since I was hospitalized. And now I was allowed to go home. My previous opponent in the practical exam, Luna came every day even though it wasn't for a long time. She also brought cake or fruit. Then the butler Koji always came to visit and accompany me in the hospital. However, for some reason he always asked about someone who brought me cakes and fruit other than himself.

I didn't hide the person who sent me these and immediately said that it was Luna. The butler asked what our relationship was. Feeling that the butler would find it strange if the person who had fought in the practice exam lost and came to deliver her something, it would definitely make the butler wary and suspicious. So, I said that the two of us were friends that I made during the entrance exam. But, that made the butler even more suspicious. He asked if our relationship was really just friends. Not only that he even asked if a newly made friend would be so considerate. This was enough to get me in trouble.

During those two days, I searched for information about the practical exam results and the admission ceremony. There were some things that were different from the plot. Where our protagonist, Takeru Shinoda managed to beat the first place in the theory exam, Elena Esperanza de Espana.

And me defeating the daughter of one of the famous families, also participated in the changes in the plot of the novel. God said the actions of both of us caused changes in some aspects, be it class and rank. Although some will remain the same and some the same.

There were a few things I was worried about, only to realize it was already midnight. I just hope these changes will bring positive things for me. Then the admission ceremony will take place tomorrow morning. I'd better get some sleep and wake up early so I won't be late for it.

***************************************

Seiko Gakuen is the first Knight education academy built and the best in the world. This academy gave birth to many great and meritorious Knights for the world. There are many Knights who have successfully protected mankind from the past to the present.

An academy that was first built on an artificial island that was only the size of a village. However, as time goes by the size changes like a city, there are various facilities available to support students. Some facilities include amusement parks, restaurants, minimarkets, hotels, hospitals, and more.

Whether it's knights or ordinary people, they live there with the job of helping prospective knights to become responsible and reliable knights. Knights protect and keep the academy city safe. While ordinary people, prepare all the needs needed by knights and students.

Raising my head forward, the admission ceremony was just like a normal ceremony. The students sat on the prepared seats and listened to the welcome speech.

As I looked around where the seats were filled with students, my head stopped among the students. Takeru Shinoda was trying to sit down, that's when his gaze met mine. With a surprised expression, his face instantly brightened and he smiled. He waved his hand. Feeling that it would be rude to ignore him. I just raised my right hand and nodded my head.

I turned my gaze in the opposite direction. As my gaze turned, I saw Luna's face. Luna also saw my face, she smiled sweetly and waved her hand slowly. I nodded back at her.

"To the new student representative Elena Esperanza de Espana, please come on stage!"

The principal called out the names of the students with the top scores.

Although Elena lost, she showed great skill against Takeru Shinoda. And also among the others she was first in the theory exam. Moreover, her opponent was the protagonist, unlike the second place Akane Katsuragi. In the theory exam she was second, but in the practical exam she had an easy opponent. That caused the judgment to be skewed towards opponents who were considered weak

"Klak! Klak! Clack!"

She walked with the sound of shoes hitting the floor and headed to the stage. Long blonde hair down to her waist, blue-colored eyeballs, and snow-white skin. Her expression was determined and unwavering.

"So, she is Elena the princess of the Spanish kingdom. She really is a very beautiful girl and that cannot be denied."

"We promise to abide by all the rules within Seiko Gakuen."

Her beautiful voice filled the auditorium. The girl recited the speech and the pledges of the academy.

Everyone silently listened to her, their eyes all fixed on her.

"We solemnly promise to follow and carry out all the promises."

The reading of the pledge ended.

The principal and Elena exchanged greetings at the front.

Elena turned around, sweeping her blue eyes across the students in the auditorium. Her eyes then stopped on someone.

I saw the look in her eyes, and my gaze stopped on someone's head.

"Huh! I thought she'd forget about the defeat, but she seems to have a grudge. It looks like our protagonist is going to be in trouble."

I muttered.

The look in her eyes that was fixed on Takeru stopped for a few seconds in no time. And just like that Takeru noticed the look in her eyes and gasped. Then Elena bowed her head towards the students in the auditorium.

"That's normal, he's the protagonist after all. The one who will be involved in various things whether it's relationships with his comrades or his enemies."

From the eye contact between Elena and Takeruz I can infer he still doesn't seem to have admitted his defeat.

Given her nature of noble bloodline, she will definitely continue to pursue Takeru for a rematch.

For now, I'd better focus on watching the development of the characters. The information I remember from the gods is that the first volume is the introduction of the characters and the relationships some of the characters will establish.

"Huh! This is the beginning of my academy life which will be difficult. Let's endure myself."

Seiko Gakuen's entrance ceremony is over.
