How to Become a Person in a Novel World

Chapter 018: Don't Underestimate Me! (Armrude)

“Do you underestimate me just because I'm a girl, Mr Aslan?” tanyaku sharp in the middle of our discussion related to the appointment of the class chairman. A week had already passed since the welcoming ceremony of the new students. The introductory week is over. It's time for us to start determining the strategic stakeholders in the class.

The young man I asked looked coldly. He's just like me, not a native of the Diamond Kingdom. He was not even from the Western Continents, but from the Great Mainland.

“It's not so, Miss Hilton. I'm sure that you are a great girl with such high confidence,” she finally replied. That young man named Aslan has underestimated me. She thought that I didn't deserve to lead this class just because I was a woman. “The problem is, your influence is too weak, Miss. Young Master Anderson won't want to admit your position—”

“It's clear!” exclaim Bion from the back row, “Who wants to be ruled by a baron girl? I told you, I'm the only one who deserves to be the head of this class!”

“Who said that? People who like to bully are not at all worthy of leading this class,” my rebuttal is hard. During this week, Bion had already interfered with other students by his surname several times. Hmh! He was only lucky because in this class there were no duke-class nobles. Well, even though there is a marquez class, but the boy is very passive, even impressed afraid of Bion and his gang.

“You–!” bion's exclamation was held back by a clap from Magister Cloen. All the students who initially focused on the boy were now paying attention to the homeroom in front.

“Enough, Children! You don't need to argue any longer,” Magister Cloen said with his flat face, “So, is anyone else willing to run for chairman?”

“Master,” call Aslan while raising his hand, “I want to propose someone else.”

“Say!” reply Magister Cloen.

“I think,” said the boy from the Big Mainland, “Master Magnum is more suitable to lead this class.”

“Hai! What do you mean?” Arnold Magnum, the young man referred to by Aslan exclaimed, “I don't want to run for chairman.”

“Explain, Mr Aslan!” pinta Magister Cloen's. Apparently, he was interested in the proposal. Although I don't like it very much, I also agree that Arnold Magnum is better suited to lead the class than the rough Bion.

“Mr Magnum is a highly social capable person. He is already friends with all the students in this class,” Aslan explained. That's lies. Arnold hasn't been friends with everyone. He had never even chatted with Lady Muthia at all.

“She also has a good family background. Although not as high as marquez, at least on par with Mr. Anderson,” Aslan reviews details. Cih, you little figurehead! His words contain a lot of discrimination. Did he think the noble children under the count could not come forward to run for office?

“There are others?” ask Magister Cloen again. Silent class. That means, no one else wants to nominate or be nominated. Magister Cloen continued, “Then we have three candidates here. They are Mr. Anderson, Miss Hilton, and Mr. Magnum. I want you to prepare your vision and mission while leading this class. Tomorrow, you guys should show it straight away.”

“Good, Magister,” answer us in unison.

Classes are resumed. We study the history of the continent and its geographical location. Magister Cloen also alludes to the war between the Western Continents and the Great Lands.

The war has been going on for hundreds of years. Both sides are currently in a ceasefire agreement signed last summer. To ensure the truce, both sides sent their respective ambassadors of honor. That's why Aslan and some of his friends are in this academy, while the Diamond Kingdom sent the Second Prince to be ambassadors in the Land of the Great with elite representatives from other Western Continental kingdoms.

“Rosy, why do you want to fight that guy?” ask Lily anxiously after the lesson ends, “Are you sure you can beat her?”

“Em,” Lily nodded, “Alright.”

Well, Lily's concern was indeed not unreasonable. Ck, look! Bion, the haughty boy is blocking our way with his gang. He looked very arrogant just because his father was a count.

“Oi, Rosy,” call her carelessly, whereas I never let her call my name so, “You are a unique girl, yes. Just this first time I met a girl as brave as you.”

“Heh, move! You get in the way,” reply sarcasm. I'm not afraid of his stare at all. He was just a pretentious boy who liked to rely on his family name.

“Ck, what if I don't want to?” ask her with a seductive smile. I hate that smile. He was a shameless young man.

“Rosy,” whispered Lily while gripping my shirt. He was obviously afraid of the intimidation. I clasped his hand and took him away, "Lily, let's find another way."

"Oi, I haven't allowed you to leave yet," Bion hurriedly blocked my way to leave. He grabbed my arm with his big hand. I whispered to Lily to go alone.

"Ta–but," Lily was still in doubt. That girl won't leave me alone. After I gave him a small signal, he forced himself to run.

"Hm," Bion tightened his grip, "It turns out you're a good girl who's willing to sacrifice, yeah."

I returned his words with a sharp look. Since Lily's not here yet, it's time for me to teach them a lesson. They have been very presumptuous because they dare to mess with Rubia vi Emerald–no, Rosica Hilton.

I turned my hand with a strong enough force. That move allowed me to break free from Bion's grip. The boy was surprised by it. With reflex, he tried to grab my hand again. Cih, if this was a battlefield, I would not hesitate to kill him with my beloved sword.

"That's you!" I shouted while hitting him with a short stick. It was a stick I always carried everywhere. Inside was a fairly sharp dagger, but I wouldn't use it to kill them.

"You—!" Bion looked surprised. So did his friends who had been watching from behind. "Basic girl—huak!?"

I kicked Bion's stomach until it bounced to where his friends were standing. That kid was too close. He makes me feel for it. It was fortunate that I was wearing loose trousers behind my skirt, so I could move around freely.

“Why?” I snapped with sharp glaring eyes. My hand grips the stick tightly, ready to hit it anytime, “You started it. Go one by one if you really are men!”

“Wah, wah ...,” the voice of a young man made me turn my head. That voice sounded foreign and annoying. Apparently, he's a plot with Bion. “It turns out Miss Hilton is a tough girl. You amaze me.”

“Rosy,” Lily running hugging me. He came to bring some people with him. They are not just anyone. “You're okay, right?”

“I'm fine,” I reply short. My gaze was directed back to the people Lily brought. They are Lady Muthia and two other male seniors.
