The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Competition (2)

Mina looked at me and pondered but immediately shook her head.

“It's not allowed. It's not mine, so I can't bet.”

“Do you avoid it? Are you afraid of losing?”

Mina's eyes widened as I repeated what she had just said before. But soon after, Mina shook her head and said,

“What Leblaine said is not wrong. It is not right to take the results of the efforts of the opposing team in an instant.”

Shouts erupted from within the labyrinth.

"What are you!"

“Mina!”

Alan shouted, but Mina firmly shook her head and looked at me.

"I'm sorry. I'm evil.”

“…….”

“And thank you for teaching me not to do the wrong thing.”

“…….”

"I'm in trouble. I like you more. Oh, that's not good. If that's the case, I'll stick to you like gum.”

“It will be troublesome.”

Emeline said that.

He climbed up the labyrinth and looked at Mina.

“Emeline, let's be friends. Me and you. I was so touched when you said it out loud earlier. I realized that I could not judge other world affairs.”

Emeline flinched and looked at the smiling girl.

“I am a person with many shortcomings, so if you don't mind, I hope you will teach me many things in the future.”

Mina, who was smiling brightly, heard a shout from under the labyrinth and descended from the labyrinth. Then he waved at me and Emeline from below.

“Let's support each other!”

We ended up in the first place.

In the final moments, we managed to break one more yellow barrier to maintain first place with 8 points.

And second place…

“That's amazing.they've dealt with two red barriers.”

“New child of destiny.... after all, it is a different skill than ordinary people.”.

Mina's group, who dealt two red obstacles in the maze for 30 minutes, finished second with 6 points.

***

About an hour passed after the evaluation was completed.

Some of the professors in charge of class assignment evaluation came to the training ground with a bundle of parchments.

A professor in charge of class placement evaluation lifts a piece of parchment and calls out the student's name.

“Rocitra, Miguel, Manhattan. Class D.”

The children who were called to class D were pale.

“Mikhail, Jodie, Class D. Sandra, Chris, Class A.”

The students who were summoned to Class A heaved a sigh of relief.

“Palpathy, Alan. Class B.”

"What!?"

shouted Alan. People's eyes focused on Alan, whose face was flushed red.

'Alan is class B?'

Even Emeline and I stared at the professor with puzzled expressions.

The professor looked at Alan with a dry expression on his face.

"Are you not satisfied with the results?"

“Y-yah! I'm in a group with Sandra and Chris, who have been assigned to Class A. But why am I in Class B!”

"What are you doing in the evaluation?"

"Huh?"

“Sandra finds the red barrier with magic, and Chris finds the barrier code and breaks the yellow barrier twice. What are you doing?"

“A-me....”.

“Not only do you not contribute to your team to earn points, but you are against everything they discuss and decide. Under the pretext of your brother's information.”

"I'm not the only one doing that!"

“I don't blame you. There is nothing more valuable in war than information. The best tactics come up when you consider maps of other countries and the status of commanders. The problem is that you blindly trust that information.”

"Huh……?"

“How can you be sure that this test is no different from the information you have? What if the barrier color is different? What destroys the barrier and rescues the hostages is the content of that test?”

“I-it ....”.

“You did not have the upper hand in the information war, you are not responsible.”

"Professor!"

“Actually your information is wrong. In the last test, your brother was able to break through the purple barrier at your level, but now it is different. The purple barrier was built with attacking magic. If we attack recklessly, not only the hostages inside, but also the attacking students will be severely injured. ”

“…….”

“From my personal point of view, most of these new students fail!”

The professor let out a thunderous roar. Alan became dumbfounded, and even the other students panicked.

The professor looked at the students with hostile eyes.

“A commander who panics at the unexpected will make their general uneasy.”

When I put the roof in the labyrinth, the captains didn't know what to do.

“Then there are also people who carelessly follow others to the battlefield without a plan.”

The students who rushed into the labyrinth followed me and Emeline had a grim face.

“Also the person who tried to steal the opponent's score by focusing on the hostages rather than understanding the contents of the exam.”

This evaluation is training in preparation for combat in situations where there are hostages.

The students who had been fighting over the hostages had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"There's only one person in this freshman class who's useful."

The professor's eyes were on me. Naturally, the students also noticed me.

The professor looked at me and said.

“Once the test is announced, he makes a strategy, and performs the task brilliantly by penetrating the content rather than focusing on the score."

"Yes?"

"That's great, Leblaine."

Even among the seniors who witnessed the training ground, there were words of praise.

"Ingenious. Even though they lack people, he uses them to change the terrain.”

“The fact that he monopolizes the hill and limits the opposing team's field of view is also amazing.”

“He will be useful even if they directly put him into battle.”

I was a little surprised, and Emeline poked me on the side.

"You did well."

"Huh……?"

"I think today you .. you did pretty well."

Emeline is very stingy with compliments. But what came out of his mouth this time was a compliment.

I smiled shyly at the professor, and the professor laughed out loud.

“Leblaine and Emeline. Class A."

Emeline and I took a deep breath and looked at each other.

Emeline tried to calm down, but she looked very touched. She bit her lips and covered her red eyes with her hands.

'Actually, there were only two people, so I was very anxious.'

The professor nodded and spoke.

“Last, Mina. Class A."

"Thank you!"

This concludes the evaluation of class assignments.

Emeline and I entered Class A, and were rated as the best group. We even got the right to lead in choosing mentors.

***

At dinner, Emeline heard my murmur, and put down her spoon as if she was dumbfounded.

“Stupid! How do you not know the mentor system of the Odis Academy! As soon as I came to school, I kept talking about it!”

“Life as a woman.. I don't think I should look into it because everyone around me is giving me information. But what is it?”

"Didn't your brothers tell you?"

“My brothers don't talk about the academy at home. I'd rather ask a question than they tell me. ”

"What are you doing today?"

“What do you eat?”

“Who is bothering you?!”

Emeline shook her head remembering the actions of Leblaine's older brother.

“Ya, your brothers.. Simply put, the mentor system is 'school-appointed brother'.”.

"School-appointed brother?"

“They make senior guides as juniors. Sometimes they get penalty points for each other's mistakes, and they fight in pairs. So, for you who want to have a gold network, it is a valuable system.”

"I understand…!"

“Starting with a freshman welcoming party tonight, the freshman can ask his senior to be their mentor, but we can mention the senior before anyone else, and they can guide us as long as the seniors disagree. Of course, you can also ask for mentors from Elysiano Class.” students

"That's great!"

I shouted excitedly.

'Who should I choose?'

I love the princess, and the heir to the Kingdom of Crocus is fine too.

'The heirs of a kingdom can be profitable because of their trade routes. No, it's better to build up military strength first. Will the twin princes be okay?'

I laughed gleefully while holding the fork, and Emeline chuckled.

"Emeline, have you chosen two seniors as mentors?"

"I only wanted one person from the start."

"Who?"

"The Magician from Elysiano Class, Juliet!"

Emeline patted her cheeks with a joyful expression.

“If there is a Javelin in this empire, there is Juliet in the Mojas Empire. Have you heard of him? ”

“Witch, Juliet.. Yes, she is famous for removing the entire area in Battle of Robes..”.

“Isn't he so cool? I will become Juliet's mentee and enter the horse battalion in the white where Javelin is located.Juliet is the first person from the west to enter the Elysiano Class.”.

"Didn't you like Adrian?"

“Prince Adrian is my second choice. Ah, don't talk about him! Just thinking about it makes me ashamed.”

"Do you not want to seduce Adrian?"

“Don't mention it. It's a shame for my childhood.”

Emeline shook her head, and I laughed out loud.

'The reason my brothers asked to meet me at night was because there was a welcoming party for new students.'

Mentoring is important, but I realize one thing.

"I need someone to ask for information."

In the empire, I had a lot of information through Dubbede, the mercenary guild of hope, and more but now it was different.

'I have no information here. This is not a place I have been to before retreating into the past, so this is an unknown territory.'

On the other hand, Mina, who came from another world, already had all kinds of information.

I glanced at Mina's desk, which was crowded with people.

Mina is introduced to all kinds of people because she has Sandra and Alan, who have a good relationship with people.

"Are you just going to let it go?"

For Emeline question, I said, “Hah?”

“That girl gets people like that.”

"Let her."

"You know you're just saying things that aren't like you lately, right?"

“Really? H, that doesn't suit me. When I saw Mina, I just remembered the days when Pocket became a Lady at Amity.”

I grinned with a fork in my mouth.

“Lady Dubble must be cruel. isn't it?”

"What do you mean……?"

I smiled when I saw Alan giggling next to Mina.

“I'm like myself.”

Alan just woke up with a plate and I woke up too.

Emeline grabbed me and asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"I also have to get an informant."

With that said, I put the dishes on the table and followed Alan.

Alan, who was sitting alone on the bench, took out something and started talking.

“True, mother, trust me. The second child of destiny fell in love with me. He'll soon be your son-in-law. Firrst? Ah, that girl is arrogant and doesn't suit my taste. Miss Dubblede is-”

'That's a communication tool.'

Is he crazy?

He used it in the academy when it wasn't allowed?

'Be friendly to Mina was on purpose.'

It was all because I was hostile towards him, so he preferred Mina and wanted to take her as his wife.

"Eh, class B. Professor, because of that lunatic, I-"

"Hello?"

Alan, who had been chatting with the communication device, turned his head in an instant.

"You……!"

"Why did you stop?"

Alan coughed and ended the call. He said as he placed the communication device in his pocket.

“This is what my brother entrusted to me for a while. It is a school communication tool.”

“I didn't ask.”

“Then why are you following me? Why bother ... Do you like me?

What kind of shit is this

"That's not gonna happen."

It wasn't me who said that. It was a blond man who emerged from the darkness while staring intently at Alan.

“Adrian..

Wind blowing. He had an animal-like look on him. Then.

“Rian!”

Mina's voice came from behind her. He rushed over and took a breath.

“You are completely overrated. Do you know how long I've been looking for you? How could the person who brought me here leave me like this - Leblaine?”

Mina looked at me and widened her eyes.

“Why are you here .. ah, wait a minute. Let's talk later. I have something to discuss with Rian-”

At that moment, Adrian came to me. He said carefully, putting his hand on my cheek.

"Why are you hurt here?"

"Huh?"

"You're hurt."

"Eh, Mina has something to say"

"Is that more important than you?"

I looked at Mina, as Alan looked at her. Adrian kept looking at me from the start.

'What's with this atmosphere?'
