Avoid Former Co-Workers

10 – 10. Victory Feast (5)

“…What is it? Magic?”

A loud sound was heard nearby, and the direction was near west. That was the direction of the entrance.

Because he is so sensitive to magic, Rhenias could also sense waves of magic from the side where the sound was heard.

“Come to think of it, Junon-senpai asked me to meet him at the entrance…”

What could be the matter?

Renias walked from the terrace to the main entrance to the banquet hall along the garden path with some anxiety and doubts.

***

“Why are you doing this?”

“Are you even blocking our entry because we did something wrong? Please tell us the answer!”

At the entrance to the banquet hall, the two get lost as if they had been censored and then protest.

The academy uniform has magic resistance, which absorbs a certain amount of magic damage and receives the power converted into physical shock.

It was to make sure that students would avoid being mortally wounded or crippled even if they fought or participated in training or sparring.

Of course, they were attacking with magic, so they should be embarrassed, but unfortunately, they didn’t block them. It couldn’t be stopped

The difference in strength is unavoidable, but since magic was used, it can be offset by blocking it.

However, the possession of weapons is prohibited at banquets.

Since there is no weapon that is the lifeblood of the position of avant-garde, there is no way to block magic, so there is no means to counter it.

Unusually, these security guards who check the faces and names of students entering the entrance with roll books are seniors in the third year.

“Noel from Class D, John from Class D as well. That’s your name right?”

“How do we get our name…”

The reason why the 3rd year seniors in charge of security forcibly blocked the 2nd year juniors from entering. That.

“I’m not qualified to participate in the banquet hall, so I can’t let you in, can I?”

This time, too, it was because he was receiving inferior treatment for being in the avant-garde.

Lebrand Academy, pursuing equality. A banquet hall that removes the curtain of status and treats you as a student and receives advice.

The guards at the banquet hall entrance were blocking it.

“If you’re frustrated, wait until they come out of the banquet. It’s the policy set by the professors, so don’t shout.”

The two were displeased, but they had no choice but to wait near the entrance at the words of the professors’ instructions.

“…That’s right. Can’t I help it because the professors ordered it?”

“When will you come out…”

The 3rd grade student blocks the entry of the two students again.

Around 20 people have already gathered in a short time of 5 minutes. All are D and E class students.

“As expected.”

Junon arrived at a highland where he could look down on what was happening at the entrance.

“As expected, even if Sylvia wasn’t there, it was obvious that they’d come up with a replacement.”

The Victory Banquet runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It is 3 hours in total.

However, the student council president came to class D and E and notified the students that it was from 7:30 to 9:00. That is, about half of them were removed.

Even though there is no system for not being qualified to attend the banquet hall, it is like filtering out people in that way and preventing students from Class D and E from entering. The reason is so obvious that it makes me sick to my stomach.

Then, a student from Class C who arrived late passed by. How many students from Class D and E were there who witnessed it?

When I raise a question, I reply that it is the policy of the professors and ask for the standards.

In the end, the students from D and E storm into the banquet hall bursting with sadness.

This was the whole story of the inferior student riot.

“Is Rhenias still…?”

In fact, the masterminds behind this incident are a coalition of nobles and professors.

It was to create a refutation of the suicide incident of a student because the grand duke stepped forward and put pressure on it.

The truth of this incident will be revealed only after one of the Chancellors of the Artena Empire arrives, but by then the water has already spilled over.

Some of the students from Class D and E are on the path of expulsion after the incident broke out, and they find themselves in an impossible situation.

As this semester is over and next year is approaching, the students in the lower classes can’t help but feel restless.

It was because the number of students in charge of the avant-garde position decreased significantly from the third year onwards.

Most of them give up their studies or lose their purpose, and in the worst case, their sense of shame is amplified and they choose the worst option: suicide.

They are not too different.

If you don’t go up to class C by the second year, the class assignment test this semester is practically the last.

It’s not that the aristocrats and the professor union don’t know that, so those who belong to the inferior students have no choice but to be more nervous.

As soon as one person arrives, the class division standards change and professors’ corruption is uncovered, but what use is that?

Students will only resent me for being so late.

‘Besides, the absence of the avant-garde numbers in the joint practice in the first semester of the third year will result in the worst damage ever.’

Thinking of the future, the importance of the vanguard and support positions will increase even more, so if this is not stopped immediately, a large snowball will be created that will swallow the principality in the future.

That’s why it was necessary for Rhenias to witness the scene.

I hope that you will open your eyes and be angry at the atrocities of the aristocrats in the shadows of the academy.

Hopeing that the pure anger of a girl who is located in the absolute good will save the inferior students who may be on the verge of death.

“Oops…!”

Seeing that the 3rd grader holding the roll book and the 1st grader girl who just arrived are exchanging signals, the D and E class students are about to run out of control in front of her eyes.

Has Rhenias not arrived yet?

Should I go out and stop it myself? What should I do if I get blocked?

Complicated thoughts flashed by, but Junon was already descending from the building. He said he would go down and do something.

“What’s your name and grade?”

“This is Nilla from Year 1.”

With a freshman attending the banquet for the first time at the entrance, he would have expected that student named Nilla to hear her bitter comments and receive the same treatment.

But it was different from what they expected…

“I checked. You can go in.”

“What is…?”

“You passed? What happened?”

“Why does that student work and us not?”

“I told you. You don’t deserve to be in. It’s marked that way on the roster.”

“What is entitlement? Is there something written in that book? We’d like to see you for a moment.”

“Oh, really. I told you it was a policy decided by the professors. How many more times do I have to explain it? If you show this, we’ll get in trouble.”

A brief period of confusion arrives, and the bewildered students begin to search for the cause.

“So what’s different about that student named Nilla from us?”

Then the fuse is lit.

“…Nilla is in class C. I was right next to her when she was assigned to the freshman class.”

“What? Then…”

“Ha… Are you saying it’s because we’re not in Class C, but in Class D or E?”

It started. The rebellion of those who harbored resentment.

“What qualifications do you have for this!! You’re just ignoring me because you’re not in the front line and support system like us, you’re in a different class!!”

“I heard that the professors decided… Isn’t it just their own way?”

“Explain it straight!! If you don’t have a compelling reason, you can just let it in!!”

“Dude, f*ck you. You’re annoying.”

Kwaang-!

“Ugh!!”

The defense mechanism of the school uniform turns the magic fired by the 3rd year students into a physical attack, and a loud sound reverberates.

As a student who clearly demands an explanation falls out of the fire magic once again, the eyes of the students waiting outside gather.

There are some students I met for the first time, and some I have been classmates with.

There are students who have a close relationship called friends, but there are also students who are just in the same grade.

However, facing the current absurdity, everyone had no choice but to have one mind.

“What kind of rule is this!! f*ck the bullsh*t!!!”

“What did we… Do we do wrong!!!”

“Why the hell do we have to be discriminated against like this?”

“Is this a school? A place that discriminates and even deprives you of your rights just because you are in the front position?!!!”

Students with a similar position as the lower class began to express their anger all at once.

“Ha, are these bastards climbing up because they’re watching?”

“The professors said that it was their policy not to admit people who did not meet the qualifications. You guys didn’t hear that.”

On the other hand, the 3rd graders’ mouths move as if they’ve waited, and some smirk because they can’t manage their facial expressions.

They were aiming for this reaction from the inferior students and passed a student named Nilla in front of her eyes.

“Let’s go! Let’s go in and turn this school upside down!!”

2Nd year, a guardian named Noel is the first to run barefoot. And fire magic aimed at Noel precisely at the entrance.

It was obviously magic that would cause an explosion with a loud sound, but

Teeing-!

“What, what…?”

Faang-!

The fireball that was approaching Noel in front of his eyes was offset by something flying from the side.

Everyone at the entrance to the banquet hall had their eyes tightly closed due to the thick smoke and gusts of wind generated by the magic collision.

And when they opened their eyes again, those at the entrance of the banquet hall, whose view was obscured by smoke, could not help but notice a silver-haired girl radiating from the garden on the left.

“I-that’s…”

“Lady Rhenias…?”

“I don’t think there’s a single professor who has made such a policy at this banquet. Senior?”

Junon, who had just come down from the building, clenched his fists in relief.

‘Nice timing, Rhenias!’
