Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

7 – Semester (1)⚝

It was daunting just to see the space filled with four hundred new cadets. Kite had already bent her back, and even her expression was servile. There’s nothing much different about me. My back shriveled up a bit.

“The support department is here. Everyone, gather here.”

Those in white school uniforms guided us. I was finally able to see a beauty as good as Kite. Even wearing white shoes, she was a woman reminiscent of a noble lady. I glanced at her and Kite patted her hamstring with her knee. Soon, people rushed in one direction, as if putting meat in the intestines.

We lined up on the far right.

Black stroke on the left. Blue battle. The orange magic swords were standing in a row. The seniors went upstairs and looked down at the freshmen.

All academies in the capital, including Heoden, are strictly prohibited from entering outsiders, including family members. It was a forced measure by the royal family, concerned that there would be external pressure depending on their status, background, and wealth.

“Greetings, everyone!”

Beside the principal and decommandant, a speaker specializing in vocal music delivered a message. Anyway, starting with the welcome speech that can be heard anywhere, the opening ceremony and closing ceremony were held. Nothing special. I looked around and saw two figures pointing at me in the blue waves. When our eyes meet, when we wiggle our index fingers, it shows the meaning of coming here.

─If it weren’t for the seniors, I would have fought openly.

I’m not sorry, so I don’t even have the heart to go and find out. He’ll ignore it for now, but if he does anything strange to Kite, then he’ll fight back. When it comes to fighting skills, no matter where you go, you won’t lose.

Since there was no one else to step up to the podium, the top student came up, claiming to be the freshman representative. I was impressed because she was a woman with curly hair. Anyway, I’m glad there’s someone with better grades than me. Otherwise, she would have been really disappointed.

“All juniors follow us.”

When the ceremony was over, seniors in the support department guided us where to go.

“By the way, we are a support group student council. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to this building.”

We moved into a new building.

Heoden refers to all the border areas as gu (邱), which means hill. So, it is divided into faculty district, teaching district, research district, lecture district, student district, living district, commercial district, etc. Here, the building unit is also called a building. In addition, all areas not designated as development prohibited areas are designated as forests. All such places are considered as protected areas, and even logging is prohibited, let alone construction.

The student council room for the support division of the student district we entered was all made of pure white. It’s beautiful, but I was a bit puzzled because the facilities weren’t as good as I expected.

“It looks very cozy here.”

Kite whispered that, but it seemed a bit odd to me. I learned the geography of this place for a few days, but the local store was a remote place no matter who saw it. Not only is it located in the west corner, but it is also quite far from the commercial district.

I know that cadets in the support system have an overwhelmingly high percentage of merit-based admissions, so they pay more. If so, is this not visible discrimination?

“Everyone sit comfortably.”

With a strange silence, everyone sat on the floor. Meanwhile, Kite puts her handkerchief on her butt and sits down. She had the behavior of a noble lady that she had learned about in Nutz Haven.

“Since everyone is seeing it for the first time, I will introduce myself first and tell you what I need to know. Oh, I’m Max, the representative of the second year students. Here, the basic policy is for seniors to speak condescendingly to juniors and juniors to respect seniors, so take note.”

It’s a comfortable way of speaking. Come out one by one, according to their number, what they like and what they don’t like. I talked about my goals for this year. Maybe my name was called in order of grade, but my turn came soon. I got up from my seat and strode forward.

“What I like is a competent person. The things I hate are things like washing dishes and cleaning.”

“What are your goals for this year?”

“The whole chief.”

Someone laughed. Looking at it, Kite is more shy than me. What do you mean? That’s really the goal, but isn’t it more ridiculous not to be able to say that? Clap clap clap, even the sound of applause was not cool. Then Kite woke up.

“Uh…… What I like…… That’s sweet…… Oh, I like to eat sweets…… No, it cooks well.”

─The head and body are confirmed.

The boys’ eyes focused more on him as he continued to hesitate. It’s not a very nice feeling, but you should get used to it.

“What is your goal?”

Senior Max asked as I crouched down to enter.

“There is no specific goal…… I want to have a good marriage. Dad, no dad…… The woman emphasized that it was the most important thing. So here…… Graduating is a bit silly, but…… To live with a good person and have children.”

As I said that while tugging at the awkward school uniform shirt, I heard soft breathing. When I widen my eyes and tell him to speak straight, he swallows and barely speaks.

“So…… You graduate safely!”

As if this was enough, a female senior from the student council called the next person. Everyone clapped their hands lukewarmly, trying to finish it properly, but one of the female students stood up. It’s curly blonde, but somehow the impression is fierce. It was a bit surprising that his face showed coldness before beauty.

“If that’s the case, go to the prom. Why did you come all the way here to Heoden?”

─I can’t deny it.

Kite blinked in surprise at the merciless stone sling. That’s not wrong. The ponytail was doing what I couldn’t bear to say to the lord. Debutants are good, why did you send me to Heoden in a loop?

“With someone I like…… I have to study to get married…… I did.”

No sighs, Winnie the Pooh, I heard only the sound of his breathing as he emptied the air out of his lungs. Finally Kite came back to me. Heat rose from all over her body. Seeing that she is already sweaty, the sweat will cut her if she doesn’t wash her clothes in time. Contrary to her modest appearance, she always carried perfume because of her unique strong body.

“What I like is fighting. What I hate are cowardly and incompetent things.”

It was the woman who just asked Kite a question. She didn’t even say her name, so everyone was surprised.

“Oh, my name?”

─Looking at his arrogance, he seems to have a back stomach.

“First of all, I decided to enter Perku Dai Frau.”

Everyone is hearing this for the first time. It’s me, I don’t even know the names of major noble families, so I have nothing to say. Dick, Jean, Pan, Chen. You just have to be careful with these four. I don’t intend to memorize the rest, but I can’t forget Perku Dai Frau.

“The goal is to get out of here as soon as possible.”

The attitude of openly fighting was somehow fun. For the first time since coming here, I really want to laugh. If I had a back belly, it would have been a snout that was pierced that way. Because I had quite a few arguments with my hyungs. What I want to say is always full and overflowing, but I just endure it. It is powerless rather than incompetent.

“Everyone should clap. Aren’t you cowardly ones doing well?”

Seeing that he is determined and provocative, it seems that he will beat anyone if he gets caught. While everyone in her was frozen, her mood turned strange when she entered. The seniors in charge of the show laughed awkwardly and said that the next person should come first.

After that, it was only normal people. Mostly nobody stood out, a pretty woman and a couple of smart-looking men were all I noticed. I thought it would end well like this, so I let go of my tension and just watched. There was a time when Kite was bored enough to play by pulling my shirt off and tying her knot.

“This is the end of the voice. Now, I will explain what our affiliates do and what our juniors can enjoy.”

The woman came out first and gave me advice from important to trivial things. When that was over, the man came out and explained the things to be careful of while living at the academy. Then.

“If possible, don’t listen to other lectures. Our role is focused only on helping the combat and administrative branches. So, there is no reason to take other classes. If there are people here who like headaches and sweats, Madona, I won’t stop them from taking combat lectures. Administration is fine, but short thesis is essential there, so I recommend it to perverts who like hard work.”

A few women let out light laughs. I still don’t know what the hearts of women who laugh at such words. Kite didn’t laugh along with the others, but made a fuss in my ear.

“Did you hear? Everyone who listens to other courses is said to be a pervert!”

“Then, I must be a true pervert.”

A few days ago, during lunch, I suggested that you take basic archery and swordsmanship lessons.

“Then am I also a pervert?”

“No, you are weak-willed.”

As we jokingly pushed it away, Max looked at us and smiled. It was soft, but never a friendly feeling.

“Being admitted to the academy is a big pride, and for some it is the honor of the family. As someone said earlier, we will have work to do as long as we graduate safely. I don’t blame myself for not going to a better place. Here in Heoden, you can succeed as long as you study hard, and we have a well-established academic support system.”

Somehow, it seemed servile, so I was hesitant to listen.

“There are also a lot of kids who graduated from here and got married well. Know. I didn’t come to the academy for that. But, it’s good if it helps. Anyway, it’s great to quietly earn a diploma without causing conflict with other classes. All of our seniors were like that, so I hope you guys get along in harmony. Well, there is one more good news. Rita, can you tell me?”

A woman came forward from the side.

“Our support side does not have a declaration ceremony. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a bad habit. Right now, combat is the most intense, followed by administration. Magic was left only as a formality. How about it, don’t you think you’ve come in well?”

He looked at me like he was bewitched to make a bright smile. Kite blew the wind in my ear.

“Is it pretty?”

“Similar to you.”

“Then can you see me?”

“You’ve been watching for so long.”

Everyone applauded for joy, and suddenly a burst of light was heard. It was such a nervous cry that I wondered if I had heard it wrong. When I turned my head, Fake Die Frau, who was messing with her wavy blonde hair, sneered at me with a screeching noise.

“I’m speechless because it’s funny.”

─That b*tch really shouldn’t have a relationship.

Let’s get rid of the crane inside, and come forward without permission and kick the student council executives. I couldn’t possibly say that the lower class was looking at the upper class.

“You assholes. Do you believe this now?”

A gaze that could be called quite dignified weighed on everyone.

“Dogs and pigs.”

─Are you really crazy?

“You pay twice as much money to come in, and you don’t even think about protesting when you are driven to such a remote place?”
