Volume 2 Chapter 8 Brother, Sister, And Nobility
In Class A, there was a certain brother and sister.
Tall, slim, and incredibly good-looking. Around him were more than ten boys and girls. It was like a royal guard protecting a prince.
The sister had twin tails and was holding a fan.
She was also stunning. With a great figure, she had over ten boys surrounding her.
The two were chatting leisurely.
"Hey, big brother... how was the first day at school?"
"Well, it was normal. From what I saw, there's nothing special about these people. What about you?"
"Just like you. Hehe, even though they say it's the biggest school in the world, is it really like this?"
The girl opened her fan and covered her mouth.
Then, a boy behind her took out a tea set from his bag.
He also pulled out a kettle with hot water, high-quality tea leaves, and cookies──things that seemed impossible to fit in his bag.
The girl smiled brightly.
"Thank you, Pocket."
"N-no problem, Lady Sarissa."
The girl's name was Sarissa. The brother's name was Rosho.
The boy called Pocket had a skill called 'Storage,' and Rosho said, "Oh, really?"
"A storage-type skill, huh? What level is it?"
"Yes. It's at level 10 now... and it 'evolved' to 'Storage Level 2.'"
"Level 2, huh? If I remember right, the time stops for the things stored, right?"
"Yes."
"Hehe, with you, Pocket, I can have tea anytime. Thank you!"
"N-no!!"
Pocket turned bright red and got shy.
Sarissa's group of boys were gritting their teeth.
Rosho laughed with interest and let out a sigh.
"By the way... hey, big brother. You became friends with the Crown Prince, right?"
"Elwood? Yeah, that's right. It's only natural for a noble from another country to want to be friends with me, the next Duke."
"I see..."
"What's with you? Are you aiming for the position of Crown Prince's wife?"
"That might be nice."
At that, Sarissa's friends looked a bit confused.
Then, the classroom door opened.
In walked Elwood, accompanied by a few attendants.
"Oh, there you are. Hey Rosho, you're still in the classroom?"
"Yeah, Elwood. I was having a fun chat with my beloved little sister."
"Little sister?"
With that, Sarissa stood up, lightly lifted her skirt, and bowed.
Elwood followed suit and bowed as well.
"Nice to meet you. I am Sarissa, the eldest daughter of Duke Kinesis from the Deo Kingdom. I've heard a lot about you, Crown Prince Elwood of the Galatinne Kingdom."
"Nice to meet you too. I'd like to say Crown Prince Elwood, but just call me Elwood at school. Treat me like a regular student."
That's definitely impossible, Sarissa thought.
Basically, once you enter the academy, whether you're a 'noble' or a 'commoner,' everyone is treated as a 'student.' But that's just a facade; politics are involved.
It doesn't change the fact that the person in front of her is the Crown Prince of Galatinne, the largest kingdom in the world.
Elwood laughed cheerfully.
"Is my reputation spreading even to the Deo Kingdom?"
Saying that, Rosho replied.
"The story of the 'genius' born with 3 skills is known in the Deo Kingdom too?"
"If we're talking about that, the 'born Sword Saint' born in the Kingdom of Deo has also been spread. A Sword Saint... that's impossible, right? Normally, you only reach that level after evolving your skills, right?"
"I don't know. That's just how they were born."
"And also, your sister. Lady Sarissa, about you..."
"Hehe... that's embarrassing."
Elwood chuckled.
Skills evolve.
Skills have 'level settings,' and when you reach a certain level, the skill evolves.
Only those with the 'Skill Appraisal' skill can see the skill levels.
Elwood said.
"A swordsman, level 100 swordsman, sword master, sword emperor... then the Sword Saint, right? A genius swordsman who skipped all those stages to become a Sword Saint, and a magic genius who also skipped stages to have the 'Magic Saint' skill. Wow, the Deo Kingdom is amazing."
"Stop joking around."
"Hehe. Big brother, are you embarrassed?"
"Shut up."
Elwood, Rosho, and Sarissa laughed.
But then──Elwood touched on something.
"By the way, the Duke Kinesis family has 3 childrens, right? The oldest one..."
Elwood said.
Rosho replied, looking bored but with a twisted smile.
"Yeah, there was an older brother, but he died."
"What?"
"Yeah, my older brother... he passed away in an accident. I believe he's still watching over us from heaven."
"I-I see... I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. It was 6 years ago. More importantly, we should head home soon."
"Oh, right. Actually, I came to talk to you about something. I wanted to invite you to be my teammate for the martial arts tournament."
"Ah, the one with 3 people in a group? I'm good with that."
"Ah, I want to join too!"
"Alright, it's decided. Me, Rosho, Lady Sarissa... heh, we can aim for the win."
"Of course."
The 3 of them left the classroom while chatting.
The two followers who were secretly trying to invite Rosho and Sarissa were left feeling disappointed.
* * *
That night.
Back in his room, Rosho let out a big yawn and collapsed onto his bed.
"Speaking of which, it's been 6 years. That damn brother of mine who could only use Telekinesis is dead."
Not dead, though.
Rosho stared at his own hands and smirked.
"Ah, the brother I 'killed.' Hehe... I still remember the feeling of that flesh back then. Thanks to that, I learned how to 'cut people'."
Having cut a human at the age of ten, Rosho grew rapidly afterward.
After all, real experience is better than a hundred trainings; it leads to strength.
To the brother whose face he couldn't even remember, Rosho said.
"Brother. I'm doing my best, okay?"
Those words were───contempt directed at the brother he had killed.
