Chapter 11 – 02. Sequence
+++
“How can there be so much fuss? It’s only been a day.”
A woman drinking hot coffee with her back straight.
And the way she brushed one side of her hair behind her ear was quite pretty.
Truly, beauty that transcends the ideal type.
I can’t help but admire even her circumstance.
“I know.”
“….”
It wasn’t that I was being polite.
She furrowed her brow slightly.
The human in front of her is the cause of this commotion, and the first in history to cause a major accident on the first day of entering the academy. Such a calmness on such a subject. She was confused, angry, and confused.
“Can I ask a question?”
Her heart doesn’t even know the dust of her… No, Sihwan, who was not interested at all, immediately put in a question.
“What the hell is that blue gem in that earring? It looks strange. Even if she asked Bari, she didn’t know.”
“… Can she just ask… Didn’t you ask that? Can I ask you a question right away?”
“No?”
“After….”
Woman.
Academy instructor Ha Yeon-seo sighed.
She listens, but is more cocky than you think.
Somehow, I feel like this face-to-face is going to be quite tiring.
“It’s difficult if you keep doing that. How about being polite?”
“You say that too. I’m talking very kindly.”
“…”
Her gasps and stuffy nose.
Are you saying this kindly?
“Is it not so?”
As he turned to her bari, she shook her head.
“Why? Nope?”
“Since I came here, I’ve been telling you constantly, but you really don’t listen to anything. I was impressed.”
“What a relief.”
Humans and dolls.
Except for special circumstances, the 『Advanced Race』, Especially the high ranking race 『Noblesse』, Is not even allowed to face each other, let alone be sick.
However, the two of them are chatting and joking around so comfortably.
‘Especially that man named Sihwan.’
At least the doll, Bari, is better. There was no respect for the higher races even after washing one’s eyes, but at least compared to the owner, he had common sense and was able to make appropriate judgments.
The problem is Ryu Si-hwan.
He doesn’t give that consideration at all.
This is a one-on-one meeting with Ha Yeon-seo, who is in charge of the academy’s general instructor despite being a ‘Noblesse’. Unless it was 『Dragonia』, He approached with extreme courtesy, as if he were treating a servant or a friend.
The representative evidence is the location of Bari.
Originally, it is common for servants and maids to sit behind the master rather than sit with them.
Owners are owners.
Servants face each other’s eyes to meet the situation,
It is basic among basics.
However, he dared to grab Bari, who was trying to stand, and seated him next to him.
Very unpleasant thing.
However, I accepted it generously because I thought it was not beautiful for someone who was the size of 『Noblesse』 To point out such a trivial thing. The fact that he knew nothing also played a part in that decision.
It’s a mountain beyond a mountain, I never thought I’d even say half a word.
I did.
He was consistently rude to his homeroom instructor, Yuina, and was even pointed out during that time.
However, he never thought that he, the instructor general, would do it to himself as well.
‘Just flip it over?’
Looking at the tower as a whole, there are too many A-rank trainees. And there will be many more in the future. There is no need to put up with this and bring him into the academy. All the more so if he is a human with an infinitely lower race limit.
But dolls are different.
I was inspired. What the hell is it that messes up his ratings his and draws his attention his?
It contains a bit of a cheeky ego, but it’s inanimate, so it’s forgivable.
“This earring….”
She pondered and she eventually decided to move on.
It’s easy to get angry, and it’s easy to drive humans away. Killing is easier.
But building fame is difficult.
The most necessary quality for a tower warrior is strength.
If you have power, and if you plan to have it, you should be treated well. That is the principle of the tower.
“This is too early for you to know now. I’ll let you know later when I get a chance.”
“Okay? Too bad. Tell me later.”
Sihwan fell in without asking deeply.
It was just a small interest. There was no interest in digging into the details.
“Then may I ask a question?”
“What?”
“I heard that you don’t know anything… Has human society gone that far? Not even basic education.”
“Well. I don’t know. I am not from here.”
“All humans from the inside are servants. You must be from the outside.”
“If it’s outside, it’s outside, but it’s a little outside.”
“Then is it on the outskirts of the continent?”
“No. The planet is different.”
“Planet?”
They seem to be saying the same thing, but it doesn’t work.
Receiving her strange feeling of her, she tilted her head.
“I wouldn’t know the details. Just know that you are not from this world.”
“I am not of this world….”
She chews on his words and is lost in her thoughts.
The two hills stood out greatly as she crossed her arms under her breasts.
“Well, good. Origin is not very important.”
After a few minutes of thought, she nodded her head.
“Then party-“
“Is it my turn now?”
“Yes?”
“How strong is [Noblesse] That it exudes so much pride? Both you and the instructor.”
Sihwan cuts her off and enters.
“….”
I guess I need to do some very basic etiquette training.

“Does interrupting feel so bad?”
On the way out after meeting Ha Yeon-seo.
Shihwan murmured, recalling his memories of her from just before.
Yeon-seo answered each one.
From the difference in strength between the foreign race and the “Advanced race”, To the inherent difference within the “Advanced race”.
『Dwarves』, The weakest of the 『Advanced Races』, And 『Elfs』 Next in line had similar strength, but the difference between them and the 『Asmodians』 Was greater than the difference between them and the ‘foreign races’.
In other words,
『Asmodian』〉〉〉 『Elf, Dwarf』〉〉 ‘Other Race’
And since 『Noblesse』 Is much stronger than those 『Evils』, It was not an exaggeration to say that 『Elf』 And 『Dwarf』 Were protected by higher races, even though they were grouped as the 『Advanced 5 races』, So it was no exaggeration to say that 『Noblesse』, The highest race, 』
Of course, there are 『Dragonia』, But there are extremely few of them, and those who do not appear in the world.
In the end, 『Noblesse』 Could be said to be the top race.
Yeon-seo was quite kind and explained in detail, but there was an unpleasantness in her tone that even a dull circumstance could be understood.
And before the face-to-face was over and he left the room, a word stuck in his back.
“Don’t stop talking next time~. Because I really want to kill him.”
“…”
Since she started killing 300 people from the beginning, it was a horse that could not be passed over as her antics.
“Um… Bari, how are you—”
“It could be.”
“That-“
“Because everyone wants to talk.”
“Me”
“I think you can feel some discomfort when the words are interrupted.”
“….”
“….”
As he took the form of opening his mouth, Bari opened his mouth right away.
I shut her mouth and she shut hers too.
“… I get it. I want to hit you.”
Barry smiled.
When I went to the city to buy some simple food and came back, it was early evening and the red sunset was seeping through the clear sky here and there.
“Load.”
“Yes.”
She hesitated slightly as she sat on a bench in the spacious playground.
“You also… That….”
The one who increases his words without answering.
Bari’s eyes widened slightly at this very rare appearance.
“Are you feeling bad?”
“… Are you talking about stopping?”
The corner of Bari’s mouth drew a slight arc.
His nodding face was somehow cute.
“I don’t feel bad about what Sihwan-nim is doing.”
“Really?”
“I am Sihwan-nim’s AI. However….”
His gaze fell on her lips, which were blurry.
“If there is someone other than Sihwan-sama like that… It will be quite unpleasant.”
“I see.”
Shihwan nodded his head.
“What are you doing? Sit down. I need to eat.”
“Yes.”
You don’t have to eat it, but she dared to buy her share.
“The food at the inn was so-so, how about this?”
Skewers and fries you can buy by cooper at the market.
There were also foods cooked with intestines, such as sundae.
Of course, I don’t know what kind of animal it is. Even if you know the name, you don’t know what it is.
“Sihwan.”
“Why?”
As he was about to finish by commenting that this was so-so, Bari opened his mouth.
“Sihwan-nim… Do you think I can feel something?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“You asked if I was in a bad mood.”
“Yes.”
“Normally… I don’t ask AI questions like that. Even the creators, humans, are just treated as machines.”
“Right. It’s a machine.”
“By the way, Sihwan-nim asks me how I feel. Do you think I can feel that?”
“There is nothing you can’t do.”
“But-“
“You are stupid.”
“Yes?”
Sihwan grabbed both of her cheeks as she looked back.
“What?!”
“Looking at your expression, you look like an idiot.”
“Ba, no fool! No matter how much performance has declined, it is incomparable to the previous creature—”
Cook.
Sihwan pressed her nose with the tip of her finger.
“Look how hot it is.”
“….”
“Seeing this from the side, how can you think that there will be no emotion, no feeling? I find it more interesting.”
“… A simple algorithmic response… Don’t you think so?”
“I don’t know. I am not interested.”
“No….”
“In the first place, AI was modeled after the human brain?”
“… Early models were like that.”
“Then it is the same.”
Sihwan pointed at both her head and his own, twirling her index finger.
“Either this or that.”
“….”
“So don’t make it unnecessarily complicated. You are just my AI. Just think about it.”
“… Yes.”
She turned her head in front of her and dropped it.
And then,
“I… Sir Sihwan.”
“Why? Are you saying something weird again?”
“Not that….”
“?”
She turned her head again and said with a serious face.
“Shihwan-nim’s head and mine have different performance.”
“….”
“A lot.”
“….”
“Heaven and Earth.”
“….”

“You were right. Quite cheeky. Knowing and not knowing, it’s a problem from before.”
After the A-level interview, Ha Yeon-seo called Yuina and said that.
The words were out of context, but it wasn’t difficult to understand.
“He is a fundamentally clueless bastard.”
“Okay… I think so.”
Sihwan Ryu.
He is the most talked about person in the academy at the moment.
Others even hinted at suspicions that some kind of human being passed the test early with an A grade, and that money was exchanged behind it.
“What would you like to do?”
“I heard you already lent me 30 gold.”
“That’s 30 gold, you don’t have to take it.”
Yeon-seo quietly put the coffee in her mouth her.
“Do you want him to go out?”
“Personally.”
“You were going to attach Luna.”
“That thought has not changed even now. Apart from his personality, he has superior strength to humans. Wouldn’t it be better to produce excellent species? That would be fine for Luna too… But teaching at the academy is a different story.”
“That’s right.”
Tok.
Putting down the coffee cup, I put the pod in front of his chest.
“As a human being, no matter how A-ranked you are, there is no choice but to have limits… The stats themselves weren’t that great. I gave it an A because of the doll.”
“It is definitely a strange thing. It is on a different level from other golems or things that have egos.”
“Right? You want to have I’m also curious… Anyway, I passed the test because of that doll, so in fact, as long as that doll remains, I don’t care what happens to humans. Rather, it’s comfortable without it. Such a cheeky thing.”
But that is currently impossible.
As is the case with normal golems, the doll named Bari only listens to the orders of its owner, Sihwan.
And that’s not all. He regards living beings other than him and himself as small creatures. The expression itself when 『Noblesse』 Looks at a human being.
There’s no way she would be left without her troubles her.
“Ha…Even if it’s not like that… Those who have duly received A grade are admitted to the academy without exams. This is the history of this place. It’s a rule gotta keep no matter how you feel.”
I came to that conclusion even though I was reluctant.
“Ah, come to think of it… Don’t you want to see it?”
“… What do you mean?”
“I wonder how well that doll will fight. There’s a special class for a month, so make a plan.”
“Are you saying to go on an expedition?”
“He… With the kids who just came in? Then what do you do when something goes wrong? There’s also that incident… Don’t do that, but there’s a ranking order or something like that.”
“It’s not even a guild, are you already doing that?”
“It’s better to do it in advance.”
Yuina, who thought for a moment, nodded as if she understood.
“All right. Then we will do that.”
