Chapter 63 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
Also, today was the day of the academy entrance exam, as scheduled by Eugene Island.
The Orbital Empire’s Orbital Academy is one of the three major public educational institutions on the continent.
In other words, on this day, various talented people from all over the vast empire come to the capital with dreams.
Therefore, it was inevitable that there would be a larger crowd than usual, and the system treated today, the day of the academy entrance exam, as a festival.
“But even considering that, isn’t this too much?”
However, as civilization developed, the population increased rapidly, and the crowds, even on the day of the academy entrance exam, were too large for Yeonhwa to accept, and she seemed a little disgusted.
“Are you sure you don’t like places with a lot of people?”
“That’s not true… “Honestly, if there are this many, it feels a little disgusting.”
From Yeonhwa’s point of view, it was not hard to understand why it was disgusting to see people who were nothing more than ants crowded around.
However, in order to achieve her goal, Eugene has to cross that disgusting crowd, so he asks her if he will follow her with his gaze.
She returned her gaze and said that of course she would follow him. As Yeon-hwa walked ahead of her, she asked if Yu-jin knew where the road was and followed her.

“By the way, I’m sure you’ve been given permission to take the entrance exam? “You must have been a criminal first?”
“It’s not that I am a criminal, but this possessed body is a criminal. Well, now I feel like it’s different.”
About 10 minutes after Eugene and Yeonhwa enter the system, the two walk towards the exam center where the academy entrance exam is held.
Eugene had found out the location in advance, so she skillfully walked along her path while Eugene and Yeonhwa were having a conversation.
“Anyway, isn’t this the story of a criminal? “They did a good job helping him pass the entrance exam, as did the Academy guys.”
“Criminal, you say you are a criminal, but you are not a criminal? “He has a criminal record.”
And as expected, as if she was displeased with Eugene entering the academy, Yujin answered Yeonhwa, who criticized her about that.
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“It’s different. “How do you compare a criminal who has committed a crime and not yet been caught to a person with a criminal record who has committed a crime, been caught, punished, and released?”
Being released after being punished could be said to be an official declaration that the person would not commit the crime from then on.
It is a declaration of the feeling that since I have already been punished for a sin I have committed, I will forgive that sin.
Of course, despite this, people with criminal backgrounds here in Orbital World and Hyundai avoid it.
Nevertheless, as it was ‘officially’ said that it would no longer discuss the crime, a large public organization such as the Academy had no choice but to follow this rule.
In other words, it is impossible to officially impose any further penalties on Stral, who has already been punished by being stripped of his noble rank and expelled from the Academy.
“Colluding with the Demon Lord’s army was a serious crime that betrayed humanity, but it was only the size of an ant’s snot. “The deprivation of nobility was judged to be sufficient as it was an enormous punishment.”
As a result, Stral was not officially a criminal. He just has a criminal background.
Therefore, unless you are in the administrative department where you were expelled, you can apply for readmission to the remaining four departments, the combat department, magic department, arts department, and philosophy department.
“Tsk, that’s a very generous measure.”
“First of all, Orbital Academy faithfully maintains the concept of being open to anyone who wants to learn.”
In response to Eugene’s explanation, Yeonhwa is not convinced that Eugene can take the entrance exam for her academy.
“By the way, you already had the nuance that you didn’t want me to enter the academy, so you didn’t follow me to interfere with the entrance exam, right?”
“Is that possible? “It’s definitely not pleasant, but I’m not so mean as to disturb you like that.”
“… “It seems like you took to heart what I said earlier about you being a little girl.”
Eugene remembers using the word “Korom,” Which Yeonhwa doesn’t know, and honestly explaining its meaning when Yeonhwa interrogates him. Then, he remembers being beaten to the point of death by a rain dance that evening.
“Anyway, the reason I followed you today was just a whim, a whim. … “I just wanted to take this opportunity to look at the system with you.”
In that sense, Eugene was unknowingly answering Yeonhwa’s question about whether there was quite a bit of time left until the entrance exam began.
“Uh… “Obviously, thanks to someone last night, I couldn’t sleep, so I came out early and stayed for 3 hours.”
The site of Orbital Academy is so large that it can almost be said to be a small city within an island.
Since the site was nicknamed Academy City, it was bound to take some time to arrive at the entrance examination center.
However, even taking that into account, Yeonhwa suggested with a grin because she came to the island early enough to have a few hours to leisurely wander around.
“In that case, let’s kill time by going around the system together with the principal. “This is an order.”
“Yes… ?”
Yeonhwa’s unexpected proposal could this be a date request? A question arose in Eugene’s mind.
But soon, without listening to his answer, Yeonhwa spontaneously says, ‘That looks delicious!’ And rushes into what appears to be a street vendor, where she shouts, ‘You pay!’
Looking at that, the date is a mess, this is like a wallet, right? It is said that Eugene, who remembered her thoughts, began to move after her, with her answer, “Nene,” She said, sighing.
“Hmm… , That’s amazing, is this sweet stuff inside honey?”
“I didn’t know that I could teleport to another world and eat hotteok.”
“Ho… , Look at this. “You’re doing something quite interesting.”
“This… , Street performance? Plus a guitar and drums? Wow, there’s even a piano? “It has everything to do with a modern setting.”
“Oh! This dress is pretty! Buy me one!”
“Why are you taking the blame as if it’s natural? … “I will buy it for you.”
After that, Eugene and Yeonhwa continue to enjoy the shops and attractions that can be seen here and there on the road leading to the academy premises.
As a result, Eugene, who was naturally enjoying it, was thinking, ‘Wow, isn’t this a real date?’
“Hmm? If you go, go to the store? It worked out just fine. “You are using this.”
“Mask? “Why the mask?”
Yeon-hwa, who was walking down the street looking around, suddenly throws Eugene a meaningless mask that was on display at a store selling miscellaneous goods and starts talking.
Eugene looked puzzled as he received the plain mask that Yeonhwa suddenly threw at him, which was literally pure white and had no special decorations.
“Tsk, men and women’s view of chastity has been reversed. Does that mean we are also dull about these things? “Can’t you feel the eyes of girls around you looking at you?”
“The gaze? I felt it…”
Certainly, as Yeonhwa pointed out, Eugene could always feel the gaze of people around him as he walked around the island.
However, since life was life on Earth, Eugene did not care about how people around him viewed him.
Therefore, as was his habit on Earth, he somehow felt more eyes on him than when he was on Earth, but he was the one who paid no attention.
“Just by looking at it, doesn’t it look like they are looking at you like they are going to eat you somehow? “I’m telling you to cover up that unnecessarily handsome face because it’s uncomfortable to go around with him.”
“… Ah!”
Eugene belatedly looked around and realized why he was exposed to more eyes than when he was on Earth.
Then he was able to observe many women around him who was hastily averting their eyes from his gaze.
There is even a situation where a woman is staring blankly at Eugene and even getting scolded by her boyfriend, even though there is someone next to her who is supposed to be her boyfriend.
“Now that I think about it, this is a world where men and women are reversed…”
In addition, Stral Zenon was a villainess, equivalent to Lopan’s villainess.
And isn’t it the rule that the villainess in the original drama is pretty, regardless of her position as a villain?
In other words, the twist is that the villain, Yeongsik Stral, is a handsome guy as far as his looks go.
It’s not a joke, but if it weren’t for his inferiority complex, it wouldn’t be surprising if he seduced several women and straddled them just based on his looks.
Eugene was also quite handsome when he was on Earth. In the first place, he experienced a complete metamorphosis, so there is no way he could be bad.
However, even Eugene’s appearance was so handsome that he looked like a squid compared to Strahl.
In terms of beauty alone, her appearance was enough to form a rivalry with the main character, who is said to have the ability to look good.
If the genders had not been reversed in the world where men and women are reversed, she would have been called a stunning beauty.
In addition to the unusual combination of black hair and green eyes, as well as his tall height, he now boasts a muscular body filled with fine muscles, so it was natural that women’s attention would be drawn to him.
On Earth, it felt like a beautiful woman with an amazing body was passing by on the side of the road.
What was strange was that, unlike the men in Orbital World, even the clothes he wore without much thought looked like clothes he had bought at a luxury store due to Stral’s appearance.
“If you understand, quickly put on a mask. I tried to tolerate it as much as possible, but it still got annoying. “Otherwise, do you just want to show off your boastful appearance until I can’t stand it anymore and start a bloody battle?”
“I’m showing off a body that wasn’t even mine to begin with, so I can use it for something else.”
In a world where men and women are reversed, it is much easier for a handsome man to attract the attention of the opposite sex than a pretty woman.
In a world where women are much more honest about their sexual desires, Yeonhwa was just as beautiful as Eugene in her stral form, but Eugene next to her was attracting the attention of the opposite sex more than she was.
However, as Eugene herself, she was not happy at all when she received attention from the opposite sex for her stral appearance rather than her own appearance.
Therefore, as Yeon-hwa said, Yu-jin puts on her face the mask she gave her, which only has holes for her eyes against a plain background.
“What? “Is this more comfortable than you think?”
“That’s right, it’s a mask made for that purpose.”
Yeonhwa explained that the mask Eugene wore was something that felt like cotton thread from this world.
In other words, if in the past on Earth a beautiful woman wore a cotton thread to cover her face to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, in this Orbital World, men wear this type of mask.
“In this world, the people causing the commotion are men, not women…? …”
“It’s a world full of horny women who jump at the sight of a good-looking man.”
Eugene once again realized that this was a world where men and women were reversed as he heard the sighs of women here and there as he put on his mask.
And in that way, Eugene, who unknowingly solved Stral’s appearance that attracts the attention of others, pays for her mask and goes around sightseeing here and there with Yeonhwa ever since.
“Oh, this outfit is nice. “How about trying it on?”
“It’s enough for clothes to be comfortable. “No, more than that, you don’t like tight-fitting clothes like that, do you?”
“Tsk, having tastes closer to women doesn’t help in this regard. After all, a man should know how to enjoy this level of exposure. Well, I like that the shopping time isn’t unnecessarily long.”
