Chapter 203 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
Nefty, who received the list of classes to be taken by Eugene by taking advantage of the fact that the detailed departments are the same as he wanted, exclaims that he is amazed.
“Well, unlike martial arts or magic, which have various schools and schools, you feel like you have to develop your powers on your own anyway, right? That’s why the number of lectures is smaller than other departments in the first place.”
Even though it was their first time meeting today, most of the lectures he had in mind overlapped with the list of lectures Eugene gave him.
When Nefty expressed her amazement at that fact, Eugene offered up an excuse that made sense.
… Of course, this is just a plausible excuse, and in reality it was for a different reason.
‘In the first place, there are only three heroines who use powers, including the princess, the idol, and the target person.’
Out of a total of 8 main heroines and sub-heroines, there are 7 heroines excluding Yeonhwa, a Heavenly Demon who is not active in the academy.
Among these, there were three heroines who wielded powers other than martial arts or magic, including the idol Nefty, the princess, and the grand princess.
And Eugene knows what kind of lectures these three power users are taking.
Therefore, it was natural that the courses Eugene chose to take as a power user overlapped with the courses taken by these three heroines.
‘Exactly, I would say that, excluding the princess, I only overlap with Daesangin, who is in the same grade as me, and the idol side.’
If she had been the protagonist, the lectures would have overlapped only with the princess, who was the main heroine, and there would have been no lectures overlapped with the idols and subjects who were in the position of juniors.
However, since Eugene entered the school in the same grade as Nefty and Baekgeumgang, and not as a second-grader, it was inevitable that her lectures would overlap a lot.
‘Right now, the opportunities distributed within the second-year lecture classes are concentrated in the lectures that heroines take.’
Of course, among the Academy’s lectures, it was the one in which the main character attended the class as a student.
In other words, based on Eugene, second-year lectures are the lectures with the most experience.
In comparison, the number of sub-heroines distributed in the current first-year class was quite small, with one not being enrolled at all and only three being enrolled.
However, Eugene is not in a position to listen to the second year’s lectures, so although she will have Genos do her best to resolve the problems that exist in those lectures, she cannot secure them herself.
As such, it was necessary to properly handle even first-year lectures, which had an tiny number of lectures compared to second-year lectures.
And as I said, the talents that exist in the lectures are inevitably distributed among the lectures taken by heroines.
If a misfortune appears in a lecture that the heroines did not attend, can’t we give the heroines who need to correct the misbehavior the possibility of correcting the misbehavior?
In that sense, it was natural that Eugene, who had to secure even the slightest opportunity in the lecture, overlapped in many areas with the sub-heroine Nefty.
“Hmm…, In this case, wouldn’t it be okay if I just listened to the lectures I was planning to take?”
Anyway, for the same reason, Nefty found it fascinating that most of the lectures she was planning to take overlapped with the lectures Eugene was planning to take.
At the same time, he was planning on pretending like nothing had happened and listening to the advice, but when there was so much overlap, he responded that it wouldn’t matter if he just went ahead with the plan.
“What specifically is the course you will be taking?”
This time, Eugene was asking about the lectures Nefty would take.
As I said, Eugene had completed the original idol route 100%, so he had a perfect understanding of what classes Nefty usually took during his freshman year.
However, since he cannot reveal that fact to Nefty, he decides to check Nefty’s lectures as well, taking advantage of the fact that he told her about the classes he was taking.
“Eujin showed me the list first, so it’s not difficult for me to tell you my course registration list.”
And just as Eugene had planned, Nefty, without much caution, informed Eugene of the list of classes she planned to take.
Of course, Eugene knew the entire list, but nevertheless, there was his own reason for hearing the list of lectures directly from Nefty in this way.
“Hmm… “If I had to give you advice, I would recommend canceling this lecture and taking another one.”
“Why? As for these two lectures, as far as I know, the professors are famous power users.”
This was to remove options that could be called landmines among the course registration items that Nefty would enroll in if the main character did not interfere.
Nefty, who had initially said that she would listen to Eugene’s advice, did not react negatively to his advice, but asked the reason as if she was puzzled.
“These two professors are nobles. They are not high-ranking nobles, but they have the rank of viscount. And because of that influence, the people who usually take this course are power users from noble families.”
Of course, it wasn’t that commoners didn’t go to lectures either.
However, since the professor is from an aristocratic background, it is also a course in which differential treatment naturally occurs between commoner and aristocratic students.
“Especially if you are the daughter of the Marquis Wilhelm I know, these two lectures are mandatory, right?”
“Keu…”
Nefty reacted with an expression uncharacteristic of an idol when Eugene’s explanation mentioned her bad relationship that had continued since her entrance exam.
“Do you even know that?”
Although Nefty understood why Eugene was giving her this advice, she also expressed her curiosity that Eugene knew what kind of lectures the daughter of the Marquis Wilhelm would take.
“Even if I was exiled, I was also the eldest son of a former grand duke. “It’s an information network between nobles.”
In response to Nefty’s doubts, Eugene told an obvious lie.
It wasn’t even Stral Zenon in the first place, and since he had once again cut off ties with the Grand Duchy of Zenon, he didn’t even have a noble information network.
However, since I can’t explain that I know about the Marquis Wilhelm’s daughter and Nefty through the original work, I have to tell an appropriate lie.
“She doesn’t even have to go to the grand duchy, and she is also a high-ranking noblewoman?”
In that situation, Yeonhwa, who was listening next to Nefty and Eugene’s conversation with an expression of displeasure, intervenes.
Yujin spoke while laughing at Yeonhwa’s remark, which had no particular meaning and seemed to be a little annoying.
“Yeonmae only talks about being a high-ranking noble, but honestly, it’s okay to say she’s a noble.”
In fact, it would be correct to say that the Count of Clécia was a succession title created for one Yeonhwa rather than a noble family.
In that sense, no matter how high-ranking nobles are, there is no connection between nobles, so there is no way for there to be an information network that could provide information between nobles.
“… ?”
Of course, Nefty, who didn’t know that fact, couldn’t understand Yeonhwa and Eugene’s conversation, so she tilted her head and just said it was okay and moved on.
It was complicated and could have felt like too much digging to raise questions. So, for now, rather than being curious, I decided to gratefully use the advice Eugene gave me.
“No matter what, if Eugene’s advice is true, it would definitely be better not to take these two lectures. “It’s a lecture I was secretly looking forward to, but I don’t want to get involved with that strange person.”
In fact, in the original work, if the player did not intervene as the main character in advance to stop it, Nefty clashed violently with the daughter of Marquis Wilhelm whenever she listened to the lecture.
In fact, even if it was a conflict, it was a structure in which Nefty was one-sidedly harassed by the daughter of the Marquis Wilhelm, the main villain of the first semester of the second year of the idol route.
Nefty also tried to respond in some way by saying that he was a famous idol in his own way, but his opponent was the successor of the Marquis.
Even among the marquis, she was the daughter of the Marquis Hilberm, who, like the Grand Duke Zeno, had the greatest power and political position and took on the role of leader among the five marquis.
In short, no matter how much Nefty is an idol whose fame extends abroad, she is an opponent who is bound to be pushed out of position within the empire.
It was nearly impossible for her to stand up to the main villain alone, as she was so inferior in terms of the force and power she could actually wield.
‘In fact, in the original work, if the main character does not interfere, he suffers all kinds of humiliation.’
Although she was better off because she didn’t do anything outright because she was inside the academy, she was the daughter of the Marquis Wilhelm who was mentally harassing Nefty as if she wanted to take her place.
Therefore, it is better for Nefty to avoid lectures that require face-to-face contact with the person in question.
“Then, can I get a recommendation for a course to take instead of these two?”
And although it was only a brief encounter during the entrance exam and the entrance ceremony, Nefty, who had come to treat the Marquis Wilhelm’s daughter like a piece of shit she wanted to avoid, also obediently accepted Eugene’s advice.
Rather, she felt grateful to Eugene for preventing her from going through hell, which could have been hell if she had made a mistake by telling her what she didn’t know.
For that reason, Nefty, who became even more wary of Eugene, showed trust in him as a power user of a higher level than herself and asked him for advice again…
“Just listen to any lecture, girl. “Don’t hold on to someone else’s bad husband.”
Yeonhwa, who was watching the scene, opened her mouth, showing that she did not consider a woman dependent on a man.
“It’s not particularly worn out, so it’s okay, right?”
And despite Yeonhwa’s remarks, Nepetit shamelessly responds by putting a plate on her face like an idol.
“My patience is wearing out. “It’s especially advice, and Nenyeon’s intention is to gain an excuse to take more lectures like commerce.”
Since he was the incarnation of Mara Pasun, the Heavenly Demon could be said to be an obstacle to reaching a higher state through patience in the first place.
That’s why Yeonhwa, who doesn’t have much patience to begin with, responds with the meaning that even that thin patience is slowly running out.
“… Well, this is the first friend I made since I started working at the academy, so we can take some of the same lectures.”
Nefty, who could not deny Yeonhwa’s plan that Yeonhwa had revealed to him, slightly averted her gaze and spoke, making Yeonhwa look astonished.
“Friend? Who are you talking about? “My husband and four years?”
“You’re a friend, right?”
In response to Yeonhwa’s reaction, Nefty asked Eugene with anticipation, perhaps thinking that Eugene, her partner, would just have to give a definite answer…
“Uh…”
Eugene looks embarrassed because it was difficult for him to accept a friend request from a girl much younger than him.
In addition, if it were said that it was her friend, there was a high possibility that her offended wife would take out her hurt feelings on her partner, Nefty.
Above all, of course, Eugene was on the side of Yeonhwa, her wife, so she couldn’t answer that she was her friend.
“Friend…, Isn’t it… ?”
Nefty was a little upset by Eugene’s reaction, so she asked again…
“Your acting skills are top-notch.”
“They’re not the best idols on the continent for nothing.”
In the first place, Yeonhwa and Yujin saw at a glance that the crying expression itself was Nepetit’s ploy to draw out Eugene’s sympathy and get him to answer that she was her friend.
“… Chet, you two are quick to notice.”
