I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

However, Sarvan answered the question with a grave expression.

“My mother works at the magic tower, and my father runs a small shop.”

The eyes of the students grew colder.

“Keuk… … . Do you run a corner store?”

“Ah, no matter how much, I guess I enrolled because I was able to pay for the academy’s tuition.”

“Right, how are you going to pay for the academy with the money you make at the hole-in-the-wall shop?”

“Won’t a part of the tuition fee be waived if a commoner enters class A?”

“Ah, that too. Still, my mother is working at the Mage Tower… … .”

“Well, he must be the one who cleans the tower.”

“Keukkeu, you are a very respectable person.”

A few students giggled and started to gossip about Sarvan.

Sarvan looked at the professor with an expressionless face, as if he hadn’t heard the story, or if he did, he pretended not to have heard it.

On the other hand, in my seat, I could hear their stories clearly.

My face contorted at the content of their conversations about cursing their parents.

The fact that there is no such thing as a nobleman in a job was not accepted in this world. There is even an aristocratic status system.

but… … .

‘They’re dirty talkers.’

To be honest, I never thought I would curse at my parents.

Of course, people swearing at their parents online around the globe were common.

However, parents who work hard to raise their children deserve respect. How can you not respect the way he cares for his children?

It wasn’t until I became an adult that I realized, albeit belatedly, how much grace I owed to my parents.

I ended my life without being able to properly repay the favor to such parents.

“… … sh*t.”

I stopped swearing at the guilt that started to rush in.

Of course, in a small voice that people around you can’t hear.

Episode 36

36. Entrance Ceremony (2)

“to the next… … . Attendance number 14, Kayneth.”

The whispering sounds of the students’ conversations became quiet in an instant.

After tidying up my messy hair, I got up right away.

“My name is Kayneth H Spayone… … . No, it’s Kayneth L Arden. Yesterday, I was awarded a title by the imperial family and became independent from the Spey One family. i look forward to.”

Everyone gulped at my self-introduction.

and… … .

“Gee, I have a question!”

Which girl flashes! I raised my hand.

“Yes, please.”

At my reply, she got up from her seat.

“I heard that you broke up with the daughter of the Rose family… … . Is it true?”

The story has already reached the ears of freshmen.

I let out a small sigh and nodded.

“Yes, it happened.”

“I have a question too! I heard that you certainly did not receive the Blessing of Mana, but how did you reach the level of the 4th Circle?”

It feels like a press conference or something.

I explained to them step by step. It is said that after acquiring mana, he secretly received special education from the Spey One family.

In fact, as soon as Grans returned to her hometown, she started spreading the rumor throughout the empire.

A boy named Kayneth H Spey One is a special being hidden from the Spey One family.

‘Tsk, I don’t like it, but… … . I can’t help it.’

The situation where all my efforts became Grans’s. I was definitely in a bad mood.

Of course, because I had agreed with Grannes in advance, I conveyed the rumors to the students without making a single mistake.

“then… … Are you completely independent of the Spey One family? The issue of the succession of the Count Spey One… … .”

“That part is up to the head of the family to decide. And as long as I have inherited the blood of the Speywon family, the Ardennes family will maintain friendly relations with the Speywon family and support the imperial family.”

The children looked surprised at my answer.

And someone gulped.

A 13-year-old boy who proudly proclaims that he will support the imperial family with his chest open… … There are probably few of them in this academy.

Even Professor Julius was bruised for a moment.

Julius confirmed that all the rumors flowing in the past were true.

‘Kaynes L Arden… … . It was true that he was an aide to His Highness, the Third Prince.’

Julius called the attention of the students with a single clap.

Damn!

“… … Well, I’ll wrap up Kayneth’s self-introduction like this. Next, attendance number 15, Mr. Ardeal. Please introduce yourself.”

From noble mtl dot com

“All right. but… … It’s quite burdensome to introduce myself next to Kayneth.”

The students around him laughed bitterly and nodded their heads in agreement.

“First of all, my name is Ardeal T Sefilod. and… … .”

A handsome boy with blue hair and ultramarine blue eyes.

He turned his head towards me and smiled brightly.

Is it a smile that feels fresh?

“I was very interested in the fact that there is a genius who can use 4th circle magic among my peers. so… … I hope to go along well. Mr. Keynes.”

“… … .”

There was a slight chill in his smile.

‘More than that… … .’

I never thought that the eldest son of the Sephiroth family would attend lectures with me.

I had researched the major families of the Labadian Empire in advance.

And among the major families, the Marquis of Sephiroth has a deep history.

Compared to Spey One, it may certainly look colorless. However, the Sephiroth family was regarded as one of the strongest families in terms of their military and economic power, as well as their reputation.

‘… … To think that the heir of the Sephiroth family would take an interest in him. Should I call this an honor?’

I smiled and crossed my legs. And while crossing our arms, we listened carefully to the other children’s self-introductions.

In particular, the family names of the students were stored deep in their heads.

“Ah, I have a question too.”

I laid the foundation for forming intimacy by asking questions one by one to the students who were introducing themselves.

Just the fact that they are in the same class will be of great help in forming a network.

Besides, to me, he is always the third prince. Ryard’s name will follow… … .

“… … That is all.”

Student number 32 sat down.

Julius nodded with a small smile.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work. So, I’ll have to do it here today. First, take time to talk to each other. And if the bell rings, you may leave the classroom, but until then, please rest in the classroom.”

After the students answered ‘Yes!’ to the professor’s instruction, they immediately began to form their own groups.

“Hey, nice to meet you. My name is Velod… … .”

Boys and girls all around me.

I never thought you would come to me first.

I ended up forming a group while talking with them.

And Sarvan, who didn’t belong to any group, quietly opened his textbook, but I looked away from him.

“S, is the Spayone family lord at peace? My father received great help from Count Spayone the other day… … .”

“I heard that the owner of Ardennes is Kayneth. This time with our Ridas Company… … .”

As the Arden Company moved its headquarters to the Arden family’s estate, the name of Kayneth H Spay One became a celebrity in the empire in an instant.

the world’s media. In other words, the media called newspapers spread the news throughout the empire.

The attention of the media was a bit of a headache, but when the news about me was published, the competitors who were wary of Ardennes quickly fell away.

It was because the situation was staged as if the Spayone Company was standing tall behind the Ardennes Company.

Well, I’ll have to take it kindly for that part.

“This scent… … . You used the perfume sold by our store. All I can say is that I am really happy. There are still many areas where we are lacking, but please take good care of our Ardennes store in the future.”

“yes yes. Of course. The quality of cosmetics and perfumes of the Ardennes Company is very famous in this empire.”

I dealt with the female students with a sales smile.

Because these are customers who spend a lot in our store.

The daughters of counts and marquesses lightly spent dozens of silver coins a month. Even young ladies who invested dozens of gold coins just to buy cosmetics were sometimes found.

‘… … Sometimes that would include serine.’

The eldest daughter of the SpayWon family, Serene H SPAYWON.

Her extravagance was truly appalling.

Count Spaywon was showing a fairly generous appearance to his children except for me, and threw dozens of gold coins to his children every month in the name of living expenses.

‘Where are the parents in the world who hand over hundreds of millions of won for a month’s living expenses?’

However, if you think about the wealth of the Spay One family, you can realize that hundreds of millions of won in cash is not even close to their fingernails.

‘Well, even to me who was called incompetent, they gave me 10 gold coins every month… … .’

I made connections with my classmates in the name of ‘friends’.

Of course, there won’t be any big problems if you move alone like a lofty wolf. However, networking was also very important in life at this academy.

Besides, someday they will be responsible for the future of the Rabadian Empire.

If so, it would be to my advantage to make a relationship in advance.

‘Rather than that, that guy does well in this atmosphere… … .’

While having a conversation with my peers, I glanced at Sarvan.

A noisy classroom. Even in the middle of it, I was slightly admiring the way he focused on the textbook in silence.

‘I’ll have to talk to you later.’

I got up right away when I heard the bell announcing lunch.

Five or six students following me.

They took the maid and butler waiting at the main entrance of the Faculty of Magic building to the cafeteria.

In the dining room, as usual, there was a separation between nobles and commoners, and we took our seats at a table full of freshmen.

“I’ll ask for set 17.”

“All right.”

The man in the butler’s uniform immediately left his seat as soon as he received the order.

In order to fit in with the group, you have to show that kind of behavior. For that reason, I ordered a course meal for 12 silver coins.

Currently, the center of this group is me and Ardeal.

but… … .

“Hoo~? The more I hear about Kayneth, the more I am amazed.”

Ardeal, the center of the group, showed interest in me and bombarded me with questions, but did not pay much attention to the students around him.

The female students who were seated looked at me and Ardelal in turn, then blushed slightly.

I let out a small sigh as I suffered internally at the sight of them.

‘… … He must be thinking useless thoughts.’

I’m sorry for them, but I’m a man who loves the opposite s*x.

Since I have no intention of having a relationship with Ardeal, who is of the same s*x, as more than a friend, I wanted to beg you to put aside the delusions that I am spreading right now.

And after a while, when the food prepared by the servants was prepared on the table, we began a leisurely lunch while observing the dining etiquette of aristocrats.

daughter.

“Mmm, it definitely tastes good. I was a little underestimated because it was a cafeteria… … .”

Everyone nodded in unison at the girl’s remark.

And let’s finish eating.

“There is an entrance ceremony at 1:00, so let’s move quickly.”

said Ardeal, pointing a finger at the tables around him.

Freshmen who finished eating early for the entrance ceremony.

After finishing our meal as Ardeal said, we got up from our seats and immediately moved towards the main auditorium.

While we were moving to the auditorium, Sarvan stepped in front of us.

The girls around him pointed their fingers at him and whispered in low voices.

“That commoner… … . I am still alone.”

“… … I don’t want to hang out with him if possible. I heard that commoners have a savage and tyrannical character because they are not properly educated.”

“Oh, I’m afraid… … .”

I laughed bitterly at their conversation.

Do all commoners really have savage and tyrannical personalities?

Due to the extreme generalization, I had no choice but to downgrade my perception of them.

‘but… … .’

They also probably didn’t know anything about commoners at first.

I just accepted and understood the stories I had heard from my parents or people around me since childhood.

It’s hard to criticize them unconditionally. It’s purely a matter of the environment in which you grew up.

And one of them turned to me.

“What do you think, Kayneth?”

A girl with red hair who still sticks the word ‘nim’ towards me. With cat-type eyes, she resembles a villain character you’ve seen a few times in webtoons.

Of course, this thought would be disrespectful to her.
