57 – Scene 057# Student Oath

*

The auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held was already crowded with people.

Students with bright smiles and happy looking families.

There were also wizards taking pictures to commemorate this special day.

Photos decorated in large frames caught the attention of passers-by.

One of those people, Wendy, looked at the back of the man ahead and thought.

‘Yeah, the Count probably hates things like that… ?’

To be honest, I wanted to take a picture with Tristan.

She knew that a photo was a luxury, but Wendy secretly checked the price because she wanted to keep this moment in the form of a memory.

[100,000 kaels per sheet]

It was expensive.

No, but at that price… . It’s not like you can’t do it at all.

After Wendy became an exclusive maid, her salary also skyrocketed.

In the past, I would have easily given up just looking at the price, but now that her situation has improved, I have no regrets.

“Wendy.”

“Yeah, yeet?!”

Wendy was taken aback by the sudden call.

Tristan stopped and looked at her.

“Are there any problems?”

“Sorry, sorry… . Thinking for a moment… .”

“… follow me diligently The entrance ceremony will begin immediately.”

“Yes!”

Leaving only those words behind, Tristan turned around and walked back the way he had come.

At first glance, it was a cold act, but Wendy was not hurt at all.

Because behind Tristan’s nonchalant words and actions, there was a kindness that others wouldn’t know about.

Sure enough, his pace in the lead was slow enough for Wendy to follow.

That’s probably a secret that only Wendy knows in this world.

Wendy followed Tristan into the auditorium.

There were many people inside the auditorium.

As if the entrance ceremony was about to begin, people were sitting in chairs.

“You sit here and watch the entrance ceremony. I have work to do, so I will go.”

“Yeah… .”

I thought we were going to attend the entrance ceremony together, but Wendy was slightly disappointed.

Without knowing her heart, Tristan disappeared somewhere to do his job.

Looking at her back, Wendy thought.

-From the beginning, I cared about you.

“Ha ha… .”

Just thinking about the words she heard in the carriage made Wendy’s face heat up.

It was confusing.

At first, he thought Tristan hated him.

No matter how you look at it, there was no reason to like Wendy, a crybaby full of mistakes.

I only thought that making her the exclusive maid, who was a low-level person, was also intended to harass her and get her fired.

Clearly Tristan was such a person.

A genius of evil and a person with the worst personality who treats attendants as tools.

I thought everyone had a good reason for pointing their fingers together.

Wendy only knew that.

‘But the Count… .’

Tristan helped Wendy.

Being promoted to exclusive maid was just the beginning.

He allowed me to receive magic lessons from the sage Myohail.

He allowed me to receive martial arts instruction from Blanche, the knight of the duke’s escort.

When he found out that the blood of a warrior was flowing in her, he concealed the fact.

In addition, he allowed me to go to the best university in the empire.

That was not a courtesy a mere attendant deserved.

Wendy seemed to understand Tristan’s heart now.

That all the favors were given with her in mind.

No, it was more accurate that he was testing her.

10 years.

The specific number Tristan said was undoubtedly the time limit given to Wendy.

It is an order to become a woman worthy of him within 10 years.

‘Count. I’m late, but now I know… .’

Wendy clenched her fists.

Because I know that the road is never easy.

Right now, there were many attractive women around Tristan.

Bella-sama is the daughter of a duke and has a reputation as the most beautiful woman in the country.

The escort knight serving her, Mr. Blanche, also has such outstanding beauty that everyone passing by stares at her.

“Sniff… .”

Tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes.

Auditorium buzzing with people.

There, Wendy quietly bowed her head.

Can she, who is only a servant, dare to compete with them?

Could she, with her short legs and messy hair, get along with Tristan?

With that thought, Wendy’s heart felt like it was going downhill.

Negative emotions like suffocation.

What Wendy recalled in it was the words of the man she was in love with.

– I don’t keep a guy who doesn’t even have my heart around.

pounding.

– In 10 years, you will have grown into a better figure than anyone else.

pounding.

Those words were like magic.

Wendy had an unknown courage.

Wendy swallowed hot tears.

Then her heart was beating hotter than ever.

It was then.

“it’s okay… ?”

“Yes, yes?”

When Wendy looked up, the girl sitting next to her was watching her anxiously.

Is she also a freshman?

In a luxurious-looking robe, glasses and braided hair, he looked neat like an aristocrat.

“that is… . I feel like crying… .”

The girl with glasses held out a handkerchief to Wendy.

Wendy politely took it with both hands and wiped away her tears.

“Go, thank you… .”

“Oh, no. To be thanked for something like this… .”

The girl bowed her head as if she was shy.

And when Wendy was done wiping away her tears, she opened her mouth again.

“… Are you a freshman?”

“Yes.”

“Then, how about letting go of our words… ? I am also a freshman entering this school today.”

“I-I’m young… .”

“uh? How old are you?”

“I’m 12 years old… .”

As if surprised by those words, the girl raised her glasses and looked at Wendy.

“… Ho, are you by any chance a student enrolled as a special talent?”

“Yes? Yes…”

“I knew it… . I thought I was the youngest. I am also a special reporter!”

The glasses girl said while holding Wendy’s hand.

“I am Luna. 17 years old. What about that one?”

“I-I’m Wendy… .”

“okay… ! Wendy, please take care of me. If it’s okay, would you like to be our friend?”

“Yes, yes… ?!”

Wendy was taken aback by the sudden statement.

I didn’t say it, but Luna must be an aristocrat.

Her identity is different from Wendy’s.

“How can someone like me be Luna-sama’s friend… !”

“Ugh… . You don’t want to be friends with me, do you?”

“Yeah?!”

Luna gathered her knees and crouched down.

“Ugh… . i want to go home Someone like me came to the entrance ceremony for no reason, causing harm to others… .”

“Oh, I see! Chi, I’ll make you a friend!”

“really?!”

Luna hugged Wendy tightly.

“Huh?!”

“thanks! I was worried about how to survive in this school! I live thanks to Wendy! I’m not alone anymore Sobbing.”

Apparently Luna was a loner before entering university.

Wendy intended to pat Luna on the back until she calmed down.

However, a voice amplified by magic resounded in the hall.

“Let’s start the entrance ceremony for Meikahel University from now on! Please have a seat!”

At that, the students in the hall sat down, and the parents and their companions gathered in an orderly manner in the back.

After the auditorium became quiet for a while, the broadcast came out.

“Then, let’s start with the oath of the representative of admitted students! Representative of admitted students, Wendy, please come up to the podium!”

“Wendy? Eh?! no way?”

At those words, Luna was taken aback and looked at Wendy.

Wendy took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Luna’s expression was so surprised that it couldn’t be compared to before.

“I’ll be back… .”

Wendy walked to the podium, leaving Luna, who only opened her mouth.

The resolution had already been made.

Her steps were steady and her posture was not disturbed.

‘Count… . I won’t disappoint you anymore.’

Naturally, the eyes of the students around her were focused on her.

“what? Little?”

“cute… . Just like a rabbit.”

“I’m in my school uniform, but I’m a college student… ?”

Wendy naturally received that gaze and slowly went up to the podium.

When I remembered his face, my steps became lighter.

Wendy opened her mouth in front of a magic tool in the form of a stick that amplified her voice.

“Representative of admitted students, I, Wendy, swear to God right here.”

I just read the oath floating in front of me.

“I want to thank the God who gave me my abilities and talents… .”

But Wendy was so focused that she forgot that she didn’t stutter.

Her voice was clearer and clearer than ever.

To the extent that people in the seats stared at her as if possessed.

“… I solemnly swear to devote myself to the study and study of magic. Ideally, the representative of admitted students was Wendy.”

When Wendy looked up after taking the oath, silence fell in the auditorium.

No one thought that such a determined voice could come out of such a small body.

In terms of time, it’s a little over a minute.

Wendy’s oath had the power to captivate people in the auditorium.

Of course, there were side effects.

‘Go, I barely made it…’ .’

My legs were trembling as if I had never had the courage.

A cold sweat ran down her back.

It was the first time in my life that I spoke in front of so many people.

‘I… Well done… ?’

Unlike when she came up, Wendy came down from the stage hesitantly.

The constant gaze at her was unbearably burdensome.

Fortunately for Wendy, there was a voice guiding the next steps.

“Next, I would like to introduce the newly inaugurated Chairman of the Board as of today!”

Togak.

Could it be because Wendy just finished her oath?

In the silence of the auditorium, the sound of the footsteps could be heard loudly.

It was the sound of footsteps that Wendy was all too familiar with.

People who saw the man on the podium frowned.

Before long, the auditorium buzzed in unison.

The murmur grew from not only the new students in the chairs, but also the nobles standing in the back.

“Why is that human over there… .”

“what? tell them to get down quickly.”

“Oh. It’s Ruelbert… !”

As the auditorium grew louder and louder, only Wendy could clearly hear his voice.

“quiet.”

The man only muttered one word.

However, no one in the auditorium did not feel the anger that the man unleashed.

People’s mouths were shut all at once in blatant anger that they had no intention of hiding.

The man introduced himself in the auditorium where not even breathing could be heard.

“Tristan Ruelberta.”
