====================================
\n
January 1, 2030.
\n
Today is the entrance ceremony of Lister Imperial School.
\n
The four of us are admitted to S class as planned.
\n
It seems that everything in S class is different from other classes, and the 10 S class students sit facing the other students.
\n
The entrance ceremony is held only for the new students and some of the current students. The rest of the students are on vacation throughout the month of January.
\n
It seems that there is a rule that students are not allowed to go home as they please during the vacation period.
\n
It seems that students are not allowed to return home unless their safety are ensured by their side.
\n
They do not want to risk losing their best students after all.
\n
After Duke Regan's short speech, the first-year student representative began her speech.
\n
She seems to be a strong-willed girl with red hair. She is short despite her strong-willed look though.
\n
Without listening to Karen's various difficult greetings, I appraised her.
\n
\n
Name: Karen Lionel
Title: -
Status: Human race, second daughter of Duke Freswald.
Condition: Good
Age: 9 years old
Level: 24
HP: 28/28
MP: 282/282
Strength: 12
Agility: 16
Magic: 44
Dexterity: 16
Durability: 10
Luck: 1
Special Ability: Magic Eyes (LvMax)
Special Ability: Whip Technique (Lv0/B)
Special Ability: Fire Magic (Lv6/B)
\n
Equipment: Fire Spirit’s Wand (Salamander Rod)
Equipment: Fire Spirit’s Vestment (Salamander Robe)
\n
\n
She’s completely rear cannon.
\n
The most interesting thing is still the Magic Eyes.
\n
Duke Regan also has the Magic Eyes skill.
\n
When I appraise the Magic Eyes, I found the following.
\n
Magic Eyes: is a charm that enchants the opposite sex. The charmed person cannot disobey the orders of the charm-user. The duration of the effect is proportional to the magic power. Also, the distance between you and the target changes what you can command. It only works on those whose magic power is lower than the user. Can be used to do a minor appraisal. Consumes 100 MP.
\n
This is a very bad skill.
\n
The last time I saw Duke Regan's MP was down by 100 so I guess she was trying to charm me. ...activation condition is eye contact or something? But it didn’t get me. ......Oh right, Clairvoyance is a higher version of the Magic Eyes so it cancels out the effects of all Magic Eyes.
\n
If there’s such skill, everyone would have fought for Ike after all…*1
\n
After Karen's speech was over, the new student council president gave the final speech.
\n
As expected, it was Ike who came out.
\n
Ike has grown up a lot in the past three years.
\n
He is now over 170cm tall.
\n
"Nice to meet you. I am Ike Bryant, the student council president.”
\n
As Ike began to greet the new students, high-pitched voices began to leak out from many of the new students.
\n
"It’s Glenn, in the flesh" "So cool" "I'll talk to him later " "He said there's one party slot open at Red Lotus, so I'll try asking him later."
\n
Ike's greeting was simple.
\n
For us to make friends, and if there’s anything we don't understand, ask an upperclassman for help. If you have a problem, don't keep it to yourself but talk to someone about it. If you don't have someone to talk to, come to the student council.
\n
Something along those simple lines.
\n
Well, it is best to keep the greeting short and to the point, and Ike was able to do that.
\n
After all, it’s Ike.
\n
Just as he was about to close his talk, Ike suddenly said.
\n
"I am pleased to announce that the S class will be created this year. I will go to greet you all later, so please don't leave yet stay in the classroom."
\n
Ike said while looking at me. What a flexible this school.
\n
I'm not sure if it's because it's different from Japan or what. ......The entrance ceremony was over and we headed to the S class classroom. On the way to the classroom, Misha said
\n
"Glenn is so cool. I can't believe he's coming to say hi. It's a dream come true to be able to talk to him. Don’t you think so too, Clarice?"
\n
I waved to Clarice. Misha probably doesn't know that Ike is my brother.
\n
Clarice was also at a loss and only answered, "Uh-huh.”
\n
When I arrived at the classroom, I found that the S class’s room was so spacious that it felt like a waste for just 10 students.
\n
Karen, who gave the new student representative speech, and three others were already in the classroom, one of whom was Dominique, who had been beaten to a pulp by Clarice in the practical test.
\n
"Oh my, you four are in S class too? You don't look too strong though... it seems that the level of S class is low this year. I'll tell you one thing first, if you drag me down, I'll knock you down to A class in a heartbeat so please hang in there."
\n
Karen said to us in a very high-handed manner.
\n
In certain sense, it might be a talent to be able to say to this someone you meet for the first time.
\n
"Yes. I'll do my best, pleased to meet you.”
\n
And I bowed down. The other party is the daughter of the first duke so I have to try not to make any waves.
\n
Clarice, Ellie, and Misha, who saw me doing so, seemed unconvinced but since I bowed, they bowed as if they had no choice.
\n
Then a man near Karen walked toward us and stopped in front of Clarice.
\n
"Nice to meet you, my name is Baron Reinhardt. I would very much like to know your name. My first wife is Karen, but if you wish, I will allow you to be my mistress.”
\n
"My name is Clarice Lampard. I already have a fiancée, so I am sorry but you will have to find someone else.”
\n
Clarice hugged my right arm as she said that.
\n
"I see. How about you, then?”
\n
Baron said as he looked at Ellie, and Ellie, undauntedly, hugged me in the opposite arm.
\n
Baron glared at me in frustration and turned back to Karen.
\n
No, isn't this disrespectful to Misha? How can you not call out to Misha only...
\n
No, in the first place, how can you pick on someone in front of your own fiancée? And she's the daughter of the first duke, you know?
\n
I don't think that's a good idea, no matter how much the odds are stacked with Clarice...
\n
I appraised the man named Baron.
\n
I think Baron was called the hero of the north.
\n
\n
Name: Baron Reinhardt
Title: -
Status: Human race, eldest son of Count Reinhardt.
Condition: Good
Age: 9 years old
Level: 22
HP: 48/48
MP: 201/201

\n
Equipment: Earth Spirit’s Sword (Gnome Sword)

Equipment: Earth Spirit’s Armor (Gnome Armor)
\n
\n
Ooh. He’s pretty strong, to be honest.
\n
Above all, it's amazing that he can use all four major magics. I've never seen anyone else do that before.
\n
And like Karen, his equipment is amazing. All of them are B-rank.
\n
When I was appraising him, I found the following.
\n
Status: Charmed
\n
His status became like that. Baron who was trying to pick up on Clarice fell under charm without a moment’s delay…
\n
With this, I was able to gather Karen, Baron, and Dominic’s faces and abilities.
\n
I was about to appraise one more the other person when I heard a high-pitched voice coming from outside the classroom.
\n
It was Ike who came with the high-pitched voice.
\n
Karen was quick to respond.
\n
"Sir Glenn, thank you for being here for me. I am the one who had just given a speech as the representative of the new students my name is Karen Lionel, second daughter of Duke Freswald. Are you inviting me to a party? In that case, may my second husband, Baron join in? Of course, my first husband is Sir Glenn.”
\n
Ike was bewildered by Karen's aggressive attack.
\n
Is this how people in this world are, both men and women?
\n
"Uh, uhh, I already have someone as my first wife so I'm fine. There's a slot open for a party too but we're not looking for anyone. Let's talk again next time I have time.”
\n
After saying so, Ike came to us this time.
\n
Clarice was the first to speak a little louder.
\n
"Brother-in-law, it's been a while. You are carrying yourself much more maturely now I almost mistook you as someone else.”
\n
"Ah, Clarice, it's been a long time. Clarice is as beautiful as ever, and I envy you, Mars.”
\n
"......Long time no see……”
\n
"Yeah, I've been away for a long time. I'm relieved to see Ellie is still the same."
\n
The conversation between Ike, Clarice, and Ellie surprised the four of them, including Misha.
\n
"I'm glad to see you're doing well, brother Ike. It's great to see that you're doing well, being the student council president in your fourth year is as expected from you.”
\n
"Well, just this year. Next year, Mars, you will be the student council president. After all, there is no one stronger than me at this school. That's why I’m sure you'll be the strongest in this school. I'm here today to recruit you to the student council.”
\n
"Eh...no, that indeed is……"
\n
Ike has been enjoying his school life so much that he has forgotten my character? I'm trying to live inconspicuously.......
\n
Misha, who had been frozen behind me, mustered up the courage to speak to Ike.
\n
"Nice to meet you, my name is Misha, I was saved by Mars three years ago and by chance, we met again at this school. I just want to ask you one question, is Sir Glenn Mars's brother?”
\n
"Hahaha. I'm not Glenn, I'm Ike. Yes, I am Mars's brother, and until three years ago, I used to dive into the labyrinth with him, Clarice, and Ellie. Hasn't Mars told you?"
\n
While everyone was surprised by this conversation, a woman came up to Ike. It was Karen.
\n
"Sir Glenn. Even if it is Sir Glenn’s words, there is no way that we are inferior to that little brother of yours there. Withdraw your statement!”
\n
Karen said as she stared into Ike's eyes. This feeling…is perhaps her Magic Eyes? Magic Eyes is very tricky because even my magic-infused eye can't seem to understand the flow of magic power.
\n
I can't tell whether or not she used her Magic Eyes without seeing her MP.
\n
If it is targeted at me, I can nullify it but if it is on someone else, it may only be for a few seconds but the target can be manipulated. But Ike…
\n
"Karen, your level of Magic Eyes won’t work on me. And if you use the magic eye, does that mean you have resolved yourself? Should I take that as a declaration of war?”
\n
Ike is quite angry...no, maybe it’s because he got hit by the Magic Eyes that he released out his bloodlust.
\n
Karen was peeing her pants when she was struck by Ike's real killing intent.
\n
Similarly, I’m fine with being despised and so is Clarice, however, if someone close to us is being looked down, we can’t just let it go apparently.
\n
Besides, Ike has always been an overprotective brother after all.
\n
Whether Karen is peeing her pants or not, Ike is thoroughly blaming her.
\n
"Karen, I'm going to ask you one more time. Your silence will be accepted as declaration of war. I’ll be troubled if you use your Magic Eyes as you please just because you are the daughter of the first duke.”
\n
Saying this, Ike put his hand on his Flame Lance.
\n
Ike is completely threatening her.
\n
This is probably to prevent Karen from being tyrannical in this class in the future.
\n
There is no way that Karen can resist the killing intent from someone that’s overwhelmingly strong and is hitting her for the first time. She crouched down and muttered a small "I'm sorry".
\n
Ike retracted his killing intent and took Karen's hand.
\n
“I accept your apology. I hope you will not use your Magic Eyes carelessly in this school anymore," he said refreshingly.”
\n
Hey, Ike. Karen's hand is covered in pee if you forgot...
\n
====================================
\n
Author’s note:
Karen and Baron are from the old Lister Confederacy.
They are the children of upper aristocrats so their equipment is luxurious.
They never acquired their equipment on their own.
It is all from power and money.
