High School Seniors Transferred To Another World

Chapter 10.2



All of my classmates were relieved of their worries and anxieties about the future by obtaining the status of prospective nobles and preferential treatment for academy scholarships.

In March, when flowers bloom after the winter, we will enter the academy as scholarship students and learn how to handle attributes, combat skills such as swordsmanship and magic, and culture as to-be nobles.

If we graduate safely from the academy, our status as a noble is guaranteed. There is a high probability of starting as a baron, the lowest rank in the aristocratic class, but it is possible to become a viscount or an earl if we achieve very good grades in the academy.

So, along with the other dreamers, I started pre-learning in preparation for higher academy grades during the winter. 

Under the support of the imperial family, Ji-hye, Ah-young, Princess Amer and I are studying magic, while Min-ho, Ji-hoon Choi, and Hye-rin are training in swordsmanship.

It seems that Hyerin is slightly disappointed that I am learning magic and not swordsmanship. 

But I’d rather be protected in the back lines than fight in the front lines while getting all sorts of wounds.

My comfort always comes first.

“How is the swordsmanship class? Is it any good?”

“Yeah. It’s tiring after it’s over, but it’s quite fun. I feel like I’m improving more and more with each class, so I feel a sense of accomplishment...”

Hyerin and I went to the flower garden in the palace to take a walk together on our way back to our rooms after the class executives' meeting.

Since the attribute check, her personality has become more lively.

Since arriving, Min Hye-rin had been a voluntary anti-socialite, ducking conversations with her other classmates with short answers and focusing only on her studies. 

She said I was the only person in our class who she could have a short, but down-to-earth, conversation with.

Now, she often has moderate conversations with her other friends as well. 

It seems that while awakening the mythical-level attributes in the attribute test, she also recovered her self-esteem that had been chipped away because of me and became more relaxed.

“It would have been nice if we could learn swordsmanship together... I’m sorry.”

“It is because I’m not good at using my body. You’ve never seen me exercise, have you?”

“Come to think of it, that’s right. Heh, it reminds me of high school. Even during PE class, you and I only studied in the corner of the gym...”

“Actually, it’s only been a few months, but it feels like a story from the past. Since then, a lot has happened… Starting with Hyerin’s tears—-“

“Ahh, I told you not to bring that up!!”

We passed through an arch of flowers in full bloom with magic, even in the middle of winter, while having silly conversations.

I am the only person in my class that Hyerin is close enough to go for a walk together. 

My dominance still holds.

I led her to a bench in the corner of the flower garden. 

Because of this, I felt strange inside because I felt like I had become a flirt with another woman besides my Jihye.

Though, one should pay more attention to the fish that are almost caught rather than the fish that one has already caught.

In this world, polygamy and harems are possible, so long as I have the ability, I am innocent of any crimes.

Pink petals landed on Min Hye-rin’s ears.

I slowly reached out my hand toward her immaculate face.

Her pupils trembled and her eyes slowly closed. 

Her facial features were so beautiful that it took my breath away.

‘Soon, boys who are attracted to her attributes or beauty will go after Hyerin. Before that... I have Hyerin to myself.’

My fingers cleared the petals and then ran through the strands of her hair. 

I brushed her black hair gently behind her ears.

“There were petals.”

“……”

Minhye-rin shyly lowered her flushed face.

She is mine.

I will make sure it stays that way.

“Firstly, Amer, congratulations on awakening a continental-level attribute.”

“Thank you, Father.”

“Do you know why I have called you?”

The 3rd Princess, Amer di Kairos, moved her two eyes from her father, the Emperor, to her older sister, the 2nd Princess.

“Jung Ji-hoo and the summoned Park Min-ho. It must be because of the two of them.”

“...Have you seen into the future?”

At the emperor’s question, the second princess, Soniel di Kairos, nodded her head with a mysterious smile. 

Amer sighed in wonder.

Future Sight: it is the highest authority of the [Star Cluster] Attribute, and it is an ability that only Soniel can use in the current world.

“I haven’t seen everything, but one thing is for sure. My future husband will be Jung Ji-hoo.”

“Haha!! Oh, it’s a good thing, a good thing...”

The Emperor smiled cheerfully and shook his head, before meeting Amer’s eyes, which were widened in surprise.

“Mythical and epic-level attributes. Jung Ji-hoo and Park Min-ho, who have awakened these two attributes, must become members of our imperial family no matter what. Otherwise, they could become the seeds for the division of the empire.“

The emperor’s request is no different from an order.

“Each of you take on one person and seduce them both. Since Soniel is said to be connected with Jung Ji-hoo, Amer, you can take on Park Min-ho.”

Amer blushed as she recalled her first meeting with Park Min-ho in the audience room and his handsome face celebrating her awakening as if it were his own inspection at the examination site.

She didn’t dislike the Emperor’s instructions, which would normally have made her feel repulsed. 

In fact, she felt rather good about it.

She felt a little guilty when she recalled the information that he had a girlfriend named Seong Ah-young, but she soon put her worries aside.

His girlfriend could be an obstacle for her.

This is because Amer’s attribute, [Beauty], exerts an absolute effect of temptation.

‘Hmmmm, I’ll accept her as long as she is his concubine.’

Park Min-ho falling into the swamp called Amer was a pre-determined fate for him.

“Yes! Got it!”

Amer left the emperor’s office with Soniel.

Amer’s face did drop the smile. 

Soniel, who was looking at her sister like that, was expressionless.

“Amer.”

“Huh? Sister, what is it?”

“You can’t fall in love with Park Min-ho.” “······Yes?”

Amer’s merry tune came to an abrupt halt and she looked at Soniel. 

Soniel told her, while wrapped in the mysticism of a seer-

“The person your fate points to is not Park Min-ho.”

‘My poor little sister…’

“I can’t see who your husband will be.”

‘That’s a lie. In order to fulfil her destiny, this is the only lie allowed to avoid the restrictions.’

“But you will definitely be happy at the end of your life.”

‘Regardless of your will.’

“So you can’t be allowed to give your heart to Park Min-ho.”

‘It seems like it’s already too late.’

Fate whispers to Soniel.

She could not change anything.

Amer said, “Uh, yes... I get it...” and then she went back to her palace.

Soniel also returned to her abode, the ‘Palace of Heaven’. 

She lay in the middle of the wide bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her holy eyes can see the essence of the night sky hidden by the ceiling.

Two moons floating in the sky. 

A cluster of stars in the sky.

The stars flow without free will along the path set by the Heavens. 

All a star can do is to emit weak light and guide one on the way it should go. 

The road can only be changed by Heaven.

She is but a pitiful star.

Soniel recalled the scene where all time stopped at the imperial palace inspection station.

The moment he awakened the [Heaven] Attribute, Soniel’s star was embedded in the sky with Jihoo.

Even today, her attributes, which were subordinate to the sky, urged her to go and see her master immediately.

That moment was not far off. 

***

Do you know the difference between a maid and a bedmaid?

In light s or web s, ‘maid’ is usually expressed without much difference, but the status of maid and maid is vastly different.

Housemaids are the master’s assistants. 

She assists her owner in his work, manages the property, and gives professional advice.

Usually, a noblewoman of a lower rank than the master becomes a maid.

Senri di Henriart, the emperor’s maid of honour whom I met this morning, is a member of the royal family of the Henriart Kingdom, which is the family that divided the continent into halves before the founding of the Empire, judging by her surname.

On the other hand, the status of a bedmaid is a slave. 

A bedmaid is the property of her master and merely obeys her given orders.

“What do you plan to do with me?”

Ireina, the maid who was not tamed, looked at me from inside my room and asked. 

Even though she was very nervous, it was clear that she was trying hard to put on a front of calmness.

But I have a plan.

And the first step in it is to educate this cheeky maid who spits unflattering words at her rightful owner.
