Mahuradi’s eyes widened. He quickly glanced at Megara, and when she slightly glanced back at him, he looked sullen.
Only a few seniors who knew the meaning of the word looked at Neris with different eyes. After receiving the baton back from Neris, Duke Voltaire spoke to Megara.
“My lessons proceed only with students who can follow. You came into this class on the recommendation of Mrs. Hoffman, didn’t you?”
“……Yes.”
“Don’t go straight to the next class after the lesson is over. I’ll give you a quick test in Berlen language. I’ll write you a card explaining the situation, so you don’t need to worry about being late.”
Megara’s face turned pale.
“What about Neris? Will she also take the test?”
“It seems Neris Trued’s skills have been proven enough.”
Skills. The word made Megara’s eyes look vicious. She asked cautiously with a slightly thinner voice than usual.
“Teacher, what if… what if I fail the test?”
“You’ll have to go to a class that matches your level. The academy takes the appropriate learning difficulty very seriously. You can’t always have the student next to you teaching the answers, can you? If your partner doesn’t know the answer, you’ll get it wrong too.”
The faces of Megara and Mahuradi turned pale. Duke Voltaire knew that Mahuradi had taught Megara the answer.
Neris watched them with a sweet smile.
(This is a time separator.)
The rumor that Megara Likeandros was kicked out of the advanced foreign language class due to a lack of skills spread quickly.
Megara’s followers attacked Duke Voltaire and Neris, claiming something was off, but not all freshmen joined in on the attack. Neris was used to being cursed unconditionally whenever there was even a little chance, so this fact was surprising.
Especially Diane’s reaction was surprisingly favorable to Neris.
“That’s really weird. You followed her out of jealousy because you ranked first. She’s mad at you for failing because of her lack of skills. Why is she cursing you?”
‘Jealous.’ The expression of Diane, who didn’t know much about Megara, was accurate, and Neris stared at Diane’s eyes, finding it funny.
There was a little regret, too. Was it so easy to understand?
As a child, Neris sincerely believed that the reason Megara paid so much attention to her was because she was strange enough to give discomfort to others.
In reality, people were uncomfortable with Neris’s existence not only in school but also in social circles. The repertoire was usually as follows:
Ugly and skinny, without the charm to draw people, yet shamelessly hoping someone would like her.
Not having outstanding skills, but acting high and mighty, so it’s unbearable to watch.
Her expression is gloomy, and when she smiles, it’s startlingly disgusting to look at.
‘But it’s all true.’
She didn’t understand these words well when she first heard them. Neris, who hadn’t been interested in other people’s appearances since she was young, had never evaluated her own appearance as pretty or ugly.
When she was very young, before entering the academy, she even seemed to have heard many compliments about her appearance.
But after hearing several complaints about such discomfort, when Neris looked in the mirror, she found her face so unlikable that she was startled and quickly looked away.
When she became the crown princess, the portrait painted by the artist seemed to beautify her real face quite a bit, but still, her distinctive features were revealed, so she felt bad just like when she looked in the mirror.
Of course, she started to be more careful not to inadvertently smile.
However, thinking about it now, not everyone who was ‘ugly’ and ‘gloomy’ and ‘arrogant’ like Neris was blatantly ostracized.
No, everyone except Neris had friends.
Megara must have had a reason to start hating Neris at first, and now Neris roughly knew what that reason was.
In addition to being from a beautiful family and having good grades, there were other factors that reacted to Megara.
The Jian of the Elandria family had not appeared for over a hundred years, but children with purple eyes were occasionally born in various families.
People in high society thought that all purple eyes revealed that the owner had Elandria blood, and the fact of being a relative of such an ancient and noble house became a matter of pride.
The royal family and the Elandria family knew what real Jian was, but they did not particularly tell other families, because no heir of Jian was being born in the main house anyway.
Later, when Neris manifested the Jewel Eye, the purple eye, which had been handed down from generation to generation as precious, was revealed to the world to be Neris’s alone, but the old habit of valuing purple eyes did not change.
As much as she took pride in her appearance, Neris would have cared about her appearance called Megara.
“Yes.”
Even after being coldly refused before, Angarad, who had come near and sat down, seemed to have found an excuse to speak to Neris and agreed passionately.
