Moving into the Dorms

“Can I ask a question?” Fey’s hand was in the air.

“Yes?” replied Godolphen.

“If we wanted to endorse Allen, what do we actually have to do?”

“It is no difficult matter. All it would entail is coming to me and stating that you recognize Allen Rovene as a worthy member of Class A. As it happens, I’m of the understanding that this year’s Class A contains only those who have come from noble families, major or otherwise. Whether you judge Allen by your own values or by those of your family, or by any other means you deem necessary, I will neither question nor judge your decisions.”

“I see. Got it.” Fey stood up from her chair and placed her left hand over her heart. “On the name of my family, I, Feyreun von Dragoon, endorse Allen Rovene as a worthy member of Class A of the Royal Academy of Yugria.”

“Your endorsement is recognized.”

Fey’s endorsement didn’t come as a surprise to me, but it wasn’t going to make a difference in the long run. Besides, if I moved to Class E, I’d be able to get away from Fey entirely—and that was reason enough for me.

I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that everyone in Class A is from a noble family either. Even back in my past life, people often said academic prowess was closely related to how well-off your family was. It was a harsh world, but that was reality.

At that moment, the boy who’d seemed jealous and glared at me throughout Fey’s performance at the beginning of class stood up. “Lady Fey! What on earth are you thinking? Even if he is from the Dragoon Region, how could you wield your family’s name in support of a mere viscount’s son—especially one accused of such dishonesty?! Given his unbecoming treatment of you earlier, I’m not sure he’s even a noble to begin with—he’s probably just an impostor! How could you risk the Dragoon name being tarnished because of this boy? I’ll be reporting this to the marquess immediately!”

Ah, now I get it. This boy was probably from a branch family or a retainer family, or perhaps he was the child of a count from the Dragoon Region—whatever the case, he’d clearly fallen into the role of attendant-cum-chaperone for Fey. He must have put in unimaginable effort to gain a seat in the same class as her.

Mwa ha ha. He’s definitely less than pleased by Fey’s interest in a lowly country boy like me. I filed this information away for later use—it was something else I could possibly use to my advantage should the need arise.

“I’ve used the Dragoon name because I’m endorsing Allen not just as an individual, but as a representative of the Dragoon family. You see, in the game of politics, there are times when you need to make risky decisions. I see something in Allen that you cannot, Parley. I don’t care what you report or whom to—so shut your mouth and sit down, will you?”

She’s scary, all right.
