RATH 77

TL: Eevee

10 We came, e won (2)

2 Their story: A certain student council president’s story

In a giant hall several tirasia’s main auditoriuant decorations and the food was luxurious and plentiful

“Mh class as well”

And we, thearound here and there for food

“Hey, but why does all this delicious meat, taste worse than those sandwiches we desperately searched for during the holidays?”

“Oi, Risen Are you really the one to be saying that? You found and ate theood!”

“Yeah, it would have Ah, but wasn’t the one bite we each shared around pretty good as well?”

“I know right I remembered them every now and then and went to the sandwich shop to buy a few, but they just didn’t taste the same”

And yet none of all these decorations and furniture, the food

Nor the VIPs that came here to meet us satisfied our hearts

“damn it, I’m bored”

“I know, they should just start the damn festival already They do this on the last day as well, don’t they?”

“It’s actually even bigger on that day With thethey have left”

“Hear, hear I’m honestly not in the mood for all this”

“”””””Until we are victorious””””””

That’s hoas Our objective was victory in the i for an extre, total victory that would leave its mark on imperial history

Because otherwise, hell awaited us

“Hm, it’s been a while, Nerkia”

As et our throats with low-alcohol wine and I wished for to for me

“Milord Duke Zearr”

The twin pillars of the empire

The Raina Archduchy, and the one that led the Archducal House of Zearr

But the i here was that this Archduke Zearr was a e of this year’s i in so quaint frorasia this year”

As I accept his outstretched hand and shook it, he immediately took a wary shot at us

Hmph, that’s a former Arucia for you

He probably set the events up that Arucia would be ever so slightly favoured as well

But Professor Nicerwin said this to us

Luck is also skill

And if luck is a skill, then of course schooling, contacts and bloodlinethat since the world revolves around it all even if they don’t count, then get prorained in ry that Arucia has the favour of an archduke, but win a perfect victory at this year’s festival so that we have an archduke’s children enroll at Yugrasia next year!

This hell, it’s unfair if I’reat loss for the empire if I’m the only one that receives such excellent education!

“There were rasia this year Thanks to that the students’ skills have ione by at school, my mana floavered momentarily

Huh? Did my hand break out in a cold sweat, the archduke’s hand was damp as he withdrew

damn it, it’sof what happened at school, I just…”

“W, was it so trying for you?”

Trying? Did that come anywhere near what it was actually like? We’d all have rather fought the kings of hell!

“Don’t they always say that students grow through adversities?”

Although of course we didn’t want those adversities

They say that one must overcome trials and tribulations to beco

But as we struggled through our trials and tribulations, we realised

You’re perfectly happy if there are no trials or tribulations to begin with, right?

Through great sacrifice, we realised that doing nothing and gaining nothingall sorts of trials and tribulations to obtain so at the end of it all

If we could meet ourselves of the past, ould want to yell at theain so don’t ever bring Professor Nicerwin, but it was already much too late

“It seems you have had it hard”

“No, milord Hoould we turn back ti to enroll at Yugrasia next year to not coreed is endless, and they endlessly repeat the sareed in the face of Yugrasia’s victory will end up in Yugrasia one way or another

I have no reason to care about thoseinto the flames!

“Really now…”

I waited for ht

But he’s thinking for too long? What is it?

Ah! Might this not be soic action?

It wasn’t out of place for sohest representatives, an archduke to co an archduke which was like the difference between heaven and earth for most students, even if they are nobles, would put theh it was nothing to me that had already faced the fear of death multiple times, but if it was me fro and quivering all over hoping I didn’t make so for that and pretending to think over so

That’s a former Arucis for you!

I need to assume that the battlefield is already all but enemy territory already

“I’”

“No, ht onto his machinations

Even as I bowed htly sheepish expression, in hts entirely

‘Yes, struggle all you want! Victory is already ours!’

Of our certain victory
