Chapter 11
It was evening time when we returned to the academy.
After breaking up with Aisha, I went straight to the dormitory without eating.
My stomach hurt.
But I’m in a tangled state that I haven’t washed for over a day.
Naturally, there was no way the trait would allow eating in a restaurant.
I headed straight to my room on the 20th floor.
“·················· So, do you have a good visit?”
Amy, who was standing in the hallway, greeted me with a subtle expression.
Then he looked at me tiredly, as if he wanted to tell me what had happened.
“Yeah. See you tomorrow morning.”
I have no reason to tell you.
It’s also an ambiguous story.
profit-
After I said that to Amy, I went back to my room.
“Pooh.”
Taking a deep breath, I put the scenery in the room in my eyes.
Is it because I was homeless in the damp forest until yesterday?
It’s only been a week, but this room feels like my real room.
I put my bag down in the corner and washed it right away.
After washing, I did not lie down straight away, but dried my hair and applied cosmetics such as lotion.
I wanted to lie down on the bed right away, but if I did, the stinging pain would come.
[Twisted Nobility’s Dignity]
In a short period of a week, this trait trained me like Pavlov’s dog.
But the habit of washing and decorating is good, but it won’t be a bad thing, so I don’t even think about resisting.
“Shall we open it now?”
I took out a glass bottle wrapped in a handkerchief from inside the academy uniform I had taken off, and removed the handkerchief.
The glass bottle contains a brown liquid ‘Natural Power’.
Drinking it will force you to fall asleep for 12 hours.
The current time is 7 o’clock.
Wake up again at 7 am.
Eat now so you can meet tomorrow’s wake-up time.
I immediately opened the lid of the glass bottle.
gulp, gulp, gulp—
I drank all the brown liquid in one breath.
I don’t remember anything after that.
sassy, sassy—
I fell asleep right away.

The next day, the third period lecture was over.
It’s lunch time for the next hour.
“Theo, let’s go eat.”
Dumpling, Dumpling Dumpling.
Noctar, who was sitting next to him, said as he turned his neck and arms.
“okay.”
“But something seems to be happening today. What happened over the weekend?”
“I took a long walk.”
Noctar tilted his head.
“Yeah? As you know, our orcs are sensitive to that kind of energy. It’s an energy I’ve only felt from my father, but it’s amazing. Anyway, let’s go, I’m hungry.”
I headed to the student cafeteria with Noctar.
look energetic
Perhaps it is the effect of natural power.
In addition to increasing the stats, natural power had more minor effects.
In this work, descriptions such as leading the negotiation with the other party to an advantage, that he is a formidable man by looking at his eyes, and feeling a heavy presence came out.
What’s more, I’m sure it’s the orc’s words.
Just as elves are more sensitive to mana than other races, orcs are sensitive to human energy.
In a way, you are faithful to the setting of increasing your original strength.
So we walked for about 5 minutes and arrived at the student cafeteria.
“Yeah, we’re coming back to the academy together… that senior suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder…!”
“… Really, the line was really long. Even the limited edition with the author’s autograph was too much. I went right after waking up in the morning, but I barely bought it after lunch break, heh.”
“Ah, didn’t you say that you’d tell the person you’re going to evaluate before the end of today? I hope you’re a weak kid…”
The restaurant was crowded.
The students kept talking about what happened over the weekend.
You’re young, you’re young
With that in mind, I ordered a menu like noc tar.
“One orc set meal. Please give me the quantity.”
The restaurant waiter looked at me curiously, and immediately served the food.
“Oh. What’s wrong, Theo? I’ve been told not to eat before.”
“I’m hungry.”
“Okay, okay. I don’t know. If you’re a true warrior, it’s a virtue to eat a lot, and you should always be hungry. The food here is pretty good. It’s nutritious.”
Most orcs are gluttons.
Orc standards are small meals, and human standards are overeating.
Of course, as the name suggests, the oak set meal is large.
That’s three times the amount I normally eat.
But since I haven’t eaten anything since last night, I’m very hungry… It’s worth a try now.
So I get my food and go to my seat.
“Give me an orc set meal, too. According to the quantity.”
A woman ordered the same menu as me.
I glanced towards it.
“Uh, seeing it all here. It’s a coincidence, Theo.”
It was Aisha, a woman who looked far from the Orc set.
An awkward smile hung beneath Aisha’s lips.
······· Did he eat in the student cafeteria?
The student cafeteria is spacious, but I’ve never seen it before.
“Yeah, enjoy your meal.”
I greeted him politely and sat down with Noctar in the empty seat.
Noctar chuckled as he looked at the food.
“Then let’s eat! My buddy, Theo, congratulations on walking the path of a true warrior!”
“Let’s eat it deliciously.”
As I watched the noctar grab a large piece of meat with my bare hands and ate it with excitement, I picked up a fork and knife.
Whoops, whoops-
Clap, scoop, snuggle—
After about 20 minutes, we finished eating.
Noctar emptied the plate, but I had a quarter left.
The quantity is too much though it is too much
It has a strong fishy smell, so it doesn’t even suit my taste.
I can’t eat any more.
“It’s okay, Theo! It’s the first time, and it’s amazing that a human ate this much. Now, let’s go eat a traditional tribal elixir for dessert!”
“okay······.”
I got up from my seat, calming my bloated stomach.
As I was leaving the student cafeteria, I saw Aisha.
She looked down at most of the leftovers and was crying.

4:20 p.m.
In 10 minutes, all of today’s lectures will be over.
Locke, a bald professor with a sharp impression standing in the church, raised his glasses and said.
“I’ll finish early today.”
─Whoa!
The cheers of the students resound.
“quiet.”
Locke raised his hand modestly.
With that charisma, the classroom became quiet in an instant.
Locke continued.
“…before the lecture is over, I will announce the practical evaluation.”
mate, mate.
Locke clapped.
Then the little assistant came into the classroom with a large scroll.
“Wow, can I paste it here, Professor?”
Locke nodded low, and the assistant whined and stuck the scroll to the wall next to the blackboard.
[Notice of Practical Evaluation in Week 3]
Evaluation start date: 9:30 am on Friday of the 3rd week
All eyes in the classroom turned to the scroll.
“I will explain only the core. First of all, the start date and time of the evaluation is Friday 9:30 am as written. We gather in this classroom where you are currently sitting and move together.”
Locke’s voice was still sharp, but it didn’t quite reach the students’ ears.
The eyes of all students are looking for who they are sticking with.
“…the Academy’s best healers are on standby, so please feel free to show off your skills. This is ideal.”
Having said that, Locke left the classroom.
The assistant followed him like a puppy.
After that, the lecture hall became noisy with the stories of the students.
“Sir, isn’t this a scam? How can I defeat an orc…”
“The orcs are fortunate, my opponent is Eisha……. There is no real answer.”
“Thank you, Phil. I hope it will be a good match.”
“…this time, I’ll definitely win.”
hmmm.
Who is my opponent?
[The 39th Audience: Ralph Violet, Theo Lin Walderk]
oh boy
Ralph Violet.
He is a named character in his own way, using a large two-handed blunt as his main weapon.
Because of his intense feelings of inferiority, envy, and jealousy, he falls and becomes a villain in most of the routes of this work.
Of course, in the spearman route, he also becomes corrupted and becomes a villain.
Currently ranked 37th.
A student with excellent close-combat ability, whose self-reinforcement buff is intimidating.
“It’s not an easy opponent. He’s the friend I remember because of his thick muscles. Good job, Theo.”
Noctar tapped my shoulder with a large hand.
“Well, thank you. By the way, Noctar, your opponent is a wizard. Are you sure?”
“Hey, it’s a good opportunity to test what you’ve been studying. I thought that my understanding of magic warfare was particularly lacking, so I worked hard. Come on, let’s go to the training ground. You don’t want to rest today, are you, Theo?”
“Of course not. Let me go.”
The odds of winning against Ralph are slim, but he will do everything he can.
Ralph is not in the top rank like Nike, PI, and Aisha, but he is a strong player in the top 20%.

First of all, the most urgent thing is a test of natural power.
The stats raised by Hidden Peace do not appear in the information window.
So my strength and stamina revealed in the information window are the same as before 7.
In this work, Nike’s stats increased by about 3, what do you think of me?
“Okay, let’s burn it!”
With Noctar, I headed to the training ground.

After Theo left the classroom.
Ralph looked fiercely at Theo’s place.
‘Well caught, you unlucky gisaeng oldbi.’
Theo Lynn Walderk.
An incompetent bastard with nothing to see other than his family was very annoying these days.
And today, for some reason, Theo’s distinct presence scratched Ralph’s temper.
“Uh, you. You’re sticking with him.”
Because he can feel that Phil, who has been talking to him now, is paying more attention to that bastard.
Ralph lowered his eyes and said.
“Yeah, I have to step on it.”
Ralph is in love with Phil.
But never-ending love.
Phil never spoke to Ralph first.
The fact that Piel had spoken to him for the first time made him both happy and angry at the same time.
‘What’s that bastard old bastard…’
Read at readwn.com
For Ralph, the existence of Philip is the ideal type he has been longing for since childhood.
The daughter of the great noble Shallon family.
A strong player in the second place in the rankings with skills that his name is not ashamed of.
She looks small and slender, but has a well-trained body, red-haired short hair that seems to represent a soft inside unlike a strong exterior, soft-brown skin, and pale emerald-colored eyes.
Ralph liked everything about Phil.
“…I hope you’ll watch the fight with that bastard, no, Theo, Phil.”
“Yeah, I’ll watch. cheer up.”
With those words, Phil suddenly disappeared.
