"I've never been jealous of anyone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I replied with a smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric snickered at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's the fun in looking down on people all the time? I used to think you were a hardworking, hard-working kid, but I guess I was wrong."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric looked down at me contemptuously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was far from the bad girl I used to be when I was known for my hard work and dedication.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A bad girl shouldn't let people see that she's working hard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, Eric's words show me how much I have grown as a bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You think what you just said is a compliment?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I smiled at Eric.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eric's eyes became sharper and sharper. It's not often in life that people look at you like this. Well, in my life, there are a lot of times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most people would never be staring at me like this, with eyes filled with anger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The classroom is filled with tension.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel sorry for you guys. Having to feel this atmosphere every time I show up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the more people, the better for me. I want as many people as possible to see what a bad girl I am.

"Liz, you know, she never runs away from what's in front of her."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gave a dumb response to Eric's sudden words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Liz is always ready to face any challenge. No matter what she's going through. She's the kind of girl who would reach out to a nobleman who hated her. She's the kind of girl who would sacrifice herself to help others. When the wild wolf came to this school, she protected us all with trembling. Because he wants to protect something even if it scares him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, a wild wolf showed up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were many things I wanted to say to Master Eric, but the wild wolf was the most important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's hard to believe it's a coincidence that a wild wolf would show up here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ignoring my words, Eric continued his story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In my spare time I go into town to play with the little children, and I think about this country a lot anyway. What about you?　You don't make any effort, you always make fun of people and ...... trash."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric's eyes were cold as he looked at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, he said the word "trash" back to me. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the same time as Eric's words, I felt a terrible killing intent coming from behind me. It sent chills down my spine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt goosebumps all over my body. I turned around slowly to see who ...... was behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that moment, my body froze. I never want ...... to make an enemy of you. The first thing that came to my mind was this word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri, Jill, Mel, and Duke, the killing spirit coming from them pressured me too. Killing with your eyes....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure they're giving everyone in the classroom goosebumps with their deadly energy. You could make it your specialty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, I'm sure Duke has lost a lot of fans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Keep your mouth shut. And hands, of course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said, steeling myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wasn't sure if they were listening to me, but I turned to Master Eric.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric was looking at them blindingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, his eyes completely fell off of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I would have looked at them if I had seen them with such a terrible killing spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was definitely motivated to kill him when he called me trash, but the pressure from the people behind me was too much. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Eric. Don't you think Liz is a fool for trying to save someone at the expense of herself?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this with a smile, and Master Eric turned his attention to me.　Finally he looked at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're a lowlife who can't even prioritize. You know you're valuable, but you're protecting a nobleman who hates you, and ...... you wouldn't sacrifice yourself if you were really smart. You can't replace her anywhere."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You won't be able to replace Alicia, either."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Liz said, wrinkling her brow and looking me squarely in the eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I am."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said quietly in return.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I saw her eyes widen a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There are plenty of alternates. It doesn't matter. They all want to think they are special and they all want to be special. But you can't be special. You can find a lot of smart people, a lot of people with magic. But none of them have what you have."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My voice echoes in the quiet classroom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The reality is that you may be right. But there is no ...... substitute for someone else."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Only you can do that, Liz. The world you're heading to needs an alternate."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you're going to be in a position to protect your country someday, what are you going to do when someone around you suddenly goes missing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked with a smile. From the outside, I must have looked very mean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Have you ever wondered what it means to have a second-in-command as well as a captain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you know about ...... Liz. Liz is fine just the way she is. Nothing has to change. What she lacks, we make up for it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric suddenly said from the side, his voice trembling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can't do anything about it if we don't change the saints' minds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's harder than I thought to keep an eye on Cather Liz. I sighed deeply inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Liz is a strong and beautiful woman who faced her fears with trembling."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Eric looked me straight in the eye and said that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe you should be saying that to Liz, not to me. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Liz's eyes widened and her face became more and more like an apple. I could see her eyes were a little moist. So now Liz has one more target to conquer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyway, I've said what I have to say, ...... and I want to go home. Now I need a sugar rush.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's go!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turned around and said that like a bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　People are still staring at me, but I just want to get out of this classroom and relax.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you know about Alicia too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke said quietly in a clear voice with low weight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't know what kind of expression Master Eric had on his face, but I could easily imagine it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think he would expect Duke to say something like that to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I'd love to see his face, but it wouldn't look good to turn around at .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I headed straight for the classroom door. Jill walked silently next to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Behind her, I see my brother Henri, Mel, and Duke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They walk in silence without opening their mouths.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if it was okay for my brother Henri to continue to follow me, after all the good times he has had with everyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was walking around thinking about this in a daze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't notice until I got home that Jill's palm had a clear nail mark on it and that it was soaked with blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill's recollections (Alicia, age 13, Jill, age 9)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Alicia, isn't today at least a good day?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this to Alicia as I watched her practice magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Every day from morning to night, she spent her time in the library practicing magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was in bad shape, and her level did not go up very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I had been doing too well. Maybe it usually takes me this long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't know about normal. But Alicia has the kind of personality that once she's on fire, she stays on fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. Today's the day."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean it's important to keep going every day?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There's no point in trying every day if you're not going to keep trying."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe you're just trying to get to the next level as fast as possible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To catch up with Cather Liz?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I said this, Alicia looked a little sad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the first time, I felt I saw the true heart of Alicia, who was always so strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I'll never be able to catch up to her no matter how hard I try. But I want to be at least a little bit on her level. Otherwise, I can't be a big shot, can I?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia looked at me seriously and smiled, wrinkling the corners of her eyes after she said this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia probably knows better than anyone that her abilities are no match for Cather Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason she is always so bossy with Cather Liz is because she is trying to catch up with her. She will never stop trying to be equal to Cather Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that's why Alicia told Cather Liz that her efforts are not rewarded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because she knows it best. She knows that results are everything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And maybe she hates to show her efforts to others because she knows better than anyone else that hard work only gives her confidence .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only because he thinks it's not cool to show his desperation to anyone, but also because he doesn't think it's something to show people where he builds his confidence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe what I am thinking and what Alicia is thinking are different. But I do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hoped from the bottom of my heart that one day Alicia would surpass Cather Liz's abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I said this, Alicia smiled a little and opened her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I won't do anything that will damage your body, but I will push you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If everyone knew the real Alicia, they would instantly fall in love with her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone would fall in love with her and want to be by her side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the one hand, I hope that such a day will come, but on the other hand, I don't want anyone to know about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt a little bit of love for this contradictory mind.
