[Author: Due to health and work issues at the end of this year, I was unable to release new chapters for everyone, but I have arranged my work properly and my health is better, so I will continue to release new chapters more consistently every week, from 1-2 chapters a week, I hope everyone continues to read the story, thank you and I wish you a Merry Christmas even though it is a bit late].
It has been more than two weeks since the first official day of school at this Yggdrasil school, it is truly worthy of being called the most prestigious school in the world, the quality of the food here is truly amazing, making me passionately eat a lot of the dishes on the school cafeteria menu, such as broken rice, beef steak, and crab soup, while I was still enjoying these dishes, at the dining table in the distance, there were noble girls chatting animatedly with each other and the topic they were talking about was me.
"Hey, isn't that the knight with the sword in his hand Lotus!? I heard he achieved Gen Z rank when he was just a first year student in the magic ranking test."
"Really!!? As expected of one of the most powerful upper-class nobles after the royal family."
"That's not all, he's also the one who created groundbreaking inventions like trains, airships, and cars."
"Wow! Such a talented guy and he doesn't have a girlfriend or a kiss yet, oh I really want to get to know him! I might even marry him and become his wife if possible."
"Haha that's impossible! With his status as a young master of the Lucius family and a genius, there will be many women who want to marry him, and the most potential candidate is Princess Luna Valen, even though these two people rarely meet, but with their status and reputation, it's very possible that Lotus and the princess can have that wish one day."
"Eh, is that true?"
The noble girls were gossiping about me, and I could only smile wryly because I didn't know whether to be happy or sad about those words, because they said that Lotus was the previous Lotus and now I was just a reincarnated person in this body, but I quickly calmed myself down.
"Haizz... Looks like after that ranking test, I became famous in school, huh? To the point of being shipped with the princess of the Ozon Kingdom as an OTP! Oh well, let's just finish eating first and then figure it out."
Ignoring those girls, I continued to eat the food I had ordered, and after finishing eating, I left the cafeteria and headed straight to the school park, going to the tree that I often went to rest under during lunch break, and now with a full stomach under my shirt from eating too much, I was currently lying under a tree in the school park enjoying the wind blowing by.
"I admit that the wind here is really cool! And there's also a beautiful view, it's really suitable for taking a nap."
Oh, and before I go to sleep, one more thing: after the news that I was only a freshman but had achieved Gen Z results in the ranking test, not only did I accidentally become the center of conversation among the students in the school, but after that incident, wherever I went, everyone was scared and made way for me as if they were meeting a big shot, or when I went to the cafeteria, no one dared to sit near me or jostle with me in line, I don't know if I should be happy or sad? But even so, in return, many female friends approached me to say hello and talk to me, and to be honest, I felt a little awkward about things like this, but gradually I got used to it, and now I'm even enjoying it.
Overall, the feeling is quite interesting even though it's a bit tiring, this feeling of being an Idol is the first time I've experienced it, if it was me before Isekai, no one would come to greet me like this.
"Oh, is this the feeling of being famous? It feels so great."
Oh, the person I'm referring to is the mastermind of the Academy arc or ss1 of the anime, he is currently my class's math teacher named Ersatz, a stereotypical villain in anime, he will be a person with a polite appearance, appearing friendly and considerate, speaking softly with a bit of mystery, always being neutral in all disputes, with everyone, all of the above is for the purpose of creating a beautiful shell to cover up his true nature.
And his true personality is a heartless person who loves to experiment, during the 2 years of working, he secretly kidnapped students every three months to be his experimental subjects for his research, like some would be used to experiment with magic and spells on the human body, others would be used as sacrifices for rituals, and when the experimental subjects died, he would throw them away and fake the scene, somehow he seemed to be unsuspected or discovered, not only that, he made the victims be individual students, or children of low-ranking nobles and expelled students, and every time he acted or threw them away, it was always when the principal was not at school, so his crimes were even harder to be discovered. And that was his biography before the anime started, that was when his goal was completed for 2 years, all he did was for one sole purpose, which was to create the chaos orb, it had the form of a ball containing a fiery eye and a bit of flesh and blood that looked disgusting, and just like that sinister appearance, the chaos eye contained a terrifying power.
Even though he had the eye in his hand, it was terrifying, but it still required extremely large and special mana to be able to awaken and make it open its eyes, so in ss1 of the anime, he planned to kidnap those who achieved Alpha or higher in the first year exam.
And the reason he chose that was because this year there were targets for the target to be eliminated, including: special Mana, high mana reserves, and most of all, royal blood and high-ranking nobles, which were more than enough to awaken the eye and gain its enormous power, even I didn't know because he was defeated by the Vontex group right before he could perform the ritual, and ignoring that plot, not only those who had achieved Alpha status would be his targets now, but even me and Vontex had become targets, although making me the target was a bit off plan, but it was still within control, and the reason I made Vontex get involved was because I wanted some of it to be useful to us in the future, and while I was still thinking and planning in my head while still lying under the tree, then.
"Hey!"
A very clear but no less fierce voice just appeared, making me return to reality, I looked up to see a girl with black and white bangs and red eyes, slightly sharp fangs and that was none other than the vampire princess of the great demon king, and at the same time that person was also a Ranger Rider blue, but ignoring the fact that she was the kind of child of a high-ranking official, she was currently frowning and looking at me quite angrily.
"Finally, I finally got to meet and talk to you directly, after two weeks since entering school, Lotus."
"Oh really! Why does a princess of the Vimpir Fier Amable country want to meet me like that?"
Her eyes became cold, and her two hands clenched even tighter when I said that.
"Oh, you're still as arrogant as ever, Lotus?"
"Um… maybe? But what are you here for, Princess Vampir Fierte Amble, daughter of the great demon king, one of the 6 heroes known as Ranger Rider Blue?"
"I came to find you with only one purpose, which is to defeat you, to avenge the grudge you made against me, Lotus."
I was a bit surprised because I had never known this plot in the anime. As far as I knew, Amble was a character built as the rival character of the female lead Vontex, a Tsundere vampire princess because she was jealous of Vontex's strength and talent. At the same time, Amble was also defeated by Vontex at the tournament, and was grateful to her for saving her when she was captured by Esatz as a sacrifice, so from then on, Amble was determined to train and challenge to be able to defeat Vontex, and in the anime, she was also a reliable ally in every battle.
But now I am the target of this girl, what the hell happened? This Lotus guy, don't tell me you defeated her? If so, then oh my gosh! Oh right, it seems that before the convention arc, Amble hasn't appeared yet, or rather, only appeared in a few small scenes, or is this an event before the convention, will I be defeated right here and she will successfully take revenge? And like that, I won't be bothered by this girl?... On the contrary, I find this situation interesting, being challenged by a beauty like this is also very interesting, but not today because after all, I've only been a pro for nearly 3 months, my experience and magic skills are very bad, so I'll just temporarily find an excuse to leave.
"So you want revenge because I defeated you?"
"Yeah, that's right, it's because of you that I've suffered humiliation! My pride as a princess and the strongest person in my kingdom was destroyed by you!…not only that, you also-."
Before she could finish her sentence, I raised my hand and interrupted her.
"OK stop! Okay, if you want to defeat me like that, then just wait until the tournament starts, you and I will settle everything then, okay?"
Saying that, I stood up and left without letting her reply, why did I say that? Just because it was cool even though it was a bit childish and rude would easily make you lose sympathy or get punched in the previous world, but this was a Fantasy world and since the opponent was Amble, it didn't matter, and as for her faction, when she saw me acting like that, she immediately became angry and yelled at me.
"Hey, I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going? Stop right there, I have to beat you up for that arrogance!!."
Despite Amble angrily yelling at me, I just left and entered the building, but what I didn't realize was that when I turned to leave, Amble stopped yelling at me and started muttering to himself.
"Humph! As expected of the one who defeated me Lotus…if you say so, then on the day of the grand competition I will defeat you, and I will never let you escape from my arms again…you will be mine."
Saying that, Amble lightly touched his blood-red lips and looked at Lotus strangely, and Lotus didn't know about this either, what was this Amble thinking about him?
