Rodelin de Lucid.

I recalled information about her.

A genius in swordsmanship and the youngest of the prestigious Lucid family, a noble house among noble houses.

At just fifteen, she earned the moniker 'The Lone, Noble Sword.'

Despite being only a second-year, she had achieved the remarkable feat of securing the position of vice president of the student council from this year.

To summarize the character Rodelin, it would be apt to describe her as the 'embodiment of perfection.'

'One of the five monsters of the Academy, too.'

But her nature was not monstrous.

Outwardly strict, but inwardly gentle, she was a character of strong exterior and soft heart.

She would listen to the weak and empathize with the pain of others.

Yet, she was merciless against evil, no matter who it might be.

'...No. There is one exception.'

The Lucid family to which Rodelin belonged.

Initially her pride and joy, her view of the family began to crumble after learning its secrets.

Still, Rodelin loved her family and struggled to protect it, only to be ultimately discarded by them.

Yet, she continued to love and cherish her family.

Before she was discarded, after she was discarded, and even after being discarded again and losing everything...

That's how it was.

'It's a character I felt sorry for, and here I am facing her.'

I couldn't help but be sentimental.

Of course, this was all from my perspective.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

The Lucid family had guarded the borderlands abutting neighboring kingdoms for hundreds of years.

Perhaps due to such an upbringing, Rodelin considered herself a soldier, characterized by her stern manner of speaking.

"Didn't you hear me? I asked you what you are doing."

Rodelin's eyes blazed fiercely.

Eyes like a wild beast.

Not only was she hailed as a genius in swordsmanship, but her excellence wasn't limited to that.

All her stats easily surpassed the average.

This meant she was also highly intelligent.

'...If I'm not careful, I'll be expelled right away.'

The badge of guidance hung on Rodelin's left arm caught my eye.

Her standing in Annwood Academy was significant.

Before even considering her position as vice president of the student council, she was a student trusted by the professors.

In the game, Rodelin expelling a few troublemakers before the entrance ceremony is an actual event.

"Can't you hear me? Depending on your response, I might expel you right here in the square. This place is within the jurisdiction of the student council, after all."

Rodelin's gaze sharpened slightly.

I wanted to observe a bit more, but now didn't seem like the right time.
