He woke up at six in the morning, unaware of what was happening in the capital due to his statements the day before.
"Huh, waking up at this time is annoying."
He muttered as he walked towards the bathroom in the room.
After a while, he started putting on his school clothes and took his sword.
"Today is the first day of school.
The current school system is like entering a survival contest. At each stage, you have to survive different challenges, and with each failure, the people at the bottom of the list are eliminated, until only two hundred people graduate.
When I read this in the book explaining the academy's rules, I knew why most of the events of the novel would take place here.
The writer simply has an infinite number of things he can add to the story.
Every time the number of applicants increases, the physical and mental challenges on the students become greater. This year, more than seven thousand students applied, so the challenges will be imaginary."
Siron sat thinking about everything, then he put on his sword and left the room.
In the corridor, he came across different students, all of whom were bowing towards him and saying
, "Good morning, Mr. Master."
"Hello, Duke."
"Hello."
He calmly greeted them.
"System, may I ask, why is my strength 500 and my body weak? How is it calculated?"
[Hello, host. Your strength calculation depends on your own strength.
With your current strength, you can kill a lion with a single punch, but your body will still be damaged.
That means when you punch with all your strength, you'll break your hand or leg due to your weak physical ability.] "How weak is it?"
[It's so weak that it's not even counted among your strength
stats^_^]. "Oh."
Siron continued walking until he descended the stairs to the lower floor.
He lived on the third floor of the student dormitory.
This floor was reserved for nobles, where they could buy their own rooms with their own money
(note that the money is not refunded if the student drops out of school or fails).
On the first floor, before descending the stairs, a group of people stopped Siron.
There were seven of them, led by a person with brown hair who looked strong.
"Hello, Your Majesty, Duke."
He bowed awkwardly, clearly mocking.
[Important: In the original novel, this person always bullied Siron, to the point that he killed Sebastian because he defended his master, so take revenge on this person and his group and you will win a reward].
"Here come the sweets, hehe hehe hehe."
"Duke, we are friends and colleagues in this academy, so I want to ask you to help your colleagues with some money."
"Yes, Your Majesty, everyone helps each other."
They were talking loudly and the crowds started to gather, yesterday everyone enjoyed watching the prince and Siron argue so when people heard that something happened to him people came forward to see what was happening.
The group that came to talk to Siron was called the
"Rude Beggars".
They were a group of second year students led by a man called
"El Lexo",
a strong man who was known to love trouble and hate nobles. This gang targeted first year nobles, especially weak ones, but as things got worse, they became arrogant.
Luckily, they were lucky enough to have Siron as their prey in the original novel.
They tortured and blackmailed him in the most hideous ways, and even gained great wealth through him. Unfortunately, in this dimension, they came across Aemon Jean.
"What did you say?"
Siron said to them.
"Your Lord Duke, we need some money to help our fellow needy people."
They surrounded Siron completely, but he was not affected or even batted an eyelid.
He was looking at their leader, seeing him as his current prey.
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
He said with a smile.
"Twenty gold pieces!!"
In this world there is a unified system of currencies, but the difference is in the shape of the currencies, as each country has a logo or a picture bearing its symbol, but the size of the currency and its name remain the same.
At the bottom of the classification there are
((iron pieces and 100 iron pieces equal one copper piece and 100 copper pieces equal one silver piece and 100 silver pieces equal one gold coin and 100 silver coins equal one diamond)).
Asking for twenty gold pieces is impossible, as even the richest person in the world will not give this number easily, but they tried to make fun of him and insult him.
"Are you crazy?!"
"Tsk."
Siron poked him on the forehead with his middle finger.
The poking had taken all of his 500 strength and Lexua was a swordsman with only 101 strength so he couldn't even think about bearing that strength.
"Boom!"
His skull smashed on the ground and blood splattered.
"Listen to me people, I will give twenty gold coins to whoever kills anyone from this group."
He then sat on the stairs and looked at everyone present on the first floor.
More than 300 people had gathered because of the news. After Siron announced this, people started attacking them.
"You bastards, leave my sight."
One of them grabbed one of the gang members by the eye and started attacking him.
Another was kicked in the testicles.
The crowd started attacking the gang with unprecedented brutality.
Some of them were first-years and felt hatred towards this gang, some wanted to get close to the duke, and some just wanted to kill, and so on.
Within five minutes, the remaining six were killed and their bodies were brutally torn apart into smaller pieces due to the brutality with which they were treated.
In front of Siron stood ten students covered in blood, each holding a piece of a gang member's body, some holding a hand, others a head, and others a heart...
When Aesta saw this sight, she was disgusted by the brutality.
"Yes, that's you, just a possessive lunatic."
She threw away all the good thoughts about him.
Siron was sitting on the stairs looking at them
"Tell me your names and the money will reach you before evening".
The money he was going to give was 200 gold coins which meant two diamond coins but that meant nothing to someone whose wealth was worth more than billions of diamonds.
"My Lord Duke I don't want the money"
they said in unison, inside the place everyone was surprised until Siron who said
"Friends don't be afraid I have a lot, and I won't hold a grudge if you want the money you have deserved it, it's twenty gold coins so tell me your names and I will give you the money".
But they replied instead
"My Lord Duke thank you for your generosity but as for me I just wanted to kill them, I hold a grudge against them".
"Your Majesty they beat my sister".
"They harassed me, Your Majesty."
The only girl among them said,
"Sir, they did...."
They continued to explain the reasons for their actions. In this world, when a noble killed, he was not held accountable, especially when he was not charged, so he usually carried out the killing after giving the dead person money or threatening them.
So, Seeron was relieved of this matter, especially since he had only killed one person.
"Thank you, Duke, for saving us from the scoundrels."
Everyone said in unison, only the main and secondary heroes were staying away from this crowd.
[Warning, all the main secondary heroes of the story are looking at you with caution].
"Leave the heroes and give me the reward."
[(^o^) You scoundrel, I will give you what you want. Congratulations, host, on getting rid of one of the villains in the novel. If you did, it will ruin the story even more. You have earned 1000 coins, so you have 2100 that you can use in the store.
You can also choose a legendary skill if you don't have one. You want.
(Another thing, in fact, the gang did not bully Siron and kill Sebastian, but what actually happened is that one of the main heroes in the story was bullied by them at the instigation of the original Siron. Hehe hehe hehe, it made you kill your biggest ally in the novel.)
Do you want to use the store and see the latest skills?].
"Damn you system"
Siron started walking out of the hall and out of the place, Aista was looking at him but he didn't even look at her and continued walking proudly until he reached the classroom.
The academy's time is divided into two times, morning: there is practical training in magic or swords, and afternoon: there is teaching of the basics such as physics, chemistry, technical magic and others.
"Tell me, System, can you advise me to take a good skill?"
Siron didn't trust the System, especially when it lied to him a while ago, but he couldn't give up on helping him completely.
He still needed something to help him, especially because of his ignorance in the story.
[We have three legendary-level abilities, and your body can handle three abilities at the current level.
1- Royal Voice Skill 100 coins.
2- Fast Healing Skill 100 coins.
3- Master of Economy 100 coins.
What do you choose?].
"All three."
After reading the names and knowing the meaning of his strength, he paid 300 novel coins.
