Hakushaku Reijo ha Chito Tensei Mono Vol 1 Chapter 1

There is an academy in Heinz Kingdom’s Royal Capital, it is a place where people with magical power must attend, Heinz Academy, an academy with dormitories system.

Because people who can use magic are very valuable in this world, one must go to this school for the relations of management upbringing from 12 years old until 15 years old with the exception of the old one regardless of social status if the magical power had more then a fixed quant.i.ty.

Even without social status, commoners have extremely little magical power then the students who were sons or daughter of a n.o.ble because of hereditary relations.

________________________________________

    The Count’s daughter Emil Vorst 13 years old, is partic.i.p.ating in a party for closing the first years of school year. Hair’s bang that cut right at eyebrow,  with dark blue hair dangled on both sides of her face, length reach until her waist and tied like a horse’s tail. Big purple eyes that slant upward gave a neatly air, straight nose ridge and small lips, Emil evaluated her appearance as superior.

    Emil has been a wallflower since the party started.

Judging from Emil’s social status as a Count’s daughter, it’s not weird if some male students to talk to her for creating a connection in this opportunity, but there’s a bad rumor about Emil spread among the male students that made them don’t want to get involved with her.

    “Is the party going to end?”, Emil look around the party’s hall where people started to decrease and look at a clock.

    “15 more minutes until promised time. I have to leave now if I’m walking from here to the meeting place.”

Emil put down the gla.s.s she hold and leave the party.

    A party for students are allowed, it’s a custom to start it at afternoon and end it before evening. When Emil wear a coat and leaving, sun already set and made outside more dim. At the top of the small hill in the school ground there’s a big tree over a 100 years old, the students called it and used it as a place for love confession or a place to doing a discussion. When there’s a falsehood in anything a black leaf seems to fall from the tree. It’s one of the urban legends the students believe and spread it among senpai to kouhai until now.

    With a mix of antic.i.p.ation and anxiety, Emil arrived below the and looked up at the tree. 10 days ago, Emil received a letter from unknown sender 「Please come to Tree of Truth when the party end at 18:00. 」

    Because of shyness, Emil didn’t have any boy friends. On the contrary, Emil’s followers were guarded her from male students to talk to her. It’s not a problem that need to be discussed, so Emil only think this is about a love confession. Emil felt her face became red because the development that goes like a fairy tale.

“You came, Miss Vorst?”

    Emil turned around to a man who called her family name. There she saw three male students, and a female student behind them.  They are all a famous figures within the academy, on the left is a son of a Knight Duke, Gilbert Grouge. Short pointy red hair and sharp blue eyes, tall figure with solid build, a Knight Apprentice. He was glaring at Emil.

In the middle is Heinz Kingdom’s Third Prince, Khais Louvis Heinz. Short silky blond hair and jade eyes, he was like a prince from a picture book, but now there is a strong pressure emitted from him.

On the right is the youngest First Cla.s.s Magician, Christopher Rozen. Straight light blue hair that cut right around his shoulder with big golden eyes. His age is comparatively younger but in his hand he was grasped a wand to use magic.

And the girl behind the Prince is a commoner that attract a lot attention because of her ability as a light magic user, Risty Siltat. Pink-brown wavy hair reached to her shoulder and light blue eyes, She was held to Khais’s sleeve with troubled expression.

Emil started to grasp the situation and ask them.

“To call me on a place like this, just what kind of business did you all have with me?”

The situation was on contrary to her delusion, she sighed.

“Wha-!! What kind of business you said!!”

“Gilbert, can you leave this to me?”

Gilbert who suddenly worked up about to went and grab Emil, but Khais step forward and stop him.

“Miss Vorst, we called you because we want to hear the truth from you. About the despicable deed you did to Risty.”

Khais said that in calm manner, but his expression were firm and look at Emil.

On the other hand Emil who didn’t know anything about this despicable deed  was tilting her head.

“Your Highness Heinz, even if you said despicable deed, I do not know anything about it. In the first place, Siltat-sama and I are in a different cla.s.s and we never had any conversation before.”

“Are you planning to be feign ignorance? Gilbert saw it when Risty tried to gave you a cake and you pushed her down and trampled the cake on the ground, Christopher heard it too about your followers when they bad mouthing Risty, when Risty were covered in garbage I saw you was around her. In addition I heard Risty got hara.s.sed from you. I want to clearly hear the truth under this Tree of Truth!”

    Emil tried to recall her memory. Certainly during this 1 year there is a female student who fall and covered in mud, and covered in garbage too. But, Emil didn’t knew if that female student was Risty. A commoner who can use light magic Risty s.h.i.+ltat, Emil only knew about that much but she never had any interest on Risty’s appearance.

“…. Your Highness Heinz, certainly there is a female student who fell down near me. But I did not do anything about that.”

“Ha!!? When I go helped Risty, only you who was around! It was clearly you used magic to made her fell!!”

“Grouge-sama, you knew that I cannot use magic, and said that I used magic?”

Gilbert was worked up at Emil’s reply, but Emil still told them she can’t use magic with self-mockery.

“…. There’s a magical power… but can’t use magic….”

Christopher who was silent until now muttered.  Emil enrolled this academy because she had magical power, but can’t used magic.

“It is as Rozen-sama says. I was allowed to enrolled this academy because I have magical power. And, there is a conversation about alumnus who was commoners with my friends, but I never meet those commoners face to face. And there is a time when I told some commoner to stop eating while walking too, but I do not know who I was spoke to.”

    The three male students had a bad expression, and Risty’s face slowly palled.

“Aa, she tried to made me looks like a bad guy. I do not have time to playing with this worthless farce anyway so let’s end it here.”

Emil slowly walked to Risty.

“Siltat-sama, am I truly did something to you?”

Emil steadily walked to Risty. Surprised, Risty’s shoulder started to trembled.

“Don’t get close to Risty!!!”

“Gil!!”

“Kyaaa!!?”

With a voice that louder than before, Gilbert pushed Emil’s shoulder before Khais can stop him. As a Count’s daughter, Emil has received some training in swordsmans.h.i.+p and martial arts but because of her high-heels shoes, she lost balance and falling with the back of her head hit the tree and lost consciousness.
