Chapter 12

"talking" (Mc to system) [System]

(Is this midget the person who bullied the original host?)

Engraged!

Her fist clenched!

Although Ifia didn't inherit the memories of the original host, and the system didn't install an empathy function, having seen the original ending, Ifia really wanted to punch this midget noble into the air!

After all, the original host's life had gradually improved after going through a hellish start. The result was the harassment from this short noble, causing her to fall back into an abyss of despair.

One mistake after another.

Although Ifia felt some anger and pity for the original host, considering that the other person was just an ordinary girl who had worked hard to jump from the slums to Pulis Academy, it was already quite an effort. If it were another girl, she might have collapsed outright.

However, now that she had become Ifia, there was no way she would let the original plot play out again.

If the midget noble dared to provoke her, she would knock him down!

Due to her strong aversion to the short noble, Ifia couldn't pretend to show a polite attitude. It was like seeing something disgusting, she curled her lips downward, her face expressing a desire to vomit, and without reservation, she rolled her eyes dramatically.

Seeing the midget noble visibly angered, Ifia turned her head with a satisfied expression.

Although offending a noble at Pulis Academy was not a good thing, Ifia was not afraid of the midget noble's retaliation… after all, no matter how formidable the noble was, could he compare to the daughter of the Duke's family?

She's hugging a golden thigh!

Even though it's not fully embraced yet…

The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work hard!

"Ifia, being able to share a dorm with Irene, your academic performance must be excellent. You should work hard in the upcoming exams, let the nobles know how formidable we commoners are."

Just as Ifia had just redirected her attention from the short noble, the group of academic elites beside her suddenly stopped their discussion. Following that, Fiona looked at Ifia with anticipation, her thick glasses unable to hide the admiration in her eyes.

Hearing Fiona's words, Irene and George also turned their gaze towards Ifia, who looked bewildered.

Pulis Academy's dorms are assigned based on entrance exam scores. Irene is among the top students among this year's commoners, ranking in the top three. Therefore, Ifia, who shares a dorm with her, naturally possesses considerable academic strength.

Even though Ifia just arrived for registration, she might make a splash in the exams!

Facing the expectant gazes of the three, Ifia nervously scratched her forehead, awkwardly chuckled a few times, attempting to bluff her way through.

Stop looking.

Academics are not her thing!

However, just as Ifia tried to quickly change the subject, trouble came knocking at the door.

"Hmph, what are a bunch of paupers dreaming of! You think you can surpass the nobles with your shallow background? Don't delude yourselves. Insects from the lower class should stay underground obediently, rather than crawling out to be a nuisance."

Before Ifia could respond to Fiona, her words were immediately interrupted by a sharp female voice.

Soon, an elegantly dressed noble girl walked over in anger. She slammed the folding fan in her hand onto Ifia's desk, making such a loud noise that Ifia felt her ears had suffered a heavy blow.

Ifia helplessly raised her hand to rub her ear. As the victim of this unjust calamity, she also took the opportunity to sneak a peek at the folding fan on the table. She silently evaluated it—completely bald, not as nice as Amelia's gold-thread embroidered folding fan.

Maybe because she was a simple person, she liked gold!

"Britney, don't think that just because you're a noble, you can insult us at will, at least not in Pulis Academy! If you're not satisfied, let's settle it through our exam scores!"

Facing Britney's provocation, Ifia remained calm, while Fiona became angry. Even Irene showed a furious expression, gritting her teeth and looking as if she wanted to fight.

(System, is the plot starting already?)

[Host, please rest assured, it's not.]

Ifia was slightly disappointed. Although this incident seemed to have been caused by her, it should have united them against a common enemy instead of standing aloof as they were now. In reality, the resentment between the nobles and commoners had been building up for a long time, like a balloon that burst with many contradictions erupting all at once!

Moreover, strictly speaking, she was also an unintended victim lying in the line of fire in this conflict.

After Fiona mistakenly thought she was a top student, she didn't even have a chance to say a word!

And now the situation had turned out like this…

"Exam scores? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think that having decent entrance exam scores means you can shine in exams at Pulis Academy? Come on, it's just because we nobles don't need to take exams to get admitted."

Britney sneered, her eyes fixed on Ifia as she spoke.

Normally, she wouldn't be so impulsive, as talking to these common bugs would lower her standards. However, the newcomer Ifia was too good-looking, making Britney feel a sense of crisis.

A soft, pure, and cute face. Also a voluptuous figure… men love this type the most.

Unlike Irene, who aimed to be the top of the grade, Britney's goal was clear. She wanted to be the most popular person among the freshmen.

Being a socialite among the nobles was not necessarily a derogatory term. At least for Britney, the daughter of a baron, making connections at Pulis Academy, especially attaching herself to a high-ranking single son of a noble, would elevate her status in the Sith Empire through marriage.

Compared to men who need to risk their lives to elevate their status, women just need to marry a good husband.

After entering Pulis Academy, Britney did achieve her desired outcome. With her beauty, she attracted the attention of many nobles and received a lot of conveniences and gifts. Because she genuinely benefited, Britney began to care about whether other women were more beautiful than her.

Now, looking at Ifia's gentle and delicate appearance, it happens to awaken a man's protective instinct.

Thinking this way, the more Britney looked at Ifia, the more displeased she felt. She clenched the folding fan in her hand, silently determined to drive this woman out of Pulis Academy. No one should stand in her way!

"Well then, why not make a bet? If a commoner gets first place in this exam, you have to apologize to us!"

Fiona was so angry that her face turned red and her neck thickened. Her words hit Britney right where it hurts. Britney was afraid that the other party might change her mind and hastily spoke, "You said it, but there's no need to apologize. The loser should just leave Pulis Academy."

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of you!"

"Hmph, don't cry and whimper unwilling to leave when the time comes, like a mangy dog."

In this way, Fiona and Britney, with a few words, directly confirmed a bet involving five people.

Ifia looked at them in confusion, not understanding why they included her. She was just an innocent bystander!

However, Irene was the female lead after all. No matter what setbacks and difficulties she faced, she would overcome them in the end. She would surely pass this test unharmed!

Thinking this way, after Britney left with her head held high like a proud swan, Ifia looked at Fiona and asked with anticipation, "Fiona, who has such good academic performance that gives you so much confidence?"

Originally, Ifia wanted to hear the name of the female lead from Fiona, but unexpectedly, Fiona stammered and seemed a bit guilty, saying, "Ifia, I believe you and Irene can definitely outperform those nobles and show them how capable you are!"

???

Ifia was shocked.

Not even a reliable candidate.

Is it still possible to withdraw now?
