Chapter 79

What an idiot

Roger's sudden punch completely stunned Rupa.

He lay half-reclined on the ground, one hand covering his swollen face, the pain bringing tears to his eyes.

"You...you dare hit me? Even my dad has never hit me!"

Rupa pointed at Roger, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How dare a lowly commoner attack him, a noble celestial being?

"I'm not your daddy, why should I give in to you?"

Roger scoffed.

That punch felt really good.

For a talent that doesn't even exist, they have to please a group of spoiled aristocrats.

Does that mean he'll have to beg on his knees?

He's a stubborn person who refuses to admit defeat, doesn't listen to authority, and is unwilling to submit to authority.

He just can't kneel down because his legs aren't very flexible.

As for the system's tasks, I wish it all the best.

Rogge looked up at the other students in the classroom.

At first, everyone stared in shock, but after noticing Roger's gaze, their expressions turned disgusted.

"..."

Great, you've successfully ruined the first impression of the new school year.

The entire class immediately started to have a negative impression of him.

It perfectly fits his character as a failed Avenger.

Roger felt nothing; he even wanted to laugh.

It's not like we haven't experienced it before.

It was just a limited-time remake of the entrance exam for Dongcheng University.

Not long after, the homeroom teacher appeared and took the three troublemakers, Rogge, to the office.

"Tell me, who did it?"

The homeroom teacher said with a cold and stern expression.

"Teacher, he started it."

Rupa pointed at Roger, accusing the villain of making the first accusation.

"I just gave him a light push, and he immediately swung his fist at me. Everyone else saw it!"

"is that so?"

The homeroom teacher looked at Luo Ge.

"It's true that I punched him in the face."

Rogtan readily admitted this.

Before Rupa could even show a triumphant smile, he suddenly stood up and righteously accused the other party.

"Because this bastard is questioning the legitimacy and authority of our Royal Academy!"

"What?"

Rupa stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and Ira, who dared not speak, was also dumbfounded.

I can't understand why Rogge would say that.

Only the homeroom teacher's expression remained unchanged.

"Go on."

"He said I used underhanded means to get into Class 1, and that I used my Celestial Clan status to oppress us mortals, trampling on the academy's teaching philosophy of 'equality for all and the supremacy of talent'."

Rogge clenched his fist in his chest, his tone becoming increasingly impassioned.

"I am just an ordinary citizen with no reputation to speak of, but the Royal Academy is a world-class institution of higher learning. If it is rumored that they admitted ordinary citizens through shady means, it will undoubtedly cause immeasurable damage to the Royal Academy's upright reputation and image."

"What's even more chilling is that he completely trampled on the Royal Academy's teaching philosophy, which has remained unchanged since its founding! 'Equality for all and the supremacy of talent' is the cornerstone of our academy, and countless students like me have come here because of this reputation."

"Yet he uses his Celestial Clan identity outside the academy to oppress students, disregarding the academy's core principles; he's practically undermining the very foundation of our Royal Academy!"

"As a student of the Royal Academy, I will never allow him to slander our academy!"

"..."

After hearing Rogge's impassioned speech, Rupa was completely dumbfounded.

A mouth that could originally only fit one egg can now fit a whole nest.

He clearly only wanted to let ordinary people know what hierarchy is, so how did it turn into slandering the academy?

Was he wrong?

The homeroom teacher stared at Lupa with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, his already cold demeanor was amplified by an extremely murderous aura.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from his homeroom teacher, Rupa was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat and could barely speak.

"I...I don't...no, I didn't..."

He wanted to deny it forcefully, but he dared not speak out because of the teacher's intimidating gaze.

This indirectly confirms that Rogge was right.

So Rupa cried.

"Waaah... I'm sorry... I was wrong..."

"..."

Roger was speechless.

This guy is too fragile.

No wonder they are pampered aristocrats.

In the predetermined fate, because Rupa falsely accused him first, Roger was the one who suffered in silence.

However, he didn't burst into tears. Instead, he stubbornly fought back against Lupa and his homeroom teacher.

"Today is the first day of school, so I will not punish you for now, but—"

The homeroom teacher spoke in a cold tone, then suddenly his gaze swept sharply over Rogge and Rupa, and he said, word by word.

"I don't want this to happen again."

"Yes."

Rupa left the registrar's office dejectedly.

The homeroom teacher gave Roger a deep look.

"You should go too."

……

Back in the classroom, as expected, the other students were all secretly observing Roger and his two companions.

After being spotted by Roger, they all avoided his gaze.

It's clear that they want to distance themselves from Rogge.

When the homeroom teacher arrived at the classroom, he did not mention the conflict between Roger and Rupa. Instead, he directly emphasized the Royal Academy's teaching philosophy, requiring everyone to let their talent and achievements speak for themselves.

The students present were mostly from royal or celestial families.

Many people glanced at Roger, who was sitting in the corner, upon hearing this.

They seemed wary of Rogge, thinking he was a madman.

Otherwise, what ordinary person would dare to go against the celestial nobles like this?

Rogge accepted the status quo.

He is no longer someone who hesitates or looks back.

Since he had chosen the path of failure destined for him, he decided to see it through to the end, until he finally made the dead end work.

……

After the homeroom teacher left, Class 1 fell into an awkward silence.

"Oh."

A boy chuckled, breaking the silence.

He is the third prince of the Holy Emperor Kingdom, with an extremely noble status, and can be considered the leader of the entire class.

"Since the teacher has said that, let's all get along well from now on."

The Third Prince eased the atmosphere in the class with just a few words.

He smiled warmly.

"Whether you are royalty or a commoner, from the moment you enter the Royal Academy, you are all equal classmates. I hope that everyone in Class One can work together to build a great class community."

"Your Highness is right."

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of what they were really thinking, they all chimed in, taking the opportunity to get close to the Third Prince.

However, at that moment, a sharp and sarcastic voice rang out.

"The lower-class mortals are so vulgar and rude, they completely lower the standard of our class. I feel uncomfortable all over when I'm with them."

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a petite girl.

Roger recognized her; if he remembered correctly, she was Princess Ling Sha of the Spirit Kingdom.

Princess Lingsha, perhaps due to her personality, unconsciously made sarcastic remarks.

"..."

The classroom fell silent instantly.

Many people were flattering the Third Prince, but suddenly someone contradicted them, which made them somewhat embarrassed.

"Ah...ah..."

Princess Lingsha was speechless.

She realized she might have said something inappropriate, and her face immediately turned red.

"..."

What an idiot.

Roger chuckled inwardly.

He was well aware that the children of the royal family entering the Royal Academy for further study was related to the right of succession to the throne.

Upon entering the academy, the third prince needs to establish good relationships with various powerful and noble families, while also recruiting talent and building his own power base.

His every action, like that of the other princes and princesses, would be reported to the emperor of the Holy Empire.

Therefore, in order to stand out among all the royal daughters, one must demonstrate the necessary leadership and management abilities.

Princess Lingsha's sarcastic remarks were undoubtedly undermining the Third Prince.
