Chapter 228: Chapter 228

TL: Zimmings

I am well aware that Mina possessed vast amounts of divine power.

‘However, I’ve never heard of it being more powerful than the original emperor.’

Adrian was the one who possessed the greatest divine power in my first life. If Mina’s power had surpassed Adrian’s before, the temple would have made a big deal out of it.

‘It’s different this time……’

I clenched my fists tightly.

‘It’s because of me. Neliard bestowed greater power on Mina than before.’

A person from another world with tremendous divine power.

She also appeared along with an ancient artifact, and was born on February 29th.

‘She is a person who will make the temple vie for.’

Until now, the temple’s glory has not been revived because of me. They have lost the public’s sentiment because of incidents related to me over and over again.

But since they announced me as a child of fate, they couldn’t get rid of me.

However, a person from another world born on February 29 with a divine power that surpasses me has appeared.

For the temple, it doesn’t matter if Mina is real or fake.

It is only important that there is someone who can calm the situation down by taking away the authority I exercised as a child of fate.

‘It would be better if she was real.’

They will take this chance to announce her while the news about me was still out there.

“But why did Mina enter Odis? Shouldn’t the temple take care of her?”

“Since she has no nationality, she is coveted by all countries. That’s why they decided to protect her at Odis Academy, which is like a neutral zone.”

At Henry’s words, Isaac twisted his lips.

“Only the temple would be excited. Since she has that much divine power, the temple must be demanding that the imperial family and nobles must help them.”

Henry nodded.

“If the temple brings her to the empire, it will be a great feat, and the temple’s influence within the empire will grow again.”

“My head hurts.”

At that moment, a man with copper skin appeared from the student council room.

“How long are you going to talk there? We have a meeting. You, the little sister, please go now. Only Elysiano Class can enter here.”

Isaac frowned and put his arm around my shoulder.

“My little sister will be joining the Elysiano Class soon!”

“They’ll have to see her grades for the first semester to know.”

Even in the Odis Academy, only the top 1% will be able to join Elysiano Class. Only royalties and some heirs from the noble family are eligible to join. But, if their grades in the first semester of their first year do not reach the minimum, their admission will be cancelled.

“My sister is smart.”

As Isaac opened his eyes, a purple-haired man with black-rimmed glasses appeared next to the copper-skinned man.

“Only geniuses can be admitted here.”

“She’s always the top at the seminary!”

“Do you think other people can achieve that?”

Isaac lowered his head, sighed and slowly raised his head.

“Do you want to die?”

Then he said, “If you get caught, you’re dead, you bastards!” and ran into the door.

I blinked my eyes with a puzzled expression. Then Henry gently stroked my hair.

“I’ll visit you again in the evening.”

“Yes…….”

After Henry entered, I left the building. When I went down the stairs, Emeline called me, “Blaine” and ran towards me.

“How are you? Isn’t that ‘the girl’ you were talking about before?”

“Huh ……?”

“Hm, when was it? On our vacation last year, the day you drank raspberries thinking it was juice. I think it’s when you’re drunk and talked about your previous life?”

“I-is that so…….?”

“So is it true?”

“Well…….”

As I muttered my words, Emeline grabbed my shoulder.

“You want to fool me too? The students are going crazy. The empire will do more. They’re already saying they’re going to push you away.”

Just then,

“Leblaine! Emeline!”

Sandra came towards us, waving her hand among a group of students.

Seeing that all of the students’ ties were light blue, they seemed to be freshmen just like us.

‘That’s right. We were supposed to eat together.’

Emeline seemed to want to talk to me alone more, but I pulled Emeline’s arm and told Sandra.

“Let’s go eat.”

Sandra said, “Come on, come on.” and guided us.

“Is this academy very big? We could get lost.”

“Right? It’s bigger than any other castle…”

While chatting with the students and heading to the dining room, I found Mina sitting on a bench.

She pointed at me and exclaimed, “Oh!” Then she came towards me.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Leblaine!”

For a moment, I felt as if I had returned to my first life.

When I couldn’t answer, Emeline tapped my shoulder. Then I came to my senses and answered, “Ah… yes…”

‘Wake up. This is an academy not a temple. My family name is Dubblede not Amity.

Mina smiled brightly.

“I’m sorry, were you surprised when someone you didn’t know spoke to you? I know you from a priest? Anyway, some people in white clothes let me know. A child with brown curly hair and blue eyes like jewels is a child of fate, the same as me.”

Then she whispered, “Actually, I saw your portrait.” cheerfully.

“I was a little nervous because there were only people I didn’t know, but it’s nice to see you who are similar to me.”

“Is that so…….”

“Are you going to eat now? If it’s okay, can I go with you?”

Emeline widened her eyes and mouthed, ‘Say no.’ as she pursed her lips.

Mina, who could not see Emeline, looked at the students with a slightly nervous expression.

Another student answered her instead.

“Of course. Let’s go together.”

“Alan, you can’t answer. Miss Leblaine-”

“The purpose of coming to this school is to build connections. It’s good for us to know two children of fate, and it’s good for them too when we get to know each other.

“But……!”

“Right, Leblaine? Can I go too?”

People’s eyes turned to me.

After being silent for a while, I nodded slowly, and Mina’s expression brightened. Emeline, on the other hand, sighed.

Mina entered the cafeteria with a smile as she joined the group of students.

Emeline and I were a few steps away from the students, then Emeline glanced at me.

“She’s already called the new child of fate, what do you do if she ask for a meal together?”

“If I rejected, they will think I’m keeping Mina in check. Then the rumours will be harsher. It’s a fight between children of fate. It would be difficult if this rumor spreads to the empire.”

“That bitch, I really don’t like her. Why did she approach you? It’s like she’s trying to make more rumours.”

“She fell into this world. She must be anxious, as she said, she feels familiar with me because we have something in common. And Mina…… is not a bad kid.”

“What’s wrong with being unrelated? Leblaine is my sister. If you mock her as a fake one more time in the future, I won’t stand still!”

“Blaine, I know you are trying hard. So I respect you. You need to retaliate when you’re attacked, okay?”

Recalling the memories of my first life, I lowered my head.

If she had been a bad person, I would have hated her to my heart’s content, but that girl is a good person.

A very nice person who is the true child of fate.

Emeline said with a frown.

“She’s not a bad kid, but she sacrificed you?”

“If the position had been the other way around, that child would also be sacrificed without hesitation. That child is simply kind, and… she was like the Duke of Amity’s real daughter.”

Mina, who entered the cafetaria first, said, “Come quickly!” and gestured towards me.

After receiving our food, we occupied a large table and started eating.

“My name is Sandra. And my aptitude is magic.”

“I’m Emeline. Like I said before, I had a special admission because I am a commoner. I do not intend to hide that I am a commoner. My aptitude is administration.”

“Ah…… commoner…….”

Awkward laughter erupted from among the students. Emeline ate the salad with a nonchalant expression. This reaction was as expected but I was so proud of Emeline.

‘Emeline has grown.’

When she was a beggar, her goal was to find her father and become a noble.

Even at the seminary, she was ashamed of her status, so she rushed at anyone when the word commoners came out of their mouth.

However, here, she is not ashamed of being a commoner and speaks proudly.

I was going to introduce myself to divert my attention away from Emeline, but Mina opened her mouth before me.

“I am Mina. I heard we’re in the same grade, but we are different ages? I am 17 years old, blood type AB, Pisces.”

This child cheerfully tried to cover up for Emeline. One of the students asked.

“Pisces?”

“They didn’t have one here? Constellation?”

“There are no constellations, but guardian star. Depending on the date of birth, the time and the region, very few people are the same.”

“Ah, I think I heard it before.”

Mina took out her identity card from her bosom.

It was an identification plate with the country, date of birth, guardian star, and name written on it as the object that Chul-soo said [it’s like a passport!].

As Mina is from another world, the nationality column is blank, but other parts are recorded.

“Is this it?”

“God’s Star……!”

When the students saw Mina’s identification card, they shouted in amazement.

“You are God’s star, it’s the first time I see it.”
