Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 41.3

“I see. It’s helpful. By the way, what does it mean that the Viscount’s family is the lowest? I don’t really understand it because I’m from a rural village serving the Count’s family.”

“Was that so? In simple terms, the height of a noble’s position is in the order of Count, Viscount, and Baron. Above that, there are the royal family and the Duke family connected to it. It’s okay to think that the Count’s family is the highest normally.”

“With such vast land as his territory, the Emblam Count’s family is indeed a major house.”

“Usually, nobles are like this, but there are three other ways to become a noble. One is to become a kingdom knight. The second is to achieve some great merit. The third is to buy it with money. All these grant the title of Viscount. However, only the recipient can own it and it cannot be inherited by their descendants. So, the three of us gathered here are not much different from commoners.”

“I see. So, are children of viscounts looked down upon by usual nobles?”

“Huh? Well, of course, right?”

I knew it! That makes sense… This is how these nobles conduct their politics. No one would respect someone just for buying their way or becoming a knight.

“I think Princess Knights receive similar treatment, so be careful.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

Well, if things get tough, I’ll just use our young lady as a shield. Yeah, yeah.

Apparently, the three of them arrived a few days ago and decided on their favorite beds in order of arrival.

I ended up with the remaining bed on the left side.

For the next few days, I familiarized myself with the academy and its surroundings.

By the way, entering each other’s opposite-sex dorms is strictly forbidden, but going up to the entrance is fine. It seems not too difficult to ask the dorm head to call someone, as our young lady and Rin always came to fetch me.

And then, the day of enrollment arrived.

Gathered in the auditorium, I sat next to our young lady as a Princess Knight, while Rin seemed to be waiting in the maids’ waiting room.

From the front seats in front of us, a man turned around and looked at us with a contemptuous expression.

“Long time no see, Lord Geira.”

“Wow, you’re still as big as ever!”

Hey, at least greet us properly. Our young lady went out of her way to greet you! Do you think anything goes just because you’re engaged?

Of course—-the surrounding nobles also saw that scene, and some even laughed.

Ah… This atmosphere… Everyone knows that our young lady wasn’t born into a noble family but as the daughter of a maid.

This fiancé probably sees her only as a tool from the start… that’s why he acts this way.

Poor our young lady… Even at home, it was hard for her, and now it seems like the academy will be the beginning of her hell?

It doesn’t seem likely that the cheerful spring I imagined for our young lady will come true.

And then, when the entrance ceremony began, an elderly male principal gave a speech on stage, and all the teachers briefly introduced themselves.

Finally, called as the representative of new students, was a long-straight red-haired female student.

She seems to be a noblewoman from the count’s family—-and she looks quite strong at first glance.

In fact, could she be stronger than Mr. Cless and the others? I heard that Rin is also quite strong in her age group, but compared to her… No, it’s not good to judge strength just by presence. In this world, you can become strong with any profession, and she might have been born with a strong profession.

“I am Diana A. Rudelagan. Today, I will speak as the representative of the new students.”

Her brisk speech and dignified appearance make her seem very popular, I think.

However—-I could hear the quiet voices of the nobles behind her.

“Hmph. Nobles tarnishing their image…”

“A woman swinging a sword is barbaric.”

Ah… This… That person is also one of those outcasts.
