The Lady Who Was Rejected with 'I Love Someone Else' Turned Out to Be the Strongest Sorceress – The Fate of the Prince Who Abandoned Her and the Lady Who Found Freedom - Episode 23

“Hey, Alfred. What is the meaning of this?”

With the exam results in hand, Vanessa asked with dissatisfaction. I also looked at the results and wondered. It’s strange that Eleanor, of all people, top the class.

In the last class, it seems that Vanessa had a lot of trouble. Actually, it turned out that Eleanor has quite decent skills. Even so, I still thought it was strange. After all, she was supposed to have average grades until recently.

“I wonder what this means? It’s definitely strange for Eleanor to be at the top.”

“That’s right! And that’s not all. All of that woman’s followers are in the top ranks. They must be cheating behind the scenes.”

Vanessa told me that the kids whose names are at the top are Eleanor’s entourage. Indeed, this is quite unnatural.

“Because of that, my rank has dropped too! It makes me look like a fool for taking things seriously. Please report this to the academy. I absolutely can’t forgive this!”

“Indeed, that’s unfair.”

If what Vanessa is saying is true, it would be unforgivable. Could it be that they’re doing this as revenge for being suspected of bullying? This is a bit too much. Are they even getting the academy involved?

I felt that, as a prince, I needed to verify this matter.

“Hey, let’s ask the people at the academy.”

“Please, Lord Alfred!”

I decided to use the prince’s authority to summon the academy officials and hear what they had to say.

“Isn’t this strange? Are you sure this is correct?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

While glaring at those who came to explain the matter, I questioned them, but the principal answered calmly.

“Last time, a student who only got average scores suddenly being at the top is impossible. We need to properly correct the grades.”

“I’ll say it again, there is no mistake with these grades.”

“I see. If you refuse to acknowledge it, we have our own plans. We can fire the school officials and replace them with those who don’t engage in misconduct.”

Saying that, the principal flinched. After all, did he have a guilty conscience?

“If you are not satisfied, we will conduct a retest.”

“Another exam, huh?”

The teacher who came with the principal made a suggestion. I’ll think about it. To confirm once more, I’ll have them take the test. Well, that should be fine.

“Understood. But this time, make sure to give him a difficult exam. That way, his true abilities should become clear.”

“I understand. So, please.”

Since they caused such a problem, I can’t accept anything less than a lower rank than usual. I didn’t say it out loud, but when I instructed them to make it happen, the academy director bowed his head. With this, the desired result should be achieved.
