Chapter 78
“Gilles, what do you think after reading this?”
“I can tell her head’s full of nothing but rainbows and flowers, that’s for sure . ”
“Seems that way . And this topic! Of course she’d choose something like this . ”
“Methods to Improve the Conditions of the Impoverished Village… . ”
After obtaining the essay, we headed off to Gilles’s room to carefully read it over . And after a single perusal, I can tell that it was extremely well-written . The theories are explained remarkably well, and her logic appears sound . Certainly, I can tell that this deserves a good grade . The only problem is… . there’s no way any of these methods could be put to practice .
She doesn’t seem to know a thing about how the world really works .
When you add in the context, forget bothering with corrections, it would be easier to just rewrite it . If the grades for this were based off of realistically being able to follow the instructions, I would give her a 0 .
And that leaves me with a huge dilemma . How am I supposed to correct a person who is this far off the mark?
“Will we go visit Gramps today?”
“I don’t think we’ll have time . It’s more important that we start brainstorming ways to guide Liz-san onto the right path, away from all this idealistic nonsense . ”
“True . We’ve really got our work cut out for us . ”
We read through her essay one more time .
Seriously, this is why I find the heroine so hard to deal with . If bettering the conditions of the impoverished village were this easy, then it would have been done already . There would be zero reason to keep pondering the subject .
Her assumptions are all just too far-fetched .
The backbone for this whole paper is operating under the assumption that human beings are fundamentally good creatures . So all of her theories are based on the fact that humans don’t move due to their own desires and greed, but rather with the purpose of bettering mankind .

She really is the complete opposite of me .
It’s certainly a novel idea that deserves thought in passing, but to think that it can be put into practice is way too naive .
“It looks like tomorrow I’m going to have to show her just how terrible a person can be . ”
“Yeah, I don’t think there’s any other way . ”
We both nod our heads in agreement .
The battle is about to start for real . It’s finally happening .
I steel myself, bringing all of my wits and emotions into order, and then I start off to find Liz-san . Since today’s the academy’s tea party day, she should probably be in the rose garden at this time .
“Isn’t this academy a bit too extravagant?” Gilles remarks, glaring at the entrance to the rose garden .

“Yeah, probably . ”
“And just how much does it cost to maintain all of these roses?”
“I have no idea . Too much, I’m sure . Honestly, what I want to know is why an institution whose sole purpose should be education needs to have a whole day dedicated to tea parties anyway?” I tell him, a bit exasperated . “But anyway, let’s just head in . ”
We walk into the rose garden side-by-side .
From here on out, my goal is to completely ruin this little party . I feel a bit apologetic to everyone here who are currently enjoying themselves, but this is something I have to do in order to spread my notoriety… . I mean, in order to correct Liz-san’s way of thinking .
The moment we enter the garden, everyone’s eyes are all drawn our way .
“Ali,” Albert-Oniisama says, walking over to me .

I’m sorry, Oniisama . I don’t have the time to chat with you .
Completely ignoring his greeting, I walk right past him . And even without turning back, I can tell that his posture has become rigid .
Of course it would . Ignoring him like that is not only rude but probably hurtful as well, but I don’t have a choice . Liz-san has to remain my top priority right now .
Without sparing Albert-Oniisama a second glance, I walk straight towards her . As usual, all the typical members are present as well . The heroine truly does have a propensity for surrounding herself with knights in shining armor .
Duke-Sama is looking my way as if he can see right through me .
I wish he wouldn’t look at me like that . It’s like he knows exactly what I’m planning to do .
“Alicicha–“
“Liz-san, I’ll get right to the point . Do you really think that everyone is created equal?” I ask, cutting her off .
