‘Somebody…’

‘Somebody has to do something about it…’

The boy thought .

‘I have to do something about it…’

He was an ordinary boy with no particular characteristics among the apprentice knights in the northern quarters . His grades in academics are lower than average, his mock battle record is higher than average, his family is not noble, but they are a reasonably wealthy family . His father works as a civil servant or something in the kingdom . He doesn’t have a lot of friends, not a lot of friends, but also doesn’t have a wide range of friends . However, he does have normal friends and close friends .

He is a very ordinary boy . So, if he ever appeared in a story after this, his presence will be buried among the others . Therefore, there is no particular reason to remember his name .

However, since he appeared in this story, it would be inconvenient for him not to have a name, so I will call him Ius (tentative) .

Ius(tentative) thought . I had to do something about this critical situation that I visited in the northern quarters… In the cafeteria of North Quarters, the same usually nameless boys like him were hanging out in front of it .

Normally, the boys were there casually chatting about stupid things, but today their expressions were filled with anguish . They are looking at a paper that was written on the rankings for one of their most important events, their manhood rankings .

(TlNote: I…am I still on earth… what have I just encountered… I can’t >///

In that event, which was only five days away from being decided, the points were tallied up every day and a piece of paper with the rankings lined up was put up .

“Damn it! He’s stretching the point again!”

Again, the reason section is blank…

“Hey, you! Why did you let me in!”

“That’s not…”

“Hey, don’t blame the guy who let me in . Everyone is in the same boat . ”

There was something unsettling in the air between the boys . They were looking at each other with eyes filled with intense, swordsman-like light . The name of the current number two in the provisional ranking is the one they are looking at with a sly look on their faces . It is the name of a boy who belongs to the northern lodge .

A boy walked up to Ius (provisionally) from the group and whispered in his ear, “The gap is closed again . ”

“We’re closing the gap again . ”

“How many points…?”

“320 points . ”

“780 points to the deadline…”

He is Ius(tentative)’s best friend, an equally immersive boy . Since he is not going to appear in the following stories, I’ll call him Lutus(tentative) .

Ius(tentative) and Lutus(tentative) exchanged words with each other in whispers so that people around them wouldn’t hear them . This is the only way . In this situation… . . Not everyone can be trusted .

“The gap is closing in on us . At this rate, that guy could end up winning the championship . ”

Anxiety escaped from the mouth of the boys talking in the cafeteria . The boy sitting diagonally across from me replied with a look of anxiety, but I’m sure he’s still okay . No, but it’s still okay, isn’t it? There are still over three thousand points between you and Xelius .

The current manhood rankings had Zelius in first place with 7,460 points, and the boy in question in second place with 4,320 points . There appeared to be quite a gap between them . However, the boys’ faces were not bright .

”No, Kooine is extending his points quite a bit this time . ”

“Yeah, you increased your points quite a bit in the Northeast Kendo tournament . I got in there, too . ”

“Kooine is in fourth place with 2,360 points . He’s going to put all those points on himself on the last day and roll up Zelius . That gives him, in effect, 6680 points . ”

“What? You’re going to make me give it all away?”

“Just because Kooine can’t stand up to him doesn’t mean that you’re a man . ”

They, too, have finally realized . That there’s almost no respite now . In the rankings of masculinity, I didn’t think it was possible for an unmanly act to get points for an unmanly act . No matter what you think of its existence, he is here to win . It’s a nightmare for the participants of the Manhood Rankings, which were set up to help men become more manly . The boys remembered that the events of two days earlier had started it all .

‘Perfect?’

“What’s that?”

The day before yesterday, a small, blond-haired boy said this in front of the boys in the north dormitory, who had won the Northeast Kendo tournament and were in a happy mood after the party was over . In his hand was a book that no one had ever read through called the North Quarters Dormitory Rules .

The boy who called out to everyone while holding the book above his head said in his usual friendly and cheerful voice .

“I’m a voluntary dormitory discipline officer . Apparently, there was a system in the dormitory, but everyone didn’t know about it . So, they didn’t decide on it . Their role is to warn people if they are making disorderly behavior . ”

“Yeah, I don’t need that . ”

To the boys, a person who enforce public morals is just a smoking gun they didn’t want to see . There was no way that the boy was going to look good when he said he was going to make a perfect decision . However, the boy gave a gentle smile and said to everyone .

”Is that so? You may not like the idea of being cracked down on, but on the other hand, it can be said that the restrictions are loosened by the people around you when you say you’re being voluntarily cracked down on . Especially, since I’ve been enjoying myself too much lately, I may be under the scrutiny of my superiors . ”

“The general affairs staff at the north dormitory may change as well . If they think you are doing whatever you want instead of being someone who is strict, you may find yourself restricted in many things . ”

“So, I think it’s better to make something like that, even if it’s just to dress lightly . In fact, it might be easier for them to act freely in the future . ”

“It’s just us apprentice knights who will be policing it . ”

With that, the boy gave a teasing smile and winked at everyone . His words were theoretical and certainly seemed to be of benefit to them .

“So, me and Kooine will try to take it lightly first . Let’s give it a go, shall we?”

The boy popped his little chest with a confident pat . The boys thought about that gesture for a moment . It certainly seems like a very good idea if they can avoid the risk of anger from those above by just voluntarily giving each other a light warning . Above all, as he said himself, heath, who suggested it is one of their own . He wouldn’t make them look bad . The boys thought so .

“Then let’s give a round of applause to all those in favor of me and Kooine taking over as prefects . If it’s more than a majority, it’s a vote of confidence . ”

The apprentice knights clapped lightly at the proposal, which was cut off in the atmosphere like a light conversation before dinner .

”Okay, everyone agrees! Thank you! Well then, I’ll start doing a bit of public morals work tomorrow and make sure I have a track record to report to my superiors . ”

“Oh!”

“Good luck!”

The boys gave a light cheer . They didn’t realize that what they had done earlier was a deal with the devil .
