Chapter 119
It’s been a while since Heath took over as Prefect . The boys were growing frustrated with Heath’s outbursts . In the cafeteria, these boys had gathered for a meeting . They had only one purpose .
To protect the north quarters’ pride in the manhood ranking—manhood .
(TlNote: fudge… I don’t know if this is time to regret not searching for a more chill word to replace this)
“Somehow, someway, we have to prevent him from being number one…”
“Yes! That’s right!”
There’s no way such foul sobriety should be allowed to go unchallenged in the Divine Masculinity rankings! The value of this northern quarter’s masculinity rankings will fall to the ground if that guy comes in first . Incidentally, Heath’s actions were not against the rules . The rules for manhood ranking were governed by the governor…
”When it comes to this, let’s collect all of our scores to Zelius! If you do, Heath has no chance . ”
“Okay, that’s it!”
“That’s right . He’s not gonna make it to the top!”
The boys were almost excited by the anti-Heath momentum, but there was a voice that stopped them .
“No, wait, boys,”
Among the boys who were gathered in the cafeteria, one boy stood up . He looked around at the faces of the boys who were about to score points to Zelius and said with a serious look on his face .
“It’s true, that guy’s actions are dirty . I can assure you that it’s not manly . ”
“But, that doesn’t mean that voting for Zelius just because of your rebellion against him is also manly behavior, does it? Manhood points are awarded to people who do manly things . If we broke that principle, we’d be just like that guy . ”
“That would render our manhood rankings meaningless . ”
“Damn, that’s true . ”
“That’s not very manly…”
“So, this isn’t the way to go…”
At the words of one boy, the boys’ resolve was unsuccessful . That night there was a boy in front of Heath’s room .
“You’ve done a really good job,” he said .
“Ah, ah…, so…!”
“I know . This is the stuff you’re promised . ”

With a hawkish gesture, Heath handed a letter to the boy .
“This is Jorianna and Nobu’s correspondence…!”
“That’s right . You said you’d like to correspond with one of the apprentice knights . You have beautiful handwriting, and you know a lot about Austerian literature . So, you fit the boy’s requirements . I’m sure he’ll be glad to send you back . ”
The boy who held it in his was excited, shaking the hand who said the one word that stopped those boys from rebelling . The boy looked around him warily and left the room, tucking the letter into his bosom as if it were important . Heath with a wicked smile and a troubled look on his face and Kooine at his back .
Ius and Lutus watched the scene, hiding in a corner of the corridor .
”Well, I didn’t expect…that he would betray us… . ”
Lutus looked back at the scene from earlier with an incredulous expression .
“It’s the Alucichan connection,”
Ius muttered to himself .
“Alucichan!”
That was the name of a new handmaid who was a bit plain and whiny, but also cute in that way, simple, kind, pure, with a cute smile and a cute little voice . A secretly popular name among the apprentice knights of the northern quarters .

”Oh, that guy has a large pipeline to Alucichan and her close handmaidens for some reason . One of the largest is in this northern quarters . ”
Ius told Lutus the information he had researched beforehand .
”Speaking of Alucichan and her group, they’re a bunch of cute little girls, even the royal palace’s maidservants, aren’t they!”
“That’s right . ”
Ius nodded with a serious expression .
”It’s a group of common people but neat and pretty Alucichan, Lorettchan, a strong older sister from the aristocracy who sometimes teases you but is kind at heart . Lorettchan’s hipster, but Karinchan, whose style is outstanding, and a group of other cute girls . ”
If he only wielded the power of a prefect, there would have been an uprising in the early evening and he would have been defeated . However, at the same time, he has the great power of Alucichan connection . He has almost a hand in connecting with the handmaidens who are reputed to be close to him even among the apprentice knights . This is a treasure beyond gold in our midst .
He didn’t just search the rooms to get our weaknesses and score points . I’m sure some of them have been promised to use the Alucia connection to interact with the girls and have been coaxed out of the room .
I mean… .
“There’s a traitor in our midst…”

Ius’s face was filled with bitterness .
This was the time when they should be united in defending their manhood ranking, but some of them had already betrayed each other . That scene was a stark reminder of that .
“Then, let’s hurry up and let everyone know!”
Ius shook his head at Lutus, who gave him an impatient look .
“It’s no good . It’s not a good idea to let people know about it at this stage as it will only cause distrust and needless confusion among your friends . Besides, the real-life people haven’t shown their faces yet . ”
“The real-life…?”
“That’s right . According to the information I got, he was planning to hold a tea party once a month with Lucia and her friends . The ratio of males to females is one to one . ”
“One-on-one!”
“There were five of us at that tea party, excluding Heath and Kooine . ”
Today’s orders were carried out by the little guys . The extent of correspondence with the girls, compared to a tea party with a one-to-one male and female ratio, is nothing more than a child’s play . The orders would also be a one-time thing for a price .
However, the five people who got the invitation to the tea party should be considered to be completely on the other side . And, they are probably following his orders and controlling our group .
“If we don’t expose them, we can’t stop his political machinations…”
