As mentioned once before, Cedric and Alfin are twins, and they look very similar.
Even if Alfin's appearance is not the best in the empire, he is one of the top ones in the empire. One can only imagine Cedric's appearance.
There are even rumors that Cedric is cuter than Alphonse. With such a foundation, even if he starts to grow and transform from androgynous to male, it is enough to make most women feel ashamed.
As for Kurt, needless to say, the girls in the second branch have reached a consensus - he is prettier than the girls, with a foul-level face.
These two people standing together are definitely better than any so-called beautiful or handsome photos.
It made Yuna so jealous that she almost burst into tears.
Altina and Rean didn't react much. The former is not sensitive to this aspect, while the latter just wants to be more ordinary now, the more ordinary the better, so that he doesn't have to worry about being recognized by fans and causing a sensation when he goes out on the street.
p>
Fortunately, Kurt's depression was gone at the moment.
Just like Rean said, neither he nor the Fandel family wants much, and they don't value identity and status. What they care about is the connection between people.
Cedric apologized, even if he didn't explain the reason. Kurt felt refreshed, his IQ came back online, and he turned around and glared at Yuna.
"Please be careful not to be rude in front of His Highness, Yuna-san."
"Eh? Your Highness." Yuna tilted her head. Crossbell didn't call her that. She was extremely insensitive to this kind of thing.
At this moment, even Altina couldn't stand it any longer, and she sighed in a rare way: "This is Cedric Leiser Anor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Erebonia Empire."
"Huh?" Yuna finally reacted.
Cedric didn't care, and smiled: "You are so strange to me, you must be a foreigner or from a state. To be able to enter Class VII, you must be very capable. I look forward to your performance."
"Ah, yes, no, I dare not take it..."
Although Yuna usually looks carefree and quarrels with Rean and the empire, in fact, she has never met any big shots, but when she did meet them, she felt a little panicked.
"Miss Black Rabbit, maybe it's been a long time since I last saw you. I heard about you from Major Rufas, Major Rector. What happened in the past is in the past. Now you are Instructor Rean's student, and I look forward to your performance."<
/p>
"Understood." Altina nodded. She was at the opposite end of the spectrum from Yuna. Not to mention the crown prince, the entire royal family stood in front of her. Should she be expressionless or expressionless?
"This trip to the second branch is really the right one. There is no harm in being willful once in a while. I will come again. Next time it will not be just me but with the students from the main school. I hope there will be a good competition.
”
After saying that, Cedric left calmly, walking with a breeze, and left with the guards and Major Michael waiting in the corridor.
As soon as he left, Yuna immediately became lively: "You look amazing, but you are not a student like us."
"Yuna-san..." Kurt was completely speechless.
"Instructor, what is the competition?" Altina's focus is different.
Li En explained: "You made an agreement with His Highness before you came here. Class VII and His Highness's Class I will become competitors, competing with each other and growing together."
"With His Highness's Class I?" Kurt was stunned, "That's Class I. It is said that Class I selects the best candidates. Can we do it?"
"Huh, so what about Class I!" Yuna crossed her arms and said in dissatisfaction, "We are all students, so competition is competition."
"Well said, what we need is this momentum."
Rean cast an approving look. Yuna's shortcomings are also her strengths. No matter who the opponent is, I can't lose my momentum first.
"Is this also the tradition of the old Class VII?" Altina asked.
"That's right."
Rean nodded.
"At that time, Class I and Class VII were indeed in a competitive relationship. They competed many times including exams, actual combat, and cultural festivals."
Although she didn't think of this when she proposed it, Altina immediately remembered it after mentioning it.
Suddenly I miss the old Class I, I miss Patrick, I miss Phyllis.
"Let me ask, what is the result of the competition?" Yuna asked tentatively.
"Victory, we never lost once, not even once."
Mentioning this, Li En's face was full of pride, and he gave the students a look - you know.
"This is too high a request." Yuna couldn't bear it anymore.
"I don't require you to win all of them. After all, there were nine of us at the time, and then it became eleven, and you are only three now. But since you have to compete, you must work hard with a winning mentality - Kurt
, do you want to lose to His Highness?"
"I don't want to." Kurt shook his head decisively, for the reason he just mentioned.
"Where's Altina?"
"I don't care, because I won't lose." Altina said seriously, "I have completed the reserve of knowledge, combat experience, and all kinds of information. Miriam said that everyone in the old Class VII
Anyone can be an instructor, and as someone of the same model as her, of course I can too."
"Yal...you are so arrogant." Yuna couldn't help complaining.
"It's just a fact." Altina didn't care, her competitive spirit would always ignite in strange places.
Firstly, she didn’t want to lose to Miriam of the same model, and secondly, she didn’t want to give up her position as Rean’s first partner—she thought that she could do what the old Class VII could do.
I completely forgot that the reason why the old Class VII won was because the ones who were the best at fighting, had the best grades, were the quickest brains, had the biggest backgrounds, and had the strongest specialties - taking the cultural class as an example, Li En had calculated that he didn't care whether
Taking seventh place in the exam, the score is still below the average. Emma, Machias, and Jussis, the unbeatable top three in the academy, can all raise the average score. This is not a win, and it is too embarrassing.
p>
But even so, Rean is still not worried about the outcome of the duel.
Cedric found trouble many times before coming back, but failed every time.
There was nothing I could do, I had a bad mentality, and I only started to chase halfway. Not to mention Rean, who had advanced to become a swordsman at the age of twenty, it was already very difficult for him to bite Kurt firmly.
And this failure deepened the darkness in his heart, and he eventually embarked on the wrong path of doing whatever it takes to win.
Rean gave him the opportunity to challenge, but also wanted to stimulate it in advance, not giving the darkness time to brew and ferment, and then guide him from the front - for example, make appropriate comparisons and comments after the challenge.
Specifically, you can refer to the example of Maya and Sidney. Maya's shooting performance is better than Sidney, but the gap between Sidney and Maya is constantly narrowing.
As long as Cedric can see his own growth and progress and give him hope of achieving his goals, it will not be easy for him to think wrongly and get into trouble.
Of course, now that Cedric has a better attitude, maybe there will be a different result.
But for Rean, there is no difference between victory and defeat. No matter where he has grown, he will feel sincerely happy. This is the greatest value and pleasure of being an instructor.
