8. Pressure Level Maxed Out

From the moment I met Kefir, I understood her character well: although she disliked it, she was more too lazy to engage in any disputes with others, but she was certainly not so humble as to lack pride. If something concerning her identity or the Great Yeng Empire was mentioned or mocked, and she was calm enough to judge that a fight was warranted, Kefir would definitely not just stare blankly, so…

By the time I realized the situation was getting out of control and ran with Letty to the principal’s office, it was already too late!

The door to the principal’s office swung open, revealing the poor principal of Rublyanka Academy, who had never encountered such a scene, pretending to be dead while wiping sweat with a tissue, completely ignoring everything. This naturally intensified the hostility between Kefir and the student named Leif.

“Even if you’re a member of the student council, you can’t interfere with the choices of ordinary students, right?”

Kefir had already noticed the other party’s student council membership, but after just a glance, she decided to “confront” her, and backing down now would not be like her at all.

Then, she unleashed the truth only a protagonist would say, “So you needn’t worry, I still choose the S-level test; my choice… has nothing to do with you.”

“If you fail, you’ll be embarrassing the Great Yeng Empire in front of all of Russia~”

Leif, who didn’t know Kefir that well, let out a cold laugh, only fueling the fire! Who would have thought that Russia also had its share of yin-yang people!

[Kefir…]

What the heck, is there still time to read scripts here!? Hurry up and mediate!

Letty and I rushed into the principal’s office to stop them! I was so anxious that I almost wanted to hug Kefir and give her a kiss, sacrificing my pure body to calm her down!

“Kefir…”

Before Kefir, surprised to see me, could respond, I pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, “Kefir, getting involved with these Russian noble students will make our lives very troublesome later; there’s no need to argue like this.”

“But…”

“Even if you want to achieve good results, there’s no need to bicker with her here. You can easily switch to a different level on the surface, and later I can help you quietly change it back, and that will be that.”

I quietly suggested a clever maneuver. As for why my intelligent fiancée hadn’t thought of it? That’s because she is upright, kind, and responsible, handling things calmly and without shirking her duties. What does it mean to be a protagonist? (leans back)

[Kefir began to hesitate.]

Accompanied by the emergence of the script, Ke Fei’er, who had just been somewhat angry, began to waver.

I let out a long sigh; this matter was finally salvaged by me. However, the next moment, I realized that I had somewhat overestimated Leiti’s way of handling things.

“Don’t argue in the principal’s office of Rublyanka Academy, Blet!”

Leiti’s approach to problems was simple and brutal: when thunder strikes, no argument can withstand a lightning bolt that silences it.

“Reyeve, you indeed have no right to interfere with another student’s choices! This is the command of the Great Emperor! Don’t argue with the foreign students here!”

Although this method of mediation was a bit overbearing, it was in line with Leiti’s character. At the same time, I realized that I had underestimated Reyeve’s hostility towards Ke Fei’er!

Her attitude towards Ke Fei’er—no, it even extended to me—seemed to be more than just simple “mockery”! It appeared there were other reasons behind her hostility, giving her the courage to openly defy Leiti’s orders!

“Lady Leiti! The level of Academy S was originally prepared for the talents of the Rosia Empire! A foreigner like her, even if she passes by luck, could never make good use of the final results!”

“This is clearly a loss for the Rosia Empire! How can you stay with these foreigners every day and even speak on their behalf? For the sake of the Rosia Empire, you should support the academy’s students more and let this foreign student change to a lower level!”

As the Great Emperor of the Rosia Empire, Leiti’s level of overbearingness and unreasonable behavior made me have to coax her with sweet words every time. But this girl actually dared to directly confront Leiti; I was truly witnessing something extraordinary!

Sure enough, Leiti was showing signs of “exploding,” but unfortunately, this girl was completely oblivious!

“Reyeve, are you defying the command of the Great Emperor?”

“I am not! I just feel doubt and confusion!”

After saying this, Reyeve looked at me; this time her “target” was not Ke Fei’er, but me!

“As the president of the student council of Rublyanka Academy, I am mostly informed about the students within the academy! But aside from the foreign student Ke Fei’er, isn’t this one the person you tried every means to ‘sneak in’!? A foreigner who hasn’t even passed the Rublyanka Academy assessment has no right to stay here! Naturally, those who are closely associated with him are also not suitable to arbitrarily choose the S-level quota for the final exam.”

It’s over!

As for the malice directed at me, I was used to it and didn’t care; I had indeed snuck into the academy, so I couldn’t refute it. But while I was indifferent, Ke Fei’er certainly didn’t think so…

Ke Fei’er immediately pulled me behind her, her voice turning more severe: “Whether he is suitable to stay here or not is not for you to slander!”

Originally, she had been persuaded by me and was hesitating whether to let it go, but Ke Fei’er once again took on a hostile attitude towards the other party. Leiti was also being confronted and irritated, making it impossible to expect anything from her. This Reyeve was quite something, managing to create a more dangerous script all on her own!

[The conflict between Ke Fei’er and Reyeve has delayed the plan to obtain the ‘treasure’!]

Rather than letting the script spiral out of control, for Ke Fei’er’s sake, I had to change my approach, no longer avoiding it, but instead opting for a “quick and decisive” confrontation. I couldn’t let such matters affect Ke Fei’er’s “main storyline”!

“This student council member.”

Before Ke Fei’er and Leiti could prepare to attack Reyeve, I spoke up, “I also happen to hold the identity of a ‘foreign student,’ named Li De, and I have been one since last semester.”

“Hmph, such matters…”

“I know you don’t want to believe it, so I will participate in this ‘final test’ with Ke Fei’er to prove it. As long as I can pass smoothly, it will naturally prove that my abilities are sufficient to be a student of Rublyanka Academy, right? Then, correspondingly, you should also refrain from entangling yourself in the issue of the final test level I and Ke Fei’er choose. If we fail, we will naturally leave early and not occupy your quota.”

Quick and decisive, I used this method to make Reyeve stop bothering Ke Fei’er. This was my idea, and of course, it wouldn’t make Ke Fei’er suffer for my sake.

As for the test content and such, we could resolve that slowly; after all, Ke Fei’er’s “script” was the priority.

“This is simply taking advantage of the situation, Rey…”

Reyeve still wanted to stop something, but this time, her words truly didn’t count.

“No problem!”

The next moment, Letty and Kephiel answered my proposal in unison, then shot each other a glare!

Immediately after, God knows what made the seemingly “outstanding” Kephiel add, “Principal, prepare an S-level for him too, so that some people know: my fiancé didn’t sneak in through tricks!”

That… dear wife, you’re putting a bit too much pressure on me.
