I’m the Only Male Knight in a Chastity-Reversed World, and When I Enrolled in a Female Knight Academy, I Somehow Got Treated Like a Hero — Dominating with an Unparalleled Skill That Makes Me Stronger the More Sex I Have - 16

Chapter 16: Class

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After the entrance ceremony ended, my days at the Knight Academy officially began. Based on the results of the entrance examination, classes were assigned from the top down. I belonged to Class A. Because I had defeated an examiner in the practical exam, I had been placed in the highest-ranked class.

However, the evaluation of me from those around me was low. After all, I was still just a man. The prevailing opinion was that the only reason I had been able to defeat the examiner in the practical exam was because the examiner had completely underestimated me.

“Even so, I never imagined we’d end up in the same class,”

Sophia—the silver-haired girl sitting next to me—spoke to me in the classroom after the entrance ceremony.

“That’s good, isn’t it?”

“It’s not good at all. The speech I worked so hard to prepare didn’t get listened to at all because of you…”

She must have been referring to the speech at the entrance ceremony. After all, every student had been focused solely on Cassandra and me.

“The others might not know, but I listened properly. It was a well-crafted, excellent speech.”

I told her.

“Eh? O-oh… yes. Thank you very much…”

She probably hadn’t expected that I had been listening. Sophia looked confused, but she thanked me honestly.

“…………”

“Huh? What’s with that look?”

“No, it’s just that you were openly hostile a moment ago, and now that I praised you a little, you suddenly got all meek. I just thought you were surprisingly easy.”

“Hah!? I am not easy!?”

Sophia glared sharply at me. Then, letting out a small sigh as if exasperated, she changed the subject.

“…By the way, do you know Cassandra-sensei? During the ceremony, it looked like you were talking quite familiarly with her.”

“I lived together with her for a while.”

“Eh!?”

“I stayed in a mountain cabin and had her train me.”

“To think you received constant instruction directly from the kingdom’s strongest knight… That’s far too enviable.”

Sophia looked at me with a gaze mixed with admiration and jealousy.

“But hearing that, I think I understand now.”

“Understand what?”

“Why you’re so strong. If you were trained personally by Cassandra-sensei, it explains your strength that’s far beyond what a man should have.”

While we were talking, the classroom door opened. When the students saw who entered, a murmur spread through the room. It was Cassandra. Just as she had said earlier, it seemed she would be serving as Class A’s homeroom teacher.

“I am Cassandra Barretheart, and I will be serving as the homeroom teacher for this class.”

Standing on the platform, Cassandra addressed the students. Her low, powerful voice caused the entire classroom to fall silent, as if water had been poured over it.

“You will spend the next three years at this academy striving to become knights. Just because you were admitted does not mean your future is secure. To graduate and become a knight, you must earn achievements and leave behind tangible results during your time here. Specifically, you can earn points by completing missions or placing in the academy’s swordsmanship tournaments. Those who accumulate many points and demonstrate excellence will be scouted by higher-ranked knight orders. For reference, the Black Wolf Knights, which I command, are the highest-ranked and only one person, the one who earns the most points during enrollment, may join. In any case, there is only one thing I wish to tell you. Knights have no need for the weak. If you wish to become a knight, acquire overwhelming strength. For that purpose, train daily without arrogance. That is all.”

Words of encouragement from the kingdom’s strongest knight. The students listened to Cassandra’s words and tightened their resolve. Still, I wondered if it was really okay for her to be away from her knight order for so long.

…Most likely, the vice-captain was being forced to clean up after her again.

Once Cassandra left the room, the classroom instantly became lively as break time began. The first day would end after this homeroom session. The other students paired up and quickly began deepening their friendships. However, no one gathered around me. It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded me, with everyone keeping their distance. That said, I could feel their gazes.

“Hey, why don’t you go talk to that guy?”

“I’m fine, thanks.”

“Ahh… Just looking at him makes me all hot and bothered.”

“I just want to fuck him senseless…♡”

They were clearly curious, but hesitant to actually speak to me. Some students even looked at me with blatantly sexual desires in their eyes. Still, no one actually came to talk to me. They stared lewdly or whispered obscene things, but none of them could take action. It was just like adolescent boys being too nervous to talk to girls. If that was the case, I decided to take the initiative myself.

I walked up to the group of clustered girls and spoke to them.

“What are you talking about?”

“Eh!? Ah—um…”

“Well, it’s just… You know?”

“Fuhihi…”

The girls glanced at each other, forced stiff smiles, and muttered vague, incoherent words. They were completely flustered. They were just like adolescent boys after all.

This isn’t going to work.

I gave up on talking to them and returned to my seat. Sophia was talking with other students, and I sat alone in the spacious classroom. Then, at that moment—

Bang!

A shoe sole suddenly slammed down onto the desk in front of me.

“Yo. You’re that rumored male new student, right?”

I lifted my gaze. Standing there was a rough-looking female student. Blonde hair reaching her shoulders. A height that had to be over 170 centimeters, with sharp sanpaku eyes. She looked like a delinquent through and through.

Glaring at me as if licking me with her eyes, she continued in a threatening voice.

“I heard about you. You beat an examiner in the practical test even though you’re a guy, huh? Hey, what kind of trick did you use?”

At first, I thought she was provoking me.

There’s no way a man could beat an examiner. What underhanded method did you use?

That was what I assumed she meant. But I was wrong.

“…Please don’t misunderstand. Nee-san isn’t trying to provoke you. She’s simply genuinely interested in you.”

A voice came from behind the rough-looking blonde girl. A silver-haired girl peeked out. She was a head shorter than the blonde girl. Her expression was cool and emotionless, her refined features like those of a perfectly crafted doll.

“Is that so?”

“Huh? I’ve been saying that from the start, haven’t I?”

The blonde girl said.

“Beating an examiner even though you’re a guy, that’s impressive as hell.”

She was really praising me, but it was hard to tell.

“…Because her speech and attitude are rough, and she doesn’t explain herself well, she’s often misunderstood… But Nee-san is actually very kind at heart,”

The silver-haired girl added quietly.

“…And it seems she spoke to you because you looked lonely sitting all by yourself. She just couldn’t leave you alone.”

Is that so? I wasn’t particularly lonely, though.

“…If that’s the case, then why did you put your foot on my desk and start shouting at me? Anyone would think you were picking a fight.”

“Isn’t it better to make a strong impression when you first meet someone?”

The blonde girl said, apparently without a shred of doubt about her own actions. That went far beyond just making a strong impression.

“…This is why I admire Nee-san from the bottom of my heart. She’s clumsy and a little foolish, but she’s really kind.”

The silver-haired girl said with a dreamy expression. Since she called her “sister,” the two must have been siblings. The delinquent-looking blonde was the older sister, and the cool silver-haired one was the younger. A pair of beautiful sisters.

“Well, being the only guy in an all-girls academy’s gotta be nerve-wracking. If you’ve got any trouble, come tell me. I’ll back you up.”

The blonde girl said, thumping her chest.

“That’s reassuring to hear.”

“Yeah. You can rely on me as much as you want.”

She grinned, showing her teeth. Her face was scary, but she seemed like a dependable big-sister type.

“I’m Berga Straiga.”

She introduced herself.

“…I am her younger sister, Frau Straiga.”

The silver-haired girl followed up.

“I’m Kreto Brightblade. Nice to meet you all.”

I introduced myself as well.

“If you’ve got any problems, just say the word.” 

Berga said, and then…

Before long, a troublesome situation arose without delay.
