I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 338
338 – Poor Confessions #2
338 – Poor Confession #2
Preliminary round of the Miss Ludens Contest.
The preliminary round was held on special contest stages installed in various locations.
Female students show off their charm and beauty on stages set up by the student council in various locations, including the old school building, downtown area, new school building, and dormitories.
“You’re the best, Milone!”
“Milk-colored Milone!”
This is a stage set up in a park in the city center.
Not only students but also civilians from the mainland came to watch the contest, which was held like a large festival. It was so crowded that there was not even a room to step.
“All Ludens students are pretty. Look how there isn’t a single blemish on my skin.”
“Is it because the water and air are good?”
Humans are instinctively attracted to beautiful and wonderful things.
Also, the younger and fresher you are, the more you attract people’s attention.
In particular, Milone was the most popular among the many female students on the stage in this downtown area.
“What dance is it?”
“I don’t know, it’s just jumping left and right like a live fish!”
“I’m Milone, a first year student… ! Please vote for us… !”
The chess showed ended briefly and Milone waved her hand to the people.
There are well over 500 women taking the preliminary round in this downtown area.
Of these, five will advance to the finals.
Competition rate of 100:1.
It is said that the people gathered around each vote with the messages they received, and the five people who receive the most votes are promoted.
“Now, let the voting begin!”
Hilde shouted.
People flock to the voting booth as Hilde speaks.
“Miss Milone is first!”
“What are you talking about! Rather than a 1st grade kid who doesn’t know anything, Ishtar is a mature 3rd grader─.”
“What’s wrong!?”
Tudak, kwaang-!
It was a situation where supporters criticized each other, and sometimes even armed conflict broke out.
Hilde wiped her face at that sight.
“It’s so overheated. 500 people applied in the central street preliminary round alone. “Last year, there were only about 50 people, but the number has increased 10 times.”
“…”
“The student council budget that had been set aside for the contest is likely to run out during the preliminaries.”
There seemed to be more crowds than expected, so there seemed to be no worries at all.
I said this to comfort him.
“It can also be a problem if the event is too popular. It’s a problem I’ve never even thought about.”
“What the. Who do you think became like this? “Everyone got overheated because you started a strange rumor for no reason.”
“What am I doing?”
Are you saying this crowd is because of me?
Are these all women who want to date me?
I was just surprised that I was such a popular person.
Honestly, it feels like a lie.
Arnoy, who was sitting with him as a judge at that time, asked.
“Hilde, is it okay if she doesn’t participate in the contest… ? ? Just because she makes it to the finals, she gets a pretty cool prize… !”
“Me? I’m done. Showing off your femininity in front of people. “I’m not really interested in that kind of thing.”
It certainly seemed like that.
Hilde is definitely not the type to dance in a short skirt in front of people.
“If I participate in the first place, who will manage the people? “Milone, Cristina, and Victorica have already participated, so the student council is short on manpower.”
“Oh my gosh, the managers are away,” Hilde blurted out.
However, I thought it was a bit disappointing.
“Hilde, I thought you would be able to get past the finals and make it to the final five. “I think it’s unfortunate.”
“What are you saying?”
Hilde turns her head.
She immediately hit my shoulder with her fisted hand.
It hurt.
“Do your review properly. If you don’t do it fairly, the story will definitely come out later.”
“No need to worry about that.”
Because I plan to judge more fairly than anyone else.
Once you have taken on a role and duty, you need to perform it faithfully.
However, since the preliminaries were based on the number of votes, I had nothing to do as a judge, so I felt relaxed.
As I was watching people passing by, it was already evening.
The evening newspaper was delivered to the club room.
“Hoeheh—! It’s 5,000 Renae… !”
“Thank you, Hoenoya.”
I paid the price to Hoenoi and opened the newspaper.
“The overheated preliminaries are over!”
「Photos and brief profile list of 50 finalists revealed!」
“The leading candidate for victory is—”.
There is only news about the preliminaries here and there.
After a successful event, the 50 finalists were decided through vote counting.
The finals will be held over the next week.
It’s already grand in many ways when I think of the women who overcame the 100:1 competition and entered the finals to gather in one place and sharply show off each other’s skills.
“Of course Enio came in first place.”
The first thing I saw was the name of Enio Black Star.
On the stage installed in the new building of her dormitory, Enio took first place with the most votes.
“The gap with Miss Rebekah, who came in second place, is double—!”
“Miss Rebekah calmly expressed her opinion, saying, “Things will change when we advance to the finals.””
Was Rebekah in second place?
3rd place is “Idol – Dolores”, 4th place is “Lady of the Year – Nisha”, And 5th place is “Heroine – Miriam”.
They are all talented people.
It is not strange to these people even if they successfully pass the finals.
“Is there a name for Nike or Victorica? There’s no way those two would have been eliminated.”
Palak.
I was wondering if the next chapter might contain information about the results of the preliminaries held on other stages.
“Did something strange happen on the old school stage?”
“An unexpected result occurred! The fall of the winning candidate—!?”
* * *
Victorica looked at her medal hanging on a hanger in her room.
A gold plated medal.
It is a symbol of the finalists.
If you look closely, you can see the words “No. 1 on the stage of the main stadium” Written in engraving.
Knock.
At that time, someone knocked on Victorica’s door.
“Vicky, can I come in?”
“Come in, Shadi.”
Jerky, gi-ik.
The door opened and Shadi France appeared.
“Congratulations, Victorica. Of course, of course we made it to the finals. The difference in votes between 2nd place and 2nd place was also large. Let’s go all the way to winning the contest like this!”
Shadi smiles.
But Victorica was not in a very good mood.
“Shadi, this is your doing.”
Zech.
There was a newspaper where Victorica’s hand pointed.
This is this morning’s newspaper.
“Victor decided to date the winner. There is no way that guy would make that opinion known to the newspaper reporters on his own.”
“Really?”
“Didn’t you collude with Daily and set this up?”
“Don’t be so angry. If you have wrinkles between your eyebrows, you might lose to your rivals. Hehe, but it’s not really a lie. Because Victor said it with his own mouth.”
“What did he say?”
“You’re saying you’ll date the winner.”
Victorica was lost in her thoughts.
Victor was strangely passive and even ostracistic in things like romantic relationships.
But you put such a big condition on this contest.
‘Has there been a change of heart?’
There was something to point out.
Not long ago, there was an incident where Victorica slapped Victor.
‘At that time, Victor was massaging me.’
Being swayed by impulse.
It was behavior that was not typical of a normal guy.
I slapped her to calm her down, but after that it became so awkward that I couldn’t even look at her face.
In fact, after that, it felt like reality somehow dawned on me.
Because of that, she couldn’t show anything in today’s preliminaries.
‘Still, she was lucky to get first place votes.’
As she was thinking that, Shadi took out a comb from her arms and combed Victorica’s long hair.
“Vicki, are you confident? Confident of winning. He was originally your fiancé. Now, he has become the groom that everyone at Ludens is aiming for. “I have to get it back.”
“Myself…”
“Today’s preliminaries, honestly, I noticed even if other people didn’t. Victorica, you were frozen, unlike you. Isn’t that right?”
It was there if it were me.
Originally, I would have thought so.
“First of all, the most dangerous opponent is Black Star’s anime, right? I heard that that guy took first place on the stage in the new building of the dormitory. Just by waving at people.”
Tsk, Shadi clicks her tongue as if she is upset.
Soon Victorica came to her senses
‘If you think about it, there were preliminaries held in other places as well.’
I started to become interested in what other people were like.
Only by understanding the strengths of other players will we be able to get one step closer to winning.
“Let’s say Enio is like that. Moke… “What about Nike?”
“That pink bomb?”
Shadi briefly raised an eyebrow.
Then she took out a neatly folded newspaper from her pocket and held it out to Victorica.
“This is the result of the old teacher’s stage preliminary round. Why is this?”
“Take a look.”
“First place is Flora Arkwright… , She’s my sister. 2nd place is Akasha Keeper? Did Akasha appear in the preliminaries? Let’s see, 3rd place is Morian, 4th place is Sister Parr, 5th place is…”
Victoria’s mouth stopped for a moment.
Palak, Palak.
Turn more pages.
“6th place Nike Moke Moke?”
“Okay. “That pink haired one is in 6th place.”
6th place out of 500 people.
In terms of raw meat, being in the top 1% among the women of Ludens was an excellent score.
However, Victorica could not believe this score in many ways.
“Isn’t it true that only 5th place in each stage can advance to the preliminaries?”
“Okay. In the end, she is no different from last place in that she is eliminated if she comes in 6th place. “The pink haired one failed in the preliminaries.”
‘I can’t believe that Mokemoke failed to advance to the finals.’
Nike was a pretty friend.
Even from Victorica’s perspective, her personality was bright and cheerful. She has a lot of charm.
“No matter how much Flora was on the old teacher’s stage, she would have been at a level worth seeing as she was capable of competing well. 6th place…”
Victorica recognized Nike Moke Moke in its own way.
When she first met her, she thought he was just a dirty and scruffy little kid, but as time went by, she was able to see how much potential he had.
‘That Victor is the one she recognized as her only founding partner. It was Nike who came and started working with me after breaking off our engagement.’
I can’t believe a guy like that failed to advance to the finals.
There was something unbelievable about her.
“It’s clear something happened on the old school stage. Shadi, you know what’s going on, right? “Tell me.”
Victorica asked.
Then Shadi sighed.
“Vicky, isn’t it good to be purely happy if you have one less rival?”
“…”
That was it.
But for some reason, Victoria couldn’t be purely happy.
Why?
‘Rival.’
Victoria secretly thought of Nike as her rival.
The greatest, strongest and worst enemy that must be defeated with all your might.
For Victorica, Nike was, in a way, a bigger wall than Yumi.
‘But I can’t believe that a guy like that falls before he even has a chance to compete properly. There’s no way I can tolerate something like that. ‘It feels like a bye.’
I thought that it was only meaningful if we clashed with all our might, gave each other our best, squeezed out every last drop, and won in the end.
Beyond just her relationship with Victor, Victorica thought of Eniona Nike as her lifelong nemesis in many ways.
Then Shadi said.
“Vicki, isn’t it your strength to be able to show serious concerns and concerns to enemies and others? Is it because I have a big heart? Actually, there was a problem on the old school stage.”
