I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

048. Competitive match

After the competitive opening ceremony was successfully completed, the group draw was held immediately. Gilbert’s group was scheduled to be held at the 3rd gymnasium.

The start time was an hour later, which was a consideration to give time for conversation between the guests and cadets who participated in the opening ceremony of the competition. It was a consideration for the Academy’s guests who came a long way to watch the competition.

Gilbert also met an agent from the Earl of Hart.

When Gilbert unlocked the custom character, he was set as the eldest son of the Hart family, but originally the Hart family had one son and one daughter. The first was Glinda Oz Hart, who is now her younger brother, and the second was Dorothy Flamma Hart.

And among them, the one who came as the earl’s representative was Dorothy Flammahart, who was drinking tea in an elegant posture before his eyes.

She was a fellow character who boasted high performance in Tactical Combat. Because she aspired to become a knight, she had been training ever since she was young, so her initial abilities were outstanding enough to be in the top tier.

She was a beautiful woman who was recognized even within the empire, and the Count Hart family’s unique blonde hair, bright red eyes, and straightforward personality were attractive. At the same time, as her dating route was opened, many of her users targeted her.

Especially when her protagonist Ian’s personality was set as Gongmyeongjeong, it was easy for her to be liked because she aimed to be a knight who knew her honor. On the other hand, if you set it to a mean level, her likeability will drop to the bottom and it will be absolutely impossible to recruit her as a colleague, let alone go on a romantic path with her.

In other words, it was said that there was a high possibility that Dorothy hated Gilbert, who was known to be a mean and dishonorable bastard.

Gilbert did not hastily say anything in front of Dorothy, who was drinking tea in silence. Even though he was his younger brother, he was cautious because it was his first time seeing him in person.

When he first opened his eyes in the Lithuanian territory, all he did was lock himself in his room and figure out a way to survive in this world, except for confronting the Count of Lithuania. He had never seen Glinda or Dorothy, who were supposed to be his sisters.

How much time has passed?

After the time had passed to finish the cup of tea, Dorothy finally opened her mouth first.

“It’s been a long time.”

“I see.”

Her words to her older brother were quite informal, but that was her unique way of speaking. Of course, it wasn’t that she couldn’t distinguish between public and private, but at least she always used that way of speaking to her brother Glinda, her personal maid Anna, and her friend Ian, whose favorability had grown.

When recruited as a companion, her performance was good, and when she entered the dating route, she was passionate, so she was a companion character that I liked quite a bit, but I wondered what it would be like when she became Gilbert’s body. Because she really hated dishonest people.

“It’s strange to see it again.”

“Strange?”

“Yeah, it’s not like you’re the oldest brother. You’re not arrogant like always.”

Was that the reason?

I had a vague idea why Dorothy, and not Glinda, came as the earl’s representative. She must have been curious because her eldest brother, whom she truly detested, was acting differently from before.

And if you think about it a little more, Dorothy had hoped to become a knight since she was a child. At first, it was just because he was cool, but after meeting Brianna, he admired her and truly wanted to become her knight.

However, if the eldest brother, who was not good enough to be the knight he wanted to be, was promoted to cadet status and became the exclusive disciple of Brianna, whom he deeply admired, it would have been rather strange for him not to come.

“So you came instead of Glinda? To check.”

“I’m sorry. And what’s with that way of speaking? You were originally very frivolous. Do you even know that that’s strange?”

“Was it better to be frivolous?”

“No. If I had to be honest, this side is better. But it’s creepy that the person talking like this is my brother.”

It was said with a smile and casually, but the true meaning was not like that. She felt like sighing at the sight of him not hiding his disgust.

“Is there any need to have tea with a creepy person?”

“Of course. Since I came as your father’s substitute, I have to do even the things I don’t want to do. And I said I wanted to take on this role as your substitute, but I can tolerate that level of inconvenience.”

“Then isn’t that enough?”

“Not at all. I have a lot to ask you.”

I drank black tea. As soon as the teacup ran out, her personal maid Anna, who was next to her, naturally poured black tea into the teacup.

“Brother. How did you become a knight?”

“You know, don’t you?”

“Your brother took out seven Resistance giants by himself? How can I believe that? There was an edict from the imperial family, but I don’t know you?”

Dorothy’s expression, which had been smiling until now, hardened. The corners of her mouth lowered, her eyes raised sharply, and she glared at Gilbert. As if he was going to reveal everything that was hidden inside.

“Brother, let’s be honest. What have you done? How on earth did a person who had never moved a Giant God Soldier before while in the territory win the Demeia Academy entrance mock battle and take on seven Giant God Soldiers single-handedly? “I don’t understand how you can do it.”

“I just did it because I could.”

“First of all, my humor has improved a lot since I stopped seeing my brother. I did it because I could… Okay, okay. Let’s say that’s true. Then, I have another question for you. How on earth did you become Brianna’s exclusive disciple? Just like your brother. A lousy person.”

For an instant, hostility soared. Gilbert seemed to be able to see the jealousy and hostility pouring out of Dorothy.

This seemed to be the most important reason why she came to represent her count. It seemed like he was excited to be the only student of Professor Brianna, the person he admired.

If it had been someone other than Gilbert, he would have been envious, but he would not have shown such suspicion. Even if she was jealous, it was Dorothy who immediately thought it was because she was not good enough.

But if that person is Gilbert, the story is a little different. Considering Dorothy’s distaste for gangsters like Gilbert, she couldn’t help but feel very uncomfortable that he had become Professor Brianna’s exclusive student.

He could have seemed like a sinner who had stepped into a sanctuary that he should not have entered.

But.

“Dorothy Flamma Heart.”

The sum of the authority and leadership values raised through the recent subjugation war exceeded 130. What he meant was that he could use the limited passive skill Prestige that she showed him that day when he visited Seraphina to ask for her permission to become Professor Brianna’s exclusive student.

He crushed Dorothy with his power skill to the point where no physical damage occurred.

“I already know that you hate me. I have no intention of saying anything about it. All of that is true. But.”

“Surp…?!”

I gave strength to the last word and raised my prestige skill even more. Dorothy, who had barely made a sound, let out a sound without realizing it.

Anna, who had been watching her silently, noticed her strange behavior and tried to move, but when Gilbert’s bright red eyes turned to her, she was unable to move.

“Don’t cross the line. That’s all I have to say.”

Gilbert released his prestige skill, got up and went outside. In addition to Lily, he became involved with Dorothy, but he had bad feelings about her even before they met. He believes that giving up is good for your mental health, and he headed to the third training center where the three preliminary rounds will be held.

But while I was on my way to the training center, a thought occurred to me.

Don’t cross the line. No matter how much his speech changed due to the influence of the original Gilbert, the very fact that he could say something like that was so creepy.

I automatically shuddered at the fact that I had said something that made me sick to my second year of middle school. He thought that next time he must be careful not to say something like that.

***

Dorothy looked at the door to the parlor where Gilbert had left and was able to exhale comfortably only after the door closed. The pressure that felt like a tight grip around my neck disappeared, but the feeling that felt like my breathing was being squeezed did not go away.

“Miss! Are you okay?!”

“Yes. Don’t worry. So calm down, Anna.”

She smiled at Anna, who was trying to protect herself in her unique way, and raised her teacup.

She may not have been noticed by Anna, but her hands were shaking slightly. The black tea had already cooled down, but when I took a sip, the aroma filled my mouth and my condition felt a little better.

Is that really your first brother? Not someone else?

I saw it with my own eyes, but I couldn’t believe it.

She had seen Gilbert all her life, and although she was a family member, she judged him to be poor. There was no trace of her dignity, and what she did was limited. He’s a scumbag who only knows what to do, harassing women and harassing Young Ji-min.

There were a lot of rumors about this and that, but they did not cross a critical line and we tolerated it as a family, but today that perception was shattered.

From the reading of her first oath to the current meeting, the Gilbert she knew was not there. As if someone else had taken over Gilbert’s body, his words and actions were filled with dignity and he was full of leisure.

I thought it was acting so I persistently asked. At the end she suspected her enemy, but instead she was overwhelmed. She couldn’t say anything and it was all she could do to receive Gilbert’s cold gaze with her breath constricted.

Dorothy was very upset about that. She felt so ashamed that she had been outmaneuvered by her oldest brother, whom she had all thought was a lousy idiot.

But it had already happened. She drank the cooled black tea in one go and shook off her soggy feelings. At least what she found out through this conversation was that Gilbert was not incompetent.

Then I had to see what my skills in handling the giant god soldier would be like this time. He was so talented that he was said to have killed seven giant gods.

“Let’s go, Anna. Let’s watch your brother’s game.”

“I’ll take you there, lady.”

We’ll see how well she does.

Dorothy, accompanied by Anna, moved to the third training ground where Gilbert was heading. In the living room, where both people were gone, only two empty teacups remained.
