I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy

Chapter 11

TN: Changed Demonic Beast War class to Anti-Demonic Beast class.

Also, Selenda is female. I really don’t know why I forced her as a mal thinking of an actual thug character. Completely forgot this is a romfan.

The classmate with the name Conan had green permed hair. Judging by the lack of a last name, he seemed to be a commoner.

But that wasn’t the problem.

“Hello, Felix.”

“...Yes, hello Sylvia.”

Having someone like Helena would already earn me the jealousy of the boys in the class. Seeing Sylvia in the same group seemed like a prank by God.

If it wasn’t a prank, he must’ve wanted something interesting to happen.

As I greeted Sylvia, piercing glares rained down from both sides. One was from Helena, and one was from Leonhardt.

‘I wasn’t the one who organized the groups. What do you want me to do?’

However, I doubted they would listen to anything I said, so I tried to ignore them.@@@@

“Nice to meet you, I’m Conan.”

“Right, I’m Felix.”

“I’m Helena.”

The male student named Conan seemed to be a very ordinary boy. His appearance was also very ordinary. He greeted us with a trembling voice as he blushed while looking at Sylvia and Helena.

Fortunately, unlike his name, which sounded like he would search for problems, he seemed to have a very timid personality.

“If you’ve gathered with your group members, head to the training hall.”

After watching the students briefly greet each other in their assigned groups, Selenda began organizing them before the atmosphere became too chaotic.

We also started moving to the training hall amid the students gathering in their groups.

“Thank goodness, I was worried about being in the same group as strangers.”

“You could’ve taken this opportunity to talk to others.”

“Still... it seemed like it would be a bit difficult.”

I calmly responded to Sylvia, who smiled as if relieved while looking at me.

Since most of the boys had either confessed to Sylvia or had feelings for her, it might have been awkward for her.

There were quite a few girls who openly didn’t like Sylvia either.

“It certainly could be.”

As I moved my steps while agreeing with Sylvia’s words, Helena, who hadn’t said a word since she appeared, glared at me with a displeased expression.

When I felt Helena’s gaze, I gently stroked her head, and she just let out a small sigh.

I’ll say it again: Since I wasn’t involved in organizing the groups, I wish she wouldn’t act like that toward me.

Thud.

“Ah......”

While casually chatting, we arrived at the training hall and found our spots. As I was briefly observing the chaotic training hall near the entrance, I felt someone hit my shoulder.

Having been shoulder-checked, I stumbled briefly, frowned slightly, and looked up.

“Ha, it’s nothing.”

“...Huh?”

An unfamiliar student was smiling smugly at me.

There were even more types of training halls than that.

“It’s not just one group entering at a time. To simulate real situations, we’ll divide all the groups into three and take turns training.”

Selenda continued speaking calmly while looking around at everyone.

“The test won’t just be graded on how many demon beasts you defeated. It will include how efficiently your group hunts the demon beasts, how little damage you sustain while hunting them, and even the coordination between group members.”

Just listening made it sound like a rather difficult test.

“Any discord between group members will result in a deduction, as will any discord with other teams. Do you have any questions?”

No one raised their hand at her words.

It wasn’t that they had no questions, but no one raised their hand since they hadn’t experienced it yet.

Selenda also seemed to understand this, nodding and opening her mouth.

“It’s probably better to experience it firsthand. Groups A to C, retrieve the equipment displayed at the front and gather before the training hall entrance.”

We were group C, so we stepped forward at Selenda’s words.

Holding the practice iron swords I had grown accustomed to from not skipping a single day of practice, my group and I took our positions in front of the training hall entrance.

“Huff...”

“Nervous?”

No matter how talented the students were, they were still students without combat experience. Of course, some had already experienced real battles, but most hadn’t.

When Helena let out a small breath, I asked her, and she awkwardly smiled and nodded.

“What about you, Felix?”

“Oh, me too, a little?”

To be honest, I didn’t feel too tense. I had been training every day without fail. Still, I didn’t have a chance to gauge my abilities accurately since I hadn’t experienced real combat.

This was an opportunity to accurately test my skills, so I felt more anticipation than anything else.

“Everyone knows the basic formations, right?”

Conan, who also seemed tense, spoke to us in a way unlike before without trembling.

“Yes.”

I answered, while Helena and Sylvia just nodded.

Sylvia didn’t respond much to minor questions because she knew firsthand how that would lead some to act. Helena’s looks didn’t pale in comparison to Sylvia’s, so she didn’t seem to want to give any openings either.

“Groups A to C, enter the training hall.”

Having discussed taking the basic formation taught at the academy as our initial position, we headed towards the training hall entrance at Selenda’s voice.

But chance would have it that Leonhardt was in Group A.

He seemed separated from his followers, but how he looked at us was unsettling.

‘No matter how unruly he is, he should be able to separate professional and personal matters...’

I tried to hide my uneasy feelings as I headed into the training hall.

Leonhardt just kept staring at us until we all entered the training hall.
