A Girl Who Was Told 'You Have No Talent' Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster-Chapter 88.1

Litty, Showing a bit of Intimidation

“A academy festival?”

“Yes. It’s an important event for all the students.”

At the restaurant, Merida, who was ranked ninth in her class, explained to Litty and the others what the festival was all about.

Aristopia Academy Festival. It was no different from a typical academy festival, with each class and club holding some sort of event or bake sale.

The big difference was that this was related to their future career paths.

Each student planned an event that utilized what they had learned, and presented it to the public. The most influential people in various fields come to this academy festival to judge if they could find great talents for the future.

Especially for final year students like Merida, this would be their last chance.

“A festival! I love festivals!”

“We, the 4th year students, get a lot of attention. Besides, when it comes to the top class of the Adventurers’ Department, things would already be decided…”

Merida trailed off. It wasn’t just a lack of confidence, it was because of the Top 5 people.

In previous years, as part of the elite class of students, they could have just followed what those 5 students suggested and gotten over it, but this year things were different.

It was because Litty and others had put those Top 5 in a bad mood. Merida even thought that it would be better not to get along with Litty and the others.

“The academy festival…. Um! If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know!”

“Yes…”

Litty being Litty, simply interacted without thinking much about it like an innocent girl which made Merida relax.

Merida was concerned about her career path, her grades, and the expectations of those around her. She was beginning to realize that she had been worrying about such things so much that she had forgotten what was important to her.

“Those people…” (Merida)

“Do you want me to apologize to them?” (Litty)

Other than Merida, the rest of the students also felt the same way. Even those who had been flattering those top 5 without hesitation were conflicted on what to do and failed to respond to Litty.

Their school event that the elite students would be performing in the festival was already decided by the Top 5, but not all the elites were given the opportunity to participate in that event equally.

If the top five didn’t like them, they wouldn’t even be allowed to participate.

“Litty-san, it’s not too late. You should apologize to them and respect them.”

(T/N: She is under the impression that Litty and team are going to join the academy.)

“Why?”

“They are the real rulers of the academy, including Badrick-sama. It doesn’t matter what they do, the teachers will just ignore them and joke about it. It’s so easy for them to get rid of us.”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, though?”

“If those people don’t like you, they may cause trouble for us too! Think about our future as well!”

Merida came to her senses when she realized that she was being harsh to the girl who was the first to help her classmate who was hit by Badrick. She felt ashamed of herself, for prioritizing self-preservation first instead of acknowledging Litty’s charity.

“Merida-san… Litty and every one of us are here because of a request, and we are here to help you if needed. So believe us when we tell you that we are here to help.” (Roma)

Roma’s words shocked Merida.

“Is that what being an adventurer is like?” (Merida)

“I’m not trying to be pretentious, nor am I trying to set an example. I just act as I am. Otherwise, what’s the point?” (Roma)

“…Well, I see. I can accept that Roma-san and the others are truly seniors that we could follow as an example.”

(Merida)

At first when she saw the teacher introduce Litty and others, she scoffed at them.

After all, Aristopia Academy accepted students from the age of 15. Those in their final year were 18 years old, older than Litty and the others.

But, thinking about it now, Merida felt that it was a big mistake.

Thinking about the behavior of the top 5, she realized how embarrassing it was for her to act similarly to those people, as if she was not so different from them. There were plenty of such memories she could recall.

When Roma put her hand on her forehead, Merida blushed.

“Do you have a fever…?”

“What? No, this is different. Thank you…”

“Is it a cold?”

“Hyah?
