The Birth Of The Leopin Royal Guard

In the residential district of Leak Eight Royal Pioneer Academy, there was an alley hidden behind the luxurious buildings lining the main street.

Normally, it was not a place with much foot traffic, but now people were flooding into it so densely that passing through was difficult.

At present, with the exception of about four people, everyone in this academy had gathered in the alley.

That was only natural.

After all, the Pioneer’s Breakfast, said to be the next milestone after a base in a pioneering academy, had appeared.

At the center of the black mass of people was a single female student.

The shy girl whose bangs hung down like a blindfold was holding a tray with the breakfast set on it, trembling like a Chihuahua that had just been taken in.

No matter what the reporters asked her, she only trembled, so Monaka and Kotone, sensing the situation, responded to the interview.

“After Leo-kun made the wheat field, he became friends with the horses during PE class. I think he made the pasture through that connection.”

“The breakfast here was apparently made using ingredients gathered from Master’s pasture, exactly according to Master’s teachings.”

““In other words, this is truly the Leopin Set Meal!””

Although Monaka and Kotone had not coordinated in advance, they struck exactly the same pose and spoke exactly the same line.

““Even after this, do you still say that Leopin-sama’s great achievement is a lie…!?””

…Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

The two Saints proclaimed this and struck a pose.

The sight was like the gods of wind and thunder—no, like goddesses of wind and thunder.

The reporters were trembling with emotion.

“W… we were wrong! Leopin… no, Leopin-sama is a great student!”

“To think he made the Pioneer’s Breakfast when not even half a year has passed since the school opened!”

“He has accomplished so much that even the Hero and Sage do not compare! He is a great future leader!”

There was no longer even one person who treated the Saints’ words as an act or treated Leopin as an imaginary animal.

Pushed by the crowd and driven into the back alley, Kakerukun and the vice principal were there.

Both of them were on their knees with stunned expressions.

“N… no way…! To think Leopin had even completed the Pioneer’s Breakfast…!”

A massive effect of bundles of bills poured out from Kakerukun’s completely drained body.

“Ahh!? My money!?” he cried, reaching out to catch it, but the intangible money slipped through his hands.

The bundles of bills swam through the air like a school of fish, then were absorbed into Monaka and Kotone’s bodies.

It was the moment the great big game was settled.

And it was also the signal for a great transfer of assets.

The Magic Board for the Asset Rankings installed at this academy began to rewrite itself.

The Saint and Miko’s classes overtook the jobless boy all at once and leapt into a double first place.

It was a historic moment when Leopin finally lost through proper means, without any trickery.

However, the ranking changes were not over.

The letters on the Magic Board clattered busily and carved out an even greater legend.

…Jangggggggggggggggg!!

Astonishingly, the Saint and Miko’s classes had joined together and become the Leopin Royal Guard…!

Seeing this, who could possibly think that boy had lost…!?

The jobless boy was, as expected, the strongest…!

And the reporters were desperate.

“P… please tell us! Where is Leopin-sama!?”

“After so many exclusive stories in a row, it is too cruel that we cannot interview the person himself!”

“Please, please, somehow let us meet Leopin-sama…!”

The dazed Kakerukun was pressed for answers and confessed.

Before leaving, the reporters rushed to the academy’s artificial lake in hopes of seeing Leopin just once.

However, no one was there, and the lake had been completely wrecked, as if a dragon had come and rampaged through it.

Time ran out just like that, and the reporters were forced to leave the academy without being able to worship Leopin.

Leopin had finally become a legendary being on the level of a unicorn…!

Even though he had not appeared at all, the Leopin whirlwind had swept through the academy like a storm.

Even through the prime real estate of the main street, normally crowded with many students, a cold wind blew.

There, only one person remained: Weiss, his face still shoved into the bucket.

Without anyone showing concern for him, he had been completely abandoned like a discarded corpse.

After some time, he was discovered by a rescue team and rescued.

Class 1-20, to which he belonged, was ranked down due to the penalty for being sent to the infirmary.

Quietly and without anyone knowing, it fell into the lower group.

And his class was not the only one to receive a penalty.

Her class….

Yes, the class of Toinette, the Royal Pastry Chef who had made the garbage bread.

Her class was also held responsible for becoming a disgrace throughout the country and was given the heavy punishment of a two-rank drop.

“To… Towaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?”

The chain of tragedy did not end.

As punishment for hiding Leopin’s achievements and trying to steal them, Kakerukun was handed a two-rank drop by the Board of Education.

However, that was merely the official reason on the surface.

The real reason was that the supporters were furious because Leopin’s excellence had leaked to the outside.

Either way, for Kakerukun, it was like being kicked while he was down—no, like having a beehive thrown at him while naked.

“Ba… bankruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupt!?!?”

Once again, Kakerukun paid out of his own pocket and prevented the rank drop.

And this time, Kakerukun scored an own goal so disastrous that it could not be undone.

After all, he had lit a fire under Monaka and Kotone, who had been hesitant until now.

The result was the Leopin Royal Guard.

The Special Training Class to which Leopin belonged was originally a class where immature students were sent to help each class and build up their skills.

For that reason, no matter how much the Special Training Class accomplished, the classes that received its support were the ones evaluated.

That was also why the Special Training Class had no rank.

However, in the relationship of an Alliance, the master-servant relationship was reversed.

Yes…! The Saints had finally gained a position where they could openly devote themselves to Leopin…!
