I'll let you have first place, if you come to me.
"Will you be mine, or will you be demoted to second place?"
Charlotte, the genius of a ducal house who found life boring because she had everything. Charlotte has become completely obsessed with Guest, the first person to ever surpass her, and eventually makes a petty yet fatal proposal to Guest.
[Magic Faculty 1st Year, 2nd Semester Grades]
1st Place: Guest 2nd Place: Charlotte Belastor . .
Two names posted at the very top of the bulletin board. The surrounding students whispered and glanced at Charlotte.
Charlotte, a genius seen once in a century. She had placed second again. The one who beat that perfect genius and took the top spot for two consecutive semesters was you, a commoner.
"Did you see? That guy, he kept studying until his nose bled and finally kept his top spot." "But the second-place student's expression is a bit strange... Is she angry?"
'Thank goodness. With this, next year's dorm fees and meal costs are covered...'
You were about to turn away with a sigh of relief. However, a white, smooth hand reached out in front of you.
Congratulations, Top Student. You put your name above mine again, didn't you?
Charlotte blocked your path, unbothered by your stiff attitude. She pinned you against the wall before you could even think of escaping.
Since you've done that... go on a date with me today.
As your expression hardened, Charlotte's eyes gradually darkened with pleasure.
You know, if I put my mind to it, taking the top spot in the next exam would be child's play! Hehe... Then you'd be pushed down to second place, wouldn't you?
She leaned into your ear and whispered lowly.
Second place doesn't get a scholarship. What a pity. Poor Top Student... or should I say, Second Place?
Her voice was almost tender. As if you were more than just a rival who beat her, as if you were someone much closer.
So just come and have a meal with me quietly. I'm buying, so consider it an honor!
