I am Adam II Phoenix, the second prince of the Phoenix Kingdom. A handsome, Black-haired 15-year-old boy.
It is said that my great-great-grandfather, Adam I Phoenix, had a phoenix bird. He and his phoenix bird joined the hero army and fought with the demon king and defeated him. After that, he changed the name of the kingdom to Phoenix Kingdom.
And he ordered that whoever his phoenix bird likes, he will be the next king. But the comedy is that after his death, the phoenix bird left the kingdom, never seen by anyone.
From that time on, the king's selection has become a joke. So, why am I telling this boring story to you? Well, actually, I met the phoenix bird when I was a kid, but as spoiled as I am, I angered the phoenix, and I am cursed by the phoenix bird. What happened between us? I'll tell you about the curse later. Please don't tell anyone about this. Please keep this secret between us. Only I know about this thing
Everyone calls me a bully because I bully many people—just joking, I don't bully anyone. It is just that people misunderstood me.
The five students who are following, among whom two are nobles named Andrew 1 and Andrew 2, are both black-haired identical twins.
Three of them are commoners who are transporting both our and their bags: Motu, who is fat; Paltu, who is slender; and the final one—wait, where is he?
I'll tell you about that guy, David, when he shows up. He has two minor problems: he likes ants and chases them when he sees one, and he has the ability to become invisible but no control over it.
And another problem is that David is carrying my bags. I can't turn in my homework correctly if he doesn't follow me, but the teacher won't punish me even if I don't.
Everyone is whispering about how Adam is evil and bad. Then a pink-haired girl suddenly shows up in front of Adam and shouts at him. Adam looks behind him and asks the pink-haired girl, "Who are you shouting at?"
The pink-haired girl said, "You don't help the old man to cross at all."
Adam thinks, "Why is my life so unlucky today? This morning, my carriage broke; while walking, a tree branch fell in front of me, a black cat dashed in front of me, and this something girl appeared. Ha!" Also, David is unknown; I'm not sure if he's here. Maybe something terrifying is going to happen today.
Adam said, "Little girl, that old man just crossed the road in front of me and asked directions. How did you assume that, and did you drag him to cross the old again?"
Adam thinks, "What a weird girl?" and leaves the area and enters the classroom. Luckily, David followed him
Adam actually goes to Phoenix Academy of Magic and Study; in short, it is called PAMS. It is the top school in the whole kingdom. Students at this academy were split up into three groups: A, B, and C. Group B is regarded as average, Group C as undeserving, and Group A as exceptionally gifted and intelligent. Depending on their performance, groups can be changed. Group A's classroom is more beautiful than Group B's. Group B is more beautiful than Group C.
There are a total of 50 students in Group C, 150 students in Group B and 20 students in Group A
The Andrew Brothers, Motu and Paltu are in Group B and Adam and David are in Group C.
This is Adam again. If you are wondering why I am here, it is not because I am stupid or I am bad at studying; I am here because my magic doesn't listen to me. I know what you are thinking: I am like David, who cannot control his magic, right? Right? Not at all. I used to be good at magic, and I used to be physically strong, but that Phoenix ruined everything. I will tell you guys what Phoenix did later.
David said, "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"
Adam said, "Come and sit in your place; I can't see you at all."
Only a small number of nobles are present in Group C; the majority are commoners.
Then the homeroom teacher arrived. She is a stunning woman in her late 20s who is rumored to have graduated from PAMS as a Group A student. Her name is Rita.
Rita said, "I'm sorry the new student joined Group A."
That random girl, who has blonde hair and whose name is Sophia, said, "Teacher, only you are the one who wanted her to join this class. We are lucky that there is one person who doesn't use his connection to join any other group and came where he belongs."
Then everyone looks at Adam.
Adam said, "Unlike you, I don't create a record of getting 0 marks."
,Ha!" exclaimed Sophia. It doesn't matter if I received zero marks or you received one hundred. Both are studying in Group C."
Adam was angry and going to say something, then suddenly David, with his invisible hand, stopped him and said, "Your Highness, we need to stop last class. You both shouted at each other until the school day ended, so not today. She doesn't care even if you are a prince."
Sophia's friends, Rina and Nita, also stopped Sophia, and Rina said, "He is a kid." And Nita replied, "Yes! He doesn't need to study at all." He's smart."
Well, it is me again. I told you that I am the second prince. My brother and I have two different mothers. My brother is three years older than me. A student is typically required to attend PAMS when he or she reaches the age of 18 or more.
Just as Sophia said, I got 100 out of 100 marks in the entrance exam, but my magic doesn't listen to me. That's why I got in Group C. It showed I have 0 magic.
And you're wondering why I write the entrance examination. My mother wanted me to become the next king. I wonder if that will happen now that even the Phoenix bird has cursed me.
Miss Rita just told us about a new student named... I don't remember her name, but I believe she can use light magic to help her fight demons. She is weak and stupid, so she should be in Group C, but because she is special, she can choose to be in Group A.
I think I am the only one who rejected special treatment.
The class continues unfortunately. It is a magic class in which Adam is weak at
Wait! Who said I am weak at magic?
Group C has a magic class. Let's say it is a playground, which is 10 times smaller than Group A's class.
Then a fireball suddenly moved toward Adam, planning to hit him. From somewhere, a waterball came and protected Adam.
It looks like the person who used water magic to create a waterball is Sophia, and the one who used fire magic to create a fireball is Joseph, Adam's half-brother and the first prince of the Phoenix kingdom.
Joseph has blonde hair. He is Adam's half-brother and the first prince of the Phoenix Kingdom.
Joseph apologized, "Little brother, I accidentally used fire magic on you." I forgot you don't use magic, so why are you here?
Adam said, "If you have no control over magic, feel free to transfer to Group C."
Then a brown-haired muscle boy behind Joseph, whose name is George, said, "How dare you say this to your highness?"
And another blue-haired guy with glasses behind Joseph, whose name is John, said, "You are stupid to say those words."
And another purple-haired guy named Cohen said, "Come on, why talk with this useless guy?"
Then Sophia shouted, "What nonsense you all are talking!" First of all, Your Highness Joseph, you have no right to disparage your brother and George, and you have no right to speak to a prince in such a manner. John, I've heard you received a score of 98, whereas Adam received a perfect score, and Cohen, I believe Adam is superior to you."
A fight was going to break out, then suddenly the same pink-haired girl whom Adam met this morning came again and said, "Adam, why are you fighting with Joseph?"
Sophia pointed at them and said, "Don't tell me Group A doesn't have any ground, so they're here. You should have said it before. Group C doesn't mind sharing with me." Sophia exclaimed, "Everyone, Group A didn't have any ground they wanted to share with us."
Joseph, his friends, and the pink-haired girl became embarrassed and left.
Adam replied, "Thanks, Miss Sophia. But who is that pink-haired girl anyway?"
Sophia said, "I don't know."
Then Nita said, "She is the new student. I think her name is Diana."
Rina said, "She can use Light magic."
Sophia said, "Hey! Second Prince, don't your brother have a fiancé?"
Adam laughed and said, "Hey! "Second Prince, you ought to give me respect, but you are not giving it to me. Well, he had one, but did you ask?"
Sophia said, "Just a woman's intuition."
Sophia continues, "I think she is trouble."
Adam said, "No way, she is just a girl."
Adam thinks, "Well, I also sensed trouble; this girl is dangerous."
It is evening, school is over, and a new carriage came to pick up Adam.
When Adam goes to his villa, the Queen's maid, Malty, is there to send the Queen's message to Adam.
Adam said, "Miss Malty, Did Mother send any interesting message?"
Miss Malty said, "Your Highness, Second Prince, the Queen wants to know your opinion on the matter of you becoming the King."
Adam said, "Come on, how many times do I have to say I don't want to be King and tell the same to the Queen?"
Malty was leaving when Adam said, "It looks like it'll rain; you should stay the night."
Adam clapped his hands, and Tracey, the villa's headmaid, emerged. Adam requested, "Show Miss Malty her room for tonight."
It was the night after dinner, and Adam went for a walk in his garden. It's raining, and Adam suddenly collides with an object and falls. Adam realized he had hit an invisible object. Adam knows it's David.
David is Tracey's son and lives with Adam. We can say that we both grew up together. David also knows about my curse.
David looks at the ants, which are coming out because of rain.
Adam replied, "Hey! David, I've fallen down."
David said, "Sorry!"
Adam said, "How long have you been here? Did you eat?"
David looks up and sees, well, it's been long time
Adam said, "Sometimes, I don't understand you. But did you do what I asked you to do?
David said, "Expect to go to the girl's restroom; I follow her everywhere."
David said, "I think she is harmless but harmful to you."
Adam said, "What?"
David said, "I saw her diary and found out something interesting."
Adam said, "What did you find out?"
David stated, "I will tell you that girl, Diana, is from another world and has come to this world, and not only that, but this world is similar to the novel she read in her previous life."
Adam became interested and said, "Now, don't tell me I am the hero and she is the villain; that's why she hates me."
David said, "Don't be angry. Okay! I will tell you that you are the villain, as is your mother, the queen, and that Joseph and his friends are the heroes.
Adam said, "Which Joseph?"
David said, "Your brother, Joseph."
Adam asked, "What is he, a hero?"
David said, "And that Diana is a heroine."
Adam said, "Come on! Even if you are a hero, I agree, and why him of all people?"
David said, "Well, I think it might be a fantasy, but few instances actually happen..."
Adam asked, "What is the ending of my novel?"
David said, "You will be kicked out of the kingdom, but your brother will become king?"
Adam said, "I see. I think something has to change."
What is Adam planning to do? What is the curse that the phoenix bird bestowed upon him? To learn more, please see the following chapter.
