Extra 5

Shepherd (5)
"I'm disappointed in you."

"Why?"

I submitted the assignment, but it got out that I had my classmate do it for me.
However, there shouldn't be any evidence.

"If you look at the handwriting you thought wouldn't be discovered, it's obvious. Besides, with your abilities, it's impossible for you to get all the questions correct on this assignment."

"You!"

"And your lack of respect towards the teachers is another thing."

There's no way someone as lowly as him could understand my talents.

The fool couldn't understand anything and didn't let me advance.
And then I was placed in the lowest class and couldn't advance.

As time passed, even my student dormitory was lowered to the lowest rank.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"Yeah, it seems there are two scholarship students among this year's freshmen."

"And one of them is a girl."

While feeling the worst, rumors were spreading about me repeating a year in humiliation.

"Look, aren't those the two?"

I thought it had nothing to do with me, but there, in the direction of their gaze...

Why is Marie wearing the student council uniform!

"It seems those two were at the top of the entrance exam."

"Incredible. Joining the student council and all."

Unlike me, praised by many, chosen as the representative student of the academy, I couldn't accept it.

Why Marie.

Even though she's more incompetent than me...

Just for now.
Surely she can’t keep up with the academy's classes.

But in the midterm exams.

In the end-of-term exams, group presentations, she kept achieving success after success.

"Damn it... Damn it!"

While I suffered in such misery, Marie lived a good life, and I swore to someday repay this grudge twofold.

Thinking that, I reported the events at the academy to Mother.
Anyway, she'll marry into a wealthy noble family for the sake of our house.

It's nothing more than a fleeting utopia.

But the surprise was that arrogant guy called Henry.

He became the son-in-law.

"What? You're making Marie's lover a live-in son-in-law?"

"Then what about me?"

"You didn't show any interest in the estate's work, and your grades were poor at the academy."

What a situation.
To make a man unrelated by blood the next heir.

"Why!"

"Moreover, who made the agreement that if Marie married, you would become the heir?”

"That was..."

That's right.
At first, to oppose Marie's marriage, I said if he became a live-in son-in-law, I would allow the marriage.

I didn't think his mother would accept the humiliating content I wrote in the letter.

"Making Henry my heir. This is what I, as the current head, have decided."

Damn it, what a situation.

"Shepherd, there's still a way."

My Mother told me not to worry, squeezing my hand.

That's right, just make him work and when he becomes useless, just kick him out.
