A darkened female lead is overwhelmingly convenient
#4
The boy’s face, positioned before the sorting helm, was cold.
As though not a single fragment of emotion remained within it.
An expression unbefitting his years was soon hidden behind the helmet.
“Who is that? He’s actually gorgeous.”
“Right? I think he’s the most handsome here!”
“Kind of scary though, but he’s cool. What’s his name? Felix…….”
“What? You didn’t hear that he’s Arderon? He’s the most famous of this year’s freshmen! The heir to the Arderon Duchy!”
“What? Arderon?!”
Whispers from the new students drifted in from all directions.
“Wow, he actually enrolled.”
“I thought he’d refuse.”
“Well, what choice does he have? There’s no other academy that would accept him anyway.”
“That’s true enough.”
“So is that rumor real? That the Duchess of Arderon killed all the knights and mages in Dunwich Forest?”
“Yes! She completely went mad!”
“So will he be assigned to the same dormitory? The one the Duchess came from?”
“Of course!”
Though the dormitory assignments hadn’t been completed yet, the freshmen seemed certain of where he would go.
And as though answering that certainty, the helmet shouted out in a great voice.
〔The Bear’s Labyrinth!〕
Those who had already sensed it, those shocked by the announcement, and those bewildered because they didn’t know what the Bear’s Labyrinth even was—all fell silent in the assembly hall.
* * *
The Bear’s Labyrinth.
To understand what this place was, one must look back into the history of Eldvain Academy.
The first to establish Eldvain Academy was a knight named Tigris.
Sturdy in both body and spirit, he built a dormitory atop a tower that had one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
As a result, students began to collapse in exhaustion on the floor, unable to climb all the stairs.
Feeling pity for them, Tigris recruited a mage named Cornix.
Cornix built a dormitory in a spacious hall, accepting students who were intelligent but physically weak and introverted.
As the academy became famous, more and more students arrived.
In the natural course of events, those of average strength and intellect came as well.
Instead, they were those who knew how to plan diligently, work hard, and organize to compensate for their lacking strength and intellect.
The academy recruited a renowned administrator named Apis.
He built a dormitory in a warm garden, accepting students who worked as diligently as bees.
Hearing of the academy’s renown, a sage named Equus knocked on its doors.
Seeking a place to nurture priests and holy knights, he built a dormitory upon an altar.
And he selected those who were sincere and bore faith in others.
The problem began here.
At some point, unclassifiable freshmen started to appear.
Students whom no sorting helm could categorize were shuttled between dormitories, never settling anywhere, and eventually left the academy in failure.
And then, they disappeared.
Or so it was thought.
That is, until one day, a student who ventured underground out of curiosity discovered a dark labyrinth.
The first unclassifiable student, Ursus, thought to himself:
Why should we depend on others’ dormitories?
We ought to build a dormitory of our own.
But since there was no room in the academy, Ursus descended underground.
Into the deep labyrinth beneath.
And while the four founders attended to their own dormitories, he gathered the rejected unclassifiable students and taught them.
Years later, when the four learned the truth, they ultimately agreed to recognize that place as a new dormitory as well.
Thus the academy came to have five dormitories in total.
The Tiger’s Tower.
The Raven’s Hall.
The Bee’s Garden.
The Horse’s Altar.
And.
The Bear’s Labyrinth.
* * *
The reason for such a lengthy explanation was simple.
The Bear’s Labyrinth, put charitably, was a gathering place for the Unclassifiable; put harshly…….
Click.
Felix Arderon removed his helmet.
At the sight of his sculpted face, several students couldn’t help but gasp in admiration.
He descended the platform under the weight of every eye, and the names of the new students resumed being called.
Whenever the Bear’s Labyrinth was mentioned after that, the atmosphere noticeably rippled with unease.
“Wow, he’s from the Bear’s Labyrinth too.”
“But he looks perfectly normal…….”
“Still, he must be, right?”
“Of course! You forget that someone from the Bear’s Labyrinth nearly burned down the entire Silvarak Kingdom?”
“At the Beerhelm Gorge…….”
“In Dolliven…….”
And that was the truth.
The Bear’s Labyrinth was a collection of baby villains—still called the Unclassifiable—who would become great threats to humanity someday.
Wail, die.
Without exception, those from the Bear’s Labyrinth became magnificent villains who smashed the original world to pieces.
So did everyone hate them?
Not at all!
‘It was absolutely refreshing, if anything.’
Daisy endlessly suffering oppression in the world of —what could be more welcome than villains from the Bear’s Labyrinth who demolished it?
For readers coughing blood after reading , the existence of Bear’s Labyrinth villains was like cold soda soothing a sweet potato stuck in one’s throat.
Of course, that didn’t mean I wanted to go to the Bear’s Labyrinth myself.
The mere thought sent goosebumps racing down my arms.
To escape the bleakness by going to the Bear’s Labyrinth?
There was no greater contradiction.
That place was worse than even the Raven’s Hall.
Setting aside that it was a dormitory filled with villains, just look at the stares that poured down every time someone was assigned to the Bear’s Labyrinth.
The bleakness would only double, never diminish.
‘So the answer has to be the Garden of Thorns.’
Daisy clenched her fist with resolve.
To live quietly and ordinarily alone in the Garden of Thorns and graduate.
That was the only future Daisy wanted.
“Last one,” the headmistress announced.
The headmistress called out.
“Daisy Seableheart!”
The silence that fell was different from when the boy’s name had been called—charged with a different meaning.
As Daisy removed her cloak and made her way to the platform, whispered voices followed endlessly.
“Is she that Seableheart…….”
“Kaelan’s sister…….”
Ignoring those voices, Daisy climbed onto the platform and picked up the helmet.
“It is precious, so please handle it carefully,” the headmistress warned in a grave voice.
The headmistress warned gravely.
Gulp.
Daisy swallowed dryly without thinking.
Now that the Classification Helmet was before her—the very thing she’d mocked—her heart began to race.
So it really does read minds, like the Sorting Hat?
If it reads, how much does it see?
What if it finds out that I’m a possessor…….
Click.
Daisy placed the worn helmet on her head.
〔Daisy Seableheart.〕
The moment the helmet settled, she heard that familiar mechanical voice announcing a dormitory assignment.
Since the outside remained silent, it seemed only Daisy could hear it.
〔We shall now begin the dormitory assignment for Eldvine Academy.〕
With eyes squeezed shut, Daisy prayed earnestly.
‘Not the Raven’s Hall.’
She begged like the Gwat first-year who had worn the Sorting Hat.
‘Not the Bear’s Labyrinth. Not the Tiger’s Tower. Not the Horse’s Altar…….’
There were quite a few things she didn’t want…….
A mechanical voice reached Daisy’s ears.
〔Please listen carefully to the question……〕
Question?
〔Please answer using numbers from 1 to 7.〕
Numbers?
From the helmet that had been silent for a moment came a familiar sound—yet somehow it felt solemn, mechanical.
〔I prefer playing alone at home to playing with friends. 1. Very dislike. 3. Neutral. 7. Very like.〕
“…….”
〔If you’d like to hear it again, please say ‘repeat’……〕
“…….”
Daisy’s mind growing distant, she closed her eyes without thinking.
This is MBTI, you absolute lunatics.
* * *
What kind of madman assigns dormitories using MBTI.
The magical helmet in charge of their assignments urged her to answer.
〔Please answer using numbers from 1 to 7.〕
“MBTI? This isn’t science, it’s…….”
〔Please answer using numbers from 1 to 7.〕
“Pseudoscience.”
〔……〕
The helmet, which had fallen silent for a moment, now spoke in a mechanical voice that had become not merely familiar but utterly tiresome.
〔Please answer using numbers from 1 to 7.〕
I’m going to lose it.
Daisy squeezed her eyes shut.
Her head was pounding.
But that didn’t mean she could stand here wearing this helmet forever.
In that case……
“Fine then. I’m going to game this MBTI system like my life depends on it.”
Daisy nodded her head with grim determination.
If I want an image of someone ordinary, honest, and gentle……
〔Please answer using numbers from 1 to 7.〕
“7!”
Definitely introverted!
* * *
〔This is the final question.〕
“Please, just assign me somewhere already!”
Why are there so many questions……
Exhausted by the endless barrage, Daisy clenched her teeth.
〔When you experience injustice, how intense is the anger you feel. 1. Very mild. 3. Neutral. 7. Very intense……〕
“10.”
〔The scale goes from 1 to 7……〕
“10.”
〔……〕
“10.”
〔……I will now begin assignment……〕
Having obtained all the data, the helmet began searching for Daisy’s dormitory placement.
Daisy clasped her hands together like an INFP who swears by MBTI.
Oh helmet, please let it be the Garden of Thorns.
I really was such a diligent employee, never once late to work.
〔……〕
〔……〕
〔……〕
Why is this taking so long?
As if it had sensed Daisy’s bitter impatience, the helmet emitted its mechanical voice.
〔Thank you for your patience.〕
Though it was just a toneless machine voice, it somehow sounded exhausted.
〔Daisy Seablet Heart’s dormitory is……〕
In that moment, a mechanical voice rang out loud and clear from the helmet.
〔The Bear’s Labyrinth!〕
What?
