I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 49 Self-pity

I saw a thin boy getting up from the corner and walking quickly onto the podium, as if someone was pushing him forward from behind.

"Hiss-hoo" the boy took a deep breath, trying to relax himself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lancelot, from Tucker Town in the south of the kingdom." Lancelot glanced at the audience and saw a few familiar faces, and continued: "I have no parents, only a nightmare childhood.

."

"This fool, why would you say such a thing?" Lilith thought to herself.

After all, if you say something like this, not only will you not be recognized, it may also attract ridicule from everyone.

"Maybe compared to everyone here, my life is full of misfortunes. What really makes me feel ashamed is that in the past three years, I spent almost every minute and every second in a state of confusion."

"..." The people under the podium looked at Lancelot in astonishment. They had never heard such a self-introduction before.

Frank in the corner silently looked at Lancelot on the stage. Unlike the others, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"So I decided to change from today on and make myself a qualified member of Class A!" Lancelot pressed his hands on the podium, his whole body trembling with excitement.

Just as everyone was looking forward to Lancelot's next words, the boy bowed deeply and walked straight off the stage.

In just a few sentences, the introduction is over.

The classroom suddenly fell into embarrassment. Everyone looked at each other, confused by Lancelot's confusing self-introduction.

Lancelot returned to his seat and began to stare out the window in a daze again.

"Ahem." Chris looked up and glanced at the wall clock on the wall: "It's lunch time. Students go to eat first, and we will continue class in the afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chris left in a hurry.

"Lancelot!" Frank waved to Lancelot and shouted, preparing to go to the cafeteria to eat with him.

Lancelot seemed not to have heard anything and walked out of the classroom alone, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Frank noticed something strange about Lancelot and hesitated to catch up.

He saw Lilith quickly following him, so he wrapped up his coat and went out the back door alone.

"Lancelot, wait!"

Lancelot turned around after hearing this and saw Lilith chasing after him from behind.

"Lilith, you are not with Dinah?"

"She went back beforehand. By the way, why are you acting strange today?" Lilith looked at the other party with a worried look and continued to ask: "Is it because of what happened this morning?"

"Morning?" Lancelot didn't respond for a moment.

"Yes, I see you have been absent-minded all morning." Seeing the boy's confused look, Lilith immediately became even more angry.

"I'm thinking about something." Lancelot forced a smile: "Don't worry Lilith, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Lancelot, we are friends, and friends must be honest with each other."

Lancelot hesitated for a few seconds, debating whether or not to tell the girl his thoughts.

Finally, he sighed and said: "Because of Frank, and also because of Leo."

Seeing the boy's evasive eyes, Lilith probably guessed what he was thinking.

"Let's go to the cafeteria first, and you can tell me slowly during the meal later." Lilith walked up to Lancelot and took the boy's arm.

The moment Lilith's hand touched the boy, Lancelot felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his heart beat faster inexplicably.

"Uh, okay." Lancelot agreed, and he and Lilith walked down the stairs toward the cafeteria.

Lancelot recalled what Frank said that morning, and he realized that he might have a new trouble.

——

The boy and the girl sat face to face and had a healthy lunch: browned bacon, a medium-rare beef rib, a small bowl of mashed potatoes, and finally a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice.

"I'm full." Lilith put down her knife and fork and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"But you still haven't eaten a lot." Lancelot glanced at the remaining steak on the other person's plate.

"I feel like I have no appetite." Lilith pushed the plate aside and said to the boy, "Now you can tell me what happened."

Lancelot was stunned for a second when he heard this, then he forked the last piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, hesitatingly saying: "Well, okay."

"What do you want to know?" The boy threw the wiped napkin into the empty plate and pushed it to the other side.

"About your roommate, Frank."

Lilith paused and then said: "That boy with yellow hair doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette. Dinah and I don't have a good impression of him."

"Haha, that's the kind of character he has. Just get used to it." Lancelot smiled helplessly and continued to explain: "Actually, Frank is not a bad person, but he is a little too enthusiastic."

"Humph, he is your roommate, so you will naturally speak for him. I don't hate him as much as Dinah does, but he is indeed a bit rude." Lilith pouted, not believing the boy's words.

"Don't be angry. I'll let him pay attention to it later when we get back."

"By the way, what did you mean when you said you were troubled because of Frank?"

Lancelot sighed softly and roughly recounted to the girl the conversation he had with Frank last night.

Lilith nodded after hearing this and said: "I see, I appreciate people who are diligent and motivated."

"But, what's there to worry about? Is it because Frank is better than you?" Lilith curled her lips, expressing her incomprehension of Lancelot's thoughts.

"Like him, I have been an orphan since I was a child." Lancelot's eyes darkened when he said this, and his tone was a little lower: "He had already made up his mind to enter the Wizarding Academy four years ago and made a lot of efforts for it.

."

"But I am living like a zombie."

Lancelot's face showed unconcealable sadness, and he sighed again.

"Lancelot, your situation is different from his." The girl comforted.

"What's the difference?" Lancelot's tone became a little excited: "The only difference is that I wasted my good time, and Frank made changes in time."

"Believe me, it's not too late to start working hard now. And I know you are very talented and will catch up with them soon." Lilith said in a firm tone.

Lancelot nodded doubtfully: "Oh, this is all I can do now, I won't think about it anymore."

"Hehe, I'm relieved then." Lilith smiled happily after hearing this, and then stood up, preparing to put the used tableware back on the cleaning table.

Lilith seemed to suddenly remember something and sat down again.

"Wait a minute, what's going on there?"
