I walked down the hallway as I was on my way to go to the usual café where I would meet up with Ellen and Shelly.

"I'm going to suffer under huge student loans this year Hari," a student complained.

"I swear that the tuition is increasing every year," Hari groaned.

"Who knew that they would make this year's tuition to be 1,000,000 Aris!" Hari continued to grumble as she almost cried from her rising debts.

Was our school tuition that expensive?

I never suffered from problems related to financial hardship as Luke's family put millions of Aris in my bank account that were all in the currency of the first district.

Did I have student loans that I didn't know about?

I found Luke and Alex near the same hallway as they came back from their usual sword practice.

They were both appeared sophisticated and neat like they had arrived at one of aristocratic social events.

There were no hints of sweat to indicate that they had come from an intense fight as one of them usually received tiny wounds from their practices.

I ran up to Luke and Alex as I wasn't in a hurry to meet Shelly and Ellen immediately.

"Do I have student loans?" I directly asked Luke.

"What do you mean?" Luke seemed equally confused as I was.

"I heard some students talk about their student loans increasing because of the expensive tuition," I explained.

"Then they should be complaining about our uniforms instead," Alex added as he joined our conversation.

"Why?" I questioned Alex as I tilted my head with puzzlement.

"Our uniforms cost the double of our yearly tuition," Alex answered me.

I gasped as I had tons of school uniforms in my closet. Few of my uniforms were unworn because they served as spares since I had so many of them.

No wonder Luke was confused when I asked him if I had any student loans.

It was abnormal for me to have any student loans when I possessed an affluent number of school uniforms that were double the price.

I thought it was normal to have the number of spares I had as both the closets of Shelly and Ellen resembled mine.

Since Luke was in charge of managing my closet due to my lack of interest, his closet was exactly like mine.

It was likely that Luke's family paid for my school tuition as there was no way that my middle-class family in the third district would be able to afford it.

I did have 'Roselia' as part of my middle name.

At this rate, I realized I took many things for granted. I was gradually losing my sense of money as I never bothered to search for the prices attached to my simple life in the first district.

I quickly recognized I was becoming more like Luke. Luke never looked at the price tags when he purchased the things he wanted whenever I went shopping with him.

"I need a part-time job," I declared to myself.

By earning money, I would gradually recover knowing the value of money as I knew the hard work that went behind earning it.


I never worked part-time before whether it was my past life or this life.

I was too busy with studying in both of my lives to even consider dedicating my time to this luxury.

"People of the Roselia family never work part-time jobs," Luke instantly disagreed.

Unfortunately, I had to agree with Luke as I was too busy with school to even consider doing any extra-circular activities.

I was still struggling to not bring down Luke as I barely managed to balance our scores out to not receive any minus points.

I apologized to Luke for that aspect every day in my heart as I knew that he would living with an affluent amount of points if he wasn't partnered to someone like me.

"I know," I sadly responded as I walked to the usual café after I said my farewells to Luke and Alex.

"You're late today," Shelly pouted as our usual desserts were already spread out on the table.

"I found out that I'm losing my sense my money," I confessed as told them my conversation with Luke and Alex in the hallway.

The light spring breeze came in through the open window. We liked this spot as we could bath in the sunlight while enjoying our usual desserts.

It was astounding how this amazing spot was always open whenever we visited the café.

The scenery healed our souls as various cute animals climbed on the tree that was right beside the window.

"I think we just live according to our means," Ellen gently came up with an explanation.

"They probably won't have as many responsibilities as us when they graduate," Ellen justified why we deserved the abundant luxuries that came to the palm of our hands.

I could only agree with Ellen half of my heart. She was right that they weren't pressured as much as I was to act like the perfect lady from the 'Roselia' family.

They probably weren't restricted in terms of what they could do as much as I was. However, they didn't deserve to be hindered by financial hardships that would prevent them from receiving the same opportunities that we did.

I helplessly sighed as I thought of the tainted system in the first district.
