I headed towards the academy in a carriage, where it was just Elena and me. I used the Doppelgänger (C) skill, and now there were two copies of me in the carriage, identical clothes and all, which made this skill quite convenient.

Also, today I had a different style, I wore double braids in my hair and I had huge circular glasses which covered most of my face, they were just for decoration without any magnification.

I had to hide my beauty that could draw too much attention, even so, I seemed to stand out, because of my innate aura that is difficult to hide, but it is better than before.

this is the most I can do, it is forbidden to bring artifacts that affect others and those that affect perception are included.

Without hesitation, I changed my appearance and dressed in the male uniform that the academy had given me a few days ago.

On the other hand, Elena and my female self were wearing the female version of the uniform.

From the moment I saw it, I loved it. It looked especially good on Elena.

On top, it consisted of a shirt with a buttoned jacket on the chest, with a pocket bearing the kingdom's logo.

The main color was white, with some gold embroidered details. While men wore pants and women wore skirts, you could actually wear a skirt even if you were a man, and pants if you were a woman. It was a matter of culture and personal preference.

Since I want my clone to act with ethereal, aloof elegance, plus there is no strict tradition in my family about women wearing pants, except for things like horseback riding, I opted to keep the skirts long.

I've been wearing dresses for three years now, so I'm used to it. Besides, it will be my clone wearing them most of the time. The colors and length of the skirts and pants were optional.

Elena and I (female) opted for long skirts, almost to the ankles, while I (male) wore regular pants, I chose gray.

The colors were white and gray, depending on what each one preferred.

Another thing is that I asked for a uniform with a very short skirt, as to how to convince Elena to wear it is another matter, in which I would have to risk my pride and my integrity, but I will surely succeed.

As what I was doing was technically not legal. Tristan was the driver of the carriage at my request, I had already spoken to him to keep the secret.

He had been an accomplice of mine since I created this identity, though at the time I didn't know what it was for.

Only the two of them knew that I could change my appearance and have a clone, just as I planned to enter the academy with a double identity.

so I didn't have to create any excuse for the rest of the servants and my stepmother, for them I simply go to the academy to avoid my marriage with.... hum.... what was her name? Well they thought it was to avoid marriage to my fiancé whose name I had not forgotten at all.

Well I had already joined as Tristan's supposed son, taking on the role of a guard for Miss Silvercrest.

So technically I am like Elena and from the outside everyone would understand that we are like her followers and bodyguards and I have to act like one.

My alibi was perfect, no one in my family knew about my ability to transform and clone myself plus I had made a magical contract with Tristan to secure it with his due consent of course. 'No, I didn't force him to sign it, I swear.'

my persuasive words with touches of my abuse of authority technique were enough to convince him calmly, as I said nothing against his will was committed.

The fact that I had told him my plans and what I was going to do, only after he signed is just another small unimportant detail, but as they say 'the order of factors does not affect the outcome'.

As we made our way to the academy, which fortunately was close by, I knew this would be the last time I would travel by carriage.

The academy had its own residential place for students, and my beautiful stepmother had accepted my request to reside there after I asked her.

That reminds me of the time Elena asked me a question I found offensive and rude: she dared to ask if I had my stepmothers as a target, since she had learned of my reincarnation and my lacking parental feelings.

To tell you the truth, I am offended that you look at me as a degenerate with no principles.

Well, the truth is that I am a degenerate, but I have principles, and one of them is not to go after happily married people.

I have not gone to the point of wanting to NTR other people and touch happily married women, let alone my own father of this life.

Both stepmoms are sexy and mature, with good looks. I already said they're sexy?...and kind.... Well, the important thing is that I'm principled enough not to touch them...yet...I mean ever.

That old fucker who makes me call him 'daddy' doesn't like me, but he certainly consents to everything I do, so at least I won't try him.

It's not because one scares me, or because the other somehow gives me the creeps despite her soft looks when she smiles.

Besides, I already have a married MILF in my targets at the academy. Honestly, I'm going to do whatever it takes to add her to my harem.

What, what was that about principles and not touching married women? I just said 'happily married'...and the MILF pulled straight out of all my fantasies had a bad marriage so it was all good...if all is correct, her bad marriage left a lot to work with.

"huheheheuehe"

"(¬_¬ )"

'Alright, I'm not going to laugh anymore, so stop looking at me like a cockroach.'

In fact, better not, lately I feel that cold and disdainful look from Elena is how she expresses her love shyly.

So she doesn't look at me as a cockroach that deserves to be stepped on, but with tenderness expressed in her own way, if that's what it is (she has altered perception of reality). So no need to change.

The carriage finally arrived at the destination.

The academy was a prestigious place and was full of talented young people from all over the kingdom. I knew that here I would find good prospects for my harem. And I couldn't wait to see with my own eyes what destiny had in store for me.

I quickly went downstairs as I shook hands with my Doppelgänger, who acted with nonchalant grace and let out a noble air that came by default in Seraphina.

It felt strange to shake hands with myself and treat him as my mistress, but it was necessary.

I watched as all the students around looked in awe in our direction, or, rather, looked in the direction of my Doppelgänger and Elena, as they were both beauties of a very high order.

'Damn I'm too beautiful to go unnoticed' the plan failed, but I didn't expect much.

A quick glance told me that these were not simple looks of appreciation, as I could see their status windows.

In fact, they need not have constant lust for me; if they felt it for just a moment, it was enough to see them later whenever I wanted and it also affected those who looked lustfully at my Doppelgänger.

Men and women alike felt lust towards her and perhaps towards me too, since I am handsome, although not as handsome as Seraphina, who causes chaos just by appearing.

My previously programmed Doppelgänger followed nonchalantly forward as Elena and I followed behind.

On the other hand, Tristan returned to the mansion; his work ended with this.

Let's ignore that he let out a big, deep sigh, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden, rather than the fact that for the past few days he had been nervous and tense all the time, like a criminal afraid of being caught.

It's not as if he had done anything wrong.

We went straight to one of the academy's many facilities, which was huge and excessively large just to house approximately 300 students.

Guided by a brochure provided by the academy as Elena directed us, we walked through the halls of the elegant and well-structured academy.

This academy was ancient and when it was created, the kingdom spared no expense, fueling the place where nobles, wealthy merchants and elite knights are trained, in order to maintain a high standard in the human resources of the kingdom.

giving Elite education to people for years, but this year and 5 years ago they concentrated only on the most outstanding potentials of the generation, for the Age of the Gods that was to come.

Their floors were marble, and the pillars and walls were carved with beautiful engravings. From time to time, you could see painted walls depicting different scenarios, which made you feel like you were in some kind of art museum. It was completely cool; everything was like a new experience.

While it's true that my alternate self gave me a lot of memories, it's not like she gave me all the memory of every day of her life. What my alternate self gave me was a mixture of many memories, of their life and their feelings and thoughts,

The only thing that is structured perfectly is the main plan, as well as the major events in the world, of which I must take advantage, as well as others that, although not so relevant, can be very helpful if I take advantage of them correctly.

There are also countermeasures and plans to many many many other things, honestly my alternate self seemed paranoid about that, but in any case any information, from the future is valuable in its own way

Another thing he made sure to convey to me perfectly was the opinion and feelings he had it to many people, that I will meet in the future some were positive like Elena and others were negative like William, some were just neutral opinions, all perfectly clear and structured, with their time and place correctly described.

On the other hand, there are numerous memories and information of other events that, although not so important, are useful.

The problem is that the latter were messy and sometimes without context, which felt like a jigsaw puzzle, as they had no specific order or anything.

I myself had to put them together according to the scenes and the little context in them, as well as the apparent ages and who appeared in the memory, and I'm still not sure if that's entirely correct.

On the other hand, the journal that disappeared after putting mana in is also now a memory fragment, and it made it easier to piece together some easy things to piece together some things from the other memories.

So, although I have seen many things and thoughts from my alternate self, I haven't seen everything, and except for a few warnings, I don't have to follow in my alternate self's footsteps.

In fact, he did all this so that I would not follow in his footsteps. But, still, there are events that I have to make sure I follow through on.

It's kind of like a game where I need to complete side quests to advance the main quest, and those things are where more of my alternate self focused on the memory fragments.

And the thing about making a harem, oddly enough he never left any of that out, but being the myself I'm sure he thought it was unnecessary to say anything, it's just implied in all of his memories, I mean it's impossible for him being myself to give up on that...right?
