I Want to Be a Receptionist of The Magic World Chapter 4 part2

UNTIL I BECAME A RECEPTIONIST CHAPTER 4 Part 2
Translator: Masakibluei
Nanari: “It's intentional! Can't you be a little gentle with a lady here!?”
Just a couple seconds ago, he is still laying his head down on the table then suddenly he wakes up like that? This is his tendency. I pointed my finger at that hateful face, which is commonly revered as kind by the girls. Where is it? I cannot find any trace of kindness on his face! His face is reek of evil.
Lockman: “You too. Just a moment before, you smacked my back, right. Did you forget what you did? Stupid ice lady.”
Nanari: “Stop talking about a lady and stop calling me stupid ice.”
We are glaring at each other. After several years, my glare has become more intense. It's not something that makes me happy and my relationship with him has not changed up until now. No, maybe it has changed?
As the year goes by, our bad relationship becomes even worse. If we meet, we will quarrel. Sometimes we even get into a fight. At that moment, the whole class seems to pay attention and start to make a bet who will win.
Nanari: “This time I will freeze your whole body!” Lockman: “Hmmh. Do your best then.”
I summon cold air from my hand, while Lockman summons fire from his hand. The class then becomes so lively. There are cheers from Lockman's fans club. Their cheers go like this, “Alves-sama! Don't lose to the stupid ice lady!” It's fully loaded with insult for me. 
For the majority of the girls, Lockman is their hero while I am the villain.
Huff. What a farce. Shall I show them how the villain defeats the hero? (evil mode on Nanari)
Santanath: “Oi, the two of you. Don't fight.”
”Santanath, you are in the way. Move!”
Santanath who is trying to mediate the two of us are shot down by someone beside him.
Santanath: “Aa? It's Charcoal.”
Santanath mutters after he sees the person who just comes in.
Zenon: “What kind of sloppy name is that? That's my seat. You are in the way, so move aside.”
Santanath: “Hee, does our esteem prince has something important to do here? Good Grief.”
Zenon: “I have more legitimate things to do than you do. I've told, that's my seat.”
Right now, in front of me and Lockman who are in the middle of starting a fight, another fight erupts between Santanath and Prince Zenon. Lockman, who sees the opportunity that I do not pay attention to him due to being distracted by Santanath and Prince Zenon, quickly grabs my hand and burns it with his magic. I was so distracted that my reaction is delayed, I got attacked without any chance to withdraw. I writhe in agony for my burned hand.
Nanari: “Hot! It's burned!”
Lockman: “Well, your highness, you are friend with Santanath after all. Why don't you get along better?”
Kyaaa! I shout from the pain. Ignoring my cries, Lockman laugh and talk to the two boys in front of him. I try to get my revenge and freeze his hand but he summons fire on his hand. In the end, I'm unable to freeze him. Due to my ice magic, I don't get burned from his flame, which is good. But I have to be careful since Lockman does not stop his flame at all. Neither of us pulling out our hands or stop releasing our magic.

This damn brute. Has he become even stronger?
Zenon: “We are not a friend!”
Santanath: “That's right. It's unthinkable! Alves, you are a reasonable person, so you should know that this person is out of the question. He is charcoal after all.”
Zenon: “Stop about the charcoal thing!”
Prince Zenon who has black eyes and hair gets mad. Half the reason why Santanath calls him charcoal is because of jealousy. In fact, Santanath actually quite jealous of prince Zenon's black hair and eyes. Prince Zenon's black hair is beautiful, smooth and straight. Santanath does not like his own curly hair. Personally, I think curly hair is good too.
Even if I don't like to admit it, but to be able to speak to the prince of this country in a frank manner without any honorific require some courage. In this sense, Santanath is quite strong. Even Lockman is still using honorific when he talks to Prince Zenon. I wonder if he is trying to warn Santanath about his manner. But Prince Zenon does not say anything.
Is this fine?
Santanath: “Let's exchange seats. Why don't you sit on the front row?”
Zenon: “Don't be ridiculous. If you have a grudge, then have it on your terrible luck.” 　 Then again, if you look at them from a different perspective, they are quite friendly with each other, Santanath and Prince Zenon. They also seem to enjoy each other company to some extent which makes me relief. Maybe they are close enough to be able to quarrel with each other?
Santanath: “Oh yeah, Charcoal, this time you are 4th rank, right? That's amazing.”
Zenon: “Aa, in your case, you are definitely at the bottom huh. In a sense, that's pretty amazing too.”
Santanath who does not move from Prince Zenon's seat, acting like he owns the seat and speaks high praises toward Prince Zenon. Despite the sudden change of topic, Prince Zenon quickly retorts and wrinkles his eyebrows.
Prince Zenon is smart and also skilled in magic. At that time during the first lesson of Bloodline magic, in front of everyone, he was able to use high-level magic and summoned lightning even though it was his first time. In another class as well, we who were protected behind a barrier was being impressed by his extension display of magic. Prince Zenon is able to manipulate weather and to cast an attack of flash lightning in a vast range.
If you get shot just by one of them, you will be done instantly.
“But if I think about it, these two people are better than me,” said Prince Zenon while looking at both Lockman and me. Santanath agrees easily.
Stop it. Please don't talk about this.
Just the fact that this jerk is right beside me is enough to make me angry. If we start to talk about the exam, it becomes even more unbearable for me. Someday, my dream is to become number one in this school and mock the nobles,' You nobles can't even beat this commoner? Ho ho ho ho' like that. Especially Lockman, that guy is the very first person that I want to beat and mock like that. But… 　 “Alves is always number one and Hell is always number 2. Both in practical test and theory exam. Both of you are gifted and smart,” said Zenon while folding his arm.
Prince Zenon is different from other nobles. He does not care about status or commoner and he treats everyone the same. I heard since he is the third prince, he will join the kingdom's knight squad. The job of the knight is to protect the whole kingdom. So Prince Zenon said that making the distinction between nobles or commoners is just troublesome.
As expected, a prince is totally different. That's cool.
Slowly, Lockman's hand who is still holding my hand starts to freeze. Lockman realizes that the ice starts to grow to wrap his body with a crackling sound. In retaliation, he intensifies the fire on his hand.

Lockman: “You… That was dangerous!”
Hell is always second place. This has become the custom. Needless to say, the one that the prince mention to always be on the first top is Lockman. This time as well, I am crying with the weight of second place on my back. No matter how good I am comparing to other nobles, as long as I still lose to Lockman who is a Duke, I can't boast or mocks the nobles.
Nanari: “Uuuugh!! Just get freeze!!”　
Even now, I feel like biting my handkerchief.
KIIH! It's frustrating!
