Episode 107 – Preparing for a secret meeting
Nina, who was Alberto Salihar Meidern’s exclusive handmaid, was participating in the Noble Academy’s entrance ceremony.
She
She, of course, did not participate as someone’s maid, nor did she participate as a freshman entering the school.
Now, as a professor at the Royal Academy, she was dispatched here to promote friendship between the Noble Academy and the Royal Academy and to promote her academic exchanges.
But she was dispatched because of her good words, Nina had no ties to Noble Academy.
In the first place, when she was dispatched to another place, it was always right to send someone who had some connection with the region to which she was dispatched.
Why? This was because dispatching meant not simply staying there for a short period of time, but for a minimum of a few months to a maximum of several years.
If it was a simple business trip, it would have been about a month at the most, but due to the nature of the academy, the dispatch period had to be long.
A month is too short to teach someone something.
And, in a place called an academy, the curriculum is determined on a semester-by-semester basis.
Usually, one semester takes about three to four months, but Noble Academy has a total of two semesters a year, and each semester takes about four months.
Then, a total of eight months would be spent on education, and the remaining four months would be spent on reorganization.
“Haa… ….”
If Nina, who attended her entrance ceremony, had a problem, it was ‘how will she teach students in the future?’
From noble mtl dot com.
The educational policy of the Royal Academy was ‘laissez-faire’.
If you only receive the minimum amount of classes, you have to find the rest yourself, study, and learn something.
However, Noble Academy was helping students put knowledge into their heads to a certain extent, rather than leaving them to do it themselves.
Because of the difference in education method, there were many differences between Noble Academy and Royal Academy.
If there are students who are good at Noble Academy or Royal Academy, there are bound to be students who are not.
However, while Royal Academy’s laissez-faire education led to a huge gap between top and bottom students, Noble Academy’s gap was relatively small.
There was no such thing as a gap, but even students with poor academic achievement had at least basic common sense.
Royal Academy had a steep slope, while Noble Academy had a gentle slope.
‘To think I have to teach each and every one… I’d rather be at the Royal Academy.’
She was at a loss as to how to teach her students in the future.
In the first place, at the Royal Academy, she focused on ‘research’, not ‘education’.
The reason why she received her title of nobility was because she found a way to increase the production efficiency of healing potions used to heal wounds through joint research with Professor Julia.
If the existing method used 100 ingredients to make 5 potions, the new method she and Professor Julia found was to make 6 potions with half the ingredients.
Of course, there may be some error, but I was able to make twice as many potions with the same efficacy with the same ingredients.
So, Professor Julia, who did this kind of research, was given the title of count, and her co-researcher, Nina, was given the title of baron.
Anyway, Nina’s constitution was optimized for research rather than teaching, so she agonized over how to teach her students.
But since she doesn’t even know anyone at Noble Academy, who would she ask for a syllabus?
In the end, she made up her own syllabus by referring to other professors’ syllabuses stored in the library.
It took three days to make it.
For three days she had not slept well and had devoted all her time to creating her syllabus.
So now she couldn’t afford to get a greeting from the other professors sitting next to her.
‘Ugh, it’s hard… The Bocchan was really amazing.’
In the midst of the hardship, she thought of Alberto, and a smile appeared on her lips, albeit for a moment.
And in her eyes, a person entered.
‘That person…… ?’
What caught Nina’s eye was her white hair, which reached her waist.
The man, whose eyebrows and hair were all white, was wearing plain clothes.
However, the aura that radiated from him proved that he was no ordinary person.
Just like the old Alberto.
‘I must be crazy. Why does that person remind me of Master Alberto?’
Nina looked at her man and rebuked herself for thinking of Alberto.
Alberto is dead.
Not in this world.
However, Nina kept her eyes on the man.
Skinned eyes similar to Alberto’s.
A nose that resembles Alberto.
A smile on his lips that resembles Alberto’s.
However, the atmosphere that emanated from him was completely different from Alberto’s.
The atmosphere she felt from Alberto was friendliness and comfort.
However, when she saw the white-haired man, she felt not the friendliness and comfort she had felt for Alberto, but the sanctity that one might see in a priest who worships a god like her.
The smile of that man she was looking at was not the smile of a suspicious person, but the smile of a god who benevolently looks down on all things in the world.
Then, her eyes met the eyes of the white-haired man.
‘Are you looking at me?’
When she realized that the white-haired man was watching her, she had doubts.
For she began to sense something very familiar in the white-haired man looking at her.
The reason was unknown.
It’s just that the feeling of meeting someone important for the first time in a very long time appeared in that man.
Then, the white-haired man looked at Nina and opened her mouth.
[Nina Esselton.]
And then a voice came into her head.
[Wouldn’t you like to know the whereabouts of Alberto Salihar Maydern?]
The owner of that voice was asking about Alberto.
She was taken aback when she heard the name Alberto, but soon regained her composure.
It was because I didn’t know what the being that was talking to me in my head wanted.
[Wouldn’t you like to know where the man who used to be your lover is now?]
To her surprise, she realized that it was a white-haired man who was sending a voice to her.
It was because the shape of his mouth matched the content of his voice.
[Whoa, if you want to know, come out to the empty lot behind the Noble Academy dormitory after the entrance ceremony.]
He was calling himself.
An empty lot behind the Noble Academy dormitory.
She knew what was there.
In the open space at the back of the dormitory, there was a space covered by shrubbery where you could sit and relax or have confidential conversations.
It was a place prepared by the academy, which wanted students to share romance through natural encounters.
When she saw him calling him there, she thought he was trying to say something that no one else could say.
She gave a small nod of her head.
She sent her will to know.
The white-haired man opened his mouth again.
[Okay. Then, let’s meet in the evening after the entrance ceremony and after the dormitory allocation is over. If you have a seat first, I will come to you.]
After that, I couldn’t hear the voice that seemed to belong to the white-haired man anymore.
Nina was just waiting for the entrance ceremony to end quickly.
–
After confirming that Nina nodded, I was able to put on a satisfied expression.
‘Is this enough?’
There was a reason I asked Nina to meet her in the vacant lot behind her dorm.
This is what I found out in the last few days, but it is said that Noble Academy doesn’t interfere too much with students’ dating.
No, rather, it was said that various facilities had been built so that the two of them could spend a secret time in the empty lot behind the dormitory so that they could enjoy a tryst.
In other words, it was rather that Noble Academy encourages romance between students.
The curious thing is that only one couple could enter a facility, and it is said that there is a magic so that no one else can disturb the two people’s time.
The place I was looking for was right there.
To be honest, I was going to reveal my identity to Nina after a while, but I decided to quickly reveal her identity to Nina only.
Of course, this tedious entrance ceremony had to end quickly.
That way, the dormitory assignment will be made and I will be able to go see Nina.
Sure, how will Nina react?
