Episode 117 – The lead manager recognized him
Two days passed since the stone drake hunt.
At Noble Academy, the first day of the new semester has dawned.
Adalbert also got up early in the morning and put on his school uniform.
When he was attending the Royal Academy, he was often helped by Nina in everything.
However, Nina was not by his side now.
Now, as a professor at Noble Academy, she was in a position to teach her students, and Adalbert was a student who had to learn something from her.
Adalbert, dressed in school uniform, stood in front of the mirror.
She had glossy white hair down to her waist, and her noble appearance hadn’t changed.
But, Adalbert’s complex, the squinting eyes that seem to be closed, hasn’t changed at all.
Fortunately, however, when the smile disappeared from the corners of his mouth, his eyes opened to the point where he could clearly see his pupils.
Instead, Adalbert, whose smile had disappeared, had a completely different impression.
Adalbert smiled and felt the divinity of a priest who looked suspiciously benign.
However, the moment the smile disappears from his face and the moment he opens his eyes, the former sanctity disappears.
And in that place, a terrifying presence appeared that numb the hamstrings of those who make eye contact.
So Adalbert, as before, never tried to erase the smile from his lips.
Due to the fact that he walks around with a smile, he has been misunderstood by others a few times, but everything has been resolved amicably.
But this also had a downside: not everyone believed Adalbert’s explanation.
However, nine out of ten were on the side of believing Adalbert’s explanation, so it was a very different look from before, when nine out of ten did not believe in the explanation.
Anyway, Adalbert put on his school uniform, tidied up his clothes one last time, and smiled to finish all the preparations.
Coming out of his room, Adalbert locked the door.
If you lock the door, no one other than the user of the room can enter the room.
The reason was that the entire room was enchanted.
The clumsy petty thief didn’t think of robbing the dormitory because it would take a very good wizard a long time to break through this spell.
If there was one exception, it was the leadership of Bless.
“Hey there. Are you Adalbert Rainmed?”
Enrique, a member of Bless and the head of the lead department, called Adalbert.
Adalbert went up to him wondering what was going on when a scary-looking person he had never seen pointed out and called him.
“I am Adalbert Rainmed, what did you call me for?”
“My name is Enrique, the leading manager of Bless.”
“I see. Good evening, Enrique Senior Manager.”
When Adalbert introduced himself to Enrique, he greeted him courteously and politely.
Obviously, since Adalbert was older than Enrique, it was okay to use short words, but Adalbert used honorifics.
‘What is it? This guy, isn’t it awkward for him to use honorifics for someone younger than himself?’
Enrique was inwardly surprised to see Adalbert using honorifics without hesitation.
People who enter Noble Academy because they are old often believe in their age and come out arrogantly to students in higher grades.
Of course, the leadership team used to make such a student an example and fix it so that he could not lead a normal academy life for a few weeks.
And then, it was Adalbert who just entered the target.
Enrique was concerned that Adalbert was 18 years old and that he had beaten the instructor in his entrance exam.
If he believed only in his own skills and destroyed the hierarchical order created by the difference in grade, all order that Bless had maintained until now would collapse.
In order to prevent this, Enrique thought, he should subdue Adalbert if he behaves impudently.
However, contrary to his expectations, Adalbert greeted him very politely and treated him like a senior.
So, Enrique couldn’t bear to say anything to Adalbert.
After the first attempt failed, Enrique’s head started spinning at breakneck speed.
He checked his clothes first.
It was because some of the older students said that the school uniform was inconvenient and came in slightly broken the rules.
However, in Enrique’s eyes, Adalbert’s school uniform was flawlessly perfect.
On the contrary, Enrique was at a loss for words when he saw him dressed in a school uniform more perfect than himself as the head coach.
However, there was a high possibility that he would lose his authority as the lead manager if he showed a foolish appearance here.
“Look there. That person is senior Enrique, the leading manager of Bless.”
“Wow, you look so scary.”
“By the way, what did the white-haired man do wrong to be caught like that?”
Most of the sounds I heard around me were about Enrique.
Occasionally, some wondered why Adalbert was being held captive by Enrique for some reason.
At this, Enrique spoke to Adalbert in the most casual way.
“I called because some of the older freshmen often didn’t wear their uniforms according to the rules, but since I don’t have to point out, they are perfectly dressed, so it can be said that they are really good.”
That was to praise Adalbert’s current appearance.
He made this decision for a reason, because at a meeting not long ago, the president of Bless asked him not to be hostile.
So, rather than antagonizing him, he thought it better to praise him for his exemplary behavior.
If Enrique hadn’t even thought of this much, he wouldn’t have entered Bless.
“Is that so?”
“Let’s continue to show a good side of ourselves. I want older freshmen to lead an exemplary academy life like you. You may go.”
By adding a few words of praise, Enrique let go of Adalbert.
After confirming that Adalbert was walking far away, Enrique called one of the leading members.
“Hamilton.”
“Yes, manager.”
“Find out which class Adalbert Rainmed is in and which class he is taking.”
“Okay.”
The leader said he would understand Enrique’s request and nodded.
‘He is a scary guy. I see, the president had a reason not to turn them into enemies.’
Enrique raised his evaluation of Adalbert by two levels.
In the past, it was ‘even if they were hostile, but the president was overly concerned’, now it was ‘to the extent that turning them into enemies would be quite a headache’.
‘He is a great guy. He knew he would stand out, so he expected me to call him, so he came wearing a perfect school uniform in advance.’
To Enrique, Adalbert has become a scary guy.
‘If that guy becomes a member of our Bless, no, even if he doesn’t, if he becomes a person who gives us strength, that alone will be a great benefit to us.’
Enrique, as the chairman said, rather than antagonizing Adalbert, he began to think that it would be good to keep the relationship as friendly as possible even if he failed to recruit him.
“As expected, the chairman is amazing.”
“Yes?”
From noble mtl dot com.
In response to his self-talk, the leading member standing next to him answered.
“Nothing.”
Of course, Enrique pretended to be nothing.
In this way, the head of the guidance department and one member of the guidance team were able to weed out those who wore the school uniform poorly among the freshmen, and 23 students received penalty points today alone.
–
Adalbert entered the designated classroom and sat down in a random seat.
Why?
Because it was written that way on the blackboard.
[Don’t fight from the first day, sit anywhere and wait for class.]
Adalbert was waiting for class, sitting in a suitable seat as written on the blackboard.
How many minutes has passed?
An old man with a slightly older and benevolent appearance entered the classroom.
Then everyone’s eyes turned to the old man.
“Heh heh heh. Nice to meet you My name is Jason, who will give you an overview of basic academy life today.”
As the old man said his name, the chalk on the blackboard came to mind and he began to write his own handwriting.
[Jason Mioran Verus]
“My name is Jason Mioran Verus. Here at the academy, we are teaching basic magic, albeit weakly.”
Jason said what he taught at Noble Academy and then waved his hand at the boxes stacked in the corner of the classroom.
Then the box opened and the book flew through the sky and landed on the desk where the students were sitting.
On the outside of the book was written ‘Guidelines for Noble Academy freshmen’.
“Today’s first lesson is to find out what life at Noble Academy will be like. Then everyone, please open page 3 of the book.”
The first class was to find out how things were going at Noble Academy.
