Chapter 138 – Leader’s Meeting
Nina and I, who had been living buried in a pile of paperwork to prepare for practice, were finally able to finish preparations for practice after a long day of work.
Since we handed over the list of items we had written to the academy, it was now the domain of Noble Academy.
The two of us left Noble Academy with the excuse that we had come out to get additional supplies for practice to commemorate the completion of preparations for practice.
Then, I entered the high-class restaurant that I had promised to visit sometime, rented a private room, and ordered a course meal there.
After a while, the courses we ordered started to come out, and Nina and I slowly started eating.
“Even in the El Pario Empire, the food tastes as good as the expensive restaurants in the Bregern Empire.”
“I remember that the chef working at this store said he was from the Bregern Empire.”
“hehehe. To eat food made by people from the same country in a foreign country. It feels like something new.”
As expected, as Nina said, coming out to a foreign country and eating dishes made by people from the same country gave me a new feeling.
The Bregern Empire and the El Pario Empire had similar but different food cultures.
The representative food is the staple food. In the Bregern Empire, beef or pork was the main focus, but in the El Pario Empire, dishes made with bird meat such as chicken were famous.
This restaurant is headed by a member of the Bregern Empire, so naturally, the dishes here were mainly beef and pork.
“Oh, by the way. Come to think of it, an official notice came this morning.”
“An official letter?”
I was diligently cutting the main dish, steak, with a knife, when Nina suddenly brought up the story of an official document.
“As much as when we were at the academy, we decided not to talk about work while eating.”
“I’m sorry. However, I couldn’t help it because the official letter was from the boy.”
“Is it from me?”
Nina’s words made me question.
No, why did an official letter come to me?
I didn’t do anything wrong.
“Hmm. It’s not because the young master did bad things, it’s related to practice.”
Nina took a big spoonful of her stew and continued her conversation.
“We’re going to practice in two weeks now, right? They say they’re going to gather the leaders who will lead each group in the practice, talk about what to pay attention to during the practice, and select a group to practice together.”
“Are you going to practice together?”
I questioned Nina’s words.
From noble mtl dot com.
Do you practice together? What does that mean?
“Wasn’t one group dispatched to one region?”
“That’s right, unlike Royal Academy, Noble Academy seemed to tie two groups together and send them to one region.”
Then Nina began to explain Noble Academy’s educational policy.
Royal Academy is self-sufficient. In other words, there are guidelines and teachings, but it was an irresponsible method of education in which the cadets had to train themselves while following the professor’s teachings on their own without any guidance.
On the contrary, Noble Academy said that professors actively intervene so that students can reach a certain level, and encourage them to work in teams or groups to foster a sense of cooperation.
“That’s why this practice is also about forming a group and not only working in one group, but tying two groups together to build up experience when moving in an organized manner.”
“It’s amazing.”
Perhaps this active teaching method is the reason for the higher achievements of Noble Academy compared to Royal Academy.
There must be a reason why Noble Academy always wins in friendly matches between the two academies.
“So, make sure you don’t miss out. You get it, right?”
“It sucks.”
However, it could be said that the Royal Academy was better in terms of directly experiencing such an educational method.
I could spend a leisurely time there as long as I solved the given task.
“Please attend even if you see my face. I have to do my part here so that I can return with dignity.”
“Okay. I’ll attend.”
Whew, Nina begged me like that, but I couldn’t help but turn away.
I can’t help it.
“I got married to the young master later. Wouldn’t it be nice if others imitated my future wife?”
“If others imitate Nina, I will take care of it first.”
“…….”
This is true.
If someone mocks Nina behind her back, he’s going to take care of me.
“Bocchan doesn’t mind making embarrassing noises.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Someone said there was one here. It’s just the two of us.”
So the two of us continued our meal without saying anything.
After finishing the meal, I returned to the lab and checked the contents of Nina’s official letter.
[From: Noblesse Academy Education Administration Office]
[Recipient: Noblesse Academy Nina Gratias Esselton Exchange Professor]
We will inform you from the Noblesse Academy Education Administration Office.
We would like to convene a leader to lead each group in preparation for future external practice.
Therefore, I would like to ask Professor Nina Gratias Esselton’s advisor, Adalbert Lane Med, to inform her of the meeting.
There is no penalty for non-participation, but please encourage attendance as much as possible to contribute to creating an academic atmosphere within the academy.
The meeting place is the outdoor terrace at the back of the main building, and the meeting time is tomorrow at 7pm.
In addition, if you have not submitted a list of items to be used during the practice period, please submit it by tomorrow.
It’s an outdoor terrace at the back of the main building.
It’s a place I’ve never been to, but I’ve seen it a few times while passing by, so it didn’t seem too difficult to find it.
Dinner time is from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, so in effect, the meeting was to be held after dinner.
–
The next day at 7 p.M.
On the outdoor terrace at the back of the main building of Noble Academy, I was able to meet the students who were in charge of this practice.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Adalbert Rainmed.”
“I’ve heard a lot of stories. I heard you have an advisor?”
Seeing that the advisor brought up the story, it seemed that a stereotype had developed among the students that I was a poor student who was suffering because of the advisor.
Should I say it’s better because it’s different from the past when I was treated like a suspicious person no matter what I did?
“Yes.”
“Then, becoming the leader was not voluntary, but was forced because of the professor.”
“If you think about it, right?”
After hearing my answer, several captains looked at me with pity.
No, it’s true that I was in charge of Nina’s request, but she couldn’t help it because she had to maintain her advisory status in order to stay with Nina.
“Well, some of the people here are in charge of the same level as you, so I don’t think you need to worry that much.”
“That would be nice.”
“Ehh, everyone suffering because of professors is the same. All students suffer because of professors.”
Is it because of the common theme of being a professor? I was able to easily converse with the people who led me.
Most of them were close to lamenting that it would be nice if they gave us some assignments in moderation, though.
“Oh, come to think of it, I heard you blocked the instructor’s attack during the entrance exam and even counterattacked, is that true?”
At the time we were talking for so long, a female student asked me about an incident that had occurred during the entrance examination.
Looking at me asking for authenticity and looking at me with suspicious eyes, I wonder if they’re trying to get into a fight.
However, it is the newbies who show their outward displeasure here.
A skilled mercenary never shows emotion.
“Yes.”
“I’m sure. I vouch for it. I’ve seen this guy take the test.”
As she looked at me with suspicion, the person next to her stepped in and even vouched for her.
Then, the suspicion in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
“Hmm, is that so? Then can you do sparring just once?”
“Dalian?”
I was quite taken aback by her sudden request for sparring.
No, what kind of sparring request is that all of a sudden?
“No, I’m not asking you to do it right now. Actually, I got stuck while practicing my sword by myself. I think I need to learn something through sparring, but I need help.”
“Is that so?”
I heard you say that you need sparring to achieve enlightenment, so the doubts you showed earlier were probably doubts about whether or not I could be of any help to you.
Here or there. Seeing that a strong person demands sparring in order to attain enlightenment, I thought that the place where people live is no different.
“Good.”
Since the opponent requested sparring, it would be reasonable to grant it.
“Instead, it would be a little difficult with bare mouth.”
However, you can’t do it for free.
You ask for sparring in order to attain enlightenment, but asking for sparring without any payment is an unscrupulous act.
