Episode 170 – Strangely Quiet Days
It feels a bit sudden these days, but Noble Academy is strange.
No, it wasn’t just the Noble Academy, everything I saw and felt was strange.
“Nina.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t something strange?”
I asked Nina to answer this question.
“Well? Isn’t it the same as usual?”
Nina tilted her head at my question and made an expression as if asking what she was talking about.
She didn’t seem to understand my intent with this question.
Well, there was a question I asked like an idiot.
Isn’t something strange right off the bat?
If Nina and I hadn’t been lovers, we would have been treated as strange or suspicious people and beaten up all at once.
No, I think I was treated similarly at the Royal Academy.
Isn’t it? Is it after that?
First, think about it later… Now was the time to figure out the strange signals from all my senses.
From noble mtl dot com.
If this sense close to the instinct that saved my life was sending a signal that it was strange, it must have meant that a major event was about to happen in the near future.
As long as I don’t act rashly like last time.
But this sense that saved my life also had a downside, and that was that I didn’t know when or where an incident would occur.
Because I didn’t provide any specific information other than that the closer the time when the incident occurs, and the closer I get to the place where the incident occurs, the stronger I become.
In the end, the information it sends is just a signal that something big is about to happen, and I have to find out what it is specifically.
It’s annoying, but it’s not a problem that can be ignored just because it’s annoying.
I gave Nina a rough outline of my visceral senses.
“Is that true?”
I could see Nina’s face changing moment by moment as she listened to my explanation, and her expression also becoming colorful.
As she listened to my explanation, she was surprised, and sometimes even frowned at her.
“Then, that instinctive sense for the young master? You mean it keeps sending signals that it’s weird?”
“Right, Nina.”
“But you don’t know where or what is going on.”
“That is true too.”
Nina and I exchanged our thoughts.
However, just sitting at a desk and thinking doesn’t mean you’ll get a particularly good number.
At that time, an idea popped into my head.
“Nina, can I stay away from Noble Academy for a while?”
“You think you are far away from Noble Academy?”
Nina didn’t quite understand what I was talking about.
Oh really. I need to fix this habit of blindly making suggestions without giving detailed explanations.
“Listen to me for a second.”
I pretended to put her ear to Nina, and she put her ear to her as she leaned over to me.
I put my thoughts into her ear.
“You haven’t been outside the Noble Academy lately, have you? So, I’m going to check if the strange feeling continues or disappears when I go out and come back from Noble Academy, or when I’m far away from Noble Academy.”
“But do I have to say it in my ear?”
“Because you never know. Someone might be eavesdropping, magically or otherwise.”
I just said it out of boredom that someone might be eavesdropping on our conversation.
“No way. The professor’s room is basically soundproofed, so no one except unauthorized people can hear the conversation inside.”
“Really?”
Hmm, that’s something I didn’t know about.
There is a soundproofing magic in the professor’s room.
In other words, isn’t it the best place for plotting?
“Brother? You’re not thinking of anything strange, are you?”
“Because of the soundproofing magic, if you can’t hear the conversation outside… It seemed like a good place to plot something. Whoop whoop…….”
“Eww, please don’t make that suspicious laugh. I thought it had decreased a lot lately, but it’s increasing again.”
“Oh, sorry.”
I thought that with Nina’s guidance, the whooping street that had been attached to it like a habit had reduced the laughter a lot, but it seemed like it was about to recur these days.
According to Nina herself, she didn’t find my laugh strange or suspicious because she had ‘known her for a long time’, but other people were very suspicious of my appearance.
I know this too, so she spent a lot of time trying to fix this habit, but it didn’t work out.
This is the only thing that has decreased a lot while going through various big and small incidents.
It was said that it was to this extent that it was gradually reduced while consciously saying that it should not be used.
“Well, it’s not like the professor and the students never conspired in the professor’s office, as you thought.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It happened to a certain professor before.”
Nina’s explanation was full of interesting things from her.
A student entered the Noble Academy, and one of the student’s relatives is said to have been a professor at the Noble Academy.
The professor wanted to give her good grades so that his relative, a freshman, could get a good grade at Noble Academy and get a job as a treasurer or administrator in a fairly prestigious estate.
But the freshman’s brain wasn’t very good, and he was in an awkward position, staying in the middle.
So Professor Lee called the freshman into his lab.
Externally, it was said that the professor himself felt sorry for the student in question and made her do chores to give her pocket money.
The professor used this as an excuse to hand over to the freshman how to get a good score on a test related to his subject and various information he had obtained from professors teaching other subjects.
It is said that even the answer sheet of the written test was included in the information.
As a result, shortly after this act, the new student became overly happy while drinking with his friends and had to reveal everything, and the imperial family, which can be said to be a higher institution than the Noble Academy, directly stepped forward and ordered an investigation. Did.
And the relationship between the freshman and the professor and various cheating were revealed, and the new student was immediately expelled and permanently banned from admission, and the professor was also said to have been expelled and had his records deleted.
Since then, Noble Academy has a provision that prohibits students and professors from being together in the laboratory for a long time, and it is said to have been maintained until now.
“By the way, doesn’t that mean cheating people are going away?”
“That is true. So what was introduced was a tool called the ‘Recording Crystal Ball’. Even now, the recording crystal ball is spinning in this room.”
As soon as she mentioned that it was a recording crystal ball, she added an additional explanation.
If the meeting lasts for more than 30 minutes with the recording correction ball, it is considered cheating, so you must submit the recording correction ball.
“Then do we have to submit too? That’s a bit difficult.”
“Ah, fortunately, it does not apply to the student advisor being with the advisor. For the growth of the student advisor, there is an exception that does not have to be submitted even if the record is over a few hours on the recording crystal sphere when you are with the advisor.”
“Instead, it should be as successful as that.”
“You are right. Instead of being considerate, it means that you should achieve that kind of performance.”
After listening to Nina’s explanation, she suddenly realized how heavy responsibility the system of student advisors and advisors was.
“But, well, I’m not particularly worried. If you’re strong enough now, you’ll be able to graduate.”
Well, I decided to put down my worries about graduation when Nina said that I could graduate with just my skills.
What I have to worry about right now is the strange feeling of not being able to pinpoint the location or timing.
“So are you going to give me permission or not?”
“…… I’ll give you permission. I was bored of shutting myself up at the Noble Academy, but it’s working out.”
Listening to the story, Nina also seemed bored since she had to stay at the Noble Academy.
“Then, shall we go out after a while and stop by the store?”
“I agree. Young master. It’s been a while since I thought of something sweet.”
Okay. Then, since I’ve obtained Nina’s permission, if I go out this time, I’ll go to a nice place and spend time alone with the two of us.
By the way, I wonder when the Executive Committee will contact you.
I hope you contact me before going out with Nina.
————————
“Oh, sorry. I’ve been busy with work, so I’m a bit late to contact you.”
“No. It’s not too late.”
Bless’ executive committee did not show up to me until about three weeks after that day.
“At that time, I scheduled a meeting with the author of the book you were curious about.”
And the news that he brought, it caught my attention.
Finally, it was an opportunity to meet the author of the book.
