291 – Get rid of the kids who can’t even bake – 1
Anyway, this year seems to be a year where things go well. Yeah, I’ve been rolling like a dog for a while, but I should have a comfortable year. If Enen has a conscience, it’s time to bless her exotics as well.
I am happy. Unexpected luck came one after another, as if the overdue blessings had exploded all at once. If there was no one nearby, I would have let out a roar of joy as I somersaulted to the north, south, east and west. No, I have the confidence to roar in all directions, not in all directions.
That’s why the laterter in front of me looked pretty today.
‘Our No. 3.’
Looking at Later, my eyes naturally warmed up. Until now, I thought it was a troublesome mountain range along with Ryutis, but I didn’t know it would do such a wonderful thing. He is also a wizard, a symbol of intellect.
Actually, when I showed up in the club room with no one there, I wondered what was going on. I was worried that he had come to ask for an unreasonable favor, or to voluntarily pay the tax due to an accident. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason why Later would come first.
“I’ll take care of the mages. I can’t bother with the busy torturers, though.”
But as soon as I heard that, my worry turned to joy. The prince of the powerhouse of magic will control the wizards? Doesn’t that mean I’ll figure out exactly what’s bothering me and do it for you?
“And if you can afford it, I have a favor to ask of you—”
“Don’t worry. If I can’t grant you a favor, I’ll ask you.”
Of course, the royals aren’t philanthropists, so there’s no reason they don’t move. I have something I want, so I will help, and fortunately, I can give what Laterr wants. It’s obvious what a wizard wants at this time.
So, before Later’s words were finished, he gave a definite answer. If you help me right, I’ll give you what you want.
“Thank you, advisor.”
After such a cool deal, La Terre bowed his head. Thank you. I’m more grateful
Even when I was in Jedo, I was worried about how to survive this year, but as soon as I came to the academy, the number of people I desperately needed increased one after another. It’s not that there are any flaws, but with excellent manpower.
Even Later, he was a slave, no manpower, who came out of nowhere. Unlike Ainter, who has to fulfill the duty of the imperial family, and Erich, who helps each other because he is his family, did not La Terre lend his hand out of his own will. Although it is the result of thorough calculations, how is it? Rather, I will work harder because the benefits were at stake.
‘It’s the best.’
I quietly closed my eyes as I watched Laterter leave the club room. Great, I can’t think of anything other than that.
Although I am the prospective companion of Ma Jong-gong, I cannot get close to the students due to my position as an inspector. Because of that distance, smooth control must have been difficult. However, when the student later cooperates, the problem of distance is resolved. In addition, since La Terre has the authority of royalty, it will be easier for him.
Of course, considering the insane madness and power of action of wizards, even the royal family would not be able to completely control it, but that’s enough. If the later is primarily filtered, only a few will remain, but that amount can be managed leisurely.
‘Thank you…’
I recalled the face of Later, the true reason of this era. Thank you so much. I’ll let you practice 1:1 training for an hour a day.
By the time you graduate from the academy, you will be the number one mage in Juven.
Contrary to the concerns before the opening ceremony, the academy was calm. I don’t know if the principal’s speech stimulated the freshmen’s conscience, or if the freshmen’s common sense and etiquette were solid, but the academy was peaceful anyway.
Besides, Villar, who manages foreign students, and Later, who controls wizards, are holding out, so how can there be a commotion? In case of emergency, Ainter and Erich can also be put in, so it is a lineup that makes your heart feel magnificent. I wonder if this is what it would feel like to secure General Ohho and play Liu Bigun.
“Without Lord Villar, two of his bodies would have been missing.”
So, with gratitude, I invited Villar to the club room. The other three can meet every club hour and take care of things, but aren’t they Villars? Coincidentally, Prince Majong is also away from class, so it’s perfect to invite someone.
“That’s too much praise. Even without me, the academy would have taken great care of the students.”
“hahahaha, that’s something I’m happy to say as an Imperial citizen. The principal will be happy too.”
I smiled slightly at Villar’s calm reaction and poured his tea. In fact, I was worried that Villar took over foreign students because it was the decision of the principal and I, but fortunately, he did not seem to have a grudge against the decision made in his absence.
Perhaps Villar also decided that role-sharing and cooperation were desperately needed to overcome this crazy admissions crisis. To be honest, if Villar didn’t take care of foreign students, there would be no answer. Nana and the principal are imperial people to touch…
“Still, it’s true that I was able to feel comfortable thanks to Lord Villar’s help. How can I hold back my thanks for helping me with foreign affairs?”
And then I handed the box that had been put down on the left side of the chair to Villar. Sincerity stands out when visible material comes and goes rather than words of appreciation.
“This is a small courtesy. There is no more valuable property for a knight than his body.”
Villar worked hard with me last year, Villar will play for another two years. It would be a lie if I did not feel a sense of sympathy and sorrow as a comrade who rolls with me.
That’s why he prepared a precious gift that can’t be found anywhere.
“A potion made by Lord Majong. It heals quite a few wounds right away, and if you consume it regularly, it will be good for your health.”
At those words, Villar’s eyes widened. No matter how little magic is involved, Villar cannot be unaware of the fame of Lord Majong. Even as a knight who rolls his body, high-quality potions are the most precious thing. If it was a potion made by Majonggong, it would be superior to any other potion.
“If you’re the one who’s indebted to the baby, you’ll have to work hard.”
And I also put a lot of effort into making Majonggong.
Even though it’s not like the 40-year longevity potion I’m taking, the potion doesn’t have a lifespan extension function in the first place.
“I’ve got Sir Perosa’s too, so please accept it.”
“Thank you. I didn’t expect to receive something so valuable.”
Villar hesitated for a moment, lest he seem like a snob if he took it too lightly, but when he said that his precious daughter had something to eat, his hand immediately moved. After all, from the father’s point of view, isn’t it more about the health of the child than the face?
“I’m ashamed of the gift I prepared for you.”
I lowered my eyes slightly at the slightly embarrassed remark. To be precise, in a well-wrapped box placed to the right of the chair.
From noble mtl dot com
As if I wasn’t the only one who felt a sense of kinship with Villar, Villar also prepared a gift for me. He was impressed when he gave it as a gift as soon as he came to the club room. My academy dispatch life wasn’t wasted years—I thought.
“A present for the Inspector General and his lovers. It is made by a well-known jeweler in Armin, so you will like it.”
I couldn’t raise my head when I said that I didn’t expect to prepare six pairs, but I didn’t expect that honest knight to buy bracelets. It is more touching when you receive an unexpected gift from an unexpected person.
“To say it’s shabby. Is there anything shabby about giving and receiving things that each other doesn’t have?”
Armain’s accessories that I can’t get, Villar’s special potion that I can’t get. It’s just a warm gift exchange where each other gave each other something they didn’t have. Is there anything to be shabby and excessive?
“It puts my mind at ease when you say that.”
I smiled at Villar, who smiled lightly.
I would be happy if everyone in the world had half of Villar’s personality.

I think I’ll get kin hatred. They are like mad dogs with nothing to see.
But I was able to stop on the brink of genocide because I fully understand how he became a mad dog. If I hadn’t been a member of the confectionery club, if I hadn’t made a deal with an advisor, I’d be one of those mad dogs too.
‘It’s not easy after all.’
He touched his forehead and let out a small sigh. She was prepared from the moment she tried to make a deal with the advisor, but she never thought it would be so annoying and irritating.
Unfortunately, the authority of the royal family could not stop all the blinded wizards. Aren’t they the people who gathered from all over the continent after seeing only Majonggong in the first place? They are too violent and full of madness to be stopped with just authority. Therefore, it was possible to achieve results only after adding subtle conciliation and small pressure to authority, and even that was not a perfect result.
‘Tough things.’
There were wizards who stood firm despite the fact that they were blocked terribly. People who have already openly filled out applications for confectionery clubs, and people who will submit them right away when the club application period comes up, are even mentioned.
“Brother Later?”
While I was sitting in the chair blankly like that, I heard Tanian’s voice.
“Tanian.”
I wanted to shake my hand, but I just nodded my head because I couldn’t. It’s rude in a way, but rather than rudeness, Tanian focused on my condition, which had no choice but to commit such rudeness.
“What’s wrong? You don’t seem to have any energy.”
“Would you like me to write your last name?”
“As much as you like.”
Tanian laughed at my words, put his hand on his head and recited a short prayer.
Thanks to that, I felt that my body was energized and my mind was clear. I really didn’t know you could do it.
“Is it because of club problems?”
He quietly nodded his head at the question as if he knew everything. It’s no secret that I became the gatekeeper of the confectionery club.
“You’ve been through a lot. I’m sorry that only Brother Later is suffering from this.”
“It’s something I did myself, so I can’t help it.”
Yes, that’s what I did. In fact, it was a difficult job, so it was possible to raise it as a trade condition. If it was easy and convenient, the advisor would have handled it easily.
Besides, strictly speaking, I’m not the only one suffering. As I turned on the light in my eyes and controlled it, some wizards started contacting other members. Rather than a hopeless path, I found a path with even a little possibility. In a very magical way.
“Then are you okay?”
And since Tanian is one of those members, one of the possibilities, he must be suffering in real time.
“I just came to tell you about it.”
Then Tani An opened his mouth with a deep smile.
“One of the newly admitted students from the Holy Church is planning to form a new confectionery club.”
?
“For those who want to join the confectionery club, how about directing them to the new confectionery club?”
“…A new confectionery club?”
It feels like my mind, which has been clear at best, is clouding again. What the heck is that
But Tanian didn’t care about my reaction and continued with a deeper smile.
“Isn’t it strange that people who don’t know about confectionery join the confectionery club? So, it’s a small club that was created to encourage people to practice before joining.”
No, weren’t we the same for joining the confectionery club without knowing about it?
“You won’t be able to create duplicate clubs…?”
Still, I brought up the fundamental question first. As long as there is already a confectionery club, the new confectionery club is—
“Ah, officially, it is a club that compares the Old and New Testaments and discusses the times.”
“A debate club?”
“Yeah, just making a quick dessert between discussions.”
At that, I just nodded my head.
‘It’s impossible to block it, so just push it somewhere else.’
…In an unexpected way.
