How to Survive at the Academy chapter 12

stray cat (1)

As you know, games are usually played from the protagonist’s point of view, so there aren’t many things that I can do, since I’ve already fallen and left.

The good news is that I’ve already done it several times from the protagonist’s point of view. If you think carefully about the timing and the academy schedule, you can roughly guess what kind of event is going on.

So, there is no need to be frustrated because you don’t know what the academy is now or how things are going. At least that’s a comforting fact.

Rather, it made me wonder if there were quite a few things I didn’t know about because it was only progressing from Taylor’s point of view.

For example, how the curriculum of the Ministry of Magic is conducted.

The main character, Taylor, is a member of the combat team, befitting the title of ‘failing swordsman’. Therefore, it is impossible to know what kind of life the students belonging to the Ministry of Magic are leading.

Also, what happens outside of Taylor’s circle of activity.

New buildings and statues being built under the auspices of ‘Golden Daughter Lortel’, and a small number of royal guards stationed at the entrance of Ghakdong-dong to escort ‘Princess Fenia, the Princess of Love’.

Well… Even though we were away from the main stage, the images of the world that were clearly spinning seemed rather fresh.

In fact, while playing Sylvania’s Failed Sword Castle, there were quite a few cases where I was curious about the story behind it that was not directly revealed.

If I had to pick one by one, there were countless, but if I had to pick one, it was Yenica Palerover after all.

As the final boss of Act 1, the story of her being taken over by the high-ranking dark spirit Robesper is not given much importance.

That’s right, she’s the final boss of Act 1, the real boss of Act 1 is actually the right arm of Glaskan, the highest dark spirit she summons.

However, the high-ranking dark spirits come down through the dark or pessimistic thoughts in the spirit’s mind.

Well, no matter how big or small, there is darkness in everyone’s heart, so it may not be too strange to think of it as… Yenica Palerover is not a human being who is completely separated from such darkness.

I know. Her brightness is innate, and her youthfulness is innate.

What could have caused Yenica Palerover to fall into the power of a high-ranking dark spirit?

…Of course I don’t have time to worry about that.

Whatever the case, Glaskan’s right arm, which occupied the Student Union, will be taken care of by Taylor.

“I’m too tight…?”

Ten days have passed since school started.

“You’re not going to die like this, are you really…?”

At sunset, while sitting on a wooden bench in the faculty building and resting, Sage Time suddenly came up without warning.

My daily routine after school starts is as follows.

Before sunrise, get up first and wash your body in the stream. Clean every nook and cranny to avoid odors.

Gubo from the northern forest to Ghao-dong, wearing everyday clothes that are laundered every day.

By the time they arrive, they are drenched in sweat, so they secretly wash themselves one more time in the bathroom of the Glock’s faculty building. Then, she changes into the school uniform she brought, and hides her casual clothes among the grass in the rose garden in Gwakwon-dong to take with her after school.

Head straight to the classroom where classes are held. From here, you will start meeting all kinds of children from noble families and excellent students, so you have to be careful about your behavior.

Of course, my evaluation within the academy is crawling, so I have to deal with all kinds of gossips flying into my ears whenever I see my face.

The fortress even felt empty if it did not hear such gossips. I got used to being treated as an invisible person in various classes.

If you focus on class like that, it’s lunch time.

They eat lunch boxes because they can’t use the expensive and luxurious canteen of the Ophelis Hall or the canteen of the student union hall. When it comes to lunch boxes, they are wild meals brought from camp.

Fortress makes good use of jerky made with rock salt. After drying the salted meat for about three days on the simple drying rack I had made to dry the laundry, it turned out to be quite good jerky.

As it is portable and satisfies hunger well, there is no other convenience food like this. As an added bonus, he also sweetened his cooking skills.

Well, if I just satiate my hunger and finish the afternoon lecture as an invisible person again, it’s after school.

He takes his casual clothes that he had hidden among the grasses of the rose garden and sets out for the northern forest again. It departs at sunset and arrives at dusk.

I decided to do the canter as much as possible when I returned home to train my physical stats, but after the training class that directly uses magical powers started, I lost a lot of energy, so I decided to just walk slowly.

After returning to camp, first wash your sweat-soaked casual clothes. You have to dry it in advance so you can wear it again tomorrow.

Also, check the uniforms that must be kept neat and dignified at all times. It is inspected for dirt or cracks, and if such a part is found, it is repaired using a thread taken from another fabric.

After a quick clothing check, it’s time to do the day’s work. What to do at this time is different then and then.

If the collected herbs or medicinal herbs are off, it is sometimes collected and the condition of the trimmed wood is checked.

When they dig a crypt and the stored meat runs out, they sometimes go hunting with a bow. Actually, it is more convenient to hunt with a harpoon or improvised spear, but if you think about the future, you had to fill the proficiency of the bow, so you were forced to hunt with a bow.

Well, if the hunting performance on that day was too poor, I hunted in a different way. Once you eat, you have to live.

After the sun has completely gone down, start a bonfire to secure a light source. It was time to do the homework.

On a workbench improvised using a wide slab, check the day’s practice assignments. My strengths were in fields where writing was important, such as magical history or elemental science. Fortunately, his head was still spinning.

It’s been a long time since I’ve held a pen stand, but I also had a time when I was a student. The blood of bone marrow examinees who passed the gate of the university entrance exam during the stormy and turbulent times still remains.

Long live the Korean private education craze…!

The writing is memorized by scribbling on a slate using a small poker covered in ashes, and the books are borrowed from the student library in the faculty building. I can’t afford to use quills, ink, or personal books.

And when the moon rises in the middle of the sky, I practice magic alone.

First of all, the goal is to reach 10 proficiency in basic elemental magic. The Ministry of Magic’s 2nd year curriculum had already assumed intermediate magic, but there is no answer because it is lost in basic magic.

Still, it’s good to practice magic as soon as possible, so I trimmed the trees using a wind blade and adjusted the embers of a bonfire using fire-based magic.

After that, you will fall asleep slowly. But it’s not yet time to sleep. I also had a lot of work left before I went to bed.

Review the wooden shelter for any defects, replenish firewood to keep the bonfire well-maintained all night, and review the number of jerky for tomorrow’s lunch. If the drinking water tank was empty, the drinking water had to float.

Then, after remembering the timetable for tomorrow, arranging ideas on how to spend the day, fill the shelter with smoke from a bonfire to prevent flying insects from being entangled as much as possible, then ventilate it and go to bed. Then you can sleep well for about 4 hours.

Well, the good news is that no matter how tired you are, you don’t overslept. Thanks to this, I was able to adapt quickly even when I was in the military.

I lived like this for about ten days.

From noblemtl.com

My whole body was already screaming with muscle pain.

Sitting on a wooden bench looking at the reddish sky, the current situation is also a small deviation. Back at camp, there is a lot of work to do.

“Should we move the camp to a nearby location at the very least…”

Thinking about it, he shook his head again. There was nothing good about finding a place to live in the living area of other students. Besides, this long distance is also helpful for physical training… Let’s not get weak.

“Uh-huh, huh.”

I barely got up and started walking again. Anyway, what would you do with a body like this?

Such suffering must be accepted.

Sunny days will definitely come.

Still, there is something fortunate.

As I walked through the northern forest, I thought of that.

First of all, as a result of how and how I have maintained this kind of life for about ten days… I have become somewhat confident about sustainability.

It’s really f**king hard and tiring, but I can somehow maintain it. Because my life as a sophomore in the Ministry of Magic was more peaceful and calm than I had imagined.

Everywhere I go, they look at me with contempt and gossip. What can I do, I didn’t do it, but there’s just too many unfavorable stacks from Ed Roth-Taylor in the first place.

Still, it will be much better than the situation of first-year students. Because that’s the place where accidents happen whenever there’s a chance, and there’s a lot of chaos, and it’s a great adventure play.

If it’s the beginning of the first semester, maybe… ‘Vegetable Spear Ziggs’ blows up the lab, or ‘lazy Lucy’ electrocuts the dean’s cat with thunderbolt magic… All sorts of events are already happening.

Students from the Department of Combat, the Department of Magic, and the Alchemy Department gathered together and had their first practical class against the monsters. It’s time for the main character, Taylor, and the main characters, to get acquainted.

However, behind the stage, which has taken a step back, surprisingly calm and regular daily life continues. Yeah… it’s not that bad when you think about it this way.

If you keep repeating the hard and difficult life pattern right now, there will definitely come a point where you get used to it.

All I need to do is keep one step away from the main characters and continue my life. Then, when I got my diploma and the school crisis came, bye-bye.

Well, that doesn’t mean that the school will go bankrupt, and it’s an ordeal that will be resolved on your own, so there’s no reason for me to solve it while I’m struggling.

Thinking about it that way, I think I got the first button right anyway. Yes, there is no reason to be frustrated.

However, the variable is also Yenika Failover.

– ‘hi!’

– ‘What are you eating?! Dried meat?’

– ‘good morning!’

– ‘What about the next class? Elementalism?’

– ‘Would you like to eat at the student cafeteria together?’

For the past ten days, the appearance of Yenica, who greets them with a lively look when they run into each other while walking around the faculty building, has not changed.

Of course, the appearance of two of her best friends, grabbing their arms and disappearing unnaturally is also repeated.

“Hmm…”

This is unplanned. There’s no reason why she cares so much about me. There was obviously something wrong, or there was something I wasn’t aware of.

“…well, it’ll be fine.”

In the forest at sunset, beyond among the branches, I could see a camp that was now as comfortable as my own home. It was a long way home.

As my sister and sister say, I am a foreign entity in this world that will flow according to the law.

Even if it becomes a variable that will overturn the flow of the world that flows according to the truth, the advantage of knowing the future will be thrown away with my own hands.

Therefore, it is right to maintain a reasonable distance from important people in this world. Well… trying to be friendly may have to go through an awkward and difficult process, but it’s easy to keep a distance.

can do!

I don’t know why, but the sage thyme that hit the corner of my chest has also faded to some extent. And the hope that I could do it again took its place.

things will work out!

It’s about maintaining a reasonable sense of distance. It’s ok, you can do it!

With a heart full of hope, I set out to camp to live my life hard today.

“Zzz- Zzz-.”

It was then that I found a girl curled up and sleeping in my shelter.

The brim of the witch’s hat covering her neck was so wide that it had the force to cover the entire girl’s face, and the sound of her breathing as if everything in the world was bothering her made it possible to ascertain her identity as soon as she heard it.

I sat down on the rocky chair and wiped my face with one hand.

“Whoa…”

It was a sigh that came from deep in my heart.

“Why is he… sleeping here???”

It was the beginning, but I couldn’t know.

This girl plays an active role from the beginning to the end of the scenario of ‘Sylvania’s Failing Swordsman’, and… in terms of weight, she has a heavy presence that is close to the four major heroines.

It is difficult to judge by appearance alone. This girl, who seems to be infinitely indolent, is the overwhelming number of people of interest.

Why the hell is he sleeping here like this?

“…”

I looked up for a moment and looked at my camp.

The forest north of Aken Island. A deep place where no one visits. However, it is not too deep for this genius girl who can do the magic walk that is fast enough to say that it is too far away from the axis.

In the first place, this girl’s behavior is the same as that of stray cats.

Thanks to her small stature and her talent for bouncing magically, she can go to the top of the clock tower or the rooftop of the Glockt Hall, wherever it is good to take a nap with a good neck and good sunlight.

so where is this

There are no people, it is far from the class building, and thankfully, there is a shelter with a roof in a good place where you can hear the cool breeze and the pleasant sound of a stream.

There is no other place like this to take a nap in class and take a nap.

“……It was self-sufficient!”

Oops…!

It was a monologue that had no meaning, the ones who had cried at that time.

Hearing the sleep talk of ‘lazy Lucy’, who gently exhales as if in a whisper, I had no choice but to sit still for a while, covering my eyes with one hand.
