How to Survive at the Academy chapter 133

3 gold coins (1)

“You seem to be a bit depressed these days.”

The Obell Hall is entirely for the student council.

In an optimal location right next to the student plaza, the exterior of the building itself is neat and stylish, and there are several facilities that student members can use inside. It is large and in good condition for a small number of people using it.

As the student council is supported by many distinguished guests and influential children, there is a lot of consideration at the academic level.

The internal staff of the student council is good for networking, receiving generous bachelor’s grades, and successfully completing tasks until the end of their term of office, earning a lot of trust.

Usually, even after graduation, there are many cases of going to important positions in the empire, so support from various influential people is already coming in.

As a result, the size of the student council budget within the university, various private donations, and the student council fee paid by the sons of influential families is quite brutal. At the student level, I wondered if I could manage a budget of this size.

Of course, one advisor was appointed to provide minimal assistance, but it was not at a level that directly affected the decision-making of the student council.

“Are you my brother… ? Are you crying?”

“I went to camp once before, but he said he was fine… I just felt awkward. It’s just my gut feeling.”

Ziggs Eiffelstein, a sophomore deputy head of the Ministry of Magic, was already considered an ace among the student council action members.

Rather than having a great sense of belonging to the student council, I feel like I am just dealing with work at the same time.

This is because Ziggs has a strong sense of freedom rather than a person who will belong to one place.

In fact, Ziggs was working with the feeling that he was just doing Tanya’s personal request rather than being directed by the student council president. It didn’t even show up well in the Obelisk.

Tanya didn’t even ask for an attitude. Just having Ziggs in the student council is a great asset.

“To be depressed, to be specific, how is it… ?”

The current student council president of the Sylvania Academy, Tanya Rothtailer, put down her quills.

The desk in the student council president’s personal office was really spacious, but there were so many documents piled up that the space was disrespectful.

There are a lot of things that need to be paid in one day. The morning flies just by coming to the Obell Hall every morning and carefully reviewing the report documents for the day.

I knew it was a busy place, but Tanya didn’t expect it to be like this.

However, since she has a personality of her own, Tanya was spending her time every day trying to get things done as thoroughly as possible.

“Hmm… Just by looking at it, it looks normal. As always, you are busy. While living in camp, do necessary activities, work as a bachelor’s scholarship student, study regularly while attending classes… By the way… Hmm… Still, I feel like Ed is carrying a burden on his heart.”

“If Jiggs-senpai reported that, there must be a reason. It bothers me that it’s not clear, but… Hmm… It’s just intuition… .”

Tanya groaned and stretched, then buried her tiny body in the soft chair.

From Tanya’s point of view, the impression that comes to mind when it comes to Ed Rothtailer is quite different.

With a feeling of silence, it is a reliable impression that somehow solves any problems that come up.

It was hard to imagine how he was feeling sad or depressed, so Tanya was curious about it.

“It’s been a while since I said hello to my brother, so let’s meet in person and say hello… .”

“You have to go to the church restoration site in the afternoon and go to the Trix Hall to report on the regular work of the student council. After dinner, you have to go out to receive a report on the status of the student club at the L’Orail Hall, and you have to do personal study at night.”

“… Why do you know so well?”

“I listen to the chief secretary lament every day… .”

The reason Ziggs takes over the news of Tanya to Ed is that Tanya herself can’t find the time. That’s how far they live.

“It would be less frustrating if I could know the reason for being so depressed. Can’t Jiggs-senpai get to know you properly? This time, I have a little budget for the cost of dispatching, and if I have to miss class while I am working, I can also request for a vacancy.”

“Student President. When I start receiving support from the student council rather than moving personally, there is room for private management of funds, and it may appear that the student council is inspecting individual students.”

“Why are there so many restrictions on this guy’s position as president…? .”

“Isn’t that what the original weight of power is all about?”

Tanya let out a deep sigh and looked at the large window that filled the entire wall on one side of the office.

The student plaza can be seen at a glance from the student council president’s office on the 4th floor of the Obel building. As lunch time approaches, the busily moving procession of students looks like a swarm of ants.

They represent each and every doctor. It’s never a light spot.

In fact, no matter what you do, there is nothing in the world that is not burdensome.

The problem is that Ed Roth-Taylor is not a human being who is depressed or shaken with some burden.

Literally, as long as you don’t have your life on your back… .

“I’m worried… Brother.”

“I am also concerned. Actually, I have a slightly different focus, but… .”

“yes?”

Ziggs sat roughly on the hospitality sofa in the corner of the office.

“Actually, Ed sunbaenim, what a burden or a depressed feeling, you aren’t the type of person who will collapse greatly if you feel a little of that. Time will take care of it, but the problem is the relationships around Ed-senpai… ”

“Human relations… ?”

“this… In a way, it’s an opportunity… . By the way, the president is also well aware of the situation around Ed-senpai.”

Tanya’s expression hardened the moment she was burying herself in the chair.

Slowly, Tanya knew everything she knew. It may be enviable to some people anyway, but it is a very painful situation for me.

Considering Ed’s situation, who is strangely being courted by many talented women, his seemingly perfect appearance in everything looks like a huge gap.

If Ed Roth-Taylor is the kind of prop that he can depend on and lean on, imagine him leaning on him instead.

That strange feeling of satisfaction that climbs on the chest… In any case, it is an unavoidable temptation for those who see him as the opposite sex.

He doesn’t usually show his shaking figure, so how many more opportunities will there be?

“Actually, there are times when everyone is a little depressed and depressed. There are people who recover after being comforted to the fullest, but in my view, it is best for Ed sunbae to just leave it alone.”

“It’s a difficult problem… .”

“Well, it might just be off topic if you try to come up with more than this… I’m going to keep quiet.”

Ziggs coolly washed his hands and got up from the hospitality sofa, washing his clothes.

“Actually, I didn’t come here to report this. These are just words that I humbly conveyed.”

“yes… ?”

“These days, I was a bit suspicious, so I went around looking for things, but I think I caught one. Isn’t it summer vacation soon? After the end-of-semester exams are over next week, the vacation will start right away.”

“Yes, it is.”

Ziggs took a book out of his pocket and threw it on the reception desk in front of him.

It was hard to see from Tanya’s point of view, sitting at her office desk, but when I looked closely at it with a narrowed eyebrow, it was ＜Introduction to Elements>.

As the most basic elementary science book used by the 2nd to 3rd graders, it was quite thick, but it was a book that was treated as a standard seller because it was filled with the basic contents.

“There have been quite a few people on Aken Island over the past few years, so it looks like they are slowly showing their fangs. This case is probably the beginning of that work.”

“Exposing your fangs… Perhaps… ”

Ziggs nodded.

Organized collection of elementary science books is taking place centering on Elte Trading Co., Ltd.

In particular, this Introduction to Elements is the least in demand when exams are over and vacation starts. As third-year students who no longer need this book sell it out, the prices of used books and new books temporarily hit the lower limit.

The thing that has been swept away and piled up in the store’s warehouse is… The intention is clear to anyone who sees it.

Buy when it’s cheap and sell when it’s expensive. It is the basis of all investment activities, but the story is different if you are in the position of Dinosaur Trading Co.

As the kiosk is a traditional means, the results are certain. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s just that I haven’t. In order to increase his size and dominate the influence within the student life wing.

“Well, considering the size of the company, it wouldn’t be such a huge profit… It’s kind of a prelude.”

“Yes. Right now, there is only one book on elemental science, but in the future, it may be possible to expand the scope to various clothing, tech supplies, and school supplies… .”

Lortel Keheln, acting as the deputy chairman of the Elte Company.

Tanya had seen the girl’s face over and over again. However, the most intense memory was of him looking down at the other side of the hallway of the Ophelis Hall, where no one was left.

I still can’t breathe properly when I think of how he was sitting with Ed’s death on his back and waiting for Tanya like a cold corpse.

Not only that, he’s also flawless in his abilities. Money is money, and he has excellent magic skills, and his ability to improvise in a crisis situation has already been widely recognized.

Now, as the student council president, I was in a position where I had to keep her in check.

＜ Advanced Crafting Skill Slot: Empty >

It’s been a while since I got an advanced crafting skill slot from among the life skills, but it’s still empty.

Right now, it was because he was not in the mood to learn the skills to help him in battle. However, life skills cannot be ignored.

First of all, it not only has a big impact on the talent stat among the basic stats, but of course, if you can make good equipment, it will have a big impact on the battle as well.

＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> is a game that deals with the story that takes place on Aken Island, so the means to procure combat equipment are really limited.

If it’s a game that explores several cities, it’s all about the shops available in this game.

From noblemtl.com

Most of the products are for students, and it is difficult to expect more than a certain level if you say that you occasionally find a shop that deals with combat equipment.

After all, in ＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania>, if you want to procure high-end combat equipment, clearing special quests or making your own is the most efficient.

I was able to procure some tech equipment from Professor Glast’s soul library, but for direct combat and adventure equipment, it would be better if I made it myself. It can be procured through Elte Trading Co., but it is too burdensome to pay the price individually.

In addition, if you train well in life skills, the living environment in the camp will be much improved, so it is a one stone two pair.

Once I decided to fill one of the advanced crafting slots with ‘Advanced Bow Crafting’.

Not only to give the spirits to the arrow, but to enchant the bow itself with various magic, and to make bows that increase the accuracy and power in certain situations.

So what do you put in the other slot? that… I needed to think about it a bit more.

It was when I sat near the bonfire and quietly thought about it.

A man came out of the grass. He was wearing a gilded robe that looked quite expensive.

“This… I should have known, but seeing it in person feels strange again.”

It had been a while since Lortel had visited the camp.

Anyway, it’s the student council president election and the closing date of the upper body.

“I’m really going to build a hut and sit on it… .”

“Oh, what’s going on? Lortel.”

I was sitting by the fire, thinking about the skills of the living world, and Yenika, who was sitting next to me, was basking in the light with blank eyes.

Lortel swept his face down once, then came to sit by the fire and swung down his robe hat.

The reddish-brown hair that symbolizes her runs down her shoulders. Usually, it is neatly braided to one side, but today, for some reason, it looked neatly untied.

A blue rose-shaped pin, which is said to be worn when going to an important event, is beautifully attached to one side, and the clothes worn under the robe were neat and pure white frills dresses in their own way.

“It’s been a while since I’ve come to see Ed sunbaenim’s face… Even though I was mentally prepared, this scene was a bit… .”

“… What is this voice… Is it Lortel? ?”

“It’s been a while, Jenika-senpai.”

Yenika, who was sitting quietly basking in the fire, trembled. It looks like something is coming.

“okay. It’s Lortel… .”

“Explain how this happened… There is no need for it.”

Lortel took a deep breath and glanced at Yenica.

Yenica’s eyesight has returned quite a bit, and now she can vaguely feel the gaze of others. At first, the sight of Lortel turning her head and looking at her was quite intimidating, even in the blurry vision.

However, Yenika straightened her waist with a body that did not move well, and smiled proudly.

“Ed and I decided to live together.”

“… … .”

“We live together now!”

I’m a bit shy when I say it with my own mouth too… Ehehe, he said, blurring his words.

“I think living next door is a more appropriate expression than living together.”

“We live in the same camp. Maybe we live together? Lortel is very expressive… !”

Lortel’s head feels like a crucifix sticking out of it.

Even though he seemed angry, the first thought came to me that he wasn’t. In the first place, Lortel is not easily angry.

Isn’t she an unrivaled girl in her ability to always maintain her composure?

“Actually, I came here today to say hello to Ed-senpai, but there’s a reason I came here to give you some important information.”

“Important information? What is it?”

“Sir Ed. I don’t know what the situation in my wallet is right now, but I recommend that you prepare books and tech supplies for the next semester in advance.”

Is it information about price fluctuations?

It is not unusual for Lortel, who is on the upper side, to give information about the market price in advance.

However, it seems that it is not so simple to think about it.

“Well, if you buy it in advance, you might be able to buy it cheaper. The price always rises as you get closer to the time you need it.”

“It is, but… . It’s not about being more expensive or cheaper.”

Lortel smiled and added.

“Probably, we won’t even be able to find it at all by the end of the vacation.”

“… … .”

I only realized after hearing that.

＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> A nervous battle between the bachelor and the company that continues throughout the third act.

Aside from the main story, whose side you take between the bachelors and the bosses, who are constantly at odds with each other, has a big impact on the ending.

Lortel’s move this time is an extension of that nerve war.

“Yenica-senpai, it would be good to have it ready in advance when you heard the news~ I was lucky~ I was right next to you at this time, so I heard good information~”

“Yeah, thank you~ And, to put it bluntly, I live with Ed, so I’m always by your side, so I don’t have to say I’m lucky!”

– Quick.

At the sound of twisting blood vessels again, I secretly looked at Lortel’s expression. The smiling face is still the same.

“I can’t even see properly, but my mouth is still alive… . Oh, it’s about our company’s pet dog. I’ve been hurt a lot lately.”

“yes. I see I need a lot of help. I’m fine because Ed is always by my side to help… !”

not a single word That innocent Yenica Palerover… .

Although she is a girl who is infinitely weak to the malice of others, she has a strangely venomous look towards Lortel.

Even so, a lortell is a lortell.

There is no easy way to lose your temper or get angry.

“… I’m hot.”

?”It’s really nice here. The air is fresh, the water is rippling, and I think I can see why Lucy takes a nap here.”

As if something had broken the line of patience, Lortel’s tone suddenly subsided.

Then, trudging to the front of Yenica, they talk as if to listen.

“By the way, this must not be private land… Well, the entire Aken Island isn’t even a college campus… . The land rights here will be managed by the Empire. Yes, it’s just a forest on one side of the island in the southwest corner, but… ”

what is the meaning of the word Lortel smiled and continued talking.

“It is difficult for me to figure out what to do with the land rights themselves, since they are so picky… Well, a building permit would be fine.”

“What… ?”

Yenika looked at Lortel with her complexion dyed blue. On the other side of the distant field of view, I could see Lortel’s smiling face… trembled in surprise.

“Oh my goodness.”

In the meantime, Lortel smiled at the empty lot near the river on the other side of the camp.

And then speak as if sentenced.

“Here, the grounds are very nice.”

It felt like an ominous energy was seeping through the camp.
