How to Survive at the Academy chapter 196

I thought I was like this (4)

From noblemtl.com

Magical skills alone cannot survive in this harsh world.

The first day I succeeded in mastering high-level magic. This is the thought that Tracyana, who returned to the dormitory, looked at the moon alone.

High-level explosion magic ‘Destruction’.

The huge explosion, which was realized by hitting all the magical energy that had been concentrated for several days, destroyed all the barriers that the professors had implemented in several layers for safety.

Thanks to that achievement, Tracyana, who rose to the position of chief of the Ministry of Magic, was praised by all her classmates after that.

“…”

However, in the field of magic, there is a genius Lucy Meryl who has been given by heaven.

As long as you are living with her at the same time, becoming the best in the field of magic is absolutely impossible.

I had no desire to be the best.

After all, the geniuses who are at the forefront of the times are people of different races. During her four years in Sylvania, Tracyana felt that wall more clearly than anyone else.

It’s not just Traceiana’s story.

The current Sylvania 4th grade senior trio.

Combat Team Chief Dyke Elpelan.

Ministry of Magic Chief Traceiana Bloomriver.

Dorothy Whitepelz, Chief Pensions Department.

The impression of the 4th graders of the Sylvania Academy represented by these three people is… a gathering of ‘beomjaes’.

It is completely different from the current 1st and 2nd graders, who are called the ‘Golden Generation’, and the 3rd graders who have produced talented people like Yenica Palerover, Ed Roth Taylor, Drake, and Atalanta.

Those who work harder than anyone else.

Traceyana cannot deny the ironic evaluation that contains both a compliment and a curse.

Therefore, he does not try to define his worth solely by his magic skills.

He has risen to the position of the head of the Ministry of Magic, which is difficult for anyone to climb, but he never thinks that that position is his everything.

It may be a dream job for some, but for Tracyana, it is nothing more than a process to go through.

It is now the second semester of 4th grade. It’s time to look forward to graduation.

Graduation is a new beginning. You cannot progress further if you are satisfied with the position of the head of the bachelor’s degree forever.

life after graduation.

Now that it’s time to catch the eye, Tracyana isn’t always in a hurry.

“…”

In the quiet environment of the Ophelis Hall’s private room, Tracyana closed her elemental books.

Quiet and peaceful sight. Afternoon school schedule is over, and everyone is stretched out in the relaxed atmosphere of the evening.

The leisurely view of the early evening from the window will no longer be visible after half a year.

As a student, his bachelor’s life has come to an end, and the time has come when he must return to the Bloom River family and focus his efforts at the forefront of magic research. You will probably have to live hard.

Tracyana skimmed through the letters in her drawer, the letter sent by the Californian chief Sinir Bloomriver. Following her close contacts throughout her undergraduate life, she still dreams of becoming the next leader of the Bloom River family.

A tomboy, troublemaker, troublemaker.

The Bloom River family has always been treated like a heretic because it is full of such people. At least it was only around the Enniston family that it was enough to rub against the troublesome temperament of the Bloom River family.

In an environment full of such incidents, with a serious and calm temperament, Tracyana was always treated as a stranger.

Still, he wasn’t alone.

The first born there, the rational and realistic type of headman… Sinir Bloom River.

Thanks to her, the Bloom River family is not losing its reputation as a prestigious family.

And it was Traceiana Bloom River who was most deeply influenced by Sinir.

“Tanya Roth-Taylor and Ed Roth-Taylor…”

Along with the recent imperial power, the power structure among the aristocratic families also shows signs of remarkably changing.

Sinir Bloomriver, the head of state whom she admires, seems to have been betting on the Roth Taylor family in this reorganization of power.

– ‘Tanya Roth-Taylor has an interesting plan. I’m going to stick with it.’

At the beginning of the semester, student council president Tanya Rothtailer returned to Sylvania.

Her actions are now in the interest of many. At first glance, he seemed like a sharp and ambitious person… But lately, he seems to be noticeably tired, grumbling or sighing deeply.

It looks like something poisoned, but in Tracyana’s eyes, Tanya’s inner side is still intact.

– ‘Perhaps the powerful families of the empire might split in half and fight. When that time comes, it will be difficult if you don’t stick to the winning side. So, Tracy. When nothing has happened yet, be sure to stick with Roth Taylor.’

Sinir’s advice always gets to the point.

As if reading the mind of Tracyana, who is planning her life after graduation.

– ‘After everything is over, you have to pretend to be an ally late in order to not break down the wall of your heart. If you really want to keep in touch with them, when they are at their weakest and humblest… Only then can you maintain a long-term relationship with them.’

What did Sinir Bloomriver see in the people of the Roth Taylor family?

I don’t know now, but I have no intention of doubting her eyes.

In fact, Tracyana also got acquainted with Ed Roth-Taylor and did a pretty good job at his request.

It felt like they got along because of the accident Patriciana hit, but anyway, the good news is that there is a connection between the Roth Taylors.

“…”

Tracyana put down Sinir’s letter and looked out the window as the sun was setting.

After attending Sylvania, she has changed infinitely realistically, and her eyes are still calm.

“You cannot survive in this harsh world with only your magical skills.”

I dared to spit out those words that I had repeated over and over again and ponder them over and over again.

Senior Tracyana, whom all 4th grade Magicians look up to. Even she, while attending Sylvania, felt the wall of real talent.

Because of that, I have become a bit pessimistic and realistic… But that doesn’t mean I’m not the type to be frustrated.

“Behavior, understanding the mood, and… networking.”

I don’t know how the imperial aristocratic power will work, but in the end, the key is who will stand at the top of it in the end.

You have to be smart and bet on them, in order to survive in the rapidly changing world of nobles.

If Sinir Bloomriver bets on Roth Taylor, Traceiana will only work on her own accord.

He and Tanya Roth-Taylor, the student council president, have a very different grade level, so it’s hard to get close to them because there’s no point of contact… Ed Roth-Taylor is completely different.

The school year is close, I got to know each other, and even Tracyana has the advantage of being a senior in the Ministry of Magic.

When he is still weak, it is better to help him as much as possible or to accumulate debt. This kind of movement must be what Shinir wants.

The key is to continue a friendly relationship with Ed Roth-Taylor.

That is an investment for the future.

It was the moment when he nodded his head while keeping that policy in mind.

– Bang!!

“sister…!”

The tomboy sister Patriciana came in after smashing Tracyana’s door.

Tracyana frowned and turned to the door.

Patriciana, who had a lot of leaves on her hair, said cheerfully whether she had just come from walking through the forest.

“success! Success! Clinical trial…! Did I say I can?!”

“….What?”

“It definitely worked! Awesome!”

The ominous feeling that I had felt before has indeed become a reality.

“It seems that the effect is greater than I thought! I secretly fed it… the clinical response is definitely…”

“Are you really crazy, Petrin?! Did you really write that to a person?!”

“Ah, no… just a small amount… just to see if it works…”

“Did you get my permission?!”

Once Tracyana had shoved the books and letters into the drawer, she asked Patriciana as if she were witty.

Then Patriciana said, avoiding her eyes.

“Well, what… it’s not even a poison…”

“…”

“And, what is it… I don’t mean to do anything bad… The… Evangelist of love…? Cupid…? I feel like that…”

“…”

silence.

Sister Tracyana, who is quietly looking at her.

Patriciana felt the atmosphere was unusual, and soon began to sweat.

“Oh, no… that… As a result,… it might not be that bad? Sister, after slowly observing the situation…”

“When you do something, I told you not to do it on a whim, but to do it while thinking about it! So who?! Who did you feed them?!”

“…”

“You don’t need to know who you are, so you don’t have to make an apprenticeship or apologize… Who did you feed it to?!”

“Uh… uh… uh…”

Tracyana once again felt some kind of anxiety.

Patriciana has always had a knack for making major accidents in the worst direction. It was always Tracyana’s job to take over.

While fiddling with her fingers, she continued to answer with difficulty while avoiding her gaze.

“Ed Roth Taylor.”

I could feel the blood draining from my face.

Indeed, I knew for sure what the word zinc blindness meant.

Traceyana’s eyes widened, she swallowed her breath and closed her eyes tightly.

“I knew it! I can’t live!”

*Lortel was standing in front of the bucket with the world’s absurd eyes.

A day in which I was busy all day with my academic calendar and overtime work.

Still, the thought of going back to the villa after finishing the day’s work made me hum.

Unlike living in the Ophelis Hall, returning home is fun.

A home is a place to sleep. For Lortel, who had lived only with such a way of thinking, the experience of returning home was so fresh that it was surprising to herself.

As soon as he returned to camp, the first sight Lortel saw was Ed and Jenica sitting side by side in a large bucket of drinking water.

“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”

“Ugh… uh…”

“…”

There are three characters.

First up is Ed Roth Taylor.

Unable to overcome the unknown heat, he covered his face with one hand and moaned.

The other hand is clasping Yenika’s shoulder and giving her a tight grip, as if to keep her by her side without going anywhere.

The second is Yenica Palerover.

With his cheeks blushing like a blush, he looks like he’s sitting next to Ed, like a bird, and can’t even do this.

It seems like he was trying to do something, but he couldn’t overcome Ed’s force, so he just left himself alone.

The third is Lortel Keheln.

looking at them both More than.

“…What are you doing…?”

I was embarrassed by the sudden touch, but first asked for an explanation of the situation.

Above all, Ed’s condition seems strange. It seems difficult for some reason, but the first thing I worry about is that something is wrong with my health.

That’s why Lortel asked Yenika, who looked fine.

“Yes?! yes?! When did you come?!”

“Just now.”

“Are you here quickly?! Why did you come so soon?!”

“The moon is in the middle of the sky. It’s already late at night.”

“Oh, right?! Why are you here so late?!”

Whether normal thinking was already impossible, Yenica raised her voice higher than necessary and asked meaningless questions.

“It’s cold! No, it’s not the cold season! It’s hot! is not it! It’s early fall now! Summer is still summer! Is it cold?! Is it hot?! Lortel, is it cold now? hot?”

“…”

Yenica Palerover… is broken…

Yenika’s pupils spinning round and round as if confused.

It was not a very pleasant sight for Lortel.

“Did you take the reagent?!”

The budget papers I brought with me to review before going to bed. Holding them tightly to his chest, Lortel sat by the bonfire.

As a result of one uproar, there was an urgent meeting between Lortel and Yenica, with Ed sitting next to him, still holding his face and grunting.

After drinking the freshly brewed cold water several times and being blown away by the cool breeze for a while, Yenika came to her senses… She told Lortel the whole situation by the fiery bonfire.

“Oh, no, it’s ridiculous… Were you sitting next to the bucket in a good way in such a situation? First of all, shouldn’t you think about putting Ed-senpai in bed and letting him rest?”

“I, I thought so too! I was thinking!”

“I just saw them sitting next to each other for a long time with a slender expression on their shoulders, did you say that?!”

Lortel looked at Yenica with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Right now, Ed sunbaenim’s physical condition is going to and fro, so you’re saying that you were filling your own mind?!”

“Hey, if you say that, I think I’m a very strange person…!”

“That’s not wrong!”

“Uh, uh…!”

For sure, I can’t refute it.

There was a big aspect that she couldn’t resist because of Ed Roth Taylor’s momentum, but… So, if Yenika herself said that she was in a bad mood, it wasn’t like that either.

Due to her character’s inability to lie, she couldn’t accept a single word from Lortel’s interrogation.

Yenika wiped her tears and shut her mouth.

“Don’t raise your voice too much… My head… It hurts a little…”

Ed was moaning, pressing his temples together. Lortel looked at Ed like that, and sighed deeply as if worried.

“Go in and rest. I’ll call the upper management and tell them to bring some painkillers.”

“No, that’s okay… I’m going to go to Sanghoe again at this late hour.”

Although it looked like a rather troubled face, Ed refused Lortel’s favor with difficulty.

“You don’t have to run around until late at night like this. You can somehow overcome the drug energy right now… Just, Lortel, you too, get some rest… Que…”

“Oh no, Ed-senpai. still…”

“You’ve been busy all day with your bachelor’s work, too. I’m still living a crazy life, so there’s no need to try to help me with every move. I’ve already received too much from you, so I don’t feel like getting more. Rather, I would have paid it back.”

“Yes, yes…?”

Ed hugs my face and presses it hard while talking.

At Ed’s words, Lortel took a deep breath.

“I know that you are always struggling, but how can I ask you to suffer more?”

“Oh no, not like that…”

“I’m always grateful, so don’t worry too much about me… You too, get some rest. If you push yourself too hard, I’ll be too hard on myself.”

“…”

Lortel was trying to answer something, but then she was speechless and turned her head.

And he talked while looking at Yenica with a heated expression on his face.

“Hey, what is this…?!”

“…”

“Hey, this might be a bit dangerous…?”

Ed’s inner self was somewhat discerned, but giving it out of his mouth like this was definitely different in destructive power.

In the first place, Lortel is surprisingly not immune to direct attacks.

As if in a drunken state, he couldn’t get used to Ed’s way of treating him infinitely softly. Even the idiomatic expression of so-called “sweet” is not enough.

The gap that comes from the act of a blunt person revealing the truth. It is not easy for even a Lortel to bear that destructive power.

From Ed’s point of view, he just can’t afford to go round and round. However, for Lortel and Yenika, the meaning of approaching them was completely different.

It’s harder than it feels good!

Favor… was it so heavy…!

“…”

“…”

For a moment like that, this time Yenica looked at Lortel with half-moon eyes open.

Lortel, who had been questioning Yenika until now, also avoided his gaze this time.

“Ed has to go to the bachelor’s class tomorrow as well, so what should I do…”

“If you are in such a painful state, it would be right to take a break from your bachelor’s classes.”

“It is, but… it’s not just a school schedule… Besides, I have a schedule to go to the Cedric’s Monastery with the saint…”

“…yes? Cedric’s Monastery…?”

Lortel heard that and doubted his ears.

Lortel is much more versed in the news of the world than Yenica. Of course, I know a little about the Cedric Monastery, the sacred site of the Telos Church.

Taking Ed to the famous Geumnam District is a bit of a bummer, but I think it’s possible if it’s Saint Clarisse.

The only thing I’m worried about is…

“In this state… are you going to the Cedric’s Monastery…?”

Ed is an ordinary boy who is always rational and calm, and does not make any signs of needless strife. His conduct is also perfect.

However, as I am now, I have a hard time controlling my body, and I don’t have enough time, so I am unnecessarily sweet and kind… If I go to a place like Cedric’s Monastery, a major disaster will happen.

However, Saint Clarisse’s authority within the Telos Church was at a level that could pierce the sky.

If it’s her own schedule, she can’t easily get over it.

“…”

Blood began to drain from Lortel’s face.

Yenica, unaware of the circumstances, tilted her head with a bewildered expression, but Lortel calmly regained her sanity.

“Hey, I think we need to protect him until Ed-sunbae somehow overcomes the energy of medicine.”

“Uh, yeah… I agree with that…”

“Then, if possible, it would be better to have them stay at the company’s facilities. The medical facilities are good, there are a lot of medicines, and if you look through the inventory carefully, you might be able to find a medicine that can neutralize the reagent ingredients.”

It was Lortel who naturally tried to take Ed to the company building by following a logical and neat flow, but…

“Hey, that’s not…! After all, it would be better to lie down and rest in this familiar environment, and you can find medicines even without Ed…!”

“Still, if that’s the case…”

“Oh, no, no…!”

Yenika shook her head at Lortel’s opinion.

After all, it doesn’t make much of a difference whether you’re resting at camp or at a business meeting. Rather, it is more likely that camp is a more familiar environment for Ed.

In that case, I want to avoid the situation of leaving Ed Lortel and him alone in that strangely sentimental state.

“Well, besides… it’s not a good environment to meet more people than necessary…! I’d rather rest alone in the camp! Ed doesn’t want to be in front of anyone in this state…!”

“…”

“He, I mean… someone you can trust… yeah, it’s best to stay still in a place where someone who isn’t dangerous can protect you!”

Saying that, Yenika raised her voice.

Watching her face flushed red and her snoring snoring… Lortel naturally came out with a rebuttal.

“I’m sorry, but Yenica-senpai seems like the most dangerous person right now…!”

“me? I?!”

“Can you say no?!”

“No way…”

It can’t be… it can’t be…!

Even in such a situation, I resent my mentality that I could not lie on my face with an iron plate on my face. But what to do, that it’s a Yenica Palerover…

“It’s not impossible, but I want you to know that just because it doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that it’s not necessarily dangerous!”

“Look at this! You’re trying to fool yourself with an unknown sound again!”

Lortel also began to raise his voice. It is very rare to see a woman who has always been so calm and so sincere.

“Uhhh…”

However, the groan of Ed, who is sitting on a stump between the trees and pressing his temple in front of the bonfire, deepens.

After a moment of silence, Yenika and Lortel looked at each other again and calmly made up their minds. It wasn’t when we were having a disagreement.

“Uh, anyway… If neither Lortel nor me, shouldn’t we find another reliable third party?”

“What time is it now? Do you have that kind of time? I don’t know if such a person exists.”

“Yeah, but… you can’t just leave Ed alone like this…”

So, it was a moment when I had been thinking about it for a long time.

“…what are you two doing?”

Should I say that the relief pitcher has started?

Yenika and Lortel both trusted, and someone they could trust and entrust to Ed… fell from the sky.

“…”

Did he come to find Lucy, who didn’t come back even after bedtime was over?

Or did he come to manage Lortel’s villa according to the contract?

The maid, Bell Maia, who made time to come to the camp even while busy, was about to come out of the bush holding a bunch of discarded clothes for repair practice.

After finishing the work of Ophelis Hall to some extent, he came to the camp to stop by.

I used to send staff, but it’s really Bellmaia that I brought my own clothes.

“…?”

On the faces of the two people as if they had seen the savior, Bell had no choice but to make a puzzled expression for a moment.

*“The Roth Taylors, the Bloom Rivers, and the Callamores are likely to stick with Princess Fenia.”

Also northeast of the Chloël Imperial Palace. Rose Palace No. 2, Princess Persica’s private room.

“The Elpelan House, the Whitefelds House, and the Nortondale House seem to be on the side of Princess Selaha.”

A man who serves as the leader of the Imperial Knights Templar. The man with a dangling beard and tall stature is a man for whom everyone in the imperial family has to bow their heads just by saying his name.

It is only the royal family who can not lose their spirits in front of the man’s authority.

And as if to prove that fact, the girl who was looking up at the large landscape painting of the main building of the Rose Palace with the man behind her head was stiff.

This is a landscape painting by a painter from the Pulan region, depicting the majestic appearance of the Chloël Imperial Palace.

The description is so detailed and beautiful that even Persica, who had seen all the works of art, looked magnificent.

“Princess Fenia and Princess Selaha share the support of some influential people, so is it okay for us to stand still like this? I dare to ask for your opinion.”

The Persica princess looked at the landscape painting quietly, and then she smiled.

“I think we should look at the atmosphere a little more.”

All the officials in the imperial family were paying attention to the rapidly changing power structure.

Even in the midst of this, the appearance of Princess Persica, who looked strangely relaxed, was making Knight Commander Dylux very uneasy.
