How to Survive at the Academy chapter 43

Any one professor (1)

[ That fire fox kissed Master Ed. ]

It has been three days since the second semester started, and the class progress was about to move forward as if sailing in the wind.

Class progress didn’t mean much to honor student Yenika, so even though she missed class for 3 days every day on the pretext of being ill, there was no burden.

Still, writing subjects such as magic history and magic theory will quickly turn the report card red if you’re not careful, so you’ll have to roll the pens slowly. Even so, constant communication with the spirits is the same as the main job of the spirits, so it cannot be neglected. It’s a busy time.

Outside the living quarters, if you leave the Dexgwan built at an angle at the foot of Mt. Oron and sit leaning against the zelkova tree, the spirits still gather today.

Even today, there are so many that the area around the zelkova trees is crowded. Today, even Lieutenant Wind Spirit Pessi and High Fire Spirit Takan are sitting together, so it looks like a corps is stationed there.

“…what?”

[This must not stand still. Jenica Miss. ]

It was normal for him to be skeptical and report every single task of the northern forest. However, these days, I have a feeling that Ed’s weight is increasing in the stories the spirits bring.

For Yenica, she listens to such stories with fidgeting, but she doesn’t really hate it, so she listens.

However, today’s breaking news mixed with the chatter of the spirits is like a blue sky.

[ You never know when that woman like a fox will strike again. This, if we don’t get our hands on it… ]

[What do you do with your hands? ]

The lower wind spirit Charis, in the form of a sparrow, flaps its wings and vomits in anger, but Peshi, in the form of a lion, gently counters it.

[ It’s up to Miss Yenica to decide, what can we do? ]

“Come on, wait. What are you talking about? Did you kiss me?”

Yenica, who could not follow the flow of the story, asked again, and this time, Takan, who was lying with her huge body wrapped in zelkova trees, answered.

[I saw that too, but it’s hot. I like youth, too. ]

“…”

[ That woman, like a fox, knows how to play with people’s hearts. Watching that push and pull and tickle people’s hearts, if it wasn’t for that guy like Ed, I think I’d have gone crazy. ]

“What are you talking about!”

Yenika kicked her seat and squeezed Tarkan’s huge neck.

“What do you mean!”

[Will you make me say that again, Yenika? As you can see, the fire fox crossed the line a bit. ]

“Ed? Ed’s reaction?!”

[Oh, that’s definitely a piercing question. When I was watching, he hit the wall really well. I even gave him a kiss, but there was not a single movement on his face… I was amazed by what I saw. ]

As if to comfort Yenica, who was stunned, Takan continued speaking with that serious and profound voice.

[How coldly I received it. Even me, who was watching, shrank. I hit it like that, but the reaction is so cool. This is one of the two. That fallen nobleman was either an eunuch in the first place, or he didn’t see his opponent as a woman at all. ]

“That… that’s… fortunate…”

Yenika tried to catch her breath, but then swallowed her breath again. I’m happy. what do you mean happy Is this the time to take a breath and say that you are lucky?

[Takan. I think you’re still being too direct. ]

[ I’m reminded why, however, Pesci. It’s even worse to talk round and round about things like this. It didn’t seem like it when she had a reassured face, Yenika. It’s not a good thing that the fallen nobleman hit a wall at the fire fox. ]

“…What?”

Takan is a high-ranking spirit that has lived for so long that it is impossible to count them all by hand. The years of living looking at all kinds of human figures cannot be seen in water.

[ In my experience, the more people like that fire fox, the more they stick to it and burn it. He looks like a human full of greediness, but once he decides to make himself his own, he’s definitely the type to get rid of the liver and gallbladder. If you stay still, you will lose your Holadang, I mean, Yenika.]

“He…but… Ed said the reaction was not cool…”

[Originally, male bastards are good at attacking, but their defense is weak. There is no such thing as a fortress that will not collapse in the end no matter how much a human being who is like wood and stone pushes against it with such one single heart, Yenika. ]

Perhaps the spirit posture was uncomfortable, and when Takan straightened himself up and lay down, the lower spirits around him were swept away. Its huge body makes the surrounding spirits notice with just one change of posture.

[Like a princess in a fairy tale, sit in a small place and one day you will look after me~ Do you think the relationship will be fulfilled if you fall in love with it? The reality is not so. You have to fight dirty and dirty to win. ]

[Takan. I think the way you talk is too naive. ]

[Did I say something wrong? ]

[ I’m not saying it’s wrong, but… Why, you can turn it around a bit more. ]

[Why do you have to go round and round? be frustrating ]

Takan wiggled his tail and pointed the reptilian’s characteristic sucking pupil toward Yenica.

Yenica’s complexion had already turned blue at Peshi and Takan’s words.

[Anyway, Yenika. Don’t stand still and make some progress. I heard you said you were going to teach me some spirit magic? Then there must be a reason to be alone for the time being. Are you going to blow away this great opportunity? ]

“Yeah, yes… what do you think of me…”

[ What, what, how? Next time we meet, you should start kissing first. If you’re falling behind, give me a little bit of resentment, Yenika. ]

At those words, as if imagining something, Yenika opened her mouth and sat down on the zelkova tree again. No one specifically questioned me, but as if driven by a tree, he stepped backwards and stuttered.

“What are you talking about…!”

[ Was it a situation that made sense for that fire fox to start kissing all the time? This is what happened, but are people still having a good laugh? ]

[Takan-sama… Aren’t you making too much of an unreasonable request from the innocent Yenika girl? ]

[Isn’t it a good thing when things go well? I don’t really like the Fallen Nobility, but… Well, as a male, he’s pretty good. The determination to cut off my head while I was in a rampage state, as well as a calm personality, seems to be innate… It goes well with Yenica, who is a bit emotional. ]

[Really… A review like that of a granddaughter looking for a groom is too old for you, so please refrain from it. ]

[Well, I’m actually old. ]

frame.

I can’t follow the frame of the story. Yenika thought about it, and was troubled.

‘Gi… Do I really have to do anything? But what do you do…?’

For Yenica, who instantly loses her mind just by holding her hand, kissing is already a realm of space above the distant sky.

In a situation where you have to consider even more… you have to reach the realm of so-called cosmic horror… the fear of indescribably huge beings.

It was very pitiful to see Yenica sweating profusely, so Lieutenant Wind Spirit Pesci added the words in the end.

[Well, you don’t have to be so nervous, Miss Yenica. I don’t know for anyone who talks like Takan-sama, but… I felt strangely comfortable in Ed’s attitude toward Miss Yenica. It’s different from when you deal with that bull fox. ]

“…okay?”

[ yes. This is not really empty words. If you watch it slowly with delicate eyes, it’s definitely… Master Ed seems particularly comfortable when dealing with Miss Yenica. When dealing with other first graders, it feels like a strangely psychological line is drawn, but it seems like that line doesn’t exist for Ms. Yenika. ]

Delicate Pessi intuitively recognized the difference, but could not articulate what that comfortable feeling was.

Ed’s light and comfortable attitude toward Yenika is thanks to her position that is eventually out of the scenario.

But unfortunately, none of them realized just how powerful an advantage it was. I couldn’t figure it out in the first place.

[So, I don’t think there is a need to eat too quickly. Because Miss Yenica is the most attractive when she looks like Miss Yenica. ]

“….okay? really? Even if that… Lortel ran wild, wouldn’t Ed not budge…?”

[ … ]

“why! Why can’t you answer me! why!”

Pesci couldn’t make any more certainty than this because he was too sure of what would happen.

Unfortunately, it only amplifies Jenica’s anxiety.

[Uh huh, answers. ]

Yenikawa is twisting her hair and confused as to what to do, and Pesci is scratching her back against a tree trunk in embarrassment.

Can’t you just let it cool off? It’s a tedious method, but that’s the surest thing.

with such a fleeting thought. Tarkan just kept his mouth shut. It was a battle of what to say more.

[By the way, a strange magical flow was detected outside the northern forest. I’ll have to check it out when I have time. ]

If you think about it, the purpose of regularly gathering and reporting like this is to check whether there are any abnormalities or obstacles in the behavior of the spirits.

Recently, it feels like the main audience has been turned over because of a fallen nobleman, but since it’s the right thing to do, Tarkan quickly continued his conversation.

“…yes?”

[The fact that they are especially active at night seems to be related to the Holy Spirit Magic. The exact location will be determined by Merylda. If you don’t see him these days, he seems to be paying attention to that. ]

“Does it look dangerous?”

[ Well… it doesn’t look dangerous, but it’s not bad to know. ]

Yenika, a single student, does not have to take responsibility for the safety of the bachelor, but the events of the northern forest are not a private matter for the spirit lord Yenika.

I have to stay at this school for at least two more years until the 4th grade, so in the meantime, I can’t pay attention to the northern forest, which is nothing more than the home of the spirits.

[More details, I’ll tell you later. Next time you meet the Fallen Nobility, try to come up with a more specific plan, whether you want to kiss or quit. ]

At those words, Yenica blushed like a blush and kicked Tarkan’s shell with her feet, but the grumbling that came out of her shyness couldn’t even hurt Tarkan’s body.

Yenica knew it too, but she just banged on the wall with the feeling of being kicked.

[What are you supposed to do in the first place, Takan-sama? If that fire fox has already gone down like this, there is not much to do in this area. If you come and kiss me now, you’re only a latecomer. ]

[Oh, that’s definitely a sharp point. Pesci. Actually, I talked about japatri and everything, but it doesn’t have to be more intense than what that fire fox is doing. On the contrary, it’s not bad to keep the naive or fresh feeling. Anyway, this is a situation where we have to make a quick move once in a while.. ]

[ hoo… ]

It was a pretty decent point for a Takan with a stereotyped way of thinking. Pesci also agreed.

Because your charm is more important than the level of your actions.

[So, Yenica… think about it. What do you think… a heart-pounding, fresh situation or landscape, roughly what kind of feeling…? ]

I knew it would be difficult to get a plausible answer if I asked Yenica, who was already overloaded, but I couldn’t help but ask.

What is the form of Yenika’s romance? It is really important to check that point in the future progress. It is shameful and courageous to divulge such a dark romance, but it is something that must be clearly pointed out.

Yenika, who had been pushing her body to the limit of the zelkova tree trunk, finally came up with an answer with difficulty.

“Bob… and feeding each other…”

[ …. ]

[ …. ]

In the first place, my master was such a human being.

Realizing that fact again and again, Tarkan and Pesci had no choice but to take a deep breath.

“Come on… ah- do it. ah-.”

“ah – “

He blew the soup thick and shoved it into Lucy’s mouth. A small mouth seems to be filled with even a small-sized spoon.

Lucy drank the soup like a baby bird eating food, then swallowed it and sticks out her tongue.

“Wow, it doesn’t taste good-.”

“Certainly, the spices are not varied, so it is difficult to taste. Cooking skill training should be delayed until the ingredients become more diverse.”

“Don’t use people as tasters.”

There was a lot of medicine and I pushed my back with my feet, but I didn’t care and poured the rest of the soup into the pot.

Lucy doesn’t look like that, but the taste itself is high-end. However, they are pickled in all kinds of healthy diets, so they are easily attracted to spicy, salty, and sweet spicy foods.

Still, in order to properly fill the culinary proficiency, it is necessary to frequently cook properly as well as stimulant preserved foods.

However, I feel that my taste has deteriorated a lot because I have survived for a long time in the wild. All kinds of food are delicious, so for proper gourmet food, you can only ask a person with a good taste.

Considering the effect of cooking skill proficiency on talent stats, it cannot be neglected… Again, no matter how diversified the types of ingredients, it always feels insufficient.

“Hmm…”

After finishing today’s wood cutting, I checked my life skills while sweating profusely.

I tend to check the crafting skills that will be an important foundation for my growth as often as possible. A new problem that is emerging these days is the difference in skill level between skills.

As I said, the higher the skill proficiency, the slower the growth rate. Talent stats, which are core stats, are greatly affected by the sum of skill proficiency in life. Therefore, naturally, the growth range of talent stats is inevitably slowed down.

So, it is necessary to raise the skills that are still low in proficiency as much as possible. This is because the growth efficiency is still good compared to other skills,

I feel the need to unlock the basic crafting skills that haven’t been unlocked yet, and to train the lagging skills like cooking and repairing… The problem is that I’m too busy to eat and buy.

If Lortel receives the promised gold coins, I want to spend some money on food and daily necessities… but I don’t want to waste money on consumables even though the hut is not finished yet.

“After all… you don’t have enough time…”

To make matters worse, he even started school. The amount of time that I can fully spend on survival activities in a day is about five or six hours at the most. Anyway, that’s the story of when I slept less.

The time has come to think more about the efficiency of survival activities.

“Scenario… Is it okay so far?”

The worst thing happened: Elte was dismissed early. I still don’t know the cause, but anyway, the problem itself is well sealed.

I don’t know how this anomaly will work, but there doesn’t seem to be any noticeable changes right away.

The main characters of the scenario keep an eye on them whenever they have a chance. Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.

In the end, the most important characters in the affair are the main character, Taylor, and the four major heroines.

What is Taily… He’s a combat team member, so he can’t see his face well, but rumors say that the ticket for the inferior is removed immediately. With that talent and momentum, he might be able to enter Class B by the third year.

It seems that ‘Companion Isla’ is still fulfilling its role as Taylor’s supporter. If you ask questions, it seems that he is always close to Taylor and seems to care or support him.

‘Princess Fenia of Charity’ also seems to be living well without any problems, but it is time to start to collide with Lortel, so you have to keep an eye on it.

‘Golden Daughter Lortel’ is the most disturbing situation. I don’t know what kind of change will happen to Elte’s early dismissal. Apart from Elte, there seems to be no change in the plan to seize the Sage’s Seal right away. Right now, I have to play the role of the middle boss in Act 2, Chapter 10, but I have no choice but to pray that nothing happens.

Clarisse is… You don’t have to worry about it now, because she’ll be entering the school next year.

For the time being, I have no choice but to observe the situation as if I was walking on a thin ice sheet.

Above all, Glast, the final boss of Act 2, has a lot of patterns in which only Taylor’s swordsmanship type takes damage. In the first place, Aspect magic itself has a unique structure, so it is difficult to subdue it with magic alone.

Taylor’s power is also a problem, but the actions of the bachelor’s faculty will be just as important.

“You should grab me and check it out. But… let’s be careful not to get entangled more than necessary.”

Anyway, all I have to do right now is check the traps and trim the meat. I shrugged my shoulders and walked into the woods.

Now that the cottage chimney has been completed, you can move in only after you finish the wallpaper and flooring.

Soon, the time will come when life becomes stable. you can do it…

“I have put together the ejaculation record here. Claire assistant professor.”

“Thank you, Anise.”

One of the most difficult tasks for first-year assistant professors is finding an assistant who will work for them.

Few students want new professors to be assigned as advisors, so compared to veteran professors, manpower is running out.

For Claire like that, Anise was a very grateful student. He is a model student who has an easygoing personality, clean work, and faithfully respects professors without judging them based on their careers.

“Isn’t there anything else you received from the Academic Inspection Department?”

“yes. If you ever need anything else, please call me anytime.”

Anise greeted her with a bright smile and waved her hand as she left. In any case, since the assistant professor is also a professor, he must maintain the minimum dignity.

In fact, Claire tends to be perceived as a close sister rather than a dignified professor, but that doesn’t make her a really friendly acquaintance.

“After all…”

Claire bowed her head again among the piles of files. There are more data from the Ophelis building occupation than expected. I read each one carefully, but the feeling of uneasiness does not go away.

As the youngest professor, who is in charge of all chores, even if she wants to just rough it up, the suspicion that lingers in the back of her heart in the end haunts Claire.

It doesn’t feel like the end of something has been unraveled.

Check Alice’s listening log, sort the events by time period, and collate eyewitness testimony.

The mouth of the story itself fits well, but why does it feel like an empty puzzle piece remains?

“Do I need to worry so much about a case that was concluded to some extent in the first place…? I’m so tired I think I’m going to die…”

It’s just a chore that Professor Glast has taken over, so shouldn’t we just take it easy and report it to Professor Glast that it’s over?

I keep thinking about it, but Claire was the owner of a personality that couldn’t handle things roughly.

“Umm… Hmm…”

He continues to look at the file folder, contemplating the identity of the sense of incongruity. If I could feel the existence of a dark film that had not yet been revealed… would that be an overreaction? Have I read too many novels full of conspiracy theories?

Still… If you feel uncomfortable, it would be better to fix it for sure.

Claire thought that it would be good to meet up with the ‘subjects for further investigation’ of the book, and listen to the situation.

Ed, Yenica, and Ziggs.

Since the case was over, I thought that there might be some kind of darkness… but there was nothing wrong with beating the stone bridge and crossing it.

“Yenica and Ziggs are famous kids, so I understand… Ed… Ed… I’ve heard their names a lot…”

Only then, his full name, which he can no longer call himself, comes to mind. Ed Roth Taylor.

As a descendant of the Roth Taylor family, he was a now excommunicated fallen nobleman.

“…”

Claire clasped her chin and looked down at the file folder quietly. Something… invisible… It felt like the bottom of an iceberg.
