How to Survive at the Academy chapter 65

Lucy Meryl (2)

“Anyway, the cat tribes are all unpredictable, so there is no way to play them as intended.”

The classes of Plubang, senior professor of magic science, are very popular. There is a lot to be learned from the content, but the grades are generously given, so every semester, Fluvain’s classrooms are filled with students.

“I think I’ve been touched, so when I ask them to pet them, they pretend to be noble and expensive, but when I’m not interested and I’m busy, they just stick to me and flirt… ”

He looks dandy with his moderately grown long hair hanging down and sweeping up his unshaven chin. There is a reason why it is so popular with female students.

If you feel the atmosphere dwindling during class, he has the skills to evoke the atmosphere by spitting out various nonsense, so he is truly a seasoned human being.

“At first, cats are all of that kind, so if you want to deal with my own will, it’s best to give up your interest in the end. There must be some students who aim for a proper contract ministry or magical creature ministry… If you see a cat creature, give it a try. Rather than forcing yourself to be courteous and friendly, if you just turn off your attention and take a good attitude… Surprisingly, you’ll start flirting with that side. Anyway, this is harder than dating.”

The sound of laughter and applause spreads through the students. It seems that the atmosphere has been ventilated in its own way.

“Well, surprisingly, there are examples of cats and creatures in the course of teaching monster ecology… Let’s pick an example…”

In the midst of the concentration of the students, the story moves naturally with the contents of the lecture that you quickly saw. As expected, the teaching power of the monster ecology class has no one to match Professor Plubeng.

Anyway, the bachelor’s curriculum itself has caught up with me, and these days, my preparation progress has come to the point of surpassing that of my bachelor’s.

My grades, which were stuck in the lower ranks, have also risen a lot, and now, if I only rank the writing process, there are not many students above me.

Still, it’s okay to be vigilant. If you do not have a sufficient foundation in your written performance, you will not be able to achieve good grades in the practical field. I focused my mind on Professor Plubin’s class.

“…I’ll finish it here today. In the next lecture, we will examine the ecological differences between gremlins and ogres. As a related material, three volumes of Introduction to Monster Ecology… You can borrow it from the student library or get it personally.”

The class that I had been focusing on without notice of the passing of time was over, and Professor Pllavin added before finishing the lecture.

“right. And Ed, can you come to the lab once the lecture is over?”

I’ve never had a single experience where anything good happened because I was personally called by a professor. I felt an ominous feeling and wanted to ask him why, but Professor Pllavin gave me an answer before that.

“There was an official notice from the university side. There is something I want to ask you about the undergraduate scholarship.”

Rather, it was good news for me.

*

“Are you familiar with the undergraduate scholarship system? Among the sophomores, there are about ten more students besides Anise and Leon.”

“Isn’t it a system where a certain amount of tuition is reduced instead of contributing to the academic work?”

“okay. I know exactly.”

Unlike his bubbly and dazzling appearance, Professor Plubeng, who treats students with respect, respects whoever he is.

I have an image that I always get the job done neatly thanks to such a straightforward attitude, but when I look at my private lab, which is in a mess because it is hardly organized, I wonder if that is the case again. After all, he is a human being who has no appearance, attitude, or consistency at all.

I don’t know if he’s a quiet and calm person, or if he’s an easygoing and free-spirited person. Just looking at the appearance, it looks like you’re going to hit it straight from the end…

“Recently, there have been some financial issues with the bachelor’s degree, but anyway, the fire is extinguished right away… Right now, there is a shortage of manpower. There is an agenda to recruit more undergraduate scholarship students, so I would like to recommend Ed. The students themselves seem to have a will.”

“I would be fine if the burden of tuition was reduced.”

“okay. I also recommend it. Right now, I’m very busy because I don’t have enough staff, but once the urgent issues are all settled, I’ll be more comfortable. Since we can’t get rid of the bachelor’s scholarship students who have been selected right away, we can get a pretty good tuition benefit from doing chores.”

A semester’s tuition may be covered by the transaction fee with Lortel, but that won’t be a long-term solution.

As for the story, the sale of the sage’s seal seems to have gone as planned. If so, the question of what to do with the seal that has been placed in the hands of the Elte Company remains.

I’ll have to think about how to use my hands right now… I don’t think I’ll sell it to Crepin in a day or two, so I have some spare time. There seems to be a need to visit Lortel once more.

“Anyway, it’s an opportunity for Ed.”

The supply and demand of manpower is not always carried out flexibly according to the workload.

Even if the manpower is recruited in the busiest period, there is no way that it can be easily cut just because the academic operation is stable.

That’s why Professor Plubin is recommending that you take advantage of this time and pull out the tuition benefits as much as possible.

It doesn’t look like that, but… He was a professor who knew how to take care of the students one by one in his own way.

“Are there not enough bachelors these days?”

“It’s not really an area for students to worry about, but… anyway, there’s a pretty big vacancy.”

I was trying to answer that. A fairly large vacancy would be Professor Glast.

It may have seemed as if he was immersed in the study of sexuality, but anyway, he did not neglect his work as an elder professor… Research work, education work, and administrative work at the university were all done by a few alone.

“Currently, assistant professor Claire, who was a disciple, is taking the job as a proxy, but since a novice professor with a short career cannot completely replace the position… I have a lot of teaching assistants in it, so I tend to take care of them.”

Professor Plubin swung his hand toward the corner of the classroom, and the door of the iron cage on that side softly opened.

A grayish-brown snake crawled out of it, tongue-twitching, and climbed onto Professor Fleavin’s arm. I frowned, but didn’t complain. After all, he’s a monster ecology professor, but he wouldn’t be able to control a snake like that.

“Assistant Professor Claire must be going through a lot right now. Still, the teaching assistants in charge are quite competent, so I think it will be a comfort.”

“Then, am I going to join Claire’s assistant professor?”

“Bachelor’s scholarship students are very different from their teaching assistants. It doesn’t belong to a specific professor’s lab… Anyway, it’s convenient to think of it as more of an outsourced person who helps with academic work.”

“What kind of work do you specifically do?”

“I do almost everything related to my undergraduate work. Of course, I don’t ask for intensive work that will affect the student’s personal academic performance… In my case, I sometimes ask for help with paperwork or field trips.”

Professor Pllavin sniffed the snake’s jaw, which was wagging his tongue, and checked to see if he had any health problems.

“Since Assistant Professor Claire has inherited Professor Glast’s work… Well, once the end-of-semester evaluation is completed, he will be in charge of the conference agenda during the vacation… I will take care of it for you. The elder professors will help you a little.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So Student Ed might be helping out with that kind of thing for a while. You will mainly do practical work without affecting your studies. If you see new students, don’t hold on to the military for nothing. ‘Cause I’m so sensitive these days. There are a lot of people who are a little precious.”

I shook my head that there was no such thing. I have no intention of contacting other students more than necessary.

Well, now that I’m in Sylvania, I have a desire to make a bunch of high-quality connections, but I wonder if I have enough mental space to focus on human relationships right now.

Taylor is already on the right track. At first, it’s just shaky, but by this point, unless there are any other problems, Taylor’s growth will show an increase almost as high as that of an exponential graph.

The problem was that it was hard to get momentum, but once you get momentum, you can’t stop it even if you try to stop it. In fact, it was the same during the Glast Subjugation War. In spite of numerous surprises, in the end, everything was accomplished as planned.

Gradually, the opening of the swordsmanship ceremony is almost finished, and now he will begin to stand out as a true swordsman.

Then maybe I can pay more attention to the other side…? Even if you have thoughts of wanting to, the anxiety quickly pops back up again. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of everything thoroughly.

“There are a lot of sensitive issues, especially with regard to freshmen. Most of all… Because there is a story that a saint from the Telos Church will be admitted.”

Professor Plubin let out a deep sigh.

There is always one student in each grade level who has the best interest. It’s different from that person’s strength.

In the current first year, Princess Fenia of the Chloe Empire was driven by the spotlight, and next year’s freshman is Clarisse of the Order of Telos.

＜Failing Sword Castle of Sylvania> Taking the last place of the 4th hero… Clarisse, the heart of Telos.

“Actually, all interest is focused on the entrance of the saint, but besides that, this freshman is full of all kinds of big players. Ed was also on the side of the bachelor’s side to some extent… Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to check it out once in a while?”

With that said, Professor Flavin took out a paperwork and scanned it. Apparently, information about major freshmen has already been shared among the undergraduate faculty.

In fact, even from a bachelor’s point of view, the back of his back will be hot. From last year to this freshman year… There are too many students who are born with natural talents or bloodlines in this generation. The more that happens, the more the professor’s shoulders become heavier.

“However, in front of such brilliant talents, when will Ed be a senior again? The only son of the commander of the Northern Border Corps, the descendants of an alchemist of disaster, or the most powerful man on the continent…”

After talking up to that point, Professor Flavin was speechless for a moment.

Am I talking too easily in front of students? It was an unwise mistake.

As someone who was excommunicated from his family, he seemed to think that it could be a sensitive topic.

I lifted my head slightly and looked at the report papers that Professor Pllavin had received. Not surprisingly, it’s as expected.

There is no need for the professor to pay attention to the students… Still, some words can hurt the students.

Considering that my family was excommunicated and considered my position as I moved around the city, I can say that I have a very good heart.

“it’s okay. professor.”

The picture engraved with magic is the image of a girl. Rich blonde hair wraps around her upper body like folded wings.

With sharp eyes and clear facial features, it looks like someone else. I can feel the dignity comparable to that of a peasant’s daughter, but… I don’t think it can be said that it is a good impression even with empty words.

＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> Act 3, Scene 2. The boss of the student council president election. Said, the girl of the lesser evil.

There was nothing to be surprised about.

This is because Tanya Roth Taylor’s admission to the school was a fact she knew from the beginning.

“Hey. The firewood is running out.”

For a moment, I doubted my ears.

Lucida eats jerky dried on a drying rack at will, takes a nap while lying down somewhere in the camp, or occasionally waking up on the roof of a hut to get some fresh air.

That’s because Lucy suddenly said something productive.

“…What?”

“If we go on like this, won’t we run out of firewood?”

As I sat in front of the bonfire and sharpened my arrows, I asked the question again. what now?

Lazy Lucy, who was just lying and just passing the time as if everything in the world is bothering her… Is she worried about the lack of firewood?

“When winter comes, there will be no shortage of firewood.”

It was Lucy, who was sitting on a nearby rock and muttering jerky.

No, if you look at the drooping posture, rather than sitting…

The sleepy, dazed voice still whispers, but I can’t believe it’s Lucy at all.

“Well, yes, but…”

These days, there is hardly any procuring of firewood. Originally, I was planning to store a lot of firewood for the winter, but I thought I was going to go into the Dex tube around the winter break, so I didn’t need that much stockpile.

“Why aren’t you hunting these days?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“…”

“Were you really that interested in my survival activities…?”

Camp management was, after all, for long-term living in this forest. As my heart began to lean toward joining Dex, I had no choice but to neglect camp maintenance and long-term living base than I thought.

I haven’t decided on my back yet, but I don’t think there’s anything bad about going to the Dex Hall… I wonder if it’s better to be close to the professor’s building if I want to get a bachelor’s scholarship anyway.

I wanted to explain such a situation in detail, but I don’t think I’ll listen to it when I explain it to Lucy, who has been walking the path of indifference to me.

Since the other side is consistent with indifference, I have no specific answer other than to be consistent with indifference.

In the beginning, Lucy is the main character of the screenplay. It’s just that it’s an uncontrollable variable that is comparable to a natural disaster, so we just let it go.

If you join Dex, you will have less contact with Lucy, who is a member of Ophelis, so in some ways, the scenario itself may become more stable. It’s all just speculation though.

I felt suspicious at Lucy’s sudden question, but I wonder if I should give an answer anyway.

So I was choosing an answer… Meanwhile, the grass on the other side shook and a girl jumped out.

“Hello, Ed!”

I’m used to the way he smiles brightly as he brushes off the leaves adhering to his skirt. Putting on a shawl embroidered with cosmos patterns, she straightens her well-dressed school uniform.

For some reason, when I saw Yenica who had come to the camp with a persimmon hairpin on, I was happy, so I waved my hand roughly.

“Is class over today?”

“Yes. Professor Marie’s class that was scheduled for late in the afternoon was canceled. So I came here to rest!”

With a grin, he often walked to the bonfire and sat down, then quickly grabbed the oak stick.

“Now that it’s winter break, you won’t be able to go to camp. We should come as many as we can, yes!”

Having said that, Yenika looked at the campground with a very complicated smile.

“It was really fun and good to spend time here, but thinking that this kind of life is over… I think it’s a bit lonely. I said I liked this camp.”

“It hasn’t been completely decided yet, and we don’t know if there will be a seat in the Dex tube.”

“I’m using the Dex tube right now. There are a lot of vacancies, so Ed will definitely be able to come in.”

Yenika pulled up the hem of her shawl and rolled it around, and he laughed.

When I take a look at the entire camp, I can see a new landscape at a glance.

How long did it take to build a camp like this after being kicked out of the Ophelis Hall? How much work was done, and there were still a lot of things that had to be repaired.

Perhaps the reason I hesitate to enter the Dex Hall… There are environmental reasons, but the effort and time I put into this camp also seemed to play a part.

In any case, the body adapted to camp life to some extent. Now that I’m in a state where it’s not too hard, I can’t help but feel sorry for the effort I put in.

“Ed has a lot to focus on.”

Saying that, Yenika nodded her head with a muffled sound.

“It is not.”

My arms are heavy The iron key in the inner pocket was handed to me by Professor Glast.

Gradually, the investigation of the bachelor is coming to an end, so we should open the library’s secret safe. If I go into the dormitory, there will be restrictions on my actions, so I think it would be better to go check it out tomorrow evening.

Also, it is necessary to check the library status, restore the parts that can be restored as much as possible, and raise my specifications.

After finishing today’s work, let’s enter the hole Lucy drilled tomorrow evening. In order to do that, it seems that it is necessary to make a ladder even if it is coarse.

“It’s a pity that I can’t come to this camp to play, but Ed’s environment is also important. If you ever decide to move to Dex, be sure to call! If there is anything I can do to help, I will help!”

“No, I don’t have a lot of luggage to move anyway. Everything will be there.”

“It is. The facilities would be better compared to the cabin. Also, most of my classmates are in Dex. Yes. If we meet at the student cafeteria, let’s eat together. I tend to eat early, but there are days when Clara and I don’t have time to eat separately… First, on the first day, I’ll tell you all the locations of the facilities. see you in the morning Also, there are cases where more than two people can use the self-study room. Whoops. Mihan, whoa.”

What was so exciting, Yenica vomited and chewed her tongue and was choked up.

Then, I was excited by myself and realized that I had become too talkative, so I bowed my head and apologized for no context. It’s like being drunk and arguing a lot of useless words and feeling ashamed the next morning.

“My, I have a lot of good things to do today! Talking a lot, yes! ahaha. I’ll kill the tension. uhm. Sad thoughts, sad thoughts.”

“…”

“The end-of-semester evaluations have to be completed soon… There is also an election for the student council president during vacation. I need to train more for the high-level spirit contracting ceremony… That’s right… Busy, busy… Really busy…”

It’s so cute that you’re wiping the corners of your mouth down and talking to yourself like that. There is nothing to say, so he waits quietly, and Yenica shakes her back with a sound of “Okay.”

“Voila-“

Then he pulled out a piece of stiff paper from his pocket.

“Application for Dex Kwan?”

“Yeah, it’s the season to apply for a job, so if you apply late, you’re often missing out. So, first of all, it is better to fill out the application form in advance and think about it.”

“Oh, you take care of these things. Thank you so much, Yenika.”

“I wrote this last time I left the office of Ophelis. There are many parts that are secretly vague to write, and the standards are inconsistent, so it was difficult because I had to do it alone. I’ve already done it once, so let’s write it together while I’m there. Ed keeps it and submits it to me later when I think about it.”

Surely it might be a pain in the ass to write later in time. It was the moment when I was about to accept the documents she handed me, expressing my sincere gratitude for Yenika’s consideration.

– Swish.

At an unexpected moment, a girl swung between me and Yenika.

Right now, all I could see was a big witch hat, but just by looking at it, it was clear who the girl was blocking me.

“Lu… Lucy?”

Yenica also stammered, seemingly embarrassed.

Lucy, who suddenly blocked the road with her arms outstretched… For some reason, she opened her eyes and was sweating profusely. It was the first time I had ever seen such an expression, so I was momentarily perplexed.

At first, Lucy had no interest in Yenika.

For the first few days, I noticed Lucy from Yenica’s side… But for a few days, without any reaction, Lucy, who left after taking a nap after doing her own work, had been treated like a folding screen for a long time.

In the first place, it is very precious for Yenika to have a conversation with Lucy.

“…”

Lucy came out and looked at Yenica, then the camp, the drying rack, the bonfire… and then she turned her gaze back to the document she was handing over.

No matter how he stretched out his hand to stop it, he didn’t show any magical power.

Due to her contract with Glockt during her lifetime, Lucy at least does not exercise any power over the members of this Sylvanian Academy.

Unless it is unavoidable due to the content of the class or an unexpected situation, do not accidentally kill or injure anyone. So it was difficult to think that the magic would come out of Lucy’s hand.

However, this did not dispel his animosity towards Yenika.

However, she doesn’t want to use her magical powers… Lucy is shaking and sweating as if the application for a job that is approaching is like a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

As I was walking backwards like that, I banged the back of my head against my chest and slammed it into…

“… um, stop!”

“…”

Saying that, he glanced up at my face once.

As if things were getting complicated, I looked back at Yenika and me again… I looked around the camp… I couldn’t even hide the face of my subordinates, who seemed to be confused about something.

“…ba, don’t take that!”

It was like saying things like that.

The action, which she could not comprehend, had no choice but to remain frozen in place for a while.

“Winter vacation special class…? There is no Professor Glast in the first place, so who is going to lead the class…”

Lortel tilted her head as she sat down at the office table of the upper chamber and received the official letter of the bachelor’s degree.

Anyway, the class A class has to go on, so any professor in charge would come, but I didn’t know it would go through so quickly.

“Well, I’ll be able to afford it around vacation time… It doesn’t really matter.”

Routel sighed deeply, wiping the reddish-brown hair tied behind her back. I’m really busy without even opening my eyes. At the end of the semester, I think I will have some free time.

Anyway, at the end of the semester, Yenica will be busy, and Ed will be busy.

Lucy Well… there’s a good chance there won’t be any noticeable changes right away.

“…?”

Suddenly, a strange sensation runs through my back.

Lortel took off the woolen coat she wore for casual wear once and put it on, then stood up for a moment and opened the office window. Cool air enters and permeates the brain, relieving fatigue.

However, the strange feeling does not go away.

“…what? Why are you so ominous…??”

Lortel tilted her head and looked at the view of Sylvania in late autumn again.

Soon it was winter.
