How to Survive at the Academy chapter 71

Winter (4)

The right mountain, where winter had arrived, was full of bare branches with only bones left.

The intermittent evergreens did not completely decolorize the vegetation, but usually only the pure white hues of the dazzling snowfields came into view.

He brushed off the snow that had accumulated on the flat rocks in the middle of Mt. Oron. After confirming that the moisture had dried to a certain extent, Anise and I sat comfortably on it.

“It’s not a very big mountain, but a mountain is a mountain anyway. There are many areas that are secretly dangerous, and because of the envy, some students may get seriously injured if they slip on the snowy road. I have to keep my mind straight when supervising. Is not it?”

Anise was untiing her gray-brown hair that was neatly tied up. After entering the mountain, he loosened the string saying that the back of his neck was cool and cold.

Her hair, down to her shoulders, is moderately wavy and swaying. When I brushed it off with my hands, the scent of incense candles drifted in.

“Ehhh… it’s hard… Ed doesn’t look hard at all, does he?”

“It’s time to take a break and go. Let’s rest.”

There are no crowds on the right side of the mountain. The time is also the envy, and there are no students who can lead by example to this point in the first place.

It is completely quiet except for the sound of birds chirping and the sound of snow being stepped on. An occasional wind blew, revealing the grass covered in snow, but not enough to break the silence.

“Thank you, Ed. Ed is in good shape. It’s because of me that I’m late for work… but I take care of you…”

Anise touched the tip of her finger and lowered her gaze in shame.

“I must have misunderstood a lot about that… Ed.”

Anise looked up at her with a quick glance, and then avoided her gaze as if something was embarrassed again.

“misunderstanding?”

“How much did Ed know? He… I’m best friends with Yenica… So, I was worried about what would happen if Yenica got along with a bad person… So I think he was cold to The Ed…”

When I think about what Annis had to do with me being cold, it’s not really that big of a deal.

All they did was stare at each other with cold eyes or avoid their seats when they met occasionally.

Well, during the first semester, my academic reputation was shattered, so I fully understand that. It’s not just anise, but most of my bachelor’s students have avoided me, so the anise isn’t particularly bad.

At first, I didn’t really care about finding a place to live.

“it’s okay. I don’t really care. You must have had the same. I understand.”

I roughly said that, and glanced at the field trip checklist prepared by Assistant Professor Claire.

Starting from the mid-slope, check the flat areas where you can place the engineering supplies, check the cliffs that may be dangerous, and prepare a safety device. And it’s quite cumbersome to check the top part where the altar is, but if you hurry up, you can finish it before the sun goes down.

And when I go back to camp, I have a lot of work to do, so I wanted to get things done as soon as possible.

That doesn’t mean he can’t drag the anise that doesn’t have enough stamina. Also, I’m in a position to be careful not to overwork, so it wouldn’t be too bad to take frequent breaks.

“Ed is… more diligent and more sincere than I thought.”

Anise said with shame as she twisted the tip of her head. Then, slowly, he looked at me again.

“It’s really reassuring to have someone like Ed come to the lab. It was hard to be the head assistant on your own… Ed knows, but there are some parts that Assistant Professor Claire couldn’t do well. You are very promising as an academic, but…”

“It is not. You must have suffered too.”

“Ugh, yes, but… it’s okay.”

Anise smiled broadly and grabbed my forearm lightly.

“Ed is here.”

“I haven’t been able to deal with it properly yet…”

“I will help you from now on. Look, the expedition is almost over.”

Anise got up from her seat, and, keeping a glance, came to me and faced me.

“Of course, the other two are helpful enough, but Ed’s presence is a big help for me.”

“…?”

“Ed… I’m sorry if it’s hurtful, but… you’re in the position of being excommunicated from your family, right?”

Should I have a different expression? Even the same smile is different.

The smile that you smiled while looking at me, this time, rather than feeling youthful, seems to be holding back some pain.

With a bitter smile and a savvy figure, he leans back and leans his back slightly. As if wanting to see my face.

“I know that having to stand alone in such a dazzling school… is not easy.”

It’s distinctly different from stinginess. At the same time, it stimulates adult-like charm and a sense of identity as a person of the same age.

He approached me lightly, scanned his arm, and continued talking without erasing his bitter smile.

“I did too. As soon as I entered the school, my family was in turmoil, but I still wanted to attend this school all the time… So I endured it alone.”

“It must have been… painful.”

“yes. It was hard.”

Anise stared blankly at the sky with her dim eyes, and seemed to recall the past times she had endured alone as she split the time.

“It felt like I was flying through a long winter alone.”

There was definitely an impression that the vitality was strong. It was proof that he had solved everything on his own, whether it was the economic part or the other part.

“So I guess that’s why I felt a sympathy with Ed. Ed too, obviously… Bachelor’s life wasn’t easy. Not only that, there were a lot of bad rumors circulating.”

“After I got used to it, it was okay. Don’t be too heartbroken either. You are holding up well enough.”

“Ahaha. thanks We… have a lot in common.”

Since he spit out sentimental words for nothing, he gave me words of comfort and sympathy in moderation.

Something… I wonder if he had this kind of image. Wasn’t it a colder and more realistic personality than this emotional one?

We weren’t very close, so I don’t know that far… Anyway, it was strangely different from the image I’ve felt before. They say you have to look inside a person to know.

“After all, Ed has a very strong heart. I’m so glad that I was able to clear up my misunderstanding with Ed. Umm… Uh… You… you’re talking about too sentimental… It’s okay, I’m getting a fever…”

Anise rubbed her fingers again, then turned around in a fuss.

“Ah, it’s a bit embarrassing anyway! Anyway, we’ve had enough rest, so let’s head to the top! You have to finish it quickly! Be careful not to fall! There are a lot of stone beaks around here!”

As soon as she could finish speaking, Anise slipped over. I accidentally slipped towards me and was sucked into my arms.

“Wow, wow!”

Anise shuddered again, shoved her arm around my chest, and hurriedly escaped.

“Mi, I’m sorry! I tripped over a stone beak!”

“be careful.”

I looked around the floor to remove it to see if there were any dangerous rocks, but I didn’t see any particular rocks. Did you just slip in the snow?

Anise quickly fanned her hands and began to cool her face. It was definitely a shameful situation, so I waited for him to slowly calm himself down.

“Come on, wait… I… Why am I getting so hot… That… I’ll calm down soon…! Please sit here and wait…! I’ll be back soon…!!”

Then, flapping his fan, he quickly goes behind a distant old tree and hides himself.

I sat down on the flat rock and took another breath. I stared blankly at the spread of the breath, and when I looked up, the right mountain, dressed in pure white, came into view.

It was quite spectacular.

“It’s vague.”

Sitting on the root of an old tree that had risen through the ground, Anise captured her expression.

“From the outside, you look really solid and steady… Are you a nerd…? Because you know that I’m Yenika’s best friend…?”

Anise tilted her head and scanned her chin in deep agony. The reaction itself is definitely not cool.

The policy itself was perfectly followed.

He looks competent, but when you look inside, you feel that he is subtly weak and needs to be protected.

A comrade who has endured a difficult academic life well. forming such a consensus.

I didn’t know whether I liked the grown-up thing or the childish and cute thing, so I went with the feeling of encompassing the two to some extent,

After tossing a few subtle touches, in the end, I disguised myself as an accident and overlapped my body hotly.

The other side also seems to be a bit bewildered, but the feeling of being consciously conscious is a bit vague.

Even if I want to watch it a little more, I don’t think it’s a shame if I haven’t gotten past this level.

“Umm… I was too engrossed…”

I wanted to check it out for sure, so I did the method acting. After lamenting over the harsh winter of my college life, I guess my sincerity was mixed with a little bit of sincerity.

what to do Paradoxically, the perfect lie is born when you mix in a little bit of sincerity.

To some extent, it seems like it went on a valid hit, so if there is a response, it will be soon.

“Well, by the way… I didn’t see it that way, but my body is better than I thought.”

Anise opens the palm that just touched Ed’s chest, then folds it up again. It feels like the texture that was harder than I expected is still there.

Acting like San-nim, I have better stamina than I thought. I thought he was an aristocrat who grew up knowing nothing, but surprisingly, he has quite a bit of work. Appearance is not something to be taken into consideration.

Indeed, a heavenly girl like Yenica who doesn’t know anything might be taken aback when she sees it, but… Anise has background knowledge.

In any case, he is a descendant of the overbearing Roth Taylor family, and his former notoriety does not disappear in an instant.

Just because contemplation is a science, doubts about Ed’s behavior do not disappear. To think that women were beaten in this way is also quite convincing.

For the playboys who change masks and change women, this kind of situation would be a breeze. Even in the eyes of Anise, if it is an ambiguous and strange opponent, it is natural for an innocent girl like Yenica to fall for her.

“Yeah, that’s the way it is.”

Anise nodded and cleared her breath.

A thick mask covers the surface of the skin.

The reconstructed Ophelis Hall was much cleaner and more sophisticated than before.

Of course, Tanya, who has just set foot in Sylvania, cannot tell the difference.

I was just admiring the appearance that seemed to be lacking even when compared to the Roth Taylor mansion. When I came to apply for admission in advance, it was still under construction, so I didn’t expect it to be this beautiful.

“The maids organized the luggage you sent. This is the second back room on the 3rd floor.”

The youngest of the Roth Taylor family, the most powerful man on the continent, came. Naturally, Bell Maia, the chief executive of the Ophelis Hall, came out.

When we greeted politely and guided Tanya, she shook her head gracefully.

“Please only complete the recruitment process through the servants. I have a place to stop before that.”

“all right.”

One by one, servants in old-fashioned clothes disembark from Tanya’s majestic carriage. They are both well educated and stylish.

With only a minimum number of users, Tanya turned towards the living wing.

I’m not physically fit, but I like walking. Breathing in the cool winter air, I slowly looked around the campus.

Sylvania’s faculty building is still full of romance. It is a land of study where noble and talented people are reborn as brilliant talents by cultivating themselves individually.

Just playing in between them made me feel like I was a member.

– ‘As a father, I am very happy to hear your will. I really want to support that ambition.’

The benevolent and dignified duke of the Chloël Empire, Crepin Rothtailer.

The last conversation he had with his most esteemed father before leaving the Roth Taylor mansion put more strength on Tanya’s shoulders.

Before leaving for Sylvania, the land of study, I conveyed two resolutions to my father.

In Sylvania, a land of learning where talented young people gather, I will surely become the youngest student council president and raise the honor of my family.

And the disgrace of the Roth Taylor family, which has not yet been fully captured. I will wipe out the existence of Ed Roth Taylor from this glorious Sylvania.

It is Tanya’s aspiration, determined solely for the glory of the high family. Crepin was greatly impressed.

Tanya was so proud of that fact.

Due to the tragedy of the mysterious death of his eldest daughter Arwen and the excommunication of his eldest son Ed, he happened to be seated as the next head of the Roth Taylor family.

In fact, it was difficult to get rid of the sense of entitlement that I might have received an honor that was not appropriate for the subject.

After being accepted into Sylvania and feeling recognized like this… Tanya’s motivation surged again. I wanted to be recognized for my abilities by taking the freshman class placement test quickly.

He was probably the first freshman to enter the dormitory.

Considering the student council election, there is not much time. As much as possible, I wanted to meet the major figures within the university, have their faces stamped, and be on my side.

A first-year student council president, never seen in the history of Sylvania. That position was Tanya’s primary goal.

– ‘There are many ‘big players’ in the school. It is important to persuade each student, but if you want to become the student president in the end, it is important to include key people who lead public opinion as your allies.’

Golden advice from my father Crepin. and help.

– ‘There are quite a number of ‘big players’ I’ve known in the bachelor’s. There’s something you need to deal with right now, so on behalf of me, make a face stamp for them, and make various suggestions to expand your position.’

Even as she moved, Tanya’s breath became short.

He lived in the Roth Taylor mansion and was raised as a young girl like Geum Ok-yeop, but he certainly seldom did anything on his own initiative.

They were only honored with the glory of the family, but they did not actually do anything to the family.

This is your chance. He is also in a position to represent his father, but before that, he is establishing his own position as Tanya Roth Taylor.

“It’s great.”

With a smile, Tanya finished the story.

His own ambition to become the student body president. Willingness to erase the trashy Ed Roth-Taylor and restore the family’s glory to perfection.

And, what can you do when you support yourself? What can you promise?

She brushed off those things and smiled gracefully again.

A girl like a rose that has just bloomed. Seeing such a freshman full of ambition, the ‘big man’, who was facing Tanya with a table in between, sat quietly.

“Anyway, the student council president election is still far away, and before that, as a freshman, I have a lot of work to do, so this is just a light promise. Anyway, if you support me, I can actively reflect your opinions on the proposals for academic regulations that have an impact even inside the living quarters. Seniors. Other than that, someone like you must know much better what it means to have the student council president as an ally.”

And add it naturally.

“There are not many things that seniors have to do. Just support me in the student council election, and… just a little help to end Ed Roth-Taylor. I’m still not quite sure how to handle the bachelor’s work. I want to get as much help as possible, because the more reliable I am, the better.”

Tanya continued her speech with a relaxed look, and pondered again what Crepin had said.

– ‘Sylvania will give you the utmost respect for your status, but in any case, it is essentially a land of study. Even the princess is a place where professors are treated with respect as a teacher when it comes to studies, so don’t be rude by relying on your noble status. All those who are in a higher grade than you are seniors.’

Grade prior to status. Of course, the other party would treat Tanya with respect befitting her status, but she didn’t want to be cocky about it.

Tanya had already heard a lot of rumors about Sylvania’s seniors who already had brilliant talents.

One of the owners of the rumor, a ‘big man’, was welcomed in front of his eyes. Problems before identity. It is a matter of ‘achievements’ and ‘capabilities’.

No matter how lowly a person may be, no one can be humbled by his proven ability. And even veterans who have experienced everything before giving birth are the ones who acknowledge and bow their heads. The opponent is a big lion that eats a lot of ‘big monsters’.

The grace that flows out is no different from that of the nobles. Without Roth Taylor’s prestige, it would have been difficult to enjoy the honor of meeting these giants in person.

– ‘Keep that in mind when you meet someone I’m going to introduce you to. You must respect your opponent. Especially when it comes to negotiations and deals, he is an opponent that cannot be taken lightly.’

– ‘She and I… The sage’s seal project is a relationship that has been revealed. There are still some negotiating items left, so you can handle the matter as my agent. It’s sure to be a good experience… Hmm… No. Stay strong, Tanya.’

Lortel Keheln was looking at the freshman who was looking at him with bright eyes.

“…”

After hearing the story to the end, Lortel slowly closed and opened her eyes… and smiled gracefully at the same time.

“…fun.”
