How to Survive at the Academy chapter 76

Winter (9)

There is a saying that if you want to see the bottom of a person, give him power. Tanya lived with sympathy for those words hundreds of times.

Until the eldest daughter, Arwen Roth-Taylor, was the heir to the family, the Roth-Taylor mansion was always peaceful.

As the next head of the household, everyone in the mansion looked at Arwen, but she was neither arrogant nor shy.

Looking at Arwen, who has never lost his noble dignity and was not interested in anything other than honing himself, I think this is the kind of elegance that is not shaken by the few balls of power he holds in his hand.

Ed Roth-Taylor, who lived only as the second child in the mansion, under the brilliance of Arwen, where everything was perfect.

Up until that point, he was a human being without anything unusual about it.

However, after Arwen Roth Taylor’s death, what kind of human was Ed, who reigned over the Roth Taylor mansion as his successor?

The figure of a tyrant who pretended to be all his own with a little bit of the power of that frail heir… is the true face of Ed Roth-Taylor that Tanya saw.

How desperate is the fact that a human who is only that small, who has been corrupted by such a little power, is the heir to the family. I could never leave it alone.

So Tanya had to defeat Ed.

In order to carry out my will, I had to use any tactic to stop Ed from becoming the head of the household.

will you kill him?

If everything could be resolved with one dagger, I wouldn’t have been so wrapped up in my head.

How heavy was the name of the Roth Taylor family heir?

It is clear to anyone that if you put a dagger in Ed’s chest, Tanya will not be safe either.

Before that, Tanya at that time was a young girl who had just awakened to magical powers.

It is too unreasonable to wish for a young man who boldly stabs the dagger that he held in his hand, or a conspiracy trick that drives him to death without anyone knowing.

In the end, there was only one path set for Tanya.

In the dark shadows, I am just clenching my teeth and training myself and waiting for the right time.

All I have to do is stay up all night to study, learn etiquette, practice magic, and be patient and patient until the sun comes up.

Ed didn’t even hit his brother, who was born in the same bloodline.

However, what was Tanya’s life like when she had to spend time under such a pathetic human being?

I gritted my teeth and lived my life as a good little brother.

He survived among the people in the mansion who were suffering. Although I could sympathize with their appeal… I lived as a helpless person without the power to solve the problem.

He talks about his ancestry as a nobleman, but he has never raised his voice properly.

– Fuwook

After a long day, Tanya took a deep breath as she buried herself in the bed in the private room of the Ophelis Hall.

So much had happened in just one day. There are so many things we don’t know.

Still, there is much more work to be done.

He lived half his life under pressure by his brother who was like a tyrant.

What kind of value did you find in your life of refining yourself as the next head of the household, who may or may not be able to become?

If some ask that, Tanya is just silently repeating herself.

I’m alive, pretending to be dead.

I never doubted that if I lived like that, a time of opportunity would surely come.

Since Ed was excommunicated, all that’s left is to prove himself.

For Tanya, the student council president election, which was approaching next semester, seemed like a unique opportunity.

“Before that… I’ll have to take the class assignment test… Three days later, the entrance to the right mountain… Was it a meeting… Um, the preparations…”

The end of those words was blurred because he could not overcome his tiredness and fell asleep quickly.

It had been a long time since I slept.

“Introduce me to a man.”

To the maid chief Bell, the connections outside the Ophelis Hall are quite valuable.

From noblemtl.com

Most of them have known each other since their senior maid days, partly because they are comfortable with them, and for Bell, who doesn’t often go out of the Ophelis Hall, it’s also an important outside source of information.

Among them, Anise, Yenika’s best friend, is one of the welcome people who often visit Belle. Most of the business was to ask for opinions about Yenika’s love story.

It is because Bell is the maid in charge when Yenica was using the Ophelis tube, so she knows her well, and she has good eyebrows in the first place, so she quickly catches the essence of human relationships.

When Anise came this time, I had hoped in my heart that there had been some progress between Yenika and Ed.

As Bell is a human being, it is inevitable that he will be curious about Yenika’s love story. If Anise actively came to Belle and asked for her opinion, I thought there must have been a huge incident, and I was ready to listen…

“If possible, I would like to be a handsome, tall, handsome person.”

Anise spoke confidently as if he didn’t care about Yenika.

“Hey, is it all of a sudden?”

“Mr. Bell worked as a maid in the Ophelis Hall for a long time, so you know a lot of male students who don’t have lovers, don’t you know?”

“It is impossible to divulge the privacy of the new recruits, but…”

“You can’t leak. I just want you to introduce a man you want to be okay with.”

The Rose Garden of the Ophelis Hall in the early morning.

It was Bell who was protecting the stems of the roses from the passage for fear that the new students would be stabbed by thorns.

It’s not that strange to see Anise looking strangely tired, as if she had not slept at night.

This is because he is a student who is always carrying all kinds of heavy duties on his back. She is a girl who is in charge of Claire’s research lab as a senior assistant while performing various scholarship tasks and studies at the same time.

It’s a workload that can’t be dealt with with a fair amount of work and time management skills.

“By the way, Miss Anise is also surprised. I thought you wouldn’t put so much importance on things like dating.”

“I can have some love. It’s okay if you’re a little unlucky, so please introduce me to a guy who is taller if you can, and who you want to be handsome just by looking at him.”

“Aren’t you the kind of person who goes out of your way to meet men like that…? No, did you have any dating experience in the first place…?”

“…”

“Sir, I’m sorry. That… wasn’t meant to be bad.”

I made a speech mistake that didn’t sound like Bell. It’s almost like once a year or so. Bell was also in the midst of panic.

“You’re always busy, aren’t you the style of doing your best to take care of yourself? So, of course, I thought that love had no meaning. Why, that… just like Master Ed in the 3rd year of preparatory school. The two of you have a lot of strange similarities.”

“Uhm…”

It’s unusual to see him holding his chin as if hesitantly and avoiding his gaze to the side.

When you say who Ed Roth Taylor is, isn’t that Yenica Palerover’s unrequited love?

And the fact that Anis is Yenika’s undoubted best friend… That degree of relationship is already clearly drawn on Bell’s head.

With one eye, the incredibly fast Bell carefully scooped out the anise.

“Hey, maybe…”

Anise looking at the roses in the garden without needing to dodge her gaze.

Bell swallowed a gasp for a moment.

“Ah, I won’t hide it anyway, because Bell has an amazing eye. yes that’s right. It’s exactly what Belle thought.”

“Uh, what happened…?”

“Well, it’s funny, but… that guy wasn’t very well-received. From what I’ve heard, it’s said that the female side is also gorgeous. I’ve heard that it’s mostly just rumors, but… I still wanted to check it out myself.”

“Yeah, that’s right. therefore…?”

“So what… I got involved in this way and then… that’s what happened… I have more in common than I thought, and we communicate well… People have a heavy taste, and that’s just how…”

From the middle, he turns his head and blurs the tail of his horse while saying ‘Yuyamu’. However, with Bell’s amazing eye, it caught my eye that the tips of his ears were already red.

Is this another big event to do? Bell managed to grab something that was out of the ordinary and nearly stunned him.

“I don’t have to hide it. I am good at self-objectification. It’s a style that shyly denies one’s heart and doesn’t shovel when it doesn’t work.”

“Then, in the end, to Master Ed…?”

“yes. What a cool thing to admit. As a member of the opposite sex, I felt a bit attractive. It can be, I’m a girl too. Now that things have come to pass, we have to admit what we have to admit and take measures. Isn’t it?”

The ability to identify problems, solve problems, and drive like a senior assistant deserves applause.

However, there is no way that a relationship problem between people can be dealt with just like that.

However, Anise didn’t know anything about it. Rather, it was more convenient to cut it for business purposes.

“Mr Bell. Yenika is one of the few friends that I really cherish with all my heart. Rather, this is good news. If I’m a man who’s genuine enough to be attracted to, it means that Yenika has really found my mate. Where else can you find a slope like this?”

“Hey… Miss Anise.”

“In the end, if I quickly capture it from my heart, there will be no problem any more. I’m glad I found it early. After all, love is also part of the chemistry that takes place in the human head, right? Considering that it is a malignant tumor, it is quite fortunate. You found it so quickly.”

I am glad that I have a habit of excluding subjective viewpoints as much as possible and looking at myself objectively.

Having said that, Anise took a deep breath and sat quietly in the pavilion in the rose garden. It didn’t look very good to Belle’s eyes that he looked tired even though he didn’t do anything.

“Now that the problem has been recognized and a solution has been established, all we need to do now is to treat it well. Think of it as finding it too late and you can’t even fix it. How terrible. It is truly a blessing to have found it so early.”

“It’s a bit too much to describe it as a treatment…”

“I think it’s similar in the end. Anyway, it’s a series of relationships in the world, and even if it’s a man, he’s not the only one… You just need to meet new people and make new love well, right?”

“You talk so easily…”

“Things that seem complicated are simpler than you think if you systematize them like this.”

Anise puts the file folder she was holding in her arms on the pavilion’s table and scribbles down something with a quill.

Bell lifted his head slightly and looked at the file folder.

In the lower chapter, which looks like a twisted crack, there are traces of various mind maps drawn about all kinds of feelings about Ed Roth Taylor and how to deal with it in the future. There are a lot of parts that are drawn from the north drum, and it looks like they put a lot of effort into it.

He pretended to be full of leisure, but in his head, he was fighting a war alone.

“Anyway, a crush can be overlaid with a bigger crush. If I meet a better and stronger man and share good love in my own way, everything will be fine, right? So, if we only find a replacement man and we are lovers, we only go out and talk about the neighborhood…”

“I have two opinions I would like to give.”

Unbelievably Belle cut off Anise’s words. Anise flinched, listening to Belle.

“First of all, asking someone to introduce you while saying you are a ‘man to replace’ is a huge disrespect for the person concerned. At least I can’t arrange a meeting with someone that way.”

The fact that he delivers the truth firmly without making the opponent offended is indeed worthy of being called a veteran maid.

“Even though I am an anise girl, I have never lacked consideration for others to this extent. Also, even if you are looking for a new relationship, you just need to get to know each other, and there is no need to stamp your lover in a hurry. In my eyes… Miss Anise feels very chased…”

“…”

“Have you ever… Miss Yenica noticed Miss Anise’s love affair?”

Anise took a deep breath with the sound of huh.

“Then it explains why Miss Anise is in such a hurry to make a lover.”

Anise knows just how good Bell’s eyes are. That’s why he and Clara came all the time to discuss Yenika’s love story.

I wouldn’t have imagined that the arrow of that eye would point at myself.

“Anyway, my heart is somewhere else… Perhaps the cleanest way to prove your innocence is to find a new lover… Miss Anise… Miss Yenica is really dear to you.”

Anise was afraid that Yenika would be hurt before her heart’s whereabouts, so she set out to take a countermeasure.

At that, Anise hesitated for a moment, then raised the corners of her lips and smiled like a mourner.

“It would be better if it was packaged that way. It looks like something very plausible.”

Then he cleared his throat a few times and continued the conversation.

“You said it very grandly, but in the end, I think that all human emotions are just a collection of organic reactions that can be tuned. It’s not like I’m taking great care of it. It’s still in the early stages, so if we can adjust slowly…”

“Have you met Miss Yenica?”

Ignoring all of Anise’s words, Anise was again speechless at Bell’s question, which came in from the core.

After that, he exhaled slowly, as if confessing.

“Yeah.. I ran into you yesterday while passing by the Gyoza-dong… and we broke up without even saying goodbye…

“okay.”

“And… I have to supervise the exam with Ed for next week’s class placement exam… I don’t know what kind of face I’m going to have…”

Having said that, Anise did not say anything while bowing her head.

Bell took a deep breath, closed his chin, and pondered for a moment.

In a corner of the rose garden, where sparrows chirped in the morning light, there was silence for a long time.

“It may not be as big as you think. Maybe it will work in a positive way..?”

Bell’s conclusion was unexpected.

“yes?”

“If you think of Miss Yenica… How long can you not remain as such a pure white canvas person?”

After much deliberation, I came up with a way to end the story without hurting anyone.

There is only one person who may be in trouble, but for now, there is nothing we can do about it. Bell sent a deep apology to Ed in his heart.

“As Miss Anis knows well, Miss Yenika is always kind and sincere to others. That’s probably a good thing… but sometimes people break down more easily than they think if they don’t shake off their negative emotions.”

Bell sat next to Anise and continued the conversation slowly.

“Maybe it will be a good opportunity for Miss Yenica. It’s about getting angry, complaining, and grunting. It may be difficult right now, but surprisingly, how helpful it is to shake off your emotions in that way.”

“Is that so…?”

“Above all, one of the emotions that provokes that part the most is jealousy. Miss Yenica is a very altruistic person, so she probably has little experience in harboring deep feelings of jealousy towards others. Also, if you get confused by those feelings, your mind will probably weaken. It will be very difficult.”

Isn’t that what Anise was worried about? As Anise was about to point out that nothing had been resolved, Bell hit the player first.

“In the first place, was it not that Miss Yenica was too perfect?”

At Bell’s words that penetrated the essence of the problem, Anise was speechless again.

“Come on, try it. protective instinct.”

Recalling the conversation she had with Clara one day… Anise opened her mouth.

In the first place, Bell already knew.

It’s definitely a place Yenika would go to when her mind is confused and struggling.

Bell sat still and gently patted Anise on the back.

Seeing him encouraging him that there was no need to feel so guilty, Anise suddenly let go of her heart.

“What, when did you come?”

“…”

It was in the middle of bringing magic engineering supplies near the entrance to the library and covering them with a tent to prevent snow from accumulating on them.

It was time to trim the materials for warehouse construction.

Just because training in the manufacturing industry has been on track to some extent, training should not be neglected.

Above all, I feel the need to expand the space inside the cabin a little.

From noblemtl.com

Most of the engineering training will be done in the library, but I thought it would be nice to be able to make simple daily necessities or do a simple process in the hut.

I want to make a storage space by drilling a good hole in one side of the outer wall, and I want to make a living space by making a hole in the other side. I’m worried that if I do that, the amount of work will be a bit too much…

Anyway, it was quite cold when I came back to the camp thinking about the production schedule. When I came out with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, Yenika was sitting on her knees in front of the bonfire.

There is something that doesn’t feel as lively as usual, so looking at his expression, it’s still dark.

“cold. Would you like a cup of tea?”

As I said that, I nodded slightly and placed my chin on my lap.

Yenica Gun, who normally would have been joking around and arguing about personal details, could tell what had happened just by pretending.

I poured the last remaining herbs into the cup, scooped out the tea leaves well, saved them, and took two cups with me.

She sat down next to Yenica and offered a cup, and she was able to pick up a fairly large mug with her tiny hands.

Then, quietly swaying the car, they sat next to each other in front of the bonfire and rested.

“It’s snowing again. It was still quite piled up, but it seems to come around once every two days.”

The place where the light snow falls gently and is already full of passengers.

Even in winter, the evergreens do not lose their color, but there is nothing to be done in front of their pure white eyes.

The whole world is dyed white, only the bright light of the pounding flame stands out more.

If you glance at Yenika with a side squint, she is still holding her knees and chasing a few tea leaves floating in the mug.

It is rare for Yenica to be so openly shy.

This is because he himself, who has always been bright and innocent, knows how difficult it is for the people around him to be when he is shy.

“If you have any concerns, you can tell me.”

After saying that, Yenika bouncing her head up and looking at me… she opened her mouth to say something.

Then he spoke with sad eyes.

“Sorry. I can’t speak.”

“Then you don’t have to say anything.”

What we sometimes forget is that Yenika is also a person with limitations.

With his head down and his knees clasped, the depressed figure is like a cornered little animal… It often provokes an unknown protective instinct.

I roughly raised my hand and wrapped it around Yenica’s opposite shoulder… and patted it gently. It is an added bonus to share the warmth of the thick blanket.

I was worried that the distance would be widened by surprise, but Yenika raised her head up like a mole and tried to say something for a moment before closing her mouth again. I feel like I have lost my energy due to being depressed.

After a while, Yenika buried her side hair on my shoulder.

We stared at the bonfire for a long time without saying a word.

Winter continues.

It’s too cold to endure forever with a blanket and a bonfire.

Still, spring was approaching lightly.
