How to Survive at the Academy chapter 8

Day before school starts (1)

“Now… how about this…”

A small lake in the southeastern part of the North Forest. The ‘Guardian Tree of Merylda’ on the central rock island.

When I found the Elementalist Yenika, who was leaning against the tree and concentrating on her, I was lost in thought.

*

Gradually, the school year was approaching.

There were a lot of things to prepare for going to school. First off, what should I do?

Because of the ten days of living in the wild, my soul was infinitely close to a natural person. Although he washed himself by the stream every day, his sparsely grown beard had to be shaved.

I used to shave by sharpening the blades of the hinges removed from the wooden bag, but I was a little scared. If you cut while shaving with a rusty blade, you may get a disease like tetanus.

However, in Sylvania, if you wanted to maintain your academic life without being noticed, maintaining dignity was one of the basics. From my point of view, with my goal of graduating as unnoticed as possible, I was walking around like a beggar and getting noticed by a bachelor’s staff was no big deal.

I’ll have to figure out a way to get a clean razor blade.

I picked up the bow only after getting dressed up like that and preparing to go to school.

[ Combat Ability Details ]

Rank: Beginner to Combat

Specialty: Bow

Bow Mastery Lv1

————–

Without hesitation, I decided to specialize in the field of combat ability with the bow.

There are 4 ability items in ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’.

Battle, magic, life, alchemy.

It was a system to determine one’s professional occupation by combining two of them.

Specializing in combat and magic is a magic swordsman, or a magician.

If you specialize in magic and alchemy, you become an alchemist or an alchemist.

If you are a player who can freely choose their own profession, there is room for consideration, but in my case, the two ability items to combine have already been decided.

Skills in the field of life were essential for survival,

In the beginning, he possessed a student in the Ministry of Magic, so magic training was unavoidable.

In other words, to specialize in magic and life skills is not an option, it is a necessity.

The compatibility between the two is not very good, but the possibility of going out with magic engineering or enchanters is open.

Then, as mentioned before, there is no other weapon that is more compatible with the bow.

It is difficult to be good at close combat because the stats such as endurance, muscle strength, and reflexes are low. Attacking the enemy unilaterally from a distance would be the most ideal battle composition…

If the proficiency of life-related skills increases a lot and you can create high-quality arrows, you may be able to give the arrows a spirit or magic formula.

Therefore, it can be said that it would be ideal to specialize in the bow as a combat ability, and to specialize in spirits as an alchemy ability.

“It’s spirit art…”

However, there is a skill that must be innate in spirit art, and that is the ability to respond to spirits.

The ability to sympathize with spirits is definitely limited in honing them as training. That is why, historically, all of the great spirit magicians were born with a constitution to respond to spirits.

“If it doesn’t work out, it’s unavoidable… but it’s unfortunate…”

In the first place, there are not many good things to specialize in alchemy skills themselves. At least it’s herbal medicine…

Still, it’s impossible to force the spirit sensitivity that doesn’t exist, so if it’s a pity, you’ll have to come up with a different method.

“Anyway, I’ll have to try the bow I made all night tonight.”

When I made a bow that had a whopping two stages of difficulty in making it, I was thrilled with it, but there was another question as to whether it would be practical.

When it comes to arrows, all they do is hang sharply sharpened hinges from a branch. I used all of the hinge blades I had to make 4 rounds, but honestly, I don’t know if it’s going to be lethal.

It may not be meaningful to large beasts like wild boars, but it may be meaningful to animals like squirrels and rabbits.

I went hunting with a bow hung on my back.

and two hours later,

After achieving the result of two squirrel corpses, I found Yenika in ‘Merylda’s Guardian Tree’.

Sylvania Academy’s current sophomore head, the youngest talented spirit magician who signed a contract with the high-ranking evil spirit Takan.

Later, under the control of the high-ranking dark spirit Velosper, it took over the entire student union building and summoned the right hand of the highest-ranking dark spirit, Glaskan.

He was the final boss in Act 1 of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’.

I have no ambitions, I just want to graduate. That’s my policy.

Actually, I am not without romance.

It’s not that I don’t want to become the hero of this world, and walk the path of a glorious hero with the praise of everyone.

However, the path a hero walks is usually a thorny path.

They are praised for a reason. It is because they are quietly moving along the thorny road where blood flows, like a flower road.

The same goes for ‘Tailey’, the protagonist of this world who doesn’t know where or what he is doing yet.

Having played countless times as Taylor, I know it well.

A total of 5 acts and 43 chapters, a scenario like an epic. The ordeal that the main character, Taylor, will go through in it is something that the criminal’s mind cannot endure.

What awaits at the end of the youthful and romantic academy life is the countless pains of death and formidable and overwhelming enemies.

In particular, starting from the last semester, the scale of the ordeal rapidly increases, constantly threatening and pressuring Taylor’s life.

The pleasure and triumph of overcoming must be sweet, but I don’t want to go through so many trials. Above all, there is no big reward waiting for you to endure the ordeal.

honor and glory. They’re valuable enough, but they’re absolutely not something you can get for free. Rather, there are overwhelmingly many things to sacrifice in the process.

Even though I know that the road ahead is a thorny road, there is no way I could do such a stupid thing to walk straight into it.

So that’s the conclusion.

Whatever it is, let’s follow the ‘faith’.

I’m just following the scenario of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’ that I know. Well, after all the trials and tribulations, Taylor, who has become strong, will take care of all the crises and solve them all.

I’m just good, I’m good, I applaud you, and let’s go in the direction of getting a diploma or something while taking care of my profits.

Above all, I am one year older than Taylor.

The scenario of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’ gets more and more intense around the time Taylor is in her final year of graduating. This is the climax of the scenario.

It is the season when all kinds of forces outside the school are mobilizing, threatening the students, the atmosphere becomes bleak, and various trials come upon the students.

Just the year before that season, I just need to get my diploma and go.

It is a strategy to suck up all the honey, leave all the difficult things to the main character, and go find my own life.

Isn’t the picture so pretty?

So, this is the situation right now.

One of the most important characters in the scenario, and the person who will be the first person to face the ordeal that will strike Taylor. Yenica Palerover.

Don’t worry about it, let’s go my own way.

That is a reasonable course of action.

It was the moment when I made that conclusion and left.

“Oh my, are you the ‘fun friend’ Merylda said?”

Yenika, who suddenly opened her eyes, spoke to me.

In life, things rarely go the way I intended.

“This forest is completely Merylda’s territory. It’s not like a high-ranking spirit, it’s because I have a dry mouth.”

A girl who calls the name of an old high-ranking wind spirit that guarded this forest even before the Sylvania Academy was built, like a friend of mine.

The rich, pale pink hair was brushed down well, and in the meantime, both sides of the hair were neatly braided, giving a warm impression.

He was dressed in a red overcoat, a royal blue skirt, and the standard uniform of the Sylvania Academy, but it was still a bit cold, so he was wrapped around his shoulders with a fluffy shawl.

There were a couple of magic books spread out around the tree where he was leaning and reading. It seems that he was reading while surrounded by trees in the forest.

“I’m just returning to the dormitory after vacation, and I don’t know what else to say… I’m revered a lot as a high-ranking spirit and so on, but when I don’t have someone to talk to, I feel lonely. I didn’t know how I would have lived because I was bored during vacation.”

They smiled and chattered, but from my point of view, they were just endlessly troubled.

Because I didn’t want to get involved.

As for Princess Penia’s case, it would have been reasonable to try to do anything because it was a matter directly related to my treatment, but this time it is a completely different story.

“If you don’t have someone to talk to, it’s probably the same no matter who you are.”

A round smile. He has a warm and gentle impression, and is therefore the main culprit in shocking players in the beginning.

The image of her, a reliable and warm second-year senior, sealing and occupying the student center with the Glaskan curse seal engraved all over her body.

A being who slaps the back of a player who is just starting to adapt to the laws of this world.

In fact, it is an episode that is the starting point of being completely immersed in the story. I also had a squeal coming out of my mouth.

therefore.

Why are you talking to me?

That’s the cause, he said.

“You say you live in this forest? After being excommunicated?”

“Did the owner of this forest tell you?”

“Merylda is a bit wide. You love this forest.”

With a smile on your face, it seems like flowers in full bloom are flying around you. He was a person who seemed to have all the worries of the world.

It was only from my point of view that I felt very uncomfortable with the sense of disparity from the way they occupied the student center.

“I like this forest so much, don’t you know one uninvited guest?”

“Umm…”

I cared about the two squirrel corpses hanging behind my back. We also cut down quite a few trees.

“Don’t worry about anything. It’s nature’s providence that creatures living in the forest catch and eat each other. Would Merylda just be uncomfortable with that?”

“Even a gigantic wolf that is so sloppy seems to have a soft heart.”

“Aren’t you surprised? Ahaha.”

From noblemtl.com

Merylda, who guards the forest, is a high-ranking wind spirit in the form of a giant wolf. I don’t usually show up in front of humans, but I remember that I was more generous than I thought.

It’s not unusual for me to leave my camp, hunting or gathering, so far.

“My impression has changed a lot. Umm… Last semester, Ed, you… We didn’t talk much, but somehow… His voice was a little more hoarse!! I felt like that, but it got a little serious. Image change?”

“It’s roughly like that.”

“Ahaha. So do I. The Ophelis maid braided her hair on both sides. how is it? You look more like a tomboy?”

I can’t tell you how I feel when I curl my hair and ask what it’s like.

I want to applaud the friendliness of the Ed Roth Taylor, who is reputed to be an unlucky guy in the world, for continuing the story so well, but,

Knowing the future of this girl, it is impossible to accept it with a cheerful smile.

Well, anyway, if you want to keep your distance, that’s the easy way.

I know of such a magical incantation that, no matter how natural a person with a heavenly personality, swallows saliva and casts a suspicious look.

“Jenica. It’s a coincidence that we met like this the day before school started, can I ask you a favor?”

“Request?”

“I’m in a bit of a hurry these days, so I’m looking for a place to borrow.”

He spit out that magic spell naturally.

“Would you like a warranty?”
