278. Personality Controversy (2)
From the first day of school, the school was in an uproar.
I could figure out what the situation was like as soon as I entered the school.
-I am accusing Erica von der Lichtenburg, a sophomore at the Imperial University.
“hahahaha…”
In addition to the posters, papers were sticking to the walls here and there.
The contents were all the same.
It was to accuse Erica’s personality.
“What kind of grudge did you get…”
So dumbfounded, she looked at the long text for a while.
The article accused was as follows.
Erika often speaks with contempt for lower nobles and commoners.
Erika runs small errands for students from the Lichtenburg branch, but does not pay a fair price.
Erica makes more than half of the refreshments provided in her dorm by herself and so on ······.
Somehow, there were some things that were a little far-fetched, but some of them were definitely accusations.
Erika shouldn’t be a little cheap.
-I therefore demand the expulsion of Erica von der Lichtenburg. Posted by Celine von Festia.
The following was written at the end of the complaint.
Celine von Festia.
It must have been one of the classmates from the collateral who helped Erica.
She wondered what the hell had Erica done if he betrayed her.
“Well, Erica must have done something wrong…”
“·······?”
As soon as she was about to turn around, she found the back of her head on the other side of the wall, tearing open her accusation sheet and keeping an eye on her surroundings.
She turned her head while wondering if anyone was there, and her eyes met mine.
It was Erica.
With the crumpled indictment in her arms, Erica froze in place, as if she had been discovered at the crime scene.
“Oh, no! You shouldn’t put this on a non-poster, right? That’s why I’m removing it to beautify the environment!”
“Eolssigu. Since when did you care so much about the aesthetics of the school?”
“This, this… Have you read it…?”
“I read it. What the hell did you do to Celine?”
“I didn’t do anything! Really!”
Erica groaned at her in an unfair way.
Did she ever find out what was wrong with him ······.
When Erica suddenly started to cry, I could feel her eyes slowly shifting around her.
She brought Erica to her boarding house.
The moment the door slammed open, I could see Emilia failing to control her expression, but she luckily didn’t notice, as Erica had her head down in her depression.
She still has a lot of time until class.
If there’s a blank in her timetable, she’ll just squeeze in. Erica might have one class but she doesn’t.
“So. What’s going on? Be specific.”
“Anyi…”
Erica, who had been crying for a long time, stopped crying after Emilia served her cookies and began to mumble as she ate a lot.
“I don’t know. Festia, it’s been strange lately. It’s been a while since they started quarreling with our family over trivial matters.”
“Wasn’t that your descendant?”
“That’s right. They followed it well in the past, but after gulp down a gold mine, they changed their stance. Originally, instead of handing over ownership of the gold mine, they promised to allow private soldiers from Lichtenburg to be stationed in Festia’s territory in case of emergency. It was.”
“While it was still a verbal contract, did Festia unilaterally cancel it?”
“Yeah. I couldn’t imagine that Festia would suddenly betray me, so the family is in an uproar right now.”
Anyway, it wasn’t Erica’s fault.
Erika’s personality accusation seemed to be one of Festia’s numerous attacks.
hahahahahoho Festia, who normally gets along well, suddenly stabs Lichtenburg with a knife.
You wouldn’t be so stupid as to not know that it’s a battle you can never win.
Something smelled bad.
“Hmm. It’s definitely a big deal.”
“By the way, Emile…Why is the attendant there?”
Erica looked at me and then at her over my shoulder, puzzled.
I thought her shoulders were somehow heavy, but before I knew it, Emilia was leaning behind me with her chin resting on her shoulder.
“Is something wrong?”
“No, problem? If it’s a problem… It doesn’t seem like there is one…”
From Noble mtl dot com
“That’s all right.”
“Uh, uh, um… Is that so?”
Kok.
Emilia’s arms hugged me tightly as if strangling me.
Fortress is always like this.
If only a woman was brought into the house, he would forget his duty as an attendant and come close to him as if to show off.
I did a lot of wrong to Emilia, so she couldn’t bear to ask her to stop, and she had no choice but to remain silent.
“This, obviously, wasn’t something Festia did alone. Someone instigated it. A bigger blackface…”
“You must be embarrassed. Fighting. Cheer up.”
“Wait a minute! Can you help me?”
“What can I help you with? It’s your family quarrel.”
“No, no… My, if I lose my mind, isn’t it a loss to you too? I’m a genius barrier magician, but I…”
As I tried to get up, Erica jumped in and grabbed her hand.
And then again weeping and pleading.
To say that he is a genius barrier magician himself…
A truly admirable level of self-love.
“It’s no big deal just by looking at it.”
“No big deal! Looks like I’m getting expelled!”
“You won’t get expelled. Do you think the professors don’t know that you’re being mean? You’ve known everything and left it alone. Don’t worry, you won’t get a suspension, let alone an expulsion, for accusations like that.”
“Huh, huh? Really?”
“Yeah. Everyone knows you didn’t eat your meal.”
“It’s fortunate…”
Erika let go of my hand with a relieved smile.
There will be no problem with the expulsion, and Mrs. Lichtenburg will take care of the problem of confrontation with Festia.
Thought so, I sent Erika away for now.
*
-Erica von der Lichtenburg. 14-Day suspension.
“Huh?”
The next day.
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment when I received the official letter and opened it.
Erika was suspended.
Two weeks is quite strong.
Her head hurt just from imagining Erica whining, so she went to find Ludwig first.
“What is this? A noble person is in a shabby professor’s lab.”
“Head Professor. I came because I have something I want to ask you.”
“Let’s hear it. I heard that even the Emperor used plain language. Since when did I become more noble than Your Majesty?”
“This is an educational institution, and I am a student. What I want to ask is-“
“I’m sure you came to ask me to revoke your girlfriend’s suspension. I’m going to decline it in advance. I’m sorry, but the suspension cannot be revoked in any way.”
“·······.”
I didn’t even mention her, and she got hit in the head.
I sighed and pulled a chair in front of Ludwig’s desk and sat down.
“I don’t remember telling you to sit down.”
“You didn’t even ask me to stand. Head Professor. I didn’t come here to ask you to revoke my suspension. Actually, I think it’s a pity.”
“What…?”
“It looks good. Isn’t there nothing better to look at than the face of a woman who lived for her pride, thinking that there was nothing above her head, crying in frustration and her bright tears.”
“Schlus Heinkel. Sometimes I get scared because I don’t understand you. Now is the time…”
Ludwig’s eyes were trembling.
I wonder if I feel the power of my demon and am under pressure.
I thought that a wizard like Ludwig could do that.
“I just want to see the outcome of the committee’s decision.”
“It’s impossible. As you said, I’m not a student here. I can’t show you the documents inside.”
“Head professor. You have to know how to compromise sometimes.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Threats. I looked through the things that the head professor was researching in the past. It seems that he studied the nature of the elixir, but he didn’t publish any papers related to it? It seems that the supply of the elixir has failed. The nature of the elixir. It is a study on… I believe that if it is completed, it will surely make a great contribution to mankind.”
“Do you intend to bribe me with nothing more than an elixir? How much do you underestimate Bermanstein-“
“I’ll give you 3 elixirs.”
“·······.”
Ludwig’s face contorted.
He glared at me for a moment and then-
“Compromise. Sometimes it seems worth it.”
“Good idea.”
He held out his right hand to me.
I took that hand and shook it vigorously.
I thought that Ludwig had changed a lot too.
I never would have taken a bribe before.
Three bottles of elixir.
Of course, it wasn’t with me right now.
But I never said that I would pay immediately.
In the first place, Ludwig wouldn’t have expected to be able to receive all of those enormous items at once.
I decided to get the Elixir slowly.
You can ask Aria to get a bottle or two, collect store coins, and buy a bottle.
“Don’t worry too much. I’ll properly incinerate it once I see it.”
“·······I will believe it.”
I accepted the document Ludwig took out of the safe.
Results of the Disposition Decision Committee’s decision on Erica von der Lichtenburg.
It was a document dated just yesterday.
I lightly greeted Ludwig and left the lab with the document.
“Let’s see…”
Three bottles of elixir.
Looking back on it, it was a big blood loss.
I believed that there would be enough information in this to risk that much bleeding.
It was a moment when I was scrolling through the boring minutes of the meeting.
“I found it.”
I found something.
-Erica von der Lichtenburg broke the oath of the wizard and cast a large-scale spell in the civil war in the south. Suspicion that she acted as a magician rather than a simple volunteer army was raised in the accusation of Celine von Festia. It is difficult to ascertain the facts.
Now the mystery is solved.
All of the posters and walls that accused Erica of her personality were fakes.
A more deadly blade was hidden in the real accusation submitted to the school.
No matter how much a dog or a cow disregards the oath of a wizard, it is unavoidable to be ostracized from the magical academy if the violation is discovered.
For Erica, it would be fatal for her to be kicked out of academia.
Anyway, it seemed that the school took that into consideration as well.
If this suspicion leaks out and reaches the Society, the investigation will proceed, and the fact that Erica broke the mage’s oath in the Civil War in the South will soon be exposed.
So, the Imperial University decided to cover up her case by suspending Erica on the pretext that it was difficult to verify her facts.
But the real problem was different.
“How did Celine know that?”
Few people know that it was Erica who cast that huge spell in the south.
Then how did Celine figure this out…?
I got good information.
I think I paid enough for three bottles of elixir.
I left, burning all the documents and throwing them away.
