33 – Dispute 7
“We’ll take care of it within a week, so don’t worry, everyone.”
When I spoke with a confident voice, the special class students looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“Fool, how do you plan to handle it within a week?”
The first to speak after my words ended was Sepia.
She approached me with the spirits on her shoulders.
The spirits on Sepia’s shoulders discovered me and clung to me.
Yeah, yeah. You guys recognize handsome people too, huh?
“Sepia, anyone who talks about the upcoming show in advance is a third-rate clown.”
I said while patting the spirit clinging to me.
Each elemental spirit had a different texture.
“Third-rate clowns don’t say anything before the show begins.”

The fire was warm, and the water felt soft.
The wind had a tingling sensation, and the ground was rough.
“Top-notch performers only leak a tiny bit of information to build anticipation before the show for the audience.”
The sensations were all different, but all pleasant, so I kept stroking the spirit without stopping.
I decided to give a little gift to the spirit that gave me such a good sensation.
“Of course, I am a top-notch performer.”
Snap.
The sound of my fingers flicking reverberated cheerfully, and the illusion I created unfolded in the special classroom.
“Wow.”
The students in the special class, half anticipating and half worried, all gasped in amazement when they saw the illusion I created.
If I were to express the illusion I created in the classroom in words.
“It’s like being in the middle of a forest.”
Nature.
The classroom, with only desks and chairs, was covered with flowers and trees because of the illusion I created.
It felt like being in the middle of a forest, not in a classroom.
Chirp chirp chirp.
Birds were flying and chirping in the air, and a stream was flowing in the corner.
Of course, they were all fake illusions I created, but unless touched, they didn’t feel fake.
“How is it? Even though I haven’t been to the spirit world myself, isn’t this close enough?”
Among the beings in the special class, the spirit showed the most intense reaction.
The spirit initially approached the illusion that appeared abruptly with caution, but soon realized it was safe, and began to explore the classroom.
Other students also absentmindedly admired the nature I created.
“From now on, don’t worry and simply enjoy the show I present just like you are now.”
Suddenly.
“It’s an amazing magic, but we need to start the class, so please clear the way.”
Professor Elysia opened the door and entered, speaking.
“Oh, it’s already time to start the class. It’s a shame, but today’s show ends here.”
I flicked my finger once again, and the nature I created disappeared.
The spirit, who had been enjoying the nature I created, suddenly rushed towards Professor Elysia, the cause of the nature’s disappearance.
Of course, as it rushed, it got scared of Professor Elysia and hid behind me.
Thump. Thump.
Professor Elysia was casually stretching her body.
“Why is everyone just standing there? Attack all at once.”
Can such a sound come out when a person stretches?
‘Oh, right, she’s a dragon.’
The students prepared to fight in their own ways.
Lucas held a spear and took a posture to attack directly, while Clara had already begun her archery.
Kuran had already rushed at Professor Elysia, and the sorcerer, unlike last time, cursed Professor Elysia without me having to say anything.
The spirit of Sephia, unlike last time when it didn’t listen to Sephia’s words, this time, listened to Sephia’s words.
I also took out a needle from the inventory.
“Alright, then, what kind of trap should we set today?”
.
.
.
All the students from the special class were spread out in the classroom right now.
“Hmm, everyone seems to have gotten stronger than yesterday. You can go have lunch in an hour.”
Professor Elysia left the classroom after leaving a message for the students.
“Ugh.”

After Professor Elysia left, only the sound of music could be heard in the special class.
After some time passed, the students spent the remaining time until lunch in their own ways.
Sophia was having a conversation with the spirits, and Clara was quietly reading a book.
I was having a simple conversation with Lucas.
“So, there’s nothing I can help with, right?”
“Yes, there’s nothing for you to help with, Lu… “
At first, I thought Lucas wouldn’t be able to help, but suddenly a good idea popped into my head.
“Rocky?”
I pondered for a moment.
The dilemma was short, and the decision had been made, so all that remained was to put it into action.
“Lucas, could you do me a very simple favor then?”
“If it’s a simple favor, I’ll do it. What do you need?”
“You just need to deliver the item.”
“Just deliver the item. That’s it?”
“Yes, just deliver the item before lunch.”
When Lucas heard that all he had to do was deliver the item, he seemed a little disappointed. Did they expect me to do something fun?
“Well, that’s not too difficult. But why do I have to do it?”
“It’s meaningful for Mr. Lucas to deliver it.”
After finishing the conversation with Lucas, I approached the sorcerer this time.
“Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor?”
“W-What favor?”
I stated what I wanted, and although the sorcerer didn’t understand why I made such a request, he agreed to it.

The prince of the Arshen Kingdom, Rofri Alpser, whom Loki referred to as a “buffoon,” and his subordinates were currently furious.
After being humiliated by Joden and Yohanna in the cafeteria yesterday, Rofri gave an order to the students of the Arshen Kingdom.
The order was simple: harass the masked guy.
In reality, it was Joden and Yohanna who had humiliated him, but since he didn’t dare to touch them, he tried to harass the guy who had been so audacious towards him.
But all his attempts failed.
For some reason, the first-year students who had taken classes with the guy seemed to be afraid of him.
“What’s so frightening about that guy.”
Even students other than first-years received orders, but they never had a single conversation with that kid.
“Well, every time they try to talk to that kid, they end up chatting with the professor and leaving? They should make some sense.”
Rofley waited this morning to catch the kid himself, but in the end, he couldn’t.
“Your Highness, is that guy coming this way?”
Rofley and his subordinates were on their way to the cafeteria.
“To eat in the cafeteria, they have to come here.”
At best, they’re just lowly commoners. Rofley didn’t like that Johanna, whom he favored, showed interest in that kid.
“Isn’t that him over there?”
Rofley looked in the direction his subordinate pointed with his finger.
There was one person there.
Although it wasn’t clear as the robe was turned inside out, the mask on his face was visible as well as ever.
“Let’s go.”
‘Won’t let him cause a scene in the academy again.’
Approaching the masked kid, Rofley ordered his big subordinate.
The big subordinate approached the kid and bumped shoulders. He thought the masked kid would be pushed awkwardly, but it was his own subordinate who was pushed back.
“Useless guy.”
Rofley received a cup with a drink from his subordinate.
“Hey.”
Holding the cup with the drink, he approached the masked kid and splashed it on him.
“I told you, I’ll make your academy life enjoyable.”
I tapped the shoulder of the person wearing a mask. It suited them well, unable to say a word like a mute.
“Why don’t you speak confidently like you did back then! Are you scared because there’s no one to protect you this time?”
“· · · · · ·”
Even after pouring a drink over themselves, the masked person still couldn’t say a word. It was natural. They were a prince, and this one was just a lowly commoner.
“What are you all doing over there?”
I turned around at the sudden voice, unable to comprehend the situation in front of my eyes.
Academy uniform, red cloak, and a white mask—the person who had insulted me was right there.
Next to them was the head of the Academy newspaper club.
‘What’s up with this person?’
I looked at the person soaked in the drink without saying a word.
“Lucas, why are you just standing there like that?”
I deliberately called out Lucas’ name and approached him.
As soon as the name Lucas was heard, the lackeys trembled.
There was only one person with the name Lucas at the Academy.
“I don’t understand why I’m in this state either.”
A cold voice came from Lucas’ lips. I first took off his wet robe.
A golden hair symbolizing nobility was revealed. It didn’t get completely wet because of the robe, but it was still damp from the drink.
‘I should apologize and give him a high-quality weapon as a gift later.’
“Roki, you gave me a mask to wear, but it still feels uncomfortable.”
“Really? Just in case, I made one as a backup. It seems like it’s still not enough.”
Loki took out a towel and handed it to Lucas. With the towel wrapped around his head, Lucas looked at Ropri.
“Prince Ropri, I don’t know when you said that you enjoyed academy life, but thanks to you, it’s not boring.”
“N-no, it’s not like that. There’s a misunderstanding…”
Just because a prince of the kingdom touches a commoner, the academy doesn’t become noisy.
But what if the prince of the kingdom touches the prince of the empire?
The head of the newspaper department was watching all of this.
.
.
.
Before the end of lunchtime, a notice was posted on the academy bulletin board.
[Prince of Arshen Kingdom, even spraying drinks and making insulting remarks to the prince of the empire!]
Hahaha. Nice prank
