180 – Scene 180# Let me show you something
*
It was finally next week.
I have spent most of my time reading books in the University Library, The Wall of Truth.
It wasn’t that I suddenly opened my eyes to noble hobbies.
As the chairman of the board of a prestigious university, he felt the need for knowledge, so he decided to cram, albeit belatedly.
I randomly read magic books in the library.
The history of magic, the structure and application of magic formulas, etc. were injected into his head using ‘greed’.
So far, the magical knowledge that I had only vaguely known through the setting began to be understood more and more clearly.
Of course, it was impossible to acquire all of the vast amount of knowledge to fill the library’s shelves in a matter of days.
Both are sheep, but no matter how much I have ‘patience’ that can stop the runaway of ‘greed’, there are definitely limits. I read the book, paying special attention so that my personality would not be eroded by my personality.
As a result of coveting knowledge day and night, I was able to become at least to the level of ‘pretending’ to be an expert.
The reason I did this was simple.
“Count. Arrived.”
When I got off the carriage through the door Helga had opened, what greeted me was a large banner announcing an academic festival.
The academic festival of the prestigious Meikahel University is a place where professors present their research results once a year and are evaluated.
Originally, I was to participate in the evaluation of faculty research led by the president, Mondry.

Due to my position as the chairman, it didn’t matter if I stayed behind, but my personality didn’t allow me to do that.
In addition, if there is a study with potential in an academic festival, I needed an eye to know about it.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Normally, there would have been students everywhere, but today, those who came from the school gate to participate in the academic festival took their place.
A group of people dressed in cloaks equivalent to a university professor’s uniform, and aristocrats who looked like members of the imperial family.
And among them were faces I knew.
“Long time no see. Count Ruelberta.”
An elderly man recognized me and greeted me first. It was Odel Ryumin, the head of the Ryumin family and the country’s prime minister.
“Ah, I guess I should call you the chairman here. Maybe it’s because it’s not common for a young chairman like a count, so I don’t like it.”
“Does not matter. Either way.”
“Then I’ll just call him Count.”
It is said that the finances of the Ruelberta family went into the university, but this school is a national university operated by the country. The imperial family also had the right to be involved in this event. And Odell came as the representative of the imperial family.
I knew he was coming, but next to him was a guest I didn’t expect.
“… nice to meet you Chairman.”
“Well.”
A young woman in an oriental blue dress bowed politely to me.
It was Odell’s only daughter, Shia Ryumin.
“I brought it today with the intention of being guided by my daughter, who is a student at this school. It’s because I’m getting older, so my eyes are so dark.”
“Right.”
“But do you know that Count? My daughter won first place in the exam this time.”
“Ah… Father?”
Sia looked up at Odell, startled.
Either way, Odell told me proudly.
“Oh, I’m not saying that because it’s my daughter. I’m just stating the facts Let’s say that this child is the best of the best who has not missed first place since he was a child. Seeing that he proudly ranked first in the exam after coming to college, it would not be enough to call him a genius of the century.”
“green onion… . no, father Until there… .”
“Today’s inspection of the academic festival is partly because His Majesty requested it, but I intend to be stricter than ever. Wouldn’t it be absurd to say that people worse off than my daughter are teaching my daughter? Those who do not have the capacity to teach our daughter do not deserve to be in this school. Not cancer.”
“father! What are you talking about?!”
“To agree.”
“Chairman?!”
I don’t know the previous words, but I agreed with Odell’s last words.
They are the ones who pay with my own money, but it’s difficult when they can’t even pay for their meals.
Odell and I had a long-awaited agreement, and we talked about various things. Sia kept her head down the whole time, probably because of Odell, who boasted about herself whenever she had a chance.
And soon after, Odell moved with the imperial family officials.
Suddenly, I noticed that Helga, who was next to me, was making a strange face.
“Hello.”
“Ah yes. Count.”
“What were you doing?”
“uh… . Something smells strange.”
White petals were blowing in the wind, probably because the full bloom day was approaching.
Each time, the smell of burning incense tickled my nostrils.
“Is this the smell of flowers?”
“yes. It is said to be a flower that only blooms for one week out of the year. The festival will be held from tomorrow, so many people will come to see it.”
“okay… . It must be prettier during the festival.”
Helga was looking at the petals with a sentimental expression.
I asked her implicitly.
“I thought you weren’t interested in the festival.”
“that’s right. Not only at festivals, but in places with a lot of people, there are many things to take care of to protect the Count, and it’s too noisy… .”
Certainly Helga had this kind of personality.
Because I only thought of myself as the center of everything, not myself.
“But isn’t that the same for the Count? Even the Count doesn’t like crowded places. hehehe… .”
“yes.”
As Helga said, I didn’t really like places with so many people.
In particular, after possessing as Tristan, there were things I hated even more because I was always stared at.
But Helga might not be like that.
Because he has an excited face watching the scattering petals.
I picked up a petal from Helga’s collar and casually handed it to her.
“Then, if it’s a festival with not many people, you might like it.”
“Nope. It doesn’t matter if there are more or less people.”
“… ?”
Helga smiled softly as she accepted the petals.
“To me, every day with the Count is a festival, so it’s okay.”
“… … is it.”
“yes.”
Helga responded cutely and put the petals in her pocket.
Looking at it, I was also going to go to the place where Mondry is now.
But a group of people approached me as if they had been waiting.
“Chairman. You are here!”
“… What happened?”
It was none other than the professors participating in the academic festival this time. I can’t remember the name, but… .
“Do you remember me? This is Professor Zeon Viperle, who was in charge of magic mechanics. These are the associate professors Philip and Simon.”
“… yes.”
I guess it was just that name.
“I haven’t had a chance to see you because I haven’t been in the office lately. Did you see the letter I left you?”
“… letter? I didn’t see it.”
Perhaps Helga had sorted it out with the love letter.
“Ah, I’m so glad. I didn’t get a reply, so I was worried that the chairman was ignoring me. I am so glad to see you even now!”
Professor Xeon, who was wiping away sweat, and the assistant professors behind him all took a low profile towards me.
Rather, it seemed to me that I knew what they wanted to say to me.
But I pretended not to know and asked them.
“So what do you want to say to me?”
“Ah, it’s nothing else, because the permanent magic system through magical interaction that we prepared for this academic festival has not yet reached a level that can be disclosed… .”
“You mean you can’t reveal it?”
“hahahaha… . We feel like we want to reveal it, but it seems a bit difficult because it is a project that takes a lot of time and budget.”
In short, they are asking to be deducted from the evaluation.
Indeed, they were shameless, but they also had a corner to believe.
“I am sure that once this project is completed, Meikahel University will be in an untouchable position. The former chairman also recognized the true value of our project, so he has exempted us from the evaluation of the academic festival.”
For a moment, did Arthur really do that? I had doubts about it, but there was no such thing.
Because Arthur was in charge of other businesses besides college, he couldn’t pay attention to the details of running the school.
Perhaps this person explained the situation quite plausibly in a letter to Arthur, who had no knowledge of magic, and asked for an exemption.
I decided to try him once.
“Then why are you talking to me and not to Chancellor Mondry?”
“Of course, Mr. Mondri is also an excellent person, but we judged that the director’s eyes were a bit more accurate… . Ahahahaha.”
Well, it must be because if you tell Mondry, it will be exposed… .
“In addition, aren’t the Vipearl and Ruelberta families different from each other? I thought that if it was possible, I would understand the situation only when I talked to people who knew me well.”
“… Aren’t you South-South?”
no. Hopefully then… ?
“Did you forget? Aren’t we 10 cousins? ha ha ha.”
It was south-south.
You were surprised. this child.
Enduring the fever, I spoke to Professor Xeon.
“So you’re saying you didn’t prepare anything today?”
“Yes? yes… . I’ve prepared something, but I’m too embarrassed to show it to you… . hahahaha.”
“Good luck, then. You came to me before the academic festival started like this. You do not have to participate in the ‘special’ academic festival.”
“Go, thank you!”
“I think I should rather thank you. I don’t have to mix words with worms like you anymore.”
“a. The Chairman needs to thank… . Yes? borough… ji? I’m sure it’ll go away now… ?”
“yes.”
I looked down at them with ‘arrogant’ eyes.
They were truly pathetic writers.
Xeon’s face was wrinkled like a rotten apple. It was a good thing he didn’t say anything tinged with anger in spite of my outright insults.
“You are talking too much… !”
“Is it too much? Aren’t you the ones who have gone too far and spent money on such research for years?”
“This is because the chairman doesn’t know how much possibility there is of a permanent spell through magical interaction! If this really works… !”
“In that case, I can explain it in front of Mondri and the imperial family officials at the academic festival. They will appreciate your research.”
“… !”
Seeing my determined attitude, Xeon seemed to be desperately looking for something to say.
“They won’t understand! If the chairman doesn’t recognize it, we’ll-“
“Then how do you plan to deal with the loss of magic power?”
“Yes?”
“You said that your research was definitely a permanent spell. If so, I asked how to deal with the magical energy lost when flowing through the magic formula.”
“uh… . that, that… . Ah, Philip! Simon! What are you doing without quickly explaining to the chairman!”
“Yes? professor?”
“Didn’t you guys prepare the details? Come on, let me explain.”
“Well, we thought Professor Xeon prepared everything.”
“These stupid things… ! Still, you guys are associate professors!”
As if they hadn’t expected my question, the three of them were holding off on answering each other.
There was also the virtue of the knowledge learned in the library, but the permanent magic that Zeon researched was not unfamiliar to me.
Because that formula had already been completed by Albert Groble, the master of the workshop.
I spoke in a cold voice to those who were bickering.
“Haven’t you solved that yet?”
“that is… Just give me some time!”
“Time has already been given. The only time left for you guys is today’s academic festival.”
“But today I have something to show you… .”
“If you don’t have it, try to make a fuss like a bug. I’ll be happy to see you.”
At the last word, I turned away from them.
“My point is that it ends here. If you have anything more to say, speak through my escort.”
“Hey, Chairman… !”
“wait a minute! Please wait a moment!”
“Uh huh.”
It was Helga’s voice that interrupted their urgent voice.
“It seems that professors are too low-intelligence to understand the Count’s words.”
“What, what?!”
“Hmm. Listen carefully. From now on, I will explain the Count’s words in an easy-to-understand manner even to monkeys like you.”
Helga spoke solemnly and earnestly, as if mimicking my vocal cords.
“Bugs. Participate in academic festivals. If you don’t have anything to show, at least show your shit. I’ll be happy to see you.”
no. I didn’t say that.
