152. School closure period (1)
“Priest Kelly has been hospitalized due to injuries. Therefore, I, Katherine Elune, will be in charge of the Sacred Combat Department 2nd Year B class for the time being.”
Classroom B on the 2nd floor of the Sacred Combat Division building. In the middle of the Divine Combat Department, Class 2nd Year B class members gathered there, Catherine said that on the podium.
In fact, when Catherine joined Philea Academy as a professor, she was scheduled to become a professor of religious studies. Even now she occasionally holds lectures on religious studies as a liberal arts class. However, because she felt it was a waste of letting Catherine, who had magical skills, be her religious studies professor, somehow she felt that she was now working as a professor of elemental studies.
The saying that you will not know what life is like even if you know it is a perfect fit. I think if you know how to do a lot, you can become like this.
Probably will continue to work in the Magic Combat Department building and retire someday.
There were times when I thought that, but things in the world are unpredictable. She could not have imagined that there would be a victim among the professors of the divine class, and that she would make up for it herself.
‘… I have a class I’m in charge of.’
She is in charge of Magic Combat Department 1st year B Class. So, after this meeting is over, I have to go back to the Magic Combat Department building and summon the 1st year B class students.
After all, taking on two halves is daunting. I hope Priest Kelly returns soon.
With that thought in mind, Catherine proceeds with her inquiry.
“As you all have heard, all lectures have been replaced with assignments for two months. One assignment is presented for each subject, and the assignment replaces the attendance score, performance evaluation, and midterm exam. In other words, one assignment With a large amount of points at stake—”
As Catherine explained the situation, she tried to read the mood among the students. It was also her old habit of Catherine’s.
As much as she is facing the professor, everyone keeps silent and seems to be watching this side…… There is an atmosphere that seems to pierce the air.
Tight yet tingling feeling.
It feels like murderous intent and malice are floating around the classroom as molecules.
At the end of the students’ eyes, there is one student with his head down.
“…….”
A girl with a ponytail and a healthy appearance. It looks like a lively image, but…… Today’s girl looks down with a blank face.
Her unapproachable sullenness lingered there, and I could see the despair she could not shake off weighing on her shoulders.
Benit Findelnerka.
‘… Did I get pushed out of the political battle after all?’
It is the same as human nature. When something happens, you need someone to blame, and if there is no one, you even create it.
It’s no different from being a noble. Perhaps the nobles were even uglier than the commoners.
Not only is the justification weak to point out that the academy was at fault for this incident, but the academy resigned anyway, paying compensation in bulk.
Are you the student knights with Jaykawa who brought the infection? Or was it Benit who guided me to the dungeon? Which one will you make a curse on…… In fact, it was decided from the beginning.
Jaykawa and the student knights are almost all dead, and even if they want to pour out their hostility, they can’t say anything to someone who isn’t in this world.
Moreover, about half of them are from aristocrats. Among them, there are noble families who are high-ranking nobles or have connections with high-ranking nobles.
Count Findel Nerca, a nobleman from the outskirts, was not an opponent that he could stand against, so in the end, due to the difference in strength, Count Findel Nerca was literally stigmatized.
It’s hard to punish Bennett, but he’s probably been bullied.
In aristocratic society, Count Findel Nerca’s family will use their hands so that they cannot use their strength in the slightest, and that is why Count Findel Nerca’s family will not be able to occupy important positions and it will be difficult for them to pass on their generations.
The downfall of Count Findelnerca was already decided.
A two-month school closure suddenly met. Among them, many students chose to return home, and the number of people on the floating island was significantly reduced.
It is said that the apocalypse event has come to an end, but it is the area where the infection occurred anyway. There is a reluctance to remain on the floating island as it is.
In addition to that, the fact that there was a quarantine period of almost two weeks is probably one reason.
“Is Ariel going to stay on the floating island?”
“Yes.”
I nodded at Claire’s question.
“I see. I think I’ll have to go back at least once. I think my dad is worried.”
“That’s right. Have a good trip.”
“So maybe a week…Or two weeks? I don’t think I’ll be able to see my face for quite some time. Even the nobles are in a frenzy~”
It seemed that various information and discussions about this incident were going back and forth among the nobles. So there are tea parties here and there, Claire said.
No matter how good Claire is at negotiating, politicking, and swindling, he is powerless without information.
So, Claire said that for the time being, he will attend meetings with various nobles, and then return home for a while.
So Claire temporarily leaves,
“I don’t think you’ll be able to study.”
Erra also left.
“I have to go to the clan. Master is calling me.”
“Is that so?”
Should I say that’s unexpected, or should I say it’s natural?
Actually, I don’t know much about Erea’s movements at this time. It’s like she pops up throughout the game and then she disappears all of a sudden.
Since there is a high-level technology called warp gate in this world anyway, it wouldn’t be too strange if Erua left for the clan today and suddenly came back tomorrow morning.
She’s an unpredictable person from the beginning, so if you think about it, she doesn’t seem strange.
“Then let’s go.”
Er Ah left such a greeting and left.
And she unexpectedly said that Marie would also be away for a while.
“You’re going to Count Ruhelif?”
“Uh, yes… Grandpa is worried…”
Marie said that with her hesitant face.
“Are you okay? Wasn’t it hard to go back because of the phoenix?”
“I-I do… I think my younger brother is afraid of me because I am like this… But, my sister says she will go with me.”
“Rose?”
“Ugh, yes…”
Marie nodded her head.
“Uh, uh, I’ll come back with only her face on… Uh, I’ll be back soon… Uh, my sister will go with me, no, no problem…”
“If Rose goes with you, she’ll be relieved. All right. Have a good day.”
“Yes…”
That’s how even Marie left.
And I was left alone for a long time.
“I’m feeling a bit lonely since everyone has left, boy. Listening to it, it seems that the merchants in the living quarters have also left quite a bit. I can’t even go shopping, so it might be a pretty boring life.”
… No, come to think of it, there was only one left.
“…Are you not leaving?”
“Oh, does the boy want me to leave? Unfortunately, Rachel has nowhere to go. But if the boy gives an order, it is my destiny to follow whatever he says. If you want me to leave the floating island, I will Wouldn’t it be convenient if you gave me an order including the destination?”
“You only asked one question, how many words do you have to answer?”
Come to think of it, this guy had a chatty personality. Since we hadn’t had much chance to talk since our first meeting, he forgot about it momentarily.
I’m still confused about Rachel, but she doesn’t feel like letting go now.
Anyway, I received quite a bit of help about this apocalypse, and when I was out of the dormitory, I was subtly getting help in life, such as cleaning the house.
From noble mtl dot com
“Leave or not, do whatever you want. I’m going out for a while.”
“Yes, please come.”
Rachel bowed her head politely. She
Although she sits in a wheelchair, the way she behaves is like a maid in her house.
I have a strange feeling about him. Should we say that her Rachel’s purpose is still invisible? It seems that she came under Vincent’s orders to keep an eye on someone as well as protect me.
She can’t even guess who she came to spy on. That’s also true, since Rachel acts separate from me most of the time.
In that respect, I would say that she is clearly different from Marina Claire. And she is also different from Er A.
Each of them comes to me because they have a special purpose for me, and I know what that purpose is.
‘Even though he came as a bodyguard, he always stays away.’
If I die, Rachel will lose her life at the same time. If that’s the case, maybe she should stick around anyway.
But Rachel doesn’t make any of those movements. It’s me, she’s more comfortable moving alone than walking around with Rachel, though I didn’t bother pointing that out.
Come to think of it, she appeared out of nowhere when Rachel was fighting Evans.
Rachel said she had her surveillance system set up within the floating island. Does that mean that Rachel has the confidence to come to my aid the moment I am in danger?
… Or, it seems that I made the choice to keep the house rather than follow up simply because I ‘didn’t give an order’.
‘…… It’s a character that doesn’t appear in the original, so I don’t even know.’
I even began to think that even thinking about Rachel was meaningless.
For now, you should focus on the work in front of you.
There are two main reasons why I stayed on the floating island.
Once you get out of Floating Island for the first time, there is nowhere to go, and in any case, there are not many places with good infrastructure like Floating Island.
There will be no going back to the Duke of Beherit in the future, and going to a city outside of the floating island is not very pleasant. You may encounter pickpockets or robbers.
It is said that there was an infection once, but there is no place better than the floating island in terms of immediate security.
And the second reason is that there are several things to do on the floating island.
“Welcome, Ariel Beheritt.”
I met the person who was waiting for me in front of the student union building.
Even though she is dignified, she has little to no masculine beauty, and she is a girl with the appearance of a female knight.
She faced me with her confident face.
Jin Kartix.
“It’s been a while, Kartix senior. …Is it right to congratulate you on your inauguration as the deputy knight commander?”
“I don’t know why I became vice-captain because of an unfortunate incident. But if you congratulate me, I’ll appreciate it.”
Swoop.
Jin slightly looked away from me and headed towards the entrance of the student hall.
“Then, as the deputy knight commander, I will guide you to the student knights’ warehouse.”
I went to the bathroom and was covered with water.
He let out a sigh while looking at his damp clothes, but it was a reflex. Actually, I didn’t feel anything.
Come to think of it, I’ve heard this before. The reason why some mentally ill patients harm themselves is because they want to know the pain in a clear form.
When I first heard that word, I wondered what it meant. They say that the world of mentally ill patients is incomprehensible to them.
But I guess I can understand it now.
Somehow I feel more relieved now that I am covered with smelly dirty water.
“If it wasn’t for you…Senpai wouldn’t have died.”
“A b*tch like a witch. How dare you come to the academy with your face up?”
“Why don’t you go back to the cursed land, to that proud estate!”
“…….”
Profanities are heard from across the screen.
Meanwhile, is it really your fault? I think that.
Benit covered his eyes with both hands and bowed his head.
“Hey! You’re not coming out?! Didn’t you go to school on a steel plate because you wanted to be beaten!”
“Do you know how many people died because of you!”
“Come out! f*ck you!”
Bang! Bang!
I hear the sound of banging on the screen.
Could all of this be a lie?
Could all of this be a dream?
Benit kept repeating it in his mind.
