How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 65

lucy mayrill (2)

“Anyway, cats are all erratic, and they never play as intended.”

Senior Mamulology Professor Plabang’s classes are popular. The content is rich and there are many things to do, but even grades are given generously, so there is no choice but to form a long line of students in the classroom at Pleubbang every semester.

“When I think I’ve been touched and ask to pet him, he pretends to be noble and expensive, but when I’m not interested and gets busy, he sticks to me and sticks to me… It’s really absurd to think that he treats me as the owner only when he’s in a hurry. “

The way he dangles his moderately grown long hair and sweeps up his unshaven chin is a dandy look. There is a reason why it is so popular with female students.

When he feels that the atmosphere is sluggish while conducting classes, he spits out all sorts of rubbish and even has the skill to evoke the atmosphere, so he can be said to be a truly seasoned human being.

“In the first place, all cats are such a family, so if I want to deal with it the way I want, it’s best to stop paying attention in the end. Among the students, there must be people who are aiming for a proper contract familiar or magical creature ministry… If you look at cats and creatures, Give it a try.

Rather than forcibly trying to ingratiate yourself and become friendly, if you just turn off your attention and take a stance that it’s okay… Surprisingly, that side will start flirting with you first. Anyway, this is more difficult than dating.

“

The sound of laughter and applause spreads among the students. It seems that the atmosphere has been ventilated in its own way.

“Well, surprisingly, even in the monster ecology lesson, there are examples of feline creatures… If I had to pick that example…”

While the students’ concentration is concentrated, the story is passed naturally with the content of the lecture. After all, there is no one who can follow Professor Pleubang in the teaching power of the monster ecology class.

Anyway, the bachelor’s curriculum itself has caught up, and these days, my preparation progress has become ahead of the bachelor’s progress.

My grades, which were at the bottom of the list, have risen a lot, and now, if I rank only the writing process, there are not many students who are above me.

However, carelessness is not allowed. If you don’t have a good foundation in your written grades, you won’t be able to get good grades in practical skills either. I focused on Professor Flavin’s class.

“…I’ll wrap up with this for today. In the next lecture, I’m going to look into the ecological differences between gremlins and ogres. As related materials, you can borrow Volume 3 of Introduction to Monster Ecology… from the student library or personally. does not matter.”

The class, which I had been concentrating on without knowing how much time was passing, ended, and Professor Plabang added before ending the lecture.

“That’s right. And student Ed, would you like to come to the lab once the lecture is over?”

I have never had a single experience where a good thing happened because I was personally called by a professor. Feeling ominous, I tried to ask the reason, but Professor Pleubang answered first.

“An official letter came down from the bachelor’s side. I want to ask you something about the bachelor’s scholarship.”

Rather, it was good news for me.

*

“Are you familiar with the undergraduate scholarship system? There are 10 more sophomores than Anis and Leon students.”

“Isn’t it a system in which a certain amount of tuition is reduced in exchange for contributing to the undergraduate business to some extent?”

“Yes. I know exactly.”

Contrary to his easy-going and laconic appearance, Professor Pleubang, who unexpectedly treats his students respectfully, speaks respectfully no matter who he is talking to.

Thanks to such a straight-forward attitude, there is always an image that the work is done neatly, but when I look at the private laboratory, which is in a mess because it is hardly organized, I wonder if it is not like that again. In any case, he is a human being who has no appearance, attitude, or coherence.

I don’t know if he’s a static and calm person, or if he’s an easy-going and free-spirited person. Just looking at what it looks like, it looks like it’s going to hit you right from the bottom…

“Recently, there were some financial issues in the bachelor’s school, but anyway, the urgent fire was turned off right now… Right now, there is a shortage of manpower. There is an agenda to select more undergraduate scholarship students, so I’m thinking of recommending ed students. The student himself You seem to have a will.”

“I would be fine if the burden of tuition was reduced.”

“Yes. I also recommend it. Right now, you will be very busy because there are not enough hands, but once the pressing issues are settled, it will be rather comfortable. You can’t beat the bachelor’s scholarship student you picked right away, so it’s a pretty good job in terms of handling chores. You might be able to get tuition reimbursement.”

I could pay for one semester’s tuition with the transaction price with Lortel, but that wouldn’t be a long-term solution.

If you listen to the story, it seems that the sale of the seal of the sage went according to plan. Then, the question of what to do with the seal that was in the hands of Elte Firm remained.

I need to think about how to use my hands right now…. I won’t sell it to Crepin in a day or two right away, so I have some time to spare. It seems that there is a need to visit Lortel one more time.

“Anyway, it’s an opportunity for Ed students.”

The supply and demand of manpower is not always done flexibly according to the workload.

Even if you hire a lot of personnel during the busiest time, there is no way you can easily sack them just because the operation of the school has become stable.

That’s why Professor Pleubang is recommending taking advantage of the current time to pull out tuition benefits as much as possible.

It doesn’t look like that… but he was a professor who knew how to take care of each student’s situation in his own way.

“Are there not enough bachelor’s manpower these days?”

“It’s not necessarily an area for students to care about… but anyway, there’s a pretty big vacancy.”

I was trying to answer that question. A fairly large vacancy would be Professor Glast.

He may have felt as though he was only immersed in the research of astronomy, but in any case, he did not neglect his work as a senior professor… He did almost all of the research work, education work, and academic administration work for a few people by himself.

“Now assistant professor Claire, who was a student, is acting as a substitute… but a new professor with a short career in the first place can’t completely replace the position… At the undergraduate level, other senior professors share the work, I have a lot of assistants, so I tend to take care of them.”

Professor Flavin reached out his hand toward the corner of the classroom, and the door of the iron cage on that side opened with a slight creak.

A grayish-brown snake crawled out of it, flicking its tongue, and climbed onto Professor Flavin’s arm. I frowned, but didn’t complain. Even if it’s like this, even though he’s a monster ecology professor, he probably won’t be able to control a snake like that.

“Assistant Professor Claire must be having a lot of trouble right now. Still, the assistants in charge are quite competent, so I think it will be comforting.”

“Then am I going to be assistant professor Claire’s assistant?”

“Undergraduate scholarship students are strangely different from teaching assistants. They do not belong to a specific professor’s laboratory… Anyway, it is convenient to view them as more like outsourced personnel who help with undergraduate work.”

“What specifically do you do?”

“I do almost all the work related to undergraduate work. Of course, I don’t ask for work that is intensive enough to affect the student’s personal studies… In my case, I sometimes ask for help with paperwork or field trips.”

Professor Flavin lifted the tongue-flicking jaw of the snake and checked it here and there for any health problems.

“As assistant professor Claire inherited Professor Glast’s job… Well, once the end-of-semester evaluation work is finished, he will be in charge of the academic conference agenda during the vacation… I’ll take care of it myself. The senior professors will help me a little.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. So, Ed student might be able to help with that kind of work for a while. He will mainly be doing practical things without affecting his studies. If you see freshmen, don’t be disciplined. These days things like that Because things are sensitive. There are a lot of precious people.”

I shook my head saying there was no such thing. There is no particular intention to contact other students more than necessary.

Well, while studying in Sylvania, I have a desire to make a lot of high-end personal connections… but I wonder if I have enough mental strength to focus on human relationships right away.

Taylor is already on track. It’s just that the beginning is unstable, but at this point, unless there are other problems, Taylor’s growth will show an increase almost comparable to the exponential function graph.

The problem was that it was difficult to gain momentum, but once momentum was gained, what could not be stopped even if one tried to stop it was the rise of the main character. In fact, it was the same at the time of the Glast subjugation. In the end, despite numerous incidents, everything was accomplished as it was.

Soon, the opening of the swordsmanship ceremony is almost finished, and now he will start to stand out as a proper swordsman.

Then maybe I could pay attention to the other side…? Even when I have a thought, the anxiety rears its head again. There is nothing wrong with handling everything thoroughly.

“There are a lot of sensitive issues, especially for new students. More than anything… there is a story that the very saintess of the Church of Telos is entering the school.”

Professor Flavin sighed deeply.

There will always be one student in each grade level who is of the utmost interest. It’s different from that person’s strength.

If Fenia, the princess of the Chloe Empire, was in the spotlight for the current first year, Clarisse of the Church of Telos for next year’s freshman.

<Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman> The last of the 4 heroines… Clarisse, the heart of Telos.

“In fact, all the attention is focused on the saintess’ admission, but besides that, this new student is full of all kinds of big names. Ed students have become somewhat of a bachelor’s side… wouldn’t it be a bad idea to check it out at least once?”

After saying that, Professor Plavin took out a document and looked it over. It seems that there has already been information sharing on key freshmen among the undergraduate faculty.

Well, even from the point of view of a bachelor, the spine will heat up. In addition to last year, to this freshman… There are too many students in this generation who are born with natural talent or blood. The more this happens, the heavier the professor’s shoulders will be.

“Still, when will Ed student act as a senior in front of such brilliant talents again? The only son of the commander of the Northern Border Corps, the descendant of the disastrous alchemist, or the most powerful man on the continent…”

After talking that far, Professor Flabang was speechless for a moment.

Did he talk too comfortably in front of the students? Unbeknownst to him, he made a mistake in his words.

It seems that I thought it could be a sensitive subject for me, who was excommunicated from my family.

I raised my head slightly and looked at the report document that Professor Plabang had received. As expected, it is as expected.

There is no need for the professor to notice the student… Still, some words may hurt the student.

Considering that he was considerate of my position as I moved around the city after being excommunicated from my family, I can say that he has a very good heart.

“It’s okay, Professor.”

The photo imprinted with magic is the image of a girl. The rich blonde hair covers her upper body like folded wings.

Along with the sharp eyes, the clear features clearly resemble someone. I can feel the elegance comparable to that of a duke’s daughter… but I don’t think I can talk about it as a good impression even with empty words.

<The Fallen Swordsman of Sylvania> Act 3, Scene 2. The boss of the student council president election. It is said, the daughter of the next evil.

There was nothing to be surprised about.

This is because Tanya Rosteiler’s admission was a fact she knew from the beginning.

“You know. Firewood is running out.”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

Lucy ate jerky that had been dried on a drying rack at will, took a nap while lying down somewhere in the camp, and sometimes when she was awake, she idly breathed fresh air on the roof of the cabin.

It was because Lucy suddenly said something productive.

“…what?”

“Wouldn’t there be a lack of firewood at this rate?”

As I was sitting in front of a campfire and sharpening my arrows, I questioned myself again. what now?

Laziness Lucy, who was just lying there blankly as if everything in the world was bothering her and letting the years go by… Worried about the lack of firewood?

“They said that when winter comes, they will run out of firewood.”

It was Lucy, sitting on a nearby rock, sniffing jerky.

No, if you look at the stretched posture, rather than sitting down… it’s almost at the level of being stretched out.

The voice still whispers in a drowsy, drowsy voice, but I can’t believe it’s Lucy.

“Well, that’s true, but…”

These days, I rarely procure firewood. Originally, I planned to store a lot of firewood in preparation for the winter, but… Considering that I was entering the Dex building around winter vacation, I didn’t need to stock up so much.

“Why aren’t you hunting these days?”

“Why is that all of a sudden?”

“…”

“Did you originally have that much interest in my survival activities…?”

Camp management was, after all, for long-term living in these forests. As I began to lean toward joining Dex, I had no choice but to neglect camp maintenance and long-term living standards.

I haven’t made up my mind to 100% yet, but I didn’t think there would be anything too bad going into the Dex building… I wonder if it’s better to be close to the professor-dong if I’m going to work as an undergraduate scholarship student anyway.

I wanted to explain the situation in detail, but I don’t think I’ll listen to it if I explain it to Lucy, who has been completely indifferent to me.

Since the other side is consistent with indifference, I have no answer other than to remain indifferent.

In the first place, Lucy is the main character in the scenario. It’s just that it’s an uncontrollable variable that’s comparable to a natural disaster, so I just neglected it.

If he joins the Dex building, his contact with Lucy, who belongs to the Ophelis building, will decrease to some extent, so in a way, the scenario itself may become more stable. It’s all just speculation though.

I felt suspicious about Lucy’s sudden question… but I wonder if I should give an answer.

So I was choosing an answer… Meanwhile, the grass on the other side shook and a girl jumped out.

“Hi, Ed!”

She is familiar with her bright smile as she shakes off the leaves that cling to her skirt. Wearing a shawl embroidered with cosmos patterns, he tidied up his well-dressed school uniform.

For some reason, I was so happy to see Yenika who came to the camp with persimmon flower hairpins on, so I shook my hand roughly.

“Is class over for today?”

“Yes, yes. Professor Marie’s class, which was scheduled for late afternoon, is canceled. So I came here to rest!”

With a smile, he walked often to the campfire, sat down, and quickly grabbed his oak staff.

“You won’t be able to camp during winter break. You should come as many times as you can, huh!”

After saying that, Yenika looked at the whole view of the camp with a very complicated smile.

“It was really fun and nice to spend time here, but to think that this kind of life is over… It seems a bit lonely. I liked this camp.”

“It hasn’t been fully concluded yet, and we don’t know if there will be a spot in the Dex Pavilion.”

“I’m using the Dex building right now. There are a lot of vacancies, so Ed will definitely be able to come in.”

Yenika pulled up the hem of her shawl and rolled it around, laughing ehehe.

When I look at the whole view of the camp as well, I can see a new scenery at a glance.

How long did it take for you to build a camp like this after being kicked out of Ophelis Hall? How much work was done, and there were still a lot of things to be repaired.

Maybe the reason why I hesitate to enter the dex hall… There is also an environmental reason, but my effort and time in this camp seemed to play a part.

Anyway, my body has adapted to camp life to some extent. Now that I’m in a state where it’s not too hard, I can’t help but feel sorry for the effort I put in.

“Ed has a lot of other things to focus on.”

Saying that, Yenika nodded with a muffled sound.

“It’s not like that.”

The chest is heavy. The iron key in the inner pocket was given to him by Professor Glast.

The academic investigation is coming to an end, so I’ll have to open the library’s secret safe. If I go into the dormitory, there will be restrictions on my actions, so I think it would be better to go check it out tomorrow evening.

Also, it is necessary to check the state of the library and restore the parts that can be restored as much as possible to increase my specs.

After finishing today’s work, let’s enter the hole Lucy drilled around tomorrow evening. In order to do that, it seems that it is necessary to make a ladder at least crudely.

“It’s too bad you won’t be able to come to this camp, but Ed’s environment is also important. If you decide to move to the Dex building, be sure to call me! I’ll help you if there’s anything I can do!”

“No, there’s not too much luggage to move anyway. Pretty much everything will be there.”

“That’s right. The facility should be better than a cabin. Also, since most of my classmates are in the Dex building… I’m sure you and I will see each other a lot more often than now.

Yep. If we meet at the student cafeteria, let’s eat together. I tend to eat early, but there are days when Clara and I don’t have time to eat separately… First of all, on the first day, I’ll tell you all the locations of the facilities. see you in the morning Also, there are cases where self-study rooms can be used by more than two people, but if you are in trouble because there are not enough people, call, ugh. Ugh. Miahan, ugh.

“

What was so exciting about it, Yenika gushed out words and chewed her tongue, feeling intimidated.

Then, as if I realized that I was excited and talked too much, I lowered my head and apologized without any context. It’s like saying a bunch of useless words when you’re drunk, and then being ashamed the next morning.

“My, I have a lot of good things today! I’m talking a lot, yes! Ahaha. I’ll kill the tension. Umm. Sad thoughts, sad thoughts.”

“…”

“I have to go through the end-of-semester evaluations… There is an election for the student council president during vacation… I have to train more for the high-ranking spirit contract ceremony… That’s right… I’m busy, I’m busy… I’m really busy…”

It’s so cute that he’s talking to himself like that while sweeping the corners of his mouth. She doesn’t have anything to say, so let’s wait quietly, and Yenica snaps her back with a sigh.

“Voila-“

Then he pulled out a stiff piece of paper from his bosom.

“Application for joining Dex Hall?”

“Yeah, it’s the application season, so if you apply late, you’ll often be missed. So, first of all, it’s good to fill out the application form in advance and think about it.”

“Oh, to take care of things like this. Thank you so much, Yenica.”

“I wrote it the other day when I left the Ophelis building. There are a lot of vague parts to write this subtly, and the standards are jagged, so it was hard to do it alone. I’ve already done it once, so let’s write it together while I’m here. Go ahead and submit your thoughts later.”

Surely it might be a headache to write later when the time comes. It was the moment when she was about to accept the papers she was handing over, expressing her sincere appreciation for Yenika’s consideration.

– Poof.

At a completely unexpected timing, a girl suddenly intervened between me and Jenika.

Right now, all I could see was a large witch hat, but just by looking at it, it was clear who the girl blocking was.

“Lu… Lucy?”

Yenica also stuttered, probably too embarrassed.

Lucy, who suddenly blocked the road with her arms outstretched… she was sweating profusely with her eyes wide open for some reason. It was the first time I had ever seen such an expression, so I was momentarily taken aback.

At first, Lucy had no interest in Jenika.

The first few days, I noticed Lucy from Yenica’s side… but for several days, there was no reaction, and Lucy, who had been absentmindedly doing what she had to do and taking a nap, had already been treated like a folding screen.

In the first place, it is very precious that Jenika has a conversation with Lucy.

“…”

Lucy came out with her spinning pupils and looked at Yenika, at the camp, at the drying rack, at the bonfire, etc… Then again, she looked at the papers that Yenika was handing over.

No matter how I stretched out my hand to block it, I couldn’t express my magic power.

Due to her contract with Glockt during her lifetime, Lucy does not recklessly exercise her power at least against the members of this Sylvania Academy.

Unless it is unavoidable due to the contents of the class or an injustice situation, he does not recklessly kill or injure anyone. That’s why it was hard to think that magic would come out of Lucy’s hands.

However, this did not relieve her enmity towards Yenika.

But she doesn’t want to use her magic recklessly… Lucy is trembling and shedding cold sweat as if the fast-approaching job application is a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

As I was stepping back like that, the back of my head hit my chest… and I raised my arms in the direction of Yenika and raised my voice.

“… Mmm, stop!”

“…”

Saying that, he glanced up at my face once.

As if something was getting complicated, he looked back at Jenika and me once again… He looked around the entire camp… He didn’t even think to hide his face, as if he was confused by something.

“…Bah, don’t take that!”

It was to spit out such words.

In response to this incomprehensible action, Jenika had no choice but to stand still for a while.

*

“Winter vacation special class…? In the first place, Professor Glast isn’t there, so who is going to teach the class…”

Lortel tilted her head as she sat at the office table of the store and received the official letter of the bachelor’s degree.

In any case, class A must continue, so the professor in charge would come, but I didn’t know that the situation would be resolved so quickly.

“Well, I’ll be able to afford it around vacation time… I guess it doesn’t matter.”

Sweeping her auburn hair that was tied back, Lortel sighed. I’m really busy with no time to open my eyes. She seems to have some decent free time at the end of the semester.

Anyway, at the end of the semester, Jenika will be busy as well, and Ed will be hectic.

Lucy, what… There’s a high chance that there won’t be any noticeable changes right away.

“…?”

Suddenly, a strange sensation runs down my back.

Lortel corrected the woolen coat she wore for everyday wear and put it on, stood up for a moment, and opened the office window. Cool air comes in and permeates the brain, relieving fatigue.

However, the strange feeling does not go away.

“…What? Why is it so ominous…??”

Lortel tilted her head and took in the view of Sylvania in late autumn once again.

It was winter soon.
