How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 71

wintering out (4)

In full winter, Mt. Orn was full of bare tree branches with only bones remaining.

The intermittently studded evergreens did not completely decolorize the vegetation, but usually only the pure white hues of the dazzling snowfields came into view.

I brushed off the snow accumulated on the flat rocks halfway up Mt. Oron. After confirming that the moisture had dried to some extent, Anise and I sat appropriately on top of it.

“It’s not a very big mountain, but a mountain is a mountain anyway. There are many areas that are subtly dangerous, and because the timing is right, students could get seriously injured if they slip on snowy roads. I need to be alert when supervising, right?”

Anis had her gray-brown hair, which was neatly tied up, letting it loose. After he entered the mountain, he said that the back of his neck was chilly and cold, and untied the strap.

Her hair, down to her shoulders, is moderately wavy and wavy. As she brushed her hair with her hand, the faint smell of incense wafted in.

“Ehh… it’s hard… Ed doesn’t look like he’s having a hard time at all?”

“It’s time to take a break. Let’s take a break.”

There are no crowds on the mid-side of the right mountain. The timing is also timing, and there are no students who can lead by example to this point in the first place.

It is completely silent except for the chirping of birds and the sound of snow being stepped on. Occasionally the wind blows, revealing the snow-covered grass, but not enough to break the silence.

“Thank you, Ed. Ed has good stamina. Work is delayed because of me for no reason… He’s considerate…”

Anis touched the tips of her fingers and lowered her gaze in embarrassment.

“That… I must have misunderstood a lot about Ed.”

Anis looked up embarrassedly, then averted her gaze again, embarrassed.

“misunderstanding?”

“Ed knew to some extent, right? That… I’m best friends with Jenika… So, I was worried about what would happen if Jenika hung out with someone mean… So I think that’s why I acted colder towards Ed. …”

When I thought about what Anise had done to be cold to me, it wasn’t such a big deal.

It was all about looking at them with cold eyes or avoiding the seat when they occasionally met.

Well, during the first semester, my academic reputation was ruined, so I fully understand that much. It wasn’t just Anise, most of the bachelor students avoided me, so Anise wasn’t particularly worse.

In the first place, I didn’t even care much because I was looking for a place to live.

“It’s okay. I don’t really care. You must have had a situation like that. I understand.”

I said that roughly, and took a look at the site visit checklist written by assistant professor Claire.

Starting from the middle of the hill, check the flat areas where you can place the engineering supplies, check the cliffs that could be dangerous, and prepare safety devices. And it’s quite cumbersome to have to check up to the top where the altar is… But if you hurry up, you’ll be able to finish it before the sun goes down.

And since I had a bunch of other things to do when I got back to camp, I wanted to get things done as quickly as possible.

Even so, it was impossible to drag Anise, who lacked stamina. Also, I’m in a position to be careful not to overwork, so it wouldn’t be too bad to take frequent breaks.

“Ed… he’s more steady and sincere than I thought.”

Anis spoke shyly, twisting the ends of her hair. And he slowly turned his gaze to me again.

“It’s really relieved to see someone like Ed come to the lab as a manpower. It was difficult to live as a senior assistant alone… I know Ed, but assistant professor Claire is a bit sloppy. As an academic, he’s a very promising person. …”

“That’s true. You must have suffered a lot too.”

“Yeah, yes, but… it’s okay.”

Anise smiled broadly and grabbed my forearm lightly.

“Ed is here.”

“I haven’t done anything right yet…”

“I’ll help you from now on. Look, the field trip is almost over.”

Anis jumped up from her seat and, keeping a quick glance, came in front of me and faced me.

“Of course, the other two people are helpful enough, but Ed’s presence is a great source of strength for me.”

“…?”

“Ed… I’m sorry if I’m hurting, but… You’re excommunicated from the family, aren’t you?”

Should the expression be different? Even the same smile is different.

The smile he made while looking at me gently, this time seems to be enduring some kind of pain rather than feeling lively.

With a bitter smile and a sly look, he puts his hands behind his back and slightly bends his waist. As if you want to see my expression.

“I know that being alone in such a dazzling school… is not easy.”

It is strangely different from coquetry. It stimulates the charm of an adult and a sense of identity as a same age group at the same time.

He came up to me lightly, swiped my arm, and continued talking without erasing a bitter smile.

“I was like that too. As soon as I entered school, my family was shaken up, but I still wanted to attend this school all the time… So I endured it alone.”

“That must have been… painful.”

“Yeah. It was hard.”

Anis stared blankly at the sky with dim eyes, splitting time apart and seeming to reminisce about the past times she had endured alone.

“It felt like I was walking alone through a long, long winter.”

There was definitely an impression that the vitality was strong. It was proof that they had solved everything by themselves, whether it was the economic part or the other part.

“That’s why he must have felt a sense of kinship with Ed. Ed must have had a difficult life as an undergraduate. Not only that, but there were also a lot of bad rumors going around.”

“I somehow got used to it, so it’s okay. Don’t be too heartbroken. You’re holding on well enough, too.”

“Ahaha. Thanks. We have… a lot in common.”

Since I was spouting sentimental words for no reason, I handed over words of comfort and sympathy in moderation.

Something… I wonder if he had this image. Wasn’t it a more cool-headed and realistic personality rather than this emotional one?

We weren’t very close, so I don’t know that much… Anyway, it was strangely different from the image I’ve felt so far. They say you have to look inside a person to know.

“As expected, Ed’s heart is really strong. I’m really glad I got to clear up the misunderstanding with him. Uhm.. Uh… Maybe it’s because you… talked about it too sentimentally… I’m getting a fever for no reason…”

Anis wiggled her fingers again, then turned around with a fuss.

“Ah.. Anyway, it’s a little embarrassing! Anyway, since we’ve had enough rest, let’s start for the top! Let’s finish quickly! Be careful not to fall! There are a lot of rocks around here!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Anise fell over. Coincidentally, it slid towards me and was sucked into my bosom.

“Woohwaahak!”

Anise made a fuss again, shoved her arm around my chest and quickly got out.

“Mi-I’m sorry! I tripped over a rock!”

“be careful.”

I sneakily looked around the floor to clear out any dangerous rocks, but I didn’t see any rocks. Did you just slip in the snow?

Anis quickly fanned her hands and began to cool her face. It was definitely an embarrassing situation, so I waited for him to slowly gather his mind.

“Now, wait… I… Why is my fever rising… That… I’ll calm down soon…! Sit here for a while…! I’ll be back soon…!!”

Then, flapping her hand fan, she hurriedly hides behind an old tree far away.

I sat down on a flat rock and took another deep breath. I stared blankly at the spread of my breath, then raised my gaze to see Orunsan, dressed in pure white, clearly in my field of vision.

It was quite spectacular.

“It’s ambiguous.”

Sitting on the roots of an old tree that had penetrated the ground, Anis captured her expression.

“On the outside, you’re really upright and steady… Are you being shy…? Because you know I’m Jenika’s best friend…?”

Anis tilted her head, ran her chin, and agonized deeply. Obviously, the reaction itself is not cool.

The policy itself was followed perfectly.

He looks competent, but when he looks inside, he is secretly weak and needs to be protected.

A comrade who has endured the difficult academic life well. building such a consensus.

I wasn’t sure if I liked things that were mature or cute, so I went with the feeling of embracing the two to some extent, and after throwing a few subtle skinships, in the end, I disguised myself as an accident and put my bodies on top of each other hotly.

The other side seems to be embarrassed as well, but the feeling of being rationally conscious is a bit ambiguous.

I wonder if I should watch it a little more, but if it didn’t go over this much, I wonder if it’s not a waste of time.

“Ummm… I was too immersed…”

To be sure, I did method acting. Since he lamented his bachelor life, which was like a harsh winter, perhaps his sincerity was slightly mixed.

What can I do? Paradoxically, the perfect lie is born when a tiny bit of sincerity is mixed in.

To some extent, it seems to have been an effective hit, so if there is a response, it will be sooner or later.

“Well, by the way… I haven’t seen it that way, but it looks better than I thought.”

Anise unfolds the palm that just touched Ed’s chest, then folds and unfolds it again. It feels like the texture that was harder than expected remains.

Acting like a sandman, his stamina is better than expected. I thought he was a nobleman who grew up not knowing anything, but surprisingly he has quite a bit of work. Appearance is not a level that needs to be weighed.

Indeed, an ignorant celestial girl like Yenica might be fooled when she sees it… Anis has background knowledge.

Anyway, he is a descendant of the high-handed Roth Taylor family, and even if he calms down a bit, the old notoriety won’t disappear in an instant.

Even though contemplation is a science, doubts about Ed’s conduct do not disappear. If you think that he raped women in this way, it is quite convincing.

For the playboys who change women by changing masks, this level of living must be a piece of cake. If the opponent is ambiguous and strange even in Anis’s eyes, it’s only natural that an innocent girl like Yenika would fall for her.

“Yes, that’s how it is.”

Anis nodded and steadied her breath.

A thick mask drapes the surface of the skin.

The renovated Ophelis Hall was much cleaner and more sophisticated than before.

Of course, Tanya, who had just set foot in Sylvania, couldn’t tell the difference.

I was just admiring the appearance that seemed to be incomparable to the Roth Taylor mansion. When I came to apply for admission in advance, I didn’t expect it to be this beautiful because it was still under construction.

“The maids have arranged the luggage you sent. It’s the second room on the third floor.”

The daughter of the Roth Taylor family, the most powerful person on the continent, was present. Of course, Bell Maia, the head of the Ophelis building, jumped out.

After bowing politely and guiding Tanya, Tanya shook her head gracefully.

“Please complete the joining process through the attendants. I have a place to stop by before that.”

“all right.”

One by one, attendants dressed in antique clothes get off Tanya’s luxurious carriage. They are well educated and look good together.

With only a minimum number of employees accompanying her, Tanya turned her movements towards the living quarters.

I’m not in good shape, but I like to walk. Breathing in the cool winter air, I slowly toured the campus.

Professor Dong in Sylvania is full of romance. It is a land of learning where noble and talented people are reborn as brilliant talents by polishing and polishing themselves.

I feel like I’ve become a member just by hanging out between them, and my mood has been lifted.

– ‘I am very happy as a father to hear your will. I really want to support that ambition.’

The benevolent and dignified duke of the Chloe Empire, Kreffin Ross Taylor.

The last conversation she had with her father, whom she admired the most, before leaving Ross-Taylor Mansion, put more weight on Tanya’s shoulders.

Before leaving for Sylvania, the land of study, I conveyed two resolutions to my father.

In Sylvania, the land of learning where talented young people gather, I will definitely become the youngest student president and raise the honor of my family.

And the disgrace of the Roth Taylor family that has not yet been fully resolved. Ed Rosteyler’s presence will be completely erased from this glorious Sylvania.

This is Tanya’s aspiration, determined solely for the glory of her noble family. Creffin was greatly impressed.

Tanya was very proud of that fact.

Due to the tragedy of the mysterious death of the eldest daughter, Arwen, and the excommunication of the eldest son, Ed, he was somehow placed in the position of the next head of the Roth Taylor family.

In fact, it was hard to get rid of the qualifications that I might have gained a glory that did not fit the subject.

When she got accepted into Sylvania and felt so recognized… Tanya was motivated again. She quickly took the freshman class placement test, so she wanted to be recognized for her abilities.

He was probably the first freshman to enter the dormitory.

If you think about the student body president election, you don’t have much time. I wanted to meet the main people in the bachelor as much as possible, stamp their faces, and enlist them on my side.

The 1st year student council president, like never before in the history of Sylvania. That position was Tanya’s primary goal.

– ‘There are many ‘giants’ within the undergraduate school. It’s important to convince each student individually, but if you’re going to eventually become the student body president, it’s important to enlist key figures who lead public opinion as your allies.’

Father Crepin’s golden advice. and help.

– ‘There are quite a few ‘giants’ I’ve known in the undergraduate school. There are things you need to take care of right now, so please represent me, stamp your face on them, and try to expand your position by making various suggestions.’

Even as she moved her steps, Tanya’s breath was quickening.

She lives in the Roth Taylor mansion, and as a young lady, she was raised like a golden jade leaf… but she’s certainly never done anything on her own initiative.

He was honorably riding on his family’s majesty, but he hadn’t actually done anything to the family.

This is your chance. It is also a surrogate for his father, but before that, he is establishing himself as Tanya Ross Taylor.

“It’s over.”

With a smile, Tanya finished her story.

His own ambition to become the student council president. Willingness to wipe out the trashy Ed Rosteyler and completely restore the family’s glory.

And, what can you do when you support yourself. what can you promise

Shaking off those things, I smiled gracefully again.

She is like a rose that has just bloomed. Seeing the freshman’s aspirations, the ‘big shot’, who was facing Tanya across the table, sat still.

“Anyway, the election for student president is still far away, and there are many things to do as a freshman before that, so this is just a simple promise. Anyway, if you support me, I can actively reflect your opinion on the academic regulation proposal that has an impact even inside the living room. Senior. Other than that, someone like you should know much better what it means to have the student council president as an ally.”

And add it naturally.

“There’s not much you need to do, senior. Just support me during the election for student president, and besides that… please help me a little to end Ed Roth Taylor. The undergraduate work is still very unreliable. Work done. The clearer the better, so I want to get as much help as possible.”

Tanya continued to speak in a relaxed manner, chewing over what Creffin had said.

– ‘Sylvania will give you the utmost courtesy according to your status, but in any case, the essence is a land of study. Even the princess treats her professors as teachers when it comes to academics, so she shouldn’t commit rudeness based on her noble status. Everyone in a higher grade than you is a senior.’

grade prior to identity. Of course, the other person would treat Tanya with respect worthy of her status, but she had no intention of being arrogant.

Tanya had already heard a lot of rumors about seniors in Sylvania who had brilliant talents.

One of the owners of the rumor, the ‘big player’, was greeted right in front of his eyes. Problems before identity. It is a matter of ‘achievement’ and ‘capacity’.

No matter how lowly a person has a status, no one can look down on his proven ability. And isn’t he the one who acknowledges and bows his head even to veterans who have experienced all kinds of battles? The opponent is a big lion that eats numerous ‘big guns’.

The elegance that flows out is no different from that of nobles. Without Ross Taylor’s majesty, it would have been difficult to have the honor of meeting these giants in person.

– ‘Keep that in mind even when you meet someone I will introduce you to. You must respect your opponent. Especially when it comes to negotiations and deals, he is an opponent that can never be taken lightly.’

– ‘She and I… are the ones who had a face-to-face relationship with the sage’s sealing project. There are still some negotiations to be done, so you can act as my representative. It will definitely be a good experience, but… Hmmm… no. Cheer up, Tanya.’

Lortel Kecheln was watching the freshman staring at him with twinkling eyes.

“…”

After hearing the story to the end, Lortel gently closed and opened her eyes… and smiled gracefully at the same time.

“…that’s fun.”
