Sherry served tea to Amelia with a sullen expression. I touched my swollen right cheek.
Hercy asked, smiling awkwardly.
“yes. “This is a common occurrence, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“…It’s a really common thing.”
“Rather, please speak comfortably.”
“no. “You can’t do that.”
A maid and a maid are different. Maids are commoners, but maids are much more high-class.
They control their owners’ schedules, teach them manners, and help them maintain their dignity. In fact, a role close to that of an attendant.
Since commoners cannot do such important work, it is naturally handled by highly educated nobles.
So no matter how much the maid was, she could not treat her carelessly. Moreover, she is the maid of honor of the Windsor family.
“greatness.”
Amelia, who looked a bit undignified, cleared her throat as if she was embarrassed. Ruid scolded.
“I should have done it in moderation.”
“…sorry.”
Ruid stabbed Sherry’s cheek with his cane. A blue light lingered around and the swollen area subsided.
Sherry lowered her head.
“thank you. young master.”
“Sherry too. “Don’t be too harsh on your sister.”
“I will try my best. “If you follow the rules.”
“That sounds interesting, Sherry. Do you want to get hit again?”
“I don’t avoid a fight.”
Amelia and Sherry’s eyes collided. It was a war of nerves that felt like an electric current was running wild.
‘It’s nice to remember where I came from.’
Even before coming to the Academy, Sherry and Amelia had a bad relationship. Seeing the two of them fighting reminded me of the mansion located at the far corner of the north.
Go out to the backyard, go snowboarding, and go a little further down to see cute white bears.
The 18-headed snake beast loved her so much that she even gave her the name Medusa.
Those big things are good, but the peak was the arctic fox. It looked like a small Samoyed, but at first glance I thought it was a puppy.
Everyone was good friends. Is it because we live in a bleak modern society? The northern nature, which is barely touched by humans, is new every day.
Above all, my eldest sister and mother are infinitely warm to me. Although they are a bit chic, the maids take good care of them. They are all good people.
In comparison, the Academy…
“Ha.”
I just sigh. At home, I didn’t have to frown even once. Here, things keep coming up that need to be taken care of.
“What’s wrong, Lloyd? “Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“Should I hit the academy?”
Ruid’s true intentions came out inadvertently.
The surest way to avoid getting caught up in an encounter with a group of protagonists.
Moreover, the method is peaceful. No harm is done to anyone.
“Yes, yes?”
Hersy stood up in surprise.
Her pupils fluttered.
‘Actually, the purpose has already been achieved.’
Hersy was reflected in Ruid’s bored eyes.
Half of the people who came to the academy were Hersy.
When I read the original, I remember feeling so sad.
But now it seems like the cliche of Hersy being a villain has been avoided.
Since we have dealt with it properly, it is unlikely that we will touch it.
The other half was afraid that the main character, Justin, would die without him…
‘Do you really need me?’
Ruid is a character who sleeps in ‘Delin’s Lake’ and comes out to help the main character when he can’t handle it.
In other words, the expected value of ‘Lazy Ruid’ lies in its overwhelming power itself. And I think it can be replaced with ‘Swordsmith Amelia’.
Amelia is quite strong. Although it is not mentioned in the original work, it is more than enough to play the role of Joker in future episodes.
‘Are you really just going to hit me?’
I was tempted for a moment.
“wait a minute! Are you quitting the academy?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“Why on earth?”
Hersi’s eyes became moist.
“who is this.”
In addition, Amelia also became more serious.
“Did someone bother you? “Is this Justin?”
“Is it because of me…? “Because I bothered you.”
“Just say one thing. “I’ll make sure you don’t show up from the next day.”
Ruid blinked as he looked at the two people who were quite overreacting.
‘I should put it on hold for now.’
Looking at Amelia’s reaction, it seemed like she would hold someone responsible if she hit her. Probably Justin.
And Hercy wasn’t portrayed as a villain in the original for nothing. He is kind because he is a Windsor, but if he is of low status, he is not rude.
Still, it seemed like it was time to wait and see. Above all –
‘I shouldn’t put off my work to someone else.’

Because he wasn’t really a child.
“Norm top.”
Clifford was standing with his back to me. I looked at the sunlight shining in the office and turned my back. For some reason, it contained the smile of a winner.
“What happened?”
Ruid said, slightly averting his eyes.
“Has anything happened recently?”
“There was.”
I was consciously asking myself if there was something I didn’t know about, but I was surprised to hear that there really was one.
“A major incident occurred when the walls of the Colosseum, which had protected this great imperial academy for 300 years, collapsed.”
Ruid was at a loss for words.
“The repair cost is 120,000 gold. “If you consider the cost of the Old Plateau that you destroyed last time, it’s over 500,000 gold.”
Clifford was elated.
‘Why do you look so excited?’
Ruid was shaken.
“Why, even you… were you afraid that you would be charged this huge amount? ha ha ha!”
Clifford smiled coolly. He had a toothless expression that he had suffered from for 30 years.
“I knew you would come find me! The Windsor family’s education policy is famous for being very strict. Especially that icy Duke of Windsor, there’s no way he could stay still…”
‘That’s okay.’
Ruid knew how rich his family was.
Although the Duchy of Windsor has a barren environment, it is a land rich in many rare minerals.
However, Ruid decided to accommodate Clifford’s mood.
“yes. “I was very scolded.”
“Hahahaha!”
Clifford laughed like the sky was leaving.
‘…Why is this old man like this?’
Anyway, I felt good so it became easier.
“Please do me a favor.”
“ask? “Do you, who owns the whole world, have anything to ask of me?”
“If you just listen to that, I’ll give you 500,000 gold.”
I flinch.
Clifford’s body trembled.
“…Does this include the hammock in the Seamook Forest?”
Ruid nodded.
“Because I broke that too.”
“Big, big, big.”
Clifford covered his mouth and coughed several times.
He gestured and sat down on the reception sofa. He crossed his legs. Ruid sat across from him.
“What did you ask?”
“‘Lark’s Bead’. “Can you hand it over to me?”
Clifford said as if it was absurd.
“You idiot, hand over that report for just 500,000 gold? No. “500,000 gold is the money you should have received, so isn’t it free?”
The 500,000 gold, which was an exaggeration to the last degree, was disguised as what it should have been.
Ruid decided not to worry.
“We studied it for almost 90 years, but there was no result. I believe that research was stopped about 20 years ago. “Isn’t it a sad place?”
“Hey, boy. “How did you know that?”
Lark’s Orb was a life force left behind by Lark, a lich who was researching eternal life 100 years ago.
He caused great harm to the world for eternal life, and at the time, the knights formed by the Imperial Academy kept it as a reward for defeating Lark.
“Hey. That is a great achievement made by the Imperial Academy in the past. “Do you know how great an honor it is even if your research does not produce any results?”
Clifford left out the fact that the tourism revenue earned from ‘Lark’s Beads’ reached 100,000 gold every year.
Of course, Ruid also knew that fact.
‘So that’s the problem.’
A major accident that will happen soon happens because Lark’s beads are exposed to the public.
They had installed all kinds of magical devices and were imprisoning him in a transparent glass tube, but some dark side came and canceled the magic.
The lich, who was quietly waiting for a counterattack inside Lark’s bead, wakes up and becomes possessed by ‘Nia Ryan.’
Chaos breaks out, and many people die. After that, the Lich searched the surrounding area to find his hideout, and the target was ‘Delin’s Lake’, which had the highest concentration of magical power.
Yes. He went back into the grave himself. This is because the lazy Ruid immediately overpowered the uninvited guest. That’s how the incident comes to an end…
I don’t know exactly when. That’s right, because there isn’t a calendar in the novel.
That means that since he sleeps almost all day, there is a high chance of him fighting in his sleep. I hate being stressed out already. I decided to break the marble quickly.
“Are you asking for such a great academy’s specialty? “Well, they say those who are there are doing more. Tsk tsk.”
He said he received 100,000 gold every year, but he couldn’t give it up just because of 500,000 gold.
At this point, Ruid took out his secret weapon.
“If you give me that, I will transfer the copyright for my magic briefing session to the Academy.”
“W-what?”
Clifford’s eyes widened.
But soon things got rough.
“Why are you leaving that behind, you b*stard!”
‘He’s got a personality I can’t quite figure out.’
Ruid was taken aback.
“Surely I looked like an unscrupulous person stealing your merits?”
“I’m talking about the copyright of the video from my magic briefing session.”
Clifford asked quietly.
“…Are you going to take a picture?”
“If only you would give me Lark’s beads.”
Clifford cleared his throat.
“Then the story is different.”
Video copyright refers to the right to sell crystal balls that record a special wizard’s lecture.
A lecture by a named wizard can cost up to millions of gold, or at least hundreds of thousands of gold, depending on the content.
Currently, Ruid was the center of the hottest topic in the magic society.
An explanation of the great magic that destroyed the Colosseum. A wizard can’t stand this. Even if you can’t do it, you can start by earning 1 million gold.
“Hmm…”
An offer I couldn’t refuse. However, he knocked on the stone bridge and told me to cross it.
“What are you going to do with that? Are you really interested in eternal life?”
“I’m just trying to research it. “It’s just a curiosity.”
“Wouldn’t research be a waste of time?”
Clifford glanced secretly.
“Even after 90 years of research by the world’s best wizards, not a speck of dust came out. There’s nothing in it. The magic power of the Life Force was dispersed into the atmosphere when Lark died, and it is nothing more than an ordinary bead. But are you still willing to pay such a huge amount to get it?”
“It’s not something I’ve researched.”
It was a very arrogant statement. However, it was also an understandable statement.
“Hmm, the intention is somewhat questionable. good night. “If the purpose is research, I will give it to you.”
Luid’s expression brightened.
“But, I will never trust you lazy b*stard. “Start with the magic briefing session.”
In short, if you want to receive it quickly, hold a briefing session quickly.
Ruid nodded. I just don’t know the exact date, but it’s still a long time until the Rich incident happens.
Immediately after Ruid left, Phenicia approached.
“What happens?”
“It’s strange. They’re all just shy guys, but the only thing that does their job properly is the one who pampers Lark’s beads. “You said you would give it to me without saying anything.”
“Yes? “When did I say I would give it to you?”
Clifford turned his back and smiled sinisterly.
“I said I would ‘borrow’ it. Haha, hahaha!”
The idea that it would be given for research purposes meant that it only applied until students attended the academy.
Since no separate contract was written, Ruid cannot claim ownership.
“I finally got a kick out of it. Hahaha!”
Phenicia muttered, “Oh my God…” and touched her forehead.
The sight of my father smiling and telling me to leave this world after defrauding a 12-year-old…
I couldn’t bear to open my eyes.
