EP.225 The nightmare is back (4)
Professor Letia’s farewell party was large.
There were several reasons why the farewell party had to be large, and it was not just the students’ respect for Professor Letia.
“Princess Lruelle and Princess Ayla are participating in the farewell party.”
That’s because such rumors spread.
When several students found the courage to ask Ayla a question, it turned out to be true. While the rumor turned out to be true, it was the children of noble families who reacted most dramatically.
Aplia Academy is prestigious.
Although their origins are not noble, many talented children enter the school, and this fact is easy to be forgotten… However, many children of prestigious families are also attending Aplia.
‘First Princess Leruelle.’
With the disappearance of 1st Prince Isaac, a person semi-confirmed to be the next king. However, thanks to the rumor going around that she is a ‘mad dog’… the number of nobles who have had meaningful interactions with her is so small that she can be counted on one hand.
Such a person appears at the farewell party.
It is a valuable opportunity for students from prestigious families. As a result of the combination of respect for Professor Rutia and the students’ passion to seize this special opportunity, the size of the farewell party becomes excessively large.
“If this is enough…”
“What about the food at table A? “I think there’s not enough tray here…”
I rented an entire hall.
The long tables are full of all kinds of food. The farewell party, which is grander than most aristocratic social gatherings, is full of students moving around constantly.
There was just over an hour left until the farewell party began.
Professor Rutia has already arrived and is chatting lightly with the students. The student representative who planned the event took a quick look at the scene and felt his heart pounding.
‘I’m nervous that the two princesses are visiting…’
Rather, there is a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
“Wouldn’t we also need a stage to express our gratitude to Professor Rania? “I think it’s necessary.”
These are the words of Princess Ayla, who came while we were preparing for the event. In addition to the princess, there were three senior students by her side.
“You’re a person who is secretly sensitive to such things. “If you don’t take care of it, it will be very, very annoying later.”
The boy shook his head.
Belnoa, (former) head of the Combat Magic Department.
“I think it’s necessary. It is true that the great Professor Rania worked hard for us. I take this opportunity to reflect on my gratitude to my teacher…”
Lark Van Grace, the current head of the Combat Magic Department, who emphasizes the word ‘great’ for some reason.
「I will help you. Do you have any ledgers to maintain? “I can help you with additional budget funds or documents that need to be raised.”
Resty Eleanoa, the next Mage Tower lord of the Gray Mage Tower, was a great help in preparing for the event.
They all asked for one thing.
Make a seat for Professor Rania of a quality that Professor Rania will be ‘satisfied with.’ Of course, it was not an unreasonable request.
‘It’s not an unreasonable request…’
As a student representative, I had no idea what level Professor Rania had to reach to be satisfied with, so I had to wrap my head around it and think about it for several days.
‘So, I left it to two people I know well to some extent…’
The student representative glanced at one side of the hall. Belnoa and Lark were there decorating the table.
“How about adding more meat here?”
“Why meat? “Isn’t this enough?”
“Professor Rania likes meat. “The last time he came to the north, he ate a lot of meat.”
“···okay? “Do you like meat more than I thought?”
“There is no one who hates meat. Meat rather than grass. “Get rid of all the salad here…”
“Are you crazy?”
Lark keeps trying to throw away the salad, and Belnoa slaps Lark on the back of the head, asking if he’s crazy. The expression on the student representative’s face became mysterious as he saw this.
“Uhm…”
···Was it a good thing that I entrusted it to you?
Even as the student representative ponders, time passes steadily. As the farewell party began, the guest who had been waiting walked into the hall.
“Ah, you’re not really upset…”
“I understand. This is already the seventh time, Professor. “I know everything even if you stop talking…”
It’s Professor Rania, who looks somewhat sulky, and Princess Ayla, who is pulling her by the arm. After that, Resty and Chloe join us.
widely.
Soon they enter the hall.
The students who were running around stopped and looked towards the door. Looking at the professor standing there… the students who prepared for the event swallow their saliva.
Rania van Trias.
What kind of person is she?
To be honest, during the past semester, the students did not see her as a ‘human being’ like them.
‘Something different… of a different kind…’
It doesn’t look like a person at all.
I felt like I was looking at a near-perfect doll. A doll that cannot understand the human mind. However, this is all limited to the first semester.
What was it like entering the second semester?
The image that comes to the students’ minds is that of Professor Rania raising her voice to protect the honor of the Battle Mage.
“Battle Mages are great! This is a class created by the great Gray Wizard himself!”
The sight of him giving an impassioned speech at the church.
“There is no need to be intimidated. Victory is achieved. The key is to prove it. Our fundamentals are achieved and proven through victory. Everyone, please have confidence…”
The sight of him preaching fundamentalism with passionate eyes.
“Oh my god, let go of this! “Let go!”
and···.
“I won. I won. Don’t you let go of this? Shoot! f*ck you, shoot! Who, who falls after being hit by something like that? “Did you say I collapsed?”
Amazingly ugly look.
The images that set fire to the faces of the spectators watching the duel appear one after another in the students’ minds.

Yes.
Entering the second semester, Professor Rania is frequently showing her human side. She is not a perfect doll who cannot understand humans.
‘Someone seems a bit strange.’
That impression is changing.
Sometimes they appear upset, and sometimes they appear jealous. Students feel humanity in such petty behavior.
Not just a perfect doll, but a human being.
It was a long story, but in the end, the story is that the psychological distance was reduced a little. Students realize that Rania is no longer just a perfect being.
“La, Professor Rania.”
Because I know.
“We prepared a seat for you…”
The student representative gathers courage and opens his mouth.
Professor Rania slowly raises her head and looks at the student representative. The CEO continued speaking while facing her bluish eyes.
“Do you like it?”
Point to the seat prepared for her.
This is the table where Belnoa and Lark are still arguing. Rania’s eyes widened as she looked at the table. She pursed her lips.
“Uhm…”
A moment of hesitation.
“No, everything like this…”
What she spat afterwards seemed dry at first glance.
However, the students do not miss the slight tremor in her voice.
Although she was acting expressionless, the students clearly saw the corners of Rania’s mouth trembling.
Although I’m pretending not to be like that.
Although I’m acting like I wasn’t expecting anything at all.
‘Actually, it looks like he likes it…!’
Sigh, the student representative clenched his fist.
Resisting the urge to whistle, the representative pointed vigorously to the seat prepared for Professor Rania.
“Welcome, Professor Rania!”
2.
Oh my god, what is this?
From the moment she stepped foot on the farewell party until now, Rania had to focus all her attention on keeping her mouth shut.
‘No, really, why are you doing all this…’
The scale of the farewell party was extraordinary.
It was on a scale reminiscent of any dinner party she had ever seen. Of course, this was not her first time participating in an event like this.
‘I have participated with Kyle a few times…’
That kind of dinner party wasn’t an event solely for Kyle and himself. It was an event attended by not only the nobles’ blatant looks, but also those who were trying to steal something more.
So, it was the first time.
An event that can be purely enjoyed.
“Professor Rania.”
“···Yes, yes.”
“The corners of my mouth have been trembling since a while ago. “Would you like a fan to cover your mouth?”
Ayla’s mischievous voice lingers in Rania’s ears. Rania wondered if she had done it herself, so she touched the corners of her mouth, but…she could not feel any tremors at the corners of her mouth.
“It was a lie. “I think you got stabbed.”
“no···.”
This princess again.
As Rania let out a short sigh, Ayla, sitting next to her, rested her chin and looked at Rania.
“I’m glad you like it.”
“…It feels good.”
A place for celebration.
The fact that the students created this place for themselves and not for anyone else… is quite touching.
‘Was I… harsh?’
A thought like that appears in Rania’s head for a moment.
If students had thought that they were preparing an event just for themselves, wouldn’t it have been better to postpone plans such as stimulation until later?
“Uhm…”
Rania groaned out of some sense of guilt.
“Should we reduce the number of assignments?”
This is the time when nightmares take over human hearts.
The hall became noisy once again. It was because a new customer came.
Sigh.
The door to the hall opens and two knights enter. One is a person known as the princess’s bodyguard, and the other is a royal guard whom I have encountered several times while traveling around Aplia.
A one-eyed royal guard with an eyepatch.
As he opened the door, he took a step to the side and lowered his head. Next, the escort driver opens his mouth and announces the identity of the visitor.
“Princess Lruel is eating it.”
As silence filled the hall, someone passed by the two knights with their heads bowed and entered the hall.
Again.
The sound of shoe heels followed by a steady sound.
The platinum-blonde hair, close to silver, is flowing. The eyes revealed through flowing hair are sharp. Cool golden eyes looked around the hall.
“Hoo.”
The first princess, Lruel.
With a brief admiration, she looks at the student representative.
“Are you the representative who prepared the farewell party?”
“Yes, yes…”
“It’s a face I’ve seen before. Is this Lord Demet’s wife? “I think I saw you with Lord Demet once before.”
“It’s an honor for you to remember me…”
Lruel nodded lightly.
“Much better than Lord Demet.”
“···yes?”
“I’m looking forward to the future of the Demet family. It seems like children are born with good fortune. Lord Demet also has great children.”
Should I take that as a compliment that he is better than his father, or as an insult that my father is worse than you, a mere student?
While the student representative was asking such questions, Lruel paid no heed to such reactions and continued to say what he had to say.
“It’ll be a while, but I’ll enjoy it. “It’s a lot of work.”
In any case, the fact that he praised himself remains unchanged.
Considering it an honor, the student representative slightly bowed his head and took a step back… and Lruel walked across the hall.
With all eyes focused on her, the place she stopped was in front of Professor Rania.
“It’s been a while. professor.”
A tone of voice that seems to be spherical.
“Looking at your expression, you seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit.”
“···Is it obvious like that?”
“It flies a lot. “It looks unfamiliar.”
“Cook, cluck,” Leruel smiles.
The eyes of those looking at that are shaking. Even if they have never met Princess Le Ruelle, many of her students know the rumors about her.
An iron-blooded woman who lives in the royal castle.
Some people belittle her by calling her a crazy dog, while others praise her by saying that she is a woman born with the temperament of a king. And, what these rumors have in common is that the first princess Lruel is an extremely cool-headed person.
‘An iron-blooded woman who trusts no one carelessly, pursues perfection alone… and ignores the voices of nobles.’
A person who trusts no one.
That person is smiling as if he or she is truly happy. Also, towards Professor Rania.
‘···Are you also acquainted with the princess?’
It didn’t seem like an ordinary relationship.
A word from the author (author review)
I tried Mac Morning today.
McMorning is a special menu that can only be ordered at McDonald’s until 10:30. It’s literally a ‘special food’ that only morning people can eat…!
For me, who usually wakes up at 11 o’clock, it was something I couldn’t eat even if I wanted to, but today I finally succeeded in ordering it.
I set the alarm, woke up, and ordered a mac morning.
It was so delicious…
