How to Survive at the Academy-Chapter 191

After a long night (1)

“Ahhh–!”

It was a bizarre feeling to be called a stretching sound.

Claire, an assistant professor who opened the glass door at the main entrance of the Trix building while looking at the rising morning sun, burst into tears at how pleasant the morning air was.

With Professor Kaleid, who doesn’t even pretend to be a single person, he ended his long, long watch.

Her blonde hair, which had become frizzy from staying up all night, was poking out everywhere. The bright eyes are completely puffy, and the smoked fish dishes seem more lively.

There is no trace of dignity in the way he stretches like an uncle.

Clearly, until a few years ago, Assistant Professor Claire was also a pretty girl with an honors student at the Sylvanian Bachelor, who exudes an atmosphere that is difficult to tamper with.

The so-called wise man time came up when he saw that he was drenched in the waters of society for the first time in a few years, and was not wearing pretty makeup, but tying his thick hair up.

Was the choice to take a teaching position too reckless?

To be honest, even with the fresh morning air that made my lungs cool with tears running down my cheeks, I wasn’t happy with it.

“Are there any records of the dispatch of medical personnel at dawn?”

“Ah yes… A student was injured near the North Forest.”

“Ugh. Did the student get hurt?”

“yes. We have prepared a list of the circumstances report, so you can check it out. There is no need to take any new action as it has already been reported to the assistant principal’s line.”

The next worker, who was going through the takeover process, looked at the full list and clicked his tongue.

“What happened last night… ”

“There were a lot of accidents. The building of Elte Trading Co., Ltd. collapsed on the eastern side of the living room. It happened outside the faculty building, but you still need to be aware of it.”

“Eh, the Elte Chamber of Commerce? How are you? Have you finished the investigation?”

The worker with his daenggi hair hanging down pushed up his glasses and spoke as if embarrassed.

After closing all the doors that were opened for ventilation, Claire came into the watch office and talked.

“They say it was an explosion caused by inexperienced risk inventory management.”

That was a pretty cool answer.

“A risk stock?”

“It seems that the magical items engraved with the explosion ceremony caused a chain explosion in the Elte store warehouse.”

While checking the list, the shift manager speaks as if he is bewildered.

“Elte Sanghoe, who said it had distributed all sorts of items, also makes the same mistake.”

“Well, there were no serious injuries or casualties, but… The financial loss would be significant.”

Assistant Professor Claire said that without blinking an eye.

The reason the Elte Sangha building was destroyed was an accident that occurred during the distribution of goods.

“Is the handover over? Are you off work now?”

Sitting on a chair at the end of the office, with his feet stretched out, a man with a book on his face got up.

It loosens the joints from screaming, and staggers and rises up like a dead corpse.

“Wow, it was long.”

The sign of tiredness after spending the night almost sitting in my seat is the strongest.

In the first place, Professor Kaleid is always a tired looking moron.

“Ugh, you should go back to your room and rest. Is there any beer left in the general store in the living-dong area?”

“Ah, yes… Good luck in. Professor Kaleid.”

“Claire, aren’t you coming in?”

Are you saying this is a confirmed kill? I’m sure I’ll report it and upload the documents.

Claire talked while holding back her tears.

“The school opening ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. In the morning, I had to order the auditorium of the student union hall and check if the users were well prepared for the opening ceremony before heading back.”

“That… ”

After working all night, work piles up until morning. It could be said that it was a situation where tears were covering the front.

Professor Kaleid grabbed Claire’s one shoulder and clenched the other’s fist.

“Fighting! Claire! He said that even when he was young, he had to do hard work!”

After saying that, the back view of Professor Kaleid, who staggered towards the front door.

Watching the drunken man stagger with his hands tucked into the pockets of his white white coat, it makes me want to beat him with a single chestnut.

“By the way, where is the injured student? I’ve been taken over, so I guess I’ll have to check it once… ”

At that time, the next worker asked Claire assistant professor.

“ah… Ed Roth Taylor student? I know he’s lying on the bed in the infirmary at Trix’s right now. Because they say that all urgent measures are over, maybe… ”

“He is not there now.”

“… yes?”

Professor Kaleid, who took out a cigarette in front of the suddenly opened front door, spoke.

“Claire, the last time you went out to check out the safety hazard area, you and Lucy Merrill left Trix. I sat in the watch office and saw it for sure.”

“Oh, no… did you go out? What if you just send it to me! Chuck looked seriously injured!”

“Don’t worry.”

Professor Kaleid, who was smoking, suddenly looked up at the eastern sky.

There was still a lot of dark red energy in the sky, but the darkness was pushed away and the sun was sticking out its head little by little.

“I got my permit from Vice Principal Rachel Sun. Don’t touch him, let him do what he wants.”

*It is unavoidable to be stunned when you see the half-destroyed Elte Company building.

Buildings that have been destroyed in the first place are always a sight to see through the blind spots of accidents.

It is a sight where the structure that seemed to stand firmly in the same place for days or days is falling down endlessly. It is natural to feel as if your daily life has collapsed or the world has completely changed.

Perhaps the workers who came to repair the upper house were all thinking the same thing, and they were all looking puzzled at the building, which now only had half of its shape left.

It’s the last day of summer vacation.

All the students who encountered such a major accident as soon as they returned to school were terribly surprised, but their daily life itself did not collapse.

“You’ve come up with a splendid plan that isn’t like you.”

“No, I didn’t expect it to get this big… ”

No one seemed to pay any attention to me, who was looking inside from outside the iron cage of Elte Chamber, and Lucy, who was standing with her arms wrapped around her.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

At first, the collapse of the Elte Sangha building was disguised as an explosion.

It doesn’t seem like a simple misunderstanding, and I feel strongly touched by the breath of a superior.

Even the appearance of the workers who started the restoration work as naturally as flowing water was dotted with a sense of incongruity.

“This was it. Let’s go to camp.”

“yes.”

Holding me tight, my footsteps were unstable, I walked side by side with Lucy like that.

The distance from Saengdong-dong to North Forest Camp is not short. If I sprint, I can get there quickly, but I’m not in a good physical condition for that.

Lucy looked at me with great concern as I walked around, but didn’t bother trying to stop me. It sounds like you’re telling me to do what’s right.

Lucy, who followed me all the way to the forest while clutching my collar tightly, every time a hanging vine or leaf appeared, she expressed her magic and cut it down.

As I slapped my hand over the witch’s hat as a thank you, and pressed and stroked it, Lucy clasped my head against my forearm to see if she was in a good mood.

Even then, it was difficult to deal with whether there was any realization that it was a shameful thing to do, and it was very difficult to adjust the posture by squealing from time to time.

So we walked through the forest at dawn for a long time.

When I passed this road with Lortel last night, it was in the dark where I couldn’t see even an inch ahead.

But now, as the light of the morning sun, which is rising little by little, seeps through the forest, the subtly shrouded fog shed its light with a mysterious feeling.

As we crossed between them, Lucy’s hair, which had soft white hair, was shining mysteriously at the same time.

Lucy’s hair seems to hold the light like a sponge. At sunset, it is dyed red, and at sunset, it glows softly.

“Hey. I like this forest.”

At any time, Lucy’s words seem out of place.

This is because it is suddenly taken out without warning.

“I like the smell of grass when I walk like this at dawn.”

In the early morning, the sound of grass bugs in the forest, Lucy’s voice also subtly permeates.

“So, I hope it doesn’t disappear.”

“Will the forest disappear so easily?”

“Not the forest, but the smell of grass.”

“When there is a forest, it smells like grass.”

At my sober words, Lucy buried her head in her forearm and sniffed.

Then he closed his eyes and spoke softly.

“Not necessarily.”

It’s not easy to read Lucy’s mood from the subtle change in her expression.

Even I, who has been living together for a long time in the camp, finds it difficult to gauge how she feels, who always has an expressionless face.

It is often difficult to distinguish just by facial expression, so in the end, we have no choice but to analyze the tone of words or actions.

Just because we make eye contact doesn’t mean we’re always communicating directly.

Just like a dog wags its tail, and a cat straightens its tail. What people do when they feel good also varies from person to person.

However, it is not difficult to interpret the meaning of the series of actions of putting my head in my arm, sniffing, exhaling deeply and rubbing my face.

He looks infinitely satisfied. It takes more time and understanding to analyze the reason, but anyway, showing a satisfactory appearance made me feel relieved as well.

“Hello, Miss Lucy.”

That satisfied face quickly turned to darkness.

When we arrived at the camp, we saw… It was Bell Maia, the maid who lit the bonfire first and sat next to it.

The maid chief of the Ophelis Hall.

It was the natural enemy of the Archmage Lucy Meryl.

The satisfied face that seemed to have everything he had seen before was gone, and he started to sweat in a cold sweat with his eyes wide-barking like a cat.

… It was a pretty precious sight.

*“I asked you to check the room assignments within today because the school starts tomorrow.”

“Hey, I was going to. Oh, I will do it today.”

“Fortunately, the. I was worried that he might not show up at the event even at the opening ceremony this year, and that he might go somewhere to take a nap.”

“Hey, I didn’t think of that.”

It looks like the campfire has already been lit and the messy camp is basically organized here and there.

Apparently he went back to the Ophelis Hall late in the morning yesterday, but he arrived at the camp around sunrise and finished basic arrangements.

It was an unbelievable sight even with my eyes open, so I had no choice but to stick my tongue out.

“Are you really sleeping? bell?”

“Sometimes I take a nap in the middle of work, and sometimes I take a sloppy nap on days I don’t have a schedule.”

“Even so… People are not machines… ”

Bell got up in a rather dignified position and nodded his head to greet him.

“How were you last night? Mr Ed. It doesn’t look like that, but… ”

“He was seriously injured.”

“I got a rough idea of this and that situation after I arrived at the camp. I’m glad you didn’t see any threat to your life though.”

In fact, it feels like it’s only been a few hours.

In the meantime, Bell returned to the Ophelis Hall, took a quick rest, washed herself, quickly changed clothes, and returned with a perfect look.

After that, he was organizing various tools that were running around the camp, and erasing traces of riots.

“You just go back and rest. Now is the time to get busy with the students returning to school.”

“yes. Most of the students from the Ophelis Hall have also returned to school, so I don’t think I can afford it anymore.”

“In the first place, it doesn’t make sense to take care of the camp of the Ophelis building while taking care of the camp. Not two bodies.”

“So, for the time being, I can’t devote a lot of time to camp. Well, I came here to see things like that, I also wanted to check if you were okay, and I also had something to tell you.”

Bell was boiling water after placing an iron pot on a cradle above the campfire. In the meantime, I plan to prepare a simple breakfast.

I waved Hansako’s hand and instructed her to just return to the Ophelis Hall.

Bell, who looked at me with a dissatisfied expression on something, nodded that he understood.

“What do you mean?”

“Today, Miss Tanya is returning to school.”

Tanya Rothtailer.

He was at the center of the catastrophe that occurred in the Roth Taylor family.

They said that they sent me back to Sylvania first, and stayed on the scene to rally the forces or take care of the aftermath.

In fact, he is in the midst of stepping on his path as the next head of state.

Although he is in a very delicate position politically, he succeeded in rallying his powers under such adverse conditions.

Rumor has it that even the head of the Bloom River, or even the head of the Callamore, sided with Tanya…

I was wondering what kind of skill he used.

“I would like to meet you once.”

“Of course. Tell him you’re going to the Ophelis Hall.”

After saying that, Bell turned to Lucy.

Lucy, who was holding my forearm, trembled as if she had been stabbed by a sharp object.

“Well then, Miss Lucy. If you want to prepare for the school opening ceremony tomorrow, you need to check your requests from now on, prepare yourself for dressing up, and tell me what you need to know.”

“No, I can do it myself.”

“no. We will help you.”

“no! I can do it myself!”

Lucy, who had said the same line twice, tried to take a step back, but at some point, Belle had put her hands tightly around Lucy’s armpits and held them.

The hanging Lucy was caught by Bell as it was. There was no sign of resistance, whether tears welled up or not.

“Now that I’m really busy, let’s go back to the Ophelis Hall.”

“Aren’t you actually here to catch Lucy?”

“Please. How can I expect Miss Lucy to appear in a place like this? just… ”

Bell spoke without changing his expression.

“It just happened at the right time and luck.”

“… ”

So Bell bowed his head and said hello. There are still a lot of things I want to ask you, but you don’t have to listen to Belle.

First of all, now is the school season. Now, the maids of the Ophelis Hall are returning to their main jobs properly.

It would be better to think of taking care of the camp as a side job during the vacation period.

It’s really comfortable for Bell to take care of the camp, but once you get used to it, it stretches out to me as well.

If you are going to live a wild life, you must not lose your sense of sharpness.

“By the way, what about Lortel?”

One last question to Bell’s back as he was about to leave.

If only the most important question was brought up in last night’s recapture of Elte, in the end, Lortel’s whereabouts were a problem.

“Don’t you know when I see you go to camp early in the morning?”

Bell spoke in a friendly tone.

“She is my employer. It was in the past, and it is now. Please finish the story well.”

Having said that, Bell disappeared through the woods just as he snatched Lucy.

Seeing Lucy not even trying to struggle, I felt faint.

If I were to say that the person in this bachelor who could properly control that Lucy was Belle…

* Even if the dark night is long, the sun rises.

As if to prove that fact, the morning sun with its head raised to greet me.

As the light of dawn slowly creeping in illuminates the camp, there is no sign of the gloomy darkness or the rain that made people somber.

Occasionally, the light reflected from the remaining puddles tickles my eyes, but not so much that it bothers me.

When you look at the entire scene of the camp like that, you even get the illusion that you have returned to your daily life.

However, I know that there is still a lot that has not been concluded.

So many forces intertwined last night, so much happened… In the end, there are only two things that are most important to check.

What happened to Taylor in the end?

What happened to Lortel in the end?

In the end, the answer to these two questions comes down to whether my efforts, which I had put in a lot of trouble last night, paid off.

I lift my head for a moment and look over the bonfire.

In the rain, the figure of Taylor, who was clenching her teeth until the end, standing up, seems to overlap.

First, let’s check the basement of Lortel’s villa.

With that thought in mind, I headed towards Lortel’s villa with my body still a little sore. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

I pulled the door gently and it wasn’t locked. No wonder the bell just came and went.

The scenery you see when you open the door… It was as expected.

“Oh… You’re here early, sir.”

“… ”

“You must have been hurt a lot, but you didn’t want to rest more.”

Traces of a large number of people storming in and searching the inside.

Furniture was toppled here and there, and trinkets such as books and inkwells were rolling on the floor.

The entrance to the wine cellar, which I had hard-blocked, was also neatly opened. At the end of the space that leads to the basement, there will be piles of gold and silver treasures that clearly show the circumstances of Lortel’s embezzlement.

The imperial convoy came and searched everything. And he must have found the whole mountain of gold coins.

However, Lortel Keheln was not escorted.

Sitting on the desk in the middle of the villa, she was smiling softly like a fox.

I set up a rolling chair nearby and sat down. It was difficult for me to stand any longer.

“I have a lot to ask.”

“What happened last night?”

“Of course.”

“Shall I tell you the story slowly, or should I start with the conclusion?”

There was pain in my body, but it didn’t go away. I didn’t want to worry about Lortel.

“From the conclusion.”

“There are three conclusions.”

Lortel spread out three fingers. The index finger was the ring finger.

“Tailey was taken back by Isla. Ayla’s expression looked shaky, but I’ll explain the situation from that level. Maybe we need to meet again and talk about it, but… It seemed a bit complicated.”

I’m catching exactly what I’m curious about. First of all, this is the part that Lucy told me.

Lortel may not even know about Velbroque, which is a surprising intuition.

So Lortel folded her ring finger.

“The embezzlement case of the Elte Company was completely covered up. This is the part that I’m also a bit puzzled about, but I still haven’t figured out how it happened. Anyone who sees it should be the first to be suspicious. I’ll have to check it out when I’m done cleaning up the office building.”

That’s somewhat predictable to me. It probably went as expected.

So Lortel folded the pause.

Then, with a softly stretched index finger, he hurriedly came down from the dining table, came up to me as I sat quietly in the chair, and poked my lips.

Satisfaction blooms in the bewitching smile.

“… .What.”

“The last thing is that I became that person. In a way, that is the most important conclusion.”

Saying that, he immediately hugged my head.

The feeling of the lips overlapping, even me bewildered.

Anyway, she is a girl who is well-versed in attacking people when they are vigilant.

Without even giving me a chance to pull my hair back, Lortel made a long kiss.

It’s not the first time I’ve experienced a surprise kiss, but this time it’s been a long time.

Lortel took her head off her head, holding her head tightly and holding her lips like that for a while.

The sly smile on her face is now like the Lortel I knew.

The figure that had been glazed all night is nowhere to be seen. Rather, it makes me feel reassured.

Eventually, the lines that would come out of Lortel’s mouth were somehow unexpected.

“Is it me the second time?”

“… ”

With a smile like a lady, I answered.

I was in the midst of going through a lot of hardship myself, so I couldn’t help but feel a subtle grumpy coming up again.

“Not the second time.”

“… yes?”

Its bewitching face, which was like an impregnable snarl, collapsed in an instant, and Lortel’s eyes widened.

“… ”

“… ”

“… . So who is the second one?”

As I was about to respond to that, I quietly stroked Lortel’s shoulder.

“Anyway, I’m glad that I confirmed that I was okay.”

Lortel gently wrapped my hand on my shoulder and… I closed my eyes and felt the warmth for a moment.

A vacation home in a deserted camp. There was a gentle warmth in the early morning forest.

Exchanging the warmth of his hands, he stayed still for a while. A strange sense of satisfaction rose between each other.

After a while, Lortel slowly opened her eyes and asked again.

“therefore… Who is the second… ??”

Surprisingly, she was an obsessive girl.
