Academy’s Second Seat - Academy’s Second Seat chapter 73

“Levian’s magic book… … found?”

Oliver couldn’t hide his surprise.

Carol nodded at Oliver’s words.

“Luna Railer, that student has it.”

Oliver patted his chin and raised his glasses.

“Luna… … Layla… … .”

“By the way, did you not hear anything? If there was such a unique magic tool, I would have heard the news somehow… … .”

Carol’s words made sense.

Usually, when professors identify unusual magic tools, it is normal to write a thesis or post research materials about it… … .

“Who stopped it… … .”

There were a few faces that came to mind.

Examples include Cromwell and Maguire.

These were the professors who really acted on their own accord.

They did not follow the control of the academy, nor did they listen to what the vice principal or other professors had to say.

I did research on my own terms and enjoyed strange behavior.

Of course, the reason these professors can be recognized even if they want to do it is because they have produced good results.

Therefore, no matter how deputy Principal Oliver was, he could not take care of these professors.

Also, Principal McDowell liked these professors, so they had a lot of say in the academy.

“Is it those guys… … .”

Oliver frowned and stroked his chin.

First of all, now was not the time to worry about that.

Whether Professor Cromwell or Professor Maguire blocked such information can be found later.

What I need to do now is to take up Levin’s Spellbook.

If there was this magic book, the academia would surely be shaken.

A magic tool that activates a magic circle with your mana.

It was a groundbreaking invention and discovery.

The technology that will move the academia, this technology is planned to be monopolized by the Fred family and himself.

And with that achievement, I was planning to aim for the principal position.

So, after becoming the principal, it is not too late to decide what to do with the professors.

“Then what are you planning to do?”

When Oliver asked, Carol sighed.

“… … That is the problem.”

“What?”

“The original plan was to kidnap Luna Railer today.”

At Carol’s words, Oliver frowned.

“kidnap?”

The sound of kidnapping a student at the Academy wasn’t something to be easily overlooked.

The academy had a duty to protect the students.

The students are the dreamers of the empire and the children of the nobles.

When rumors spread that the academy is failing to protect its students, the academy loses its credibility.

Because of this trust, the Academy was able to receive great support from the nobles.

So this wasn’t a small issue.

“Can’t we just steal things?”

When Oliver said so, Carol shook her head.

“There is very little information about that spell book right now. If that Lunar student has certain characteristics and only those with those characteristics can handle the spell book, the research process will be much more complicated.”

Oliver nodded at Carol’s words.

It was quite a sensible thing to say.

If it cannot be used by ordinary people, it will have to undergo numerous experiments to find out its characteristics.

Such experiments were both costly and time-consuming.

“Anyway, what were you planning to do in the first place?”

“I was thinking of using mercenaries.”

“mercenary?”

“I was planning to send mercenaries to set fire to the dormitory and cause a commotion. Then why don’t you take Luna Railer and go outside? All you have to do is deal with Luna Railer as she died in a fire.”

However, there were problems with this plan.

“Luna Railer is an excellent wizard. As other professors noticed. But you can only die with that much fire?”

At Oliver’s words, Carol smirked.

“Isn’t there Principal McDowell?”

“You want me to deal with it?”

Oliver clenched his fists.

It sounds like you’re putting all the blame on yourself.

“Who are you talking about doing that?”

Carol grinned and looked at Oliver.

“Did you forget which family put you there now?”

Hearing this, Oliver’s eyes widened.

“no way… … Was the Astrian family also involved?”

When Astria’s name appeared, Oliver was unable to speak.

Carol smiled at Oliver like that, and clapped her hands as if she remembered something.

“Ah, more than that, the plan is now twisted because of Rudy Astria. Why the heck isn’t he cooperating? Being an Astrian family.”

“You mean that guy? what’s not normal No matter how talented you are, how can Ian Astria tell him that?”

“yes?”

Carol questioned it, but Oliver licked his lips and swallowed.

“What… … You don’t need to know that much.”

Carol frowned at those words, but Oliver didn’t mind and continued.

“Well then, can we bring back the expelled mercenaries?”

Oliver did not like this plan very much, but because it was ordered by the Astrian family, he had no choice but to take action.

If you don’t follow Astria’s instructions, your downfall is only a matter of time… … .

And if Astria was involved, the case of the disappearance of rural baroness women could be passed on without a word.

“Do as planned.”

Some time passes.

“Uh-huh… … .”

Robert was yawning in his lab.

Today was Professor Robert’s watch.

So, even though it was already past time to leave work, I was still in the academy.

But, now it was time to go to work.

Even if you were on duty, you only had to be at the academy until 10 pm.

Professor Robert picked up his ears, feeling the rush.

“Hmm… … Shall we have a drink today after a long time?”

However, it is now late at night.

If you go to the store and drink alcohol, there are no stores where you can buy alcohol.

However, I was worried about the next day due to a hangover to go to the store to drink, and the alcohol at such a store cost a lot of money, so it was a waste of money to buy and return.

“I just want a few drinks… … .”

Robert ate his mouth.

“Come to think of it… … .”

Robert clapped his hands as if he remembered something.

“There must be some alcohol hidden in Cromwell’s lab… … ?”

Cromwell is already a body with a home.

And Cromwell’s wife hated alcohol very much.

It was because the decent Cromwell became very ill when he drank.

However, that didn’t mean Cromwell would give up alcohol.

For Cromwell, alcohol and tobacco were his roots.

“Because he has already left work… … .”

Robert smirked.

“I’ll have to sneak in after the watch is over.”

Of course, I could go and steal the drink now, but I was concerned that others would look bad if I carried alcohol while on duty.

Even Robert, who doesn’t care about people’s gaze, had a certain good conscience.

“Uh-huh.”

Robert hummed in the hopes of stealing Cromwell’s expensive liquor and went about his chores.

“eww… … .”

I stretched out while studying in the library.

And I checked the time.

The clock slowly pointed to 10:30.

“Oh, it’s already time.”

However, there was something strange.

“… … Why didn’t Luna come?”

Why am I in the library?

It was just to give Luna a warning.

I was concentrating on my studies, thinking that if I just study and wait, Luna will come.

But, it didn’t come.

what?

Luna was usually in the library if nothing was said.

If there was something special, he always told me once.

But today, Luna didn’t say anything to me.

“What’s going on?”

I let out a sigh and started to organize the books I had piled up.

“yes?”

Then I heard a voice behind me.

When I turned around, there were Rika and Ena.

“Oh, you’re welcome.”

When I greeted her warmly, Ena looked around with a puzzled expression.

And I asked Rudy.

“Uh, uh. by the way… … Luna?”

“ah?”

I opened my eyes wide when I heard the sound.

“Luna… … Didn’t you have a job?”

“uh? no… … You’re sure to ask us to study at the library… … .”

My heart sank.

Something is wrong.

“uh? hey! Where!”

Ena called, but I started running without looking back.

And I thought calmly.

The Fred family’s carriage is now inside the academy.

A carriage that stays overnight at the academy.

Since the academy was far from the Fred family, it was planned to stay overnight by providing room and board at the academy.

Then, originally, the carriage could go out tomorrow.

Because it was recorded that way.

However, there was something a little different.

6 wagons.

One ordinary carriage stuck there.

No matter how you look at it, it was awkward.

And I thought slowly.

Astina’s absence.

A sudden error in the documentation.

Fred’s family’s abnormal behavior.

Finally, Luna disappeared.

Putting it all together, something started to appear.

They are Luna’s magic book… … Are you trying to steal that spell book?

Or even Luna?

I made the carriage written on the document different from the carriage that came in so that I could go out at night… … .

I thought about it and made a decision.

Now that the time has passed, it was time for the on-call professor to leave the office.

It is already too late to ask the professor on duty for help.

So, the first thing to do is to prevent the carriage from leaving.

Still, I can’t go out right away because I found the error in the document.

The time the wagon was leaving was already written.

However, if they are crushed by the power of the Freds, the guards will not be able to stop them.

So you have to go fast.

I started running quickly to the front door.

Then the students’ voices rang out.

“Fire!!! Fire!!!!”

After the voice rang, smoke began to rise from the dormitory.

“ah.”

I was convinced when I heard the sound.

I have to run fast.
