How to Survive at the Academy - How to Survive at the Academy chapter 186

Ed Subjugation (9)

When Assistant Professor Claire arrived at the watchdog’s office, the smell of alcohol was waving all over.

“…”

“Ahhh-”

It’s early morning, the sun hasn’t risen yet.

She came out of the sudden rain shower and arrived 20 minutes earlier than the originally scheduled time.

The scene she saw when she entered the watchman’s office was that of Professor Kaleid, who was snoring with her head pulled back while sitting on her work chair.

All kinds of cigarettes and bottles of spirits were lying on the desk. It seemed more accurate to describe the interior of the office as a cave rather than a place for people to live.

“Professor Kaleid…”

Senior professors take turns taking on the duty of on-call staff in charge of night shifts at Trix Hall.

This is because some degree of decision-making power and authority are required to respond to emergencies or changes that occur at night.

From noblemtl.net

Most of the work is handled by the advisor and his student as a group, but since the youngest professor in the Elemental Science major is only assistant professor Claire… I had to work with Professor Kaleid all the time.

Of course, night patrols, checking changes, checking major building security issues, etc… All the chores were the responsibility of Assistant Professor Claire. In fact, even Assistant Professor Claire did not feel unfair about this.

However, what makes Claire’s head hurt is Professor Kaleid’s working attitude.

Claire is rumored to be born with one indulgence, but will she pay the price for the fortune she has accumulated?

To that extent, Professor Kaleid’s existence was a disaster for Assistant Professor Claire.

“Professor Kaleid… Wake up…! You have to sign the checklist…!”

Professor Kaleid is sleeping while snoring while completely intoxicated. Even the book was covered to hide the light from the lights on his face.

Professor Kaleid stood up with a squeaking sound and looked at Assistant Professor Claire with blank eyes.

His shaggy back hair is floating, and his beard, which looks rough even at a glance, is sticking out.

They say they’re professors, so they’re wearing white gowns, but… the pieces of tobacco scattered here and there and the traces of alcohol spills make it look miserable.

An elemental wizard of fear who once said that he alone smashed nearly half of the Ain tribe that attacked the capital.

There was a time when even the imperial court’s strict laws could not stop his temperament as a slayer, so he was even called the ‘outlaw’ kaleid…

Now, it was nothing more pathetic than this.

“…are you here?”

Assistant Professor Claire almost had tears in her eyes.

Although Professor Glast had a rather tight temperament, he was an advisor who handled all tasks neatly once he had been given it.

Of course, since he was a thorough human being, it was not difficult to be under him.

However, after receiving a human being who was the exact opposite as my advisor… I think Professor Glast was more like a fairy.

At least because he was the one who had to do it.

“Uh, since when have you been sleeping?”

“Don’t worry. I even remember saying hello to you on patrol.”

“It sounds like you just slept…!”

Professor Kaleid staggered and raised his torso, smashing the chewing tobacco crumbs into the ashtray and spitting it out.

And in order to breathe life into the still drunken spirit, he broke his body once.

“Professor Kaleid…! What if Rachel, vice principal, passes by like this…! You heard that you were in the Trix Hall tonight…!”

“Even so, she just passed by… I vaguely remember.”

“Hey…!”

Vice-Principal Rachel is the second most influential person in the school after Principal Obel Forsius.

Lately, I feel like I’m at odds with Principal Obell, but anyway, from the perspective of a junior professor, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a superior out there.

As Assistant Professor Claire’s complexion turned blue, Professor Kaleid waved her arms as if it was all right.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m with that girl. Hey… A woman who used to tremble at the sight of Ain spies in the war days is now the vice principal of an academy this size. Time is passing.”

“Ah, no… Did I just pass by after seeing this kind of thing…?”

“What are you going to do? She was the one who put me on the watch tonight, which was not planned in the first place. What, suddenly, they say that the number of people is vacant…”

“Oh, right? Whatever it is…”

Professor Kaleid roughly picks up a piece of tissue paper, blows his nose and blows it out, then clumps it up and shoots it towards the trash can in the corner.

After a while in the ready position, he swish and threw the piece of tissue paper, flying in a parabola, crashing into the perimeter of the entrance, and then landing on the floor.

“She’s a scheming woman, but she’s also a scheming woman on a lot of timid subjects. Why would he take the initiative in managing the number of watchlists that only the lowest level employees do? It must have all been intentional.”

“Intention? What is your intention…?”

“Well. It’s obvious, but that doesn’t mean I need to think deeply about it.”

Assistant Professor Claire tilted her head and looked at Kaleid.

He stung his taste buds as if it was unsatisfactory in his mouth, but then he got up from his seat with his staggering body.

“Well… I’ve known her for a long time, so she should know enough about me.”

“If you know enough…”

When you think of Professor Kaleid, what comes to mind is… Most of them are pathetic.

never work for once. To the extent that I wondered if it was really the right thing to pay a salary like this.

“…”

Come to think of it that way, there is something more chaotic than I thought on my office desk.

There were wine bottles rolling around or smelling tobacco powder scattered all over the place.

It’s a plate that Claire has to clear all before the shift.

However, apart from that… there were documents that I had never seen before.

“Hey, what is this?”

“Reporting documents from the living quarters. The living quarters are not under our jurisdiction, so we threw them around.”

“Yeah, but it’s closer to Maxes Bridge…! Isn’t it supposed to be checked…?”

“I checked. Umm… what was it…”

Professor Kaleid opened the bottle of spirits behind the office and spoke.

“Um… Actually, I think I checked it in my dream… I must have remembered it in my dream…”

“please….!!! Professor Kaleid!!”

Assistant Professor Claire burst into tears.

If it was a report that would come up at night like this, there was a possibility that it would be urgent or important. First of all, it’s something you have to put in your head.

It had been left unattended on the office table for hours at a time, so if it gets caught in the upper part, it’s a waste of time.

In order to check the situation even now, it was time to lift the documents without even wiping the rainwater off the clothes.

– Easy profit

late dawn. night shift office.

No one will come in unless they are on duty. It is the time and place

However, the red-brown haired girl who came in through the rain was looking at the two of them with the merchant’s robe hat swung back.

“you…”

“hello.”

At least among those who are professors of elemental science, no one knows the girl’s name.

This is because he is currently a sophomore and also serves as the deputy head of a large corporation… but as a student, he was an honor student among the honor students sitting in class A.

“Who is this? 2nd grader class A is here.”

Poor posture sitting on the table with feet on.

Professor Kaleid, who has just come out enough to be called a model for a bad teacher… doesn’t seem to be particularly embarrassed by her appearance.

“What will happen to the watch office at Trix Hall at this midnight hour?”

Lortel, who came in wiping away the rain, took a seat across from the table, and smiled maturely.

“I was wondering if Rachel was here.”

“I think the first thing I should do is explain how I came up to the Trix Pavilion to look for people at this midnight hour.”

Assistant Professor Claire wasn’t able to say a word at the table.

It was late in the morning when the moon was not even visible because of the rain.

Lortel trudged through them and walked out… because it looked like a ghost.

However, Lortel is a living person.

He looked a little tired, and his clothes were very dirty… but the dignity that flows through the person itself is still there.

Lortel glanced at the paperwork Claire was holding with a squint, and seemed to have guessed what it was just reading the large letters.

“As you reported, something happened with the Elte company.”

“I don’t believe in written reports. I think the credibility of the conversation if it is not directly eye-to-eye is low.”

It’s annoying, so you wrap things up that you didn’t read the written report on.

Assistant Professor Claire seemed to be losing his mind, but Professor Kaleid was just as savvy as he was.

“No matter what Elte Sanghoe is doing in the living quarters, it has nothing to do with us, who are on duty at the Trix Hall in the faculty building… Why did they come all the way here…”

As witty as Lortel, Professor Kaleid lit a fire at the beginning of the year.

“Rachel, that woman has another job. She is a woman full of energy and ambition.”

“…”

“It would have been great if I had the ability to match that. Obel must have suffered a lot.”

As he smoked, Professor Kaleid spoke to himself.

As a senior professor, it is not desirable to gossip about the vice-principal, who is his direct supervisor, so openly.

However, in terms of desirability… In the first place, Professor Kaleid was a human with no such thing as desirable.

“I think things are going to get a little more cumbersome, so I’d like to talk to Rachel, the vice-principal, who is the decision maker on the academic side.”

“You know I’m not going to be curious about the details.”

He talks like that, but he doesn’t explain the situation at all.

Claire was absurd, but Kaleid snorted and gave a satisfied expression on her face.

“I think a report will come up to the bachelor’s department soon. Ed Roth-Taylor and Elte Trading Co., Ltd. are tied up, and it can be noisy over a case of embezzlement of public money. It’s only a pain in the ass when there’s a lot of gossip… I’m trying to deal with it in advance.”

“Ed Roth Taylor? Suddenly, a strange name pops up.”

Professor Kaleid made a slurping sound, lowered his legs from the table, and flicked his toes.

Then he stands up with his hands in his pockets.

As I looked down at Lortel, I felt a strange sense of intimidation welling up.

“Isn’t that the name of the guy who had a little kid during the final exam? If you want to learn some high-ranking magic, I was suggesting that you come to me, but I was so busy that I was running around buying things.”

“I do not know. What happened to the Roth Taylor family is not necessarily your fault.”

“Yeah, well… it’s good to use it. It’s a close political position, and his name is well known…”

Professor Kaleid was of course based on the premise that Lortel’s insides would be dark. It is also judged that the reason that Ed Roth Taylor is related is also that for Lortel, he was an easy-to-use human being.

Lortel was already used to that kind of gaze.

“Honestly, he was a guy who didn’t have anything to be proud of. For the kids, if you come to learn magic, you should feel fresh and fresh. With eyes that are already rotten… He is as blunt as someone who has gone through everything before birth, so there is no taste in teaching.”

“At first, Professor Kaleid, you hardly ever take teaching.”

“No… that’s… noisy, Claire. It’s actually him. Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. Even if you say that you are a disciple who will do well, what does it mean if you don’t learn? It’s a pity for a guy with a bright future, ttt.”

It sounds like a half-drinking tone. Meanwhile, Professor Kaleid was picking up the bottle.

“Still, there are only three kinds of humans that I terribly hate.”

A human being who is not even a professor on the subject of teaching.

Seeing Professor Kaleid smoking his arrogant figure, everyone agreed with one voice.

“A drunkard, one who doesn’t pay back borrowed money. and…”

“…”

“…you bastard playing pranks on my pupil.”

However, in any case, he is a human who has been teaching for quite some time.

Even though he may have become pathetic and old-fashioned down to the bone, he is a human being who draws on the uncompromising line until the end.

The beliefs that remain at the bottom are those that sometimes stick out their heads even when they think they have been completely thrown away.

“Do not worry.”

However, the accepting Lortel seemed rather relaxed.

Originally, she had a relaxed appearance, but she spoke to Professor Kaleid in a calmer voice.

“Because that person is mine. I will take care of it.”

Are you looking around to escape the situation, or are you saying it sincerely?

Professor Kaleid glanced into Lortel’s eyes, then quickly spit out the tobacco and blew a bottle out of it.

After a while, he exhales a great breath as if feeling good with a fuhat sound and speaks.

“It would be good. young ones. There was a time when I too had a fiery love. uhh.”

“…”

“I don’t know how I ended up hanging out with that blunt guy, but where did Jindo go? Judging from the looks of it, it looks like he smashed his lips, and these days, the pace of preparation for children’s lessons is no joke.

– Puff!

Professor Kaleid, who had been hit in the face by the reflexively protruding pile of books, fell backwards with the chair as it was.

The pitcher was Claire’s assistant professor.

“Wow, what are you talking about! That’s a crime, Professor Kaleid!”

Professor Kaleid, who had fallen to the floor in a drunken state, squirmed a few times.

Claire’s assistant professor also missed it. I’m sure he’ll be atrocious by throwing books at his advisor.

No matter how reflexive it was, I think it was overkill… But, unexpectedly, Professor Kaleid just stared blankly at the ceiling and fell down pathetic.

Surprisingly… is he someone I can just deal with…?

With such a strange thought, Assistant Professor Claire was sweating profusely.

In front of Lortel, who seemed to avoid his gaze strangely, Claire spoke quickly.

“Since Vice-Principal Rachel hates the Elte Chamber terribly, it won’t be good for you to meet now. Rather than a visit, it would be better to leave a written note… Lortel…?”

Anyway, I don’t think it’s good to have Lortel and Rachel meet again.

Claire, who had made up her mind, tried to sort things out, but she was speechless.

evil stag beetle. A fox whose secret is unknown. She was a girl who lived only after hearing such stories, and Claire, assistant professor, was also strangely depressed if she had to run into something in elementary science class.

However, when he looked at him subtly avoiding his gaze, crawling, and seeing his face blushing subtly… Assistant Professor Claire doubted his eyes.

Isn’t she a girl who has endured so long in the back world of commerce, where she hears all kinds of terrible news?

She must have maintained her poker face even in the face of much more insulting remarks and self-respecting attitudes…

The way Professor Kaleid endures twisting her body in the slightest lewd slander… She really is like a girl of that age.

Were you able to make a face like that?

Unaccustomed to the sense of separation, Assistant Professor Claire was speechless for a moment.

*[ it’s over. That can’t happen. ]

Raindrops leaked through the outer walls of the broken VIP waiting room.

As a few raindrops seeped through Yenika’s hair, a giant bird-like spirit spread its wings over Yenika’s head and covered it.

– Thuduk, tug-of-war.

The rain fell evenly on Taylor, who was struggling with the collapse.

“aah!”

Time and time again, Taylor pushed the floor to get herself up… Eventually, her body slowly began to relax.

[There is no point in doing this anymore. Let’s wrap things up, Miss Yenica. ]

A horse-shaped spirit with the feeling of being made of clay, Lieutenant Earth Spirit Tyke, snorted and talked.

Capturing the magical powers of Takan, who had been reverse-summoned and disappeared, Yenica quickly cleared up her surprised feelings.

Among the high-ranking fire spirits, Takan was a spirit with considerable strength.

The position of the highest fire spirit, Theorpis, was so powerful that it was impossible to even dream of a phase change to the highest spirit… but among the high spirits, it is a spirit that is respected by all beings.

Even Yenika could not have imagined that such a takan would be cut down.

Takan’s shell, which can easily receive any external shock, has never penetrated with pure firepower, except for Lucy, who came to this Sylvania.

However, that alone was insufficient.

In the end, in order to overcome Yenika’s spirits skill, you have to rely on the advantage of the elemental elemental relationship, but even that is meaningless in front of Yenika, who deals with all the elemental spirits.

strong.

With that alone, even all the famous students of Sylvania cannot show their business cards in front of Yenika.

Yenika, who was born with a strong sense of responsiveness, grew more absurd than expected while interacting with Ed Roth Taylor.

Now, it was not enough to break through with Taylor’s power.

So, Taylor’s journey… ends on the 3rd floor of Elte.

Little by little, Taylor was losing consciousness, and then she completely relaxed from her body.

The effort to get up by clenching your teeth and maintaining consciousness eventually subsided.

“Ahhh…”

When Taylor’s movements completely stopped, Ziggs came up from the stairs downstairs.

There were no serious injuries, so it didn’t look like there was any problem with the body. In the first place, Taylor had no intention of hurting Ziggs, and only intended to clear the road.

“It’s over, Jenika-senpai.”

“yes.”

Slowly counter-summoning the spirits, Yenika quietly nodded her head.

Ed’s message to prevent Taylor McLaugh from breaking through the buildings above as much as possible.

A series of plans to use the commercial building as a battlefield to create confusion, check Taylor’s specifications and, if possible, stimulate his growth, have all been accomplished.

Initially, it was only necessary to block Taylor’s path, but Clevius’s intrusion made things a little more complicated.

Not only that, but Taylor’s willpower was stronger than I expected, which made it longer and more difficult.

“I didn’t know it would last this far…”

“I will take care of Taylor, who has lost consciousness. Go back and get some rest, Jenika-senpai.”

“yes. I need to tell Ed the situation. I’m going back to camp.”

Yenika put the tech supplies back into her arms, shook off her wand, and talked about it.

So Yenika… looked up at the raining sky quietly.

It used to be that the purpose was to test Taylor, but there is a reason why they are so interested in Taylor’s skills.

To put it bluntly, Yenika didn’t have a very good impression of Taylor.

It was because he was constantly showing hostility to Ed or making aggressive remarks. However, if we dig into the cause, Ed’s behavior during the entrance exam was the most fundamental reason, so he didn’t blame Taylor.

It was only that much of an existence, but Ed was curiously interested in Taylor’s specs.

On the one hand, it seemed that he was really praying for his growth… Yenika could not hide her doubts.

Taylor certainly had a strong will and tremendous growth potential, but Ed was not behind in willpower and growth.

If Taylor’s strong growth potential is her destiny as a protagonist, then Ed Roth Taylor’s growth is a result of what I achieved with my own will.

Of course, it is impossible to understand the huge difference. At least Yenika just affirms Ed as a person to person.

So, that was when Yenika was trying to sort things out.

“Ed Roth Taylor is at that camp.”

The boy’s voice, who thought he had lost consciousness… echoed in the VIP waiting room.

Before he could react, a storm of magical energy swept through the entire waiting room.

– aan!

Yenika and Ziggs reacted quickly and passed without much damage, but the exterior walls of the building couldn’t.

In the rain, the outer wall of the Elte Sanghoe building… about a fifth of that was broken by the radiating magical power.

– Kwaang! Aww!

“Keep…!”

Yenika quickly summoned the spirits to block my aftermath, and Ziggs also hid behind the shards to minimize damage from the shock.

In the meantime, the magical powers that surged… must have flown from the body of the swordsman, Taylor.

Swordsmanship – Death Horse

To be realized in ＜ Sylvania’s Failed Swordsmanship >, it is the last foot instrument that is expressed when you are in a final predicament.

It is a skill that allows you to continue fighting for a while by resurrecting in an intact state before all energy is exhausted and you lose consciousness.

It is a deadly weapon that Luden, the first swordsman, devised after seeing the blood sword technique, and it is a technique that usually forgets its existence as it is only activated when it is pushed to the extreme limit.

However, Clevius, who uses blood swordsmanship, and Tailly, who came face to face with a sword… succeeded in mastering everything up to this critical point in a short period of time.

A flame that burns briefly just before he loses consciousness.

That is why it burns more splendidly and magnificently.

– aa

is it swordsmanship? Or did a light beam of magical power pass by?

There were two halves. Nothing else, this VIP waiting room.

– hey hey hey hey!

– Kugugugung!

One clean cut vertically.

Riding on the stained glass, passing the floor… The traces of the swords that continue very minutely.

Around it… this building began to diverge.

“What….?”

Taylor raised the sword again… this time swinging the sword diagonally.

The target is neither Yenika nor Ziggs. The goal is to see this huge building above Elte, which is nowhere to be seen.

Like an egg being cut by a knife… The building begins to fall apart in a very natural way.

– Coogong! Kugugugung!

Buildings begin to crumble as debris and debris fall.

Even if it was the building of the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce, which would have been lavishly invested in, it would just disappear in front of the Sword of the Swordsman.

– Wheeik!

The most urgent thing is to escape from the collapsing building once.

As soon as Yenica and Ziggs made eye contact, they escaped through the window in their own way.

Jigs, who led the wind magic and settled down, and Yenika who came out riding a spirit.

In the vacant lot of the shop where the rain and wind blew, I could see Elvira running out with Clevius to avoid the already collapsing wreckage.

– Coogong! Woo woo woo!

The majestic view of that large building collapsing.

In the sky, you can even see Tracyana, who jumped out through her flying magic.

He even shows the leeway to rescue the employees who were circling inside the company by stealing them with telekinesis magic, but in the meantime, he has a look of embarrassment on his face.

– quagga, go go, go go!

– aan!

The sword strikes one by one are like shooting shells.

At that powerful blow, everyone just stared at it as if it was ridiculous.

Sure enough, it was just a runaway last time before losing consciousness.

If he endures for that brief moment, in the end, the swordsman Taylor will fall.

There is no reason to put any effort into the jaw-knock pattern, which collapses on its own when the time runs out. It is an attack pattern that you can quickly realize how to deal with just by looking at it.

Taylor herself knows. There is not much time given.

That’s why… Above the crumbling debris, I saw a road that stretched out toward the northern forest.

Before I could think of anything, I kicked the floor and ran.

Footprints through the forest and traces of people passing by.

It’s not a single person’s mark. It is the footprint of a strong man and a woman accompanying him.

The opponent is… at the camp in the North Forest.

There is very little time for Taylor. Now I’m on the verge of losing consciousness.

Before that, cut Ed Roth Taylor.

With that thought… Taylor McLaugh ran through the woods.
