How to Survive at the Academy - How to Survive at the Academy chapter 193

I thought this would happen (1)

To my mother at home.

Are you in good health? It’s not an official letter, so I’ll call you mother rather than headmaster.

It has been three or four months since I started graduating from the Sylvania Academy. I think I will be able to go through the graduation process without any major problems. Graduation exam preparation is also smooth.

There was a time when my heart was filled with just the fact that Traceyana was on the top list of the Ministry of Magic… It feels strange to think that my long academic journey is coming to an end.

After completing my studies, I plan to return to my hometown and continue my research. The eccentric image of the Bloom River family has been revamped recently, and it has a well-equipped internal research facility.

It must all be thanks to your mother. Thank you so much for always doing your best as a housekeeper.

By the way, as my mother instructed, I am still maintaining contact with Ed Roth Taylor.

Last time, he ran to me in the morning breeze and asked me for a private request, so he even got along a little bit. I went out to help at the level of the Bloom River family… but I got along quite well with him anyway.

As directed, I’m trying to get close to him. But… there’s something I’d like to ask you.

It’s a pretentious thing to say, but isn’t it a politically dangerous choice to get close to the Roth Taylors at this point?

It can also be seen here that the recent treatment of the Roth Taylor family, centering on the imperial family, is a hot potato.

I also heard of the horrors of Crepin Roth Taylor in California.

Of course, the Bloom River family isn’t just a family full of honor, but wouldn’t it be a bit risky to join a family in such a dangerous position?

In particular, the Sylvania Academy is a special environment where children of all noble families are gathered on this small island.

House Chloel, House Callamore, House Whitefelt, House Elpelan, House Enniston, House Nortondale, House Islan, House Shapilon… It’s hard to list them all.

Although the scales vary, they are also families with many famous people in their own fields.

It would be really difficult to count them all by hand if you include not only the sons of nobles, but also the children of influential families.

In a place like this, I feel like my head really hurts when the splitting starts, wondering who is on whose side.

Of course, real politics is always divided, and I know that we cannot be completely free from such power struggles.

But in earnest, if the confrontation between the families intensifies or if they come together to form a power… I think it’s going to give me a headache than I thought.

Please, I think that I want it to end on my own terms. Because I’m a useless, worrying style. I hope it’s an over-the-top concern.

Anyway, I said it because I wanted to express my opinion, but I am basically going to do what my mother said. Just think of it as a minor anxiety.

I will focus on preparing for graduation for the time being. I think you’ll be fine if you don’t worry too much.

The problem is… Patriciana.

I’m helping with the graduation process in many ways… but every time I see him, I think of him.

Is it really okay for him to graduate…?

– Bang!

“Tracy’s sister!”

“…?”

Patriciana broke into Tracy’s room, which was busy writing a letter, with a face full of colors.

When Patriciana gets stuck in her secret laboratory and doesn’t come out from time to time, when she comes to Traceiana’s room in the Ophelis Hall, it’s usually when she’s had an accident or is about to hit.

In this case, it is a situation that is scheduled to hit.

“Look at this! I finished the red forget-me-not reagent I mentioned last time!”

“…”

“You don’t even know it’s a reagent because it doesn’t have much magical power?! Don’t be surprised, this is a really scary potion…! Uh-huh… Uh-huh…”

Red Forget-me-not Reagent, which temporarily gives confusion when fed to the opponent, was given a worse effect due to Petriciana’s special improvement method.

“It’s such a strange magic medicine that you feel hazy and dreary, and you can confide in yourself for some reason, or listen to your opponent’s requests without adding or subtracting because your psychological flaws are gone.”

“…”

“In a way, it can be seen as a love potion. If you want to make sure that the person you like has the same feelings as me, you can mix it with food in moderation and make up your own mind. How about it? How about it? Don’t you think so?!”

Tracyana put down the quill where she was writing the letter, and turned towards Patriciana.

“There are downsides such as having a bit of trouble controlling your body like you’re drunk, or having an accident a bit hazy… But as time passes, it all scatters and disappears. It’s safe! To the extent that I can feel nauseated when I wake up from sleep…?”

“Then what’s the difference from just drinking…”

“….uh…?”

Tracyana took a deep breath as she watched my brother explain excitedly.

“This isn’t the time to make such an insidious potion… Petrin… I need to prepare for graduation…”

“Huh? Well, uh… Well, yes, but… No problem…! Graduation exams will be resolved somehow!”

Traceyana put her head back and narrowed her brow, then glanced at the letter again as she wrote it again.

“Anyway, I need to prepare for a clinical trial. If I explain it to the students in Haksa-dong, I’m sure someone will be interested!”

“You don’t have any friends to do business with, Petrin.”

“…”

At the sudden arrow of truth that flew in, Patriciana wrapped her chest in an ooh.

“Chi, I have a friend.”

“There’s no point lying between us.”

“No, you can make it.”

“It’s only been a few years since that story…”

Yes. Patriciana is not social enough to say that she is hopeless.

Among the students locked in the lab, there are quite a few princesses in the corner of the room who don’t get along with people, but Patriciana was particularly bad at that.

“Your sister… she doesn’t know anything…!”

Confused, Patriciana took a step back, and then ran out of Tracy’s room.

– Kudangtang

– Kick, tick.

The opened door squeaked and swayed in the aftermath.

Tracyana sighed and picked up the quill again. Still, I felt a strange sense of urgency.

Anxiety creeping up on the back with the tip of the nose twitching.

There are times when I have a gut feeling that something, Patriciana is going to have an accident… and that was right now.

I thought I had neglected the training of basic life skills, but surprisingly, there was a lot of growth attached to it.

Is it because he has continued to live a life of survival and has made basic hut maintenance a habit?

Some basic life skills have almost reached the level of an expert, so it’s time to move on to advanced crafting techniques.

“…”

I was sitting by the bonfire in a sweaty state, and after I finished checking the stat window, I wiped my face with a piece of cloth.

As he somehow let out his heavy breathing, he checked the state of his exhausted body again.

It’s been 3 days since the opening ceremony ended.

The wounds have been sealed well, and now I am able to handle daily life as well as tasks that require a lot of stamina to maintain the camp without difficulty.

Due to the recoil of the ring, the magical power that had been limited had almost returned, and it seemed like it was a good time to start training to get stronger.

Above all, the training of life skills has made great progress. Now, beyond simple daily necessities, it will be possible to make a variety of equipment that can be used as a strategic element.

‘Advanced Crafting Skills’

The skill group, which is unlocked after becoming somewhat proficient in the basic life skills, allows you to create equipment that has its own special effects or contains various improvement elements.

These are the skills that the character who invests mainly in the life world takes as the ultimate goal. In many cases, the conditions are very strict.

It took a lot of effort to unlock both the Magic Technician and the Elemental Infusion.

From noblemtl.net

My personal goal right now is the ‘bow making’ skill.

After the skill ‘Artisan’s Soul’ is unlocked, if you use your own bow, you can get much stronger power…

Even my own bow can receive various stat bonuses by itself, so I remember it being famous as a fairly deceptive tech tree. It is also famous as a ‘raw tree’ because it is said to be eaten raw because its power is so strong when it is overlapped with multiple bonus stats in a double triple.

Of course, no matter how good the result is, if it takes too much time to get there, efficiency will suffer.

Lifestyle skills were also neglected by most users because the process of reaching a high level was too arduous and difficult.

In the case of bow making skills… The prerequisites for acquisition are as follows.

Dexterity proficiency level 15, carpentry proficiency level 15, design proficiency level 15, hunting proficiency level 20, repair proficiency level 10. Bow series proficiency level 15.

When all of these conditions are met, one advanced crafting skill slot will open and bow crafting will be possible.

I’ve had that uproar for the past years, but now I’m at level 18 for woodworking proficiency. Even though it doesn’t seem like there hasn’t been a day that hasn’t touched wood for a long time.

However, to raise the proficiency of not only woodworking but also those numerous skills to 15 or higher was, frankly, too cruel.

“Hmm…”

If I only raise my repair skill a little now, I will be able to make my own bow.

There is nothing particularly difficult about sourcing materials. I remember everything about high-performance bows.

Beast slayer, thunderbolt millennium bow, cohelton shortbow, etc… But whatever it is, it’s important to be your own.

Fortunately, unlike magic equipment, it is a good thing that no recipe is required.

“Ed, are your wounds okay?”

“It doesn’t hurt at all? I don’t think the wound was that deep compared to the amount of bleeding.”

“I’m glad…”

Well, the bow isn’t the problem right now.

As for Yenika, she wasn’t sweating profusely, but… she looked like she had a lot of energy.

Looking around, half-baked logs were scattered all over the camp.

It is so thick that it is much thicker than that of several people lying on top of each other.

After the morning class was over, Yenika and I had come to camp and had been trimming logs all day.

It was quite efficient because cutting down trees was done by magic and transporting mainly by spirits… but the effort is the same.

Still, I felt a sense of emptiness. When I first built the hut, I had to spend almost a few weeks trimming these logs.

However, now that I am collaborating with Yenica, the efficiency is not at the level of two or three times, but a hundred times and a thousand times.

“I’ll have to redraw the design drawings first. Building a poor hut and building a proper two-story building are different from the difficulty level.”

“Isn’t it better to leave it to the experts?”

“Well, I can get help with the design part… but I thought it would be better to make it myself.”

The reason why there is such a fuss is that work is underway to expand the hut.

He was planning to raise the building neatly from a simple one-story shabby hut to a proper two-story hut.

Lortel made an offer to build it himself, but I declined. There are two reasons.

One is that the proficiency and experience points of life skills that rise after completing such a huge construction project are enormous.

Second, since this is my camp, I want to expand it with my own hands.

As a result, after the bachelor’s class was over, it was a continuation of the work of trimming logs all day long.

“If possible, I’d like to give it the feeling of a well-finished building rather than a rough log cabin feel… But it’s too much for my line. I can’t help but feel a little rough.”

“That’s great enough, Ed!”

In fact, the spirits of Yenika, who would not be unreasonable even if they provided 100 people’s worth of labor…

Isn’t it surprising that he likes to work?

Let’s think of such a bizarre thought. Since they are spirits, people can’t always have the same mindset, right?

“But… you have to take care of the academic life as well. Ed is an honor student, but if he loses too much stamina, isn’t it difficult to take classes?”

“It’s okay. Now I feel like I’ve gotten a bit better at distributing stamina. There’s still a lot of work left to do, so I’ll have to sprint up a bit more.”

Saying that, he took a deep breath and took a deep breath. It felt like I had exercised properly in a short time, so I felt a sense of upliftment that warmed me up.

As her body is drenched in sweat and resting, Yenika crouches and touches her fingertips.

“If it’s very hard, you can take a break. It’s not urgent to expand the cabin. Just do it at your own pace.”

“Oh, no… it’s not like that… But, there’s a lot of work left to do?”

“Well…”

I thought about what to answer, and decided to just do it.

“It’s just, your college life is very busy.”

Now, at the point where the scenario is also coming to an end, we had to start preparing for Seongchangryong Velbrok.

The most important thing is to unite powerful families and various powers… but I don’t know where to start.

On the clan side, it seems that Tanya is using some skill to bring them together.

I’ve heard rumors about it, but I haven’t been able to check it myself.

I heard rumors that Tanya had returned to the Ophelis Hall as school started this semester, but I was busy taking care of her injured body, and Tanya was busy with the student council president and family affairs, so I couldn’t meet her properly.

Still, my blood-stained little brother came back, so it’s not right to have my face painted.

Tanya will be very busy, so I thought over and over that it would make sense for me to take the time and visit the Obell Hall. I just didn’t have time.

Once you meet Tanya, you will probably be able to share the story of the gathering of forces. Detailed policy will be decided after meeting.

On the side of the imperial power, there is Princess Penia. It seems to me that you have been in a fairly favorable position, so I am more reassured than I thought.

However, the imperial family is in the midst of a dispute over imperial power, so I don’t know how far they will be able to trust and participate in my story.

The most likely place is… the Telos Church.

“For now, let’s finish today’s work at this point.”

I said that while wiping away my sweat.

“…”

Saint Clarisse will most likely believe anything I say about Seongchang Dragon Velbroque.

If that’s the case, then, the forces of the denomination that she is gathering with… will give you that power more easily than you think.

The problem is, timing out such a serious talk. St. Clarisse was more than I expected, and she was a newcomer.

Sometimes as Saint Clarisse, sometimes as Kylie Ekne, a childish noblewoman, she is a college student.

Because they flash from east to west, they cannot meet properly. In the first place, it is difficult to schedule a private meeting because of the huge difference in status. This part is the same for the princess.

First, let’s try to find her somehow. Saint Clarisse’s help in subjugating Bell Broke is absolutely necessary.

*”I… I’m going to go to the Cedric’s Monastery for a while… Huh…”

As if reading those concerns, Saint Clarisse came to the camp in the hut that evening.

As if he had come secretly, he was accompanied by only a couple of key guards.

“…Yes?”

“I was told that I did not have to attend this year’s prayer meeting… At the academic level, they said that they would give me public honor… What, I don’t need such kindness…”

She was always kind and courteous among students with a loving and mature appearance.

Hanging white hair or a red bow hairpin that looks sacred is still the same even after a long time. Doesn’t each one look like a luxury item?

However, Clarisse, who appeared at the camp, was in a state of drowsiness and weeping.

“Of course, as a saint, hosting a prayer meeting is very important and sacred work… It’s okay to spend a year immersed in the romance of a bachelor… “

“…Saint…”

“Besides, Kledric’s Abbey is a place where the food is terribly tasteless, and there’s really nothing like this…”

Even if you are not a member of the Telos Church, it is a famous place that everyone has heard of at least once.

Not far from Sylvania. A place that goes up along the western coast of the continent and comes out at the end of the Count of Fes.

The majestic monastery built on a small rocky island off the coast… There is no bridge to it, and there is no dock for ships.

However, twice a day in the coastal area, the sand road leading to the monastery is opened due to the difference in tides.

It is a place that can only be entered for a brief moment… It is a place that feels completely detached from the world. It feels like a land of great religious significance.

Although the size of the rocky island is small, the scale of the Cedric Monastery built on it is enormous. In addition, since it is a strict Geumnam area, men cannot even approach the area at all, unless the highest-ranking clergy, who can be recognized by name, or workers for maintenance are forced to enter. At least it was a success or an Archbishop.

“Besides, I heard that, for some reason, a lot of distinguished guests attend this prayer meeting… I think I’ll have to cry and eat mustard.”

“The distinguished guests?”

“Yeah… A lot of distinguished guests usually come, but it seems that there are people with higher stature this year.

“Specifically, who is coming, and you’re calling the saint while you’re repeating the words like that?”

St. Clarisse took a deep breath as she looked at the bonfire and answered.

“A lot of people come here and there… but, yes, if we had to pick just one representative…”

The name that came out next was a familiar one.

“It is said that the Princess Persica of the Chloe family is personally coming.”

I quietly narrowed my brow.
