How to Survive at the Academy - How to Survive at the Academy chapter 209

Youngest retiree (4)

There were a lot of trivial things, but anyway, the academic calendar was going smoothly.

As always, I am in a position to balance my wild life in camp with my undergraduate life at the academy. That’s why I was twice as busy as others, and it felt like time was passing twice as fast.

Even the daily routine was usually one-size-fits-all.

Wake up early in the morning to check the camp, prepare food, and chat with the early lortel.

I am also very early in the morning, but Lortel gets one more drink and wakes up almost early in the morning and heads to the upper house. This is because they have to go check the inspection documents for the items that are delivered early in the morning.

After sitting by the fire and having a cup of tea for a while, Yenica comes out wearing pajamas with scruffy eyes and prepares for the morning. In the meantime, I prepare my meals together, and in the meantime, I finish the hard work, such as chopping firewood or repairing tools.

After such a short morning, Jenica and I go to school in the 3rd year of Haksa-dong. Most of the classes overlap, so we spend most of the day together. Even I, too, participated in Professor Kaleid’s Class A class, so even the in-depth class schedule of the Ministry of Magic completely overlapped.

Even so, classes change for a day or two a week, and when other plans are made other than the academic calendar, they take separate actions.

Yenika mainly works for the Elemental Research Society, and I often act separately when there is a class convening or something like that. However, whenever I go to the Elte store to purchase survival tools or materials for my skill proficiency, I often inflate my balls as if it is uncomfortable to plant.

Anyway, when you return to camp after your academic year, you still have a lot of work to do.

Even if the camp is left alone for a day or two, there are things that need to be maintained. Most of them require delicate dexterity, so I tend to do them myself.

If it’s my job to check the fishing nets, check the traps scattered around the forest, and organize the food items received from acquaintances, Yenicka is responsible for preparing dinner, laundry, and cleaning the camp while keeping the bonfires out. take charge

At this point, Lortel often returns and is doing paperwork at the villa, but the three of them often eat together. In this case, the atmosphere is not very good.

And at night, I do the homework I received at the bachelor’s degree or study individually, or train to raise my stats. In the case of Lortel, the paperwork is handled at the villa, and Yenika receives spirits from Merylda’s guardian tree, reads books, or similarly performs assignments.

Then, when the moon rises in the middle of the sky, everyone goes to sleep. I usually go to bed late.

In the middle of the night, sitting alone in the camp at night, I have time to organize my thoughts while looking at the bonfire.

Hearing the sound of insects or the rustling of leaves in the wind, he organizes his plans for tomorrow and the future in his head and quietly goes to sleep in the hut.

A repeat of such a schedule… It went on for about a month. It could be said that it had been a month that passed smoothly without any major air currents. Perhaps this daily life, which I could spend without any ups and downs, was the most precious time.

Of course, there were no major ups and downs, but that does not mean that there were no major or minor events or changes.

However, for a long period of one month… There were only three things that stood out because of this.

“… The views are interesting, but the evidence is poor. They don’t provide any measurable figures, they just present the evidence for the claim as another claim. I can do this rudimentary circular argument… ”

[ There are quite a few times when the presentation of an opinion itself is meaningful. Look, this person is saying that the path or trend of money circulation should not be determined solely by the amount of money in the market. In fact, there is more invisible money than visible money. That’s a pretty interesting point of view. If it expands and develops, a more interesting story might come out. ]

The first is that Lucy spends more time hanging out with Merylda.

Speaking of Merylda, she is a spirit whose hobby is always stacking books in the corner of the camp and reading them while humming.

She didn’t even take on the shape of a wolf because it was difficult to turn the book over, and she was always smiling at the corner of the camp as a girl with her white hair tied back.

Lucy was next to Merylda, scanning the book together, acting as if she was trying to increase the amount of knowledge she had in her head.

From noblemtl.net

Merylda was happy that she had more reading comrades, and whenever she had time, she threw up various topics and exchanged stories with Lucy. If I listened from the side, there were a lot of difficult stories, so I didn’t want to intervene.

Well, still, Lucy spends most of her day napping, and whenever she has time, she comes up to me at camp and pats me or sits on a suitable tree stump nearby and wiggles my feet. Human nature is not easily changed.

However, there was something about the work at the monastery… Rather than simple force, I felt like I wanted more fundamental power.

Sometimes at sunset, sitting alone on a tall tree and watching the setting sun, I think it must have been a change of heart.

The second is Tanya.

“Hello, my brother. I’ll borrow your closet.”

Once bored, Tanya is found holding her knees in the closet, revealing that she has escaped from the office whenever the student council is overburdened.

Even so, he couldn’t sit in the closet of someone he didn’t know, but if he was in his room, he was quickly found out and seemed to run away to the camp. It’s embarrassing.

However, it is a wardrobe that is opened and removed several times a day. As he was repeatedly discovered while in it, he began to change positions here and there.

Found under a bed, under a table in a workshop on the second floor, in a corner of a wooden warehouse… It is often found in something dark and somber.

If that’s the case, I told him to just sit by the bonfire confidently, and the answer is also speculative.

“Then you will be caught and arrested… No, well, anyway. I’m comfortable here. that… Should I organize my thoughts?”

“… ”

“And you said it. If you are in a dark and calm space… . Mind… I have to say that I feel ripped off… Because my heart is refreshed… !”

From noblemtl.net

My one and only little brother seeps into the darkness, is it okay with this?

Well, actually, it’s just a brief escape, so there’s nothing to worry about. Usually before the sun goes down, Ziggs comes and takes Tanya, almost kidnapped.

Seeing that even when he was captured by Ziggs, he looked like he was going crazy, so it seemed like there were many cases where he just wanted to cool his head for a while.

Ziggs seems to know this too, so he just repeats the process of catching Tanya without any complaints.

You are so blue… Student Council. I felt a sense of uneasiness in some way.

And the third one was visited by an unexpected person.

“For the past few weeks, I’ve been locked into the library looking for information about Seong Chang-ryong Velbroque and the Great Sage Sylvania.”

It was late at night when we arrived.

It was late at night when even Jenica went to bed and sat alone by the bonfire.

The name of the girl who appeared out of nowhere… Isla Triss.

A girl who appeared as the main face of Madame in ＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> and was always by the side of the main character, Taylor McLaure, supporting him.

Later, with her academic will and background knowledge, she greatly influenced the subjugation of Velbrok, succeeding the will and will of the great sage Sylvania better than anyone else, and a girl who will remain in history for a long time.

“Sir Ed.”

It’s the first time they’ve met since the last riot at the Elte company. As soon as the incident was over, I went to the Cedric’s Monastery, so for a while, we hardly met face-to-face.

As Ayla came and sat across the bonfire, her chestnut hair was mingled with the red light of the bonfire, turning it a soft brown.

Ayla looked at the fire for a moment, then spoke up.

“we… Shall we talk?”

The conversation I had with Isla Triss that night was… It could be said that it was the most shocking of the peaceful months.

In the ending cutscene, she is recognized by a bachelor’s degree as a great sage who succeeded Sylvania’s maintenance.

The Great Sage Isla Triss. He knew that one day he would receive that name and make a name for himself as an academic.

Anyway, I knew that he was not an easy opponent in the academic field, but… The words that followed were outrageous to the point of being ridiculous.

As the bonfire swayed in the wind at night, the shadows of me and Ayla were shaking at the same time.

*- Bang!

So, the bachelor began in earnest during the preparation period for the Krestol Grand Festival. It was a month before the festival started.

Named after the most famous prime minister in imperial history, this festival is one of the oldest in the country. In fact, as it is a festival that has been going on since the time of King Chloel I, it will be held in a grand way in line with its history.

Basically, Emperor Chloel tours the various infrastructures of the empire to encourage and observe the events prepared by each estate or facility. As it is an incline, of course it is noisy everywhere.

“This year’s Krestol Grand Festival has a completely different meaning from the festival four years ago. It is a festival that took place during the change of the emperor’s power, and during this time, Emperor Chloel personally inspects each estate and facilities.”

It was a simple coincidence that I, a member of the Ministry of Magic, even came to the training ground of the Combat Team.

Today, after finishing the day without much change, I just took a different route to the camp than usual.

Originally, it was my usual route to cross Haksa-dong and enter the north road, and then follow the path extending in the direction of the North Forest.

However, today, I had to stop by the Trix Hall to renew my undergraduate scholarship, so I took the route back a little along the northeast road.

And, looking around the road, what you see was the private training ground for the students of Class A of the Combat Team prepared outdoors.

“Now that I have a match in such an important place, I have no intention of making concessions.”

The 4th year chief of the Combat Team, Dyke Elpelan.

In fact, hair that is cut short enough to be close to bare hair looks sleek.

However, just looking at the slender muscular torso and the body that reminds you of a blunt beast when you pretend to look at it gives you a tremendous sense of intimidation. The copper-colored skin looked as hard as steel against the skin of a human being.

Dyke, who repeatedly trains at the personal training ground every day, has long since transcended the realm of humans.

The bandage wrapped around his hand was already torn. Even it must have been changed over and over again, torn pieces of bandages were spread all over the floor of the training ground.

The scarecrows for sandbags that roll on the floor are things that shouldn’t be rolled on the floor like that.

It was made strong by adding several layers of protective magic to resist attacks from students. It was not something that would have been pulled out naturally like a radish rooted out and thrown around in a shattered state.

The air vibrates with a single blow of a full-strength fist, and the ground shakes with a single kick with a shout.

Even the students of the combat team, who have been trained quite a bit, tremble when faced with the 4th year general head Dyke El Phelan.

It felt like I was facing a giant beast instead of a human. Only those who encountered it knew what it felt like.

“I’ve heard a lot about how great you are. Last time, during the final exam, I checked it with my own two eyes. You, too, must have come to that position with your blood-sharpening efforts and burning willpower. I sincerely salute your bloody will and steadfast spirit.”

The meeting was by chance.

It was only on the way to the Trix building that I ran into him clenching his fists at the training ground for the combat team.

But Dyke Elpelan greeted me as if he had promised.

The top is completely undressed. Sweat was dripping down.

Standing still and with arms crossed, Dyke Elpelan lowered her head and spoke.

“However, I have my own circumstances. If we meet at the dungeon, try not to insult each other by touching each other by any chance. A duel is a noble law.”

“of course. Dike-senpai.”

A person who is in the highest grade before graduation and has been recognized for his/her highest ability among them.

Not only that, he was respected throughout the 4th grade.

Traceyana, the head of the Ministry of Magic, who can use high-ranking magic, and Dorothy, the head of the Alchemy Department, who first combined the ‘Cleaning Reagent’… Even they fold a few in front of Dyke… Dyke Elpelan’s name was high.

In the corner of the dungeon at sunset, we stood still, facing each other.

Then, it was Dyke Elpelan who shrugged and burst into laughter first.

“Keep… There’s nothing good about being so serious. However, it was said that he was Tanya Chairman’s brother, so it was a bit of a let-down on this side as well. Sorry for the sudden acquaintance, Ed Rothtailer. Still, it would be polite to say hello to each other.”

“no. I heard that my younger brother is indebted to the student council.”

“Well. I’m a member of the student council and I’m losing more. I am well aware of how much you are contributing to the strength of the student council. Besides, even though he is the president who always says everything he hates when he is about to die, he manages to do everything he is given. As a member of the student council, I am grateful.”

Dyke Elpelan, Senior Action Member of the Student Council.

Even Dyke is said to break stone walls with one punch and crush human bones with one kick… First of all, he was a student member and was under the control of Tanya Roth Taylor.

Whenever she has a chance, she looks like a girl who is missing something because she is stuck in a shady place with a soulless face, but Tanya is also a real powerhouse who has reached that level for the first time.

“However, it is true to some extent that President Tanya is a little worried.”

“Is that so?”

“I am still under a lot of work, but now that the preparation period for the festival begins, the work of the student council will be doubled. To be honest, I don’t think Chairman Tanya can handle the workload alone.”

“Isn’t there quite a lot of manpower in the student council?”

“Still, there are so many things that the student council president has to judge and approve… There will be no reduction in the amount of report papers or review papers. In fact, from my point of view, the fundamental problem is a little different.”

I tilted my head and looked at Dyke. I just asked what it meant with a gesture.

Dyke is directly affiliated with the student council and is watching how things are going. Besides, I’m a little older, and I have a calm disposition unlike my appearance… I feel like I have the insight to intuitively see the cause of the problem.

“There is no proper administrative staff. It’s like an action committee member, a survey committee member, or a facilitator member. You don’t need any skill or experience. Most of the time, they do all the work that needs to be done as directed.”

Dyke talked as he cleaned up the scarecrows he had smashed.

“However, while following the reporting system established in this bureaucratic system, there is an absolute lack of administrative manpower to take the lead in the work. In fact, this is a perennial problem for the student council, regardless of age.”

“Is that so?”

“okay. Due to the nature of the student council, unless you are a student, you cannot join. I will try my best, but it is difficult to maintain a unified reporting system, and people who cannot even organize basic documents into categories are taking their seats as administrative members.”

what is unavoidable You can’t ask for too much of your student status.

Saying so, Dyke smiled bitterly.

“The work piled up like a mountain is ultimately the result of an unorganized work process. If we had a more systematic administrative committee, the burden of work would be greatly reduced. Ziggs is working hard, but there are limits too.”

“Aren’t there some sons and daughters of high-ranking officials in the academy? Have you ever contacted such students?”

“Do you know how precious it is to be a student who can manage administration? After all, they are all led by professors. I will not hand it over to the student council.”

Those who have learned over the shoulder to handle the affairs of this or that bureaucracy from their family members hold them tightly under their control and never give them up.

This is always a problem for the student council, which had to form a cabinet relatively late.

“Hmm… ”

When I suddenly swept my chin and was in trouble, Dyke looked at me as if it was fun and talked.

“why? Are you willing to introduce me to even a decent person?”

“There are a few that come to mind, but… ”

“Shut up. Almost everyone approached it from the student council level.”

“Hmm… .”

I was in trouble for a while like that.

It didn’t take too long to put it into action.

*“Hey, what is all this… Ed… ?”

A renowned senior assistant in Claire’s laboratory.

Because of her old-fashioned light gray hair and aristocratic appearance, bachelor students often misunderstand her as an aristocrat… She is truly a commoner.

I don’t have tuition, so I’m a bachelor’s scholarship student, and I’m living a miserable life by eating the skins of vegetables because I don’t have enough money for food… In any case, she is a girl who maintains her appearance neatly and with dignity.

“It’s just what you see… ”

“This is all… It’s a work report… ?”

Tanya, who was sitting in the meeting room with a sullen face, and Ziggs, who was wiping her long sword in the corner of the office.

Anise Halan, who was looking at the tall tower of documents in front of him… I was at a loss for words, with my mouth wide open.

“Anis-senpai. When I was forming the cabinet, I asked him many times and he refused, but I did not know that he would come to the Obell Hall like this.”

“Oh, no… President Tanya… I… actually… I’m here to properly refuse one more time… ”

It’s been a while since we broke into Dex and brought Anise.

She was counting the cost of living while chewing grass in the student cafeteria… When I suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged him, when I said that I had a request, he blushed and showed a sign of embarrassment.

The student council tried to recruit her several times, but she did not want to give up her bachelor’s scholarship status.

It seems that they only exchanged opinions in writing, but if you bring them to the site and share the story, you may change your mind again.

From noblemtl.net

Most of all, I know because I have been working with her as a bachelor’s scholarship student for a long time.

Chief Assistant Anise Halan… It’s weak at pushing into the atmosphere… ! It’s not too late to think about it after just pushing it… !

“By the way, document categorization is… Why didn’t you… ? President.”

“yes… ?”

“No, that… Rather than forming a work system in such a way that the documents are delivered to the president in a lump sum, it is more efficient to set a date for each day of the week and set the category of work to be processed, right? For example, customs work on Monday, protocol work on Tuesday, student welfare on Wednesday… Like this… ”

“… ”

“Then it will be easier for reporters who are waiting for work to be processed, as it will be easier to predict when the approval for the documents they have uploaded will come, so wouldn’t the work be more efficient… ?”

“… … ”

Tanya crouched and avoided her gaze. In fact, it wasn’t Tanya’s job in the first place.

Tanya is in the position of a driver who dictates the direction of the organization, not as an engineer who polishes each part of a car.

“and… Why does the president alone have the authority to approve all documents?”

“yes… ? yeah… Because I am the final approval authority for all student council affairs… ”

“The president’s review is essential for important matters such as budgeting and policy setting… It is better to give permission to the middle manager to complete the work before it comes to the president for small, everyday matters such as simple purchase of equipment or calculation of activity costs… Otherwise, you will not be able to handle the workload… ”

“Huh… ”

“It is good to actively use middle managers, and to categorize documents and process them in lumps. In particular, it is efficient to collect and process similar items in one day, and you will be able to handle tasks intuitively even if you are instructed.”

Even looking at just a few of the piled-up papers that just popped out, Anise quickly started talking.

And since all of that stuff pierced my lungs, Tanya had no choice but to swallow her breath.

Leading an organization and managing an organizational system are two completely different things.

“Huh… why me… You’re talking like this… Stop habitually… ”

“Anis-senpai. Where have you been, now you are here!”

Tanya clasped Anise’s hands with tears welling up.

When the dignified and famous student council president saw this kind of thing, Anise was also sweating in a cold sweat, apparently bewildered.

“Oh, no. President Tanya. I’m a bachelor’s scholarship student… ”

“I will put a letter of recommendation in the name of the student president to the Glockt Scholarship Foundation!”

“Still, considering the cost of living, I’d rather be affiliated with a bachelor’s degree… ”

“I will personally deduct it from the Roth Taylor Fund to support living expenses!”

“It’s a very unstable choice to change affiliation after looking at private grants… !”

Anise’s words were correct. However, Tanya didn’t care, picked up a quill and scribbled on the paper.

“The amount… like this… !”

“… ”

“… ”

Anise suddenly looked at my face and spoke in a whisper.

“thing… It’s not an amount to refuse… ! What is this, Ed!”

“Are you dissatisfied if I ask you for a job? ”

“Oh, no… Yes, but… ”

The length of the numbers Tanya wrote down is unusual.

Anise was looking at the long stream of ink with a confused expression.

The next morning, Tanya’s face was shining on the podium of the student council.

With the impression that something is softer than before, she is smiling brightly as if she is happy in the world. It seems that even bright flowers are blooming all around.

What happened to the walking corpse, student council president Tanya?

Have you even started dating?

Such a pink slur circulated among the female students, but…

The truth is… It was a bit more realistic.

* Handing the overcoat to the maid of Ophelis Hall, Dyke Elpelan entered the private room and sat down.

As it is a grand and luxurious dormitory, the space is well utilized.

Antique furniture and landscape paintings on the walls. I walked in between them, sat down at the table, and took a long, deep sigh.

In the dark private room, a big man’s sigh spreads. Today’s training was hard, but I can’t be lazy like this.

I suddenly raise my head.

On the wall hangs a portrait of Princess Selaha, who was sent by her hometown, the El Phelan family. It was threatened to be hung in the room.

The student council, the imperial family, and the family.

In the midst of a tangled conflict of opinions, there was only one thing that Dyke Elpelan was interested in. It’s just endless training.

However, you can’t live like a fool who knows nothing but discipline forever.

Dyke leaned back against the backrest and looked up at the ceiling.

The current 4th grade at the Sylvania Academy has a reputation for being the worst generation ever.

Because of the other grades that were full of all kinds of geniuses, the evaluation of Dyke’s generation as ‘hard-working blunts’ was dominant.

hard-working idiots.

When he remembered the evaluation, which was half a mix of praise and cursing, Dyke stopped laughing.

Because it’s not wrong.

Leading the talent to creep more than anyone else, he came this far only by trying to cut bones somehow.

All 4th graders know how hard and painful that effort was. So everyone pays tribute to Dyke Elpelan.

At some point, people called Dyke, who rose to the apex with only one will to cut bones, without any natural ability. It’s called ‘the king of dunjaes’.

Could the title of king be so dishonorable? However, Dyke didn’t even show any signs of being upset.

As if sitting on a throne, he leaned back on a wooden chair in the corner of the room, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Princess Selaha is coming.

The noble princess served by the Elpelan family…

Selaha Einir Chloel is coming to Sylvania.
