I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 25



Only Noblemtl

Episode 25

Episode 25. Clowns, heroes, and parrots (7)

Elester continued speaking.

“The class of nobles makes up less than 3% of the total population of the empire. “There are only a very small number of people who make decisions, so what happens if those people implement policies that are just nonsense?”

“… … “I’m ruined.”

“you’re right. Therefore, we need to think about the common people and the low class from their perspective and improve the system. “Do you all understand?”

“yes!”

It was Elester who had returned to the form of a benevolent teacher.

He looked at me and said.

“Zero, that was a very, very good answer. We give the store 2 points. And I will give one penalty point to Mr. Teron and Ms. Euridia.”

“yes!?”

“Uh, why… … .”

“Do not belittle the duties of a nobleman. You must take responsibility for the words you say. “That is what nobility is.”

Teron and Euridia turned their heads and looked at me.

The two children’s eyebrows were twitching intensely.

Only then did I realize.

Why is Elester, my number one favorite teacher, acting like that?

‘… … ‘You were trying to harass me.’

It’s not an illusion.

Teron and Eurydia’s answer is ‘excellent’.

Rodelin is ‘very good’.

And I’m ‘very, very good’.

In addition, the behavior of dismissing bullshit as the correct answer.

The intention to push me was clearly visible.

Even though I was a dead person, I had no idea what he was thinking.

“It doesn’t seem good to use invisible pressure to take away other children’s right to speak. “Be careful next time.”

“… … .”

“We have very high expectations for you. I hope we can work together to achieve good results. “Okay, let’s end the class here.”

Elester has left.

There is a lot of coldness in the class. No one dared to open their mouth.

“Hey, would you like it? “I also get a store.”

That is, except for our Luna, who was paying attention.

“If I keep doing this, won’t I get first place on the midterm exam?”

Teron and Euridia’s shoulders flinched at the same time.

They were the heads of each group, but they also carried the family’s honor.

If you don’t get first or second place, it will be a huge blow.

Aside from faction fights, the thing I’m always concerned about is grades, so you’re messing with that.

Luna’s accident had to be resolved.

“Miss Luna, I have more demerit points than the store. How can I… … .”

“Oh, the one you got from Teacher Charon? But they said if you do well in practice, they will get rid of it and give you a store. “With your skills, it’s like the store is going to be copied twice.”

Shake!

Thump thump!

Teron and Eurydia stomped their feet and left the class.

The children followed them, somewhat hesitantly.

Of course, he didn’t forget to glare at me and leave.

In an instant, half of the place was empty.

Luna saw that and scratched her head.

“What, why are they like that? “Are you hungry?”

Yes, that’s right. It’s Luna.

Why on earth are you doing this to me?

* * *

“Well, are you here?”

“Yes, I returned a little while ago.”

Charon slightly bowed his head towards Elester.

“What did you say?”

“They said they couldn’t hit it right now. As you know, the justification for leaking exam items is weak… … .”

“I guess so. Still, leave some evidence. “Sometimes little things can add up to great power.”

“Yes, I understand.”

An investigation into an incident that occurred at the academy.

At the same time, it is necessary to determine the number of cases that can lead to the dismissal of the current president, ‘Dwener’.

That was exactly what Elester came here for.

‘I knew it was a parachute, but… … ‘He’s a lot more incompetent than I thought.’

Maybe it’s because I don’t have the skills to do it, but I don’t act carelessly.

Only orders received are processed consistently.

But I can’t get rid of it because it’s full of little things that are embarrassing to even talk about.

This is Annwood Academy, which nurtures future talent.

How could such an incompetent person be appointed to such a place? I can’t believe it.

‘Your Majesty has no reason to be worried. But what was the Herizes family thinking when they put such a person in that position?’

This is a question I’ve had since meeting the president.

Soon, Eleister decided not to think too deeply.

Because causing trouble may be their goal.

“… … “The atmosphere is strange.”

An excellent class that has just finished class.

The children who came pouring out naturally split into two groups and walked down the hallway without getting into a fight of nerves.

It was Charon who immediately saw that their mood was not good.

“Hehe, I added some seasoning to the bait called Zero-kun. “And it’s a very delicious seasoning.”

“… … Is that so.”

Charon swallowed internally.

This was why he was afraid of Eleister.

A raccoon in aristocratic politics.

Although his magic skills are great, he uses his tongue to probe into the opponent’s weaknesses and toy with them.

Solid logic, natural gaslighting, and even a temperament that likes fighting and arguing.

Charon, who made a living from his body, had no choice but to be picky.

Moreover, he caused this situation.

“… … “I guess you like that kid.”

“Kuk, that’s not true. “I was just a little, just a little bit interested.”

Elester is a girl who enjoys watching the child she likes grow up in extreme situations.

Besides, this is an academy, not a political world.

Most things can be prevented with Elester’s line.

Zero will gradually grow under his protection.

‘Or, it breaks in the middle.’

Elester is a good person, but he is not a good person.

Charon knew that well.

“The time for the first choice will come soon. “Which side do you think you will choose?”

“Maybe it’s the Teron side?”

“well. It could be Teron, or it could be Euridia. or not… … .”

Elester’s eyes lit up.

“We might create a third group.”

“… … This is speculation. “That’s impossible.”

There was a lot he wanted to say, but Charon kept his mouth shut.

How dare you blurt out your true thoughts.

It was impossible, but it was also virtually impossible for there to be a third group.

‘Because there’s never been anything like that in the history of the Academy.’

Every year, they split into two factions and fight, with one side collapsing or graduating on equal terms.

‘If such a thing is possible… … .’

There will be only Rodelin.

In fact, the current second year was in quite an unusual state.

Last year, as usual, we were divided into two factions. But I couldn’t fight.

‘Because Miss Rodelin blocked it.’

This means studying or training during faction fights.

There were people who refuted it, but not anymore.

Because I killed half of every opponent I ran into.

The two factions expressed their intention to crawl under Rodelin, but she left, expressing doubts.

The Lucid family is the emperor’s sword.

It was a family that was more interested in fighting and magic than politics.

Asking them to lead the faction they belong to must have sounded like bullshit.

In the end, the two factions of second-year students were living quietly, avoiding the lion named Rodelin.

Perhaps it can be said to be even greater than creating a third group.

Because Rodelin is alone.

“But this world isn’t something you can live in alone. In that respect, Miss Rodelin can be said to be a big minus.”

“Do you think that the child who creates the third group is more amazing than Miss Rodelin?”

“That’s right. Moreover, when two huge groups already exist, you create a new group and compete with them?”

Absolutely.

You could say he was born for politics.

“Actually, what I’m looking forward to is the other side.”

“what… … “Are you thinking about consolidating the academy?”

“haha! I didn’t even think of that. “That would be really fun.”

“I think there is a possibility. If Miss Rodelin puts her mind to it… … .”

Looking at Charon like that, Elester thought.

You never know.

Someone who created the third group.

I might put a leash around the neck of a lion named Rodelin.

* * *

“Let’s hang out!”

“Hehe, I reject it.”

I used my arm to push Luna’s forehead as she ran towards me to go play.

“This, this!”

Luna flaps her arms wildly, but cannot reach them.

The height difference is at least 25cm.

“devil! devil!”

As soon as I left the class, the parrot landed on my shoulder as if it had been waiting.

“Hehe, are you here? The final day is tomorrow. “Be prepared.”

“devil! Save me! devil!”

Did I feel better? The parrot flapped its wings wildly.

‘I will say goodbye to this guy tomorrow.’

My heart feels a little uneasy.

It’s not because of the sadness of parting. There’s something that’s making my chest feel tight… … .

‘It was because of that.’

Elester and Charon can be seen looking this way from a distance.

Charon’s eyes were burning. He has the power to kill people with his eyes.

My heart couldn’t help but feel strange.

‘That’s good. I already needed insurance.’

He lowered his shoulders slightly and whispered in the parrot’s ear.

“Parrot, remember what those two look like. “If I ask you later, you will bring one of those two.”

“devil?”

“Hehe, that’s right. It’s team play. “You know, right?”

“tea! team! paly!”

The parrot clicked its beak and let out a sigh.

Yeah, I thought you remembered.

Because you are set up like that.

now.

All preparations for the attack on ‘Devil’s Piece’ have been completed.

Parrot’s Memories #1

“mind! say it!”

“Kikigeek! Squeak! say! say!”

“… … .”

A sigh came out of my mouth.

The same goes for this guy. It’s not about thinking and talking.

just.

‘I’m just following what you say.’

I spread my wings.

By flapping my five-colored wings, I was able to quickly ascend to the sky.

Yes, I have wings.

It’s natural. Because I am a parrot. however.

‘Why am I the only one who can think?’

I knew this before I could fly freely.

That you are a special being.

A parrot that can think like a human.

Although my speech was a bit slurred, I was able to communicate well.

The problem is, other parrots don’t.

‘It’s so stupid.’

Eat, shed, sleep, reproduce.

That’s all they care about.

So I decided to leave.

I couldn’t possibly get along with them. Because you are a special person.

‘Let’s find a friend. ‘A friend who suits me!’

And so the long journey began.

We met many parrots and then parted ways. But she knew there was no one like her.

The busier I was and the longer the trip, the worse my physical condition became.

Still, I didn’t give up.

Because the desire to have friends was greater than the exhaustion.

‘Is there really no one like me on this wide continent?’

This is the place we arrived at as we continued our journey.

Was it called the Academy? I think so.

It was a place with a lot of children.

‘I guess I’ll have to base myself here for a while.’

There are naughty kids, but there are more good kids.

You won’t have to worry about eating.

It was a time when I was scouting around and taking stock of my surroundings.

A child being bullied was caught in sight.

From punches to kicks.

Since I saw it often, it didn’t feel special.

I just can’t understand why they behave so poorly even though they are of the same race.

“okay? Tell him to drop out. “Because I don’t even want to see your face.”

“Sigh!”

The bullying that seemed short but long is over.

The beaten child stood up, dusting himself off.

The child was smiling. He laughed even though he was hit.

I thought he was such a strange guy.

“hi?”

He found me and said hello.

Only then was I able to see his face properly.

I immediately knew why the other kids were bullying him.

He was an unusual child with very small eyes.

But a human saying hello to a parrot?

‘Is he crazy?’

No, he was clearly crazy.

It’s best to avoid crazy people.

That was the moment when I spread my wings wide.

“Would you like to be friends with me?”

Friends?

The sound of words. No, the tremors were enough to stop my movements.

This is Luthers.

It was my first meeting with that child.
