The Genius Professor Wants An Easy Life - The Genius Professor Wants An Easy Life chapter 113

Tern said hesitantly.

“that… “I’m here because I have something to discuss.”

“to me? I’m a professor at the Department of Magic? “I don’t know swordsmanship.”

“This is not swordsmanship consultation. if… “Can we talk quietly, just the two of you?”

I looked at Tern’s face.

‘Is he already in trouble?’

Tern is the sub-main protagonist of the Knight School.

All of the sub-main protagonists experience great adversity.

However, the words that came out of Teren’s mouth were completely unexpected.

“… “Is there any way to get a refund for the money I lost at the casino?”

“… what?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

After a moment of silence.

Tern suddenly stood up with a red face.

“Huh, sorry for talking nonsense! “Please pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“… Wait a minute. “Did you really lose your money at the casino?”

“… yes.”

Tern nodded with a very embarrassed face, and I felt embarrassed.

‘How did Terne, the main character of a good life, end up in a casino?’

Terne’s nickname was the no-fun protagonist.

It’s just that it’s not fun because it’s perfect and prosperous like Eom Chin-ah.

‘Of course, this only happens in the beginning, but later on it’s a huge slap in the back.’

If Joanna, the same sub-main protagonist, ‘falls’ if left alone, Tern will ‘fall’.

However, that is not the case right now.

It wasn’t this kind of corruption.

Something was strange.

“Let’s talk about it in a little more detail.”

Tern hesitated and then opened his mouth.

“in fact… .”

When I heard it, there was nothing special.

Terun is a tough guy, like a tough kid.

I had a lot of friends, and I went to the casino because I was swept up in the atmosphere.

‘This is something that could happen. It’s not like casinos are banned for students.’

For reference, the Empire recognizes people as adults at the age of 18. Since it is full age, in Korean age, 19 to 20 years old is considered an adult.

The new students are 17 years old and not yet adults, but they are recognized as having the authority of semi-adults.

Moderate drinking and entertainment are overlooked.

So, the story Tern just told was something that could happen often.

‘The problem is not just the enjoyment of entertainment, but that Terne, a model student, got drunk and gambled maniacally at the casino.’

Even the amount lost was large.

A whopping 30,000 pena.

It was close to my salary as a temporary professor for 10 years.

It was too much money for even a member of an aristocratic family to lose in one night of gambling.

“Was there any illegal content? There were drugs mixed in with the alcohol? “I was scammed or something.”

“Well, I don’t think there was anything like that.”

“Hmm.”

I crossed my arms.

If you just listen to the story, it doesn’t seem like the casino did anything wrong.

It’s just Tern’s fault for being young and drunk and not being able to control himself.

“Well, there’s no way, right?”

“I’m sorry. If what you say is true, I don’t think I can help you. “It would be best to contact the family to resolve any money owed to the casino.”

“… All right. I’m sorry to have been troublesome.”

Tern suddenly disappeared with his shoulders drooping.

He seems afraid of disappointing the adults in his family who have high expectations for him.

However, no matter how much I did, there was really nothing I could do to help in this matter.

‘How do I get a refund at the casino?’

I shook off my thoughts and leaned back in my chair with my arms crossed.

Since I had nothing to do, I was thinking of taking a nap.

“… … .”

I couldn’t sleep.

Something was unclear.

In the end, I decided to ‘investigate’ this incident as the head of the counseling department.

“Are casinos popular among students these days?”

“I don’t know? “I’m not interested in that kind of thing?”

“… I don’t know because I don’t have any friends. Okay, it’s okay. Even though I feel lonely, I now have a professor… .”

I asked Catherine and Rivelle, but both of them were loners with no friends.

I didn’t know anything.

This time I met Julia and Wilhelm.

Now that I think about it, these two often go out together secretly.

“Casino? It’s crazy these days. It’s a pandemic. “I also went often.”

“Well, I’ve only been there a few times! With this, the prison… ? “No, right?”

“It seems like professors go there often, but has Professor Ban ever been there?”

“… “I’m busy with research, so I don’t have time to go.”

“hehehe. “If you don’t have any friends, can I take you with me?”

“It’s not that I don’t have friends.”

I answered clearly, but I was worried for a moment.

thinking about it… I had no fellow professor friends!

I didn’t click my tongue when I saw Catherine and Rivelle.

‘Well, well. Because friends aren’t that important. are you okay. ‘I don’t care.’

Anyway, I asked Julia for more details.

“There is a newly renovated casino, and in addition to just gambling, there are many fun events that attract a lot of people to visit.”

“Well, I just went to have fun too!”

“They say that sometimes there are kids who can’t resist the excitement and bet too much and lose a lot of money. “Aren’t they stupid?”

Even though every word of it was correct, I still couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort.

It was because of Tern.

‘Although he ‘corrupted’ later, Terun, Umchina, can be said to be the ultimate in moderation. ‘I’m just not the type to lose my temper at a casino.’

There was another reason I felt uncomfortable.

This was due to the identity of the top that owned the casino.

‘Top of Füssen. It’s the cooperation center of the Rafalte dukedom.’

It is not the highest level under your command.

If we compare it to the Earth, what about the partners below? subcontract? It was a place like this.

That was fine up to that point, but there was a noticeable change recently.

‘I heard that the casino was extensively renovated after a member of the Rafalte duchy was dispatched as the general manager.’

It was a hunch without any basis, but it smelled bad for some reason.

I decided to dig a little deeper.

First, I asked Amanda for a favor.

“Can you do some research on Paradise Casino?”

“I already know very well, my benefactor.”

“how?”

“I’m a regular. “I often visited with fellow professors.”

“… With fellow professors?”

“Yes, why are you doing that?”

“… no.”

Even that gloomy Amanda had a professor friend!

‘Am I the only one missing, Professor Friend?’

Are my relationships okay?

“The benefactor is such a noble person, like an orchid on a cliff! It’s just not accessible to everyone! Or, would you like me to go with you?”

“… done.”

‘It feels worse to be considerate!’

Anyway, after asking around with people I knew, including Amanda, I discovered one more puzzling thing.

‘There are quite a few people who have been robbed.’

This too could have been speculation.

It’s not uncommon for people to lose money at casinos.

However, even taking that into account, the number seemed to be large.

‘Especially people who would never normally do this lost a lot of money.’

In addition to Tern, there was Professor Bernstein as a representative example.

“Professor, did you also play at the casino?”

“I didn’t do it originally. “I just visited for fun with a fellow professor from the lab next door.”

“How much did you lose?”

“… “Don’t ask.”

Professor Bernstein frowned with a sad expression on his face.

‘No, if you want to live a long life with Lord Sienna, you need to manage your wedding funds well. Of course, what kind of relationship the two have is just my guess.’

People like Terne and Professor Bernstein have impulsive disorders in casinos.

Is this a coincidence?

I came to a conclusion.

‘There’s definitely something there.’

There was a reason why I came forward.

If it’s true that there’s a really dirty trick involved.

This could have been my chance.

‘The Füssen Merchant Marine has a 0.4% stake in Rubines Academy.’

The 50.3% stake in the Duke of Lapalt did not belong to the Duke of Lapalt.

This includes the shares of the cooperative forces below.

Therefore, if a problem arises at the top of the cooperation, the majority share ratio will also collapse.

‘Let’s go to the casino and see for ourselves.’

However, I was silent for a moment.

There was one problem.

‘Who do you go to the casino with?’

In the empire, casinos were more of a social entertainment enjoyed by everyone.

‘There are only two types of people who go to the casino alone. Either a severe gambling addict or a friendless loner.’

Of course, I don’t mind being seen as a friendless loner.

Well, well.

What’s wrong with that?

However, they were just concerned that it would look suspicious.

really. really.

‘… I hate Hans. Should I ask Sister Mariam for a favor?’

While I was thinking about it, there were people approaching me.

“Hmph, if you’re interested in the casino, I could go with you? Well, I also wanted to go to the casino.”

“Oh, no, I will go with you. I know that sometimes you need a change of pace. “I’m curious about casinos too!”

Catherine, Rebel, you bastards!

In fact, he has no interest in casinos, but he is considerate of me!

“… I’m not alone. “I have disciples who share my loneliness.”

“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”

“no. let’s go.”

It was a sortie.

* * *

At that time, the commercial district of District 2 of the Free City.

As expected in District 2, where the wealthy live in the Free City, there were ornate buildings on neat streets.

Paradise Casino has been a hot topic in Changan recently.

The popularity wasn’t just limited to the academy; it was crowded with people other than students.

Two figures were having a conversation on the top floor of the building.

“How are your recent sales, top seller?”

“It’s increasing exponentially, Commander.”

Strange conversation.

The head of the top is a superior, and the commander is a subordinate, but the way they spoke seemed to have been reversed.

It was even stranger when I saw it with my own eyes.

A middle-aged man was struggling with a pale blue boy.

There was a reason.

“This is all thanks to Prince Senin. He is, after all, the successor to the Rafalte duchy.”

Senin!

He was the heir of the Rafalt duchy and the sub-main protagonist of the merchant class at the Hero Academy.

Why did he suddenly appear in the Free City when he was supposed to be attending another academy?

‘Damn you, anti-Ecclesia. I got suspended from school because of him.’

Senin gritted his teeth inwardly.

Previously, Senin had visited Rubines Academy as part of the Amethyst Academy student council.

At that time, while trying to frame Ban, the truth was revealed and it backfired.

-You dishonored Amethyst Academy. Pay the price.

-You’re out of luck, you.

Carl, class’s younger brother and Amethyst’s vice-student council president, didn’t miss the opportunity to bite him and ended up getting suspended from school.

I don’t know why I hated him, but even Joanna of the magic family criticized him, so I couldn’t do anything about it.

In order to restore his reputation, he appointed himself as the head of the cooperation department, which was recently experiencing management difficulties.

‘Successful.’

At that time, the owner of the top shop asked carefully.

“however… Would it be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“that… Sales increased, but the method was a little… .”

“Is there a problem?”

“Isn’t it illegal?”

“That’s naive. When running a business, some degree of illegality is essential. And, if you don’t get caught, it’s not illegal.”

“… … .”

“Do not worry. “There is no chance of being discovered, no matter who the opponent is.”

It wasn’t just a conviction.

It was impossible for any great wizard to see through Senin’s methods.

So, Rado, the anti-Ecclesia who is recently rumored to be a monster genius wizard.

Because it was difficult to call it a magic trick in the first place.

‘Ban ekklesia.’

Senin frowned.

‘I don’t forget my previous debt. I will never leave you alone.’

But, that was then.

Senin’s eyes sparkled as he looked out the window.

The anti-Ecclesia was entering the casino.
