The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 101

101. Post Processing (4)

“I can’t help but give the same answer to the same question. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

With that answer, as expected, Jayca smiled.

“I unleashed Nina’s spell, which was controlled by the Living Doll, found out that the tree was the main body, and responded to . Isn’t it too good to deal with?”

“It’s a coincidence.”

“It’s a coincidence… If a coin comes up heads three times in a row, shouldn’t we assume that there is something wrong with that coin?”

“…….”

A reasonable point. It would not be unreasonable to think so.

However, it is also not an area that can be proven.

“The probability of three heads in a row is 1 in 8. I can’t say anything other than that it happened about 1 out of 8 times.”

“Do you really think it’s 1 out of 8?”

Jayka steps forward.

As if trying to look into my face,

Or as if trying to see through my essence.

She has her face close up.

Seeing this, she realizes that she is taller than me.

This is rare. Women taller than me were quite rare.

“One time out of 50… No, I think it might or may not happen once out of 100.”

“You’re lucky. I heard that there’s a lottery ticket being sold in the city of Pwaliver. You might want to try it.”

“That’s how you intend to keep running away.”

Rarely clears up doubts.

It must have been that he already had some certainty about me inside Jayka.

Did I go wild in the raid?

However, if I hadn’t responded at that time, the raid might have collapsed.

‘…… Wait a minute in the first place.’

Was Jaca trying to test me from the start?

That’s right, Jika must have already known the living doll’s pattern.

“You seem to have a look on your face that wants to ask something, Beheritt. Shall we do this then?”

Jay Carr raised her index finger.

“Just by asking each other one question and answering it. How is it?”

“…Is it one thing?”

“Yes. With the rule that you shouldn’t ask more questions, and you shouldn’t be curious.”

“…….”

There is no reason to respond to that.

But if Jay Carr has some confidence in me, and she’s trying to test me with raids, she says.

There may also be a possibility of becoming a stumbling block in the future.

“…Let me ask you a question first. Did you victimize the raid?”

“Can’t be. Did you think I was as vicious as your brother?”

“As a result, it seems that way.”

“Well, he definitely did something bad to Jin.”

Jay Carr shrugged her shoulders.

In fact, Jayka knows the living doll pattern.

Because she has defeated the Living Doll countless times.

If Joshua hadn’t bribed her students, Jay Carr would have taken down the Living Dolls without a problem.

But Jayka was injured.

She could have told Jin, the next attack leader, the pattern of her Living Doll, but she didn’t.

Just to test me.

To check how far I know.

“You don’t know either. Maurice Aiva… No, Erea Blainclette.”

“…Was it you who planted her in her.”

“It’s a coincidence. Aeru heard the rumors of the Catacombs Dungeon, and she came to this land, and she once invited her to join her.”

Saying that, Jay Carr pulled out one of her crystal balls and showed it.

It is an item called ‘Watcher’s Eye’.

It is a rare item that allows you to share your vision by choosing a person and having that person’s blood buried in a crystal ball.

“If something happened, Erua was going to solve it. Beherit just solved it before then.”

“Ha…”

Even if there was a safety device, it is clear that Jin was used in the end.

If Jika had delivered the right information, Jin wouldn’t have been so hurt.

“I will ask you a question next. Beherit, are you the one who will kill me?”

Ha, really.

This is why she didn’t want to get involved with Jay Carr.

After talking with Jayka, I headed to the first floor lobby.

Marie had already arrived and was waiting for me in the lobby.

“Sorry for being late.”

“Ah, no… I, I just came… That, a little bit… I think it will take some time.”

“Really? Is something going on?”

“That’s not like that…”

Marie explained while stammering.

To sum up the explanation briefly, it was that a procedure was needed to return to the floating island.

“Mmm, I think I need to contact the academy first… The academy has to open the gate so I can move there…”

Warp gates are state-of-the-art devices that allow you to move anywhere in the world, but on the contrary, there is also a problem that if you abuse them, you can invade anywhere.

In particular, Philea Academy has been through the ‘Elpis Bamir Incident’.

The incident in which a monster disguised as Elpis Bamir infiltrated the academy and caused a splendid terror could be called the dark history of Philea Academy.

That’s why it is said that the inspection has been strengthened one more level.

It seems that the method of opening and closing the gate is also more strict than before.

“That’s why I’m waiting for your call…”

“I see.”

Immediately after hearing Mari’s explanation, there were people coming here from far away.

These are the maids who work at the residence of Count Findelnerca, including Nina.

“Excuse me, Ariel Beheritt. I’ve been in touch with the academy, but I’m going to move my luggage first.”

As soon as Nina approached, she said so.

“Move the baggage first… Does that mean that the baggage is sent first?”

“Yes, that’s right. They first check to see if there’s anything wrong with the luggage you’re sending, and then let them pass through the gate.”

“Then it will take some time.”

I glanced around.

It’s just me and Marie here. It seems that Mari and I are the only students returning to the Floating Island today.

If there were a lot of people, it would have taken a lot of time.

In that sense, I think I did well to go back to Floating Island today.

“I’ll move your luggage first. Also, I have two things to pass on to Ariel Beheritt.”

“Are you going to deliver it?”

“Yes. First of all, this is a message from Mr. Benit. I asked him to say sorry for not being able to meet him today.”

“I can’t help it. I’ll be busy with Joshua.”

Currently, Joshua is imprisoned in the Northern District of Findelnerca.

In the Northern District, there is the ‘Willot Family’, a family of knights who are loyal to Count Findelnerca.

As it is the place with the most outstanding military force in the County of Findel Nerca, I heard that they are monitoring Joshua with their eyes on.

“Yes. So Benit-nim is currently heading to the Northern District.”

“I see. Benit-senpai must have had a lot of trouble too.”

“And secondly, there is a letter from Mr. Claire Enteris.”

“…A letter from Claire?”

Claire, letter.

There was no difficulty in understanding each word, but it felt odd to have the two words next to each other.

“If there is a business, I will tell you directly. Why is the letter?”

“Cler Entirus-nim asked me to tell him that he is also busy and can’t come to pick him up.”

Is that why you sent the letter?

I nodded and accepted the letter from Nina.

“Then we’ll take care of the luggage.”

Within seconds, the maids came out and started carrying Marie’s luggage.

Looking at them sideways, I opened the letter.

[Dear Ariel, my dear friend.

Good morning, seeing as the day is sunny. It would have been a better morning if we had been able to see each other face to face.

What am I supposed to be doing when Ariel is reading this letter?

Are you running all over the place? Or are you having a meeting? Maybe he’s getting ready to go to Beltark Academy.

I’ll write down the results of the negotiations here.

There are three things we need to receive.

The first is the apology and penalty of 25 people involved.

The second is an apology and compensation at the level of the student knights representing the 25 people involved.

The third is an apology and compensation from Beltark Academy, including Joshua.

Let’s start with the first item, the 25 implicated people.

I didn’t kill Ariel. It’s a pretty cumbersome method, but since you’ve taken care of it like this, I’m sure it won’t climb.

Also, as I said before, I finished the story about Living Doll well.

Well, as expected, Jin gave up his contributions altogether. I wonder if the rest of the student knights will give up their contribution.

It seems that the Vice President of the Leading Department and Lapisca, who could be competitors, have no intention of participating in the auction at all. She doesn’t seem interested in living stones.

So, Ariel’s auction priority was automatically confirmed, and I decided to participate in the auction as an agent.

Of course, the winning bid at the auction will be borne in the form of 1/N by the 25 people involved. Being able to do an auction for free has made the world so much more convenient, right?

In addition to this, the 25 involved will face internal discipline within the Student Knights.

With the suspension of the student knights, the return of the student knights privileges, and the demotion, will some people be forcibly kicked out of the knights?

In addition to that, they made me write a corpse donation certificate. I think it will probably arrive in front of Ariel sooner or later.

Regarding the second item, an apology and compensation from the student knights representing the 25 involved.

The student knights will open the warehouse.]

“…Is it a warehouse?”

That was pretty surprising.

The warehouse of the Student Knights.

It could be said that it is a treasure trove of Philea Academy.

As mentioned before, the Student Knights are the most specialized group in the academy for subjugation.

Like this time, the student knights often go on raids or go on expeditions to defeat giant monsters.

And to that extent, the Student Knights also acquire various loot, among which there are many fairly rare items.

The student knights keep the rare items obtained in this way in the warehouse.

[There are a total of three items we can take out from the warehouse.

Ariel has two and I have one.

Therefore, the three items we will have will be purchased directly from the Academy by the Student Knights and gifted to us.

Those involved will be struggling with money for a while. Maybe there are students who pay debts.]

“Hmm…”

I thoughtlessly stroked my chin while reading the letter.

I think I managed to bring out these conditions.

Philea Academy’s three major organizations: Student Council, Leadership Club, and Student Knights.

In Unknown Saga, each organization has a preferential system.

In the case of the Student Knights, that was the warehouse.

A warehouse where high-performance items that cannot be obtained in the market are dormant.

Items can be retrieved from the warehouse as long as certain conditions are met.

Although the conditions are very strict.

The main character, Lucius, belongs to the Student Knights, or at least one of Lucius’ fellow members is a member of the Student Knights.

And achieve the quests provided within the Student Knights, or digest various events to raise your status within the Student Knights.

If you fulfill the conditions up to this point, you can take out the item or purchase the item.

Items can only be borrowed for a limited time, and you can only bring one at a time.

In order to buy items like this time, you must additionally achieve a certain level of bond with the Student Knight Commander or Student Knight Vice Leader.

In addition, it requires a large amount of money…… For Lucius, there are harsh conditions in many ways.

Therefore, taking out three items from the warehouse this time was very unconventional.

[The list of items in the warehouse will also be delivered to Ariel soon. Ariel can choose two of them.

And finally, an apology and compensation from Beltark Academy.

There are four apologies and rewards to offer in Beltark.

1) An apology and compensation from Beltarc to Count Findelnerca.

2) Beltark’s apology and compensation to the Student Knights.

3) Beltarc’s apology and compensation to me.

4) Beltark’s apology and compensation to Ariel.

It’s hard to predict how Beltark will compensate you for this, so I can’t say for sure yet.

Eventually, I’m going to talk to Ariel’s brother.

Perhaps I will go as Ariel’s representative.

And I think senior Jin will accompany me as the representative of the Student Knights.

As the representative of Count Findelnerca, will senior Benit go with you? I don’t know about this one.

Besides that, I think Senior Vice President of the Leading Division, Belairam Anderson, will accompany me, but this is a story that Ariel doesn’t have to worry about.

Ariel said he didn’t want to return to the duchy, right?

For now, I’ll pass on that will. She has already informed the telegraph that she wants to stay at Philea Academy.

So maybe Ariel won’t go back to Beltark? Well, just in case, I’ll tell Ariel’s older brother about that.

But is she really good that she doesn’t go back to Veltark? I think she can put forward some more conditions.

You are more ascetic than you look, our Prince Ariel.

If you change your mind, tell me quickly. If you remember anything you want to ask for, send it to the port before I set off for Beltark.

Shall we talk about the most important thing?]

“…The most important story?”

At first glance, it seems like you wrote down all the important stories, right?
