Academy Ankle Reaper - Chapter 104
104. Don’t forget to tell me
“Now then, let’s leave the hunting festival folks alone and decide what to do with the event. Anyone have any comments?”
It took some time for people to participate in the hunting festival, and in the next class, students gathered to enjoy the festival without participating in the hunting festival.
Most of them were recommended students, but there were occasional test-entry students.
Gathering the students together is Dorothy Woodville, who steps forward and gathers opinions.
Originally, Dorothy, who holds the real power of the 5th class, was in charge of the front direction of the class’s event in this hunting festival.
As she is taking classes as the successor of her guild, she was very reliable at events like this.
Casey was nowhere to be seen.
It looks like he’s going to participate in the hunting festival.
If you want to participate, I can’t stop you, but Casey is too powerful among the students, so I should tell her in advance to restrain herself.
“Dorothy! How about something like a haunted house?”
“Haunted House… It’s an attraction where you have to dress up in spooky makeup and charge an admission fee. I would like to return That’s why the rotation of personnel is too low.”
I was told to speak, but I cut it off without mercy from the first opinion.
The student whose opinion was ignored sat down with a gloomy expression.
Dorothy smiled, crossed her arms and said confidently.
“There is something I haven’t said before, but my personal wish for this festival is… It is to get higher sales than the 4th class! No matter how much it is an event between students, business is business! If you do, do it with all your might!”
‘I’m thinking interesting things.’
Students murmured at Woodville’s explicit remarks.
Class 4 is Shaara’s class.
Chara will not directly participate in the hunting festival, so Shaara will lead the 4th class events.
She could have left it to someone else, but then she wouldn’t stand on her side, so she would take command unconditionally.
So as not to harm Phrygia’s name.
In other words, wanting to earn higher sales than the 4th class is like declaring that she will fight Phrygia.
“Why is that? At best, you don’t think Phrygia will retaliate for being an eyesore at a student event, right? There’s no such thing, so don’t worry and try your best to win first place in the academy.”
Woodville gave me a sneaky look after saying that.
—————————-
With only two weeks left, she had to decide what to do quickly.
The 5th class decided to open a teahouse where the number of people can be rotated quickly, as is the standard for the festival.
The idea to open a restaurant was rejected.
Even if I were to run a restaurant, I don’t think that young ladies and young ladies who have never properly dipped their hands in water would be able to prepare proper food for the influx of customers.
However, it is impossible for them to bring in chefs who can cook with personal connections or money.
This was because the events of the festival had to be thoroughly prepared by the students.
Therefore, we turned to a teahouse where preparations were much simpler.
After the first meeting, I ran into Andy grinning in the hallway with a very dissatisfied look on his face.
“It’s time for the meeting to end. Teahouse? You’re sober…”
“It’s better to have a coffee shop than to do something weird.”
“That’s right too.”
Andy looked very tired.
“Haaah…Really you’re not going to the hunting festival?”
“Would you like to go out?”
“No, good idea. All the students will desperately try to win that, but it only looks weird when you go outside.”
Aside from wanting to enjoy the festival, Andy had a clear understanding of why I hadn’t participated in the hunting festival myself.
It’s strange that even if you go out and win the championship, you’re taking away the opportunity of the students who were desperately trying to win, and it’s a nuisance to the teammates even if you enjoy it enough to not win.
No matter what you do, if you feel uncomfortable, don’t go out.
“What happened at the meeting? Why are you so disliked?”
“Uh… It’s not a mess. Try to be in the position you are preparing for. Since they said they would open something like that in two weeks, only the people who roll at the site suffer….”
“All the hard work is going to be done by golems.”
“It is a person who manages it. Too much to worry about… It’s simple labor, just follow your words. Golems do, but there’s still a lot to do.
I have to go to a temple in the black forest where the hunting festival is held… At the same time, I have to lecture, and I hate it, really… !”
Andy grabbed her hair and began to lament her condition.
All the labor to prepare the hunting festival is said to be done by golems, but anything that cannot be done with simple labor is the responsibility of the professors.
Andy, a swordsmanship instructor, must explore the black forest, which will be the site of the hunting festival, observe the atmosphere, divide the danger zones, and catch some monsters to leave samples.
It’s monsters. Andy says he catches them, but there must be professors who investigate poisonous insects and poisonous plants.
Environmental research is not a task that can be completed in a day or two, but after completing it, it takes only two weeks to complete the task of adjusting the danger zone called the Black Forest to the extent that students are not seriously injured?
Some professors who are in charge of important responsibilities will want to die to proceed with lectures.
Why did I think of doing it all over the course of two weeks when I was originally progressing little by little on a month-by-month basis?
‘Come to think of it, Professor Prague majored in sorcery biology, right?’
“Then are you catching monsters and handing them over to magic biology?”
“Yes.”
I wasn’t sure what to say, so I couldn’t go, but now I have to go.
“And you… what did you do..?”
“What am I doing?”
“Professor Buckingham’s attitude has changed a bit. A nobleman who was so excited about the hunting festival suddenly acts like he’s prudent… What kind of magic did you use?”
He is a very careless person to change noticeably after just one conversation.
After all, I am not a person who can do a lot of work.
“I don’t know?”
As I pretended not to know about him, I felt a presence across the corridor.
“Atlas…”
Lucia, who went to say that she had something to say to the five pillars, found me and was waving her hand and walking away.
“I’m looking for you. Go.”
“Andy, when inspecting the Black Forest, let me know if there is anything strange.”
“If you’re going to do that, can’t you just go?”
“This guy is going to eat it on payday.”
.

After Andy left, I continued my conversation with Lucia at the same spot.
“As expected, you have to leave.”
“Yes…”
Three of the five pillars participate in the hunting festival.
Frygia and Perda, who are far from fighting, are excluded, and the three families of Lemnos, Russell, and Albion participate.
“Me too… I don’t like to participate in hunting festivals…. The forest is damp and stinky and full of bugs… I don’t like it very much.”
“But do you hate not participating?”
“… Huh.”
I don’t know if it’s a battle of pride between the five pillars or if the family told me to do it, but it seems that there is a reason why I must participate in the hunting festival.
I had to participate, but I was radiating signs of dislike with my whole body, such as wiggling my fingers and twisting my body.
“Then we need to start with a team.”
“… I hate that too….”
I shook my head when I said we had to form a team.
However, if you enter the Black Forest alone, you will be plagued here and there, and it will be difficult to earn points properly.
The hunting festival with teams is basically operated in groups of 4 people.
The most ideal composition consists of 1 warrior who will be in charge of melee, 1 ranger or hunter who can identify prey and cover medium and short distances, 1 wizard who will use powerful magic from the rear, and 1 priest who will grant various buffs. Is the composition of
However, finding a priest among the students attending the academy is like picking stars from the sky, so the priest gives up.
Instead, I solve it by purchasing various potions at the general store and making a cleric set in my pocket.
The cleric set in my pocket has to be taken by myself, so there is a downside that I can’t do anything when I run into a really dangerous situation, but I can’t help it.
Rangers and hunters should also be excluded.
It is unreasonable to find a ranger who always rolls in harsh environments or a student who has the skills of a skilled hunter in an academy where most of the aristocrats who have grown up are noble.
However, among the test-entry students, there are some students who have the qualities of a ranger or who were competent hunters before entering the school, so such students enter the team with very good conditions.
After excluding the two things the team needed the most, the only thing left was a warrior and a wizard.
And most of the teams created in the academy were teams of warriors in charge of the vanguard and wizards in charge of everything else.
Still, if there are wizards, it’s a good composition.
There are quite a few teams made up of only four warriors.
Lucia is the Five Pillars, so if you assemble her team, let’s build the same team from all sides of her and reach out to her.
“But it’s hard to do it alone.”
“..Then… Atlas with me… Do it….”
“??”
As soon as Lucia said that, she quickly looked around.
I checked to see if anyone had heard of it, but luckily no one.
She knew what he meant, but as soon as she heard it, her head throbbed.
“Me?”
“I like you.. I hate others….”
It was just like that, but it sounds very strange because the word ‘team’ is omitted in the middle.
Especially because his face is blushing.
“Everyone makes my heart weak”
Still, I won’t participate in the hunting festival.
Never, never.
“If it’s not you… I’d rather do it alone…”
“…But still can’t.”
I know what it means from the context, but is that on purpose?
