The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 58
Only Krnovel
Only after the professor came to his senses and said something, did Berenice and Winter leave. Meanwhile, Berenice stole the entire seaweed soup I made.
There was still a lot of seaweed so I could boil it and eat it again, but among the items stolen was an abalone bigger than my fist.
“There’s no choice.”
I couldn’t go and ask for it. I didn’t get angry because I thought of it as a natural disaster, Berenice. Has it already come to this point?
“Smoking is prohibited in the mountains.”
“Haha. You crazy guy.”
I said something to the professor who had a cigarette in his mouth with a very tired expression. Of course, the professor cursed me coolly and lit it.
It didn’t really hit me because I didn’t even think I would hear it. I just hung around and stared at the bonfire.
The sound of crackling fire and the smell of burning firewood. Even the light that emits softly without being burdensome.
It became increasingly peaceful. A different kind of comfort than the comfort found in the piety of a chapel. Once I realized that it was a daily routine, my eyes were suddenly filled with excellence.
“You man.”
The professor looked at me intently for a while and then slowly opened his mouth. Although his words were harsh, there was a rough warmth in them that made him think of his students.
Because I knew the truth, I did not reject him. A voice came out that was a bit hard, so it couldn’t help but be hard.
“yes.”
“There’s something I’ve been curious about for a long time.”
While stirring the fire with a smoldering branch, the professor began to tell a story. What are you curious about?
There were several things that immediately came to mind. I nodded quietly.
“You’re so fierce, it must be hard to talk to you. But you’ve become a little more lenient these days.”
“Yes.”
Before getting right into the main topic, he made a rhetorical remark. Judging from the way he looked and spoke, he seemed like he would get into trouble right away, but he was meticulous in this regard.
Except for the vice-captain and adjutant, this was the first time I received such consideration. Is it natural that the only ones that can be called conversations in the first place are people related to religious denominations?
“Why did you stab that guy?”
“… … .”
I suddenly ran out of things to say. It’s a bit awkward to mention. At least the professor thinks so.
The incident that provided the decisive cause for David’s excommunication. The incident that made David into a villain.
Also, it was the incident that led to Episode 3. Episode 3 consisted of two parts.
‘Recovery and subjugation.’
Recovery was to save the classmate David stabbed with his sword. Subjugation was to join forces with that classmate and defeat the common enemy.
The recovery part takes place outside the academy, and the subjugation part takes place inside the academy. Because of the nature of the academy, it is difficult to go on external missions, so the recovery part takes place during vacations.
“well.”
“her.”
The only answer that came out was an equivocation. There is no such thing as an old-fashioned situation. Funny enough, it was a deal.
It was a deal that benefited both Davide, who stabbed him, and the guy who was stabbed. The reason was a struggle between noble sons.
It was a complex issue that involved not only that family but also the Duhane family. The reason Davide accepted the offer was simple.
Because Duhane tried to kill him. It was a struggle to escape from the fierce hunters of the waves.
“It’s a family affair.”
“I see. That’s right. Even nobles can’t do that.”
An absurd dismissal. The professor quickly clicked his tongue and grumbled. As a commoner, he could not sympathize with the ruthlessness of the nobles.
In that respect, I should also stay away, but since I prioritize self-interest over the cause, I couldn’t help but understand.
Nobles act for their own comfort and gain. Life is like that, but nobles did it even more.
“Is the church work going well?”
“It’s smooth. “For some reason, I got lucky.”
“Good.”
We ended up in silence again. It was a bit of an awkward conversation. I glanced at the professor.
He had a rather worried look on his face. He was rough, but he was rare in people who were so human.
“professor.”
“why.”
“Your forehead seems to have gotten a bit wider.”
“… … .”
The expected response was, ‘Stop talking nonsense, you idiot.’, but I didn’t hear anything. When I looked up, wondering if it was true, I saw an indescribable expression on his face.
It was an action to change the atmosphere, but without realizing it, I ended up sticking a dagger in my head. We suddenly became solemn. It was the first time I felt so sorry for someone.
* * *
“Senior. Does the book fit you well?”
“uh. “It’s a bit easy.”
I spent two days and one night in the mountains and slept all day in the dormitory. After waking up, I headed to the chapel.
In order not to spoil the mood during the midterm exam period, I also studied. I borrowed books on tactics and strategy, thinking that they would help me in battle.
Surprisingly, the Book of War was interesting. It was fun to read the various battles and wars given as examples, and it was also fun to learn about the strategy itself.
“I don’t think you’ll understand even if you read it.”
“… … That’s not it.”
“I guess so.”
Looking at his disintegrating face, I guess he’s disgusting. I can’t stop teasing him because his reaction is different every time.
It would be great to have Canis here, but that person itself is annoying, so maybe next time.
Winter studied a lot. He liked reading books and he was happy to learn things.
But my grades weren’t that good. She finished with barely half a grade in all other subjects except religion.
Especially the combat-related aspects were miserable. I studied very hard, but my test scores were disappointing.
“Whew. Still, I’m so glad that the midterms are over.”
“There was a point when you didn’t even care.”
“Ah… … That’s not it!”
After Winter heard me say that I didn’t have to worry about finding a job, a burden was lifted from her mind.
The appearance of sincerity has not gone anywhere, but the target has changed. Rather than studying, he invested more in the religious order and the sacred magic he was interested in.
This was the first time I saw that there are people who enjoy studying. I also realized why Winter’s skin is pure white.
-smart.
It was a surprise that someone was knocking at the chapel door. The problem started with the notorious David.
Even if you break through or overcome it, it is difficult to do business easily due to the unique nature of the denomination in the first place.
But now no one was surprised. There was no ability to detect presence or magic. They just knew who knocked first outside.
“long time no see.”
Winter opened the door without much hesitation. The vice-captain always comes in with a healing smile.
I stood up and greeted him. The vice-captain gave Winter a worldly look and bowed his head to me.
Even Winter, who originally felt burdened by such a high-ranking person, opened her heart to the Vice-Captain’s uniquely gentle atmosphere.
The vice-captain visited the chapel suspiciously often. At first, I thought it was because of me, but when I saw that Winter and the porridge were getting along well, I was confused.
“I would like to try Winter Student’s tea for once. May I ask you something?”
The vice-captain spoke to Winter first, taking into consideration her timid personality. Winter prepared the tea with a happy expression on her face.
There is consideration in every action and word. Although it is said to be innate kindness, there is also a rather harsh and cold side to it.
In this case, I guess it’s a matter of experience. Why on earth is this kind of person being treated so harshly by the princess?
“Before we get into the fun, let me first tell you why I’m here. There’s someone looking for student Davide.”
“Are you looking for this?”
“Yes. He’s the owner of the workshop we went to together. He complained that he had left the items there but had no way to contact me.”
“ah.”
Come to think of it, there was that too. When I thought about it, I had no means of contacting them. Did you finish it quickly though?
I thought it would take a little longer, but it was better than I expected. I glanced at the vice-captain. Looking at his suspicious smile, I felt that there was something else there.
“Are you getting better at unloading tea?”
“There is still a long way to go.”
Winter looked embarrassed at the vice-captain’s praise. The vice-captain came here for a real rest.
Everyone will think that when they see you smiling and talking to Winter like that.
Winter’s strange appearance of not joining in on conversations unless it was me. Winter didn’t easily start talking unless someone spoke to her first.
These days, I often talk to the fierce Warden, and I’m used to the Warden’s stupid reactions.
Communication was not that smooth for the average person. Therefore, he tolerated the existence of the vice-captain. She had a positive effect on Winter.
“So, what brought you here?”
As if I had played to my satisfaction, Winter took the lead and looked at me.
In response, the vice-captain also explained the purpose of his visit.
“I came here to save 80%. I came because I have something to tell you about the remaining 20%. “My superior is looking for student Davide.”
Winter’s eyes toward me were full of questions. The person who was mentioned time and time again, the superior. That person was interested in me.
Winter wondered what had happened. She was also a little worried. Knowing my personality to some extent, Winter was worried that I might have caused some kind of accident.
So, I guess he was worried that calling it that would be a bit of a hack. That worry was admirable, but it wasn’t something Winter should be involved in.
That superior being is not something that Winter can imagine. No matter what he imagines, it will be more than that.
“… … “Are you okay?”
When I asked this question, the vice-captain’s face became interested. I answered by nodding my head earnestly.
Winter frowned for a moment at my unfriendly reaction, then shrugged. A superior is looking for me. How annoying it will be.
“Hehe. “You look tired?”
“yes. Thanks to.”
“I did nothing wrong?”
I responded bluntly to the teasing remark. The vice-captain appealed his innocence, but I was not fooled.
It’s clear that he must have mentioned me as well, saying that he liked me too. He had no intention of moving obediently.
“Shall we go now?”
“Is it urgent?”
“well. “I don’t think so, do you?”
“Then I won’t go.”
Winter’s face turned pale at my bombshell remark. The vice-captain also widened his eyes to show his surprise.
I waved my hand and tried to appease Winter. If it was really urgent, I would have come in a hurry. If you tell me to go without telling me who you are, should I go?
“Maybe. I thought it wouldn’t turn out like this.”
“The vice-captain’s superior must be a high-ranking person. But I don’t necessarily have to go to that calling. Are you by any chance a member of the Bachelor’s side?”
The vice-captain, who had been laughing bitterly, shook his head at my question.
“If you reveal your identity, I will go.”
“That is beyond my authority. It is certainly not the duty of Davide to respond to the call. This is how the mission was failed.”
“I am worried that the Vice-Chief may be harmed.”
“are you okay. Hehehe.”
A gentle smile appeared on the vice-captain’s face, as if he liked my bold appearance. If what I thought was right, it would only be annoying if I got involved now.
