The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 73
Only Krnovel
“Are you okay?”
It didn’t take as long as I thought. I was able to return within an hour of leaving the chapel.
Winter asked with concern on her tired face.
“uh. are you okay. “I got a contract while I was there.”
“thank god. You also got a contract… … yes? What contract?”
I handed him a glass bead that he always carried with him. Winter, who suddenly caught it in her panic, made a puzzled face.
“Glass beads. We’re going to supply them to the royal family. At 25 knuckles each.”
“… … .”
At the end of my words, Winter made a complicated expression once again.
I was tired because of the rice cake. I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep. When I glanced at Winter, her hands were shaking.
“Why are your hands shaking? Did you eat something wrong?”
“… … How much? How much do you want to sell?”
“what? Initial quantity? 200 pieces. “200 glass beads.”
“this… … two hundred. until when. “How long?”
“Until next Thursday.”
“Because today is Saturday. Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed. “Just 5 days.”
The ridiculous number of 200. Winter closed her eyes tightly at that. Then she bowed her head and began to sob.
I don’t plan on saying anything by crying, but shouldn’t I still tell them the reason? I looked at Winter with a puzzled face.
I had to pat her small shoulder and give her some unknown comfort.
“What’s going on?”
“That’s it. Sniff. That’s it! I can make one. Sniff. “It takes an hour!”
“… … .”
Sleep time 8 hours. 2 hours to eat and wash. Class time is 6 hours. If there are 8 hours left, the number of items one person can make per day is 8.
If you include me, Winter, Warden, and Canis, that’s 32 per day. With half of Saturday already gone, the number of orders was barely achievable if made starting now.
“Does it take that long to make that?”
“A detonating device. Sniff. It takes a long time to make that. Huh. Hehehe.”
“Stop. Stop. Talk to me.”
“Ugh. It’s easy to pierce a glass bead. You just have to make a detonator to react. Before that, you put our divine power into the detonator, and when you press the button, the detonator will be embedded in the pierced glass bead and inject the divine power. Then, it will explode after 3 seconds.”
“… … “You made a good dog.”
Magic is the answer! I thought that since it was a world where magic could solve everything, but I didn’t know that there was such a device.
“You’re done.”
But now was not the time to be amazed.
Fortunately, if I work hard, I will be able to meet the deadline. Since I don’t take classes, I have a lot of time left.
“Warden said he went to class. Canis! Come out!”
“Yeah! You called me?”
It was a creepy move whenever I saw it. I only saw it in a berserk state in games, so I didn’t know something like this existed.
“Yeah, why are we so surprised by winter?”
Winter, surprised by Canis’ movement, held her heart and took a deep breath. I’m probably getting used to it now, but it surprises me every time, so Canis does that too.
“Huh? What is this hot escort?”
I suddenly picked up Canis, who suddenly appeared behind me, and sat her down on the sofa.
“Make it.”
“… … Huh? What? A child?”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
How on earth is the brain made up so that drips like that come out?
I squinted my eyes with all my might and handed Canis a handful of glass beads. Canis, who was baffled and whining, finally cooled down.
“200 by Thursday. make it Do you understand?”
“I don’t belong to a religious order… … .”
“No. You have to. I’ll give you 1% of the sales this time. Will you? If you don’t, that’s fine. But it’ll be fun. Because I’ll send a letter to your family. I’ll tell them that your daughter, the only legitimate heir of the Ulbusis, the enemy of Duhane, is hanging out with Davide, the infamous human garbage of Duhane.”
Canis’ face gradually turned white. Winter opened her mouth in surprise.
“ha. ha?”
Canis trembled to the point where she looked pitiful. From what I heard in the game, Canis’ father, the head of Ulbusis, is a pretty strict person.
Although he loved Canis very much, he raised him very strictly. This is why Canis, despite being bubbly and tomboyish, has manners ingrained in him.
“Ah, it won’t do any good even if you say it’s a lie. Because many students know that you come to our chapel. Even if that’s not the case, I’ll ask the vice principal to testify. How fun would that be?”
Canis was quite afraid of the Ulbusis matriarch. sorry. To this extent. But he couldn’t give up.
“Teach me how to do it quickly. “I don’t have time for that.”
“Ah… … the devil.”
I didn’t want to use this method, but I had no choice. He had promised to proudly deliver it to the imperial family.
If you break that, I can’t even imagine how much the princess will hurt you. In addition, there are 200 25 knuckles.
By simple calculation, 5,000 knuckles. This is only the initial sales volume. Considering that additional units were to be supplied later, this was by no means a negligible number.
More importantly, this was a long-term contract, not a short-term one. Trust was key.
“Da… Davi is a devil. There is a devil living in this church!”
“No. It’s your own devil. The goddess is infinitely loving and merciful. This is where such a person is worshipped. There is no such thing as a devil. So let’s get to work.”
“… … “I don’t think so.”
Now, he dismissed Canis’ words as he moved his hands while sobbing. Winter, who was sighing and stuck to her work, lightly tackled him, but he ignored her.
If you go from human garbage to a devil, isn’t that a rise in status?
* * *
It was a tearful effort. Especially me.
I asked those who came from class to eat, and only stayed in the chapel. I only slept for two hours a day.
“Ah. It’s stiff.”
I pressed the corners of my eyes. Because his adaptive body was so powerful, he achieved the feat of making 90 pieces by himself.
“Everyone, come to your senses.”
Canis somehow couldn’t shake off his blank expression, and Winter was on the verge of turning into slime.
Warden, who was at least okay, made a stupid face for some reason and even had a nosebleed. That’s over now.
“Okay, it’s over.”
Finally. This morning. I handed over 200 glass beads to the vice leader who visited the chapel.
“Someone who goes to the mall.”
There was no one to answer the question. Canis had disappeared and Winter was sleeping, face down on the desk.
Warden touched the padding and did not move a muscle. He sighed and stood up.
“Phew.”
The vice-leader who visited in the morning said that the owner of the workshop was angry and asked to visit him. He could not bear to refuse a request made with an earnest face.
Because of that, I had to go to the workshop with dark circles under my face.
“Oh right.”
It was a bit of a hassle, but I had to go since I was already here. I headed to the grocery store where I bought garlic, an ingredient for seaweed soup.
“Hello… … uh? “You were a garlic customer then?”
As I entered, I felt a little nervous as I saw the clerk who greeted me so kindly. He was more lively than anyone I had ever met.
“Yes. What.”
“Can I help?”
If I had been a soldier, I thought it would have suited me better than I thought. He had a sales smile that he flashed in an instant and an uncanny ability to remember people he had only seen once.
I nodded when I was asked if I would like to help.
“Do you also sell dried fruits here?”
“Of course! Most of the fruits grown on Museion Island can be dried, right? We produce plenty of them, too.”
“Is it selling well?”
“It’s like that, right? “It’s not a hugely popular bestseller, but it’s a steady seller that someone is constantly looking for.”
The story got longer without me knowing because of the rare kindness and stubborn kindness that almost felt like madness. She was better at speaking than I thought.
“Haha. Dried fruit is good to eat on its own, and it’s also good to eat with tea! It doesn’t have the fresh juice of regular fruit, but you can enjoy a much more concentrated flavor and sweetness. It even extends the storage period drastically.”
“Do you produce your own dried fruits?”
“Yes, yes. We have a magic tool for drying fruit in our store. And it’s not something that can be roughly dried, it’s something that takes a long time… … .”
I thought it was simply an explanation, but I found myself shaking my head at the lively voice and overly clear diction.
Then I came to my senses when I realized I had been just listening for over 10 minutes.
Last time, I was confused by a foreign entity called seaweed, but it is truly a scary beast.
“Can I ask you to stop me?”
“Sure! “Sometimes, there are people who bring fruits that we can’t get.”
“Then, please cut the garlic into slices and dry it.”
“Yes, dry garlic. Dried garlic… … . yes? “Dried something?”
I could see her confusion. She looked at me with her mouth wide open, as if she was wondering if what she had heard was true.
But everything I heard was true. The soul of a Korean flowed through my body.
“Oh, garlic?”
“garlic.”
“Oh, garlic.”
I kept thinking about the seaweed soup I had that night. Especially the smell of garlic. It kept coming to mind as I worked with glass beads.
How much I wanted to eat it. So I bought her raw garlic and tried to chew it, but got scolded by Winter.
“If I dry it, the smell will be less, right?”
“… … Although it’s not a fruit. Maybe… … . No, that’s not it. “Do you really want to eat something like that?”
“Do you have any problem?”
“No. surely. is it so. “You’re the guy with taste?”
No, what is it? Why are you understanding things so randomly? I looked at her with a slightly depressed face.
The clerk, who had been muttering in his own world, quickly changed his expression upon realizing my presence.
“I think I can make it! “I think it will be quite a new challenge.”
“… … challenge. “Is it worth going to the challenge?”
Wouldn’t it be over if I just told him not to? I looked at the clerk who was burning with fighting spirit for some reason.
“The fruit tastes much stronger, yes. I’m sure that processing it that way would reduce the smell a lot? I think it would even neutralize the spiciness a little bit.”
“Well, I hope the spiciness stays the same.”
“… … In that case, shouldn’t you try breeding?”
“Um. Yes. Well. Please do that.”
“Garlic on our side?”
“please.”
It seemed that the dried garlic had come to an end. Sadly, garlic was not used at all in the dormitory food, or in any food that could be eaten within the Academy.
I was told I could cook it myself, but since renting a kitchen isn’t easy, I didn’t want to do that annoying thing every time.
“What should we do with the sheep?”
“As much as I can.”
“… … “We bring in 10kg a month?”
“Yes, please give me that.”
“Oh my god.”
The clerk now treated me as if I was seeing something scary. It was a bit odd, but I wondered if it was really worth reacting to.
“There is a processing method that comes to mind, but several experiments are needed to achieve optimal processing. So, I think it will take some time.”
“it’s okay.”
“Yes. Then, would you like to come back again in a week? I will prepare several different kinds then, so please try them and I will make one that you like.”
“please.”
It was a deal I liked a lot more than I expected. How long has it been since a transaction was completed so easily, quickly and profitably? Anyone would understand if the recent transaction was with the princess.
“This is service!”
She handed me an apple that had a refreshing scent. Ten kilograms of garlic is definitely not a small amount by world standards.
Of course, even in Korea, where people eat over 6 kg a year, it is a bit heavy. Since the storage period is ridiculously long, I planned to buy it and eat it over and over again.
“I guess it can be used for cooking too?”
“Cooking? That’s enough. Because it’s dried, not roasted.”
“surely.”
Come to think of it, there were dried vegetables in the ramen soup too. A bright prospect. It can be used in seaweed soup or when camping in the mountains.
Now that I think about it, Bereninche really enjoyed the seaweed soup. I should consider recruiting her.
‘What should I say?’
Berenine’s body felt scary, but also familiar. Maybe it was because she felt like someone from my hometown.
After all, Koreans love garlic.
