The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 89
Only Krnovel
“Ah. It’s so stuffy.”
I changed into my school uniform and stretched out loud. My body felt heavy after just lying on the bed.
The healer frowned as he watched me noisily stretching my body.
“Have a nice meal and go.”
I left the infirmary after saying goodbye. Guys who looked much more serious than me came in one after another.
He looked away for a moment and then turned away.
“There’s not much vacation left.”
While I was hospitalized for four days, it was already final exam season. He had very few people going around the bachelor’s.
“I think it was astrology.”
Rather than going back to the chapel right away, I stopped by the other side first. I headed to the library where Winter often goes.
What bothered me was the astrology thing that Anash mentioned.
“uh?”
“uh?”
The library was crowded. Maybe because it was exam period, there were quite a few people visiting. Quiet bustle.
Even though there was no noise, the inside of the library was full of heat. As I was just opening the door and entering, I heard a scream in the quiet room.
“hmm?”
Twins with auburn hair pointing their fingers at me. Thanks to their screams, all eyes in the library turned to me.
“What are you trying to do… … .”
“Seniors!”
I was about to answer with a fierce smile at the explicit gaze when my brother’s clerk stepped forward.
He drew my attention in a low voice and led me to where they were sitting. As I rolled my eyes, the people I encountered quickly averted their gaze.
“Senior. What brings you here?”
Lera, the younger sister, immediately asked what she was curious about. As she tried to answer obediently, she felt strange.
It was as if she was asking why I had come to the library. When I tilted my head, Lera, who noticed it too late, waved her hand.
“Oh, no. “Because you are suspended from school, you are not taking the exam.”
“I have something to look for.”
Lera defended herself, breaking into a cold sweat. I stared at her for a moment and then she opened her mouth.
“What are you looking for? What are you looking for?”
Reggie, a good-natured person, led the conversation gently. I thought for a moment. I had to decide if I could say this.
“Do you know anything about astrology?”
“Astrology?”
I thought that they, being wizards, would be of sufficient help. The twins looked at each other after hearing my answer.
“I know. “Why is that?”
“How much do you know?”
I didn’t answer Reggie’s question straight away. The quick-witted twins quickly realized the limits of what they could know.
Lera stroked her chin as she recalled the memory.
“It is a discipline that studies the stars, but it is now lost and was popular in the Far East relatively recently.”
“Far East?”
Astrology also appears in the game. There is a character who uses it, but he is a person from the past.
Since she was a disposable NPC who appeared for a short time and then disappeared, there wasn’t much information about astrology. My eyes lit up at Lera’s words.
“Yes. In the Far East, since they have long valued stars, things related to them have developed. Of course, there are records of people using astrology in the empire, but they cannot be compared to the Far East.”
The Far East. The atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange. Anash treated me as if we had met before.
He may be considered senile after living for a long time, but his eyes were bright. He didn’t even seem to be lying.
“Are you okay?”
“uh. are you okay.”
My head hurt. I did not want to have anything to do with the Far East. There were a lot of things related to the current empire.
I didn’t want to get involved in something for no reason. But I also felt uneasy about just ignoring Anash’s advice.
“Is there anything I can do? Is there anyone who has studied astrology these days?”
“no. Even in the Far East, the tradition of astrology ceased 200 years ago.”
I asked just in case, but it was a dud. Several methods came to mind, but few were viable.
“You’re a wizard.”
“Yes.”
I closed my eyes tightly and thought for a moment before asking the twins to confirm. The twins, feeling somewhat awkward, answered ambiguously.
“There must be a lot of rare materials. Since you’re a wizard. You have to research them.”
“Yes.”
The twins broke out in a cold sweat. The tone of their conversation somehow became like a money grab.
I didn’t care.
“I need to sell you some ingredients. “Is there a bell?”
There were necessary ingredients, but they were difficult for me to obtain. All of them were materials used by wizards.
Lera, with a bit of hesitation, handed over the paper she had been writing on.
“I have the ingredients I need. “I think I’ll get caught if I go.”
A 10% mid-range profit margin would be sufficient.

“Cannis.”
“Hmm~ Congratulations on your discharge~”
The more I looked at it, the more amazing it was. As soon as I called Canis’ name as I left the library, I felt a presence next to me.
She matched her steps with the most natural gait, as if she had been right beside me, hiding her body.
“Blood magic. “I’ll go right away.”
“It’s me~ It’s good~”
There is not much time left until the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. An event that you must attend in order to develop a religious character.
Until then, I had planned to learn and become familiar with blood magic.
“Who are you going to?”
“Well~ I don’t know if you’ll know if I tell you~”
Canis answered in a sly voice. She stretched out her hand to give him some honey chestnuts, but he managed to escape her grasp.
Canis led the way with his characteristic bouncy movements. The destination was the Magic Academy.
“Is this your first time at the Magic Academy?”
“I guess.”
Combat department students had no reason to come to the Magic Academy. And vice versa. We didn’t go to each other’s schools except for first-year liberal arts classes.
Of course, I, who came in as a second-year student, had no such memories.
“This is the Magic Faculty’s pride, Olivia Pavilion.”
Canis introduced Olivia’s Hall with exaggerated gestures. It certainly had a very different atmosphere from Victoria’s Hall in the Combat Department.
It was like I was introducing myself, but in reality, I was just walking. I looked around as if it was a new experience.
“The atmosphere is unique.”
Unlike the Victorian Wing, which was mostly red and brown, the Olivia Wing was entirely blue.
It was a building with a calm and intellectual atmosphere.
“Unlike combat students, magic students have their own personal research labs!”
Canis, who seemed to be in a particularly good mood like a fish out of water, continued his explanation.
The size of the Combat Academy and the Magic Academy were not much different. In the former, most facilities were related to training, while in the latter, the focus was solely on private facilities.
“That means you have your own lab, too.”
“Of course.”
The wizards here also showed signs of being mad scientists. Those who were enthusiastic about the study of magic itself soon became wizards.
As a result, they spent most of their time in their laboratories.
“You seem to be seen often in the chapel.”
“Is that because I’m so good that I don’t have to stay in the lab for a long time?”
The wizard I saw in the game was very different from Canis. If you look closely, she was similar to Warden. She was a deep-rooted wizard, but her disposition was different from that of a typical wizard.
“The head of the Ulbusis family will be sad.”
“Father~ supports everything I do~”
Canis responded to my sarcasm without much notice. For her, pursuing her studies was not that important.
The most important thing was my inability to feel anger.
“Everyone~ has arrived!”
After chatting for a while, we arrived at our destination. A remote laboratory in the corner of the academic building.
I froze as I looked at where Canis was pointing with his finger.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Canis tilted his head as he looked at me who had suddenly stopped.
This fucking Canis. I frowned at the unexpected turn of events, even though I had hoped for it.
“I didn’t think so.”
There were amulets all around the lab door. There weren’t many people using blood magic, but there were some who did.
There were about three people within the academy who used it. Of them, I wanted to avoid just one.
“Oh~ Does Dabi know your friend beyond this?”
“… … .”
Canis, who was full of courage, asked with a playful tone. It was no different from this when he sensed something and quickly bit into it.
I quietly took a deep breath. Many characters appear in [Difficult Dungeon]. There were as many different personalities as there were different characters.
“Is it best?”
“Of course~ This is the best for me~”
Among them, there were many characters with personalities that were difficult to associate with. One of them is the Canis right in front of you.
But the being beyond this had a nuisance that far surpassed even that Canis.
“okay. let’s go.”
Let’s just learn blood magic and leave. There is no need to get involved after that. When I thought about it that way, I felt a little better.
In response to my lament, Canis giggled and knocked.
-Come on in.
A high voice that seems calm. The slightly cracked voice sounded like a cat meowing.
After hearing the answer, Canis slowly opened the door. A strong herbal scent filled the open space.
“hmm? “You’re Canis, right?”
The owner of the lab was very happy to see Canis, and only then did I hear a familiar voice.
“The person behind you… … silver … … who.”
The owner of the lab gradually became quiet as he watched me slowly following behind Canis.
I also had my eyes completely on her. Her dark brown hair was the first thing that caught her eye. She was a serious woman with her voluminous hair tied up in a long hairpin.
“Hmm~ The atmosphere is strange~”
The only face visible below was the eyes. The face just below the eyes was that of an oriental man with a peculiar appearance, covered by a mask.
Instead of the school uniform everyone was wearing, I saw someone wearing a flowing traditional costume from the Far East.
“honey?”
“… … ?”
The character commonly known as ‘RMP’. ‘The sorcerer of the Far East, Aro (阿老)’ started talking nonsense from the first time we met.
Thanks to this, Canis looked at me with a somewhat unhealthy gaze. I shook my head quietly. It was absolutely the first time we had met each other.
“Hmm~ I don’t know~ That’s the~ relationship~”
“Of course not.”
“oh. “Who is this handsome young man?”
I hastily put an end to Canis’ misunderstanding. Aro was busy looking at my face with hearts in his eyes.
“Erase everything in your head.”
I threateningly watched Canis’s expression change from moment to moment. I was afraid of what kind of strange things he would imagine with his abundant imagination.
I sighed heavily. Aro was a serious idiot and had an unfiltered personality that just spit out whatever was on his mind.
“Oh my. “Look at the bridge of your nose.”
“Husband~”
“Is this crazy? Seriously.”
Aro, who had his face on his right hand, kept saying that I was handsome, and Canis did not miss this opportunity to tease me.
“How many children… … evil!”
“Oh my. Look at the force.”
I quickly reached out to Canis, who wouldn’t stop teasing me. I grabbed him by the back of his neck and gave him a hard slap.
Canis screamed and fell out, and Aro squealed and said that even that was cool.
“we. “It’s my first time meeting you.”
“Yeah. I know. I’ve never seen anyone this handsome before.”
“… … “It looks like you have no intention of talking.”
Aro didn’t seem to have any intention of talking quietly. I closed my eyes tightly. I can’t believe I’m talking with My Face, who is even better than Canis.
It was an absurd thing.
