Academy’s Second Seat

The day has come.

The day I was most worried about.

It was midterm exam day.

Liberion Academy does not split the exams over several days, but takes all exams in one day.

So you have to put all your energy into it every day.

“Rudy, good luck on the exam!”

Luna greeted me and headed to the classroom where she would take the exam.

I’ve been working really hard all this time.

I did not take a day off to review and prepare thoroughly.

There was no proper rest day after possessing.

It was only study.

“Whew… … .”

I calmed my nervousness and entered the classroom.

Obviously, what I need to occupy is the second seat.

But I had no intention of taking the second seat.

It was the mind that only aimed at the chief.

That way you can get a second seat.

“Now, put in what you all saw, and put only writing instruments on the desk.”

The professor standing in front gave instructions about the test and handed out test papers.

“Now, let’s start the exam.”

And with the professor’s words, the exam began.

I solved the questions on the exam paper one by one.

It was my first experience.

I knew all the questions on the exam paper.

It just felt so easy.

So, one page at a time, I solved the problem.

So, I passed all the liberal arts exams.

After a short break, the most important test began.

Magic.

The magic test was conducted for a long time and was divided into two types: a question about practice and a question about theory.

And all the professors who entered the class gave their problems in their own style.

The most difficult problem when studying the genealogy was the problem of Professor Cromwell.

Even though it was obviously a first-year exam, I couldn’t solve it by asking for knowledge related to intermediate magic.

In fact, it seemed like a problem that could not be solved.

I remembered that fact and solved the problem.

Then, at a glance, I found Professor Cromwell’s problem.

“ah… … .”

-Describe the principle of silent magic and the characteristics when engraved on the magic circle.

The only professor who ends a problem with a noun.

It was Professor Cromwell’s problem.

However, the problem that came up made my head throb.

“It’s a question I asked you to solve… … ?”

I muttered to myself so much that no one could hear me.

I was wondering if this could be the case.

Silent magic itself is a unique magic, so it was a problem that an ordinary student could not solve.

Everyone concentrated on elementary magic, but no one cared about intermediate magic.

I grabbed my head.

Should I solve this or not?

I would never be able to solve an ordinary first-year student, but it could not be the top-ranked students.

The difficulty level of the questions is relatively easy compared to other years.

Silent Magic Because it is such a unique magic, some people may have heard of it at least once.

So I couldn’t fill in the blanks.

“Only half… … Take half of it.”

I decided to write only what Professor Cromwell told me.

To be honest, I’ve made magic circles before, so I can use all of them, but I decided to only use what I was told.

“please… … Evan, write it all down and give it to me.”

I muttered to myself and moved on to the next question.

“Well, everyone did a good job.”

The long exam time has passed.

With the professor’s words, everyone got up from their seats and left the classroom.

‘Am I not going to be the chief?’

There was something unsettling but happy.

First of all, I was satisfied that my efforts were not in vain.

“Let’s rest today… … .”

I felt like my whole body was exhausted.

I went there thinking that I had to study every day, but I never felt any tension in my body.

However, when I took the exam, I felt that something was over and the tension was relieved.

It wasn’t really over, but it felt like the first gate had been crossed.

My legs were shaking and it was hard to get up from my seat.

“Rudy! Did you do well on the exam?”

When I got up, Luna entered the classroom I was in.

“I think I did well.”

Inwardly, I thought I looked really good, but I thought there was no reason to brag.

“Today, Rika and Ena are going to the bakery in Pikasie, would you like to go together?”

Bakery in Picassie.

This is a famous cafe in the Liberion Academy.

It is a place where commoners and lower aristocrats like to go rather than high-ranking aristocrats.

Although the price was not so reasonable, I heard that the atmosphere and the taste of the desserts were amazing.

I heard it’s difficult to make a reservation because it’s so popular, but it seems like they made a reservation.

“I want to rest today.”

I’ve been wanting to go there at least once, but it’s not like I’m stuck between me.

Even if she doesn’t know Anna, she’s sure to get a lively look from Rika.

And the three girls are not ignorant enough to fit in.

Even if Luna doesn’t know, the two of them will definitely feel uncomfortable with me.

“okay? I’m sorry… … Then let’s go together next time!”

“okay. Come play well.”

I dragged my weak body toward the dormitory.

There was no one near the dormitory.

He must have gone to another place to play after the test was over.

However, there was only one.

Someone like me who drags around like a zombie.

“Rudy Astria?”

It was Astina.

She had dark dark circles under her eyes and her hair was not properly groomed.

A face that seems to be drenched in fatigue.

It was like seeing an office worker leaving work at around 10 pm in modern times.

However, such fatigue did not overshadow Astina’s beauty.

Rather, it had a decadent charm.

“Hello—.”

“paper… … Do not look!”

Astina turned around and turned her back to me.

And I touched my hair as if I was trying to trim my hair with my hands, but it felt more messy.

“… … What are you doing?”

“that… … .”

Astina covered her face with her hand and looked at me.

“I’m busy with work, so don’t go!”

Astina roughly greeted me and tried to run up to the dormitory.

Then I stopped walking.

“Rudy Astria! I have work to do tomorrow, so come to the student council room after class!”

Astina said to me, covering her face with her hands.

And after finishing what he wanted to say, he ran back up.

“… … what.”

I watched Astina jumping up and went to my room thinking it was okay.

next day.

Test results were posted on the bulletin board.

Did you score so many exam papers in one day? … .

The separated teaching assistants became imaginary.

It usually takes several days for grades to be posted even with machines in modern times.

Are teaching assistants superior to machines?

I checked the grades written on the bulletin board.

The exact score was not posted, only the rank was written.

“ah… … .”

1. Evan

2. Rudy Astria

3. Lie von Listonia

4. Serena Linsberg

5. Luna Railer

… …

When I saw that bulletin board, the corners of my lips seemed to go up.

I was happy that Evan took the first place, but I was so happy that I took the second seat and it was hard to control my lips.

However, I couldn’t rejoice in front of other people.

I have to play a very upset state.

Because I lost the chief and became the second seat.

I walked forward with the corners of my wriggling lips as immobile as possible.

“Rudy… … .”

Then, Luna’s voice came from behind.

“Oh, hello. Luna.”

I greeted Luna while taking care of the corners of my lips as much as possible.

It sounded like he was saying something like a machine, but he could only say this.

“Rudy… … it’s okay?”

Luna asked me with a worried face.

I felt so good that I wasn’t okay.

Although she trusted Luna, she couldn’t say this straight away.

“You have risen a lot. congratulation.”

It was something I wouldn’t normally say, but these were the only words I could think of.

“Rudy… … .”

“I will go.”

“Wait, Rudy. Are you coming to the library today?”

“You don’t think you can go today? I have a job with the student council.”

Astina said she had work to do, so it was probably difficult to go to the library.

I’d rather not wait because I don’t know what to do.

“ah… … Student Council… … .”

Luna’s expression hardened for a moment, then smiled as usual.

“OK got it… … !”

Luna smiled and greeted me.

I saw Luna moving away like that, and I felt something strangely unsettling.

“… … Shall we go to the library when we finish early?”

After class, I headed to the student council room.

He seemed to have done a pretty good job of taking care of the corners of his lips during class.

When I entered the student council room, Astina was sitting in the chair of the president, reading papers.

“hello.”

Astina raised her head when she heard my voice.

Then he looked at my face and frowned.

“… … Why do you look like that?”

“yes?”

“Is there something wrong with your expression?”

“Are you saying I look bad?”

I thought I was good at my acting.

“No, I feel bad when I see you.”

Astina took the mirror in front of her and reflected my face.

Looking in the mirror, he seemed to know what Astina was saying.

There was a very handsome blond man in the mirror.

A man with sharp eyes.

However, the corners of his mouth moved up and down, and he had a subtle expression that was neither smiling nor angry.

He was reluctant to get close to something.

“It makes me feel bad.”

“You know.”

Astina put the mirror down.

“It’s better than your intentions.”

When Astina said that, the corners of her lips rose.

“Fufu… … .”

I used to think that I was very good at managing my facial expressions and acting, but today it was hard to bear.

“You look so mean… … .”

Astina looked at my expression and said.

“Well, that’s better. Anyway, what are you going to do now?”

“how… … is it?”

“It went as planned. Someone else took the senior seat.”

That’s right.

“There is nothing else to do. We just have to wait a little bit until we get to the forest school.”

“A forest school?”

Astina looked at me with a questioning face.

“If there is nothing to do, there is nothing I can do to help. Then let’s get to work.”

“All right.”

Astina handed me the papers.

I did the things Astina told me to do.

After some work was done, I went out with a light footstep.

“Is it too late?”

It was already time for dinner.

“I’m going to stop by the dormitory for a while and have dinner with Luna.”

I moved on with joy.

Some of the worries are now gone.

Luna didn’t even break the library, and I took the second seat with no problem.

Magic is also growing smoothly, so there is nothing to worry about.

After I got out, I looked up at the sky.

“Why is the weather like this?”

It felt good, but when I looked up at the sky, I saw that it was full of dark clouds.

I felt gloomy.

Clearly, things are going well, but I feel a bit uneasy.

At the same time I felt that dreadful feeling… … .

– aan!!!!

A strong burst rang through the academy.

“What… … ?”

I looked to where the sound was coming from.

The sound was… … It was a library.

“library… … Luna… … ?”
