Academy’s Second Seat

Chapter 31

Weekend lunch in the warm sun.

Some people overslept and some left the academy to go home for a while, so the academy felt very leisurely.

At such a leisurely time, there were people enjoying the tea party, hahahaha.

“You must have been really scared… … .”

Lie was drinking tea with some students at the bakery.

Social Life.

Lee had a social life.

He had been drinking tea from lunch on the weekend with guys he wasn’t even close to with a fake smile.

“Still, thanks to Astina sunbaenim, I was able to get out safely~.”

A story from when I was in the forest school.

It had been a few days already, but everyone was listening with interest.

Except for Rudine Joe, the student council and professors came to the rescue and nothing happened.

As a result, the other students did not know what was going on in Forest School, and they were listening to Rie’s story with interest.

“That’s how I managed to get out.”

After finishing the story of Forest School to some extent, Lie brought up the main topic.

“Aren’t your parents more concerned about the incident than that?”

“Everyone is very worried. He told me to go back to my family once and see your face.”

“okay? Then this… … .”

Lie beckoned and the waitress standing behind came with items.

“this… … What?”

The students in front widened their eyes when they saw the object.

“Ah~ It is said that a lot of good things came out this time at the Rotane Manor. So, I prepared to make friends. When you return to the estate, bring a present, so your parents will like it. Worry less.”

The students could not help but admire the gift.

The object was a ruby.

A very well-processed ruby was in the box.

“Can I take this… … .”

“Ah~. We can do this kind of gift between us. Don’t be shy and accept it.”

Rie smiled as if it wasn’t a big deal and said to them.

Rie’s expression and inner feelings were different.

‘How much is that… … . ha… … .’

Li was also a burdensome jewel to buy.

Nevertheless, the reason for giving it is because the guys in front of it are nobles who have estates near Garwell’s family.

After this incident, Garwell’s family, the Hendrays, said that Garwell’s actions were arbitrary and had nothing to do with the family.

But, doesn’t it make sense?

Garwell has never left the family estate since he was young, and now he has come to the academy after leaving the estate.

Where did such a guy meet the rebels?

Lee had a keen eye on this situation.

‘Where are you going to run away?’

No matter how much he tried to cut off Garwell, it was a lie.

However, there was no evidence, so he just stood still.

However, the proof will be discovered soon, so it was just a waste of time.

Then why do you want to waste time?

The reason was quickly discovered.

The Handley owner looked like he was trying to steal his fortune.

And you’re going to run away

Hearing the news that a lot of merchants are hanging around near the Handlay estate, I can be more confident.

So Lee decided.

I’m going to press you before you run away.

The Handlay estate is a little far from the center.

So, rather than sending troops from the center to press, it was more efficient for the heads of the neighboring provinces to press.

Rie smiled and looked at the students in front of her.

If you give these students a ruby and send them home, the owners will know what I mean.

If nothing moves after receiving this… … .

The recipients will know better what will happen.

“Then, please.”

“Yes Yes!”

Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off the ruby that Rie had given them, and answered.

Rie looked so pathetic that she was about to let out a sigh.

Still, I sighed and tried to proceed with the tea party as planned.

“Then, for today’s dessert—.”

“I… … .”

As Li was smiling and trying to speak, the employee from behind bowed his head and brought his mouth to Li’s ear.

And whispered a little.

“I… … Confucius Rudy Astria outside… … .”

“… … Rudy?”

Rie thought for a moment and then asked the employee.

“Why are you here?”

Obviously, I mentioned that I am having a tea party with some nobles at the bakery today.

After the tea party, we wanted to talk, but I didn’t expect to come here in person.

“I don’t know about that… … . I was drinking tea in the store, so he told me to come when I was done… … .”

Hearing that, Rie thought for a moment and then smiled.

Then he smiled and said to the students in front of him.

“Today’s dessert will be packaged separately. Go home and eat.”

“… … yes?”

The students sitting in front looked at Li with bewildered faces.

It was obviously a tea party to promote friendship, but it took less than 30 minutes to get together.

Dessert had not yet been served, but the host was telling us to go back to the room.

Everyone looked at Rie with bewildered faces, and Rie opened her mouth with a smile that she didn’t know anything.

“dissatisfaction… … Are you there?”

It certainly looked like an innocent laugh, but the words that came out of his mouth were very bloody.

“ah… … no! It’s the weekend! You better go to your room and rest!”

“under… under… ! fit… … you’re right!”

The students sitting in front laughed awkwardly.

Seeing this, Rie smiled satisfied and got up from her seat.

“Then, please?”

Having said that, he went outside.

When I went outside, I saw Rudy Astria looking at the dessert.

“hey.”

Rie called Rudy like that.

“… … what? Aren’t you having a tea party?”

Rudy looked at Rie with a puzzled face.

“Did you just come out?”

“no… … I didn’t mean to come out right away. I was going to wait while eating dessert too.”

I looked at Rudy’s hand and saw she was holding some desserts.

“Then let’s eat.”

“What?”

Lie looked around and picked up some desserts herself.

“The egg tarts here are delicious. You eat one too.”

“… … okay?”

Lie naturally chose the dessert and handed it over to Rudy.

“… … what.”

“You buy it. You said you wanted to meet me.”

“It is, but there is a promise we made at the forest school.”

Then, Lee made a face as if he didn’t know anything.

“yes? I don’t know?”

Rudy looked at it and sighed.

“Yes, I will live. How much do you do this… … .”

“Coffee, please.”

Rudy looked at Rie for a moment as she said that, then shook her head and went to count.

Despite the reaction, it was Rudy who counted the desserts and coffee Rie gave her.

“I mean, you listen very well.”

Rie looked at Rudy, who was counting, happily.

After school, the academy.

The academy looked very peaceful from the outside, but there was a big commotion on the inside.

The problem was that once the academy was breached and rebels attempted to assassinate.

Even if it happened at a forest school outside the academy, there was a lot of criticism for not responding properly.

In contrast, Astina’s fame was skyrocketing.

First of all, he received great praise for saving Rie, and he also received high praise for the fact that there were few injured students as he led the student council.

Of course, I was able to respond because I gave Astina a hint.

Astina ordered the student council to patrol the area under the pretext of catching one intruder, and she was waiting at the place I was talking about.

The result was perfect.

The student council scattered around responded to the assassin and succeeded in holding out until the professors and assistants arrived.

All the balls that responded in this way went to Astina.

“However, it has become difficult to meet.”

I patted my chin.

Astina had been visiting the principal and several high-profile people for several days, so it was difficult to see her face.

In addition, it seemed that he was not even in the academy now.

“how… … Did things go well?”

There were two things I asked Astina for.

One was that Andrei’s sword had to be handed over to Evan, and the other was that Yeniel had to be left at the academy.

It would be easy to get Andrei’s sword, but Yeniel wondered what happened.

These days, Yeniel hasn’t been seen anywhere in the academy.

However, when I asked nearby students, I heard that they were injured and hospitalized at the Forest School.

Still, it was positive in that the students did not see Yeniel as an assassin.

The proper conclusion will be known only after meeting with Astina.

And after forest school ended, my life changed a bit.

He began to learn black magic in earnest from Professor Robert.

“How are you?”

after class.

In Professor Robert’s lab, I saw Professor Robert lying on the sofa in a garni sweatshirt.

“Is it today? … .”

“okay. Don’t do it if you don’t want to.”

“no.”

To be honest, I didn’t learn black magic.

– What do you think is the most basic of black magic?

-… … I do not know.

-The basis of black magic is stamina.

After hearing those words, I started playing on the playground.

Professor Robert was just lying in the sun taking a nap and I was just running around the playground.

At first, I thought that Professor Robert would change into sweatpants and run together, but he just changed because the suit was uncomfortable.

There was nothing wrong with me, but what would I do?

“Whew… … Whoops… … .”

I ran 2 hours every day like this.

I was a bit irritable when I was exercising, but I was quite satisfied after I finished.

There was also an issue of lack of stamina at the forest school, so I tried to do this kind of exercise.

By the way, it was said that this kind of exercise was helpful for black magic, and Professor Robert gave me the exercise directly, which was a relief.

After a while, I stopped running around the playground and exhaled.

“after… … .”

As I wiped the sweat with my sleeve, Professor Robert opened his mouth.

“Some people have come today, so let’s go this far.”

Person?

At Professor Robert’s words, I looked to the side and saw Lee standing there.

Lee indifferently threw a water bottle at me.

“Hey, take it.”

The bottle was filled with cool water.

“What are you preparing for all this?”

“It’s the price I bought you for dessert last time. And this.”

Lee threw another wad of paper at me.

“Astina said that she was busy these days, so I wouldn’t be able to meet her. It’s just a deal written about how things are going now.”

“Oh thank you.”

The last time I bought you dessert, I asked you to come up with a way to meet Astina, but I didn’t expect to get an answer so quickly.

Astina must be somewhere else due to the forest school case, but how did you get in touch? … .

With such doubts, I opened the paper Lie gave me.

To summarize what was written there, it was about going according to our plan.

Regarding Yeniel, he said that he signed a contract with Principal McDowell so that he could attend the academy normally, and that he handed it over to Evan through Principal Andrei’s kendo.

I handed over Garwell as a reward for catching him or something.

It is said that when Evan received Andrei’s sword, he was able to win because Luna and Locke helped him, and he tried to hand it over to them.

However, it is said that they were well received by the principal’s persuasion and that there would be separate rewards for Luna and Locke.

“Hmm… … .”

Rie stared at me as I was wiping my sweat.

Something was looking up and down.

“Why do you look like that?”

Lie grabbed her chin and scanned my body a few more times.

“My body is not as good as I thought.”

“What kind of body do you want from a wizard?”

Lie looked at her body like that, then turned around.

“I told you, so now I go.”
