Academy’s Second Seat

taken from readwn.com

Magic practice class classroom.

When I got there, there was only one student.

“hello.”

That person was Princess Li, whom I had met last time.

A class with only two students.

Anyone could think of it as a class running to the extreme of inefficiency.

However, there was a reason for that.

In magic practice, the level of students with low grades and those with high grades was very different.

What students with low grades learn is an extension of the theory class.

Because there were students who did not know how to use magic among them.

However, students with excellent magic skills were already able to use magic to some extent.

Therefore, there was no need for additional theory classes for students with high grades.

It was more efficient to finish the theory class in the theory class and learn other magic during the practical class.

“Hello, Princess Li, how are you?”

I politely greeted Princess Li.

“Hey, you don’t have to. They are the same age anyway.”

“no.”

“Hmmm…. Do I want to get acquainted with Prince Rudy?”

Lee smiled at me and said.

However, I have no desire to become friends.

Right now, I’m the best at the academy.

The brightest star in the Academy.

However, for the princess who wants to become the sun, I am nothing but a stumbling block.

Even if there was a star brighter than the sun itself, it only seemed to fade away, but it didn’t help the sun in any way.

Why would you want to make friends with someone who is so helpless?

If the cubs are the number one avoidance target, Princess Li is the number one avoidable object.

Neither the mouse nor the bird could bury me without knowing it.

– Druck.

The front door of the classroom opened and the professor entered.

A sparse beard appears on his sparsely bald head.

It was a bad impression.

The professor put the book he was holding in his hand on his desk with an indifferent face.

“Are there two students this year?”

The professor looked at Li and me in turn.

dry eyes.

It wasn’t as if they were looking at the duke’s second son and the imperial princess.

Professors and students, regardless of their status, are beings above the professor.

However, society was not that simple.

If the student’s status was high, the professor could be under the student.

It felt like I was standing on the same line even if I wasn’t below.

However, the way Professor Lee looked at us seemed to be just looking at an insignificant student.

“Call me Professor Cromwell.”

Cromwell introduced himself briefly.

He did not reveal his name, only his surname.

It was a very rude greeting, but Rie and I just stared at each other.

“Then let’s see your skills?”

As Cromwell waved his hand, the desks and chairs flew sideways.

“Fight each other from now on.”

“yes?”

Lie frowned at Cromwell’s words.

“Fight.”

It wasn’t funny.

Ordinary student… No, it’s not ordinary, but still, where is the professor who takes the students and tells them to fight?

Situations in which students usually fight are prohibited except for duels and actual evaluations.

Me and Lee have no intention of fighting right now.

In a state where the two did not intend to fight, even a professor could not force it.

Obviously, a professor is higher than a student, but he is not a person higher than the set laws.

The place is not an academy alley, but a classroom with students and professors.

So there was no justification for such violence.

“Are you saying you’re ignoring the rules?”

Lee brought out my favorite words.

I must never fight Lee.

As a me who only used magic for a while yesterday, I can’t fight the princess on an equal footing.

It sounds like my skills are being exposed.

Even if there is a difference between fighting in person and using magic normally, if you look at the range of use of magic, both the princess and the professor will feel strange.

“Then you mean you’re going to ignore the professor?”

Cromwell raised an eyebrow at Princess Li’s words.

“It sounds like that might be the case depending on the situation.”

You must never fight.

Obviously, if you fight the princess, you won’t be able to properly block the magic and you’ll be rolling around unsightly.

This rumor will spread throughout the academy.

The princess had no reason not to spread these rumors.

Rumors that a senior who made a statement ignoring everyone in front of people and was disgruntled by the second seat was so provocative.

I made up my mind and opened my mouth.

“It’s okay.”

Then, the eyes of the professor and Rie were focused on me.

“Does that mean that you can judge us by the way we fight?”

I brought out the theory.

“Then Professor Cromwell, why don’t you go to a place that teaches mercenaries rather than Riberion Academy?”

This class does not teach how to fight.

It is literally a magic practice class.

A class that teaches you how to use magic effectively.

A class that teaches you how to use different types of magic.

That’s a magic practice class.

Magic doesn’t exist to fight.

There is only the act of fighting among the various ways to use it.

However, the command to fight the two of us here had to be rejected.

“This class doesn’t seem worth taking.”

I snorted arrogantly.

Then I headed to the back door of the classroom.

“Are you saying you are going to disobey my orders?”

Cromwell spoke to me in a threatening tone.

If you go out like this, you may be at a disadvantage.

But, if I lose trivially here, I’ll just be reduced to a third-rate bastard.

That’s never going to happen.

The words are so flashy, but it’s actually an escape.

Running away without thinking is ugly, but strategically running away is courage and wisdom.

I looked at Professor Cromwell and opened my mouth.

“It’s disobedience.”

opened the back door.

“Am I personal? to obey?”

Hearing that, Cromwell bowed his head.

“Heh heh heh…”

As I was about to leave, Cromwell suddenly began to burst out laughing.

“Khahahahahaha…”

and laughed out loud.

Princess Li looked at Cromwell with round eyes.

“I’m sorry. That’s right. You are not dogs. Come into the classroom.”

I frowned at the sight.

What are we going to do?

“I’ve tested you guys, don’t worry and come in.”

test······?

I realized the intent of this eccentric professor.

“It was a little different from my intentions, but since I got to the point that I don’t fight, I think it’s the right answer.”

Cromwell smiled and continued.

“You are the strongest freshman in this academy. Being the strongest student means that you are currently the strongest of your age in the Empire. Such strong guys should not use their power recklessly. You should always think about whether you are on the right path.”

Princess Li looked at me with a surprised face.

no. I didn’t mean that I didn’t think about that and don’t fight…

“You must not use force recklessly. If you like it, you can kill people like you kill ants under your feet.”

Cromwell looked at me with a benevolent smile with a grim expression.

“What I was trying to teach in the first class was the meaning of the fact that you use force. If you think you are wrong under any pressure, you should not use force. That’s the basic mindset of a wizard. However······.”

Cromwell beckoned, and two of the desks that had been removed flew out and flew into the center of the classroom.

“You don’t seem to have anything to teach me about attitude.”

“……”

Did you get any good results?

“Then it’s all about your mindset. You really need to check your level.”

Professor Cromwell then handed us a piece of paper.

“Although this class is a hands-on class, you can use magic well if you have a basic theory as the foundation. So I’m going to give you a short test to see how well you know the theory.”

oh

f*cked.

I’d rather have fought Lee.

The magic knowledge I currently have in my head is almost non-existent.

A fight is not even a fight… … .

I took the test paper with tears in my heart.

“It’s an exam that doesn’t go into the evaluation, so there’s no need to feel pressured.”

Hearing those words, I was somewhat relieved.

After all, only Professor Cromwell knows about that score… … Wouldn’t that be a problem?

@

Professor Cromwell’s lab.

“It’s fun.”

Cromwell was reading about student information after class.

Rudy of the Duke of Astria and Rie, the first princess of the Empire.

There have been few students like Lee so far.

However, it was difficult to say that they had faith.

Maybe it’s because he’s just a model student who follows the rules.

These were not the students Cromwell wanted.

He wanted a guy who could resist even if the laws of the Empire force him.

A guy with his own beliefs.

In that sense, Rudy Astria was interesting.

arrogant and arrogant guy.

However, this didn’t matter.

Originally, a capable wizard is arrogant and arrogant.

no. Those wizards are not arrogant.

What should I do if the people around me are really behind me and my grades are not right?

If a lion is like a lion and an ant sees it and says that he is handsome, only the lion is unfair.

“…?”

When I tried to grade Rudy Astria’s exam paper, it was empty.

He said that it was not a test that entered the grades, but he did not write a single letter.

Is the test too easy?

Or, are you not satisfied with the fact that you tested yourself?

Cromwell just handed over the paper.

After all, he’s the one who won the Academy Award, so he probably already knew everything.

The reason for evaluating the theory like this in the original practice class is because of the guys who are not good at using magic, though they are not good at theory.

Guys who just use magic with their senses.

Those guys have a high practice class, but their overall grades are low.

Originally, I was preparing for an exam to find out about these guys.

By the way, aren’t they the chief and the second seat anyway?

There was no reason to care.

-smart.

“Come in.”

A woman came in with Cromwell’s words and some papers.

“professor. I’m here to get a letter of recommendation.”

red hair.

It was a woman with neatly raised hair.

Dressing was also very modest.

“Have you come to pick it up already?”

It was a word that looked like it was standing slightly, but it had a smile on its face.

“Wouldn’t it be better if we did it sooner?”

The woman also smiled as if she was familiar with that way of speaking and handed over the documents.

The contents of the document were a recommendation letter from the student council president.

“Isn’t it difficult to maintain a senior position if you take the position of chairman?”

“You can sleep less.”

She said it was nothing.

Cromwell laughed, signed the paperwork, and handed it over to her.

“thank you.”

She smiled and accepted the paperwork.

“Isn’t this first year hard?”

“Are you worried about me?”

She shrugged playfully.

“There are some interesting guys.”

“Are you a funny guy?”

she asked with a slightly puzzled face.

“Rudy Astria.”

She made a surprised face and then smiled.
