Academy’s Second Seat

After the incident in the magic practice class, I was worried.

I thought that submitting the exam papers as blank papers would be a problem.

However, Professor Cromwell said nothing.

He just came to me for a moment and said, “Next time, do it properly.”

I continued my academy life without much difference.

During the day, I study hard, and at night I review and prepare.

It was an ordinary student life.

If there is a slight change…

“It’s 50 Cooper.”

It was about getting up early in the morning and going to the store to buy bread.

This bread is placed in Luna’s locker.

It wasn’t a meaningful action.

Just because I know how sad it is to not be able to eat when you are hungry.

When I was young, I went to a church retreat or something like that.

I didn’t go because I had any particular faith, I just went to play.

The church made the students who went there to fast and pray.

I was in a situation where I couldn’t even eat properly at the place I went to play, and I only prayed every day.

The helplessness and shock I felt at that time when I was young was beyond my imagination.

Luna also came here to study, didn’t she come to study fasting?

I’m not doing anything bad, I’m just giving out good bread, so it didn’t seem like there would be a big problem.

“Is it soon?”

Now, Luna’s hidden story begins.

If I were Evan, I should have gotten Luna’s favor before that.

However, Evan and I are different.

In the beginning, Rudy Astria had an advantage over Evan.

Rudy Astria’s money, abilities, and status are not inferior to Evan’s.

Even my grades were still better.

So, as Evan, you don’t need to do any pre-work, unlike when you progress through the story.

Luna’s hidden story.

The story begins with Luna receiving praise from the professor during a presentation in a magic theory class.

A theory that an ordinary student would not have thought of.

Professor Maguire sees him and calls out Luna.

Professor Maguire, who knows about Luna’s circumstances, tells Luna that he will support her.

Instead, the condition is to bring similar achievements within the midterm.

If he proves himself, he promises to pay all tuition for three years.

From this point on, Luna stays in the library and begins to study magic.

However, as the time draws nearer, Luna’s heart becomes urgent.

In a hurry, Luna finally takes out her treasure, the Spellbook.

There were many things written in the magic book.

However, black magic was also written in it.

Luna chooses one of the spells from the spell book and casts it, but that magic was black magic.

Luna, who lacked a lot, casts it without even knowing it is black magic.

Black magic has a strong destructive power, but when you fail to cast magic, mental contamination occurs.

Luna, whose mind is tainted, runs out of mana and destroys the library, and is punished.

If Evan intervenes in such a story, Evan will stop the runaway Luna.

Luna didn’t have that strong ability, so Evan was able to block it.

Then, the case is closed without any damage to the library, and in that case, Luna goes to the academy normally without being disciplined.

Of course, Professor Maguire’s proposal will fail, but…

However, I’m not going to make this problem happen at all.

Professor Maguire’s proposal event takes place a few days after Luna’s announcement.

I’ll make a suggestion to Luna before that.

to subsidize tuition.

I have a ridiculous amount of money in my pocket for tuition.

My purpose is not Luna.

I don’t care if Luna is flirting with Evan or whatever.

My purpose is a magic book.

The magic book Luna has is the record of the Imperial Wizard Levian.

It’s a record he’s been studying all his life.

For some reason, Levian meets Luna before he dies and hands the spellbook to Luna.

That spell book is a treasure.

A treasure that cannot be compared with gold nuggets.

I am strong now.

However, if you ask if this strength can be maintained, the answer is no.

It is very difficult for me, who is just a criminal, to grow up equally among geniuses.

In order to maintain strength, we have to win these performances.

Giyeon that has nothing to do with Evan.

And even if Luna doesn’t destroy the library, it doesn’t affect the story in any way.

When Evan doesn’t pay attention to Luna, it’s just a line in the event log.

“It’s going well.”

I’m noticing other parts besides this one.

I’m watching Evan from time to time to see what he’s doing.

Evan looked like he was concentrating on his studies.

Studying without paying attention to Luna.

I didn’t see any contact with the other guys yet, so there was nothing else to worry about.

After finishing the class, I went to the restaurant by myself.

As I continued to eat alone, I felt like I was used to loneliness.

“hi?”

A red-haired woman came to me with a plate.

“Can I sit down?”

He looked like a sophomore when he saw that he was wearing a green scarf.

Who is it that you came to me?

I searched my mind.

Red hair… sophomore year….

“Yes, please sit down.”

This guy was the second-year senior and student council president…

“Call me Astina Persia.”

She smiled and introduced herself.

@

Astina investigated Rudy Astria.

He was too foolish to be called the second son who was hidden by the superiority of the eldest son.

The bad events of the Astrian family could be heard all too easily.

This was his problem.

Originally, it was difficult to find bad rumors about the restraints of high families.

Because the family tried to hide all the rumors.

However, it was not Rudy Astria.

The rumor that he was a child abandoned by the Astrian family seemed to be true.

Rumors at the academy were also bad.

A short speech at the entrance ceremony.

Among the sons of the nobles, there were many sayings that they lowered the authority of the nobles.

It was criticized for being an attitude that even commoners should do.

And Professor Maguire’s attitude in class was also enough to make everyone disliked.

However, compared to those actions, their actions were too ordinary.

I study hard, and I go into the room and don’t come out.

The assholes he saw went out to enjoy the nightlife.

Not only did they not study, there were also those who didn’t show up properly in class.

Rudy Astria’s actions seemed just like a normal schoolboy.

“What are you doing?”

Why do you directly hate people?

In a small society, the Academy, there was no reason to do that.

Even if he did not inherit the family later, such an attitude was the worst if he wanted to enter politics.

Even if they lived modestly, it was the politicians who bit them.

But I dared to scrape it and make a crumb.

“Hmmm…”

A smile appeared on Astina’s lips.

He seemed to understand why the tricky Professor Cromwell called him a funny guy.

So Astina decided to meet in person.

I thought he was a difficult opponent to judge based on rumors.

After finding out that he ate alone every day, he went to see him.

“hi?”

grim expression.

“Can I sit down?”

“yes. Sit down.”

Compared to what was evaluated as arrogant, he was polite.

“Call me Astina Persia.”

“This is Rudy Astria.”

Rudy introduced herself casually.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Aren’t you the 2nd year senior?”

know about me

It was quite famous in the school, so I expected this.

But this guy’s attitude was amazing.

Be polite, but don’t do anything else.

The conversation was cut off when I kept saying short answers.

It felt like something was pushing me away.

And I didn’t feel like a person who kept walking alone.

Any person will feel lonely if they keep walking alone.

When I feel lonely, I try to say many things when someone approaches me first.

However, this guy was different.

“Do you know why I am here?”

“I do not know.”

“That’s what it is… huh?”

Rudy suddenly stood up.

“I’m going to leave after eating all the rice.”

are you going?

Aren’t you curious?

Why am I here?

and······.

“I haven’t eaten yet?”

Compared to Rudy’s empty plate, Astina hadn’t even started eating properly yet, so it was full of food.

“Then enjoy.”

“Hey, if you go, I’m alone.”

Astina stuttered her words in embarrassment.

“I eat alone every day, and it’s pretty good.”

Rudy turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

Astina followed Rudy with a plate.

“Hello, Astina!”

“Uhhh hello!”

“Hello senior!”

“Oh yes hello.”

I threw away the food on the plate and tried to chase after it, but my friends and juniors kept talking to me.

After greeting everyone and throwing away the food, Rudy’s figure disappeared into the distance.

Astina stopped walking after trying to chase him.

“······What is that?”

Astina just stared at Rudy who was disappearing.

It was the first time such treatment.

He was born as a marquise and grew up without being ignored by anyone.

Even when he came to the academy, he never missed the senior.

Neither high-ranking people nor professors of the academy treat themselves like this.

– Knuckle.

“······I’m hungry.”

Astina walked towards the kiosk, tumbling like an abandoned puppy.

@

“Why is this strange person tangled up?”

I grumbled and headed for the next class.

Astina Persia.

He is the second-year senior and student council president.

There will be an election for the student council president soon, so the president will be elected at that time.

I didn’t want to get involved with Astina.

Astina is not a very important supporting role.

All the main stories are conducted mainly for the first year.

I usually don’t get involved with other grades.

If you just forget it, it was the proportion of showing your face once in a while.

It is worth noting that if another grader like Astina is involved in the main story, all the stories will be solved easily.

Compared to the first year, he must have cheat-level abilities.

Still, the story seems to be tangled, so no matter how lonely I am, I try to minimize encounters…

Then I felt someone tap my back.

I turned around and saw a short, brown-haired woman.

“Luna Railer?”

“Hello?”

Luna was also making an awkward expression on her face.

And trembled like a small animal in front of a wild beast.

“Hey, hey, this class!”

Luna closed her eyes tightly and pointed to the classroom in front of her.

“…this class?”

When I looked at him with strange eyes, he was unable to speak.

Then he held a book in front of me.

[Imperial Politics].

This was my class this time.

And it was a class that overlapped with Luna.

“eww······!”

Suddenly, Luna entered the classroom in front of the back floor.

“… … ?”
