How to Survive at the Academy

Be restrained, Ms. Yenika (1)

“If you want to return to the Ophelis Hall soon, you can come back.”

It was on her way back to the camp after Yenika’s Elemental Society and Elemental Science class had been delivered by Bel Maia.

After stopping by the living quarters to shop, and humming while holding a bundle of paper bags in his arms, he returned to the camp, where he met Bell, who was clearing the road leading to the entrance to the Ophelis Hall.

When Yenica Palerover had just entered school and couldn’t take off her tee from the countryside, and she was fussed over trivial matters, Bell, the senior maid at the time, was the one who helped me the most.

In addition, Bell often came to the camp to manage Lortel’s villa, so it was natural to greet each other warmly whenever they met.

“yes?! It’s okay, I’m fine… In the first place, I was not even disqualified from joining the Office of Ophelis because of my disciplinary action?!”

“Disciplinary procedures entered into by the Academic Disciplinary Committee usually expire within one year. It was a disciplinary case last spring, and autumn is already in full swing this year.”

The road leading to the Ophelis Hall is clean from the beginning. To be honest, I don’t know what else to organize in Jenica’s eyes, but Bell nevertheless was giving instructions to the workers.

It was a part that clearly showed Bell’s personality, who thoroughly manages even the smallest details.

“The fact that a new disciplinary committee has been convened and the statute of limitations has not been renewed is also trying to pass it on at the academic level. Usually, in a year, all the loud noises disappear.”

“That’s right… ?”

“Actually, the fact that Mrs. Tanya is the current student council president also has a big impact. He’s not someone who really deserves to punish Ms. Yenika, but before that… You don’t seem like a foxy enough to care about what happened a year ago… ”

The decision to convene a disciplinary committee rests with the academic headquarters and the student council.

There is some difference in authority between the two, but the effect of the execution plan according to the result of the committee convening does not differ.

It is quite encouraging that Tanya Roth-Taylor is not aggressive in punishing Yenika.

“Not only that, but the students as a whole have a favorable view of Ms. Yenika… If you return to the Ophelis Hall again, there will be no major problems.”

Among students, Yenica Palerover is still popular.

At the beginning of the Glaskan incident, Yenica was consumed by the power of a high-ranking dark spirit, so it is safe to say that there was no intentional or malicious intent… Considering the pouring out of petitions and sympathy among the students since then, even if the disciplinary action ends like this, there will be no headwinds.

“Since the second semester of last year, you have lived out of the dormitory, so when the second semester of this year is over, you will be eligible to join the company again from vacation.”

“I see… ”

“Actually, you asked me like this, but you don’t have the will to come back?”

Surely Bellmaia is sharp.

The wild life of Yenica Palerover has already been circulated among bachelors.

However, it’s just a story circulating between a few people close to Yenica, and it’s strange that all the students are actually interested in it.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m living with Ed Roth Taylor… Some students believe that Ed and Jenica were together until they left.

and… It’s a shame, but…

Yenica had such a misunderstanding… I didn’t really like it… !

“You seem to be very satisfied with living in the camp, so I was wondering if it was a useless remote place… Still, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about it.”

“Yeah, yeah… ?”

“Ophelis Hall is a place where applicants are always crowded like a mountain. If there is an opportunity, it is right that you are aware of it.”

“Yes… thanks Obviously, there are a lot of people who really want to go to the Ophelis Hall… To say I don’t want to go in is to say I’m full… ”

That said, Yenica Palerover has no desire to return to the Ophelis Hall.

“Actually, don’t you prefer living with Bok Ed? Would it be better to omit the name from the list of new hires at the Ophelis Hall? It’s obvious bullshit, but it doesn’t seem like he really hates the rumor that he went until he went… ”

“Yes?! What are you talking about! If such rumors circulate, Ed is in trouble! My mouth hurts from going around cheating with everyone I meet!”

“Is that so… That was my misunderstanding, I’m sorry.”

“Yes. Nope. No apologies, Bell… !”

Bell’s expression as he apologizes thoughtfully doesn’t show a single ounce of sincerity.

In fact, Yenica Palerover’s feelings are clearly visible to Bell Maia. I’m cringing because I’m ashamed of myself, but… From Bell’s point of view, it only feels vague.

To be able to crouch and be shy with just one small touch point is like a privilege for girls of that age.

You should enjoy it as much as you can enjoy it now… After burning in the times of the world and the eyes that judge people dry up, you can’t even taste that thrill.

Belle Maia, who thinks like this, is in a position to never find true romance and youth because of the hardships of life in reality. If the timing is missed, the freshness will also disappear.

Looking at the strangely vague atmosphere of the bell… Yenika was only pulling her hair in a braid.

“Anyway, slowly, a festive atmosphere is starting to creep in at the school. Our Ophelis Hall also holds small banquets, tea parties in the garden, and makes a big fire in the vacant lot at night and sings the band. Even if you are not a freshman, you can participate, so please come once during the festival if you have time with Master Ed.”

“yes. okay! thank you!”

Saying that, Yenica clasped the paper bag full of her arms tightly and answered brightly.

“These days, all of my worries have been resolved, and my expression has improved, so I feel good.”

Before we parted, Bell told Yenika that… Suddenly, Yenika crouched and nodded her head.

*Walking along Haksa at sunset makes you feel relaxed.

After completing a hectic schedule all day, the group of students heading to the living quarters chatting among themselves is warm to see from afar.

With the reddish glow of the sunset and drowsiness, peace resides in the school, and it seems as if you have entered a completely separate world that has nothing to do with the turbulent history outside.

Regardless of the era, the school space has such characteristics.

The land of learning is always a place where students come first.

Of course, being a student does not mean that there are no worries. Worries about schoolwork, worries about career paths, and worries about the task at hand.

The former Yenika Palerover could not be free from such worries, but it has been a long time since she brushed away all of the worries that had been chronically bothering Yenika in recent years.

Although he missed the senior seat, he is no longer worried about his studies thanks to his grades that are still playing at the top level of his bachelor’s degree.

I never seriously thought about my career path. To be honest, you can do anything you set your mind to, but there is no problem if you just go back to your hometown and take over the farm. Although the academic staff who regret Yenika’s talent will shed tears of blood.

Also, expectations and pressures for Yenika have eased considerably after the lead position was transferred to Ed Roth-Taylor. After that, I felt that my relationship was a little more open.

Also, what’s your daily routine like?

If we had to force Ed Roth-Taylor to weave together, why didn’t we start and end each day with him anyway?

I can’t help but force myself to mention Ed Roth-Taylor, but if I insist and persistently push myself to pick one reason why Haru is satisfied, I can’t help but mention the boy’s name.

Even if I talked about gibberish inside, no one was listening, but Yenika, who was walking along the evening sunset, gently rubbed her fingertips.

A life without worries is what everyone dreams of.

It was just the feeling that Yenica Palerover is doing every day, so I thought it was too much of a sense of happiness.

“Heo Eok, more than half of this semester has already passed… ”

“It can be… I have to prepare for graduation from next year… I’ve been so lazy… ”

“I’m also worried about the near-missing score… Now that I’m in 3rd grade, the difficulty of the class jumps really fast.”

“Well, it must have been practice until the second year. Will I be able to survive 4th grade like this? ”

Classmates passed by, sharing their concerns with each other.

He greeted Yenika as if he were welcome, but Yenika only accepted it with a shy smile.

‘me… There’s really nothing to worry about… .?!’

It really makes me want to be like this. If I think about the daily routine I’ve been spending lately, it was a repetition of the day from the beginning of the day to the end of the day, filled with happiness and smiling.

It may sound full, but at this point, it seems like he has just let go of his thoughts.

Still, as a human being, it is inevitable to live with one or two chronic worries or worries in your heart.

Yenica Palerover was a human with no greed or ambition in the first place, so it was satisfactory just to have good grades, no problems with relationships, and to eat well and sleep well.

“… ”

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it was Ed Rothtailer who was worried about Yenica in the end.

Yenika, who is so satisfied with each and every day she spends now, prays alone at night and whenever she goes to sleep. Please let these days without lack continue.

I was lying in bed like that, and one day I swung the cabin door open from the bonfire and looked outside.

Ed Roth Taylor always goes to bed late.

I read more books on my own, do magic sensitization training, or do more chores around camp maintenance… At the end of the day, you end the day by looking at the fire and blanking out your thoughts.

Late night view with a lot of stars in the sky.

Ed Roth Taylor’s serious expression seen through the crack in the door still gleams in Yenika’s eyes.

Unlike Yenica, who always has a happy and satisfying day, Ed Roth Taylor still seems to be carrying a lot of burdens and worries.

While pressing firewood with poker, Ed always ended the day in deep thought.

I got involved in a lot of things with Ed, and in the process, I solved a lot of things.

In the end, he even went to Ed’s home to deal with the coming of evil spirits.

It was too many trials and tribulations for one person to go through, but Ed managed to get through them all.

Even though the family affairs started to be sorted out to some extent, and as Tanya became the student council president, all the hardships and worries she had to go through within the school would have been finished…

It seems that Ed still has a lot of worries and burdens left… At night, when you look at the lights, you fall asleep.

The contrast between Ed’s appearance and his own happiness like heaven every day…

Yenika thought that even that happiness should be suppressed for a while.

Even after going through so much, Ed still has a mountain to climb.

Even though that fact is clearly felt… I didn’t want to remain a girl who didn’t know anything about the world, smiling like an immature happy.

It is unreasonable to bring such things as qualifications to happiness. However, the girl was still too young to realize that by herself.

*“I have received a letter from Princess Penia. Not only me, but Yenica, you are calling too.”

“Yes… ?”

Yenika was surprised as she lifted her hands that were supporting her chin, wondering if she was thinking of something else.

I, who was still sharpening my bow, looked at Yenica, who was surprised anew, and gave me a bewildered look.

As for me, I have been practicing bow making for four days already. If I trimmed the wood Lortel sent me and practiced it, it seemed that something useful would come out in about a week.

“yes?! correspondence? To whom?!”

“It’s okay, Yenika. I am deeply immersed in my thoughts.”

“Uh huh… I had something to think about.”

“think? What do you think?”

“Think Ed.”

It’s a conversation that goes back and forth naturally while sitting by the fire. However, the ending wasn’t very clear, so Yenika took a deep breath and held her breath only after she spoke.

“… my thoughts?”

“Oh no! I didn’t think it was weird! I’m speechless! Actually, it’s not in vain, strictly speaking, Ed was right! It wasn’t such an important and great idea!”

Seeing them making excuses in shock, I have a feeling that it probably wasn’t such a big idea.

Yenika can’t really tell a lie, no matter what. Most of what they say is sincere or frank, so I have no doubts about it.

“Me too! If you’re going to talk, you have to go through your brain, but when you’re with Ed, there are times when the words just flow like water!”

“I don’t know what you are thinking… Well, for now, the correspondence comes first.”

I put down my trimmed bow and pulled out a letter from the royal residence this morning in my arms.

“Slowly… It looks like Emperor Chloël is trying to end this sluggish supremacy race by the end of this year.”

“okay… ?”

“yes. It’s been a long time since Prince Lindon suddenly gave up the heir to the throne without giving any reason. I’m guessing you’re trying to sort this mess out soon. Only when the successor is confirmed slowly, we can begin proper education for the successor, and the powers within the imperial family will be organized.”

From the point of view of Princess Penia, it was a situation that could not stand still.

If you’ve already come this far, Princess Fenia must also run for the imperial power.

“Even Princess Selaha has decided to come to Sylvania during this Krestol Grand Festival… it’s time to take action.”

“But what does that have to do with calling us?”

“certainly… They will want to bring us in too.”

The imperial residence, which serves as the residence of the Princess Fenia, rises firmly on the western cliff of Aken Island.

Since I’ve been inside a few times, it’s not difficult to find it.

“I’ll have to go and see what I’m talking about. Yenica You called too, so let’s go together tomorrow morning. Is the class schedule flexible?”

“Yes… okay.”

I nodded and put the letter back into my arms.

The bachelor’s degree will start preparing for the festival in earnest from tomorrow.

I, too, had to start preparing for it.

However, Yenika’s strangely crooked attitude was unusual… I was pretty concerned

… In fact, there are some predictable things.

Slowly, to Yenika… It’s time to tell you everything.
