Academy’s Second Seat

Nothing in the world goes according to plan.

Of course, on a larger scale, it may appear to go as planned.

However, it is not possible to proceed as planned, down to the smallest detail.

Numerous variables.

Sometimes it’s just bad luck, sometimes it’s the wrong prediction, and the plan will go awry.

“Rudy Astria.”

These variables can be dealt with by ad hoc.

However, depending on this ad hoc, results may vary.

I will try though.

For best results.

“You help me.”

@

I can hear the students talking in the classroom.

“A commoner named Evan had a fight with the son of Viscount William?”

“I heard that Viscount William had an argument first?”

“It’s Evan… … I’m hearing this for the first time… … Well, it’s refreshing to hear that the bastard got hit.”

After signing with Luna, I started to concentrate on my studies.

Even if I was just studying quietly, the main story was progressing.

Evan got attention from the professor during magic practice class, and he got into a fight with the bastards.

Gradually, the main character began to stand out in the academy.

When I heard the news, I felt relieved that Evan was growing well.

However, the news that followed made my head throb.

“Student Rudy Astria? Would you like to come to the leadership room for a moment?”

Read at readwn.com

A student called me.

green scarf.

was a sophomore.

And he was wearing an armband with the word ‘Seondo’ on his arm.

leading department.

The leading team at the Liberation Academy had a different feel from the ordinary leader group, only in the name.

The leading team is usually part-timer in the Swordsmanship School, where students with flat skills but no money do it to earn tuition.

However, he manages the criminal activities that take place in the academy.

Well, the leadership team handles only minor quarrels, and when a really big incident occurs, an investigation team from the Empire is dispatched or the professors handle it.

He was a neighborhood safety keeper with some power.

But, why are you calling me in such a place?

There was nowhere to pick up.

It wasn’t that I usually did bad things, I just went around studying normally.

If the leadership team gave me a good child award, I didn’t have to take it with me.

When I went there with such doubts, there was a red-haired bastard I had seen before.

“Rudi Astria did it… … .”

“… … ?”

The guy pointed at me and said.

I wondered what this meant.

“Rudy Astria. Is this true?”

“I don’t even know what the situation is. what happened?”

When I asked, the leader stroked his chin.

ah… … .

I thought I knew what was going on.

That red-headed bastard had a fight with Evan, and he pointed me to the cause.

This situation was not just my prediction.

In the original case, this should have happened.

However, the situation is a little different now.

“I don’t know.”

The lead gave a rough explanation of the situation, and I denied it.

However, this was the problem.

In the game, Rudy Astria got away with her work.

That situation and the present situation overlapped.

People think I cut my tail, even though I didn’t do it.

It was just embarrassing.

How do I explain this… … .

“Hmm… … .”

The people of the leading team looked at me suspiciously.

However, no one said anything suspicious to me.

Then I’ll let him go, but he just looked at me with suspicion.

It hurts.

Rudy Astria in the game went with that guy, and I told him to turn it off.

I haven’t met him since then, but doubting me just gave me a headache.

I just wanted to get out of here like Rudy Astria in the game.

“Why do you keep holding on to the kid who didn’t do it?”

Then a man walked in with his hands in his pockets.

He was dressed in a sloppy look like a neighborhood man, wearing glasses, and had a sparse beard, as if he hadn’t shaved for days.

It was just an uncle who went out to the local supermarket to buy soju.

“ah… … professor.”

“What are you going to do if you keep holding on to the kid who didn’t do it? Do you think anything went wrong with you guys trying to keep the academy safe? Children who are not detectives.”

The uncle who was called the professor spit out a swear word and left the leadership team’s room.

Then the second-year student who brought me opened his mouth.

“Go see.”

As soon as I heard those words, I followed the professor I saw earlier.

I tried to say thank you for helping me while I was being framed and ask for my name.

“I… … professor?”

I followed and talked to him, but the professor ignored me and kept walking forward.

“professor.”

“professor?”

“professor? Can you hear me?”

As I continued to pursue and talk to him, the professor finally turned around.

“Why do you keep talking to me?”

“Thank you for your help.”

When I politely greeted him, he waved his hand as if annoyed.

“Because it’s okay. good.”

“May I ask for your name?”

The professor then exhaled briefly.

“Robert.”

And he walked forward chicly.

“All right. thank you.”

If I followed further, it looked like a nuisance and I backed away.

“Robert… … .”

I thought over the professor’s name and headed to the next class.

@

After all the classes were over, I was organizing my books.

“Rudy!”

Luna approached from afar with a worried face.

“Rudy, are you okay? You said that you went badly.”

“Oh, I don’t think anything will happen.”

Could you please call me again and interrogate me without evidence?

If that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to respond hard.

By the way, leaving the red head alone made me angry.

What would you have promised yourself?

What will happen when I sell my name?

Rudy Astria’s reputation is not good, so the fact that she used me is highly appreciated.

He must have avoided punishment as much as possible, and took revenge for the last time I told him to quit.

However, it was said without much thought.

What’s the third-rate bastard thinking?

I didn’t mean to just let that happen.

If we go through here, this will happen again in the future.

“I’m glad nothing happens.”

Luna said with a smirk on her face.

“ah! Are you coming to the library today?”

Luna smiled and asked me.

Two students were staring at me from behind Luna.

Luna was smiling innocently whether she knew it or not.

“I don’t think I can go today.”

“okay?”

These days, I’m studying at the library with Luna.

Of course, when training magic, I went to a separate laboratory, but when I was studying theory or other liberal arts, I went to the library.

He came every day and asked if he was coming to the library, so he couldn’t help but go.

“Luna, let’s start class now. Shall we go?”

“yes? okay! let’s go.”

We weren’t the only ones studying in the library.

It was because Luna’s friends were together every day.

A guy named Rika blatantly disliked me, and a guy named Ena tried to look inside me like Princess Li.

Their eyes were strained.

However, it did not interfere with my studies and did not harm me, so I just ignored it.

After all my classes, I headed to the senior student lab in the basement of the dormitory.

“Status window”

「Name: Rudy Astria

Age: 17

ability:

Beginner Magic: LV 6

Fire attribute magic: LV 5

Wind attribute magic: LV 4

Earth attribute magic: LV 2

Swordsmanship: LV 2

Spirit Skill: LV 2」

He studied magic by himself and learned earth attribute magic.

To be honest, I don’t think I’ll use it that much, but it was a necessary process to increase my magic level.

LV 5 fire attribute magic will show better power when grown, but the growth rate is too slow.

So I’m using a trick.

It’s not a deep dive into one magic, but a trick to quickly learn intermediate magic by learning multiple magic.

Anyway, basic attribute magic doesn’t get used much in battle as it goes on.

Of course, it can be good if applied well.

However, I am an ordinary modern person.

A modern man who has never had a fight with anyone.

Now, when trying to fight someone, I can’t afford to think and apply magic to fight.

So, if you want to defeat your opponent, the best way to fight is to press it with overwhelming force.

First of all, my goal is to quickly grow basic attribute magic to reach intermediate magic.

And I will learn black magic among attribute magic.

The perception of black magic is not so good.

It is because of the fact that mental contamination occurs when magic fails, and there is a large perception that black magic is gloomy.

However, one thing is certain.

The power of black magic.

This is a fact that everyone acknowledges.

Black magic boasts a much stronger power than magic of the same level.

A magic that boasts high-risk, high-return.

That was black magic.

“I was going to ask Professor Cromwell… … .”

Robert.

That professor is one of the few black magic professors in the academy.

Also, unusually, he was a professor without a family surname.

Read at readwn.com

I haven’t seen him in the game, so I don’t know much about him.

All I knew about him was that he was friendly with Professor Cromwell.

So I asked Professor Cromwell to introduce him, and I was lucky enough to meet him.

“But why was the professor there?”

There wasn’t much reason for the professor to be in the leadership room.

“ha… … Think about something else later.”

I gathered my mana in my hand and said the starting word.

“Waterball.”

As I spoke, small water droplets gathered in front of my eyes.

“Are you going to do it now? Status window.”

「Name: Rudy Astria

Finally, beginner magic reached level 7.

It was a sweet achievement.

It was worthwhile to study while listening to Professor Cromwell’s class.

-smart

As I was feeling the joy of achievement, I heard someone knocking.

“Who is it?”

“This is the maid, Azela.”

taken from readwn.com

Maid-in-law, Azela.

He is the general manager of the dormitory.

We met on the way, but it was the first time we met in person.

“come in.”

“hello.”

Azela politely greeted her with an upright posture.

As a general manager, it was like a textbook.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s dinner time and you haven’t come, so I’m here to let you know.”

Has it already been that time?

In the laboratory, there were no windows with protection magic on all walls.

So I was practicing magic without knowing the sun was going down.

But did the maid tell you about this in the first place?

I didn’t know that because I usually went to eat just in time for my meal.

Well, since she is the maid in charge of all the students in the dormitory, I thought that could be the case.

I was a man, so I didn’t have much help from a maid, but I’ve heard that girls get help with hair and makeup.

“and.”

“… ?”

“If you haven’t eaten, the Astina Persian lady asked me to join you.”

“What?”

I came here because of this.

Why is that person calling me again?

If it’s about throwing away while eating, isn’t it a euphemistic refusal?

I thought you’d just take it as a sign that you don’t want to be close… … .

I didn’t notice it for a while, so I thought I didn’t care anymore, but I guess it wasn’t.

He’ll be busy with the student council election next week.

But I don’t know why you’re doing this to me.

Should I tell you not to come close?

Even if I don’t eat here anyway, I’ll come again, so I thought it would be nice to meet and talk in person.

“Tell me to meet you in front of the dormitory in 10 minutes.”

“All right.”

I roughly packed my books and headed out to the front of the dormitory.

In front of him stood a woman with red hair.

“long time no see. Rudy Astria.”

“hello.”

Astina usually wore her hair up, but today she came out with her hair loose.

I was feeling stuffy because I was dressed too neatly, but today, I looked a little more comfortable.

Astina’s usual image was that of an upright knight.

Although he belonged to the Faculty of Magic, the atmosphere was no different from that of a knight who pursued uprightness.

“Can I make you wait?”

Astina said with a slightly harsh expression on her face.

“sorry. I had an appointment all of a sudden, so I wasn’t ready for it.”

You suddenly asked to meet.

I got out within 10 minutes of what I said.

The promise was kept.

But when I said something like that, I was just embarrassed.

Then Astina opened her mouth with a playful smile.

“It’s a joke. Let’s go get some food.”

Were the two of us close?

On the contrary, I would understand if Astina was really angry, but it was even more awkward to treat him so friendly.

Which tune should it be tuned to?

“Hello, Astina-senpai.”

“okay. hi.”

As Astina walked, the students around her greeted her.

Astina was a second-year senior and a strong candidate for student council president, so she was the envy of everyone.

Also, as she approached everyone closely and greeted her without exception, people had no choice but to like her.

“let’s eat.”

The meal time was slightly delayed as Astina came with everyone’s greetings.

and… … .

“Who is he?”

“Isn’t that Rudy Astria? Why is Astina-senpai… … .”

It was getting everyone’s attention.

I had a pain in the butt.

I walked around avoiding people’s attention as much as possible.

If the unfavorable person continues to stand out in the public eye, that person’s evaluation does not change.

Because it keeps reminding me that it’s unfavorable.

So I was going to save myself until I was forgotten by people.

Of course, I had to stimulate Evan’s desire to win and encourage his growth.

However, due to my lack of ability, there was no time to encourage his growth.

“I heard that you are studying hard these days, are you studying well?”

Astina continued the usual conversation whether she knew what I was thinking or not.

I gave a rough answer to the story, glancing at the timing.

Timing to tell you not to come any closer.

“Isn’t it fun to just keep studying? Do you have any other hobbies?”

“Studying is my whole life.”

It wasn’t wrong.

If you don’t study now, you will die later.

“okay? So you mean you have no hobbies?”

“yes. That’s right.”

As we continued our daily conversation, a question came to mind.

Did you call me to have this conversation?

Astina is not without friends like me.

It’s a normal conversation like this, but why are you doing this until you come to me?

While having such a conversation, Astina’s expression changed slightly.

“You know I’m running for student council president soon.”

“No one at the academy doesn’t know.”

Then Astina opened her mouth with a completely different atmosphere.

“Rudy Astria.”

serious look.

“You help me.”

“… … .”

what kind of bullsh*t

@

“I feel more at ease without Rudy Astria.”

“Rika! Don’t be too harsh on Rudy!”

Luna and Rika were studying at the library and going to eat.

Since there was an alchemy experiment, Ena offered to eat separately, so it was just the two of them.

Luna ate lunch with Rudy these days.

However, unlike Rudy, we did not eat dinner together unless otherwise stated.

“uh… … ?”

While Luna was eating, a striking face appeared.

“Rudy?”

It was definitely Rudy Astria.

However, there was a look that did not suit Rudy Astria.

It looked like he was having a meal with someone.

Also with a woman.
