Academy’s Second Seat

Usually the lab is quiet.

taken from readwn.com

Most of the people’s chatter was not heard.

Everyone had a lot of work to do and they were exhausted, so there was no energy to talk to each other.

However, this lab was quieter than the others.

There was no sound of footsteps coming and going, and there was only one person turning over documents.

“OMG… … .”

This lab is Professor Gracie’s lab.

Compared to other labs, it was empty with no people or luggage.

The only thing in this empty lab was a huge amount of paperwork.

Gracie cried and fell on her desk.

“assistant… … I need an assistant… … .”

After Gracie took over as a professor, she tried to rescue her assistant by running on her own feet.

However, there were zero assistants who applied to the Gracie Lab.

There wasn’t one.

The assistants knew.

When you enter Gracie’s lab, you will realize that great hardship awaits you… … .

So there was no reason to go into Professor Gracie’s lab, who had no power.

Even if I went to another lab with many teaching assistants, it was a hard road, because if I went into a lab with no people like this, I would have to work every day without leaving work and without accumulating specs.

And it wasn’t just the teaching assistants who didn’t come.

All of the 2nd and 3rd graders used to turn down Gracie’s offer.

The 2nd and 3rd year students have adapted to the academy to some extent.

As a result, there was no reason to enter Gracie’s lab, where he had just arrived, to become an assistant to the professors that were right for him.

“Should I entice even first graders… … .”

Gracie was in first grade this year.

The first-year hands-on magic class, the top class.

The top class of the practical magic class was originally taught by Professor Cromwell.

So Gracie had no choice but to take over.

I thought that if it was a top-level class, an excellent professor would take it, but no matter how high-end class, the first-year students have to teach.

They are just superior to other first-year students, but the first year was just the first year.

There were no problems with teaching.

However, there was a problem in accepting first graders as assistants.

No matter how good the first-year students were, they were only at the level of first-year students.

“Can I just ask for a little help with the paperwork… … .”

The first graders could not ask for help with their research due to their lack of magical abilities.

Still, I was able to get help with just plain paperwork.

Gracie looked at the paper bag next to her and picked it up.

I opened the paper bag and looked at the documents inside.

The papers were written on the entrance exam scores of the first-year students, and at the same time, the names of the students they were going to teach, that is, the top class of the practical magic class, were written on them.

Practical Magic Class (Advanced Class)

Uniphone Listonia

Diak Verdes

]

There are only two students in the top class.

However, both of them are untouchable beings.

Since Yuni is the imperial princess, she didn’t even think of receiving it as a teaching assistant, and Diark… … .

“Why would a kid who won the top spot in a prestigious family come into my lab… … .”

Diark is the only son of the Marquis of Verdes.

The Verdes family is a family that has a territory in the fertile granary to the south and has been working under the Empire for a long time.

However, the Verdes family didn’t have a talent to do that until there was Diark.

After all, it has a fertile granary, so the people of the family did not put much effort into it.

The only son who came out of such a talent field, that was Diark Verdes.

There was no way that a noble son who had grown up so precious would come into his laboratory.

“Ahhh… … .”

Gracie let out a sigh.

The new semester has started.

Freshmen entered the academy after the entrance ceremony.

Now that I’m in my second year, I’ve started taking different classes.

“Rudy, what is the next class?”

“Introduction to Black Magic. It’s Professor Robert’s class.”

Luna and I chatted as we walked towards the restaurant.

Today is the first day of class when the semester has started.

We had a lot to talk about in class.

We made a plan to revise the schedule by sharing which classes we liked, which professors taught us well, and sharing the same information.

In the first year, I was not able to create a timetable at will, but from the second year onwards, the students were able to make their own timetable.

In the case of the Faculty of Magic, they selected intermediate magic classes to learn and applied for classes according to their career path, such as making magic tools, deepening magic circles, and using actual magic.

In my case, I applied for a class focusing on black magic class or actual magic, and Luna applied for a class related to magic tools and magic circles.

Of course, there were classes that you had to apply for besides this.

that’s education.

For the liberal arts class, I applied for a field that I was interested in, but there was one thing I had to focus on the most when watching the liberal arts class.

There are few assignments, the exams are easy, and the professors are generous.

That was the most important part.

To be honest, when it comes to liberal arts classes, it is literally a class that enhances human culture.

So it would be nice to be able to get something, but that doesn’t mean that liberal arts classes shouldn’t be the main thing.

Since I am in the Faculty of Magic, magic should be my main subject, and investing a lot of time in liberal arts classes only hurts my head.

So, I decided to choose the liberal arts program that requires the least amount of time and listen to it with Luna.

“Then what about imperial politics?”

“Yeah, that would be good.”

As we chatted and went to the restaurant with Luna, I saw a commotion in front of the restaurant in the distance.

“under… … ! You talk a lot about the subject of being born a nobleman just by luck.”

I frowned.

A female student was hiding behind a male student called a commoner, and an aristocratic male student confronted a commoner male student.

And that common boy was a guy I knew.

I sighed and changed my expression.

And walking towards it, he called out the commoner student’s name.

“Kun, how are you?”

Kuhn.

He was the guy I spoke to in the freshman entrance exam.

He was fighting with another guy how long the semester had started.

As I approached them with a smile, Kuhn frowned.

“Ugh… … .”

When I called Khun’s name, the noble student opposite me looked at me and widened his eyes.

“Ugh… … Rudy Astria sunbaenim… … .”

I glanced at the girl behind Khun.

That girl was Emily, Kuhn’s childhood friend.

I looked at Emily for a while, then looked at Khun again and opened my mouth.

“Kun, don’t you have something to talk to me?”

As I said that, I smiled at the noble son opposite Khun.

“Can I take this guy with me for a moment?”

Then the boy was startled and shook his head up and down.

“You can do whatever you want! Take me right away!”

I heard that and looked at Kun.

“Let’s have dinner together.”

When I said that, Luna tilted her head from behind and asked me.

“Who is it?”

I smiled softly looking at Luna like that.

“A junior I will watch closely.”

So I went into the restaurant with Kuhn and Emily.

Luna sat next to me and Kuhn and Emily sat across from me.

As I sat down, Emily bowed her head to me.

“Thank you for saving me… … .”

“No, it’s nothing.”

I looked at Kuhn after receiving Emily’s thanks.

He had a dark look with black hair covering his eyes.

I looked at Khun like that and asked directly.

“So, Kun. What are you going to do with my proposal?”

Kuhn looked at me and opened his mouth.

“I think you know what I’m going to say.”

Those words had to do with what I had done last time.

When I approached Kuhn and suggested that he join the student council, Kuhn snorted and walked away.

definite refusal.

Still, I had a reason to ask.

“I… … I’m sorry… … .”

Emily opened her mouth carefully.

“What is that offer?”

It was just Emily’s existence.

During the freshman entrance exam, I only spoke to Khun.

Even though he knew that Kuhn was going to turn it down, he made the offer once.

And as I expected, Kuhn refused, and I had no choice but to speak in Emily’s place.

When I explained what I was doing to Emily, Emily smiled and looked at Kun.

“Kun?”

“No, I won’t.”

“Kun????”

“ah… … I wouldn’t… … .”

Khun, who was obviously not stingy and naive, couldn’t even figure out when Emily asked such a question.

For Kuhn, Emily was her biggest weakness, her greatest strength, and her meaning of life.

The two boys, who grew up together in an orphanage, were friends and lovers who supported each other.

So if Emily convinces him, he’ll take it on his own.

The reason he doesn’t do it anyway is because I’m a nobleman.

Luna smiled pleasantly as she saw the two of them arguing.

“You two look really good. Ehehe.”

When Luna said that, Emily, who was glaring at Khun, smiled softly at Luna.

“The two seniors look good too!”

“to???”

“Well?”

Me and Luna looked at Emily with bewildered expressions.

Emily opened her eyes wide and cried as if she was sorry.

“ah… … Weren’t you like that? Sorry, sorry!!”

Emily bowed her head and Luna waved her hand.

“No, no! No need to apologize! it’s okay!”

“Ah, then you are dating… … . Oh, isn’t it… … ?”

Emily looked at us both with a confused look.

A training center outside the academy.

Yuni slowly walked towards it.

“Why do the people I’m looking for like this nook?”

Yuni grumbled and went inside.

Inside, a man was training a sword.

“hello?”

Yuni smiled and greeted the man.

The man heard Yuni’s voice and turned his head.

“Evan, the second-year senior… … Are you right?’

“I am Evan. Who are you?”

At Evan’s words, Uni greeted politely.

“My name is Uni von Listonia, who entered the first year this year.”

And he raised the corners of his lips.

“Would you like to work with me?”
