Academy’s Second Seat

Chapter 109

Professor Gracie is exhausted.

Class preparations were being made according to class preparation, organizing various research materials, processing documents in the academy, and overlapping the midterm exams.

Work continued to increase as a result of the disaster.

“Hey, if I keep going like this, I’m going to die… … !!!”

When I first entered the academy, the fair skin was nowhere to be seen.

Crunchy skin and dark circles down to the cheeks.

Even if he collapsed like this, everyone was in a state of nodding their heads.

“Well, after the midterm exam… … .”

I tried to be as happy as possible like that, but even after the midterm exam was over, I was overflowing with work.

desperate.

Gracie’s face turned into tears.

“Mom… … I’ve been scammed… … .”

Gracie looked up at the ceiling, looking for her mother, unsuitable for her age.

smart.

“Professor, can I come in?”

A knock rang outside the lab.

“Uh, huh? Yes, come in.”

When Gracie said that, the door opened and two men entered.

Rudy Astria and Uniphone Listonia.

Confucius and the Princess.

Suddenly, those kids came into their lab, and their eyes widened.

“hello. professor.”

Rudy greeted her with a smile.

Why did these kids come to their lab?

Gracie looked around with a puzzled look.

It was clear that this was his laboratory.

There was absolutely no reason for these kids to come here.

“that… … Is this my lab?”

Gracie looked at Rudy and Yuni alternately.

I thought maybe it was the wrong way to visit the lab.

“Yes, did you come to see Professor Gracie?”

Rudy tilted her head and said.

Gracie got up from her seat, startled.

“so? yes yes! Sit here! Do you have any tea you want to drink or sweets you want to eat? I’ll bring it right away!”

Gracie quickly led them to the table.

These two are the most influential celebrities in the academy.

Although he was a professor, now was not the time to be rude.

If these kids even give out good rumors about them, one assistant… … No, wouldn’t it be possible to get a little greedy for up to two of me?

I needed to look as good as possible.

“I’ll give you black tea~ I put a lot of sugar in it.”

When Yuni raised her hand slightly to ask, Gracie shook her head up and down.

“yes! okay! Rudy, what do you want Rudy to eat?”

“No, I am fine.”

Gracie ran back and boiled hot water.

As I boiled the water, I glanced at Rudy and Yuni.

Yuni sat quietly and looked around the lab, then glanced at the table in front of her with her fingers.

“Ugh, dust.”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, I’ve never cleaned that table since I was seated in this lab.

It’s a big deal.

It shouldn’t look bad from the start.

“Boil!”

Gracie used her magic to bring plain water to a boil.

Then, he poured that hot water into a teacup and cast a spell in the room.

“clear!!!”

As the magic was cast, the dust and dirt around it began to disappear.

Gracie reached over to her desk, pouring some sugar cubes into a teacup of black tea.

“Repositioning.”

Then, the messy documents flew up and piled up one after another.

It quickly became a clean room.

“Now, have you waited long?”

Gracie smiled softly and sat across from Uni and Rudy.

He came very quickly using magic, but he said this in the sense of being condescending.

Rudy looked at Gracie like that and opened her mouth.

“You are good at using life magic.”

Gracie smiled awkwardly at Rudy’s words.

“Ahaha… … Just because I’ve been living alone for a long time? It just happened that way.”

Gracie was not a nobleman.

After graduating from the academy, he entered the ranks of the imperial wizards and became a noble in name only.

So it was awkward to ask someone else to clean the room, so I cleaned the room myself.

However, they didn’t learn these magic just because of the room.

Being at the end of the imperial mage, there were more than once or twice when I had to clean up the labs of my seniors.

As a Gracie who can’t reject things well, there were a lot of times when she just cleaned it up one by one.

So these were the life magics I learned.

Just life magic for survival.

Gracie, it was her own way of surviving.

“What else did you come here for? Is it difficult to prepare for the midterm exam? Have a problem you don’t know about? Is that so?”

Gracie spoke to the two in the most kind manner possible.

“Professor, don’t you need a teaching assistant now?”

Rudy opened her mouth with a smirk.

Gracie saw that and opened her eyes.

At the same time, I was engulfed in great anxiety.

Gracie saw this smile often.

It was too similar to the smile you make when someone cheats on you.

Especially when you cheat by throwing a bait you can’t refuse.

Gracie, a professional fish that has been caught by many scams and strange temptations, could feel it.

“that… … ah… … .”

Gracie couldn’t help but answer that she was right.

The moment I answered yes here, I felt like I was going to be caught.

Rudy then put her hand on Yuni’s head and opened her mouth.

“Me and Yuni, both of us can serve as assistant professors.”

“… … What?”

Gracie caught him as soon as he heard that.

No, I thought fishing was fine.

In fact, it is a laboratory that has Rudy, the next student council president, and Yuni, the princess.

Just hearing the name was so beautiful.

It was clear that many assistants would come in to have a conversation with the two of them.

Gracie slammed the desk excitedly.

bang!

“Hey, what can I do?”

When Gracie said that, Rudy gave her a friendly smile.

“No, there is nothing you can do. but… … .”

“All, just?”

“I’m going to be the student council president, right? Then you must be a little busy, right?”

“That, right?”

Gracie was slowly starting to get anxious.

“And when it comes to being the president of the student council, my abilities have been recognized by the academy students and professors. Also, I am the second seat.”

I looked at Rudy who said that.

Rudy is getting more and more grounded.

The anxious mind became certain.

“Then there must be some condition, right? What if I work?”

“What do you need! I’ll give you everything I ask for!”

However, Gracie had already turned her eyes.

As Rudy said, Rudy was a talent anyone could covet.

Not only himself and the other assistants, but also the central nobles had their eyes turned away… … .

The guy who shook Ian Astria, who was called the head of the nobility.

A being with the name of Astria in it.

This was not the level of talent.

He was a huge giant.

and… … It seemed that Gracie herself would collapse if she went on like this.

It seemed better to think of making a contract with the devil and make a deal with Rudy.

If you stand still, you die.

really die!

In order to live, I could only accept these conditions.

Wouldn’t Rudy be better than a real demon?

“For now, you can give me his salary.”

Rudy said, pointing to Yuni.

“… … yes?”

Yuni looked at Rudy with a puzzled expression on her face.

“You don’t need money.”

“What is it?”

extorting a colleague’s salary.

“And I would like you to give me five times my salary than other people. The fact that I’m in will help promote the lab and other things, right?”

great salary offer.

“Oh, and sometimes I wish I could conduct the research I want. Don’t worry, I will do some research and only present research that seems meaningful.”

Monthly act.

“And again… … .”

“Come on, wait a minute… … .”

Gracie thought.

‘Am I seeing the devil?’

I couldn’t help but be amazed.

I thought it would be like giving a lot of salary or helping with academy assignments if I suggested it.

However, the more the conditions came out, the more it was out of the ordinary.

Simbo almost devours the foundation of the laboratory.

The saddest thing for Gracie was that it was such a sweet offer that he could not refuse even if he knew this.

“Can I say more?”

“Are there more?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Rudy shrugged.

“I’m just doing research and I need some materials, so I’m going to use some of the materials in the lab.”

“Yeah, yes.”

That was acceptable.

This is because there were many assistants in other laboratories who brought research materials from the laboratory.

Rudy said so and took out a piece of paper.

There were written the conditions Rudy had just said.

“Then, can you accept all these conditions?”

Rudy smiled and tilted her head slightly.

was like a devil

Rudy swiped the paper toward Gracie.

Gracie stared at the contract, closed her eyes and picked up her pen.

“thank you. It is a wise choice.”

Rudy handed me a handshake like that.

So after the storm passed the lab.

“Huh… … Mom, did I do well… … .”

Gracie cried as she lay on her desk.

The day before the student council election.

Although I was the only candidate anyway, the students had one option.

invalid ticket.

If a certain percentage does not vote, the year will pass without a student council president.

But, honestly, I didn’t think it would.

was confident

Even if I was confident, I had to do what I had to do first.

I slowly walked up the podium.

Speech before the student council election.

It was a rite he went through before becoming the student body president.

“Ahh.”

I touched the magic tool placed in front of me.

After testing like that, I could feel my voice ringing from behind.

I looked forward.

There were a lot of people.

There were faces I knew, and there were faces I didn’t know.

Both the professor and the students were standing in front of me.

It was the first such experience since the commencement speech.

It wasn’t really a speech back then.

“Hello, dear students. This is Rudy Astria, candidate for student council president.”

I smiled and greeted.

“Winter has passed and spring has come. Flowers have bloomed, and new students have arrived. The friends I saw yesterday are dignified sophomores, and the seniors are going their own way.”

When I first entered the school, I just wanted to survive.

He didn’t really care what the people around him were.

“I went to the academy and experienced a lot. It was really a lot of things, but it made a lot of friends and a lot of fun things.”

Luna’s library case, Lee’s attempted assassination case, Harpel’s intrusion on Homecoming Day and Serina case.

Other than that, I went through a lot of things during my academy life.

Those events made me a friend.

Not just characters in the game, but real friends.

“Even though it was difficult at times, I wanted to give up. I also thought it would be easier to just let everything go.”

However, it was dangerous.

Every time I saved them, I could have died if I made a mistake.

At one point, I wanted to let go of all these things and live a normal life.

It was painful to watch my life endangered and the people around me increasingly endangered in front of my eyes.

“But I couldn’t give up. Because I knew that sweet fruit was waiting behind me. When you see it later, you will be able to say that you did a good job enduring the pain.”

I think about it these days.

The time when I graduated from the academy safely and gathered with the people I became close with.

Then I will tell you

Wasn’t it really difficult at some point?

Wasn’t it really close to death in this situation?

I will laugh and say

“I would like to offer this sweet fruit to all of you. Even if it’s a little difficult, never give up and keep working hard. Enjoy your youth. Face the shining now.”

So I couldn’t give up.

That is what it means to be on this podium right now.

Now I’m right

I don’t just depend on the future I know.

As for the future, I have to destroy it.

i can do it

“A wonderful academy life awaits all the students in front of me.”

I will face the present and deny the future.

Just as the future has been ruined so far, I will destroy the future after it.

I’ll ruin it.

And I will face the consequences.

“The above was the student council president candidate, Rudy Astria.”
