Academy’s Second Seat

dark night.

-I can help you.

Evan remembered what Jeffrin had said.

“How are you going to help? … .”

He was grabbing his head in the dorm.

study doesn’t work

Even when I tried to practice, the thoughts in my head prevented me from doing so.

Evan was definitely stronger.

He was strong enough to not fall behind any of the academy students.

Still, he was not satisfied.

On the contrary, I missed my first year.

When you don’t compare yourself to others and look only at your own growth. When only pure effort… … .

“How did this happen… … .”

Evan let out a sigh.

next day.

“under… … .”

There was a woman stretching with a bright expression.

The woman was moving to and fro, warming herself.

It had a cold impression, but the eyes looking at the academy were warm.

“Don’t do strenuous exercise. The wound may heal.”

“All right.”

At Cromwell’s words, the woman nodded her head.

The woman who answered with her silver hair fluttering was Yeniel.

Cromwell smiled at the sight and opened his mouth.

“Oh, and Principal McDowell told me to give you one.”

“yes?”

“I got good grades and came to show off to myself.”

Hearing this, Jeniel shut her mouth.

McDowell protected himself as a spy.

He helped even when he lost his arm.

“… … Please tell them that you will do your best.”

Yeniel’s face contained a firm will.

“Yes, this is the dormitory key. Now that we have unpacked our luggage, we can use that room.”

“thank you.”

After saluting Cromwell, Yeniel moved on.

Workers were busy moving in front of the dormitory.

I entered the dormitory with furniture and various documents.

Yeniel looked at it and tilted her head.

“Is there anyone in the dormitory with such luggage?”

The dormitories were lined with good furniture.

There were not many people who dared to bring such personal furniture.

“Oh, you have to take it to the lab.”

As I was walking while looking at the furniture, I saw a girl tidying up the surroundings.

The girl was Uniphone Listonia.

Yeniel tilted her head when she saw her face for the first time.

When Yeniel left the academy, it was the second semester of the first year.

I didn’t know the faces of my juniors.

Yeniel approached Yuni.

“I, what is this?”

“yes? who are you?”

Yuni looked at Yeniel with a puzzled face.

“Furniture… … Are you putting me in the dormitory?”

“Yeah, what about it?”

“All of this?”

“No, I have luggage to go elsewhere. How do you put all this in the dormitory?”

“Where do you take the rest other than the dormitory?”

“… … This is the second year’s senior laboratory.”

These loads were of two types.

These were the luggage that Yuni brought from the imperial family and the luggage that Rudy was going to use in the laboratory.

When Yeniel heard that, her eyes widened.

“Has the 2nd year head changed?”

“Yeah, that changed last semester. By the way… … who are you?”

Yuni glared at Yeniel.

The fact that the sophomore principal had changed was a famous rumor that spread throughout the academy.

However, I was suspicious because no one in the academy knew.

“Who became the 2nd year senior?”

“… … It’s a secret.”

Yuni looked at Yeniel with suspicious eyes.

I thought it was some kind of spy from outside.

Seeing this, Yeniel bit her molars.

Who is this kid and what happened to the academy while he was away?

Evan was the head of the first year until the second semester.

‘Is that Rudy Astria?’

But, seeing the luggage next to him, he shook his head.

Rudy Astria’s personality is well known to Yeniel.

‘Rudy Astria suddenly puts so many things in her dormitory? You made a kid like this?’

There was one thing that Jeniel was misunderstanding.

Most of these bags were Uni’s.

These are the belongings that Uni brought in saying they didn’t like the furniture in the dormitory.

The real Rudy’s luggage was only a few papers.

To be precise, these documents are also from Professor Gracie’s lab.

Gracie’s lab was small, so he even provided his own chief lab, and Uni, a member of Gracie’s lab, was just moving it.

Yeniel had no way of knowing this.

‘Who is it… … ! Unbeknownst to me, a strange guy… … .’

Yeniel’s head twisted taut.

Without realizing it, he thought that something big had happened at the academy.

‘First I have to meet other guys… … ! What the hell is going on at the academy… … !’

Yeniel frowned and looked at Yuni.

Yuni frowned as if she was offended when Yeniel stared at her.

In Yeniel’s head, a picture was drawn in which the head of the academy was occupied with a mysterious identity.

A picture of Rudy and Evan all being killed and collapsed.

‘Let’s promise the future… … Now is not the time!’

Yeniel didn’t say anything to Yuni.

I just turned my head and walked to the dormitory.

Yuni looked at Yeniel’s back.

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh… … .”

Professor Gracie sat on the chair and stretched.

“After all, a professor tastes like this~”

These days, Professor Gracie is enjoying happiness.

Professor Robert went on vacation, Professor Maguire went to the capital for a conference, and Professor Cromwell was busy with other things to do.

There was no one to touch Gracie.

Also, the only thing to do was research about the staff that Rudy Astria was doing.

The study was also slowly coming to an end, so there was nothing to touch now.

Rudy Astria was so good at laying the boards, and there were so many talented people around, so all Gracie had to do was give directions.

Gracie was very distressed during the semester, but now she is happier than anyone else.

Because it was vacation, there were no students or professors, and all I did was go to the academy and drink coffee.

“Should I go home today and buy some bread?”

smart-

A knock rang in the room of Gracie, who was enjoying such happiness.

“yes~.”

Gracie smiled and looked towards the door.

Rudy was standing at the door.

“hello.”

“Are you here Rudy? Would you like a cup of coffee too?”

It’s been a week since Rudy returned from Railer’s estate.

After returning, I haven’t seen much of them because of the senior takeover or student council work.

Still, there was no reason to make a problem with it, as I have been diligently doing what I had to do in the lab.

To Gracie, Rudy was nothing more than the goose that laid the golden eggs.

After Rudy became chief, Gracie’s lab became the focus of the students’ attention.

Although Rudy was originally famous, little was known about her affiliation with Gracie’s lab.

This time, as Rudy became the chief, Gracie’s lab began to rise through word of mouth among students.

Not only this, but Rudy’s research also had a great influence on Gracie.

Because he had accumulated research data on black magic that was difficult to make magic tools, he received expectations from the academia.

As a result, Gracie suddenly drew attention from the academic world and received good reviews from the academy.

All of these things came together and Gracie’s reputation grew.

More and more students wanted to become teaching assistants, and more and more students were interested in Gracie’s classes.

There was no way Gracie could dislike Rudy, who had raised her fame like that.

Rudy closed the door and entered the lab.

“Coffee is done. Come drink already. It’s been longer than that. professor. I should have come to the lab at least once.”

Gracie waved her hand at Rudy’s words.

“Hey, I know you’re busy. It can be. Did you just come to say hello?”

“No, I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“okay? What are you serious about?”

“… … If it’s serious, it’s serious.”

Gracie shrugged.

“okay! Say anything! I’ll do anything I can do for you!”

Gracie decided to show the professor’s generosity after a long time.

She spread her shoulders as if to leave it to herself.

Seeing that, Rudy smiled awkwardly, then opened her mouth carefully.

“that… … Do you have any research going on right now?”

“Ah, what about your staff? It was going well. Do you think it will be made soon?”

“… … That’s it.”

Rudy hesitated for a moment, then smiled slightly.

“Looks like we have to do it all over again.”

“… … What?”

Gracie rolled her eyes.

“Are you going to do it again? Oh no, you’re almost done with your research, right? The magic circle was well made, and it seems to work, right? do that again?”

“… … Yes, I think I will have to do it again.”

“Why why? Why? Why do I have to do it again… … ahaha… … .”

Gracie’s eyes fluttered to and fro.

This research is awaiting research in academia.

It was conducted for one semester, and there were quite a few results. A presentation of the study was also scheduled at the end of the summer break.

However, I was bewildered that I had to do it again here.

“It’s not like we’re doing it again. We will keep the magic circle we put inside.”

“Well, then what are you going to change?”

“We plan to change the exterior a bit and add abilities.”

The confidence in Gracie’s eyes, who had promised to do anything at first, dwindled.

“that… … Can’t we do additional research once we’ve finished the research?”

“no. It needs to be made in advance because it will be used in the joint practice in the second semester.”

“no… … That cost is also a cost… … I know I don’t have time… … .”

“Ah, I heard that there is an academic presentation at the end of summer break. Is that correct?”

“Yeah, yes! Academic presentation… … .”

“Hmm… … .”

Rudy thought for a moment while stroking her chin and then raised her head.

“I think it would be perfect then.”

“… … That’s right?”

“Yes, I brought the research plan I made with Luna here.”

“W, did you make a research plan?”

Gracie hastily received the plan.

And he opened his eyes wide in shock.

“Hey, are you going to handle this schedule? are you sleeping? Aren’t you going to rest?”

“Where do you have time to rest? I’m thinking about studying, training, and reducing the amount of time I get to sleep.”

“ah… … .”

“Ah, there is a research fund that I got when I became the chief, so I’ll cover it with this.”

Gracie cried.

If only Rudy had to carry out this schedule, he wouldn’t have had much thought.

However, his name was written exactly on this schedule.

If research proceeds like this, not only Rudy but also Gracie will have to stay at the academy all day.

You have to work all night, just like during the semester, and stay exhausted.

“hey… … It’s vacation… … . It’s summer… … I go to the sea with my friends… … I need to go play… … .”

“I’ve already been having a lot of fun at Luna’s estate.”

“… … .”

“Then we will proceed like this.”

“Oh, no… … .”

As Gracie refused to hand over the research protocol, Rudy looked at her coldly.

Then he reached out and grabbed the study plan.

“It’s possible.”

“ah… … .”

So Rudy took the research protocol from Gracie and walked out of the lab.

“I wish you well.”
