Academy’s Second Seat

The summer vacation was slowly coming to an end.

A few days later, school started and the research finally came to an end.

Gracie moved on to the academic presentation, while Rudy and Kuhn remained in the lab to tidy up.

“Hey, how the hell did you do this? … .”

Kuhn let out a word mixed with astonishment.

Despite participating in the latter part of the study, fatigue was evident on Kuhn’s face.

Kuhn joined the study the same day Luna was absent from the study.

But there wasn’t much to do.

I decided to do Luna’s job, but there was nothing I could do about it because Luna had already done it all.

It was merely an assistant to Rudy and Gracie.

However, such a role of assistance was not easy.

It was only an aid, but there was a lot to study.

I was still in first year, so it wasn’t enough.

Still, he tried his best to help Rudy.

As the research continued, Kuhn couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Sometimes I have to stay up all night and sometimes I can’t eat properly.

However, the pain he was experiencing was just medicine.

Gracie and Rudy conducted the research by changing their bodies more than themselves.

Kuhn stuck out his tongue at that sight.

It was doubtful whether it was a human being.

“It’s kind of fun, isn’t it? Even though my body is a little tired, I have a sense of accomplishment.”

Rudy said lightly as if nothing was wrong.

“It doesn’t seem like a bit of a tiring level, but… … .”

This study was actually completed by Gracie and Rudy.

Of course, Luna’s ball was also great.

Still, it was thanks to Rudy and Gracie that they were able to successfully conduct research with such a small group.

Kuhn only exclaimed in admiration when he saw Rudy like that.

It was a different admiration than when I saw Rudy as the student council president.

How much power does this person have?

That ability did not mean talent.

If you work hard like this, you will want to play, and you will also want to rest a little.

But Rudy didn’t.

face the pain head-on

If work is blocked, do it as it is blocked, if it is difficult, do it as difficult.

Without compromise, they faced each other head-on.

It wasn’t easy.

Sometimes I want to go back and sometimes I want to avoid it.

It’s painful when you face work head-on.

If you lead the work as it is, it may take a certain amount of time, and you may have to put a certain amount of effort into it.

Still, Rudy went straight ahead.

From Kuhn’s point of view, there was only admiration.

He seemed to understand why the professors and seniors were interested in Rudy.

Rudy approached Khun and patted him on the back.

“It’s all over though. Khun, you suffered a lot too.”

“Oh, no. Didn’t Rudy-senpai and Professor Gracie do it all?”

“What did you two do? You, Yuni, Luna, and everyone around you helped you, so you must have made it to the end.”

Rudy said with a warm smile.

talent, effort, character.

this person… … what is lacking

While Kuhn was moved by Rudy’s appearance like that… … .

‘I have to show a good side so I can continue to pamper myself… … .’

Rudy sighed inwardly.

Bringing in Khun was nice, but frankly it wasn’t useful.

What kind of help can I get from a guy who is still in first grade?

It was also of no use since he came in in the middle of the study.

Rather, it was more difficult to teach Kuhn this and that.

Still, Rudy smiled.

I’ve taught you this much, so I thought I’d use it later.

“Let’s just clean up and go back to rest.”

“All right.”

Kuhn began diligently cleaning up the lab with a moved face.

By the time the lab was cleaned up.

“Oh, you were there.”

Yuni came to the lab.

“Are you here? Did the presentation go well?”

“Yes, Professor Gracie was surprised. You’re good at making those announcements.”

Uni had gone to an academic presentation with Professor Gracie.

It was Yuni who had been researching with him since the early days of his research, so he went to help with Gracie’s presentation.

“eww… … ah… … .”

A strange sound came from behind Yuni.

It was Gracie who had turned into an undead.

How the hell did you make an announcement with that kind of energy? … .

Fortunately, the academic presentation was done at the academy, but if it had been done in the capital or other cities, I thought that Gracie would have fallen.

Gracie came into the lab halfway through, crying.

“End… … it happened.”

Even though he looked so tired, he was smiling as if he was happy that it was over.

Yuni looked at Gracie for a moment and then clapped her hands as if thinking of something.

“Ah, then the presentation is over, and school will start soon.”

And smiled.

“Shall we have a party?”

***

“Professor Cromwell, would you like to come with me?”

“I have a lot of work to do… … . I think it will be difficult to find time for it.”

“If that’s the case… … .”

Astina heard from Rudy that there was a party in Gracie’s lab.

So I asked Professor Cromwell if he could light his face for a moment, but Professor Cromwell shook his head.

He was very busy preparing for this joint practice, so it seemed difficult to listen for a while.

“Then I’ll just go.”

“Yeah, thanks for helping me.”

After hearing Professor Cromwell’s greeting, Astina moved and headed towards Gracie’s lab.

“I!! uh? I know how hard it was!”

“Rika!! Eat slowly!!”

“Ubbb!!!”

I was just going near Gracie’s lab, but I heard a loud noise.

Astina smiled and entered the laboratory.

There were many people in it.

Rika, Ena, and Luna are having a meal while playing pranks.

Gracie is drinking and flirting next to him.

Kuhn and Emily have a snack together.

There were other guys as well.

“Uh, Astina-senpai, are you here?”

Astina came in, Rudy came over to greet her.

“It looks like everyone is having a good time.”

“Yes, school is just around the corner, so we are burning the end of the vacation.”

As Rudy came to Astina, she also approached Lee.

Astina saw that and looked at Rie.

“It’s very sticky.”

Lie was furious at Astina’s words.

“Wow, what does it matter! I haven’t seen you in a while, so it could be!!”

“Ahaha… … .”

At Lie and Astina’s reaction, Rudy smiled awkwardly.

“By the way, Professor Cromwell hasn’t come?”

“You seem to be busy preparing for the joint evaluation.”

“By the way, I heard that Astina-senpai was also preparing for it… … .”

“It’s not to the point of preparing together, I’m just learning magic and helping out a little bit.”

As Rudy and Astina had a conversation like that, Rie opened her eyes thinly.

And he grabbed Rudy’s arm.

“Come to work.”

“yes?”

Astina smiled as Liega led Rudy towards her.

“Is it unfair to be fair?”

“What… … What?”

Rie’s eyes widened at Astina’s provocative tone.

“If not? Why are you taking Rudy somewhere else?”

“profit… … .”

Rie didn’t pull Rudy, but walked forward and met Astina’s eyes.

As the two of them met their eyes, it felt like electricity.

When Astina and Rie were having a nerve war.

“Rudy~.”

“uh?”

Someone ran quickly and clung to Rudy’s back.

“Ehehe… … . Jo… … .”

It was like a twisted tongue.

Rudy looked back, startled by such a sight.

Luna hugged Rudy’s back and rubbed her face.

Her face was glowing nicely.

“Luna?”

“What, what!”

“Well?”

The three were surprised to see Luna like that.

There was no way Luna could be hugged by Rudy in such a crowded place.

He wasn’t the kind of guy who acted so abruptly.

Rudy felt something strange and grabbed Luna’s shoulder and pulled her back slightly.

“Ugh… … Rudy… … .”

Luna reached out with her half-open eyes and tried to hug Rudy again.

When Rudy bowed her head slightly and made eye level with Luna, a slight scent of alcohol wafted out.

“Luna… … Have you been drinking?”

“Ehehe… … a little?”

Luna replied with a silly smile.

Rudy quickly turned her head to look at Gracie.

Gracie was the only person drinking alcohol.

Looking at Gracie, there was Gracie in a very bad condition.

“Hey! Drink, drink! Oops! huh? Going to your bar! Can’t you drink alcohol!”

It was Gracie, offering drinks to the kids with a twisted tongue.

Still, it seemed that the only victim was Luna.

“Ahaha… … . professor… … I think you should go in… … .”

Ena was blocking Professor Gracie as much as possible.

Perhaps, seeing Luna’s drunken state, he seemed to be trying to stop the subsequent victims.

So Rudy tries to stop Gracie.

“Rudey… … !”

Luna moved her feet to hug Rudy again.

“Luna!”

“Stop it… … !”

Lie and Astina quickly grabbed Luna.

Seeing that, Rudy sighed.

“ha… … . I need to get this sorted out quickly.”

So after some time

The party is over.

Astina didn’t clean up for the first time because of the chaotic and chaotic situation, and sent them all back to their room.

Luna and Ena and Rika brought her back to the room, and Astina herself took Professor Gracie and put it in the room.

Astina roughly put Gracie in the professor’s dormitory and walked back to the lab.

“I came here to get some food, and I ended up just taking care of it.”

Astina sighed.

It was a pity for Astana, who could not enjoy the party from the beginning.

“It was my fault for being late… … .”

Astina had her taste buds in disappointment.

Then I went to the lab.

“The kids will have a hard time cleaning it up tomorrow.”

It was Astina, who had not been at the party for a long time, but she was planning to organize Gracie’s lab for the other kids.

These days, Rudina Rie and even Luna.

I knew very well that everyone was working hard.

It reminded me of how hard I tried when I was in second grade.

Even after meeting Rudy, Astina worked hard, studying magic, studying, and even working at the student council.

So it could be said that he knew their pain and effort better than anyone else.

Astina smiled softly and opened the door to the lab.

“Well?”

Upon entering the lab, I saw Rudy sitting on a chair.

To be precise, he looked like he was sleeping in a chair.

It was Astina who told Rudy to go back to her room.

“ha… … Just go back.”

Astina spoke with a sigh like that, but there was a smile on her lips.

It was because a broom and towels were lying next to him.

Maybe he was too tired to do the cleaning and fell asleep.

Rudy’s appearance was roughly what I expected.

“It must have been difficult to study. I even try to clean up.”

Astina quietly approached Rudy.

He squatted slightly and made eye level with Rudy.

He looked like he was sleeping soundly like a baby.

“Foot.”

Astina smiled at Rudy’s unusual appearance.

Astina poked Rudy’s cheek with her finger.

“I hope everything goes well.”

It was something he said to himself, and it was also something to say about Rudy’s future.

“I will do my best, so do your best.”

Astina smiled as she said that.
