Academy’s Second Seat

Cromwell’s lab.

“Then Evan won, so the bet is my win.”

Cromwell said it was a clear win, but he didn’t look good.

Rather, Robert smiled and opened his mouth.

“It would be nice to get out of duty.”

Robert hummed, humming, as if teasing Cromwell.

Obviously Cromwell won the bet, but it was Robert who was making fun of him.

The reason was that the assistant had heard the full story of the case.

The fight between Evan and Rudy.

The battle was watched not by one or two assistants, but by several.

It was a fight between students who were known to be quite strong, so it was to prepare for a disaster.

As expected of the assistants, Rudy and Evan fought fiercely.

In the fight between Evan and Rudy, surrounding trees and environments were destroyed.

After that fight, Rudy gave Evan a final blow, and Evan flew away.

At the end of the day, the assistants were nervous so that they could intervene in the fight.

Usually, at the end of the day, the students were in a state of excitement, so even if the opponent was unable to fight, there were many cases of big attacks.

So when Rudy tried to attack Evan, he tried to stop the fight, but Rudy did something unexpected.

Not only did he not attack, nor did he take the jewel from Evan.

The assistants questioned Rudy’s behavior and reported it to Cromwell.

And now.

Anyway, this bet started with ‘who has a better eye for students’ and ‘who raised the students better’.

However, he could not make them fight directly with each other.

So, it was a bet based on the score, and if Rudy fought Evan himself and won, he could bet.

Because the score doesn’t matter.

They just wanted to prove that their eyes were right.

“Hey, Professor Cromwell chooses students who get good grades very well.”

Robert did not object, citing reasons for placing the bet.

He just joked that he lost the bet and brushed it off.

Robert was content to just prove that he had taught Rudy well and that his eyes weren’t wrong.

“Guy Rudy fights really well with what kind of professor he learned it from~. Ha ha ha ha!”

Robert walked out of Professor Cromwell’s lab with a big smile.

“Uh… … .”

Cromwell looked at Robert as he left with a frown.

“Is this freshman year Rudy Astria? … .”

Cromwell thought a lot and chose Evan.

Still, he’s the guy who continues to occupy the top spot in the first year.

I bet on Evan’s possibility.

However, this first-year senior was special.

The score continued to occupy first place, but it did not attract attention.

The eyes of the professors were looking at different people.

Maguire, Robert, and the other professors all caught on and focused on the odd one.

“He seems to have some talent… … .”

No one can deny that Evan’s abilities are outstanding.

However, when asked if he could raise this guy as a disciple, he shook his head.

The technique Evan used in his personal assessment.

No one among the professors could use such a skill.

After all, if it was the professors’ ability, it was much more efficient to press with their own strong force than to use such a method.

“Will this be poison? … Will it be medicine? … .”

Such a peculiarity was Evan’s strength, but it was too much of a disadvantage in that he did not receive help from anyone.

I had to pave the way on my own without anyone’s help.

Of course, intermediate magic such as ecological magic can help, but Evan’s strength is not that ordinary intermediate magic.

“I do not know… … .”

If it had been his proper disciple, he would have been a little more concerned, but Evan thought he had his own thoughts and passed it on.

He just picked up the calendar in front of the desk and erased all of his watch work written on the calendar.

“You should be content with just not being on duty.”

Cromwell sighed contentedly at this ambiguous victory.

Defeated.

was terribly defeated.

I did my best, but I didn’t get to him.

Evan locked himself in his room and swung his sword.

“Is the method wrong? … .”

Rather, it was a failure caused by the magician himself handling the sword.

That said, Rudy Astria was too unusual to be called a standard wizard.

A wizard who uses his fists, magic, and even spirits.

If it was miscellaneous, it was miscellaneous, and if it was universal, it was all-round.

“However… … I?”

No matter how much he thought about it, he had no color.

He is not strong in any one field, nor can he freely handle various abilities.

It was all about creating a new magic.

Some might be surprised by this, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Others will say no, but at least for Evan.

“What do I want to do… … .”

He took the top spot.

Looking at this alone, it could be said that he had defeated Rudy Astria, but it seemed like an empty victory.

It was the same with this joint practice.

Obviously he was defeated and lost his mind.

However, Rudy Astria did not take her jewels.

“Intentionally… … .”

I don’t know what he was aiming for, but he didn’t take away any points.

That fact made me feel even more defeated.

As I deepened my thoughts, I felt as if Rudy Astria was conceding her senior position as well.

Evan shook his head at that thought.

Why would Rudy Astria give up her senior position?

In this part, he clearly thought that he was one step ahead of Rudy Astria.

“The senior position is… … Never lose it.”

fight? I think it can be lost at least once.

However, I couldn’t lose as much as the evaluation that scores all my efforts during the semester.

Evan clenched his fists as he thought about it.

After practice, the academy gave first and second year students a holiday.

Perhaps it meant that students who were injured during the practice should receive treatment comfortably and focus on their studies again.

After such a sweet holiday.

“ah… … .”

I looked at the report card on the bulletin board.

Evan, exactly in second place.

And Lee, who took 1st place.

“… … What is this?”

Still, that was the part I was worried about.

The growth of people around me.

Its growth was too fast.

Li and Luna… … .

I had predicted such a situation to some extent, but honestly, I didn’t see it as a big problem.

When it comes to fighting enemies, it helps if it helps, but I don’t think it would be poison.

“Still, I didn’t know it was going to be like this… … .”

There was one reason for this result.

The fight between Lie and Luna.

Without that fight, Evan took first place with no problem.

However, as Luna and Li were fighting, Li took all of the Luna points.

I thought slowly.

The degree to which joint practice affects the overall grade and the degree to which the midterm and final exams affect … … .

Although joint practice certainly plays a big part in grades, it has not had an irreversible impact on other tests.

“Evan… … Assuming you keep getting full marks… … .”

However, when I counted it, it was really close to the point.

Evan, of course, had to keep getting perfect marks, and Rie had to take less exams than usual.

It was a natural fact that the higher the student’s rank, the greater the impact on small scores.

“ha… … .”

I thought for a moment, then sighed and turned around.

Then I saw Astina walking from behind.

Dark circles and fatigue were seen more than usual.

Astina blankly walked in front of me, holding the papers in her hands and sighing.

“Astina-senpai?”

When I called my name, Astina looked at me in amazement.

She didn’t even seem to know I was there.

“ah… … Rudy… … .”

“What are you doing? You look very tired.”

Astina smiled awkwardly and pointed to the papers.

“Documents to be processed. Not one or two.”

“… … Do you have that many documents?”

When I saw the documents in Astina’s arms, I thought that I had asked this question in vain.

Even at a glance, the amount of paperwork was overflowing.

“that… … I will listen.”

“… … okay. Thank you.”

Feeling sorry, I took Astina’s paperwork and headed to the student council room instead.

I walked along with Astina.

Then Astina opened her mouth.

“He did something strange again this time.”

“Weird… … is it?”

I asked Astina with a puzzled face.

“Evan said he didn’t take points.”

“ah… … .”

Astina smiled softly at my reaction.

“Do you dare to act so conspicuously, but the chief doesn’t want to do it?”

I didn’t have to answer Astina’s words.

Then Astina continued speaking.

“Last time, you said that because the chief is responsible, you are afraid of that, so you take the second seat.”

Hearing that, I nodded my head slightly.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Hearing those words, I met Astina’s eyes.

Astina had a serious face.

However, his expression soon dissipated and he smiled softly.

“Because I was tired, I was out of my mind, so I talked about something out of the ordinary.”

I’m afraid… … .

I have no regrets about the choices I have made so far.

Gradually, it was becoming clear that I would survive, and Evan’s growth was also increasing.

Evan’s growth… … .

Evan’s chief… … .

This was the best way to survive in the end.

I’m picking the one with the highest probability of surviving all of the academy out of a bunch of choices.

And I know the result… … .

“It is now. I will listen.”

While I was pondering for a moment, I saw the student council room in front of me.

Astina opened the door to the student council room and tried to accept the papers I was holding.

Then, suddenly, Astina stumbled and lost her focus a little.

“Are you okay?”

“eww… … .”

Fortunately, he did not fall down immediately after finding the center, but something seemed uneasy.

I looked at her carefully and asked.

“Isn’t it better to rest a little?”

I was worried that it might suddenly fall over.

“I can’t do that because I have a lot of work these days… … .”

“Still, I think I like taking a break, don’t I?”

Then the door to the student council room opened and Li came out and said,

“Give me, I’ll take it.”

Rie naturally tried to accept the documents that were in my arms.

I remembered Rie’s figure at the end of the practice session.

Lie, who flirted and held her in my arms.

When Rie saw me, I thought she would scream and say, “It was because of the drug!”

“Lee, are you okay now?”

I said as I handed the papers to Li.

At that moment, Lie took the papers and lightly touched mine and hers.

“Suck!!!”

Then, terrified, Lee took her hand and stepped back in the distance.

“… … .”

I stared at Lee like that.

Then Rie shrugged and said.

“Woah, whoa, what!!! What! Stand, stand, give me the papers! hurry!”

“… … Take it.”

I was shocked to see such a reaction after approaching him coolly.

If that’s the case, say anything else.

After receiving the documents quickly, Rie ran into the student council room without saying goodbye.

“What are you going to do… … .”

I let out a sigh and looked at Astina.

“What, Astina-senpai? Health is paramount. Take care of your health.”

Astina saw me like that, smiled once, and went into the student council room.
