Academy’s Second Seat

student council room.

I was having a conversation with Jeniel and Astina.

“Are you saying that Jeniel was called?”

I said with a surprised face.

“Yeah, yesterday a letter flew through a bird.”

Until now, the rebels had not said much, so their movements were unknown.

It was just that Yeniel was wasting time by sending useless information to the rebels.

Anyway, the reason why Yeniel joined the academy was the assassination of Lie and me.

However, the work had already ended in failure, so the rebels had nothing to do with Jeniel.

As a result, the only sound that Yeniel heard was to hide in the academy without being discovered that he was a member of the rebels.

Just as I was sucking my fingers like that, a new order finally came.

A letter brought by an eagle.

The letter was an order from the rebel leader.

“Why is the principal suddenly calling you?”

“I do not know. Once you are told to come, you must go.”

At my words, Yeniel shrugged.

Rebel’s receipt.

That person said that even Jeniel did not know exactly.

Of course I knew about him.

A person who destroys and kills everything that stands in his way.

A black-haired man who cuts down people with ridiculous swordsmanship.

A man called a tyrant on the battlefield.

We may not see each other now, but now is the time to move slowly.

“By the way, the sudden call could mean that you were caught as a double agent.”

Astina looked at Yeniel with a worried face.

Astina didn’t really care about Yeniel, but she seemed to have a close relationship with her since she had been around for a while.

Yeniel opened her mouth as if she was okay.

“I don’t think that will happen. If there was a traitor due to his personality, he would have killed him right away without calling out.”

My thoughts were the same.

The tyrant child could not leave the traitor alone.

Astina heard that and asked.

“Then why are you calling me?”

“What will happen? I’ll have to go to see the exact thing, but I know.”

Saying so, Jeniel took out a piece of paper.

“This is a document stating that your parents are in critical condition.”

Astina accepted the document.

Maybe it sounded like he was going to apply for a leave of absence with this document.

“Then I won’t see you for a while.”

Even though we had seen each other so often, it was disappointing to say that we left without promising when we would return.

At my words, Yeniel smiled softly and opened her mouth.

“I think I will probably come back before the final exams are over.”

There was something more worrisome than that.

“Did you tell Evan?”

Evan.

I’ve never seen Yeniel and Evan together these days.

I usually pass by and see the two of them together once, but these days I only see the two of them walking separately.

“Ah, I’ve been fighting with him lately… … .”

“Fight?”

I questioned Jeniel’s words.

“I think he will change a bit from someday. We fought a little.”

“Evan has changed?”

After thinking about my question for a while, Yeniel opened her mouth.

“In the past, I felt like a fool for the people around me… … Should I say something different these days? … .”

Yeniel laughed awkwardly as she said that.

“It could be my mistake. I’ll go right away.”

Saying so, Yeniel stopped walking outside.

Then he turned around and looked at me for a moment.

“Rudy Astria. Be careful while I’m away. The rebels hate the nobles, especially the Astrian family, the leader of that aristocratic faction.”

I nodded.

I could barely understand the meaning of those words.

Ian and Gaju of the Astria family are not at a level that the rebels can touch.

But, I wasn’t.

‘Cause I’m still weak

So it meant that the rebels might attack me while Yeniel was away.

“Then I will go now.”

Yeniel said that and went out.

I looked at Yeniel’s back outside the door, and then moved my gaze to Astina.

“Are you feeling well these days?”

Some time has passed since Astina was discharged.

Looking at the color of his face, he looked much better than the last time he fell, but he couldn’t help but worry.

“Since the principal has also returned, it’s okay to have a lot of work done. Thank you for your concern.”

Astina looked at me and smiled.

Seeing it like that made me feel safe too.

Astina asked, putting the papers she had received from Jeniel into the drawer.

“Are you preparing for the final exam?”

“I’m just doing what I always do.”

I shrugged.

The final exam period is already approaching.

It felt like it was coming too quickly because there were so many big events.

He said he was speaking as usual, but this final exam was a little bit too much.

The midterm exam I took last time had little discriminatory power, and the weight was so small that there were subjects that did not take the exam at all.

Because there were subjects that I did not take the exam, even the grades of the midterm exams were not posted.

I don’t know what my midterm grades are, so this final exam was really important.

“Okay, then I’ll watch it this time.”

Astina said seriously.

It was probably about the ‘responsibility’ that Astina was talking about.

In a word, to be number one.

“… … Let’s think about it.”

I couldn’t confirm Astina’s words.

Hearing Astina’s words only made me think more.

I was also concerned about the changed Evan that Yeniel had talked about, and I was also concerned about the things that were going to happen after that.

The behavior of the sympathizer this time.

I was aware that the future had changed from last time, but for the most part, things went as usual.

However, this time was different.

Obviously, I induced Anton and Evan not to meet in the joint practice evaluation.

Then there shouldn’t have been anything that the vice-principal would do in the first place.

However, the incident happened.

The future is twisted.

Of course, the cause was different.

Levin’s magic book owned by Luna.

Because it happened with that magic book.

As far as I know, this spell book is just a magic tool that gives Luna strong powers, and I didn’t know the story behind it.

Because it didn’t come from anywhere.

However, in this case, I knew for sure.

This spell book wasn’t something people would let go of.

They are valuable enough to sacrifice their family to attack.

And the past is also very intertwined with many people… … .

My goal was to survive, but I tried to survive as long as I didn’t harm people.

But now, the people around me are starting to suffer with the future I have changed.

debt feeling.

I started feeling indebted to everyone.

Astina collapsed, Luna almost kidnapped.

These are the people who have been affected by the story that has changed because of me.

Of course, someone will tell you that you don’t have to feel that way.

Because I didn’t mean to harm anyone directly.

But I didn’t want to bring up this defense mechanism.

For a while I could be comfortable, but I was afraid of what happened after that.

When I turn away from things, I cannot prepare for things and the people around me suffer a lot.

These things were so scary.

So, rather than developing such a defense mechanism, I wanted to face this situation head-on with a sense of debt.

I looked at Astina with straight eyes.

“Even if I can’t get first place… … .”

He looked at Astina and smiled softly.

“I will take ‘responsibility’ properly.”

@

Cromwell Lab.

Principal McDowell returned and everyone was at ease, but only one person was suffering more than usual.

That man was Cromwell.

“Wow… … .”

-Hey, my watchlists are written on my lab calendar, so please take care of me. Also ask for the documents.

Robert’s words in the hospital room.

Robert suffered a lot of damage in his last fight with Vice-Chancellor Oliver.

Robert’s magic shows his overwhelming power by cutting his own body.

So, even though it was not directly damaged, it suffered a major internal injury.

When Robert was hospitalized like that, Cromwell’s job went to Cromwell.

Of course, Maguire saw it and took pity on him and took some work, but there was a bigger problem than that.

Principal McDowell came directly to him and said:

-Professor Cromwell, can you take over the position of vice-principal?

“Hey, that’s nonsense!!!”

Cromwell remembered the scene and cried as he looked up at the ceiling.

And I continued thinking.

-If you refuse, there is nothing I can do… … . Then, I’ll just take over as the vice principal for now. Oh and… … .

– I’ll get back to you in a month after working for a while. Maybe in a month or so… … There will be an annual faculty research grant allocation meeting… … .

“Hey, this is an obvious threat… … .”

However, I couldn’t object.

Convenience that Principal McDowell has been looking at.

Professor Cromwell was receiving much larger research grants than other professors.

Of course, research results that match this have been brought every year.

However, even taking this into account, it was true that McDowell favored Cromwell’s convenience.

“The research cost… … .”

If tobacco and alcohol were Cromwell’s soul, then research was Professor Cromwell’s eternal friend.

Being in an environment where you can’t study properly was like losing your best friend.

“Ahhh!!!”

Obviously, if you were promoted to vice principal, your leisure time would be reduced.

then… … .

“I’m going to get scolded by Sophie… … .”

Sophie was Cromwell’s wife.

Cromwell was more afraid of chastising his wife for the disappearance of private time than for it.

“ha… … .”

Cromwell sighed and looked at the shelf next to him.

“Would you like to have a drink… … ?”

The drink he had kept secret.

There was only one bottle of alcohol hidden in the corner, just in case Sophie came to the lab.

A drink that I prepared for one drink on a stressful day like today.

Cromwell thought for a moment, then got up from his seat and began to rummage through the shelves.

“Well… … ?”

However, there was no alcohol there.

The drink was well kept by Robert.

“this… … Strange.”

Cromwell, unaware of that fact, simply looked through the shelves in bewilderment.
