Chapter 85 – Field Training to Decide the Winner (3)

“Ah, teacher!”

Late at night, after completing our exploration of the western forest, we returned to the canteen. Adela was sitting at the counter, staring blankly into the air before she noticed me and waved her hand.

“Did you have a good time?”
“Okay. “Did anything happen?”
“Yes. “Here’s the sale!”

He hands me a bundle of coins, about the size of a handful. Of course, there was no classification at all.
I took out some silver coins and returned them to her hand. Approximately 40 silver.
As Rochoire’s second daughter, she would hardly have had this much money, but she shouldn’t have been pampered for free.

“Good job. Now, today’s daily wage.”
“Wow~.”
“Oh, and from tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to look at the canteen.”
“Yes? Why!?”
“I heard you have field training. “Go and practice with the kids.”

During her magic fight, I had to teach her. So, Adela had to come to the canteen after her regular class, so she had little chance to catch up with the other two.
However, Adela’s expression suddenly darkened when she said something out of consideration for me.

“Teacher…”
“Huh?”
“I don’t need it?”

Necessary? Are you asking me about your needs now?

“Hmm…”
“Teacher?”
“Wait for a sec. “Just think about it.”

I need Adela Sylvester in my life. First of all, let’s not consider the amount of bread we have eaten so far.
Just because of this one thing, the knights of the Roshoard family ruined their stalls and went all the way to the North Sea to have a home interview with the Ice and Snowman, it was an extreme negative.

Putting all that aside, what are your next steps?
During the midterm exam, I had to step on each trap in front of the cafeteria, which was so annoying.
A red flag almost went up at her academy during the student council election.
She had only been away for a while to return from Sandalphonia, but she even destroyed the stall with her own hands.

It has been at most half a year since Adela entered Parenzia Academy. However, half of Mark’s complaints today were hers.
Do we need more calculations here?

“Seo, teacher… ?”

My eyes turned to the iron dog staring at Adela with pitiful eyes. First of all, it’s clear that they are more useful.

“No, right? “I am a very important person, right?”

40 silver in her hand. It’s a bit ambiguous. I think that one is a little more valuable though.
How many pieces of bread are there for 40 silver?

“Well, answer me… !”
“It’s okay, Adella.”
“Yes?”
“A person’s value is not determined by their usefulness.”

Okay, I’m not an economist. She is serving her purpose just by being next to me.
She feeds him food and sometimes watches him run around happily. Mainly for ornamental purposes.

“I also raised a lot of Sea Monkeys when I was young.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a bit creepy when you look at it up close, but it’s cute when you look at it from afar.”
“Am I cute?”

The Academy’s living disaster… No, Adela sneakily came over here. Her wavy hair pricked her cheek.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her, almost touching her. A wide smile appeared on my face, as if I was just happy about that.

“Lol…”

First of all, wouldn’t this be enough? As I was about to return her to her dormitory after some gentle soothing, Adela leaned her head against me.

“Teacher.”
“Why?”
“I just want to love you, teacher.”
“…”
“It hurts my heart to see other people laughing next to the teacher. “That’s why the concession stand was destroyed.”

Know. Because speculation is by no means a light emotion.
Adella, who is not good at deceiving others or doing behind-the-scenes tricks, would have directed her anger towards Liv.

“It is said that Rochear creates his own magic using unique magic.”

Adela produced a small, curved, but pointed chisel on her fingertip.

“I guess my heart is not pure.”
“It is not so.”
“For the two of us to leave here…”

Before speaking, she shook her head.

“No. Sorry.”

An offer that has already been rejected. In the end, Adela was constantly hurt by her desire to have everything in her own hands.

“Please take me home. Even the dormitory.”
“… Okay.”

And I didn’t say anything about it. He didn’t apologize or encourage him to get along with Liv.
It’s a problem they have to sort out themselves. If I were to come forward and take one side, it would become even more complicated.
If I were a noble, it might be better than now, but… It would be better to share enough love before dealing with the issue of marriage.

“I’ll take you there.”

I held Adela’s hand as we walked all the way to the dormitory.

“I’m sorry, Carl.”
“No! No, princess! “I have already received enough teachings from Everat, and he is leaving his practice to further devote himself, so you do not need to apologize to me!”

Erzsebet handed Karl an apple. The reason was that Everat Windguard, who was her guard, could no longer teach swordsmanship.
Perhaps due to some kind of change of heart, she suddenly said that her own sword was far from sufficient and requested to return to Hooks Claw.
As for Erzébet, she felt like her inner self was relieved, but for Karl, she lost her swordsmanship teacher.

“I have already learned enough. “There was no promise to keep an eye on me in the first place, so this is enough.”
“Still… Ah! “Have you made a group for field training?”
“Yes? Oh, not yet.”
“Then won’t you join me? Please consider it a small token of sincerity.”

Carl couldn’t believe his ears.
Coming from southern Bahran, he was a minor nobleman with no insignificant title or fiefdom.
He can take the final exam like the princess. Even Erzébet’s grades so far have been excellent.

“Really? How dare I…”
“Are you okay. Still, it’s rare for someone in the same grade to be as good with a sword as he is. Even if this hadn’t happened, I would have asked first.”
“Thank you! “I will try my best.”
“Okay, please take care of me.”

A useful potential was found. Because it was a field training that replaced the final exam, competition for talent was fierce.
Erzébet, who was trying to save at least one remaining person from a more skilled wizard than herself, immediately got up from her seat.

“Then the last person is one of the children of a prestigious magical family I know…”

Sigh!

At that time, there was a person sitting next to her holding the hem of her dress. She was Adella, resting her chin in a daze and looking out her window.

“Adela?”
“…”
“Ho, by any chance… “Did you not get it?”

Nod.

Cold sweat formed on Erzsebet’s forehead.

“Well, I hope you get it quickly. We have to hurry…”
“…”
“No, let go Adela! The final evaluation is not a midterm exam! “I need to find someone with skills!”

Don’t let go Instead, the hand holding the hem of the clothes froze and stuck together.
Adela opened her mouth with her unfocused eyes.

“Magical… “Famous family.”
“Well, of course Roshoar is a famous magic family, but you are not! Let go! Pii, please help me quickly!”
“Pee—!”
“Evil! Why are you attacking me again! Pee! Stop it! “Ahh!!”

Erzébet was able to save his two teammates without moving a single step from his seat.

At the same time, Karen got out of her carriage and stretched a little. The platform was crowded with second-year students who had completed their magic training.
While Professor Vincent was conducting his final personnel inspection, I took a deep breath in the fresh air of Parencia that I had not smelled in a long time.

“Ha~ I think I’ll buy it. After coming back here from that foggy place, I can finally breathe. Right… Live?”
“Huh. I know.”

Your attitude towards your close friend is unusual. Karen was feeling a strange sense of distance from Liv.

“Karen? “What’s on my face?”
“Huh? Oh no… Nothing.”

In a short period of time, Liv changed something.
At first glance, nothing particularly seemed to have changed, but the aura emanating from the slender body itself was different.
Her black hair, which was once dull black, took on a fascinating purple color depending on the angle, and the fragrance emanating from her slender body stole the attention of everyone gathered at the station.

“Let’s hurry. “I need to unpack and rest.”
“Uh, huh.”

Her pink lips with a relaxed smile and her calm voice, which was originally pretty, all raised her charm several levels higher.
Karen, who had no idea what happened at the Magic Tower, could only guess.

Last time, I borrowed her contraceptive. Does she have a boyfriend?

***

Upon returning to her academy, Liv immediately unpacked her luggage, grabbed a few souvenirs, and headed to her canteen.
From her waist hung a cane made of metallurgy, twice as long as before.
In quiet afternoons, she knew that Lewis took a light sleep inside the counter when she wasn’t a customer.
As I quietly entered the cafeteria, two iron dogs noticed my approach.

“Shh.”

As she lightly raised her hand, Liv’s presence completely disappeared. After cleverly fooling the two guard dogs, she slowly approached and sat down next to Lewis.
When her oblique hand ran through her hair, he immediately opened her eyes. Liv smiled brightly when she saw him looking at her in slight surprise.

“Baron Liv?”
“I’m here, boss.”

Here’s a gift -. When I handed him a small bracelet sold at the Magic Tower, he said thank you, took it, and put it in a drawer.
Liv had no way of knowing what Louise liked or what her hobbies were.
But as expected, she hates cumbersome things. She thought about it and took out one more gift she had prepared.

“I bought this to give to my boss.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a puzzle. “A magic puzzle that is proud of the Pekda Magic Tower.”

1160*850 jigsaw puzzle. The title is Baldur’s Nightmare.
It was a puzzle with as many as 3,000 white pieces covered in thick fog, and not only was it extremely difficult to solve, but it was also difficult to know what the original intention was.

“Oh, that sounds fun. “I’ll play with it slowly later when I have time.”

However, he preferred toys that only these young boys would enjoy.
Just as she was feeling excited about her success, Lewis asked her.

“By the way, Baron. Do you participate in field training conducted by first-year students?”
“Oh, that?”

I already heard this from Professor Vincent in the tram. Compared to the first-year students who work as a team of three, there is only one second-year student waiting in the dungeon. Of course, since the number of people required was small, it was possible to leave if you did not want to participate.
There was an opinion from the faculty that students who returned from Pekda Map Tower should be given a break, as it may be a particularly difficult schedule——

“Yes. “Of course I should.”

Liv declared his intention to participate on the spot. Because,

“It’s a perfect opportunity to educate juniors.”
