Chapter 103 – Aftermath (2)

Except for weekends and a few special cases, academy students have to live inside the house all the time.

When it was a game, I thought it was just a system limitation or a device to make me focus on the academy.

But later, when I heard from Carla, there was a reason for everything.

In the past, I was able to go out freely, but every time I went out, a big and small accident happened and I was banned altogether?

For example, a guy who couldn’t give up his habits in his manor and did stupid things in the city.

A talented student who just quietly came to play was attacked by mercenaries or assassins who were instigated by a rival territory.

Or that the cultists are concocting the situation so that they are mistaken like that.

Originally, the purpose of establishing the academy was to deal with the remnants of evil spirits that the first warrior, Rahim, could not clean up.

However, after nearly 300 years of peace, its meaning has faded.

The current academy is not considered a training center for elites to be on the front line, but an intermediate stage for success and family revival.

That would be the problems that arise.

What… In addition to being able to block the terrorism of cultists for a long time, clearing some dungeons was deliberately delayed in order to continuously collect materials.

It would be hard to imagine that the cultists would have been gathering their strength to turn the tide.

It was not 10 or 20 years, but a peace that lasted for 300 years.

It leaked a little, but the important thing is that most of the students stay inside the academy.

Seeing such a situation, naturally, various convenience facilities began to appear inside the academy.

Market Street was one of them.

A commercial district where merchants outside the academy, not those inside the academy, are allowed to do business.

A street that sells food that doesn’t come out of the academy cafeteria, and miscellaneous items and luxury items that aren’t made in the workshop street.

“If it’s here, there must be a fan you like, Elisha.”

“Oh? Are my eyes high?”

As soon as it was after school, Elisha smiled proudly at the entrance of the market street.

Maybe it’s because her complexion, which looked haggard from suffering all night last night, has already recovered.

I asked Elisha, who seemed excited to anyone.

“By the way, where can I buy a fan? Could it be something like a general store?”

“I might sell them there, but… You have to go to the clothing store to buy the right stuff, sir.”

“Okay? If it was enough to enter the academy, I think they would have displayed one or two high-end items.”

“I should stay as the master said, but… Maybe not the kind Elisha wants? Because what they sell there will be only debts that are faithful to their function.”

“Yes. On the other hand, the items sold in clothing stores are designed to go well with luxury dresses.”

“Aha?”

I kind of understood.

If it were an ordinary fan, even 10 gold would be expensive and well made… Are you saying that a fan that goes with a 1,000 gold dress should be more than that?

The reason Elisha wants to keep her fan isn’t because it’s hot.

It would be appropriate to go to a clothing store to use it as a sort of accessory.

As she nodded her head to herself, Elisha added in her cautious voice.

“Ugh… Don’t worry, I’m not trying to pick something too grand. Anyway, that kind of thing doesn’t go well with the servant’s uniform I’m wearing now.”

“I didn’t care about the price, so choose as much as you like. But it certainly doesn’t seem like something that’s too expensive will go well with your clothes.”

Like the clothes provided by the academy, the maid’s uniform is made of good materials and is strong, but… That’s right, it’s a maid’s uniform after all.

It can’t be helped that it’s a bit sleazy.

“Since we’re gone, how many clothes should I buy for you guys?”

“I like it, master!”

“I’m fine too… Do you have anything to wear?”

“Stupid Elisha! You can wear it at night! You can wear it when you go out on the weekend.”

“Aren’t you a fool, Carla? Why are you dressed up when you’re not even going for a walk at night? Ah.”

Carla, who twitched her index finger as if she didn’t know what to do, and Elisha, who dyed her face red as if she was imagining something.

They smiled at the sight of the two and leisurely walked down the market street.

Let’s start with the biggest store first.

***

Not only fans, but clothes to wear appropriately, clothes to wear at night, and clothes to wear while exploring dungeons.

Since I came this far, I bought all of them.

On the way to take a few snacks as a bonus. It was around the time I passed a street that sold non-finished products.

“Yes?”

I could see it from afar, but my heart, which was very familiar, throbbed.

Fay Jarnshard.

How could you mistake that chest?

Recently, I asked you to make it mainly for magic equipment.

Are you here to buy the ingredients?

I haven’t given you the next donation yet, so maybe I just came to preview the stuff.

Anyway, since I met Fay in an unexpected place, I raised her hand to say hello to her gladness… It was a step too late.

An unknown woman appeared and put her arm around her shoulder, and she whispered something to her frightened Fay and took her to her alley.

“… It seems we’ve run into a bit of a problem. Can you cast Kara’s Silence spell?”

“Your master.”

Ugh.

Carla casts magic immediately without asking or questioning.

You don’t need to write until Invisible. Even though it is an academy full of wizards, invisibility is very suspicious.

This is a market street with a lot of floating population. It might draw attention, so it would be better to just use silence.

Seeing that, Elisha tilted her head and asked.

“Yandel? Isn’t it just meeting and talking with friends? No matter how much Fei-yang is dependent on your support, it’s a little too much to invade her privacy….”

“It’s not like that.”

It’s a sight that people who don’t know well would want to meet a friend on the road.

But I know

“Fei-senpai doesn’t have any friends.”

So that’s not a normal situation.

“Yes? Yes… ? Hey, aren’t you talking too much, Yandel… ?”

She was Embarrassed Elisha, but since she had roughly heard Fay’s circumstances the other day, she quickly agreed and shut her mouth.

When I killed her presence and carefully approached her alley, I was able to examine the situation inside.

Faye is cornered with a wall on her back. A pair of men and women surround Fay.

“You did well this time.”

“Go, thank you.”

“You are out now.”

“Yes….”

The woman who withdrew after being treated badly was the one who put Fei on her shoulder.

Judging by the color of the badge, it’s the same sophomore department as Fei, but it seems like a hierarchical relationship.

However, the relationship between the two is not my business.

What matters is his relationship with Fay.

Even if we’re not friends, we can have a conversation, so I thought what to do if it’s something trivial, so I tried to look at the situation first.

“You look good these days. Your clothes are clean, and you smell good… And I can afford to look around for such expensive materials.”

It shouldn’t be necessary.

A blonde male student who looked up and down Faye and said that.

Because no one seems to have called it for a good purpose.

Faye, who seemed a little daunted by this, opened her mouth trembling.

“What, what happened all of a sudden? He said he had something to say about the rumors of his junior.”

“Right. It did. Yes. You. Are you sponsored these days? My grades are getting better, and I’m unlucky to be messing around every day. That sponsor looks like a famous kid named Yandel these days, right?”

“That is… Why?”

“Looks right. Give it then.”

“… What?”

“Ah, it’s not because I lack money, so don’t get me wrong. Unlike anyone else, I have a lot of family support. I’m borrowing it for a while.”

The blonde giggling like he told a funny joke.

Even a three-year-old could tell that it was a mockery of Fay.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately took out the crystal ball for recording from my inventory.

Stealing from the academy? Are you crazy?

It’s true that we hear that the academy isn’t what it used to be these days, but it’s not going so far as to condone it.

If you provide proper evidence, you will be able to feed a reasonable discipline.

Carla and Elisha frowned, perhaps thinking the same thing, but didn’t step forward.

Instead, in order not to be caught on the way, the magic to hide the presence was overlapped in earnest.

So while we are fully prepared.

Fei, who was unable to do anything about the malice pushed in front of her nose and wandered in her gaze, closed her eyes tightly and shouted.

“Oh, no! Can’t give it! This is my money! If it’s not special, I’ll go now….”

Thump

The blonde grabs Faye’s wrist as she tries to leave her seat.

“Who already said they would let you go?”

“Leave this! The gold sponsored in the first place has been used up!”

“Okay?”

The blond guy seemed a little disappointed, but soon smiled.

“Then I want to borrow something other than money. For example… Like that big pocket.”

No, this bitch?

If I wasn’t the only one surprised, Fei also asked with eyes wondering if this guy was sane.

“… What?”

“Don’t look at me with those eyes. Everyone knew about this rumor. That you were completely abandoned by the family.”

“That… Case….”

“If it wasn’t so, wouldn’t you be so ignorant of rumors that you were selling your body to a horny junior and being sponsored?”

“…….”

“There is no one in this academy to protect you. Not even outside.”

“Oh… !”

“But I am different. For a little price, I can make sure no one touches me until I graduate.”

After saying that, the guy sneakily put her hand on Fay’s shoulder.

“What do you think? I’m not asking you to refuse sponsorship, but it sounds like a pretty good offer.”

“… What’s okay!”

Fei freaked out and cut off the guy’s hand. Then, he shook his arm and tried to shake it off.

“Don’t touch me! I will also tell the professor about that, so let go of this quickly!”

“Under….”

He sighed annoyed at Faye’s violent reaction and raised her hand, which had bounced off it.

“No, that is damn expensive. How many times have you given it anyway? A big-breasted mongrel bitch!”

Match!

“Kyaaak!”

And subsequent violence.

The moment he saw Fei’s head snapped after being slapped on the cheek.

“I can’t stand it any longer.”

She gave herself over to the fury that was evident and raging, and projected mana with all her might.

Visor-!

At best, the stealth magic that Karla and Elisha had cast multiple times exceeded the acceptance limit and was broken with a loud sound.

And.

“Ouch… Heck… !”
“Keuk….”

The magical power that took over the entire alley at once wrapped around the necks of the two gnomes.

Telekinesis magic.

The most primitive, and therefore the most swift magic.

Instead, it loses some power, but….

Unless it’s a knight or wizard, it’s enough to catch those two who seem to be undergraduates in production.

I stood in front of the blond guy, receiving Fei’s stare, her eyes wide open as if she had seen a ghost.

As I watched the guy raise his tiptoes and squeak desperately, a rough voice came out without me even realizing it.

“What did you just say?”

“Kuheugh….”

“Tell me again.”

“Kek! Khehe….”

Of course it is.

The telekinesis magic did not release it.
