Chapter 100 – Second Afterword

Dean Rubirus Tristegion was looking at the report with a dark expression.

Because the content of the report is bad news? It wasn’t. It was closer to good news than bad news, especially news to be delighted with.

The content of the report was simple. There was a brief summary of the incident that had occurred at the Jangmi Hall three days ago and the statements I heard about the incident from the officials.

“..Really, is this report true?”
“Yes, this is a fact confirmed by Professor Karned, who is in charge of the fusion necromancy lecture, and Professor Oakley, who is in charge of the Asmodian sealing lecture, who have gone to the field. It is said that it is certain just by looking at the corpses of the monsters found at the site, the traces of necromancy, and the demons remaining throughout the rose garden.”

Well, at that, Dean Rubyrus frowned even more and took a closer look at the report.

According to this report, it is said that a follower of the Demon King’s family appeared inside this academy leading talented people to fight against the Demon King’s army. This was a matter of safety before the academy’s reputation.

In addition, the names of the people who prevented and resolved the incident recorded in the report were only names that were too familiar to the dean.

“The students who prevented and resolved this incident…”
“Yes, these are the members of Professor Senia Reeves’s alchemy club, led by Artin Ludwig, the student who solved the Ganja case in the Demon King’s army last time.”

Even after the rose crown case was resolved, it was Zorba, the successor of the Pelcas Merchant, who summoned the people of the academy, including Agnes, the imperial princess, Shao Mei, the daughter of the god of war, and Violet, the granddaughter of the great witch.

However, it was Artin Ludwig who put his name at the top of the report, overtaking such prominent figures.

He is the third son of an insignificant baron family located in the province of the kingdom, and at the same time the most famous student these days.

“First of all, it’s really good that what could have been a major tragedy was quelled at an early stage…”

Dean Rubyrus, who put down the report, looked around with a cold voice.

Some of the professors who were in charge of the case trembled at the tone and eyes and looked anxious as if they were sitting on cushions of thorns. It was not the students who had to prevent this incident, but themselves.

“If these courageous students had failed, or if these students had not noticed this incident… Terrible things would have happened by now.”
“He has no face. Dean.”
“We couldn’t believe that there would be such a meeting inside the academy… “

The obvious lie deepened the wrinkles between the dean’s eyebrows. The professors who were supposed to take responsibility for their light statements of immunity had no choice but to be seen by anyone.

The academy thoroughly advocates meritocracy. The reason is simple. The academy’s founding ideology is a place to nurture talent to deal with the demon king’s army. Those who graduate with excellent grades here are bound to be exposed to war with the Demon King’s army, whether they like it or not.

What if a person with no skills gets a high evaluation? It doesn’t just end with dying alone. When incompetent individuals gather together, they become an incompetent group and cause a big accident.

Of course, those with big family backgrounds to cover it up were highly regarded for their talents. However, not all criminals have good family backgrounds. They naturally become dissatisfied with the academy and have their own group.

Six Stars was one of those common gatherings in the academy. There were students who were weeded out because of their skills, family background, or lack of looks or sociability, but the academy did not take care of them.

“This is because these guys who have no talent have anti-social ideologies. How about kicking out the bottom 10% of students every year from now on?”
“I think it would be okay to ban private gatherings of students altogether. Guys of that age don’t spend their energy in strange places even if they go around them?”

After reading the report, the professors noticed the dean and began to express their opinions one by one, but the inner meaning of the opinions was the same. It means that we should take care of ourselves so that talented children are not harmed.

‘…How could the academy, an educational institution, take on such an appearance…’

Dean Rubyrus clicked his tongue inwardly, but he was in no position to blame them. After all, even the person in the highest position hadn’t kept her mouth shut and sympathized with her.

What if you don’t agree? The idea of ​​​​arranging a curriculum according to each individual’s talents was an opinion that came from meaningful professors who had just been appointed every year. However, the dean always shook his head and withdrew his opinion of her.

The reason was simple. The budget of the academy is limited, and no matter how many people there are, they are not enough. However, there are still many people who are sacrificed on the frontlines of the Demon King’s army. No matter how the budget is met, manpower cannot be easily recruited.

However, the fact that the result had reached the point where the students had to block the Demon King’s scheme, the dean had to feel bitter feelings.

“First of all, we will strengthen special education about the dangers of the demon lord. Please allow all students to complete special education except for those with special reasons.”
“All right. I will give instructions to the professor in charge to quickly formulate and report the curriculum.”
“And about the Rexton Wise student who is listed as the ringleader here… “
“Ah, the Rexton student decided to withdraw from her mana her and confine herself directly to her family her.”

At that, some professors were puzzled. It hasn’t even been a week since the incident happened, so how could the punishment have already been finalized?

“The head of the Weiss family, Earl Leonard Weiss, contacted us this morning to do so.”
“Ah…”

Even though the professors were dissatisfied with that statement, they could not refute it. The Weiss family was one of the great families that donated the most to the academy, and they had enough influence.

“However, wouldn’t students from other great families be dissatisfied? This seems like a more serious matter, but… “

Only the dean showed a look of discomfort and asked the aristocratic professor from the kingdom he had just spoken to. This case was too big a problem to go over with such a light discipline.

“Even so, Count Leonard Wise himself came to the academy and said that he would apologize in an interview with his students.”
“…The count himself?”
“He said that it is the responsibility of parents to raise their children wrong, so it is the right thing to apologize for yourself.”

At those words, the dean let out a sigh. For the academy to personally apologize to the students, it was an offer that was difficult to refuse. Of course, even the dean of Rubyrus himself could not know how sincere an apology would be.

‘..I really liked the time when I was only studying magic, but now it’s so difficult to even say a word about anything.’

If the corporal punishment of the person concerned was like that, it was up to the academy to put the remaining complaints to rest.

When the dean was suffering from a headache over a troubling fact, the secretary who had been reporting calmly next to him opened his mouth further.

“And… Some professors are complaining.”
“Are you complaining? What else do you mean?”

Are there young and awake professors who want to lead individual curriculum? The dean began to see a small glimmer of hope amidst this troubling series of events.

“Since Artin student has not been in class for the past few days, the professors’ dissatisfaction is growing, asking to encourage Artin student to participate in class.”
“…”

Artin Ludwig, a student, declared her recuperation for several days and was absent from class because of her aftereffects after solving the case.

Naturally, the academy promised the best service by treating Artin students who had solved dangerous cases twice as VIPs, and in fact, discussing upgrading Artin students, who are currently treated as bronze class, to silver class, and up to gold class. .

By the way, even if you feel grateful and ashamed for the fact that you have to get help from a student right away, ask to attend class?

“Is that really true now?”
“Some senior professors asked me to find out if an Artin student would be willing to become a graduate student, saying that even if she was a temporary teaching assistant, she would not.”
“Please tell them to ask themselves! Do you think the dean thinks they are running errands!”

When Dean Rubyrus couldn’t stand it any longer and screamed, several professors around him flinched in anger.

In fact, after looking around to ask about Artin students, when the dean shouted, they were relieved that they hadn’t stepped forward.

“There is not enough talent. Talent…How everyone is so selfish…”

The adults who should lead the students thought only of their own interests and position, the dean recalled Artin Ludwig with a big sigh.

‘…What is that student trying to do now?’

A brilliant jewel that did not spare its own body in a series of events and fought against the demon king’s ganja and even the demon king’s executive. If he is the academy’s hope, he must be that child.

I thought the convenience for artin students should be increased a little more, and the dean continued the meeting to prepare for the measures of the incident again.

**

At that time, Artin got down on his knees and looked around.

“Artine.”
“Yes…”
“Brother.”
“Yes…”

At the cold voices of Agnes and Xiao Mei, Artin glanced at him and put on a pitiful and miserable expression as much as possible. However, despite Artin’s appearance his, the two women stood with their arms crossed and looked down at Artin with a determined attitude.

“We won’t talk about saving Miss Violet. Rather, I think I did well.”
“Yes…”
“Having a relationship with Unicor… We understood. Because it was an unavoidable situation and Unicor also claimed to love Artin with her whole heart her.”
“Yes…”
“Besides, we were the ones who kept telling Artin about 3 wives and 4 concubines…So I could understand. Even if Miss Olga and a woman named Lucy… Were to come, there could have been at least four people who loved Artin. It was in my calculations.”
“…Olga and Lucy haven’t even met yet…I’m sorry..”

Artin, who was trying to protest his injustice of her, stopped her words and bowed her head at the intimidation of Xiao Mei who was glaring at him fiercely. The feeling of intimidation I felt from Lilith wasn’t so harsh.

I could understand Xiaomei and I up to this point. And he must have been bored since we were alone as we were moving to clean up the case. I could understand even there.”
“…That…That’s…”
“But what the hell are these women? To the devil, to the demon tribe, Shion Idris, why the hell is that woman here, Artin?”

Flinch!

Al’Miraj, Shirka, and Shion, who were kneeling together behind Artin, looked at Agnes and looked as low as they could.

“Hey, you two calm down, huh? Artin must have something he wants to say, but rather than pushing it like that, let’s solve it through dialogue? Yes?”
“That, yes. It’s not like your partner did it because of bad intentions, so shouldn’t you calm down and listen to your partner’s opinion?”

Agnes let out a deep sigh as Violet and Unicorn, who were watching the two of them from the side, embraced Artine.

Concerned about the fact that Artin was resting alone, Agnes, who came to Artin’s temporary accommodation right after finishing his student council work, had to doubt his eyes her when he saw the scenery.

“Then can you explain, Artin? For what reason did you have a fight with the dream demon lord, Lilith, and ended up naked with the devil, familiar to the succubus and Violet?”
“Besides, why was a nasty woman hiding in my brother’s room who should have been in the hospital room?”
“No… That’s…”

Artin tried to say something, but he couldn’t come up with a good excuse. Will you forgive me if I tell you the truth?

‘Zorba…! Cayenne…! Anybody is fine, so please help me..!’

Artin called out to the two men with a devastated expression on his face, but Zorba was the busiest person to deal with the situation, and Cayenne was unable to come because he was guarded by the women.

After all, he has to explain himself. That fact made Artin feel more fearful and difficult than when he broke through the crown of roses.

“That’s why… First of all, let’s start with Al’Miraz… We should start with the day of the rose garden…”
“Don’t get up, get down on your knees and talk. Brother.”

Artin, who naturally got up at the same time as the explanation because his legs were numb, had to kneel down again quietly.

‘It’s so sad…’

But Agnes and Xiao-Mei seemed to be angry. That’s right, seeing Artin lying around with the demons, he couldn’t help but feel angry… But he was sad. Weren’t the two people talking about 3 wives and 4 concubines?

However, Artin, who did not have the confidence to argue with that, began to explain calmly again.

“That’s it… After breaking the barrier of the rose crown…”
