Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

Chapter 56

56 – Young master Sloth is too competent (2)

The students at the Imperial Academy were in a commotion.

“New Rules?”

——

[ Introduction of reward and penalty points system ]

– Current Imperial Academy students are applied without exception.

– With the authority of the professor, you can impose stores and penalty points on students.

-If you reach 50 shops, you can receive a recommendation letter and full tuition waiver. If you score more than 50 points, you will be expelled.

President of the Imperial Academy, Clifford Finance Yoon Heo-ham.

——

“Me, full exemption?!”

Tuition at the academy is expensive.

It’s a bit of a burden even for a decent number of nobles.

If you are a commoner or an aristocrat in a small territory, there is a slight discount.

Even including that, it’s a formidable amount.

“A savage commoner… Are tuition fees important? Letters of recommendation are important!”

Whether it’s a wizard or a knight, the highest honor is to work in the imperial family.

As long as there was a record of working for the imperial family, it was easy to get a job anywhere.

However, in order to enter the imperial family, you must have connections. This is because those who cannot be trusted will not be selected no matter how good their skills are.

In other words, letters of recommendation are the reason people come to the academy. Until now, I received letters of recommendation without a clear standard, but it was as if I had a clear standard.

Perhaps that is why the students focused on the store rather than focusing on the penalty points.

“If you take liberal arts classes, the store +3? Heh, who hears useless things like liberal arts? Isn’t that funny?”

One of the commoner students looked to her side with a sneer.

“…… What are you doing?”

“Huh? Uh… Oh, nothing.”

The friend next to me was already filling out the application form for liberal arts classes.

“Are you going to fall for the aristocrats’ schemes?!”

“Yeah, but tuition is free… “

“… I only have one.”

“I knew that and prepared it.”

“As expected, Hannah, you are a genius.”

On the other hand, there were also people who did not feel much inspiration after seeing the poster.

That was Hercy.

‘I see.’

She was just that much of an impressionist.

From the marquis level, they are classified as high-ranking nobles, but they didn’t feel much merit to them, whose only goal was to succeed.

I just want to avoid penalty points. Because that’s not honorable.

Hersy glanced at the poster once, and then she walked off somewhere. She was heading toward the place where the professor’s offices in the main building were gathered.

Smart.

Hersy quietly knocked on the door.

I sensed the flow of her magical power beyond the door.

Kiki.

The door opened automatically. Hersie put away her expressionless face and entered with a smiley face.

“Ruid! Ah, should I call you Professor Ruid?”

Emeritus Professor Ruid.

She was in his room. Ruid stared at Hercy from the top of the furry cushion on the floor.

It was the look on his face that had just woken up.

“Hello Hersy.”

‘Today is also cute… !’

Ruid’s eyes are special. Because it shines bright even in the dark. Like Amelia, it seemed to be a characteristic of the Windsors.

So, in a room with the lights off, or in a dark place, it looked unrealistic.

Louise sat in her seat, pulling back the curtains in her mind. Brilliant sunlight flooded the room and brightened it.

Since Louis De’s height was so short, she was very cute because she looked like she was being held in her chair rather than sitting on it.

Hersh placed the lunch boxes he had prepared on the table one by one. At that time, Miho, who was riding on Hercy’s shoulders, climbed onto the fur cushion that Ruid was sleeping on.

I curled up as if I liked this place very much. Louis frowned at her.

“Hey.”

[What?]

Miho tilted her head as if wondering.

“That’s my seat. Sleep somewhere else because your fur is flying.”

[Heeing….]

Miho sulkily rolled her tail around her belly and lay down on the cold marble beside her cushion.

Hersy smiled and naturally brought up her topic.

“The academy policy has changed today. Was it a reward/penalty point system? ? Did you know?”

“Yes. Because I made it.”

Hersy’s hand stopped opening the lid of the lunch box.

“Yes, yes?”

She was a little taken aback.

“Why? Do you think it’s bad?”

Ruid was honestly curious about Hercy’s feelings.

I passed easily, but dissatisfaction among students was another matter.

Of course, Hercy couldn’t deny Ruid’s idea.

She answered seriously.

“I wondered which genius lived in such a noble and correct way, but it was Ruid. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is truly revolutionary. It is a great policy.”

“…… Don’t you think that’s all right?”

No matter how much Louis did, she thought it was too much to show off too much.

“Is there any backlash?”

‘Dare to oppose Ruid’s policy… ?’

Hercy was very uncomfortable just thinking about it.

If there was such a child, she wanted to show the power of Minerva, who had been silent until now.

“There will be none.”

“… Huh?”

“Yes?”

Hercy made an innocent expression.

It must not be Louise, she ate the lunchbox thinking.

‘It’s really tasteless.’

Please don’t use that bastard’s decryption magic.

“Idiots pay attention to stores, but no. The real thing is the penalty.”

Katherine said to Justin, narrowing her eyes. Justin said with a righteous look.

“We reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. This is a righteous thing.”

“Justice is a piece of sh*t. Is your head full of flowers?”

Katherine sighed and explained herself.

The duality of this policy.

“If I could explain it in a way that is easier for you to understand, it means that I will cook the students to my heart’s content according to the taste of the professors. If you don’t like it even a little bit, it’s like giving a penalty point.”

“No way. I don’t think professors do that.”

Justin respected the professors at the academy.

“Okay. I’m skeptical Aren’t nobles all hating commoners now? But will professors who are too busy paying attention to give penalty points?”

“Of course I will.”

“Ha, you don’t know anything. It’s okay. You will know it when you see it for yourself.”

Catherine took the lead in opening the door. It was a liberal arts class, ‘nobility’s etiquette’.

Originally, Catherine encouraged Justin to take etiquette lessons, and she always listened.

She knew that learning etiquette would come in handy later than learning farming.

“Huh? There are many people today.”

There were more people than usual in the classroom. Justin shook his head twice.

She said Katherine seemed pitiful.

“Of course, they say they will give you a shop, so they don’t come around. The other classes are shop +1, but etiquette is shop +3, right? It’s unpleasant to feel the will to listen to etiquette so openly.”

As Catherine and Justin sat down, students opened the door and entered the classroom as if pouring in.

“… Why are nobles here?”

Catherine frowned.

“Cheap bastards. There is no aristocrat who doesn’t know manners, so he must have come here to score comfortably.”

“Ah…… I see.”

Catherine’s guess was correct.

Some aristocrats changed course to take lucrative subjects to get a shop.

Etiquette was one of those subjects. Because the nobility is a very advantageous field.

“That old lady who likes nobles must be excited.”

“Looking at the count, you’re an old lady. Catherine, that’s not right.”

“Did you learn respect by learning manners? A harmony of commoners and respect… It’s terrible. It’s like a cat worrying about a lion.”

Catherine fluttered her whale.

Then, the door opened. She must be the countess in charge of etiquette, she thought, but no.

-Isn’t it Lady Hercy?

– How can you be so dignified?

It was Hercy Minerva who opened the door and entered.

Catherine didn’t like her.

‘I didn’t see it that way. I never thought he would come here because of his grades.’

Of course, Hercy only came to the class where there was the greatest possibility of revolt against Ruid’s policy.

Hersy sat down without talking to anyone. He seemed to be looking this way for a moment, but he soon turned to the front.

Countess Millaeum, the first lecturer of ‘Noble Manners’, came in. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, giving the impression that she had a lot of anger.

However, his expression soon softened when he saw the inside of the classroom, especially Hersi.

‘My God. You can make a face like that.’

Justin was horrified.

“There are so many special people today. Could it be that the Countess of Millaeum is very gentle, and you came because you expected that she would do a good job? Ohhhhh, that is a very accurate prediction.”

Emma Millaum covered her mouth and laughed. She felt very good when she saw a high-ranking noble while dealing with aristocrats who didn’t even look like nobles in a secluded estate or commoners.

“Let’s start class. A lot of people are hearing about it for the first time, so let’s start with the basics.”

Emma pointed to Hercy.

“Lady Hersey, can you tell me which side of the table you place your fork in?”

Hersy stood up puzzled and said.

“… Right.”

“What should I do when I put down the teacup?”

From noble mtl dot com

“You have to put it down as quietly as possible.”

“Perfect answer. I’ll charge Lady Hercy 5 points for a great answer-“

“?!”

The students’ expressions changed.

The nobles were jubilant, and the commoners were rotten. It was natural. The Countess of Millaeum, as she was now, had declared that she would discriminate openly.

At that time, Hercy answered firmly.

“Thank you for taking good care of me, but I will refuse.”

Countess Millaeum was a little taken aback.

‘Isn’t this what I wanted?’

“I just came to watch today. She said, Mrs. Please conduct the class as usual. I don’t care if I can.”

The bewildered Countess Millaeum shifted her gaze.

“Hmmm. So next…… Justin?”

Justin stood up with a firm expression.

“It’s already been two months since I took my class. Are you washing your body well?”

The nobles sighed and laughed. Asking if I washed my body was the same as asking if I knew how to walk.

“… We are trying our best.”

Emma’s eyebrows went up.

“Maximum effort? Is washing yourself that difficult?”

“I don’t have enough time, and I don’t have the money for such luxuries.”

“Sa, Sachi?”

Emma said with an absurd face.

“If you think that is a luxury, why are you taking etiquette classes? You, three points.”

“… ….”

The commoners looked at Emma with cold eyes. The aristocrats had the face of Sam Tong.

Justin sat down without saying anything.

Katherine said quietly.

“Am I right? Justin.”

“… ….”

Justin’s gaze at the Countess of Millaeum chilled.

Phenicia headed towards Louis at a quick pace with the papers in her arms for her report.

Ruid’s policy was very successful.

There was no doubt that I should have taken more time to watch it, but for now it was.

Since the Every Library, incidents of hate have continued every day, but there were no such reports yesterday or today.

Phenicia is what Ruid said, ‘Make it focus on the store rather than the penalty points. For example, instead of giving a penalty point for not doing etiquette, a store is given for taking a etiquette class.’

The effect was great. Even on the first day since the reward/penalty point system was implemented, it was receiving a very positive response.

‘How can you do it all at once?’

I remembered what Clifford always said. ‘There is nothing more difficult than solving complex problems in a simple way.’ Ruid did the difficult job.

Smart.

Phenicia knocked on her door with a slight smile on her face.

There was no answer. Phenicia recalled what she had said yesterday, ‘If you have something to say, just come in.’

“This is the Vice President of Phenicia. I’ll go in.”

Phenicia opened the door.

And, as soon as she entered, she was speechless at the sight she saw.

Ruid was sleeping curled up like a cat on a small fur cushion on the floor.

“… ….”

Louis and her eyes met, and a little silence passed.
