15 – 15. Adela Cathy

A student would never dream of going outside of Russell;

Even the instructor cannot do this unless there are very legitimate and urgent reasons.

However, there are people who come and go here quite naturally.

That is, the merchant and the carriage.

No matter how closed the academy is, meals have to be provided first.

Preventing the supply of food was no different from saying that we would become self-sufficient here.

The empire wasn’t stupid enough to encourage farming in the already busy academy.

Of course, merchants and wagons also undergo strict inspection, but even that has its limits.

If you search for each and every item according to FM, the guard will fall before daybreak.

In a relatively lax inspection, sneaking Damien’s tears into the mountain of food?

To be honest, it wasn’t even a thing.

Anyway, the largest group among the merchants is the Cash Merchant.

Now William Cash. In other words, although Adella Cathy’s father was a Sangsan lord, considering that she was her only daughter, it was safe to say that she was the definitive successor.

In other words, Adela Cash is the most successful commoner, and at the same time, she is the general manager of the top level of Cash within Russell.

He is the only person who can procure items outside the academy for me, whose action radius is limited to Russell, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most important connection for me in terms of its usefulness.

I thought my first contact with her would be after her reputation had risen to a reasonable level….

“I’m going to die waiting?”

I spent the entire weekend reviewing assignments and adding comments, and now I’m waking up to Monday morning with my eyes wide open at the table.

I was struggling with the conviction that if I didn’t stop Damian’s tears as soon as possible, I might face the first ‘death from overwork ending’ in game history.

One second is not a waste. We need to lay the groundwork starting from today’s class and start construction immediately.

I headed out of the dorm with Adela Cathy’s assignment.

After adding about five spoons more coffee than the appropriate amount, I sat down on the bench in front of the front door and started drinking it to collect my thoughts.

“If you approach it like you did with Scarlett, it won’t work.”

There were two reasons why Scarlett cooperated with me.

First, it was a special situation in which hell would unfold at the academy if we did not cooperate.

Secondly, she is not the kind of person who would turn a blind eye to something even though she knows it.

The first reason is that Adela is lacking. In other words, it was a justification.

She is also someone who will cooperate willingly if an event approaches that would cause Russell to collapse.

The problem is that there will not be a crisis of that magnitude for some time to come.

But they couldn’t give me an excuse, saying that if I didn’t cooperate, they would kill us all.

So, you have to go with the regular method.

A merchant-like approach that suits her best.

Give and take. It takes the form of a transaction.

“What can I give…?” .”

A request to smuggle poison into the academy, which, if caught, could lead to expulsion and possibly even greater risks.

I must prepare a return that is at least equal to or greater than that.

I wondered if there was such a thing, but when I thought about it, there was.

Interim evaluation to be held in the next 15 days.

It’s only been a few days since I was possessed, but the point at which I was possessed was not just a few days.

About a month has already passed. It’s a good time to start lining up.

Line-up is conducted as a sparring match, which is close to actual practice.

Adam takes the lead in the story, but now that friend has disappeared….

Maybe Scarlett and Adela will fight.

And the winner will be Scarlett. Because Adela was defeated in the original work as well. Overwhelmingly.

We will attack that part right away.

Adela is a cold-hearted merchant, but she is also an ambitious person who wants to prove herself.

“It’s the way to beat Scarlett.”

I checked Adela’s assignment that she brought with her.

Adela’s weaknesses that she personally wrote down.

‘Because their combat experience and agility are low, surprise attacks and assassinations seem to be easy.’

Both words were correct.

Battle experience, and quickness. These were both parts that I could fill in.

However, the most important part is missing.

I don’t know if he really didn’t know or if it was his last pride, but there was no mention of weapons.

I guess that’s why it got so crazy.

I left her assignment blank and headed to the dormitory.

“If you are a senior, this is the only place for burial.”

This is not just an addendum, I will teach it myself.

From noble mtl dot com

Same place, same posture, same scenery.

Everything was the same as last week in the auditorium, and no one thought it was strange.

Scarlett is probably the only one who feels uncomfortable at the beginning of this ordinary day.

Maybe it was because so much had happened last week, but those memories remained like tinnitus and made her feel uncomfortable in her ordinary daily life.

The sound of chattering students as always.

She rested her chin and looked out her window and listened.

“Did you guys finish your homework?”

“I’m almost done, but I can’t even touch one thing.”

“What is it? Ah, I think I understand. “You’re talking about Ivan, right?”

“It’s so novel that I can’t even get started. How about you guys? Are the imaginary suicides going well?”

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t submit it, right? “Will that person even check?”

Ivan’s evaluation was still at rock bottom.

It was natural.

She also didn’t think much differently from them until last week.

“Ah, the unconfirmed has gone too far. “There’s no way he could be that vicious.”

“Don’t you remember that you skipped it again last Friday?”

It’s Friday. She said she was sitting in handcuffs in an interrogation room at the time.

As I was thinking like that, it seemed like the topic in front of me had naturally changed.

“You’re the first class instructor Chris, right?”

“Yes.”

“Somehow, Meina was sitting in the front row with her.”

As they said, the first class was taught by Chris.

However, her interest was not in the instructor who was already dead.

Who will fill that void?

“Do you think that friend’s unrequited love is going well these days?”

“Well, he said we had a cup of tea together the other day.”

“What, is that all? “I thought you got engaged again.”

Such chatter was taking place throughout the entire auditorium, so there was no market.

It is not against etiquette. Because it’s not time for the lecture to start yet.

Squeak-

However, the central door of the main auditorium opened a little early.

The instructor standing there was not what everyone except Scarlett expected.

It wasn’t blonde,

He was tall enough to be neat,

The bright expression is as distant as the Empire and the Demon Continent, with pitch-black dark circles.

He’s not even handsome…. Is not it? Isn’t it? Well, leave this aside.

It was Ivan Kherson.

The sheaf of paper he was holding with both hands seemed quite burdensome to him.

At the same time, the main auditorium became quiet as if the sound had died down.

He placed a stack of papers on the center table, glanced around at the students, and then….

I said my first words.

“Let’s relax our facial expressions. “I’m afraid of being eaten.”

A situation in which the instructor who was most ignored came out during the most anticipated lecture by the instructor.

After briefly mocking the students who were unable to hide their embarrassment at the gap, Ivan gets to the main topic.

“Instructor Chris left the academy for the last time last week.”

“Yes?!”

A female student stands up like a fish jumping. It’s probably Mayna or something.

“I don’t know the details. There is no instructor other than me who knows. Well, it is said that something happened in the family, and the noble students may come into contact with her in the distant future and find out about her situation. So, Miss Mayna, your last chance as a commoner has passed. “I’m sorry.”

“Well, like that…”

“Think positively. “It is better for your health to enjoy romance between commoners and nobles only through books.”

His tone of voice, as if he was truly sorry, was enough to make the female student who woke up cry.

It’s a family name, so it’s a very appropriate and easy excuse.

“Anyway. “I decided to leave that responsibility at the academy and take over the lectures of my colleague who left unexpectedly.”

The next bombshell statement.

The students were already writhing in shock beyond embarrassment.

Just by simple calculation, it is clear that Ivan’s lecture time will be doubled.

In the end, a male student carrying a gun.

“Hey, instructor! I have a question!”

“What is it?”

“This…” . Is that the part of the story…? ?”

The attitude of handling a time bomb resulted in sentences that are difficult to understand,

All the students knew his intention.

Why you?

And the suspicion was resolved in a very neat way.

Squeak-

The central door opened again.

The person who opened the door walks in.

A female instructor with black hair who is as tall as Ivan, wears an angular uniform, and walks with an angular gait as if she were measuring with a ruler.

The sense of intimidation emanating from his pitch-black eyes was more than enough to focus the attention of all the students in the main auditorium.

Instructor Miho. The woman who came in with her fox ears perking up was also holding various documents in her hands.

Those are probably the materials left behind by Chris.

“Ivan, here are the materials Chris requested.”

“Thank you. “It was close.”

“It took some time to come together to have our own system. “It all worked out because all the instructors stuck together.”

Ivan took them and placed them on the other side of the pile of papers she had brought with her.

There were two types of stacks of paper on the central table.

Someone who barely managed to maintain his sanity shouted at Instructor Miho, who was about to turn around and leave.

“Mi, Instructor Miho! Are you really saying that Instructor Ivan will be in charge?”

When she looked back, she gave a short answer and left the main auditorium.

“Don’t worry. “It was put on the official agenda at the morning meeting, and since he was elected through a fair vote, I won’t disappoint.”

At this point, even the male student who was holding his gun sat with his mouth shut.

Even if the same words come out of Ivan’s mouth and what instructor Miho says, their weight is different.

It seemed like the students had finally realized it.

“Well, that’s right. “I’m running out of time, but in the meantime, is there anyone who wants to ask you a question?”

“Instructor, instructor. What is that stack of paper you brought with you at first? “Is this a new textbook to be distributed?”

“Oh, that’s a good question. I gave an assignment last week. The deadline for submission is this Thursday, but we have reviewed and commented on the work of students who submitted it in advance.”

“Well, that’s all the assignment?”

“Students whose names are called, please come out and take them.”

He lightly ignored the meaningless question and began calling the students’ names in a dry voice.

Students come out despite their doubts towards the paper tower, which, at first glance, appears to be twice as much as the originally submitted assignment.

They received the assignment, checked it, and returned with their faces frozen as if they had encountered some kind of monster.

“Scarlet Rain.”

Soon her name was called.

The moment she received the assignment and checked it, she knew right away.

The meaning of that expression.

The method of self-murder that most students wrote down in their assignments was approximately one line.

Scarlett was no different.

‘Understand the pattern of attack and deal with it mainly through defense and counterattack.’

You know your own fighting style best. Therefore, if you are fighting against yourself, the trajectory will seem easy and you will fight back.

It was a sentence written with exactly that kind of thought in mind.

But, there are three sheets of paper.

Except for her assignment, the two sheets of paper were filled so tightly that they could almost be described as pitch black.

In my opinion as an instructor.

This was not at the level of review or comment by anyone in the world.

Only then was she able to gain a ray of confidence in the man in front of her, Ivan Kherson.

Madman. This is not an amount that can be done with a sober mind, regardless of the intention.

Students must also be feeling similar emotions.

As he was feeling such chills, the final task was already in Ivan’s hands.

“Adela Cathy.”

“Yes, instructor.”

Adela Cathy. A female student with straight white hair went out to retrieve her assignment with light steps…

The assignment he gave her was strangely thin.

Her expression shook slightly as she accepted it.

“…Instructor, didn’t you say you reviewed and added comments?”

What was in her hand was a one-line assignment just as she had submitted it.

The last words he returned were those that surprised all the students, including Adela, twice.

“Because there is so much to add, I will come to it separately later.”
