The Status Window Disappeared

The most common job in the academy (5)

After returning from the field training, the Royal Seidran students immediately prepared for the second exam.

When you climb one stair, the next stair unfolds immediately.

No matter how tough and exemplary students are, now they can’t hide their tiredness.

Fortunately, after the second exam, a short vacation of about two months awaits.

Most of the students at this academy are descendants of noble families, but if they stay away from the territory for a long time, there is a risk that their position within the family will be weakened too much.

Because of this, most students stop studying and go back to the manor to rest.

Chris has set his own deadline right before vacation begins.

‘Now Elga is in the mood to finish the experiment. 4 months is probably enough. If contact with the High Sword family continues during vacation, there is a possibility that my undercover identity will be discovered… … .’

Although she made a deal with the dean, she is a woman who will ruthlessly cut off her tail if it harms her.

So Chris tried to find the black flag in it.

All students are working hard to prepare for the exam.

In the meantime, the dean, who had been quiet, secretly contacted Chris.

She asks, holding out the names and titles of students and teachers in front of Chris.

“First of all, this is about the number of candidates I’ve selected, but does anyone know?”

“hmm… That’s a lot of numbers.”

A considerable number of people would be needed to conduct research on the status window, so the number of members of the Black Flag would not be small by any means.

However, the list presented by the dean was quite large even considering the circumstances.

It doesn’t seem like bullsh*t to say that this academy is full of spies.

Chris found the name of the mage theory teacher who had helped him with first aid the other day and removed it from the list.

“It won’t be this person.”

“Oh, is he on your side? Really jingling.”

“I also investigated this teacher, and there was nothing special about this student.”

Chris is reducing the suspects with the information he has been collecting.

The dean accepted the list, which was reduced by almost half, and sighed again.

“Still, the work has decreased a little.”

“Are you investigating them again?”

“No, a secret organization like this will cut off its tail and run away if it is touched hastily. So, after having enough manpower and full preparation, they catch them all at once. The investigation follows the arrest.”

Chris was very happy with her answer.

In fact, it was because he had similar thoughts that he had not been able to proceed with the investigation.

I don’t know if he’s alone, but if the queen of this academy is with me, I’ll be able to create an airtight encirclement.

“As for the number of people needed for the arrest, the dean will procure it himself, and when is the execution date?”

“You know there is an end-of-class party before the vacation after the second exam is over, right? At that time, their vigilance will be relaxed.”

Seide is a royal family where nothing is not famous, but the party here is especially famous.

An extravagant party attended by teachers and students as well as influential people in the kingdom.

Students relieve their resentment accumulated during the first semester, and outsiders headhunt future talents.

Customers come from here and there, so it was a day when the gates of the academy, which were normally firmly closed, were slightly opened.

“If we do it on the day of the party, it will be easy to bring in supplements.”

“yes. So don’t be too lazy on the day of the party.”

The dean kicked Chris out of the office as soon as he finished speaking.

Thanks to her cooperation, Chris was able to prepare for the second exam more comfortably.

Now completely melted between Chris and Illesis, Rosefeld kept an eye on Chris ahead of the second exam.

“I don’t know how to write, but the practical skills are almost perfect. If I do this wrong, I might lose… … .”

“I think I’m in good shape these days.”

Chris answered lightly and guessed the answer to the paper test.

He is confident in his practical skills in magic, and he has more experience than his classmates.

Although he had been using spells in a more difficult way because he couldn’t use his magic, it was rather a good study.

Illesis, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, muttered in an anguished voice for a moment.

“Do I have to lose again… … .”

“what?”

“Nothing. Oh, Mr. Rosefeld. Wrong there.”

“… … .”

Rosefeld, who was silent for a moment at Illesis’ point, quickly corrected his formula.

Then he looks at Chris and her again and asks.

“But why do you two keep using honorific words for me?”

“You know you have to ask that.”

When Chris joked back, Rosefeld took a deep breath.

She took a few deep breaths before speaking cautiously.

“Then, from now on, talk to me comfortably.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

As the two of them spoke casually, as if they had waited, Rosefeld’s face became strange.

However, the atmosphere that had been frozen for a while soon returned to its original state.

It’s not like yesterday or today that they became close, so there’s nothing too strange about it.

Chris didn’t miss the opportunity to ask her the question she had been saving.

It seemed that now that she had opened up to him, she would respond.

“Then why am I your fiancée? Seidran’s second princess must have a more attractive wedding venue.”

It was a bit sensitive topic, but Chris’ attitude was light, so it was easy to answer.

Rosefeld pondered for a while, then carefully selected the words and spat them out.

“Ah, there is a reason… Actually, my engagement to you was a kind of threat.”

“A threat?”

It was Elesis who reacted more sensitively to her answer than Chris.

Of course, Chris wasn’t technically the party, either.

Rosefeld nodded and began to explain in detail.

“It wasn’t yesterday or today that I turned down an arranged marriage. The wedding talk itself started when I was 8 years old, but I messed up every time… … .”

“Ah, I see what you mean.”

The king wanted to get Rosefeld married early, but when she kept breaking up the marriage conversation, he got angry.

The following is a story that Chris knows relatively well.

“That’s why the key condition is to graduate from this academy at the top of the class. If you become the top graduate of the academy, you can become a teacher and take over the position of dean, so there is no need to get married.”

“Come to think of it, the dean is also single.”

Illesis recalled the dean and admired it again.

Rosefeld followed the precedent of being the dean and tried to avoid an arranged marriage.

At that time, what was put up like a threat was probably the engagement with Raiden.

Chris, stunned, let out his honest thoughts.

“If you don’t graduate at the top of your class, know how to marry the mediocre second son of the frontier lord. What is this?”

“Not just a change lord, but a change lord.”

When Illesis started arguing in a strange place, Rosefeld gave a small nod as if embarrassed.

If the marriage was decided in this way, Chris or Elgar’s maids might not have known about it.

It was not decided through discussion among noble families, but by the king’s own decision… … .

Rosefeld, embarrassed for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

“I’m sorry that I seemed surprised. I didn’t know that the decision was made without any discussion.”

“It’s already past, what?”

Chris, who was not the person involved, didn’t care much and just laughed it off.

It was easier to keep up with the progress, perhaps because Ilesis, the best gifted student in the year, and Rosefeld, the second best student, were studying together.

Chris was able to confidently take the second test that soon followed.

Time at the academy flew by as soon as a specific plan was made to arrest the black flag.

The day the second exam finally ends.

Three people, including Chris, were able to put their names on the scoreboard side by side.

The first place was Elesis as before, and the second place was Rosefeld.

Chris took third place by a close margin.

Looking up at the bulletin board, he clapped slowly and softly and muttered woefully.

“I think I did almost everything well except for the magic note, but I can’t beat the main subject with high points.”

“Even though it is an academy that values practical skills, writing has a big impact on magic… … .”

Illesis smiled, comforting Chris, who wasn’t too heartbroken.

Most of the students who would fail were after being filtered out in the first exam, so the atmosphere of the first graders was not that heavy compared to before.

Students who sighed and sighed in front of their report cards were preparing for the next class before long.

It’s right after the exam, so you could say what kind of class it is.

However, this class is a special lecture by necessity, just like horseback riding.

Of course, there will be a party to celebrate the end of the class soon, but isn’t it impossible to participate in the party if you can’t dance?

Because of this, almost all students willingly participated in the dance class.

The auditorium, which had been empty since the entrance ceremony, had turned into a dance hall with slow music playing.

Chris clucked his tongue when he saw the court musicians who were rehearsing for the end-of-class party and helping students with their lessons.

Everything in this academy is so luxurious.

Fortunately for Chris, the party dance wasn’t too difficult.

Because parties are not that common in this world.

In order to have a party, there must be a lot of wealthy nobles in the capital, but rich lords couldn’t come up to the capital leaving their comfortable and warm homes.

Because of this situation, quite a few countries can’t have a party.

Even if it did, it would be at the level of a small banquet, not what modern people usually think of.

Thanks to this, the royal party of Saydran was very famous among the neighboring countries.

Far away, unless you go to the ‘Breton Empire’, it’s hard to find a proper party other than here.

Due to one reason or another, almost all first-year students were very bad at dancing.

Of course, there are exceptions everywhere.

Chris saw Rosefeld’s proficient dancing skills and whispered to Illesis.

“As expected, the daughter of the same house must be different.”

“I know.”

“I was forced to learn because marriage talks kept coming in… … .”

Rosefeld frowned and took Illesis’ hand and led her.

Even for the same nobles, the gap between rich and poor was vast, so Illesis was almost blind to dancing.

Illesis frowned as Chris laughed at her awkward gesture.

“Raiden! You can’t dance well either.”

“That’s right.”

Chris was disguised as a so-called ‘child from a family’, but since his family name is his name, he doesn’t get much glare even if he can’t dance.

“High Sword often goes to banquets in the royal palace, but doesn’t it learn to dance?”

“The last time I saw it, things like camping and swordsmanship were awesome. If you learn something like that, will you have time to master the dance-like catch?”

If you believe in the value of the name of the high sword and hold the weight roughly while making a solemn expression, the surroundings will misunderstand you.

At this point, Elgar’s choice seemed like a divine move.

Chris was sitting on his chin, not thinking about anything, when Rosefeld, who had completed Illesis’ training, quickly reached out his hand.

“Don’t stay still and come out.”

“Wait, Raiden is a man, can I learn from you?”

When Illesis huffed and strangled her ankle, Rosefeld smiled mischievously and shook her head.

“I can lead even when the opponent is not used to dancing. Originally, dancing means knowing the movements of the other person so that you can dance. Now, strain your back.”

Chris entrusted himself to her lead, recalling the black flag sweeping operation that was right around him.

When this work is over, Illesis and Rosefeld will become strangers.

Maybe you will find out his identity and shudder at the sense of betrayal.

Chris, realizing his guilt belatedly, kept moving stiffly.

Rosefeldt thought he was nervous, so he sighed and continued dancing.
