There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 49

18. Uh, it’s not like this (3)

After the first club meeting, which was noisy in many ways, me and George went back to Arthur’s school alone.

There was something I had left behind at the principal because I couldn’t take it, and he willingly offered to go with me.

Oh yeah… … Through George, I feel deeply that first impressions are not everything.

The guy who was so unlucky the first time I saw him was transformed like this and became a new person.

Now that I think about it, I think it was just because I had no experience.

In his home country, the Grand Duchy of Carpet, he would have been admired by everyone as a genius of the century.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that the environment makes a person.

“Then when exactly is the Triad held?”

Eventually, the name was decided on the Triad. It was because there was not a criminal organization of the same name in the background of Paradise Island, and it did not appear to be a major problem.

“That’s going to have to be rescheduled, but it’ll probably come out exactly in a month or so.”

As the board grew that much, it was not something our club could decide on its own.

It had to be linked with other clubs, and the budget of the student council and cooperation of the faculty had to be made.

Even if the dean’s permission is granted, there is still a long way to go.

“That’s right. Because it’s big.”

“It feels very positive in Arthur’s Faculty, and the reaction from other faculties isn’t too bad. I think the progress will go smoothly. I decided to actively cooperate with Geumgangmun.”

In fact, there was absolutely no reason to refuse from the position of Geumgangmun.

After all, the fact that there are a lot of students coming in to be a classmate, and the more often you are exposed to the outside, the more you grow.

There must be a lot to gain by becoming the official sponsor of this tournament in many ways.

‘This is sponsored.’

Then, suddenly, a strange aura that I had felt in George a few days ago came to mind.

At the same time, I was very used to it.

“But George, you? Have you ever signed a contract with a spirit?”

“What!? How did you know that?”

“No, you have to hide what you want to hide. This class knows how to handle interests freely, so it can read your mind.”

“This child, you…”

As he responds skillfully, George looks at him suspiciously. The look was so funny, I shrugged lightly and added.

“Of course. Because I’m a contractor too.”

“Damn, I thought we were a bit more equal now!”

As if in anger, George stomped his feet.

I think he was going to catch up with me by signing a contract with a spirit, but it’s not too late until he throws away the rapier.

“What rank are you?”

“He’s a three-star wind spirit. His name is Ceylon.”

As Fencer (Three Swordsman) is my main job, I thought it would fit best with the Wind Spirit, but it seems like I chose it well without saying anything.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a 3 Star Lightning Spirit.”

I said so and snapped my fingers. Pachit, and yellow sparks pop out.

“Actually, the elements suitable for a general swordsman are lightning and fire. How did you choose well?”

“But I’m glad we have the same character. I thought you would definitely sign a contract with the 4th Star Spirit.”

For a moment, it was hot, but I didn’t care.

There is no need to further hide the fact that you are a Elemental Contractor, but the fact that the Elemental you signed is a Lion is a different matter.

‘I never dreamed that the honey badger was the spirit of Arthur Bradamante, one of the five heroes.’

Lioner’s status was greater than expected.

Artel, whose tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, has recently realized that the name is also used in folklore.

-There are a total of 8 objects of the 4 Stars, that is, the Great Spirits mentioned in the history books. And the best among them is the thunder spirit Lioner.

As soon as those words came out of Professor Bled’s mouth, my stance seemed to have been perfectly determined.

To be honest, it hurts my head in many ways.

That was my conclusion.

“Somehow, he suddenly said that he was learning alchemy. Was it because of the spirit ceremony?”

“No, it’s not just about that…”

Who would have guessed that the missing element was modified, and a spirit would come out of nowhere? I was really lucky to have been caught.

If the setting was that the spirits would eat minerals and other things, the maintenance cost would have been prohibitive.

… … Looking at what Lioner eats, it’s not like it’s an alchemy material, so it’s not cheap.

【What do you mean by saying I eat a lot now? Among the proverbs of humans, there is a saying that Mt. Geumgang is also called after meals. Don’t say anything about what you eat!]

‘But it’s a fact to eat only high-quality stuff.’

【I can’t deny that.】

I got used to it as soon as I got used to it.

“But then, do you have any leftovers for the Spirit Ceremony? I’ll pay the price, so please share some.”

“If it’s a 3 star anyway, wouldn’t it require such a high-quality material?”

“The medicinal herb is too far away from the dormitory. It’s an area I can’t always stock up on…”

That’s not another problem.

It was also the reason why I bought the storage box furniture with a big heart.

If you do not go through special processing, the alchemy material gradually loses its medicinal effect over time.

Naturally, there are few nutrients, so no matter how expensive the materials are, they become worthless garbage as a spirit.

“Yeah, I’ll pick some B-grade ingredients and give them to you tomorrow.”

“Wow, really? Thank you! How much will you sell it for?”

“What are you buying? I have some left over. Just take it.”

“George Madelain, the slave of the Baeksan Cattle, shows his head as a sign of obedience. A-men!!”

George bows his head and shows the crown of his head. I nodded and adjusted to his rhythm.

“Okay, okay, you know.”

When I open the door to the classroom like that, I see quite a few students remaining studying or doing homework.

Compared to modern universities, the level of assignments is not that strict, but it is still enough to make students suffer.

In particular, in the case of a class that consists of ‘100% theory’, such as history or textbook research, rather than combat, the difficulty of the task is so bad that it evokes a nightmare from college days.

Not wanting to get in the way, I carefully retrieved the battle gloves that had been left in my seat and quickly exited the classroom.

“What, did you leave the combat gloves behind? Did you just come and take them tomorrow? Who said they would?”

“I’m afraid the cleaners will throw it away.”

“Um… it looks like that old rag.”

These were the gloves I had been wearing since I was in school. Since it was an item that was worn every time in Dalian, it was full of leather.

There is also a hole in the inside, so if you hit your wrist properly in Dalian, the shock is transmitted as it is.

“I have to change this slowly too.”

“I don’t have a new one in a while, would you like to buy it?”

“Okay. It’s better to have it on hand so far. And I’m planning to buy it separately for practical use anyway.”

This is only equipment for fighting to the end.

In order to run the dungeon while conducting full-scale club activities in the future, higher-grade equipment was required.

At least, like the sword I am wearing, the Ars Longa Steel Sword, it should be of a rare grade to be useful.

Depending on the performance, the price of equipment tends to skyrocket, so it was a little bit like asking George first.

“Now let’s go home.”

I must have retrieved the gloves too, when I turned around and went back to the dormitory.

“Oh, isn’t it Baeksanwoo candidate?”

Professor Isabella, the protagonist of her slender voice, smiled and waved her hand.

“Hey, Professor Isabella?”

“George was there too. It seems you two got along quite well, hoo-hoo.”

She had shown me a few favors after the last battle with Bernax, so I remembered her name with certainty.

“Did you stay and do your homework? It’s nice to see you working hard.”

“Ah yes.”

Even though I didn’t say anything, it popped up like that first, so there’s no need to correct it.

“I heard from Dean Irkhan. You said you were holding an inter-academic tournament-type competition?”

“Have the rumors been that way already?”

“You should not underestimate the information skills of the professors. We know all the information that Sanwoo students do not yet know.”

Isabella added with a round smile.

“In my personal opinion, I’m totally in favor of it. To be able to compete against students from other faculties… it’s so romantic!”

In fact, Bled said that most of the professors’ opinions were not bad.

No matter how much the dean is on my side, the actual leaders in the field are the professors. If the professors opposed the event, things could not go back easily.

In that respect, Professor Isabella Leona’s expression of support was quite valuable.

“Oh, come to think of it, Professor Isabella wasn’t in charge of the third year?”

“Right.”

“Are your 3rd grade seniors willing to participate?”

“Of course. Even if you don’t know it yet, they’re all friends full of passion.”

Isabella’s lips raised up. It seems like he cares about my students.

‘In the main story, he was the person who defended Bernax’s corruption until the end. In the end, you will see the end with your own hands.’

So, I thought that there would be no talented person like Isabella to encourage Bernax to participate in the Triad.

There’s no way you can just ignore the active recommendation of the professor in charge of you.

In the beginning, the wind should blow in advance, and it will come over easily later.

Of course, personal work will also be included.

“The 3rd grade seniors are great people. Last time I played against Bernax senior, I learned a lot.”

“Bernax is a strong student, but he’s a kid I’ve been raising since my first year.”

The professor rubs my chest with one hand to see if he is proud.

“Professor Isabella is also amazing. When it comes to choosing the strongest man in the Grand Duchy of Carpet, he is always mentioned.”

Although I didn’t do it separately, George’s support fire came in appropriately.

“Oh, I didn’t have to speak so loudly. Hohoho~.”

Isabella, who has entered a pleasant state, smiles brightly. The octave of the voice has risen even higher.

“Baek San-woo candidate is also great! Don’t worry, I’ll tell our 3rd grade seniors well.”

“Thank you, Professor! I’m looking forward to it!”

It seems to have been successful to score.

With this, we have secured one important attracting member!

Of course, I would have to personally visit and recommend participation, but if I approached it for nothing, it was obvious that it would only add to the burden.

For now, this is just right.

‘Then what’s left is Aidan? Well, if you ask me, I’ll do it right away, so there’s no need to move.’

In fact, I don’t know what the outcome of the Triad will be.

The only important thing right now is to make a confrontation between Aidan and Bernax.

Therefore, the goal was to bring out Aidan’s ability and preserve the love affair of the story.

Now I have a rough outline. Until then, can I just ride the infinite johnver?

* * *

It has already been three days as of today. After completing his contract with Grundel, Aidan lived almost exclusively in Ortana’s Grand Library.

“Isn’t that too much?”

Looking at him like that, his childhood friend Karin Ophilus said in a worried voice.

She has been with Aidan since she entered Paradise School. As such, he was more sensitive to Aidan’s changes than anyone else.

“It’s okay. Not yet.”

Aidan rubbed his tired eyes and tried to answer.

He continued to roam the library, looking for some documents.

Even if you ask what it is, the only answer that comes back is ‘it’s difficult to tell right now’, which I don’t know in English.

If I had asked myself for help, I would have helped even if I had set everything aside… … .

Sadly, there was no sign of that.

“Neither this nor this… nor this…”

Aidan continued to sort through the piles of books piled up like a tower.

The moment when Karin, who couldn’t stand it, was about to tell her to take a break.

“……found!!!!”

Aidan raised the book and shouted. All eyes of the library, which had been quiet, gathered together, and Karin dazed Aidan.

“Aidan! Quiet! Quiet!!!”

“Now is not the time! Karin! Look at this, I finally found it! The person’s identity!!”

that person?

I’m not sure who she was talking about, but she checked the cover of the book he was holding.

There it was written:

[Noble Heroic Spirit. God’s representative, player]
