(EP-27.1) Academy Spring Season #2

027 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #2

“Have you checked everything? If so, check it all again.”

I ordered the workers to make a final inspection in order to ensure that nothing was missing.

Today was the first day of travelling to the Church’s lands.

If there was something missing, it would be difficult to find a replacement in that foreign land. Hence, the necessities must be closely monitored.

“Hey!”

Someone then smacked me on the back.

If I didn’t manage to hold myself up in time, I would’ve fallen. Turning my head around, I saw a blonde bun shining under the sunlight.

“Hey, Theo, why do you keep doing this? It’s almost time to leave.”

Elga’s blue eyes bore into me in an accusatory manner.

“… What is it Elga-nim?”

“I’ve already called you several times. In fact, for the past few days, you can’t seem to concentrate at all! You always look so anxious, like someone trying to hide something. Also….”

Elga seemed to have more to say. However, she decided to shut her mouth.

Speaking of which, did I actually look anxious?

Was it Elga’s intuition?

Well, I was indeed suffering from quite a few headaches.

It was me who made Aira go to the Academy to change the story. Yet, I felt that this would be the least of my problems now.

I simply couldn’t calm myself down after finding out that Theo Gospel was a descendant of the Demon King Angmar, and not just a minor villain character.

My legs kept trembling as I got dizzier and dizzier.

What if my identity was discovered?

No, let’s calm down for now.

If I became too paranoid, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

Huuuu.

I cleared my mind and took a deep breath.

In order to solve multiple problems, you would need to set priorities and deal with them one by one, not all together.

“So, is Elga-nim okay with this?”

“Huh? What about me? It was just a little confession…”

“No, not that. I’m talking about entering the Ark Academy. Weren’t you skeptical of entering?”

“Ah, that… Of course I knew you were talking about that… Anyway, what’s wrong with it? It’s just a place where everyone lives, right? There might be some annoying punks, but-.”

Seureung-

Elga pulled out the giant halberd behind her back and lifted it high into the sky. How could she hold such a heavy thing so easily? It didn’t make any sense…

“It’s not like we won’t be able to handle it, right?”

“I guess so…”

Seuk-

While giving a half-hearted answer, I opened my slender eyes and activated my talent《Farsight》.

Name: Elga Von Lioness lv. ??

Job: Young Lady lv. 5

Executioner lv. 8

Knightess lv. 9

Strategist lv. 7

[Locked] lv. ?

Talent: 《Passionate Thinking》 《Free-Spirited》

Inclination: Chaotic-Neutral.

She is the eldest daughter of a great family whose fame could stop crying children.

She hates stuffiness and likes to get physically involved.

She often hears that she’s unlike a noble lady, and although it may not show on the surface, she secretly cares about it.

[Locked]

[Locked]

Quite a few of her information were locked.

Plus, there were question marks next to her overall level.

However, just by looking at the revealed parts, one could see how great Elga was.

The average level of her Executioner, Knightess and Strategist jobs were at least level 7 or 8.

“What, I feel weird all of a sudden…”

Seeing Elga’s frown, I decided to stop looking at her stats. Meanwhile, Elga hung her halberd behind her back again.

“So, when are we leaving? I’m dying of boredom here. Are there any Barbarians there? I feel like fighting some!”

She then jumped on a nearby horse and started circling around.

Seeing her riding the horse so skillfully, combined with the information I had just seen, I said.

“Your horse riding skills are top-tier, truly befitting of a noble lady!”

“Heh, isn’t this a matter of course for the eldest daughter of the Lioness Family?”

Elga snorted as if it was natural, but I was distracted by the new words floating in the air.

「You have successfully seduced your enemy!

Gained job experience for ‘Casanova’. + 5」

So Casanova wasis like this.

However, only 5 experience points came in.

Was the amount of experience gained different depending on performance or intensity?

I seriously considered saying something like “You are really beautiful today” to Elga.

But when a dark-haired woman started to approach from afar, with clear sounds of footsteps, I decided against it.

“The weather is nice.”

Queen Aira slowly emerged under the warm sunlight.

Her figure was so bright and dazzling that she wouldn’t lose out to the sunshine or the flowers around her. As she walked, spectators held their breath at this beautiful scene.

The surrounding sycophants then said to Aira.

“My Queen, you are so beautiful today. Hehe-“

“The spring sun and flowers lose their light in Aira-nim’s brilliance.”

“Heung-“

Aira simply snorted at the empty flatteries.

I also reflected on the fact that I was going to say something similar to Elga.

No matter how much I wanted to experiment with experience points, it was a little too much to say things like what I just thought….

Ttogak, ttogak.

Finally, Aira reached where her belongings were packed. As always, her gaze remained languid. She then turned her head and looked into my eyes.

“It’s been a while, Theo.”

“Yes, my Queen.”

“Are you done with all the problems you have to deal with? People said that you were busy because of the laws on monster rights and had to confine yourself in your office.”

“Yes, that’s correct. Thanks to that, I was unable to sleep for the past week and had to work all night.”

“I see. I thought you were avoiding me on purpose…”

Those words sent a chill down my back. To be honest, avoiding Aira was indeed one of the reasons.
