I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

is literally a city of gathered schools, but ironically… it wasn’t particularly an environment conducive to studying intensively.

That’s because the world I know is—

‘An otaku game made to watch high school girls having fun, not a real high school student raising game.’

The academy city always in a state of chaos.

Whether from the game system, parts mentioned in the story, or what I’ve felt actually living here… no matter how I look at it, this neighborhood wasn’t made for studying. There was an atmosphere good for making memories other than studying, whether in a good or bad sense.

‘To begin with, the reason this academy city was created wasn’t particularly to raise model students either…’

Memories shared with friends under the clear sky.

Adventures that make your heart pound and training that makes you stronger.

In this city overflowing with open-world content from the moment you step out of the school gate, studying is really a losing proposition.

That’s why I couldn’t understand Alvit, who cares about grades in the name of ‘student duty’ both in the main story and now.

Well…

Because I’m in a special situation in many ways.

It’s also because I don’t think about what happens after graduation.

‘There’s no one to send report cards to for Clara who was an orphan to begin with… and I don’t have time to worry about the outside world until defeating the main story boss anyway.’

With those thoughts in mind, I looked at the delinquent student caught in my arm triangle choke. She was struggling with all her might to escape, mouth gaping.

“Hnnng…! H-Help… me…! I won’t come again…! Please…!”

“Oopupupu—! What do you take a lady for! I won’t kill you~☆”

“Hnng… uuugh…! Urgh…!”

Struggle struggle

‘I’ve never seen this face even though I’ve been here since 1st year, are they students who flowed in from elsewhere?’

The delinquent student in panic, drooling.

I didn’t particularly apply the technique with the intention of making her faint or die… but she was so terrified it was embarrassing for the one who applied the technique.

“…Urgh.”

“Mmph…”

Shadows revealed in the faint dawn moonlight.

Her dozens of comrades were also quietly knocked out after receiving my submission techniques. It was a scene of gifting chops and drop kicks to children climbing over the school fence.

‘What’s going on at dawn? I haven’t seen attacks from delinquent students for a while… Hmm, I should put them to sleep properly and send them back.’

Illegal trespassing is a serious crime in .

This level of response was practically a housewarming.

If I brought tea and macarons here, it would be no different from entertaining guests.

Suddenly.

I laughed at how soft my heart had become.

‘In my [Pink Spiral] days, I would have fired [Red Flower Dazzling] without thinking… Is it because I have more relationships now? I’ve come to just use submission techniques because I feel sorry for them.’

Truly benevolence and righteousness.

Senior Frida would surely be proud if she saw me now. Isn’t this the mercy of the spiral?

‘Oh right, I should reassure her first.’

I loosened the strength of the arm choking her neck slightly and spoke to the delinquent student in the kindest tone possible:

“Huhu—☆ Is this your first time in a joint lock? Breathe, breathe! Hup! Hup! Like this!”

“Hup… hup…!”

“That’s right, that’s right—☆ Well done~”

I patted the head of the cute robber girl with green dyed hair. Perhaps because she hadn’t washed for a long time, a rich smell wafted from her… but I didn’t particularly blame her.

Wasn’t it just last month that I made Freya cry by joking about her dirty appearance? Humans are beings that progress by learning from mistakes.

‘In the end, after various twists and turns, I became close friends with Freya, but. She seems busy lately due to the chaotic school situation, so I haven’t been able to call often…’

Among the 300 or so noble faction students belonging to Frau’s direct forces out of the several thousand enrolled in . They ended up leaving the academy city as ordinary people in exchange for offering their [Fate].

‘Though they’re only a part of the total students, the problem is that they’re the top 300… I heard even ’s position as a noble school might collapse.’

Actually, I don’t know much about the power dynamics between prestigious schools, so I just accepted it. But I heard there’s still ongoing chaos shaking the order of Golden Street in its own way.

The remnants of the noble faction who rejected the snake tattoo.

Ordinary students who fled from a fight unrelated to their will.

The research faction busy researching newly discovered magic.

Golden Street bustling with dealing with the aftermath of numerous students.

Unlike the surrounding schools watching from across the river, Hilde told me the center of is in a very complicated situation.

‘She said is maintaining this much order thanks to Freya enduring for the sake of her school…’

Freya’s dedication, who despaired at [Fate] but eventually stood up again.

“…”

I recalled her and looked again at the delinquent student caught in my hand.

“…”

“Hnng…!”

This green-haired delinquent student must also be a skylark that left its cage in search of freedom more important than final exams.

‘Don’t tease her, be as kind as possible…’

I continued patting the green delinquent girl and said:

“You think it’s a waste to spend your teens just studying too, right? Yes♪ I wonder if I’m the only one who thinks that…☆ A free-spirited girl who would enter someone else’s school seems like she’d agree with me♡”

“Heheh…! That’s right…! Senior, you’re…! A hundred times correct…!”

“Yes! Well done! But☆ Freedom is good, but is it okay to enter someone else’s school as you please? Or not?”

She shouted with all her might:

“It’s not okay!! Never!! I’ll absolutely never enter again!!”

“Very good☆ Now go to sleep—♪ Have sweet dreams☆”

“…Huh?”

I lightly applied strength to my arm and compressed her carotid artery. Thanks to delicate strength control combined with ether manipulation, she struggled for a moment then quieted down.

“…”

I laid the limp green-haired girl next to her friends, brought a large tarp from the storage, and covered them with it.

“Mmnya…”

“Umm…”

The dirty children sleeping soundly looked cute like babies. Still, in case they suddenly woke up and ran amok, I gently rolled the tarp to make them like kimbap.

Roll roll roll—

About 30 delinquent students became shaped like a large kimbap roll. And the dawn gradually brightening beyond the horizon embraced that majestic sight.

A shining giant kimbap.

A majestic appearance as if brushed with sesame oil.

I smiled bitterly while patting the heads of the children inside the giant kimbap. They were still sleeping obliviously.

“Whew—☆ It’s an awkward time to go back to sleep now♪”

In the end…

I spent time doing some light stretching or checking my body condition, which had now recovered enough to casually use even [Wave Ether]… [Blue Sweet Macaron].

“…”

And suddenly I remembered something I had forgotten.

That today was the last exam of the semester… final exam day.

“Ah, I didn’t prepare for finals at all—☆”

…

Well, what does it matter.

There are many things more important than studying in this world.

“…Mm♪”

Heroes don’t study…☆

* * *

Together with Alvit who woke up at dawn, we disassembled and sent back the kimbap made of delinquent students. Then after washing up and changing clothes, we headed to where the final exam venue was.

At the administrative office designated as the final exam venue. There was a noticeable newsletter posted there.

[The tragedy in Golden Street… Is the United Student Council President responsible?]

[ finally gaining complete initiative, what will their course of action be…]

[ announcement, “Each school’s festival during summer vacation will operate normally according to discretion…”]

“…”

“Senior!”

A hand grabbing my shoulder as I was looking at the newsletter for a while.

It was Alvit, who still hadn’t given up her passion for studies.

“Senior, we need to go in now. You’re not thinking of giving up even the exam, right?”

“Ahaha…☆ Heroes don’t study…☆”

“What are you saying! The Witch studied hard too!”

I bit Rota’s cat ear as she said mean things. I rolled my tongue on her pink earlobe, saying alalale while patting her.

“Yes~☆ I see! Elelele, om nom nom…”

“Uwoook—?! Ook—?!”

Rota making the kind of sound a girl shouldn’t make.

Alvit frantically tried to stop me. She waved her hands trying to quickly separate me and Rota.

“Stop it, Senior!! Everyone’s looking!!”

“Huhu, isn’t this also a kind of revolution in perception of public spaces?”

“What nonsense are you spouting now!!”

In the end, unable to resist Alvit’s nagging, Kara carried Rota who was still twitching her hands.

Like that, we entered rooms assigned differently for each grade and received exam papers.

Entering a spacious room, there were students who came to complete the final exam process like . Unfamiliar uniforms even to me, a native of the eastern region. They seemed to be students from small schools.

The nervous breathing of tense students.

I smiled wryly while writing my name on the exam paper. The white was paper, and the black was writing. In short, I couldn’t understand anything.

‘…So this is my last 1st semester academic activity.’

I quickly moved my pen to write the contents and submitted the exam paper to the dwarf administrative staff. Then I stretched right there.

“Yes, perfect—☆”

Of course, I just guessed everything.

Within 5 minutes of entering the exam venue, I only wrote my name on all subject exam papers and submitted first.

Even in which is negligent about academics, this was quite an extraordinary act.

“…!”

“…!”

Receiving amazed looks from 3rd year students from other schools taking the exam in the same room, I came out to the hallway proudly like a hero.

Snap!

I silently gave them a thumbs up and walked towards the dazzling light.

* * *

“…”

But I came out too early.

Surprisingly, my juniors seemed to be taking the exam properly.

‘My goodness, even revolution-obsessed Kara? Am I really the only one who gave up on studying?’

It’s amazing.

Is it because they’re main story protagonists?

“…”

In the end, I sat on a nearby bench and blankly observed passing students and dwarves.

When I activate my perception ability and watch the street, the flow of the crowd feels like waves. I spent time blankly watching those numerous waves like that.

“…?”

For some reason, a familiar presence approached from the wave of crowds. But perhaps due to the aftereffects of zoning out, I maintained my gaze, too lazy to look up and act like I knew them first.

“Oh? [Spiral]?”

“…?”

Who is it.

Who called me [Spiral]?

When I raised my head and looked…

There was Eir, who had become dirty, waving her hand. Even in this hot summer, she was maintaining her black mask and black coat outfit.

“Long time no see.”

“Long time…☆”

But aren’t you hot?
