chapter 13
13 – Archabug – 13
“This should be enough.”
He stretched out and looked at the notebook lying next to him.
20 pages of settings and weaknesses of the academy. As soon as I heard a ding-dong, I went outside.
“uh? Did you come right out today?”
“Yes, today is going to be a fun day.”
“Are you having a good day?”
Rosé puts on a puzzled expression.
I was going to have a discussion with the academy, but since I was going alone, I didn’t bother to explain.
We moved to the VIP restaurant as usual.
All around me, stories about yesterday were coming out, and rumors about me were also coming in from time to time.
‘Did you hear that yesterday?’
‘what? A dormitory terror case?’
‘No, a terrible bug came out there yesterday.’
‘Oh, is that? Ugh, just imagining it is terrifying. Why?’
‘That was actually the summoned beast that protected us.’
‘what? What’s that awful looking thing? I hate it~’
‘Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps’
I remembered all the faces of those bastards.
“Gregory?”
“hmm? Why?”
Rose suddenly called me.
Judging by the look on their faces, it seemed that they hadn’t heard their voices.
“No, it was because he suddenly had a bad expression after eating… … . Is the food strange?”
“No, the food is good. I just had a bad idea for a while.”
“is that so… … . How would you like your class today? Today, I focus on classes in the morning, and I have sparring in the afternoon.”
“I’ll be back by afternoon. We have work to do at the academy.”
“At the academy? Isn’t that dangerous?”
“It’s rather enjoyable.”
“yes! Then I’ll wait.”
After breakfast, we parted ways, and I immediately walked towards the academy president’s office.
And when I reached the floor where the president’s office was located, two people near the president’s office stopped me.
“You cannot come in without an appointment. Do you have an appointment with the president?”
Is the pattern on the badge on the chest a leader?
“I didn’t keep my promise. I just have a business.”
As I tried to get past the two who blocked me, a woman with a ponytail reached out to stop me.
“It doesn’t work though. Please make an appointment and come.”
I turned my head and looked at her.
A tightly closed mouth, sky blue eyes, a ponytail tied back and a pure white ribbon.
It was a character that is often referred to as a senior in the leadership team.
“You have no right to stop me. I came to meet the President rightfully as a victim.”
“… … victim?”
Even if I say it, it will be useless.
“transform.”
momentary flash. The expression of the leading member who saw me completed the transformation soon hardened.
ah. The antennae touched the face.
“Heee
She stepped back and was blocked by a wall. Seeing that there was nowhere to run back, she looked at me trembling.
“Everything, what the hell are you!”
Tears flowing down. I trudged over and handed her one of the arms in the middle.
“I am an academy student.”
“Heehee!”
Then, tired of incontinence, she passed out.
“… … .”
what to do with this
The feeling was so strange.
It was nice to feel that the feeling of fear obtained in this way gradually became an experience value, but it was a bit like seeing it and thinking it was scary and terrible.
“The human form is handsome, so it’s okay.”
I got up from my seat and turned my eyes to find the student I was with to clean up.
“… … Did you run away first?”
Leadership is no big deal.
He even made a transformation. Would you like to just go in like this?
After defeating the leaders, I knocked on the president’s office a couple of times.
“Yes, please come in.”
voice from within. I open the door and step inside.
“Yeah, what happened… … Hey!”
A woman who looked at me, her expression hardened in an instant, and hiccups. She was the president of this academy and the current academy’s strongest summoner, Merlin Liqueur.
“All, you… … .”
“1 Grade. I am Gregory Jones, Roger von Euglia’s summoner.”
“Yeah, that’s right. But what are you doing here?”
Whoa, seeing me from the front, is this the only reaction you get?
Light green hair and eyes reminiscent of Emerald.
The white hat worn on his head and the monocle that gave off the feeling of a scholar reminded him of being an educator.
“I came to seek reparation and compensation for what happened yesterday.”
“Compensation and compensation? Isn’t that a reward?”
The liqueur stared at me and asked if I had gotten used to it. I said without averting her gaze.
“It is compensation and compensation. Anyway, how long are you going to keep it standing?”
“… … Have a seat. Is black tea okay?”
“I don’t need a car.”
She invited me to sit on the sofa prepared for the guests. As I sit down, a liqueur sits across from me.
“If it happened yesterday, you must be referring to the first-year dormitory terrorism, right?”
“I know you well.”
“if… … The monster the rescuers talked about yesterday… … .”
I nodded and said.
“grow. After I rescued the princess and stopped Ifrit, the faculty members attacked me.”
“that… … .”
“As you can see, this is how I look. As soon as he saw it, he said he was a monster and attacked. Thanks to that, I suffered a minor wound.”
In fact, it was a wound to the heart, to say the least.
“I apologize for that. I’m really sorry.”
Unexpectedly, the president easily bowed his head to me and apologized. But, if I had intended to end it like this, I wouldn’t have come this far.
“I wouldn’t have come if I was just going to apologize and end it. We hope for reasonable compensation and compensation.”
“… … What about compensation and compensation? What do you want?”
“First, let’s talk about the reward. For freshman Roger von Euglia, we demand a full scholarship until graduation.”
“A full scholarship? that’s a bunch Only the top 1% of students are eligible for full scholarships at the academy. And you know how much our tuition is.”
Summoner Academy’s tuition for one semester is 500 gold coins. It was a level that the common people could not afford.
Of course, Rosé’s family is respected in the elven society and even manages the world tree… … However, 500 gold coins per semester was not a comfortable amount even for a rich man.
“I am the one who won the victory over Ifrit, the higher spirit. The number of summons for students who are only in the first year.”
Ifrit itself could be. Because there are students who deal with higher level spirits. However, the opponent summoner was a different opponent.
“Ifrit’s summoner was, at least, the highest-ranking summoner. Even you, the president, know that. I defeated such an enemy.”
I am speaking. Me and my summoner, Rosé, are this capable.
“Is that all? If you read section 3 of the school rules regarding the Summoner Academy Special Scholarship, you will find this.
[The academy can grant a scholarship under the authority of the president when there is a student whose exceptional talent and skills have been certified by a special case.]”
Hearing my words, she closed her eyes and started shaking her head. It reminds me of something like that.
“… … There was definitely something like that.”
“And I certified the extraordinary man in front of most of the students and staff. If you really doubt my skills, you can bring up the princess as a witness.”
“Is that the end?”
this could be the end I said with a smile.
“I want you to give me a room on the 14th floor like a student receiving a full scholarship.”
“The 14th floor is a room used by royalty and high-ranking nobles. Even a student who receives a full scholarship is impossible.”
I put my student ID in front of her saying that.
“I am a grand duke.”
Dumbly, she looks at my student ID. You are looking at the position written next to my name.
“And my summoner is a clan that manages the world tree, treated as royalty among elves, and is also a descendant of warriors. Qualification is sufficient.”
“… … You look very different from this one.”
“This is my original body. If it’s uncomfortable, I’ll return to my original body. transform.”
Returning to my human form, I sat cross-legged and looked at her. She was wearing a tired expression.
“I will accept all the conditions you just said.”
“You are wise.”
“This is the end of the talk about compensation, right?”
“Yes, the reward is. Now, let’s talk about reparations.”
I said that and raised the corner of my mouth.
I’ll show you the technique of a 21st century nylon patient.
* * *
Negotiation was my complete victory.
Before demanding compensation, I continued to appeal that I felt pain in the injured area, and without identifying friends or family, I held the attacking academy accountable.
What he requested was the opening of the academy’s secret medicine cabinet. The president shouted that it was a ridiculous proposal, but I confidently responded.
‘You mean that? Ugh, the wounds make negotiations difficult. I’m getting treatment at the best medical facility in the city.’
‘I see.’
‘If someone asks me about what happened yesterday, I’m afraid my wounds will open my mouth. I might have to explain it as it comes.’
‘… … … .’
‘The academy will pay for the treatment, right? With the best medications and treatments, you can get better. Of course, it’s still going to hurt.’
‘… … The number of elixirs that can be taken from the elixir storage is limited to one.’
‘It was a good compensation.’
It happened like this.
He probably thinks it doesn’t matter since he’s well hidden the good stuff in the apothecary.
However, I was already excited because I was planning to bring the most valuable thing there.
“ah! Gregory is here!”
Before lunchtime, when I returned to the classroom, Rosé greeted me.
“Shouldn’t we eat some rice?”
“hehehe, that’s right. By the way, did you finish the job well?”
“To my satisfaction.”
“thank god!”
“Yes, Rosé. You will be attending the academy with a full scholarship until you graduate.”
“… yes?”
“Yesterday, I, your summoner, did a great job. I got it as a reward.”
“Is that true? 500 gold per semester?”
“The president was surprisingly kind.”
I explained to Rose what had happened in the president’s office.
“and… … . Gregory. I can’t believe it. To think that the president gave in.”
Rosé looked at me as if glitter were about to pour out of her eyes. She looked away in embarrassment.
“If you keep looking at it like that, it will change.”
“Ah! That’s it!”
This is a wound like this again.
Seeing my expression, Rose shouted.
“rice! Let’s go eat! You have to eat well to fight!”
“okay.”
After lunch like that, we thought the day would end smoothly like this.
Because today, there were no guys who started a fight.
However, that was a big mistake.
“Tea, I found you, you shameless bug!”
The mannequin came.
