How to Survive at the Academy-Chapter 214
King of dungeons (2)
During the Crestor Festival, outsiders are allowed to enter Aken Island and inside the school.
However, there are not many people who would come to Aken Island, which is embedded in the southwestern edge of the Empire, to see the Bachelor’s Festival. Most of the people of the Empire are busy with their own livelihoods, so they only enjoy their own festivals in their respective places of residence.
In addition, this is a time when the entire Chloel Empire falls into the bliss of the festival, but of course the heat differs depending on the region.
The countryside like Pulan, the hometown of Yenica, is so remote that the heat of the festival doesn’t reach properly.
Still, as this Sylvania Academy, where young people are gathered, is a place where festivals are held in a grand way, those who wish to have some spare time among the imperial people near the Jahul frontier tend to gather.
I’m used to living in Sylvania every day, so it doesn’t feel real, but at least in the southern part of the Chlo?l Empire, there is no landmark like this school. If you can’t afford to go directly to the distant equator, it’s not a bad idea to set up a festive atmosphere at this Sylvanian Academy.
Of course, all of this is limited to those who can afford to enjoy the festival.
So, most of the visitors are wealthy, aristocrats, or families who have sent students to the Sylvania Academy.
“Thank you for visiting Sylvania. The visitor accommodation is located in the Dex Hall, so you can leave your luggage there. You can get detailed information from Melik, the manager of the dormitory, and if you go to the outside of the school building and the part facing the living building, there will be an information board.”

“Huh, go… thank you.”
Orte Palerover came down to the pier and took his wife, Seyla, who followed him.
It’s a ranch job where you can’t take a day off. Their daughter, Jenica Palerover, would never have imagined that the couple would have made it all the way to Arken Island.
The couple would not have made their trip to the faraway Aken Island if the loving villagers of Torren had not been able to help the couple maintain their ranch while they were away.
It’s the festival period, so outsiders are allowed in, and it’s time to check the facts about the letters that have been flying to the ranch lately.
If Yenica Palerover became a nobleman by ascending to the baron post, as a parent, there is no other way than to meet and check it out in person.
It’s just the right time to enter Aken Island… With a big heart, I ran to Aken Island.
“Where is the… Ophelis Hall? That… student…? Are you a student?”
“You can call me at your convenience. I am Ziggs Eiffelstein, Senior Action Member of the Student Council. Right now, I am in charge of guiding outside visitors at the marina, but besides me, if you visit the student council member of the student council, you will be able to receive various guidance.”
Ziggs, who was standing near the wharf and checking papers, turned his head when he saw the Failovers and pointed to the inside of the bachelor.
“Most of the facilities are available if you go to the faculty or living quarters, but… The Ophelis Hall is strictly forbidden from outsiders. This is because it is a place frequented by distinguished guests and has a strong exclusive atmosphere. Do you have any business for the Ophelis Hall?”
“Umm… my daughter lives there…”
Jenica Palerover did not tell her family that she was expelled from the Ophelis and living in a hut in the woods. Because I didn’t want to cause any worries.
The Palerovers, who knew that Yenika was still living in the Ophelis Hall, wanted to go there to meet Yenika.
“Hmm… Now I am living in the L’Orail Building due to circumstances, but I used to live in the Ophelis Building for a long time. If you tell me your child’s name, I will contact the Ophelis Hall.”
“Oh, oh… Yenica Palerover is called… a good kid, and famous for being the top grader several times… I… I said…”
“…you mean Yenika-senpai?”
Ziggs, who was writing the letters, stopped for a moment.
“Hmm… we’re pretty close. It’s a coincidence.”
“Oh, you know our Yenika?”
“Yes. You are a good person. I was involved in a lot of things.”
At that moment, Orte’s eyes, who were looking at Ziggs, began to shine.
Giggs, who looks reliable and neat, seems like the best husband-in-law to two people who have lived in the countryside for a long time.
No matter who they are, they are a couple who need someone special in their hands. As much as I am thirsty for a son-in-law, when I see a man who is close to Yenica, the corners of my eyes go up.
Ortega, who grabbed Ziggs’s hands, spoke with a gleam in her eyes.
“Is the student very close with Yenika…?!”
“…Yes?”
“Our Yenika is very kind and okay, isn’t it?! How was it that we became friends…?!”
Ziggs looked at Orte with bewildered eyes.
“Hey, is it all of a sudden…?”
“Why, our Yenika isn’t the kind of person who’s going to go somewhere?!”
“I am grateful for your kind consideration, but I have another person who can be called a lover. In the first place, I can’t even see Yenika-senpai.”
“Is that so…? Yenika is in a position where she can choose a man in this school…!”
“It is very strange to express it that way, but there are certainly many people who admire Yenica-senpai. He has a good personality, his skills are outstanding, and he has a beautiful appearance, so he speaks of many of his juniors…”
What more to say here, Jigs shut his mouth.
Talking more about Yenika’s personal relationship was most likely just a hoax. Because I don’t know how far Yenika’s family talks about her bachelor’s life.
Judging from the atmosphere, it seems that he was hiding the fact that he was kicked out of the Ophelis Hall, so if Ziggs made fun of him for nothing, it seemed that Yenica would be in trouble.
“I see… our Yenika…! Whoops… Whoops, whoops, whoops…”
Looking at Orte’s satisfied expression, I just decided that it would be better to just do this. There are no parents who dislike complimenting their daughters, so it is right to talk only to the extent that it makes them feel good and leave the rest to Yenika herself.
Ziggs felt a little faint as he looked at Orte and Seyla.
The fact that Yenica is now living in a wild camp after leaving the Ophelis Hall, the fact that she is in trouble every time she can’t give up her commoner temperament even after receiving the title, and the fact that she is living a life that is close to living with a grown man It was terrifying to know what the reaction would be.
I thought it might be a situation where I had to meet and tell Yenika first, but there is no way to know where Yenika is right now, and it is already a festival period, so work is delayed a lot.
“Anyway, I wanted to ask if Yenika is doing well at school, and what kind of news is coming in these days… It feels good to meet Yenika’s acquaintances as soon as she comes to school like this…!”
“By the way, are you saying that you have recently been given the title of baron and estate?”
“okay…! I’ve been milking cows all my life, but suddenly I’m a big old man from a noble family… I’ll have to get used to this. I heard that the master of the Duke of Roth Taylor’s family gave him his strength, but since you’re entering that way, you should meet him and say hello!”
“That… is it…”
“I don’t know if you’ll like it, but I’ve slaughtered the best quality cows on the ranch, and they’ve done the most expensive packaging…”
“I am the master of the Roth Taylor family, and I am not sure if you will like this gift. honey…”
“I told you no one hates food, Sylla! Anyway, from our point of view, you are like a benefactor, so we have to be polite as much as we can! He gave titles and territories to these lowly commoners, and allowed them to live in awe!”
Orte smiled wildly as she pressed Seila’s shoulder with her muscular body.
“I want to take the time to meet with the master of the Duke of Roth Taylor, and I want to meet with Yenika… Where do you think the fastest way to go, student?”
Both of you can go to the hut camp in the North Woods.
I couldn’t bear to say that… Ziggs froze in a cold sweat.
“Right now… I… I don’t know… ha ha… ha ha ha ha…”
*The grand opening ceremony held at the Student Square has also come to an end.
It was spectacular to see the faculty and staff coming out of the academic headquarters and using magic to control the student square.
The number of visitors from outside and the students from inside is so huge that it is impossible to even count them with the naked eye. Seeing that less than a hundred people are controlling the entire field, it can only be said that the power of magic is amazing.
When the student council president Tanya gave a speech, cheers erupted, and after the speech of the vice principal Rachel, who took the place of the principal Obel Forsius, firecrackers went off. freēwēbnovel.com
Even the buildings in the professor’s wing, which were full of decorations, had a very different atmosphere from usual. Stalls of people who came to do business at this time were lined up along the road in Gwak-dong, and people were excited to see the interior of Sylvania, which is not normally open to the public.
On the stage spread out around the student square around the student square, the performances of outside artists and bands invited by the school were scheduled to be excellent, and academic presentations, small magic stages, and various martial arts and contests were also prepared. there was.
Looking at the festival guide distributed by the school, there were so many things to enjoy that I wondered if I could read it and come to see it.
However, not all places are drunk with the heat of the festival.
A prayer meeting presided over by St. Clarissa is scheduled for the section of the Bachelor’s Cathedral. I wonder if there are outsiders who want to come to this place and have a prayer meeting, but it seemed like a great honor for the believers to be able to see St. Clarisse in person.
Apparently, Clarisse seemed to be busy just holding a prayer meeting with the believers. Being in a respected position is still difficult.
“What about Ed? The duel is the day after tomorrow. Until then, will you still be managing the camp?”
Amidst the scattered crowds in the student square, Yenica approached with a smile.
Since they were sorted by grade level, it seems that they were standing quite close together.
Of course, just because it’s a festive day with a lot of academic atmosphere, doesn’t mean that the camp is in good shape. The problems we are facing are not solved, and the time that I can train does not pass slowly.
Yenika knows that too, so I’m asking it in a suggestive way. Just because it was a festival, it didn’t seem like they were going to have fun.
“I’m going to get some rest. You still have to do the basics.”
“okay…? I heard that my juniors are having an academic presentation at the Spirit Society, so I’m going to participate in that party and then look around the stalls in the afternoon…!”
Yenika crouched and glanced around, then came closer and spoke in a whisper.
“Then, would you like to go together late in the afternoon…?”
“good. Because I’m also from Claire’s assistant professor’s lab. You should go there once.”
It is much more comfortable to travel with Yenika than traveling alone, so I happily replied that I knew.
In the morning, I would go back to the camp and finish the work I had to do in advance, stop by the Trix Hall around lunchtime to meet Claire assistant professor once, and then in the late afternoon, I would go to the stalls with Yenica to buy some dinner.
“I’m glad. I’m so busy these days, and I was worried because I looked more impatient a few days before Ed.”
“You look impatient?”
“Yeah… the way he’s been training hard for a while… and the story of Velbroque I told him last time… Ed seems to be getting more and more impatient as he goes on… so I’m worried.”
They shared all the basics with Yenika, but there were still words left unspoken.
It’s a story… before the start of the festival, sitting at the campfire with Ayla.
It was unavoidable for me to have to be impatient before the festival.
“Jenica. I want to sit next to you for a moment.”
When I suddenly said that, Yenika tilted her head and came to my side.
* The schedule that had been scheduled for the Imperial Family came to an end, and it was time to travel around the country with Emperor Chloel.
It was because it was a kind of custom to tour the large facilities throughout the Empire during the Crestor Festival. It also implied that the emperor went to inspect once every four years, so it is a time when all the institutions directly under the imperial family must be alert.
Princess Selaha was walking through the corridors of the luxurious Chlo?l’s Palace of Roses.
It’s time to move slowly. The experience of going directly with Emperor Chloel for a long time and inspecting the institutions directly under the imperial family is an opportunity to score big in the competition for imperial power.
Princess Fenia was in Sylvania, so the circumstances were not good, and Princess Persica asked for some reason to remain in the imperial family.
I couldn’t understand Persica’s intentions to let this precious opportunity remain in the imperial family…
As I was walking across the hallway and striding along with my servants, Persica appeared from the end of the corridor, accompanied by a servant of her own.
Whether it was the way back from eating, the number of soldiers escorting Persica was smaller than expected.
“Oh, you look very busy. Persica.”
“Selaha unnie has also been very busy lately.”
It looked like they were talking to each other while smiling, but the escorting soldiers swallowed dry saliva.
Now, the day when the real imperial rivalry is almost over. For Emperor Chlo?l had implicitly said that when the festival period was over, this sluggish succession race would also end.
So, from Selaha’s point of view, they bet their political fate to accompany them on this tour. It was because it was a golden opportunity to show the vessel as an emperor by traveling around the country together.
“Did you say you are going to Sylvania this time? You can meet Penny. Say hello when we meet.”
“Sure. They are sisters who share the same blood, so it’s nice to be able to confirm their well-being.”
“You’ve been very shy, sister.”
“It’s a necessary skill.”
A strange air flows between the sisters who exchange words with a smile.
Fenia seems hostile to Selaha, and Persica doesn’t want to maintain a friendly relationship with Selaha either.
If Fenia distanced herself from Selaha due to a difference of opinion, Persica was simply distanced from Selaha because her power was too strong.
It was because she did not have the intention to call the royal family closer to Princess Selaha, who is now known to be the closest to the imperial power.
“This time, Penia… I have to come back completely ‘cleaned up’… She helps me in many ways so that I can focus on my studies rather than political affairs like this.”
Selah said with a smile. In Persica’s eyes, Selah’s appearance looked like a lion drunk with her powers and debauched.
“I do not know. I’m not sure if Penia will be cleaned up so easily. There are so many people who are nearby… There are a lot of picky people…”
“You mean Ed Roth Taylor?”
“Oh, you must have been thinking about your sister as well.”
“Well… what kind of emperor’s vessel can we discuss when we can’t take control of the slowly declining Ros Taylor family? I definitely need to cut my nose bridge this time.”
The prestige of a family is not determined simply by title.
Especially in places where the virtue of learning is emphasized, such as the Sylvania Academy, where skill comes first.
This is where the rules that are somewhat different from the Chlo?l imperial court run.
“I have to show it to mama. How different are those who follow me.”
“…”
– ‘Princess Selaha has high expectations for this duel.’
Seeing the letter from the head of the Elpelan family, Dyke frowned.
– ‘Every time the Elpelan family stumbled, he was like a benefactor who was at the forefront of helping. In particular, we must not show that we are inferior in ability to the Roth Taylor family, which has been completely divided in terms of power structure this time.’
The bachelor’s combat club class observation room, in the midst of a festive atmosphere.
Dyke, who was leading the student council to observe the festive atmosphere, took a deep breath when he received a letter urgently delivered by the mailman.
When I close my eyes, the back of a man comes to mind.
He is the Confucius of the Roth Taylor family, who has grown at an unbelievable pace and has taken the top position in the 3rd year Magic Department in an instant.
From what I have seen during my undergraduate life, I am very talented and have a great personality. He is a man who has lived a healthy life while being faithful to his duty without showing any flamboyance.
The size of the vessel it possessed was so grand that it could not be compared with Dyke.
– ‘Our El Phelan family also made a swear word about your skills, Dyke. Be sure to win this duel, so that all honors can be attributed to the merits of the great Princess Selaha. If we can imprint it so clearly, at least our family’s future will be peaceful.’
– ‘A lot depends on you. dyke. I am sorry for not recognizing your efforts and devaluing your efforts during this time. However, in this duel, where the future of our family depends on it, I hope that it will yield results. As the head of the household, please do not ask.’
He speaks as if he’s expecting a lot from Dyke, but if he loses unsightly, he will most likely hold him accountable for his failure.
On the subject of not helping Dyke until he came to this position, it is hard to feel good with empty words to see him as the pride of the family only after things are going well.
Nevertheless, Dyke folded the letter with a quiet and serious expression and put it in his pocket.
“Dike-senpai.”
The junior of the combat team who followed showed a worried face.
“If you lose the duel, will you be kicked out of your family?”
“At least I will hold you accountable. They must have a cause they can avoid.”
“Such a family… f**k you. Better now…”
“Be careful with your words. Bellun.”
Dyke warned his juniors with a serious voice. It was a place that guaranteed a minimum of living and living when he couldn’t take care of himself.
Although it is a rotten place, it is a place that gave half of my name. Dyke Elpelan. I lived my whole life in that name.
“Political reasons or family backgrounds are not my consideration in the first place.”
“then…”
“If a duel is caught, you don’t run away. just that.”
Tomorrow, when Princess Selaha comes to Aken Island, there will be a duel the next day.
Dyke grinned bitterly and blended into the crowd.
*- ‘At first, I was skeptical because your words were so ridiculous. But once I cooled my head and thought about it, I had a question like that. There must be a reason why he provoked Taylor by working so hard.’
On the day Isla Triss came to camp, Isla Triss put down her robe and spoke with a determined face.
She had been searching the library for a long time as if possessed by something.
Even though the festival was long, Ayla locked herself in the library as if she was not interested.
“Can I bring you a cup of coffee?”
“No… that… thank you…”
Her colleague, Taylor, was worried about Isla, who had been confined to the library all day, and would come to the lobby once in a while to see her.
During this festival, when all the academics were excited, Ayla was not confined to the library.
Even so, Ayla was sweating profusely and searching through all kinds of old books. As if he didn’t care what was going on outside.
“Are you worried about Isla?”
Elka came and comforted Taylor, who was looking at Ayla with concern in the library lobby.
Chief librarian, Elka Islan, is a resident of the student library anyway. It had been a few days since I watched Aila, who was locked up in the library every day.
“yes…? Umm… yes… I’ve had a bit of trouble in the past, but I’ve never seen Ayla rushing to find something like that. If you could tell me what’s going on, I’d be less worried…”
“There must be a reason. I think there must be a reason why I don’t even have to tell you. Isla, Taylor, only thinks of you and cares about you.”
“I am grateful. But… I can’t help but worry. Can you tell me a little bit about what book Ayla is looking for like that?”
Since Elka is in the position of managing the library, she knew the level of commonality of the books Aila was reading.
He looked worried for a moment, and then whispered to Taylor in secret.
“Aspect magic. Records of the Seongchangryong sealed in the distant past.”
Hearing that, Taylor also hardened her face for a moment. It wasn’t that Taylor had heard of Ziggs either.
Sung Chang-ryong Velbroque.
It was a story that Ed Roth-Taylor had repeatedly said over and over to the point of being obsessive, Ziggs Eiffelstein told Taylor.
“And I am collecting the lore about the Great Sage Sylvania. There must be something… something on your mind…”
“okay…”
Taylor made a serious face as she sat on a chair in the lobby.
It was the same with Aila’s expression seen from afar.
Ayla was deep in thought about something.
The words she gave to Ed at camp were also unbelievable from her point of view.
– ‘As far as I know, the Great Sage Sylvania, who has maintained the seal of the Holy Chang Dragon Velbrok, has embodied the perfect Aspect magic so that the seal can last forever. No matter how much the timeline flows, it is an eternal law that can hold down Velbrok.’
Ed’s expression facing each other across the bonfire is still seriously etched in Ayla’s memory.
– ‘If the principle of Aspect Magic that manipulates time still works, that seal will never be easily broken. It must have never been the kind of seal that made Velbrok’s molars unstable just by putting it on.’
The lore about the Great Sage Sylvania is still flowing.
Rumor has it that he was a ferocious and lively scholar with his white, white hair tied back.
He is the ideal figure of all wizards, who loved this world and adored the history of the continent and made countless advances in magic.
– ‘If there is a person who can unlock the seal of Velbroque… it doesn’t make sense unless it’s the person who realized that seal.’
Ayla also heard countless stories about Sylvania. As a person whom I personally admire so much, I have collected many stories about her.
Do you understand what you are talking about?
Ed Rothtailer asked Isla that day.
Ayla confidently answered Ed’s question.
– ‘If your prediction is true… Velbrok’s seal has not weakened over the years.’
– ‘…’
– ‘The great sage Sylvania herself solved it herself. Other than that, there is no possibility.’
She is a rare great person recorded in history.
Above all, she is already dead long ago.
There is no way he can do that, and he doesn’t even have the physical conditions to do it.
However, Ayla’s expression remained sincere.
The next thing that popped out of Ayla was… a question with subjunctive.
– ‘If you said that Grand Sage Sylvania was still alive, what would you think? It’s a simple… assumption…’
*Yenika’s expression hardened seriously.
It’s a look on the face that you can’t believe what I said. Even Yenica, who said she would believe anything I said, was an unacceptable fact.
< Failing Sword Castle of Sylvania > Final Act.
Until just before the subjugation of Velbrok, the existence of the Great Sage Sylvania remained only as a setting.
In the resurrection of Velbrok, only a vague description of Velbrok himself breaking the seal after a long period of time remained.
In the distant past, making progress in magic, making a name for yourself as a scholar, nurturing the arch wizard Glock Elderbane, and building this great academy… the one who penetrated the heart of all these scenarios and was at the beginning of all stories. .
In an affair, the name of the person who disappeared without even revealing their name or face, remained only in the background until the end.
If there was someone who was observing all the stories behind the blackout behind the stage…
The only person who could sit there was the Master of Aspect Magic, ‘Great Sage Sylvania’.
When that fact was imprinted, I couldn’t stand still.
If she really was the one who broke the seal of Velbrok…
As long as you find and subdue her who is hiding under the water somewhere in this world, all the ordeal will come to an end.
How a person from hundreds of years ago is still alive, why a great man who made progress in the world does such a thing, whether Ayla’s words are true, are still unknown.
But if that’s true… the trigger to end all these stages is there.
That possibility was imprinted in his mind and never disappeared.
In this world, there is something I couldn’t confirm in <Failed Swordsman of Sylvania>.
It’s time to dig it out.
