My Three Yandere Wives-Chapter 157 Boring Class.

Today, the class is going on as usual.

"Now then, please open page 50 of your respective grimoires. Today we are going to do..."

It was the same, boring lecture that I have done on and on since I was a child.

"Wow, it glowed!"

"It's true...it is exactly as what my sister said."

After the discussion, the teacher standing in front of the lectern drew a magic circle in the air.

And as usual, the classmates around me were fascinated upon seeing it.

I wondered what magic academy would the Royal Academy be like, but to think it was only this much.

My name is Amelia. I'm a scholarship student.

"Fuuh...I wonder when will they make us do something else, like something more practical, maybe?"

I've only been studying on my own during class for a while now.

What our teacher is lecturing now is how to write magic formulas and circles. The most basic ones, to be exact.

But even ordinary mages and wizards don't use this stuff anymore, as it is faster to cast the spells yourself.

But even though I said that, I can write magic circles too.

I taught myself how to do it a few years back.

"Why do I have to do the same thing over and over again?"

I've always been able to learn most things in one sitting.

And among the class, my magical abilities are the best. After all, I've been casting and using magic spells so many times since I was a little girl.

As a daughter of a bookstore owner, I have access to tons of magical spellbooks. That is how I learned.

My father was angry at first, with me twiddling around with our products and such, but when I showed him my magic, he was very happy.

From then on, I studied magic every day with a grimoire in my hand.

Of course, there was no way that any of the kids in our area could keep up with me, so I eventually ended up on my own, but that couldn't be helped. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Eventually, my father suggested that I apply to this school.

We weren't really poor, as grimoires and other magic spell books are a bit of a high price. However, even with our higher than average income, we're still part of the common folk through and through, so it's better to have a scholarship grant than not having one.

I was confident at that time that I would be chosen and that I would receive a high level of education in this academy.

But what was brought to me was this disappointment...

"Miss Burness...Miss Burness?"

"...Nn? Yes?"

Oops, I guess I've been swayed too much by my thoughts that I missed my attention to the teacher.

I know exactly what the class lessons are about, but I still need to follow the discussion so I can answer when she asks me what she was teaching.

Because if I don't perform well in class, I might lose my scholarship student status.

"Could you please step forward and write the magic circle of ignition that is presented in the grimoire?"

"Understood. Please leave it to me."

I left my seat and walked to the front of the lectern.

Then, like what the teacher has demonstrated, I wrote the magic circle in the air. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

In less than a few minutes, the magic circle was completed, according to the textbook.

And it's much faster than when the teacher drew it earlier. As expected of me.

"Excellent, as expected of you, Miss Burness."

The teacher praised me, saying so.

"I think anyone can do this much, though."

"That may be the case if we consider the difficulty, but you demonstrated it faster and more accurately than the others. As expected of a scholarship student chosen by this school."

"Thank you very much."

After saying that, I returned to my seat.

I can hear the cheers around me, but to speak the truth, it's a pain in the butt.

I knew it in every way that their reactions are just a front.

As I said before, my family owns a bookstore. Just a bookstore.

Therefore, I'm not as rich as the ladies that enrolled here.

"I feel like they only came here for the prestige of the school..."

I muttered in a whisper so as not to be overheard.

In the first place, those 'well-bred' princesses can't get along well with a common girl like me. They look at themselves like some kind of beautiful bird up in a tree while looking at us like we're some common farm fowl.

Though the uniforms are a standard, with all sorts of decorations they add to their clothes, even I won't be able to keep up with their fashion, even if we sell all of the assets we currently have.

But I don't really care about that.

In the first place, I became a scholarship student in this school because I want to study magic.

After that, I just listened to the class, answering questions from time to time.

Of course, I had another grimoire at hand to study on my own.

The only thing that exceeded my expectations was the ability to look at so many grimoires.

There are countless books in the library of this school.

What's more, half of the tens of thousands of books in the library are grimoires.

Of course, compared to my father's bookstore, it won't even hold a candle to this place.

"With these so many books, I don't even need to take any classes..."

The only thing I'm worried about is that I won't be able to read all the grimoires while I'm in school, so I have to examine all the spell books that will be useful to me and learn them efficiently before I graduate.

I'm sure there will be more useful classes in the upper levels, so I should read as much as possible before then.

"That's it for today's lesson."

As I was having these thoughts, the bell rang to signal the end of today's lesson.

I wonder if they were using magic to make this alarm? As it had never been out of sync, at least ever since I came here.

Next time, let's see if I can make a similar thing.

Just as I was about to leave my seat, I heard voices talking from the seat next to me.

About three people have gathered around and were talking about something.

"Hey, did you know that there is a male teacher in charge of the classes on the higher years?"

"Are you sure? Isn't this place supposed to be forbidden to men?"

"Eh, but I've heard about it too. I've heard he's a very good-looking person."

Apparently, it seems to be some kind of love gossip again.

Certainly, the presence of a man is unusual in this school, where the students, teachers, and all other staff consist of women entirely.

But in the end, it's nothing to do with me...

"Also, I heard that the man was unknown before he came here."

I was about to stand up again, but those words stopped me.

While being careful not to get noticed, I cast a spell to enhance my hearing.

The reason I went that far was because I was intrigued by the term "Country."

"This country also has the highest standards even among the continent...Is there really such a person in this school?"

The conversation between my classmates proceeded as if they were unaware of my doubts.

"What is his name? Also, what kind of person is he?"

"I believe he is Sir Fay."

"Sir Fay, is it? Ahh, now I like to meet this person."

"Perhaps we could meet him if we visit the higher years' building?"

"But we're noble ladies. It would be too rude if we intrude without permission."

You guys always sink your teeth into it when the topic comes to romance, even though you should be spending your time studying for the exams.

But when you are asked directly, you shy away because it's 'improper for a noble to do those things.'

These nobles sure like their appearances.

Is this also a part of their education as a noble lady? If so, being a noble is more troublesome than I thought.

"Also, I have heard of some rumor."

Then, the first one spoke in a whisper and covers her mouth.

I activated the eavesdropping smell I mastered without chanting.

My classmates can't even draw a magic circle yet, but I've already mastered the materializing a spell without chanting.

"After the school is over, I heard that Sir Fay usually goes at the back of the school building."

"In other words, if you go there, you can meet him secretly..."

"But if they find us, there will be an uproar."

"There's not many people there. Also, isn't it a bit scary, being alone with a man? Even though it's Sir Fay..."

I see, the back of the school building, huh.

It's true that there are only a few people passing there.

It's a great place to hide and meet secretly.

But what is he doing, going at such a place...oh well.

As far as I could tell, the teachers here are of high quality.

However, they are still too far to be considered excellent.

Even I am confident that I could surpass them if I was given a bit of time.

It's probably because they are centered on those who can cater to noble ladies, aside from the fact that they have to be a woman of a presentable upbringing.

But even though the person is a man, he was still a court wizard, the pinnacle of all mages and wizards in this country. He must definitely be incomparable to these teachers who only know how to teach 'children' how to use magic.

"Interesting. If it's him, he might be a good opponent to test my skills."

I'm going to be the best sorcerer in the country anyway, so I should be able to beat that court wizard while I'm here.

I finally decided. I'm going to meet this Arius Fay, and he'll be my stepping stone to greatness.

I stood up from my seat and left the classroom with a nonchalant look on my face.
