Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

Chapter 85

85 – Hercy Minerva(1)

A mansion owned by Minerva.

One girl lived in this largest villa in the islands.

The girl is the owner of this mansion. Heir of the Minerva family, Hercy Minerva.

Her room was filled with dizzying magic circles and various books.

There, with no space to step, Hersie was lying on the bed.

“I can’t see Ruid these days.”

Hersie muttered sadly, grabbing her fox by the armpit and lifting it up.

[…] You seem to be busy these days. The magic power usage is overwhelmingly higher than usual.]

“I guess… ? I’m going to Windsor. The academy already means nothing to Ruid. Something like me… You must have already forgotten.”

The cause of Hercy’s depression was Ruid.

Lately, Ruid has been locked out. She was often away from home, and she never came to the academy.

She was once rumored to have been spotted at the academy swordsman’s hall, but since her face was never shown, she may have already forgotten her own existence.

[It can’t be!]

“… But, she never came to see me.”

[Absolutely, it can’t be.]

Miho trembled her little body.

[I, there is no way you forgot me.]

“… You are anxious too.”

Hercy hugged her Miho.

“Still, it’s a relief that Mihora is here. I am not lonely.”

[Does Hercy have any friends?]

“…… Please refrain from saying hurtful things casually.”

Hercy Minerva.

She was not an easy character.

She has always adhered to her position that she can’t be friendly with anyone who doesn’t fit into the Minerva family.

Even if she became friendly, she kept her distance. It was also because she had no one she liked, and people of high status treat each other with care.

It’s common for trivial disputes to spill over into family affairs.

However, her personality changed after she met Louis.

Hersy, who always thought of the bad things, turned into a positive one, and she was able to move on with a smile, even though she usually did not tolerate the other person’s mistakes.

But recently.

She seemed to have fallen out with Louis, and she was feeling depressed.

“Being with Delrin’s fairy was like a dream. That time was good.”

[Oh, you talk like a long-lived human.]

Miho spoke to Hercy to comfort her.

[Hercy has been busy lately too. She probably didn’t want to disturb. It’s the exam period. The test, I heard she is very important to Hercy.]

“… Huh. That’s right. In fact she doesn’t even have time to be depressed like this. I have to study even for one more minute.”

[Why is Hercy so obsessed with studying? As I see it, the only person she can score higher than Hercy is Master.]

Hersy’s expression darkened for a moment, but it was only for a moment. She replied brightly.

“Can’t we fall behind? Even so, he is the only heir to the Minerva family.”

She tried hard to pretend to be bright, but a bitter aftertaste remained.

Suddenly, I remembered what Ruid had said.

-Hersey, don’t you have any worries?

She said that back then she said that she had to show a bright side, but she couldn’t exist as a person without troubles.

Hercy also had concerns. It was also a pretty earnest wish.

‘… I don’t want to be hated.’

House Minerva was a fiercely competitive system.

Succession is not determined by the succession of the eldest son, but by skill.

That’s why he was able to become the successor even though he had two older brothers of the same age.

Because Hercy is the best.

But that wasn’t what she wanted.

‘I didn’t want to become an heir.’

Hercy had two older brothers and two younger sisters.

When I was young, Hercy was a person who was quite fond of. She was especially friendly with her brothers. Hersy was very dear to her.

She’s perfect, only until she’s 5 years old.

-Hercy Minerva is appointed as Minerva’s successor.

The Minerva family is evaluated for their skills.

The head of Minerva found out that Hercy was the best and installed her as her successor.

Her relationship with her older brothers, with whom she had a good relationship since then, has gone sour.

She

She didn’t hate herself outright, but even at her young age, she felt that she didn’t like herself.

She said that it was because of her inferiority complex that she was far behind her younger brother, but her little Hersy was innocent.

-‘If I work harder, the older brothers will be nice to me again.’

She made the wrong choice.

Hercy worked hard from that day on. She

She worked hard in everything and she didn’t act childish.

It was all done to impress her brothers.

Hersy, who was already talented, achieved remarkable growth when she combined her hard work.

Her skills have improved markedly – but her relationship with her family hasn’t progressed at all.

-‘I…. I want to get along well with my older brothers.’

Hersy still can’t forget what she heard then.

– Unlucky year.

Flinch.

Hersy opened her eyes.

“…… When was it morning?”

I think I fell asleep.

Miho was sound asleep between her legs.

With a faint smile, Hersy stroked Miho. The arctic fox’s fur was very soft and warm.

She took a deep breath and cautiously stood up.

It’s time to go to the academy.

Ruid looked up at the sky with a very serious face.

Her mouth was tight, her eyes hardened.

Take a step. I looked around. I see students moving around busily. Spreading her magical energy thinly and widely.

Ruid was now in the agony of her life.

‘Where do you sleep?’

I thought as I hugged her pillow.

A gift to oneself for hard work.

She couldn’t sleep at Delrin’s lake as usual.

You will get the best sleep in the best place. If she couldn’t, she had to find the best sleeping spot on the roof of the cathedral.

Ruid and her dodo also ran towards the place that suddenly came to mind.

‘Here.’

Her eyes twinkled.

Purdi green grass. Dew was on the windswept grass because of how well she had looked after her.

This grass bed looked better than Delrin’s lake, so it was a place already in Ruid’s memory.

But I never slept here. Because there is a fatal problem.

“Hmm?”

I saw Damon surrounded by four women. This was the place of Damon’s affair!

In addition, because of its taste, it is often used as a date course. Besides Damon, many other students were enjoying themselves.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. Did the work of the Knights go well?”

“Yes.”

Damon came towards him, clapping away at her woman’s arm.

‘And personality.’

I was amazed every time I saw it. It’s completely out of the question to openly cheat on her fiancee, who is fine.

“Looks like you went through quite a bit of trouble.”

“How do you know?”

“Don’t you know? Half of our house is frozen.”

“Ah…… “

“But don’t worry. Because it melts steadily. They say it will melt completely in about 15 years.”

Ruid was sorry.

“Should I melt it?”

“All right. It’s nice to lie down on the ice after training because it’s cool.”

‘Damon, you’re a real man.’

One mental aspect is recognition.

Ruid slowly got to the point.

“I have a request.”

“Please?”

“I’m going to repair the barrier, move away.”

“Barrier repair?”

“Yes.”

Louis touched her empty air with a genuine expression.

The thread of complex magical power materialized.

“Huh.”

Damon snorted.

“Looking at the pillow, it must have come looking for a place to take a nap.”

“… ….”

“There is no need to lie to me. I really liked the new spear you gave me. What good I will keep you out.”

Damon snapped his fingers.

The attention of the students who had been quietly watching this side was focused.

“Professor Ruid asked me to step aside for a moment to repair the barrier. Cooperate, celestials.”

Damon said that and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Other students followed suit as well. He bowed to Louis and said hello.

The seat was empty within 5 minutes. As expected, the person who was once a prince was different no matter what.

‘I’ll give you a gift later.’

Louise took her tree out of space.

From noble mtl dot com

With her magic, she cut it into squares and wrote it.

[Under construction! No entry!]

I put a wooden information board near the entrance and took a seat in a sunny place. He tossed the pillow.

I’m ready for a nap.

‘Should I just sleep for 20 hours?’

Ruid lay down on the grass and covered his robe like a blanket. The natural grass gently wrapped around the body and provided the comfort of paradise.

“Invisible ability.”

I cast the magic I had developed in advance.

It was a combination of super-powerful cognitive impairment and invisible magic.

‘Okay, perfect. That way, no one will bother me.’

Ruid slowly closed his eyes.

It was a lazy afternoon.

[Under construction! No entry!]

Behind the main building, secluded thanks to the construction sign, ‘Garden of Starlight’

A man and a woman were standing there. The man was staring with her arms crossed, and the woman could put her head in front of the man.

With both silver hair and emerald eyes, they were clearly a family.

Hercy and Klein.

They were the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Minerva family.

“Why did you call me here? Hersy.”

“That, that.”

Hersy looked at the floor with a red face.

Hersie felt lonely last night.

She wanted to restore her relationship with her family.

So she called Klein, who was attending the academy, in a place where no one was there because it was under construction.

It was not easy because I heard a cold rejection once.

Hercy stood here with great courage.

“Oh, brother.”

Hersy raised her head after making up her mind. He shuddered when he met the cold eyes, but Hercy wanted to move on.

Like Louis and Amelia, I wanted to get along well with my family.

“In the meantime, really… I’m sorry.”

“… ….”

“Because I, uh, arrogant. I’ll be polite from now on. I will never ignore my older brother. It’s all my fault. I’ll try. That, so… Can’t we live like before… ?”

‘Eh, he said.’

It seemed that the lump that had been left for a long time had melted away a little.

Hersy looked at Klein nervously.

However, Cline was still chilly.

“How far are you going to make me miserable?”

“… !”

With a bang, Hercy’s hopes collapsed.

“If you are the heir of Minerva, put your personal feelings in. And hersy.”

Klein glared at Hercy like he was going to chew on it.

“At least respect me. It is an insult to say that to a competitor.”

“That, that’s not it. Oh, brother.”

Where did I say it wrong?
