I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 86

Under clear autumn weather.

The funeral of Kanin Mage Artain was held in a solemn atmosphere. Summer Turge was unusually crowded with crowds from the Islands.

“I will move.”

I kept my seat from the beginning to the end of the funeral, but not a single tear came out.

Deep in the neutral zone, there is no way to retrieve a corpse buried tens of meters below ground.

A procession continued to the front door.

I just watched the empty coffin go away.

“senior.”

“why.”

Baeller’s dazed face, standing side by side, was like a mirror. Handsome is not the same.

“Classes start next week.”

“I guess so.”

Death is just a stagnant fact.

Even if there are incidents like this, the class continues. So that students can grow.

“Don’t listen.”

“… … ?”

“There is no senior name on the 3rd grade attendance sheet.”

I asked the professors in charge of the third year to remove Baeller from the roll.

My condition is not very good, and even if I go through something like that, I won’t be able to take classes.

“You don’t have a name.”

Of course, this is far from the truth.

Even if I don’t feel fine, it’s not to the extent that I can’t attend classes. Baeller now has a will.

“Professors’ classes aren’t just for one senior.”

According to the existing system, of course, someday it will surpass the 5-star wall.

But it may take several years. It usually takes 10 years for a 5-star wizard to reach a 6-star.

Baeller was created, but he wasn’t talented in the first place. So there is no substitute for Kanin.

Time is only about 1 year.

Within a year, the goal is at least 6 stars.

“I will learn again from scratch.”

This is not the stage to discuss possible and impossible. Even that is a waste.

“That’s the way we talked about it then.”

“yes. There has never been a case like this, but I think seniors can copy them.”

Neil was like that, and 1st year A class was like that. Students who haven’t learned magic for a long time, so their star rating isn’t that high.

Originally, it was only valid for them, but Baeller was able to do so even after reaching a 5-star rating.

Even if you don’t understand it, it’s possible to follow the movement of the magical power you can see without a single error.

“What can I do?”

“First of all, we will need a separate space. Right now, all classrooms have their own uses, so it’s hard.”

There are many people to keep by your side.

Of course, the closer you are, the better. You need a separate space.

“Follow me.”

* * *

Somerset’s Technical Department.

This place, which was once a shabby warehouse next to the playground, has been completely transformed and reborn as an antique building. It was because of Neil’s hobby.

It’s a bit cluttered right now because it’s being expanded, but I’m looking forward to seeing what happens after it’s finished.

“Write your name in the blank there, sign it… … Yes, that’s all right.”

“Is this enough?”

“There is still one left.”

I went outside with a pen and lifted the nameplate on the door.

[Technical Department]

Advisor: Nael Aindarroch

Manager: Rockstrin Aindarok

Buwon

– Ainim von Rongrt

– Hira Yuxilla

– Frid Rapid

–

“Ba, ell, ler, ron, he, le, t.”

Write your name in the blank space.

There is no technical department for this, but if you make good use of this place, you do not have to spend a lot of effort.

“The timetable won’t change much, just come here like you would come to a lecture room.”

If you’re going to learn magic with imagination theory, lectures from professors aren’t very helpful, so it’s much better to learn from me or three other people.

“What about later?”

“it’s okay. All of the people listed here will not be taking classes.”

This is because the technical department receives special treatment, just like the first aid department.

There is no penalty for not participating in the professor’s class.

“That’s all right.”

Taktak.

After putting the nameplate back on, I felt happy for some reason. Six people gathered.

“There’s only one senior who will listen, and it’s the first time I’ve made and taught a course properly from scratch, so it might be clumsy.”

“I do not care.”

“Maybe I’ll improve that and teach it to first graders next year.”

It was such a plan.

Imagination Theory, which I briefly taught as an emeritus professor in the first semester, actually did not achieve great results except for the first year A class that I forced myself to teach.

I haven’t learned any pedagogy, and I’m not particularly good at teaching others.

So it takes practice.

This process will also serve as a good reference for the training centers that are being built throughout the empire.

“When is the class?”

“I will do it tomorrow. I have work today.”

“It doesn’t seem like you’re busy today.”

“Well, it will be better tomorrow.”

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I was busy getting permission from Yurain, drafting the curriculum, and seeking advice from professors who had taught students for many years.

But to my surprise, I slept!

There was that much leeway. What a huge development.

“When I see you, I really… … . I don’t think my five years have been anything special.”

The road to the Tower of Truth along the promenade outside the campus. Baeller suddenly brought up such a story.

what, 5 years? I groaned and replied.

“Ugh, five years of doing this. I’d rather die. I don’t know if I have two bodies.”

“no.”

Baeller shook his head and said.

“So far, I think I’ve already surpassed my 5 years. It looks like I was being rude.”

“Originally, once it’s over, you’ll forget about the painful things.”

“is it.”

“That’s it.”

Bad memories from that time just don’t come to mind.

I couldn’t sleep properly, I vomited up what I ate, and I forced myself to learn magic. It’s been 3 years, so my head must have deleted it by force… … .

But when I put it like that, it suddenly came to my mind.

I go?

“Then you too will be able to forget it after it passes.”

“That would be nice.”

If it’s three years from now, that is.

Until we reached the tower, we just walked without speaking. The screams of the female students he encountered along the way were no longer new.

He shared the same floor as Baeller, so even the elevator was with him.

While waiting to arrive on the 12th floor.

“Well, on second thought, I don’t really want to forget.”

“why?”

“It’s hard, but hard and painful are different.”

ding.

The elevator reached the twelfth floor.

My room, room 1203, is in the hallway on the left, and Baeller’s room is in the hallway on the right.

“I am not suffering now.”

“I’m glad.”

They turned to each other and smiled.

Back in the room, I took a hat, gloves, and a scarf… … Anyway, I put on my thick clothes and came out again.

In the meantime, the elevator went down to the first floor, so I went up one floor by stairs.

The funeral had just ended, so there might be students coming and going.

smart.

I knocked on the door of room 1303 while quietly noticing. A rustle was heard inside.

Now I see a sock wrapped around the doorknob. I guess there’s even a Santa.

“who are you.”

A sleepy voice came from behind the unlocked door. It’s not the best time to sleep. I answered cheerfully.

“Me. But I think we need to open it soon. Thirty seconds?”

Knock-knock, there was the sound of busy movement inside. It took about 30 seconds for the door to open.

“Excuse me~”

The moment I crossed a door, I felt like I was in a freezer. Afterwards, when the wind blew, white breath came out.

“What, what are you here for?”

“I came to play.”

I’m just here to play.

All the pretty hair sticks out of the coat. He must have been dressed comfortably when he was in the room, so he must have dressed up in a hurry.

“How are you?”

“… … All right, how are you?”

Auril was very confused.

I don’t think I could ever imagine someone entering my room.

But it’s not impossible at all. Wouldn’t it be better to think of it as a part-time job in a freezer? It’s a little colder than that, though.

“You came with your intentions.”

Euril, who saw my outfit, said.

It’s still October, but he came wrapped up all over the same way as Euril, so his intentions are understandable.

“I want to stay a little longer. Is there anywhere to sit?”

“there.”

I saw a round table and a pair of chairs in the corner of the living room. why did you leave it there

It’s also in my room, so it’s probably like the basic furniture in the Tower of Truth.

“No, what kind of dust is piled up like this. Won’t you clean up?”

“Don’t come into my room.”

“ah.”

When it comes to the Tower of Truth, students do not clean their rooms themselves.

This is because, along with Melida, the housekeeper, a servant periodically visits and cleans for them. Auril’s room is dangerous and doesn’t seem to come in.

“Auril should have cleaned the floor himself.”

“… … It’s nagging as soon as it comes. I am not going there.”

From the entrance to the inner room, it has been cleaned. I was joking, of course, but when I pulled out the dusty chair on the other side, it actually made me feel pretty sick.

never been written

I dragged the desk and chair, roughly dusted them, and sat down.

“sit down please. I will tell you a very wonderful heroic story.”

“Is it your story?”

“You know. You’re not going to wonder.”

“… … yes.”

Euril opened the window wide and sat meekly in the chair opposite.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m wearing this much, but it’s much better than when I was in the classroom.”

“is it?”

“If you can’t stand this, how do the people of Aindarok survive in the winter?”

He tapped the scarf that had been wrapped three times and said. It was the red scarf Auril lent me.

“Let’s see. I’ll tell you in detail from day one. It’s quite a long story, so while drinking a glass of water… … .”

shit.

I had a cup so I used water magic and it froze.

“It sucks.”

“sorry.”

I awkwardly raised my glass and looked around, but Euril burst out laughing while saying he was sorry.

I couldn’t use fire magic in the room, so I decided to just give up.

“Anyway. Just 3 weeks ago, right? I went down to the parking lot this morning. There are hundreds of wagons outside the front gate… … .”

Anyway, we started talking.

Hundreds of wagons move in a row, and on the way to Aindarok, the procession suddenly stops, monsters appear, and later, I found out that the professors spilled it on purpose… … .

From such trivial things.

“Do you know how high the barrier is? If you look up from the stairs on the first floor of the Tower of Truth, you are at the top. higher than that But it’s hundreds of meters left and right… … .”

What was the barrier like? While undergoing training, the Gnostic Wizard sighed.

“Aren’t you active?”

“Ah, right now is the important thing. You doubt this.”

“okay. continue.”

So, the class A students and me were used as standards. When I finally succeeded and saw the “fireballs” spreading out in a row, I was moved.

At that point, I went over the barrier and headed to the neutral zone, and wiped out the monsters using the magic core… … .

“There are a lot of people out there right now. It’s because of the funeral.”

“Yes.”

“Oddly enough, there were no tears. The tube over there is empty. How can I find a corpse in the middle of the Neutral Zone?”

The 20-day epic ended with a sigh. I almost sweated as I spoke with all my heart and soul.

“how about it. I may not look that way in front of Euryl, but I’m that kind of person… … .”

“Hey, Rocktrin.”

“yes?”

“sorry.”

Euril, who had been listening to the story with her chin on her chin, suddenly apologized.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Actually, I don’t remember a single thing I said from the middle.”

“Eh.”

I said I didn’t drink a sip of water and gave a long speech. Has it been about two hours? I couldn’t even frown.

“Well, did you wake up?”

4 pm.

It is the time when Euril, who is different day and night, should be asleep.

But at night I also have to sleep. I care about my health.

“I should have told you when I was sleepy. I was holding on forcibly.”

“Nope. I’m not sleepy, just.”

“just?”

When I asked again, Euril met my eyes and said,

“I was just watching.”

Contrary to the temperature in the room, with a warm voice and a bright smile.

“What if I can’t hear you?”

… … Anyway.

This guy’s face is the problem.

“I’ll have to cover my face next time.”

“I wonder if it will work.”

Euril said so and held out her gloved hand.

I was also wearing thick gloves, so I was able to touch it lightly.

“It still is.”

Tok.

Like a scene from an old movie.

For a moment, the index fingers touched and then fell.

Keeping your hands together in front of you, close your eyes. Auril said quietly.

“My heart is pounding, I can’t hear a thing.”
