“Is this really correct?”
I tried to study in my room about what I had learned today, holding a pen instead of a sword, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.
I was confident that I wasn’t on the stupid side.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive by applying the numerous books I had read in the Demon Realm Forest to reality.
But this was a different concept.
I was fundamentally lacking.
Since I enrolled starting from the 3rd year, I lacked the 1st and 2nd-year concepts, so even when I read, I couldn’t properly understand what they were talking about.
I searched for terms and went with the flow, and like a salmon swimming up a river, I ended up going from the 3rd-year textbook to the 1st-year textbook.
‘Ha, I’m definitely not stupid.’
In a situation where I felt strangely stupid, Tana and Eve opened the door with a clatter and entered from outside.
No, this is the men’s floor, how are they coming and going so freely?
“Daniel! Where are you going?”
“No matter how much I think about it, Batian is the best, right? You can go and see the cathedral!”
“What are we going to do at the cathedral? Pray? It’s boring! It’s a 3rd-year field trip, we need to go somewhere at least a bit exciting! If we go to the Taemin Plateau, we can ride horses on the vast plains and feel nature!”
They suddenly came to my room and started arguing.
I wondered what they were talking about since it was rare for them to disagree, but the two of them looked at me.
“Where do you want to go? It’s 1:1, so you have the last vote!”
“Think wisely and carefully!”
“…… What are you talking about?”
I thought someone was busy studying to death, but what are they talking about?
Eve handed me a piece of paper and read aloud the large writing on it.
“3rd and 4th-year field trip……?”
Ah, the external educational activity conducted with the purpose of not only having students study at the academy but also experience various outside experiences and cultures?
Externally, that was the purpose, but to be blunt, it was no different from students going out to play together.
“That’s not important to me right now.”
As I sighed while clearing away the paper, the two of them glanced at my desk.
Then they started to hold back their laughter.
“Pfft, did Daniel get scolded for his poor demonology grades?”
“See, I told you? I said let’s study together.”
“Sigh, I thought I could make up for it with practical skills.”
Originally, since my practical skills were so outstanding, it wasn’t a big problem even if I got the lowest score in subjects like demonology.
I knew Ares was also covering subjects like demonology with practical skills.
But the problem was that starting from my attendance, the professors and parents had become dissatisfied.
It meant that I could no longer be overlooked with just being a student who was good at practical skills.
“Let me see. Hmm, are you looking at it from the 1st year?”
Eve made a dumbfounded expression.
I made excuses that I was trying to find parts about terms or simple formulas and sighed.
“Now that you know, go. I need to study. You guys can decide among yourselves where to go.”
Because I might not be able to go if I get expelled.
“That’s a bit difficult. Hmm, Daniel, come here. I’ll teach you.”
Eve took out a folding table and sat down on the floor.
Tana seemed to not want to study, so she immediately twisted her body with a frown.
“I, I have something to do for a bit!”
Tana quickly left the room.
But Eve didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping her anyway.
Her target was firmly fixed on me.
“So, shall we start? What don’t you understand?”
“…… From here.”
It was a bit embarrassing, but it would be more foolish to put on airs and pretend here.
Since Eve was strong in these written exams as much as she was weak in practical skills, I honestly asked for her help.
“Ah, from here? Don’t worry, Student Daniel.”
“Ha, student?”
“Oh my, don’t interrupt when the teacher is talking.”
Eve slightly pushed up her glasses and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Seeing her smiling leisurely, I thought I should just play along, so I picked up my pen.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Daniel, I heard you were studying, so I brought snacks.”
Rin opened the dormitory door with a clatter and entered.
Now, it wasn’t important whether this was a studio apartment or the men’s floor of the dormitory.
I thanked her while diligently scribbling with my pen, but I felt a chilling coldness from behind.
“But who is this?”
Seeing Sen lying on my bed and eating snacks, Rin’s eyes lost focus.
“No, she suddenly barged in, saying she would monitor if I was studying well.”
By the way, Sen didn’t enter through the door but climbed over the window.
Sen, with a snack in her mouth, made a V sign with her hand and showed off her boldness.
Perhaps it served as a bit of an excuse, Rin paused for a moment and then smiled slightly.
“Eat the sandwich. And I’ll teach you a bit. You said it was demonology, right?”
Eve had already taught me in the morning and left, and now it was Rin in the afternoon?
Since the witch Adriana had left the school, 3rd-year demonology was nothing short of Rin’s solo stage.
Her magical talent and skills were at a level that even the dean coveted.
“Then I’ll ask for your help.”
Since I had already learned from Eve and realized how great teachers were, I asked without much hesitation, although Rin seemed a bit surprised at first that I accepted so easily.
“Okay!”
She nodded her head vigorously with a bright smile.
I wondered why Rin was happier when I was the one receiving the teaching, but she got unexpectedly close to me.
“So, where are you at?”
“…… Isn’t this too close?”
In Eve’s case, she had a voluptuous figure that was a bit unsuitable for an 18-year-old, so I needed to keep some distance, but Rin wasn’t like that.
I thought I could sit next to her and learn without much trouble, but wasn’t she getting so close that she was almost sticking to me?
“I can’t help it if I’m going to teach you. My eyesight is bad.”
“You have bad eyesight?”
The girl who used to see everything I was doing through the window of our house from the hill at the end of the village says she can’t see at this distance?
“Daniel, you shouldn’t doubt the teacher. You need personal guidance.”
It sounded strangely suggestive, so I just said let’s study quickly, but Rin seemed a bit disappointed but still didn’t back away and continued studying.
Indeed, as the 1st place in 3rd-year demonology, she explained difficult parts quite easily.
“…… Can you teach me too?”
Sen, who had been lying on the bed watching us, slowly approached from the other side and said.
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but snort.
“What are you going to learn when you make a living with practical skills?”
Sen was also a typical case like me and Ares.
The physical types who went all-in on practical skills and just got enough scores to pass in written tests.
In fact, Sen had read my textbook a few times, but she didn’t seem to understand it properly.
“Whatever. Go eat snacks, little kid.”
What is a 17-year-old trying to teach a 28-year-old?
I acknowledge up to a 10-year age gap, but I don’t acknowledge 11 years.
I spoke with a raised nose, and Sen went back to the bed with an annoyed expression.
Smack!
Because of the pillow that hit the back of my head, the sandwich I was eating got sauce all over my face.
“…… Hey.”
“Bleh.”
With an expressionless face, she stuck out her tongue and immediately escaped through the window.
This girl, really……
I sighed and looked for something to wipe with, and Rin took out a handkerchief and wiped my face.
“I, I’ll do it.”
“No, stay still.”
Rin gently wiped the sauce on my face with a slight smile.
I said I would wash the handkerchief, but she said it was okay and took it back.
Seeing this, it showed the aspect of her that had once been the first love of all the village boys.
‘Even Ares fell for her.’
Come to think of it, isn’t Rin more amazing than Ares?
Both Ares and Rin were popular with numerous members of the opposite sex, but Ares liked Rin.
Then isn’t Rin one step above Ares?
At that moment, a finger poked my cheek firmly.
“Daniel, you need to focus.”
Rin smiled mischievously.
For a moment, my heart unconsciously raced, but I hurriedly talked as if to resolve the situation, saying let’s study quickly.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Daniel! My husband! I’m here to help!”
A voice that pierced my ears.
As if to prove she was a delinquent, her vocalization was outstanding from the start.
May Plov, who entered my room with a workbook, couldn’t help but make a perplexed expression.
I don’t know what that girl was thinking when she came, but judging by the slightly revealing clothes she was wearing as pajamas, it would have been a big deal if we were alone.
“What, why are there so many people?”
May, who entered with a dumbfounded expression, first pointed at the maid Bertia, who was teaching me.
“Why is she teaching you?”
“I heard she studied various disciplines to teach Elise. So indeed, she teaches well.”
Bertia was also pretending to be just a servant since it was a secret that Elise was a princess, but as the person in charge of the princess’ education, she was naturally at a high level in demonology.
Especially compared to Eve and Rin, the difference was that she knew how to teach.
The two of them were specialized in learning methods, so it was easy to absorb that way.
Now, using the teeth I gained from the two of them, it felt like chewing what Bertia gave me.
“What are they doing?”
When I asked, pointing to Hayun and Elise who were sitting properly facing each other on my bed, Elise answered instead.
“Isn’t it natural for me, Bertia’s master, to be here?”
“I was going to help Daniel study a bit too, but it seems unnecessary.”
May looked at the two of them disapprovingly.
“So you’re playing a card game on Daniel’s bed?”
“…… This is unexpectedly fun.”
Hayun also avoided her eyes as if she was a bit embarrassed, but Elise confidently shuffled the cards and offered them to May.
“Do you want to join us?”
“Ha.”
May glanced at me once and quietly went to sit next to Hayun.
“What game are you playing?”
“Can’t you all just leave?”
Someone is studying, but they’re playing among themselves.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Didn’t I say it?
I’m not that stupid.
I proudly raised my nose, seeing that all the questions on the test paper prepared separately for me were marked as correct.
Even the dean applauded me briefly, saying I was amazing.
“Then, there’s no expulsion now, right?”
“Yeah, no expulsion…… No expulsion.”
“No expulsion?”
Something feels uneasy?
The dean also sighed, pressing his head as if he had a headache.
“Recently, there have been a lot of complaints from male students.”
“…… Pardon?”
I felt a chilling uneasiness hitting the back of my head from my heels.
“Through a meeting, the professors decided to strengthen the monitoring of the male and female dormitories, and they said that students who lower the decency of the academy need a strict punishment.”
“No, wait a minute.”
I feel wronged.
What am I supposed to do when they just barge in on their own?
“Yeah, I understand how you feel, but right now it’s like a trial run, so they decided to only punish one person each. One from the 3rd year, one from the 4th year.”
“……”
“Besides, although you proved your demonology grades, your attendance is still lacking, so……”
To me, who had a devastated expression, the dean declared with an apologetic look.
“I think you’ll have to miss this field trip.”
