How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

65 – Double Sided (4)

“Waaa…Waaa…”

“What’s wrong? Is there some problem?”

“Huh, how can men and women live in such a space… Are there different standards for nobles…? I guess I’m a little jealous… Huh…”

After dropping off Ellie just in time for the curfew, I headed straight to the meeting place with Eugenia. I started studying with Ellie, but that doesn’t mean I can cut back on my promise to Eugenia.

If you are studying at the same level as Ellie, Eugenia feels like you are teaching her, so there is something different about her. It’s very quick to learn, so it’s rewarding to teach. I think I can understand the professors’ feelings a little bit.

“Are you jealous? Of studying? If that’s the case, you’re working harder.”

“Well…It’s nothing. But last time you said you wouldn’t take this test. Have you changed your mind…?”

“It’s not like that, but the professor himself put my name on the list of test takers. It’s not a student’s duty to intentionally not take a test. It’s true from the professor’s point of view…”

“…Then, we could really be in the same class…?”

Eugenia asks carefully. There seems to be a hint of anticipation in the tone.

“That’s true, but I plan to be satisfied with C. You said you don’t want to fall behind that guy? Then, as much as I can… I’m sorry.”

In the middle of speaking, I realized a mistake and quickly stopped speaking.

Eugenia shook her head slightly and gave a small, wry smile.

“…It’s okay. Things like that happened…Of course it’s hard to have good feelings…”

When I think about Eugene, the raw expression inside always comes out in an unrefined way.

Maybe it’s because I’m clearly entangled in a bad relationship, but even though I know the fault is mine, I can’t feel good about him.

“…I’ll try to restrain myself. Anyway, I don’t want to fall behind your friend too much. Then, you should work hard and be prepared to get up to B.”

“…Yes, that’s right. You have to work hard…”

Eugenia’s expression as she answers is a bit subtle. Is it because she doesn’t have the confidence to get up to level B? But I know her talent, and now I have the tools to help her do it.

“Then shall we start today? I got a genealogy from a senior I know. If I have this, I can memorize it more easily…”

“…Studying as soon as we meet…? We can talk about other things for a while before we start…”

When I took out the paper, Eugenia made a slightly sad expression.

“I want to do that too, but there’s still so much to memorize. If you work hard, you’ll be able to do it soon. You can talk about the other stories later.”

“Chi…Okay…”

Eugenia pouted her mouth slightly, but then she gathered herself together and began to focus on her studies. And today, her concentration was better than usual, and Eugenia memorized everything I told her in less than two hours.

“This is the last one. This is an application problem, but the recipe for a Celinger-style minor recovery potion. Do you understand?”

“Uh… Snail snake shell powder, horned rabbit horn, dried platypus spleen. Barum leaf, needle flower root.”

“That’s right. So what would happen if we replaced the leaves of Barum with Saccharia?”

“Wait a minute… The leaves of the varum plant have a neutralizing effect… But doesn’t Saccharia separate the ingredients at all? Then… Instead of a restorative effect… A drug to relieve drowsiness…?”

Eugenia had a confused expression and spoke without confidence, but she succeeded in getting all of today’s questions correct.

“That’s right. Among the questions that appeared in last year’s promotion exam, this was the most difficult question for ordinary students. It’s difficult to apply it right away because they don’t encounter it often. If you have the skills to answer these questions correctly, you can easily get B.”

“Hey…I guess it’s thanks to you teaching me well…Then we’re done studying for today, right? Let’s talk about something else! Well, what happened in biology class earlier…”

Eugenia smiled brightly, and then she changed the subject and gave herself up to her favorite chat.

Now that I think about it, how is Eugenia able to move around outside of her dormitory? She was well past curfew. Suddenly she becomes curious.

“But isn’t there a curfew in the dormitory now? How can she move around like this?”

“…Come on.”

Eugenia is shocked and surprised by my question. She then turns her head and mutters in a low voice. I couldn’t hear clearly, so I pressed her to answer one more time.

“What?”

“I climb over windows… If I attach a spirit to my body, I can avoid alarm magic… And my room is in the outermost building of the dormitory building… I only have to climb over one fence…”

This is an unimaginable method. Perhaps because she was embarrassed to say it, Eugenia lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

“…Can’t I go and say this…? I would be embarrassed to go to the academy if I did that…I’m telling you because it’s you…”

“Stop! This is it! Thank you for your hard work.”

“Whoa…Whoa…Thank you for your hard work…Whoa…”

The bell ringing the end of the exam echoes throughout the training hall. And as soon as I heard the sound, I let go of the sword and fell down on the floor. As a result of the intense movement, sweat pours down the body and the muscles scream.

In contrast to me, the man in front of me didn’t break a single drop of sweat and didn’t look tired at all. Cadric, the first-year student’s professor in charge of martial arts, grins and turns her head towards the judges sitting in their seats.

“What do you think, professors? These seem to be pretty good qualifications. Even considering that he came from B in the first place, he is a very remarkable student. From what I see, he looks almost as good as the kids in A. .”

“…I agree. The movements are very simple and uncluttered. I guess I only learned the basics, but I coped well with the irregular movements. The supply of mana from the hand to the sword is also stable.”

As if to express their agreement with what he said, the non-educated professors from other grades who are serving as judges nod their heads. A professor who looked to be on the cusp of middle age turned his head to look at me and asked.

“It’s not entirely non-existent, but it looks like there’s little hesitation when swinging the sword. Usually, children of that age instinctively avoid pointing the blade towards their body. Hmm, look! Have you ever participated in a battle? Is there one?”

“Huh…Huh…Actually…Are you talking about it?”

I managed to catch my breath and think for a moment about an appropriate answer to the professor’s question. I have experienced this in practice twice. This was the first time my family had to deal with a monster. A terrible second time dealing with a person in Drakton.

There is no need to talk about Drakton. Ellie, who has been entangled for no reason, may also be dragged out.

“The last time I went down to the family due to suspension, I participated in the extermination of monsters within the territory…”

“Ah… Ugh, that’s right. It’s suspension…”

After hearing my answer, the middle-aged man looks through his school records. And he smiles sheepishly and blurts out his words. The young female professor sitting next to her glared at him and continued to ask her questions.

“Then have you personally cut down monsters? If so, may I ask how many you have hunted?”

“I remember catching twelve ratmen and five goblins.”

“In the first subjugation? If that is true, it is a significant achievement for a first battle.”

After hearing what I said, the female professor pushed up her glasses with a look of surprise.

“hehehe, that’s right. There was a reason why he seemed less hesitant. Since he already had experience, he must have become accustomed to such behavior to some extent. Although he experienced the actual battle a little early, the opponent was a very suitable person and he was good at scoring. “I saw it.”

The middle-aged professor, who had regained his bearings, naturally intervenes. He looked at me with penetrating eyes and motioned for me to come towards him.

“Hey, come over here for a moment.”

As I followed his words and approached the judges’ table, a middle-aged professor stood up and came up behind me. He then places his hands on the ridges of my wings and blows a very thin layer of his own mana. The feeling of an unpleasant line tearing through my blood vessels lasts for a few seconds, then disappears in an instant.

“Hmm, it’s very well-opened. The mana flows very quickly. The energy is also very pure. What is the mana method?”

“I am learning the family secret.”

“You look pretty good. You don’t have to ask, I can tell that you’re training consistently on a daily basis.”

The middle-aged professor returned to his seat and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at me.

Cedric picks up a quill and scribbles on a document, then looks around at the professors sitting in their seats and says:

“Okay, let’s end here. I think it’s okay to give it ‘extraordinary’, but what do other people think?”

“No objection.”

“I don’t have one either.”

Cedric nodded his head and handed me the document with his signature.

“It was a lot of hard work. This is the highest point. All you have to do is move on to the next exam location. Let’s take a break there. Was magic next? Depending on the ingredients, there may be a misunderstanding that you used drugs, so even if it’s a bit difficult, magic “Please refrain from using recovery potions until you take the test.”
