I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 30
[Now, wait a minute! Let’s talk for a moment!]
“Why are you so good at avoiding…!”
Ruid was swinging his spear back and forth. It was impossible to miss because he was controlling it not with his own power, but with magical power… but
the beads seemed to be predicting the future, and he did a good job of avoiding them.
[surrender! It’s surrender! Please listen to my story for a moment!]
“…Story?”
Ruid stopped swinging his spear for a moment. The beads buzzed.
[…Can you please take a look at it just once? I will be locked away for about 200 years.]
Ruid shook his head.
“What do I believe in you?”
[Uh, I’ll make a promise…!]
“I didn’t even notice you were there. Will the covenant work? And then.”
Even though it hadn’t happened yet, Ruid knew what Lark was doing.
“You are a villain.”
[Ah, a villain! It’s not even possible!]
Lark’s bead rang loudly as if he was truly being wronged.
[I am a good spirit! It’s unfair!]
“A spirit?”
[That’s right! I am a spirit! A great spirit!]
‘You sound like a great spirit.’
Lark, a wizard who wanted to live forever.
The many evil deeds he committed were passed down to the present generation.
He killed a million people to get the blood of a child, or did terrible things because he needed the soul of a virgin.
Even though Ruid is the type of person who doesn’t care if something comes out, whether it’s a demon lord or a hero, it’s right to clean up trash that smells bad because it’s dirty.
[It’s true! I am not that lich, Lark, but the familiar that Lark raised…]
“I see.”
[Do you believe me?]
Ruid nodded with an innocent face.
“huh. of course. “But I have one question…”
Ruid dropped the spear on the ground as if he had no intention of attacking anymore.
[yes! Please tell me anything!]
Ruid looked into the distance for a moment.
“So…”
He gathered his ocean-like magical power into his fingertips. I imagined the falling spear piercing the marble.
“Actually, there is no such thing.”
Phew!
The spear, which moved in an instant, pierced the marble.
“Eok,” the bead split.
“You know from the beginning, you said out loud that you were Lark, right?”
[….]
Lark’s voice, which had been speaking vividly just a moment ago, could not be heard.
Purple smoke leaked out from the broken beads.
Ruid silently stretched out his hand.
Thoroughly separate waste.
That is a model citizen.
“Dirty soul, be purified and pay for your sins.”
Pure white light burst out from the tips of Ruid’s fingers.
A dragon in the shape of a spread of light came out and swallowed Lark’s orb in smoke.
Ah!
White light flowed from the dragon’s snort.
Ruid lowered his hand.
Unlike before, the beads were pure white instead of purple.
Ruid nodded with a proud face.
“Repent.”
…For some reason, I wanted to play the role of a saint who saved humanity at least once.
“Now then, let’s play with the fox again.”
Ruid smiled peacefully and lifted the fox up to touch its face. The white fur was itchy, but it felt good.
But then.
Jeok-!
“…!”
The fox bit the marble behind it. The bead that was half-split and floating in the air fell into the fox’s mouth.
It happened so quickly that there was no time to do anything.
Ruid hastily shook the fox.
“Well, that’s Jiji, Jiji. “Spit it out.”
“Kang, kang!”
But there was no way the fox could understand what people were saying.
Ruid quickly opened the fox’s mouth and tried to pull it out.
“Well, I feel unfair. Did you see it? Even with that enormous purification magic, there was no damage at all. “It means I’m not a bad spirit.”
“….”
Ruid froze with his hand in the fox’s mouth.
“—!”
Ruid was surprised at the timing and dropped the fox.
Just now, the fox spoke.
The fox bowed as low as possible in front of Ruid.
The tail swayed gently.
“Ha, please save me just once… I swear to be loyal to you for the rest of my life!”
Ruid’s eyes were filled with shock and fear.

Hersi takes class with good posture.
This is because I believe that you can become a good wizard only if you have clean conduct and demeanor.
“Today’s class will end here. “Hercy Minerva, thank you for always coming to take my classes where I am lacking.”
What Hercy is taking is a liberal arts class.
It was [Common sense for everyday life using magic]. Learn general common sense, such as simple construction, camping, and farming.
As a result, it is a very unpopular subject, and it is rare for high-ranking nobles like Hersi to come to take classes. Since the professor himself is a commoner, that factor also played a role.
Did he come here to laugh at himself or simply to kill time?
Although I had those concerns, Hersy’s attitude toward class was very good. After just one class, I was able to tell that she was really interested in this subject.
Hersi smiled brightly, got up and bowed.
“No, I am more grateful to you for always giving me useful common sense.”
“I don’t know what to do with my help to Lady Minerva. “It is the happiest moment in my teaching career.”
Hercy made a humble expression. In fact, if it were my original self, I would have thought it was ‘pathetic’ to waste my time in a place like this.
There was only one reason for her to take this class: Ruid.
Ruid usually kills himself at the lake in Delrin. Everything seemed familiar to him. Sleeping and eating –
but since he had spent his whole life receiving help from others, he couldn’t help Ruid even if he wanted to. Hercy was concerned about that. That’s why I came to take this class.
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
After class, Hersy’s steps toward Delrin’s lake were light.
I always feel good when I go to Ruid, but I was especially looking forward to it today.
A cute arctic fox picked up from an auction house.
It would be nice to play with Ruid even when he was sleeping, and more than anything, it was so cute that Hersy liked it.
‘Have you decided on a name already?’
The moment he stepped into the forest,
Hercy felt a tremendous amount of magical power and his eyes widened.
This magical power was so great that it could be distinguished even in the dense lake of Delrin.
“eye…?”
Hercy absentmindedly stretched out his hand in the air. The snow melted as it touched my palm.
“Ah, weather manipulation magic…”
Gulp. Hersi’s neck moved.
What level of weather magic is it?
I think it’s probably around the 11th rank…
I guess that’s the magic Ruid used.
Amazing, unbelievable magic.
However, Hercy soon had no choice but to nod.
‘Because it’s Luid.’
She walked happily again.
There was about an inch of snow, and at this rate, it wouldn’t take long for it to pile up to a foot.
“Did it make it snow because it was an arctic fox? “Lude is cute.”
Hersy laughed bitterly. I felt like I knew what he was thinking. Isn’t this something we’ve become quite familiar with?
“Luid!”
It had finally arrived. Hersi waved his hand as he cleared away large leaves. This was because I felt a strong magical power and was confident that I would be awake.
“You get out of there!”
“Kang, kang!”
“Get away from my fox right now!”
“Lou, Louis…?”
The arctic fox was running steadily across the pure white snow. After that, Ruid chased after him with a cane.
Hersi’s head tilted.
‘…Are you playing tag?’
Soon he shook his head.
‘You’re playing.’
As a result of spending time with Ruid, telekinesis magic was as natural to him as breathing.
It seemed like he was chasing me without using magic on purpose. Hercy looked at the two with a happy smile.
The running white cotton ball was also a cotton ball, and Ruid, who ran in circles and chased after the fox, was quite cute.
‘Of course cute is the best.’
It was a moment to look at it with joy.
“Save me, human!”
The fox spoke and jumped towards Hersi.
Hercy, who received the white fox on her buttocks, blinked.
The fox trembled and opened his mouth.
“Do, if you help me, I won’t forget this favor!”
Hercy slowly shook his head and denied reality.
“…lie.”
“It’s not a lie! “Please take me and run away!”
At that time, Ruid was panting and pointed his staff at the fox.
“Hold on tight. Because my fox is possessed by an evil spirit…!”
Hercy’s eyes were spinning.
I felt dizzy.

After finishing a tiring day today, the emperor entered the bedroom wearing comfortable clothes.
The emperor’s work is hard.
A tight schedule that is difficult for an individual to handle.
If you don’t relieve stress properly, you won’t be able to survive.
That is why each successive emperor had his own hobbies.
Some people like leisure, entertainment, and dinner. Drinking alcohol.
And the 8th Emperor Lucius enjoys videos.
Every day, I lie comfortably in bed with my favorite red wine and cheese, float a crystal ball, and observe someone’s life.
What I’m mainly interested in is ordinary life. A day in the life of a woman or the life of a farmer. I fall asleep while observing the lives of many people.
And today we have something a little special. That’s right, the video of Ruid’s briefing session that I’ve been watching since he was a baby.
The emperor half-reclined on the bed with a wide smile. I poured wine into a glass, took a sip, and then played the video.
“Guy, indeed.”
The emperor looked at Ruid in the crystal ball with a satisfied expression.
I heard a report from the academy president that Ruid decided to fully open his briefing theory for the public good.
Although it seemed like everything was bothersome, I really like the distribution of theories that are made public for the public good.
“You work surprisingly hard. “Wow, I’m already thinking about what to prepare for my birthday present.”
This will further develop the empire’s magical academia. He is a beautiful child as long as he grows up healthy and well. I never thought he would grow up so well.
Inside the crystal ball, Ruid raised his tiptoes and drew a magic circle. The emperor laughed.
“haha! “I should have invited you as a professor instead of a student.”
The emperor watched the video with satisfaction.
However, at some point, my eyebrows became more and more frowned.
“What on earth is there so much dissatisfaction with?”
“what? “Can only nobles use it?”
“No, then aren’t the magical achievements they’ve been able to achieve for hundreds of years a matter of effort?”
“Hey, I think he’s the one who tried the hardest in this world.”
The emperor was angry as if it were his own business.
I didn’t like commoners who found fault for no reason.
“That, that, that, until the end.”
The emperor clicked his tongue.
Ruid made a gesture to conclude the briefing session.
“Well, is it already over? “The video is short.”
The emperor sighed in regret.
But then.
-Ruthless! You lowly lowlife!
“…Damon?”
The emperor opened his eyes wide and snapped his fingers. The screen rotated to illuminate the back seat.
A dissatisfied commoner collapsed. Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like Damon had used magic.
“…Sometimes being an asshole can be helpful.”
The emperor himself knew best that Damon was an asshole.
On the contrary, I thought it was brave that it ended like that. Because it was much better than usual.
-Whose side do you think His Majesty will take?
Damon scowled at the president. The emperor also nodded.
“It was useful this time, Damon.”
The emperor illuminated Ruid again. At that time, Ruid looked at the crystal ball and said.
-I will speak directly to His Majesty the Emperor. Damon ruined my presentation.
“….”
The emperor, who had been watching this silently, roared in anger.
“Is there no one there?”
The servant who was waiting hurriedly came in.
“Boo, did you call me?”
“Call Damon now! I’m going to give him a hard scolding!”
