I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 85

A mansion owned by Minerva.
One girl lived here, the largest villa in the islands.
The girl is the owner of this mansion. Hercy Minerva, successor to the Minerva family.

Her room was filled with dizzying magic circles and various books.
In a place where there was no room to step, Hersy was lying on the bed.

“I can’t see Ruid these days.”

Hersi muttered sadly as he lifted the fox by its armpits.

[…It looks like you’re busy these days. The amount of magical power used is overwhelmingly higher than usual.]

“I guess so…? Because I’m going to Windsor. To Ruid, the academy already means nothing. “I’m sure you’ve already forgotten about me.”

The cause of Hercy’s depression was Louis.
Recently, Ruid has been out of nowhere. He was often away from home and did not come to the academy.

There was a rumor that he had been seen once at the academy’s swordsmanship center, but seeing as he never showed his face, his existence may have already been forgotten.

[That can’t be possible!]

“…But, you never came to see me.”

[No way.]

Miho trembled slightly.

[There’s no way you’ve forgotten me.]

“…You’re anxious too.”

Hersi hugged Miho.

“Still, I’m glad Miho is there. “I don’t feel lonely.”

[Doesn’t Hersi have any friends?]

“…Could you please refrain from saying things that hurt so casually?”

Hercy Minerva.
She was not an easy character.

I have always maintained the position that I cannot become friends with the Minerva family if I am not a suitable person.

Even if we became friends, we kept our distance. There was no one I liked, and people of high status treated each other cautiously.

It’s common for minor disputes to turn into family affairs.

However, after meeting Ruid, her personality changed.
Hersy, who always thought of the bad first, became more positive, and she, who usually did not tolerate other people’s mistakes, was able to smile and move on.

But recently.
I was feeling depressed because I felt like I had become distant from Ruid.

“Being with the fairies of Delrin was like a dream. “It was a good time.”

[Oh, you speak like a person who has lived for a long time.]

Miho said to Hersi to comfort her.

[Hersi has been busy these days too. He probably didn’t want to disturb you. It’s exam period. I heard that the test is very important to Hersi.]

“…Yes. that’s right. Actually, I don’t have time to be depressed like this. “I need to study even for one more minute.”

[Why is Hersi so obsessed with studying? In my opinion, the only person who can get a higher score than Hersi is the master.]

Hersi’s expression darkened for a moment, but only for a moment. She answered brightly.

“Why not fall behind? Even so, he is the only heir to the Minerva family.”

I tried to act cheerful, but a bitter aftertaste remained.

Suddenly, what Ruid said came to mind.

-Hersi, do you have any worries?

I said I wasn’t there at the time to show a bright side, but there’s no way a person without worries exists.

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

‘…I don’t want to be hated.’

The Minerva family was a thoroughly competitive system.

Succession is determined by ability, not by eldest son.

That’s why she was able to become the heir even though she had two older brothers.

Because Hercy was the best.

But, that wasn’t what she wanted.

‘I didn’t want to be a successor or something.’

Hersi had two older brothers and two younger brothers.

When I was young, Hersi was a very pretty person. I especially got along well with my older brothers. I thought Hersi was very cute.
Exactly, until the age of 5.

-Hercy Minerva is appointed as Minerva’s successor.

The Minerva family is evaluated for its skills.

The head of Minerva recognized that Hersy was the most outstanding and appointed her as his successor.

From then on, my relationship with my older brothers, who I was close with, soured.

It wasn’t that he openly hated himself, but even at a young age, I could sense that he was reluctant towards himself.

This was due to an inferiority complex that he felt was pushed out by his much younger brother, but young Hersi was pure.

-‘If I work harder, my brothers will like me again.’

I made a wrong choice.
Hersi worked hard from that day on.
I worked hard in everything I did and didn’t act foolishly.
All of that was done to impress my brothers.

Hersy, who was already talented, achieved remarkable growth when he combined his efforts.

Although his skills improved noticeably, his relationship with his family did not improve at all.

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

Hersi still can’t forget what he heard then.

-Unlucky year.

I flinch.

Hercy opened her eyes.

“…When did morning come?”

I think I probably fell asleep.

Miho was fast asleep between his legs.

Hercy smiled faintly and patted Miho. The arctic fox’s fur was very soft and warm.

After taking a deep breath, she stood up carefully.

It’s time to go to the academy.

**

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

The mouth was tightly shut, and the eyes were hard.

take a step I looked around. I see students moving around busily. The magical power was spread thinly and widely.

Ruid was now thinking about the worst thought of his life.

‘Where do you sleep?’

I thought as I hugged the pillow.

A gift to yourself for working hard.
I couldn’t sleep at Delrin’s lake like usual.

You will get the best sleep in the best place. Even if I couldn’t do it, I had to find the best sleeping spot, which was like the rooftop of a cathedral.

Ruid ran towards the place that suddenly occurred to him.

‘It’s here.’

My eyes sparkled.
Purdy green grass. Dew had formed on the grass, which was gently swaying in the wind, thanks to how well it was taken care of.

This grass bed seemed to be of better quality than Delrin’s lake, so it was already a place in Ruid’s memory.

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

“hmm?”

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

In addition, because of its beautiful atmosphere, it is often used as a date course. Besides Damon, many students were having fun.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you. “Has the Knights’ work ended well?”

“huh.”

Damon slapped the woman’s arm away and approached him.

‘And character.’

It was surprising every time I saw it. It’s not enough to blatantly cheat on his fiancée, who is fine. That’s his attitude.

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

“How do you know?”

“Don’t you know? “Half of my house was frozen.”

“Ah…”

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

Ruid was sorry.

“Do you want me to melt it for you?”

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

‘Damon, you’re a real man.’

One mentality is acceptance.

Ruid slowly got to the point.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“ask?”

“I’m going to repair the barrier, so please get out of the way.”

“Border repair?”

“huh.”

Ruid touched the air with a genuine expression.

A complex thread of magic has materialized.

“joy.”

Damon snorted.

“Seeing as you were carrying a pillow, it looks like you are looking for a place to take a nap.”

“….”

“There’s no need to lie to me. I really liked the new spear you gave me. Well, that’s good. “I’ll get out of the way.”

Damon snapped his fingers.

The attention of the students who were secretly watching this direction was drawn.

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

After saying those words, Damon put his hands in his pockets and walked away.

Other students followed suit. I bowed to Ruid and said hello.

In less than 5 minutes, the place was empty. After all, the person who was once a prince is different no matter what.

‘I’ll give you a gift later.’

Ruid took out a tree from subspace.

I cut it into squares using magical power and wrote on it.

[Under construction! No entry allowed!]

I put a wooden signboard near the entrance and took a seat in a sunny spot. I threw the pillow.

I’m ready for a nap.

‘Should I just sleep for 20 hours first?’

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

“Invisible ability.”

I casted a spell I had developed in advance.
It was a magic that combined a super-powerful cognitive inhibition function and an invisibility function.

‘Okay, perfect. This way, no one will disturb you.’

Ruid slowly closed his eyes.

It was a lazy afternoon.

**

[Under construction! No entry!] Behind the main building, which was quiet thanks to the construction sign,

there was a man and woman standing there in the ‘Starlight Garden’ .

The man was glaring with his arms crossed, and the woman was lowering her head in front of the man.

They both had silver hair and emerald eyes, and by all accounts, they were family.

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

“Why did you call me here? Hersy.”

“Well, that is.”

Hercy looked at the floor with a red face.

Last evening, Hersy felt lonely.
She wanted to get her relationship with her family back on track.
So, in a place where no one was around because it was under construction, I called Klein, who was attending the academy.

It wasn’t easy because I once received harsh rejection.

Hersy stood here with great courage.

“Oh, brother.”

Hercy made a decision and raised his head. Hersy shivered when he met those cold eyes, but he wanted to move on.

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

“I’m really… sorry for all that time.”

“….”

“I got arrogant. I will be polite from now on. I will never disrespect you. It’s all my fault. I’ll try my best. Um, so… can’t we go back to being like before…?”

‘Ma, I said.’

It seemed as if the core that had been stored for a long time was melting away a little.

Hersi looked at Klein nervously.

However, Klein was still cold.

“How miserable are you going to make me?”

“…!”

Suddenly, Hersy’s hopes were dashed.

“If you are Minerva’s successor, put your personal feelings aside. And Hercy.”

Klein glared at Hercy as if he was chewing him out.

“At least respect me. “It’s an insult to say something like that to a competitor.”

“Well, that’s not it. Oh, brother.”

Where did I say something wrong?

Hercy didn’t know. However, I couldn’t give up this easily.

“Please, please know my sincerity. I don’t want to fight with anyone. “The successor will also quit if his brother quits.”

Klein’s eyes widened.

And soon, I was filled with great anger.

I raised my right hand.

‘Like this again…’

Hercy closed her eyes tightly.

However, Klein’s hand never touched his face.

“All of you.”

“…?”

Mumbling.

“Hi…!”

As soon as Hercy opened his eyes, he was startled and took a step back.

For some reason, Ruid had been staring at him.

And that too, while chewing blades of grass.

‘…The allowance ban hasn’t been lifted yet.’

That was Hercy’s impression after seeing Ruid for the first time in a long time.

“Lu, aren’t you Prince Luid? “It’s an honor to meet you.”

Klein, who had a cold expression, changed his attitude 180 degrees when he saw Ruid.

He said with a kind smile that he never smiled on himself.

“I still wanted to come see you. Confucius. My name is Klein Minerva. “I am the eldest son of the Minerva family.”

Klein extended his hand to shake. However, Ruid spoke without even looking at Klein’s hand.

“Hello, Hercy.”

Hercy had a blank expression on her face, but she answered reflexively.

“Good…morning, Luid.”

Klein’s expression hardened at the attitude of not caring about himself.

Ruid looked up at Hercy and clasped her hand.

“let’s go eat.”
