I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 98

‘I’m living life really hard.’

Ruid’s steps back to the academy were very light.

I feel like I did something very productive for the first time since being possessed.

‘I have grown.’

It felt like a helpless unemployed person getting a job for the first time.

I feel like I am making a huge contribution to this society.

“Luid!”

I ran into Hersi at the main gate of the academy. Sweat was beading on my forehead.

The fox sitting on Hercy’s head raised her pale hand and waved it. It seems that Miho sensed that he was coming and dragged him along.

“hi. Hersy.”

“Where on earth have you been?”

Ruid tilted his head.

“I came back to rescind the imperial order.”

“I know that. The academy is in a lot of commotion right now because the official letter has been sent. I mean….”

It had been 7 days since the official letter arrived.
It was the time when Ruid returned to the academy.

“Amelia was worried.”

‘Has it already happened like that?’

In fact, Ruid did not return right away.
Of course, the imperial palace was spacious.
I had to rely solely on my legs to walk, but there was no way Ruid could withstand that.

So, as soon as I parted ways with the emperor, I sat down on the floor and slept for a bit.

When I woke up, I walked a few steps, but once I rested, I wanted to continue resting.
…So it took a week to get from the imperial palace to the academy.

“…I expected that, but you’re too lazy.”

“But I did my job properly. “They said the official document arrived properly.”

“That’s actually it.”

Hercy said with an embarrassed expression.

“There is a problem.”

“problem?”

Hercy laughed awkwardly.

“It would probably be quicker to see it in person.”

**

“Awaken! “Awaken!”

“Academy, wake up!”

“Stop oppressing the common people!”

“This is not just!”

‘What is this.’

Ruid rubbed his eyes with Hercy’s robe.
An unbelievable sight was happening before my eyes.

“Vice President Phenicia terminated Damon’s disciplinary action as soon as the Emperor’s name was revoked. According to the principle, penalty points should be given, but the common people stood up for ignoring it.”

Ruid asked out of genuine curiosity.

“Is it okay for a commoner to do that?”

“The first emperor’s will included ‘freedom of assembly.’”

‘How far have you gone? The first emperor!’

Ruid was astonished.

“Are you looking at me because I’m the imperial family?”

“The Academy—expel Damon Kairos!”

“I can’t live like this!”

For reference, Justin was at the forefront of the rally crowd.
It was a long time since I had seen this face, but I was not happy at all.

“I tried many methods, but it doesn’t calm down easily. “Because commoners are also desperate.”

Damon really hates commoners.
Are you saying you don’t like the idea of installing something without knowing its subject?
Ruid couldn’t help but agree with those words. But on the other hand, I felt pity for Damon, who had tormented him so much that he would go to such lengths.

“Actually, commoners are not a problem.”

“…That?”

“There is something more terrible.”

Hercy cried.

“It’s harder to stop Prince Damon.”

“Yeah, really?”

Hersy is always calm.
But she was more emotional than ever.

“I tried to use large-scale magic every chance I got, saying I had to change my habits and all! “Your head is about to be blown off!”

Ruid felt like he could feel Hersi’s pain, so he patted Hersi.

“You had a hard time.”

Hersi blushed and answered calmly.

“thank you.”

“…So where is Damon now? “I thought you were going crazy because Hersy wasn’t there.”

“I sent it back to the villa. “I told him to stay there for a while until he calmed down.”

“Did Damon accept it obediently?”

“She said, ‘I wasn’t interested in the academy without my friends because it was boring, but this is a good offer, girl.’”

Hercy said, imitating Damon’s voice. Even though it automatically played in my head without me having to follow it.

“In the end, we succeeded in stopping Damon. Awesome Hersy. “If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.”

“…I couldn’t completely stop it.”

“huh?”

“Do you remember the Feather Thief?”

‘of course. He is the main character of this novel.’

When Ruid nodded, Hersy spoke as if he had been waiting.

“I ran into him on the way to the villa, and he punched me in the chin because I looked at him for more than three seconds.”

“…!”

“Besides that, there was some violence. Thanks to this, it was like adding fuel to the protests of the common people. That is the current situation.”

“Can’t we just ignore it?”

“But still. If this situation continues, it will be difficult. “Because I can’t teach.”

Ruid slowly opened his eyes.

That’s definitely troublesome.

‘It will definitely interfere with my nap.’

Above all, if things were left like this, it could not be said that Damon’s expulsion was completely prevented.

Ruid stepped forward. To be exact, I approached the commoner’s head, Justin.

“uh?”

“Prince Luid.”

“Are you really coming to negotiate?”

It was natural that the attention of the commoners was focused on Ruid.

If it were any other noble, they would have ignored them and shouted slogans, but Ruid was in a slightly different position.

A mysterious fairy who sleeps in the forest.
Sometimes I wake up and do strange(?) things, but it always felt like a ‘natural disaster’.

Moreover, unlike other nobles, he never harassed commoners, so he did not have a bad image among commoners.

Ruid stopped in front of Justin.

‘uh?’

Ruid blinked. I was a little surprised.

There is no smell. It looks like he’s been washing up well these days.

And, I felt that Justin’s skills had improved somewhat.

‘…How did your skills improve? There would have been no room for growth. Well… it doesn’t matter.’

It was good, Ruid, because as Justin’s skills improved, there would be less troublesome work.

Anyway, let’s get to the point.

“Noisy.”

“sorry.”

Justin paused as he spoke. It occurred to him that Ruid’s status had been changed to professor.

“I’m sorry, Professor.”

Justin said with a serious face.

“By the way, do you know anything about the recent situation?”

“huh. “I just heard it.”

“Then you know. We cannot back down.”

“right!”

Hercy glared at the commoner who had just shouted.
The commoner immediately lowered his tail and looked at the floor with a sullen expression.

“What are you dissatisfied with?” “Tell me exactly.”

“It makes no sense not to receive even one penalty point for this incident. Even if the commoners attacked first, the Academy has punished both sides. “This is against equity.”

“Are you dissatisfied with the fact that it goes against the rules?”

“…That’s right.”

‘Well said, I guess.’

Justin looked at Lloyd with an uncertain expression.
The difficult words I just said were ones that Catherine taught me through cramming. If someone asks you, answer logically.

“So it’s okay as long as you don’t break the rules?”

“yes? Ah, yes. By the way.”

“okay. I will make sure not to break the rules. “Then disperse now.”

“yes?”

Justin was confused.

‘Isn’t this it?’

Something was strange.
But I couldn’t refute Ruid’s words. Because it was true.

“…Hey guys. “Professor Ruid said he would solve the problem, so let’s step aside.”

As Justin spoke, taking off his headband, the commoners agreed with him.

They disappeared with a shocked look on their faces.

Hersy asked after the commoners had disappeared.

“Wow, this was a problem that could be solved so easily.”

“Of course. “Hersi only has a few powers.”

On the other hand, Ruid was in a position where he could do anything at the academy.
This is a position where empty checks can be issued excessively, and it will be difficult if one of these issues is not easily resolved.

“But… may I ask what it means to not break the rules?”

“We can create an academy where Damon can harass commoners.”

“Aha, yes.”

Hersy smiled brightly, but his expression gradually hardened.

“yes?”

Ruid smiled a little evilly.

‘Why didn’t I think of this earlier? I was thinking of making Damon the villain.’

Perhaps this was compensation for using Damon all this time.

“Hercy, have you ever heard of the leadership team?”

Let’s give it an appropriate cover.

**

Damon was sipping whiskey in the villa and looking at something with a serious expression.

A chessboard made of high-quality wood.
The words were intertwined on top of it.
Damon moved the horses. The enemy was himself, and the ally was also himself.

Damon usually enjoys playing chess.
Even when comparing something, I tend to liken it to chess.

Chess is life.
It is a measure of intelligence.

A commander who is not good at chess is a failed commander, and he cannot share insight with a noble who is not good at chess.

At first glance, the axis of the chessboard appeared to be tilted to one side, but upon closer inspection, it was taut.

Black’s pawns and rooks were all dead, but the queen was alive.

In White, the queen was dead, but the remaining pieces were alive.

The bishops of both formations are excluded.

Who has the advantage in this war?

Damon tapped the board with his fingers and spoke softly.

“Which side will you choose, brother?”

A chess beginner would look at this situation and say that black has the advantage. Because the most important ‘queen’ in chess is alive.

Anyone who knows how to play chess will say that White has the advantage. The most important piece in chess is the ‘pawn’, which refers to an ordinary soldier.

Any chess expert will tell you this. White has the advantage, but Black is also worth a try. It will depend on your skills.

Damon’s choice was simple.
White is the one who is stable, and Black is the one who can show off his skills.
Damon liked the latter.
What value is there in a stable life?
Endless challenges and achievements. That was the only device that made Damon move.
Above all—

“What is certain is that you chose white. Then I have no choice but to choose black. What is right is-”

Damon knocked King down.
It was the queen who defeated the king.
When he chose black, the only outcome in this game was that the queen won.

“You have to go to the end to find out.”

Although he said so, Damon’s expression was confident of victory.

Damon chuckled and placed the queen where he had removed the king.

“I’m betting on Irene Windsor.”

I’ve never thought of it like that before.
Today, the queen who took the king’s place looked very suitable.
