I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

215.1st Grade, 2nd Semester, Thank You for Your Hard Work! (Complete)

“…Harpas is dead?”

“That’s right. Agares.”

When the subordinate confirmed Harpas’ death again, the man frowned and tapped the glass he was holding with his finger.

It was a habit he usually did when something unexpected or something he didn’t like happened.

“Hehe, I never thought that crow would be killed in a land like this~”

“Yeah, that’s really fun.”

The bright red wine in the glass fluttered back and forth following the gestures of the young man.

The man looked out the window for a while, then elegantly lifted the glass and brought it to her mouth. Very slowly, the contents of the glass disappear into the man’s mouth.

He set her glass down on the table and looked at Sitri, who was smiling across from her. She with beautiful silver hair looked at the man as if she was amazed that Harpas was dead.

“Who really killed it?”

“From what I heard, he was the escort knight of this university’s saint.”

“Escort knight~?”

Sitri opened her eyes wide and looked at the nobleman sitting across from her in surprise. The man dressed in fancy clothes looked out the window, specifically at the imperial capital visible in the distance.

Nothing could be seen on the dark ecliptic except for the occasional lights, but at least for him it was like daylight.

For the devil, darkness was his companion for the rest of his life.

“We might need to revise the plan.”

“Hmm~ I hope it doesn’t go astray as much as possible. “I put in so much effort.”

“I can’t guarantee that.”

“Ugh, why bother~ Should I go kill that guard knight right now~?”

The silver-haired woman, who spat out a bloody sentence in a tingling voice, stood up from her seat. Since the minimum information exchange was over, there was no need to be here anymore.

“Then I’ll go~ Take care of yourself~”

“Hide like a dead rat for a while.”

“That’s not my taste~”

‘Troublesome bitch.’

Agares glared at the closed door, then turned his head again to look out his window. Unlike his calm-looking face, his mind, his was complicated.

‘…A human being who killed a devil.’

After all, luck is on the devil’s side.

Agares snapped his fingers, pondering the sudden variable.

Immediately, the subordinate who was quietly standing behind filled the wine bottle with wine.

“…Hey. Agares.”

“…What’s going on?”

“Why don’t we start investigating?”

“Do your research thoroughly. Everything from the past to personal connections.”

“I understand.”

The attendant’s body disappeared like fog dispersing. Agares sipped wine in the remaining room and began making plans again.

——————————-

“Then, the closing ceremony will begin now.”

In the distance, Principal Merlin can be seen standing on the podium and clearing his throat. I looked at that figure blankly and recited a few words in a voice that no one could hear.

“Status window.”

13 points.

One Harpas shot is 10 points.

After all, this means he is treated as the final boss of the first year, right? I heard it was worth it to catch it a year early. If I had waited until next year, I wouldn’t have been able to get those sweet 10 points, and then I would have had to struggle with somewhat lacking abilities in my second year.

Perhaps because of all the hard work, the architectural characteristics have developed.

Perhaps because the castle was destroyed and rebuilt so many times, the newly created characteristics had an A rank. At this level, we can now say that we can be as good at building as an architect.

And…God bless you.

It’s the Phoenix’s blessing. I received it myself and I know its effects, so there’s nothing to look at, but what is the blessing written in that alien language? I stared at the words in the alien language, but couldn’t get any hints.

The text wasn’t painted over or had noise in it, but it was written purely in an alien language, so it was natural. I took my attention away from the unknown guardian and looked at the letters written in white letters at the bottom.

13 points.

If you invest all of these points into one skill, even an A-rank skill will go up by more than one level.

What should I take?

I had to choose carefully as I didn’t know how many points I had to pour in to rank up, but since I still had 13 points, it seemed possible to get an A+ even if I couldn’t.

Because I don’t think I’ll spend 20 or 30 points to raise half the rank.

Well, actually there is only one choice.

Production.

A skill that is fundamental to me.

Without hesitation, I tried to put my finger on the production skill, but withdrew my hand again.

Is it once or twice that I acted without thinking and ended up in trouble? We should not let our guard down just because the situation is much better. The unknown guy who immediately handed over this status window to me also did his best to block Phoenix from talking about my last name.

“There was a lot going on… “

I listened to Principal Merlin’s voice in one ear and out the other, and scanned the status window again.

Nothing has changed. There are no variables.

Only after I was sure of that did I click on the production skill.

[Would you like to invest points in production?]

Of course.

I slowly invested attribute points into production skills one by one.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

…Heat.

Production: A+

10 points for half rank. So, does that mean that S rank requires more investment?

Then, let’s leave 3 points for now.

“…I hope you all sharpen your weapons during the summer break.”

Is it finally over? I looked at the brightening faces of the students and uncrossed my arms. Now that the closing ceremony is over, all that remains is to take the guests back to Yeomyeonggwan.

I got up from my seat and opened my mouth to the group of students approaching me.

“Did you sleep well?”

“I didn’t sleep!”

“Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth.”

“Oh.”

I took her her handkerchief her from her her arms her her and pretended to wipe Milia’s her mouth her her, putting her slightly twisted head back in place and pulling up her her band her of her her. Millia sensed the meaning of my actions and whispered to me with her contemplative face.

“Oh, you wouldn’t have been caught, right?”

“Maybe.”

Even if you get caught, just pretend it’s okay. Unless someone knocks her head off and sends it flying. You can argue that the head moves at a weird angle, but if the head falls off at all, it’s bound to be checkmate.

“Hehe, Sir Quartz takes good care of Miss Millia.”

“Because he is the guardian.”

I naturally held onto her arm and stroked Milia’s head as she closed to me. It’s really cute that she acts like a puppy, but I feel like other people’s gaze is a bit of a burden, so I wish she would stop.

This is an auditorium, so it’s overflowing with students.

“Hehe.”

“Miss Millia seems to really like Lord Quartz.”

“They are almost like her parents.”

She paid her tuition while running dungeons, and sometimes tied her hair and made her toys when she had time, so I guess I’m actually a father to Milia.

Thinking like that made me feel strange.

I’m still a virgin, but I’m still a father.

I am not the Virgin Mary.

Oh, in this case, is it John, the virgin?

Thinking about it that way makes me feel sad. I also want to try dating comfortably. Even though I have a scary-looking body, isn’t it pretty good for me?

You’re 19 years old, so honestly speaking, you’re young, right?

“John?”

“…What’s going on? Karina.”

“Wow, you’re smiling so fiercely…”

I immediately looked at Karina with a stern, serious, and solemn face. Karina said with a small laugh, probably because it was fun.

“I think this is the first time I’ve seen John smile like that.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, this is my first time seeing it too, I saw it…”

“Do you think that even the bride who swore her love would run away on the wedding day? Well, I don’t run away when I see your face her her her her, but… “

What kind of face did you get that reaction?

“I like that look too!”

Yes, thank you, Millia.

“Oh, everyone, if you gather here, it will be a hindrance to traffic, so why don’t we go outside and talk?”

“Martina!”

“Oh my, Miss Millia. “Are you still attached to Lord Quartz today?”

When Maman, or Martina’s warm gaze her her her, landed on Milia, Milia smiled mischievously and nodded.

“Yes!”

“Everyone is here!”

“Hello.”

“Now we’re all together.”

“Everyone came together.”

Everyone nodded at Karina’s words.

“I’m looking forward to the end-of-semester party!”

“Hehe, I prepared a delicious dish, so you can look forward to it.”

Karina answered with a soft smile.

“Then shall we go?”

Karina was the first to take her steps.
