99 – Retrieval (1)

The midterm exams, which were amazing in many ways, are over. In the end, it was Kara who won and her team got a good score.

On the other hand, the Grace team, especially Sivar, had to be evaluated very vaguely.

Even if eating the artifact was an accident, the other parts were dangerous in many ways.

This had an impact even after the test was over, and of course it was inevitable that the Lord would hear it.

“Let’s see… Starting with water torture by hanging students upside down, forced drop-off, bomb vests, arson, and indiscriminate bombing with oil? What is this again?”

“That’s…”

At Lord’s indifferent question, Marlboro was at a loss and began to notice.

In the president’s office, that is, in the main building’s office, not only Marlboro but also other professors were sitting side by side.

Sarah, Lee Yeon-hwa, Godin, etc. All of them were professors in charge of the class Shibar belonged to.

Marlboro looked at her, then sighed inwardly, and she brought out her answer to Rod’s question.

The more he continued his explanation, the more Rod’s eyebrows twitched and his face hardened.

“Huh, really… I don’t know if I should call it great or clever. Even though I gave it the right to attack?”

“Yes, it is.”

Kikki-

Rod listened to Marlborough’s answer and leaned back in his chair. He made a faint noise as the chair moved gently.

Rod looked up at the ceiling in that state for a while, lost in thought. It’s a complex expression that anyone can see.

The more so, the professors burned in real time. My palms were drenched in sweat from the tension.

“······Very few accidents can be prevented with my line. It’s just that I can roughly say it.”

“··· ···”

“But this… I can’t help it. Have any students gone to the hospital for mental problems?”

“Yes… Yes. Many students said that they felt like they were drinking water through their nose.”

“It’s a very common side effect.”

It is true that it is a common side effect. However, it is a problem because the aftereffects are not easy.

That’s why Rod answered in a somewhat sarcastic way. He himself, as well as numerous professors, have had this after-effect.

If I had to give an example, the act of reacting with amazement when I put my hand on my shoulder. This behavior is one of those aftereffects.

“If it had been the students who were at fault first, and not Sivar, I would have defended them. Although Sivar has had accidents, he has rarely harmed anyone.”

“··· ···”

“But what the hell is this? It’s been like this for 3 months due to the restriction on the right to attack. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have gotten the final approval when signing the contract.”

Lord is the president of the academy, but he has very little authority. In particular, things related to exams are at the level of letting go.

I was politically free with Rize, but ironically, I couldn’t get involved in politics easily.

In this situation where the world situation is going badly, if even Rod takes one side, the situation will be twisted.

“Especially this bomb vest part. If I had been from Santia, I would have protested violently because I was fed up. Aren’t you guys well aware of Santia’s situation?”

“······Yes. I know that terrorist attacks by the revolutionary army are frequent.”

“I’m glad you know me well. Umm…”

Rod let out a sigh as he checked the report again. Shibar had an accident less than three days after he officially entered school.

Of course, it’s a test out of the Lord’s hands, so there’s nothing you can do about it. But in his eyes, it seemed twisted from the beginning.

‘It’s an academy where fairness and fairness are the principles, but limit the right to attack? That’s funny.’

The first and foremost is the restriction of the right to attack, which can be said to be the source of all evil. In order to be fair and fair, they were all destroyed.

Above all, it didn’t have a big effect. Far from being effective, it only highlighted Sivar’s cleverness and genius.

Because no one taught him about the eccentricities he committed. I mean, it’s the only way you figured it out.

Even impromptu. Although there was time, these ideas were devised only on the spot.

‘What the spirit creature said was true.’

Squirrel, said Ratatosque. Sivar says his body is so good that he doesn’t use his head.

When he heard that, he thought it was so, but it was all true.

‘When he was living in the woods, he must have set all sorts of traps. He must have rolled his head to deal with a beast stronger than himself.’

The reason why humans who are weak enough to survive in the wild is clear. Great intelligence and endurance.

With just those two things, humans could survive in the wild and build a civilization, even if it wasn’t magic.

It must have been the same with Sivar. Even if you can’t build a civilization because you were alone, you can’t survive in the wild if you’re not smart.

‘Fortunately, I didn’t use the thunderbolt?’

Looking at the report, it seems that he didn’t realize that Sivar uses red magic. It seemed to reduce his output to the maximum.

If he had even used a thunderbolt, he would have noticed that Shivar’s magical power was strange. This is good news out of misfortune.

Of course, that doesn’t mean his accident will be settled. Moreover, the victims are students who have a great relationship with the nobility.

‘I’m sure I’ll be aware of it, if not protest.’

There are still many people paying attention to Shibar. From today, a different meaning of fame seemed to spread.

There is virtually nothing Rod can do here. I have no choice but to work hard on my back.

“······You guys should write up a letter of resignation. The responsibility itself is going to be asked of Delphi, who exercised its authority. The same goes for the professors who sympathized with him.”

“Thank you for your generosity.”

The professors, including Marlborough, bowed their heads deeply and expressed their gratitude.

It was a situation that could have been complicated, but Rod was able to breathe a sigh of relief by giving his mercy.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s completely resolved. There are a lot of problems that still exist.

“Then, what are you going to do with the final exams? I hope that this situation will be fixed as a starting point.”

“Originally, the final exams were occupation battles. Divided into two teams and captured several districts.”

“Before occupation…”

The Conquest War is divided into two teams, as Marlboro explained.

You win by capturing all areas or capturing more areas before the time limit runs out.

Basically, it is a structure that is bound to be a melee, and it is a method in which joy and sorrow come and go according to the strategy.

“Are you going to limit Sivar’s attack power at this time as well?”

“Absolutely not. Professors in other classes won’t be able to exercise their powers with this incident.”

Other professors sympathized with Delphi at first, limiting Sivar’s range of attacks.

However, when the incident broke out, they turned the responsibility back to Delphi, as if they sensed that they had been f*cked.

It could have been a bit unfortunate for Delphi, but what can I do? You have to pay the price for failing in politics.

From noble mtl dot com

For professors including Marlborough, this is a blessing in disguise. With this incident as an opportunity, there will be little interference with Sivar.

Even if there is interference, it will be fine if Shivar causes an accident. He just needs to place the blame on the person who interfered the moment he had an accident.

“Then I’m glad. Please adjust the final exams well.”

“I’ll be careful.”

“Oh. And Godin.”

“Yes?”

Godin opened his eyes slightly wide at Rod’s call and was taken aback. He has an expression that he didn’t know he was going to name.

“You should consult with Sivar. Since Sivar has officially entered the school, it seems that if I consult with him, he will talk a lot.”

“Uh… I understand.”

“Okay. Anything else?”

“Yes. No.”

“Then let’s go to each other’s business.”

At Lord’s command, the professors each stood up and greeted each other politely.

Professors rushing out the door after. Rod looked at it, then moved his gaze back to the report.

The report details what kind of eccentricity Sivar committed. There were more than 3 records per student.

‘How did you get the artifact?’

The torture and the bomb vest were also noticeable, but the digestion of the artifact was absurd.

How good is his digestion power, can he even digest artifacts? Although the artifact itself is made of brittle material, it was too fast.

‘It’s fortunate that it’s a cheap artifact.’

It doesn’t matter if the artifact is broken. It was a one-time artifact made to be broken in the first place.

What I’m worried about is Sivar’s physical condition. Even if it is disposable, an artifact is an item containing numerous magic circuits.

Eating this is something I’m full of energy, but I couldn’t help but worry because even the digestion was clean.

‘I’m sure it’ll be okay since Rize is by my side, but I’m glad it didn’t explode.’

Artifacts are elaborately crafted items that can explode.

Of course, the artifact produced for the test is disposable, so the risk of explosion is extremely low.

However, this is destroyed when you give it a ‘shock’, not made to dissolve it with gastric juice.

‘It sets a good precedent in many ways.’

What kind of eccentricity will you commit in the future? Rod smiled and turned to the next page.

It wasn’t about the exam, it was a report about the current state of the academy.

“Hmm?”

Then there was something trodden in Rod’s eye. It’s none other than the forest of chaos.

The Forest of Chaos is where Shivar and Ratatosque lived. Because of this, I had to keep an eye on it.

[Currently, major changes are occurring in the Forest of Chaos. A number of beasts and monsters are coming out of the forest of chaos, so it seems necessary to investigate.]

[It is presumed that most of the beasts and monsters driven outside were pushed out by ‘competition’. Looking at this, it is estimated that the beast or monster belonging to the top layer of the food chain has disappeared […]

“··· ···”

Rod looked at the report and squeezed his brow. I could roughly guess what was going on.

Sivar and Ratatosque reigned as top predators in the deepest part of the forest of chaos.

But since they suddenly disappeared, there must have been great confusion in the food chain. By now, there would be no fuss over territorial disputes.

In the aftermath, the monsters and beasts that were defeated in the competition were pushed out of the outskirts. It seemed that sooner or later we would have to set up an investigation team.

‘Did students say that the outskirts of the Forest of Chaos would be investigated…’

I have a strong hunch that another incident will happen here. Especially since it’s Shivar.

Smart tok tok-

[President. This is Delphi. May I come in?]

Delphi knocked while Rod was going through the report. He could tell from his voice that he was nervous.

“Come in.”

Kikki-

As soon as Lord gave permission, Delphi cautiously opened the door and came in.

The bobbed hair that didn’t suit her was still the same, but her expression was as low as her confidence.

Afterwards, when Rod told him to sit down, Delphi cautiously sat down. There was tension on his face.

“Yes.”

Now, there is only one thing left.

“What do you think about this situation?”

It’s time to take responsibility.

*****

On the other hand, Shiva at that time…

“Is it delicious?”

“Yes.”

“Tell me if you want something else. Would you like some ice cream?”

“Choco!”

“Chocolate ice cream? Okay.”

Whether or not anyone’s stomach exploded, they were getting sweet food from Kara.
