After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

12 – If you’re too good, you’ll be in trouble…

“No… Why is that?”

It’s detection magic. It’s something that could have misidentified just passing by.

Professor Rowen wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

It was clear that I was wrong.

“Huh?”

But it seemed clear.

The rabbit was moving this way.

It was the same no matter how many times I closed and opened my eyes.

I even started to see two people dragging a rabbit in front of me.

‘This shouldn’t be like this.’

In fact, the key to this exercise is by far that giant magic-resisting rabbit. The problem was that it was intended to be used not only for the students of the Ministry of Magic, but also for the practice of the students of the Ministry of Reconnaissance and Knights.

In Professor Rowen’s opinion, since he was a ‘magic resistance’ rabbit, he judged that he would be able to prevent the Ministry of Magic’s kids from taking advantage of the Knight’s practice.

But after the two children of the Ministry of Magic killed it, they even dragged the corpse back.

“……”

Professor Rowen kept his mouth shut.

‘I thought it would be possible to defeat Sharon of the Knights Club.’

That child’s swordsmanship is quite high even for Professor Rowen. He thought that his promotion to Ether next semester was confirmed, and that it would be enough to play active duty right away.

‘By the way, those kids, not Sharon?’

Does that mean that they are also students with Sharon’s abilities?

No. Why are those students in individual undergraduate classes? The academy gathers the best students in each field and manages them separately as [Ether] Classes.

‘No. It’s not important. How the hell did that student Mejai… Catch it?’

While Professor Rowen was so flustered.

The rabbit’s location was getting closer to the empty lot where the students were gathered.

Some students who found the rabbit were terrified.

“What is that?”

“…That crazy rabbit!”

“aaagh! They’re crawling this way!”

“Run away!”

Mejai students get up from resting in the shade and prepare to run away.

Professor Rowen sighed.

‘It’s the same class, but someone catches a monster and someone gets scared just by looking at its corpse.’

Of course, it’s only when you’re a student that you learn that spirit. It’s something you get used to after bumping into it over and over again.

However, the difference between a child who stands out from the beginning and a child who does not is huge.

Professor Rowen carefully watched the two figures approaching.

Only then did the two of them enter the eyes of the dropouts who had been paying attention.

“…What is it? All?”

“Isn’t that next to Ian?”

“What happened?”

“Did they catch the rabbit?”

“……”

“No way.”

A murmur followed.

Meanwhile.

— Coo!

Ian and Danya set the rabbit down in the clearing.

There was one peculiar thing.

The giant rabbit is a bit smaller than before.

A rabbit that seemed to be 4 meters tall was reduced by half. It was still big, though.

‘I didn’t expect washing dishes to be this effective.’

Ian exclaimed as he wiped his sweat.

A blue mushroom that grew on a rabbit’s head.

When I removed it, the rabbit’s mana completely disappeared. Danya says it doesn’t seem to be poisonous, but I tried bringing it.

A professor from the reconnaissance club will be able to accurately determine the rabbit’s condition.

‘So you’re saying there’s no need to worry about protein for the time being.’

It tastes like rabbit meat. It guarantees a stable taste similar to chicken, in power, in meat, and maybe even in companions.

It is a lot of practice that I have gained in many ways.

“Whoa, that’s hard.”

“A lot of meat will come out at this level! Churup.”

“I’ll talk to the professor and come back.”

Sweep. Looking around, Ian stood in front of Professor Rowen.

“Professor, there is something I want to ask your permission for.”

“…Permission?”

Professor Rowen was going to ask how he hunted it. However, I was dumbfounded by Ian’s sudden question.

“Yes. Can I eat any animals caught during practice?”

Ian’s question moved Rowen.

‘On-site procurement…!’

In general, reconnaissance units act with minimal armament and supplies. Therefore, the more you learn reconnaissance in depth, the greater the importance of ‘procurement’.

A good scout is someone who can continue his mission by procurement even in the most difficult field.

There are times when you have to eat anything or not to eat anything in the process, so this ‘procurement’ is one of the most mentally difficult and difficult tasks.

But these guys didn’t even teach it that far, but they want to learn it. Even the students of ‘Magical Studies’ who are as far away from ‘Reconnaissance Studies’ as the sky and the earth.

What a beautiful spirited student!

“You caught it. Of course it doesn’t matter if you eat it.”

“Then, Professor, do you think it’s okay to eat this?”

“You want to check if there is any poison and how it is.”

“That’s right.”

“This guy!”

To be honest, Rowen wanted to stroke Ian’s hair to the point of messing it up right now.

Just. Rowen’s concept is a rather serious professor, so I’m just patient.

‘Excellent.’

Where the hell is this wizard?

Perhaps the academy’s first scout wizard might be born!

“Professor?”

“hehehehe! Let’s go.”

Rowen continued her thoughts as she moved at Ian’s urging.

It’s not great for a wizard.

Among the students of the reconnaissance club, there is no child with this level of vitality. Rowen’s eyes as he looked at Ian began to be stained with greed.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“If you join my lab now, I’m giving you a discount on the academy’s tuition. It’s a rare opportunity.”

“……”

“Of course, the dormitory fee is included.”

Ian’s eyes trembled slightly from side to side.

‘Why does everyone do this when they see me?’

Do you have any other ideas about what kind of researcher you want to be? Well, it may be that Pongpong’s lavishness comes out.

“Huh. True. Of course, if you’re a student like you, we’ll cover all the textbook expenses. How come you don’t want to enter the lab?”

Ian’s face blurred.

Meanwhile.

Lina was walking alone at the edge of the forest.

In her head, Ian was already full.

‘Access failed.’

Thanks to that, I became alone like this.

But she is an elementalist.

She was somewhat familiar with the forest.

— Growling!

She was able to use the spirits to find the mana beads outside her without having to go deep.

– Again!

Of course, there was something else she was focusing on.

From noble mtl dot com

Ingredients scattered all over the forest.

Lina is also familiar with the forest, though it is not comparable to Danya, the beast. It was because her family had jurisdiction over a part of the Great Forest.

“hehehe, delicious…”

I will be alone without a crew. Even if you get caught, there will be an excuse. Lina, as usual, was eating everything she could eat without even noticing.

In fact, she didn’t even know that she would end up like this.

“Even if I didn’t strongly reject Ian’s lunch box, I really didn’t have to do this… No, what else did I think.”

Hwihwi shook her head, and Lina’s eyes caught the eye of high-end food ingredients.

“Mushrooms!”

It is a pretty colored blue mushroom.

“hehehe. Grilled mushrooms are delicious.”

If it’s poisonous, wouldn’t it be okay to roast it over a fire?

Actually, she used to be friendly with the forest, but Rina was a nobleman to the last. She had no experience in properly procuring food from the forest, as she was near the forest until her family was half ruined.

Moreover, Professor Rowen had already warned her about the blue mushroom, but at that time she was speechless at the shock of being intercepted by Ian Danya.

“Ifrit.”

Lina summoned the basic fire spirit.

“Can you bake this for me?”

Ifrit seemed hesitant.

Why is he like this?

“I’m hungry. Help me a little.”

Woe!

A mushroom turned to ashes.

“Ifrit, you! Why are you so mean. You haven’t been like that before. You’ve become a little strange too.”

Beee!

Lina sighed at the sight of the basic fire spirit disappearing and looked around her.

Because usually when there is one mushroom, there are more around it.

“Here it is.”

A little bigger blue mushroom this time.

Gulp.

Lina, who had lost her appetite, summoned another spirit this time.

A higher level spirit, a child who listens well.

“Please.”

— Fire!

Mushrooms grilled over a moderate flame.

The unique black scent of fresh mushrooms tickled the tip of my nose.

Lina took the mushroom to her mouth without hesitation.

“Mmm! It’s moist. The meat-like texture is so delicious!”

Yum yum.

Lina closes her eyes and savors the taste.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I haven’t eaten meat.’

Obviously Ian’s lunch box… No.

For now, let’s just focus on the flavor of this mushroom.

– Pong!

A little mushroom spores sprouted on top of her head.

It was difficult to tell them apart with the human eye.

Of course, Lina finished her meal without noticing.

“Hmm. Now let’s find some more magic orbs!”

Lina’s voice became brighter.

Actually, this ‘Basics of Reconnaissance and Search’ class is a credit vending machine class that Lina needs to get good grades.

Lina smiled in satisfaction as she found a few more magic orbs.

“This should be enough.”

◆

The official practice schedule is over.

“Now then, I will announce the results of the practice.”

She returned belatedly, and Lina, who didn’t know what had happened before, was looking forward to it.

‘I have to get first place here.’

Credit core subjects.

In order for Lina to maintain her dormitory qualifications, she must get good grades in subjects that allow her to use her spiritual skills effectively.

That’s how the scores are revealed one by one.

Lina’s face, which was her last step, gradually brightened.

“Next Lina. Five magic orbs. Excellent.”

“Thank you!”

Professor Rowen slightly frowned at Lina’s bright greeting.

“It’s a great story for a Mejai class. I expected it because I had a talent for spirits, but it’s a pity. If that’s the case, it will be difficult to promote to Ether. Keep working hard.”

“Ah…Yes!”

Lina answered with a bright smile.

However, unlike her appearance, she was infinitely embarrassed on the inside.

What the hell… Why?

Isn’t this the best you’ve done in Mejai?

“Danya 8 pieces. Ian 8 pieces. Besides, you raised an unexpected harvest. Hunting magic resistance rabbits. You guys got a perfect score in practice.”

“Eh, perfect score?”

Lina muttered involuntarily, then she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Danya, and Ian got a perfect score in practice?

I couldn’t believe it.

‘Is that Ian?’

She definitely felt that she had grown up somehow. But she couldn’t agree. She must have something else up her sleeve, she thought.

‘What the hell is going on…’

Lina To think she was doing so well in her most important class.

Nervous Lina bit her lip.

If she hadn’t eaten fruit or mushrooms and found mana orbs… Wouldn’t she have won?

‘What the hell am I doing…?’

A sense of shame hung over Lina’s face.

◆

“Haaa…”

Liechten Academy Girls Dormitory.

Lena threw herself on her bed and buried her face in her pillow.

“It’s a crisis here too.”

It is not a high grade dormitory, but it is the only place where you can live for free as a scholarship student.

… I’ll eat it, even if I solve it somehow.

It is difficult to find a place to sleep.

“Oh really!”

I couldn’t believe it at first.

The fact that Ian has changed like that.

But now…

“…I can’t help but admit it.”

Ian has changed.

Whether it’s because I fell off the roof.

Or something happened during the week I didn’t come to the academy.

“Woof!”

Lina, who had buried her face so that she couldn’t breathe, looked up blankly.

In her eyes, an unopened envelope caught her eye.

“… Request for pre-hearing by the Disciplinary Committee.”

An envelope that I put off checking the contents for a while.

Lina opened the envelope as if possessed.

— A disciplinary committee will be convened in connection with the recent suicide threat incident by student Ian Black Angus. As a victim of this incident, Rina is requesting a preliminary hearing prior to convening the disciplinary committee.

“Ah…”

Come to think of it, there is still a disciplinary committee left.

Lina herself is a victim. The perpetrator is Ian.

That’s how it was written in the document.

— Please prepare a statement about what you can guess, such as student Lee Ahn’s usual behavior and how he jumped down after leaving a threatening note.

“All statements are private and anonymity is guaranteed…”

— The disciplinary committee will only be convened to protect the victims, so please be careful not to be known around you. More.

The document ended there.
