I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 39 – As expected, bread is the best

I ended up in trouble because of the students who came up to me and started talking about the terrible bread.

If I knew someone around me, I would have asked for help, but I didn’t know what to do because of the students suddenly surrounding me.

If I had at least brought a hammer, I could have escaped by hitting the head, but I ended up not bringing a hammer.

“Everyone stop! “If you mess with Pathos-kun here, something big might happen to you!”

At that time, Reina shouted loudly, drawing people’s attention to her.

“What?”

“What is that story about?”

The eyes of the students in this classroom were focused on Raina for a moment.

“Ha, you guys. “Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?”

“What?”

“I introduced it at the beginning. “Pathos here was recommended by the ‘Prime Minister’ and was admitted through special selection.”

Reina told the students how I came to be admitted to Glessius Academy.

Then, all color disappeared from the faces of the students surrounding me for an instant.

“Jijijiji, really?”

“You came in on the recommendation of the prime minister?”

The people close to me were mainly nobles, so when they found out whose recommendation I had entered the academy, they began to carefully back away.

“What? Why is everyone suddenly leaving?”

“They say the Prime Minister is behind that person!”

“What? Really? Then you shouldn’t touch it!”

The news that there was a Prime Minister behind me quickly spread to the people behind me, and the students surrounding me quickly returned to their seats.

As expected, the person had a solid background and it was something to see.

But, was the Prime Minister really that scary?

‘Reina. ‘Why did the story about the Prime Minister come out, and is everyone so scared?’

‘The Prime Minister is actually the highest-ranking person in power after His Majesty the Emperor. The moment he catches his eye, his advancement into central politics is practically at a level where he has to give up.’

When I asked a question in a whisper, Raina also whispered and she answered my question.

From Raina’s answer, it seemed like he knew how scary the Prime Minister was to the people of this empire.

Hmm, I definitely thought that a person who holds the position of prime minister in a country would have the charisma to sway people.

It seems that his charisma was stronger than I expected.

“Anyway, I hope everyone will avoid questions that are difficult to answer with pathos as much as possible. For you and for all of us. Got it?”

Everyone just nodded their heads without replying to Raina’s words.

As expected, Raina was from the duke family, so she already had the ability to sway people.

Anyway, thanks to her, I was able to block her terrible bread-related questions in advance.

I didn’t directly tell them not to ask bread-related questions, but I guess it was because they saw me getting in trouble when I asked that question.

Wow, but I never thought the difference between having a back and not would be so clearly revealed.

At first, everyone was rushing towards me and asking questions as if they were going to eat me, but after they found out that the Prime Minister was behind me, they all started to treat me with caution.

‘Huh? ‘Maybe this would be more convenient?’

But when I thought about it, I thought this would be better.

Rather than bothering to get into an argument with someone, it is better to prevent an argument in advance by saying that someone is behind you.

Hmmm. Very good. After all, people must know how to live in peace.

After I found a suitable seat and sat down, the classroom door opened and a middle-aged man came in.

“Hmm? What? Why is everyone so quiet? Well, it’s better than being noisy.”

It seemed that this person was in charge of this class.

“This is Professor Norman. “He is someone who provides general knowledge about the academy for students like us who have just entered the school.”

For your information, the person sitting next to me was Raina.

Because she was asked by the president, she had no choice but to stick around with me for a while.

“Well, normally, I was going to take a paper test today, but since there seems to be a new face, I will review what I have learned so far instead of a paper test. Do you understand?”

“Yes! Professor.”

When Professor Norman said that he would not take the written exam, everyone responded loudly.

It was like the time when I was serving in the military and repeating the words of a decorated officer.

“You’re lucky.”

“Why?”

“Professor Norman is the one who gives a paper test every class. “But I think the reason you’re not taking the test is probably because you’re in this class.”

After listening to Raina’s explanation, I observed Professor Norman, and while he was explaining what he had learned so far, he was looking in the direction where I was sitting once in a while.

[Class has started, so replace it with a note. When speaking in a note, I will shorten the words.]

[I understand.]

When class started, Raina and I started exchanging messages instead of talking.

[Professor Norman is a part-time professor. Next year’s contract renewal depends on this year’s evaluation. So, I am aware of the people who will have a big influence on my contract renewal. Perhaps, if you are around, I will never be able to disobey you.]

She wrote down specific information about Professor Norman.

Seeing this makes me feel like I am looking at a short explanation or setting that appears in the loading window of Erasto Chronicle.

[I understand that most professors probably know about you. Information about you may have been widely spread through the student management window available to professors. Additionally, all faculty and staff at the Academy are managed by the President, but approval from the Prime Minister is required to become full-time employees. Therefore, it can be said that there is absolutely no one who will be hostile to you, who has the Prime Minister as your backbone.]

I had doubts when I saw the note that Raina handed me, but I became confident when I saw that Professor Norman did not point out that he saw me openly exchanging notes with her.

[Is the Prime Minister’s influence on Glesius Academy strong?]

[The operation of Glessius Academy is strictly supported by the imperial family and the imperial budget. And the imperial budget paid to the Academy must be approved by the Prime Minister. Therefore, no one in the Academy dares to show the Prime Minister that he is disliked.]

For this reason, it seemed like the students retreated when they found out that the Prime Minister was behind me.

Prime Minister, every time I confirm that you are truly influential in many fields, I am reminded that you are not called the second in command of the empire for nothing.

[By the way, does His Majesty the Emperor have any restrictions against the Prime Minister wielding such strong power?]

I asked Raina what she was most curious about.

The Prime Minister wields such powerful power that the emperor, who can be said to be the absolute supreme king of the empire, sees this and remains silent.

[It is presumed that the Prime Minister has the absolute trust of His Majesty the Emperor. And in fact, I know that His Majesty’s will is no different from the Prime Minister’s will. I don’t know the details.]

Hmm, even though Reina is the daughter of a noble family, she doesn’t know everything, so this seems to be the limit.

Well, there won’t be any problem since you can ask the president about any shortcomings later.

[A message has arrived from the president.]

At that time, an alarm suddenly appeared saying that a message had arrived from the president.

I carefully pressed the screen, and a window appeared in front of me, allowing me to check the message sent by the president.

[How are you doing well in class? At Glesius Academy, we thoroughly verify the abilities of each professor. I have clearly informed all the professors about you, but if they try to put you at a disadvantage or embarrass you in front of everyone, please contact me right away. A professor who doesn’t have that level of discernment is not needed in our academy.]

Uh, well. For some reason, the president sent a rather extreme message.

If I make a mistake about this, won’t I end up being a secret power of the Academy?

I quickly wrote a reply to the president.

[I am having fun taking the class. Miss Raina is helping me a lot in adjusting to academy life. And since everyone can make mistakes, I hope that even if someone does something wrong to me, they will be generous and overlook it at least once. And…… That is all.]

Everything I wrote was related to my survival.

No matter how much I have the strong background of the president and prime minister behind me, I don’t think that will apply outside of the academy.

When I sent a reply, the president’s reply arrived one after another.

[As expected. Pathos-kun is a thoughtful and considerate man. I will actively refer to Pathos’ opinion. If you are having a hard time, you can visit the president’s office at any time. Warm tea and cookies are always ready.]

Phew, looking at the president’s reaction, it seems like the crisis has been alleviated.

It’s a problem even if it doesn’t have something good, but it’s also a problem if it’s too good.

I realized a new fact today.
