The Only Male Student in the Academy

041. Midterm (1)

His height, which still only looks like a middle school student, and a businesslike expression that doesn’t feel cute even though he’s young.

Eyes like cold glass look this way.

I quickly put Andebarium’s brilliance into my pocket.

“I’m late because the meeting took longer than expected. If you’re busy, you can postpone the meeting.”

“No, it’s okay. It’s a public lecture.”

“Is that so?”

Professor Catherine nodded her head and sat down with her.

“So, why did Beheritt apply for counseling?”

“Let me ask you directly. What is the standard for not expelling me?”

“Hmm.”

Professor Catherine snapped her fingers when I asked.

The drawer opened and papers spilled out of it, lined up on the table right in front of my eyes.

“Simply put, if a Beheritt student’s overall grade point average is less than a C, she must return to Beltark Academy.”

And I already have less than a C grade.

This is because the classes I took at Beltark Academy got quite a lot of F grades. Even if you give it well, it’s probably an average grade of D.

“Of course, as long as Beheritt attends the classes this semester, there will be no problem. Specifically, it is safe to record B grades or higher in all tests, especially A grades in a couple of subjects.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“That’s right. In the case of A grades, most of the students in Class A will take it.”

“Professor Catherine, this is the main topic. I would like to hear about the evaluation outside of the subject.”

I said so.

Philea Academy has three criteria for evaluating students.

The first is the grade evaluation. It is an evaluation criterion based on the grades obtained in each subject.

The second is life evaluation. It is an evaluation criterion for evaluating whether students are doing well in the dormitory, whether they have not caused any problems, and whether there are any deficiencies in their character.

And the third is performance evaluation, which is an evaluation standard that has nothing to do with test scores.

“The performance evaluation is largely divided into two parts. The party performance evaluation and the adventure achievement evaluation.”

Professor Catherine, who heard me, began her explanation.

“Philea Academy is an educational institution that nurtures adventurers. However, it is not possible to evaluate all of the students’ qualities as adventurers with only general grades.

Every adventurer needs to be evaluated on how well they take risks. That’s the adventure achievement evaluation.

Go to dungeons that others can’t go to, defeat monsters that others can’t defeat, or get items others can’t get. There are many ways.”

Simply put, it means that outside activities will be evaluated.

Comparable to schools in Korea, such as winning awards in competitions, filling 200 hours of volunteer time, receiving commendations, etc. It can be seen as the same story as those things.

However, in this world, the rate of evaluation of outside activities is quite high.

Anyway, this is an institution that nurtures adventurers.

Even if your class grades are bad, if you have good skills in Dungeon Sword, it will be given a higher score.

“Professor Catherine, what do you think this would be like?”

I said that and handed out two documents.

It is a ‘subjugation certificate’ issued by the adventurer’s guild.

The first is the Elder Kobold Subjugation Certificate on the 3rd floor of the Blatta Dungeon.

The second one is underground water, a certificate for subjugating the automated golem in block J of the dungeon.

“Come to think of it, Beheritt was absent a while ago.”

After digging into the point where it stung for no reason, Professor Catherine picked up her subjugation certificate.

“You had a decent adventure for a freshman. Well done.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“However, this alone cannot cover all of Beherit’s poor grades.”

“Is that so?”

I thought that the Elder Kobold and the Automated Golem were good subjugation records among the first years, but are these not enough?

Professor Catherine put her subjugation certificate down on her table and put her hand on her chin.

Those two eyes were staring at my transcript and subjugation certificate, comparing them to each other.

“As for the party performance evaluation… From a Beherit student’s point of view, it would be difficult to achieve more than this.”

“Yes, unfortunately.”

“In that case, as a basic prerequisite, finish this semester’s classes with a grade of B or higher. In that state, if you take two more adventure achievement tests, there will be no problem.”

With that said, Professor Catherine took out her new papers.

It was written in large letters that read ‘Furniture rental application’.

“Student Beheritt, if you hunt golems, you must be familiar with the underground water dungeon, right?”

“Well… You’re more used to it than anyone else.”

“I’ll lend you the ‘invisibility cloak’ and ‘silent boots’ so you can map and survey the underground water. If you submit a report after the midterm exam, it will be recognized as an adventure achievement evaluation.”

Then, he signed the equipment rental application form.

I inadvertently opened my eyes wide.

“…Honestly, I was surprised. I thought Professor Catherine would go this far.”

“You are also my student. I just did my job as a professor.”

Saying coldly, Professor Katherine pushed forward one more layer of her equipment rental application form.

In the original novel, Professor Catherine was never so helpful.

She is a person who only handles office work. She wouldn’t have been the kind of person who would give unconventional support this far.

Still, what Professor Catherine does all this…… It must be because I am a student in Professor Catherine’s class.

I carefully accepted her documents, the application for renting equipment that Professor Catherine had given her.

“You know that even if you do this, you will still be missing one adventure achievement evaluation? Think about what you will do with the other one and decide well.”

“Thank you…”

From noble mtl dot com

“And going around dungeons is good, but don’t skip class because of dungeons.”

Catherine looked at me with slightly reproachful eyes for being absent the other day.

“Oh, Junior Erua. Are you back?”

When you return to the dormitory with the camping gear, Lapisca greets you.

It’s a two-day meeting.

“Looks like we camped in the canal for two days. So did you find out anything?”

“Yes.”

The question has been resolved.

Why did a boy named Ariel camp in an underground canal? Why did she go on such a dangerous adventure with only two wizards?

The answer seems to lie in a girl named Claire.

It seems that Claire was threatening Ariel, and Ariel seems to have traveled through the dungeon with underground water to survive.

The reason I couldn’t stay in the dormitory was probably because of a girl named Claire.

Still, one question remains for Erea.

Since that was also Erea, it was an incomprehensible question.

Why did you want to survive that far?

“Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but it’s good if it’s resolved. Actually, I had something to say to junior Erua.”

“What to say?”

“During the exam period. I want to go into the monitoring room.”

Monitoring room. In other words, the observation room.

The official name was the supervisor’s office or something, but no one calls it that anymore. At some point, in addition to professors, students were also allowed to enter.

However, there are entry conditions.

“Isn’t Lapiska senior allowed to enter?”

There are four types of students who can enter.

1. An executive of the student council.

2. Member of the Leading Division.

3. A member of the Student Knights.

4. A companion of a student who meets the above conditions. (Up to 2 people)

Among them, Lapiska must have been a temporary member of the leadership club.

“Ah, that’s what I mean… My qualifications were suspended because I ate the cart.”

In order to help Tia, Lapisca took care of the wrecking of the cart and the escape of the monster.

As a result, not only did I hear a voice from Professor Milas, but I was also shattered by Professor Catherine, an advisor to the leadership team.

-“Lapisca student, as a punishment for this incident, I will suspend my qualifications as a temporary member of the leadership team for the time being.”

In addition to that, various benefits were taken away.

It’s quite painful, but considering that she saved one of her juniors, it’s not a bad feeling.

It’s a pretty good feeling to think that I’ve cleared my debt to Lucius.

“That’s why you want to accompany me.”

“Yeah. Junior Er Ah probably won’t be interested in monitoring, but I want her to help me just once.”

“Good.”

Er A nodded her head.

Still a quick answer. That’s why Lapiska was a bit uneasy.

“…Hey, are you really okay? You didn’t ask me to do it, did you?”

“No.”

“Really?”

“Because I also had a question.”

In the monitoring room, you can watch students take their exams. It is a privilege of the monitoring room to help the test supervisor and receive a small allowance from the professors.

Erra was not very interested in money, She

She cares about a boy.

-“Era, you have the biggest flaw as an adventurer. That is your lack of will to survive.”

-“I lack the will to live. As a teacher, it’s very unfortunate. Even if you have the potential to surpass me, you can’t reach the top with that mindset.”

-“So, experience various things at the academy and expand your own definition.”

-“That’s my homework for you.”

Master gave me an assignment.

In order to solve that task, she has been living at the academy for a year, but she has not been able to get a clue about her star.

She ended up in her second year without any clue whatsoever.

Meanwhile, I saw a boy struggling to live.

‘Maybe.’

Maybe you can find out.

The will to survive.

After the consultation with Professor Catherine, I came out.

But she doesn’t intend to go back to the dorms any time soon. In addition to having to rent equipment, she also decided to meet with Marie.

‘Is it time for Mari to finish class?’

As I was walking with that thought in mind, I saw a familiar face in the distance.

I ran into Claire.

“……Ah.”

The other side also stopped, as if recognizing me.

And Claire…… Keep your mouth shut

If it was the same as usual, he would have been chattering, but he is standing there immobilized as if he has become a man-of-the-buck.

If you look closely, it seems that he is sweating coldly, and his pupils are shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

He is shrinking as if he is frightened by me.

‘… Did Claire have twins?’

I inadvertently thought of that.

I stopped for a moment and thought of the original setting, but no matter how much I think about it, the only twins in Unknown Saga are Rose and Marie.

That said, what was in front of my eyes was the story of the Claire I knew.

But it’s too different from the Claire I used to know….

‘…… Was Claire like this?’

Even though he lost to me once, was he a guy with this attitude…… ?

Something is uncomfortable.

But since our eyes met, what’s the point of just passing by?

Since the other side isn’t talking to you, I spoke first.

“Are you going to class?”

I just asked lightly.

But Claire averted her gaze.

“Ah, yes…”

And that was it.

He couldn’t even look at me properly and just nodded his head subtly.

“…I see, good job.”

“……Yes.”

After answering that, Claire walked past me at a brisk pace.

…… Why are you saying honorifics all of a sudden, that guy?

It’s scary because it’s so docile. Can a person change like that?

… No, it can’t be.

People don’t change easily just because they’ve been beaten and caught their weaknesses. I wonder if Claire has a lot of bad feelings towards me inside.

If you think about it that way, maybe it was acting that made you more compliant.

You can’t be careless.

Of course, as long as I have Andebarium’s brilliance and transfer certificate, Claire won’t hurt me right now.

‘But someday I’m going to retaliate again…. I want to cut the buds of anxiety in advance.’

But I can’t immediately figure out how to deal with it, and there are so many things to do.

There are less than two weeks left until the midterm exam.

It’s time to study for the exam soon,

I have to finish the report work that Professor Catherine ordered me to do before the midterm exams start.

Of course, if you start working on a report after the midterm exam, it might be late.

After the exam is over, the ‘mid-boss fight’ begins.

“There will be no more going around dungeons with Marie…”

Then, today’s meeting could be the last meeting with Marie.

I sigh and climb the stairs.

Magical combat and the rooftop of a building.

Waiting there, breathing in the wind,

Marie showed up at the promised time.

“Eh, Ariel… I’m here…”

A characteristic hesitant attitude. You always seem nervous.

It must have been about three weeks since I went out with Marie, but she still looks timid.

“I have something to tell you, Marie. About our future.”

Watching what might be the last time.

I said.
