Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 25
Episode 25
25fury. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot(7)
Elester continued speaking..
“The noble class makes up less than 3% of the entire population of the empire. There are only a very small number of people who make decisions, so what happens if those people implement policies that only catch the wind??”
“……I'm ruined.”
“you're right. Therefore, we need to think about the common people and the low class from their perspective and improve the system. Do you all know?”
“yes!”
It was Elester who returned to the form of a benevolent teacher..
he looked at me and said.
“Zero, that was a very, very good answer. We give the store 2 points. And I will give 1 penalty point to Mr. Teron and Ms. Euridia..”
“yes!?”
“Uh, why?…….”
“Do not belittle the duties of nobility. You must take responsibility for the words you say. That's what nobility is..”
Teron and Eurydia turned their heads and looked at me..
The two children's eyebrows were twitching intensely..
Then I realized.
Why is Elester, my number one favorite teacher, acting like that?.
‘……You were trying to harass me..’
It's not an illusion.
Teron and Eurydia's reply was 'excellent'.’.
Rodelin is 'very good'’.
And I was like, ‘Very, great.’.
This includes the act of dismissing bullshit as the correct answer..
The intention to push me was clearly visible..
Even I, a dead person, couldn't figure out what he was thinking..
“Taking away other children's right to speak by exerting invisible pressure does not seem good either. Be careful next time.”
“…….”
“We have very high expectations for you. I hope we can work together to achieve good results. Okay, let's end the class here..”
Elester is gone.
There is a lot of coldness in the class. No one dared to open their mouth..
“Hey, would you like it? Get the store too.”
That is, unless we exclude our Luna, who was not paying attention..
“If you keep doing this, you won't get first place on the midterm exam.?”
Teron and Euridia's shoulders flinched at the same time..
They were the heads of each group, but they also carried the family's honor..
1, 2If you can't do it, it will be a big blow..
Aside from faction fights, the thing I'm always concerned about is grades, so you're messing with that..
Luna's accident had to be resolved..
“Miss Luna, I have more demerit points than the store. How can I…….”
“Oh, the one you got from Teacher Caron? But they said if you do well in practice, they will get rid of it and give you a store. With your skills, it's like the store is about to be copied twice..”
rattle!
Thump thump!
Teron and Eurydia stomped their feet and left the class..
The children followed them, somewhat hesitantly..
Of course, he didn't forget to glare at me and leave..
In an instant, it was half empty..
Luna saw that and scratched her head..
“What, why are they like that? Are you hungry??”
Yes, that's right. It's Luna.
Why are you doing this to me??
* * *
“Um, are you here?.”
“Yes, I came back a little while ago.”
Charon slightly bowed his head towards Elester..
“What did you say??”
“He said he couldn't hit it right now. As you know, the justification for leaking test items is weak.…….”
“I guess so. Still, leave some evidence. Sometimes little things can add up to great power..”
“Yes, I understand.”
Investigation into an incident that occurred at the Academy.
At the same time, it is necessary to determine the number of cases that can lead to the dismissal of the current president, 'Dwener'..
That's what Elester came here for..
‘I knew it was a parachute, but... … He's a lot more incompetent than I thought..’
I don't act carelessly, perhaps because I don't have the skills..
Only orders received are processed thoroughly..
But I can't leave it out because it's full of little things that are embarrassing to even talk about..
This is Annwood Academy, which nurtures future talent..
How could such an incompetent person be appointed to such a place? I can't believe it.
‘Your Majesty has no reason to be worried. But what was the Herizes family thinking when they put such a person in that position??’
A question I’ve had since meeting the president.
Soon, Eleister decided not to think too deeply..
Because causing trouble may be their goal..
“……The atmosphere is strange..”
Excellent class that just finished class.
The children who came pouring out naturally split into two groups and walked down the hallway without getting into a fight of nerves..
It was Charon who immediately saw that their mood was not good..
“Hehe, I added some seasoning to the bait called Zero-kun. It's also a very delicious seasoning..”
“……Is that so.”
Charon swallowed internally..
This is why he was afraid of Eleister.
The raccoon of aristocratic politics.
His magic skills are great, but he uses his tongue to exploit the opponent's weak points..
Solid logic, natural gaslighting, and a tendency to like fighting and arguing..
Charon, who made a living from his body, had no choice but to be picky..
Moreover, the fact that he induced this situation.
“……I guess you like that kid..”
“Wow, that's not true. I'm just a little, just a little bit interested..”
The child I like is Elester, who enjoys growing up in extreme situations..
Besides, this is an academy, not a political world..
Most things can be prevented with Elester’s line..
Zero will gradually grow under his protection..
‘Or it breaks in the middle.’
Elester is a good person, but not a good person..
Charon knew that well..
“The time for the first choice will come soon. In your opinion, which one would you choose??”
“Isn't it from Teron??”
“well. It could be Teron, or it could be Euridia. or not…….”
Elester's eyes lit up..
“Might create a third group.”
“……This is speculation. That's impossible.”
There was a lot he wanted to say, but Charon kept his mouth shut..
How dare you blurt out your true thoughts?.
It was impossible, but a third group was virtually impossible..
‘Because there has never been anything like that in the history of the Academy..’
Every year, it splits into two factions and fights, with one side collapsing or graduating on equal terms..
‘If that's possible…….’
There will be only Rodelin..
In fact, the current second year was in quite an unusual state..
Last year, as usual, we were divided into two factions. But he couldn't fight.
‘Because Miss Rodelin was blocking it..’
Saying that you should study or practice while fighting factions..
There were people who refuted it, but not anymore..
Because I killed half of every opponent I ran into..
Both factions expressed their intention to crawl under Rodelin, but she left, expressing doubts..
The Lucid family is the emperor's sword.
It was a family that was more interested in fighting and magic than politics..
Asking them to lead the faction they belong to must have sounded like bullshit..
In the end, the two factions of second-year students were living quietly, avoiding the lion named Rodelin..
Perhaps it can be said to be even greater than creating a third group..
Because Rodelin is alone.
“But this world is not something you can live in alone. In that respect, Miss Rodelin can be said to be a big minus..”
“Do you think that the child who creates the third group is more amazing than Miss Rodelin??”
“That's right. Moreover, when two huge groups already exist, a new group is created to compete with them.?”
Indeed.
You could say he was born for politics..
“Actually, what I'm looking forward to is the other side..”
“what… … Are you thinking about integrating the academy??”
“haha! I didn't even think of that. That would be so fun.”
“I think there is a possibility. As long as Miss Rodelin puts her mind to it.…….”
Elester thought as he looked at Charon like that..
You never know.
Someone who created the third group.
I might put a leash around the neck of a lion named Rodelin..
* * *
“Let's hang out!”
“Hehe, I dismiss it..”
I pushed Luna's forehead with my arm as she rushed towards me to go play..
“This, this!”
Luna flaps her arms wildly, but cannot reach them..
Because the height difference is at least 25cm..
“devil! devil!”
As soon as I left the class, the parrot landed on my shoulder as if it had been waiting..
“Hehe, are you here? The final day is tomorrow. Be prepared.”
“devil! Save me! devil!”
Did I feel better? The parrot flapped its wings wildly..
‘I will say goodbye to this guy tomorrow too..’
My heart feels a little uneasy.
It's not because of the sadness of parting. There's something that makes my heart feel tight…….
‘It was because of that..’
I can see Elester and Charon looking this way from afar..
Charon's eyes were burning. He has the power to kill people with his eyes..
My heart couldn't help but feel weird.
‘That's good. I already needed insurance.’
I lowered my shoulders slightly and whispered in the parrot’s ear..
“Parrot, remember what those two look like. If I ask you later, you'll bring me one of them..”
“devil?”
“Hehe, that's right. It's team play. You know?”
“tea! team! paly!”
The parrot clicked its beak and exhaled with difficulty..
Yeah, I thought you remembered..
'Cause you're set up like that.
now.
‘All preparations for the attack on ‘The Devil’s Piece’ are complete..

parrot's memory#1
“mind! say it!”
“Geek! Squeak! say! say!”
“…….”
A sigh came out of my mouth..
Same goes for this guy. I don't think and speak.
just.
‘I just follow the words.’
spread my wings.
By flapping my five-colored wings, I was able to quickly ascend to the sky..
Yes, I have wings..
It's natural. Because I am a parrot. however.
‘Why am I the only one who can think?.’
I knew it before I could fly freely.
That you are a special being.
A parrot that can think like a human.
My speech was a bit slurred, but I was able to communicate well..
The problem is, other parrots don't..
‘so stupid.’
Eat, shed, sleep, reproduce.
That's all they care about..
So I decided to leave..
I couldn't possibly get along with them. Because you are a special person.
‘Let's find a friend. A friend who suits me!’
So the long journey began.
We met many parrots and then parted ways. But she said there was no one like her.
The busier I was and the longer the trip, the worse my physical condition became..
Still, I didn't give up.
Because the desire to have friends was greater than the exhaustion..
‘Is there really no one like me on this wide continent??’
The place I arrived at as I continued my journey..
Was it called the Academy? I think so.
It was a place with a lot of children..
‘I guess I'll have to base myself here for a while..’
There are naughty kids, but there are more good kids..
You won't have to worry about eating..
It was a time when I was scouting around and understanding the surroundings..
A child being bullied caught in view.
From fists to kicks.
It didn't feel special because I saw it often..
I just can't understand why they behave so poorly even though they are of the same race..
“okay? Tell him to drop out. Because I don’t even want to see your face.”
“Hehe!”
The short but long bullying is over..
The beaten child stood up, dusting himself off..
The child was smiling. He laughs even when he gets hit.
I thought he was such a strange guy..
“hi?”
He found me and said hello..
Only then could I see his face properly..
I immediately knew why the other kids were bullying him..
He was an unusual child with very small eyes..
But a human saying hello to a parrot?.
‘Is he crazy??’
No, he was clearly crazy..
It's best to avoid crazy people.
That was the moment when I spread my wings wide.
“Won't you be friends with me??”
Friends?
The sound of words. No, the tremors were enough to stop me from moving..
This is Luthers.
It was my first meeting with that child..
