Chapter 253 Academy's Rule

Chapter 253 Academy's Rule

On their way to the academy town's rental housing district, Allen and Felicia encounter a crowd that is the reason for a traffic jam. And its source is in the feud between humans and the scaly creatures that live in the sea, Siren.

"The sea creature, Siren. They used to be classified as demi-humans because their characteristics were similar to those of marine animals. But because they have a completely different habitat from animals on land, some scholars have made the statement that they are a different race from demi humans."

"You disgusting human," said the female Siren.

"What are you saying? How dare a fish like you talk to its predator."

"You think you're the highest being when all you do is what bastards do."

"Huh?"

"The ban on throwing trash into the river is an agreement we made with the academy council. From the way you're talking, it looks like you're one of the visitors from out of town. Is it possible that these honorable humans cannot read their own writing?" Their voices echo and sound oddly like a mix of birds chirping, whales, and humans.

On some of the riverbanks, signs list the prohibitions and agreements made by Siren and the city of Academy.

1, prohibition of throwing anything into the river, especially trash and garbage, including food.

2, prohibition on the use of the river as a dumping ground

3, prohibition against bathing in the river

4, although sirens have rights over the river, they are never allowed to attack humans.

Instead of Siren's ban on self-defense, the academy stepped in to solve the problem.n/(0veLBIn

"JUSTICE IS THE BASIS OF PEACE!" the loud shout suddenly sounded from the east. As everyone turned their heads to the right, there was a muscular woman with an enormous, troll-like body that was 4 meters tall.

When she approached, everyone could clearly see that she was a demi-human bear with braided hair like a viking.

"Hey, isn't that her? Why is she wearing a uniform on a holiday like this?"

"The vice chairman of Oxwade Academy's disciplinary committee, Bernadette Honeycup"

The disciplinary committee was filled with students who kept the peace in the academy. Their position was above the soldiers, and they had the right to punish offenders.

"Wh-what the hell, why are you looking at me like that?! You scum demi-human!" the man shouted as he saw the female bear in front of him staring at him with murderous lust.

"Freedom is not only granted by the oppressor," another woman's voice could be heard behind her, who was also wearing the same school uniform as the bear woman. "It is the oppressed who must fight for it." The woman continued. Her voice was smooth and soft, but it sounded tense and intimidating.

"Oxwade Academy's student council president! Kethryllia Othorion Eruvrantish!"

"The chairman of the student council and the vice chairman of the discipline committee walk together?"

"Wow she has pointed ears; does that mean the girl is an elf?" asked Allen.

"Lower your voice; they hate it when humans talk about their ears. I don't want to get involved with people like them before joining the academy."

Kethryllia is a striking elf with flowing golden tresses reminiscent of royalty. Her hair was elegantly restrained despite its length, exuding a sense of regal poise and authority. She carried herself with grace, her emerald-green eyes sparkling with intelligence and wisdom. Kethryllia's fair complexion seemed almost ethereal, untouched by the world's harsh realities. Yet, there was a hint of sorrow behind her smile, suggesting that she had witnessed the darker side of life.

Her aura truly sets her apart from others. A palpable presence surrounded her, commanding respect and admiration from all who crossed her path.

The elf approached the man, then held his chin, looking into his eyes.

"Violations of the rules agreed upon between the races are located on the first sheet of the academy city rules. As I said before, the oppressed are allowed to fight for their rights.

Before I took you to prison, I permitted the sirens to punish them."

"HII!!! WHAT are you going to do to me?! I'm the son of the owner of the biggest company that makes transactions outside the city into this city! I will stop the transaction if you do some horrible thing to me! You can't do anything to me!"

"No matter what your duty is and no matter what your position is, in this city, you will be considered equal by the other races. I don't care one bit what happens to you."

A harmonious chorus of their voices began to fill the air. Observing this peculiar sight, Kethriyllia instinctively took a few steps back, sensing an imminent disturbance. Just as she retreated, a sudden wave of sickness overwhelmed the man, who uttered a loud and repulsive sound: "UWEEEEK"

He involuntarily expelled what seemed like an endless stream of fish from his mouth, and he fainted after that.

Witnessing this grotesque scene, Kethriyllia said, "How disgusting," She expressed her disgust by flinging her gloves to the right and igniting them in flames as if attempting to cleanse herself from the repugnance that unfolded before her.

"Bernadette, lose your temper; let's leave all this to the soldiers. We still have business to do."

"Alright."

After they left, the soldiers immediately came and arrested the man.

"Fyuuh, for some reason, my heart feels like it's going to stop when I see this spectacle," Felicia said.

"Siren, what were they doing? They were just singing, but the man suddenly spit out the fish?" asked Allen.

"I don't know; there's no way I'd know something like that. Maybe it was some kind of amnis? I heard that the Sirens have a close relationship with the water spirits, so they don't need to use the amnis circle to give orders."

"I see... there are still many things I don't know."

"In the future, there may be many things that surprise you. I visited the academy town once but was still surprised by some of the developments here."

They continued their journey to the rental house. And since the matter was already settled, Felicia's carriage arrived at the rental house not long after they arrived.
