Chapter 442.5 - Academy's information Terminal -- Public bulletin board 32381. Nameless 2nd year Priest

Yay baby, it's summer vacation time!

Let's liven up the scene!

382. Nameless 2nd year Magician

But do you even have the time to fool around? I'm sure you are out for the supplementary lessons.

383. Nameless 2nd year Axeman

It's not exactly a flowery path when it comes to <Labyrinth Academy - Main Branch>, you either aim for big or go down for zero. I heard other <Branch School> have supplementary exams, but that doesn't fly here.

384. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

You also have to look at the number difference. And the root cause to get red marks is still insufficient study. Then what difference does the supplementary exam gonna make? So might as well try to fix the root cause then using a band-aid method.

385. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

Hmm-hmm, I learned another thing. 

So that's the thing, Priest-san, Adventurer-san. Let's meet again in the blue side of the summer one day!

386. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

Nooooo! It's nothing but a straight torture to miss out on my lovely summer days, or even the whole summer! I don't want such a grounded study camp!

387. Nameless 2nd year Productioner

You read what you sow. 

But be reassured, your worries are unfounded. I heard the academic performance of students after this tame---I mean, camp session dramatically enhanced. 

If anything, this is your chance to make a great comeback.

388. Nameless 2nd year Priest

Oi, that bastard really wrote down tame. Kuh, that's definitely gloating on our misfortune!

389. Nameless 2nd year Magician

I expect nothing like from 'study camp that changes a person' which even has the attendance of <Public Morale Committee> in management. 

Rumors have indeed been that anyone who comes back from there is like possessed by the ghost of study.

390. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

What the heck is with that shady news!?

What kind of ritual do they conduct there!? Hey, tell me what's going to happen!?

391. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Nevertheless, what a pathetic state of affairs. Truly deplorable to fail right at the first test of second year. 

You somehow sailed through first-year safely, but it's obvious the curriculum of third-year would be mountainous if you didn't get yourself together right now. 

I recommend studying hard and focusing on improving your academic prowess.

Honestly, you don't have to be such antsy. I have done my research and at least, you're not going to see any satanic ritual or etc.

392. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

I am more worried about if I would still be the 'me' after attending that, alright! 

I want to stay just like this, just like this!

393. Nameless 2nd year Alchemist

Hmm, I wonder if changing the personality of Adventurer will make him more serious? 

Alright, enough of the moping. You're to take them silently. Or I will stamp on you.

394. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

Can't you leave me alone for god's sake!?

You know the ATK behind your kick is so low it doesn't even activate the HP barrier! That seriously hurts man!!

395. Nameless 2nd year Alchemist

Fufu, you have successfully activated my rage mode. Fret not, I will definitely stuff you with enough kick to change your personality, as you ordered.

396. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

Hey, I never ordered anything like that!

And what do you mean by personality-changing feeble-kicks!? 

I don't want to open the door to any horror!!

397. Nameless 2nd year Magician

That's enough fooling around. Let's return to our previous topic.

398. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Ditto. It's finally summer vacation huh.

399. Nameless 1st year Lancer

Yes, please. Let's talk about it! 

Honestly, I don't know what to do. It's summer, it should be a holiday but I  am suddenly seized by the fretting sensation!

400. Nameless 1st year Fisherman

Likewise! I feel like just fishing each and everyday is really...not cut for it, I guess?

401. Nameless 2nd year Adventurer

I tried that last year, but that was a failure......

402. Nameless 2nd year Priest

What had happened?

403. Nameless 2nd year Magician

Hmm, work hard if you don't want to be in a sorry state like Adventurer. 

Supporter-senpai will take up the explanation from here.

404. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Let's start with the school events first. 

There are quite a few traditional school events that you would get to see each year. Most of them are generally put together at the end of summer vacation, since this is when the students are out for home visit or the students stuck in supplementary lessons are generally free. 

An example would be a summer festival event that is held for two days, August 30st to August 31st. 

This is the ripe time for production, supporter or collection job holders to show off their skills where they set up their stalls etc. Any students are free to participate.

405. Nameless 2nd year Priest

But also heed an advice from your senior, the academy put together super fun events at the end of summer vacation so make sure that you don't have any of your work left for the end. Trust me, make sure to follow through it or else... or else no amount of firework's splendor would be able to wipe away that lifeless ashen world from your mind......

406. Nameless 2nd year Swordsman

W-What practical advice. 

Just what had Priest-san experienced last year...

407. Nameless 1st year Lancer

I really appreciate the warning, Senpai! 

And, what do combat job holders usually do!?

408. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Of course, they're to handle the things they excelled at---A Quest.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Basically everyone gathers each year for the chilling convention---to hunt down the innumerable ghost type monsters that dungeons produce at night in this season. And When I said a lot, there truly are an avalanche of ghost type monsters. 

Well, it's also the event where you can 'get rich overnight.' Those ghost drops <Mana Stone> as their drops and their appearance also propel up the appearance rate of rare monsters, and I kid you not, you would be diving into fortune if you can take down <Golden Ghost>. 

Besides, the academy also puts up a reward and there are also mouth-watering rewards for the top-rankers. I hardly have seen any students who didn't participate in this convention.

409. Nameless 1st year Lancer

A ghost hunt!?

No wait, then doesn't it sound like really fun!?

410. Nameless 2nd year Priest

Yet, it's also an important event. 

If anything, you will hear summer vacation as <Mana Stone> harvest season by some. And what do you think comes to your mind when talking about <Mana Stone>? The potions! Yes. The market price for potions absolutely depends on how many <Mana Stone> we can secure each year.

411. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

My words, it was a disaster this year. 

Had it not for the certain <Alchemist> girl that teamed with <Student Council> to quell the turmoil at <Variety Firm> and restore the market situation, it would have been awful. I still remembered the scene when the academy passed on their appreciation to her. No, not just them. Everyone involved in that incident is truly thankful for that <Alchemist> girl. 

After learning a bitter lesson, the academy is probably going to set up an intensive <Mana Stone> harvest event.

412. Nameless 2nd year Priest

Ditto. I appreciate just as much for the help. 

I was able to resume my side-gig of potion maker thanks to that. I bet everyone must have learned the lesson; that what appeared to be a lot might not even be amount to mir when in time of need. 

East or west, <Mana Stone> is the best! I am going to participate in the chilling convention with 200% power!

413. Nameless 1st year Lancer

O-Ohh, that's certainly tragic...

I will join in then.

414. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Appreciated. The more hands there are, the better.

Anyway, another event is the Royal Jewel Event.

415. Nameless 1st year Fisherman

Royal Jewel Event? It sure sounds amazing.

416. Nameless 3rd year Supporter 

Fufu. and it actually is an amazing event. It's a large-scale auction that is held at the last sunday of summer vacation each year, which is 1st september for this year. 

But the focal point of this event is the item that is put on display here, which has pushed the students to instead refer to it as 'Royal Jewel event' instead of calling it just a part of summer festival------<Advanced Job Ascension Ticket>.

I heard one is going to appear this year.

【Timeline - Uncertain. A snippet from the group chat 'A certain girl's gathering'】

198. Nameless 1st year Shielder

So, what's the plan of <Eden>?

199. Nameless 1st year Female Soldier

So frustrating. I never expected for that Merchant to spit on our sisterhood.

What a sly individual.

200. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

Yo, there. I just came back.

201. Nameless 1st year Shielder

Oh, I had been so waiting for you, Investigator-senpai!

What's the situation!? Any news!?

202. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

Take a deep breath first and calm down---though I doubt that's going to happen.

However, Merchant-chan was telling the truth it seems.

203. Nameless 1st year Shielder

What a tarnation!

204. Nameless 1st year Female Soldier

Curse you, Merchant. You must have been gloating, aren't you! 

I will engrave this mark of betrayal on our sisterhood in my heart and show you the helllll!

205. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

You can't change the past so calm down. 

However I also have gotten my hands on <Eden> movement however. 

I heard they have contacted <Beast King Gal-Tiger> recently and are going through a deal, and they're also purchasing certain <Heart> <Crystal> <Jewel> items from the market. It sounds important enough to even request to other guilds if it's impossible to find normally.

206. Nameless 1st year Shielder

So that lassie Merchant's tip has revealed that far? 

Hmm, it does make sense given how she hasn't shown herself much in the group. She's swamped up with tasks apparently.

207. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

So let's just look at how the situation unfolds. 

Maybe any teasing to Merchant-chan might hinder down <Eden>.

208. fNameless 1st year Shielder

To swallow this flame of resentment is a tall task. 

......Right, what were you talking about what <Eden> is gathering, Senpai? What exactly are they?

209. Nameless 3rd year Investigator

All I can say is Brave-kun is eagerly hunting around for those specific items. <Heart> <Crystal> <Jewel>---They are the key items that are used in clearing the condition for advanced jobs apparently.
