055 – Silver Rookie Theo #4

“Regardless of the time, rest is necessary. Even if it is not grandiose, just simple meditation and drinking tea are enough.”

The professor in charge of the Tea Time Lecture was a gentleman called Sir Kalon.

“Stop your busy life, even if it’s a minute or 5 minutes of break. That is the core of this lecture.”

He was an elderly man in a gray suit. Aside from a pointy mustache, he also had pulled back hair and some impressive spectacles.

While pouring the brewed tea into a beautiful porcelain kettle, he said.

“In fact, the patrols who guarded the wall saw an increased efficiency as a result of introducing a Tea Time during the break.”

As Kalon applauded, maids in white aprons and black dresses appeared and poured tea into empty cups on each table.

━Today’s tea is Kalon’s White Tea.

After a while, the scent of the fragrant tea made me drowsy.

I was a little skeptical that there was a class where I could get an A Grade just by sitting still and drinking tea.

... Was this right?

And it seemed that Elga had the same concern.

After drinking her share in the cup at one go, she said.

“This is boringgg. We just sit like this all semester and drink tea, and we get an A? What kind of class is this!? Are other classes similar?”

... What she drank was boiling at least 60 degrees. Wasn’t it too hot?

While I was admiring Elga’s mouth and the robustness of her esophagus, Mirna Draco elegantly lifted her teacup and said.

“This is what a Class A lecture is. Just by attending this lecture, you have already proven your skills.”

Hearing those words, the war-like enrollment process came to mind; the fighting, screaming and fussing at each other just to get better lectures...

Just like right now, I stole this lecture from Efside.

Now that I thought about this, it was not strange that everyone who attended this lecture got an A Grade. After all, their skills had already been proven just by being able to take a lecture that was difficult to obtain.

But Elga simply snorted.

“How about the Southern Admiral who proposed to you before?”

Southern Admiral?

Was there such a person?

It was a story I didn’t know about, so this topic was quite appealing for me.

After all, Elga was the darling of a great family and was beautiful enough to rank at the top in the kingdom just by outward appearance.

It would be natural for her to receive proposals from all over the place. Shouldn’t she get dozens of proposal letters in a month alone?

But Elga hatefully shook her head.

“Are you talking about five years ago? That person is weaker than me and he’s an old grandfather!”

“Yes, he is. That’s why I said you should choose one here. There are many young and strong warriors in Ark. Elga, you need to make some more little Lionesses and increase Angmar’s national power.”

“Hmph, I’ll take care of that myself!”

Only her cousin Elga could be rude to Aira. Hearing this, the Queen also did not bother Elga any further and just drank her tea.

Then, unexpectedly, Elga brought up the topic again.

“But, on second thought, there’s someone who’s in my mind lately.”

“Hoo...?”

Aira was surprised, seemingly caught off guard.

Even the silent Mirna expressed her interest, “Lady Lioness has someone she cares about?”

Elga scratched the bridge of her nose with a finger, perhaps realizing that she had made a mistake.

“It’s just, well, it’s not really ‘care’ per say. Rather, he wants me to step on him... It’s a guy from the same class!”

Seuk.

I then felt something digging between my knee and thigh. Needless to say, it was Elga’s soft bare feet.

I was sweating balls...

“.......”
