Chapter 95.2 - The Second Year at the Academy - Suppliers and Servants (2)

I left Helena and thought as I walked down the hallway.

The reason I can't acquire it is unknown, but there is a solution.

A magic book.

I have the talent, so I should be able to use divine magic.

The problem is that magic books are expensive, and they're always in short supply.

The demand for healing magic is high, and for intermediate magic, it's practically nonexistent.

Even if I ask Sammy, I doubt I can get one.

First, if I have that kind of money, I should buy magic stones.

What I need now is not long-term profit, but immediate profit.

When I was thinking about something like a worthless person, a strange person suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

A maid?

Turning the corner of the hallway, it was clearly a maid who appeared.

Curious, the maid noticed me and stared at me.

Even if I averted my gaze and looked back, she was still watching.

I haven't encountered any maids recently, except for those girls.

I don't recognize this face.

The maid approached me and bowed politely.

"Are you Lord Leedvalt?"

"If I am?"

"Luchena-sama, the daughter of Count Walbur Routis, wishes to see you."

I knew it.

How many people did that little girl bring with her?

To be honest, I thought there was a high chance she was enrolled in Cartilal.

If someone like that were to enter, it would undoubtedly be here.

I was cautious, though. Did she take the initiative?

But how did she notice me?

Because I have limited interaction with adventurers, only Everlasting Harvest and Ted know that Alter and Tenko are the same person.

If there were any possibilities, it would be the adventurers from the field exercises, Serpus of Halysto, or the adventurers from Dokor.

But there don't seem to be any rumors, and if that were the case, Rebecca would have said something.

She knows because I'm trying to hide it.

Moreover, the previous incident has been settled.

Why is she calling me?

I was a bit confused and then remembered.

Oh, I remember that.

It had something to do with the Youk... or something.

When I first enrolled, the nobles were obsessed with it.

Even now, culture and academia are divided by that name, but it's long been simplified.

"One-sided" is a derogatory term for someone who doesn't study.

I think it meant people who didn't study.

But I didn't find out until much later because I had been associated with Lambert from the Viscount family and Elphemia, who was on par with the Count's family from an early age.

It was risky to look down on them.

Moreover, in our year, we were told very early on that culture and academia were meaningless because of the painful experience in the first half of the outdoor exercise.

Those who didn't participate in the exercise seemed to have been using it for a while, but that too had disappeared.

Oh, it's such a relief to have that question answered.

What was it again?

"What's your answer?"

"I apologize for being one-sided."

Luchrena's mood was deteriorating. Oh, I forgot to use honorific language. Oh well.

"So you're not one-sided. After I graduate, I'm going to the capital. I said I would allow you to accompany me. You really don't know anything. Can this man really be of any use?"

I don't care.

I'm not interested in your life at all.

While thinking that, I politely bowed my head.

"Because I'm from the countryside, I'm an ignorant person who doesn't know etiquette. Even for such an important role..."

"Who allowed you to argue?"

"Um, I'm very sorry."

I rubbed my head against the ground.

I see, she also came to gather her pieces.

Using her authority.

Anyway, what should I do?

Unlike before, I have no obligation on my side, and as an independent lord, I have no obligation to obey even a higher rank.

In fact, the Count Walbur household conflicts with the Tarkas Viscount's family.

However, it's not good to get into a dispute with the Count based on my judgment.

It was a mistake to be polite when I encountered her in the forest.

If I had been more rough, she would have been the one to refuse.
