Chapter 64 – Episode 64. It’s Not a Romance Manga (2)
It wasn’t easy to get interested in a class that was hard to follow.
Astrid felt somewhat tired as the days passed. I couldn’t get my mind off of what the hell I was doing here.
Rather, it was more comfortable if there were a lot of things to do with the body like when I was a trainee. Astrid’s body was overflowing with stamina to the point that it seemed like it was infinite, and her strength was the same, so there was no hard training with her body at all.
Besides, Astrid was a soldier, so it was easy to learn the rites, so he was a cadet who was not at all ashamed of being called a squad leader.
However, when the class started in earnest, the story changed. Classes with the body are only physical education classes during the day, and the rest are all theoretical classes in the classroom. Maybe it’s because it’s a freshman, but it’s basic culture, so all the other cadets say it’s easy, and there’s no problem because they’ve already learned this much, haha.
“Astrid.”
Leopold’s sudden voice brought Astrid to her senses.
After all, it was class time. Among the classes, it was the basics of strategy and tactics for effective military command, and it was also one of the subjects Astrid found difficult to follow.
Professor Besmondo’s gaze was directed at Astrid. The slightly frowning face seemed to have called Astrid several times in succession, so Astrid smiled awkwardly.
“I like the weather… “
“Are you going to watch the weather even if the monster comes out? It’s great that you’re very relaxed, Cadet Astrid.”
The thorns were protruding.
‘I can’t understand even if I hear it, but what are you saying… ‘
The real Astrid had no answer. He looked like he was sleeping.
“I bet you didn’t even hear Professor Lee’s question?”
“Yes?”
It’s the first time he even asked a question.
“Mo, I didn’t hear. Sorry.”
“If your grades are the worst, don’t you have to listen to the class to get grades, Astrid student?”
His face was hot like it was on fire. I could feel that the eyes of all the cadets were focused on me. It wasn’t too much of a burden to feel the uselessly sensitive body senses, even from those gazes.
“Great. Since the weather was so nice, I would like to ask you a special question again. If a medium-sized monster appears wearing heavy armor, what is an effective countermeasure in squad combat?”
Speaking of medium-sized monsters, I’ve even seen Astrid. Did the 10 cadets here say it was the monster they had seen, Helveyga…? A monster that looked like that big dog.
That was a very easy thing to do. Astrid answered that thought confidently.
“After blocking the charge, push back to increase the distance, and before charging again… Take out your weapon… West… Just kill… “
The more he spoke, the more his confidence faded.
The more Astrid answered, the professor’s face contorted.
“Cadet Astrid.”
The professor closed the book and set it down on his desk. The already sharp-looking professor sighed at Astrid as he straightened his monocle, which gave a sharper impression.
“Just because a cadet can do it doesn’t mean that others can do it. Cadet Astrid, the professor I’ve been explaining to you so far, but there really isn’t a single one of them.”
The professor let out a long sigh.
Astrid couldn’t bear to look at the professor like that, so she hung her head slightly and waited for the professor’s next words.
“If your grades are close to last in your class, shouldn’t you have a good attitude in class? You’re not paying attention, you’re just looking away thinking about the nice weather, and you’re not going to come to your senses?”
It’s eternal.
Astrid couldn’t bear to look straight at the professor.
There was nothing wrong with what the professor said.
Regarding grades, I haven’t tested anything yet, but when I look at my knowledge, it’s almost at the bottom, but when it comes to other classes, it’s not that, and I can’t concentrate like this, so my class attitude isn’t good.

After lunch, Astrid would sit on the bench behind the teacher and pass the time in a daze. He sometimes spends time chatting with the other cadets, but most of the time it was.
Today was no different, so Astrid sat on a bench and looked up blankly at the sky with her head held high.
What the hell am I doing here
Those worries didn’t end there.
In fact, it felt as if the purpose of coming to this academy had all been blurred. So, the plan was to find a way to get back somehow by searching through the materials in the library at this academy, or to break off the engagement after earning Leopold’s hatred for these four years.
First, I searched the academy library to find a way, in fact, this was also the case.
I had already skimmed through the Academy Library. I didn’t expect much, but it was as expected. Isn’t it inevitable that the Academy Library is superior to the Imperial Library?
I didn’t expect to be able to find materials in this academy library that didn’t even exist in the imperial library, and in reality there wasn’t.
There were no summoning magic, space magic, or even barbarian magic books.
And I live for Leopold’s hatred… This was too difficult for now. Maybe, from myself
【Reaction.】
‘… Did you sleep well?’
【I slept soundly… Hey, is class over already?]
I thought she was a very comfortable girl. I was grumpy for no reason to be able to sleep leisurely while someone was rolling to the bone.
‘Some of them can’t even find a way to get back, so they’re doing this, but some of them fall asleep in class.’
【It’s a way back anyway, well, you won’t be able to find it until we return to the north. Isn’t it useless to say it now?]
I’m even more angry because that’s the right word again.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Violet. Violet was approaching Astrid with bobbed hair. Then, without saying that she was going to sit down, she sat down in the seat next to him, but Astrid didn’t say much either.
“Did you eat?”
“Ate.”
“Is it because of the broken thing in class earlier?”
“… Stop doing clumsy consolation.”
Hearing such consolation doesn’t cheer me up. I know I have to study, but I honestly don’t want to do it. It’s all useless knowledge anyway.
Violet glanced sideways at Astrid, who did not respond. He didn’t seem to have much thought about the class.
‘Then let’s change the story.’
“Come to think of it, I mean Cadet Leopold.”
“Huh?”
Astrid, who hadn’t reacted to anything about the class, reacted as soon as Violet mentioned Leopold’s name.
“Hey, he reacts right away when he talks about Cadet Leopold. You really don’t like student Leopold, do you?”
“… Isn’t it like that?”
“Hehe… Okay?”
Violet’s eyes narrowed as she stared at Astrid. Astrid deliberately averted her gaze at that burdensome gaze, ignoring her.
“Astrid, although Cadet Leopold is also a man.”
“… So is he a man or a woman? Say it right.”
“Being a man, he probably likes pretty women, but do you know what the problem is?”
“What.”
Violet raised her finger and patted Astrid on the head. It wasn’t even a forceful tapping, it was a light touch, but Astrid, who didn’t feel good at the fact that he was cutting his hair like that, frowned at him.
“What are you doing.”
“Men don’t like pussies.”
“Puff… What?”
“Oh, excuse me. I’m familiar with the words of the southern sailors. Hmm… To put it mildly, I hate idiots.”
“… Hey, can’t you talk a little bit more moderately? And am I not stupid?”
Astrid wondered if Violet had come to pick a fight with him. It’s not that it’s not, it’s a disturbing game, but I thought Violet came to comfort and encourage me, but it wasn’t either.
Besides, Leopold is also a man, so he hates fools. I’m not stupid.
“To be honest, since Cadet Leopold is the crown prince, shouldn’t we think about the future of the empire?”
“That sounds natural.”
“I said I would help you, but honestly, in the current situation, if Leopold stays engaged and marries you, that would be crazy.”
“Hey, do you really want to fold it in half?”
Astrid’s face started flushing with anger. I don’t even want comfort or encouragement, but isn’t it a little bit like salting like this.
“Even if it’s at least Akemilla, since she’s the daughter of the Daesangdan, there will be her head that basically rolls money. If she marries Akemilla, at least she won’t have to worry too much about the economy of the empire. If the woman who will become the mother of the empire is the daughter of the Daesangdan, well, if she’s in a hurry, she might be able to bring her parents’ capital.”
“Hey, what kind of a bitch are you… “
Astrid stopped trying to say her words. She made it clear that if she did to her Violet what Akemilla had said to her, she would probably go berserk even to Violet. Besides, there is no evidence.
“And if she’s a cadet to Emily, she’s the father of that famous sorcerer. The greatest military sorcerer in the Empire who was the developer of the magic bracelet and led the development of all kinds of magic tools. Besides, he himself is already famous as a wizard. Aren’t his developments in terms of military power certain?”
“Yeah, but the flower of the battlefield is a heavy-duty knight… “
But Astrid was increasingly unable to carry on his words. Because nothing Violet said was actually wrong.
“Besides, even for me, if I become the Crown Princess, at least in land and sea battles, I’ll be completely defenseless, right? It’s unfortunate that it’s a little different from the Mitterien family in the north, but in fact, with the military power of the empire, it will be possible somehow.”
“That… That is… “
“Then, what are the advantages of the empire when I marry you?”
At that question, Astrid was speechless.
But if you think about it, it’s not without its advantages.
“… A beautiful descendant?”
“I’m serious?”
Violet was dumbfounded and stared at Astrid. I wondered if this was sincere, but Astrid surprisingly seemed to be sincere.
Violet was at a loss for words.
“… Class later this afternoon is combat practice… Let’s go, Astrid.”
“Hey, did you sigh just now?! Uh!? Hey!”
Pretending not to hear Astrid’s cry, Violet started to move forward. Judging by Astrid’s intelligence, he certainly thought God was fair.
Violet thought that the balance between innate combat power and intelligence was indeed appropriate.
