Chapter 29 – It’s Cheap and Just Scrubbed
***
A knock was heard and Ann, who was in charge of the EL group (girl group) and Holland, who was in charge of the EK group (boy group), entered the harmony department.
Melissa was sitting in the professor’s office.
“Come on.”
“Hello.”
“Hello, good morning.”
Morning Coordination Faculty Meeting.
Ann and Holland brought their own tea and sat down.
“Where’s the rookie? Can’t you see?”
“Assistant Professor Naru won’t go to work today. They say there are personal circumstances.”
Melissa said nonchalantly as she crossed her legs in her stockings in a short purple skirt.
She closed the file she was flipping through.
“Therefore, we have a meeting today.”
“I miss that friend often.”
Anne shook her head at Holland’s muttering.
“I don’t think I missed anything other than running errands for the professor last morning.”
“It’s fun to play with newbies, but I don’t have time to play with them because I can’t see them.”
“People don’t play with them.”
“Assistant Professor Ann, don’t you understand my feelings? I want to be friends with you.”
“If I were to become close with assistant professor Holland, I would go to the brothel every day and drink bomb liquor.”
“I don’t know men. You have to burn hot every day to be a man.”
“Then I lose my money, lose my health, and die.”
“Come on, let’s start the meeting.”
Starting with Melissa’s words, the students of Group EL and EK talked about the status and grades, and discussions about today’s schedule were also held.
Lastly, we talked about the RS group.
“Hayley. Shouldn’t we move to the EL group now? It’s not a score that will remain in the RS group. It is judged that it is better to move to the EL group classroom with a higher level system than the RS group classroom in a poor environment. It’s easy for Haisley to form friendships with the children of various noble families.”
“Ann. Hazel has only been doing well for a week now. Let’s watch some more. Let’s discuss it slowly with assistant professor Naru and wait for about a month before making a decision.”
“Oh right. I saw Lydia this morning.”
After Holland yawned, she continued.
“Did you go into the classroom?”
“Lydia? Why?”
“The burn marks on her body were also gone. Her skin was perfectly clear.”
Ann muttered to herself.
“Aren’t you kidding?”
“Assistant Professor Ann. Hear everything.”
Holland looked at her, then back at her Melissa.
“I thought you were looking at someone else. She approached and asked, and she said it was Lydia.”
“No way. Lydia’s burn scars won’t go away easily. She was hit by her dragon breath, which left scars for eternity.”
“If you don’t believe me, go check it out for yourself.”
Melissa thought for a moment, then she asked.
“Where is Lydia now?”
She said, “She is taking a combat training class.”
“Then she will be in the sparring room. The morning meeting ends here. Everyone, please go back and work hard today as well. Effort.”
“Wait. I will go too.”
“Me too. I wonder if what Assistant Professor Holland said is true.”
“Because it is true.”
The three immediately left the professor’s office and headed for the training room where the combat training lecture was in full swing.
People were already flocking to the hallway of the training room, which looked like an indoor gym.
Professors and assistant professors from other houses, as well as academy office staff, came and looked into the meeting room blocked by the transparent glass wall.
“Are you really Lydia? Are you a little older than that?”
“When was the last time you were burned?”
“Has it been two or three years?
“I haven’t seen you in a really long time. It’s pretty because there are no scars.”
The wide corridor was as noisy as the market floor.
When everyone heard that Lydia showed up for a lecture, she came running in surprise.
It is also true that Lydia was the best swordsman prodigy that Vizdra Academy boasts, enough to occupy the cover model of the academy’s publicity booklet for a long time three years ago.
She was a celebrity no one knew within the academy.
“Lydia, I want to see your skills after a long time. If your skills have declined, show your everything honestly as you have declined. That way, I can guide you according to your ability in the future.”
“Yes.”
“I will evaluate your skills from now on. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I am ready.”
Training room.
A professor standing in the center of the training room snapped his fingers as hundreds of students watched from around.
A door in the room opened, and a knight fully armed from head to toe in full plate armor approached with a heavy metal sound and stood facing Lydia.
The students whispered to each other.
“It’s Sir Walter, the Vizdra Knight.”
“Isn’t that ghost our 12th grade final boss level? How did Lydia overcome that?”
“I’m going there to kill the kid who has been resting for a while.”
Vizdra Night.
They are guards protecting the academy as the thought bodies of the deceased who graduated from the academy from the last year to as far as 200 years ago.
Even though it was a thought body, its ability was comparable to that of the main body in life.
“Lydia. There’s a lot of strength in her shoulders. Take a few deep breaths and relax.”
“It must be because I came here after a long time.”
Lydia took a deep breath and clutched her wooden sword with both her hands.
Sir Walter, who was confronting her, had a large, flat-bladed wooden sword in his hand.
‘Naru. Look straight ahead It’s the second life you made. I won’t live in vain.’
Lydia was more spleen than ever.
3 years ago.
Despite her student status, she was given the right to participate in a monster subjugation squad made up of adults in recognition of her talent.
Lydia, whose dream was to become a knight, wanted to gain her practical experience, and she proudly applied.
It was one day when she worked hard as a servant for several weeks and followed her punitive squad.
That day was really unlucky.
A dragon appeared by chance in the village where the subjugation team was staying, and burned the whole village as if something had gone against the guy’s heart.
In the midst of a fire sweeping through the village, Lydia was hit instead by the dragon breath while trying to save the village children.
In an instant, she let out her scream as her armor melted and her whole body roared.
If the saintess of the subjugation party hadn’t saved her quickly, she wouldn’t be in the present world.
‘Regained life. Second chance. I’ll become strong enough to kill that bastard, then that dragon alone!’
Since she suffered body burns, in her classroom she was always a problem child with no will to study, but she did not neglect her training when she returned home.
She sharpened alone where no one else could see, swinging her sword again and again until it bruised all over her body and bled from her grip every day.
The only reason she slept every day in the classroom was that her body needed time to recover during the day.
She didn’t completely give up on her life.
I endured it with one single thought to kill the dragon.
“Okay then.”
The professor raised his hand.
“Begin.”
As soon as she could finish her words, Lydia shot out like an arrow.
Holland, who was watching through the glass wall, murmured.
“Oh, that’s fast.”
“Isn’t that the image of a kid who left his sword behind? Good start Neat.”
Melissa, who has a good swordsmanship, was also impressed.
And since Lydia exchanged her wooden sword with Sir Walter in earnest, her hallway became very noisy.
“Hey, that’s swordsmanship.”
“The skills that dominated the school year didn’t go anywhere.”
Lydia’s sword swings.
Every time the sword was swung, there was even a distortion phenomenon that seemed to cut through space.
Pak, right!
Charleureuk!
Crackle!
Sir Walter, who has frustrated countless Year 12 students in exams, is pushed back.
He backed away, barely defending himself.
Everyone cheered.
Lydia’s skills far exceeded those of her peers.
“What are you doing with so many people?”
Chancellor Robert and his aides, who happened to be passing by, stopped in their tracks.
As if I had forgotten what I was trying to do and was possessed, I stared into the training room in a state of disdain for a moment.
“I don’t know who it is, but they do it like a god. Haha.”
Then President Robert said, ‘Huh? That kid can’t be… ?’ As he blinked his eyes several times.
“That kid… Isn’t that Lydia?”
“You’re right. This is Lydia.”
When Melissa answered, Robert nodded and touched his chin.
“Hoo… In the time I didn’t see her, her arms and legs were elongated. It will be easier to fight than before. But you didn’t get burned?”
Professor Padley from the Coexistence Department squeezed in and intervened.
“I heard Lydia say earlier that assistant professor Naru treated her body with the only elixir in the world.”
“Is it so? Assistant Professor Naru?”
“I heard that it is a mysterious elixir that I obtained during an adventure in the past.”
“Looks like it’s really valuable.”
At that moment, Melissa tilted her head slightly.
‘Was there anything like that? To Naru?’
Suddenly, the students shouted.
At the same time, strong applause broke out.
Sir Walter, pushed by Lydia’s ferocity, knocked her on the buttock.
Even the professors and assistant professors all laughed and clapped.
“Lydia, she hasn’t changed at all!”
“You’re so good at being creepy!”
“It would be nice to use it to raise the reputation of our school like before!”
“Let’s go cover model now!”
President Robert chuckled.
“That Naru friend. He seems to love his students so much that he is willing to use the precious elixir. Mmmm, that’s great. This is the attitude of a devoted educator that everyone should emulate.”
Assistant Professor Ann was quietly eavesdropping on the conversation between the president and the professors.
Looking at Lydia through her glass wall, she remembered Naru.
‘He said he made it like that? That kid? That incorrigible child? After Hazel… ?’
My first impression was that the divorced woman seemed like a normal person… Are you doing surprisingly well?
I started to take an interest in Naru for some reason.
Meanwhile, at that time, Naru was dressed neatly and standing in front of the palace.
“Huh, are you seeing the queen after two years? Nervous.”
He held the requested necklace in his hand and took a vigorous step toward the palace.
