Chapter 1099 – 1099. Magic School Shutra (7)
There are a total of two exams officially conducted by Shutra School.
Spring semester exams and fall semester exams.
And after the exams, we naturally go into vacation, so the fall semester exams…
“Chairman, this is your last test, right?”
It was an important exam that was recognized as a de facto graduation exam for third-year students.
Ariel heard me and nodded with a subtle smile.
“Yes, it’s the last time.”
“OMG… If you just pass this exam, you will be escaping from study hell. After… “I’m jealous.”
What Hanelone said just now were words that were considered taboo words that should not come out of the mouth of a Shutra student.
However, neither Ariel nor anyone else in the student council room criticized Hanelone.
Because she knew very well that what she said was a joke.
“Still, I think it will be a shame when I graduate.”
Even Ariel, who is inflexible, accepted Hanelone’s words well at this moment.
“The moment you graduate, you will no longer have the opportunity to learn as a student.”
The moment third-year students graduate, they give up their student status and return to their normal status.
No matter how preferentially the Shutra School treats its students, the moment you graduate, you will no longer be able to receive all the Shutra School’s educational courses.
And not only will you be excluded from the training course, but you will also not be able to use all of Shutra’s facilities.
A representative example is a library.
The only people who can use the Shutra School library are professors and students.
Therefore, it is no longer possible for graduates to acquire all the knowledge of the Shutra School.
It was even implicitly prohibited to ask for basic magic advice from a professor you were familiar with.
For your information, there is no problem at all with advice from a professor.
Looking at this alone, it would seem that the treatment of graduates is too harsh.
But that was only the superficial appearance.
“So, Chairman. “Did you see the announcement earlier?”
“Notice?”
“Yes, a recruitment notice for teaching assistants has been posted.”
Shutra School is considerate of graduates and recruits talented individuals in advance to remain at the school and assist them.
In the case of nobles or members of wealthy families, they do not pay attention to recruitment announcements because it is better for them to return to their country and receive the country’s benefits.
But what about commoners, or even graduates who have no home to return to?
To them, that recruitment announcement was like a blessing from heaven.
In other words, Shutra School only restored learning opportunities to students, but did not erase the relationship with them.
“Ah, it’s a recruitment notice… It’s that kind of time. “I guess the cost and US dollars also went up?”
“Yes, but you know… Everyone is only interested in teaching assistants…”
“Haha… Well, teaching assistants are popular. Are librarians as popular as teaching assistants?”
“I think I’m better at being a librarian than a teaching assistant. “I don’t want to have such long dark circles.”
“Haha… The teaching assistants are having a hard time.”
Thanks to the conversation between Hanelone, Milena, and Ariel, we were able to learn that Shutra School treats its graduates well.
But there was something that broke up such a pleasant conversation.
“Isn’t that what a teaching assistant or a janitor is?”
“…”
Edgar Horwitz.
It was a man who was the current vice president.
The bright atmosphere suddenly turned cold due to Edgar’s unpleasant tone.
However, Ariel smiled and answered despite Edgar’s unpleasant words and actions.
“Don’t you think it would be better to be a teaching assistant next to the professors?”
“No, when I look at them, they both look the same. Above all, can a teaching assistant become a professor if he or she works hard?”
“It’s not true, but thanks to the teaching assistants’ hard work, we can have a comfortable class…”
“Joy… In the end, they are just the same servants. “It would be better to just go back to my country than to be treated like a servant.”
“…”
Despite Ariel’s efforts, the atmosphere could not be revived.
I couldn’t help but tilt my head as I looked at that cold atmosphere.
‘Why is he like that again?’
Edgar Horwitz was originally a man who complained a lot.
But it wasn’t to that extent.
All I did was quietly grumble.
While I was wondering, Ariel started to liven up the mood again as the student council president.
“Okay, since that story isn’t important, let’s end it here and get to the point.”
Ariel brought up again the topic she had brought up the first time.
“Let’s start by dividing the number of people.”
“How many people?”
I didn’t really understand what you said earlier about preparing for the fall semester exam.
But why the distribution of personnel?
When I asked, Ariel brightened her stiff expression and nodded her head.
“Huh. “Edgar and I will each take charge of you and guide you in studying for the exam.”
Study guidance provided by the student council every semester.
Two third-graders shared and taught their juniors the exams they had taken and past exams.
First of all, I understood.
“But is there a reason you need to divide the number of people?”
“Huh. “If two people teach at the same time, efficiency decreases, so we decided that it would be better to use the same attributes if possible.”
“Ah…”
I also understood the reason for dividing the number of people.
Both Ariel and Edgar Horwitz are at the top anyway, so there won’t be much difference in the teaching aspect.
So, it was decided to separate each attribute by considering efficiency.
“Okay, then we’ll have to divide the number of people…”
Ariel muttered and looked at me…
“It would be better for Edgar to take charge of Louis, and me to take charge of the other three.”
She decided on the number of people right away.
Everyone was confused by Ariel’s decision and looked at each other blankly.
However, one of them barely came to his senses and came forward with a rebuttal.
It was Edgar Horwitz.
“For a moment! Why should I take charge of that guy!?”
“…”
And Louise, who gets wrinkles on her forehead while receiving Edgar’s pointing.
Louis also looked annoyed by Edgar’s words and actions, but opened his mouth as if responding to his words.
“That’s right, Chairman. There is no need for the vice president to take charge of me, right? And that’s just me…”
“That’s right! As before, I am the one in charge of Hanelone…”
In this way, Louis and Edgar joined together to protest against Ariel.
However, Ariel did not give in to the two people’s rebuttal and calmly began to explain the reason.
“It was distributed considering attributes.”
“Attribute?”
“Edgar, what are your primary and secondary attributes?”
“Fire property and sustainability.”
“Lewis, what about you?”
“… “Fire property and sustainability.”
“Yes, that’s why.”
It was such a simple, yet so perfect reason.
However, even though Ariel gave such a perfect reason, the two were not convinced at all.
This time too, Edgar took the initiative to protest.
“What’s the big deal about those attributes? Teaching other attributes is not difficult at all!”
“It won’t be difficult. But you didn’t take the water and wind property tests, right?”
“That… But…”
“What’s important to us is the test. If possible, it would be better for me to teach because I have experience with the same attribute test. Even for those kids.”
“That… That…”
When Edgar was pushed out by Ariel, Louis took his place as if he had been touched by the baton.
“And Chairman, don’t you all have the same characteristics?”
“They’re not all the same, but they’re almost the same.”
“Yes… ?”
Ariel slowly began to explain while looking at Hanelone and Milena.
“Hanelone and Milena, what were you two like?”
The two people answered the same way as if one person had spoken.
“”Fire attribute, wind attribute.””
After hearing the two people’s answers, Ariel looked at Louis and nodded.
“I’m also a fire attribute and a wind attribute. That’s why we distributed it like this.”
“Well, then that guy…”
Lewis pointed at me, and I furrowed my brows at the sight.
‘… We’ll see later.’
I lowered my brow, conscious of the other people’s gaze that had been focused on me by Lewis’ pointing.
As soon as Ariel saw me, she calmly opened her mouth.
“I thought it would be better for me to take on Suho since he has a Thunder attribute and a Wind attribute.”
“…”
At Ariel’s answer, Louis also became quiet, as if he had nothing more to say.
But the silence in the student council room did not last that long.
“No matter how much you are the student council president, you can’t make such a reckless decision.”
It was Edgar.
On the surface, Edgar held the position of vice president and seemed to have lower authority than Ariel, the student council president, but the reality was different.
He also joined the student council because his grades were recognized, and he never once missed the title of second place in the school.
‘Well, I don’t think I’ve ever won first place…’
Even though he was in second place behind Ariel and was vice president with a low rank…
“It wasn’t a decision made recklessly, but it was all about efficiency…”
“If that kind of thing is efficient, leave me out.”
“…”
There was no reason to take orders from her classmate Ariel.
And Louis, who was encouraged by Edgar’s words, also began to speak.
“As the Chairman said, consistency of attributes is important, but I think it is much better to bring together like-minded people.”
“…”
Ariel looks at Edgar and Louise with an embarrassed expression.
I had no intention of complaining about her decision, but she was also curious.
‘Is this really decided for efficiency reasons?’
If we were to measure real efficiency, each third-year student should be in charge of one first-year and one second-year student.
However, Ariel had divided the number of people 1:3, leaving out the most important part.
The only positive aspect was that Ariel was in charge of more people and showed a sense of responsibility.
Thanks to Edgar and Louise’s remarks, a silence began to flow in the student council room, as if submerged in the deep sea.
The person who floated the student council room trapped in the abyss above sea level and exposed it to the sun was none other than…
“Huh? “What are you all doing standing around?”
It was an old professor who opened the door of the student council room and entered without knocking.
With the appearance of the old professor, Ariel and Edgar, who were in the student council room, bowed in horror and shouted.
“Oh, Professor Magtar! Hello!”
“Oh, hello!!”
And Hanelone and Milena, who responded to the greetings of the two people, also quickly bowed and greeted.
“Oh, hello!”
“Welcome, professor, welcome!”
Then, Lewis and I, first year students, also said hello.
“…”
“…”
However, we felt like things would get messy if we opened our mouths, so we just bowed down in line with the other seniors.
So, six people bowed down like dominoes…
“My ears are falling, you guys!”
Instead, he started giving insults to the six people who greeted him.
After being scolded by Professor Magta, Ariel and Edgar apologized in cold sweat.
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re so surprised…”
“Whoa… It’s done.”
In response to Professor Magta, the six of her who had bowed down simultaneously straightened their backs and took a polite stance towards her.
As the six people remained silent and polite, Professor Magtar grumbled and asked.
“But what are you guys doing, all standing like that?”
“Oh, that’s…”
Ariel explained the situation in detail while watching her.
It was as if he couldn’t even lie to the professor.
“There were complaints while adjusting the number of people, and we are currently adjusting.”
As Ariel’s explanation ended, Professor Magtar burst into laughter.
Hehe… Just by looking at your appearance, you would think you were discussing important issues for the country.”
“S-sorry. To show you like this…”
“Ugh… Are you apologizing again for telling me to laugh?”
“Crime… Sorry… “I do.”
“It’s done.”
In response to Professor Magta’s lament, Ariel looked at her and asked carefully.
“Professor… What’s going on here… ?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special… “I came here because I had something I wanted to say to you while I was passing by.”
“Hey, come this way.”
Ariel hurriedly guided Professor Magtar to her hospitality sofa.
Professor Magta nodded, followed her lead, and sat down on the hospitality sofa.
“Ugh… “It’s hard to even sit down now.”
“Tea, I’ll bring you tea.”
“Okay, bring me one.”
“If there’s a car you want, that’s it…”
When Ariel asked Professor Magtar, Professor Magtar spoke to Ariel in his playful tone.
“You choose.”
“Yes?”
“Choose the tea that suits your taste and bring it to me. Let’s see if your sense is as good as your magic skills.”
“Well, that…” Oh, I see…”
Ariel began to pick her tea in a hurry.
And Professor Magtar looks at Ariel with a happy smile as she chooses her car.
Professor Magtar looked at Ariel with a smile for a while…
“Oh… There, you…”
“Yes?”
I called Edgar.
As soon as Edgar heard Professor Magtar’s call, he straightened his back and took a stance with an expression filled with anticipation.
It was as if he had expectations that he would be treated like Ariel.
But Edgar’s expectations…
“… What was your name?”
I was shattered by Professor Magta’s expressionless words.
