I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy

I accepted the emperor’s proposal, and everything went smoothly after that.
“Originally, I was going to transfer the vice-chancellor’s office or the president’s office, but Prince Louis said he wanted this…”

Imperial Academy main building, senior professor’s office.
Ruid looked around the large room.

“thank you.”

Phenicia said with a faint smile.

“I heard that my father prevented me from resigning.”

“??”

Ruid has never been like that.

“For that, you sacrifice yourself and even take on a professorship that you don’t want to take on.”

Phenicia’s eyes turned red. She gently wiped her eyes with her hands.

“???”

Ruid was dumbfounded. What excuse did the emperor use?

“Look at my mind. “First, let me introduce the workshop.”

Phenicia explained the details of the professor’s office.

“This entire building is strong enough to withstand the third spell. However, the average is that most of the time, only the 2nd magic is tested here, and from the 3rd magic onwards, research is conducted in the magic workshop located in the basement.”

The standards for dividing magic are largely hierarchical and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
If the hierarchy is a small category, the latter is a major category.
It is a similar concept to 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional, and 3-dimensional.

Phenicia opened the door on the wall. Beyond the open door, I saw a basement shrouded in darkness.

“Starting from the 3rd spell, the soundproofing wasn’t working properly, so there was a problem with noise between floors. Of course, I wonder if any professor would dare to complain to Prince Ruid just because he makes a little noise.”

Phenicia smiled brightly and closed the door.

“As you may have already heard, you are free to do whatever you want. Confucius Ruid’s presence at the Academy already has sufficient merit. Just thank you for coming and thank you for helping us. and.”

Phenicia stood in front of Ruid.
He didn’t pat Ruid’s head like people always did, and he didn’t look at him with cute eyes.

He just slowly lowered his head and spoke.

“I’m sorry so far.”

Ruid tilted his head.

This is because Phenicia had nothing to apologize to.

“Prince Ruid was just an ordinary student, but asking him to catch a warlock was too much to ask.”

“…Professor Phenicia doesn’t need to apologize.”

Phenicia raised her head and smiled.

“I’m apologizing on behalf of my father. It looks like he wants to apologize, but it seems like it’s not easy because of his pride. But please don’t hate me too much. “You’re just not good at expressing yourself, but you’re not a bad person.”

“yes.”

Ruid, who had no ill feelings towards Clifford, nodded.

Phenicia said as she straightened her clothes.

“Then I’ll just go. If you need anything, please let me know anytime. I’m in the room next to this. By the way, what should I call you from now on? professor?”

“Please just call me Ruid.”

“Yes, Lord Luid.”

“Luid.”

Phenicia blushed.

“…Luid.”

“Stop talking.”

“That’s Chacha…”

Phenicia couldn’t easily let go of words to Luid.
This is because we need to make sure that no one gets offended and runs out of the academy again.
But if I said anything, I felt like I would find Ruid cute without even realizing it.

“But what should I do? “Do I need to take a class or something?”

Ruid asked just in case.

Phenicia shook her head.

“nothing. You don’t have to do anything. As I said before, Ruid has a huge impact on the academy just by existing.”

“yes.”

Phenicia bowed her head and left the room.

Ruid is left alone.

He thought deeply.

“They say you don’t have to do anything…”

But I did receive a fiefdom.

No matter how much Luid was, he had no intention of just gulping down a piece of territory and playing and eating it.

“Still, we have to give the emperor the minimum he expects.”

Ruid decided that he should serve her just this once.

If I had asked for even a little something, I think it would have been more annoying, but everyone doesn’t have to do anything. Just exist. When I said that, I naturally felt like I wanted to help.

If you were planning on getting something in exchange for goodwill… your plan is a success.

**

Ruid participated in the meeting.

I thought that if I wanted to do something right away, I would have to look at the atmosphere first.

The table in the academy’s conference room was shaped like a round table. It was an artistic expression that everyone could speak equally. The person who came up with this idea was the first emperor. If you like equality, it’s usually the first emperor’s idea.

“…Then, let us begin the second quarter meeting of the Imperial Academy.”

There was a somewhat quiet atmosphere in the conference room.

The Academy was currently going through upheaval.

Clifford’s resignation, Luid’s appointment as professor emeritus.

It was scheduled to be officially revealed at today’s meeting. However, what was unexpected was Ruid’s participation.

The professors all glanced at Luid’s face.

“Before we begin, I think there will be many people who are curious.” Phenicia consulted the document and read it.

“Currently, the honorable and noble Imperial Academy was founded by the first emperor and has continued for about 400 years.”

“You bitch.”

Clifford gave a lecture with an “Aing” and “Tsk tsk” sound.

“If the introduction is that long, it won’t convey what you want to convey. Information should be conveyed as briefly and concisely as possible. “Take the gossip and throw it in the trash.”

Ruid was reminded of a historical drama.

The crown prince acts as a proxy, and the king watches and gives advice once in a while.

Clifford was exactly like that. He said he would give an example.

“I will entrust full authority to Phenicia and Louis Christopher. Externally, I am still the president, but these two people decide the direction of the Imperial Academy.”

Clifford was a cushion. This was because they were concerned that there would be strong opposition if Phenicia was appointed president.

He made a fuss saying he would retire, but the emperor told him to at least play the role of a scarecrow.

‘That’s the only way to reduce backlash. Age is an undeniable factor.’

Lucius was a wise emperor. His skills are definitely good. The drive and charisma to push ahead without hesitation when he thought it was right were clear qualities of a leader.

Ruid truly thought so. I am definitely not doing this by giving away a rich land with plenty of sunlight and food.

“So, keep all your conversations with these two. “I just sign the payment documents.”

Phenicia pouted her lips and threw the documents on the floor. He said, looking around at the professors without reading the speech.

“This is Phenicia Finens, who has become vice-chancellor starting today. i look forward to.”

The professors applauded in unison. At least none of them had any disagreement. I didn’t know that Phenicia was already playing the role of vice-chancellor.

The professors looked at Ruid with nervous eyes. The important thing was Luid. They still didn’t know what Ruid’s role was.

-‘I think I heard you called a professor.’

-‘Chief professor? The skills are definitely…’

-‘For a professor, the president’s words seem to be a problem. They say it has a decisive role in the direction of the academy.’

“As everyone knows, this person’s name is Louis Christopher Windsor.”

Phenicia deliberately emphasized the name Windsor.

“The official title is Professor Emeritus, but this is only an excuse. Prince Ruid is here to protect the academy, which has recently been targeted by a warlock. “I was a student not long ago, but I believe that no professor is foolish enough to make the mistake of still treating me like a student.”

“…!”

This was something that Ruid already knew. The emperor emphasized several times that ‘a plausible cause must always exist.’ I’m not really asking you to play that role.

…He’s like a snarky snake.

“Let’s talk about the rest step by step, and let’s resolve the urgent matters first.”

Phenicia spoke skillfully.

The reason we gathered all the professors today was not only to reveal this fact, but also because there was something more important.

“This is the first agenda item. “Everyone knows that the conflict between nobles and commoners has reached its peak at the Academy recently.”

“Hmm.”

The professors let out an uncomfortable sigh.

Conflict between nobles and commoners.

It’s been a subject every year, but this time it was a little harsh.

The nobles cleverly harassed the commoners without violating the school rules.

“After all, shouldn’t we be restrained?”

“It’s ambiguous because I’m not doing anything that violates the school rules. Rather, aren’t it the commoner students who use magic indoors?”

“…There are already some ordinary students who are paying attention. There are also students who complain that it is painful.”

“According to His Majesty the First Emperor’s will, shouldn’t we intervene?”

“Commoners and nobles cannot be equal.”

Ruid spoke in a quiet voice. But the effect was amazing. The room suddenly became quiet.

“How can it be the same when the environments we have lived in are different?”

“Prince Luid. However, we cannot ignore His Majesty the First Emperor’s will.”

The only black-haired man here.
Leffen Chaser spoke in a calm voice.

“I didn’t specifically tell you to ignore it.”

Ruid said something he had wanted to say for a long time.

“Don’t just say equality on the surface, but create such an environment. Wash the kids first. We also provide etiquette training. “I can assure you that half of the conflicts will disappear if you just teach etiquette.”

“….”

There was a reason for the momentary silence.
This is because the academy was already providing etiquette education for commoners.
It’s just that they’re so crazy about not listening and talking about oppression of commoners and all that.
Ruid didn’t know that either.
So, one more condition was added.

“By force.”

“Force… you mean?”

“That is also according to the will of His Majesty the First Emperor…”

Don’t discriminate. No corporal punishment. Don’t force me to do anything. Take care with love. Be generous to students.

The first emperor’s will roughly goes like this.
Of course you are right. When people are of a certain level, the value of equality becomes important.
But this wasn’t the case in the Middle Ages.
Give the people of this era the right to vote right now.
The empire will prosper within 10 years.

‘The villain of this world must be the first emperor.’

Ruid could be sure of that. I want to see a face steeped in the ideology of the chosen people.

However, it is not good to say that the first emperor was wrong or something. For the nobles of this era, the first emperor is the ‘standard’ itself. He is the one who created the empire, so it is even more strange that he was not deified.

“Let’s take a detour. “We are introducing penalty points.”

“demerit?”

“yes. For example, Phenicia gets 3 penalty points.”

Phenicia blinked.

“four?”

“30 points for talking back.”

“??”

“You got 17 points because you didn’t answer. “The total score is 50, so Phenicia is expelled.”

Phenicia understood immediately.

“You want to introduce such a system.”

“The penalty points themselves are no punishment, right? Since it is not a direct punishment, it does not violate the will of the first emperor.”

The Academy always handles it as a trial. In Ruid’s view, it was too inefficient.

‘Why aren’t there any penalty points here? I wonder if it’s a regular material.’

The reason came out right away.

“Are penalty points awarded on the spot without a disciplinary committee? “At personal discretion.”

“Yes.”

“…Wouldn’t this be controversial?”

‘Why are you being so unnecessarily nice…’

In Ruid’s view, nobles also had problems. Too polite. If it’s the Middle Ages, shouldn’t we live with the phrase, ‘How dare commoners…!’ Like Damon.

“The important thing is to recognize that it can immediately put you at a disadvantage. Holding a disciplinary committee later has a different impact than giving even a minor punishment right then and there. “If you gave the wrong penalty, you can hold a meeting with the professor later and punish him.”

Ruid waited for the next rebuttal.

Saying things like, ‘No matter what, we are professors, should we be punished?’ or ‘It’s too late to penalize us for not taking etiquette training…’ etc.

However, the professors’ reaction was different from expectations.

“Well, I will do that.”

“Well, this is a really current issue.”

Ruid was rather embarrassed when the professors convinced him so easily.

‘weird. Changing old habits is bound to result in a big backlash.’

But Ruid didn’t know.

Unlike the students at the academy who were easily captivated by the mask of equality they wore on the outside.

They had nothing like that, and the word of a high-ranking noble was law!

There was no one here who could refute Ruid’s words.

Clifford opened his eyes, looked at the professors, and then struck the hammer.

“Ahh, tsk tsk, you can’t even say a word to a 12-year-old. That’s what I will decide.”
