Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Rein's POV: ]

"So, you are ultimately saying that the headmaster did this on purpose? He just gave away points at random to things, to environmental factors, and to people? Why would he do that and why does that make sense?!"

Tia was not the most confused person present among us right now but she was the only one that raised that question and, Eon was ready to answer that question already.

"It's not that simple to understand, Tia, Quin, Miss Bell… everyone, but, think about it like this.

There is a game of ball going on, and you are the betters that is trying to earn a good enough money to get out of a life crisis-."

"Wait, wait, wait. Where did betting come from? How is that relevant in this-."

"Tia. That's just an example."

Lizzy had to grab her since was trying to fly towards Eon and shout what she had just said right in his face.

She was frustrated by how they were using technical terms and things that she did not understand at all.

She was a good mage and a good weapon user but when it came to theory, even some of the lowest ranking individuals of this academy were better at most of the things than her.

'She was a fairy so she knew fairy magic instinctively since she was born and she had learned how to fight the monsters in the wild when living on her own with her holy beast wolf.'

She was a princess but she was also not technically the legitimate heir to the throne.

'There were some complications but that wasn't what we were talking about right now.'

She was very good at her own strengthening magic so she was an excellent fighter, there was no actual reason for her to know professional level theories, certainly not something like what these bastards were talking about.

Most of the students didn't even understand the simple things that darling was explaining.

"Ahem. Anyway, just take it that this is an example and nothing related to what we are actually concerned about."

"Wait… if we aren't concerned about this-."

"Miss Luna, that was the only figure of speech. Captain Lucifer meant we don't have to take it as it is.

It is an example that will explain what he is trying to say."

Miss Luna also had a sudden question but thanks to captain Alpha, everyone who was now thinking about what Eon was saying now shut down and were focusing on him.

He sure had a good grasp on these students.

"Haaa… let me rephrase myself if this is too much for everyone.

Just think about yourself as a student of this academy.

There is a certain number of marks that you have to get in order to pass any kind of important academic test.

Now, the teacher that has to give you these marks will have three kinds of responsibilities."

Darling could see that the gambling example wasn't something everyone could relate to since not everyone present here was a noble that was familiar with these kinds of things.

'Everyone knew about the concept of gambling itself, but it wasn't really true that everyone knew how the process of gambling could take place in the setting of the magic ball.'

He was trying to explain something that our two presidents and I had already understood, however, even Newtine and Alf weren't completely sure what exactly these random points even meant.

"The teacher would have to thoroughly evaluate the students that they are incharge of, and it is their responsibility that they do their very best to judge each and every answer that the students have given without any kind of prejudice or bias.

In addition to that, it is their responsibility that, according to the academic rules, they do their best to check the papers in a way that would give the students the best chances of passing the test.

They try to pass the students and they have to do it since it is how the academic system is set to work.

And, thirdly, they also have to make sure anyone that has failed or if there is any chance that the student who has done well in one of the exams, could not do so well in some other one because of personal or environmental factors, receive an appropriate amount of grace points that would give them a better chance when they attempt the next exams or give supplementary tests."

This example that he was giving wasn't that difficult to understand for the students since they understand how the academy actually works and how there really are rules and regulations that are followed at all turns.

The students could understand this example more clearly since it was based on this very academy and not any other one.

'Which is quite amusing, actually. Just shows how much influence the academy and the system here has on all of them.'

My little cute friend as well as the other students here listening to my darling was a fun sight that I wanted to enjoy well, but, what Eon was explaining to them was actually pretty concerning to the four of us.

[{ "Can the headmaster do this? I mean, it's practically manipulation of points that were only meant for the group that was participating in the alchemy competition. What we did there shouldn't be included in this, certainly not in this way.

This is practically dishonest behaviour." }]

[{ "Uriel you are the only one in this student council that would have problem getting some extra free house points. If it was the previous batch of students, our batch to be more specific, they would be at each other's throats by this point for even a few points." }]

Del sounded happy right now for some reason and there was also a mysterious smile on presiden Zod's face that the others wouldn't catch up on since it was too subtle.

But I could see it clearly with my new eyes, and it made me curious.

[{ "You two should be proud of yourself.

What you did there was so amazing that made the headmaster unable to just pass it off as something unrelated to the cometation.

And in the first place, the cometation only came to a good conclusion because you found those bastards and dealt with them so well.

If it weren't for you, there would be no competition and practically none of these points would have gone to any house.

However, you two stopped that from happening. You two did so well on the battlefield that messed with the headmaster's conscience and he had to come up with this strategy to reward you two." }]

[{ "Hmm?" }]

The president spoke up even before I could ask him about his mysterious smile and what he said somewhat did explain the reason behind that smile, but…

[{ "Why would the headmaster consider our actions taken during a personal mission something he would have to reward us in house points with?

I mean… where is the actual reward? Does he want us to be happy with just this? That bastard?!" }]

If that was the case, I'm going to grab Harry's neck and bind him in chains until he takes me where that bastard is right now.

'We worked our asses off after finding those bastards, we got mental And physical trauma from that fucking war with those fucking bastards, we even killed them and contributed in killing damned demons.'

Just the money that we should receive as a compensation should be in hundreds of Wealth points, but he wants us to settle with mere house points?

'Does he think I would-.'

I was angry and I was going to start shouting after the president said all that but, Eon knew I was going to do something stupid and looked at me before I foolishly did something and shook his head.

[{ "President meant on top of giving us what we deserve for all that we did, he felt the need to do something in this manner as well.

It's his duty to pay for us as much as we had achieved on the missions, but the reason he had to fight with his own conscience and add something more to that reward that wouldn't be something physical and something actually useful to us.

Thus he added the random points to this whole point distribution that magically mostly went to the two of our houses." }]

[{ "Oh…?" }]

It was fine if he hadn't forgotten about our rewards. But if he had, I would be the last person he would have to face.

'I might not be able to put even a scratch on him, but both of us know well just how much trouble I can cause for him.'

I will never forget how he had tricked me into taking this role and I will make sure he does not forget either.

"I see…"

"The random points. That's something I completely missed."

"I see. This makes total sense now."

"It does make sense, hun. How the hell did you even come up with this?"

Now that we were clear on how and why and what, everyone were back to their cheerful state.

Cradle was cursing again, and so was Tia and Carla. Alf was shouting questions while Newtine was rechecking his own analysis.

The room was back to being a happy place once again, and… now that the matter with the point distribution was done, the two of us were going to join Del and Zod to the headmaster's office.

There were a few things that we had to talk about.

'Some big things as well, actually.'

But he will not have to worry about anything much.

He was a good headmaster of this great academy and I'm a good student. That was all there was to this relationship.
