The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Three gold coins (2)

The early morning air is not that cold.

When I got out of bed, I noticed moisture all over my body. It seemed like a cold sweat.

I don’t really remember what I was dreaming about, but I guess it wasn’t a very good dream.

As I open the cabin door and go out toward the camp, I am familiar with the unique atmosphere of early morning, when there is still some subtle darkness.

The start of each day was always similar. Stretching among the forest covered in soft fog.

Come to think of it, Lucy hasn’t been coming to camp often lately. I think it’s no big deal. He is not a person who should be busy with other matters.

I feel empty because I can no longer see anyone sleeping somewhere nearby. If I get the chance, I might want to ask Mr. Bell.

“Did you wake up a little early?”

In order to take the end-of-semester exam, I had to use my morning time to look through books on the history of magic, and I plan to revive the bonfire and prepare a simple meal.

Normally, it is rare to prepare a meal using fire in the morning. It became a natural routine to take a light canter to the teaching building every morning. There is no point in eating a hearty meal before exercising.

However, in recent years, starting fire has become a matter of course. This is because one more mouth has been added.

Yenika is still getting a good night’s sleep. I lightly drew on my body’s magical power to prepare a simple breakfast before Yenika woke up.

The magical power gathered at the tip of the finger is directed towards the bonfire, and soon ignition magic is manifested. I took a large iron pot, fixed it on a stand above the campfire, and boiled water from the river.

“…”

Then, I took out the wizardry book I had packed and sat down on a nearby tree stump.

The air in the forest at dawn is still humid.

The sound of birds chirping occasionally echoed through the quiet atmosphere, and something like a squirrel was seen scurrying through the grass.

Intoxicated by the forest air, I flipped through a book on wizardry.

“……”

I can feel the popularity.

I didn’t bother to look up.

That direction is the tree stump next to where I sit.

A girl with a familiar appearance is sitting quietly there. It’s hard to see her facial expression because of her bangs, but her mouth is smiling happily anyway.

At first glance, he appears to be smiling with satisfaction and satisfaction… but seeing him bleeding profusely is not natural for anyone to see. Her light yellow hair is filled with beautifully embroidered flowers, and the blood flowing from her body flows down the tree stump and down to the dirt floor. A blood-soaked lute is leaning somewhat on the side of a tree stump.

He was a bard who tried his best to save his life, but ultimately passed away.

I was quietly turning the pages of the book.

I didn’t react to such a strange scene, nor did I shake my head to try to get rid of the hallucination.

Although there is venom in my eyes, the speed at which I turn the pages of the book does not change.

There is nothing more foolish than losing your senses due to temporary emotional changes and ruining your pace.

I didn’t run away or make a fuss… I just sat quietly by the fire and turned the pages of the book.

“I think I can handle low-level spirits now.”

More than a week has already passed since Yenika used the ring to summon the highest spirit.

This is Yenika, who has been leading her daily life with the help of Bell and I. He seemed to feel sorry every time, probably because he had accumulated a lot of debt in his heart.

Being able to handle lower-level spirits means that Yenika can now handle the basics of life on her own. It was a pretty positive sign.

“Really? You tried it once?”

“I was worried that my magic might be messed up, so I didn’t do it, but since Ed is by my side, I’m going to give it a try. Now, I have to go to class too. The exam is coming up soon.”

I don’t think it would be a big problem for Yenika’s grades if she was sick for a few weeks, but she still had to go out to show her face on the day of the exam.

Yenika, who was sitting by the fire, concentrated her mind and soon began to emit magical power little by little from the tips of her fingers.

The words whispered softly are a spell to summon lower spirits. It sounded quite familiar.

In fact, Yenika is a girl who has the skill to perform low-level spirit tasks as naturally as breathing without chanting spells. In the first place, there was no way he had summoned hundreds of lower-level spirits by memorizing spells one by one.

However, since he is now mentally and physically weak and it has been a while since he has manifested his magical powers, he seems to be taking things cautiously.

No matter how bad my physical condition was, I thought I would be able to summon a low-level spirit with ease. Isn’t he a spiritist who can handle even the highest ranking spirits if he is prepared to die?

“Uh huh…”

But Yenika started to stumble. I quickly got up from the tree stump and supported Jenica.

While I was supporting Yenika’s body, a large fire flickered from the magic power that was unleashed from my fingertips. Eventually, what rose from the flames was the low-ranking fire spirit Mug.

[ Ugh! You finally called me! Miss Yenica! ]

“Cough… Cough…!”

Jenica sneezed and buried herself in my direction. Seeing that his face was flushed, it seemed like his fever had started to rise again.

When I brought some water that was nearby and poured it into her mouth, Yenika swallowed it with difficulty.

“This is strange… this much magical power…”

[ Yes, Miss Yenika… Could it be because of me…? ]

Just like that, Mug was sitting on a nearby rock, twisting his body as if he was feeling sorry.

“Are you okay? Can you hear me?”

“Uh, yeah… the burden of magical power was greater than I expected… so I was confused…”

[Are you talking about me…? That fire candle mug, which is nothing more than a low-level spirit… No matter how abnormal her physical condition may be, there is no way that Lady Yenika would feel burdened…] After

hearing those words, I looked at the mug and saw that the flame surrounding her body was indeed there. The amount of magical power floating around is unusual.

“Mug.”

[ Yes yep! Master Ed! ]

When I quietly called his name, Mug raised his head with an expression as if he were a sinner. And answering with an upright posture is a sign of military discipline.

“It looks like you will undergo a phase shift sooner or later.”

By slowly flowing my body’s magical power into Yenika, the magical burden caused by the mug was eased little by little.

Yenika’s expression, which had been out of breath, gradually calmed down and her breathing became more consistent.

[ Yes?! ]

“I’ve been feeling it for a while now, but the amount of magic it takes to deal with you is extraordinary. Originally, the magic consumption was quite high for a low-level spirit, but these days, you’re consuming almost as much magic power as a middle-level spirit.”

[What do you mean… Then…]

“Among the spirits I deal with, you have the best magic efficiency. So I used you in battle every time, and your affinity seems to have increased a lot… Also, your own It feels like the sensitivity to magical power has also increased considerably. Although Yenika would have had no way of knowing.”

During each battle, I repeatedly used the mug to manifest spirit consciousness and left minor physical attacks to the mug… Geary, the mug increased its capabilities to the level of a mid-level spirit.

To begin with, Mug was quite capable for a low-level spirit, so it was not surprising that he had now transformed into a middle-level spirit.

[That can’t be possible…]

“…Mug?”

[The long years of suffering as a low-ranking spirit… Are you saying that I can finally receive the reward… I… I’m becoming a middle-ranking spirit… ] ”

…”

[Among the lower-ranking spirits, I was sent here and there because I had the best ability, and whenever I got the chance, I was entrusted with commanding tasks, and even though I was just a low-ranking spirit, I was blamed and reprimanded for no reason as a representative… Those days… have finally come to an end. Do you mean I am…] Even

if I tell you now about Mug’s unfair feelings, it is almost like a shock.

In fact, the main cause of that stress is the high-ranking fire spirit Tarkan.

[ Master Ed…. Thank you so much… If it weren’t for Master Ed, I wouldn’t have been able to accumulate so much combat experience in such a short period of time… I’m really grateful for Lady Yenika’s grace, but among so many low-ranking spirits, There are limits to gaining direct combat experience… ]

“First of all, I don’t think now is the time to be happy.”

When I shook my head and looked towards Yenika, Mug started making a fuss and flapping his wings.

[That’s right…! My presence alone will put a huge burden on Lady Yenika… so let’s quickly get into this fire candle mug…! ]

“Next time we train for spirit sensitivity, let’s review your phase shift as well.”

[ yes…! Haha… Haha…! Kkakakak…! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kaaaaaaaaah—-! ]

The mug made a sound that I couldn’t tell whether it was cheering or screaming, and then it disappeared after bursting into flames.

To anyone who sees it, it will look like he is burning to death.

“…”

I placed my hand on Yenika’s forehead. Still hot.

As expected, the mug was consuming magical power equivalent to that of a mid-level spirit. Normally, if it were Yenika, even if it was a mid-level spirit, it would appear as if it were nothing, but in its current state, it seems that low-level spirits were the limit.

By the way, once Mug transforms into a mid-level spirit, the position of the lower-level spirit becomes empty.

Obtaining another powerful spirit is certainly a positive thing, but it is also difficult to not have any lower-ranking spirits.

Senior Lieutenant Sub-Spirit. At first glance, it seems that the higher you go, the better, but in fact, the roles of the three spirits themselves are quite different.

In Sylvania’s Failed Sword Master, all characters who deal with spirits used spirits in the same pattern.

Low-level spirits use basic moves, mid-level spirits use main moves, and high-ranking spirits use special moves. Because each person has different magic efficiency and different roles, it is necessary to know how to handle each spirit one by one for each phase.

In other words, there was a need to bring in new lower-level spirits. If I were to be specific, since there are no Earth Spirits or Light and Dark Spirits, those types of Spirits would be convenient.

Well, things like that were something to think about slowly, and I had to take care of Yenika first.

I placed Jenica’s head on my lap and let the water run for a while.

*

“A letter has arrived from the Rosstaylor family. The sender is the head of the family, Crepin Rosstaylor.”

Lortel swallowed dry saliva.

The letter brought by Lortel’s personal secretary was made of high-quality paper with a pretty seal. On the back of the letterhead embroidered with the Ross Taylor family symbol was Crepin Ross Taylor’s handwritten signature.

Lortel, who sat at his desk and received the letter, ordered his secretary to leave and opened the letter by himself.

– ‘Dear Miss Lortel Kecheln, Managing Director of Elte Chamber of Commerce.’

The Duke, who is in charge of the continent’s most powerful family, pays respect. It is the highest honor for a merchant.

I read the letter carefully to see if there was anything about Ed Ross-Taylor, but surprisingly, there was no story about Ed written at all.

Rather, it was exactly what I expected.

– ‘I think it is time to come to a conclusion regarding the purchase of the wise man’s seal.’

‘The Wise Man’s Seal’.

It is currently owned by Elte Trading Company and managed by Lortel, but there was an agreement to sell it to the Rosstaylor family at some point.

Crepin Ross-Taylor had completely delegated the negotiating authority to Tanya Ross-Taylor regarding the negotiations for the purchase of the seal, but Tanya was so caught up in various matters starting from the student council election that she was unable to pay attention to the seal.

It seems that Ed Rosstaylor did not want to hand over the wise man’s seal to the Rosstaylor family.

Anyway, direct sales negotiations will be with Tanya, and Tanya is very friendly to Ed Rothtaylor… There is a high possibility that it will work as he intended.

But what about his relationship with Tanya?

Tanya and Lortel cannot be said to be on good terms with empty words.

From their first impression until now, Tanya and Lortel have maintained an antagonistic relationship.

I don’t know what Tanya would think, but Lortel has a feeling that he created this structure himself.

If you want to swallow Sylvania in one bite, you need to remain a sleeping dragon underwater. Everyone already knows that Lortel is the real loser of the living quarters, but despite this, he wanted to maintain the confrontation with Tanya.

The overwhelmingly strong are always kept in check.

As long as the situation remains sharply opposed to each other, it will be difficult for Principal Obel Forcius to take a side.

“It would be better to argue a little longer… At least until the negotiation of the purchase of the Sage’s seal…”

Lortel lowered his head with a grin.

And I read the last sentence of the letter in an instant.

– ‘Incidentally, the construction proposal submitted to the imperial family last time was rejected.’

“…?”

– ‘The northern forest of Aken Island may be used for the expansion of Sylvania Academy in the future, so the imperial family wants to leave it alone. Her Majesty Cloel did not give a very positive answer either. To begin with, the residential area in the southern part of Aken Island serves as a commercial district, so I cannot understand the intention to expand the commercial building into the northern forest.’

– ‘To begin with, it feels unnatural to build the upper base so far away from the Maxes Bridge in the south. Permission is difficult if the intention is not clearly stated.’

Lortel was planning to build an upper base near the northern forest to manage the inventory of goods coming into Aken Island.

The plan was to create an area for Elte Company centered around Ed’s camp. Anyway, recently I have been feeling the need to further expand the Sylvania branch of the Elte Company.

By building a large merchant base separate from the living quarters, Sylvania and Elte Merchant Association will gradually merge into one body. If a certain line is crossed, it will reach a point where even if the academics try to separate Elte Trading Company, they will be unable to separate it.

They eat up this entire academy until they graduate.

I thought it might be the first practical step in that plan.

– Kung

Lortel buried his head on the desk.

–

When the door squeaked and an employee of Elte Company came in, he was shocked to see Lortel with a pale complexion.

“Assistant Manager Hoeju… what’s going on…?”

“No. It’s just that… my business expansion plans have been disrupted… so I guess I’ll have to take a different approach.”

“I have a report…”

“Put it down there and uh… could you please contact the Ofilis Hall? If possible, the head maid.”

When the trading staff looked at him with a puzzled expression, Lortel calmly got to the point.

“I’m planning to leave Ofilis Hall. If you ask me why I’m leaving… um… what should I say… please tell me that you wanted to live in a more free-spirited environment.”

“…”

“Oh, that’s right. And please also include a proposal.”

*

“They say they want to live in a more free-spirited environment.”

In short, aren’t you going to camp?

Jean Belle Maia, the maid at Ofilis Hall, felt like her head was pounding again.

Still, I’ve been a bit busy these past few days.

While handling the duties of the maid, I visited the camp whenever I had time and helped take care of Yenika’s illness.

Yenica’s condition seemed to be getting better, so she seemed to have more time to spare, but this time, Lortel was in trouble.

“Lady Lortel… Her lifestyle habits aren’t that fast, so she always needs someone to wait on her… I wonder if there’s any need for her to go through the trouble of going to Ofilis Hall.”

“I think so too…”

the senior maid answered coolly.

Belle Maia was checking the cleaning status of the maids at the Ofilis Building before starting her afternoon routine.

One of the most important duties of the Ofilis Hall maid is to keep the internal facilities and private rooms completely and neatly cleaned while the students are attending classes in the teaching building.

In the afternoon, students whose classes ended early would return, so I had to finish cleaning quickly.

For Belle Maia, who worked as a senior maid for quite a long time, it was quite a difficult time.

When you go to inspect in person, most rooms are cleaned well, but if you go there often, you can see quite a few rooms that have been done in a really ridiculous way.

There are even rooms where stains remain on the sheets, dust comes out when the curtains are brushed, and even the foot of one of the chairs is broken and left unnoticed.

The maids at Ofilis Hall must always do their work perfectly. Therefore, most maids do not make this mistake, but sometimes new maids do make this mistake.

All it takes is one or two people’s mistakes. However, when managing such a large dormitory and checking the cleaning status every time, similar mistakes are discovered every time.

Is this what athletes who run out of frustration feel like?

That’s not difficult at all. When washing sheets, inspect them properly, check every nook and cranny for dust, and check how well the furniture is maintained. Honestly, it takes less than 5 minutes.

They are busy maids who don’t even notice. Bel Maia is someone who has been working in the field for a long time, so she understands the situation. Even so, I feel like I need to check these basic things properly.

However, if you personally wash the mop, wash the sheets, and shake off the dust, all the maids around you will turn upside down.

It’s not a very pleasant feeling to make people around you feel embarrassed, so I’ve been working only as a manager for a long time… but now I’m starting to feel itchy.

Especially this time, with Jenica taking care of her illness, I feel like something has become clear.

I personally packed a clean cloth and some simple food, went to the cabin, did various simple cleanings, and listened to the sick take care of the sick. As I listened, I felt like something cool was being pushed into my chest.

Without thinking about anything complicated, I am so close to what I am best at, and yet I am doing such headache-inducing management work all day long, and I am sick of it.

“Oh, that’s right… Master Maid.”

“yes?”

“There is also another message from that Lady Lortel. I am… cautious about telling

you…” “Careful… what else can I say…”

The senior maid who was inspecting the paper with her was neatly folded in her arms. I took out a letter and handed it to Belmaia.

“I’ll find an agent for you, so are you willing to change jobs?”

“Yes?”

“I couldn’t believe my ears, but… they say it’s three flan gold coins per day.”

20 flan gold coins is enough to buy an entire fairly large carriage.

3 flen gold coins a day… This is an amount that only a high-ranking knight belonging to the imperial family can earn. It was a treatment almost equivalent to that of a knight commander.

Of course, Belle Maia is a top-notch maid and has a lot of experience, so it has been a long time since her weight class has grown considerably. Not only is she excellent as a maid, but she is also a talent who deserves high praise, whether as a personal assistant or as a person herself.

However, even taking that into account, this level of treatment is so unprecedented that it is almost absurd.

“They’re asking you to become Miss Lortel’s personal maid… and they’re asking you to manage the newly built villa.”

“…….”

“You said you don’t need to answer right away… uh… are you… quitting…?”

Belle Maia’s hands began to tremble as she accepted the documents.

All kinds of thoughts start to run through my head. Then, as if she had finally found her composure, Belle smiled and smiled.

“…But that’s right, I’ve worked at the Ofilis building for several years. I’ve always worked as a maid here since I was almost an adult…”

Anyway, there was a time when I worked at the Ofilis building.

The experience and recognition gained there cannot be converted into monetary value.

However… a short phrase written in a corner of the document continues to tickle her eyes.

“….”

3 first-class flan gold coins.

It’s not a monthly wage or a weekly wage…

It’s a daily wage…. 3 gold coins…!!

She closed her eyes with a relaxed expression, but her pupils were already trembling endlessly.
