The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

7 days before school starts (2)

The Ross Taylor family, which I worked for, is a group of villains that looks like a painting.

Intoxicated by the noble name of the family, they instill vanity and a sense of choice among their descendants from generation to generation.

The spirit of our ancestors, who knew honor and how to give, is no longer there, and only the sense of privilege remains like a ghost, making them a group of people who sit in important positions in the empire and show off.

In fact, the Ross Taylor family has a big secret.

The head of the family, Krapin Rosstaylor, is a person who researches the magic of eternal life under a contract with Mebula, an evil god from the mythical era. In the process, all kinds of inhumane experiments were conducted and countless lives were sacrificed for research.

Approximately two years later, that grand plan was discovered by Tailly, the main character of ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’, and he was subjugated after struggling until the very end.

Crepin Ross Taylor, head of the Ross Taylor family. It was the final boss of Act 4 of ‘The Failed Sword Saint of Sylvania.’

After that, there is no need to ask what happens to the Ross Taylor family. Aren’t all the members of the Ross Taylor family portrayed as arrogant and arrogant?

In order to bring about exhilaration in the player, it falls down to a truly miserable level. All of those who actively sympathized with Crepin Rosstaylor’s plan were executed, and those who were even slightly involved were at least imprisoned or punished.

In that respect, there is a need to reconsider the current situation. I may be hungry, cold, and at a loss for a living right now… but I guess I’ve cut off all contact with the Ross Taylor family in advance.

To summarize in one line, it is as follows.

Rather good.

“You’re thanking me? That’s hard to believe.”

I jumped up from my seat. In fact, since he had been living in the wild for three days, his appearance was not surprising. That’s probably why the princess is so freaked out.

Just a few days ago, I was pretending to be a nobleman and swaggering around in front of others. Seeing him like this is refreshing, but I also feel pity for him.

I wanted to delve into that part, but the Princess Fenia I know does not carelessly involve her personal feelings when making public decisions. Appealing to emotions only had the opposite effect.

What is the best outcome?

Whether I attend this school or not, Princess Fenia catches my attention.

Not only Princess Fenia but all the other students at Sylvania Academy were paying attention. If I make a fuss and it becomes public knowledge that Ed Ross-Taylor has not been expelled, only I will lose.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the academic department expelled me at any time. I am standing on the borderline. It was better to stay out of the public eye until I was in a position where the academics were wondering if they could expel me.

So there was nothing good about being hated by Princess Fenia.

“Princess Fenia will decide my treatment. I will just follow her decision.”

He spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.

Trying to hold on to your ankles and beg because you are in a disappointing position will only backfire. The more cornered and desperate a person seems, the easier it is to look down on them and make them look like a ragtag group.

Fenia, famous as the ‘Princess of Mercy’, is the person with the most special ‘eyes’ among the characters in Sylvania’s Failed Sword Mastery.

That is the eye that penetrates into the human vessel and its depth.

She has been reigning as a princess since she was young, and has grown up seeing through the flattery, flattery, and wicked sophistry of countless people.

Hidden behind his seemingly infinitely benevolent character are the eyes of a monarch who weighs human nature at a glance.

I turned my head and looked toward the crackling campfire. The burned firewood was crumbling and reaching the end of its life.

I could have used ignition magic to make it bloom again, but since my body had not yet been properly trained in magic, I didn’t want to use magic for no reason.

I passed by Princess Fenia and sat down by the fire. Then, he stirred the fire with a poker and gathered the firewood that had fallen from the fire into the center.

“You’ve been here all three days?”

“It’s worth living because I’m trying to live my life.”

The policy was clearly set.

The surest way to not get attention is to not give attention.

I don’t care what you do to me. Well, if I keep this attitude, they’ll start to pay attention to me too.

The fact that the opponent was the third princess who ruled the castle was a huge source of anxiety, but compared to kneeling down and crying and begging, it was a strategy that had a chance of success.

Don’t mind me.

However, this alone is not enough by 2%.

Anyway, they plan to report me to the academic department and have me expelled. We have to compromise on that part.

“I heard that for royals, every step they take is noble, so even if they go for a short walk, dozens of their subjects stick by them, and even on a half-day outing, a heavily armed bodyguard accompanies them.”

Bribery and flattery. It is necessary.

But there is a problem.

You don’t have anything to bribe, and if you try to flatter, there is a high possibility that you will look cheap and be looked down on in an instant. So, we have no choice but to come up with a compromise.

“Such a noble Princess Fenia is traveling alone to the dangerous northern forest of Aken Island at this hour when the sun is setting. There must be a reason why she did so.”

Princess Fenia is the one who has her subjects clinging to her and waiting on her even when she walks around the campus.

Of course, even in the current situation, there will be no shortage of escorts. But he’s probably staring at me from an unseen place with his hand on his weapon. It is obvious that if you do something foolish, you will be punished immediately.

“So? If you try to harm me with a grudge just because you don’t have a bodyguard, you will regret it greatly.”

So I guess I can boldly say something like that.

I grinned.

“Rumors are already spreading among us second-year students that Professor Glast’s placement tests are vicious. He makes students suffer in a novel way every year. It seems the princess is also conducting the placement tests.”

Without even looking at the princess, I calmly continued talking while digging around the bonfire with a poker.

“If you go to the lake in the southeastern part of the forest, there is a small rocky island in the middle of it. It is barely the size of a pine tree. That tree is ‘Merilda’s guardian tree.’ If you look into the knot hole of that tree, you will see a good harvest. .”

“I beg your pardon?”

“You’re in a position to search the entire forest anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stop by at least once.”

It felt like Princess Fenia was glaring at my back with her eyes wide open. The gaze was very stinging, but I did my best to pretend not to care.

“What are you thinking? Are you still bent on revenge?”

“Like I said, I just want to continue attending Sylvania.”

A crackling sound came up along with sparks. I finally brought the fire back to life.

“So, this could be… a bribe from me to the princess, so to speak.”

Finally, he threw the poker he was holding into the fire.

“If you don’t like it… I have no choice if you don’t accept it.”

Princess Fenia glared at me for a long time, then scolded me for not being funny and left.

Anyway, the princess’s actions are out of my hands.

– ‘Let go of this! Don’t you know who I am?! This is Ed Ross Taylor, the second son of the Ross Taylor family! Get your dirty hands off you pigs! Where are you touching your body?’

– ‘Taylor? Ha… the low-class, failing student is always just talking.’

– ‘yes? Princess Hua? Fenia, Princess of Mercy? ‘I’m sorry I didn’t know anything!’

– ‘The princess! If you defend something like Taily, you will only bring a blemish on his noble and lofty name. Please condemn him!’

– ‘This… something is wrong with this! It’s a trap! It’s a trap! This is a scheme that that bastard Taily planned out of jealousy of me! Dirty bastard! ‘You dirty bastard!’

‘Are they the same person?’

Princess Fenia walked through the forest and recalled the scene she saw during the entrance exam.

The image of the vain nobleman who tried to kick out the failing student Tailly by manipulating his exam papers came to mind.

She was such an ugly and pathetic person that there was no need to use her unique ‘eyes of insight’. Anyone who looked at him could see that he was an arrogant and unsightly man.

He is a person who is stubborn in front of power and becomes cruel in front of the weak. When he first hid his identity, he was rude even to Princess Fenia herself.

I couldn’t leave someone like that behind in Sylvania. So Princess Fenia made the move herself.

Although Princess Fenia was a student, her opinions could not be ignored even at the university. Such was the position of royalty.

Three days have already passed since I exposed his evil deeds and excommunicated him from the family.

‘Your speaking style has become very calm.’

In fact, three days may be enough time to reflect on yourself and change yourself. Actually, I didn’t have time to worry about that.

The issue we need to focus on right now is the placement test.

A magic bead search test conducted by Professor Glast, a famous evil professor at the Ministry of Magic.

It was a test to find magic beads scattered throughout the northern forest and return to the professor building. The exam, which started after lunchtime, continued even as the sun was almost setting.

Most of the 310 new students at the Ministry of Magic… about 290 students had already found the magic beads and returned to the teaching building.

In the first place, more than half of the students found the beads and returned within an hour of the test starting.

There were only a few students left in the northern forest until the sun set.

In fact, Princess Fenia found the magic orb long ago. As long as a basic level of magic detection was possible, it was possible to find as many things as possible.

There were plenty of magic beads found in various places, such as between leaves or under a small wooden bench near a mound of dirt.

But something was a little strange.

There are more magic beads than there are students. It seems like it goes beyond many levels and is several times higher.

Even though it was the first test I had to take since entering school, it was too easy. It was too kind to be a test by Professor Glast, who is famous for being a bad professor.

There is clearly some hidden intention. That fact never left my mind.

Most students assumed that it was ‘first come, first served’ and quickly returned to the teaching building.

Even the students who thought that it would not be a first-come-first-served basis still left without any harvest as the sun was setting. He believed in quantity over quality, and it was a sight to see him packing up a bunch of magic beads he had found and leaving.

The moon was already up in the sky.

Nevertheless, Princess Fenia did not return to the teaching building.

I constantly had the feeling that there was some hidden intention behind this test.

As I walked and walked like that, I ended up walking to the lake.

I saw the rocky island that Ed Rosstaylor had mentioned.

A pine tree stands out in the middle of a lake, bathed in moonlight with a mysterious atmosphere. Ed Rosstaylor called it ‘Merilda’s guardian tree.’

“Hmm…”

Princess Fenia rested her chin and seemed to be thinking for a moment, but then gathered magical power at the tips of her feet. ‘Water walking’

was a magic that consumed a lot of magical energy and allowed one to walk on the surface of water for a while. The magic efficiency is very poor and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, so it is not very practical in battle.

However, in this case, there is an advantage to being able to cross the water without getting wet.

Princess Fenia walked slowly to the rocky island and noticed that there was something stuck near the knot of the tree.

Could it be that Ed Rosstaylor, out of spite, had set a trap?

If you plot something like that against the princess of mercy, it won’t end well. Ed Rosstaylor would be well aware of that fact.

Still, there was no harm in being careful. The princess slowly approached the old tree, paying as much attention as possible.

“Magic beads…? But the color is different…”

A golden bead was embedded and shining softly.

Princess Fenia tilted her head.

“It’s a unique design… It’s golden and glowing softly… but other than that, there’s nothing else. ..”

I tried to detect magical power, but the quantum form of magical power was very minimal. It was difficult to even notice that it contained magical power.

“Is it a valuable item?”

I wondered if it would make money if I resold it or something. I’ve tried it, but the value of an item doesn’t mean much in front of the princess.

“Anyway… it does seem like it has some meaning…”

The princess swept up her platinum-blond hair and lowered her posture. Her well-maintained hair. This is because it can be swept on the dirt floor.

The princess squatted down and looked at the bead stuck in the tree and thought about just taking it.

“I can’t do that.”

This bead could not be found because Ed Rosstaylor told her the location. It was possible.

The princess did not discover it through her own efforts. Therefore, her pride did not allow her to take this bead.

Princess Fenia decided to leave the lake.

It is shameful to pass the test through fraudulent means. Because I knew that fact well.
