The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Sage’s Seal Battle (3)

– [Status Abnormalities: Exhaustion]

High fever due to overwork, indigestion, chronic fatigue, migraine, periodic coma, shortness of breath, decreased vision, magical power maladaptation, enters a state of muscle relaxation.

Get plenty of rest to get out of this crazy state!

–

I know very well that there are limits to human physical strength.

It’s good to train hard until the day you graduate by working hard to survive, but I also know that in the end, it’s meaningless if you can’t take care of your health.

So, I constantly checked my physical condition, tried to live as regularly as possible, and tried to consume a variety of nutrients. However, the fact that the absolute amount of labor was large was unavoidable.

They say that the symptoms of overwork vary greatly from person to person, but I had no idea that fatigue would rush in like a tide so quickly. He seemed to have fainted before he could even try to come to his senses, so he couldn’t even resist.

In our lives, we all experience suffering from a fever so high that it is difficult to withstand it.

If you lie down and groan, it’s hard to breathe even if you’re not doing anything.

No matter how hard I try to control my dazed mind, I end up being caught up in the feeling of floating in outer space again.

Even if you come to your senses and lose them, you will come back to your senses again.

When my vision returns for a moment and I look at the scenery with blurred eyes, I feel as if Yenika or Lortel, with their serious faces, are talking to each other.

Even then, when I lose consciousness again and fall into a dreamy world, old memories come to mind.

I remember the old days when I was playing Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint, Act 2, Chapter 10, the battle for the Wise Man’s Seal and the Glast subjugation battle.

The final act of Act 2, which Tailley was caught up in, clearly begins with Professor Glast kidnapping Tailly’s companion Ayla.

The final chapter of the story that I watched blankly on the screen is ruminated in my vague mind.

A rare scholar who was gifted with more academic talent than anyone else in history and has achieved dozens of magical advancements that no one else could easily achieve. The name is Great Sage Sylvania.

I clearly remember the story of Glast, who attempted to revive Sylvania by researching the power of Aspect magic to twist the world’s providence.

It was the narrative of a madman who tried to open the era of progress once again by injecting the spirit of Sylvania into the body of Ayla, who was born with the talent of an academic.

A person who ultimately fails to achieve his dream and falls to his death from the top of the magic tower he created.

What on earth is this damn academic and what is the progress of the times? Why did he make such a ridiculous choice, throwing away everything, including research ethics and his own career? Even among players at the time, there were many who had question marks about Glast’s actions.

Actually, if it could be so easily understood, it wouldn’t have been possible to call it a madman’s narrative.

Above all, his last words before falling from the top of the magic tower, which had all his plans thwarted, were a bit unexpected.

The last line uttered before his death by a man who dreamed only of academic progress and the advancement of the times and dedicated his life solely to discovering talented people.

At the top of the magic tower realized with Aspect magic, he discussed the world with his arms spread out, and the last words he revealed only when he was about to die were… something…

“Zzzz………”

Eyelids It went up with a swish. As if it was telling me that it was time to wake up, regardless of my will.

My whole body feels heavy, especially my lower abdomen. I wondered what this lump of meat covering my lower abdomen was, and when I raised my upper body with difficulty, I saw a girl lying on her stomach with a witch’s hat as big as my head.

“….”

“Uhm…. too salty… salt… just a little…”

How can this kid even talk in his sleep like this???

I tried to lift the whole thing like I normally do and put my arms around it, thinking about throwing it away, but for some reason, Lucy couldn’t lift it.

Lucy is as light as she looks. It makes you wonder if this is a person… If you lift it up, you can hear it shaking.

Lucy seems to be in the same condition as usual, so maybe my physical condition is the reason why I can’t lift her.

Completely weakened. There was a lot of work to do, but my body was pushed to its limits. I took a deep breath and lay down again.

The scenery is familiar. Since this is my cabin and this blanket is new… it must be a fixture of Elte Company. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I can roughly guess it.

It was not difficult to picture Yenica and Lortel making a fuss.

“Hmm…”

Lucy opened her dazed eyes as if reacting to my movement.

Then, after rubbing his puffy eyes a few times, he sat down on my lower stomach, raised his upper body, and made eye contact with me.

Then, he stared into space with a blank face, and then the words he finally uttered…

“…I’m hungry.”

“Do you really do anything other than eat and sleep?”

“Congratulations. You’ve come to your senses.”

Then, he waved his hand in the air to roll up his extra sleeve, placed his index finger around my solar plexus, and pressed it.

And then he continued speaking slowly, in a voice as low as a whisper.

“My magical power was very distorted. I trained my magical power excessively, learned spirit magic, and repeated this for several months without resting my body, which is why I ended up like this.”

“…”

“When you sleep, the flow of magic power goes out little by little, and it takes advantage of that gap to re-establish itself so that you can run your body efficiently again. Didn’t you learn that in magic class? You practice magic power to the limit until right before you go to bed. Also, sleep seems to last for just a moment, so this is what happens.”

“You always sleep in class, but you secretly know everything about the class.”

“I just don’t listen to it because I know everything about it.”

A flow of magical power began to swirl around Lucy’s fingers pressing on my solar plexus.

Lucy just sat there with a blank expression on her face as if it was no big deal, but soon her collar and hat brim began to flutter.

“I was holding it down to prevent the flow of magical power from becoming more distorted. It seems to be loosening up a bit now.”

“Did you keep doing this while I was sleeping?”

“It’s not that difficult, but I was so bored that I fell asleep several times.”

I feel the refreshing feeling spreading through my body again, centered around Lucy’s fingers. While I was unconscious, I occasionally felt as if my body’s energy had returned, and it seems that it was thanks to Lucy.

“You noticed.”

“sense?”

“Hmm… there are people who keep paying attention when they’re around you. It’s annoying. They couldn’t say anything because it was necessary.”

Once again, a comfortable feeling seeped into my body, making me feel more at ease. As I take a slow deep breath, I feel like some strength is coming back to my body.

“There is no answer to the direct decline in physical strength other than rest, but the magic part may have been somewhat resolved.”

“hey.”

When I call out to Lucy, she looks down at me with an expression on her face that doesn’t change at all.

The light gray eyes seemed like a motionless picture of the sky, and that dull feeling actually made me feel more at ease.

“…I am grateful.”

“Don’t get sick. It’s hard when you get sick. Some people die from being sick.”

If you know Lucy Mayril’s past history, you won’t be able to easily ignore that line.

Grand Wizard Glokt, who gave her the blessing of the stars.

A rainy night.

Lucy watched right next to Glokt, who was like a grandfather to her, lying in bed and dying.

I’m not sure how long I was in a coma, but it was definitely not a short period of time.

Considering the fact that she was suppressing my twisted magic power during that time… having someone around her sick must have been an unpleasant experience for her that she couldn’t easily overcome.

Even if he’s a beef jerky thief, breaks into homes whenever he gets the chance, and is like a stray cat that does as he pleases… and even if he doesn’t change his facial expression at all, so it’s impossible to tell his true intentions… you have no choice but to gauge his true feelings.

As a result, I had no choice but to say thank you.

– Squeak.

“Oh, senior. You have come to your senses. I wasn’t sure if I could use the cabin stove, so I turned on the fire outside…”

At that time, the cabin door opened and an unexpected human came in.

Siggs Eiffelstein, who came in with a lively greeting and brushed his long messy hair down to his neck, froze for a moment.

Lucy, who was sitting on my lower abdomen and pressing my solar plexus, turned her head and looked at Ziggs.

He stayed still without any change in expression on his blank face, then took his hat and disappeared in an instant. Only the afterimage of the wind that remained for a moment proved that the lazy genius was here just moments ago.

“…”

Ziggs brushed up his bangs once, then came in with an expression of disbelief and sat down on the wooden chair with his legs spread wide.

“Sir, how many people have you had?… Ha, well, it wouldn’t be unusual for a strong male to have multiple females.”

“…”

“Is this… the openness of civilization… I may have been looking at civilization from a too stereotypical perspective…”

After leaving it like that, Ziggs started touching several women. Elka, who is going, is foaming at the mouth.

I had to clear up the misunderstanding first.

*

“Senior Yenika was already sick at the beginning of the semester, and it was dangerous to miss more classes, so I sent her to the bachelor’s department for now. Lortel kept putting off the upper class work and couldn’t put it off any longer, so he went to the living room.”

“Yes. But how did you end up taking care of me in the cabin?”

“Lortel came to me and asked me to do it. But I’m a bit insensitive to delicate things like nursing the sick. Women are usually more dexterous and delicate than men, right? So, why don’t you ask a woman like Elka, Annis, or Clara? “I tried it, but I sang a song saying I would never risk my life… so this is what happened.”

Ziggs scooped out the roughly boiled soup from the pot and handed it to me.

Still, I had enough strength to lift the bowl and spoon, so I took a bite. It wasn’t very tasty.

It felt like it was made with all kinds of ingredients thrown together with crude skills.

“To begin with, you are living your life as a bachelor in your own way. There are not many people who know you, and among them, you were looking for someone who could help you, so you came to me.”

“Okay. It must have been annoying, but I’m thankful.”

“Is there anything special? All I did was rest in my room and train here at the camp. Senior, please take care of yourself. At first, when I saw Senior Yenika’s expression, I thought you were here for some kind of funeral.”

Ziggs sighed and tapped the light with the poker.

“Well, it’s not like you have a chronic illness or anything, you’re just overexerting yourself, so there’s no need to make a fuss. Just rest for a few days and you’ll get better. You won’t be feeling well for a while, so just take this opportunity to take a break from class.”

“Yeah. I’ve been a bit lax in taking care of my body, too. I feel bad because I feel like I’m worrying the people around me for no reason.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about it since you do it because you enjoy it. You can just focus on recovering your health.”

To be honest, it was a tasteless soup, but as Ziggs said, I had to force myself to keep moving the spoon because I needed to get a little more nutrients into my body.

In the meantime, it would be a good idea to check the things that need to be checked.

“Now that you think about it… I heard that students in the Pension Department had an accident while mass-producing Mandragora without the academy’s knowledge.”

“Ah, Elvira, that troublemaker… In the end, Tailley and Clevius resolved the issue before it escalated. The matter didn’t spill over to the bachelor’s department.”

Act 2, Chapter 5, ‘Exploring the Pension Department’s Society’, appears to have been completed well.

“I also heard a rumor that monsters disposed of by the Telos Church have sneaked into the underground waterway of the school.”

“Me and Tailly took care of that. Ayla accidentally dropped the pendant into the underground waterway, so she went in to retrieve it and accidentally encountered a group of monsters and dealt with them. But was there such a rumor?”

Act 2, Chapter 7, the ‘Devil in the Underground’ episode, seems to have passed without any problems. It

can be inferred that these incidents were resolved due to rumors heard at the time or changes in external circumstances. There was, but… Still, I was relieved to hear it directly from the person involved.

Then, I wondered if the big incident was just a battle for the wise man’s seal.

As my thoughts reached this point, I suddenly realized that I had not yet confirmed the fact that I should have confirmed first. “So, I was in a coma for about a few days?”

I thought it was about a day or two and asked the question lightly, but Ziggs answered so lightly that I wondered if this was okay. “It

‘s

been 10 days today. Everyone will be upset when they see you awake.”

“What?”

“Still, we won’t be able to see your face during today. Senior Yenika should be at the academy at this time, and Lortel… left with difficulty, saying he had an important negotiation to prepare for tomorrow. ”

Negotiations for the purchase of the wise man’s seal.

That was tomorrow.

I swallowed my breath for a moment. I

haven’t even fully grasped the situation yet.

There is no way to know how the game was going while I was in a coma.

“Hey, Ziggs. “Can you tell Lortel?”

“Yes? “Is it urgent?”

“Okay…

This may sound a bit strange…” If there was enough time, I would consider all of this and try to find the most stable method, but if the situation is right now, I have no choice but to use whatever methods are available. .

“Well… there is something I… want to have. If I have just that one thing… I think I can grant any request… really anything…”

“…Suddenly?”

*

Negotiation group convened.

Luncheon.

Check the status of the wise man’s seal.

Check the purchase method.

Each person . After writing down the asking price on parchment and collecting it, the person who bid the highest price purchased it.

The process of transferring the ‘responsible person’ was carried out.

Afterwards, it was disbanded.

Negotiation for the purchase of the wise man’s seal was reported on the order of progress. After reading all the documents, Princess Fenia’s The paper in his hand burned and disappeared.

In any case, the fact that the wise man’s seal was being sold would not be made public just yet.

“…”

Princess Fenia requested the bachelor to allow her to participate in the negotiations as an observer.

Imperial Family There was no need for the princess to attend the purchase negotiations between groups that were completely unrelated to the royal family, but since it was a request from the royal family, the bachelor listened. If a justification was made, it could be made. In

any case, a credible witness should be present in negotiations where this amount of money is exchanged. In many cases, it was accompanied by a royal family, so public trust was as heavy as the weight of lineage.

The number of people who participated in the negotiations for the purchase of the wise man’s seal was not large. There were not many groups that could pay that much money in the first place.

In the end, there was no place to strike out . After all of them were eliminated, the only ones left were the Elte Company and the Rosstaylor family.

I imagined fierce purchase negotiations between the two, but surprisingly, it seemed like the showdown would come in an instant. The

young principal, Obel Forcius, came up with a very smart plan. He set the price like an auction. It was said that it would be sold as requested.

However, the appropriate purchase price was not disclosed. If

the two bidders, Elte Trading Company and Ross Taylor Family, write their bids on paper and submit them, they will sell to the one who bids the higher price.

“This… is a bid towards Crepin. There is a high possibility that it will happen.”

That was the reason why Princess Fenia is currently on edge.

Basically, Elte Company is engaging in these negotiations with the concept of purchasing ‘products’ in order to make greater profits.

However, the Rosstaylor family It seems like he wants to obtain the wise man’s seal because he has a bigger purpose. If the goal is not to make a profit, there is a possibility that he will ask for such a large amount that you might wonder if it is okay to do so.

Even if they lose this purchase negotiation, they are prepared to proceed with one more negotiation with Elte Trading Company, the owner of Bongseo.

Of course, you can’t just spend a large amount without knowing what the appropriate price is, so the war of nerves between you will be intense.

“I can’t believe you announced this method a day ago. The Elte Company and the Rosstaylor family must be in headaches by now.”

“Of course, Claire. If you let me know about this in advance, they can meet among themselves and negotiate in advance how much they will charge.”

If a school wants to make a profit, it must feel like the company and the family are fighting an ‘unknown enemy.’

The pressure of not knowing how much the other person will spend. It’s hard to tell how high you have to raise your call before you can safely obtain the seal.

“Principal Obel really used his brain. I don’t want the negotiations to be dragged out for no reason and strange rumors spread, so it would be better in many ways to end the bidding quickly like this. There is less chance of losing money. However… no matter how much I think about it, this If the way things go, Crepin will get a seal.”

It seems that the Elte Chamber of Commerce will not attach more value to the wise man’s seal than necessary.

“As expected, I’m anxious…”

What on earth is Crepin going to do after obtaining the wise man’s seal?

As expected, the lack of information about crepins is very unsettling. Even if we only know what intentions the unidentified head of the family is acting on, it seems like the situation will become clearer.

Unfortunately, Ed, who was supposed to be the clue, was also in a coma for nearly ten days, so right now I felt like I was in a vague fog.

If we can’t ask Ed directly, should we at least ask people around him? I’ve had that thought too.

Anyone who was close to Ed may have heard at least in passing what Ed was going through or his background.

However, according to rumors, Ed was always quiet and focused only on classes and practical training, even during his undergraduate studies, so his personal relationships were not very wide. It is said that he was always busy and appeared to be hectic trying to live each day to the fullest.

Princess Fenia still sat in the corner of the bachelor’s bench and sighed.

“When I asked around the school, I heard that the only person who could be said to be close to Ed Rosstaylor was Yenica Palover, the second-year head spiritist.”

Claire, who was standing quietly next to me, spoke a mantra.

“I could try calling her, but I’m not sure I’d get any meaningful information.”

“No, there’s no need to do that. I’ve already met you once while walking around the bachelor’s hall.”

In Sylvania, if you don’t know the chief spiritist Yenica Palover, you are a spy.

He was involved once during the Glaskan incident, but after that, Princess Fenia helped him once during the disciplinary committee.

The girl with light pink hair who sent a heartfelt letter of gratitude and came to the royal residence to express her gratitude left a deep impression.

Looking at that girl who was loved by everyone and gave love to everyone… on the one hand, I thought I was jealous.

It seems like flowers are blooming everywhere she walks. Everyone smiles brightly when talking to her.

Everyone lived happily.

She was like the main character of a fairy tale that ends with that comment.

“About a week ago, in our joint elemental science class, I asked about Ed Rosstaylor.”

However, after Ed passed away.

Yenica, whom I met at the bachelor’s degree, looked at Fenia with cold eyes.

I’m not sure what kind of change of heart there was.

Yenika was a bright and lively person as usual, but she did not show a friendly attitude towards Princess Fenia. I tried not to show it outwardly, but it was clearly visible to Princess Fenia.

What could be the cause… was obvious in the end. It must have been the same as Lortel.

Even that innocent girl who loved everyone on the bachelor’s side was not on Princess Fenia’s side anyway.

Princess Fenia took a deep breath at that fact.

The autumn sky was high and clear.

“anything?”

It was a hectic time. He wanted to go to the cabin to check on Ed’s condition at least once, but the work piled up at the store was weighing on Lortel’s shoulders.

Lortel, who had tied his hair to one side and sighed deeply, offered a cup of tea to an unexpected visitor.

“Anything, I didn’t know that senior Ed would say such dangerous things.”

“That’s what I said, Lortel. You must know your true nature.”

Ziggs, who was sitting on the living room sofa and sipping tea, sighed deeply.

Lortel, who was already weighed down by heavy work, straightened his shoulders and smiled that charming smile.

“Anything. You said you would do anything for a merchant… You made an unbecoming mistake, Senior Ed.”

In the calmly dark drawing room, Lortel lowered the corner of his mouth that was about to rise in a sinister way.

I wonder what he’s imagining… Even though he tried to stay still, the mischievous laughter flowing out of him felt quite frightening to Ziggs, who was watching. Just a moment ago, the face that was worried about Ed, who had just woken up from the hospital bed, was clearly visible. .

‘I’m so glad Elka is pure.’

The civilized world was both incomprehensible and scary.

The time for negotiation has come.

Unfortunately, no one realized at this point that the person holding all the keys was a boy lying in the cabin.
