“..! This is wrong!!”

“Bea.. Calm down a little..”

“I’ll go and tell you! Vera is waiting here!”

“You can’t go.. Stay here..”

After checking her grades, Bea’s eyes widened and she tried to run to the principal’s office, but was somehow stopped.

I’m sorry for not telling you the truth, but if you tell me one by one, I’ll tell you everything.

So we have no choice but to hide everything thoroughly.

“Ahh…! Vera, this is wrong!!”

“It’s okay, I passed the academy.”

You can enter the academy whether you are top or bottom.

I am satisfied with just that.

“No! That’s it, but they say you took advantage of your family position!”

“.. Ah..”

It seems that Bea has been imprinted in her mind as someone who would not do such a thing.

Actually, that’s not the case.

Anyway, how do I get around this?

“It’s okay. Bea knows that’s not true.”

“.. Vera.. Our poor Vera..”

‘Sorry,. I’ll let you know someday… when it’s completely safe…’

My conscience pricked me as I saw Bea hugging me with a pitiful expression.

But since I couldn’t tell you the truth, I just hugged him.

“But… I think men and women can’t share the same dormitory…”

“Oh, that..”

Article 1 of the Academy Dormitory Act.

Men and women cannot share the same dormitory room.

Because the proportion of men among academy students is very small, there are no separate dormitories for men and women.

Therefore, in the early days of the academy, men committed many crimes, and the resulting law was the dormitory law.

Such things suddenly came to mind and when I spoke to Beah, she actually smiled.

“We already solved all that!”

“.. How?”

‘There must be a high price to change the law.’

However, the law was weaker than expected.

“You said it’s not possible for a lover, but it’s possible for a fiancé.”

“Ah. As long as it’s a publicly recognized relationship, it’s okay.”

“That’s right! Compared to a fiancé, a lover is a private relationship rather than a public one.”

Personal relationships are difficult to prove.

Since your and the other person may have different opinions, it is difficult to take someone’s exact side even in a trial.

The law was designed to prevent such things from happening in the first place, but if it is a public relationship, whatever happened can be resolved within them, so it is an exception to the dormitory law.

Of course, only Port 1.

As I patted Bea, who hugged me even more with a happy expression, one person came to mind.

‘Now that I think about it… if this happens…’

-smart.

As I was thinking about someone I hadn’t seen in about 10 years, I heard a knock on the door.

“Are you in Berrador County?”

The person who came was none other than the academy principal.

I tried to get up to see what was going on.

“Shh! Stay still..”

“..um?”

If only Bea hadn’t stopped me next to me.

Bea is holding her arm and pulling her down.

Her eyes… were glaring at the door with eyes no different from those looking at Anne.

“.. Are you jealous of the principal too?”

“Of course.. because she’s a woman..”

“.. Are all women jealous?”

“Of course!”

He looks at me with eyes full of jealousy, as if telling me not to ask any more questions about the obvious.

Regardless of whether I tell him the truth or do something else, I have to deal with this jealousy first.

-Quuk…

First of all, let’s stay still for now…

Although his physical abilities increased while he was unconscious, he is no different from a child compared to Bea.

Compared to her mother, Bea is still a child.

“Uhm.. I guess there isn’t one..”

-Ttogak, ttogak… Ttogak…

Bea didn’t open her mouth because she knew it was a voice telling her to listen, but Bea was fooled.

“After a while.. I guess he went..”

“.. Bea.. I haven’t gone yet..”

“Huh?”

-smart.

“Berador, could you please open the door.”

Bea froze as the same voice as the knock sounded again as if what she said was correct.

I chuckled to myself and got up from Bea’s weakened grasp.

“Okay, Principal.”

I’m sure Bea will take note of this because she got caught.

***

I actually let the principal in, but Bea made me suffocate.

Eyes that look like they’re going to kill the principal.

Normally, he would have been fine, but now he looked at me like he was upset, and the way he looked at me was unusual.

The first person to speak in a tense atmosphere was the principal.

“Hmm. Was it Miss Beatyrus? Is there something you hate about me this much?”

“.. Did you expect my favor when you evaluated Vera’s performance at that level? ”

The principal, who was tilting his head because he didn’t understand what that meant, looked at me and nodded.

He seemed to have noticed that and nodded his head a few times before accepting my words.

“I just gave accurate grading.”

“,, Vera can’t have such a low score.”

“But is that true?”

“Suddenly..”

Bea’s emotions tried to deny it, but her ideals knew it was true.

Because the gap of 9 years is serious.

Regardless of his talent and effort, it is inevitable.

The principal, whether he knew this or not, opened his mouth again.

“That’s why I came to you. Miss Beatyrus”

“…”

“Berrador County. Are you interested in becoming my direct disciple?”

“..! You old man! Ugh!”

“Bea, stay still.”

Bea, whose eyes had rolled back, stopped her from crossing the line and looked at the principal.

Despite the veins on his forehead, he was smiling kindly.

I think it would be better not to talk about age.

Unless you’re saying you look young.

‘Anyway, he’s a direct disciple..’

I’ve never heard it from my father, but if it’s something that I taught my father, it must be my father’s ideal,,

Among these races are elves.

They are the race most similar to humans, and are a race that has acknowledged their arrogance and interacted with humans since recently… about 100 years ago.

Lifespan is similar to that of a human, but the total amount of mana is slightly lower than that of a dragon.

Although my father is a human archmage, there are several elves who are of that level.

The limit for humans is about 40 total mana, and for elves, the average is over 100.

It’s just that my father broke through human limitations.

‘.. Then… I wonder to what extent.’

The amount of mana exceeds the average of elves from the start.

It certainly seems like a talent that would make the gods curious.

“.. Please give me some time to think.”

“… This is my first time… I never thought I wouldn’t choose right away…”

“Haha…”

The principal’s offer is tempting, but we need to check his future plans.

You can only know by checking whether the principal’s suggestion will be beneficial to the plan.

‘Well… I’ll accept it anyway.’

Just knowing that there is someone stronger than me is enough reason to accept the offer.

“Then, I will go before Miss Beatyrus gets even more angry.”

“Yes. Please go in.”

In fact, it is difficult to endure like this.

The left arm holding Bea’s body began to tremble, and the right hand covering her mouth… was becoming wet.

-Kkeee..

After the door opened and the principal came out, my arms relaxed.

“That old man! How dare you look after someone else’s man!”

“…”

“Ugh! Me… me! Yikes!”

Despite her training with knights, Bea knows very little about swearing.

It also means that our family’s knights don’t use profanity that much.

This means that there is no one who has gone so far as to curse at her, a duke.

That’s probably why you can’t even swear and you’re so frustrated.

The good news is that you can feel it loosening up little by little when you hug and pet it.

I petted it quietly for a while to relieve its irritation.

***

In the principal’s office inside the academy, not the dormitory, the yellow-haired principal Lin and another woman were sitting inside.

A red-haired woman who looked like she had just entered the academy had her eyes closed.

Looking at her, the principal handed her a cup of tea.

“Try drinking it. This is mint tea, a specialty of the Elven Kingdom.”

“… Add chocolate..”

Opening her red eyes that rivaled her own hair, she looked at the principal and spoke.

The principal frowned slightly as he looked at her, whose eyes were so sharp that others would have thought she was glaring.

“.. Just eat it. I don’t like adding chocolate to mint tea.”

“Just put it in.”

“Ugh..”

-Smurf.

She said something if I just added it, so I mixed it up myself.

-Slurp.

“I’ll just eat some..”

“.. Then it won’t be sweet.”

“By the way, please use polite language. This is inside the academy.”

“Troublesome..”

A red-eyed woman who is both sharp and tired.

If the headmaster of the academy can do the work that these maids can do, you can guess what the other person’s status is.

The principal was also a princess in the Elven Kingdom, but here she is just a citizen of the empire.

“Then is this how you want to be treated?”

“…”

“What do you want? Agnes von Ebsoruta.”

She is none other than the third princess of the Evsoluta Empire.

It was Agnes von Ebsoruta.
