The first day at the academy was focused on relaxation. Even though my body was basically strong, I needed to relieve the fatigue that had accumulated so far.

You can only play well if you are in good condition. I relieved my fatigue by rolling around on a bed that was of better quality than that of an inn or taking a leisurely stroll around the inn.

The meals provided by the academy were also tastier than I expected, making me feel like I was at a resort.

The day passed like that.

On the second day, I went outside the academy and walked the streets of the capital.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the largest city on the continent, so there are limits to exploring it just by walking.

Even if you came solely for sightseeing purposes and could freely travel around by horse-drawn carriage, ten days was not enough to fully experience the capital.

It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have any regrets, but I felt excited just by walking down the busy street, which had a very different feel from Quien. Unfamiliar and different things were everywhere.

“I wish I had come with Karen.”

Every time I see a restaurant or clothing store that sells unique food, I think of Karen.

Even when she came to the academy, she seemed busy as if she had something to do. It was fortunate that we stayed in the same building, but we didn’t actually have much time to spend together.

They said I would only have free time today at most in the evening, so I had to kill time alone until then.

“Still, they say they’ll have a day off tomorrow, so I have to go on a date with Karen in the morning.”

I was worried that I wouldn’t have to work every single day, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.

“I have to see the capital and the academy, so I’m busy.”

I don’t know when I’ll be able to come again after this moment, so I’ll do my best to make the most of it. If possible, I should pull out the mulberries.

I wandered the streets until evening, looking for a good place to go with Karen.

“Haam, sleep well. See you tomorrow.”

“Karen, sleep well too. Just dreaming.”

After chatting with Karen who came back from work, we parted ways at night.

I wanted to stay up late, but I had to go on a date starting tomorrow morning, so I decided to go to bed early.

“It would be nice to share the same room with Karen.”

Unfortunately, the rooms were assigned to men for men and women for women. I shared a room with a fellow male adventurer, but Karen shared a room with her senior librarian.

A room with a superior. It was already a very burdensome situation, but Karen did not have a very friendly personality.

I was worried about whether I would be able to get along well alone in the same space as my boss.

If you hear nagging about work even when you are sleeping… .

“… Karen, stay strong.”

After a moment of cheering and silence, I was about to go back to my room when I heard someone calling me from behind.

“Ethan oppa.”

Even without turning around, I could tell who the owner of the voice was. I thought I would just skip today.

I turned around to face the person who had called me. It was just as expected.

“Becky.”

“Are you going to sleep already?”

Becky approached me one step at a leisurely pace.

“Yes. I’m a little tired.”

“Still, it’s a waste to go to bed early. It’s been a long time coming to the academy. Wouldn’t it be better to stay up as late as possible?”

“I can’t go out anyway, so what am I doing staying awake? You really don’t want to leave the dorm, do you?”

“Hey, do I look like that stupid bitch? The Academy isn’t a local inn and it’s obvious you’ll get caught, so there’s no reason to leave.”

“I’m glad I have that much brains.”

Becky approached slowly with slow movements and unexpectedly stopped at an appropriate distance for conversation.

She had taken off her armor and was wearing comfortable clothes. Of course, the same goes for me and others. There was no need to wear armor up to this point.

But one thing stands out… .

‘Are you not even wearing a bra? .’

Becky was wearing a white cloth top, and her nipples were clearly sticking out due to her ample breasts. I don’t know if it was intentional or just because I wore it like usual, but it secretly bothered me.

I tried my best not to look at the breasts and nipples that were flaunting their presence.

Becky said, rubbing her chin with her hand.

“But if I’m a stupid bitch, what happens to my brother who gets crushed under such a stupid bitch and cries out?”

“When did you say I was napping?”

“To be ashamed. It’s an advantage for men to moan easily.”

It’s starting again. I didn’t join in on Becky’s lame jokes.

“… Tell me about your business.”

Nothing good would come of talking to this woman for a long time. If you reply in vain, you will be caught and made fun of. It is 100 times better to just hold back and say only what needs to be said.

Becky licked her lips in disappointment at my reaction. The answer is to consistently ignore nonsense.

“It’s no fun when it comes out like that.”

“Tell me why you called me.”

“I am impatient.”

Becky stuck out her lips and grunted. He didn’t seem genuinely offended.

She made an exaggerated gesture for a moment to show that she was disappointed, then opened her mouth.

“There is no particular reason for calling. I came to ask what to do about the sparring the day after tomorrow.”

It was unexpected. I thought he must have come with an impure purpose. It was fortunate for me.

Of course, we can’t be at ease yet.

I stayed calm and answered.

“I’m still thinking about it. I only have until tomorrow to decide, so I’m going to think about it slowly.”

“Why not do it beforehand? I applied today too and it seems like other people are thinking positively too.”

“Hmm… .”

“They decided to limit mana and even if you get hurt, you will be healed. You don’t have to worry about the results. It doesn’t matter if you’re a noble or not, you can fight regardless of your status. I have to try this.”

“You’re not sparring because you want to beat up a noble, right?”

Becky smiled mischievously and waved her hand.

“Ehey. What do you think of me? There are many complex reasons.”

“I’m not denying it.”

“I told you. There are many reasons. Earn money and gain experience. and… It’s better if you win.”

“What if the other person does harm?”

Yesterday, the woman in butler clothes said something, but the world and nobles are not that easy.

But Becky just spoke calmly.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if at least you don’t die or become disabled? You promised you wouldn’t be held accountable, but would you go back on your word?”

“That’s right. The principle is not to hold anyone responsible for the results of the sparring. We promise that even if there are irreversible consequences, there will be no overt retaliation.”

Becky and I were startled by a voice that suddenly came from next to us and turned in the direction of the sound.

“You… ?”

“I heard you talking about Dalian in passing. Sorry for surprising you.”

The woman in butler clothes who led us to the lodging yesterday, that is, the lodging manager, bowed politely.

‘How soon?’

I broke into a cold sweat as I saw the manager approaching me without any sign. No matter how focused I was on the conversation with Becky, I couldn’t believe I didn’t notice until I got this close.

‘Are you saying that the academy’s lodging managers are also unusual? .’

Just because you’re good at hiding your presence doesn’t necessarily mean you’re strong. But at least it seemed clear that she was not an ordinary person.

Becky also looked quite embarrassed. It was only natural that he was confronted by an academy employee while he was talking about hitting a nobleman.

But being surprised is being surprised, and I pointed out the part of what the manager had just said that bothered me.

“I have one question. What do you mean by no overt retaliation?”

The manager’s eyes turned to me.

“If it is a legitimate sparring, it is the academy’s rule to accept the result. If that is violated, appropriate action is being taken at the academy level.”

The manager paused for a moment and continued his explanation, saying “of course.”.

“We cannot completely protect you. It may not be possible to ‘completely’ rule out the possibility of harm being done in a subtle way. However, we promise that at least there will be no threat to your life.”

“Umm… .”

A sigh came out. If you put it that way, it seemed like there was no need to worry about the future.

“Traum Imperial Academy is a prestigious and proud educational institution. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Okay. Thank you for your kind explanation while you are busy.”

“I just try to fulfill my responsibilities.”

The manager bowed again and left as quietly as he had come.

We could breathe comfortably only after the presence had completely disappeared.

“Whoa, I was really surprised. Where on earth did you approach me?”

Becky stroked her chest and exhaled loudly. As I was looking at that, I felt somewhat savory.

She snorted with a steamy face.

“… My excitement has been broken. Anyway, that’s all I was trying to say.”

Becky said to me “goodnight”,

Thump-

“Ugh… !”

“Take good care of the lower part. Don’t just give it to Karen, leave some for me too.”

He grabbed me between my legs and leisurely went back to his room.

“Damn bitch… .”

If anyone saw it, they would think I had deposited semen there. It was truly shameless to do something like this to a man who owned it and not feel any shame.

“Please, during sparring, if you hit the wrong opponent, you get hit from behind.”

I sincerely prayed that Becky would face an opponent such as a descendant of the Sword Saint or the greatest disciple of an archmage.

I trembled and entered the room, as if shaking off the feeling of the hand remaining on my groin.

“Tomorrow, I really should go out and have fun alone with Karen.”

As long as Becky is careful, her date won’t be interrupted.

Spending time alone with Karen for the first time since leaving Quien. I went to sleep excited and excited about tomorrow.
