Academy Munchkin Enslaved

10 – On the face of this beggar princess

Ugh-

In the middle of the night, no one is left at the academy.

At the academy, where only the protection magic is humming, Professor Lydia Grimstone is left alone in the classroom, clutching her head.

“Haa… Hopefully this is real… No, it’s real.”

A while ago, the president’s order. To find the anonymous correct answer in the contest.

All the professors couldn’t even guess the owner of the handwriting, but oddly enough, Professor Lydia was familiar with the handwriting.

But she definitely didn’t have the handwriting of a cadet in the class she was in charge of, and I wondered where I’d seen it…

“That slave calculated 5th tier magic… “

Currently, the academy’s only male slave. Did he say his name was Ian?

I received a confidentiality memorandum from him, just in case, who was involved in the recent monster invasion.

As it turns out, the handwriting of the signature I received at the time and the handwriting on the answer sheet for the contest were exactly the same.

“I have to admit this… Emotion magic is also said to be the fifth right.”

Of course, it is impossible for a slave to solve the 5th tier magic.

I used handwriting appraisal magic several times to confirm, but the result was the same.

The two handwritings have the same owner. In other words, it meant that it was certain that the slave wrote this answer sheet.

“Come to think of it, there was a cadet talking nonsense in class.”

Jilinnam, who was found exhausted on the side of the road a while ago.

When asked why he had been lying on the side of the road since dawn like that, he said that he was threatened by a male slave.

I was given enough penalty points to repeat nonsense, such as calculating 7 Lightning Spears at the same time.

“Maybe if it wasn’t a lie.”

The recent invasion of monsters, and the burn marks left on monsters.

The cadet’s nonsense that a male slave calculated 7 Lightning Spears at once.

And crucially, the answer sheet perfectly matched with the slave’s handwriting.

There won’t be a coincidence like this. All the evidence was saying that the male slave named Ian was no ordinary slave.

“A warrior… “

And at that moment, one word passed through Professor Lydia’s mind.

A warrior.

He was originally summoned to this world as a hero to shoulder the fate of the continent.

There is no proof that he is the hero of the prophecy in the empire, and he sold him to the academy as a slave because he judged it to be a wrong summon.

Certainly, the first time he saw him, he had no strength or ability, so he had no doubts about it.

“No way… “

But if you think about it, it was strange.

According to the story of the summoners in charge of the summoning magic circle, there was no problem with summoning.

You might think they lied for their own comfort, but the other wizards of the Mage Tower also came to the same conclusion.

In other words, the summoning is not wrong. It means that such a quantity came out of the correct summoning magic circle.

“The holy sword didn’t react… “

However, the holy sword did not react to him who came out of such a correct summoning, nor did he feel any blessing from the goddess.

However, if you look at the contents of the prophecy, there is no content that the summoned hero resonates with the holy sword.

Only a legend has been handed down that a hero of the past used a holy sword to save the continent.

In addition, there was no talk that the blessing of the goddess took the form of divine power.

Only one abstract word, ‘gift’, is presented.

If you only looked at the contents of the prophecy, there was no contradiction.

Of course, it was difficult that there was no evidence of a recognizable hero right away, but there was also no evidence that the summoned person was not a hero.

According to the prophecy, it was said that a hero would grow up for 10 years and defeat the demon king in 10 years.

Even if the hero is a late-blooming talent, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

The most reliable records. The part that violated the prophecy meant that there was no summoning.

“Haa… How should I interpret this… “

From a logical point of view, there is nothing wrong with that.

Although she realized that, Lydia still had a hard time accepting the possibility that the slave could actually be the hero of the prophecy.

That’s because Lydia has treated him only as a slave.

Not only he, but everyone considered him to be the academy’s only male slave.

Of course, only a handful of people involved know that he is an alien who was summoned as a hero…

“First of all, I guess I’ll check first. Reporting this fact to the president at will… It’s difficult right now.”

Rumors had already spread that the summoning had failed, and the authority of the imperial family had fallen from the continent.

It was clear that the empire had a grudge against the summoner named Ian, and even if he was a real warrior, there was no way they could easily accept it.

A situation that even Lydia herself is not sure about. It’s just a guess, but they’re amazing.

It seems certain that the slave, no, Ian solved this magic circle.

And it also seems certain that he can use magic.

Of course, it is not possible to say that he has the qualities of a hero simply with these facts alone. It was definitely something out of the ordinary.

It’s a difficult situation to make hasty judgments, so for now.

“For now, keep your mouth shut… would be nice.”

First of all, secure the exact facts from him, and report it to the president first.

And informing the empire and the continent of this fact would have to be done later.

Right now, even at the academy, there was an imperial person who had a grudge against him.

The duty on duty ended a long time ago, but Lydia was still unable to leave work and was holding her head at the academy.

***

“Hmm, is it too much to still use 5th tier magic?”

How things went until the 4th tier, but it was still difficult to use the 5th tier magic directly.

Of course, I could do all the calculations whether it was a 5th or 6th rank. Because it was just an annoying calculus problem.

But no, it was difficult to actually use it because the amount of mana was insufficient, probably because the Acceleration method was not skilled.

There were still many things that were lacking, such as mana management and the need to perform calculations within the given time.

“However, if you properly train the Acceleration of Acceleration method, you will be able to reach the 7th tier of ancient magic. Perhaps.”

I am not interested in magic like TS at all, but I am quite interested in other magic.

Studying magic itself was much more fun than studying slavery in graduate school, so it was only natural that he would be interested in 7th tier magic, the highest peak of magic.

The 7th tier magic is the legendary magic created by ancient wizards that modern wizards have yet to reach.

Only a few records remain, and even that can only be viewed by a few wizards recognized on the continent.

“It is inevitable that you will need to break free from this slavery.”

All scholars must pursue a higher realm.

To do that, I had to get out of this f*cking slavery.

I still can’t come up with a way to get out of it. Well, if you show me how to use 6th tier magic, I wonder if they’ll do something about it.

To do that, you must first improve your magic skills.

I heard that there are magic tools that increase the amount of mana or assist with accident acceleration. Kind of like a cash item.

If you can get those things, you might be able to grow faster.

And maybe, maybe, if you study the summoning magic that summoned me to this place, you might be able to develop a magic that will return you to where you were.

It was a new goal to learn magic in the life of a slave who had no hope.

“… You. What are you doing here?”

… This.

For a while, I was imagining the happiness of writing a dissertation with the 7th level magic, but of course this pitiful reality did not allow such happiness.

The place where I am right now is a grass field located at the end of the academy site. It’s mainly where I eat lunch.

“Isn’t this the time you should be working?”

My lunch break was already over, but I was still lying here contemplating magic.

Thanks to being able to use magic, I was able to finish most of the things I had to do in the morning.

Thanks to that, the cadets had quite a bit of time to do what they had to do after school.

Recently, it has become a daily routine to lie down like this in the afternoon and contemplate while being blown by the wind.

“That, that… The work to be done is now finished. Rather, why is the princess here… ?”

I was relieved because it was a place where the people of the academy didn’t go often.

One of the people I most hate to meet has been interfering with my contemplation.

“Is that important now? There must have been a given job, but to be lazy like this. Doesn’t it look good that this fact is known?”

“There is really nothing to do until after school time. Even the princess knows that the slaves have to work without encountering the cadets.”

“Of course I know that much. It’s lecture time, and you think I don’t know that you have something to do during this time?”

Why does a nobleman the size of a princess know my schedule?

Similarly, the princess, a first-year student at the academy, doesn’t have to run into her often, but whenever she meets like this, she gets into a fight.

It was the same with the other cadets, but it was probably the most annoying being because, like a princess, she had been scolding me by saying only polite words.

“I’m sorry, but that work was already finished in the morning. I got used to it and the pace increased.”

“Then you should talk to the administration and increase your work. And why are you holding your head up so stiffly? About the topic of taking a break without permission during work hours? If there is nothing to do during work hours, isn’t it common sense to find a new job? Who gave you permission to rest as you please?”

It’s a start again f*ck.

As soon as the princess ran into me, she made such a sudden rush that she scorned me for thirty minutes on her own accord and then disappeared again.

And behind the scenes, I often reported my behavior to the management bureau and increased my work.

Anyway, since these are the words of the princess, of course they will respond immediately.

It was thanks to these two years that the life of slavery became more difficult.

“… This is why the insignificant aliens. The only thing I should be grateful for, just for saving my life, is you. For what purpose do you think the imperial family showed mercy?”

Have mercy?

It is none other than you who summoned me, who was living a good life on my own. Rather, you should compensate for my life that you ruined.

Mercy on the subject of ruining a person’s life at will? Thanks?

I didn’t want this kind of slave life in another world. It was you who did the wrong thing, but where are you shifting the blame?

At least one summoning magic was not done properly…

“Yes… I know… “

I wanted to punch that proud face right away, but I suppressed my anger by grinding my molars.

In the clenched fist, the skin pressed by the fingernails dug deep, and the blood vessels protruding due to the concentration of blood looked as if they would burst at any moment.

I’ve gotten quite used to slave life now, but I can’t get used to this princess.

Gaslighting the summoned subject at will, and the fate of the continent, which has nothing to do with me…

Why is it my fault that the summoning magic failed and the authority of the imperial family collapsed?

They don’t want to admit their faults, so what makes them proud of the royal family?

This beggar-like imperial family, the continent. Even if I was summoned as a real hero, I would not save it.

No, even if there was a heart to save, if there was a princess like this, the heart would have completely disappeared.

“Anyway, thank you. Since you have been blessed with your life, do not think of playing around here and there, but work more.”

It has been a really disappointing year. As befits a noble bloodline, her brilliant blonde hair and appearance stimulated men’s gaze, but every time I saw her, I could only think of slapping her cheek.

Even if it was the princess, to me she was just one of the disgusting members of the royal family who ruined my life.

And because of that, I became more earnest. I wished for more earnestly.

Someday… Indeed, someday, when you can use all the higher level magic.

When he developed the ancient 7th tier and the magic to return to the original world.

“… Yes. All right.”

I will pour the strongest magic I can on the face of this beggar princess and return to the original world.
