Academy Munchkin Enslaved

3 – Lord, Master…

“I worked hard today too.”

“You too… Good job.”

“Eat some of this. It was served as lunch for the cadets at lunch today, but there was a lot left over so I brought it. It was a bit cold, but… “

“Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even be able to see the meat.”

He hurriedly ate the grilled skewers wrapped in tinfoil that Miya had brought.

Although everything cooled down as she said, it was still delicious enough.

Sweet and salty seasoning and chewy meat were nothing like any delicacy for me, who usually eats only chewy bread.

By the way, Miya is an academy slave like me. Among other things, she is a restaurant slave who works in the cadet cafeteria.

Of course, restaurant slaves do not cook themselves.

There are separate chefs for cooking, and the role of doing the rest of the chores.

For example, disposal of leftovers, cleaning of restaurants and kitchens, washing dishes, etc.

It is a role to do difficult and smelly trivial tasks. Chefs really only cook.

Still, as a restaurant is a place where cleanliness is important, the treatment of the restaurant slaves is rather good.

And they can eat the leftovers like now, so at least they don’t have to worry about going hungry.

“Ah~ I want to work in a restaurant too.”

“It would be nice to work with Ian. Was it hard today? They work in the rain from morning.”

“It was a lot of work… I ate well, Miya. Thanks to you, I am always strong.”

“What is Hogang? Thanks to Ian, our work has been reduced, so I am rather thankful.”

Only nobles can have castles in this world. However, as a slave, I also have the last name ‘Lee’, but no one knows about it.

I’m too lazy to explain that I became a slave anyway, so I don’t bother to say that it’s a foreign name.

“Can I go back soon? I think it’s late.”

“I’m still fine. Everyone is probably washing up.”

The slaves at the academy are all female except for me.

I think it was to protect the female students, but on the other hand, it also meant that she had no consideration for female slaves.

Anyway, because of that, I had to use a different lodging than the other slaves, and I remodeled an abandoned warehouse located in the corner of the academy site and use it as a lodging.

Of course, the facilities are not good, but when I think of the semi-basement room I used to live in, well, it feels similar.

“Wouldn’t it be a big deal if I caught you going in and out of this place like this all the time?”

“It’s okay. Anyway, the people at the academy don’t even care about us.”

Miya was the first person to talk to me when I was sold as a slave to the academy.

Like her friendly tone and smile, her heart was warm, and she took care of me, who suffered as a male slave alone.

While living as a slave, he gave helpful tips and brought leftover food like today.

Thanks to that, it was a beggarly place, but at least it was comfortable to adapt to. Maybe if it wasn’t for Miya, she would still be confused and punished every day.

I have gotten quite close with Miyawa now, so it seemed like a daily routine for the two of us to talk alone after work at my residence like this.

“Isn’t it scary to sleep alone every day? It is said that there is a barrier, but at night I can hear the cries of monsters… “

“Not really, because I’m used to sleeping alone. Are you safe anyway?”

Miya leaned halfway over my hard bed, ready to settle down.

Miya’s cozy-looking ivory-colored hair sways and spreads a nice scent in my room.

It’s amazing how Miya’s body always smells good, even though she’s a slave like me.

Besides, she was dressed like any other slave, but she was as good as her appearance.

A cute face that arouses protective instincts in men and a menacing body that is the opposite…

I feel sorry for myself for thinking about this even during this kind of slave life, but Miya was a woman who was highly stimulated because they were alone in the same room like this.

I wonder if my desire is stronger because I live a life like a livestock?

She sometimes has bad thoughts about her Miya, but when she sees her doing her favor to me with her ignorant innocent look on her face, I force myself to erase those thoughts.

‘What is this for the kid who helps me because I feel sorry for me?’

The only person in this academy who shows me favor.

Even if you can’t repay the favor, you shouldn’t think like this.

“By the way, what is that paper in your pocket? It was sticking out from before.”

“Uh… ? Ah, this. A cadet threw it to throw away, but he kept it in his pocket.”

The test paper Lorraine threw at me during the day.

Recognizing that magic is based on calculus, I calculated the magic circle while looking at the test papers every break.

“I have to throw it away tomorrow. Paper from the academy has to be properly disposed of on paper.”

Even though he said that he used the magic written here all day, it was difficult to properly explain the circumstances, so he decided to hide it for now.

In the first place, using magic in this world is proof that you are a genius in itself.

That’s why the number of students in the wizard academy is far less than the number of students in the knight academy.

It was absurd to say that I, a slave in a world full of common sense, could easily use magic.

“Ian? What’s the matter?”

“Oh, nothing. Do you want to go back? It’s really late now.”

“Eh, huh? I think I’m still fine… “

“It’s okay. Why don’t you wake up. If you go to bed later, you will be tired tomorrow.”

Actually, I had a bit of free time, but I was tired.

Certainly, the concept of mana exists. From a certain point on, no matter how much I concentrated, only my strength was drained, and no magic was used.

Maybe he used up all his mana. He was quite tired from studying the magic of the test paper all day long.

“Ugh… Then just sleep here? I’m tired of walking… “

“How long will it take, wake up. Don’t say anything about the big day.”

This lady…

Miya doesn’t know how fast I am, and she rolls around on my bed and plays with me.

A normal man would have thought it was a joke.

She didn’t feel bad for Miya because she knew that Miya felt sorry for me.

You can’t think that way to a friend like a benefactor.

Today I am very tired. It’s a bit difficult, but I’ll take Miya and go to sleep right away.

“Ehh… no! There are people who snore, so if you sleep over there, you won’t be able to sleep.”

“I’ll take you there, so let’s go. You have to get up early tomorrow too.”

“Huh… okay.”

I was always stubborn, but when asked to take me there, I always reluctantly stood up.

It doesn’t matter that she sleeps with her, but in fact, she doesn’t have the confidence to put Miya next to her.

It is a pitiful figure that has already been deprived of all human rights, but I wanted to protect at least a bit of humanity.

“… Fool.”

“Huh? What?”

“No. Let’s go!”

After leaving the door, Miya clung to me and walked.

I wanted to say that it wasn’t too close, but the road was dark.

“More than that, Miya. Is it really possible to enter the academy if you have only skills? Regardless of status?”

“What… yes? Especially here, at the wizard academy, there seems to be a strong tendency to value skill more. Maybe it’s because the talent for magic is rare. In the past, it is said that there was a case where a slave of a certain duke learned magic over his shoulder and secretly ran away and entered the academy.”

“Um… I see.”

“Even if you have talent. This is not applicable to slaves like us who have no talent or power.”

She has always been Miya with a bright appearance, but when she thinks about her situation, she must have gotten depressed for no reason. Her expression hardened for a moment.

“Why is that suddenly?”

“Just. Nothing.”

Without speaking for a moment, Miya and I walk through the academy grounds in the middle of the night.

The site of the academy was as large as a city, so the environment was slightly different here and there.

It is safe to say that this place, at the end of the poorly developed academy site, with miscellaneous facilities including slaves’ dwellings, is almost in a state of nature.

But that wasn’t a bad thing at all. Rather, the sound of nature and the night sky where stars seemed to pour in were the few pleasures of the hard life of a slave.

As Miya and I were walking down the street alone at night, somehow a warm feeling came up.

“Hey… Ian.”

“Huh?”

“That… Don’t get me wrong, listen?”

“I’m listening.”

“So… “

-Kleureung…

“Huh? What?”

“Oh, I haven’t told you yet! That, so… “

-Kirrururruk…

“Wait. Can’t you hear something, Miya?”

“Uh, huh?”

“Clearly from behind… “

-Kio oh oh oh oh ok-!

“Uh… ?”

“Miya-!”

A black figure appeared with a scream that got closer in an instant.

It hit us in an instant and luckily I grabbed Miya and fell down avoiding the black figure.

“Run away in the direction of the academy, Miya! And whoever is fine, call someone. Hurry!”

“Uh, huh? What is that… “

“It’s a monster. Hurry!”

I forcibly pushed Miya, who couldn’t grasp the situation, and ran in the opposite direction.

After picking up a stone from the floor and throwing it to lure the monster towards me.

After confirming that the monster was running towards me, I ran without looking back.

-Kio oh oh oh oh!

The body was a monster in the shape of a wolf, but the face was torn and the tongue protruding was ugly.

Did all monsters look this terrible in the first place? Could it be that it was a dark fantasy world?

Is it because he ran while thinking such a foolish thought?

Because of the darkness, I couldn’t look under my feet properly and fell down.

-Kiooooo!

Thanks to that, in an instant, the distance between me and the monsters became closer, and the monsters drool and rushed at me.

“Whoa!”

I managed to avoid being bitten by the monster by rolling on the floor, but I couldn’t get up and run again because my legs were already loose.

At the moment I wondered if I was going to die like this, a possibility popped up in my head like a flash.

‘Magic… perhaps… ‘

The basic magic learned during the day.

I only saw it today, but thanks to that shock, all magical calculation processes and senses remained smart.

‘Although it’s basic magic… If I stack it several times, I might be able to buy some time.’

Use fire magic to light a small ember. And focus your mind to keep the fire burning.

In a state of concentration, use fire again and again.

That alone isn’t enough, so it uses wind magic to add oxygen to the flames, increasing its size exponentially.

Fire and Wind. Fire and Wind.

With simple calculations, it quickly creates a flame bigger than my body.

Whether it was a sign that there was no mana in his body, the more he concentrated, the more he became dizzy, but he endured it.

Because I have to live for now. They say that this life is better even if you roll in dog sh*t.

“At this rate… “

Increasing the size of the flames by the size of the monster.

It took about 7 seconds until all the calculations were completed.

The monster turned again and was running towards me, and with this much flame, I could buy enough time.

By the way,

‘How do I fly this?’

I’m tired.

I succeeded in making the fire big and powerful, but I don’t know how to blow it towards the monster.

There was no change even if I moved my hand, and if I took another action, it seemed like my concentration would be broken.

“Poetry, Shiva, Shiva!!!”

In the end, the monster twirled its tongue and rushed to bite me again, and I threw myself to the side once again leaving behind a flame.

Fortunately, I was able to avoid being eaten by monsters.

-Kiooooo!!

“Oh, oh oh… ? Did it happen?”

Thanks to that, it was as if the monster had jumped into the flames by itself, and the monster was consumed by the huge flames, writhing in pain.

“All right, all right. That’s it! Ha ha ha ha ha! This is magic! This is another world!”

-Kiooooo!!

“Ha ha ha! hahahaha… ha ha ha… ?”

But the joy is short-lived.

Perhaps it was because he was drunk with victory and couldn’t win the excitement, but when he lost his concentration, the flames covering the monster gradually got smaller.

There was definitely damage done to the monsters, but it didn’t seem like the damage caused the monsters to be incapacitated.

So this time it means that I really screwed up.

“Wait a minute! Time!”

Perhaps it was full of anger, the monster rushed at me at a faster speed than before,

“Quaaagh!”

Seeek-

“aaah… ?”

Am I dying without moving? However, when I opened my eyes, the decapitated corpse of the monster was spread out in front of me.

“Hmm… Isn’t it an ordinary monster? Even if the compensation for the barrier is that… “

And a woman walking slowly with her hand on her chin and muttering.

His gait was serious, weighty, and noble.

Even in the dark of the night, the starlight reflects the starlight, making it stand out. The shadow of deep contemplation contained in it.

I don’t know this woman’s name.

But one thing was certain.

The existence I knew very well from the past. The very heinous existence that brings me terrible memories, and is pulled out of that living hell with sweet temptations and carrots.

“Lord, Master… “

Master…

Ah, no, it was the professor.
