Academy Munchkin Enslaved

5 – On the topic of slavery

Boring.

The Dearheart family, one of the best magical families on the continent. And Lorraine Dearheart, who is also called a genius in her family.

She told her that her academy first year lectures, especially her foundation classes in every first period, were boring. She didn’t even feel the need to listen.

She

She said that there are many cadets whose level has risen dramatically since the second year, and it is difficult just to keep up with them.

It’s been two months since the first year started, so when do you mean to wait for the second year?

She was the one who attended most of the lectures for the sake of her family’s reputation, but she couldn’t stand her first class.

She looks like she’s going to die of sleep in the morning, but she just couldn’t stand her tedious lecture.

All scholars must be faithful to the basics.

Lorraine Her characteristic arrogance was not interested in such facts.

She probably grew up listening to the sound of genius since she was a child. It was because her gaze and the bridge of her nose were always directed above her.

“Uncle. Would you like to solve this?”

Today, Lorraine was skipping school in the hallway instead of taking her first class, her basics.

Instead of a boring lecture, he raised a single problem in a contest held for all students.

“… What is it that is.”

The

Contest is an intramural competition in which the first student to solve the magic circle posted on the bulletin board wins a prize.

Unlike direct battles such as subjugation and confrontation, this is a tournament where you can purely show off your magic arithmetic skills.

Participation is simple. Write down the posted magic circle solution and put it in the box placed in front of the teacher’s office.

When the first correct answer occurs, the contest ends immediately and the winners are announced.

However, the level of questions in the competition was difficult for a 3rd year student to solve. In some cases, there were also cases where the winners did not come out and ended.

Lorraine also felt like writing her answer right away, and she wanted to post an answer sheet with her name on it, but she couldn’t quite figure out her correct answer.

It is said to be a competition, but in fact, the level of difficulty was so high that ordinary cadets only recognized it as a difficult magic circle pasted in the corner of the bulletin board.

“It’s about the contest. It is also difficult. Well, of course, I don’t know what the old man was talking about. Shall I show you?”

“Let’s take a look. If you don’t mind.”

“Yes.”

You shouldn’t be like this normally. Why is a slave who repeats the same thing showing interest? Curiously, Lorraine handed over the problem.

From Ian’s point of view, he knew that magic was based on calculus, so he wanted to take a look at it, but Lorraine couldn’t know the truth.

“If you submit a solution to this problem, is it the way to win?”

“Right. Can you solve it If you are confident, try it once. Do you know If you answer correctly, it might set you free from slavery.”

Looking at Ian, who was seriously looking at the problem, Lorraine giggled and said.

Why are slaves so serious that they don’t even know the basic magic of the 0th rank, let alone contests?

If it was someone else, it would have been disgusting, but thanks to his beautiful face, the expression he was concentrating on looked cute.

“… I don’t think so.”

As expected, Ian, who had been looking at the problem for a while, must have quickly lost interest, so he handed over the problem again and focused on cleaning.

Perhaps he gave up because it’s just a picture that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about anyway.

Lorraine thought so, but in fact, Ian thought it was so easy that he thought, ‘This is… Contest?’ I was thinking.

After learning about magic the day before and dealing with monsters, he just wanted to quickly go to the library and explore more about magic.

The contest was also interesting, but it was obvious that a slave would only get suspicious if he put in the correct answer, so there seemed to be no way to inform that he knew the correct answer.

“Then I have to win the prize~ But it’s difficult as expected… I can’t think of a solution at all.”

From Ian’s point of view, it was good.

Lorraine, who always talked loudly, barely opened her mouth today as she was engrossed in that magic circle.

Thanks to that, I was able to finish cleaning earlier than usual.

If you do a little bit of what you have to do in the 2nd period in the remaining time, you will have more time to study magic later.

Ian quickly organized the cleaning tools with an exciting feeling that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

“Lo, Lorraine! What are you doing! It’s lecture time!”

“Eri? Did you come out of the lecture too because you were bored?”

“I know you are! It’s a bathroom!”

“Ah… okay? But why are you so excited and upset? Did you masturbate in the bathroom?”

“Muh, mumumu, what… ! Is it because it annoys me that a slave like that is talking to a cadet?!”

However, Ian’s mood was immediately sent to the ground by a loud voice.

Her voice frowned. And the subtle lemon scent that she exudes with him.

All of her things that fit her well made her head tingle.

“I spoke to you first… ?”

“Anyway! I feel bad! Like a slave.”

“Ha… “

Ian sighed spontaneously.

Her name is Erie Weiss.

She is not of the level of the Dearheart family, but she is the daughter of a fairly famous magic family, and like Lorraine, she is an academy first year student.

Ian could easily figure out what kind of character she was from the beginning, just by looking at her yellow hair and high twin tails.

‘Tsundere… It’s not, it’s just cheap. I’ve seen that b*tch bully slaves a few times. Except for me.’

There are often such cadets.

Torturing and beating slaves just because they are slaves and because they stood out.

This was not the case with the cadets who were from commoners, and most of them were from nobles.

Eri was one of those, too, and whenever she met Ian in particular, she annoyed her.

Honestly, it wasn’t violence or anything like that, but that thumping voice was enough to make Ian dizzy.

“What? Are you sighing now about slaves?”

“… “

In my experience, the best way was to ignore it and leave.

Besides, she’s in class right now, so Eri won’t be able to spend a long time in the hallway either.

Having made up her mind, Ian quickly grabbed the cleaning kit and left her hallway.

“Wait!”

No, I was trying to escape.

Eri’s high-pitched voice caught Ian right away.

“What are you doing? I asked a question, but you didn’t answer and ran away?”

“Somebody said it was annoying to see a lowly slave talking to a cadet… “

“Keep, ok… It’s worse to ignore the cadet’s words on the topic of slavery!”

‘What the f*ck are you saying… ‘

Ian laid his eyes on her, suppressing the desire to kick the cheeky little boy in the shin.

He honestly didn’t seem to have much business, but it was clear he just wanted to make a fuss.

As Eri puts her hand on her waist as if it were just the beginning, Ian sighs deeply into her and puts down her cleaning tool.

“And! Are you the male slave who was said to have been near the cracked barrier yesterday?”

“That’s because I am the only male slave… “

“Don’t answer me! Why were you there at that late hour! Professor Grimstone suffered because of you!”

Isn’t that what the professor was originally supposed to do? In the first place, if it wasn’t for me, the monsters would have been closer to the academy.

As expected, such complaints could not come out of Ian’s mouth.

I just promise that someday, when I master the magic properly, I will have to scold this cheeky b*tch.

“I wish I could have died yesterday!”

“… I am sorry that I was fine without a single wound.”

“Behave well in the future!”

“I will. Cadet.”

“Hey!”

As she bowed her head like a true slave, Eri somehow brightened her expression and went back.

Still, did it make you feel better because they supported you? She thought so, and Ian sighed deeply.

Now, just as I was really about to leave the freshman hallway, Lorraine approached Ian with a giggle.

“He really doesn’t change. How are you, uncle? If you play with me, Eri will stop bothering you.”

“The first period is over soon, so let’s go.”

This year or that year. Why are there no normal people at the academy?

No, are all wizards like this? As long as you’re an idiot on a subject you can’t even do calculus with…

“f*ck… “

With all the swearing in his heart, Ian hurriedly left the hallway before the cadets came out.

Because it was clear that if I made a mistake and met another beggar cadet, I would be in trouble again.

As expected, the academy is not a normal place. Like any other web novel cliché.

Rarely does a nostalgia for modernity come to mind, and Ian lamented this f*cking slave life.

I could have done the work sooner today. She laments that she was unable to do so because her time was taken away by Eri.

She just continued to do menial tasks as a slave in silence.

Still, it was at least comforting thanks to the magic study I started alone in the library in the evening.

The only comforting study time in the evening.

By bringing the modern study of calculus and studying magic, Ian unknowingly rose to the stage at a tremendous speed and endured day by day like that.

***

Ian picked up pens and usable papers from the pile of waste paper he picked up while cleaning, and secretly studied the magic circles even at the dorm.

“Now, up to the third tier… It’s easy. It’s definitely comfortable because you learn the Acceleration method. My head feels clearer too. Thanks to that, I can do my calculations more neatly.”

In fact, the calculations were the same, but learning the Acceleration Method made it easier to use magic.

Maintain the flow of mana passing through the brain through meditation. And by increasing the speed, the brain’s thinking speed is faster.

I expanded my thinking step by step as it was written in the Acceleration of Acceleration Method textbook, so the calculations definitely became easier.

Not only did it simply earn more time to think, but the flow of thought became more pure, making it easier to focus on calculations.

And the unique way to use mana also seemed to visually assist the calculation, so the calculation speed was actually much faster than when tapping the calculator in the past.

“I heard that a wizard who has reached the 6th level uses 1 second as if it were 1000 seconds… Do you need that much?”

The beings called wizards train the Acceleration of Acceleration for a long time and study magic to raise their level. That was the basic method for now.

However, Ian, who reached the 3rd tier magic in an exceptionally fast time of about two weeks, was honestly pathetic about the wizards.

Of course, it’s probably because he doesn’t know calculus. From the point of view of the master’s degree in mathematics, it was inevitable that all the calculations of the wizards looked pitiful.

“My accident acceleration right now is about 70 seconds… It looks like it will be able to pierce the 4th tier magic soon… “

I don’t know what a higher level magic would be like, but from what I’ve done so far, it’s about 7 minutes.

So it seemed that even if you reached the level of using 1 second as 400 seconds, you would be able to use 6th tier magic.

Using here means not just using it, but being skilled enough to use it in real combat.

From the perspective of the wizards in this world, it was impossible, and it was a level that no one could surpass.

For Ian, who has experienced calculus numerous times in the past, it was just a sense of solving troublesome problems.

It meant that he had absolutely no idea how big of an impact his skills would have.

For him, it’s just magic, no big deal. It’s just an impression.

“By the way, Miya is late. Aren’t you coming today?”

Rather, right away, Ian’s interest was in Miya.

Miya, who used to visit me every night, didn’t come today even after hours passed.

There were days when he didn’t come, but today I heard in advance that he would bring waffles for dinner, so I was a bit worried.

“Let’s go for a walk and only go as far as the neighborhood.”

It would be okay to take a walk towards the female slave quarters and ask the slave you see about Miya’s whereabouts.

Obviously, most slaves would know about something special.

Ian hid the half-damaged quill and paper under the bed and went outside.

“Um… ?”

I was walking relying on the moonlight like that. She was able to find Miya quickly without asking any other slaves.

– Poetry, because I don’t like it… !

-This year… ! On the subject of slavery…

Somewhere between the female slave dormitory and Ian’s dormitory.

It was because Miya was struggling because she was caught by a male cadet.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that the cadet came late at night, aiming for Miya’s body.

I don’t know how they properly found Miya in the middle of the street, and I don’t know why they came to this remote place.

“That bastard… “

It was a scene that was enough to incur Ian’s anger.
