Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

12 – Disciplinary Committee (1)

The door to the president’s office opened. Professor Phenicia, the head professor of magic theory and a strong vice-chancellor candidate, entered with the papers.

Clifford, who was doing his business, took off his glasses and massaged his eyes lightly.

“What happened?”

“I came to report. It’s a magic use case in the West.”

The Academy strictly prohibits the use of magic in unspecified areas. But it happens quite often.

Learn how to wield your strength to your heart’s content at a young age. When a fight broke out, it was common for it to spread to magic warfare.

Clifford was puzzled because it wasn’t something he could directly report to the president.

“I came to report because the party involved in the incident was a first-year student.”

“Ah.”

Clifford was convinced. No matter how often it happens, it’s a different story if you’re in the first year.

The beginning of anything is important. The first person to break the rules must come out, and to set the discipline right, they are supposed to be punished more severely than average.

It was up to the president to decide that. If it is excessive, it is against fairness, and if it is average, it is a disqualification as an example.

“This year is so fast that it can be described as unusual. Report.”

“I will explain the case from the beginning. The conflict started when ‘Catherine Ovillian’, a first-year student at the Ministry of Magic, was stopped by ‘Louid Christopher Windsor’ while going wild at a restaurant called ‘The Feast of Magic’.”

While listening to the report as usual, Clifford widened his eyes at Ruid’s name.

“Louid? Is that crazy Luid really right?”

“… That’s right. Prince Louis isn’t even an idiot.”

Phenicia squeaked her eyes out.

“I am the flagship star of the proud imperial academy. They say she’s the genius of the century, and there’s already a lot of buzz. Didn’t you hear the rumors?”

Of course, the crystal ball containing Ruid’s magic to summon the dragon was sold at a high price at the auction house.

It was listed as a candidate for the ‘Magician of the Year Award’ selected by the Wizards Association. Even at the beginning of the month, everyone talked a lot, such as that Louise Christopher would win the prize. The whole system was buzzing with talk of Ruid.

“What kind of signboard is this signboard of a gonom who sleeps all day! By the way.”

Clifford thumped the desk. He raised the corner of his mouth.

“Didn’t I say that he would buy a big deal soon? I was just thinking that that cheeky fellow would lose control of himself and use it like an idiot.”

With great power comes great responsibility. Judging by Louis’ behavior, Clifford judged that he had no such perception.

“Call him now. I will have to tell you myself.”

Declaring Clifford, thinking that this opportunity should be very daunting.

Fencia looked at Chancellor Clifford with her salty eyes.

“In this incident, Prince Louis is the victim. In order to avoid disputes as much as possible, I even made an ‘effort’ that the president liked so much. All the testimonies of the students present agree.”

“What?”

Clifford waved his hand at the nonsense.

“When you see one, you know ten. The guy who just blew up the forest with a troll, do you think he’ll live with it? And, by the way, there is no one of a higher rank than the House of Windsor in this academy. Are you arguing that you’re crazy? Eh tsk tsk.”

Clifford did not believe easily. Phenicia asked, bewildered.

“Why do you hate me so much? Prince Louis.”

“Who hates it? Don’t talk nonsense, just recount the incident!”

Phenicia sighed and said.

“…… First of all, the one who used magic was a student named Catherine. She preemptively struck with the third tier ‘Ice Pistol’.”

“Wigye, that word I miss. So, what will the bastard do?”

Hierarchy was a method of classifying magic spells in the past. In modern times, the study of magic has disappeared due to the insistence that it cannot be divided.

For example, if the Archmage uses the 1st tier magic ‘Fireball’, it will no longer be the 1st tier magic power.

However, the word hierarchy still exists. She spoke mainly of the old-timey way of chanting ‘startwords’, magic. It was because there were still quite a few wizard families that couldn’t adapt to the times.

“Yes. In the case of the Ruid student, it appears to be an application of ‘gravity’ magic, according to eyewitness testimony. In terms of hierarchy, it would be about 7th.”

Clifford asked with a sharp look.

“What is the judgment of the next vice president?”

“The quality of the crime is very bad. According to the testimonies of the students who were around, the female student continued to fight. Student Louise didn’t want to get involved and she even tried to leave. “

“Don’t you think it’s too much to respond with 7th tier magic to only 3rd tier magic?”

“The 7th tier magic was not aimed at people, but used to subdue the opponent’s magic. There doesn’t seem to be a problem at all.”

Phenicia did not shake even an inch. Clifford seemed displeased.

“Isn’t it magic to show off? Who would ever use a 7th tier to block an Ice Pistol?”

“Student Ruid is a genius. From his point of view, using 7th tier magic is as natural as breathing. That must have been more comfortable.”

“Heh heh.”

“hehehe.”

For his daughter who never lost a word, Clifford was half proud and half ridiculous.

‘Still, if you’re a child who will inherit the position of president later, you’ll need to have a platform like that, hm.’

His arms tended to bend inward, leaning a little more on the proud side. But he didn’t get over it.

“Didn’t you say she was the daughter of Ovilion?”

“Yes.”

“Will the nobles side with him? He would have testified against him with a high probability.”

“That’s an overestimation.”

Phenicia glared at Clifford.

“There is no case that can be properly solved that way.”

“It’s good to think based on the evidence, Phenicia. Think for yourself Who’s going to fight that bastard with magic? It’s about to break. Also, how could a young lady from a small family quarrel with Young master? That too continuously.”

Clifford waved his hand.

“You have to say something that makes sense. Words.”

“No, then what shall we do?”

Phenicia fought as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.

Clifford yelled.

“b*tch! What do you do? You don’t have to cross-validate. What is the truth! Called the party! Starting with a young lady named Castine!”

“I know that too?! And it’s Katherine, not Castine!”

Bang, Phenicia closed the door and left.

After staring at the closed door for a while, Clifford laughed.

“Heh heh, he has a nasty personality.”

Clifford was oblivious to the fact that his personality was worse.

**

Justin, called to the president’s office, was depressed. He was guilty of not stopping a fight that could have been prevented.

In fact, when Katherine said she would argue right away, Justin stopped right away. Because she knew the truth of the case.

Justin had a good ear. So I heard the waiter go to Ruid’s table and apologize.

However, the enraged Catherine was reckless. She ignored her own words to calm down and listen to her story, and used a spell that made her body stiffen for being disturbed.

It was a first-tier bondage magic. Desperate for talent, Justin couldn’t break even that weak spell.

So she had no choice but to let go and watch the situation. It was because Catherine’s magic was already flying towards Louis when he exerted all his strength to cancel her magic.

‘…… It was foolish.’

At that time, the focus was just on Ruid slashing Catherine’s magic.

The saying, ‘I don’t deserve to be alive because I have no skills’ was also true for myself, the weakest member of the academy.

But her feelings subsided, and she realized that it was clearly her fault.

However, on the other hand, I also felt this way.

‘With that kid’s skills, I could have handled it better.’

Everyone makes mistakes. Anyone can be angry and misunderstood. Should I have done that? No matter how angry you are.

“… Sorry.”

Katherine, who sat in front of her, lowered her head.

“It’s all because of me.”

“You don’t have to apologize to me, Catherine. She just came to testify.”

“I’m afraid you might get hurt.”

Sophia shook her head.

“I am more sorry. I forced myself to go to a place I didn’t want to go… “

“Sophia did nothing wrong. Are you doing that with a good heart? … And, there is also my responsibility for not stopping you.”

As the three were talking, the door opened.

He is tall and has a stocky physique. Stubborn face. It was Clifford. Phenicia, who stood behind her, joined her hands and followed behind, closing the door behind her.

“So, are you the instigators of this case?”

“Yes.”

Clifford sat down on the sofa. He put his hands on the table and brought his upper body closer.

“Now, tell me.”

“Yes?”

“That is unfortunate. Will there be?”

Phenicia looked at Clifford, who seemed openly willing to take her side.

This time, I was thinking of protesting if I forced myself to do so.

“Unfortunate… What is the dot?”

“Yes. Apparently, the witnesses are all aristocrats. Can you not notice the Windsor family? Let’s talk. If there’s anything unfair about it, I’ll listen to it all.”

“That’s right, President. It’s unfortunate…… “

Justin opened her mouth.

“I didn’t ask you.”

President Clifford said firmly. Justin’s body trembled.

He only looked at Catherine.

“Tell me.”

“…… That is.”

Catherine pondered for a moment. Should she apologize here? Or is it right that she expresses resentment?

The time to worry was not long.

“It was my fault that I used magic. But.”

Catherine bit her lip.

“You were the one who insulted me first because I was a villain who didn’t even admit my mistakes and argued.”

Justin’s eyes widened.

‘Boo, I’m sure he spoke well, but why?’

I told Catherine in detail about the incident. It’s really a misunderstanding, so let’s go apologize together later.

But the words coming out of Catherine’s mouth now were completely different.

“Your fault? What did you do wrong?”

“I forced the waiter to bring food before us. I immediately challenged the waiter. But he wasn’t referring to the waiter, he was addressing Louis, who was obviously listening. But, they ignored it.”

Clifford nodded his head in sympathy with a serious face.

“That’s why you’re angry.”

“Yes. I really couldn’t stand it. Is it because people just ignore me even though I’m talking right next to them? However, he took advantage of the lack of evidence and got away with it. How nasty.”

“Hmm, so? How did you use magic?”

“…… I’ve heard of Billion. I couldn’t hold back my anger for a moment. Sorry.”

Clifford stood up with a serious face.

“There is no need to measure long. I will judge right here.”

“President… !”

Felicia bit her molar. Clifford waved his hand. He meant not to argue.

“Catherine Ovillian.”

“Yes.”

Catherine looked at Clifford with a slightly bright expression. I was glad that she recognized her own injustice.

“Expulsion.”

“… Yes?”

Catherine froze in place. She did the same with Justin and Sophia.

“After all, there were no lies in the rumors. Eh, tsk. I’m sorry. That bastard was able to confuse him very much.”

Clifford grumbled and tried to get out with his hands behind his back.

Katherine shouted with quivering pupils.

“Bar, this is unacceptable! Didn’t you believe my story?”

Clifford’s steps stopped.

“Even if what you say is true, the result is not different-.”

Clifford’s eyes flashed with fire.

“Are you arguing that you only ate a little late? What’s better with that? How are you feeling? It’s a waste of time for the professors who have to teach a stupid b*tch who doesn’t even have such basic situational judgment skills. Don’t say it twice.”

Clifford’s words fell like thunder.

“You are expelled.”

And without looking back, I moved on.
