Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

14 – Disciplinary Committee (3)

“Student Ruid is here.”

“Then it is. He’ll go up…… What?”

Chancellor Clifford raised his head buried in his papers. He took off his glasses

“That bastard came?”

“Yes.”

Clifford was quite taken aback by Phenicia’s words. Memories of the past flashed in an instant.

-‘I am also responsible for not stopping you, so I will share the punishment. Only expulsion, please…… !’

-‘If you divide the expulsion, you will be expelled. Do you want to be expelled too? He’s an unusual guy.’

-‘… At least give me a fair trial! Expulsion without a disciplinary committee is against equity!’

-‘Huh, look at this bold guy. Who said they wouldn’t open it? Open it, don’t open it. It’s just that the outcome is fixed.’

-‘What kind of trial is going on with the outcome decided!’

I said one thing because it bothered me so much.

-‘Jeong then, you bastard. Let the victim sit.’

-‘Yes… ?’

-‘I don’t know if Louise Christopher, the victim, stands up for the perpetrator. Will I be able to change the outcome?’

“Huh… When I saw a dry branch and told him to pull out a giant tree, I never thought he would actually do it. It’s a miracle, it’s a miracle In this case, should the branch be praised, or should one be cursing the giant tree that was plucked without a backbone?”

“You should curse the person who gave the absurd order to pull out a giant tree after seeing a dry branch.”

“Ugh, raising a daughter is meaningless. It makes no sense.”

I had no intention of participating in this disciplinary committee. It is a crime to become the president of the academy and waste time on things with obvious consequences.

However, the story is different when Ruid Christopher appears. Lately, the one Clifford has been watching with the most interest is Ruid.

So Clifford raised that heavy ass.

“You bastard, what the hell are you thinking?”

“Of course, wouldn’t it be forgiven? Forgiveness is a noble virtue.”

Clifford said, looking at Phenicia who opened the large door of the chancellor’s office.

“You’re sick.”

He walked with his hands behind his back. Phenicia, who was looking at her from the back, grumbled as she followed her as if it was absurd.

“What else are you dissatisfied with? The willingness to forgive is just beautiful.”

“How pretty is a pebble sticking out!”

“Haa, President. It’s not good to hate only one side too much. If you are the president, it should be fair.”

Hearing that, Clifford stopped.

He nodded at Phenicia and said it was absurd.

“Have I not done anything yet?”

“I think I will do it soon! You spend half of your day swearing at Luid students!”

“What? When did I do that!”

‘Earl Clifford, who arrived just this morning. If you mess with me, I’ll expel you and send you back. Look at my son’s face,’ the Duke of Windsor replied.

Phenicia had over 100 things to say about her, but she barely held it back.

“You’re making people evil. I’m fairer than anyone, b*tch!”

She shouted and hurried toward the venue.

**

This was the first time Clifford had seen Ruid in person.

Ruid, called the genius of the century.

The fact that such a person graduated from the Imperial Academy was a great merit in itself.

So, I recruited him with the ridiculous condition of ‘not having to take classes’.

Of course, this decision was Clifford’s ability, but apart from rational judgment, I personally didn’t like it very much.

It was also the fault of not having a direct interview at the time of admission.

Anyway, this was Clifford’s first impression of Ruid.

‘Hey, he’s a guy who’ll ruin the world twice if he’s crooked.’

It was an amount of magical power that even Clifford, the president of the academy and one of the great wizards, could not fathom.

I wouldn’t have thought this far if it ended with just one. A black orb was visible near Ruid’s heart. It was so black that it looked like his heart had been pierced.

Such pitch black was a color that even Clifford had never seen before.

If you collect all the mana in the world and compress it, will that color come out? I don’t know, but one thing is for sure.

‘Genius of the Century? Heh, he’s my student now.’

Right now, it was that I was one of 1001 students. He was the one to be guided, and Clifford had an obligation to properly lead Ruid.

Clifford said, disarming his clairvoyance.

“From now on, we will start a disciplinary committee for cases of using magic. Let the investigator in charge of the case speak.”

Investigator Gilbert, a 3rd year swordsman, stood up with a document.

“The source of responsibility in this case is simple. Catherine Obillian made a fuss with the victim who was eating her food, and when the victim did not react much, she got angry and attacked preemptively with the third tier ‘Ice Pistol’.”

Gilbert turned over the papers with a tired face.

“In this process, the victim coped with the application of Gravity, a much higher magic, but he only used it for self-defense. There was no blame in the process.”

Gilbert put the paper down. He said with a troubled face.

“Dear Judge. Catherine Ovillian said that not only did she intimidate innocent victims; She is very guilty of making a surprise attack on a victim who doesn’t even have her staff. Hereafter, please punish the perpetrator Catherine Obillian with her expulsion and establish justice in the Imperial Academy.”

After speaking, Gilbert sat down.

The chancellor looked at Catherine and said.

“Katherine Ovillian Speak.”

“… ….”

Catherine hung her head and she said nothing.

A cold gaze.

Feelings of pressure and tension.

Feeling hopeless that things will not get better no matter what you say.

Because all those emotions weighed down on her Catherine.

“Catherine Ovillian.”

Clifford called his name one more time.

“Catherine Ovillian.”

Still no answer. Clifford declared, looking straight ahead.

“I will judge that there is no room for excuses. Then, she ends the disciplinary committee by giving Catherine Ovillian her expulsion…… “

It was when Catherine’s eyes were dying.

“I have an objection.”

Ruid got up from his seat.

Clifford looked at Louis with sharp, sleepy eyes.

‘This bastard. It just took I don’t know what you want.’

Inside, he smiled with a sinister smile worthy of a warlock.

‘It won’t turn out the way you want it to.’

“Did you say you had an objection?”

“Yes.”

“It should be a legitimate objection. If it was for a different reason-“

What will Ruid do? It was a look.

“I will punish you for cleaning the president’s office for one month.”

Ruid didn’t blink an eye.

‘That kind of thing, if I wave my hand once anyway…… ‘

“Of course, magic is prohibited.”

Ruid felt threatened for his life.

His sleepy expression became quite serious.

“Speak.”

After Clifford’s words, Ruid spoke calmly.

“The use of magic is prohibited at the academy, but only offensive magic that harms others is severely punished.”

Ruid looked at Gilbert and blinked slowly.

“I know that simple life magic ends with light penalties.”

Gilbert had a reputation for being better at detective than his swordsmanship. He always sees through the essence. He was nicknamed ‘The Truthful Gilbert’.

He’s stumped now. He glared at Louis with his tired eyes. He was the younger brother of his superior, Amelia Windsor.

I’m thinking about whether I should do it right or lose moderately.

“Gilbert, if I become a detective and lose to that bastard, I will not have the letter of recommendation from the imperial family that I promised.”

Gilbert immediately looked at Louis and poured her clearing water.

“The magic used by Catherine Orbillion is ‘Ice Pistol’. In the case of a wizard, it is a power that can cause death if hit without a barrier. Also, the victim is called ‘lazy Ruid’ within the academy. Barriers are an essential part of every morning mage’s routine, but it’s likely an act aimed at exploiting victims who are known for their indolence. Above all, Ice Pistol is definitely offensive magic. It is not life magic.”

“That’s not considering my level.”

Ruid was confident.

“For me, third-tier spell magic is not even close to life magic.”

“…… !”

It was an arrogant statement.

However, no one could dispute that cheeky statement.

“And it is said to be a third-tier system, but it was only a shell, and the reality was poor. The composition of magic and the quality of magic were at the 1st tier level. No one dies from getting hit. Even if I was right, it was a little cool and at the level of a horse.”

“Such nonsense…… !”

Gilbert with a raised tone.

He calmed down and spoke calmly.

“Nothing will change. The fact that Catherine Ovillian cast her spell on a person is in itself important.”

“You don’t get expelled for shooting water droplets at passers-by.”

“So, it’s not a drop of water, it’s a 3rd tier magic!”

Gilbert was frustrated. Rather than being frustrated with Louis, he felt frustrated with himself. There’s obviously some loophole, but I can’t say what.

“Even if I exclude my level, it’s the same. It would have stung a little if I had shot it at a passer-by, or Sir Gilbert.”

Louis lowered her eyes sadly.

“Are you doubting my magical qualities?”

“… ….”

Gilbert shut his mouth. He himself was a swordsman. He couldn’t fall for a knight casting a spell on a wizard.

But Gilbert couldn’t back down.

I couldn’t afford to send my precious recommendation to such an absurd job.

It was a moment to argue.

“And I write the letter of recommendation.”

Gilbert immediately turned around and looked at the president.

“According to the victim’s words, rather than intending to harm her, Catherine Ovillian considered the victim known as a genius and used her own way to express her anger. May she soften the punishment…….”

“Do you think you should be expelled?”

“Cancel. The crime is also very bad… “

Clifford sighed.

“Thank you, bastard.”

“Yes.”

Gilbert sat upright with his arms in his lap.

Clifford looked at Ruid with mysterious eyes.

‘He has a pretty intelligent way of speaking.’

Ruid did not deal with Gilbert only with logic. He used his status as Young master and the title of genius to speak. It was because of that that Gilbert was unable to develop a different objection.

‘hehehe, he’s a fun guy after all. Then how about this?’

But Clifford had no intention of letting Ruid do what he wanted.

“Good. Accept the objection But, you guys tell me. Ruid. What kind of punishment do you think is appropriate for Catherine Ovillian?”

In this case, it doesn’t matter what kind of magic was used. What was important was that it hadn’t been a month since I was warned not to use magic at the entrance ceremony.

So, no matter who saw it, it was necessary to take measures that would lead to the perception that ‘we shouldn’t use magic carelessly’.

I only chose the easiest and quickest way to convey that because I was expelled from school.

But what if Ruid insisted on his innocence?

This is an act of clear disregard for one’s authority, so I’ll make sure to clean up and take classes. He intended to give character education at a distance.

‘No matter how genius you are, you are still a kid. There’s no way everyone can come up with acceptable results.’

It was much more difficult than I thought to give an appropriate punishment according to the weight of the crime.

A genius who has never understood others will never be able to give a reasonable answer.

Clifford was confident of his own victory.

“Tell me. If you argued that expulsion was excessive, wouldn’t there be an alternative? Or are you claiming innocence?”

“I never said expulsion was excessive.”

“What?”

Clifford narrowed his eyes.

“Then why are you here?”

“Because I am weak.”

“… Are you weak?”

“Expulsion is too weak. You offended me with your lousy magic.”

Ha ha, Clifford laughed. I never thought I would come up with an answer like this.

“Tell me with your own mouth. What punishment is stronger than expulsion at the academy?”

‘A lot. A lot.’

It means nobility.

Even if they die soon, their pride is more important to them.

And Ruid said he only prevented expulsion, but he didn’t say he softened the punishment.

He said, glancing at Katherine, whose pupils were shaking greatly.

“After going to the magic feast and bowing down to apologize, I suggest that you work as a waiter for one year. Without pay, of course.”

Clifford doubted his ears.

Then he asked cautiously.

“…… Was the Ovilion family at odds with the Windsor family?”

Meanwhile, Gilbert was stunned.

‘How can you be so cruel!’

‘Magic Feast’ was a restaurant where only commoners worked.

No matter how Ovilion is, he is an aristocrat. Seeing that high-nosed aristocratic lady, not only bowing down and apologizing to commoners, but also making her work in a restaurant.

What’s more, it’s unpaid!

‘I’d rather be expelled… !’

I don’t know anything else, but Gilbert thought that unpaid was too much.
