Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

29 – Lark’s Orb(1)

-Oh, five million gold! Alas, ten million gold! Who is that gentleman? Will he become an emperor?!

The emperor is right.

Ruid couldn’t bear to open his eyes any longer, so he covered his eyes.

‘Really, what are you doing?’

Apart from Irene, I couldn’t understand what the emperor was doing there.

The auction caught fire.

-11 Million gold!

Most of the bidders gave up when the 10 million gold passed.

That included Hercy. She was drooping with her disappointed face.

– This, this 10 million gold! I’m going to hit the highest price ever!

The corners of Ruid’s mouth trembled.

Those two were attached by seconds. When Irene pressed it, the emperor pressed it right away.

Let’s say it’s the emperor. The problem was Irene.

Irene’s money was Windsor money.

In other words, Louis de her own money!

‘That idiot… !’

Of course, she was too excited to spend 100,000 gold on an arctic fox. Even though she was originally supposed to be able to buy it for a thousand gold.

But arctic foxes are cute.

Does it make sense for Windsor to pay 20 million gold for her own briefing video and nowhere else?

It was enough money even a baron could buy one. Louis couldn’t stand it. She glared at Irene as she thought of look this way, look this way.

Fortunately, our eyes met. Louis desperately shook her head, meaning that she should stop.

-Two thousand hundred… Four, thirty million gold! Wait a minute. At this point, I’m going to go check the safe.

After Irene bid 30 million gold, she slammed her slap at Louis. She even smiled as if to say not to worry.

“Hey Mr. Lee… !”

Ruid almost spat out curse words. Hersi beside her was also surprised.

“Lou, Ruid?”

It has to dry.”

In Louis’ mind, Irene was already a gambler who was addicted to gambling and ruined her family.

Ruid made a big decision and raised her body. She looked around. When she found the president eager to clap the seals, he headed for it.

“President.”

“Uhahahaha, with this you can build a new training ground…… Huh? Aren’t you a bastard? Were you still there?”

Clifford looked at Ruid with a big smile.

“Heh heh, you bastard. Did you get greedy when you saw the amount?”

Ruid was not greedy for money. Even the amount in his sub-space right now is 100 million gold.

This is because the subspace was connected to the safe in Windsor Street so that you could use it as much as you like.

But, half of it seems to be flying away now.

“…… That’s enough. President, please stop.”

“Heh heh, that’s not okay. Isn’t the heat of the auction house a situation that bidders don’t want?”

I didn’t think that this money ghost president would give up easily.

Ruid bit her lip and said.

“I’ll grant you a wish instead.”

“Wish?”

“You wanted something from me.”

Clifford chuckled.

“Did you know?”

“Yes.”

What the president wanted was a full disclosure of the theories presented at the briefing session.

Actually, the president suggested it first in order to receive and eat the video crystal ball at an expensive price.

With a very regretful look in his eyes, he asked, ‘Are you really going to freeze the theory of the briefing session?’

“Heh heh.”

Clifford touched his chin. He seemed to think for a moment, then he nodded his head coldly.

“It would be meaningless for a bastard to show off his pride in front of you. Good night. Actually, that was what I wanted more than tens of millions of gold. By the way.”

Clifford stared sternly at the two men in the bidding competition.

“If you mediate, do you think they will accept it?”

“Both, please.”

“What?”

“…… Do you have an extra crystal ball? Instead, you get the balance from two people. You probably won’t lose money. It’s overheated.”

Clifford hated Ruid for clearing things up neatly.

Even though it’s the president and the students, it seems like they’re being dragged around, so they don’t look like young people.

But nothing was better for the academy than that method.

In terms of money, 30 million gold would be the highest price ever. Even if you say you’ll solve it later, it won’t go up there.

There is also an honor that can be gained academically by posting Ruid’s magic theory in the academy.

Clifford didn’t like it, but he had to nod his head.

“Let’s do that.”

He stood up with his hands behind his back, called the waiting attendant, and told them what to say.

The attendant who heard the story quickly conveyed the contents. When the auctioneer heard about it, he exclaimed.

-The auctioneer’s suggestion is that both of you have won the bid for 30 million gold. With this, we will close this round of Mediavalley. We would appreciate it if the customer who won the bid prepares the price and comes to the window.

**

The window of Mediavalli.

Auctioneer Carlona and two successful bidders stood there, where their identity was thoroughly guaranteed.

“Originally, His Excellency’s order was, ‘Don’t pass the crystal ball containing Ruid’s image into anyone’s hand…’ ‘ But.”

After Irene signed her endorsement papers, Carlo handed them to me. Carlo I trembled and politely bowed her back.

“Since Ruid seems to have intervened, I will step back.”

The emperor held the crystal ball up to the sunlight and said.

“I was thinking about how to punish the arrogant servant who tries to defeat the emperor with money, but when I see her dear nephew, I just move on.”

Irene answered with a slight bow of her head.

“Nephew… I’m sorry, but my father is not from the royal family.”

“In the past, Windsor has had a relationship with the imperial family. Wouldn’t it be different from her nephew? Where did your red eyes come from?”

“But he is not a nephew.”

Actually, the two of them had been fighting a war of nerves since before.

The emperor wore a relaxed smile.

“Shall I call you son-in-law then? I’m still trying to marry Jim’s daughter-“

“As the next head of household, I will tell you in advance. The engagement is rejected.”

“Oops, I need to move on quickly before you become the head of household.”

Irene’s eyebrows twitched.

She didn’t even blink an eye no matter what I said until now, and Ruid worked well. The emperor felt a cool feeling. She walked out of her window with her hands behind her back.

I had been thinking of going to see Ruid for the first time in a while.

Not wanting to fall behind, Irene terrifyingly followed the emperor.

**

The way to the window to receive the winning Lark’s Orb and Arctic Fox.

Ruid met the emperor and Irene.

Hercy saw Irene and hid behind Ruid. Of course her louid was smaller and she wasn’t hiding it properly.

“Arctic fox, why didn’t you send me a letter if you wanted it?”

Irene stepped forward and spoke to her first.

“I had no intention of raising it.”

If Ruid wanted, he could get as many arctic foxes here as he could.

The reason I didn’t do that was because I had only recently missed the North.

She doesn’t know when she has something precious. Is that valuable? As soon as Louis saw the arctic fox, he decided to raise her.

“Really? You looked pretty happy. If you miss the North, right now…… “

“Louid. It’s been a while.”

The emperor cut her off and crouched down in front of Louis.

‘…… Are you free?’

Ruid thought so disrespectfully.

“Shouldn’t you have stopped by once when you came to Jedo?”

“It’s only been a month since I came to Jedo.”

The emperor looked disappointed.

“I waited a long time in one month.”

“…… You came together in the first place.”

‘Who is this man?’

Hersy was bewildered. She was unable to recognize the Emperor under a powerful deterrence spell.

However, since she seemed familiar with Louis, it was possible to guess that her status was quite high. Hersy said hello.

“Hello. I am Hercy Minerva. I am friends with Louis.”

“Oh, isn’t he Minerva’s successor?”

The emperor said mildly.

“Let’s continue to do well as ‘friends’.”

Oddly enough, the word friend was accented.

The Emperor stood up.

“I want to share more distribution, but it came out in a hurry, so I don’t have time.”

“Goodbye.”

Irene immediately lowered her head. Hersey was a little surprised. Was there anyone in the Empire who would make the heir of the House of Windsor bow her head?

‘Could it be the emperor?’

What am I thinking now.

Hersy shook her head swiftly.

“You go too.”

Irene didn’t answer and she only smiled.

“I have something to talk about. It’s about Windsor.”

The emperor said with his hands behind his back. Irene didn’t like it, but she couldn’t refuse because it was her family’s business.

She spoke to Louis in a low voice instead.

“Wait at the mansion with Amelia.”

“Yes.”

Irene followed the emperor, unbuttoning her coat.

‘It’s cool… ‘

Hercy said Irene looked better than any knight he had ever seen. A neat appearance, behavior, tone, everything. A little scary though.

While she was staring at Irene’s back for a while, stunned, she looked back and saw Louis walking away.

Hercy ran a bit and caught up with Ruid and then asked.

“Who is that?”

“Secret.”

“Yes… “

Hersy pursed her lips.

**

After safely winning the bid, Ruid returned to the academy.

It was because Hercy had classes left and decided to wait for them. There was that kind of loyalty.

Above all.

“Kang, kang!”

I wanted to play with the fox.

‘That arctic fox I saw at home is right.’

Ruid looked at Delrin’s wads of cotton, which ran like they were at home, with delightful eyes.

It seemed like it was healing just by looking at it. Louis crouched down and spread her arms.

“Come here.”

Did he even recognize the owner?

When the arctic fox found Ruid, he ran at full speed and hugged him. Ruid naturally lay down on the grass.

“Kaeng!”

The fox licked Ruid’s face. Louis laughed and hugged the fox.

I stroked her hair, and the touch purred as if she liked it.

Ruid grabbed the fox by the armpit and lifted it up.

“As expected, foxes are love.”

Cute black eyes and small nimble ears. Most of all, it felt good just to touch this fluffy and soft fur.

“What should I name it?”

Ruid was seriously worried.

“Hayangi?”

“Kang… ….”

“Albino?”

“Kang!”

The fox doesn’t seem to like it very much. Louise realized that she had no talent for naming, so she decided to consult with Hercy.

First of all, I need to play with the fox. Ruid put the fox down beside her head and pulled out her wand and pointed it at her sky.

“After all, an arctic fox must run on his snow.”

Thanks to the temperature control magic, it didn’t really matter, but since it’s an arctic fox, I’d be happier with snow.

Blue light stretched from Ruid’s staff and went to the sky.

It is not an extraordinary magic that changes the weather. It was a magic that simply made water fall from the sky and then froze it.

The change happened right away. Small ice crystals fell on Ruid’s skin. The fox licked it. White snow began to fall on Delrin’s lake.

“Where is it?”

Louise rose from her seat. She stretched out her hand in the air. She was just taking out something, throwing it, and playing.

“… This is a bit.”

What was in her hand was a mana heart. It looks like a red gem crystal, and legend has it that it belongs to a dragon.

Roughly thrown into the air. The subspace swallowed the mana heart. Louis put her arm deeper in and pulled out something else.

“Huh?”

What came out this time was Lark’s marble. It was an ominous item, so I tried to put it in. However.

“Kaeng, Kang!”

“… Do you like this?”

The fox was restless wagging his tail. Seemed interested.

“Um.”

Ruid lifted his orb and took another closer look.

… I didn’t feel anything. Really, not at all.

“Are you okay?”

Even if something happened, I was confident in solving it. Even in the original work, ‘lazy Ruid’ easily subdued Lark.

Louise tossed her marble without much care.

“Kang!”

The fox ran away and came to Louis with his marble in his mouth. Ruid’s expression brightened.

“Good job, good job.”

I stroked his hair once. The fox kindly spat out his marble again. It wrinkled his nose and wagged his tail as if to be thrown back.

Ruid threw as hard as he could.

But then—.

Ugh!

“… ?”

Lark’s orb stopped moving in the air.

It resonated with a purple light.

Ruid stared at his orb for a long time in amazement.

“… It was so peaceful.”

Soon, the beads seemed to shine strongly, and then something like fog came out.

[Ha ha! I’ve been waiting for this moment – foolish human!]

“… ….”

Ruid’s eyebrows gradually narrowed.

Soon, the expression changed to face the waste.

He reached out his hand straight into the air. The ice crystals falling from the sky gathered in my hand in an instant and formed the shape of a spear.

[Yes, that’s quite right. Ha, but I think that magic warfare is meaningful to Rach-sama…… ]

“Go back to the ground.”

Ruid extended his spear without mercy.
