Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

36 – Every Library Occupation Case (1)

Every library exists by grade level.

As it is a storage warehouse for magic materials, it is divided according to the required course for each grade because a huge amount is preserved.

So, despite the name of the library, the number of magic books was rare.

Most magic books are kept in the Academy’s central library. There are a lot of really important materials there, so the professors are on duty, but-

Every library for each grade level was run purely by students’ autonomy.

The librarian is also a student, and the security guard is also a student.

Since the highest class, the expert, monopolized the main seats in the library, barbarism could have occurred by restricting the entrance of commoners.

Ruid came to the Every Library Building No. 1 For her preliminary investigation. Hersy and the fox have been left behind. It’s because I’m thinking of doing something a little secret.

A tall male student who noticed Ruid hurriedly approached with wide eyes and greeted him.

“Ah, Prince Louis. Nice to meet you. My name is Charon Maximus.”

‘He’s the gatekeeper.’

He was the man who would become the first gateway for the commoners.

Ruid thought of the original novel that made him go for a boss raid. It’s the same student, but it’s funny.

“Nice to meet you. Charon.”

“Looks like this is the first time I’ve been to the library. May I guide you?”

Ruid nodded his head.

“Yes.”

“Of course. Come this way.”

Upon entering, Karon said to a student near her, “Ten minutes please,” And then she walked ahead.

‘… I guess I should be a knight, not a wizard?’

His physique is quite compact. His actions are closer to that of a knight than a magic student.

“You don’t have to be so polite. We are in the same grade.”

“hahahaha, I appreciate your words, but I can’t stop talking in front of a great noble. The Maximus family are barons.”

It was the invisible rule of the academy. Nobles who are not friends use honorific words for each other. Even if they were close, there were times when they did not let go of their words depending on their personalities.

Louis thought that she lived a very troublesome life. But she said it was more comfortable for her, so she didn’t have the heart to force it.

“This is the study. It’s not as good as the central library, but it has all the essential books.”

A huge hall on the first floor.

There is a space in the center where you can sit and read a book, and books are tightly packed around the outer rim.

There was a large desk on the side closest to the entrance. A woman wearing glasses was busy writing something. Charon led them there.

“Please register. Isabella.”

Isabella didn’t look up because she was preoccupied with something. She still didn’t stop writing, she said.

“Ah, yes. What is your name?”

“Louid.”

“Louid… That’s a great name…… “

Isabella’s pen stopped. She opened her wide eyes and looked at Louis.

Charon sighed.

“Do your homework in advance. The library is not a place for you to do your homework.”

“De, the fairy of Delrin… !”

‘I’m glad I didn’t call the lazy Louis.’

There are various titles to call oneself, but among them, when called lazy Ruid, it felt like a named monster.

“Register me.”

“Ah, yes, yes!”

Isabella hurriedly took out her tablet and wrote her Louise’s name on it.

She looked at Ruid with a worried look.

“I wonder what the purpose of use is… ?”

“Secret.”

“Oh, yes. Secret… ….”

Isabella looked at Ruid with a blank face. But Louis was confident.

“It’s a secret, so write it down roughly.”

Charon nodded and strained her eyes. Isabella scrambled and wrote something down.

“Yes… ! You’re here to read and collect herbs! You are so intelligent!”

“Yes.”

Ruid finished her registration without incident and walked to her center. Caron follows, and she asks cautiously.

“Should the guide end here?”

She cared that Louis de said she was a secret. She shook her head, not knowing the geography of this place.

“Guide me to the materials room.”

“Yes, I understand.”

‘What smell is that?’

I can’t describe it exactly, but it smelled like fishy fish, a salty smell unique to the sea.

Ruid’s gaze scanned the surroundings. Some of the students who were looking at the books were pretending not to look this way.

‘Commoner?’

Ruid’s gaze stopped at a certain woman. She was the Hannah who baptized herself with questions the other day.

“The materials room is over there.”

He pointed to a large staircase in the front. Louis nodded her head and walked up.

“Didn’t my class occupy this library?”

“Oh, you see.”

Karon said as if he didn’t like her.

“That’s right. She was in order to restrict the entry of commoners… It’s discrimination against commoners, so it’s obvious that they’ll catch the pod, so we limited the entry requirements to the ‘expert class’. As a result, even though it is a small number, common people can come to the library.”

“… Is that okay?”

“Yes. The order of His Majesty, the first great emperor, was not to discriminate against class in the land of learning, because there was no talk of discrimination based on skill. It’s close, but it’s acceptable.”

Ruid went round the corner of the stairs and said as if passing by.

“Do you hate commoners?”

Karon answered without hesitation.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

It was pure curiosity. Karon shook her head.

“When I first entered the school, I didn’t think much of it. Rather, I tried to faithfully follow the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor… But that mindset changed in less than a week.”

Karon narrowed her eyes as she looked downstairs.

“Do you know what happened to Prince Louis at the beginning of her term? It was a time when commoners could freely enter and leave the library.”

At that time, I was sleeping by the lake in Delrin. It was the same even now.

Ruid shook her head.

“I thought you wouldn’t know. Young master has no interest in the academy at all.”

She reached the material room before she knew it, but Louis stopped her steps and looked at Charon. She wanted to hear more.

‘I didn’t know there was another reason.’

She only knew it from the original novel, but she never directly asked why the commoners were restricted.

“Tell me. What happened?”

“I’m sorry if I jumped to conclusions… Earlier, I saw Young master tying her nose. That commoner’s smell must be annoying.”

Ruid felt a pang inside. She

Nodded slowly.

“Commoners smell strange. The smell is different, but it is indescribable…… It smells very disgusting.”

That was empathy.

Not all commoners smell.

But most commoners stink.

Unlike the nobles, they do not wash.

This is because the act of washing one’s body using a large amount of water is considered very inefficient by the common people.

In some severe cases, there were even commoners who never washed their clothes in their entire lives.

On the other hand, the nobles of this world are very clean. Take a half-body bath once a day.

Unlike the ordinary world, it is a world where magic can be used and water can be produced with the hands of wizards.

Some sensible commoners who come to the academy wash well, but it was impossible to get rid of the smell that has been etched throughout their lives overnight.

“Did you decide to kick me out because of the smell?”

“That’s not true. Isn’t that the common people’s fault? It was forced to live like that. I can borrow the book, so I just need to avoid the seat myself.”

“Then?”

Charon said, frowning as if he was uncomfortable just thinking about it.

“Because of behavior and attitude. They touch the book without hesitation with dirty hands. Sometimes soot gets on the book and the writing is unrecognizable. It’s common to bring snacks from somewhere and eat them and not clean them up, or to borrow books and not return them. When I told them not to do that, they accepted it as discrimination.”

‘It’s serious.’

Commoners do not learn etiquette. Even the academy, which is called the only place of education, meets the minimum admission requirements with the amount of magical power. I know that there are many commoners who are selfish, but…

“Sometimes I opened a book with the third magic written on it, but someone dug out the snot and buried it. I vomited in the bathroom and made a promise. Commoners should be barred from entering.”

Listening to it myself, it was more serious than I thought. Ruid looked at Charon with an expression of disgust. Seeing her expression, Karon laughed.

“A lot of really shocking things happen. She thought it was an honor to work at the Every Library… I didn’t know there would be an unexpected ambush. Thefts happen all too often. It’s to the point where I know why even the seniors oppress the commoners.”

Charon stopped her and gestured.

“This is the material room. They are arranged in order of name, so just write your name on the ledger and take it with you. I’ll just go.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Charon bowed her head and she returned to her position.

Ruid looked around the numerous materials piled up in the square wooden box.

[A~Z]

I walked to the place where the sign was hung.

“It should be about this.”

The materials room was in the form of a complicated maze. It wasn’t made to get lost, but to make the most of the space and stock up on a lot of materials.

She ran into some students who were looking for materials. They bowed and moved quietly.

Ruid went to a place where there were no people as much as possible. Above where she reached was written:

[Nothing here.]

“This is right, right?”

The writing looked suspicious to anyone.

But the signs didn’t lie.

Because the wooden boxes, which had been full until now, were empty.

Ruid stopped at the perfect end. She was not a square cell, but a shelf filled with nameless books.

There were several shabby books tied with string under it.

A space like a warehouse that is not used by anyone.

Louis held out her hand.

She let go of her magic.

Koo Goo Goo- Goo.

There is a sound like a mechanism turning.

Kkeik—.

I could confirm that the bookshelf that had been blocked was opened slightly.

“I found it.”

Ruid entered there with a bright smile on his face.

[There is a secret passage at the end of the Every Library materials room. This is because in the past, the Every Library was used as a laboratory for survival projects to operate magic knights.]

A vague depiction in the original novel.

Louise doesn’t remember everything, but her memories of important episodes definitely remained.

Louise closed the door of her bookshelf.

Darkness came upon her, unable to see even an inch in front of her.

Knock-

I heard the sound of water droplets somewhere. It was the sound heard from the holy relic, the ‘Glass of Magic’.

Of course, Ruid wasn’t interested in that. All he was interested in was – in this space itself.

“Reveal-“

Let the voice containing Ruid’s magic spread.

The space brightened with the sound of Hwareuk.

It was a transparent space on all sides. A mysterious space that seems to be floating in the air.

On both sides, six statues of knights were lined up on the old black floor. Louis looked at them and said.

“I’ll be back in a little while.”

“… ….”

No answer came. They were a little reticent friends.

Louis reached out into the air and took out his exclusive pillow from the space.

After throwing it on the floor, I lay down.

“Oh, this is it.”

This space is a bit special.

It was a space designed by the famous archmage ‘Delrin’ to create a useless secret passage.

A space created by a century-old genius.

It was artistic in itself.

I could see the inside of the library clearly so that I could see the enemies while running away.

In fact, the environment of the first floor of the library was clearly visible under the place where Ruid was lying face down. If you look up, you can see the second floor, and if you look up, you can see the third floor.

It is a space where you can see the entire library at a glance. Ruid looked up and saw someone’s panties and immediately lowered his head.

“…… It’s a surprise.”

Anyway, Louis propped a pillow over his chest and moved his legs back and forth.

This is a place where you can clearly see the upcoming episode – a space that does not harm you at all.

In other words, it was the eye of the typhoon.

Ruid intended to leisurely observe the progress of the episode here.
