Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

5 – ASMR – The sound of firewood burning

Villain Hersy.

She is the main villain, so everyone hates her. Both the reader and the characters in the novel.

Even in a survey released sometime ago, she was proudly listed as ‘the number 1 most unsightly villain’.

In particular, she received a lot of criticism for being angry at her protagonist for her role in her subject for losing her feathers due to her self-carelessness in this incident.

But Ruid thought differently.

‘As expected, I feel sorry for Hercy, then and now.’

Hersy’s fault for taking her wrath at her heroine for stealing her own feathers without recognizing her.

However, the main character is also a problem. After all, if the owner of the feather appears, shouldn’t she be returned?

However, the main character gulps down Hercy, saying that he is outraged.

After that, as befits her heroine, she realizes her tremendous magical talent and repeats all kinds of activities to make her name known.

A magic wand made from a phoenix feather played a part in that. She only uses herself as a pillow, but the phoenix feather is a powerful item that has a huge advantage when made into a staff.

It must have been crazy from Hercy’s point of view.

Even if her precious phoenix feather, which she received from her father, was taken away by someone else, it is not cut off.

She didn’t even pay attention to some commoners who climbed higher than herself.

She would have thought that if she didn’t repay her somehow, she would be disqualified as Minerva’s successor candidate.

Leaving that aside, the historical background here was the Middle Ages. There are no nobles who drink water from commoners and remain silent.

But is the main character the main character for nothing?

Far from being insulted, on the contrary, only Hersy gets hurt.

After that, the attitude of the students who looked up to them changed. There was no way Hercy, a born aristocrat, could survive.

In the end, Hercy crosses the line and is expelled from the academy, and meets with catastrophe by being expelled from the Minerva family.

A noble lady was completely ruined.

Isn’t it a bit harsh to be ruined for hurting the main character’s mood?

‘So, helping Hersy isn’t bad.’

The background of the decision to move directly can be seen as ‘would he hate Hercy’, but the above things worked a little bigger.

Ruid really hated the act of slandering others with his emotional arm.

**

“What is it, really?”

Hersy walked with a grunt.

“Help me? Ha, what do you think of Minerva?”

Come to think of it, it’s so absurd.

She stopped her steps and looked toward Delrin’s lake.

A magical genius born into a swordsman family.

Louis Christopher.

Since I was a child, this name has been so famous that I know it well.

-I just need to help you.

“Okay. I do not need it. I know you can do anything.”

After giving an answer that he couldn’t answer earlier, he closed his mouth tightly.

Actually-.

-Well, if you do…… Thank you.

Said.

Hersy blushed.

However, it was a fool to refuse to help the genius Ruid himself.

It doesn’t fit Minerva’s family motto, which should always be rational and reasonable.

Is a genius a genius for nothing?

Didn’t the academy president, famous for being ‘fair’, also say that you don’t even have to take classes for Ruid?

Some say that the president received a huge donation from the House of Windsor, and that it is a ploy to hide the flaws of Young master, an idiot who lacks too much even if he lacks.

That’s really, really nonsense.

There is no reason for the Grand Duke of the North to use such tricks, and he is famous for not caring about others going to Windsor.

It has been the My Way family since the beginning.

Above all, the act of staying all day and even sleeping in the ‘Lake of Delrin’. It is not easy even for an active mage. Even if he was alone, 3 hours was the limit for being over there.

Just looking at it, his magical talent is unmistakably genuine.

“Ugh, embarrassing.”

Hersy sighed deeply.

But he didn’t really hate it.

Hercy’s pride is high. If he really didn’t like Louis, he would have rejected it no matter how much he benefited.

“…… I know you are good looking.”

Rather than being handsome, though, he was cute.

Anyway.

It was Hercy’s preference. Ruid.

“… Can we make friends?”

Secretly, Hercy’s heart popped out.

But deep down, I had this thought.

‘If I became close with Ruid, wouldn’t my father approve?’

“I am garbage.”

Hercy moved on with a bitter smile.

**

Ruid visited Delrin’s lake today without fail.

The emerald lake shimmered and welcomed him, but Ruid was not happy.

“Did I sleep too much?”

Even if I cut Phoenix’s pillow, I couldn’t fall asleep.

I think the problem is that I slept for 20 hours yesterday.

“It’s difficult… “

Classes at the academy are until 4:00 PM.

Quite a long time. If you don’t sleep, it will feel like time has stopped.

Ruid felt a sense of crisis.

‘What did you do in your previous life?’

Ruid had insomnia in his previous life.

I have tried countless times to sleep.

Since the terrible insomnia that plagued him after possessing it has disappeared, it should be more effective now.

“Usually…… “

Ironically, YouTube was the most effective.

I was able to fall asleep quickly by playing ASMR or watching space videos.

Of course, it only worked at first, and later it didn’t even work, but I watched it steadily.

He couldn’t sleep at all without watching this.

“But there is no YouTube here.”

No matter how omnipotent magic is, it is impossible to call a space science YouTuber from another world.

“…… Magic?”

Ruid blinked. Come to think of it, how could ASMR be implemented using magic?

“I am a genius.”

Ruid smiled in contemplation.

He decided to run right away.

First, he briefly thought about what ASMR to implement.

The ASMR he mainly listened to was the sound of burning firewood.

In other words, it was a campfire.

“Can I get some wood chips and set them on fire?”

If you apply ‘smell blocking magic’ and ‘barrier’, it seems to be roughly the same.

‘Then I need to find firewood first.’

Ruid stood up with a pillow.

Around the lake was a dense forest.

Finding firewood was like finding sand in the desert.

He walked to the nearest one.

“It’s too big.”

There were no ordinary trees in Delrin’s lake, probably because of the high concentration of mana.

In my previous life, there were only huge things like ‘baobab trees’.

“Let’s cut one piece and put it together.”

Louise reached out for a suitable tree.

He thought for a moment.

How can I cut down a tree?

Magic could only be used by specifying a specific form.

For example, thinking ‘I want to cut down a tree’ does not cut the tree.

‘Cut the tree with an axe.’ Also no. Magic could not create an axe.

“Hmm.”

It was not a difficult problem. The character Ruid Christopher is not a Munchkin for nothing.

However, what he was worried about was that there were too many cases.

“What is like a blade?”

The blade.

Ruid first thought of the wind.

“By compressing the wind…… “

The problem was that Ruid’s magical power was too strong.

If you use it recklessly, only the stumps will remain of the trees in Delrin’s Forest.

“Specify the range.”

After imagining a square thin frame, Ruid put the tree in it.

Then, compressing the wind in the atmosphere, he swung his hand.

-Suddenly!

The tree was neatly cut with a cheerful sound.

It was so neat that at first it looked like it hadn’t been cut at all.

After a while, I saw the cross-section of a tree cut at an angle.

-Koo-goo-goo.

The size of the tree was huge, so it seemed like there would be a big commotion at this rate.

Fortunately, there was magic that could be used without thinking.

It is telekinesis.

Ruid stopped before the tree hit the ground.

– Boom.

Then, in the same way as before, the tree was divided into 10 equal parts.

– Tuduk.

A tree in 10 pieces floated up. All of them were caught with a sore throat.

Actually, this was a very difficult magical implementation. Mental movement works towards ‘a single object’.

However, since the tree was divided into 10 parts, it was as if Ruid was using 10 magics at the same time.

Considering that the average of wizards is usually up to 2, the word genius is hardly a waste.

Ruid threw away most of the 10 pieces of wood, and brought only one piece of wood floating around.

– Kung.

Even that single piece of wood was quite gigantic considering the size of the original tree.

Still, I think I can make a great campfire with this.

– Tuduk.

Ruid cut the trees in an instant and piled them up nicely.

Originally, ASMR that is good to look at is also good to listen to.

Ruid, who had carefully built it up, lightly brushed his hands.

He raised his index finger. An ember formed above the index finger.

“Is this enough?”

Lightly blown sparks with a wrist snap.

– Tick.

But the fire did not ignite. It hit the tree and bounced off.

“… ….”

Ruid, who was a little embarrassed, raised a lot more fire than before and threw it.

– Hurrr.

“Uh, sir.”

This time it was too big. He hastily stretched out his hand and lowered the embers.

“Whew.”

At least, the wooden blocks that had been piled up with great difficulty (?) Almost turned into foam.

“Now I feel better.”

Ruid cast the two spells he had thought of earlier and lay down on a pillow in front of them.

-Tadadak.

The bonfire of conversion was successful.

The ASMR that he had heard on YouTube caught Ruid’s ears.

Moderate sound, neither too loud nor too quiet.

Louis felt drowsy, and she was able to fall asleep in no time.

Today is March 1, 52 in the Lemed calendar.

It was the day before the start of the ‘placement test’, the major gateway to the Imperial Academy.
