How To Tame an Academy Dragon

chapter 2



2. This craft shop is now mine.

Looking at it funny, I laughed at it for a long time.

I thought it would be okay to simply place an order, display it, and then sell it. At that point, I already had no business aptitude.

The stationery store in front of the school is doing very well. Kids say it’s money buried in their noses, but that money piles up and accumulates and becomes huge. Was it a mountain from collecting dust?

I thought that no matter how good the academy was, in the end, there would be supplies for class, and at least I wouldn’t eat snacks.

It wasn’t a very wrong prediction, but I had to admit that my preparation was seriously lacking.

It was difficult to place an order in the first place. I never thought it would be this hard to open a business that would trust me and do business with me.

Until the legs were full of eggs (actually not), I was able to finally sign a contract with one after wandering around all the trading houses in the empire.

If it failed, it would be so dark that you wouldn’t know what to do with all the leftover talents of the Incubus.

After finding a business partner, what to sell was also a problem.

As the academy and my stationery started out the same, there was no precedent left.

What classes do you teach, and what products were sold last year? Without any information, the only thing left was to head to the bare ground. I had no choice but to take the loss and ordered various items.

Once we ordered various items, another problem was how to decorate the display stand.

Even well-to-do families lose their motivation to buy if the price is unreasonable.

I thought about how to sell at a reasonable price, and once I set the price, I spent a month making price tags or product tags to be attached to the shelves.

Since I don’t know how to use magic that organizes things with the flick of a finger, I used my body, which automatically moves with the flick of a finger.

Aside from that, gray hair grew on my head while getting business licenses and complicated documents, and I was blacklisted because I harassed the department staff by sounding obvious.

I didn’t have the funds to remodel the store, so I just plastered the wallpaper in moderation to create a neat atmosphere.

After many twists and turns, the stationery store was opened first by adults who discovered the stationery while passing by, rather than by students.

People from high-ranking families who are quite open-minded also stopped by because they wanted to know what the store was doing, and it got word of mouth first among adults rather than children.

There are things that children use to educate themselves.

The quality isn’t very good, but it’s useful when you’re in a hurry.

There are many useful things when studying whether the president is knowledgeable about studying. The same word of mouth spread.

The first thing I did was get to know the academy staff. I found out about the school schedule by talking to the employees who were leaving late in the evening, or treating them to a cup of tea.

I enthusiastically explained to them what kind of items they would need and why I had made the stationery, winning their favor.

I couldn’t help but leave a deep impression on myself pretending to burn with passion for learning unless I was in the real class, and I gradually became more familiar with the academy’s internal affairs.

The first semester was consumed by the academy’s preliminary investigation, and the deficit was severe, but I didn’t care at all.

An increasing number of students stopped by the stationery store little by little, and commuter students who couldn’t eat breakfast because they rushed to school, even from wealthy families, simply bought snacks and went.

During the summer vacation, I calmly analyzed what I had missed and what I needed to improve.

The quality of the goods was also raised little by little to meet the customer’s eye level, and whenever there was a sale, the store was remodeled so that it was not too beggarly.

Still, I thought the shabby appearance was the selling point, so I left it in moderation~ vintage style. Because it is also a memory with an elderly couple who passed away.

We figured out the preparations in advance and put them on display 3 days in advance, and increased the types of junk food (?) That students can easily eat.

The number of customers gradually increased, and students were seduced with a variety of foods tailored to the taste of children by 220%.

Around fall, the academy talked about removing my stationery in connection with the students’ unhealthy eating habits, but it was said to have been canceled due to fierce opposition from the student council.

At the end of autumn, operating profit turned to black for the first time. I was so happy with the joy of self-made people that I bought beef and ate it.

At the time when stable store operations became possible. I noticed students hiding snacks all over their academy uniforms or bags.

“Why do you guys hide that?”

“Ugh. Have you seen it? No, it’s because you’re not allowed to bring it into the academy.”

The stories the students told were really interesting.

There were several types of children who brought in snacks, and one was to secretly pass them to their friends living in the dormitory.

Second, a request from high-ranking students who can’t bear to set foot in a store like this.

It’s a strict house, and the more elite you are, the more you feel like your every move is being watched. For students, stationery snacks are a small deviation.

So I made a secret door behind the stationery.

If you are reluctant to enter through the front door, it was my message to come in secretly and confidently (?) Through the back door. The back alleys were sparsely populated and there were few eyes, so it was easy for high-ranking people to slip in and out.

In addition, we prepared quality junk food that is good for high-ranking people to eat, aiming for high quality, and the result was great.

My stationery was a thorn in the academy side. It has a bad effect on the health of students by constantly selling junk food, but on the other hand, it was a good influence that students had a place to quickly procure items such as preparations and school supplies.

At this point, I wondered why the academy didn’t make a separate stationery, but the academy teacher answered that question.

“I’m working hard to create an image aiming for the best academy in the empire, no, the continent, but let’s say the academy sells stuff to students. You’ll get a lot of swearing, right?”

To put it bluntly, the necessity of a butcher. It felt like that. Opinions about the continued existence of stationery stores from parents and students also played a role.

A year has passed safely and the store is starting to stabilize. Only then did I have time to look around.

Among the numerous students, there was one student who stood out.

It was a student with black hair that was neatly cut short and red eyes burning like fireworks.

Looking at her breasts protruding to some extent, she looked like a woman, but she was wearing the school uniform pants that boys wear, and she felt like she was somewhere apart from other students.

Her sharp jawline and cat-like eyes gave a sense of her personality, and after observing her for a while, she was, as I had predicted, a stoic personality.

Thick curses stuck to his lips, and his school uniform was always muddy, probably because he was always having a fight. She was sometimes torn apart, but the fact that her body was unscathed made her seem like a great fighter.

I didn’t seem to have any friends either. Her students pass her by avoiding her eyes when they run into her. She didn’t have a clear name or a student to exchange her greetings with.

Judging from her aesthetic sense of her incubus, she had no recollection of seeing a woman as beautiful as she was.

Although she is as savage and violent as her back alley thugs, she is nonetheless hard to hide, like her looks.

She was tall and well proportioned. Even if she wore a skirt, she would have been pretty, but wearing pants made her look rather masculine and wild.

If you grow your hair long and wear it decorated, I guarantee you that you will be more beautiful than anyone I have ever seen in my life.

I was able to figure out at least the name. To my question about whether there are problem children in the academy, ten out of ten. Dohara mentioned a student.

The incarnation of a rebel. The final boss of Simbo the Tree Frog.

Even if he was fired from the academy a long time ago, he has nothing to say, but still remains at school, proud of his tough vitality like a cockroach. She had many other names besides that.

I couldn’t help but be interested in being a student in Doha. As a dormitory student, she comes to the front door of the stationery store every night before closing at 8 p.M.

She nodded her head to me and gave me a greeting that didn’t sound like a greeting. She picked up two pieces of choco conch bread that students like, and gave me cash.

Eat one while calculating, pick up the other, jump over the fence, and disappear into the academy. Every time she climbed over her fence, she broke down and the barriers of her academy were distorted and then restored.

I wondered if the barrier was any worse than I thought, so I secretly climbed a ladder and put my hand on her, but I got stuck and had to lie down for a day.

While I was lying down, I took two chocolate conch breads and left the crumbs and cash on the counter, just like how I picked up and entered the store.

After recovering his health and opening the store, I asked the visiting students, but they just said they didn’t know. Rather than really not knowing, my curiosity only grew more and more because I had a strong sense of sheesh.

I couldn’t fix the unavoidable curiosity and obstinacy that continued from my previous life to the present life.

With a mysterious problem child who kept coming into my sight, the stationery entered its second year of business.
