chapter 35
Episode 35 – Repairman Enters the Academy (3)
Shannon went up to the upper floor of the dormitory and led me to the room at the very edge.
When she took out something that looked like a bracelet from her arms and placed it on her doorknob, the sound of her lock being unlocked was heard and the door opened automatically.
“Now, this is the dormitory room where Pathos will be staying from now on.”
“Hmm.”
Shannon entered through her automatically opened door, and as I followed her in, a view of her completely ordinary-looking room emerged.
An old desk and an old chair attached to the wall. And a slightly worn-out bed placed behind the desk and chair.
And a closet with one door broken and on the verge of falling. The door was half torn off, so the inside of the bathroom and toilet were clearly visible.
In short, it was a shabby room that could not be considered a dormitory where nobles lived.
“Ahahahaha…….”
“The room is a bit artistic.”
“Well, actually, there’s a story involved here… ….”
Shannon smiled sheepishly and began her description of the room.
“Actually, this room was given to the son of an aristocratic family who, among the students who entered last year, had the most filthy personality and bad behavior. So, I arranged some pretty decent furniture, but the student made a fuss, demanding that we provide more luxurious furniture.”
Hmm, maybe because I listened to the motherf*cker’s demands, the maniac became even more arrogant and made excessive demands?
“And that was just the beginning. Do they assault employees, cause trouble among students, or do they go to places where common students are and act out their actions? ….”
“Is such behavior acceptable because one is noble?”
“No way. Most nobles do not want to create conflict by clashing with commoners. “The idiot who owned this room was just a little strange.”
“What happened to that guy?”
I asked Shannon what happened to the damn nobleman who owned this room.
“Are you that idiot? He was a guy who lived for his own good taste, so he was someone who was always a no-nonsense person. However, she happened to hit the prime minister’s granddaughter, and the prime minister sent an ultimatum to the family of the idiot. “Will the family take responsibility for the sins committed by the bastard, or will he execute the bastard?”
I felt like I knew the result without having to hear it.
Since the granddaughter of the prime minister, the second in command of the empire, was stabbed with a knife, the manga’s family must have abandoned the manga in order to survive.
“Well, I think you know the conclusion, Pathos. Because she stabbed the granddaughter of the prime minister, all the connections she had built up were cut off, and in addition, she was caught tampering with drugs prohibited by imperial law, so she was sentenced to death.”
In the end, the owner of this room was executed and passed away.
Hearing the explanation that he had touched drugs, I think that the mental state of the owner of this room may not have been normal.
Then, there is a high possibility that he just used the room like this because he had a mental problem.
Or maybe he had been using drugs since he entered school.
Well, he is already dead and no longer in this world, so everything is just speculation.
“But why is the furniture in the room still neglected?”
“Oh, this? These will all be replaced with new ones within today. It is reputed to be of quite good quality even within the empire…….”
I could hear Shannon saying something, but I had no intention of paying attention to her explanation right now.
Why? Of course, I was planning on completely repairing this old, worn-out furniture.
Honestly, I also want to use new furniture instead of old furniture.
But, it’s not like I don’t have the ability to fix this, so why should I wait for new furniture to arrive?
‘I should fix the furniture and do other things while waiting for that.’
I decided to fix the furniture, so I called Shannon.
“Secretary Shannon.”
“…… So our academy… yes?”
“Is there a hammer in the academy? Or, can you tell me where I can get it?”
I asked Shannon where I could get a hammer within her academy.
“You can find the hammer in the user rest area located on each floor, right? Oh, really?”
I nodded to Shannon to let her know that her guess was correct.
“Then would you mind waiting a moment? “I’ll go and get the hammer.”
“It must be a hammer with an iron head.”
I gave precautions to Shannon as she went to find the hammer.
And after a while.
“Ha, ha. “Is this right?”
Shannon handed me a sledgehammer of appropriate size with a metal head.
However, judging by the fact that he was out of breath, it seemed like he had run a long way.
“I’m just taking a breather for now.”
The first thing I did was fix the chair using the sledgehammer given to me by Shannon.
This time, instead of hitting down, I swung the hammer three times with the feeling of hitting the president’s head.
Of course, the old, broken chair was engulfed in a faint glow and quickly became a new chair.
“Ah, thank you.”
Shannon slumped down in the chair I had fixed. But I didn’t hear any rustling sound, just slurped! From what I heard, it seemed like the chair was soft.
With this momentum, I swung the hammer three times at the desk, closet, bed, and bathroom/toilet door.
“Really… “I’ve seen it with my own eyes, but it’s truly an unbelievably amazing ability.”
Shannon was quite surprised to see the furniture taking on a new appearance, engulfed in a halo of light every time I swung the hammer.
Encouraged by Shannon’s surprise, I tapped the dormitory floor with a hammer to see if this would work.
Then, precisely the floor of the dormitory room where I was to stay was engulfed in light and turned into a smooth wooden floor.
Before, it was a wooden floor that felt like you would be pricked by thorns if you walked on it.
“… “Could you please fix the furniture in my room?”
“Yes?”
“No. Nothing.”
I thought Shannon asked me to do something, but she couldn’t hear me so I asked her again and she said it was nothing.
Well, she said it wasn’t her, so there’s nothing wrong with it, right?
I fixed the floor, and then I hammered the ceiling, lights, walls, and various fixtures in the toilet and bathroom.
However, the difference from before is that when I hit the hammer now, I hope that I can be a little more comfortable.
As I continued to work, my hammer hit every object in my dorm room three times, and the result was now unfolding before my eyes.
“…… “There is probably no student in our academy who lives in a better room than Pathos.”
“Hmm, maybe I went a little too far?”
This room was full of broken and old furniture, but thanks to my powers, everything in the room became new.
There was one more thing I didn’t expect, and that was…….
“The chairs are much softer than they used to be, and the bed is also softer. “Is it really better than being in my room?”
According to Shannon’s impressions, the furniture fixed with my skills was much softer and better than the original furniture.
“Is that so?”
“Oh, don’t even talk. “Is this really good?”
Shannon seemed to really like the chair I fixed.
Will you fix Shannon’s chair later when I have time?
The more allies I make, the better it will be for me.
“Would you like to fix Secretary Shannon’s chair later?”
“Really? Are you really fixing it?”
“Yes, whatever. “Not right now, but later when I have time.”
“That’s right! Please fix it! “No man can say two things with his mouth!”
Shannon was very happy when I told her I would fix her chair.
What is it? Is this something we should be so happy about?
I didn’t understand Shannon’s reaction, but since I didn’t really need to know, I decided to just ignore it.
Anyway, the room at the edge of the 7th floor of the nobles-only dormitory became my room.
I will be staying here from now on and taking classes at Glesius Academy.
“First, take this bracelet. It serves as both a room key and a student ID card. “It’s a kind of ID card.”
Shannon took off the bracelet that opened the door and handed it to me.
Then, something like an Internet window appeared in front of me.
“Huh? “What is this?”
“Glaceus Academy has a large number of students, so we applied a new technology incorporating magical engineering for efficient student management. “That is the ‘student management window’ that Pathos can see right now.”
Student management window. Wouldn’t the status window look like something out of a novel set in a game?
However, unlike the status window, it only showed what grade I was in and what class I had to take.
Oh, in addition, there was a function that allowed you to send and receive messages with someone.
“In addition, it also contains a map of the academy and its surroundings, the location of various facilities, and information about the facilities within the academy that can be used as a student of the academy, so please be familiar with everything you need, if not everything.”
After finishing her explanation, Shannon closed the door and disappeared before my eyes.
I lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
Now, life at the academy really begins.
Will I be able to graduate from the academy safely?
I am worried and scared, but the thought of going to college one more time surprisingly makes me feel at ease.
Yes. Well, I didn’t enlist in the military, I just came to a place similar to school, so I guess I can say I’m living college life once again.
“Hmm?”
―A message has arrived from the president.
As I was lying on the bed and rolling around, a message appeared before my eyes saying that a message from the president had arrived.
