I’m Just an Ordinary Clown at the Academy

105 – Disciplinary Committee 4

Before the disciplinary committee meeting.

Sephia, who received a request from Elysia to pass her the camera, was running quickly using the power of the spirits.

No, it’s more appropriate to say she was flying.

Currently, Sephia’s speed was much faster than that of an inspector who enhanced their body with mana.

Certainly, excitement is poison to inspectors or magicians.

That poison clouds their mind and judgment.

Excitement can also be poison or medicine to spirits.

In some cases, the stronger the fluctuations in the emotions of the spirit user, the stronger the spirit becomes.

“What just passed by?”

“Yeah? I didn’t see anything.”

“It wasn’t Sephia, was it?”

Ignoring the voices in her ears, Sephia entered the building.

She had never been to the office where Professor Elysia was, but there was not a hint of hesitation in Sephia’s movements.

“Did you guys know? Over there, there’s a space that Professor Elysia uses as her office.”

‘Is Professor Elysia using the office alone?’

‘Yes, that’s right. If you feel lonely, should I tell the professor that you can stay here with us?’

‘hahahaha, that’s a bit…’

‘Does Professor Elysia even care about what we say in the first place?’

Recalling the previous encounter, Sepia went downstairs, running in the opposite direction of the special class.

Thanks to Loki, the ears of special class students were never quiet, and both the atmosphere and Sepia didn’t mind it.

‘Hmm. Gashin, I heard there’s more than just swordsmanship in the eastern style, like memorization. How about giving it a try?’

‘Frederick, there’s an artifact that activates a shield spell automatically when cursed. If we use this in reverse, it could complement Frederick’s weak close combat, don’t you think?’

Moreover, special class students, taking Loki’s advice as he passed by, could become stronger than before.

As they fought Elysia, the number of times they fainted decreased, and recently, they almost succeeded in attacking.

So, undoubtedly, other special class students did not want Loki to be disciplined…

No.

‘I just don’t want it.’

Honestly, Sepia didn’t care about the thoughts or opinions of other special class students.

I just want to be with Loki a little more.

That was the true feeling.

Having lived thinking only about revenge from the townspeople for a lifetime.

Now that revenge is over, thoughts about what comes after have arisen.

‘After getting revenge, if Loki is by my side, I might be able to enjoy academy life a little more.’

If everyone at the academy wants Loki’s punishment, I will stop it even if I have to do it alone.

-Knock!

Sephia roughly opened the door to the office, either forgetting to knock or deciding that even the time to knock was a waste.

Inside the office was Elysia, who didn’t say anything to Sephia suddenly entering without knocking.

“Professor! Loki, just now, because of me! The disciplinary committee. That guy they dealt with!”

Sephia was unusually rambling.

This showed how disturbed Sephia’s mind was at the moment.

“You seem quite excited.”

“Professor!”

Seeing Elysia spout incomprehensible words, Sephia raised her voice as if she were angry.

‘Loki might be waiting for punishment in a narrow, dark place right now!’

“For now, drink this and calm down.”

Elysia handed Sephia a prepared cup of tea,

Sephia drank the hot tea as if it were cold water, with steam rising from it.

“Haah……”

Sephia didn’t notice because she drank it hastily, but the tea she just drank was not ordinary tea.

It was tea infused with a bit of Elysia’s mana, which would sell for a higher price than most high-grade potions.

It had the effect of a potion, but it also had a calming effect on the mind.

Elysia didn’t hand her the tea for no reason.

“Are you feeling a little calmer now?”

“Yes……”

“Now, take your time and tell me.”

Though there were many things she wanted to say, Sepia spoke only the essentials.

She was worried about how Loki was doing right now.

“And Loki told me to deliver this to the professor.”

“.. A camera, huh.”

Alicia quickly checked the video taken with the camera she received from Sepia.

Before the mist appeared, every situation was captured in the camera.

Alicia realized why Loki asked her to deliver this.

“So, this is how it turned out. Hmmm……”

Alicia poured herself a drink and took a sip.

The video also captured scenes of Loki getting angry for Sepia.

Suddenly, the conversation among the professors during the last midterm exam came to mind.

The conversation about who Loki was involved with.

“Are you and Loki dating?”

“.. What? Why are you asking all of a sudden!”

Sepia’s face turned red in an instant upon hearing Alicia’s words.

“Me and Loki dating… that kind of relationship?! Well, of course, if he asks, I can’t refuse, but… No, no way!”

Sepia, with a flushed face, stammered and shouted, realizing that now was not the time for such a conversation.

Of course, it’s not as if this is the most important story!

For now, the disciplinary committee takes precedence.

“What if someone uses their power to torment Loki after the disciplinary committee?”

I didn’t think that just because Daron is being disciplined, his father or his subordinates would use their power to torment Loki.

But the way Daron’s relatives and other nobles, like the Viscount Adellian, who is pushing for Daron’s punishment, are different.

They will try to torment Loki to eliminate any flaw in Daron.

“Power….”

Elysia murmured softly, recalling the relationship between the Emperor and Loki.

Surely, the Emperor wouldn’t want anyone to pressure Loki with their power.

He had managed to perfectly conceal the fact that he was the notorious Cardinal, and he had exceptional talent even without that.

“I guarantee you, tormenting Loki with power is impossible. So you don’t have to worry about that.”

Elysia didn’t know, but it wasn’t only the Emperor who would protect Loki from power.

The Duke Adellian, the empire’s master of magic, and the Duchess Freya, the master of swordsmanship, were also behind Loki.

Even if Loki were to go to another country and slap a prince for no reason, they couldn’t just kill Loki recklessly.

“…But I’m still worried.”

Even though Elysia reassured her, the uneasiness didn’t disappear.

By now, Loki could be waiting for the disciplinary committee somewhere.

Perhaps he could be with Daron or his subordinates.

I didn’t think anything would happen to Loki, but I was still anxious.

“Nothing will happen, right?”

Roki, who was worried like this, said,

“Senpai~ Give me that.”

“Sure.”

Johanna was lying on her knees, eating snacks.

“Do you really like it that much?”

“Yes, of course. Should I just keep doing this and ignore the disciplinary committee?”

They were talking inside a huge classroom, not in a dark and cold space.

* * *

“Well, everyone made it here. I guess I didn’t waste my life after all.”

I waved my hand to the special class students and looked around.

The place where the disciplinary committee was held looked similar to a courtroom I had seen in dramas.

“I told you to do it properly.”

I heard a nagging voice from beside me.

“But, Sefia. If it’s not now, then when else would I wear such clothes and say those things? Missing this opportunity would make me a first-rate fool!”

Sefia was standing next to me, unlike the other special class students, because she was a witness from the beginning to the end of this incident.

Duran’s subordinates were also there from the beginning, but they, unlike Sefia, were subjects of disciplinary action.

“Quiet down, then let’s begin the disciplinary committee for Roki and Duran Leviathan.”

The man who had been sitting quietly in the judge’s seat until now opened his mouth.

His suit and well-groomed hair were spotless.

Sharp features and even dark circles under his eyes.

The man who was proclaiming “I am fastidious all over my body” was the professor in charge of the disciplinary committee.

As a peculiar point.

He didn’t respond to my joke earlier.

If the professor in front of me was Professor Edra, he would have definitely cleverly responded to my joke.

Another peculiarity is that he is pressuring me using mana.

As evidence, the person next to me, Darun, lowered his head without looking at the eyes of the professor in charge of the disciplinary committee.

“Come to think of it, you were playing around in this sacred place just a moment ago.”

The professor looked straight at me and said, and I didn’t avoid his gaze.

“Well, I haven’t done anything wrong. Since I haven’t done anything wrong, there’s no need to be anxious.”

“Oh.”

The pressure directed towards me increased, but I didn’t mind.

I’ve encountered, no, felt the perfect superior compatibility of this before.

The Emperor used a trait on me. Domination.

Compared to that, this was nothing.

Could I even fall asleep at this level?

“I hope your self-confident expression doesn’t change until the end.”

“Can you see my expression even though I’m wearing a mask?”

He said, poking the mask he was wearing.

“What’s the matter?”

Sephia, who was next to me, whispered to me in a low voice.

I have reasons for doing it this way.

I wiped the blood off my index finger and shook it from side to side.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Seffia, you should confidently approach places like this, even if Seffia doesn’t know.”

“Why provoke the professor with that confidence?”

Seffia slapped my back with her palm.

Then she whispered softly again.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“There’s only one thing I’m scared of right now.”

I’m not scared of that professor.

Not the Elysia professor who told me to stop causing trouble a while ago.

Not Da-run, who’s glaring at me from the side.

Even if I get disciplined for making a mistake, it wouldn’t be too scary.

‘What I’m most scared of right now…’

It’s Johanna, who’s chillingly staring at me while I’m whispering with Seffia.
