Academy Ankle Reaper

94. Because I learned that way

There is no such thing as a community for students who are admitted with letters of recommendation.

It was natural for them to enter the school with a letter of recommendation, and there was no need to form a community by relating it.

There are often communities that are created by linking close families instead of letters of recommendation.

For example… A meeting of people from the southwestern part of the Empire, or a meeting of ministers working in the capital.

From a large perspective, the community of the five pillars is also an extension of this.

However, students admitted through the ‘exam’ are different.

Those who entered the academy with only their skills and no background had to stick together to survive among the cruel nobles.

-Exam student meeting… It is full of useless guys like crows. I like not asking for help. But… It’s good to keep your feet dangling.

My companion once mentioned a meeting of test takers immediately after entering the school.

On the day of her entrance ceremony, Amy, who was late for the incident at the bridge connecting the academy and the land, stamped her face on everyone and tried to contact them there first.

‘Didn’t I just say it’s full of useless guys?’

– Most of the crows are full of unhelpful guys, but if you gather that many unhelpful guys, there will be a place to use them.

‘A place to use?’

-There are no beings as sensitive to danger as the weak. If you listen to their voice, there are times when you can see the harbinger of a big incident.

Listening to her companion, Amy opened the small notebook she received as evidence of her participation in the ‘Crows’, a group of students entering the exam.

At first glance, it looks like an old black notebook, but it has a great magic attached to it.

It is a magic that when someone writes in this notebook, the same writing is written in all notebooks with this spell.

Even now, the notebook was filled with writings written by someone unknown to me.

There are various contents.

The contents were such as seniors telling juniors what to pay attention to, or gossiping about someone.

The notebook is largely divided into three areas. The first area is ‘chat’, which can be used by anyone as much as desired and is continuously updated in real time;

The second section is ‘Notice’, which can be fixed for up to one month, which can be used once freshmen leave.

The third section was ‘information’, which is a semi-permanently fixed text that can only be written by verified people.

Amy breaks into a cold sweat as she sees the letters scrawled in her hand.

‘Isn’t this… A very expensive magic..?’

It seems to only work inside the academy grounds, but this magic is quite commonly used for contact.

However, it was a different story to keep ‘maintaining’ this in real time instead of writing it once or twice.

I can’t imagine sending a letter once using the magic that’s on it and updating it continuously instead of ending… Even in an empire where magic engineering has developed, most still hand-written letters are the mainstream.

Because nothing was as safe as delivering a sealed letter directly through ‘deliveries’.

I didn’t understand why they threw away a notebook with such magic just because it came in.

-Yes. This is something that students cannot do alone.

‘Then…’

-It’s not just the work of students. There are also support from graduates who have safely graduated from the academy… And there must be a few among the faculty.

‘…That’s why we’re worried about us who entered the exam.. Right?’

-You got it right.

To Amy, who was the first to enter the school, she said that it was a place where she could only live if she had something like this.

Normally test takers get bullied, but Amy rarely had that happen except for a brief moment in the beginning.

Because as soon as she was spotted by Atlas or Reaver, she beat them all up and gave everyone a loud warning.

The fact that I can go to the academy like this right now is all thanks to the two of them.

She thought about it and opened her notebook again for the first time in a long time.

[Magic engineering practice assignment C came out, but it is unreasonable.]

[The professor sometimes gave me a C for no reason. Even if I correct it, I will never listen, so I think I stepped on shit]

[Climbing event＜＜ Why is this happening?? She can’t even leave the academy grounds and only goes to the same place ??]

[The mountaineering party you chose is evil and can…]

[Hey, didn’t you have a transfer student among the freshmen this time?]

[The girls are taking him after class, but it’s scary to see a declaration ceremony…]

In the middle of the many words, there was one article that caught Amy’s attention.

“You took a transfer student…?”

She ran out just in case.

.

.

.

.

.

Really, two girls from the same class, transfer students… Were pushing Casey into the corner of her hallway and putting pressure on her.

Casey’s expression did not change even when she was being pressured by the two of them.

“Do you have any questions for me?”

“I have a question. When I introduced you, I only mentioned your name. What kind of family are you by any chance?”

“There is no family name.”

The attitude of the two girls changed a bit when they said that they had no family.

“Hmm… If you don’t have a family, then where did you get the letter of recommendation?”

“I was helped by my teacher.”

“Sir?”

“Look, am I right? It won’t be a big deal.”

“Oh, that can’t be… Tell me honestly, which family are you an illegitimate child from?”

“I have no parents.”

“You’re well educated. Did you make me say that? If even using your last name wasn’t tolerated, how could a commoner get affection?”

“Maybe it’s not that. I’m really curious, but can you tell me properly? If you say you don’t have parents, you’ll get misunderstood. With your smooth face, where can a lord catch your eye?

Her words are so harsh that her eyes are frowning.

Despite being personally attacked by her, Casey just listened to the words without a change in expression.

I have to go and tell him to stop.

-You don’t have to intervene.

‘Why are you drying it?’

My companion stopped me from moving forward.

I don’t like arguing with recommended students, but Atlas would certainly have helped.

“Hey, tell me. It’s not that you don’t have parents, are you abandoned?”

The personal attacks of the two female students towards Casey, who did not respond much, escalated.

‘Just watch that?’

– It doesn’t mean that.

“Kyaaa!!”

“Ouch!!!”

Screams echoed through the hallway.

When I looked back in surprise, the situation was completely different from before.

One of the two girls fell down clutching her face and the other was clutched in Casey’s hand.

Casey made a small pendulum movement, the long locks of hair in her hands swaying as if they were carrying her shopping cart.

And every time she moved, a weak scream flowed from the female student who grabbed her hair.

It happened very briefly.

“What… Isn’t that too weak? Wasn’t that what you said to fight?”

And Casey, the person who executed it, said calmly with the same expression as before.

Just like before, he had a calm expression.

“My… My face..!! You… Crazy bitch knows who I am…!!”

The schoolgirl, with her blood dripping from her mouth, glared at Casey with her reddened eyes.

Looking under her feet, there were several pieces of her blood-soaked pieces rolling around.

It looked like she had some broken teeth.

She knows who she is because she’s in the same class as her.

It was the bottom line of a family that deserved a letter of recommendation.

She is inferior to Nemea of the Five Pillars or Atlas, but she is the daughter of a well-to-do family.

Generally, it was not a position that commoners could touch carelessly.

“I’m not really curious.”

But Casey didn’t really seem curious about that at all.

I threw away the girl who was holding her hair and grabbed her girl by the shoulder as she was bleeding from her mouth.

“I’m not going to hit you lightly just because I know.”

“Ha.. Don’t do it, you’ll regret it…!! You… You!!”

-Fuck!!

With a cheerful sound, the schoolgirl’s head turned and she fell to the floor helplessly like her doll whose thread had snapped.

Apart from the sound of hitting, there was also the sound of small, hard objects falling in the hallway.

There were several bloody small tooth fragments rolling around.

Casey didn’t even look back at it.

“Fireball!!”

-Two kwang!!

Not even her fist, but a large fireball the size of a watermelon flew towards Casey.

The fierce fireballs were fired from close range, making it difficult to dodge, but Casey avoided the fireballs like a ghost without twisting her body much.

The fireball hit the hallway wall and made a huge explosion sound.

“Whoa?? Who’s using magic in the hallway???”

Anyway, it was noticeable that he used ‘magic’ in the hallway.

Students began to gather when an explosion was heard.

‘So Atlas claims to be careless, but he’s the one who got the hit…?’

-Even if you can’t do it, it’s more than advanced level… It seems like it’s close to the top level.. Who’s going to help whom?

It doesn’t seem like he has the personality to put up with unreasonable things like Atlas.

“Ssangnyeon…!!”

The girl who was caught by her hair continued to fire fireballs.

As if he was quite confident in his combat skills, he fired fireballs of that power several times at high speed, but none of them even touched Casey’s collar.

-Kwakwang!!!

“It’s a slow magic that makes you yawn.”

Casey dodging fireballs like a ghost with bizarre footwork, even at close range, made the onlookers suspect that their eyes were wrong.

She went in front of her female student and gave her a powerful slap.

-Pair!!

“Kyaaah?!”

The body of the female student who was slapped collapsed and she fell to the ground.

I wonder if there are any evil spirits, but I still glared at Casey terribly.

She had the opportunity to hit her again and again, but Casey didn’t hit and just stared down at her schoolgirl.

She seemed to be giving herself time to clean herself up.

“I’ll give you another chance, so shoot.”

Then, when the girl got up again, Casey raised her arms and provoked her.

“Do you think I… Can’t…?”

The female student took out the wand from her arms and gathered her mana.

The heat that made the air hot was condensed in her wand, and she wasn’t preparing the fireball she used to shoot.

– It is magic of more than circle 4. I’m thinking of burning down the hallway

The idea was to burn down the entire hallway so that it wouldn’t be able to escape.

But it wasn’t just the two of them in the hallway, there were still several students.

“Mi.. Aren’t you crazy?? Hey, run!!”

“Aagh!!!”

The students who understood what they were trying to do ran away to other classrooms.

A female student raised her wand in an imminent situation that could explode at any moment.

“Fire…!!”

“Stop both of them..!!”

And I couldn’t hit it.

The girl’s wand was confiscated by someone.

After hearing the news, Andy, the swordsmanship instructor, took the female student’s wand and forcibly canceled her magic.

He looked at the situation and let out a big sigh.

“Come with me, both of you. He’ll send you to the hospital.”

The female student whose molar had been blown out was still lying in the hallway, moaning.

-Didn’t you say that while you were a disciple, you lived with her family? She must have learned well, seeing as her hands move quickly and without hesitation…

‘Anyway… I guess that’s right?’

There was no doubt.
