The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

King of Dungeons (2)

?During the Krestol Festival outsiders are permitted to enter Aken Island and Haksa.

However there are not many people who want to come to Aken Island located in the southwest corner of the empire to see the bachelor’s festival. Most of the people of the empire are busy making a living so they just enjoy the festival period in their own residences.

In addition this is a time when the entire Cloel Empire falls into the joy of festivals but of course the excitement varies depending on the region.

The countryside like Pulan where Jenica is from is so remote that it doesn’t really get the heat of the festival and Saint Clarisse’s castle town is a place where a solemn atmosphere is maintained all year round so it’s not that noisy.

Still this Sylvania Academy where young people in their prime gather is a place where they hold a grand festival so among the people of the empire near Margrave Zahur those who feel like they can afford it tend to gather there.

Living in Sylvania every day I got used to it and it doesn’t really feel like it but at least in the southern part of the Cloel Empire there is no landmark like this school. If you can’t afford to go to the distant ecliptic in person it’s not a bad idea to enjoy the festive atmosphere at Sylvania Academy.

Of course all of this is only for those who can afford to enjoy the festival.

Therefore most of the visitors are rich people nobles or families who sent students to Sylvania Academy.

“Thank you for visiting Sylvania. Visitor accommodation is located in the Deck Hall so you can leave your luggage there. For detailed information you can get detailed information from Mr. Melik the dormitory manager. If you head to the DEX building outside the teacher building facing the living building there will be an information board.”

“Wow… Thank you.

Orte Palover came down to the dock and accepted his wife Saila who followed him down.

Ranch work requires no rest even for a day. The couple’s daughter Yenika Palover would never have imagined that this couple would have come all the way to Aken Island.

If the loving villagers of Toren Village had not helped the couple maintain their ranch while they were away the couple would not have been able to travel all the way to Aken Island.

Since it was the festival season outsiders were allowed to enter and I also wanted to check the facts about the mind-blowing letters that had been coming to the ranch recently.

If Yenica Palover truly rose to the rank of Baron and became a nobleman as a parent I have no choice but to meet her and confirm it in person.

It’s the perfect time to go to Aken Island… With great determination he ran all the way to Aken Island.

that… Where can I go to Ofilis Hall? that… student… ? “Are you a student?”

“You can call me at your convenience. My name is Siggs Eiffelstein and I am a senior member of the student council. “Currently I am in charge of guiding outside visitors at the dock but if you go around the campus and see the student council members you will be able to get a lot of guidance.”

Ziggs who was standing near the dock and checking various documents turned his head when he saw the Palover couple and pointed toward the inside of the academy.

“You can find all the facilities if you go to the faculty building or the living building… Entry to the Ofilis Hall by outsiders is strictly prohibited. This is because it is a place frequented by VIPs and has a strong exclusive atmosphere. Do you have any business at Ofilis Hall?”

“Umm… My daughter lives there… ”

Jenica Palover did not tell her family that she had been kicked out of Ofilis House and was living in a cabin in the forest. Because she didn’t want to cause unnecessary worry.

The Palover couple who knew that Yenika was still living at the Ofilis Building wanted to head there to meet Yenika.

“Hmm… Currently I am living in the Lorail building due to circumstances but I used to live in the Ofilis building for a long time. “If you tell me your child’s name I will contact Ofilis Hall.”

“Oh oh… It’s called the Yenica Failover… He’s a good kid and he’s famous because he was at the top of his grade several times… I… I was saying… ”

“… “You mean Senior Yenika?”

Ziggs who was scribbling down words paused for a moment.

“Hmm… They’re pretty close. “It’s a coincidence.”

“Oh you know our Yenika?”

yes. You are a good person. “I was involved in many different incidents.”

At that moment Orte’s eyes who were looking at Ziggs began to shine.

Ziggs who looks dependable and neat at first glance seems like the best son-in-law for the two people who have lived in the countryside for a long time.

In the first place they are a couple that needs someone special to work with no matter who it is. As much as she is thirsty for a son-in-law the corners of her eyes go up when she sees a man who is close to Yenika.

Ortega quickly grabbed both of Ziggs’ hands and spoke with a light shining in his eyes.

“Is the student very close with Yenika…? ?!”

“… yes?

“Our Yenika is very kind and okay right?! What was it like to become friends? ?!”

Ziggs looked at Orte with puzzled eyes.

“You mean suddenly…?” ?”

“Why isn’t our Yenika the type of person who gets bullied somewhere?!”

“I am grateful that you are kind to me but I have someone else that I can call my lover. “To begin with I can’t even be seen by Senior Yenika.”

“Is that so… ? Is Yenika in a position to choose a man in this school? !”

“It feels very strange to express it that way but there are definitely a lot of people who look up to senior Yenika. Her personality is good her skills are outstanding and her appearance is as beautiful as Woosin’s so many of her juniors talk about her… ”

Ziggs was thinking about adding something more but he closed his mouth.

Talking more about Yenika’s personal relationships was likely just nonsense. I don’t know how much Jenica talks about her bachelor life in her family.

Judging by the atmosphere it seemed like he was hiding the fact that he had been kicked out of Ofilis Hall so it seemed like Yenika would be in trouble if Ziggs spoke up for no reason.

is it… Our Yenika… ! Hehe… Huhuhuhuhuhu… ”

Looking at Orte’s satisfied expression I decided it would be best to stop at this point. There is no parent who doesn’t like praising her daughter so it’s right to say just enough to make her feel good and leave the rest to Yenika herself.

Ziggs felt vaguely nostalgic as he looked at Ortega and Sayla.

If you know that Yenica is currently living in a wild camp after leaving Ofilis Hall and that she is always in trouble because she cannot give up her commoner nature despite receiving a title and that she is living a life that is almost like living with a grown man. I was afraid of what the reaction would be.

I thought this was a situation where I had to meet Yenika first and tell her but there is no way to know where Yenika is right now and since it is already the festival season a lot of work is behind me.

“I already wanted to ask you if Jenika is doing well at school or what the news is that has been coming in these days… As soon as she comes to school she feels good because she meets Jenica’s acquaintance… !”

“When you say news do you mean that you have recently received the title of baron and fiefdom?”

okay… ! I’ve lived my whole life milking cows but suddenly I’m an old man from an aristocratic family… You have to get used to this. I heard that the master of Duke Rosstaylor’s family used his power and since I’m going in as a vassal I’ll have to meet him and say hello!

that… Is that so… ”

“I don’t know if you’ll like it or not but I slaughtered the highest quality cows at the ranch and packaged them at the most expensive price… ”

“I am a master of the Rosstaylor family but I am not sure if you will like this gift. honey… ”

“I told you there’s no one who doesn’t like food Sayla! Anyway from our perspective he is like a benefactor so we should be as polite as possible! “You gave these lowly commoners titles and territory and allowed them to live happily ever after!”

Orte laughed heartily while pressing Sayla’s shoulder with his muscular body.

“I want to take the time to meet with the master of the Rosstaylor family and I also want to meet Yenika… Student where do you think it would be fastest to go?”

For both go to the cabin camp in the northern forest.

I can’t bear to say that… Ziggs froze breaking into a cold sweat.

Right now… I am… I do not know… Haha.. Hahahaha..”

*The grand opening ceremony held at the Student Plaza has also come to an end.

It was a sight to see the faculty and staff coming out from the academic headquarters and using magic to control the student plaza.

If you include internal students as well as visitors from outside the number is so huge that you can’t even guess it with your own eyes. Considering that everything is under control with less than a hundred people on site the power of magic can only be said to be truly amazing.

When Tanya the student council president came out and gave a speech cheers erupted and when Vice Principal Rachel who replaced Principal Obel Forcius finished her speech fireworks exploded.

The buildings in the Gyosu building which were decorated with various decorations had a very different atmosphere from usual. As it was this time of year people’s stalls lined up along the street in Gyosu-dong where people came to do business and people were excited to see the interior of Sylvania which is not normally open to the public.

On the stages spread out here and there around the university centering on the student plaza there were a number of performances by outside artists and orchestras invited by the university and there were also many preparations for academic presentations organized by students small magic stages and various martial arts competitions and contests.

Looking at the festival notice distributed by the academic department the text was so dense that I wondered if anyone would read it and come visit. There were so many things to enjoy.

However not all places are intoxicated with festival fever.

A prayer meeting presided over by Saint Clarice is scheduled for the Bachelor’s Cathedral section. I wonder if there are any outsiders who would want to come to a place like this and hold a prayer meeting but it seemed like a great honor for the believers to be able to see Saint Clarice in person.

Clarisse seemed to be completely distracted just by holding a prayer meeting with the believers. Being in a position of reverence is of course difficult.

“What are you going to do about Ed..? The duel is the day after tomorrow. Until then are you still managing the camp?”

Among the scattered crowds in the student square Jenica approached with a grin.

Since they were sorted by grade they must have been standing quite close together.

It goes without saying but just because it is a festival day with a high school atmosphere does not mean that the camp will remain in good condition. The problems I face are not being solved and the time I can train myself is not passing slowly.

Yenika also knows this well so she is asking this question implicitly. Just because it was a festival it didn’t seem like people would go out and have fun.

“I’m going to get some rest. “But you still have to do the basic things.”

okay… ? I heard that my juniors were holding an academic presentation at the Spiritual Society so I decided to attend there and then look around the stalls in the afternoon… !”

Yenika hesitantly glanced around then came closer and spoke in a whisper.

“Then would you like to hang out together late in the afternoon…?” ?”

It’s good. Because I also belong to Assistant Professor Claire’s lab. “I have to stop by there sometime.”

It was much more comfortable for me to travel with Jenica than to travel alone so I gladly answered yes.

During the morning I’ll go back to the camp and finish the work I have to do in advance and around noon I’ll stop by the Trix building and meet with Assistant Professor Claire. Then in the late afternoon I’ll go around the street stalls with Yenika and buy something for dinner.

I’m glad. “I was worried because you’ve been so busy these days and Ed seemed more impatient the past few days.”

“You look impatient?”

huh… It’s also like the fact that I’ve been training too hard for a while now… Same with the story about Belbroke that I told you last time… Ed seems to get more and more impatient as time goes by… “So I’m worried.”

I shared all the basics with Yenika but there was still something left to say.

that… This is a story I shared with Ayla at the bonfire before the festival began.

It was inevitable for me to become this impatient ahead of the festival.

“Yenika. “I want to sit next to you for a moment.”

When I suddenly said that Yenika tilted her head and came next to me.

*The schedule scheduled by the imperial family has come to an end and it is time to travel around the country with Emperor Cloel.

This is because it was a custom to tour large facilities throughout the empire during the Crestol Grand Festival. It also implied that the emperor would go out for inspection in person once every four years so it was a time when all agencies directly under the imperial family had to be on high alert.

Princess Selaha was walking down the hallway of the luxurious Rose Palace of the Cloel Imperial Family.

It is time to move slowly. The experience of personally traveling with Emperor Cloel for a long period of time and inspecting the institutions directly under the imperial family is an opportunity to score big points in the competition for imperial power.

Princess Fenia was attending Sylvania so circumstances were not available and Princess Persica asked to remain in the imperial family for some reason.

I couldn’t understand Persica’s intention in letting such a precious opportunity pass away by remaining in the imperial family… Selah Hwangnyeon who was busy with so many things at hand couldn’t bear to pay attention.

As he was walking with his servants across the corridor Persica appeared at the end of the corridor accompanied by his servants.

Perhaps because they were returning from a meal the number of soldiers guarding Persica was smaller than expected.

“Oh my you look very busy. Persica.”

“Selaha has become a lot busier lately.”

Although they appeared to be smiling and exchanging pleasantries with each other the soldiers guarding them swallowed dry saliva.

There really isn’t much time left for the imperial rivalry to end. This is because Emperor Cloel implicitly said that once the festival period ended this sluggish successor competition would end.

Therefore from Selaha’s point of view it was his political fortune to accompany him on this inspection. This was because it was a golden opportunity for him to tour the country together and show his worth as an emperor.

“You said you were going to Sylvania this time right? You might be able to meet Fenia. “Please say hello when you see me.”

of course. “We are sisters who share the same blood so I’m happy to be able to check on their well-being.”

“You’ve become very shameless sister.”

“It’s a necessary skill.”

A strange current flows between the sisters as they smile and talk.

Fenia seemed to be hostile towards Selaha and Persica also did not want to maintain a very friendly relationship with Selaha.

If Fenia distanced itself from Selaha due to differences of opinion Persica simply distanced itself from Selaha because its power was too strong.

This is because he had no intention of getting close to Princess Selaha who is currently known to be closest to the imperial throne.

“This time Fenia… I need to completely ‘clean up’… “They help me in many ways so that I can focus on my studies and not on political matters like this.”

Selaha spoke with a smile. In Persica’s eyes Selaha looked like a lion who had become debauched by her own power.

well. It is unclear whether Fenia will be sorted out so easily. There are so many people nearby… “There are a lot of picky people.”

“You mean Ed Ross Taylor?”

“Oh I see you were thinking about your sister too.”

well… How can we talk about the emperor’s worth if we can’t take control of the slowly declining Ross Taylor family? “I think we need to use this opportunity to really break his nose.”

A family’s prestige is not simply determined by its title.

Especially in places like Sylvania Academy where the virtue of learning is emphasized skills are the top priority.

This is a place where rules are somewhat different from those of the Cloel Imperial House.

“I have to show it to my mom. “It’s amazing how different the people who follow me are.”

“… ”

– ‘Princess Selaha has high expectations for this duel.’

Dyke frowned when he saw the letter sent from the head of the Elphelan family.

– ‘He is like a benefactor who was the first to help the Elphelan family whenever it stumbled. In particular we must never show that we are inferior in skill to the Ross Taylor family who have completely split up in terms of their power structure this time.’

The bachelor’s combat class observation room where the festival atmosphere is in full swing.

Dyke who was leading a group of student council members to check out the festival atmosphere took a deep breath after receiving the letter that the post office had urgently delivered.

When I close my eyes the back of a man comes to mind.

He is the prince of the Rosstaylor family who grew up at an unbelievable rate and quickly became the top student in the 3rd year Magic Department.

From what I have seen while working as an undergraduate student I see that his skills are outstanding and his personality is also excellent. He is a man who has lived a healthy life while remaining faithful to his duties without showing any special outward appearance.

The size of the bowl he has is so grand that it cannot even be compared to Dyke.

– ‘Our Elphelan family also raved about Dyke’s skills. Be sure to win this duel so that all honor can be attributed to the great Princess Selaha. If we can imprint it so clearly at least our family will have peace in the future.’

– ‘A lot depends on you. Dyke. I am sorry for not acknowledging and undervaluing your efforts. However I hope that we will achieve success in this duel where the future of our family depends. As the head of the family I ask you to do so.’

It sounds as if a lot of expectations are being placed on Dyke but if he loses badly he will definitely be held responsible for the failure.

Dyke didn’t help anyone until he got to this point and the way he only praises him after he succeeds as a source of pride for his family is not enough to make people like him even with empty words.

Nevertheless Dyke folded the letter with a calm and serious expression and put it in his pocket.

“Senior Dyke.”

A junior member of the combat club who was following me looked worried.

“If you lose the duel will you be kicked out of the family?”

“At least they will be held accountable. “Because they have to have a justification to avoid it.”

“That kind of family… Tell them to fuck themselves. Better now… ”

“Be careful what you say. “Bellun.”

Dyke warned his junior in a serious voice. It was a place that guaranteed him the bare minimum of shelter and living when he couldn’t do anything about it.

Even though it is a rotten place it is a place that gave half of its name to me. Dyke Elphelan. I lived my whole life with that name.

“Political reasons or family ties are not my consideration in the first place.”

then… ”

“If you are caught in a duel you don’t run away. “That’s it.”

After Princess Selaha comes to Aken Island tomorrow there will be a duel the next day.

Dyke smiled bitterly and blended into the crowd.

*- ‘At first my senior’s words were so absurd that I had my doubts. But after I cooled off and thought about it I had that question. ‘There must be a reason why he went through all this trouble to provoke Tailly.’

The day Ayla Tris came to camp Ayla Tris was wearing a robe and speaking with a stern face.

She was searching through the library as if possessed by something.

Even though the festival period was long over Ayla stayed in the library as if she had no interest and seemed to be possessed by something.

“Would you like me to bring you a cup of coffee?”

no… that… Thank you… ”

Her co-worker Tailley was worried about Ayla who was stuck in the library all day so she came to the lobby once in a while to see her face.

Ayla is not the type of person who would stay stuck in the library during this festive period when all the bachelors are excited.

Despite this Ayla was just browsing through all kinds of old books sweating profusely. As if he doesn’t care what’s going on outside.

“Are you worried about Ayla?”

Elka came and comforted Tailly who was looking at Ayla with worried eyes in the library lobby.

Elka Islan the head librarian is anyway resident in the student library. It had been a few days since she had been watching Ayla who was holed up in the library every day.

yes… ? hmm… yes… I’ve had some trouble in the past but I’ve never seen Ayla wander around looking for something so urgently. I’d be less worried if you at least told me what was going on… ”

“There must be a reason. I think there must be a reason for not telling you. Ayla is a girl who only thinks about you and worries about you Tailley.”

“I am grateful. but… I can’t help but be worried. “Can you tell me a little bit about what book Ayla is looking for?”

Since Elka was in charge of the library she knew that the books Ayla was reading had something in common.

He looked worried for a moment and then secretly whispered to Taily.

“Aspect magic. “Records about Seong Chang-ryong that were sealed a long time ago.”

After hearing those words Tailly’s face also hardened for a moment. It wasn’t that Tailly hadn’t heard anything from Ziggs either.

Seong Chang-ryong Velbroke.

Ziggs Epelstein told Tailley that this was a story that Ed Roth Taylor had told repeatedly to the point of obsession.

“And I’m collecting legends about Great Sage Sylvania. Something… I guess there’s something on my mind… ”

okay… ”

Tailly sat on a chair in the lobby with a serious expression on her face.

Ayla’s expression in the distance was also the same.

Ayla was deep in thought.

What she said to Ed at camp was also something she couldn’t believe.

– ‘As far as I know Great Sage Sylvania who has maintained the seal of the Holy Spear Dragon Velbrok has created the perfect aspect magic to ensure that the seal continues for eternity. It is an eternal law that will not change no matter how much time passes and can suppress Velbroke.’

The look on Ed’s face as they looked at each other across the campfire was still deeply entrenched in Ayla’s memory.

– ‘If the principles of Aspect magic that manipulate time are still in effect the seal will never be easily broken. It definitely wasn’t the type of seal that would become unstable just because you put a little bit of Belbroke’s molar on it.’

Traditions about Great Sage Sylvania still flow down.

It is rumored that he was a flamboyant and lively academic with pure white hair pulled back.

He is an ideal figure for all wizards who love this world admire the history of the continent and have achieved countless magical advancements.

– ‘If there is a person who can unseal Belbroke… ‘It doesn’t make sense unless you’re the person who implemented that seal.’

Ayla also heard countless legends about Sylvania. She was someone I personally admired so much that I collected many stories about her.

Do you understand what you are talking about?

Ed Rothtaylor asked Ayla that day.

Ayla confidently answered Ed’s question.

– ‘If my senior’s prophecy is true… Belbroke’s seal has not weakened over the years.’

– ‘… ‘

– ‘Great Sage Sylvania herself solved it. There’s no other possibility.’

She is a rare great person recorded in history.

Above all she has already died a long time ago.

There is no way he would do such a thing and he is not even in the physical condition to do such a thing.

However Ayla’s expression remained serious as ever.

The next thing that came out of Ayla was… . It was a question accompanied by a subjunctive mood.

– ‘What would you think if I told you that Great Sage Sylvania was still alive? simple… It’s an assumption… ‘

*Yenika’s expression became serious.

He looks like he can’t believe what I said. It was a fact that even Jenika who said she would believe anything I said could not accept it at once.

〈 The Failed Sword Saint of Sylvania 〉 Final act.

Until just before the subjugation of Bellbroke the existence of Great Sage Sylvania remained only a setting.

As for Velbroke’s resurrection only vague descriptions remained as if Velbroke had broken the seal on his own after a long period of time.

In the distant past he made advancements in magic made a name for himself as an academic raised the archmage Glokt Elderbane and founded this huge academy… The one who penetrates the core of all these scenarios and was at the beginning of all stories.

In political affairs the name of a person whose name or face is never revealed remaining only in the background until the end.

If there was someone behind the stage hidden in the dark watching the whole story…

The only person worthy of sitting in that position is ‘Great Sage Sylvania’ the master of aspect magic.

As soon as that fact dawned on me I couldn’t stay still.

If she was really the one who broke Belbroke’s seal…

As long as you find her hiding somewhere in this world and subdue her all planned trials will be completed.

It is still unknown how a person from hundreds of years ago is still alive why a great man who made progress in the world would do such a thing and whether Ayla’s words are true.

But if that’s true… The trigger that can end this whole stage is there.

That possibility was engraved in my mind and did not disappear.

There remains something in this world that I was unable to identify in .

It’s time to dig into it.
