I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy

Chapter 56

The students at the Imperial Academy were noisy.

“New rules?”

——

[Introduction of reward and penalty point system]

– Current Imperial Academy students are subject to this without exception.

-Professors can impose points and penalty points on students under their authority.

-Once you reach 50 points, you will receive a letter of recommendation from the place of your choice and full tuition waiver. If you receive more than 50 penalty points, you will be expelled.

The President of the Imperial Academy, Clifford Finens, was appointed.

——

“I’m fully exempt?!”

Academy tuition is expensive.

Even a decent number of nobles would feel a bit of a burden.

If you are a commoner or a noble from a small fiefdom, you will receive a slight discount.

Even including that, it is a considerable amount.

“You uncivilized commoner... Is tuition important? “Recommendation letters are important!”

Be it a wizard, a knight, or anything else, the greatest honor is to work for the imperial family.

As long as you had a record of working for the imperial family, you could easily get a job anywhere.

However, to enter the imperial family, you definitely needed connections. This is because people who cannot be trusted will not be hired no matter how talented they are.

In other words, letters of recommendation are the reason for coming to the academy. Until now, I had received letters of recommendation without a clear standard, but it was as if a clear standard had been established.

Maybe that’s why the students focused on the store rather than focusing on the penalty points.

“If you take a liberal arts class, shop +3? Hmph, who wants to listen to useless things like culture? “Isn’t that funny, Hannah?”

One of the commoner students looked to the side with a sneer.

“...What are you doing?”

“uh? Uh... oh, nothing.”

My friend next to me was already filling out an application for a liberal arts class.

“Are you planning on falling for the nobles’ trickery?!”

“Yeah, but tuition is free...”

“...I only have one too.”

“I knew that would happen and prepared for it.”

“As expected, Hannah, you are a genius.”

On the other hand, there were some people who were not impressed even after seeing the poster.

That was Hersy.

‘I see.’

That was the end of her impressions.

From the marquis level onwards, they were classified as high-ranking nobles, but to those whose sole purpose was to continue the succession, it did not feel like much of an advantage.

I just want to avoid penalty points. Because that’s not honorable.

Hersi glanced at the poster and walked somewhere. It was toward the area where the professors’ offices in the main building were located.

smart.

Hercy quietly knocked on the door.

A flow of magical power was detected beyond the door.

Squeak.

The door opened automatically. Hersi put away his expressionless face and went in with a smile on his face.

“Luid! Oh, should I call you Professor Luid?”

Professor Emeritus Luid.

It was his room. Ruid stared at Hercy from the fur cushion on the floor.

He looked like he had just woken up from sleep.

“Hello, Hercy.”

‘You’re cute today too...!’

Ruid’s eyes are special. This is because it shines brightly even in the dark. This seemed to be a characteristic of Windsor, as did Amelia.

So, if you were in a room with the lights turned off or in a dark place, it looked unrealistic.

Ruid telekinetically pulled back the curtains and sat down. Bright sunlight spread throughout the room, making it brighter.

Because Ruid’s height was so small, he looked like he was being hugged in a chair rather than sitting on it, which was very cute.

Hersi placed the prepared lunch boxes one by one on the table. At that time, Miho, who was riding on Hercy’s shoulder, climbed onto the fur cushion where Ruid had been sleeping until a moment ago.

I rolled my body as if I really liked this place. Ruid frowned.

“hey.”

[Neng?]

Miho tilted her head as if wondering.

“That’s my place. “Because your hair will fly, sleep somewhere else.”

[Heeing...]

Miho sullenly curled her tail against her stomach and lay down on the cold marble next to the cushion.

Hersi smiled and naturally brought up the topic.

“The academy policy changed today. Was it a reward/punishment system? Did you know?”

“huh. “Because I made it.”

Hersi’s hand, which was opening the lid of the lunch box, stopped.

“Yes, yes?”

She was quite embarrassed.

“why? “Do you think it’s not that good?”

Ruid was honestly curious about Hercy’s feelings.

Although I passed easily, the dissatisfaction among students was another problem.

Of course, Hercy couldn’t deny Ruid’s thoughts.

“Lady Hercy, can you tell me where the fork is placed when eating?”

Hersi looked puzzled and stood up.

“...It’s on the right.”

“What should I do when I put down my teacup?”

“You have to put it down as quietly as possible.”

“This is the perfect answer. I will charge Lady Hersey 5 points for her excellent answer-”

“?!”

The students’ expressions changed.

The nobles looked delighted, while the commoners looked rotten. It was natural. It was as if Countess Milliam had now declared that she would blatantly discriminate.

At that time, Hercy answered firmly.

“Thank you for being kind to me, but I will refuse.”

Countess Milliam was a little embarrassed.

‘Isn’t this what you wanted?’

“I just came to see the sights today. Please proceed with the class as you normally would. “I don’t mind.”

The embarrassed Countess Milliam shifted her gaze.

“Hmm. So what’s next... Justin?”

Justin stood up with a stern expression.

“It’s already been two months since you took my class. “Are you washing your body well?”

The nobles snickered and laughed. Asking if he washed his body was like asking if he knew how to walk.

“...I’m trying my best.”

Emma’s eyebrows rose.

“Try your best? “Is it really that difficult to wash yourself?”

“We don’t have enough time and we don’t have the money for such luxuries.”

“Saatchi?”

Emma said with a puzzled face.

“If you think it’s a luxury, why come to take an etiquette class? “You get 3 penalty points.”

“....”

The commoners looked at Emma with cold eyes. The nobles had expressions of shame.

Justin sat down without saying anything.

Catherine said quietly.

“I’m right, right? Justin.”

“....”

Justin’s gaze at Countess Milliam sank coldly.

Phenicia walked quickly towards Ruid, holding the documents in her arms to report.

Ruid’s policy was very successful.

There was no doubt that I needed to spend more time looking at it, but right now it was.

Since Every Library, hate incidents have continued day after day, but yesterday and today there were no such reports.

Phenicia said what Ruid said, ‘Make them focus on the store rather than the penalty points. For example, instead of giving penalty points for not following etiquette classes, they give you points for taking etiquette classes.’

The effect was great. Even though it was the first day since the reward and penalty point system was implemented, it was receiving a very positive response.

‘How so quickly?’

I remembered something Clifford always said. ‘There is nothing more difficult than solving a complex problem simply.’ Ruid accomplished that difficult task.

smart.

Phenicia knocked on the door with a slightly smiling face.

There was no answer. Phenicia recalled what she said yesterday, ‘If you have anything to say, just come in.’

“This is Vice President Phenicia. “I’m going in.”

Phenicia opened the door.

And, as soon as I entered, I was speechless at the sight I saw.

Ruid was sleeping on a small fur cushion on the floor, curled up like a cat.

“....”

We made eye contact with Luid, and there was a bit of silence.

Phenicia smiled awkwardly.

“Um... that’s a familiar nest...”

“?”

“...Prince Ruid said he uses an arctic fox as a familiar... so I placed it there.”

“There is no set purpose for any object.”

“...!”

Phenicia was impressed by Ruid’s broad mindset. And I reflected on myself for being obsessed with prejudice.

...But Luid’s face was quite red.

‘It was somehow small.’

I was very embarrassed.
