I Became an Adulterous Character in the Academy

chapter 130



A flower that blooms in frustration (3)

A wooden cabin-like interior, a cold steel frame structure, and yellowish string lights illuminate the interior.

A utility room made by renovating a warehouse in the backyard.

In that quiet place, the butler is typing on a typewriter. It was to write the announcement that Leonard had instructed.

Tadak- Tadadak-

The iron of a typewriter used to press paper.

Ding- Pages wrapped with clear chimes.

[ Adonisga Winter Magic Camp ]

Target: Official wizards who have completed the royal academy.

Period: 11/17~ 11/24

Gathering Point: Northern Continent, Erythia.

Recruitment number: first-come-first-served basis.

Adonis, one of the 8 great families on the continent, conducts a winter magic camp for wizards. The main theme is training, and how to hunt monsters, how to survive in the cold season, and mock training in preparation for missions to support the Empire. Useful in practice…

Tadak- Tadadak-

An announcement made based on the contents delivered in advance.

Although he followed the instructions without saying anything, there was a curious corner somewhere. In the first place, I did not understand the target of recruitment.

Leonard is a defense mage.

Usually, magic camps held by families only recruit wizards of the same class. It is to pass on training methods and know-how in the main field, and to discover hidden talents.

However, this winter magic camp recruits all wizards regardless of their affiliates.

The number of people is also not limited.

Besides, the main theme is how to hunt monsters and how to survive in the cold.

Mock training in preparation for an imperial support mission?

It may be useful for a small number of private knights, but for most ordinary wizards, even a rat’s tail won’t help.

From their point of view, they were high school students who would not participate even if they were given money.

Leonard too.

Some crazy normal wizard supports this.

Tadak- Tadadak-

A draft of a notice that has been completed before I know it.

The butler went to Leonard’s study to receive the final inspection.

Worrying about things I shouldn’t have done.

“I wonder if there are applicants…”

***

「Red flames」 and 「Sword arrows」.

A character trait that attracts the opposite sex in everything.

The red thread of fate that creates bonds with all women in the world.

The MT student council booth was crowded with female students, the number of applicants for the safe return service increased significantly, and the number of applicants for festival safety agents overflowed.

All of them were the aftermath of the “Red Flames” and “Sword Arrows”.

As such, these two characteristics possess the power to carry reason like a cloud.

I, who had overlooked that ability for so long, realized it all over again.

How scary it is to be a sajupalja.

“…are these all applications?”

“no. There are more over there.”

It’s the second day since the announcement was sent to the empire.

The number of applicants reached 13,000.

In other words, 13,000 applications poured into the mansion.

The enormous amount that goes beyond common sense could not be handled with only the servants, and in the end, they had to hire a separate workforce.

In addition, a control tower was built in the basement to ensure reliable work.

In the middle of the basement, applications were piled up like a ballot counting booth, and a wide desk and a blackboard were placed in the corner, and about 80 people sorted applications by field and career.

Carios said while looking around the scene in perfect order.

“Awesome. This should be enough to stop the Demonic Beast from descending south.”

“There are not enough people. It’s a problem because it’s too much.”

I smiled bitterly.

The Northern Guardian Mission, which was led without any support.

As expected, enough people were recruited, but several difficulties still remained.

It was necessary to prepare accommodations in the north to accommodate the wizards, recruit personnel to support their meals and livelihoods, find out where to supply daily necessities and food materials accordingly, and plan camp arrangements and counter-beast countermeasures… ·

There was a mountain of work to do. I just couldn’t handle it on my own.

So I divided the work.

Carios was entrusted with recruiting people to help with food and living.

“Did you see what I said?”

“Yes. I posted an announcement in the newspaper as well as my attendants. So far, we have only recruited 400 people… but we will be able to recruit enough within the period.”

Karios scratched his head as if he had no face.

400 people was not a small number, but considering that the total number of recruits was 15,000, it was not a sufficient number. At least 1,000 were needed.

I nodded slightly.

“It must be so.”

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at Yerina.

“How has Yerina been?

Yerina, who was in charge of supplying household goods and food materials.

On the day she posted the announcement, she first applied for the magic camp. It was the best news of all for me.

Although her magical abilities weren’t that great, it’s because Yerina has agents from the Ministry of Magic.

Agents monitoring Yerina 24 hours a day.

Of course, the agents will also participate in the camp, and you will witness the demonic descent in real time.

Then, immediately, using the mobile crystal ball, I will request the Ministry of Magic for assistance.

Jake and Colton.

While naturally subsuming the two elite agents, he could immediately inform the empire of the fact that he was a demon.

Eat pheasants and eat eggs.

It was the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

“Of course I am doing well.”

Yerina gave a wink. Fufu- He snorted and proudly handed over the file.

“We found a business for household goods, and we are discussing food materials. There is some strife over the price, but this will be negotiated within today.”

I looked at the materials listed in the file folder.

Towels, toothbrushes, facial products, blankets, etc. The transaction date and actual price of essential items, the number of deliveries and the arrival schedule were recorded in detail. It was unexpected meticulous. There was a reflexive, hearty laugh.

“Ohhh… you did a good job.”

“sure. How hard you worked.”

Yerina’s shoulders went up as if they were piercing the sky. Praise makes even whales dance, and he seemed quite proud.

After giving Yerina a thumbs up, she pointed to the conference desk.

“Let’s sit down. Karios, you too.”

Karios and Yerina took their seats side by side.

I sat down next to him and opened the map I took out of my pocket. It was a ‘northern camp blueprint and layout’ drawn with the talent characteristic ‘aesthetic sense’.

“Wow······”

“Unbelievable······”

The mouths of Yerina and Karios opened at the same time. He stared at the map with wide eyes, then moved his gaze to me. Yerina asked.

“Did you draw it yourself?”

“you’re right. But that’s not the point-“

“You said you drew it yourself?”

Not to be outdone by this, Karios also spoke up. He stroked his lower jaw and looked suspiciously at him.

“Have you ever had such a talent…? This is a skill comparable to that of an artist.”

From what I’ve seen, it’s definitely well drawn.

As if using 3D graphics, a three-dimensional composition. Contrast in detail. Even the topography of the north, which is uselessly detailed.

I couldn’t believe it was a photo.

Moreover, since Carios spent his childhood with Leonard, he must have known his drawing skills well, so it was hard to believe.

I spoke again.

“It doesn’t matter now. We have to build the northern base by tomorrow. So, we need a person in charge to go north with the completion team.”

He pointed to the layout of the northern positions and shifted his gaze to Yerina.

“Karios has not yet finished recruiting, and I have a lot of work to do. Yerina is the only one who can finish the work within today. Could you leave for the north with the construction team tomorrow?”

“Hmm… I’ll do all the trifles, then.”

Yerina readily accepted. However, the expressions of the Ministry of Magic agents standing behind her were not so good.

“What time do we have to leave?”

“I will tell you again tomorrow. Yerina-sama can have this.”

I captured the blueprints and layout and handed them to Yerina.

It was then. The butler cautiously approached the desk and handed me a piece of paper.

“master. The quota of 15,000 you mentioned has been filled. Here is a statistical table that breaks down their demographics.”

“Good work.”

I checked the contents.

7327 offensive mages, 4801 defensive mages, 1998 healing mages, 874 apothecary mages.

It was the right proportion. However, the sex ratio was completely destroyed.

“Hehehehehehe!”

Yerina, who was peeping at the statistics table with a sidelong glance, was frightened. Subsequently, the Ministry of Magic agents and Karios also shook their shoulders.

[ Final sex ratio: 9.7 to 0.3 ]

There were 14,550 female applicants.

On the other hand, only 450 men.

The overwhelming difference that I couldn’t believe even after seeing it with my own two eyes.

I had expected it to some extent, but I didn’t expect it to be so sharp. It was a shame even for me.

I retrieved the encampment blueprint I gave to Yerina.

“I will adjust the ratio of the men’s bathroom and give it to you again.”

***

‘Adonis Winter Magic Camp’ caught the attention of all women in the Empire.

It wasn’t comparable to that, but another big news shook the empire.

It was a job posting for Karios.

From November 17th to 24th.

In return for providing labor for a week, it was because the condition was paid 1,500 per.

Since the monthly salary of the lowest rank staff of the private knights was 2,000 per, this was obviously an enormous amount. It was a golden opportunity to pull an emergency.

Unlike ‘Adonisga Winter Magic Camp’, which received attention from the upper class, ‘Karios’ job posting’ was known mainly to the lower class.

Residents of the slums, peddlers who roam throughout the empire, day-to-day porters, herbalists who explore remote areas, and so on.

It spread like good news to those in need of money, and rumors spread even to places cut off from the secular world.

“What? Is that true?”

Outskirts of the Imperial Troupe, Catalans.

The herbalist stopped by to get some water and delivered the news of Karios’ job posting. Handing over some crumpled paper.

“Ah, because it is. I can’t leave the house because of my wife and children, but you guys are alone. If anyone needs money, apply.”

JSDF member Derek checked the paper. It was part of the newspaper in which the announcement was published.

“…is it real?”

“Look where you are.”

Before long, the rest of the JSDF members also turned the paper around.

Employer Karios, salary 1,500 per, duration one week.

Nothing was wrong.

Self-Defense Forces member Mikhail said excitedly.

“Let’s do this. It’s 15,000 per 10 people, so with that-”

“Hey, you stupid bastard.”

widely-

Derek hit Mikhail in the back of the head.

“Karios is the one who saved our lives, what kind of money is that? Just go and help.”

“Yes man.”

“Anyway, a bastard who couldn’t learn doesn’t know how to repay the favor.”

As if the other members agreed with Derek’s words, they took turns hitting Mikhail’s head. The sound of the strike, as clear as a wooden table, echoed through the forest.

“Ahh. hurt! No, I’m offering money, but why would you refuse?”

Mikhail shook his head and objected.

As soon as he made a sad face, Spanner, who was sitting next to him, shook his head.

“Don’t you know what Dori is?”

“It is not right to receive what is given. is not it?”

“This is a complete money madman. Hey Captain, what do you think?”

Spanner looked at Zenon, the head of the Self-Defense Force. Subsequently, the eyes of the crew and the herbalist turned to him.

“·······”

Zenon stared at the dirt floor in silence.

I blinked my eyes slowly, let out a small breath, and jumped up from my seat.

“I received grace, but I can’t even get money. We go unpaid.”

······

the next morning.

“A magic camp control tower? Can we go here?”

“Then where are you going? Don’t talk, let’s go down quickly.”

The self-defense fighters, fully prepared, headed for the address written in the newspaper. There was no crystal ball installed in the village, so there was no way to contact them.

A grand mansion reached by riding a steep mountain and using various public transportation.

It was so luxurious that I didn’t dare to ring the doorbell at all. strangely reluctant.

Derek pushed Mikhail off his back.

“Yumma. You asked to come first, so please ring the doorbell.”

“Oh, I hate it. You can do it.”

“Just do it if you want to.”

“If you’re going to do it, ask Zenon. I made the final decision.”

“I’m not good at things like this.”

A rather timid conversation for muscular builders.

The time when we were just putting off each other.

Ki-Ik-

The door of the mansion opened.

A blue-haired sorceress and two suits appeared. one of the dogs asked.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to see Karios-sama.”

Derek opened his eyes and said confidently. The timidity of a moment ago was completely dissipated, and the other members also stood upright.

It was a kind of strong gesture to avoid being ignored as a villager.

“·······”

Atmosphere suddenly deteriorated.

The moment the suit was about to say something, the blue-haired sorceress jumped ahead.

He said with a bright smile.

“Are you Karios? You are in the yard.”

Then he shouted at the door.

“Karios-sama~ Come out~ Someone is looking for you~ Okay?”

“Thank you.”

“Then we’ll go alone.”

The sorceress and the suits moved their way. Before long, a presence was felt from inside the yard.

The long-awaited Karios was approaching.

jerk- jerk-

Members of the crew put their hands together.

I artificially raised the corners of my mouth and prepared to bow my head at 90 degrees right away.

jerk- jerk-

Footsteps getting closer.

I wanted to finally meet Karios.

However, contrary to the high expectations, it was a male wizard who showed up. Her hair was similar to that of Karios, but it was black, not blonde.

“…?”

The male wizard stopped in front of the door and looked around the crew. I asked in a slightly puzzled voice.

“Who are you?”

“what?”

Derek’s brow furrowed. This man, who spat in half words from the beginning, was quite intrusive. If it wasn’t for Karios-sama’s mansion, I would have punched him right away.

Derek waved his hand awkwardly.

“Hey bro. just go on your way Because we are waiting for Karios-sama.”

“I am Karios.”

said the Southern Wizard.

At that moment, laughter erupted from the mouths of the crew members.

“Seriously, I know who is an idiot.”

“You’re ignoring this as a countryman, right?”

“If Ji is Karios, then I am Archmage Frederick.”

Derek also held his belly button and laughed.

“How handsome Karios-sama is, how can someone who looks like chaff like you pretend to be? It sounds like you can’t even eat seeds.”

Then, in an instant, the smile disappeared.

At the same time, the crowd of soldiers surrounded the male wizard. It created a sense of incongruity and intimidation.

“Hey, just go when it’s nice. Because we came to meet Karios-sama .”
