chapter 10
10 – Reading is more important than anything else
“Hey!”
Even if I shout, there is nothing I can do to respond.
I ignored it and looked at the book again, and Jeanne came very close to me and knelt down with her.
“In the world of images…… Base? Omg! Isn’t this a very difficult book?”
Jeanne crouched down and looked up at me, astonished like a rabbit.
She lost her textbook.
Throw it away as soon as you miss it, because you don’t want to see it.
Jane and I took turns reading the book 「The Bottom of the Image World」.
“Do you understand this?”
“Aren’t you studying for the exam?”
“You don’t either.”
Jeanne puffed out her cheeks.
I just need to score well enough not to fail.
Fencing basics 1. I can’t listen to trash like classes again.
My goal is to attend the academy long enough to not be expelled, and to be paid for a long time.
‘So far, the only things I liked were the gravity chamber and the sealed armory, but the library has increased.’
There are more reasons to stay at the academy.
Altaïr is a valuable author.
I hope there are many authors like him in the advanced list.
Jeanne stood up beside me and put her hands on her waist.
“Because I always occupy the top spot, I have already finished my studies. I didn’t give up like anyone else.”
“Have you said everything?”
“No, I told you! I’m going to do an interview.”
Persistent. I haven’t been bothered by Cynthia lately, but it feels like there’s one more.
Jeanne took out her notepad and pen, pretending to raise her spectacles as if she were a reporter.
“Come on, answer my question. This is to get your information.”
“……….”
I read the book again.
Since I meditated despite the curses of evil spirits, I don’t care about these trivial disturbances.
“Your name.”
Jeanne’s angrier voice.
I fell in love with books.
“Hey!”
Jeanne’s hand covering the contents of the book. Because of Jeanne’s hand, the contents of the book cannot be seen.
To cover up the contents of a precious book, you crossed the line.
“…… Do you want to die?”
“Ugh… what a life…….”
Cold sweat broke out on Jeanne’s forehead.
I didn’t even raise my magic, but I was scared and devoured.
“Go away.”
“… ….”
Jane fell down. Jeanne’s trembling legs.
If she was going to be this weak, she shouldn’t have crossed the line.
The anger quickly subsided. I am not immature enough to be swayed by my emotions.
I moved. Books can be read anywhere. Jeanne, whose legs gave way, would not be able to get up for a while.
‘Let’s read in a quiet space.’
Unlike meditation, it’s time to gain knowledge, so I don’t want to be interrupted.
※
Jeanne returned to her friends.
My weak legs were still shaking, making it hard to move.
‘I…… Are you scared of Evan?’
Jeanne was so humiliated.
And I couldn’t understand it.
How can a man at the lowest rank have such a life-threatening attitude?
[…] … Do you want to die?]
Evan warned himself with a cool look.
For a moment, Jeanne thought a large blade was in front of her.
A gigantic sword that will turn even Jeanne into a handful of blood with the slightest movement.
[Go away.]
The shape of the knife that disappeared soon turned into a small boy.
A boy with a displeased expression.
“Goddess Jeanne, didn’t Evan harm Jeanne?! Are you okay?”
“What should I do?
The female students got up and helped Jeanne.
They didn’t know why Jeanne followed Evan.
Jeanne was ordered by her own master, so of course she didn’t tell these friends.
To be honest, they felt more like subordinates praising Jeanne than friends.
“I am fine. Everyone sit down.”
Jeanne said while hiding her body.
The four female students looked at each other’s faces and slowly sat down.
After Jeanne sat down, she was able to breathe.
‘Whoa… Seriously, even if Master didn’t ask me to gather Evan’s information.’
I wouldn’t have suffered like this.
On the other hand, she wondered if the life she felt was Evan’s talent that her teacher saw.
‘Of course, she doesn’t want to become a disciple like that unlucky fellow.’
No matter how things change, they always change for the worse.
To Jeanne, Evan was a very strange child who changed from a pervert to a mischievous man.
‘Haa… But I can’t disobey Master’s orders.’
Master’s name is like the sky.
Jeanne rested her chin on her desk and looked at her friends.
The children, named Anna, Cindy, Emma, and Hilda, respectively, were the daughters of obscure families ranging from viscounts to counts.
The reason these children follow Jeanne is simply because Jeanne’s teacher is a swordsman.
Although, from Jeanne’s point of view, she only needed to stand up for herself.
“You… How much do you know about Evan?”
“Evan? I only know it through rumors…….”
“Maybe……….”
The friends who look at Jeanne with anxious faces.
Jeanne drew her line.
“It’s not because I’m interested in him! I’m going to ask her to find out.”
“Aha.”
“I don’t know who it is, but he seems to have a grudge against Evan. Evan is literally horny. I was teased by all the first-year female professors… Ah…… Except for Geomseong-nim, of course.”
Her friends chatted hard.
All of these were Evan’s gossips, to be honest, there was nothing Jeanne could remember.
Jeanne sighed inwardly as she listened to her friends.
‘I haven’t been able to get any information that satisfies Master.’
Should I have a sparring with Evan?
Jeanne was deeply troubled.
After a while, Evan, holding a full of her books, passed them by.
Jeanne and her friends all focused their attention on him as the main character appeared in front of them.
Evan goes to the counter and drops books.
The authors of the books were all Altair.
“That doesn’t even go into the exam, right?”
“…… Isn’t that a 4th grade course book?”
A question mark came to mind for everyone.
The female clerk at the counter widened her eyes and counted her book from under her.
“One, two… three…… Are you renting all ten?”
“Yes.”
“The loan period is two weeks… ….”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Borrowing ten volumes of theoretical books that are already difficult.
Basically, there is no maximum loan limit for students, but there is a common sense.
The female employee timidly recorded the collection number of the book.
Evan held the book in his arms with a somewhat satisfied expression.
‘Do you really like borrowing books? Even though I’ve never been to the library before.’
Except for training, he slept in the library most of the time, so he knew that Evan had come to the library for the first time.
“……….”
The female students followed Jeanne’s gaze.
Now they know that Jeanne wants information about Evan.
In order to earn Jeanne’s favor, what kind of work should she do?
“Goddess! Don’t worry, we’ll get Evan’s information.”
“That little guy, just give me a little bit of time.”
“Really?”
A blush appeared on Jeanne’s face.
She didn’t want to deal with Evan anyway, but if her friends do it for her, she’s perfect.
“Yes! Just leave it to me.”
The female students confidently promised.

Basic swordsmanship 1. Class time.
Two male students are lying face down.
Lynn, with a cool complexion, threw her thin cane with all her might.
Puck!
“Knock!”
“Big!”
“Would you like to play a joke with me if you do not sit down after class?”
Two male students screaming.
Lin was especially sensitive because of her exam period.
She did not dare to put up with her own fiery personality, so she punished the male students who were standing up for small talk.
Girls giggled at their awkward behavior.
“Pu-huh.”
“Then why are you standing up?”
“The two of you who are chatting now, come out.”
“Oops.”
“Hey.”
Rin’s fiery eyes stared at the two flirtatious girls.
The two female students who were called were also stretched out on the podium, and were hit by Lin’s fierce cane.
“Ouch!”
“Wrong, Professor!”
“Did I say I could open my mouth?”
Lynn swung her cane back at her schoolgirl’s thigh as she opened her mouth.
Red Dragon Rin.
Obviously it was called that.
All the students shut their mouths nervously.
“It’s the test period, so you must be confident to keep your mouth open, right? You guys will keep an eye on me.”
Lin put her cane in her own hand, and let go.
She glared at the four students who were lying face down.
‘As expected, he has a fiery personality.’
When I was a Paladin of the End, I had a taste of calm, but I don’t know what happened.
‘Well, I guess I can just wait.’
Right now, I’m busy taking care of other strong players.
I looked down. Altair’s 「The Base of the Image World」 Book, Basic Swordsmanship 1. The book cover was covered. If you look at the cover, it will look like a basic swordsmanship 1. Book.
However, the content is “The base of the world of images.” Rin’s class was useless, but I’m thinking of doing my own study.
I also glanced at the device in my pocket.
「Title: Is there anyone similar to the author Altair?
Description: I want to know an excellent swordsman theorist.
-Comment: Altair-nim is a divine sword, right? Don’t use the name
-Comment: I’m in 4th grade, but Altair’s didn’t appear in the midterm exam. Calm down, my friend…….
-Comment: I will hold on until Evan touches the sophomore female professors, Day 26.
-Comment: Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy Midterms are going to go crazy
Would there be any useful comments like Cynthia’s time, I wrote, but there were no helpful comments.
The bulletin board is overflowing with topics about midterm exams.
The article was soon buried.
It seems difficult to get a good answer right now.
‘I’ll have to ask Cynthia later.’
Since Cynthia seemed to have some background knowledge.
Excellent authors write above average books no matter what.
Knowing these authors will help you choose a good book.
“Let’s start class. Get down on your stomach and listen to my lessons.”
Rin discriminates against the four students who received corporal punishment.
I pretended to be taking her class, watching her grabbing her chalk.
