Chapter 547.2: Guardian Spirits of the Academy

It seems that if an outsider attacked the academy, Weena Rhyn had to deal with them. To fulfil the contract with the spirits, she couldnt stop attacking until the spirit decided that the sanction was sufficient.

The spirits eyes cant be deceived, so in some cases, I have to kill them against my will

In addition, the spirits could read the emotions of the enemy and even determine if they were feeling remorse or if they were lying.

In other words, the degree of sanction would be rather severe against those who had surrendered but thought that they could get revenge later.

The degree of the sanction also varied considerably depending on the position of the other party and the degree of hostility.

If a hostile organization hurts a student in the academy, they were doomed, no questions asked. However, if it was someone friendly to the school For example, if a graduate raised their hand because a student mocked them, a simple apology was all that was needed.

In some cases, the academy may be at fault, but that doesnt seem to matter to the spirits who judge the degree of sanction. Even if the other party was a Saint, a felon, or even the King, the sanction would still be enforced.

It was impossible to keep him, an evil person, in the academy without a t.i.tle. Just being Romios guardian was not enough to convince the spirits, so he needed the t.i.tle of a temporary staff member

Even Zelos Reed, can be a staff member?

Aah, you mean, is it fine for us to accept a sinner?

Nn

You see, as I said before, laws made by humans are meaningless to the spirits that judge them. In addition, if you are talking about him who has taken the lives of many people, the number of people that I have directly taken is hundreds of times greater than the number of people that he has killed

Weena Rhyn then shrugged her shoulders after saying so.

Ive traveled around the world for a long time, fought on countless battlefields, and fought against countries. Even now, some countries still have me listed as a terrible criminal

Come to think of it, she had also killed a n.o.bleman who messed with the academy, right? Well, no wonder she would be considered as their enemy.

And such a person is acting as the Director of the academy, right? Well, it just goes to show that spirits dont care what kind of sins youve committed

As a result, Fran, an outsider who had attacked Zelos Reed, who was now an academy employee, had triggered the sanctions.

But there is one thing I owe you an apology for

What is it?

To lessen the sanctions against you, I misled the guardian spirit, Berthoudi, by pretending that you were related to the Academy. Specifically, its when I said, To you, who have been offered a position as a special instructor and a short-term transfer plan. Instead of treating you like someone from outside the academy who almost killed someone from the academy, I decided to treat you like someone from the academy that got into a fight with someone from here

(TLN: Reference ch544)

I see. So, there was a loophole like that, huh? She had a letter of introduction from Alistair, and since Weena Rhyn actually recognized her as a related individual, she was then treated as a related on the spot by the spirits.

And it seems Alistairs letter of introduction was particularly influential. It was said that just having this letter of introduction was enough for a minor a.s.sault case to be judged as no problem. Thats why even Fran, who was involved in an attempted murder case, was only detained.

For a moment, I wondered why she hadnt told Alistair that information, but then I thought, why would she need to?

It was obvious that one shouldnt be messing on the academy or being hostile to Weena Rhyn. It was also common sense that someone should not be rude to someone who was about to hire them.

Its the same as someone warning an acquaintance who was going to a job interview at a big company with Dont be rude at the office or Dont insult the Chairman of the company and make him angry.

I heard that if we pa.s.s the interview, they usually tell us about it, but I guess they didnt think it was necessary to tell us. As we had a letter of introduction, some mischief was allowed. It was just that this time, that wasnt enough.

Oh, that was right. Theres another mystery.

We had attacked Weena Rhyn, right? So, we actually did some damage, didnt we?

She had slashed her with Heaven Judgement, and Urus.h.i.+ too has hurt her a little, right? Wouldnt our sanction be increased by the spirits?

Yeah, Ive told you in the beginning that you could resist, didnt I? Thats why I permitted you to do that

So, by Weena Rhyns permission, it was treated as a mock battle, huh? In other words, she had said a precautionary line first so that Fran could resist.

But Fran was much stronger than I expected. Well, it was also because I hadnt calculated you had the support of Master. I should have told her that she could hurt me, not that she could resist as much as she wanted. The spirit then judged that you were resisting more than you were allowed to. Im sorry

Weena Rhyn bowed her head as she said so.

The surprise attack she had done to Zelos Reed was offset by receiving some damage and being restrained. Her attack on Weena Rhyn too was offset by receiving some damage from Weena Rhyn. And the fear she had caused to the students was forgiven by the apology she made afterward. That seemed to be the case.

However, the problem remained.

You said that she has been offered a position as a special instructor and a short-term transfer plan, right? Does that mean its already decided?

Thats the problem, isnt it? In the first place, if you think about what Fran has been doing since she came to this academy, theres no factor to increase her likability. Im not going to say, Im going to make you a member of our prestigious academy, s.h.i.+ver and be grateful! Im not even going to say that. But for now, that t.i.tle is the only reason Fran is allowed to be here by Berthoudi

What if she refuses?

If you refuse, I think youll have to deal not only with me but with the spirits as well

Doesnt that mean we dont have the right to refuse at all!?

Dont worry. You cant quit immediately, but if you work for a couple of weeks, the spirits will be satisfied. Thats how long it will take to work for a short period of time to be completed

Well, by listening to her explanation, I could tell that it was a necessary procedure It was probably because she had made a decision for Fran on her own.

But even so Not only an instructor but a transfer student too? Doesnt that mean shes going to be a student here? I wonder if she will be fine

However, Fran nodded easily at her words.

Understood, Ill be that special?

Special instructor and short-term transfer student

Thats fine then

Fran, are you sure?

Nn? In the first place, that was my intention; its the same as pa.s.sing the interview after all

Apparently, she didnt have any particular thoughts about Weena Rhyn. So, she casually accepted Weena Rhyns words.

If we stay here, we can keep an eye on Zelos Reed

Well, youre right

Whether or not the opportunity for revenge came around, she was not going to give up and let it pa.s.s her by here.

Are there a lot of spirits in this academy?

Yeah, There arent many places as crowded with spirits as here, you know?

If so, I can practice using spirit magic by staying here. So, its a good thing

Haah Thats good for you then. Thank you very much for accepting it. Now I dont have to be angry with A-chan anymore Aah, as an apology for the trouble, Ill at least offer you a raise in your salary. But do you have anything else you want?

I want to have a mock battle with Weena Rhyn

Huh? With me? I dont mind though, but

Rather, the major reason we came to this academy was because of her interest in Weena Rhyn. She wanted to see the strength of the strongest High Elf in the world. And although she had experienced that strength once, I guess she wanted to fight some more.

Weena Rhyn, who was obviously not a battle junkie, chuckled at her.

Your face is cute, but youre quite greedy, arent you?

?

Well, just wait for it. In the meantime, I look forward to working with you for a short time

Nn. Ill be in your care
