Chapter 551: Inn and Dormitory

After the tour by Inez, our next stop was a series of three towers near the center of the academy.

The other towers were built apart from each other, but these towers were built so that their foundations were attached, and the upper floors were connected by a walkway.

It seems to be a place used as a dormitory.

It will be tomorrow afternoon when youll meet the Special Battle Cla.s.s. So, Id like you to come to the Instructors office at that time, is that okay?

Nn. Okay

Oh, right. Ive also been asked to take you to your dormitory and another facility, so Ill just show you around

Did they prepare a dormitory for her? However.

Dormitory? But Im currently staying at an inn

It was as she said. Moreover, Fran liked the Green Ancient Tree Pavilion where she was staying now.

Its cheaper if you stay in the dorm And Fran-dono doesnt have any problems with it, right?

But, what Fran was interested in was the matter of the spirit. The gaze that Fran felt last night seemed to be the gaze of a spirit. So that inn was suitable for her to train spirit magic.

However, there were even more spirits in the Academy of Magic. So, would it be even better for her to stay here then?

Inez, are there a lot of spirits in there?

Eh? The spirits, huh? Hmm? I know theres some in there, but Ive never seen one

Not even once?

Unless a spirit magic user is willing to visualize them, the figures of lower or middle-ranked spirits are invisible. However, if its a powerful being like the Great Spirit, even someone like me can see them

Is that so?

Well, Ive heard it once from someone before

Surely, the Great Spirit, that Klimut was said to have calmed down, was said to have had its appearance witnessed by many people back then.

Well, I think the spirits in this academy are quite hidden, so its harder for people who cant use spirit magic to see them, right?

If that was the case, it wouldnt be that good of a training method for spirit users, wouldnt it? No, was it the better training instead? Im sure they were there, and if she try to sense them. It might be good training for her.

Hmmm

Staying at the dorm is also convenient because it is only a short walk from our workplace. They also serve meals to us too

They serve meals?

Woof?

That was what interested you, huh? Well, that kind of thing has always made Fran and Urus.h.i.+ interested.

Eh? Yes, youll also get a different meal every day

Inez was puzzled by her unexpected reaction. Up to now, shed been indifferent to anything she said, but her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly started questioning her back. Just like that, with Fran and Urus.h.i.+ staring at her she told us about the menu for the past few days.

They usually serve the same breakfast, but lunch and dinner are different every day. And the amount is quite large too

Is it tasty?

Woof?

Its taste? I-Im sorry but I havent paid attention to that matter But at least, it doesnt taste bad, I guess?

So at least it wasnt something super tasty, huh? However, Fran and Urus.h.i.+ were curious about the food they served in the dining hall.

I want to try it. Ill decide after I eat there

Youll decide based on the food?

Of course

Woof

Th-thats fine then I think we can still have lunch now, so lets go to the cafeteria

Nn

She told us that the dining hall for the students was so large that it could accommodate up to a thousand people, but the dining hall for the teachers was more comfortable. It seemed that they also served the same meals for the students and the teachers.

This room is quite small though?

Well, the one for the students is ten times larger than this

The teachers cafeteria was large enough to accommodate a hundred people. It was reasonably clean and the atmosphere was not bad.

Please wait a moment

Nn

Inez then rushed to the counter. There she talked to an aunt in her ap.r.o.n.

She then somehow pointed at us, so I guess she was talking about Fran and Urus.h.i.+.

Todays menu is bean and ground meat soup, salad, potatoes with cheese, fish pie, and fruits. Is there anything you dont like?

No

Very well then, please wait

Want a large portion

Understood. They also said that theyll serve a meal for Urus.h.i.+ too. Do they need to serve it on a wide plate?

Nn

Woof

Then Inez brought us our meal. The menu was just as we had been told. The soup and potatoes were almost twice as much as Inezs could eat, probably because she asked for a large serving.

Just ask for a refill if you want more

It doesnt look bad. However, when Fran and Urus.h.i.+ smelled the meal, their expressions were subtle.

The meal was not well-prepared, and they probably did not use that many seasonings. The portions were large, and the vegetables were plentiful and nutritious, but the taste may be mediocre.

Thanks for the meal

Woof

Mogu mogu

Momu momu

How is it?

I could imagine what it would taste like by the looks on their faces, but I asked them about it.

(It tastes normal)

(Woof)

It was not bad, but it was not really tasty either. The serving was large, but they didnt seem to want to eat a lot of it. That was how it seemed to be.

After all, the most important thing for an Academy meal was to be nutritious and fulfilling. They were serving meals for thousands of people after all, so I couldnt blame them.

How is it?

Nn. Im not going to stay in the dorm

Woof!

So you choose to commute from the inn?

Inez was puzzled by Fran and Urus.h.i.+s decision to choose the inn.

In her mind, she was probably thinking Just because of the meal?. But for Fran, that was the most important thing.

I-I understand. Ill ask them to give you an entry pa.s.s then

Please do

Woof
