5. Welco to the summoners school. (3)
#1 Their story: The student council presidents story.
Ah right.
What?
I left sothing in the student council eting room.
As I was packing my bags to prepare to head ho for the holidays, I rembered that I had left behind so things in the stuco eting room.
Well, since theyre personal things theres no reason why anyone would take them, but since I might as well take them back while I was returning ho anyway, I said that to my roommate and went back to the academy for the first ti since final exams
Why is it under construction?
Even if I look like this Im still the student council president.
If there was a construction scheduled I would have been notified, but Id never heard that there would be construction work done during the holidays.
It cant be
I heard that the academy could close down any day, but did that beco reality?!
We wouldnt be seeing a new dean shouting Yugrasia is dead! Its not here anymore! But not as a school of summoning, but the school of 000, we will live on as 00 Academy!(1) as soon as next sester starts?
Oi, are you a student?
Huh, uh, yes I am.
Just as I was wondering what new subject the academy would teach, I felt soone tap my side and I turned around, but no one was there!
Thankfully it wasnt a ghost, but I t sothing that was even harder to et than ghosts.
Whats the matter?
Ah, I left sothing in the stuco room
What, so youre a mber of the student council? Youre acting about as rude as you look?
When I looked a bit further down, I saw a head at around my waist-height.
Ah, of course it isnt a child.
This persons probably at least a few decades older than .
With a slight exaggeration, arms that were as thick as my waist, a brown beard that ca from his chin all the way down his chest.
And a height that barely ca to my waist. Anyone would think of a particular race when they saw this.
Indeed. The people fixing the academy were none other than dwarves!
To think the dwarves that were hard to see even on imperial projects were doing construction work on our academy!
What are you looking at? First ti seeing a dwarf?
Ah, yes it is
Oh, really?
The dwarf was slightly taken aback at my answer for a second before he laughed uproariously and thumped my side.
Hahahaha, well true, you do see the majority of our race are stuck in their workshops instead of out and about. Now now, your academy, its transforming into sothing beautiful, so you can have great hopes for it.
Re, really?
After listening to the dwarf, it seed that the one who hired the dwarves was indeed Yugrasia.
Thank goodness.
It seems that nothings changing, next year at least.
Surely we wont be learning sothing else with just the na kept as Yugrasia, right?
Just as I thought that another thought ca to .
Just why were dwarves working on our school?
Is a mber of the imperial family transferring in?
Wondering if the legendary imperial princess was coming or sothing, I picked up what I was looking for and went back to the dorms.
But due to the unexpected eting with the dwarves I didnt pay enough attention to my surroundings at the ti.
If Id looked closely, I might have suspected sothing.
When they were renovating the academy, just why was the majority of the work focused on the windows and exits.
And why were the dwarves moving countless steel pillars while working on those areas.
But by the ti I realised, it was already too late.
***
-Owner? Isnt the one who started sothing ant to be the busiest? Owners way too free?
-Im not free. It ans that work is proceeding well.
The one in charge of a project does not move himself!
Its definitely not like Im just playing around or sothing!
Even if I look like this I invited several lecturers, made contact with the dwarves to renovate the school, filed away paperwork with the dean even in this very room. Although of course all I did was stamp the final seal of approval.
So next week is the beginning of enrollnts?
Yes, Professor Nicerwin.
When I asked the dean about the enrollnt period that made up the majority of the docunts we were stamping, he answered in the affirmative as he also stamped docunts beside .
Enrollnt period.
A month before the opening of the empires holy lands of education that were the Four Great Academies, for a period of one week the schools were opened up to the public.
To put it simply, test even a stone bridge before you cross?
It was a ti period where the parents really looked around with lit eyes to see just what place the school they would be sending their children to for the next four years, what kind of teachers and students were there at the place they would be sending their kids off to.
The place we need to beware of the most is Marcis.
Very true. They have a lot of parts that overlap with us
Summoning and magic have many parts that overlap with each other.
No, if you look at the big picture one could argue that summoning is actually a subset of magic.
Especially since there are a lot of cases where the rearguard pure firepower magicians that focus purely on output have contracted summons to protect themselves.
And because of that, our greatest enemy is Marcis!
The important thing is how many outstanding talents we can obtain. Since were only taking in 1/4 of our normal enrollnt. We need that people with that kind of spectacular talents.
Thats true. This year
-The tuition fees are five tis, would talents show up? Heck isnt that just a scam? Why are the number of students decreased fourfold, but the fees by quint?
-If theyre nobles even if it was ten tis higher the ones who would co will co. And the latter because a lot of moneys been spent.
The Made in Black Anvil that I always relied on was always outstanding, but the problem is that they are seriously expensive.
Because of that the school funds are already at their limits.
And to make up those funds we need to raise fees.
-And, later on owner secretly goes yum yum?
-Of course.
Its hard right now because we really are on the verge of bankruptcy, but once things get better I can ask the dwarves for a discount, and I can secretly sneak away the difference in price myself.
Since as long as talks are done with the higher ups the dwarves that are actually on the project know nothing either. And so, a beautiful world unfolds where even when no one is disadvantaged money still flows into my coffers!
Having said that, the currently active summoners of the imperial army aside, I didnt know that that Sirs Muam and Harian would co either. I heard even the Association found it hard to call for them.
I have so contacts with the elves, I saw so benefits from that.
And their exploits are renowned. And even the two mbers of the army that are joining us, they are even Sergeants of the Summoner Corps, perhaps they might know so of the other army-related summoners as well.
Yes, I talked with the two of them, and I asked them to et up with summoners that retired from the army that stressed the sa importance of education and told them to bring them as well.
Hoho, indeed, Professor Nicerwin is always a quick on the mark.
As we diligently pushed down our stamps the dean and I started to unify our opinions.
Hm, as I thought, all according to plan!(2)
Now all that I have left to do is see how prepared am I to hook in so students, or more accurately their parents.
But what kind of people am I!
Am I not from a people where wherever there was a churchs cross, during primary school, I experienced sumr bible school for the sake of a single choco-pie!
And it was there I learned the word of Jesus.
-Beco the fishers of n!-
-Dat education fervor.
A few days later, the enrollnt period where here were nobles, there were nobles ca along.
But I never thought that the Duke and the Minister of Treasury would co in person.
Ah, both of them are ex-honour graduates of Arucia and rcadia. Even though they cant co every year, they try to whenever they can. And they take with them a lot of the graduates as well.
Oho, the fact that they take in a lot of talent ans that they also probably fork out a lot of scholarship money to us as well.
Early support makes them easier to take along as well. Then lets see.
Our academys students
Huk.
Eh?
-Wiin? He cried! Owner made gramps cry! Our amazing owner that doesnt hesitate to attack the elderly!
Uh, no it wasnt like I knew it when I said it?
And I didnt think hed cry straight away either!
No, to be precise he isnt crying yet! Hes just sniffling!
Huuk there werent. there were no students that the Dukes offered any scholarship money to our academys students!
-Now he really is gonna cry? A tear just fell!
-N, not yet! Still no count!
After he said that there were none in the past five years, when I so brazenly said that next year will be different! to the dean who was about to fully turn on the waterworks he looked at
with a look of respect that actually weighed on
a fair bit.
I get it so please, stop
-Wiin? If its that big then arent the imperial family gonna show up? Princess could be here too? Get locked up right here?
-No, the princess isnt in the capital right now.
During the process of securing the summoners from the army I actually heard so news of the imperial palace.
That shut-in, no, the imperial shut-in that was the imperial princess moved herself to capture .
It honestly gave
the shivers when I first heard of that, but right now its good.
The further she gets away from
I am perfectly OK!
-The kids dont look happy.
-This is always a pain in the ass for the students.
The people were gathering for the speeches, but the students were making faces like they were bored out of their minds.
Of course, so did I.
No seriously, this was actually painful.
We at Marcis have the backing of the all the Magic Towers of the Empire, and so we get materials for all practical courses at less than cost price. In addition, the Lords of Magic Towers over there will be sending around their best disciples of the Magic Towers to guide your children, and we swear that your children will be learning right alongside them of everything about magic! Magic is the school that leads to greatness. We need those with the greatest passion and willpower, those that do not hesitate to take the challenge!
Now, this is the third speech we heard, this ti Marciss.
Of course Marcis didnt make the sa speech three tis, but in the case of the first, Arucis, if you changed magic to swordsmanship, and Magic Tower and disciples to their rough equivalents, rest was more or less the sa.
Sa for rcaria, they all made the sa damn speeches as if theyd all had them edited by the sa company or sothing.
Worse
We at Yugrasia have the backing of all the Summoners Associations of the Empire, and so we get materials for all practical courses at less than cost price. In addition, our senior summoners will helping to guide your children, and we swear that your children will be learning right alongside them of everything about summoning! Summoning is the school that explores the great path of nature. We need those with the greatest passion and willpower, those that will not hesitate to take the challenge!(3)
-He betrayed us! The dean grandpa betrayed us! We trusted him! The man thats always crying for the academy, has the exact sa mindfra as every other academy!
Wouldnt it be nice if they could all just pick a representative to shout our Four Great Academies!
To say nothing of the students, even so of the parents were starting to dose off, thats how boring and repetitive the speeches were.
The only parts that the students even remotely responded to were the respective student councils presidents in between.
Amazingly enough our stuco president was quite popular. Does that an our academy has hope as well?
Next is Yugrasias Professor Nicerwin Ains speech.
And so a long dull ti passed, and the final speaker that the dean had barely managed to scrape out, more accurately my speech ti ca along.
-Owner, owners famous too?
-Im quite famous.
-Totes. So famous that the imperial princess even destroyed the organization.
-That person, and Nicerwin is different!
-Wut, another ? Owner multiple personalities is dangerous!
As the tal bat and I exchanged the usual banter I moved up to the stage. Thousands of people are staring at nothing but .
Ho, I only ever had kids looking at
before, now that there are adults mixed it it feels quite quaint.
Sothings beating quite fast!
If I say the wrong things here then everything until now goes down the gutter!
Ill be honest. Up to now Yugrasia, has had no rits compared to the other academies.
So lets start by pulling in so aggro.
