All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 134

## Chapter 134

67. Could You Recommend Me? – 2

“Huk…….”

“What is this?”

While the knights and soldiers accompanying the students were horrified by the sight of the monster corpses, Aransae approached Ian.

“Myaaaa!!”

Mya-ne, who was on his shoulder, jumped down and hugged him.

As the little one scurried into the bag, Aransae hurriedly approached and asked, “Are you okay?”

“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine. What happened to the others?”

“Ah. That?”

They took the people they had rescued to a nearby village.

After that, they were about to move to hunt the Lich.

Suddenly, a monster wave started.

Feeling uneasy because the direction they were heading was near the mountain from before, they led the knights and soldiers to investigate.

And then they saw this sight.

While Aransae was surprised, some of the knights were startled to see Ian.

It was because they had met him before in Brandon Territory.

Since they didn’t have a good meeting back then, they couldn’t be entirely happy to see him now.

“Oh. We meet again.”

Of course, Ian recognized their faces too.

As he waved his hand and spoke, the knights were startled and awkwardly bowed.

“Ah, hello.”

Ian’s position now was worlds apart from what it was back then.

Although he was an enemy of the Scarlet Kingdom, he was classified as one of the strongest on the continent, if not equal to the Three [referring to the three most powerful individuals].

They thought he was no ordinary person back then, but to think he was this strong.

The knights, feeling guilty, couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Oh, oh, oh~ Who is this? Isn’t it Ian.”

A noble in armor walked out from among the knights.

It was Baron Pine.

He approached Ian with an even more awkward expression and raised his hand.

“Well, well. It’s been a while.”

“Indeed.”

“That… what was it.”

What should he say?

Hesitating, he scratched his cheek and said, “But why are you here doing this?”

“Did I come to a place I shouldn’t be?”

“That’s… not it, but.”

Ian was the one who entered Red City without permission and destroyed it.

Where couldn’t he go?

“Anyway, should I see your being here as being due to the request I made to the Academy?”

At Baron Pine’s question, Wilde was about to shake his head.

At that moment, Ian said calmly, “Yes. I have my name on the Academy’s roster, after all.”

‘Why is he doing that?’

Aransae, Haryun, and Wilde were puzzled.

But Blanche and Valla were grinning as if they were happy.

“I see. If you request something from the Academy, you might move. Is that what you’re saying?”

“That’s right.”

As Ian nodded, Pine sighed.

“Well… anyway, you’ve worked hard. You must have dealt with the monster wave too.”

“And I caught the Lich too.”

“Really? Then we can consider the request made to the Academy to be over with this.”

The rest is just cleaning up.

As Pine took the knights and soldiers away, Aransae approached Ian.

“Why did you lie like that?”

“It’s not a lie, is it?”

Anyway, it’s a fact that he has his name on the Academy’s roster.

At Ian’s reply, Aransae made a bitter expression.

“We could have caught the Lich ourselves, though.”

If it was just a simple Lich, they might have been enough.

But Kalteg was a Lord of the Magic Kingdom.

He had the skills to seal even demons, so at least two or three people would have died or been seriously injured.

But instead of saying that, Ian smiled.

Aransae, noticing the meaning of that smile, bit her lip slightly.

“Isn’t it?”

“It’s not.”

“I see. I thought I had gotten stronger in the meantime. I’m still far off.”

As Aransae muttered with bitterness, Blanche poked Ian’s back.

“By the way, did you get anything from catching the Lich?”

“I did.”

Ian took out a small, shining stone from his bag.

When Haryun looked at it curiously, he answered calmly, “Star of Talent.”

After a brief conversation, they entered the dungeon.

Pine, seeing the traces of destruction spread out there, sweated coldly.

The dungeon was almost completely destroyed.

After catching the few remaining undead and confirming the traces of the destroyed Lich in the center on the 3rd basement floor, he wrote the confirmation without complaint.

“And, and what’s left here is…….”

As Pine looked around at the artifacts and materials left by Kalteg, Ian grabbed the hilt of his sword.

“Of course, the Academy should take them. Haha. That’s the rule.”

Everything looked valuable at a glance, so Pine was disappointed.

But since Ian said he was affiliated with the Academy, he couldn’t ask for them.

How could he act tough when the person in front of him had single-handedly dealt with the monster wave?

After he stepped back and the students took everything out and organized it, it was already afternoon.

“Don’t you need to take anything separately?”

As Aransae pointed to the good artifacts and asked, Ian shook his head.

“This is enough for me.”

“But you caught the Lich.”

Even if she said that, he didn’t need anything.

The magic power of the most important staff had been recovered.

Also, Kalteg’s materials wouldn’t be of much help.

In addition, all the artifacts with low circles [referring to the level of magical power] but overflowing with magic power had been recovered.

So Ian shook his head again, and Aransae sighed.

“I feel like I’m only receiving from you.”

“Please let the Academy know that I’ll request something if I need it later.”

“Okay. I understand.”

“Instructor! Preparation for departure is complete!”

As Haryun shouted, Aransae picked up her bag.

“Then what are you going to do?”

Looking at them, who had finished preparing to return, Ian shrugged.

“I’ll go back for now too.”

* * *

As they returned to the Academy, the students welcomed them.

It seemed like everyone was worried because it was their first mission.

The waiting students chattered, saying they had prepared a party to celebrate their safe return without any major injuries.

“Ian. You’re coming too, right?”

“Yeah, you come too. Park Bare and I will prepare the party food.”

“Why do you nobles keep trying to cook?”

“Yeah. Let’s just go out for a company dinner instead.”

“What company dinner? Everything is prepared in the backyard.”

Park Bare grabbed Aransae, who was openly reluctant.

Watching them go, Grajin poked Ian.

“But why did you come back right away?”

“Can’t I?”

“It’s not that, but. I thought you were going to catch demons? Didn’t you get anything from meeting Leila?”

“I got a lot.”

“Really? Then you’ll be busy again?”

“I don’t know. But I don’t think I need to move right now.”

As Gust said, the demons will start to keep him in check too.

But they won’t stop unless they give up.

Then he just needs to catch them every time.

“I’m going to use the Guardians and the Academy’s information network. The Academy gets information from each territory, right? I can move right away if there’s a problem.”

This was also a big reason for staying at the Academy.

The information that Kirke finds out through the truth and the information network used by the nobles in the Academy.

And even the information that the Guardians will send.

With this much, he should be able to easily prevent the appearance of demons within the continent.

And if he catches demons in that way, he might be able to meet the Seven Deadly Sins too.

“So you’re going to move according to the Academy’s schedule for the time being?”

“For now?”

Of course, he plans to move as soon as information comes in, or as soon as he detects the movement of demons.

To do that, he shouldn’t be tied to classes.

“Really? Then you won’t be able to attend classes well?”

“So I’m going to negotiate with the instructors.”

Just like he did in the intermediate level.

He’s going to finish it with just assignments and exams without attendance.

Anyway, he plans to maintain his status as an Academy student.

“Why don’t you become an instructor?”

“It’s harder for an instructor to skip classes. I don’t like being a simple freeloader. It feels like I’m leeching off.”

“Then how about the Advanced Relic Research? It’s Instructor Valentine’s class, and if it’s you, they’ll recognize you as attending, right?”

At Grajin’s words, Haryun, Wilde, Oerina, and other students’ eyes sparkled.

“Ian! Come to think of it, you haven’t applied for classes since returning to school yet?!”

“Let’s take Hunting Studies! Hunting Studies!”

“How about Tax Practice?! I’m taking it too! You can learn the know-how of our Fredician County!”

“Black Magic Countermeasure Magic is also good!”

“Field Cooking! You can be with Widia! You can eat a super delicious stew!”

To the point where the old days came to mind.

The students strongly began to recommend Ian’s elective classes.

In the upper grades, the number of main classes decreases and the number of elective classes increases due to missions and various events.

In the process, it was possible to adjust the number of class days, so they could take classes more leisurely than in the intermediate grades.

“But is there anything you need to learn?”

“No.”

Ian chuckled as he returned from applying for the Monster Hunting class with Blanche.

After all, the classes taught in the upper grades of the Academy were all things he already knew.

“I’m just going to apply for classes that I don’t have to attend.”

There were already some main classes that gave perfect scores even if you didn’t attend them.

In that case, it’s better to fill up the electives in that way and get free time.

Blanche, who was walking with him, smiled bitterly.

“It really seems like you’re just hanging out at the Academy.”

“Are you jealous?”

“Of course, I’m jealous.”

The classes in the upper grades were much more difficult and complex than in the intermediate grades.

Not only the lectures but also the practical skills were not easy.

He was just envious that Ian could do those things so easily.

“Ha… hey. Tutor me later.”

“I’ll think about it. But you don’t have many classes that overlap with mine, do you?”

“There are main classes, right?”

“Yeah. First, you need to put in some effort.”

“Ugh…….”

Ian patted Blanche on the back and turned his steps.

The place he was heading to was the forest, where the Temple of the Moon was located.

“Then have a good class.”

After sending him off, Ian headed straight to the Temple of the Moon.

Out, who was sweeping in front of the temple, greeted Ian with a smile when he came.

“Welcome, Ian Saint.”

“It’s been a while, Priest. Have you been well?”

“Hehe. Yes. But what brings you here today? There’s no service today…….”

“I’m here to give you this.”

Ian took out Eul’s diary from his chest.

Out, who received it, tilted his head and opened it, and was surprised.

“Where did you get this?”

“I found it in the dungeon where the kids went on a mission this time.”

“Ah…… I see…….”

Baron Pine took care of the body, so it will head to the main temple of the Order of the Moon within a few days.

As Ian explained, Out sighed with a bitter tone.

“Priest Eul is quite famous even in the main temple of the Order of the Moon.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. He served the previous Saintess. I heard that one day, he lost all his comrades to a Lich who attacked the Saintess and decided to take revenge…….”

“He must have gone to a good place.”

“I hope so. Ah. And can I take this diary to the main temple?”

“Please do.”

“Thank you. The main temple will definitely reward you for this.”

As Out smiled brightly, Ian nodded.

“Then I’ll be going now.”

“Ah. Yes. Please feel free to come anytime.”

Ian bowed back to him and immediately left the forest.

As he was walking back to the dormitory.

A girl appeared in front of him.

Thick blonde hair and green eyes.

And clean skin and a pretty face.

She was wearing an upper-class student uniform and holding a staff.

The magician stood in front of Ian and opened her mouth.

“Ian Brandon?”

“Who are you?”

“I’m Rowena Salt from Upper Class A.”

“Salt?”

“I’m Haryun’s cousin.”

“Ah. I see. So?”

As Ian bluntly asked the main point, she said seriously, “Could you recommend me in this year’s student council president election?”
