(EP-48.1) Another Name Is Enrollment #1

048 – Another Name For War Is Enrollment #1

In the old religion, there were a lot of ‘don’ts’.

Basically, many things were forbidden things.

‘‘Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not get drunk. Do not covet your neighbor’s property. Do not mention the name of God lightly. Do not worship idols, etc.’’

In any religion, these doctrines usually constrained a person’s behavior.

Ark, an educational facility operated by the Church, was a kind of religious facility. So there were a lot of things one shouldn’t do.

For example, men and women should not be in the same room after 10 PM.

Or, you had to go to sleep after the lights went out.

Failure to do so would result in penalties. If you accumulated more than a certain amount of demerit points, you would be expelled.

Being forced to leave the Academy.

That was definitely a terrible outcome…

For me, being expelled was synonymous with being executed.

And here I was, violating the two rules above.

Late at night, in a luxurious platinum dormitory.

It was already 11 o’clock, yet I was still inside the room of Queen Aira, who is now ranked 2nd in Ark.

Aira, who was laying on the bed in a silver negligee, said while swaying her bare legs.

“Theo, how’s that timetable looking? Isn’t it already time to sleep?”

Aira yawned.

“Ah, please wait a minute…”

Meanwhile, I was working hard on the temporary timetable and had to contrast it with the thick booklet for enrollment.

If I had a computer, this would have been finished much faster. Trying to do it manually was much more difficult…

“Aira-nim, Wednesday at 10 AM. How about the ‘Tea Time to Foster the Mind’ lecture? If it’s to your liking, we can attend together.”

“Tea time? It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such a lukewarm thing after becoming the Queen.”

Aira’s expression was not very good… As expected, tea time and Aira didn’t go well together, though it couldn’t be helped.

“But, there are very few courses that a Bronze Class like me can take with Aira-nim who is a Platinum Class.”

This was the problem.

I wanted to make our timetable overlap as much as possible, and coordinate things with her.

Aira, who ranked 2nd out of about 1,000 students, was a Platinum Class.

Meanwhile, I was a Bronze Class, which was no less than the last of the thousand.

Because of that, there were not many subjects that Aira and I could take at the same time.

This was because within Ark, the ‘Class’ division was more important than the grade or family background.

As a Bronze Class, I didn’t have many options to choose from, and as a result, I had no choice but to individually look up schedules until late at night.

Haaaa- Aira continued to yawn.

“Theo, hurry and get up in the same Class as me. This is an order!”

“Yes, I will.”

“And Theo, your stamina seems to be better than before, but it’s still poor.”

Aira’s words made my heart tremble.

“… Have you seen my tests?”

“I heard the people talking about you. Theo, your greatness is by no means the strength of your body. Still, I’d like you to take this.”

Flap, Flap-.

The list of lectures suddenly began to flip at will. The quill next to it also started scribbling something and left a mark.

There laid the name and syllabus of a very *sweaty* subject called ‘Introduction to Combatology’…

  1. What is Combat?
  2. Magic? Weaponry? Which weapon and combat style fit you?
  3. How to handle weapons and artifacts like a piece of cake.
  4. ….

5….

Instructor – Mikhail Heidner.

“Mikhail Heidner. A man who made his name as a mercenary in the Duchy of Angkar. I’ve heard of him before, so I don’t think he’s all talk.”

That sounded nice, but seriously, a physical lecture?

I could tell that it wasn’t going to get any better if I attended this…

However, to preserve Aira’s good mood, I decided to nod. After all, I could use at least one subject as a throwaway card.

“With this, I have completed all 15 credits that I can take. I’ll apply like this.”

Thus, this semester, I took a total of five three-credit subjects.

First and foremost, I had two subjects that overlapped with Aira’s.

‘Tea Time to Foster the Mind”.

‘Pet Animal Hunting for Tamers’.

The rest included ‘Introduction to Combatology’ as well as ‘Understanding Ancient Language’ that Aira just chose, and the last one was ‘Exploring Fairies’.

I wanted to learn more about the ability of my talent ‘Farsight’ to understand ancient language.

Exploring Fairies seemed to be a subject that studied Nymphs and Elves, so I put it in the list.

I hoped that I would be able to apply with this….

The subject registration here seemed to be done by applying directly to a teller window that opened early in the morning. I heard that there were cases where people would set up tents in front of the teller window to get the subjects they wanted.

“Alright, since it’s all done, I’ll go to sleep now.”

“But Your Majesty, you only have 6 credits?”

“That’s good enough. In the first place, I’m a perfect Queen, I have nothing to learn here.”

… Then why did you even come here?

Actually, I had to wonder.

Why exactly did Aira decide to go to Ark?

“Then why did Aira-nim agree to come here?”

“Isn’t it because you have a unique desire to learn this and that, Theo? It’s great to see you working hard to become a better seedling.”

“Are you saying that… you came here to have me educated?”

“Yes.”

Funny, since I did the opposite.

Maybe we were thinking the same thing, just with different perspectives.

Well, Aira and Theo were definitely a peculiar pair.

Thinking so, I could feel a sense of solidarity in this strange place…

T/N: I am back from exams and school projects, tbh it’s the projects that kept me the most busy because they were announced late but the deadlines are early
