Chapter 361: An Omen of Busyness
"They actually took on such a heavy workload for me while I was away."
Sivi lay on the table and rubbed his hair in a mess without an image: "First we have to write letters of visit to those colleges that are more closely related to us, and then we have to visit those colleges one by one...... What about my personal time? β
"Sister Sophia said that it was because you had too much personal time that she found you these jobs."
Alyssa replied with a wry smile.
She sorted out the list of the academies that Sivi had to go to and placed them on Sivi's workbench.
"Is that guy really at the instigation?" Sivi took the list and flipped through it quickly.
Miss Fett agreed.
"Alas......"
Sivi let out a long sigh.
Then he began to think about this trip.
If you want to run through these scattered academies, you have to go around the Eastern Plains almost halfway, and in addition to that, he also has to visit other academies that are not part of this loose alliance of the Xiwei Organization - in addition to trying to improve the friendliness, he also has to use this to confuse the eyes of the Seven Yao Mage Association.
Even if you want to take a ride on the Tassel Falcon, if you want to visit all the colleges on the list, I'm afraid it will take more than a month.
In the end, he had to go to the Sanctuary to confirm the follow-up of the disappearance of the Holy Maiden and the tragic death of the Holy Lady and the Holy Dependent.
Not only that, but the third practical exam at Adric Academy has also begun, although the students are told that they are allowed to move freely during this time, and the consequences of all actions can only be borne by themselves.
But actually. Now that there are only more than a hundred systematically selected students in the Adric Academy, each of them is a valuable resource of the Academy, how can they really be left to fend for themselves.
In case these little guys really get into trouble, it is he and the professors of the academy who end up cleaning up the mess.
Thinking about it, his schedule was almost full in the next few months......
I hope that there will be no more messy things to add to my burden.
Sivi prayed to herself as she asked Alyssa, "Speaking of which, what about Sophia?" β
"I don't know what to do...... I haven't seen Sister Sophia since the morning. Alyssa shook her head.
Could it be that Sophia is in the library again and has lost track of time?
Just as Sivi was thinking this, there was a knock on the door outside the dean's door.
So he immediately straightened his face, smoothed his hair quickly, and supported his chin with both hands. Showing an incomparably majestic look. In a deep voice, he said, "Please come in." β
The probe came in with a student from the blue class.
"Hello Dean." He bowed awkwardly to Sivi with some restraint, and then said incoherently, "We're in an interest class now...... I, I'm reporting the basics of alchemy...... Today should have been to learn the dissolution of pro-demon metals...... But Professor Lange hasn't come yet......"
Originally, what happened to each class, and the people who came to report it were their respective class leaders - those four little guys were quite familiar with Xiwei, and there would be no stage fright. But yesterday all four of them were captured by Franconian and taken to Plague City. So now if something happens. Those students can only find someone to report to the dean's office again.
It can well be imagined. The unlucky ghosts who are elected are definitely those who are not good at socializing, so it is normal for them to speak so incoherently.
Professor Lange & SΓΆhne...... It's Sophia. Sivi touched his chin and frowned slightly: "Franconia is not here either...... Eliza. I've already taught you about the dissolution of demonic metal, so now you can be a temporary professor. β
"Huh? But wouldn't it be better for you to go by yourself, teacher? β
The girl asked, tilting her head.
"I'm a little worried about Sophia, now go take a look at her room."
Sivi stood up and said, "I'm the only one in this academy who has access to other people's rooms without consent. β
- Adric College. Sophia's room β
Sophia's room doesn't have the slightest girlish vibe, but more like the room of the old witches in fairy tales.
The room hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated, making the whole room look dark, and a homemade pumpkin-shaped magic lamp sprinkled orange light on the ceiling.
In the center of the room was not the same desk as the other professors' rooms, but a large and astonishing crucible with purple magical flames burning underneath, and the cauldron of unknown composition was still bubbling with a green liquid.
There were a few messy clothes on the floor, wands of different styles, and a huge number of magic books everywhere - if it weren't for the magic flames that prescribed the fuel, maybe a single spark could turn the room into a sea of fire.
The girl who came to visit Xiwei on this trip fell to the ground in disheveled clothes, her face was red, she was wheezing hard, and her whole person seemed to be unconscious.
"It's so hot, it looks like I have a fever."
Sivi picked up the girl in the pile of clothes and put her on the bed.
According to his speculation, Sophia must have had a high fever and forced herself to get up and continue working, but she passed out when she was wearing her clothes.
"West... Dimension...... Is it? Sophia asked confusedly.
"Well, you can rest well today." Sivi touched the girl's red hair, which looked a little dry because she never maintained it.
"It's okay...... Just drink a little water......" The girl seemed to struggle to sit up, but she couldn't even do it.
"Take care of your illness, this is the dean's order." So Xiwei decisively pressed her back again: "The holy water produced by our academy only heals pain, and is not effective for diseases. β
"Don't ...... If I'm not there...... Those documents are yours to ...... What to do with ......," said the girl in a weak voice.
"There's always a way to do this." Sivi said toughly, "And if you continue to be so stubborn......"
"I'm not afraid...... Threat ......"
"Then I'll throw your alchemy notes into the cauldron."
ββ¦β¦ Bad apple. β
So the girl immediately compromised quietly.
It didn't take long for Sophia to fall into a deep sleep. Sivi looked at the girl's sleeping face, and it was only now that he realized that he seemed to have ignored the girl's ...... No, not just Sophia, but also Alyssa Franconia, Alice and Evanterine. If it weren't for the silent efforts they had been working behind their backs, Sivi alone would never have been able to run the Adric Academy to the current level.
"Sida, please keep watch over Sophia."
After calling Sida, who was hanging out on an unknown island, Sivi explained to her.
Because of Franken's departure, Edric is now short of manpower, and even Fitt has been sent to class by Sivid.
The only person who can take care of Sophia is Tio who plays with Theo when he has free time, and Sida, who wanders around the academy when Theo is not free.
Having said that, this guy doesn't seem to be of much use other than increasing the computing power of the three sages a little...... It can't be compared with the cost performance of Fit......
With a mess in his mind, Sivi walked straight out of the castle and sighed at the gloomy sky.
"I don't know if you're bringing an olive branch or a short sword, but since you're here, please show your face......" (To be continued......
