Chapter 547.2: Guardian Spirits of the Academy

It seems that if an outsider attacked the academy, Weena Rhyn had to deal with them. To fulfil the contract with the spirits, she couldn’t stop attacking until the spirit decided that the sanction was sufficient.

「The spirit’s eyes can’t be deceived, so in some cases, I have to kill them against my will」

In addition, the spirits could read the emotions of the enemy and even determine if they were feeling remorse or if they were lying.

In other words, the degree of sanction would be rather severe against those who had surrendered but thought that they could get revenge later.

The degree of the sanction also varied considerably depending on the position of the other party and the degree of hostility.

If a hostile organization hurts a student in the academy, they were doomed, no questions asked. However, if it was someone friendly to the school… For example, if a graduate raised their hand because a student mocked them, a simple apology was all that was needed.

In some cases, the academy may be at fault, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the spirits who judge the degree of sanction. Even if the other party was a Saint, a felon, or even the King, the sanction would still be enforced.

「It was impossible to keep him, an evil person, in the academy without a title. Just being Romio’s guardian was not enough to convince the spirits, so he needed the title of a temporary staff member」

「Even Zelos Reed, can be a staff member?」

「Aah, you mean, is it fine for us to accept a sinner?」

「Nn」

「You see, as I said before, laws made by humans are meaningless to the spirits that judge them. In addition, if you are talking about him who has taken the lives of many people, the number of people that I have directly taken is hundreds of times greater than the number of people that he has killed」

Weena Rhyn then shrugged her shoulders after saying so.

「I’ve traveled around the world for a long time, fought on countless battlefields, and fought against countries. Even now, some countries still have me listed as a terrible criminal」

Come to think of it, she had also killed a nobleman who messed with the academy, right? Well, no wonder she would be considered as their enemy.

「And such a person is acting as the Director of the academy, right? Well, it just goes to show that spirits don’t care what kind of sins you’ve committed」

As a result, Fran, an outsider who had attacked Zelos Reed, who was now an academy employee, had triggered the sanctions.

「But there is one thing I owe you an apology for」

「What is it?」

「 To lessen the sanctions against you, I misled the guardian spirit, Berthoudi, by pretending that you were related to the Academy. Specifically, it’s when I said, “To you, who have been offered a position as a special instructor and a short-term transfer plan”. Instead of treating you like someone from outside the academy who almost killed someone from the academy, I decided to treat you like someone from the academy that got into a fight with someone from here」

(TLN: Reference ch544)

I see. So, there was a loophole like that, huh? She had a letter of introduction from Alistair, and since Weena Rhyn actually recognized her as a related individual, she was then treated as a related on the spot by the spirits.

And it seems Alistair’s letter of introduction was particularly influential. It was said that just having this letter of introduction was enough for a minor assault case to be judged as no problem. That’s why even Fran, who was involved in an attempted murder case, was only detained.

For a moment, I wondered why she hadn’t told Alistair that information, but then I thought, why would she need to?

It was obvious that one shouldn’t be messing on the academy or being hostile to Weena Rhyn. It was also common sense that someone should not be rude to someone who was about to hire them.

It’s the same as someone warning an acquaintance who was going to a job interview at a big company with 「Don’t be rude at the office」 or 「Don’t insult the Chairman of the company and make him angry」.

I heard that if we pass the interview, they usually tell us about it, but I guess they didn’t think it was necessary to tell us. As we had a letter of introduction, some mischief was allowed. It was just that this time, that wasn’t enough.

Oh, that was right. There’s another mystery.

『We had attacked Weena Rhyn, right…? So, we actually did some damage, didn’t we?』

She had slashed her with Heaven Judgement, and Urushi too has hurt her a little, right? Wouldn’t our sanction be increased by the spirits?

「Yeah, I’ve told you in the beginning that you could resist, didn’t I? That’s why I permitted you to do that」

So, by Weena Rhyn’s permission, it was treated as a mock battle, huh? In other words, she had said a precautionary line first so that Fran could resist.

「But Fran was much stronger than I expected. Well, it was also because I hadn’t calculated you had the support of Master. I should have told her that she could hurt me, not that she could resist as much as she wanted. The spirit then judged that you were resisting more than you were allowed to. I’m sorry」

Weena Rhyn bowed her head as she said so.

The surprise attack she had done to Zelos Reed was offset by receiving some damage and being restrained. Her attack on Weena Rhyn too was offset by receiving some damage from Weena Rhyn. And the fear she had caused to the students was forgiven by the apology she made afterward. That seemed to be the case.

However, the problem remained.

『You said that she has been offered a position as a special instructor and a short-term transfer plan, right? Does that mean it’s already decided?』

「That’s the problem, isn’t it? In the first place, if you think about what Fran has been doing since she came to this academy, there’s no factor to increase her likability. I’m not going to say, “I’m going to make you a member of our prestigious academy, shiver and be grateful!” I’m not even going to say that. But for now, that title is the only reason Fran is allowed to be here by Berthoudi」

『What if she refuses?』

「…If you refuse, I think you’ll have to deal not only with me but with the spirits as well」

Doesn’t that mean we don’t have the right to refuse at all!?

「Don’t worry. You can’t quit immediately, but if you work for a couple of weeks, the spirits will be satisfied. That’s how long it will take to work for a short period of time to be completed」

Well, by listening to her explanation, I could tell that it was a necessary procedure… It was probably because she had made a decision for Fran on her own.

But even so… Not only an instructor but a transfer student too? Doesn’t that mean she’s going to be a student here? I wonder if she will be fine…

However, Fran nodded easily at her words.

「Understood, I’ll be that special…?」

「Special instructor and short-term transfer student」

「That’s fine then」

『Fran, are you sure?』

「Nn? In the first place, that was my intention; it’s the same as passing the interview after all」

Apparently, she didn’t have any particular thoughts about Weena Rhyn. So, she casually accepted Weena Rhyn’s words.

「If we stay here, we can keep an eye on Zelos Reed」

『Well, you’re right』

Whether or not the opportunity for revenge came around, she was not going to give up and let it pass her by here.

「Are there a lot of spirits in this academy?」

「Yeah, There aren’t many places as crowded with spirits as here, you know?」

「If so, I can practice using spirit magic by staying here. So, it’s a good thing」

「Haah… That’s good for you then. Thank you very much for accepting it. Now I don’t have to be angry with A-chan anymore… Aah, as an apology for the trouble, I’ll at least offer you a raise in your salary. But do you have anything else you want?」

「…I want to have a mock battle with Weena Rhyn」

「Huh? With me? I don’t mind though, but…」

Rather, the major reason we came to this academy was because of her interest in Weena Rhyn. She wanted to see the strength of the strongest High Elf in the world. And although she had experienced that strength once, I guess she wanted to fight some more.

Weena Rhyn, who was obviously not a battle junkie, chuckled at her.

「Your face is cute, but you’re quite greedy, aren’t you?」

「?」

「Well, just wait for it. In the meantime, I look forward to working with you for a short time」

「Nn. I’ll be in your care」
