chapter 28
28 – Academy Advent (2)
“… … … … … … … … … .”
I stood like that for a while, looking at the slanted signboard.
The professors, who were in a festive mood, began to look at each other silently, erasing their laughter one by one, as if they felt something unusual.
‘This is what it is.’
yes.
I admit that psionics is an academic system that relies heavily on innate talent.
It’s because it’s a power that only a select few among men can accidentally awaken to.
In addition, since the system of such awakening abilities is Jung-gu Heating, it is natural that there will be difficulties in educating as an integrated academic system.
But anyway, isn’t this too much?
‘It can’t be like this.’
The process of attacking the Sky Tower required strength and knowledge from various fields.
Not only silk swords and magic, but also various alchemy knowledge, medicine, and even gigantic building construction knowledge are sometimes required in a class that will appear someday.
Of course, psionics were also one of those fields that were absolutely necessary.
I spoke to the professors in a subdued voice.
“Professor of Psionics, come out.”
Startle!
The professors cast their gazes behind them all at once.
Soon, an elderly grandfather, a professor with a white beard, walks through the women and comes forward.
“You?”
“My name is Brosh, the representative professor of the Department of Psionics. Majesty.”
While most of the other professors are middle-aged women, only the psionic professor in front of him looks noticeably older.
I comforted him first.
“I can tell just by looking at it. You have suffered a lot in the past.”
“Your Highness the Prince… .”
The elderly grandfather professor is in tears as if he recalled the sadness of the past.
I frowned and clicked my tongue at the other professors.
“No matter how minor it is, it’s because it’s so condescending. Tsk.”
When I openly showed displeasure, they hurriedly made excuses with restless faces.
“That, that… Apparently, the number of students is small… Moreover, the board of directors, especially Dean Benita, who also serves as the chairman of the board, cut the budget drastically… .”
“Dean Benita?”
The female professor took notice here and there, and then began to mimic Benita’s vocal chords as if she were telling a story.
“’Sa-i-oh-Nick—? Foot! After all, isn’t that just a small room to meditate with your eyes closed? Why do we need a good facility?’ You shortened it… .”
‘Benita… .’
I sighed as I recalled the image of Benita, the Dark Elf dean.
In previous rounds, psionics… To be precise, there was a tendency to look down on psionic magicians who only had ‘men’.
At that time, her tendency was annoying, so I sharpened my blade and thoroughly surrendered to the depths of her body, mind, and heart, and imprinted it and corrected it… .
‘In other words, it means that at this point, I still have that bad habit.’
I think I need to have a deep conversation with her sooner or later.
Even after that, I asked Professor Brosh of the Psionics Department various questions to examine the current situation.
‘What is this… .’
The longer Professor Brosh spoke, the more I could not help but frown.
Aside from the facilities, there are not enough professors to teach students right away.
Even the few professors who are preparing for the academy entrance exam that will be held in a few days are in the middle of preparing for the night.
‘I can’t help but look at it.’
Due to the nature of the department, you may not be able to receive a loud spotlight, but shouldn’t you go at least in the middle?
Besides, I’m also a psionic magician.
The deep sadness of people in the same industry resonated loudly in my heart.
I took the checkbook out of my pocket and picked it up.
“Ugh… !”
“!!”
“… gulp.”
Did everyone foresee what was going to happen from now on?
The gathered professors stared at me with eyes wide open, swallowing saliva.
square square.
‘First one.’
I write the amount on the check and hand it to Professor Brosh.
“First of all, I’ll remodel the entire building and raise it a few more floors. If you use a magic builder, you can raise it as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
“Ouch, ooh… !”
The old grandfather professor checked the amount on the check and grabbed his chest with a shocked look on his face.
‘The second chapter.’
square square.
“Let’s put up another annex for practice only in the back.”
“Huh, huh, huh… .”
Professor Brosh began to gasp.
square square.
‘The third chapter.’
Write the check again and hand it over.
“Not only buildings, but also various furniture, educational materials, and even beach snacks for cadets, carefully select only the highest quality and fill them all with this money.”
“Huh!!”
Old Professor Brosh started twitching like an epileptic.
square square.
‘The next fourth chapter.’
I wrote the amount on the check and looked around.
“Anyway, the surrounding environment is a bit empty. Psionic is a skill that is greatly influenced by mentality. Of course, the mental health of students should also be taken care of.”
In particular, men these days are inevitably shrunken and passive compared to women.
I said, handing the fourth check to Professor Brosh.
“With this money, create a nice garden that is good for your mental health and surround it all around the building.”
“You mean the garden?”
“By the way, make sure to take thorough anti-crime measures for female cadets who secretly spy on men studying.”
Brosh broke into a cold sweat and held up the check with trembling hands.
buzzing.
All the other professors’ envious and jealous gazes were directed at Brosh.
I also asked other professors, including Professor Brosch.
“Don’t all the cadets who will be entering live in the dormitory?”
“That’s right.”
“Anyway, if there are only a few men among tough women, there must be a lot of things to worry about. What is the current status of the men’s dormitory facility and the crime prevention measures?”
“That, that… .”
Professors sweat profusely at my question.
“It would be obvious without seeing it.”
He must have received some consideration as he was a man, but it would be the same as the women’s dormitory.
‘Then I can’t.’
To be honest, it’s hard for me to sympathize, but… … Apparently, the general social atmosphere was that the general trend of the era was that men should be more considerate.
square square.
Write down a new fifth check.
“With this money, the male dormitory can be expanded at least two to three times larger than the space per person in the female dormitory… no. I will discuss this matter separately through the dean.”
As the storm of checks subsided, the professors who were watching began chatting with the people next to them, wiping away cold sweat.
“Boo, I envy you… .”
“Still, being a man is overprotective—”
“This lady! You’re a weak man with no mana! Of course I have to protect you!”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
He was a man whose mana affinity had converged to zero since the cataclysm 300 years ago.
Since then, the perception that she is weak compared to women who have increased mana affinity has no choice but to settle down.
I gave Professor Brosch in the Psionics Department a few more instructions.
“And the recruitment of professors—”
“Ah, it seems difficult right now. The talent pool in this field is so small… .”
“is it.”
I cross my arms and think for a moment.
I had no choice but to give him a temporary prescription.
“If you don’t have enough hands for the time being, I’ll go in as an assistant to your professors and help with the lectures.”
“Uh, how dare you tell the prince… !”
He hurriedly withdrew with a bewildered face.
“I don’t have enough hands right now, so what are you going to do? We need to help this country too. Surely you are not doubting my qualifications and skills?”
“Oh, that can’t be! Who would defy the psionics of the imperial court! I’m just sorry… .”
I smiled softly as if telling me not to be burdened.
“Due to the nature of psionic abilities, there must be many joint lectures and practice sessions with various female departments. If I become a teaching assistant, it will be easier to control the students, so it won’t be bad.”
“Well, if that’s the case… .”
A thought that suddenly crossed my mind suggested one more thing.
“Come to think of it, I want to visit the entrance examination center in a few days. It would be good to see with my own eyes what kind of talent has come.”
“If that’s it——”
So I discussed things with him.

Late evening when the day gets dark.
Feria, who had just returned from work at the imperial castle, was standing with her sister Lilia in the yard holding a wooden sword.
Is it the power of the Sky Tower mark? Or was Prince Regid’s ‘mana’ something special?
Even though Lyria had yet to enter the Sky Tower and never received a reward, she began to regain her energy little by little since that day.
A miraculous gift that no one expected.
The two sisters hugged each other that night and again shed tears for a long time.
after a few days like that.
Lilia gradually recovered to the point where she could live her daily life little by little without overdoing it.
The good news didn’t stop there.
She heard the news that, thanks to Prince Regid’s consideration, her sister Lilia was offered special admission regardless of the results of the academy entrance exam.
‘I’m sure he took such measures out of consideration for me.’
The day I received the news.
Feria once again fell down at his feet and carefully kissed his instep with love and submission.
‘Because if you do it on the back of your hand, they might curse you for being too arrogant… .’
And for some reason, kissing the foot wasn’t bad either.
When I fell down in front of him and kissed his feet, the feeling that the deep part of my lower abdomen was trembling and warmed up was very pleasant.
A few days after that… .
Finally, Feria led Lyria with great determination and raised a wooden sword in the yard of her house.
“Lilia. It’s still hard on your body, so don’t overdo it. I just watch my sister and try to copy her slowly one at a time. Understand?”
