The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

I knew it would be like this (1)

To my mother at home.

Are you in good health? Since this is not a formal letter, I will call you mother rather than matriarch.

It’s already been three or four months since I started the graduation process at Sylvania Academy. I think I will be able to go through the graduation process without any major problems. Preparing for the graduation exam is also going smoothly.

There was a time when my heart was filled with joy just seeing Tracyana’s name listed on the list of top students at the Ministry of Magic… It feels strange to think that my long journey of study is coming to an end.

After my studies are completed, I plan to return to my hometown and continue my research. The eccentric image of the Bloomriver family has recently been revamped, and internal research facilities are well-equipped.

I think my mother’s contribution is great. I am truly grateful to you for always working hard as the head of the family.

By the way, as my mother instructed, I am maintaining contact with Ed Ross Taylor.

Last time, he came running to me in the early morning and asked for a personal favor, so I hung out with him. I made it clear that I was out to help the Bloomriver family… but I ended up getting into a lot of trouble with him anyway.

I’m trying to get closer to him as you instructed. But… there’s something I really want to ask.

It may be presumptuous to say this, but isn’t it a very politically dangerous choice to get close to the Ross-Taylor family at this point?

You can also see here that the recent treatment of the Ross-Taylor family, especially by the imperial family, has been a hot potato.

I also heard about the tragedy committed by the matriarch Crepin Ross Taylor.

Of course, the Bloomriver family is not a family full of honor, but wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous to join the same path with a family that stands in such a dangerous position?

In particular, Sylvania Academy is a special environment where children from all kinds of noble families are gathered on this small island.

The Cloel family, the Calamore family, the Whitefeltz family, the Elphelan family, the Anniston family, the Nortondale family, the Islan family, and the Shapilon family… It’s hard to list them all.

Although the scale varies widely, each family has many famous people in their own fields.

If you include not only the children of nobles but also the children of influential people, it would be difficult to count them all by hand.

In a place like this, I feel like it would really give me a headache if people started taking sides and who was taking whose side.

Of course, I know that real politics is always about dividing sides and that we can never be completely free from such power struggles.

However, if the conflict between families intensifies or if each family starts to come together and form a faction… I think it will hurt more than I thought.

I hope it ends on my own terms. Because I’m the type of person who worries a lot. I hope this is a presumptuous worry.

Anyway, I said this because I wanted to express my opinion, but I basically plan to do as my mother said. Just think of it as minor anxiety.

I will focus on preparing for graduation for the time being. I don’t think you need to worry too much.

The problem is… Patriciana.

Although I am helping him with the graduation process in many ways… this thought comes to mind every time I see him.

Is it really okay for him to graduate?

– Boom!

“Sister Tracy!”

“…?”

Patriciana burst into Tracyana’s room, where she was busy writing a letter, with an angry expression on her face.

When Petriciana, who stays in her secret laboratory and doesn’t come out whenever she gets the chance, comes to Tracyana’s room in the Ofilis building, it’s usually when an accident has occurred or is about to happen.

In this case, it is planned to be hit.

“Look at this! I finished the red forget-me-not reagent I mentioned last time!”

“…”

“You don’t even know it’s a reagent because it has almost no magical effect?! Don’t be surprised, this is a really scary potion…! Ugh… Uhehe…”

A red forget-me-not that temporarily inflicts confusion when given to the opponent. The reagent had a worse effect due to Petriciana’s special improvement method.

“It makes you feel hazy and half-asleep, so you can easily reveal your true feelings, or your psychological flaws disappear and you listen to the other person’s requests without hesitation… It’s such a strange magic medicine.”

“…”

“In some ways, it can be seen as a love potion. If you want to check whether the person you like has the same feelings as you, you can mix it with food in moderation and reveal their true feelings. How about that? How about the girls from aristocratic families at the university? “Don’t you think I’ll pay a high price for it?!”

Tracyana quickly put down the quill she was writing the letter with and turned to Patriciana.

“There are some downsides, like being drunk, making it difficult to control your body or making you think a little more hazy… but as time goes by, it all disperses and disappears. Well, short-term memories may also disappear, but… other than that, there are no side effects, so it’s safe. ! How nauseous can you be when you wake up…?”

“Then how is it any different from just alcohol…”

“…Huh…?”

Tracyana sighed as she watched her younger sister explain excitedly.

“It’s not the time to make such insidious potions… Petrin… I have to prepare for graduation…”

“Huh? Well… that’s right… but… there’s no problem…! The graduation exam as well. Well, it will be resolved somehow!”

Tracyana rested her head and narrowed her brows, then glanced at the half-written letter again.

“Anyway, I need to prepare for the clinical experiment. If I explain it to the students in the school building, I’m sure there will be someone who will be interested!”

“You don’t have any friends who can do business like that, Petrin.”

“…”

Patriciana gasped and covered her chest at the sudden arrow of truth.

“I have a friend.”

“There’s no point in lying between us.”

“You can just make yam.”

“That story has been going on for several years now…”

That’s right. Patriciana has no social skills to the point where it can be said she is hopeless.

Among the students confined to the lab, there were quite a few corner princesses who did not get along with others, but Patricia Anna was particularly so.

“My sister… she doesn’t know anything…!”

Petriciana, cornered, took a step back and soon ran out of Tracyana’s room.

– Craudangtang

– Squeak, squeal.

The open door was screeching and shaking in the aftermath.

Traceiana sighed and picked up her quill again. Yet, I felt a strange sense of crisis.

The tip of my nose twitches, and a strange feeling of anxiety creeps up my back.

There are times when I have an intuition that Patricia is going to have an accident… and that was right now.

Fishing Lv 15 Cooking Lv 10 Repair Lv 8 I thought I had neglected the training of basic life skills, but surprisingly, there was quite a bit of growth.

Is this because, no matter what, I have maintained a survival lifestyle and have made it a habit to do basic cabin maintenance?

Some basic life skills have almost reached expert level, so it is time to move on to advanced production skills.

“…”

I was sitting next to the campfire, sweating profusely. After finishing checking the stat window, I wiped my face with a piece of cloth.

I managed to let out my heavy breathing and checked again how exhausted my body was.

It’s been 3 days since the school opening ceremony ended.

The wound was sutured well, so I can now carry out not only my daily life but also the physically demanding work of maintaining the camp without difficulty.

The magic power that had been limited due to the ring’s recoil had almost returned, so it seemed like it was a good time to start training to become stronger.

Above all, the training of daily life skills has made great progress. It is now possible to create a variety of equipment that goes beyond simple daily necessities and can be used as a strategic element.

‘Advanced production technology’

is a skill group that is unlocked once you become somewhat proficient in basic life skills… It allows you to create equipment that has its own special effects or contains various improved elements.

These are the skills that characters invested primarily in the living world use as their ultimate goal. The conditions are often very strict.

A tremendous amount of effort went into unlocking both magic engineering and elemental infusion.

What I am currently personally aiming for is the ‘bow making’ skill.

Once the skill called ‘Artisan’s Soul’ is unlocked, you can use a bow that you have made yourself to produce much stronger power…

Even with a bow that you have made yourself, you can receive various stat bonuses by itself, making it a very deceptive tech tree. I remember being famous for. When it receives multiple bonus abilities in double and triple layers, its power is so strong that it is famous as the ‘raw eating tree’ because it can be eaten raw.

Of course, no matter how good the result is, if it takes too much time to get there, efficiency will deteriorate.

Life skills were also neglected by most users because the process of reaching a high level was so arduous and difficult.

In the case of bow making skills… the prerequisites for acquisition are as follows.

Dexterity proficiency level 15, Woodworking proficiency level 15, Design proficiency level 15, Hunting proficiency level 20, Repair proficiency level 10. Bow series proficiency level 15.

All of these conditions must be met to open an advanced crafting skill slot and make a bow possible.

I’ve been going through this mess for the past few years, but my woodworking skill level is now level 18. Even though it seems like there wasn’t a single day in that long time when I didn’t touch wood.

But honestly, it was too cruel to raise the mastery of not only carpentry but also other skills beyond 15.

“Hmm…”

Now, if I just raise my repair skill a little, I will be able to make my own bow.

There is nothing particularly difficult about sourcing materials. I also remember everything about high-performance bows.

The beast slayer, the lightning-struck thousand-year-old wooden bow, and the Cohelton-style shortbow come to mind, but whatever it is, it’s important that it’s homebrew.

Fortunately, unlike magic engineering supplies, it is good that no combination formula is required.

“Ed, are your wounds okay?”

“It doesn’t hurt at all? I don’t think the wound was that deep considering the amount of bleeding.”

“Thank goodness…”

Well, the bow isn’t the problem right now.

As for Yenika, she wasn’t sweating profusely… but she still looked like she was quite tired.

Looking around, there were logs with half their bark peeled off all over the camp.

It is so thick that it is much thicker than several people lying on top of each other.

Jenica and I came to camp after morning classes and worked all day trimming logs.

Cutting down trees was done with magic and mainly carried by spirits, so it was quite efficient… but it still took the same amount of effort.

Still, I felt like my emotions were limitless. When we first built the cabin, it took weeks just to trim this many logs.

However, now that we are collaborating with Yenika, the efficiency has increased not two to three times, but one hundred to one thousand times.

“I need to redraw the design drawings first. Building a crude cabin and building a proper two-story building have different levels of difficulty.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to the experts?”

“Well, you can get help with the design part, but… it’s better to build it yourself. “I thought it would be better.” The

reason why there is such a fuss is because work is in progress to expand the cabin. The

plan was to neatly raise the building from a simple, shabby one-story cabin to a proper two-story cabin.

Lortel took the initiative and built it himself. They offered to give it to me, but I declined. There are two reasons.

One is that the level of proficiency experience for life skills that increases after completing such a huge construction project is enormous.

Second, since it is my camp, I want to expand it with my own hands.

As a result, after the bachelor’s class was over, it was a continuous work of refining log work all day.

“If possible, I would like to create the feeling of a properly finished building rather than the feeling of a crude log cabin… but it is still too much for me. I can’t help but feel a bit clunky.”

“This is great, Ed!” In fact, it would be no problem to say that the spirits of Yenica provide 100 people’s worth of labor… but they seem rather rewarding.

Surprisingly, the labor is very rewarding.

I wonder if he likes it?

I also think about such a cheeky thought. Since they are spirits, they can’t always have the same way of thinking as humans, right?

“But… I have to pay attention to my bachelor’s life as well. Ed is an honor student, but won’t it be hard to take classes if he loses too much stamina?”

“It’s okay. Now I feel like I have become somewhat adept at distributing my stamina. “There’s still a lot of work left to do, so I’ll have to

work harder to get my spurts up,” I said, and took a deep breath. It felt good to feel so high because it was the first time in a while that I had exercised properly. My

whole body was soaked in sweat, so I rested. Yenika hesitates and touches the tips of her fingers.

“If you’re tired, you can take a break. Because expanding the cabin is not urgent. Just go at your own pace.”

“Oh no… it’s not like that… but there’s a lot of work left to do?”

“Hmm…”

I was thinking about what to say, but decided to just do it.

“Just live a bachelor’s life . “You’re very busy.”

Now that the scenario is nearing its end, we have to start preparing for Seongchangryong Bellbroke.

The most important thing is to unite influential families and various forces… but I don’t know where to start.

Family It seems that Tanya is using some skill to rally the faction.

I heard rumors about it, but I couldn’t confirm it with myself.

I heard a rumor that Tanya returned to Ofilis Hall when school started this semester, but I was busy recovering from my injuries. I was busy, and Tanya was very busy with her work as student council president and family work, so I wasn’t able to meet her properly.

Still, since my blood-related younger sister has returned, isn’t it right that I should at least stamp her face?

Tanya will be busy all the time, so I can make time for her too. I thought several times that it would make sense to go to the Obel Hall. I just didn’t have the time.

Once I meet Tanya, we will probably be able to talk about power unification. The detailed policy will be decided after we meet.

Imperial Family On the power side, there is Princess Fenia. She seems to be in a fairly favorable position, so I feel more confident than I thought.

However, the imperial power dispute is in full swing, so I don’t know how far they can afford to believe my story and participate.

At least, it is the most likely possibility. The place is… the Telos Church.

“For now, let’s finish today’s work here.”

I said while wiping my sweat.

“…”

Saint Clarice believes most of what I say about the Holy Spear Dragon Velbroke. She will give it to you.

In that case, the forces of the church she is rallying around… will give up that power more easily than you think.

The problem is finding the right time to say such a serious story. Saint Clarice was a new demon than you might think.

Sometimes She sometimes lives as a saint, Clarisse, and sometimes as a childish noblewoman, Kylie Ekne, who lives a bachelor’s life.

Because the lights flash from east to west, we cannot meet properly. In the first place, the difference in status is enormous, making it difficult to schedule a private meeting. This part is also the same for the princess.

First, let’s try to find her somehow. Saint Clarice’s help is absolutely necessary in subduing Belle Broke.

*

“I… I’m going to go to Cleric’s Monastery for a while… Ugh…”

As if reading those concerns, Saint Clarice came to the cabin camp that evening.

Perhaps because he had gone secretly from others, he was accompanied by only a couple of key guards.

“…yes?”

“They said you definitely don’t have to attend this year’s prayer meeting… Why don’t they say they’ll give you a certificate at the academic level… I don’t need this kind of kindness…”

She always behaved discreetly among students with a benevolent and mature demeanor. .

The flowing white hair and sacred-looking red bow hairpin are still the same even after a long time. Doesn’t every single thing look like a luxury item?

However, Clarice, who appeared at the camp, was very scared and in a state of tears.

“Of course, as a saint, leading a prayer meeting is a very important and sacred task… but it’s okay to spend a year immersed in the romance of a bachelor’s degree… I’ve already discovered the taste of a Sylvanian bachelor’s degree…”

” …Saint…”

“Plus, the food at Cleric’s Monastery is so terrible that you wonder if this is really okay…”

Even if you are not a member of the Church of Telos, you can go to Cleric’s Monastery. It is such a famous place that everyone has heard about it at least once.

A place not far from Sylvania. A place that comes to a place near the end of the County of Fes while traveling up the western coast of the continent.

The magnificent monastery was built on a small rocky island on the coast… There is no bridge leading there or a dock where boats can land.

However, twice a day in the coastal area, a sandy road leading to the monastery opens due to the changing tides.

It’s a place that you can only enter for a short time… It’s a place where you feel completely disconnected from the world. I get the feeling that it is a land of great religious significance.

The size of the rocky island is small, but the scale of the Cleric Monastery built on it is enormous. In addition, because it is a strictly prohibited area, men cannot get near it at all unless it is a high-ranking priest who can be recognized by name or a maintenance worker who inevitably enters. At best, he would be a prosperous emperor or an archbishop.

“Besides, I heard that there are a lot of VIPs attending this prayer meeting for some reason… I feel like I’m going to have to cry and eat my mustard.”

“Distinguished guests?”

“Yes… there are usually a lot of VIPs coming, but this year it looks like people with higher status are coming. What should I do? Since I am the face of the Telos Church, I should go with a happy heart…” “

Who specifically? “Are you going to change your mind and call me a saint?”

Saint Clarice sighed while looking at the bonfire and then answered.

“A lot of people come in one way or another, but if I had to pick just one representative person…”

The name that popped up next was indeed a familiar one.

“It is said that Princess Persica of the Imperial Cloel family is coming in person.”

I quietly narrowed my eyes.
