PAID Chapter 209
Time flew by, and before anyone knew it, the day before the summer festival had arrived. The atmosphere at Bellium Academy was almost indescribably charged with excitement.
Three days earlier, all lectures, including the brief morning theory classes, had been canceled, and the professors were wandering around, evaluating the students' projects in advance.
Our club's artificial dungeon was no exception.
Professor Jaina was the first to visit, leaving in amazement at how we came up with such an idea. The word must have spread, as other professors followed suit, each taking a turn to experience it and reacting similarly to Professor Jaina. The theme was so unfamiliar to people in this world that it sparked an additional layer of fascination.
“It's all done!” one of the mages declared.
Of course, we didn’t build the dungeon ourselves. The mages from the Red Tower, who practically begged to be worked to the bone, took care of it. Our role ended with providing the idea and the blueprints.
The structure and content of the dungeon were designed to pique the curiosity of the mages, and when we promised to give a magic lecture after the work was done, their enthusiasm became almost overwhelming.
“Wow, wow… This is…!”
After learning mid-level status ailment removal spells, they went around testing them by casting status ailments on their perfectly healthy colleagues. It made me wonder what kind of people they were.
“This is the first time I’m seeing students from other academies,” I said.
“Same here,” Priscilla added.
“Well, that’s expected. They were only mentioned in passing before. As for me, I saw plenty of them back when I could move freely,” Laura replied, brushing off Priscilla’s hair as she spoke.
“I heard the two academies chosen for the exchange are Laila Academy and Rosemary Academy. Do you know much about them? I imagine they must be quite different from here,” I asked, curious.
Although Erestica had provided information on the incoming students, it was mostly personal profiles, leaving the nature of the academies themselves somewhat vague.
“Both are academies that only accept nobles. Fundamentally, they are very different from Bellium Academy, which is merit-based. Laila Academy, for instance, has a student from one of the empire’s three great ducal families. I’ve heard Laila Academy had a lot of fun mocking Rosemary Academy over it, given their rivalry.”
A rivalry, huh? The word brought back unpleasant memories.
As I tried to push away the memories of the interschool competition I participated in during my first year at Nobel University, I noticed two carriages approaching in the distance.
“They’re coming.”
The two carriages were traveling side by side, almost as if to emphasize the rivalry between the two academies. It even seemed like they were picking up speed.
