A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

066. Demonstration of excessive passion

Weekend a week later.

Trine Pharmacy looked quite busy early in the morning before it opened.

Yuril muttered as he stared at the glass tube containing the whitish liquid.

“…Is this the limit without Snow Lavender?”

Then, Saymint also looked at the glass tube from the side and said.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to replace it with Daswith?”

“Anyway, when it comes to rarity, they are both on the same level.”

At that time, Trine entered the store and looked a little surprised when he saw Saymint.

“Mr. Saymint! It’s been a while. What’s going on here?

Saymint said with a grin.

“How are you? I’m here to help Yuril a little.”

“Is there such a shortage of workers?”

“Rather than that, it’s for Mr. Trine’s sake!”

Yuril hurriedly covered Seimint’s mouth and asked Trine.

“What are you doing here this early in the morning?”

Trine looked at all the medicinal herbs spread out on the table, paused for a moment, and then handed her a note.

“I came here to buy these reagents because I need them.”

“Didn’t you say that the reagents to be used at the academy will now be ordered from somewhere else?”

“Sorry. It’s a bit urgent this time.”

… In the end, Yuril obediently gathered the ingredients written on the note and handed them over to Trine.

“Cat hasn’t been in the workshop much these days. Are you two up to something?”

“I decided to help the Alchemy Department revive the Alchemy Department.”

Saymint suddenly intervened.

“Interesting. Runeology and elemental magic would be more valuable than alchemy.”

Trine shrugged his shoulders once.

And while it seemed like Cat and Saymint were on good terms, they strangely often bickered over things like this.

When Trine paid and left the store,

After some time, Saymint came after him.

“Can I come with you too?”

“Yes? Why?”

“I’m a little interested in the academy Mr. Trine attends.”

***

“It’s an elf…”

“pretty…”

“She is a goddess…”

The alchemy club students stared in fascination at Saymint who entered the club room.

Everyone showed interest in her, even forgetting to prepare for the demonstration in the afternoon.

Cat got annoyed at Trine for no reason.

“What did you bring that druid here for?”

“No, I just wanted to look around.”

Seimint sat down on a chair in the corner and smiled.

“Hehe, I will stay calm and not disturb you.”

But it seemed like the members had no intention of leaving her alone.

“Here’s ice sherbet made with our chiller!”

“We also have acid-flavored Dalgona snacks for which our department has even applied for a patent!”

“Let me show you an amazing magic using alchemy!”

Then Cat looked even more displeased and questioned Trine.

“What did you really bring me here for?”

“No, I’m sorry.”

“If you’re here with the intention of impressing your girlfriends, get out.”

“Don’t be a dick.”

Cat handed Trine a huge, heavy wooden box.

“Take this and go to your knight department classroom.”

“Did you finally decide to hold a demonstration in our classroom?”

“They say the guys in the magic department never want to lend out their classroom.”

… Eventually, as I was carrying luggage and helping with other chores, the time for the demonstration soon arrived.

In attendance were several instructors and student council executives.

In addition, about thirty students came.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came today!”

While the bald senior was giving a speech, Trine spoke quietly to Cat.

“Still, I’m glad a lot of people came.”

But Cat instead frowned and responded.

“Well, I don’t think they’re sitting here with any good intentions.”

After a while, a bald senior held up a machine that looked like a microphone and shouted.

“The first product to be introduced is ‘Pet Boy 2500’, which translates animal speech! We brought a guest to test it!”

Soon Maria entered the classroom, taking Pochi with her.

The bald manager held the microphone up to Pochi.

“Okay then, Pochi! Is there something you want to tell us?”

“Wal, wal, wal!”

Then, surprisingly, the voice of a young child really came from the microphone.

“Let’s play! I’m hungry! Smell!”

“Now Pochi, what do you think of your master Maria-”

Pochi suddenly started running wild.

Running around the classroom,

“It’s narrow! It’s warm! The window!”

By randomly knocking down desks and chairs,

“Toys! Trees! Glitter!”

He rushed towards the screaming audience without mercy and licked them mercilessly.

“It’s delicious! It’s exciting! There’s a lot!”

In the end, the classroom quickly became chaos,

Maria had no choice but to quickly leave with Pochi.

… As the members were tidying up the surroundings, Myeong-yoon said with a cold face.

“You don’t even know that pets are prohibited in the academy, so that’s a penalty point.”

Other students also muttered.

“After all, the kids in the alchemy department are crazy.”

“You make such trivial things.”

“How do you know if that machine is real or fake?”

Then the bald senior looked embarrassed but continued speaking.

“Okay! Then the second invention to be presented is Sanseongman Dalgona, for which we even have a patent!”

The members distributed snacks to everyone.

But the reaction was still strong.

“Could it be that they were making snacks like this with the money for the special activities club activities?”

“The taste is so subtle.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to buy cheap snacks from the market?”

In the meantime, the instructors quietly left the room,

Sweat began to bead on the bald senior’s forehead.

Nevertheless, I forced myself to pretend to be happy and shout out.

“Then let us present our final and proudest invention!”

Then he set up a huge scaffolding in front of the teaching table and shouted.

“It’s a teleportation device!”

Seeing the familiar-looking machine, Trine asked Cat.

“You really gave that whole thing to them?”

“I just gave you the blueprint.”

“Still, it’s amazing that you made it in just a week.”

“If you’re an alchemist, of course you have to do that.”

The bald senior placed a small plush teddy bear on the step stool.

“Then let’s send this doll to the back of the classroom!”

The members gathered around the scaffolding and injected magical energy into it.

Immediately, a tremendous amount of light erupted from the scaffolding, and the teddy bear disappeared somewhere.

“Everyone please turn around!”

Everyone looked to the back of the classroom at the bald senior’s shout.

The teddy bear was there.

However, the limbs were torn apart and all the cotton came out.

“…It was a waste of time.”

As Myeong-yoon stood up and walked out of the classroom, the student executives followed her.

The remaining students slowly left the room and whispered amongst themselves.

“I knew it would be like this. I was expecting it for no reason.”

“This is why the Department of Alchemy was abolished.”

“Now that the student council has taken over, doesn’t the special activities club get disbanded?”

… In the end, the members of the alchemy club sat down in despair.

Seimint comforted the bald senior by stroking his head.

“It’s okay. Failure is the mother of success, so you can try again.”

Meanwhile, Trine glared at Kat with all his might and asked.

“Did you really plan to test such a dangerous machine on me?”

“Well, it’s because they’re inexperienced, but my machine was perfect, right?”

The bald senior suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted.

“Damn it! If this happens, it’s Plan B!”

While Trine admired the manager’s persistence,

On the other hand, I cautiously asked about the sudden ominous feeling that had come upon me.

“Plan B?”

“I will challenge the student council executives to a duel against the special activities club!”

“…yes?”

The bald senior entered the student council room, dragging Trine’s arm.

“Our alchemy club challenges the student council to a duel!”

The student council executives stared at the two in surprise.

Meanwhile, Myeong-yoon reviewed the documents on the desk without even giving them a glance and responded.

“You shamelessly come up with the topic of ruining the demonstration.”

“Oh, thank you for the compliment! But you won’t say you’ll run away from the duel, right?”

The academy had a school rule allowing duels between special activities teams.

However, this does not mean that the duel itself is encouraged.

If left alone, personal duels would become too frequent, making it an unavoidable choice.

No matter what, it would be close to impossible to win against the student council.

… Senior Myungyoon still answered in a calm voice.

“Are you correct in saying that your purpose is the Department of Alchemy?”

“of course!”

“Then I will decline your offer to duel.”

“Why!”

“In the first place, the re-establishment of the department is not an issue that can be decided through a duel between the special activity departments, right?”

“Tsk…”

“Instead, we decided to give the Department of Alchemy an opportunity to re-establish itself in a different form.”

The bald senior’s eyes sparkled at those words.

“Really?! What an opportunity!”

“It has nothing to do with you, so go out.”

“Don’t be funny! Until I tell you-”

“Do you want to be disowned for failing to follow the student council’s instructions?”

At Myung-yoon’s words, the bald senior walked out of the student council with a sob.

Trine tried to chase after him, but-

“Trine. You stay.”

“…yes.”

After the door to the student council room was closed, senior Myungyoon opened his mouth again.

“From now on, what I am saying is prohibited from being revealed to the outside world.”

“All right.”

“In fact, the agenda regarding the re-establishment of the Department of Alchemy is being discussed at the higher levels.”

“Really?”

Senior Myungyoon looked at the documents on his desk.

“First of all, the alchemy club is quite passionate and has a track record, so I thought I would reflect their opinions as well…”

“Well, in the end, I skipped the demonstration today.”

“Anyway, in order for the current alchemy department to be re-established, we need excellent instructors to take charge of them.”

“…Instructor?”

“There were three candidates.”

Myung-yoon handed three pieces of paper to Trine.

“However, one of them declined the offer and one had personality issues so he decided to give up.”

“What about the one left?”

“There are some issues, so I haven’t made a direct recommendation yet.”

“If it’s an issue…”

Trine looked at the three people’s papers and frowned when he saw the last one.

Then senior Myungyoon glared at Trine and said.

“You know what I mean.”

“…yes.”

“Anyway, we ultimately decided to give him a chance.”

“I don’t know if this person will get an offer.”

“Even if I get the offer, one big problem remains.”

“What is it?”

“Those who want to become instructors must be at least stronger than the academy students.”

This time, Myeong-yoon handed Trine a piece of paper with the instructor qualification procedures written on it.

After reading that, Trine’s expression hardened even more.

“Wait… this means…”

“I’ll say it again. Trine, you must never reveal anything about this to the outside world until that day.”

***

From the next day, other instructors and students from the alchemy club came to Cat with numerous letters.

He asked me to become an instructor in the academy’s alchemy department.

There were arguments and concerns for quite a long time, but

As a result, Cat decided to accept the offer.

So, after a brief interview, it was the day of the final practical evaluation.

Cat asked Myeong-yoon while warming up in the academy gym.

“So, are you telling me to duel with the student council president?”

“The Academy is not so mean as to force you into a duel that you will obviously lose.”

“That’s a good thing. Well, unless you’re an angel, you just lie down and eat cake.”

“It won’t be as easy as you think.”

Soon, Kat was approached by her duel opponent.

As soon as Cat saw the student’s face, she frowned.

“…are you kidding?”

Trine stood in front of Cat with a magic sword in his hand.

“I’m sorry. I was blocked too, so I couldn’t tell you in advance.”

“You’re not planning on losing on purpose, are you?”

“If you do something like that, Myungyoon will make you clean the bathroom for a month.”

“Tsk… Well, that’s fine. I wanted to make a deal with you.”

“I will fight with all my heart, so be prepared.”

Cat clicked her tongue once and summoned three white drones.

“If I win, I will be your master this time.”

Trine said while raising his magic sword.

“If I win, call me master this time, not master.”
