Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

study group

The academy’s grades are broadly divided into three categories.

Theory, practice, and assignments.

The assignments are conducted according to the class method for each subject, so the two things you need to prepare for during the exam period are theory and practical skills.

In general, the weight of theory is more important for first and second year students, and practical skills are more important for third year students who are about to graduate.

However, in the end, if one of the theory and practice is ruined, high grades cannot be expected, so both are important.

One thing to be aware of is that the academy is never a space full of youth and romance.

A fiercely competitive race in which if you make a mistake, you will fall as it is. It was a battlefield without bullets, like a jungle of the weak and strong.

of course it has to be Actually, the career path after graduating from the academy is very limited.

The most envied profession is by far the executioner, but it was a job that only a few elites could challenge, so most of them only dreamed of it.

Court wizards are completely out of the question.

Beyond simple skills, the basic identity has to support it. Of course, it is not that there are no court wizards from commoners, but such cases are possible only if they have made a contribution in the war or have special achievements.

There is also a way to live as a scholar by belonging to the Magic Tower.

However, the name is virtually unknown to the outside world, and it does not receive a lot of money or power, so it was essential to have a passion to live only by exploring magic for the rest of my life.

Most of the others make contracts with nobles, wealthy people, or corporations, and live as freelancers.

As science progressed, the wizard’s status gradually declined, but even so, magic was still a very useful feat.

In fact, all of this had nothing to do with me.

It’s just a basic setting that supports the original worldview, and my current job as a phantom thief has nothing to do with my academy grades anyway.

But I’m starting to change my mind little by little.

“Ah-oh···. It’s very difficult.”

Rachel grumbles and reads the book.

Can you imagine? That Rachel is reading a book.

That Rachel who only wanted to spread sleep in class every day! I’m studying!

Oh my gosh. Many times she doubted her eyes at the unbelievable sight, but she was really trying hard to study while looking through the book. Although it didn’t feel right.

“Rachel. Why are you studying?”

Without realizing it, I spit out such a stupid question.

Then Rachel took her eyes off the book and asked what nonsense it was.

“What? You call that a question? It’s the midterm exam period, so I’m studying.”

“No, you’ve never done it before, so why don’t you come now?”

“Come back. Why are you all of a sudden?”

Rachel, who had raised her side and threatened me, buried her head in the book again and spoke quietly.

“If my grades were lower and my scholarship was cut off, would you take responsibility?”

“Ah, that was it.”

Actually, something was strange.

Obviously, in the past, when I asked if it was okay to sleep like this, I said that I had no interest in sexuality, and I suddenly became naive, so I asked why.

Anyway, grades don’t matter.

As the sole examiner of the Lupin Foundation, I would like to tell you that my grades do not count toward the scholarship criteria, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as I would be suspicious if I did.

Anyway, even Rachel, who had built up a wall with her studies all her life, was looking at the book as if a fire had fallen on her foot, so naturally, I felt impatient and even a sense of crisis.

Of course, sex itself has nothing to do with it.

As I said before, even if you are the last in the entire school, there is no problem living as a phantom thief.

What I was worried about was the basic magic skill itself rather than the grades.

The bearded enforcer I met yesterday said:

The method that relies on individuality magic has clear limitations. If you do not build a solid foundation for magic, you will eventually hit the limit.

As if to prove his words, he never used personality magic throughout the battle.

Using only basic magic, it completely overwhelms me.

The conclusion is in line with what I thought last night.

need to be stronger

To do that, don’t rely too much on gem absorption alone.

It’s true that my style right now is overly focused on magic.

What if I meet the opposite sex that completely destroys my magic?

Rather than just leaving it to chance, you should have insurance in place for such situations.

In other words, it was necessary to build a solid foundation according to the words of the executor so that it could respond to any variable.

This midterm exam may be a good opportunity for him.

This is an opportunity to objectively check where my magic skills are right now.

There is a total of 2 weeks left until the midterm exam.

The exam lasts for a week, so if you prepare in the meantime, you have about 3 weeks left.

From an objective point of view, it is not a leisurely schedule.

On the contrary, if you think of it as starting now, it is a fairly tight deadline.

Can you really improve your grades?

Simultaneously doing phantom thieves activities at night?

Well. just try it once.

There is a way I thought of.

“Rachel.”

“Don’t tell me, because I have to concentrate.”

“How about forming a study group?”

At my suggestion, Rachel raised her head and met her gaze.

“Are you good at studying?”

“I know a good kid.”

Our heads moved in the same direction, even though we didn’t mention their names.

The girl who was at the end of that gaze just made eye contact with this side and tilted her head.

“yes? What’s wrong with both of you?”

Julia. If it were her, the best maternal daughter of the academy in name and reality.

It may improve our grades vertically.

No, I definitely believe so.

gathered again.

The fantastic four-member re-formed.

In fact, after the group assignment, there were many occasions where the four of us gathered like this at any time.

It was natural to sit next to each other during breaks, lunchtimes, and even during mobile classes.

In other words, they are united in a solid group.

It’s only been a few months since the semester started, so we’ll get closer and closer.

In fact, except for Julia, the three of them didn’t really get close with anyone other than the members of this group.

I am an extra by birth, Sharon is very talkative, and Rachel has a fussy personality, so children are afraid of it. It’s gotten a lot softer these days, but my first impression was so strong, it’s going to take a while for my perception to change.

Listed like this, it is not for nothing that the four-member group is a fantasy.

This is enough to make you wonder why Yulia, the only normal person, is hanging out with us.

“Sobbing. I hope Rachel will propose a study group first…”

“hey. what’s the reaction What the hell were you looking at me for?”

“great! Let’s all work hard and get good grades!”

“Hey, are you going to ignore me at all?”

If you look around, isn’t Julia just an ordinary person?

Aside from being kind, I’m not always pushed by others. Rather, she was the person with the leadership to lead the atmosphere more than anyone else.

“Then where should I study?”

“Well. library? Or a cafe?”

“Or wouldn’t it be okay to do it at home like last time?”

what. Why is everyone looking at me?

Why do you naturally want to use my house as a hideout?

Unlike last time, not today.

I shook my head resolutely, not even giving an excuse.

“It’s not our house.”

“what the. I can’t thank you, but are you rejecting me?”

“In the beginning, you went to my house last time. If you go, you have to visit a new house.”

How dare you attack me. When attacking someone, on the other hand, you must be prepared to point the gun at yourself.

“Rachel, how is your house?”

“···uh? my house?”

“Wow! that’s good! I want to visit Rachel’s house too!”

With Julia’s addition, Rachel also seemed to have sensed that things were going wrong too late, but when she realized it, it was already too late.

“What do you think? Sharon, are you okay?”

“yes. great.”

In the end, when even the quiet Sharon agreed for the last time, the mood completely shifted.

Besides, there is even a plausible reason to visit a new house, so it is even more difficult to refuse.

Rachel, more bewildered than ever, waved her hand and shouted hastily.

“Oh, no! Our house is insectivorous… No, I mean, I have a sister!”

“How are you? Say hello to unnie and we can study together.”

“Rachel’s older sister…. I want to meet you! I am very curious about who you are!”

When even the last card didn’t work, she tied her head in agony and finally gave up on resisting and allowed it.

“…even if I’m disappointed, I don’t know.”

“Why are you disappointed? I’m going to a friend’s house to play.”

And I said I’ve already been there once. To put it in that sense, there was nothing particularly strange, but I was shivering for nothing.

The destination was decided and the four of us headed to Rachel’s house together.

So arrived in front of her house.

Taking a deep breath, Rachel looked at us and asked, almost ejaculating.

“Wait a minute here. I will go in and tell my sister that my friends are here.”

“okay.”

“Whoa…. So are you going?”

Are you prepared as if you were entering a dungeon entrance?

Anyway, Rachel slowly opens the door and enters the house.

We obediently stood behind her and watched her back.

And after a while.

“Damn!”

A scream was heard from inside.

“···Rachel?”

what. What’s going on?
