96 CHAPTER VII The Sleeping Elderly




 I've arrived in front of the school gates of Yingjie Academy .
 ...... Is this really a school?
 Once again, the sheer scale of the school is astonishing.
 I've been around the world, but this is the first time I've seen a school this large.
 I think it's more appropriate to describe this as a castle rather than an academy.
 Of course the royal capital has its own castle, but it's no less than that.

 There is a gatekeeper standing in front of the school gate.
 It's an unusual security for a normal school.

 When Lewis approached the gate, the gatekeeper bowed.

"This is Mr. Lewis, thank you for coming.

Yes, I'm here to see the director. Can you let me through?

Yes, of course. And the man behind it?

I'm a prospective student.

'I see, you must be quite good to have Master Lewis with you.

''Yeah, if this guy gets in, he'll be the strongest person in the school.

...... No way.

 The closed gates opened and Luis stepped forward.

'Let's go, Revell.'

Oh, yes.

 I followed Louis at a brisk walk.

"Revell ......? Where have I heard of ......?

 The gatekeeper tilted his head to see if my name sounded familiar.


 *****


 The inside of Yingjie Academy was so large that it would take some time to reach the president's office .
 I could see students on the grounds of Yingjie Academy.
 Since Yingjie Academy has a dormitory, it seems that there are students even if the semester hasn't started yet.

 When I entered the school building and walked down the hallway on the first floor, I found a courtyard.
 The courtyard is lush and green with a fountain in the center.
 There's a beautiful girl with blonde hair sitting on the edge of the fountain.
 She seemed to be chatting with her friend sitting next to her.

 ...... I didn't think so, and as I looked at her, our eyes met unexpectedly.

 I stopped looking at her.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. What's the matter, Revell?

 Louis turned to look at me with concern.

'...... No, I just found something I've missed.

How does the fountain make you feel nostalgic? Do you have any fond memories of that?

...... Yes, it's a lovely memory.

"...... Huh, right. But you can indulge your memories after you get to school. We need to focus on that admission now.

'Right, let's go then.

Hmm.

 Then, after a short walk up the stairs at the end of the hallway and a short walk down the second floor corridor, they arrived at the President's office .
 Lewis knocked on the door and it opened.

'Excuse me.'

 Gahhh, gahhh.

 There's an old man in a room with an old man sleeping on the couch.

I knew he was asleep.

 Louis said, not surprisingly, as he had expected.

'He's always been a good sleeper. He spends most of the day in bed.

...... I see.

I'm with Kyu!

 Kyu seemed to have a strange affinity for it.
