Taming The Villainesses

Episode 197.1

Ark.

People always seemed to forget that it was an educational institution.

It operated one high curriculum with a selection of instructors, tutors, and professors. 

The students attending would come from various countries, each with diverse talents. Sitting in the park, youd be able to experience the many exotic languages and various skills on display.

But to be honest, Id only been seeing them as a background like a phone wallpaper.

The reason I came here wasnt necessarily to pursue education, but rather because I felt it would be better to send Aira abroad than in Angmar.

Still, the reason I chose Ark was because of its strength and safety being the last bastion in the story.

And I also had a subtle hope that since it was an educational institution, Airas character and temperament might change for the better.

However, once I arrived on campus, I got very busy with various things. The only time I properly attended my classes and lectures were at the beginning of the semester. 

Yeah, I only showed up in the early days of the semester, but after that, I started skipping everything. I guessed it was a taste test of being a college freshman.

At the very least, I still did that much. But for Elga and Aira, it got to the point that they received warnings from the school for always skipping lectures, napping, or even disappearing entirely.

Theo, are you telling me to attend lectures? Lectures that last for 90 minutes?

As such.

Aira never felt the need to attend lectures in the first place.

As a wise Queen, I already know everything in the world. Why would I waste my time attending lectures~?

She said so.

If you werent going to attend the lectures, why even came to Ark?

Well, I knew the answer

Aira seemed to view Ark as a kind of resort, a time to relax away from the duties of queenhood, under the guise of a student.

In a way, she was like someone taking a break from college or lectures for a job hunt I know the feeling because Id been there.

Theo, for what reason do I have to listen to lectures from people who are stupider than me~? I didnt expect you, the next wisest person after me, to say such things. Did your head get hit hard during the duel?

Seukseuk.

Aira suddenly started worrying about me, touching my forehead or checking my mouth.

Now that I see it, You have a cavity. Thats why youre not making sound judgments, Theo~. The nerve connected to the cavity is attacking your brain.

No, really? A cavity?

I had a cavity? Sure, Id been indulging in sweets lately, but I thought I was brushing well.

Looking in the mirror, I found a cavity deep in my left molar. I was speechless, and Aira, who lent me the mirror, chuckled.

Theo, we should go eat pork cutlet together soon.

She was probably using pork cutlet as an excuse to get the cavity removed

You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent Calm Thinking.

All job experience +5 

What did Aira think of me?

No, anyway, the important thing now was neither the cavity or the pork cutlet. The problem was that Aira had no intention of attending the lectures.

In fact, Aira didnt really need to attend lectures. 

The brooch attached to Airas chest had the Roman numeral II .

With the first rank vacant for some reason, there was no student at Ark superior to her. It was more appropriate for the instructors, professors, and even the director and sage, Hynax, to have Aira teach instead. 

As a single digit ranker, she could skip lectures and still get an A grade automatically. She was so privileged that it almost seemed excessive.

That was why she might not feel the need to attend lectures.

However

That only applied until the contest began. 

Aira-nim, it pains me to say this, but if things continue like this, theres a chance you might lose to Empress Serazade.

What?

Aira-nim needs to show some action to move the hearts of the students, who hold the votes.

Hmm.

Aira, who was sitting on the bed and brushing the Marumaru dolls head, frowned. She had always shown this sharp expression to the advisors. 

It seemed that nothing has changed even if it was me.

Thats ridiculous~. It seems like your cavity is quite severe, Theo. Lets go to the hospital.
