After almost two weeks of staying at the different places where my husbands were living in, it was finally ti to report back to the acade regarding the completion of my imrsion. Early the next morning, I have teleported back to the headmaster’s office at around 8 in the morning. My sudden appearance has bought a bit of fright to the old man, of course.
The first thing I saw as I reappeared inside the acade was the headmaster’s widened eyes. His face then changed to that of slight annoyance but still he welcod with smiles. I imdiately presented the bracelet that recorded the number of hours completed and what jobs were completed at that ti. The activities I perford are both used for my physician certification and academic credits which was a win-win for .
The headmaster imdiately accepted the bracelet and started the verification process of my tasks. It took about a quarter of an hour before he was able to docunt the recorded content and add it to the acade’s database. I also received a congratulatory remark from the headmaster for getting my physicians’ certification. He also advised that my allowance would increase together with my advanced certificate.
After the verification, I got my bracelet back. I made sure to check it to check the details that the headmaster told about certain changes. I also received so form of reward for completing the imrsion in the form of acade points. This would be quite useful as an expected windfall when I graduate for all my future plans once I am out of the acade.
I did not forget to give so gifts to the headmaster from the places I visited up north as a sign of goodwill. I quickly left the headmaster’s office and went to the student registration office to check on the courses offered for the next sester. The earlier I tick off the tasks in my list, the more ti I have for myself to rest.
As I passed by the familiar corridors of the acade, I couldn’t help but reminisce the feelings I had the first ti I was bought to this world without my permission. As I gradually regained my mories and I t people that I can trust and love, I learned accept and adept to life here.
As of the mont, there are less students than usual since the one week break in between sesters have started two days ago. Most students go back to their hotowns or choose to travel to other places to have fun. I already had my fun during the last two weeks so I chose to co back to the acade at this ti for peace and quiet.
I was so absentminded that before I knew it, I already passed by the door of the students’ registration and affairs office. I had to turn around and go back because of it.
I knocked on the door respectfully before going inside. I was greeted by one of my favorite people in the acade, Mr. Jonas.
HIs face brightened and he smiled when he saw at the door. He invited to sit as he prepared so tea and snacks for . I am not sure if this is how he welcos other students who visit him but I appreciate his kindness towards .
As he was preparing the refreshnts, I placed a gift box on his table which is filled with souvenirs and food that I bought during my travels. It was similar to the gifts I brought to the headmaster. I am not sure if he would feel bad if he found out that his gifts are not so unique after all since I prepared a few similar boxes in my storage space.
After a few minutes, Mr. Jonas returned with so tea and cookies. He has also pushed towards a book which should be the list of classes that are offered for the next sester.
I took the book and started scanning on the list. He also took the gift box and opened it. He smiled and thanked once again for the things I brought for him.
While we were having tea, I saw him reading through what seems to be a file folder so I did not disturb him and continued checking the list of courses. After a few minutes, he looked up from what he was reading and asked, "Are you taking the third and final imrsion class this coming sester? I think you have finished all the classroom courses and that’s the only thing left that you need to finish though You have only finished 5 out of the 8 sesters so far."
I looked up from the book I was reading as well and replied, "I won’t be taking that course this sester. I plan to take that on my third or fourth sester for year 2. I have important things to attend to so I can’t be away on an imrsion."
Mr. Jonas then went back to the files he was reading and wrote a few things while he was at it. While still busy, he spoke again, "I am checking on your file and you have taken a lot of academic units so far. You even took so extra courses that were not part of the basic curriculum. I understand that you took so job certifications as well, correct?"
I nodded my head and replied, "I have master certifications on cooking, dicinal cuisine, botany, butcher work, alchemy, map making and I am now a physician. Oh! Mr. Jonas, can you also check Ioannis’ acade points? Those will be added to mine since he beca my husband and he is no longer an acade attendant, right?"
Mr. Jonas nodded once and stood up. He went to a shelf and took out a file folder quickly. He went back to his seat and started reading the file. After a few minutes, he answered, "Ioannis only stopped earning acade points a few months before he left for your hotown but he still gets monthly allowances on the certifications that he has. It only stopped totally when he left the acade. I understand that you helped him earn acade points and made it appear that he paid for his own freedom so that there won’t be any issues on his legitimacy as you husband which was very considerate of you. Hmm... Even after deducting the 300,000 acade points from his stash, he still has 257,800 acade points."
I slowly looked up from what I was reading and stared at Mr. Jonas, surprise evident on my face. I then clarified, "When I took Ioannis in as an attendant, I rember that he already has 128,500 acade points after working nonstop for 5 years. In a few months, we made up for the remaining amount needed for him to buy his freedom. I know he attended classes, got certifications and did daily tasks too but isn’t that number too high?"
Mr. Jonas chuckled and looked at teasingly which confused even more. After seeing that I was starting to look uncomfortable, he finally responded, "A bulk of the points ca from him getting married to you and getting pregnant as well. It seems that you both love being intimate as well so you know where it mostly ca from."
I was stunned at how he answered my question since it is quite detailed and it simply ans that the acade has a way to identify where the points co from for verification purposes. It seems like on their end, they can see a breakdown of the points but on the students bracelet what one can view was just the total number of current points.
I was the first to break eye contact with the old man and coughed awkwardly. Mr. Jonas laughed heartily since I did not deny the things he said. I hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Can you also check Arthur’s current acade points? He is the attendant I took in after Ioannis beca my husband."
Mr. Jonas stood up once more and this ti he went to a different shelf. It took so ti for him to browse through the files and find the one that belongs to Arthur. Once he found it, he ca back to his seat and started checking it while I wait.
After a few minutes of reading through the thin stack of papers, he looked up and answered, "When you took in Arthur, he barely had any points since he had only been chosen as a personal attendant by a female student for only a couple of tis. He was a cheerful one but I know from his eyes that he has given up on getting freedom. That was only before he beca your attendant though."
I looked at Mr. Jonas but did not respond. I knew for a fact that most of the acade attendants have given up. I was there when the attendants were discussing things after the batch of students I belong to had made their pick on attendants. Those who weren’t picked showed their raw feeling of frustration, anger and defeat at that ti.
