I decided to make a to-do list first. Let's see
1.Get promoted to D-rank within this week before saturday.
Establish a sub-guild in one of these days.Boss farming of Int-mid to hit the level cap within this weekend.Hold a preparatory eting for the term-end exam next week and devise strategy for exams.End-term exam week after next---a trial to test out my love for .Announcent of test results the following week; which is also the week before the sumr vacation. No particular plan for this week.
7.Further after the start of the sumr vacation. Make-up lessons for the failed students.
Now that I wrote them down, there sure were a lot of things to do. And just that many pitfalls huh. If we stumbled upon any of them, our schedule would go kaput. Especially the end-term exams, it was the weakest link. I could undertake any task related to , but first ti exam takers might find it challenging.
Well, we have two weeks before the exams to prepare the asures, so I guess we would be focusing on both guild battle and exam preparation, given each's importance on my plan. Can't favor one over another, right?
With most things sorted out, the next step was to hear what everyone's plan was.
Lunchti. Sierra had already gathered the mbers of in the cafeteria in order to relay the plan. Fast as ever, huh. She was really a huge lifesaver.
I passed my consolidated schedule to her
"Hmm, we need to decide on the D-rank exam first of all. I personally would like to suggest Wednesday or Thursday if possible......"
"Her Highness Lana has to prepare for the procedure of ho visit in the sumr vacation on these days. Alongside guards, her attendants Ester, Shizu and Pala will also be busy in this."
"A pity I couldn't find the slot to use the arena tomorrow, and using it today at a mont's notice was impossible as well. This leaves us the weekend then, huh."
What bad luck, my plan to take the promotion exam before saturday this week collapsed before it could take its flight. And I have been quite forgetful about it, but Lana was a princess, wasn't she? She had hardly been putting up her pompous 'I am a Princess' attitude like our first eting, so it often slipped out of my mind.
It seed like there were a lot of ti-consuming procedures that needed to be done for ho visit, and considering her status, it was apparently impossible to cancel at the end mont as well. They had long since planned to go through the procedure during this period. Besides, I couldn't just ask them to cancel the plan because I want us to take the . I an, knowing Lana, she would cancel it gladly.
Well, I guess no way to focus on level grinding this weekend huh. I really wanted to do that.
"Aside from that, we have friday. No one has any plan after classes, except Zephyr."
"You're right."
Friday was the day for to take elective classes.
Recently, there was a sudden influx of students who wanted to take my lecture over 'Training Manual', and it was now one of the hugely popular lectures. And here I used to think even 20 students would be a success for . What a twist of the situation I had.
There were even so people offering millions of Mirs in hope to exchange seats with them. Though, according to Celestine, no one had taken upon the offer.
I was honestly delighted and proud to hear that.
Ahem, I digress there. Anyway, all the students attending looked so excited that Q&A session continued forever, even when class was over. My lecture was supposed to end at 3 p.m., but I often ended up staying till 6 p.m. There was no end to the question coming at .
Well, having seen everyone showing their training manual they had co up with was interesting for as well. I also ended up getting absorbed in their enthusiasm. The girls at the front row especially were more enthusiastic than others. I would have even missed dinner if I didn't wrap the class by myself.
"We can make it jn ti if only Zephyr doesn't keep the classes continuing for overti."
"Don't say it like I'm so kind of exploitative manager. No, I an, it does seem similar now that you said it."
Co to think of it, my lecture was also a work, no? It's kind of hard for to wrap my head around it though.
I was also properly receiving my salary from the academy. But I was really terrified of how it kept increasing with each lecture. Like, who in the world pays a seven figure salary for just a single lecture, right?
I guess it would be fine to wrap up my lecture at the schedule ti then. But, it was really hard to ignore the passion of everyone. What a dilemma. My brain says yes, but my heart says no.
"Just get over your lecture by scheduled ti. Listen well, this is the only chance we have to increase rank for the ti duration. I will not tolerate anything but a yes. Afterward, we can have the weekend to ourselves. Got it?"
"Y-yes mam!"
"Good."
In the end, I reflexively ended up agreeing with Sierra at her commanding tone.
Sierra, seemingly satisfied with my answer, flashed a smile before putting it into the schedule. Ugh, that smile was a foul soul for real.
Haa...At this point, I could only give up on the lecturer. Forgive , students. It's not like I want to, but I had to. So, I have to sacrifice your passion for the smile of Sierra...I an, for .
After classes, I, along with Sierra and Celestine, visited and managed to secure the 5 p.m. slot for our D-rank promotion exam. I also passed the confirmation news to other mbers in chat, prompting an 'alright' reply from them.
Alright, ti to focus on another task.
"Listing is done, Zephyr. Here, check them out."
"Are you sure? I presu it must contain their personal information as well."
While saying that, I received the thing Sierra passed to . It was a bundle of paper with a 'confidential' stamp on top. It was mainly about who was good at studies, who was not, the subjects they excelled at and the subjects they weren't. I really wasn't sure if I should go through them.
"This is all for . We can't hesitate here, do we?"
"Fine, I can only bite the bullet here huh."
She was right. goal was to reach the top---S-rank. How could I hope to achieve it if I get cold feet here. I prepared myself to receive criticized gazes by the girls later and went through them. It was a complete dark spot in my knowledge, probably the influence of reality, huh? Lana might be furious, but I will have Sierra help console her.
"Her Highness Lana is good at morization, but not so at math. Zephyr, you teach her, alright?"
"Huh?"

An unwitting 'Oh' escaped from my lips as I skimd through the weak subjects list Sierra handed to .
