Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 121.1

The lecture on general studies by Fuval also includes a basic introduction to law.

I revisited the study materials in the library and asked the librarian for similar references to review.

The specialized books are filled with complex terminology and grammar, which would usually be a challenge to decipher, but thanks to my [Language Proficiency], I had no trouble.

With the help of [Concentration Boost], I understood the content in no time.

Three days after starting my studies, I left the library with a gloomy expression.

“After all this research, this is the best I can do…”

Shaking my head slightly, I left the academy, visited my collaborators, and received their consent. When I returned home, I found the usual group: Serade, Lanine, Quince, along with Tarvit, Zerret, and Balden, all gathered in the living room taking a break.

After greeting everyone briefly, I headed upstairs.

Afterward, Ted and the others were furious when they found out about Bortas’s visit.

There were suggestions like beating him up and dumping him in the forest, or dumping him in the Filsach territory to let him check out the newly restored mountain path, or even dropping him off in Wolber to avoid causing trouble in our hometown.

By the way, the suggestion to beat him up came from Ted, the sightseeing idea was Gemma’s, and the one who didn’t want trouble at home was Elliot.

I was surprised to see the usually gentle Elliot lose his temper, but no matter how you look at it, beating him up and dumping him isn’t a good idea.

If push comes to shove, I’ll take care of it.

Also, Ted and the others had apparently just met Manman Mansaku for the first time.

A guild employee warned them, saying, “They can be a bit troublesome, so if anything happens, consult with Tenko.”

They said they’d kept their distance as much as possible.

Frankly, I don’t care which Rebecca is involved, but their supervision falls under Ismira, Corpus, and the guild, not me.

In my bedroom, I threw off my school clothes and pulled out different attire from a box stashed away.

“Haven’t worn this since the entrance ceremony. Is it… a bit tight?”

Moving around to check, I noticed the shoulders were tight, and the sleeves and hems were shorter.

It felt like it would tear if I moved too much. With the graduation ceremony coming up, I should get a new outfit.

Speaking of graduation, I recently received an off-season letter from my father.

The content was about the martial arts tournament and graduation ceremony, saying that if things were settled in the territory, he’d come to watch the tournament.

While I was happy, I also felt conflicted.

The martial arts tournament runs from February to mid-March. Adding travel time, would mean over two months away from the territory. Even if he focuses only on the graduation ceremony, it’d still be close to a month.

To be honest, it wasn’t that important of an event.

I’m almost certain he won’t come, but if that happens, he’ll probably send someone to pick me up.

That’s a hassle for me.

There’s no way the Knight Commander, Loran, would come, so it’ll likely be one of the former subordinate knights who got promoted.

And except for Loran, none of them know about my abilities.

Dealing with them is tiring, so I plan to refuse the escort.

After changing into this noble attire for the first time in a while, I went downstairs, adjusting my shoulders and elbows.

“What’s with those clothes? You look like a noble!”

As soon as Ted saw me, he and Gemma burst out laughing.

I am a noble, and this isn’t the first time Ted’s seen me like this. It’s the outfit I wore for the entrance exam.

Ted laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes, apparently forgetting the attire of the guy who beat him.

Meanwhile, Zelet, Balden, and Nils nodded in approval, and for some reason, Quince and the others were staring at me in awe. That was embarrassing in its own way.

Jonas, who showed no interest as usual, didn’t matter, but Nails and Elliot tilted their heads.

“Heading out?”

“I have some business. I should be back soon, but if I’m late, make sure to lock up.” “Understood.”

With that, Nails nodded.

I usually entrusted the keys to Daina and Nails, her son.

If they weren’t available, either Emily or Ginny would take the key home, but most of the time, they waited for me to return.

As we were talking, I heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels from outside.

It seemed the escort had arrived.

A knock on the door signaled the arrival, and when I opened it, Samini greeted me with a graceful bow.

Behind her was a luxurious carriage.

“Thank you for waiting.”

“It’s fine. Let’s go.”

I told Ted and the others, who were all gathered at the entrance, and boarded the carriage.

The destination was Emily’s father, Bortas’s house.
