The Lady Wants To Rest - Chapter 15

“Renault?”

Marie looked surprised.

“Will you attend the academy?”

“Indeed.”

Marie’s eyes sparkled.

“Renault Academy is without a doubt the continent’s best academy! So you’ve decided to attain your goals!”

There’s no way that’s true.

There was no virtuous reason. If you entered the academy, the board and room were free.

Additionally, Renault Academy educated only on the basis of ability, and it was possible to substitute attendance with testing.

As long as I cursorily took the tests, I would attain 4 years of the couch potato life that I desired.

On the other hand, Marie, who didn’t know my dark intentions, continued with sparkling eyes.

“What major will you select at the academy? A great female knight? Or perhaps a magician? Or, or a Physician? Astrologer? Artist?”

Renault was not a primary, secondary, or tertiary educational institution, but an upper-grade educational institution at the university level.

Attending students tended to be around the age of their late teens to early twenties and attended a wide spectrum of classes as befitting of the continent’s best.

“I wonder. I’ll have to think about it.”

I shook my head.

I was going merely to rest, so why would I have thought of a major let alone a goal.

I merely hoped to earn a free meal while resting blissfully. Then, when an opportunity comes, strike it rich.

Of course, I hadn’t chosen Renault Academy simply due to free room and board. If I wanted free room and board, there were definitely other options.

Even so, there was a distinct reason why I had chosen Renault Academy.

‘Renault Academy is a place akin to my homeland.’

[Teacher, Teacher? Hehe.]

As I dimly recalled the voice of the past, I closed my eyes.

Though I had lived a total of 53 times, few lives were happy.

However, 200 years ago, the life I led at Renault Academy was one of the happiest memories from my thousand years.

Afterward, with each reincarnation, I overcame great suffering, and when I sunk down in sorrow, I would console myself by remembering my memories at Renault Academy.

With my eyes closed, I recalled my past from200 years ago.

[Teacher, is this really where we will live?]

A young boy with a nasally voice gripped my hand and gazed up at me.

[Indeed, this is where we will live.]

[Hehe.]

A total of five orphans turned their eyes with expectant expressions.

The object at the end of the children’s gazes was a shabby building standing desolately on top of a vacant lot.

[You’re going to start a school where we can study here, right? What will the school’s name be?”

[I wonder. Do you have any ideas? Let’s go with the one you choose.]

At my question, the children quibbled over the name. In the end, after many names had been mentioned, the children had chosen a name for the school.

[Renault.]

[Renault? Can’t it be a different name?]

But they firmly shook their heads.

[No, we don’t like it! It can’t be a different name!]

The children shouted in one voice.

[Since it’s our teacher’s name, it has to be Renault!]

“……”

Having remembered up to that point, I smiled bitterly.

That was so. Renault Academy was the school that I had raised.

‘Of course, even at the time of my death, I hadn’t imagined it would become the continent’s greatest educational institution.’

Since it happened 200 years ago, the traces of past memories probably remain no longer, but I wanted to return there once more.

Was it because the previous life had been so torturous?

I wanted to be consoled. I felt that, at Renault Academy, I would feel like I had arrived at home.

‘I’ll go there and rest for a few years and, after having sought an opportunity, I’ll leave far wealthier than I had entered.’

With that in mind, I decided to head to Renault Academy.

Without hesitation, I decided to board a ship headed towards Renault City the very next day.

Renault City was located on the coast of the Destan River, so the ship had to travel for three days down the river from the Roxanne territory in order to reach its destination.
