Chapter 17
I left a note next to the sleeping Sir Olivier, after writing this on the paper:
[I will have the cost for the hotel room charged to your name . Be careful that similar events will not arise in the future . ]
Just to note, the room I had stayed at was the hotel’s suite room .
Once he saw the bill for the hotel room, he was sure to come to his senses . It was certain that he would never again have a sip or taste of any food given by his target .
This was a punishment for him so he would learn the lesson he desperately required, it wasn’t to save money by having him pay instead .
Truly .
We immediately boarded a passenger ship headed for Renault City .
It was only after three days on the ship that we reached the city .
“Woah! Milady, it’s Renault City!”
Marie shouted happily while clinging to the railing, but I merely had a drowsy expression .
‘So tired . ’
Though I had remained in bed all three days, due to the ship’s swaying, it hadn’t felt as if I was resting, and my body ached .
On the other hand, Marie, who was in her element, was skipping about . Maybe it was her youth .
“Look! That must be the famous Renault Academy . Isn’t it cool?!”
“Indeed, how interesting . ”
Marie pouted at my indifferent expression .
“Is it not interesting to milady?”
“It’s interesting . ”
“What a lie . ”

Well, there is a limit to interest .
After so many lives, I had seen numerous cities just as big as this one .
Only, it was the differences compared to 200 years ago that drew my eyes .
‘It really has changed a lot . When I lived here, it had been a small countryside village . ’
Of course, the reason a village had transformed into a city was due to Renault Academy, the continent’s greatest of educational facilities .
With my abilities, it wasn’t difficult for me to feed the orphans, but rather to have them educated .
I had built a school to give them the opportunity of education and, after many years, students started to gather after hearing the rumors .
‘So it grew this big . I see… . ’
I looked at Renault City with eyes filled with renewed sentiments .
Currently, Renault City has become a politically emancipated city, granted independence of any territory as a means of respecting the continent’s most famed Renault Academy .

‘It is nice to return after such a long time . ’
Taking a deep breath, it felt like I was breathing in the same air as I did 200 years ago with the children, and it felt welcoming .
As soon as I disembarked, I immediately handed in my application .
“The exam day is next week . ”
After getting my application processed, Marie looked at me with a nervous expression that suggested that she was the one who would be taking the exam .
“You’re nervous, right, Milady? It’ll be alright . I believe in milady! So what if you don’t do well on some exam? If you fail the entrance exam, let’s do something else! I’ll earn money somehow!”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t nervous, since the streets bustled with fellow examinees, all of whom were the geniuses of the West Empire .
Renault Academy was truly the continent’s greatest educational facility .
It was the climax of the elite course and the greatest of social opportunities, so throngs of people desperately clamored to be accepted into Renault Academy .

‘Well, I couldn’t possibly fail . ’
I looked about and thought .
‘Still, just in case, should I just take a glance at what will be on the exam?’
I crossed my arms and fell into deep thought .
Of course, no matter how many geniuses crowded into the exam, I wasn’t worried that I would fail to be accepted into the academy .
However, much may have changed from the knowledge of 200 years prior to the knowledge of today, so I considered scanning over the exam content .
‘It’s tedious . ’
After long consideration, I came to a decision .
‘In the end, if I’m accepted, all I’ll do is laze around and study for a few days . ’
Just like that, I swallowed my dreary feelings and perused the books of the library opened for applicants . The library was filled with many applicants passionately studying .
