“ACHOOOO!!!”


    I felt my voice echo across the empty hallway. The loud sound of my irritated reaction to the wave of dust enveloping me could be said to be anything but subtle.


    “What the heck?!” I coughed, taking a few steps back.


    It was crazy!


    I was not really intent on pointing out how terrible unkempt the Dorm was since it didn’t directly affect me. However, for my own room to be in such a state… clearly, my annoyance would be peaked.


    The room was dusty, the bed dusty, everything dusty! I saw cobwebs and lots of unpleasant gathered around the furniture.


    ‘Are you kidding me?’


    Still, I couldn’t just watch dumbfounded. This was without a doubt my room—so I had to clean it up!


    **************************


    After what would be one of the worst thirty minutes of my new life, I was done cleaning up. Of course, as a noble, doing menial tasks such as this was something I had never done.


    If not for the experience I had in my past life as well as my adept use of magic, the state of my room would end up creating a huge dent in my stay at Ainrk.


    “Whew!” I sighed.


    My lips curled up in a smile as I looked at the new version of the once messed-up room. Not only had the dust disappeared, but the floors and furniture were also sparkly clean.


    My bed was tidy and the cobwebs around were all gone.


    “SPELLCRAFT sure is useful, uh?”


    I had used my mana to absorb all the dust, creating a form of ma. By gathering them all through dispersing my mana, the dirty particles became one whole sphere. I opened my window and disposed of therge sphere—as big as a man’s head— into the yard.


    The cobwebs were taken care of using , a Spell I invented on the spot.


    Using wind magic with SPELLCRAFT as its base, I created a form of suction that took in the cobwebs and all other residual dirt in the atmosphere. The suction made sure everything went out the window and vanished into the yard as well.


    ‘From what I saw, the yard is usually tidy, so the cleaners will take care of that… that is, if the wind doesn’t do their job for them.’


    Fresh air was one of the stable features of the Ainrk Academy grounds. Cobwebs and dust only gathered in ces that were untouched for very long and had a stagnated atmosphere. When exposed to the fluid nature of the wind, theponents would disperse.


    I covered my window to make sure none of the particles entered my room again. Still, the cleaning work was not done yet.


    I used water magic to spread moisture on the wooden tiles that covered my room as well as the walls and used heat to dry it off, creating a cleaner and more sparkly ambiance.


    I checked my wardrobe and found—as expected— a good deal of clothes already stored there.


    Unlike the room, the wardrobe seemed to be in perfect condition. I had to assume that the whole thing had been transported here using Magic.


    Two sets of uniforms other than the one I wore, a bunch of casual wear which was my size. Their designs were in and simple, but the quality of the outfits was all exquisite—as expected of Ainrk.


    We could also make requests for the kind of outfits we wanted and they would be delivered in a week, but I wasn’t going to bother with that. Shoes were also prepared. A couple of pairs and, just like the outfits, a different kind could be requested.


    Looking around, my room was small—smaller than the one I used back at the temporary apartment and iparable to the one in my house. Still, it wasn’t unbearably so.


    With my bed by the side, touching the wall, I had a study desk and chair beside it. The setting was simr to the other apartment—only smaller.


    I had my personal bathroom and toilet, something that gave me pure relief. The fear that I would have to share made me shiver on my way to this Dorm. However, when I thought of it rationally… there was no way Ainrk would resort to that—even for Lower-ss students.


    ‘I’m still a noble, after all… and this is a prestigious institute.’


    With everything basically in order, I decided to do what I had intended to do from the start.


    “My sack…” I used Wind magic to draw it closer to me as I sat on my bed.


    It was a hard and t surface… but Magic could make it better.


    Opening the sack, I brought out the various nts I had plucked from the garden not too long ago and began processing them. It was a long wait, but I could finally begin practicing based on the treasure Alphonse gave me as a gift.


    ***********************


    “Huu, all done!” I cleaned the nonexistent sweat from my forehead as I looked at the products of mybor.


    Several bottles that appeared transparent were lined up on the t surface of my bed.


    They were 12 in total, the same amount of the different types of nts I gathered. Within the transparent bottles which were just a little smaller than a fist, were liquid substances that had respective colors.


    My test tubes, as I called them all carried concentrates of the nts. Since these nts were all usefulponents in making drugs or medicines, people often used the entire thing for the process.


    However, what would truly be deemed as important were the chemicals that formed them. Just as I created the poison that killed the traitorous maid, I intended to draw out the chemicalponents of each of the nts and experiment with them.


    nts contained more than oneponent and rare nts had some simr chemicals tomon ones.


    If I could figure out which chemicals did what in the body, I could create potions that would usually require rare nts using just thebination of chemicals withinmon ones.


    It was a cheaper, more conservative approach!
