Mana Compression and Creating a Highbeast

Written lessons ended midway through the morning. I wanted to spend my free time in the library, but my meeting with Solange was still days away. It was at times like this that I truly hated how everything in the Academy was done based on grades and influence; I yearned for the library more than anyone else, but my love was being denied.

Two whole days to go... I’m going to die! Someone, give me booooooks!

As I wailed in silent agony, I called over the first-years and had them start working on study guides for next year. Everyone leapt at the chance to help, especially when I mentioned that putting the work in now would make studying a lot less of a struggle for them in the future.

“Make sure to properly organize your notes, everyone. I will buy all those of a sufficiently high quality.”

“Understood!” the mednobles and laynobles enthusiastically replied. The archnoble, however, didn’t seem too invested.

“I am willing to help since you made the request, Lady Rozemyne, but I would like you to know that I am not fond of working for money like a laynoble.”

Oho, what’s this? Is working for money considered a laynoble thing? Are archnobles too proud to do it themselves?

“Are you unaware that I, the archduke’s adopted daughter, earn my own money?”

“...Ah.”

“Without the funds I made through my own hard work, I would not have been able to provide sweets as rewards or print so many educational books to be sold in the winter playroom. Am I right to assume you are used to spending your parents’ money and know not how to earn your own? I would advise you to learn a bit more about how income really works.”

“My apologies,” the archnoble replied, though I could tell from the look in his eyes that he still wasn’t convinced. There were no doubt many others who shared this view as well.

I glanced over at Wilfried. “Dear brother, do all archnobles think like this?”

“Yeah, pretty much. They live off the income from their land and annual salaries from the archduke, so the whole concept of working for money is completely alien to them. I get income too, and Oswald tells me where it all goes as my head attendant, but I don’t think I would’ve noticed you were earning money on your own had I not managed the winter playroom in your place.”

The money Wilfried received hadn’t been enough to continuously prepare sweets for the winter playroom, so he had apparently gone to Ferdinand, the manager of my funds, for financial assistance. While there, he was surprised to learn that my income was steadily increasing even as I slept. He had never even considered making money himself.

“It is unsightly for an archnoble to scramble to earn their own money,” the archnoble student said.

“So you say, but Giebe Haldenzel is an archnoble, and he is currently spreading my printing and paper-making industries through the duchy to earn a profit. Were you unaware
