How to Survive at the Academy

King of blunts (4)

The great sage Sylvania Robester was a genius that seemed like a painting.

Born the daughter of a moderately wealthy translator in the capital Chloéron, it took her less than a month to learn to read and write the official language of the Empire.

At the age of seven, when children her age were running around in the yard, grumbling against their parents, Sylvania read a thick magic book the size of her torso, and by the time she was baptized at the age of nine, she had already taught herself the magic of the middle element.

It was at this point that her father, Dexton Robester, a renowned magic book translator, had a gut feeling that his daughter was a strange person.

Since then, several reputable tutors have been appointed, but most of them quit within a few months. When asked why, it was goosebumps.

Sometimes when you look at Sylvania’s behavior, you often see a young girl of her age. Even if you show cute appearance as if you fell on the road and cried that your knee was scratched or that you lost your doll that you loved, even if you show cute appearance… from the moment you grab a quill for class, you become a completely different person.

Even the ears are dripping down from those eyes that stare at the runes while absorbing knowledge, and I wonder if those are the eyes of a now-thirteen-year-old girl. Like a beast that devours all knowledge, it stares into the instructor’s eyes and tries to gnaw at his brain.

It was the summer of that year that the monster ecology instructor had studied the records of several years of research in just a couple of months and presented a new theory of evolution of the monster family, and it was that winter that the herbal medicine instructor pointed out the loopholes in the reagent manufacturing theory.

At the age of eleven, he suddenly wanted to learn swordsmanship, and after three months he went out to the mountains with a rapier and caught a roe deer. And a month later, he researched and placed the spirit ceremony in the bow that his father personally owned, and in the same month he signed a contract with the lieutenant spirit.

As soon as the next year came, he took an interest in alchemy, and created the ‘blue brilliance reagent’ and ‘red angler flower reagent’, which even famous alchemists struggle with.

And that summer, he casts the high wind magic ‘Eye of Typhoon’… and blows away the fountain in the central square of Chloeron.

At that time, the youngest high-ranking magic user recorded in history at the time was 29 years old, Melgis, the commander of the Magic Knights directly under the imperial family.

And Sylvania was twelve years old at the time.

Sylvania was stroking her fingertips with a playful face as if she had had an accident. Dexton, who went to pick her up at Chloeron’s main square, had a gut feeling.

The Imperial Army is protecting her. Her eyes were trembling as if she had seen the sight of a girl who couldn’t even cover herself properly, blowing up the square with high-ranking magic.

Now, it was time to reveal Sylvania’s existence to the world.

– ‘If you study the positions of the stars, you can see a strange flow of magic. I don’t know if there is a causal relationship mechanically, but if you look closely, you can feel some kind of regularity. If studied well, perhaps even the basic rules and providences that underpin the world can be twisted. The study of the positions of the stars and the flow of their magical powers… You could call it stellar science!’

At the age of thirteen, by the decree of Chloël II, Sylvania Robester became the youngest imperial sorcerer. It was an unprecedented greeting historically.

But no one could complain. At the age of only thirteen, she had already anonymously submitted two papers on the theory of response to the Society of Elements, and achieved a feat that was unanimously accepted.

All the scholars of the Tog Magical Society were stunned when they learned that the theories of the radical thesis that shook the system of magic response theory came from the brain of a thirteen-year-old girl.

Among them, a couple of people realized the gap in their talents and even left the academy altogether.

Sylvania, who was supported by the imperial family, occupied the entire large corridor of Lily Palace and a laboratory the size of a house. it started.

Even in the Chloël imperial family where everything was neatly arranged, no one could have thought of arranging it as much as the laboratory occupied by Sylvania.

Already, the corridor outside the Palace of Lilies and the annex laboratory had become her own world.

Chloel II had a clear eye for seeing people. A girl like Sylvania Robester shouldn’t try to cut into the frame of education. Rather, he arranged for Sylvania to meet as many scholars as possible.

It was a time when experts with various knowledge came and went to the lab of Lily of the Valley.

Several scholars also wanted to meet Sylvania, a treasure kept by the Chloel Imperial Family.

Seoln Elpelan, the viper of the Elpelan family, Kelaison Bloomriver, the vulgar head of the Bloom River family called the witch’s house, the famous backcountry adventurer Dalex Elderbane, and Jane Velaxus who calls herself a researcher who studies the reagents of disaster. .

After the period when Sylvania was immersed in research alone, it was a time when a lot of great personal connections were accumulating.

It was a time when he met all kinds of people, had a variety of research points of view, and his personality became more cheerful in earnest. She felt a variety of impressions from various people and was influenced by various things, but the one who had the greatest influence was Duke, the swordsman of the McLaure family.

Duke McLaugh.

As a descendant of the first swordsman, Luden McLaure… A person who breathed new vitality into the McLaure family, which had been in the dark for a long time.

The lore of the first swordsman Luden he spoke of had a huge impact on Sylvania. In particular, the anecdote of when he subjugated Seongchangryong Velbrok was engraved in his memory, making him more interested in swordsmanship.

After that, Sylvania began to expand her knowledge in daggers, archery, and spears by borrowing the royal dagger. Of course, he was born with a dwarf body and had limited muscles, but he showed an unrivaled speed of mastery in terms of technology.

By the time I turned 17, I lost a lot of the youthful feeling and when I became a person who could properly serve one person… I was already a human who could use about a dozen or so of the highest level of magic. At least among humans, it was safe to say that there was no human with a deeper knowledge of magic than her.

Even scholars with thick beards who studied magic until the twilight of their lives bowed their heads in front of her smiling brightly.

From this time on, Sylvania was given the modifier ‘The Great Sage’.

Still, Sylvania Robester had no interest in being arrogant, pursuing achievements, or amplifying her wealth.

Dressed in the majestic robes of a wizard, and flirting around the conference, she could … she ran through the hills with a leather tunic, a shabby taupe cloak, and a few reagent bottles.

At the top of the observatory, where you can see the best stars, he measured the positions of the stars with his feet up.

As she began to study the constellation studies in earnest, all sorts of clutter grew in her laboratory.

Aspect magic that twists the providence of the world comes with many risks even in research. In particular, the unmanageable aspect of magic often implemented magic in a way that was different from the caster’s intentions.

Explosions often occurred in the laboratory whenever there was a break. For the first time or two, the imperial family understood her name considering the value of her name, but after several days and several days, she changed her position.

From time to time, the imperial family summoned him to pay attention to his research, threatening that there could be casualties. Each time, Sylvania scratched the back of her head, hehehehehe, and apologized.

It was terrifying, but Sylvania, who was studying Aspect Magic, was shining brighter than ever.

Any magic theory, no matter how difficult and difficult it was, after a few days of deliberation, I was able to find the answers and read them all.

However, the more we dig into the realm of constellation magic that mankind has not yet explored, the more unknown it becomes.

It is like a new continent that still has plenty of places to explore for Sylvania, who has lived her whole life in a swamp of knowledge and research.

Those shining eyes when studying Aspect Magic were nobler and deeper than any other scholar. I think it is my destiny to realize the principles of this world that twists the providence, a life born for academic purposes, and that’s how Sylvania immersed herself in research.

I will be stuck in the lab of the Lily Palace like this, and achieve great achievements that no one in the world could have imagined with my own hands.

At that time, all the members of the imperial family who were in charge of the Lily Palace thought so. To that extent, Sylvania’s actions had the power to inspire people.

This girl would be the frontrunner for making tremendous progress that was unprecedented in the world. I had that certainty.

—Until the following year, Lienfell, Crown Prince of the Chloel imperial family, was caught up in the aftermath of an explosion caused by a failed experiment in Sylvania.

Since then, it has been a breeze.

Injuring the Crown Prince while doing a taboo experiment… It’s a big deal that wouldn’t be strange even if he was sentenced to death right away.

Nevertheless, the enormous achievements of Sylvania cannot be neglected. Sylvania is a person of enormous value to be placed on the gallows haphazardly.

Therefore, Chloël II decided to exile her to a secluded area on the outskirts for the time being.

It’s good to be zealous for research, but it’s to teach you not to get too engrossed in it.

There are many intentions to forget about research for a while in a quiet place and refresh the head while breathing some fresh air.

Even though my son was injured, it would not have been possible without the gentle character of Chloel II to be able to finish with this kindness. Sylvania was well aware of that fact, so she left for Aken Island with only a word of thanks.

It was Sylvania’s own hope that she had chosen Aken Island as her exile.

[It was there that I and Sylvania met for the first time. ]

In the corner of the hut, it was the voice of Merylda, who was smiling slyly.

[I was always laughing out loud at the subject of being kicked out of the imperial family after an accident. At the time, everything was bothering me, and I don’t know how much trouble I suffered because of him. ]

“You’re suffering, what are you doing?”

[When I have free time, I came here to join the research. There was no proper magic source on Aken Island, and there was no research facility, so I was trying to do some magic research. So, it’s poisonous, poisonous. ]

Merylda’s recollections, which would have been merely a biography of Sylvania, are now beginning to change in detail.

After all, the story before that must have been something that Sylvania had only heard of… From now on, it’s a story that Merylda witnessed firsthand.

[When I have free time, I present a lengthy vision and ask him to fit in, but since this also actually accomplishes quite a few things… He was a guy with a lot of momentum. ]

“Give me a vision?”

[He had a dream. ]

Merylda wiggles the back of her hair back and holds her in a ponytail, changes her tone in a cheerful tone, as if mimicking Sylvania, before speaking.

[Perfect foresight of the future. A confirmed causal change! ]

“…What?”

[Riding the flow of time and peeking into the future is entirely God’s domain, Merylda! But I believe in human potential! The evil god Mebulani, the God-given Telosni, I am not interested in living a life of only accepting fate on a given timeline, relying on the power of such a god! ]

Was the tone of Sylvania like this when he was alive?

With a clearly high voice, he speaks as if to focus on himself.

[ Seeing the future… No, I’m not satisfied with that alone. ]

Nonsense words spit out with a smile on your face.

[I’m going to the future. ]

At those words, my expression hardened as it was.

At that point, the great sage Sylvania was looking at how far.

[Are you going to succumb to the given fate? No matter how miserable fate is foreordained, I have no intention of succumbing to such a future. ]

“…”

[I will survive, Merylda. ]

No matter what trials and tribulations of fate come, the girl who smiled cheerfully and spread out her chest to jump on her…

When I came to this Aken Island, I definitely knew ‘something’. Was it due to the power of the Holy Spirit magic?

“That… what did you mean…”

[ I don’t know either. She’s bluffing. Well, it’s not a day or two. I didn’t even have time to hang out with her every day because of the sound of her catching floating clouds. Well, maybe it was the words of his resolve that his heart would not be broken even while he was exiled to Aken Island. ]

“Hearing that, I think I know what kind of person he was.”

[What is certain is that there weren’t only good things in her life. Even if he had thrown him naked in the corner of the desert, he would have grinned and grinned, but that didn’t mean he was ignorant of sadness. ]

“Yeah, that’s right. After all, even a great sage is the same person.”

[ yes. Even after I came to Aken Island, my thinking changed quickly. Well, I was influenced by meeting a lot of different people… Still, I guess it’s that person’s influence that made me decide to make a proper school. ]

“that person…? who?”

Before long, the name that came out of Merylda’s mouth was familiar.

[Glockt Elderbane. ]

He was the most famous archmage among the students of Sylvania and the teacher of Lucy Meirl, the most famous genius of the present generation.

[Once the imperial side exiled Sylvania to Aken Island, I didn’t want to leave it completely out of control. So I gave him a job right away. I wanted Sylvania to take charge of the Cohelton Lawless Zone and the children of influential families who were left behind from the imperial side. ]

“Is the person called the Great Wise man looking at Anna?”

[Well, that’s right. I didn’t seem to be offended… Anyway, the three children I entrusted with were the first three to enter the Sylvania Academy. Well, at that time, there were no proper buildings, so it was more like a school than a school. ]

Merylda asked if she still remembered the name.

[Teslin McLaugh, Gloct Elderbane, Philona Bloomriver. ]

The three disciples first received by the Great Sage Sylvania. They are the first students to benefit from this Sylvania Academy.

[ I don’t know if you’ll believe me when I say this… Among them, Glockt Elderbane was such a blunt man that I really wondered if it was okay to be like this. It took him several months to learn one basic elemental magic. He was a child who should never become a wizard. ]

“I heard… Gloct Elderbane was a star-blessed archmage since childhood.”

[That’s just a rumor spread by the Elderbane family to make things up. ]

“…to a subject that knew such a large bomb, you kept your mouth shut.”

[Because I am basically not interested in the rise and fall of human families. ]

As if reminiscing about that time, Merylda gently closed her eyes and smiled.

A girl with her arms crossed, smiling cheerfully with her arms crossed, between the improvised school table and the blackboard.

A rare genius who will never be reborn twice in history.

And a young boy sitting at a shabby table that is embarrassing to even call it a desk, looking up at the blackboard with anxious eyes.

A cursed blunt born with such a desperate talent that I don’t know why he dreams of becoming a wizard.

It was not difficult to imagine the two of them making eye contact, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

[ Why do you think Sylvania built this school? ]

“…”

[He never understood Dunjae’s life all his life. So, while teaching the character Glock, I realized more than anyone else that there are far more people in the world who are not born with outstanding abilities. Well, it’s a matter to be aware of and move on, but… I said it. One of the driving forces was that he was a great guy than anyone else. He has a good heart on such a subject. And yet, he pretends to be strong and does a great job. uhh ]

Merylda jumped off the pile of books. I trudged as it was, and then opened the window of the hut.

The steeple of the Sylvania Academy rising far away can also be seen from this northern forest.

[Sometimes, it has become the most prestigious academy in the empire, where all kinds of geniuses are rampant and talents are blooming… But the foundation of this school is not like that. ]

“Then also…”

[ right. This school was originally built for dunjae. ]

Merylda looked up at the high spire, and spoke as if recalling the distant past.

[It was at first. ]

As if it was such a meaningless story, he blurted out the end of his words… Then he looked back and leaned against the window sill.

*The sabotage of Yenica Palerover was quite effective.

The festive scene at the Sylvania Academy is certainly grandiose for an ignorant outsider. Everywhere you go, cheerful students come and go, and you will be dazzled by just looking at the youthful days.

Yenika’s parents, Orte and Seyil, also fell in love with such a sight, so they followed Jenica’s lead and did all kinds of sightseeing.

I wanted to hang out with Ed Roth Taylor at the long-awaited festival, but for now, that’s not important. The most important thing is to help parents enjoy the festival without any worries and return home. Of course, there was a secondary goal of not meeting Ed Roth-Taylor in the process.

…in fact, it wasn’t secondary, that was the point.

Anyway, Orte and Seyla were led by Yenica and had a really fun time watching all sorts of magic presentations, demonstrations of magic tools, concerts, plays, and concerts that they had never seen before.

After returning to the dormitory, taking a breather, and the next day, seeing the bachelor where Yenica spends her usual day, watching the magic demonstration of famous wizards, attending the prayer meeting presided over by the saint, etc. A special experience that will never be complete for a lifetime. I drove it for these two days.

“Yenika…! Thanks to you, we are doing really well! Really… I have only one daughter…!”

“Hehehe… what, that much…”

Yenica, who was talking shyly, scratching her head, spoke while watching the line of imperial wagons crossing the Maxes Bridge.

“That… but… when… are you going to go back…?”

“Oh, oh…! Is that really Chloel’s royal carriage… It’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing…!”

“I will, honey! Your Majesty the Emperor and the Princess are riding in there… Can’t you see Princess Sellaha’s real life?!”

“Wow, such a great honor… can a villager like us be able to experience it…?”

“Honey, keep your back straight! We are the Baron’s big elders!”

“That’s right… This Orte Palerover… It’s a shame that only the memories of bending over in a man’s life remain…!”

“Right! I also settled in Pulan after seeing your lively appearance!”

“okay! I forgot! As a man, I was a man who made my life’s money to live proudly with my chest open! Cleaning the cow dung and fixing the fence… The flame inside that I forgot is rising… It’s all thanks to you being able to come to the big water… It’s all thanks to you, Yenica…!”

“Uh, uh… uh…”

After the procession of the imperial carriage is over, the next one is now the third year’s unification conference.

“please! I’ll have a look! You can’t go without seeing Ed when he says he’s coming!”

Yenika tied her hair and fell into deep thought. After all, there will be a huge crowd of spectators, so mixing in between them is not a problem.

Still… I can’t help but want to ask. I know it’s not very polite, but I just want to ask when will you go back to your hometown…!

Whether or not they knew her daughter’s impatience, Orte and Seyla Palerover didn’t even want to hide their peasant tea. With a stick of bread sold at a street vendor shoved into his mouth as a snack, he was looking at the guidebook and entering the audience seat at the dungeon.

Yenika followed her parents, swiping her face over and over again. He was busy wiping away the cold sweat.

Dyke, who was sitting still in the corner of the dark waiting room, slowly raised his head.

A few days ago, it was the same spot where Wade was trembling with Lucy in front of her. This time… he’s sitting there.

A long hallway leading to the dungeon, an iron fence seen beyond it.

And at the end of the large dungeon hall, you can see a small waiting room on the other side. The figure of an aristocratic blond boy sitting glimmeringly caught his eye, and Dyke shed a smirk.

The audience seats are full. At the top, there are even the seats of Princess Selaha and Emperor Chloel. It looks like you haven’t entered yet.

Defeat is not afraid What you are afraid of is your weakness.

I have no regrets in the life I have lived through thinking over and over again.

With that in mind, King of Fist Dyke Elpelan stood up from his seat.

If you are born as a man, there are times when you have to move forward even when you feel defeat. Dyke knew that better than anyone.
