Chapter 66
By the time we arrived at Delrin’s lake by joining Leffen’s side, the situation was already over.
“Ah, Luid.”
Amelia lifted Peter with one hand like a green onion root.
Peter’s body is limp.
“I already got it.”
“It was already in a dying state. “I guess Louis’ magic was useful.”
One of Amelia’s powers, ‘Wide Area Sword Technique’, was the most powerful technique she could use.
However, as the name suggests, it is a technique used against multiple people, so it is somewhat weak against a single opponent.
However, because Ruid collected all his sword energy and concentrated it on one point, its destructive power was beyond imagination.
As evidence, there is a deep crater in Delrin’s lake.
“…It’s truly amazing. “Is this the Windsor sword I’ve only heard about?”
“Professor, I am also grateful to you for bringing my younger brother back safely. “Please put it down now.”
Ruid jumped out of Leffen’s arms. Instead of landing, I just lay down.
“…Louis?”
“I’m sleepy.”
“Well, you moved around a lot today. “Anyway, I’m worried.”
Amelia, who half-heartedly threw Peter away like she was throwing away trash, crouched in front of Louis.
“It’s because my physical strength is so weak.”
“My sister is ignorant.”
Amelia stroked Luid’s head once and stood up. I muttered while looking at Peter who had lost his mind.
“It would have been tricky if I hadn’t given my all from the beginning. That warlock tried to run away. If it weren’t for Ruid’s barrier, it would have been successful. I don’t know how to stop the warlock’s fog. “It’s thanks to you, Ruid.”
Amelia looked at the sky. A translucent membrane surrounded the space. It was one of the arrangements made by Ruid.
‘As expected, my younger brother is smart.’
Amelia’s eyes were full of affection.
How was such a cute and smart baby born in Windsor? I was very proud of whose younger brother I was.
Ruid said triumphantly.
“Did I tell you? “We have to lure them in.”
“huh. If it wasn’t for Louis, we would have been in big trouble. “It’s a disability.”
Amelia smiled brightly. He soon glanced at Peter again and asked curiously.
“But how did you know? “It will appear in the Forest of Delrin.”
“Because it’s a diversionary operation.”
This episode doesn’t end here. In fact, Peter’s capture itself was something that wasn’t in the original story.
Just like his superiors, Peter was a guy who enjoyed causing and watching events. There are different types of warlocks, and Peter is a ‘necromancer.’
In other words, he was originally a very difficult opponent. Rather than helping Justin’s growth, he was only hindering him, so I intentionally let him leave a little quickly.
“It’s normal to make a fuss when you steal something. “Delin’s Forest is the best for aggro.”
“Hmm. I see.”
It seemed like it was too difficult a story for Amelia.
Ruid stretched out his hand to Amelia. Amelia’s role was separate.
“I’m going to sleep. hug me.”
“Yes, yes.”
Amelia lightly picked up Lloyd and held him in her arms. Ruid hugged Amelia’s neck and slowly closed his eyes.
And I muttered to myself.
‘Justin, now it’s your turn. It’s probably going to be really hard, but fighting.’
Your role ends here.
All that remained was the role of the protagonist.
**
Wow, Miho opened her mouth wide and yawned.
“What is Ruid planning?”
Hercy and Damon. And Irina was trotting along the second floor of the main building.
“Hmm. I’m not sure. But I think it’ll be fun.”
Irina’s narrowed eyes narrowed beautifully. He said in a friendly manner, crossing Hersy’s arms.
“Hey, but you know what, does Lady Hercy like Ruid?”
Hersy’s face turned red at Irina’s unexpected words.
“W-what are you talking about, Irina?”
“Is that so? It’s so chilly that a cute junior with the nickname ‘Hercy of the Wind’ is following him around all the time-”
“That nickname is… because I’m Minerva.”
“Oh, I guess not. I heard that. “If you even try to talk to him, he suddenly disappears and is called the Hercy of the Wind.”
“….”
Hersi turned as red as a tomato and walked while looking at the floor.
“…is it tea?”
“Oh my, my.”
Irina covered her mouth and slowly opened her eyes. It was a habit that came out when I saw something interesting.
“Honestly, a little…?”
Hersi felt like the hairs on her entire body were standing on end.
He said with confused eyes.
“Lu, did Ruid notice it too?”
Irina briefly thought of Ruid and immediately shook her head.
“That child wouldn’t know even if a war broke out right next to him.”
“Yes…?”
Hersi was confused whether he should like it or hate it.
“You’re having trivial conversations.”
Damon clicked his tongue and crossed his arms.
“Oh my, my younger brother speaks arrogantly.”
“If you are the princess, keep your temper, girl.”
Irina smiled brightly at Damon.
“It’s already been 10 years since I gave up my position as princess. Isn’t it the same for you too? “You damn prince.”
“Hmph, I’ve never been concerned about titles like that.”
When Lucius, originally the crown prince, became emperor, Irina and Damon gave up their positions as princess and prince, respectively, and were given the surname Kairos.
That story is already over 10 years old.
‘…It’s completely different from Windsor Street.’
Damon and Irina seemed to be on very bad terms. Aside from the fact that we didn’t get along, they didn’t even seem close to begin with.
‘As expected, Windsor was something unique.’
Just by looking at Amelia, I can’t help but feel anxious for not being able to save Ruid. Children of noble families are close to each other. This is really rare.
“Where on earth is that lowlife? “I personally came here, but I couldn’t even see my face, which was really arrogant.”
Damon put his hands in his pockets and looked dissatisfied.
“Probably in room 9.”
“Hoo, how do you know?”
“…Four years. “That’s harsh.”
“Don’t worry about personal matters, Hersi.”
Yet, it was Damon who showed his sweetness by subtly changing his name.
“Next to room 9 is the president’s office. From what I heard, he is staying in room 9 and receiving private lessons from the president.”
“Private lessons? Was he worth it?”
“well. From what I heard, he possessed rare attributes. Anyway, I understand that it is a rare case and the president himself provides guidance. “He’s not a very kind person, so he seems to be having a hard time.”
“Huh, it looks like the old man was quite bored. “After he resigned from his position as president, did his senility worsen?”
Soon room number 9 appeared in front.
“Get out of the way.”
Damon opened the door to room 9. There really was Justin inside. Four or five commoners, along with Catherine.
Damon trotted away. Hersi and Irina watched the scene.
“…Really, why did Ruid give such an order? “Do you hate him?”
“I’m not sure, but I’m excited. A suspicious, narrow-eyed role that appears when the conflict reaches its peak. “I will definitely complete this role.”
Irina clenched her fist and covered her mouth. Her eyes were half open, but she was slightly flushed. It is an anticipation of what will happen in the future.
**
Justin was chatting in room 9.
“Do you know your worth? “It’s a private lesson from the academy president!”
Catherine listened fearfully. Justin scratched his head.
“Well… it’s just because it’s hard.”
“Wow, it’s frustrating. stuffy. “Why on earth would you, President, treat someone who doesn’t even know these values…!”
Recently, Justin was receiving private lectures from Clifford.
After regular classes, I always go to the president’s office to practice various things.
Of course, Justin knew this was a huge opportunity.
I know very well, but…
“I just run for half a day. “I’ve never taught magic.”
“…?”
All Clifford did was drag him out to the playground and make him run.
“They say physical strength is essential for a wizard. I’m doing it because I’m told to, but honestly… I want to stop. “I must succeed.”
Justin had two goals. One of them is to succeed and give to the people in the neighborhood after returning home.
To do so, magical achievement was necessary. However, I couldn’t be more embarrassed because I kept wasting time in useless places.
“Well, that’s a bit strange. “They said I was a sports fanatic, but I guess it was true.”
“Rather, Justin.”
At that time, Jose, a commoner who had been quietly listening to the story, spoke seriously.
“Did you tell that to the president? “The great contradiction of the reward and penalty point system.”
Justin nodded.
“Of course – but I don’t think he’s interested.”
“Damn, is the president really on the noble side?”
Recently, commoners have been arguing that the ‘rewards and penalties system’ is unilaterally advantageous to the nobility.
It is said that stores are awarded based on skill and penalty points are given if an accident occurs, but so far, only nobles have been ranked at the top of the system of rewards and penalties.
This is because nobles, on average, have good magic skills and have learned etiquette so there is nothing to break the rules.
“We have to stand in solidarity. “This trashy system is a bad habit that must be eliminated.”
“Oh, but what is a bad habit?”
Fat Hans, the son of the Kerven merchant next to him, was impressed.
“…But it’s not a good idea to use drastic measures.”
“It’s not good! It’s the only means we have against the nobility. If you don’t do that, who will listen? “Our discrimination!”
“Why should I listen? “Is it tilted?”
“You just end up being the same as some nobles.”
“Listen more than that. Well, here’s what happened this time.”
…Conversations among commoners were always heated like this. Justin sometimes felt frustrated.
But then.
“Hey, look over there.”
Damon walked this way.
What is he doing in Room 9?
But there was no way that bastard Damon would approach the commoners with good intentions. Justin said, raising the tension.
“…Damon Kairos.”
Damon was staring at him in front.
He lifted his finger and twirled it around without saying a word.
“uh?”
“Turn around, lowlife. “There is something I must do.”
Justin blinked.
I don’t know what it was, but I did as I was told. It’s not a difficult request.
But-
blah!
Damon kicked Justin’s ass!
“Oops!”
Justin was suddenly pushed and fell to the floor.
Catherine approached with an angry gait and shouted.
“What are you doing?!”
“Know it as the honor of your family.”
“….”
Katherine was speechless at Damon’s overly confident attitude.
Justin, who was shocked, quickly got up. He was more embarrassed than angry.
“Why, why are you suddenly doing this?”
“It’s my heart.”
Justin quickly regained his composure.
“This is not right-”
“Come on-”
Irina came in with a proud look on her face, clapping her hands softly.
“Why are you guys fighting?”
Damon frowned.
“…It’s not your turn yet.”
“…Did you? sorry. “Shall we do it again?”
“Since you’re already here, keep going.”
‘…What’s the story?’
Justin didn’t understand this situation.
Whether he understood it or not, things progressed.
Irina raised her index finger with a serious expression.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s not good to fight~”
“….”
“Ahh! How can we fight at the Academy… Ugh, it’s ruined. “I should have written some lines!”
Irina pulled out her hair and hid behind Hercy.
Hercy sighed.
“You were too motivated, Irina.”
“Is that so? Is Ruid going to be disappointed? “I think he’s watching from somewhere…”
“Over there.”
Catherine’s eyebrows were wrinkled.
“Can you please explain what this is?”
Suddenly Damon kicked Justin’s ass.
Then Irina appeared and stopped the fight with an awkward gesture and tone of voice.
The fight hasn’t even happened yet!
‘How much do you think about a person?’
Catherine was angry. These clueless commoners may not know it, but in the noble world, this clearly had an insulting meaning.
“Why are you kicking the butt of someone who was still…”
Catherine, who was about to argue with authority, had to stop.
“What happens next…? “Will Hersy do it for you?”
“…I only had instructions to go for a walk.”
“This really is the answer of a model student who only behaves according to the textbook.”
“Well, wouldn’t a woman like that be fun?”
Beep-
Tinnitus rang in Catherine’s ears. It sounded like a kettle.
She finally opened the lid.
“What are you doing now!!”
It was that moment.
Clink!
The magic light bulbs broke one by one.
The moment the window cracked
.
Pop-.
A pitch-black darkness arrived where you couldn’t even see an inch in front of you.
“I-I didn’t do anything.”
Catherine hurriedly waved her hand. It was dark so she couldn’t see it, but somehow she felt like everyone was looking at her.
