Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 77.3 - The First Year at the Academy - Court Magician (3)

"It was the advanced magic [Crystal Thorn] she used. How much has it grown in the six years since then? My [Basic Appraisal] can't see it, and I have no idea."

A top-class monster?

I shake my head.

As long as they're talking about the strongest human, they're probably in the human category.

"And your partner–"

"Is there anyone else?"

I'm already full of them.

"They're not people, they're monsters. Bice is using Eleph as her handler. It's quite a thing, too, and they say she controls lightning magic, even though she's still a teen."

"That's also very nasty."

When I met Nerio on Midsummer's Eve, I saw Eleph's fur for the first time.

According to Roland's story, "When you become old, you handle lightning," but the noblewoman's Eleph must either have a great deal of talent or be a mutated breed.

Eleph, who became a thunder deer in either case, is a young dragon class.

If she grows up further, she will become an untouchable monster.

But still, there was an extraordinary duo.

They should have just given orders like a boy who is trying to become a master.

Elphimia continues when I'm a little tired.

"The Holy Knight almost repelled it. [Basic Appraisal]. Well, I can't see a single word."

"Is a Holy Knight a high-ranking Holy Knight? Forgive me, I'm not that strong."

Far from being an intermediate level, this one is desperately trying [One-handed Sword 7].

Please don't compare me to such a monster. "I understand. It doesn't seem to matter whether the [Basic Appraisal] is correct or not. It's probably a comprehensive quality, but it's not clear."

Elphimia cuts off her words and pretends to remember them.

"A long time ago, I was played by a little kid. He's the son of the captain of the Royal Guard, but he didn't seem to have any talent for magic, let alone weapons."

"That's odd. Qualities also affect the speed of learning."

"That's right. There aren't many appraisal holders, so there are many unknowns."

"That's right. There aren't many appraisal holders, so there are many unknowns."

At the same time.

"I came here after I sold the materials."

"I came here because I was bored."

"Excuse me"

Ted, Gemma, and Nails came in.

When they see the visitors, they start screaming, "Oh, it's an elf! They started to make a fuss.

"It's not Elf, it's Elphimia."

"It's Elphimia!"

She restates it. They are so disciplined in a strange way.

I prepare Ted and the others' tea.

In the meantime, they were doing whatever they wanted, talking to Elphimia and reaching for the dried fruits on the table when Gemma spotted the golem with her own eyes.

"What is this? A hunk of iron?"

"It's the result of an iron golem."

Ted and Nails react to these words and gather around the golem.

"It's humanoid! Wow, it looks stronger than the golem on the wall!"

"Well noticed. That was strong, that guy."

"You beat it?

"In a manner of speaking."

He cheered and started to climb up on the golem for some reason.

Children love heights, don't they?

Looking at these children of the same age, I asked Elphimia.

"Do you still have time?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

I put the tea on the table and asked Elfimir, "Is there still time?

I set the tea on the table and called Ted and the kids over.

"You guys, sit down for a minute."

They jumped off the golem and took their seats.

With a cough, I begin.

"I've always thought you guys were too uneducated."

"You don't say that outright, do you?"

"It's true. So, if you're not busy, let's study."

"No!"

It was Gemma who rejected me immediately and with all her might.

For a time, Ted was seriously trying to become a Cartilard student. Nails was smart too. Only Gemma was more instinctive.

"I won't force. But Gemma is going to be an adventurer, too."

Gemma nodded his head with a wary look. He's like a stray cat.

"So how do we find the requests? The guild receptionist won't read out every single request. And you have to sign a completed request. You should at least be able to write my name."

"Ted will take care of everything!"

"What?"

"Look, you're astounded. I mean, Ted. You too. Don't just train your sword."

The three of them turned their heads and looked down.

I'm not scolding them.

I am not saying that they should read difficult literature. A certain amount of knowledge is essential for an adventurer. Otherwise, you'll have to rely on your friends for everything, and your client will look down on you.

I thought about that and suddenly remembered.

"This is Markant–he's a former farmer, too."

He's a veteran adventurer who, until recently, had taken care of me in various ways.

Hearing his name, the three turned their attention to me.

"He couldn't even write his name, and he had a lot of trouble after he became an adventurer. After that, he studied hard and became able to read names and requests. It's not just about power. You need knowledge too if you want to get to the next level."

"That old man too…"

Ted muttered, and Gemma crossed his arms and began to worry.

I said that the real-life examples made it easier for him to imagine. By the way, some things are a little suspicious, but I won't mention them.

"Once you can read and write a little, the rest won't be too hard. First of all, you should be able to write your name. You'll need it when you register as an adventurer."

"Oh, registration!"

There were some very positive voices.

Elphimia, who was silently listening to such an exchange, asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps I can help with that?"

"Correct."

"But they're practicing to write their name. Do you need it?"

"Yes, I need it."

She has to listen to what I have to say. First of all, names.

We start preparing before the feeling cools down.

After that, Ted and his friends continued their studies until it was time for Elphimia to return to the dormitory.

During the study, Elphimia gave me a look of protest, but she seemed to be smitten by Ted and the others' enthusiasm, and in the end, she turned into an excellent tutor. Surprisingly, she seems to be the type who extends his students by praising them.

Gemma's weakness seems to have faded, and it looks like he'll soon be able to read and write.
