Episode 13

In life, there comes a moment when everyone is put on the test bed. Even if it’s a rocktrin, it’s no different.

“That, Rockstrin.”

Semester is 3 weeks long.

Despite the unprecedented raid incident, Summer Turge quickly regained stability.

Other than the fact that six seats for the freshmen were vacant and Kanin’s lectures were replaced with other lectures, not much had changed.

In the first place, three were commoners, and the other three aristocrats were not very influential families, just hanging out among themselves. The atmosphere has calmed down and the children have become calm.

“What do you think, uh, what do you think?”

Therefore, the name of the lecture was replaced.

＜Creative Thinking＞.

The lecture hall was also a new type of lecture hall, not the large lecture hall where classes were always taken.

The process is simple.

Groups are randomly assigned, and an assistant brings and distributes an agenda that has recently become an issue in the magical world.

Four students sat around a round table.

I’m a freshman, so I’m not expecting results. The purpose of the class was to promote friendship and at the same time cultivate initiative thinking skills.

“Because we’ve all talked… … .”

by the way.

How can I do that?

“Hmm.”

Fellowship promotion. It’s fine at this point.

Since Yuxilla had already been hit, it didn’t matter if she could talk to the other students to some extent from now on.

The male student I spoke to was crying like a criminal, so I opened my mouth in a calm voice before he started crying.

However, even in the previous class, I just copied and wrote down the professor’s words in my notebook.

Can you be creative?

“The world is full of ironies.”

At times like this, you have to put an iron plate on your face. Let’s believe in ‘extraordinary’ individuality.

“At the time when chastity belts were popular, locksmiths accumulated great wealth.”

“… … ?”

“At the end of the war, which was refining the technology that killed the most people, medicine, the technology that saved the most people, was developed.”

“Uh, so.”

A male student who had been listening quietly to the side raised his glasses and said.

“What does that have to do with managing the firepower loss of fighter-type magic… … . Oh, I’m not asking! Because I didn’t understand… … .”

this guy is annoying

Fabian? Let’s remember the name for now.

It is because he is an excellent student.

“I-I think I know!”

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived from the other side.

It was a female student named Camilla who always sat three blocks away from me in the main lecture hall.

“Well, actually, I don’t know about the first one… … Because I have the most severe fire attribute. You usually cite two causes of firepower loss, right? Loss of Area Between Friction and Intermediate Area.”

“right.”

“In the past, many efforts were made to minimize the power lost due to friction, but now it has faded a lot. Noting that the energy lost from the projectile did not dissipate, but rather warmed the surrounding atmosphere.”

When a fire magician is paired with a wind magician, synergy occurs and the power of magic increases.

Fusion magic by name. It is also an important strategy to achieve high efficiency with low consumption.

“Since it has become standard to combine wind attribute magic… … If you always gain something on the other side of what you thought you lost.”

“Will there be something to be gained from the loss of each area?”

“There is a point.”

“Uh, how are you?”

I am fortunate to have many smart children.

I replied with a small smile to the members of the crew who were looking at me in a hurry.

yes you guys are right I think you’re right.

“Ehehe… … .”

However, if you are not wearing a hood, this is what happens. Most of the students who are not the main characters have low mental stats.

Let’s not laugh. be forced to

“This group is fast-paced.”

“Ah, Assistant Professor.”

“Unfortunately, we don’t assign points. Good job.”

A teaching assistant sneaked up and handed out another handout. three times the original amount.

“What I am sharing now is what was discussed in the third library of the Sorcery Society last November. ＜Study on phenomenon derived from loss of projectile mediation area＞.”

“Was there a correct answer?”

“Only on the first agenda. Instead, this is still an ongoing research issue. These are papers personally selected by Meiji Kanin.”

When there is a valuable discussion about magic, each branch of the Magic Society first determines its location by valuing it.

If it’s the 3rd library, it’s quite high, ranking 3rd, but it was curious that the research from last November was still ongoing.

“We are looking for ways to utilize the eight phenomena that occur in combination, and many potential proposals have been made, but the problem is that they all have similar efficiencies.”

“There were too many correct answers.”

“Or maybe the answer hasn’t come out yet? Please submit your opinions as individual assignments by next week. The four of you can leave the classroom, and you can continue to exchange opinions.”

Jump up.

I got up from my seat as soon as the assistant finished speaking.

“Good job everyone.”

Since there aren’t many opportunities to have a conversation with Rocktrin at such a close distance, the members looked at me with regret, but it’s not my job.

＜Creative Thinking＞ is a two-hour lecture. It’s only been 30 minutes since the lecture started. In other words, I had 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time.

‘I should go back and sleep.’

In fact, I’ve been sleeping less lately.

Even just preparing for the previous episodes, my body doesn’t have much left, and I even felt the burden of having to do midterm exams.

I think I’m overdoing it a little bit, but whenever I have free time like this, I managed to endure it if I make up for the lack of sleep.

I just came out of the lecture hall with such a smile on my face.

“Locks.”

A familiar voice caught my foot.

It was Hira, who was waiting on the bench near the back entrance of the lecture hall. It’s the first time I’ve spoken to you from a place other than the Tower of Truth.

“Did you come out early?”

“Our group solved it as soon as His Highness saw it.”

“I guess so.”

I don’t know what the agenda was because the groups were different, but the child would have found the correct answer in an instant.

The second problem given as an assignment will surely be solved with ease.

“What were you doing here?”

“I didn’t mean to do anything… … .”

“I can’t hear you very well.”

It was a voice barely audible, barely audible even to the unnecessarily bright Roxtrin’s ears.

“That’s it, Your Highness. Rocks will come out in a little while, so he told me to wait here.”

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“… … four.”

“But what if I was late?”

“I thought I would solve it quickly if it was Rocks.”

The reason I came out early was purely because my teammates were smart. I almost had to wait a long time.

“If you’re bored, would you like to talk?”

nod

She couldn’t make eye contact, probably because she was still ashamed of crying out loud in front of me.

In any case, the plan to go back to the room and rest was quickly dashed. It’s a pity, but there is a way to distinguish between public and life. this is a public thing

“The garden has become more crowded these days.”

“Because Rocks often appear.”

“Where should we go somewhere quiet?”

“Sounds a bit risky when you say that… … Rocks?”

Even so, it follows well. That’s not to say there’s nowhere to turn to.

“Summer Turge is unnecessarily wide. A lot of weeds have grown here.”

Overgrown weeds grazed my ankles.

It is Summer Turge, which is said to be beautiful overall, but it is not necessarily so if the management is very perfect. Since he often deals with aristocrats from different countries, he selects people even if they are mere cleaners.

Since there are not many people, it is not possible to cleanly manage areas with few people.

In that respect, there is a part that harmonizes with nature, so it is said that it is more beautiful.

“I’ve only been to Jungang-daero, so this is the first time I’ve been to a place like this. There really is no one.”

“Come on, this way.”

“yes? I don’t think there’s a road there… … .”

He held out his hand to Hira, who was looking around.

A narrow alley between the Professor Research Building and the Agricultural Research Building, west of Jungang-daero.

On the stairs halfway through, I suddenly lightly step on the low handrail and climb onto the fence.

After pulling Hira, who had been clumsily holding hands, to come up, I moved on, cutting off the spider webs and twigs that reached my head.

‘It’s really useless.’

very regrettably.

＜Academy Summer Turge＞ doesn’t have a common hidden piece. Every game I’ve ever made is like that.

Cheats eaten raw?

Legendary hidden class?

A scam that just eats it and it’s over?

A hidden secret room that becomes tenfold stronger when you enter and exit?

Why is there such a dog?

“Be careful. The grass is a little tough.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe in Rocks… … . It seems like a place where something shouldn’t come.”

To be honest, I don’t think it would be unfair.

He easily overcomes those who live like blood and sweat without making a single effort, and easily laughs at the weak.

That’s why my game is so difficult.

The walls were doubled and tripled so that weaklings who were accustomed to such play could never break through.

Right now, I am blocked by that wall and unable to learn even a single 2-star magic.

I don’t regret it.

“Everything has arrived.”

So, all I know is knowledge that I have no place to put to use except at times like this.

“Wow… … .”

If you come out through a shady crevice, you will see a field of green wheat in the open field of view.

[A wide field of wheat. It was just a green wheat field with no fancy flowers.]

Beauty is hidden in every corner of Summer Turge.

Perceptions are different.

Someone will hit the cherry blossoms on Jungang-daero in splendor, and the tea table in the sun-drenched lawn garden is no less.

And this is my second favorite place after the evening view from the tower.

The weather was just right.

[But sometimes it’s better if it’s a windy day, it’s a bit chilly and the sky is cloudy.

Wheat also blooms. There is a flower that shyly sits down and blooms like the first snow that has arrived at the end of an ear that has not ripened yet.

It looks like a very wide and mysterious magic carpet, if you watch it sway side by side in the wind. If I get on it, it seems like it will take me somewhere.]

“It’s a bit like that because there’s no such thing as a chair.”

I took off my robe and laid it out on a moderately flat surface, and I sat down on the weeds next to it. Will there be no worms?

Hira gazed across the wheat field as if possessed, then gently knelt down on the robe I had laid out.

“You are pretty.”

“right?”

Actually, I don’t think it makes much sense. Because there’s Rockstrin’s face right next to it.

Still, it was worthwhile to bring him to see that he couldn’t take his eyes off the wheat field for a long time. What should I say at a time like this… … .

I don’t know. things will work out.

Anyway, it’s level 10 charm. No matter what you say, you will burst into laughter.

“When I was young, when my relatives got together, everyone called me rice cake.”

“At Aindarroch?”

“Ugh. right.”

Of course, I’m talking about me, not Aindar Locke.

In this world view, rice is also cultivated, but rice that has not been improved in varieties is difficult to grind and is not tasty compared to wheat. It is only grown on a small scale in regions where wheat does not grow well.

So even if there is rice cake, it is the food of the common people. It would not be easy to pick it up and eat it from the great nobles Yuxilla or Aindarok.

“Puh, why did you have to look for rice cakes?”

“You mean you like rice cakes so much. But I like sweets and candies much better than rice cakes, right?”

“Yeah, everyone is like that. So?”

“In a way, it’s a mistake.”

I said looking down at the wheat fields.

It is literally a memory from long ago. Everyone has one or two like that. Nearly 20 years have passed, but for some reason, the memories are vivid.

“I just ate the rice cake because my grandmother gave it to me, but this guy eats rice cake well, he looks like a general, and he was praised, so I can’t say no.”

“Um, I think I know somehow.”

“As a result, when my relatives see me, they scold me for saying that I like rice cakes differently from kids these days. I brought rice cakes as a gift that I haven’t seen in a long time. Oh my gosh.”

I remember the name. Myeongga Alley Rice Cake House.

In particular, the sirutteok, which was not very sweet and full of red beans, was the worst.

“Aindarlock was a more interesting family than I thought.”

“Don’t talk. I secretly took all the rice cakes piled up like that and threw them into the river at night. I got scolded by my father when he found out about that. You threw away what you received as a gift. I was in tears because of the unfairness.”

“yes? Did Rocks cry?”

“I don’t cry, what? it’s when you’re young I cried very sadly. it’s not tasty I don’t like rice cakes. Then I got even more scolded.”

“What are you scolded for?”

My father was a strict man.

Come to think of it, even after leaving home and living alone after the age of 20, I hardly remember having deep conversations with my father.

Then he sat me down in front of the sofa and my father said.

“How do you know what you didn’t say?”

don’t know if you don’t tell

At that point, there was an assortment of stories that fit together properly.

“I feel like this is my life, but in reality I was living up to expectations. Parents, teachers, friends, anyone.”

entered the business administration department.

The more reputable the university, the more so. The guys around me were so eager.

The library seats were not vacant at all, and there was not a single person who fell asleep in the large lecture hall.

I wonder if this would be enough, but I’m having a hard time getting a job.

I only found out about it when I graduated from school.

“I’m not living my life.”

It was no fun.

What to do when you earn money I drive a nice car, live in a nice house, eat delicious food, and sometimes travel when I can afford it.

―Something like that

it wasn’t my dream

“From then on, I think I did what I wanted to do. I cut off all trivial relationships and shut myself up at home.”

started studying

At twenty-five, I opened my first programming book. My head, which I thought was stiff, moved quickly. It was enjoyable even with less sleep. Graphics, sound, scenario… … What can be done has increased.

Fortunately, the world was good.

The engine and tools were standardized, so there was nothing I couldn’t do if I had the will to do it.

When a year passed, one or two small finished products came out. I couldn’t make money with it, so I filled it up with tutoring and part-time jobs.

After about 3 years, I came up with a result that I was satisfied with myself. At some point, I was getting recognition from people around me. I earned enough money to live without doing anything else.

Somehow, I met some nice people.

“Ah, did you talk too much about me?”

“… … no.”

I turned my head around and sure enough, Hira was not looking at the wheat field, but at me.

I don’t know if you heard what I said. Wouldn’t it have mattered if he was reciting Hunminjeongeum?

“No one will ever tell anyone that.”

“Because we are friends.”

“Friend, Rado.”

“It’s embarrassing, so I don’t go anywhere and talk carelessly. Hmm.”

I yawned involuntarily. It was also difficult to hide the tiredness.

“I must have taken up too much time.”

“I was the one who brought you here. are you okay. Are you busy with anything?”

“It’s not like that.”

Hira’s gaze returns to the distant wheat field. The clouds lifted and the day broke. If the sunlight is too bright, the white flowers are hard to see.

Autumn is good at that time.

“It’s pretty here even in the fall.”

Well, after I said it, it seemed a bit of a mistake.

It is too obvious that wheat fields are pretty in autumn, and the land in Yuxilla is fertile and wide. You must be tired of seeing that kind of scenery.

Cliches are no fun… …

“Bring me back in the fall, then.”

Oh, but I was a rockstar. It doesn’t matter.

“It doesn’t matter any time.”

“You shouldn’t see this too often.”

“Isn’t it better to see it every day?”

“Anyway, promise me first.”

“What’s wrong? okay.”

I said it like it was nothing, but in fact it made me sick.

“Then I will tell you my story.”

I know you can’t keep this promise.

“Why don’t you just do it now?”

“I’m thinking too much right now, so I think I’m going to say something embarrassing. I will prepare and tell you.”

“That’s shameful.”

The wind has stopped, and the wheat fields standing upright are not much fun. I lay flat on my back. Weeds that had grown to a span of length tickled his cheeks.

Can I just close my eyes for 10 minutes? That would be fine… … .

fluff. There was a sound from the side.

“There will be bugs.”

“I’m not really afraid of that.”

“Even dirt.”

“Rox.”

I brushed the dirt off Hira’s hair. Anyway, Rockstrin is good-looking no matter how dirty it is.

I don’t care who sees it, so I don’t need to worry about grooming, but you wouldn’t… … It was when I was about to say that.

I didn’t ask in the first place.

“I was looking at these things.”

Hera was looking up.

“uh… … right.”

When I opened my eyes belatedly, it was interesting as well. Fortunately, there were no bugs.

Contrary to the open wheat field, the leaves covering the top of the head can only be seen up to this point.

“Not much fun.”

“Whoops, rather than sitting around and drinking bitter tea with the kids with ferocious eyes.”

Lying side by side on the soil, Hira suddenly turned her head to me and smiled brightly.

“What a scene. fun.”

long eyelashes.

Dirt-stained scarlet hair.

Bright yellow eyes like spring flowers.

A bright smile without hiding anything.

It looked so pretty that I involuntarily laughed.

What is it, the charm is level 3.
