Episode 15

smart.

“Hmm, check. Sir Rockstrin.”

The voice that had been reverberating through the hallway a moment before had gone, and a polite and dignified voice came from the other side of the door. After going through this a few times, I got used to it.

I naturally opened the door.

“Hello, Mrs. Melida.”

“Ohoho, I told you the other day, but I haven’t gotten married because I haven’t had a partner yet.”

“Oh, excuse me. Melida. You work hard.”

“Of course it’s for you.”

“Haha, you’re even joking.”

It’s a good example of how Rocktrin’s violent appearance worked in a bad way. This ajumma can’t understand with the vague expression.

I mean, I didn’t want to remember.

“Even today, your beauty seems to have no way to fade. How are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“There is not.”

“Hmmmm, where? I think the room is a bit cold considering you caught a cold before… … Maybe the stove is broken!”

“The stove is fine. I’m used to the cold, so I lowered the temperature for a while.”

“Ah, that! It must be a magic that requires a considerable level even in the water attribute… … As expected, there is no doubt about your brilliant talent—”

Took!

Then a sound was heard from inside the room.

The sound of something like a book falling to the floor. Melida thrust her head into the door.

“Who is inside?”

A guy who isn’t very active gets into trouble at times like this. what did you touch

“… … I pick up a cat and raise it.”

“No, a stray cat? I was told to catch and kill all the tribes I see, but there must have been some left. If it’s dirty, and if your noble body gets scratched!”

“Melida.”

I said, shaking my head.

“I’m very tired right now, but I want you to go back.”

“still-“

“I have less patience than I look.”

Melida’s relaxed face hardens a little only after she blatantly straightens her face. At this point, I’m probably noticing it.

“Because we will see each other often.”

A few seconds passed before Melida lowered her head.

“… … All right.”

The housekeeper’s authority in Summer Turf is enormous. He is also an institutional aristocrat.

Unless it is very rude, there is no nominal blame for entering a student’s room without permission. Even if it’s the child’s room, it’s the same.

Still, the reason Melida takes a step back is because, after all, I am Rockstrin. Because it easily buys favor from anyone.

“Caution, you will have to. There are many eyes besides mine.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

thud.

What are you staring at, I can’t see the dust in the corner there. As soon as the door closed, Melida’s nervous voice filled the hall again.

Should that be considered caring?

I locked the doorknob and returned. Auril was frozen, squatting under the desk where the book fell.

Wasn’t your body frozen?

“Ahh… … .”

“I see what you want to say. I sent it back for noticing it, so I’ll be back soon.”

‘Understanding in the form of representation’, which had fallen on the floor, was returned to its original position. Only then did Euril’s stiff limbs move.

“It went well, so don’t worry about it. Because I just need to be careful. There is no one else to bring.”

As if it was of no use, I closed my mouth tightly and buried my face under the scarf.

It would be enough if I send it back a little later, but Euril seems to have a corner where he cares for nothing.

“… … Why am I always.”

“always?”

“Is it just a nuisance?”

“Iknow, right.”

I think I know a little bit now.

You owe a debt and you have to pay it back. That is the motivation that moves Auril.

The reason why I had to turn a blind eye to my compulsion for work on the playground and lend me a scarf because I was hurt instead.

So I guess I’ll try to end it now. Because I’ve always been hurt by those things.

– Whoever you like.

“Well, being a person is a bit calculating.”

Right before falling off the cliff, I was in a situation where I had to grab at least a straw, but I couldn’t help but hold on to the thick rope called Euril.

We desperately need this guy’s strength to survive.

“This scarf, for example. How much do you know?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know. But you borrowed it for quite a while. How much do you pay in money?”

“… … I don’t know.”

“I can’t live without counting things like that. Even if it looks like giving and receiving, someone will definitely give more. Whether it’s nice or dull, there’s always someone who loses anyway.”

He held out his muffled scarf.

In this case, of course, it is the side that suffers the loss. Because the value of Rockstrin in the progression of the episode is incomparable to that of Auril.

The point is to cleverly hide it.

To make Auril always feel obliged to me.

“Then what do I do?”

“What can I do?”

More at noblemtl com

Just be quiet, that’s what I mean.

With a little bit of apologetic heart, without being able to return the trivial favor you received from me.

“To the world. There is one thing that is sometimes cowardly and irresponsible but very warm, and it’s a pity Auril doesn’t know that.”

“what is that?”

“Say ‘Help’.”

Euril crouched and raised her head.

“Where is that?”

After that day, we barely made eye contact, but it was a very angry expression. I guess I can’t admit it.

I just shrugged.

“That… … .”

ask for help

Father has already shouted countless times.

no one listened

Will it change now?

“… … It’s too late.”

Euril stood up without even receiving the scarf. I asked Euril, who was walking away while sitting down.

“Aren’t you going to take it? I think I will take it out again in the winter.”

“You take it.”

oops It’s not easy either.

It was an expression of his will to pay off the debt somehow. Of course, there was only one scarf, and Euril had an extra one.

However, it wasn’t long before I saw the reaction.

Before leaving the door, Euril left a word. It’s like the only achievement for me, who doesn’t accumulate levels or anything.

“Anyway, thank you.”

thud. The door is closed.

I’m okay

It is a body that has no choice but to become a villain.

“From now on, we will have individual free practice sessions twice a week.”

The use of offensive magic within the campus is strictly controlled.

However, most of the magic—what is called several stars are based on attack magic. Therefore, students need a space to periodically check their magical achievements.

“There are times when time overlaps with other grades, but it would be a good study to learn the magic of seniors. Now, unfortunately, they do not overlap.”

Despite being underground, the interior is bright and spacious, filled with lights. A football field seemed like it would fit.

“A wall like that can last up to 4 stars?”

“They said they did a new repair this time.”

“Since it is said that Meiji Kanin personally led the construction… … .”

Although it was the site of a horrific incident just a few weeks ago, the laboratory has been immaculately rebuilt.

Even freshmen are allocated time to use the practice room on a regular basis after just one month.

At this point, you can practice attack magic by actually using it.

“Most of the seats are open, but there can be any amount of magic that is embarrassing to see or that is being studied in secret. Over there, you can use the room with the barrier. Of course, since we can’t see it, we can’t correct it.”

Total class time is 3 hours.

Four professors, one for each of the four attributes, walk around the practice room, visually inspect and correct each student’s magic.

This large-scale correctional map, which is only possible because it is Summer Turge, is the essence of magic academy education.

It is said that there is no correct answer in magic, but that there is a wrong answer is a different story. Thanks to this, it is not an exaggeration to say that the level of the students’ magic rises almost as soon as they breathe.

So I am

“Lord Rox… … ?”

“Of course you went inside the barrier.”

“I don’t think we’ll understand even if we see it anyway.”

“I’m still curious!”

hid

magic practice? Of course I should too. Getting used to it obviously means a lot.

“”Will Tro Tass””

But I can only use 1-star magic.

You can’t let anyone else know about it. So I could only make a small voice that was close to breathing.

Whiing! Empty!

A gust of wind hit the wall and scattered helplessly. At times like this, I feel helpless all over again. The target of comparison is also clear.

‘The magic Baeller used… … .’

If it’s a spell, I remember it.

It’s the same attribute, but much more complicated like a 4-star magic.

Magic using quadruple chain forms (compression, continuation, superposition, rotation) and double independent solutions (expansion, forward). The name given in the 2nd library of the Sorcery Society,

“Blade Vortex”.

“”Wil Tro Le Ripper Routhe””

“Aww, stop Rocks!”

An outstretched hand covered her eyes.

Blocking sight was a classic way to incapacitate a mage. Because it makes it impossible to solve any of the three elements of the formula.

“… … surprise.”

“Big deal! Use something like that!”

The child who had shaken her arms and disrupted her magical power was proudly blocking my way.

Why is there a barrier?

“I was just pretending.”

“Even if you raised your magic power?”

“Because it can withstand even 4-star magic.”

“But if someone like Rox uses it, it wears out quickly! It is definitely an imperial property.”

It was made using precious materials, so you need to be careful.

But isn’t that what the story is about? Heck, I don’t think the day will ever come when I can scratch this wall with my magic.

“Were you by my side?”

“yes. It happened to be nearby!”

“I purposely came to a corner seat with no one around—”

“yes! by chance!”

“Yes.”

Oh, you will.

Your interest in me is too deep.

Of course, as Ai-nim is a major character that you should always be friendly with, it’s definitely a good thing to pretend to be friendly first.

It was still too early for Rockstrin’s lousy magic talent to be exposed.

“Are you not going back?”

“I have nothing to practice.”

“I have to.”

It’s pretty weak.

It’s not that the room in the practice room is small, but anyway, since the two of them are alone in an enclosed space, Ai-nim was never a suitable person.

“But isn’t Rocks like that too? It’s not fun to control your strength in a place like this.”

Tak, Tak, every time Ai-nim snaps his fingers, a small fireball is created and flies away.

Even if you look at it like that, it’s a 2-star magic, so it explodes loudly every time it hits a wall. This is the magic whose power was halved because the spell was not chanted.

If you want to check the status.

“under.”

It’s ridiculous.

The wind attribute, which was 3 stars, has now become 4 stars.

The mental and magical stats, which were designed to be the most difficult to climb, also rose one step at a time. in one month.

I’m jealous.

“I see only what I can see.”

“What do you see?”

“His Highness must be working hard behind the scenes. I really don’t know.”

I’m wringing my hair out where you can’t even see, but you don’t know.

That’s right, even if I squeezed it out like that, it wouldn’t change noticeably.

“My wish is one. Even if I eat to my heart’s content and sleep soundly all day and wake up, I hope a better tomorrow than yesterday is waiting for me.”

“You’re too greedy, Rox.”

“Then, from then on, we compromise little by little. Sometimes I eat tasteless food, study boring things, or sleep less.”

Maybe there’s no room for compromise, you know?

“If tomorrow is still the same, what will Your Highness do?”

“It is terrible. I want to die.”

“is that so.”

I smiled lightly.

A child with a great imagination would never come across such a situation, but he seemed to understand what I was talking about.

Enough to commit suicide without hesitation.

“Fortunately, the.”

So glad.

It’s because I’m here, not you.

“Level up is all up to you, Yonsuk-ah… … .”

“You’ve been saying a lot of weird things lately, Rox. Who are you talking to?”

“I got sick with the occasional outburst of nonsense. Never mind. Gangdong River Parkville, 568 Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul… … .”

Because I still have the confidence to hold on.
