Episode 22

From the island, follow the well-worn road to the beautifully decorated front gate of Somerset.

Aindarok’s four-wheeled carriage boasts an unrivaled presence, starting with its jet-black exterior.

The neat and luxurious black color and the gold color that stands out with restrained splendor were properly harmonized, and the beautiful and magnificent appearance was enough to catch the attention of students who were spending time in the garden near the main gate.

“Hey, that, that, that.”

“Really?”

“I saw it at the coronation ceremony.”

“Call the kids!”

The paragon of all wizards and all nobles.

The black wolf of the north, Coltman Aindarok, announced its appearance without hesitation.

“Bar, have you scheduled a visit… … ?”

“No, I didn’t catch it.”

“Then for what purpose… … .”

“It’s a purpose.”

rattle!

The employee who manages the front door must always write in the access control list.

Since quite a few members of the imperial family came and went, they thought they were confident that they would not be embarrassed even if the emperor were to come in person. It was a mistake.

Its gigantic body was fearsome, and its dark hair and expressionless face had the power to crush other beings around it.

He is the man who controls the northern part of the empire. My shoulders shrunk involuntarily, and my back bent.

But.

“I came to see my son. Is that enough?”

It was a gentle voice.

Only then did the servant swallow his saliva and write down the ledger with trembling hands.

“Confront Lockstrin Aindarok, yes. recorded.”

“Good job.”

It’s been a while since the classic carriage has been replaced by something seen at traditional events.

It is said that there is no aristocratic house without a horse-drawn carriage now, but Aindarlock’s was characterized by smooth movement without any noise or pitch.

“Long time no see.”

“It’s been almost 20 years. The feeling is new.”

After getting off at the parking lot, Coltman took a look around the campus.

Cherry trees line the central boulevard. A view of colorful flower beds, a calm lake, tea tables and lawns where women chat.

“It hasn’t changed.”

“Because it is still considered one of the main attractions of the continent. Isn’t it beautiful?”

“I just consider beauty to be right.”

There was nothing to get emotional about.

Due to the early death of the former head of the Aindarroch family, the young Coltman returned to the estate without graduating properly and succeeded to the county throne.

Even at the time, I never regretted not being able to leave my name on the list of alumni, so even now, I am not particularly impressed.

“The real Marquis Coltman!”

“Wasn’t that a lie?”

“Shall I ask for an autograph…? … ?”

attention is drawn

Even every step you take is noble enough to take your breath away.

It was Coltman who did not show up at any big event because he was worried about the safety of the empire.

It was a natural reaction since he appeared in Summer Turge, which was not even an institution.

Most of all, it was largely due to Rockstrin’s legendary status on campus.

No matter what anyone says, appearance is hereditary.

Coltman was also the owner of an unusual appearance.

“It’s noisy.”

“This old man is envious of such a youth.”

Coltman walked down Central Boulevard with his butler, Wilgen.

In the meantime, students seemed to be flocking to it little by little, but soon a crowd formed along Jungang-daero.

These immature people will be responsible for the future of the empire and, furthermore, the future of the continent. It’s lamentable when you think about it, but what can you do?

There must be a jade among these, and it will shine.

“There must have been an announcement nearby.”

“It seems to be over there. I can’t see it very well.”

“… … .”

“dismissal?”

Summer Turge ranks each test and selects a representative for each grade level. Even now, decades later, it has not changed.

At this time of year, freshmen have only taken one midterm exam, and that will determine their representative.

2nd and 3rd graders have heard of it, but freshmen do not. Coltman only intended to keep the name of the jade in his eyes.

Of course, it wouldn’t have meant much if Ainim von Rongrut was written on it.

A completely different, familiar name was there.

–

[1st year chief]

Lockstrin Aindarok

Handwriting: 40/40

Practical: 39/40

Overall score of 79 (1st place in history)

–

“Bilgen.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

“Do you see the same thing in your eyes?”

“That’s right.”

There is no foolishness to doubt even what one sees, I thought so, but it seems that it was not.

Lockstrin Aindarlock.

1st all time.

The strange feeling made me doubt my eyes.

I knew that he had been hiding that extraordinary head because of Yuxilla’s work, but he clearly had no talent for magic.

His innate magical power was poor, and he didn’t even have anything that could be called special talent.

I taught all four attributes, but I couldn’t specialize in any one. He showed no will to learn magic.

[The representative inauguration ceremony will be held shortly. Students, go to the auditorium by 14:00. … .]

More at noblemtl com

Just in time, the broadcast came on.

Representative inauguration ceremony.

It’s not an official event, but it’s been a tradition since sometime.

This was because a lot of students came out in the middle of lunchtime.

Coltman moved towards the auditorium, which remained unmistakably in his distant memory.

* * *

“You’re nervous in a place like this, you.”

“I have to. It’s normal.”

Behind the stage in the auditorium.

While Baeller sat lazily cross-legged, I eagerly memorized a scribbled script on a piece of paper the size of the palm of my hand.

‘This is the route, but… … .’

things got bigger

Even the main character can become a student representative if he neglects everything else and just studies.

It’s not a very good route because there’s a high probability of a bad ending due to stress or poor health, but it’s another good route if you solve it.

The advantages are several.

A child who fell in second place disintegrates and burns his enthusiasm, leads events and makes it easier to build friendships with major characters, or gains the authority to control students.

However, there are definite downsides.

‘A good route to go to hell in one shot.’

People always have to be careful with their mouths. Especially the higher up you are.

Falling to the bottom after saying one wrong thing is common everywhere. The same goes for ＜Academy Summer Turge＞.

“Rather than that, why is the order like this?”

“Okay. I go first.”

Baeller left a meaningful smile, and first pulled back the blackout curtain and stepped onto the stage. Applause poured in.

There was nothing I could do other than send a stinging glare at the back of his head.

‘You accepted, son of a bitch.’

Most of the seniors, seniors, have left the academy, so there are no student representatives.

Because of this, there are representatives only for the first, second, and third years, and originally, the third year was the last order for this inauguration ceremony. But the known order was reversed.

It’s not that I don’t understand. The topicality of Lockstrin Aindar Locke in Summer Turge is enough to make your mouth hurt.

The guys in charge of these school events are also smart guys. The highlight is the last one.

“Come on, Rockstrin. You can’t do it if it’s burdensome.”

[STATUS]

Lenny Berry (Sophomore)

Attribute: Fire (4 stars)

Affiliation: Rongrult Empire Berry Command

Status: Viscount

Personality: Gentle

Sophomore student representative Lenny Berry.

Gentle disposition and large, round glasses. In many ways, she is a female student who has the atmosphere of a model student.

He has a good personality, has enough talent, doesn’t lack in effort, and is moderately popular.

However, in most of the routes, he is a character of misfortune that does not attract attention because he is compared to Ai-nim, who became the first-year student representative.

Fortunately, that doesn’t happen. First of all, I’m definitely worse than him.

“Seniors do everything, but you can’t miss it. How did you do last year?”

“Nana? Umm… … .”

After receiving my question, Lenny laughed awkwardly and twisted his hair.

The first-year representative usually becomes the second-year representative the following year. It’s because grades don’t suddenly drop unless there’s something special going on.

Last year, Lenny was the freshman representative.

“I don’t remember very well. I hope everyone works hard and produces good results… … It was something like this. But since I was talking gibberish, it’s okay to make mistakes.”

With a friendly smile, Lenny patted my shoulder. Then, oh, I was startled and withdrew my hand.

“I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“no. it’s okay.”

I laughed bitterly.

Because of this fucking face, I think I’ll do well on my own.

I’m going to die of shame because I can’t go anywhere. I shouldn’t even say a word.

“Lenny.”

“yes.”

Soon after, Baeller returned. I wish time could go so fast. 10 minutes have already passed.

After looking over the script for the last time, I sneakily looked around the auditorium.

“These professors.”

there is nothing to do

The professors who were standing with their hands behind their backs and giggling were in their twenties. They are adults who are caught in the place where students play without notice. Hey, there’s Kanin too… … .

uh.

uh uh

‘Black color?’

Surprised, I hurriedly hid myself.

I didn’t see it wrong. Undoubtedly, there was black hair among them.

I was the only one on campus, and there was no black hair on the continent other than Aindar Loch. That word means one thing.

‘I’ll go visit you as soon as the midterm exam is over.’

Coltman Aindarok has arrived.

It was an inauguration ceremony in name only, and half of it was a joke, so I thought it was just a joke.

I mean, now?

Compared to the past when there was nothing, there is one big achievement of being number one in history, but the burden has increased a hundred times.

I can’t talk nonsense in front of Coltman, who came to pick up the lockscreen… … .

Maybe this is an opportunity

“Rockstrin! go for it!”

Soon the blackout curtain was pulled back and Lenny returned.

The content is heavy to talk about in such a light place, but I didn’t have any intention of setting up an official event anyway.

Things are better than expected.

There must have been some professors as well, and since this inauguration ceremony was recorded in a video recorder and stored for a long time, all conditions were met.

‘You mean by my name?’

‘Isn’t that what Rocks found? It was Rox who gave me the answer whenever I got stuck. Of course it’s Rocks.’

‘that is… … Even so, isn’t this the result of Your Highness’ hard work?’

‘Okay, then let’s do it jointly! Or burn them!’

Maria came to my room secretly last night, and I was closely called to Ai-nim’s room on the 15th floor of the Tower of Truth. It happened often.

What the haggard-looking child held out was a notebook with dense writing. The guy who likes to look at the sunlight so much has been confined to his room for a while, and he’s wearing it.

Although the crooked handwriting seemed ridiculous at first glance.

[Imagination Theory]

It was an outrageous theory that denied the basis of all magic science overnight.

‘Can I do it?’

To be honest, I worried a lot.

It was an uncontrollable variable.

However, it is a variable with a very high probability of being positive. Isn’t that simple? It was a way to make magic more intuitive, faster and stronger.

Moreover, if I was going to rot what Ai-sama created, I didn’t have to be more friendly with Ai-sama in the first place.

“This is Lockstrin Aindarok.”

An amplified voice echoed through the auditorium.

There was a mix of applause and admiration during Baeller, but I didn’t get much applause. Everyone is opening their mouths. It’s kind of scary.

“How lucky I am, I have come to this position undeservedly… … I can’t say that. To be honest, I think it’s a natural result. I studied 18 hours a day.”

I mean don’t feel sorry. I didn’t want to make enemies out of jealousy.

Wow. Then there was some exclamation.

“A lot of people will be curious. I used the 2-star magic “Wind Curtain” in the practical test and got 39 points. I would like to express my sincere consolation to hear that Professor Grail has seen a lot of swearing these days because he deducted one point from his star rating. I have no complaints.”

At the same time, Professor Grail was standing behind him, and as he nodded vigorously, laughter erupted from everywhere.

Rumors spread all over the place. So, that’s what everyone is really curious about.

“How is it 39 points? In case you’re wondering, let me show you the same magic one more time. 「Will Le Lipe」”

The completed “Wind Curtain” unfolded.

Most of the new students are seeing it for the second time, but it was the first time for the graders and other professors above it.

“What is that… … ?”

“Don’t you have a solution?”

“No, what is that at the end? It was like a ‘fighter’?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The student who had just come up with the right words was in a nearby seat, so I pointed to him and said.

“I am the fighter, [Tass]. Generally, it is a grass that does not work on wind attribute magic. Because there is so much resistance. So this spell must have been a sham.”

Actually, it’s not nonsense.

“This simple principle of flowing mana without information of form and solution has been buried in the 300 years of ‘deployment’ and ‘ber’. I do not know. Is this all?”

unfold, project, fall, wave, advance.

Numerous solutions are destroyed on a similar principle. There was no need for that. Could be simpler, could be faster.

“Who would have started like that?”

Everyone knows the answer.

“Leeden, who claims to be the suzerain of magic, has monopolized the ancient language that was the origin of magic. Only a small part of the stele that serves as the original text has been exposed. The interpretation, which is published every year, is published by the Society of Magic, which they belong to. It is said that we held hands after the war, but at one time we were holding knives at each other’s throats.”

It’s been a long time since a peace treaty was signed, but the emotional troughs built up at the time bloom everywhere in the lives of the people of the empire.

It’s to the point where people say that countries they’ve never been to since they were born are called ‘Leiden guys’.

“I have been conducting this research with Her Highness Ainim since the semester started. He took his personal time to look at the parts that I hadn’t seen before with my lack of insight. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Her Highness Ainim for his hard work.”

Ainim von Rongrt.

Now that the name of the imperial family was proudly mentioned in Aindarok, no one could take the weight lightly.

“As of yesterday, the theory was completed. It is going through Yunmun, so it will be distributed soon, but only within Summer Turge.”

widely.

Suddenly, the lights in the auditorium went out, and light shone only in the blackout behind the stage where I was standing.

I haven’t decided when I’ll do it, but Ai-nim seems to have prepared it in advance so that I can do it whenever a seat is available.

It’s safe to say that Rockstrin’s beautiful handwriting is bewitching. That’s why I chose to show rather than speak directly.

“The first page starts like this.”

magic is

Wrong .

“I, along with Your Highness Ainim, dare to declare it here.”

A place where young aristocrats, prospects, bloodlines of other royal families, and students who will lead the future of the empire are all gathered.

Kanin Mage Artine, Coltman Aindarok.

In front of the faculty of Summer Turge who led a page in the history of magic.

I shouted proudly.

“You have to learn all over again.”
