111 – Preparing for Vacation (3)
It was not uncommon for Ruid to use magic on monsters.
However, he never took the initiative to write.
-Can you use one spell on the 3rd line of defense? It’s breathtaking these days.
-It’s annoying.
Always a request from someone.
That was only possible after Victoriana and Irene had bothered several times.
However, this time, he used magic on his own will without anyone’s request.
Irene was happy about that.
‘It has changed.’
A lovely youngest brother.
It’s okay to just stay still without doing anything, but-
If Ruid changed, it would be a great welcome.
Also, she goes in the direction she secretly desires.
Walking through the long corridors of the imperial palace, Irene recalled Ruid’s magic from the first line of defense.
The light that descended from the sky.
That light took away everything, as if not allowing any life to breathe.
It took Irene back to her past.
When she was young, her butterfly was split in two due to a sword attack she inadvertently wielded during training.
Little Irene squatted and looked at the cross section of the butterfly.
The cross section of the butterfly was perfectly neat.
She had never seen her cut so neatly. She
Thought she was beautiful.
Irene wanted to reproduce her beauty.
But it wasn’t easy for her.
She eventually turned to Victoria for her advice.
Said Victoria.
-The butterfly was not aware of her own death. She can be beautiful because she is. She’s a dead butterfly, she’ll still think she’s alive.
Irene had an epiphany.
After that, Irene started to lightly cut everything around her.
After that, the cross section of ‘everything’ that Irene cut was clear.
After that, when Irene went to something, she didn’t wield it more than once.
Because I didn’t need it.
‘Is Louie starting to resemble me?’
Ruid’s magic was light.
While killing hundreds of monsters, he didn’t even hesitate.
In the past, she was like her own self when she cut a butterfly.
It was overly beautiful.
‘How much more beautiful would that light magic be if it were directed elsewhere?’
Irene’s smile deepened.
She stepped on the garden of the imperial palace.
The fallen flowers were trampled on by her feet.
She approaches as if possessed, and stops her steps.
The emperor’s face, as if he had seen a ghost, shimmered in her eyes.
“Your Majesty. Long time no see.”
“Ah, Irene Windsor. How are you?”
The emperor was greatly embarrassed and pulled his body back.
Irene put her left hand on her scabbard and moved her body.
Fear and fear pass from Lucius’ eyes in a very short time.
But Irene slowly lowered her body to pay her respects.
“I came back to Jedo at the request of my younger brother.”
“…… You mean Ruid?”
The emperor’s composure, which had been enjoying a leisurely tea time for the first time in a while, was shattered.
I definitely felt like the peace of the quiet empire was being broken.
Irene came into her own garden without hesitation. She had no message whatsoever.
Rude.
However, the rudeness of the person in front of you is not rudeness.
That is the power of the Duke of Windsor.
That is the strength of Irene Windsor.
“There is only one reason why I came to Your Majesty right away instead of spending intimate time with her brother.”
Irene said quietly.
“My sister is going to do something for the first time in a while, so please don’t interrupt me.”
“… !”
It wasn’t something to talk about in front of the emperor.
Lucius’ expression clearly hardened.
“Then, His Majesty is concerned.”
Irene raised her head and said with a strange smile.
“It won’t happen.”
**
“Uh, sister? Vice-captain too.”
Amelia in her pajamas almost passed out.
Louise came in late, so she came out with the mindset that this time she’d have to nag her verbally.
Aren’t there Irene and Charlotte?
“Wow, Ame! Long time no see!”
Charlotte stroked Amelia wildly with a smile on her face.
When Amelia saw Charlotte, she became bright, then when she saw Irene, she became pale, then repeated.
“I feel sorry for you to discriminate so openly, Lia.”
“Sorry… No, sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
Irene smiled brightly.
But she said no more.
Ruid knew why.
Charlotte has a similar position to herself in the Duke of Windsor.
A being loved by everyone.
Some say that the reason Irene always smiles is because she imitates Charlotte.
His skills were also very good, to the extent that there was no one in the Duke of Windsor holding a sword who had not learned from Charlotte.
Amelia also learned a lot from Charlotte.
Ruid was pleased.
‘I’m glad I brought Charlotte too.’
How can I say it, the combination of Irene and Charlotte is sweet and salty.
… I wonder if they brought too many main figures of the Duke of Windsor.
‘It’s okay for Mama to do a cute act later.’
Let’s believe in the highest dignity Victoria.
Irene said with her hands behind her back.
“Amelia. Are you doing well in training?”
“… Yes.”
“Apart from that, I heard that Ruid’s power was also used to catch the black magician who invaded the other day.”
Irene was laughing, but this was an obvious scolding.
Amelia’s expression darkened.
‘Again, again like that.’
Ruid hugged Irene’s arm.
“Ame noona is working hard.”
“Really?”
“At the time of the last monster incident, Amelia noona just finished catching everything. How hard she trains.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t say anything. Understand?”
Amelia looked at Ruid with a face about to cry.
The way her brother steps up for herself.
She was embarrassed, but more than that, she was moved.
‘After. With this, I paid off my pocket money debt the other day.’
Louise raised her eyebrows.
Isn’t her original family living together helping each other?
From noble mtl dot com
Louise was a little excited, so she added something unnecessary.
“That’s why your sister isn’t popular. She still hasn’t gotten married, but there’s a reason.”
“Help.”
Charlotte covered both his mouths.
The blood drained from Amelia’s face.
Irene, who always has a small smile, suddenly stopped smiling.
‘Oops. Am I being too cocky?’
Ruid read a certain intention in Irene’s stinging gaze.
You’re out before you get scolded.
Then I’ll forgive you for being arrogant.
That’s what it meant.
I said, slightly avoiding her gaze.
“I, I will play with the fox.”
“Kang!”
Ruid followed the fox as it ran away without looking back.
Amelia reached out her hand to Louis, who fled with her dim eyes.
‘What if I make the atmosphere like this!’
Amelia’s voiceless clamor rang out.
“… ….”
Unbearable silence fell in the hall.
Charlotte tried to sneak away, but stopped at Irene’s voice.
“Did you hear the story from Ruid?”
Suddenly, Amelia regained her senses and answered.
“Yes, yes. She said she would bring her sister in as a special instructor. That’s what she never imagined would be today.”
“I heard that Lia is in charge of the swordsmanship department at the academy.”
“… That’s right.”
‘Are you saying that you don’t deserve it?’
“It’s still too early for Leah to teach her who. If done wrong, Windsor’s swordsmanship might leak out.”
Amelia took her Irene’s words for her own lack of skill.
But that wasn’t Irene’s intention.
Actually, Irene has no major complaints about her Amelia’s skills.
It’s just that the battle with people is a little lacking.
Against monsters, Amelia had more strengths than weaknesses.
The problem with her was that her strength when dealing with monsters turned into a weakness when dealing with people.
“So rather than teaching-“
Irene took one look at Charles, and she said to Amelia.
“For the time being, learn swordsmanship from Charles.”
“… Yes?”
Amelia opened her eyes wide.
She was sure she would reprimand her for not taking good care of Louis.
“Charles, are you okay?”
“Ughhh. It’s a hundred times better than catching nasty monsters. Trust me, Captain.”
Charlotte smiled sinisterly at the thought of rolling Amelia for the first time in a while.
“Will your training focus on humans, not monsters?”
“Human?”
Charlotte scratched his head.
In the North, the important thing is to catch monsters, not people.
So, of course, I was thinking of teaching subjugation.
“It’s easier, but… Will Leah have anything to write about? Graduation is coming soon, and when I come back, I’ll only fight against monsters.”
“Okay.”
Irene looked at Amelia, who lowered her head.
‘I have poison.’
Little brother and little brother.
I was happy that everyone seemed to be growing in the right direction.
“Someday, the time will come when I will be able to put it to good use.”
**
‘It’s annoying, but let’s do our best. It’s unfair that only people in my family are suffering.’
I forgot for a second, but Ruid was a professor.
If you are a professor, you have the authority to create a subject you want and gather students to teach.
So, without much discussion, Ruid was able to carry out the plan with his own authority.
Ruid stood at the church.
‘After a while, it will be vacation. If we send everyone to the defensive line from the beginning, there will be a lot of backlash.’
So, Ruid picked out a list of the best people and handed it over to Ella.
It was mainly for people with loud voices or excellent skills.
Of course, the ‘Expert’, the best in the Imperial Academy, is included.
Also, ‘Justin’, ‘Catherine’, and ‘Hannah’, who would be second in voice volume, were included.
Up until now, these three have been annoying at times and inexhaustible.
It could be said that they were the most elite in order to inform people of the terrifying nature of the monsters in the north as much as possible and to raise awareness.
“I will make an important announcement today. That’s why I chose the people myself, rather than accepting registration for classes.”
Exactly 32 students looked at him.
I usually use honorifics when there are a lot of people like this, but today I deliberately used short words.
It was to clearly recognize who was above and who was below.
Then, someone raised their hand.
“Yes. Feel free to ask questions.”
It was Isabella, the librarian.
“It’s vacation soon, so may I ask what the meaning of opening a new course is?”
It was a polite question, and a natural one.
In fact, it was written on the faces of the commoners that they were very dissatisfied.
“Take care. Taking that into consideration, I will give all grades full. Without any other tests. The store will also give you 10 points.”
Isabella sat down with a very satisfied face.
There is no choice but to do so. It’s because the grade point average goes up for free.
“Instead, return the vacation.”
“Yes?”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard in the classroom.
“What, what do you mean by that?”
Someone asked in bewilderment.
Ruid smiled and said.
“It is a seasonal semester.”
“Gye, season semester?”
“Seasonal Session gives you a great opportunity to learn magic even during vacation.”
The students’ buzz grew 15 times louder.
Ruid understood 100%.
Because I had bad grades in my previous life, I had the experience of taking seasonal semesters.
That’s… It was hell.
“Of course, it is not compulsory.”
Only then did the students’ murmur subside.
“If you don’t like it, you can get up and leave. There will be no disadvantages.”
Several students got up from their seats as soon as Ruid finished speaking.
Louise blinked her eyes.
‘It’s surprising. There are more kids left.’
Are wizards passionate about learning?
Ruid felt that way.
Of course, it was mostly because she wanted to make connections with a young genius wizard, or to listen to a lecture from a wizard who had been given an alias by the emperor himself.
‘But-‘
I’m sorry, but Ruid has already made a perfect roster.
It was difficult to fall in.
Kung!
“… !”
All the students who got up from their seats knelt on the floor.
An irresistible force of gravity is weighing down the students.
The students nearby looked at Ruid in bewilderment.
There, Louis de, with an innocent expression, was seen holding her staff.
“Ah, I’m glad.”
Louise raised the corner of her mouth.
“Everyone seems to want to take a class.”
‘It’s a bit extreme, but I can’t help it.’
Ruid thought this was the most efficient way to quickly convince people.
“Then, I will explain the direction of my lecture from now on.”
But, Ruid didn’t notice at all.
The change in myself that gradually resembles Irene.
