103 – Party
Allen was well aware of Tigris’ warning, and while eating, he did not bring up any stories related to Trinity or Linia.
It wasn’t just a quiet meal though.
I don’t know if it’s a face covering or if he wants to relieve Tigris’ wrath, but he gave a lot of advice on ‘Understanding Magic for Knights’.
It is as if a one-on-one tutoring was provided, such as adding some auxiliary magic that will help Tigris’ original doctrine, or recommending a reference book that says that even the same type of magic changes depending on the situation. informed
“Come to think of it, if you have one instructor in the Faculty of Magic as an assistant instructor, then wizards can take classes as well.”
“Is that okay?”
Originally, I wanted to invite students from the School of Magic from the T-Christ Empire University and teach them together.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t even think about it because it seemed like an overpass.
So, he was going to borrow artifacts from the Imperial University to teach magic.
But if Allen grants permission, it’s a different story.
It will be possible to conduct a more realistic education as it will be possible to conduct team-based education consisting of wizards and knights.
“Of course, the key is whether there is a wizard to support as an assistant instructor. The Faculty of Magic instructors are engrossed in personal research, so they don’t want to give lectures whenever possible, so they just get the required credits and don’t want to go further.”
“Still, if we can find an instructor, can the students of the Faculty of Magic conduct the class together?”
Allen said, wiping his mouth with a towel.
“I seriously intend to. If that were the case, it would be difficult to balance the syllabus apart from refreshing the syllabus, would that be ok?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Allen nodded.
“You want to do it, but I have no reason to stop you. Instead, show me the syllabus again when I fix it. You will have to check again.”
“Yes. All right.”
* * *
After dinner with Allen, Tigris and Trisha headed to the Imperial University.
“By the way, does Tigris have a personal magic faculty instructor?”
At Trisha’s question, Tigris shook her head.
“no. none.”
“Then how are you going to find an instructor?”
“You have to go find them one by one.”
“Are you Tigris-sama yourself?”
“okay.”
Trisha thought about the situation in which Tigris broke into the magic school instructor’s private laboratory.
Tigris is not just a swordsmanship instructor.
He is known as the hero of the zodiac and the bridegroom of the princess.
If Trisha was a wizard, what would she think of Tigris’ sudden visit?
“It would be nice if those wizards didn’t have to pee.”
There are only two people in the Empire who can kick the iron bowl of Imperial University instructors.
His Majesty the Emperor and the principal of Bastian School.
If Tigris, who is as close as family to the two of them, says, ‘Hey, let’s go to class together’, who would say no?
‘·······It will be easier to find than you think, but I think there will be several problems.’
Could it be that the rumors of threatening the Faculty of Magic instructors are spreading or something like that?
‘Well, you’ll figure it out.’
Trisha just decided to give up the thought.
Since it was a busy day, Tigris was going to stop by the office to get a list of instructors, and then head straight to the research wing where the faculty of magic were crowded.
But when he entered the office, an unexpected person was waiting for Tigris.
It was Bastian.
“What are you up to here?”
“I came here because I was curious because Nation praised your lecture. And I wondered if Dean Allen would pass your lectures.”
“I got the autograph. However, there was a way to further develop the lecture, so I was thinking about it.”
Bastian said as he sat down on a chair in the office.
“You want to develop a course?”
“Dean Allen said that if you have an instructor as an assistant instructor in the Faculty of Magic, wizards will also be allowed to attend lectures. I was thinking about how to do it because I thought it would be a more colorful and realistic lecture.”
“Apart from rewriting the course, finding an instructor for the Faculty of Magic won’t be easy. Even in two days.”
The time allowed for Tigris is until this Friday.
If I couldn’t find an instructor by then, no matter how well I wrote the syllabus, it was meaningless.
It was also a matter of getting autographs.
The syllabus must be signed by the Nation Dean, Allen Dean, and Bastian for the syllabus to become effective.
“If you have an assistant instructor, how long can you prepare the syllabus?”
“It doesn’t take long to change the theory lecture-centered education into a participatory one, and all we have to do is set the conditions for the participation of students in the Faculty of Magic.”
“Hmm… Then, do you have any instructors in mind?”
“no. There is not. So, I was going to go and ask them one by one.”
At Tigris’ words, Bastian looked at him like he had been trisha before.
“If you go directly to the faculty of magic, don’t you think the instructors will be very burdened? From the point of view of those instructors, they may feel burdened as if I came to the office without notice.”
“·················ogue.”
When Tigris looked at Bastian without saying a word, Bastian was stabbed and opened his mouth.
“greatness! Of course, it would be different if we were friends like you, but why are you looking at me like that?”
“I think so.”
Finding an assistant instructor and revising the syllabus filled my mind and I didn’t think about it.
“Then what would be the best way to do it?”
“It would be best to post a recruitment notice. But, like all mages, I’m not going to read the announcement because I’m engrossed in personal research. The vacation season is like gold for the Faculty of Magic instructors. But I think it would be unreasonable to find an assistant instructor in two days.”
Bastian thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Instructor, let me save you. Prepare your syllabus well and bring it in by tomorrow noon, without going through the Nation Dean and Allen Dean. Can you do that?”
“It is possible, but I think it will be a nuisance to the principal.”
“I came to you because I was worried about something else. But thanks to you, I think it can be easily resolved.”
“What were your concerns?”
Bastian laughed like a bad boy.
“I’ll leave that for tomorrow’s pleasure. Assuming that there is an instructor who can teach all secondary magic, write up a syllabus and bring it to me.”
“······All right.”
There was an aura of uneasy feeling, but Tigris decided to pass it on when he said that he would save the wizard.
* * *
next day.
Tigris brought a new syllabus with Bastian as promised.
And Bastian rescued the wizard and introduced him to Tigris.
The opponent warmly reached out to Tigris.
“Nice to meet you. Sir Tigris.”
it was nadal
Tigris was a little embarrassed by the unexpected meeting.
“…was Nadal supposed to be an assistant instructor?”
Bastian said with a smirk.
“The Emperor has ordered that Inquisitor agents be deployed within the Imperial University.”
For Rota and Arpem, the Imperial University was now the second most important facility after the Imperial Palace.
It is a place to teach the geniuses who will lead the future of the empire, and serves as a trophy for the alliance between dwarves and beasts.
Therefore, it was quite natural to strengthen security.
“I expected the Inquisitors to infiltrate the Imperial University, but wouldn’t it be a problem if the Inquisitor’s Hydra entered directly? You must be so busy that even two bodies are not enough.”
Nadal shook his head.
“Recently, the Inquisitor’s chronic manpower shortage has been resolved, so it has become rather spacious. Thanks to Sir Tigris’ directory, we have more capable Inquisitor agents, and there are many more things we can do while working with River.”
“However, if Nadal suddenly came in as an instructor at the Imperial University during this time, wouldn’t the words come out from within the Imperial University as well?”
“it’s okay. One of the instructors in the Department of Alchemy in the Faculty of Magic is going to be very ill. I will take the place of the instructor.”
“·················ogue.”
When Tigris looked at Nadal with subtle eyes, Nadal waved his hand as if not to misunderstand.
“Anyway, the instructor was the target. He was a guy who made and sold a drug called red powder to the gangs in Gray Town.”
When it comes to red powder, he knew tea.
A terrible drug that makes the citizens of Gray Town sick and unhappy.
The person who manufactured and sold the drug is the instructor of the Imperial University.
I couldn’t believe it.
“We didn’t even know where the red powder was coming from. In fact, it’s a gray town job, so it would be fair to say that I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
The Inquisitor has had a lot of work to do lately.
Naturally, the problem of red powder in Gray Town was forced to retreat to the background, and no investigation was carried out.
“However, while having a light ‘conversation’ with priests who were recently imprisoned, I happened to learn about the production and distribution process of red powder.”
The production and distribution process of red powder is as follows.
Instructor Bonica of Imperial University creates red powder.
Then, he enters the Lux Church temple, where he worships every week, and gives him red powder.
The red powder is handed over to the gang in Gray Town during the Lux Church’s weekly volunteer work every Saturday.
And the gang transfers a portion of the proceeds from the sale of red powder to the Lux Church as an offering.
“Until now, no one had ever doubted the Lux Church, so I had no idea about the production and distribution process of red powder. Now that we have cut off our production and distribution chains, there will be no red powder in Gray Town.”
“Why does Instructor Bonica say he sold Red Powder?”
“To be precise, I didn’t sell it. Instructor Bonica’s son is very ill, and it is said that he produced and passed on red powder for 5 years in exchange for the holy water provided by the Lux Bridge.”
The holy water of the Holy Grail possessed by the Lux Church has the effect of healing all diseases and trauma.
With the power of the holy water, he was carrying around the main figures of the empire, including the kingdom of Gillion, and it seemed that he had reached out to the instructor of the imperial university.
“Why did the Lux Church target Gray Town? If it was to make money, wouldn’t it have been better to sell it through a different route than Gray Town?”
“It is currently under investigation. Rakan is struggling.”
‘Looks like Rakan has a quest.’
When did Rakan grow up to be able to walk around Gray Town alone?
If you turn your attention somewhere else for a while, you’ve grown rapidly.
“Anyway, this Friday I will be appointed as a new instructor. Then I can legally become Instructor Tigris’ assistant instructor.”
“By the way, I have to teach the alchemy lectures that Instructor Bonika taught me too, would you mind?”
“Alchemy is my main specialty. You can teach easily even with your eyes closed, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Teaching and being good at something are a little different, but since I have experience teaching Rakan, I thought I would do well.
Bastian probably didn’t even think about hiring Nadal as an instructor.
“Then please.”
“I wish you well. Sir Tigris.”
* * *
Time passed quickly and the day of the party was approaching.
There was a separate dress code, but Tigris wore the instructor’s uniform.
This was to emphasize that Tigris did not come as a representative of the Norberd family, but as an instructor at the Imperial University.
“Nice to meet you. Sir Tigris. My name is Nikolai di Jamon, the head of the Viscount Jamon.”
“Nice to meet you. Viscount Hamon.”
“It is truly an honor to see this face-to-face. I saw you briefly at the princess’s birthday party, but I didn’t have time to greet you like this.”
“Oh, I see.”
“By the way, my son is studying at the Imperial University, and he wants to listen to Sir Tigris’ lectures…”
Tigris looked at Bastian with a look of resentment.
It was clear that he only had to play the role of a mother-in-law, but Tigris was surrounded by countless nobles and had to shake hands and listen to their stories.
If it was a normal Tigris, he would just walk away like a loach saying he was tired, but since it was related to Trinity, he couldn’t ignore them and move on.
Money, manpower and resources are all scarce.
“We, the Cheringen family, have decided to donate 1,000 gold coins. Sir Tigris.”
“Only 1,000? We, the Winkel family, sponsor 5,000 gold coins. In addition, I think we can support the 2nd circle wizard.”
“Kuhm! The Vinkel family’s pockets aren’t very good because of the recent supply problem with the Kingdom of Gillion, right?”
“Thank you very much for worrying about the situation of other people’s pockets. Of course, I don’t know if it’s only about the pockets of the Cheringen family.”
“I want to see this kid!”
Tigris’ expression began to rot more and more.
I just wanted this party to be over.
“Wait.”
Then, the savior of Tigris appeared.
She was Princess Rain Rover.
The nobles surrounding Tigris all paid their respects.
“I see the great golden clan.”
“Nice to meet you. Are you enjoying the party?”
“Yes. That’s right. I’ve been to many parties, but I don’t think I’ve ever had such a fun party. Isn’t it? Viscount cheringen.”
“Not like that.”
When the princess appeared, Viscount Cheringen and Viscount Winkel, who raised their voices like auctioneers and raised the amount of donations among themselves, became one gentle sheep.
“That’s fortunate. Then I will borrow that Sir Tigris.”
Rain Rover took Tigris to the terrace.
Tigris took a sip of the champagne from the Rain Rover and sighed.
Rain Rover laughed at Tigris’ tired expression.
“Is it true that Lord Tigris didn’t blink an eye even against evil spirits? Do you look very tired today?”
“I think it would be more convenient to deal with 100,000 Chimeras.”
This was sincere.
It was not easy to listen to the complaints of the nobles who had no interest in them and to respond to them.
Now, no matter what happens in the future, I will not participate in this kind of party.
“If you come to a party like this in the future, please use the terrace often. If you go out on the terrace alone or with two people, no one will talk to you.”
“It’s kind of like an unwritten rule.”
“It’s like that.”
In this way, one fills in knowledge that was not known before the return.
Of course I won’t be attending the party in the future, but I’d rather keep it in my memory.
“By the way, how is the performance of this sponsorship party?”
“We were able to raise more donations than we initially expected. Building wizards are still a problem, though. It’s not easy to find a 3rd circle wizard, nor a 1st or 2nd circle wizard.”
“You must also need the help of Count Albre.”
“······Yes. But you don’t need to rush. If it doesn’t work out, some training grounds and workshops can be built slowly.”
Tigris shook his head.
“As there is a saying that the horns should also be removed from the short season, once you start, it is correct to do it until the end. Did Count Albres attend the party?”
“Yes. However, they only unite with their own factions, and do not even talk to members of the imperial family. They know they are essential to this Trinity launch.”
In other words, it was raising its own stock price.
Rather, the imperial family was going to rip off more of what they wanted by making them anxious.
As Allen said, Salvador was more of a merchant than an ordinary wizard.
“How do you judge Princess Rain Rover? Do you think it is right for me to go out on my own?”
“no. I can’t be dragged around by them. Don’t make eye contact with Count Albres until the party is over. After all, they have no choice but to approach Lord Tigris.”
It is true that now the imperial family is in a state of disappointment for Count Albres.
However, if Count Albre is truly a merchant-like character, he has no choice but to support a professional wizard in architecture.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to step forward with the technology that will be developed within Trinity.
Rain Rover’s prediction came true.
Near the end of the party, Count Albré came to Tigris alone.
“My name is Salvador von Albre.”
