Come to think of it, Lee Gon learned not only swordsmanship but also magic.
We chatted while standing in line, and after receiving our meal, we found a suitable place to sit…
‘uh.’
Suddenly, the image of the heir eating with his friend came into view.
But there were two empty seats.
I pondered for a moment and then asked Rigon.
“Legon, would you like to sit over there?”
“Huh? Does anyone know?”
“They’re in the same class as me, but I thought it would be nice to get to know them.”
Even so, it was more of a problem for Lygon than for me to make a connection with the heir, but it was a good opportunity.
Lygon nodded without hesitation.
“···········?”
As the two approached the seat where they were sitting, the heir’s friend first threw a puzzled glance at him.
The heir, who was preoccupied with chopping the meat, looked at us immediately.
I smiled as brightly as I could and spoke.
“Hello. Do you remember who I am?”
The successor’s friend was recognizable.
“Are you sitting in the back seat in class earlier?”
“That’s right. Can I join you? I happened to come across it while looking for a seat.”
She blinked and turned to the Heir.
The Heir swallowed the food he had been holding in his mouth, and said:
“You want to sit with me? It doesn’t matter.”
The reaction is as expected.
So successfully we sat down and ate together.
“My name is Lan. And this is Rigon. It’s not the Magic School, it’s the Swordsmanship School, but she’s my roommate.”
“Ugh, nice to meet you. I’m Escar Mariols. We’re both roommates, so we quickly got to know each other.”
The heir’s friend, Escar, answered with a grin.
“I’m Ka-Ann. But don’t you guys have a surname in your first name too?”
The Heir intervened and asked us why.
I nodded.
“Yeah, we’re both commoners.”
“People, does that mean you’re not aristocrats?”
I wondered why he was like this.
“Strangely, every kid I talk to, if I tell them my name, they always ask me what my last name is, and if I don’t have a last name, they just ignore me for some reason. Except for Esca.”
“············”.
“Maybe you too? Do you know why?”
I scratched my cheek at the innocent question.
Escar had a bewildered expression on her face, perhaps she didn’t know about it.
The successor still lacks common sense. Of course, understanding of the hierarchy would be insufficient.
Rigon, who had just made the soup, said with a hint of why he didn’t know why.
“It’s because there are a lot of nobles who usually ignore commoners.”
“Yeah? Why?”
“Is it because your status is low?”
The heir had a face that he did not understand.
“I’m ignoring you because of your low status? Why?”
“Why?…… Just like nobles. They ignore them because they have nothing more than themselves. Did you say Escar? There are few nobles like your friend who don’t ignore commoners. Isn’t that the original nature of ?”
I thought it was a bit of a surprise to see Lee Gon speaking cynical stories casually.
After all, he didn’t just live in the mountains like the heir, he must have experienced a lot with Reef.
The Heir still didn’t seem to understand, but he nodded as if he understood roughly.
She suddenly stared at Escar and said.
“Escar, were you a really nice guy? Even though you’re a noble, you hang out with me.”
“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Ahaha….”
Asuka smiled a little embarrassed.
“I’m going to ignore other people for how great I am. I’m only a noble in my name.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“It’s just saying that there’s nothing different from you guys. Our family is a small family on the outskirts. We’re not the great aristocrats you think you are.”
You’re a little aristocrat.
Of course, just because aristocrats were not only wealthy aristocrats.
“Um, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, Escar, you’re a good guy.”
“Yes, yes.”
As if he was already familiar with the heir, Escar seemed to be able to pass on the rude remarks.
“Oh, but can I tell you about my origins? I feel like I’m cheating if I don’t.”
But then, Rigon spoke out of nowhere.
“I’m not from Seintea, I’m from Calderic. I was recommended by the 7th Lord in Calderic and enrolled in Elphon.”
It was a story I had already brought up, but I suddenly wondered why I was telling it.
The successor didn’t respond at all.
So what? He looked at Rigon with a face like that, and suddenly his eyes widened.
“Huh? If it’s the 7th lord… Ah.”
The Heir, who was about to say something as if he had thought of something, shut his mouth with a hint of apprehension.
I was a little relieved to see it.
I must have been told by the hero to keep it a secret about what I had met before. He paused without saying anything useless.
“Kah, Calderick?”
At Rigon’s words, Escar looked very surprised.
In response to the fierce reaction, the Heir looked at her curiously, and Rygon sighed and said.
“I guess the kids here don’t really like people from Calderik. I accidentally talked about it in class, but they all avoided me.”
“Yeah? Why?”
Oh, was it like that?
Understanding the situation, I joined the story.
“It’s because the people of Seintea don’t have a very good perception of Calderik. But apart from that, Lee Gon is a good guy, so please don’t misunderstand him.”
“You don’t misunderstand me? I don’t even know why the perception is bad in the first place. I’m from Calderic, so don’t worry because I have no intention of avoiding it.”
Rigon looked at her as if a little startled at the reaction of the heir who was completely unconcerned, and then smiled softly.
“Is that right, Eska?”
“Huh? Uh… I’m sorry. I was just a little surprised.”
Escar looked at Rigon’s eyes and seemed to calm his shocked heart.
That would have been a normal reaction.
“By the way, Ligon, what’s the deal with the 7th lord? The lord of Calderic is said to be a great person, so aren’t you a member of a great family too?”
“It’s not like that, it’s just that he accidentally saved his life…”
Maybe the heir had met me before, so I was curious about something about Rigon’s story.
Seeing two people talking about me in front of me, I felt a little strange.
‘······ Anyway, is there a common denominator?’
Whatever it was, it seemed like the two of them would become friends in the future, so we decided to think good things about it.
Lessons and adaptation (2)
The second class the next day was a face-to-face combat class.
As I heard yesterday, the professor in charge of the class was my homeroom professor, Professor Loquel.
The students moved to a place like a large training ground rather than a classroom and surrounded them in a circle.
“An interpersonal combat class, as the name suggests, is a class that trains you to fight against people.”
The professor stood in the middle and explained the class.
“You will learn from the magic warfare against the same wizard first. What do you think is the most important thing in magic warfare?”
Without a doubt, the question was asked like yesterday’s class.
However, this time, Professor Loquel continued to speak as if it was not a question to be answered.
“Actually, nothing is most important. The amount of magical power that is superior to the opponent, the superior magic development speed, the variety and effectiveness of the combinations of magic learned, the insight to read and destroy the opponent’s magic, the use of the environment, and psychological warfare are all important. Overwhelming. Unless there is a difference in popularity, a mass of variables that cannot determine absolute superiority based on a few factors is magic warfare.”
He picked up two students out of nowhere and pointed.
“As I said, this class isn’t just a talk class. What’s the name of the two of you there?”
The students who were nominated answered.
“This is Sebas Madir.”
“This is Hant Asen.”
“Sebas Madir, Hant Asen. Come out in the middle and stand face to face.”
They came out bewildered and stood in the middle of the training ground.
I looked at the scene and thought.
Instead of having the professor face each other and teach, do you have students fight each other from the first class?
“There are no rules or restrictions. It’s a competition, but I think it’s a real battle, and let’s do our best to compete with each other from now on.”
Professor Loquel finally said that, separated from the two of them, and stood with arms crossed.
Suddenly, they were told to fight, and they just looked at the professor in embarrassment.
“The victory criterion is until the match is stopped at my discretion. Both the content and results of the match are included in the score.”
It was only then that the two students seemed serious when they heard that they were included in their grades.
“Counting to three is a start. One, two….”
As the battle began, Sebas fired a fireball first.
The opponent also deployed defensive magic almost at the same time, and the fireball that collided with the shield exploded and spread flames.
Some students seemed nervous because they weren’t used to the battle that started like a real battle.
Quang! bang!
A roar sounded in succession, and the magical powers collided.
The aspect of the battle flowed in a way that for a while Sebas continued to use his attack magic and push him back.
However, at some point, the flow was suddenly taken away by Handt and started to be pushed in the opposite direction.
Sebas was unable to completely block the opponent’s shockwave magic and stumbled. Then the professor came out.
“Stop. The match is over.”
Hand exhaled with a relaxed look, and Sebas frowned slightly with a look of resentment.
Professor Loquel looked at the two in turn.
“Sebas Madir, Dalian is your defeat. What do you think is the reason for your defeat?”
He rolled his eyes and answered softly.
“My mana and output were a little less than my opponent.”
“Is that all?”
“I think that’s all. At least if they were equal, I would have won first.”
“Then you’re voluntarily leading the battle into a firefight without knowing that your opponent’s total amount of magical power is superior to yours. You’re only pouring attacks against the shield.”
“············”.
“Of course, conversely, if your total magical power was superior, you would have a higher chance of taking the initiative and winning, but the result was that you exhausted all your magic first.
It was then that Sebas realized his mistake, and Sebas looked like he was going to miss it.
“I’ll ask you again. What do you think was the reason for your defeat?”
“The total amount of magical power was also insufficient, but from the start, the opponent’s skills were not taken into consideration.”
“Then, how will you lead the battle in the future if you don’t know exactly what your opponent’s capabilities are?”
“I think it’s going to be a top priority to search for opponents while conserving energy consumption as much as possible.”
Professor Loquel grinned.
“Yeah, exploration. It’s the basics of the basics. You’ll think to yourself why you forgot this obvious while talking. I learned orally and written, but remembering and applying even such an easy thing in practice is such a big difference.”
He shifted his gaze to Hant.
“Hant, you won in Dalian, but do you think you have something to point out to yourself?”
“I think I was vigilant at first and gave the other person the initiative too easily.”
“Yeah. Otherwise, it would have been easier to win. Except for the total amount of magic power, the level was similar.”
Professor Loquel nodded.
“Of course, there are a lot of other shortcomings, but it’s the first day, so I’m done with this. For now, the elements I just mentioned were the main focus. I hope I’ve learned enough.
It was short and clear feedback. It’s a class like this.
The two of them returned to their original positions.
Professor Loquel immediately looked at the students as if looking for the next fighter, then stopped looking. right from me
And the next person that caught my eye was none other than Leah.
“The two of you, what are their names?”
…is it him again?
From yesterday’s theory class, I thought it was a good coincidence.
“It’s Lan.”
Leah also glanced at me and answered.
“This is Leah Heriwin.”
“Come out in the middle. From now on, all the students will compete in this way once in a while.”
Leah and I came out of the middle of the training ground and stood facing each other.
I felt that some students looked at me with pity, but it must have been the other person.
Of course, there was no way I could win Dalian with magic alone.
Her level is 36, while my magic skills were probably less than 20 in level numbers.
‘Isn’t it over in a few seconds?’
I said there are no restrictions, but it’s still a magic warfare class, so it’s probably the same thing with strengthening your body. It doesn’t even have a sword.
As the match started, I immediately prepared to use my defensive magic in case of an attack.
But for some reason, Leah didn’t attack and just stood still and looked at this side.
It was as if he would give him a chance, so he would attack as much as he could.
‘Well, then.’
