Leo moved right in with Ailee.
“By the way, Ailee.”
“Yes, Professor.”
“… You don’t have to call me that in a private setting like this.”
“oh. That’s right~ Do I dare to do that~?”
“… … .”
Ailee grinned.
‘Does it have a cute taste?’
According to her experience, those who achieved outstanding achievements at a young age were unlucky.
Look at these academy people right now.
When others praise you for your skills, you become arrogant and hold the tip of your chin upright.
What if even the status is royalty? It must be the crystallization of arrogance.
However, Leo and Olivia were different.
Being more noble than anyone else, he was more easy-going than I thought.
At first, I thought it was Olivia’s only characteristic, but looking at Prince Leo, it seems that’s not the case again.
‘Is there a special discipline law in the Kingdom of Rome? How do they grow up right like that?’
It was very questionable.
Ailee smiled and opened her mouth.
“I’ll call you Professor. If not, it should be called low, but I don’t think it fits very well in the academy where equality is the rule.”
“That’s right. Do that, then.”
Leo nodded.
He asked as they walked along.
“Can we hear a little more about the academy’s secret you told us about?”
“I guess the professor is interested in that too.”
“Well, a little bit.”
“What specifically are you curious about?”
“Didn’t you say there was a place with a dragon mural painted on it?”
A hidden room with a dragon mural in the drafting academy?
This was 100%.
‘The dragon’s artifact will always be there.’
If not, at least there must be something related.
Leo had previously come to the drafting academy when playing as a different character.
However, the academy is a place where many events take place, so I did not know all of these secrets.
“Huh. it’s a dragon It’s like a professor.”
“Yes?”
“Actually, isn’t it because there were dragons among our distant ancestors? Otherwise, I don’t understand the professor or Olivy’s talent… .”
“… … .”
“Whoops. just joke. Then let’s go. It might be a bit difficult because it’s deep underground, isn’t it?”
“Ah, then I’ll take Olivia-nee along too.”
said Leo.
‘If it’s hard enough to be a knight, I can’t just go.’
I definitely needed a ride.
* * *
Leo, Ailee, and Olivia.
Leo and Olivia were already famous for their handsome silver-haired beauty, and black-haired Ailee also boasted a beauty that rivaled the two.
As the three of them walked down the academy hallway, it was as if a halo shone through them.
However, if you look closely, Olivia’s expression wasn’t very good.
“lol. Olivier. Are you still mad? Stop relaxing.”
“… I am not angry.”
“Are you lying?”
“It’s not a lie!”
Olivia’s tone of voice rose a little.
Ailee caught it as if it was caught well.
“uh!? Seeing you get angry like this, do you think it’s real?”
“… … .”
Olivia kept her mouth shut, perhaps realizing that she was making fun of her.
Originally, she had no interest in this.
That’s why, even when Ailee asked to go on an expedition together, she always refused, saying that we should train during that time.
At that time, Leo said to comfort her from the side.
“sister. All of these can be good experiences, so please don’t think too badly of it.”
“Um… . I understand if you say so.”
Olivia nodded.
Having seen firsthand how great Leo is, every little thing like this with him can help you practice!
So I accepted Leo’s offer.
“This way.”
Ailee guided the two of them.
They attracted a lot of people’s attention because they have a look that would attract attention wherever they went to the drafting academy.
However, as time passed, no one was nearby because they moved to a remote place.
When they finally came to a shady place with no one around, Ailee tapped the floor.
“This is the entrance.”
“… A manhole cover?”
“Yes. We have to go inside.”
indeed.
Since the capital of the empire has a long history, the underground sewers must also be like an abyss with no end.
If something was hidden, there was a good chance it was down there.
“Well?”
Leo looked at the manhole cover and noticed something strange.
“Is there something magical about it?”
Leo’s silver eyes flashed.
The manhole cover had traces of magic from the past.
“I’m not sure because only fragments remain, but it’s a magic that fixes it so it can’t be removed.”
“Wow. You’re amazing. Do you know that at a glance? After all, Professor Leo!”
“Did you know?”
“of course. I’m the one who unlocked this. To be precise, it’s the Olivier next to me.”
“?”
Leo looked at Olivia.
She averted her eyes slightly.
“… I’ve helped you by asking you to quietly dispel magic before.”
She was the one who made use of Leo’s dispel, which no one else in the wizarding school had been able to do.
‘I’ve had a similar experience before, so I learned quickly.’
Leo smiled and waved his hand.
The manhole cover floated up and was pushed aside.
“It’s good. Then let’s go in.”
* * *
– Jerking away.
“Huh… Heo-eok… .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
– Jerking away.
“Hoo-wook… Whoop… .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
In the darkness, footsteps and rough breathing echoed in strange resonance.
Ailee looked to the side with an awkward expression.
There was Leo staggering along.
“I… Are you having a hard time, Professor?”
“hahahaha… A little bit.”
“I don’t think it’s a little… .”
Ailee was expecting an exciting adventure when she first came in.
But that’s for a while.
Leo seemed to be breathing fast, but after a while he was barely walking.
‘no… Does that make sense with that skill?’
Regardless of whether you are a wizard or a knight, your basic physical abilities improve as your skill level increases.
It was natural because it was the body that handles mana.
However, looking at Leo right now, he seemed to have less physical strength than normal people.
no. sure
‘I think my 7-year-old nephew is going to play more actively.’
On the contrary, Olivia looked at Leo with a worried expression.
Everyone in the Roman family knew that Leo was weak since he was a child.
That’s why Olivia was worried.
‘I guess I’ll have to help.’
Supporting one Leo is no big deal.
For an expert-class knight, it was nothing to carry around a sturdy male.
Even though Leo was tall, he didn’t look heavy because he was slim.
The problem wasn’t that.
‘If I said I’d help, I’d probably hurt my pride.’
No matter how old you are, men have pride.
So, in this situation, some people think that receiving help itself is an insult to honor.
That’s why Olivia noticed Leo.
It was the same with Ailee, and time passed again like that.
“Hoo-wook… Whoa… .”
Leo felt like he was about to collapse, and Olivia decided she couldn’t wait any longer.
“Leo. Will you listen without hurting your pride? In a situation where no one knows what dangers lie ahead, it seems that you need to conserve a little more of your stamina, the most powerful force. So from now on, I’m going to support you, but how about it?”
“Yes. I also agree with Olivia. You don’t know what kind of terrifying monster will pop up in front of you, so Professor Leo needs to be more cautious.”
Ailee provided adequate support.
At that moment, the two exchanged glances.
‘That was a very good excuse, Olivi.’
‘Well. Your help was great too. But will Leo accept this?’
‘well. I hope you don’t refuse… .’
It was the moment I was so worried about.
“Yes. Then, from here on out, I’ll carry you behind my sister.”
Leo said as if he had been waiting.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
The two were taken aback by the completely different attitude from what they expected.
And soon I realized
‘… Your mentality is amazing.’
‘It will hurt your self-esteem, but maybe it’s because you’re considerate of us that you don’t show that kind of thing at all.’
The two were amazed.
Being almost 10 years younger than them, they are so talented and mentally strong.
‘It’s temporary, but it’s worth becoming the youngest academy professor.’
‘I think I know why His Majesty the Emperor cares for Prince Leo so much.’
Of course, Leo was complaining inwardly.
‘Uh. I thought I was going to die hard tell me soon Are you going to talk about it after seeing someone collapse?’
Thinking so, Leo quickly climbed onto Olivia’s back.
The process was as natural as flowing water.
* * *
The three continued to descend deeper underground.
How far had this sewer been drilled, the end was still not in sight.
“Soon… Ah, we have arrived. over there.”
Ailee, who was leading the way, raised her hand and pointed to a corner of the wall.
indeed. At the end of the hallway, there was a mural with a dragon engraved on it.
Leo got down on Olivia’s back and slowly stroked the pattern.
A roaring dragon was drawn, and even though it was in the dark, it was overflowing with life.
“This is it… .”
“how is it?”
“Definitely interesting.”
Leo instinctively realized.
If you follow this pattern, you will find the artifact of the dragon you are looking for.
‘Should I search around here first?’
While looking around with that thought in mind, Ailee said.
“Actually, there is space beyond this.”
“Yes?”
“Look closely at the mouth here. Doesn’t it look like a door?”
Ailee pointed at the dragon’s mouth.
There was a tongue in the gaping mouth, but when I looked closely, it was not a tongue, but a square door.
“Five. It really is.”
“But it was sealed with powerful magic, so I couldn’t enter. Breaking it with force made me anxious because I didn’t know what was inside.”
Ailee shrugged and glared at Olivia.
“So after seeing Olivier, I asked her to come with me just once, but I was always rejected.”
“I’ll say it again, but it’s better to wield a sword or something more at that time.”
“Then why are you here now!”
“My younger sister is asking for it, so I have to listen as a sister.”
You can observe Leo’s skills a little more.
Leo checked the door.
A light shimmered in the depths of his silver eyes.
He nodded.
“It sure has a pretty strong seal on it.”
“Can you pierce it?”
“Yes.”
– Tok.
Leo touched the door with his finger once.
“The seal has been removed.”
“… … ?”
This type of fixed magic circle or seal was the best match for Leo.
Even if Lord Bahelm installed it, Leo was confident that he would break through.
While Olivia and Ailee were dumbfounded, Leo opened the door.
– Kurleung.
The door was pushed with a heavy sound as if it had been closed for a long time.
And beyond that, in the darkness, something ran.
“Cheung! Kung!”
It was a strange looking wolf covered in red veins.
It jumped out of the darkness and leaped toward Leo.
“Hey Leo!”
“professor!”
When the two people behind them pulled out their swords in surprise, Leo flicked his hand once.
-Fuck!
– Damn it!
The wolf, who had been rushing at the shot of the shadowless magic, froze.
A near 180 cm 12 year old inwardly begging to be carried lmao
