Chapter 3
Time passed quickly and the day of admission came.
All preparations were made a few days ago, so all I had to do was check the suitcase, and the carriage was also reserved in advance. All that’s left is to say goodbye to your parents.
“Our dear Isaac. Do I have to pay the books even if I go to the academy?”
“…Mom, books are more important than me, don’t you?”
“Sure.”
“… …”
“Fufu. It’s a joke. Don’t make a face like that.”
I don’t think it’s a joke. I laughed bitterly. Still, he loved his children so much that he gave them a hug.
“Isaac. I’ve got something for you, my father.”
The next greeting was my father, who gave me a pen.
It looks like a pen called a ‘fountain pen’ in a previous life, and the golden frame on the black background attracted attention.
For me, who was always using only the nib, it was giving off a beautiful figure that made my eyes wide open.
So when I switched between the fountain pen and my father, my father explained with a happy smile.
“It’s called a magic pen. It has a magic that replaces mana with ink. If you can recharge only mana, you can use it for the rest of your life.”
“Hey, isn’t this expensive?”
In this world, magic developed instead of science. It can also replace complex things such as machines and engineering with magic.
However, since the magic here is not popularized or popularized, it is mostly used only by the upper classes.

Even these magical items require detailed work, so most of them are made by Dwarves themselves.
So the price of this magic pen, which my father gave me as a present, would be ridiculously expensive. At least, the cost of living for a year would not exceed the cost of living for ordinary people. It is a very heavy bleed for a father who has the status of a baron.
“This is nothing compared to the money you earned. And since it’s a present for you, all I can think of is this. I’m sorry about this dad.”
“father…”
“I don’t mean to say that you should write hard even if you go there, but that you neglect your studies. If there is something difficult, ask your older brother and sister there.”
My father gave me advice in a warm voice and held the magic pen in my hand. As he worked as a knight for the rest of his life, he could feel his hardened hands.
Then he stroked my lump between the first and second knuckles of my middle finger. The calluses I have acquired while working hard on writing so far are often referred to as ‘pen-hook’.
“You could even call this a wound of glory. Daddy is proud of you.”
“… …”
“This is an honor that you have earned yourself and not anyone else. So, you want to act with pride.”
“…Yeah.”
It is an honor and a blessing to be born and raised by such good parents. There is nothing more important than growing up under good parents.

Even in the past life, the family disappeared before repaying the favor, but this is not the present life. I shared a deep hug between father and son and boarded the pre-booked carriage.
“Then I’ll go!”
“Take care of yourself! When it’s vacation, I come with my brother and sister!”
“If there’s anything, don’t call me! I hope you’re healthy!”
My parents watched me till the end even after I got on the carriage. As the distance increases, he enters the mansion, but he keeps glancing behind him.
‘I’m leaving now.’
I looked outside in the rattling wagon. The estate that my father was managing was empty enough to be called a rural village.
Instead, there are almost no monsters, and Young Ji-min lives happily every day, so it is a place full of laughter and vitality. And since his father was a knight who had built up terrible achievements, some young men visit his father directly to receive training.
Occasionally, whenever I write, there is quite a lot of noise outside, but most of them are aspiring knights who are being trained by their father. Perhaps some of the best of them are known to have been sent to the academy by their fathers under their names.
‘Can’t you see that now?’
What should I say about this feeling right now… I couldn’t describe it in one word.
I’m looking forward to it, but I wondered if I would be able to adapt well, as I’ve never had a lot of interpersonal relationships. It is a completely different world from the place I know.
It is said that all places where people live are the same, but it is unclear whether common sense will apply here as well. There are too many variables in the world where there are only a few identities.
‘What are you doing now that you are so worried?’
I decided to take it easy. People won’t even dream that I’m the author of Xenon’s biography, and I just have to act like a sincere student.
I don’t know what I will learn at the academy, but my goal is to study hard and get a scholarship. If trouble occurs in your life, you can tell your brother or sister.
‘I have to go and find my brother and sister first.’
My sister’s hair is indigo blue, but my brother has red hair like his father, so it will be easy to find. Because red hair is not common in this world. Especially the golden eyes shining like a wild beast.
I leaned back comfortably on the backrest, and then a question came to mind and I asked the driver.
“Mister coach. How many hours does it take to get to the academy?”
“If the weather is good, it will take about ten hours.”
“It’s shorter than I thought. I thought it would take at least a day.”
“The estate that Baron Michelle manages is close to the capital. Besides, this estate has not been developed yet, but development will begin in earnest after 5 years.”
10 hours is the perfect time to read a book in moderation or take a nap. Still, it doesn’t change that it’s a very long time.
When I was reincarnated for the first time, there were times when I wondered how to spend time to the fullest. The result was a book.
But sometimes I feel like science could have been invented a little more. Even Dwarves, who are more dexterous than humans, put their efforts into crafting superior weapons and items, and transportation is behind the scenes.
‘Should I put it in Xenon’s biography? A masterpiece created by the Dwarven craftsmen together.’
This won’t be bad either. At the same time, there are a lot of geeks out there who are not new to Dwarves and even make bizarre magical weapons. So, if there is a goal for transportation and supplies, and a moderately gloomy past, the probability is sufficient.

Especially among Dwarves, a teacher and a disciple are the same as parents and children, so I heard from my father that there is a tradition that the disciple will follow when the master dies.

Even if it means being pointed at by everyone, I tend to endure it to the end. With this, you can see why there are so many geeks in Dwarves.
‘The unfortunate past had to end. You can set it up as a moving steam locomotive by burning mana.’
I wrote in my notebook with a magic pen that my father gave me. I had the habit of recording so I don’t forget it in my past life, so now I tend to use a notebook instead.
‘Anyway, I don’t even know how it works, should I really make it?’
As I will tell you in advance, I am a literati. Do you know anything about machines?
Just express it as much as you can roughly imagine in your head, and if it is difficult, you can add an illustration.
As a side note, I’m surprisingly good at drawing. When Xenon’s biography was first published, a world map was attached for easy understanding of readers.
Of course, I can’t say that I have excellent drawing skills, but it was enough to immerse me in it. Drawing by myself was fun, so I attached several illustrations to each book release.
‘It just feels like an old novel.’
Before the web novel became a hit in a previous life, paper books had several illustrations for understanding the world view. Thanks to that, I was able to immerse myself more.
I wrote down the settings for the steam locomotive in a notebook, and checked that the ink was dry. After all, the ink in the notebook dried quickly, probably because it was expensive.
It made me feel better that my father gave me something really good. From then on he concentrated on reading until he arrived.
“Guest?”
“… …”
“Guest?”
“Yeah?”
While I was concentrating on reading, the driver called me. I closed the book for a moment and lifted my head.
“We’ll be arriving at Halo Academy soon.”
“Huh? Already?”
“Heh heh heh. Not already. Ten hours have passed. Your concentration is terrifying.”
The coachman said with a wide smile. I scratched my head at the redness and glanced out the window.
“Wow…”
It is also a city, and it is also a capital. It is quite different from the street.
In my hometown, when I go out on the street, most of the fields or farmland are filled with buildings. The style of the building and the pedestrians walking on the street make you feel as if you are in Europe.
Occasionally, I saw a knight wearing iron armor and a wizard with a staff, but apparently he was in charge of security.
“If you look ahead, you will see the Halo Academy.”
“Where… oh.”
As the coachman said, looking ahead, I saw a building with a unique structure. My review of seeing it.
‘…Is it Hogwarts?’
No lie, Hogwarts from Harry Potter is standing there. Up to a conical roof with the size of a castle. It has the same Hogwarts appearance as I knew it.
Of course, it’s not exactly the same, there are some differences, but there’s not much difference.
‘Aren’t magic spells like Abracadabra?’
I’ve never seen a wizard with my own two eyes, so I even think about it.
“I’ve arrived. I hope you have a good life then.”
“Thank you. Good job.”
When I got off the carriage, the driver greeted me like a gentleman. I also greeted according to the etiquette I learned at home.
After that, the coachman smiled once and turned around. I turned my back to watch the coachman walk away.
“Hey…”

Even if I didn’t want to show it, admiration naturally came out of my mouth. Anyone who has lived on Earth can understand how I feel.
Wouldn’t anyone be amazed by the fantasy civilization that existed only in comics and novels in front of me? I felt it even from a distance, but it was the same as a castle, not a university.
“…this is not the time.”
I quickly came to my senses and looked around. Around there, people presumed to be freshmen are already heading towards the gate.
Occasionally, I saw people wearing uniforms, that is, school uniforms, and they were probably students. School uniforms are provided only to incoming students.
So, calming my pounding heart, I walked towards the gate. As I moved my feet, I heard the sound of the luggage being dragged in the suitcase.
“Oh! Oh! Look over there! Isn’t that Prince Leorth?”
“Really. You look great whenever you see me…”
“Are you next to Princess Rina?”
“Perhaps so? The princess is pretty too. I’m envious.”
Then, suddenly, the atmosphere became noisy. People heading to the entrance to the academy stopped in the middle and looked in one direction.
I also turned my head to see what the fuss was. And there were two men and women walking side by side, exuding her beauty that made her eyes dazzling.
“…Five.”
People can be like that. I’m also proud of my face right now, but in front of that man, I felt like I had to fold up.
Also, how about a woman walking side by side with a man? Wearing a pure white dress, she is exuding as beautiful as an elf who is called the incarnation of beauty.
The peculiar thing is that both of them are blonde and have a wall, although their impressions are slightly different, everyone can see that they are brothers and sisters.
“…More than that, the Crown Prince and the Princess?”
Those two people who caught me and kicked me in the newspaper? As I was thinking about it, someone grabbed them.
She was a cute girl with wavy brown hair and round eyes, and her body was relatively small, like a squirrel.
“Leort-sama! Long time no see!”
“Um? You…”
It would not have been an illusion that Leort’s expression was cracked for a moment.

Either way, the girl with brown hair was more attached to Leort. Seeing that she secretly crossed her arms, it seemed that she was trying to emphasize her friendship with Leort to those around her.
However, Leort reacted bluntly even when the girl folded her arms. Meanwhile, she said in a girly voice.
“I’m Sophia! Do you recognize me?”
“…ah. Sophia’s little girl. I know you well.”
gourd Anyone can tell by looking at the artificial smile. The prince is very displeased now.
Heck, it makes me angry when someone I don’t know bumps into me on the way. Especially if it’s a masterpiece with a clear purpose.
Unfortunately, however, the young girl named Sophia was ignorant of whether or not she had two lives, and she made her body even closer.
The expression of being touched is a bonus.
“Gee, you remember! I honestly thought you didn’t know…!”
“How can I not know a little and cute woman like you?”
“Ahh…!”
hey Look at her shamelessly lying without saliva in her mouth. Still, anyone with that voice and that face would be thrilled.
Of course, acting is not difficult at all.
‘It’s not easy for the Crown Prince.’
I took a step back after being fed up with some kind of pity. It is a story from a distant country to me, so any meddling is only poison.
“That’s right! Did you read the biography of Zeno published this time, too, Leort-nim?”
Until Sophia asks such a question. I stopped walking and looked at Leort again.
As soon as the story about Zeno’s biography came out, Leort’s expression became brighter than before. He liked me enough to threaten to lock me up in the imperial palace, so it might be natural.
“Of course. Did you read the priesthood this time too?”
“Of course! But the ending… I was angry because the author seemed to be playing with people’s hearts. Leorth agrees, right?”
“That’s why the author is so talented that he can move people’s hearts. I also got angry after reading the ending. My younger brother is the same.”
“Lina-sama too?”
Sophia’s gaze turned to the princess, that is, to Lina. Lina replied with a smile.
But his gaze was not on Sophia, but on Leort.
“Brother. Do I even have to say such a thing? It’s embarrassing.”
Why do you make me spark sparks? sounds like this
But Leort wasn’t easy either.
“Originally, hobbies are fun to share.”
Let’s suffer together. It sounds like this.
Although he speaks mildly and uses noble language, the essence of the siblings does not seem to change wherever he goes.
“How did you two feel when you read the ending? It’s like what you saw in the newspaper…”
“Ah. That’s it? You don’t have to worry about it too much because it was written on a whim.”
“Me too. Miss Sophia doesn’t have to worry about it.”
That’s very fortunate news for me. I let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if I had lost an hour.
Seriously, who would write such a thing in a newspaper with the bare mind…
“Well, I’m half sincere that I want to be locked up in the Imperial Palace. Hahaha.”
“… …”
I’m never going to get involved with or run into any of these bastards.
I moved my legs quickly, wanting to hear nothing more.
‘no. But wait. Is it possible for the princess to enter the school too?’
When I think about it, the situation seems to have gotten worse.
you must never hear
