Episode 13 The Halkin Empire Imperial Grovint Academy.
The Halkin Empire.
It is an enormous empire that occupies one-third of the vast Central Continent.
The current emperor, Gecht von Halkin, was also a conqueror, but he was also a lover of all things on this continent.
He also had a dreamy temperament that all races on the continent could get along peacefully and harmoniously.
For that reason, the academy was built right away.
Academy where all races get to know each other and learn!
It’s because I believed that if that goes well, it’s not just a dream for all races to understand each other and be together.
Of course, this does not include monster races that are hostile to humanity, such as orcs and naga. Because that is something that needs to be subdued.
Baldur Contis, the president of Grovint Academy, who had such an emperor’s dream intact.
He is a magician from the 7th circle of the empire that the emperor trusts and even served as a chancellor.
For him who is fed up with politics, the emperor offers him the position of president of the academy, and Baldur accepts the offer.
It has already been twenty years.
Grovundt Academy has grown to be the best academy on the continent, and other kingdoms have also built their academies in a hurry because it produced excellent talent accordingly.
Teaching students was definitely rewarding.
Quality education made the empire even stronger.
But now, due to the first super-large event since the academy opened, the president is on the verge of bursting his head.
“Huh… What should I do with this….”
Starting this semester, the emperor will open the academy to friendly human races from all over the continent.
Because he thought that now was the best time to realize his dream.
The reason why the emperor made such a decision was the signing of the friendship treaty with the barbarians, which was the most problematic.
Emperor Gehrt, a conqueror but a lover of peace, gladly accepted Quan’s proposal.
Many servants were wary of the barbarians, but to no avail.
As evidence of that, they said they would send their own son to the academy as well.
There was no justification for refusal, even for political reasons.
With that as the starting point, the emperor sends envoys to other races on all continents.
Gather people together as evidence of peace and learn each other’s culture.
The emperor of the mighty Halkin Empire’s request was almost a compulsory order.
It is because no one could have guessed how the emperor with the face of Janus would change if he did not respond.
The leaders of all races who received the emperor’s message to cry and eat mustard decide to have their children enrolled in the imperial academy.
The president takes a closer look at the list of new entrants for this semester, who have a high priority placed in front of him.
First of all, Elias von Halkin, the youngest daughter of the Imperial Emperor.
Siloin de Duron, the youngest daughter of the neighboring kingdom of Duron.
Alota de Zerian, the youngest daughter of the same neighboring kingdom of Zerian
Many youngest daughters from many other kingdoms.
Ah, sometimes you see a 3rd, 4th, or 5th son.
Besides, I see a name that cannot be ignored even among commoners.
Maknae Master’s disciple, Sword Saint’s youngest disciple, Kwon King’s youngest disciple, Changje’s youngest disciple, Palace’s youngest disciple….
And most importantly, this race.
Arias Silverwood, youngest daughter of the Elf Queen,
The youngest daughter of the chief of the Dwarf Alliance, Taryn Jerp,
From noble mtl dot com.
The youngest daughter of the king of beastmen, Yuria Lycant,
The youngest daughter of the mermaid sea kingdom, Roshwynn Tian,
Lati Tinker, the youngest daughter of the Fairy Queen,
Solfin Drakan, the youngest daughter of the king of the dragon tribe,
Finally, the youngest son of Barbarian Kwan, the main culprit who caused this situation, is Balt Geryntu.
After checking the list once again, the president muttered to himself in a state of absurdity.
“Damn it! What’s wrong with being the youngest daughter!?”
It seems that he knew that the emperor had summoned all races from all continents, and sent only the daughters who were not hit to the imperial academy, excluding all the sons who would succeed him, just in case.
In fact, it is quite common for students to lose their lives at the academy.
The kingdoms that sent their sons have either no daughters or one.
The savages who caused this situation are the same.
As far as he knows, Quan has 12 sons.
Since he is the youngest son among them, it must mean that his importance is not high.
But the emperor’s youngest daughter is a part that shows how sincere the emperor is.
Because the emperor’s love for the youngest daughter is well known.
Looking at the roster, President Baldur’s head is pounding.
The fact that he, a Circle 7 High Wizard, suffers from headaches shows how serious the situation is.
“Haa… What on earth will the academy be like….”
But I can’t seem to find an answer.
Now it’s President Baldur who just decided to leave it to the heavens.
‘God, why did you give me such an ordeal in my old age? .’
***
“Baltic! Are you going to use the teleport to the Halquin Empire right away?”
I was going to eat and take a little break, but Ramrepo has already taken care of everything, so it seems there is no need to delay.
“Yes, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
When you arrive at the teleport station, the checkpoint search is quite tricky.
The attitude of the guards in charge of handing out the admission letter is polite.
So, after stepping into the magic circle, a wizard wearing a fancy robe asks Balt and Lisa.
Looking at that reminds me of Balt for some reason.
‘Yeah, that’s what a wizard looks like….’
“I’ll check the destination. Is it Rothhalkin, the capital of the Halkin Empire?”
“Yes.”
“I’m moving. I hope you have a comfortable trip.”
Tsupat!
With a bit of dizziness, the scenery in front of you changes and you arrive at a moving station decorated with fancy decorations.
“Welcome. Welcome to Rothhalkin, capital of the Daehalkin Empire.”
After checking again, Balt and Lisa came out and exclaimed at the magnificent capital of Halkin Empire.
“Wowaaa!!”
“Mmm!”
Wide boulevards, huge and densely packed buildings that are incomparable to other places, and the streets are full of people, and it is indeed the largest city on the continent.
‘Hey! It’s a world of difference from playing games! It’s so grand!’
Why was the city so big then? I thought Balt, but it was really amazing to face it in reality.
A true fantasy.
It’s Balt who feels his heart pounding.
Lisa is similar.
Lisa, who is said to be the daughter of a count, but has lived all her life in the south, which is no different from the outskirts, was wide-eyed at the sight of the magnificent capital.
“This, this is the capital of the empire!!”
Valt says one thing to Lisa, whose eyes are round in surprise.
“Didn’t you say you should contact your father?”
“Oh no!! Look at my mind!! The magic communication center is…! Hey there! I’m going back to Balt for a while!!”
With that said, Lisa quickly disappeared.
Balt doesn’t need anything like that. If you go to the academy, they will probably contact Kwan.
In the first place, Geruntu didn’t even have a magic communication center.
‘It’s right to go to the academy first, right?’
I wanted to let you know that I had arrived safely, but I was curious about the reward for this quest.
‘It’s a characteristic… What characteristics would you like to give… Please don’t say things like ‘I won’t harm you’.’
After waiting for a while, Lisa quickly returns.
Looking at his slightly downcast face, he seemed extremely scolded.
Well, my daughter disappeared, but I haven’t heard from her for a month….
After Lisa returns, Balt heads to the academy with Lisa.
It’s not too far from here to the academy, so Balt and Lisa decided to walk to see the streets.
While looking around the streets.
Because they became quite close now, Lisa asked questions she hadn’t been able to ask because she was afraid of Balt.
“Balt, why are you going to the academy?”
Bald doesn’t take it seriously to Lisa’s question.
“What are you going to do at the academy? I’m going to learn.”
At that, Lisa is startled and her eyes are about to pop out.
“Yes???!!!”
Balt, who thought Lisa’s surprised face was cute, said with a smile.
“Isn’t that such a surprise that she didn’t see the acceptance letter earlier?”
“Well, I thought it was a professor appointment… No, wait! Then how old is Balt…?”
Bald speaks confidently.
“Twenty years old.”
Thump!
This is the sound echoing in Lisa’s shocked head.
Are you 20 years old with that face? It’s hard to believe that he’s over 40 because he hasn’t even shaved in 30 days.
“Su, 20 years old? You’re not saying that your son is 20, right?”
“That’s a boring joke. I look young for a Geruntu… Do I look that old?”
To be honest, even if Lisa calls Balt her father right now, there is no sense of incongruity at all.
But looking closely, there are no wrinkles except for the beard, and her young skin seems to be suitable for a 20-year-old.
“No…Then the same age as me…”
“If it is unfair to use honorific words, you can also use short words.”
“No, it’s not that kind of problem!? You’re about to turn 20 and face 10 strong people on the 4th floor alone? What the hell do you eat!!”
Bald gave a simple answer to Lisa’s question.
“My father, Kwan, said that when he was 15 years old, he knocked out 5 strongmen on the 5th floor of Aura Floor.”
Monsters, this is a race of monsters.
Floor 5 when you were 15? A king named Kwan may be a great thing, but Lisa’s common sense doesn’t make it understandable.
“Oh my God…”
Lisa finally realized why her father, who was so strong, was so wary of barbarians.
However, Balt is like a colleague to himself.
A quick-tempered 20-year-old girl changes her attitude quickly to deal with Balt.
“Then we’re friends!! No? But Balt is a prince, so should we treat him with respect?”
“hahahaha, do whatever you feel comfortable with. Aren’t they just the same person?”
At Balt’s words, Lisa grinned and shouted while clinging to Balt’s back.
“Uh hee hee! I was the first to eat friends with Prince Geryungtu!!”
Balt smiled and said.
“With nothing special.”
‘A friend…….’
It’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time. Even when they were in Korea, the existence of friends was a story of a distant country to Balt.
As an orphan, I had no friends to truly share my heart with.
She becomes so sentimental that she walks around watching Lisa and the ecliptic.
Since we had plenty of money, we ate delicious food at street vendors and had a bit of fun.
Coming to think of it, Balt is the first person to play like this alone with a girl his age.
‘Not bad.’
The two arrive at the academy before they know it.
“Wow… This academy….”
With Lisa’s admiration, Balt also peeked at the entrance of the academy.
It is basic that it is grander and larger than any other building I have ever seen while walking. I can’t really see the end of how far the academy is.
The moment when even Balt is amazed at the scale that is greater than expected.
Diring!
I hear a notification about the completion of the quest.
