Episode 9. Entrance Ceremony (2)
“What are you talking about in a rude way on commoners?”
“From the first day of school, I was upset and sulky.”
After the entrance ceremony, new students rushed out of the venue.
There is only one topic that people who could not erase their displeasure from their faces talk about.
It was a story about the chief of commoners walking alone in front of me.
‘They’re still out of their minds and they’re talking behind the scenes.’
Erica, on the other hand, looked at them and shook her head.
They probably don’t even know that Schlus was sarcastic about them.
If you are a noble, you must be fair. It was just shameful that they were the same nobles.
“Hey. Our chief is hot. Isn’t it?”
“········ Einz.”
Suddenly, there was a person who approached Erica’s side and talked to her without hesitation.
Einz von Wiegenstein.
He was the heir to the prestigious Wiegenstein family, who was called an eccentric prodigy.
I wonder how many times I’ve seen him, he’s treated me like this without hesitation.
It was very uncomfortable, but Erica tried not to express it outwardly.
······The effort was made.
“With what confidence are you talking about dropping out. How many people have kept the top position throughout the first semester so far.”
“There was none.”
“Anyone? Kya. It’s hot, really.”
Erica glanced down at Einz in admiration.
Her thoughts were completely different.
Schlusus would not have risked it and provoked it.
Because for him, keeping the chief would be simple.
It’s no surprise that he gets the best grades he’s had when he sells his life to the devil.
It was obviously cheating, but I couldn’t tell anyone.
Because it was just a guess based on the circumstances without any proper basis.
Nevertheless, Erica decided to wait patiently.
If the common people had paid enough to get the top of the Imperial University, Schlusus would have only a few days left to live.
It was clear that one day he would pay the price for his sins if he persevered.
“Did I hear about the special test? It was just to see how well you can withstand the realm of fear.”
“·······The barrier of fear?”
Erica’s eyes narrowed.
barrier of fear. I’ve heard of it.
It was a barrier that the Knights used occasionally if they wanted to conduct a rigorous admission test.
It is said that it awakens the fundamental fear of human beings to the extent that if you do not pee or get tired, you will pass.
“How long you’ve endured is a perfect score. If you don’t cry, you get a perfect score. What is this? Hy! I’m going to apply for a double major and take a special test!”
“············”.
“You mean that courage is great? Then let’s test it.”
“Einz. Now what-“
Erika’s eyes widened as she walked with her head turned as if not interested.
Wasn’t Einz stretching his arm towards the back of Schlusus’s head?
Erica was sweating and casting amplification magic.
By amplifying the minute magic wave, he could quickly find out about the fact that Einz was devising a magic trick.
“Hold on.”
“That! Isn’t that flame-based magic!”
“Hey. Be quiet.”
By the time the spell was slowly put together and magical power was injected into it, Erika’s hands began to tremble.
It was a never-ending fire magic trick.
Even the amount of magical power that permeates into it is already 1000… 2000… 3000…
It soared to the ceiling and was over 10,000.
A small building was prepared with a magic power that could be easily crushed into powder.
“Hey! Chief commoner!”
“···········?”
Einz exclaimed with laughter.
At this, Schlusz looked back with an annoyed expression on his face.
The moment Erica tried to deter Einz-
“The magic quickly stops-“
Aww!
Fireworks exploded in the air with a roar that ripped the air.
The flames shot out in an instant and reached Schlus in less than a second.

Just before he swallowed Schlusus, it split in two and passed by both sides of him.
As the flames subsided, smoke filled the surroundings.
On the floor, the dents were clearly left due to the burning of the flames.
Surprised by the enormous power, there were some who hit the buttocks even though they were standing behind Einz.
But Schlus Heinkel, who received the magic directly, was-
“Why did you call me?”
He just stood there calmly and answered.
There was only an expressionless expression on his face, without the slightest flutter.
Einz and all the freshmen, who were watching the scene, were silent for a while.
***
Was it because I was nervous to give a congratulatory speech?
‘This sh*t… Why is this?’
I kept turning my eyes off and back again and again.
This is what it looks like when you lose your concentration a little.
How easy is it to use the six senses like real eyes and ears?
It’s only been a few days since I got this body.
‘uh. done.’
I just managed to restore it back to its original state.
It was a moment when I was proud that I seemed to have gotten used to it.
“Hey! Chief commoner!”
“···········?”
A playful voice came from behind.
Now I think I know who he is just by hearing his voice.
Because it was the same voice I had imagined in my head.
Einz von Wiegenstein.
A troublemaker at Imperial University.
He hid his welcome and looked back.
‘Hey, I’m sorry.’
What was the problem this time?
As soon as I turned around, my sight and hearing were lost again.
Let’s calm down for now.
I want to restore it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you’ll be seen as an asshole standing still and doing stupid bruises.
But now I can feel the warmth in my arms. What is this? Suddenly the sun is shining
arguing Now it’s almost done.
‘I’m back.’
When he finally regained his sight, all he could see was thick smoke.
And there were freshmen with their eyes wide open.
I don’t know what happened.
Why is it that even Einz, who called me, is bewildered?
Still, I thought that I had to answer in order not to look like an asshole.
“Why did you call me?”
“············”.
silence again.
There were so many people, and there was an uncomfortable silence.
Even if it was too late, I glanced around to understand the situation.
The floor was dented…?
A Y-shape with me as the center.
I think I know a little bit now.
That bastard cast a spell on me.
“People chief! You’re really strong! I liked it!”
“············”.
Returning his surprised expression, Einz with a bright smile walked over to me.
A kid who commits and sees things from scratch.
However, no matter who the opponent is, he is a good person who unconditionally acknowledges if he is superior.
That is the essence of Einz von Wiegenstein.
He’s like that, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he accidentally shot me with magic.
However, if my eyes hadn’t turned off at the amazing timing, I would have been horribly surprised and droopy.
This time, I am only grateful for my inexperienced sixth sense control.
“My name is Einz von Wiegenstein. You can call me Einz.”
“············”.
Einz put his arm on my shoulder and said.
Slowly, I started to worry.
Einz is definitely a guy with great talent.
At this point, I mean.
In the original story, he struggles hard, but is mercilessly broken in a duel by a Hurt Locker.
After that, he sticks to the main character and becomes a launcher of ignorance.
In the beginning, it was a talent with clear limits.
I don’t think it’s the talent needed for the final decisive battle at all, but…
Still, it’s just ignoring it.
Because in this world where the future has already been twisted, you never know what else will change in what way.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Schlus Heinkel. But put that arm away.”
“············”.
He sang softly so that only Einz could hear him, and his expression hardened more and more. Then he gently put his arms away.
For now, I plan to build a stack of friendships and dislikes together.
That way you can hit your hand at any time.
He’s very light and fussy, so you never know when, where, and what kind of accident you might have, so it’s better to prepare ahead of time.
You can become tired if you are tied up for nothing.
“Uh, uhh…. I’m sorry. We’ll have dinner together after a while-“
“I’ll see you again when the class starts.”
“Huh? Uh-uh—-.”
He cut off Einz’s words and cut them off.
Once Einz has fallen in love with the opponent, he has an infinite affinity for them unless they hit the back of the head.
When I glanced behind me, I saw Erica, Trie, Iris, etc….
The faces of the Named caught my eye.
Talking to them in advance will also help in the long run.
However, there were so many things I had to do before the start of the class, so I decided to give up.
I turned my back to Einz and walked towards the dormitory.
“That bitch-“
Ignoring Erika’s clear voice.
***
“ha······.”
Lady Liechtenburg closed the door with a helpless sigh.
Her legs trembled and she tried to sit down, but she managed to hold on to the doorknob.
-Oh right. What did Erica’s sister say? How did you feel about attending the entrance ceremony of the imperial university you longed for?
The scene where Yulia was talking with a pale face and smiling brightly was played back in her head.
If the woman keeps crying, it must have been an attempt to change the topic.
Read at noblemtl.com
Julia is another daughter of the woman, that is, the younger sister of Erika.
Unlike Erica, who was born with an active and outstanding talent, Yulia was born with an incurable disease.
The disease, for which no doctor could find out the cause, corroded Yulia’s stamina as she grew older, and eventually made it impossible to walk.
‘Even the sky is indifferent.’
Liechtenburg staggered down the hallway, wiping away her tears.
The doctors all agree that Julia won’t be past the age of 10.
That was a hopeful observation, and there were doctors who said that it would not be strange if he died tomorrow.
Of course, she didn’t believe it at all.
No, I didn’t want to believe it.
“Mrs.”
“Yeah, what’s going on?”
“A certain man is looking for Mrs. at the back door. They say you’ll understand when you say crow….”
“············”.
Crow.
Upon hearing this, Liechtenburg’s expression hardened.
“Door. Shall we open it?”
“No. Leave it alone.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Leaving behind the butler who bowed her head to answer, Ms. Liechtenburg quickly walked out through the hallway.
I went through the dark garden to the back door, but there was no one in sight.
At the moment the woman was puzzled, a black figure slowly appeared in the pitch black.
“Mrs. Liechtenburg. The requested information has arrived.”
“Who told you to come home? I’m sure they told you to send it through the mail.”
“It could contain sensitive information, so we had to be careful about security.”
“············”.
“hahahaha. You look very uncomfortable even if you say this. You didn’t want to face me like that.’
Liechtenburg frowned and closed her mouth.
If it were her, she would never have asked for a ‘crow’.
However, since it was about commoners that his daughter Erica was interested in, he had no choice but to borrow the power of darkness to proceed with the investigation.
“Give me some information.”
“Here you go. hehehe.”
“············”.
Lady Liechtenburg took a piece of paper from the man with a sullen smile.
The woman tried to pull out the paper through the iron gate, but met resistance.
It was because the man grabbed the paper and didn’t let it go.
“What are you doing?”
“Let’s check one thing. Maybe your daughter-“
“If you say more than that, you will not be safe.”
“hahahaha. I’m sorry. I’m off topic. I’ve completed the quest, and I’ll go now.”
The man turned around sarcastically, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Liechtenburg watched the scene, then turned to the paper.
Schlus Heinkel.
It was information about a first-year commoner who became a big topic recently.
In the beginning, there was only basic information about Schlus Heinkel.
The woman who read it without expectation because it was something she already knew-
“What is this….”
Moving on to Schlust’s past, his hands began to tremble.
The woman’s face was colored with astonishment after reading it to the end.
Why did the flame go around him?
Also, did she really try to kill him when she first met him?
The author is trying to pass it off as a prank but this isn’t a prank.
Using this level of spell on someone suddenly can’t be considered a prank.
