Episode 22
“Cellidia, are you going too?”
“no?”
“No, go to sleep, permission?”
Basically, going out on holidays is not restricted.
In the city center of the Empire, it is not controlled unless it causes a major problem.
But Celidia is different.
Spirit Chimera.
In short, since he was a bombshell who could not properly control even one elemental magic, he would have been restricted from going out of the academy until recently.
“Now you are free.”
He pricks up his ears as if he’s relieved somewhere.
Thanks to my indiscretion, Celidia learned the art of spiritism at an early age.
Also, the villain who should be bothering her is gone, so it’s a ramp.
“And I’ve never been to Imperial City before.”
“hmm… … . Go around a lot. Miss Celidia.”
“… … I have never been there.”
Well, there’s nothing more boring than wandering the streets alone on a holiday.
‘Did he not have any friends?’
Come to think of it, neither in the game nor here, I haven’t seen Celidia’s friend.
Despite the fact that he’s the most promising person in the Spiritual Art class, other students don’t even come close to him.
“okay. But I’m not particularly good at it, so I can’t guarantee it’ll be a fun weekend?”
“are you okay. The plan is over here.”
For some reason, it sounds like you didn’t even expect my escort from the beginning.
Celidia takes something out of her arms and proudly presents it to me. It was parchment with something scrawled on it.
“What is this again?”
“Cooking class recommendation 100 best restaurants in Imperial City.”
“… … I was really excited.”
Thanks to being released as soon as it is released, it seems that it has recently opened its eyes to the exploration of taste.
“Huh, it would be nice to open your eyes to other pleasures.”
“Shut up, devil.”
Celidia briefly replies when Emily looks down at Celdia as if she is pleased with what she says.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad.
By nature, spirits are weak against demons, so it’s not strange that they don’t like them.
“Anyway, I’ll turn around.”
“… … I’ll gladly follow you, unless you plan to visit all 100 places in one day.”
It was around the time when I made an appointment and engraved the schedule into the schedule in my head.
“Chit, don’t be carefree. The honor student who smells like a corpse.”
It sounded strangely sarcastic, like it was trying to argue.
There is no need to ask whom to speak to.
I pretended to sigh exaggeratedly and glanced at him.
A boy with dark blond hair who does not hide his somewhat violent aura.
“… … Was it Willot Malkenius?”
“Oh, it’s nice that I don’t have to introduce myself. draft.”
“This is also the same. I hate annoying greetings.”
He laughed wildly, and I snorted.
Willot Malkenius.
The royal family of Malcedil Kingdom, a country adjacent to the Empire.
However, unlike his birthplace, the image and history attached to him.
‘A hot-blooded asshole. Combat power meter No. 2.’
As you can tell just by looking at it, he is such a pitiful friend who gets robbed after arguing with others around him.
By the way, the number 1 meter is me.
Ah, since I beat him, he’s number one now.
“Stop talking white and talk about your business.”
“Sian, I heard rumors that your skills are worth using.”
“so?”
“Stay by my side.”
Are you trying to subdue me and bring me into your clique after you hate me and envy me?
‘More than that, why did you come and quarrel with me… … .’
Originally, the relationship between ‘Xian’ and Willot was not very good. But there was nothing for the two to fight.
If so, one answer.
Well done. Even if it’s not, there was something I wanted to say at a time like this.
“Answer?”
“Heh.”
I laughed lightly and put the line in my mouth.
Just right.
“I don’t listen to people weaker than me.”
For some reason I wanted to say this someday.
“… … what?”
“Honestly, why would I follow a guy like you because I regret it?”
For example, overwhelming wealth and fame? A payoff too big to refuse?
From noble mtl dot com
Give me half the world if you want to hire me.
But I can’t offer anything like that to this guy.
If you say royalty, you have to do it on your own home ground.
“You guys… … . know who i am… … .”
“know. The poor prince of the Malcedil Kingdom~. But what about this This is the Imperial Academy.”
From the moment we entered this school, the only thing that divided us into superiors and inferiors was talent and achievements.
What about royalty, nobility, or a kid running around in the slums?
‘Well, it’s a good sound, but.’
I don’t think they are equal in the slightest, but the basis on which I can claim this is simple.
“Skill is everything. And am I better?”
because i’m stronger
“Keugh… … . this child… … .”
“Or are you going to go to the dean right now and ask? Are you whimpering that you want to play a prince?”
“This bastard!”
As Willott takes a step forward in a huff, Celidia’s eyes narrow, unlike me, who doesn’t care at all.
Emily smiled strangely as if she was looking forward to watching the fight.
no, don’t fight
Putting aside his temper, he’s not a guy whose head can’t turn to the point where fists come out of nowhere.
“… … Xian, you will regret it.”
“What specifically? What can you do with words alone?”
“I’ll step on you with the skills you speak of.”
“oh… … . That would be so much fun.”
I’m looking forward to it, so I can’t sleep at night.
“Remember it.”
The guy took his followers and retreated as if he were promising the next step.
heh bland.
Unlike me, who sighs and doesn’t care, Celidia glances in the direction where he disappeared, displeased.
“… … Xian, are you going to fight?”
“I told you. don’t fight why are you angry Celidia.”
“But that guy… … .”
It seems that you are concerned about the abusive remarks made to me.
the smell of a corpse It’s really prejudice against black magicians. Actually, I didn’t even learn the Necromancer skill because it didn’t suit my taste.
“You don’t have to pay attention to all the bullsh*t of an ignorant bastard.”
I said it’s okay and patted Celia’s head lightly with my hand.
“But Xian? From the looks of this sister, it sounded like she wanted you to attack her on purpose.”
“Ah, what… … I can’t say no.”
What I said to Willot earlier was clearly a provocation.
Even considering that he came out rudely first.
“I was convinced that he would need it sooner or later when he started talking to me.”
“Do you need it?”
“… … sequencing.”
It is like a small society of young people.
A group like that is absolutely necessary.
order.
‘That’s just the right number.’
He’s combat power meter No. 2.
And why do you need a bully like a combat power meter… … .
‘It’s for momentum.’
* * *
What is the most important class in the Imperial Academy? basic studies? Culture?
Not like that.
The subjects taught in each class are different, but there are almost common things except for some classes.
combat training.
“Where do you think magical knowledge is most used?”
Professor of magical warfare. Professor Enilein Milder asks where the field of magic is most used.
Currently, in this world, magic is widely used in various fields, and it is frantic to study a wider range of uses.
For architecture, medicine or entertainment.
Regardless of public magic or black magic, the current social foundation cannot be established without magic.
Then, what is the fastest course to get ahead by using magic?
“It is a battle.”
The professor spoke in an aloof tone, without changing his complexion.
The place where magic is used a lot is fighting. A field that takes away lives regardless of whether they are monsters or humans.
“Some of you will think it’s barbaric. But it is definitely a fact that the history of magic proves.”
Most of the magic is combat magic for attack and defense, and the proportion of teaching it in the academy is never low.
Even more so, the battlefield is where heroes are born.
“Neither I nor the dean have any intention of forcing a battle, but at least you should know how to use it.”
After explaining the significance of combat magic, the professor then begins to explain examples of using magic in battle and basic tactics.
‘I should definitely know how to fight.’
Both for success and for my future. I desperately understand the reason why I have to learn how to fight like the professor said.
After the theoretical explanation is over, the practice begins in earnest.
mock battle.
Designate opponents with similar abilities to practice combat using magic.
“There is no need to be afraid. A special barrier is placed in the place where mock battles are held.”
Within the barrier, the opponent’s magic power is limited and becomes equal.
Basically, enough magic power to chant the 2nd circle magic five times.
“In addition, a barrier that drastically reduces the power of the spell is activated, and a barrier that suppresses bleeding and reduces pain will also be applied, so don’t worry.”
As the professor waved his staff several times while explaining, the light flickered several times to see if the barrier overlapped.
Public Magic Class Professor Enilein Milder.
My major is combat magic.
During active duty, he belonged to the Imperial Magic Corps and was a skilled person who was said to have annihilated enemies with barrier magic.
“Even with injuries, the healers at the academy are excellent. As long as your head and heart are intact, I’ll do something for you, so don’t worry.”
Unlike the words that smile kindly, the contents cannot bear to laugh.
“Please enjoy fighting.”
Come on, kill each other! isn’t it?
Since when did the academy class become the site of a battle royale?
Most of them were organized in consideration of people with similar skills, but there were some that stood out.
For example, senior year senior Elsia.
After the mock battle began, she got a valid decision from her opponent in just two spells.
If the criterion for judgment had been actual combat, it would have been fatal or severely injured, making it difficult to continue the battle.
After disturbing the opponent with the first magic, the second attack magic hit the opponent’s heart.
What a great skill.
‘Well, first of all, you’re the strongest in your grade… … .’
Because she is the daughter of a mother who uses both magic and sword skills at a high level and is completing both courses with top-class grades.
Does he have a 48-hour day?
I don’t even want to follow you. Yes, you are number one.
‘by the way… … When will my turn come?’
Who will be the unlucky guy to stick with me?
As I waited with a little excitement, the next student’s name was called.
“Willot Malkenius.”
Um, is that arch-prince?
He grinned as if he had waited and stepped forward. For an instant, the eyes turn in this direction.
It’s not an illusion.
“Willott’s opponent is… … .”
“Professor, may I ask you a favor?”
“What is it?”
“There is an opponent who wants to fight.”
The guy asked the professor politely enough to be unbelievable in his usual words and actions.
Even if he looks like that, since he’s a prince, of course he must have learned the basics.
“I hope to fight with Xian.”
is this a bar? make a nomination?
“draft… … You mean?”
“He is regarded as an excellent warlock. Of course, wouldn’t it be helpful to compete with a suitable opponent to improve each other’s skills?”
dog sound.
The ulterior motive is obvious.
Because I said I don’t listen to the weak.
Are you trying to show the difference in power in public?
‘You’re funny… … .’
I was rather dumbfounded and laughed silently.
just like the game
In the game, the target was the main character, but now it’s me.
“What is Xian-kun’s opinion?”
It doesn’t matter if you refuse.
But I readily agree.
“It doesn’t matter. I think Willot would be a good opponent.”
thanks.
Even if it wasn’t, I thought it was necessary to organize the order.
I was going to make a suitable excuse within a few days, but you create an opportunity for yourself?
