#One
“You didn’t find out much?”
Monday evening.
As promised the other day, the members of the “Mana Control I” group task gathered again in one place. While gathering the information that each of us had gathered during the time including last weekend, Alfres looked at me and said this as he looked at me and presented the document that he had written as hard as he could with a sense of shame.
“sorry. White is really nothing.”
“I know you’re not the kind of person to be sulky… … ”
Alfres patted his chin.
“I don’t know what I can use this for, me too.”
Lenny and Alfres, and even Hector with his eyes closed with his arms crossed in the chair opposite. All of them are pretty thick. If you put those together into one thesis, it would be enough to hold a separate seminar, but it probably won’t be. You have to cut off the crooked branches and keep only the important ones.
Of the dogs, I was the only one with only three pages. Somehow, I went through other books as much as I could and filled in all the relevant information, but in the end it ended up looking sloppy. As if forcibly increasing the quantity. It is understandable that Alpris reacts like that.
“Look at this. What do you really have?”
Knowing that, I brought the books I referenced.
He didn’t seem suspicious of me at all, but I wonder if there must be a reason why he couldn’t find the information. With a hint of curiosity, the members looked at the pages of the book I opened. Except for Hector.
“… … It’s true. The description is one page at the end. Besides, this book is relatively new. Are the other books the same as this one?”
“Even so.”
“Actually, I had never even heard of white, so I looked it up when I had time… … I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t find it.”
Lenny muttered and nodded her head.
“I can’t help it. So, let’s unpack what we’ve investigated. The deadline for submission is three days later, so if possible, I should finish task #1 here.”
Alpris tapped the neatly arranged documents a couple of times on the table.
As I was in charge of the research thesis, it was clear that there would be considerable setbacks if I did not finish it here. Even if I had no choice but to have no information, there was no excuse for my ignorance of not finding information that might be there. I have no choice but to work even harder to prepare for the presentation on Thursday.
“I am brown. They are generally good at magic, and they say that they have a high aptitude for earth type magic. The progenitor was three thousand out of ten thousand, Archiel Vina. It is said that this person is like a magical mother who raised the level of human magic by a century… … Why have I never heard of it?”
After that, he continued to talk about the brown series, and after a brief explanation, Alfres looked ahead. Lenny was preparing for her next turn. Leni, who was watching the timing, carefully opened her mouth.
“I am yellow. A long time ago, the Eight Thousand who killed the Demon Dragon, a man named Robert Horde, is the progenitor… … Showing excellent qualities in body work, physical skills, etc… … It has a high aptitude for fire and flames. I’ve never learned magic properly in my life, is this real?”
“It’s not necessarily just magic that includes the attribute series. I know there are quite a few swordsmen and knights who can use attribute magic. Lenny, you’re sincere, so I think you’ll do well if you learn it once.”
“Oh, no. What’s on my topic… … Even handling a sword right now is inexperienced. I can’t do one well, but if I want to do more than one thing at once, my body will not be enough… … ”
is it right
Just like Alfresco, it made me feel happy to read the lines I had written in a round and pretty font. He looks so innocent and small, so maybe he looks cuter. As for Yuri, I like cute things. I feel healed.
“Why, why do you look like that?”
“yes? No, go on.”
Lenny looked at me blankly instead of explaining. When he shakes his head to mean nothing, he tilts his gaze and lowers his gaze again.
It was Lenny’s turn, followed by Hector.
“… … Southern series. Gucheon (九天), Heinkel Yesod is the progenitor. As written here, he shows excellent talent in mana manipulation and water. I’ve never served an ancestor like this, but I don’t think it’s wrong.”
Oh yes.
The short description and the lengthy document showed that Hector was not wasting his work.
Oh, what. Even if I don’t like it because there’s something I said in the beginning. This side is better than the corrupt aristocracy, drenched in vanity and consciousness of the side looking down on the things below. Aren’t you always attending meetings here and there and doing your homework properly? He was a figure without any flaws as a member of the crew.
When it was my turn, I finally said.
“All I have to say is that it’s as short as the description you gave me. I have nothing to say. sorry. But let me explain for a moment… … ”
He held out a piece of paper that was thick enough to flutter without strength no matter how hard he held it and slapped it, and showed it to the members and continued the conversation.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen it before, but it seems that Keter, the one thousand Shia, is the progenitor. Typical aptitude… … ”
Alfres muttered instead of me.
“… … Shows aptitude for all elements and attributes, d. Because dealing with certain attribute types requires unusual magic sensitivity or manipulation. Isn’t this the same thing as saying that you have enough qualities as an archmage? No. Can you just do anything? Does this have to be arranged to get into the Epic class? crazy.”
“I was also surprised when I first saw it… … Inherent magic is something that is given to the soul, but as the generations go on, the essence becomes more and more blurred, but white is not like that. The number of objects was very small… … ”
“Aside from that, your magical talent seemed to be less than Pente (5) if you hit it well. Ezio Cranil.”
Alfres and Lennie reacted astonishingly, and Hector looked at me with a very sarcastic look. It’s like you have a lot of talent, but why are you still staying there? The exact meaning is unknown.
I couldn’t be more honest about it. Because that was true.
But I never learned anything like this in middle school. It was only a few months ago that I got a new talent. I think this progress is very rapid. Of course, I had no intention of telling Hector the secrets inside me.
“You will develop well in the future, okay?”
“… … Hmm.”
As if to do it on your own, Hector turned off his nerves.
#2
As a result of meeting for about two hours after that.
“great. I think this will suffice for task 1. Hey, it’s over sooner than I thought. I was expecting it to take about an hour or three.”
Alfres, who was in charge of writing the thesis, smiled. I put the documents in my bag with the promise that I would take them with me and return them as copies tomorrow.
“Are you staying up all night writing this?”
“uh… … Maybe it is? I have to give it to you in two days. Can’t you prepare for the presentation in the morning?”
“You will suffer. I’ll buy you some rice next time.”
“really? I’m not the type to reject this. Can I ask you to buy me the most expensive restaurant in District 2?”
Even if you are rich, there is a difference between spending your own money and others’ money. In the first place, when it comes to the most expensive restaurant in the frontier, which is shiny enough to be called the city of gold in the empire, no matter how wealthy aristocrats are, when they take out their wallets, they have no choice but to cry. But now I have a well-founded confidence.
“It’s only once, no problem.”
“OK. As soon as I get back, I start working right away.”
Alfress laughed softly.
I turned to the side.
“Lenny, are you okay?”
“Yes Yes?”
“Let’s eat together later. rice.”
“Hey, I haven’t been of much help… … ”
“Don’t say that. It means that we worked hard together, so it’s okay to have a meal together, right? will you come or not? I only ask once. There is no next time.”
“… … Go, I’ll go!”
okay. so be it
I unintentionally paid attention to Hector, and Hector, of course, seemed unwilling to participate in the meeting. I just close my eyes without responding.
Alpris didn’t even bother talking to Hector. It’s because he’s always been busy, even if it’s not for group assignments. what a lot of work to do
“Once task 1 is over.”
There was only one left.
task two. Complete the stars.
“Did everyone practice a lot?”
Me and Hector are not worried. Because it was a success from the first step. Alpris, on the other hand, needed a little more effort, and Lenny… … As you can see now, he was making an expressionless face.
“that is… … I’m sorry… … I practiced a lot, but… … I don’t think it’s possible either… … ”
It’s impossible to suddenly wake up to magic manipulation overnight. I didn’t know if the professor would take some consideration if I could only see the traces of hard work. He shrugged his shoulders lightly to signify that it was okay.
“it’s okay. Let’s do it as far as we can. I brought a sheet of paper, so let’s draw each one a few times and put them together when it’s time to disband. If it doesn’t work today, we’ll meet tomorrow or two days later… … ”
“no. Then all of them have a prior arrangement.”
“… … Oh yeah? Then I have to do it by today.”
He seems like a very busy guy. If it is not decided, one of the methods is to gather together in the morning of the day of submitting the assignment and make it in a hurry. First of all, the top priority was to complete all the tasks before disbanding today.
At that moment, I was handing out the sheets I took out of my bag to the crew and looking at my amount of sheets on the table.
It’s white though.
One remaining spot caught my eye.
I was wondering how to do this. Youth Phil Deria, I haven’t seen you anywhere since. He didn’t even do harm to me while holding a grudge. Am I just thinking of getting rid of my group assignments and scores completely like this?
Youth Phil was the main culprit who tried to ruin the smooth execution of the task, so I think it is right to get rid of it. It wasn’t that I had any regrets or regrets about my choice.
I just had a brief thought that something might be deducted from the evaluation of task 2 due to the youth feeling not participating.
“I’ll go downstairs. It looks like food.”
“Oh, yes.”
Then, as time went on, the members also became hungry, so they each ordered something to eat. When I heard that the downstairs was calling me, I got up and said that.
I put the cups I drank in the fine steam on a tray and placed it on the shelf.
Ignoring the gaze that caught my eye every time I walked, I went down the stairs slowly to the first floor.
“No. 53- The honey cheesecake you ordered came out-.”
Probably Lenny’s. There was something else to do besides that. Seeing the plates on the tray, I approached it. When I went to get the food I had ordered, I had no choice but to open my eyes.
“thank you-. Have a good time… … ?”
what.
… … What?
“… … Youth Feel?”
“… … ah.”
A youth feeling wearing a cafe staff uniform apron smiled brightly in front of me, then hardened like a stone in that state.
