#3
All circles that exist in the Epic Class and furthermore the Frontier have three classifications.
A confederation circle that is not limited to one class, but brings together students from several classes in the Frontier.
A central circle where all students of one class are eligible to join, and provides abundant support such as a dedicated circle room.
A general circle that did not become the center circle due to its relatively small size or performance.
These three types of circles are located inside the Frontier.
“At first, most of the circles were run autonomously by students without even being an advisor, but since I was the president of the first circle I founded, as a professor and senior, I am in charge of special advisors so that the essence of the circle is not obscured. . However, the scale is too large for me to manage by myself, but it is not without the tendency to be a bit overpowered. So, the student in charge of the chairperson is having a hard time… … ”
Professor Zeppelin was also an Epic class graduate. It took me a while to open my eyes to a fact I didn’t know at all.
“Ezio-kun.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t you want to learn magic?”
You must already be learning every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Zeppelin smiled and said so.
——Is it magic?
The amount of magical power that was inherited by nature. A poor magic circuit that seemed to cook through overheating if it was forcibly burned.
I despaired of the miserable reality that my body, not my head, never followed, but I did not give up and continued to unfurl my magic, and as a result, meaningless days that resulted in nothing.
Since I was a child, I had been watching the genius Rubia closest to me, so I was deeply impressed by the power and beauty of magic itself, but I was a person who knew nothing but looked at it like a cake in a painting.
Now is,
“We want to avoid grandiose ideologies. For this reason, the collective name of the Magical Science Association “Thoth” always welcomes promising talents like Ezio-kun. In less than half a year since you dropped out of the academy, I believe in your potential, which has brought you up to the 3rd rank at once. Ezio-kun.”
“… … ”
Zeppelin was an Epic class professor. No one could wear such a nameplate. Judging by the simple hierarchy, there must be something close to the 10th hierarchy. A great man of his age like Tetra Crowley may have a bit of an inferiority complex, but Zeppelin was also a figure close to an archmage with knowledge and skills incomparable to mine.
Such a person is recommending to me.
I believe in your amazing talent, would you like to join my magic circle?
Should I laugh or cry about this?
Ezio Cranil, who used to be pointed at by his classmates at the academy, if he was not even that good, what expression should he make at the fact that he had come all the way here.
Will I be able to be genuinely happy that I have not achieved it with my own hands, but that I am in a position where I have climbed up with the help of someone else?
For various reasons, the concern was long, but the answer was short.
“I am not that great. professor.”
Zeppelin taps the back of his nose for a moment and says.
“… Are you humble?”
“I am just telling the truth.”
“Hmm.”
If you take a look at each and every detail, you can see that I am a really insignificant person. For some reason, most of the people around me who saw me for the first time judged me as an unusual person. You don’t have to live up to their expectations, but you can’t help but worry about them.
“The reason I want to recruit Ezio-kun is because of your great intelligence and understanding, but… … Most importantly, it is.”
“Is that it?”
“Ezio-kun’s bizarre abilities.”
Zeppelin goes on to say:
“And the unique white magic.”
“… … !”
“Can’t I keep my eyes on you, who possesses the same magical powers as Tetra Crowley, the best archmage in the world?”
“… … How did you know?”
“That’s right, there are many ways. When you get to the point, you can see it. what’s in your body And what a great potential it has. … Ezio. I want you to know that it is very difficult and difficult to have an aptitude for all the elements and series that exist in the world. In the language of wizards who like magic and calculations, the simplified formula for calculating common coordinates, which is out of line with a probability of 1 in 10 billion, takes the coordinates of a certain bizarre dimension and casts Blink with those coordinates into a different world that doesn’t exist. It has the same probability of sending it off.”
Zeppelin smiles.
“That means it’s impossible.”
A person who has an aptitude for all elements and all series. If we were to interpret what it meant directly, it was safe to say that he possessed almost all the talents that exist in the world.
If you want to do anything, you can achieve it.
In other words, it can be anything.
That’s what Zeppelin was talking about.
Among the countless possibilities given to me, I was asked if I was interested in the path of magic.
“Do you know why white has the least amount of information?”
I shook my head.
Zeppelin then replies.
“Because it is a color that has only appeared recently and only last. Until then, no one had inherited the Keter attributes.”
“To say Keter… … ”
I’ve seen it in a book.
A member of the early Imperial Frontier Academy and the protagonist who led the First Inma War to victory- One thousand out of ten. Shia Keter.
Come to think of it, it seems that the multi-purpose halls of the Epic Class were also named after them.
“Ezio-kun knows it too.”
Zeppelin nodded and said.
“The ten people who reached the heavens with human bodies are called ten thousand (十天). In some places, it is even an object of worship. In the distant past, he accomplished many feats that even modern people could not recklessly achieve, so that it remains an eternal challenge and mystery… … ”
Zeppelin gave a glimpse of longing eyes.
“The Shia Keter. After the first Archmage, he was an archmage who surpassed Deca and was also a Swordmaster who reached the limit of his swordsmanship. He was also a lieutenant. There was no reason in the world he could not deal with. That is why Keter has long been highly regarded as the greatest hero.”
“However, no one who possesses all pure possibilities, the essence of Keter, has yet appeared.”
“As a prime example, Archmage Tetra Crowley was born with magical potential among the myriad of possibilities Keter had.”
“Actually, it was as if she had chosen the path of magic. Even if you had chosen swordsmanship, you would have been able to achieve Sword Master without difficulty. Instead, it would take a little while to get promoted. It might be more correct to say that as the years passed, the will that Keter left in the world has faded.”
“I mean. Perhaps Ezio-kun will become the first great person to claim to be a descendant of Keter, I dare to think like that.”
“Then I will have the great honor of raising a future hero and great person with my own hands. What if my proposal, which I highly value Ezio-kun, is accepted, and Ezio-kun joins Thoth? Of course, with the amount of rubia.”
Turn around and turn around and recommend again.
“The Rubia student also has the qualities of an Archmage. If it were her, she would most likely be at the top of the star of Akasha by the time twenty years have passed since graduation. Not that I don’t know, I’m half sure. I have never seen such magical talent as a Rubia student. She is a very special student. Ezio. Miss Rubia and Ezio-kun are old friends. There is no other coincidence. I think your meeting is already part of my destiny.”
“… … ”
“You don’t have to worry too much about it. Think of it as having fun and honing your magic with a relaxed mind. Given Ezio-kun’s learning attitude, he doesn’t seem to be particularly interested in magic. Besides, wouldn’t it be more fun to enjoy circle activities with close friends?”
Friend… …
is it. A bitter smile was formed.
“If you change your mind, you can leave at any time. Until then, we promise to provide financial support at any time, both physically and mentally. … I’m proud of this, but “Thoth” is a long-established union circle. The amount of support from Frontier is also different from that of regular circles. The donations from the seniors from “Thoth” are also significant. The regular membership fee is also not expensive, so it is safe to say that there is almost no outside activity fee. There can be no more optimal environment for magic research dreamers.”
Certainly, it was a great condition. One of the things that most young wizards struggle with is money, and if you join Professor Zeppelin’s circle, it’s right to think that those worries will go away.
You can also save money, but can you do whatever research you want? This was a condition worth turning to for anyone who really likes research.
… … But I keep mentioning rubia, it’s kinda like that. If you work together with a close friend, your efficiency may be improved.
“… What was the opinion of Rubia student?”
When I asked that question, Zeppelin gave her a subtle smile as if she felt the conversation flowed in a good way.
“They were very positive.”
But, after a while.
“Actually, I had talked about thinking about it for a few more days a while ago. When I asked the reason personally, um… … ”
Zeppelin stares at me.
It was a strange look.
“I wanted to see and feel a bit more and then decide which circle to join, so I left it to be. I cannot decide the will of a free student on my own.”
“… Then Rubia might not join, right?”
“It could be. From my point of view, if Ezio-kun joins “Tote” and persuades Rubia’s heart instead, I would be able to spend the rest of my term happily. Whoops.”
He smiled at me as if it was a joke, but no matter how much he looked at it, he seemed to be half sincere.
“Anyway, what are you going to do? You don’t have to make a decision right now. Like Rubia student, you can think about it a little more and then tell me.”
“… … ”
To be honest.
I do not know.
I don’t think I’m very talented at magic. No matter how much I fly and crawl, I won’t be able to keep up with Rubia’s level. Zeppelin must think so too.
Maybe it was my special white magic, or my bizarre ability that I didn’t even know about. Most of them will be interested in it and want to personally study and find out. Zeppelin was old and had no intention of hiding it.
Professor Zeppelin’s statement that Rubia and I will be a good match may be right or wrong to some extent, but well… …
I think probably not.
“that… professor. Among the things you told me, there was also a story about Rubia.”
“That’s right. Is there a problem?”
“Well, if it’s a problem, it’s a problem… … ”
I spoke carefully.
“Rubia will probably be able to focus more where I am not. Even to me, Rubia is full of magical talent. That’s why I don’t want to disturb Rubia.”
“… … Are you saying that having Miss Rubia and Ezio-kun together is counterproductive?”
“I think it would be close to that.”
I nodded and said.
“… Thank you for your suggestion, but I will decline. Instead, we will think positively about convincing Rubia.”
“Hmm… … ”
Zeppelin had a shaky expression on her face. Then maybe you read something on my face? He suddenly bows his head.
“… … There may have been parts of your friendship that I did not properly overlook. If you feel any inconvenience, we apologize. Ezio student.”
“it’s okay. It’s not a big deal.”
It really wasn’t a big deal. really.
Around the time I thought things were roughly sorted out.
“But, Ezio-kun.”
“Yes?”
“Would you mind thinking a little more? The greed of not wanting to miss out on excellent talent is irresistible. If you ever have a positive mind, I would like to ask you to play a role in persuading Rubia students instead. If Ezio-kun joins the circle, it seems like it will be an easy flow for Rubia students to follow Ezio-kun.”
“… … ”
Professor Zeppelin… …
The student’s free will and whatnot.
He was a very persistent person.
#4
After a brief greeting.
I open the door to the professor’s lab and come out.
“… … yes?”
— Tak Tak Tak.
Footsteps were heard from afar.
No, is it close?
At the end of the hallway, the urgent footsteps heard from the corner leading to the right soon faded away.
There is no one in the hallway. serene and quiet That’s why the footsteps sounded louder. I listen closely and slowly walk towards the sound.
—Woodangtangtang.
The faint sound of footsteps moving away changed to the sound of a huge fall.
what’s up, what’s going on
Go past the corner of the hallway at a slightly faster pace than before, and turn your head to the side.
“… … what?”
No one was there.
It must have been that someone fell in front of the elevator, but he just got up and knew where he was going.
Then his gaze was focused on one side.
The emergency stair door was open.
“… … ”
What was so urgent?
Thinking that this would also be no big deal, I just waited for the elevator to come down from the upper floor.
