Chapter 75 – Undine hates the world
The original purpose of finding Undine has long been forgotten.
If you think about it, things like underwear and gossiping were issues that were in my line of duty, but they ended up taking a backseat before I knew it. Could it be said to be some kind of occupational disease? For now, I was just trying to make Cecilia understand the knowledge I had in my head.
Cecilia is a student who is at least as talkative as she is excellent at concentration and comprehension. She has been the same ever since I taught her from her innocence in the fox tribe’s village. She believes there is nothing more rewarding than teaching.
Unintentionally, I was able to create a plausible sealing spell in a short period of time.
“…… “It is complete.”
“Okay, let’s prove our integrity before casting.”
“I will cast it.”
Creating new magic is, of course, a very difficult task, but the task of modifying existing magic that has been completed and released on the market is also difficult.
Especially when dealing with magic that has been created or modified for the first time, no matter how confident a magician is in his or her skills, he or she should not pour out magic power carelessly. An unproven margin is like a surprise box that might contain a bomb. This is the most obvious reason why margin integrity testing is necessary.
If you do not intentionally pour in magic power during the casting stage that leads to the central margin, auxiliary team, and structural techniques, it is called a fake casting or integrity test. Unless you are using it for water fighting in actual combat, you should only test magic like now. In most cases, it does.
“What do you think? “Can you try casting?”
“… “I think it’s possible.”
“Slowly. All you have to do is fix the magic power. “It would be a big problem if you put in your magic as a habit and end up with a runaway margin.”
“Yes.”
Cecilia carefully spread her margins. I was worried that she might reflexively use her magic, but it seems my worries were unfounded and Cecilia began casting flexibly.
After checking her results, I smiled and praised her.
“That’s it…. A useful sealing magic has emerged. I think it would be okay to sell it on the market. The copyright for nuclear power plant magic has expired anyway. The transformation magic is yours. I especially liked the part where the assistants were overlapped and changed into a single assistant. Because of this, the power is amplified tremendously, the flow of magic power becomes smooth, and magic efficiency is good. The problem is that it is an installation type. Casting takes too long. No matter how much you stock, there are too many conditions. “It is difficult to strike immediately, so it would be better to dig it in advance like a trap.”
“Thanks to you, teacher. “I couldn’t have made it this far on my own.”
“Okay, now we’re going to catch bad criminals with this, right? hehehehe, he’s my student after all.”
“…… Criminal?”
Cecilia perked her ears and tilted her head, then nodded her head and smiled.
“Yes, that’s right. But I’m looking a little higher.”
“Really? What? Unless it’s a police officer… Letter?”
“No, this is a story about how this magic is used.”
“Um… It’s not for catching bad people. “Is there anyone you have a grudge against?”
“…… No, but I need to trap and seal away someone who is stronger than me.”
“Well, no matter how strong he is, if he falls victim to this magic when he is careless… “
“You won’t be able to move. It doesn’t hurt. “That’s what I wanted.”
“Right… long… But… “
I guess it’s because of my mood that I feel like I’m focusing on strange parts from earlier.
I suddenly felt anxious and asked a small question.
“Are you using it for good?”
“Yes, I plan to use it for good purposes. The teacher will feel better too.”
“hahahaha… “Why on earth do I feel good?”
Why do I suddenly break into a cold sweat?
Cecilia smiled comfortably and turned her head.
“And the undine you are looking for will probably come here.”
“Uh… ? Suddenly? … Ah! That’s right, it’s an undine! “I came here to look for Undine!”
“At first, you’ll just be wandering around here and there. You may have already returned to Middle Garden, the lake, or the dormitory. At first, you will start to spread misunderstandings on your own and fall into the abyss. “He has a lot of imagination and he likes the teacher a lot, so I expect his thoughts will go in a negative direction.”
“I can imagine doing that alone. But is it really true that no one came to visit?”
“Yes, I have never seen anyone make friends other than me. “Because you are a very independent person.”
“Still, he’s a good kid.”
“Of course. Nice. “You are my one and only friend.”
“Friend….”
The moment the word ‘friend’ came out of Cecilia’s mouth, I had no choice but to ask something that suddenly occurred to me.
“…… Have you ever met the princess?”
“Are you talking about the princess?”
“Oh, I heard you and I know each other.”
“………… Oh, yes, that’s right. But today, you came back from Hwangseong, and all I saw was the first time I saw you in class.”
Cecilia spoke, rarely stuttering her words.
“Professor Aegis said that the memories of what happened when you were small will remain.”
“Yes. “I remember it.”
Then you must have heard everything.
“… Well, you can figure it out, but if the princess is uncomfortable, she sticks with Undine. “Not even the princess will go near Undine.”
“Are we treating undines like germs?”
“It would be more accurate to say that the Undines view the royal family as germs.”
I shrugged my shoulders and briefly added, “Please take care of Cecilia, too, so that the two of you don’t run into each other.”
Cecilia answered in a calm tone.
“The princess is not uncomfortable. Rather, he is my benefactor. …… But I didn’t know that was how I felt… “I was just a little embarrassed.”
“Still… He may be a bit inflexible, but his mentality is upright. “It’s been like that for a long time.”
“… “Did you know the princess from the beginning?”
“I got to know the people of the Hwang family when I was very young because of my parents’ close relationship. The crown prince is older than me, and the princess is a couple of years younger than me. I’m talking about when we were just playing house…. “I can count on one hand the number of times I met him when I grew up.”
“I just thought she went to the imperial castle according to the imperial order.”
“I didn’t expect you to come to class. Actually… The case of the 6th Holy Sword was in vain, and teaching Anastasia became meaningless when the 6th Holy Sword was transferred to Hwangmyeong…. Perhaps the conversation happened again while I was away. “I guess this is something I’ll have to ask the chairman about later.”
There is no reason for the princess, Anastasia, to barge into first-year classes.
At least learning is not the goal. It might have been appropriate to see Cecilia, but I didn’t think Anastasia was a great person who would abandon public affairs for personal feelings.
“… “But what kind of person were you once upon a time?”
Then suddenly Cecilia asked that question.
I paused in response to the sudden question and was unable to come up with an answer.
“The first time I met you was when you came to the fox tribe village alone. “She was already acquainted with her mother.”
“… Ariel, who raised you…… “Your mother was also an acquaintance of my parents.”
“When I first saw the teacher, I was still a child. In my view, the teacher… He was really kind to me, but he was also a bit blunt and always frowned and had a nervous side. “The way he spoke was also sharp.”
“……… …..”
“If you look side by side with the teacher working at the academy now and the teacher back then, it would be difficult to think of them as the same person.”
“……… ….”
“I think there was a good reason why he erased my memory when he left the village. My mom probably had the same opinion…. “It’s really, really sad, but now that I have regained my memory and have clear memories of you, I don’t blame you.”
Cecilia, who spoke calmly, added softly.
“Just a little bit…” “
…… You’re not complaining, right?
“I want to know your past, teacher.”
“Cecilia, that’s… I mean… “
“But I will endure it.”
“…… Uh?”
“I want to always remain as Cecilia, a good child to my teacher. “I’m curious, but I’ll wait until you tell me first.”
“………… Thank you.”
I could barely reply.
“But if it’s too late, I’ll ask Undine first.”
“Okay. “It won’t be too late.”
“Thank you.”
“But… It looks like you’ve become very friendly with Undine. “I think she used to use the word ‘nim’ to refer to herself as an honorific title.”
“Time passes even where the teacher is not looking.”
Cecilia smiled softly and said.

She sits on the bed, wagging her tail, and looks out her window.
“But the same goes for teachers.”
Although she was only half-joking, it appears she was unfounded when she said she ruined Cecilia. I don’t know if I may have grown up in a place I don’t know.
“Even if it is no longer the past, I think it would be nice if my role in the teacher’s day to day future increases.”
Cecilia’s ears perked up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the quiet hallway started ringing and the door slammed! And it opened.
“Fire! Did you know that?! I stopped by your lab today! Well! I found something strange there………………… Uh…… Teacher? This place…… Cecilia’s room…… Why…… Here………… To… ?”
