“Hot, a new member? hmm… … ?”
Logan’s eyes narrowed for an instant as he tilted his head conceitedly as if it were absurd.
‘Christa Warden… … .’
It was because of the genius girl who walked in behind the boy. It was because of the existence equal to the achievements of the late exponents of the Eight Great Schools.
‘then… … .’
Red eyes in black hair.
Aha, this guy must be the son of the proud Ludwig family. A sneer formed on Logan’s lips.
“Oh, someone said it, but who was it? closed class… … Oops, mistake! sorry. I have a habit of letting my thoughts come out of my mouth.”
Anyone could see that it was not a slip of the tongue, but a part of a war of nerves. Logan laughed nonchalantly and pretended to be polite.
“As a disciple of the Eight Great Schools, I was thinking of visiting and greeting the noble Confucius in person, but it turned out well. But it’s a magic war, did I hear it wrong?”
As Logan’s giant strode forward and stood in front of Lane, a daunting shadow fell.
Logan’s physique was a head and a half taller than most of his peers, to the point where he looked down on even Lane, who was above average in height, as if to overwhelm him.
“You heard me right. I want to stick with you like that, but I want to deal with you once.”
“Ha ha ha! So you’re confident enough to easily beat this Logan, is that so?”
There was still a sneer on Logan’s mouth, but the smile in his eyes had long since disappeared.
“Should I give you a handicap if you don’t have confidence? Hmm, should I not use any combat magic?”
“Rain, you are sane… … ?”
“This will work. I will only use magic developed by this club. Use only three spells. how is it?”
“Are you serious?”
“I don’t think I will lose even if I do that.”
Logan blinked his eyes as if it were absurd, then grabbed his stomach and burst into laughter.
“This isn’t trash, it’s completely… … Oh, I’m sorry. Confucius. great. But did you know that it takes three days to enter?”
“?”
“That’s why I’m saying that this can only be accomplished through individual versus individual magic battles.”
“Just tell me the point.”
“If Confucius wins, good. I will give up this club. Not only that, but when other guys come to fight, I will kick them out instead.”
Christa’s eyes narrowed. To offer strangely good conditions means that there must be a price to pay for them.
“But if I win, hmm, Gongja-nim, give me a letter of resignation from this Deliten. As for the reason for dropping out, I felt a wall after watching Tsaihak’s Logan, to this extent?”
This was an absurd condition. So Christa took a step forward.
Magical talent is not the only thing that is essential to the offspring of the Madose family. Education is also important. Here, Lane is the rightful heir to the Ludwig family.
If such a person resigns from ＜Delayten＞, of course, the prestige of the family will fall to the ground, and even if he inherits later, there is a possibility that he will not be recognized by other Sega or subordinate families.
“Are you kidding me? You’re giving up at least one club—”
“—It’s okay, Christa.”
“You don’t know what the situation is?”
“Do you need to know what’s going on? I’m going to win anyway.”
At that time, the phosphorescence shining in Rain’s eyes was somehow terrifyingly cold… … Christa kept her mouth shut.
“Don’t run away. You can set the date and time as you like.”
“Ha ha ha! That was what I was trying to say. I will recruit the professor who will referee. Without delay, let’s meet at the dragon pit right away at 6:00 tonight.”
Then Logan made a sloppy, aristocratic bow, as if teasing Lane, and walked past them and out the door.
‘This is a really big fish.’
To bring the eldest son of the Sedo family to the seat of the Magic War, and also to Rain Ludwig, who was rumored to be a degraded prince.
‘Still, it is an undeniable fact that I am a descendant of Sega.’
Traditionally, the descendants of Sega did not participate in the magic battle unless it was really openly blaspheming the family.
Because they have more to lose than to gain.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile to blaspheme the Madose family by saying they’ll have a magic battle. Even if you are expelled, you have nothing to say. The president of this school is Madose.
But this… … came out first from there.
‘I’m sure the dean and the elders will be extremely praised?’
If you defeat the other Sega descendants who rush to take revenge like this, you might be able to aim for the next dean’s position.
“Is it really a great day?”
Meanwhile, Christa, who was left behind in the club room, broke the silence with a sigh and pressed her temples.
“Yes, you… … It’s a magic battle, are you aware of your location?”
“＜Deleiten＞ 1st year?”
“Don’t play around.”
“I’m serious. What is it, then?”
“You are from the same family as me. Does it make sense that we don’t know where we are?”
Krista let out a sigh, but when the boy looked at the research books on the club’s bookshelf without a reply, he became angry.
“Oh yeah. do whatever you want. It’s your fault for worrying seriously.”
As Christa shook her head and walked away, the boy had to tilt his head as he didn’t know why.
“Why are you angry about that? what did i do?”
“You did something that is incomprehensible to common sense.”
At that time, the one who opened his mouth was a small-sized boy who was picking up glasses that had fallen on the floor.
The seal engraved on the student’s ring was not a ‘sleeping dragon’, but a ‘dragon with wings spread’. I’d say it’s a sophomore year.
“The descendants of Sega never appear in the Great War of Magic.”
“why?”
“There’s not much to gain, but there’s a lot to lose, isn’t it?”
When the status is not the same, that is, in the case of commoners, it was common to use honorifics to nobles even if they were seniors.
Out of courtesy, there were aristocrats who used respectful words for commoner seniors, but they were very few.
“That’s why I am more wary than grateful. why… … did you help? Because I don’t know why.”
why did you help me… … .
Unlike Lista, it was a more difficult question than most math problems for Lane, who was not around in this way at all.
“I didn’t really help. It just reminded me of homework I forgot.”
“Homework? What to Gongja… … .”
“I thought the homework would be completed much faster and easier if I stayed here. I was only acting in my interests, so don’t worry about it.”
Lista might have said, “Do you need a reason to help people?” smiling broadly
I don’t know how to laugh like that I don’t even know how to say that. It’s not like I’m laughing and talking like that.
So, just live as a calculating person like before.
“I’m grateful, but I think Gongja-nim is underestimating Logan’s skills too much… … .”
“How are you?”
“Logan is a Ging type wizard. As you know, the compatibility with ordinary wizards is extremely good.”
I heard from Joen, the head of the club, that Logan was so outstanding not only in his magic skills, but also in his physical abilities, that he went to study abroad as one of the Six Great Gates of the Republic and learned martial arts.
“So, from what I hear, the win rate in magic battles with other schools is over 90%… … .”
Joen leaned against the wall and let out a hollow laugh out of embarrassment.
“You did such a reckless thing against a guy like that. I’m not worth helping. I just said something strange… … .”
“… … ?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I said something grandiose to Logan earlier, but it’s actually not such a grandiose club. I just grew up in the countryside. The villagers pooled their money to pay for college.”
After graduating, Joen said that he had joined this club to study magic in order to return to his hometown.
“Just for personal reasons… … Are you pathetic? I’m sorry, Gongja. I will just leave this magic battle.”
Joen touched the broken glasses with a wry smile mingled with tears.
The chances of winning are zero.
But wouldn’t that be a win rate applied more harshly to Lane, who is called a degraded contributor? The club will end anyway, there is no need to cause trouble.
“It’s strange, why is that pathetic?”
Then, suddenly, that voice resonated in my chest like a ripple spreading across a lake.
“Do you know why Rin started magic?”
“Are you Archmage Rin? that… … He said he liked magic since he was little.”
“No, at first I just wanted to live. I barely managed to sleep like a human and eat like a human, so I don’t want to be abandoned. like a stickler I came to like it a little later.”
For some reason, Lane’s voice as she rummaged through the bookshelves with an indifferent expression was deeply pensive, as if recalling a distant memory.
“yes… … ? I haven’t seen a book with such a behind-the-scenes story.”
“I studied like that, but at some point I followed Lista and at some point I became a great wizard.”
Lane, who had been opening a book, closed it and looked back at Joen with a smile.
“Is there even a law saying that seniors can’t do that? It’s not.”
“… … ?!”
“Let me borrow some of these books. You’ll have to get used to it if you want to use it in a magic battle.”
Even after Lane picked out some books from the bookshelf and left, Joen was still unable to stand up, staring blankly at the door he had exited.
My heart was beating quietly.
Quietly, his whole body was trembling.
What is this feeling? Rather than talking to an unfamiliar junior, it was as if he received advice from a great senior who did not dare to recognize that level… … .
* * *
“lane!”
At the sound of his teeth grinding, Lane felt a visceral fear and stopped. When I glanced back, as expected… … .
“Auntie, how have you been?”
It was Elin Ludwig.
A beauty with a sharp cat figure and a rogue outfit.
She was a professor at ＜Delayten＞, with long black hair and red eyes, exactly the same as Lane Ludwig.
“Would you say hello if you were like me? aaang?”
He wraps his arm around his neck, pulls it tight, and slams his fist into the top of his head with the other hand.
“Fight against the Eight Colleges… … No, it’s a magic war? huh? Rumors spread all over the school, did I just hear something false?”
“Surprisingly real.”
“Oh yeah? Because I really can’t help it. Since my cute nephew has made a big deal out of it, shall we have a fun daytime drink today?”
“Ah, ah, it hurts! It really hurts!”
“If you stick with Logan, it will hurt several times more than this, what a shame. you idiot!”
Elin let go of Lane at that time and sighed that the ground would disappear. Lane asked as she touched the bump on the top of her head.
“Are you here because you’re worried?”
“worry? Who was worried! Do I look like a pitiful aunt who would have been worried about a degraded public like you, asked the kids where she went, and waited for a seat? Illusion is also a fraction of a reason, you degraded nephew!”
Aunt.
You’ve been looking for me a lot.
As Elin turned around and was about to leave with an angry gait, Lane said.
“I’m sorry, aunt. I don’t know if this is something I shouldn’t do. I will not disgrace the family.”
Then Elin’s steps, which were about to turn the corner, stopped for a moment.
“Well, okay. I was just about to get a little annoyed with the authors who called you a degraded Confucius. It’s very yo~ but.”
“… … .”
“You’ve already done it, make it clear. Don’t let other guys even think of climbing for the rest of their lives. Because the name of the Ludwig family is hanging on your back.”
Heh, Elin Ludwig snorted as if he wanted everyone to hear, then disappeared from sight.
It’s the name of the Ludwig family… … .
He said he wasn’t honest, but he came because he was worried about his family. I have to make sure that I don’t have to disappoint you and be cursed at for the rest of my life.
