I thought I should properly grasp the past, that is, the actions of my colleagues.
Previously, I was so excited that I passed it over without thinking, but it’s strange to see that Lin’s biography and Lin’s diary came here.
Fortunately, now Lane was in the perfect place to get information. No, it’s probably the best place in the Empire.
＜Delayten＞ Central Library.
The largest library in the Holy Human Empire, it houses 58,422 old books and 274,443 books. This includes several historical books and personal encyclopedias.
Persons with unknown identities do not even have the right to read the data, but in the case of students, it is fully open except for the 0 taboo data room.
“I am looking for these books. Where can I go?”
I went to the library after school.
The first literature and information room of the Central Library was a two-story structure with a very high ceiling, and the height of the bookshelves reached a whopping 3.5 meters.
There were no lighting facilities for fear of fire, but since all facilities were made of keelstone that brilliantly reflects sunlight and moonlight, the library was always as bright as daylight.
“This way.”
The intelligent librarian put on his glasses and skillfully climbed the ladder to find the books he requested.
『The Palace, the Life and Achievements of Keyes.』
『About the fire dragon priestess Friede.』
Looking at the title and thickness of the book, I heard echoes of the past, and a sad smile appeared on my lips without my knowledge.
– Let’s bet. Whose great man will be thicker later?
300 years ago… … There was a time when Friede suddenly said something out of the ordinary. I remember sighing because I was dumbfounded.
– What’s the point of the evaluation that a person who doesn’t know your face is trying to make money? Let’s just pretend Friede won.
Then, Friede covered his mouth and laughed hatefully.
– Oh my, you seem to have no confidence. Were you scared because your opponent was this legendary priestess Friede? Fufufufu!
– okay? Then why don’t you try it?
I was about to raise my eyebrows in a fit of rage, but Lista, who had been training for a hundred downslashes with a rock attached to the massive blade of the extreme satellite sword Surpin, raised her voice.
– Then I’ll bet Rin.
Friede shook his head, saying that the bet would not work if he did that, but Lista’s eyes as she wiped the sweat from her face with a towel were vague for some reason.
– I don’t live long because I’m Paquerio. Keith is the oldest in our party, so he’ll die next to me. But Lin is young.
– … … .
– He’ll live longer than any of us. So, the great man will be the thickest.
When talking about the future, Lista’s usual cheerful mood would disappear and she would smile indescribably sad.
– I hope the day will come when I see Lin’s biography of a great man.
On a hot summer day, the trivial daily life and precious memories of the day when the polar haze rose.
It’s really funny.
Contrary to what Lista said, I was the first to die at the party… … I don’t even need to look at it separately, wouldn’t my great man be the thinnest.
‘Congratulations, Friede. you won Unfortunately, the stake is no longer payable.’
For reference, comparing the great man biography of Friede and Kies, Kies was a little thicker. It could be because it was a book from the empire.
[1114, Establishment of the Imperial Palace.]
Keith seems to have been supported like a saint of the bow, and after getting married, he opened a dojo and produced many disciples.
‘fool. If I had taught him how to drink well, he would have made a lot of money.’
Keith seems to have thought the same.
No, I went further and taught him how to shoot an arrow and how to drink alcohol at the same time. He founded a school called Quzhongsa (醉中射)… … It was literally a way to shoot an arrow while drunk.
‘It’s the end of the world.’
Surprisingly, the power of the school is so great that the two-tier system of archery has collapsed, and three schools, including Chujungsa, dominate the world of imperial archery.
‘Such a thief, a 20-year-old married a young aristocrat and left offspring… … ?’
It seemed that their descendants were inheriting the position of the chief of Chwijungsa from generation to generation. I was relieved to see that he died in the arms of his family after living happily.
Keith’s life was simple. On the other hand, something was strange about Friede. death is uncertain.
After the expedition, it is certain that she led the Republic for a long time as a shrine maiden, going back and forth between the Red Mountains and the red city ＜Shriganakyuse＞, but it is said that she suddenly disappeared in 1168.
[And since he did not appear until 1200, the Republic Witches Association officially announced Friede’s death.]
It was strange that this psycho who liked to be flashy and stand out died a quiet death. Did your personality change as you got older?
“Wouldn’t it be better to look for books on the Republic side?”
Then, feeling the presence, I looked up, and the courtesy librarian put another book on the desk.
“If you have a lot of interest in Lista’s party members, read this too. This is a book I personally recommend.”
Is this the story of Rista?
I don’t need to see that… … .
The moment I belatedly scratched my head and saw the cover of the book, my mind went blank and my pupils shook.
『The Life and Achievements of Tureina, the Ash Shaman, a disciple of Rin and Friede.』
In an instant, in the remnants of the distant past, the face of a girl running through a field of flowers with her light blue hair flying frantically flashed through my mind.
– Sabu, Sabu Rin!
That snot-sized tomboy has become a shrine maiden… … ?
If there are magicians in the Empire, there are witches who control spirits with dragon words in the Republic.
Witches are classified into the ranks of mage, apprentice witch, witch, and archwitch, and the shaman reigned at the top of these positions. There are only two shamans in an era.
‘Did this guy become Friede’s successor?’
What was even more shocking than this rapid rise was the size of the years this guy had lived.
[1094-1413]
does this make sense? How can humans live this long?
Did they even develop a spell of immortality? Even in 1413… … You mean Lane was alive until she was a baby.
My head was spinning and my fingertips were shaking a little. It was at that moment when I was about to hold my breath and turn the book.
dang… … dang… … dang… … .
The sound announcing 06:00 in the evening rang from the clock tower. If it was like usual, I would have ignored it and focused only on the book.
“Ehh.”
I couldn’t help it because I had an appointment with a cheeky junior today.
So, why did you do what Rista did so it didn’t suit you… … i’m bored to death
Cursing his past self, he found the librarian earlier while cleaning the bookshelf using magic.
“Is that book popular?”
“There is none. It’s not like I borrow it every day.”
“Can you take care of me for a minute?”
From noble mtl dot com
First-year students cannot use the loan service. To be exact, it can be used from the second semester.
“I have something to do. I’ll be right back, how can you not?”
The librarian looked at his watch with a little trouble, and after a while nodded reluctantly.
“I cannot keep you for too long. I will only take care of it until a loan applicant appears.”
“Do not worry. It won’t take much.”
Lane waved her hand as if telling her not to worry and turned around.
“Fifteen minutes at most?”
* * *
“Hey, where are you going?”
“You fool! It’s said that the lung-class Confucius and Tsai Hak’s muscle brain stick together!”
Dragon’s Blood Field was a huge dome-shaped stadium located in the northern part of the ＜Deleiten＞ campus site.
A large-scale facility that can accommodate up to 5,000 spectators alone, and most festivals and practical skills tests were held here.
That was the reason Logan chose this place as the location for the Magic War.
“Today, to show everyone the scene where this Logan beats the young master of the Madose family.”
Logan smiled as he loosened his joints gently. Veins and muscles twitched vigorously in the bull’s thick neck.
“But if it’s Logan and the low-level Gongja, it’s obvious without even looking at the victory, so is there any reason to see this?”
“Yes. When are we going to see the young boy from Sedo who lives with his prideful taste get beaten up again?”
“Isn’t it obvious without seeing the win or loss? Then do you want to bet? I bet 3 silver coins on Prince Lane.”
“Are you crazy?”
“You’ll see who’s crazy.”
Unusually, the faces of not only students but also professors were seen everywhere in the stands. Caroline and Owen were representative.
“Who are you cheering for, Professor Owen? Are you also from the same school as Logan? Or Lane, the homeroom teacher?”
“It doesn’t matter if you have regional ties, blood ties, or school ties. I’m here to cheer for a f*cking strong guy.”
“hehehe, I’m sorry.”
Finally, in the center of the Dragon Blood Field, Professor Theon started the protocol.
“This magic battle is officially recognized by the school and proceeds at the school level so that the conditions set by both sides must be fulfilled depending on the outcome of the match.”
Professor Theon, who is in charge of the referee for this magic battle, is a middle-aged man who always has a cold impression and doesn’t talk much.
“Two-sided pendulum, forward.”
It was Logan who walked out first. The cape of the school uniform was loosely draped over both shoulders, and when I took it off, exclamations flowed from the audience.
This is because the body wriggling in a healthy way with bulging muscles was almost naked.
The upper body was covered in rough bandages, and the lower body was covered with poorly woven leather pants.
“Wow, you came out properly prepared.”
“Isn’t that a little too much for a low-class Confucius?”
“Well, that’s how Logan barely rubs it.”
And the magic square engraved intricately like a tattoo all over his body. Wing type wizards enhance their physical abilities by activating those magic circles depending on the situation.
“You’re here too, ma’am.”
An off-the-beaten-path corner.
When Gertrude Panton chuckled, Christa, who was wearing a bizarre disguise, shuddered and cleared her throat, clearing her voice.
“I didn’t come here because I was worried. I came to see that bastard get beaten up.”
“Yes, yes, you would.”
“Is it okay if I mess around one more time?”
Across the crowd, Professor Caroline narrowed her eyes and patted her chin.
‘Ging-type wizards are beings that are said to be the natural enemies of apprentice wizards… … .’
Apprentice wizards who are still inexperienced have no choice but to have a slow casting time.
Ging wizards, who did not even give them a chance to use their magic and went into close combat, were menacing opponents.
‘How am I going to deal with that?’
And finally… … The moment Lane walked out, there was a very brief but strange silence. Then a loud burst of laughter broke out.
“What is that!”
“You’re not kidding, are you?”
What Reign brought up to fight Logan was… … It was a broom. It’s not a broom with some shamanic device like witches use, it’s just a broom.
The cadets from the ＜Ribarden＞ Magic School couldn’t help but shake their heads, but it must have been a more bizarre situation for the professor in charge of refereeing.
Professor Theon, who had been staring blankly at it, gestured as if asking for an explanation.
“Oh, is this? I borrowed it from the library for a while. I just finished cleaning, so that’s good.”
“That… … You want to use it in a magic war?”
“Can’t you write?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
The other students laughed even more, and Christa’s and Gertrude’s eyes darkened. Logan also laughed and put a hand on his waist arrogantly.
“What, is this a sign asking you to take a look? You bluff like that? It’s done, Gongja. Just don’t look sick and abstain.”
obvious contempt.
Then, Lane scratched her head with a sigh.
“Ha, ever since I came to college. As a senior, what is so deplorable?”
“senior?”
“Why are these days so tongue-in-cheek? Wizards aren’t witches who can memorize words, since when did they become a kind of people who speak with their mouths?”
what… … When Logan tried to get angry, Professor Theon immediately intervened and pushed the two apart.
“Are both sides aware of each other’s terms?”
When Logan is defeated, Logan becomes the champion of the local development magic club until graduation. When Lane is defeated, Lane withdraws from ＜Delayten＞.
“yes.”
“Will you not disobey the judgment?”
“yes.”
Professor Theon nodded, took a step back, and spread a barrier around the midpoint between the two.
“Then start after a 10-second pause.”

＜Deleiten＞ Professor’s office.
Elin Ludwig’s assistant, who was checking the students’ assignments while organizing school affairs, asked curiously.
“Professor, can I not go see you? I’ll index everything and organize it, so you can go.”
“What are you going to do? nothing to see To play around after letting me go, this just sucks.”
“Oh no! What do you see me as!”
While the spring breeze blew through the wide open window and gently stirred Elin’s black hair, she closed her eyes and smiled.
– Oppa, Rain might be the sage’s vessel!
joy… … If his talent was so great that his obstinate father and brother reconciled, why would he need to see it?
“You don’t have to look. The outcome was predetermined from the beginning.”
