The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter chapter 235

235 – Vacation Ceremony Again

“I feel strange.”

It is the day before school holidays.

In the corner of the hydrangea garden, I finished the last education of the semester with White.

After explaining the assignments to be completed during the vacation, we sat on rock chairs and chatted while looking at the lake.

“Thanks to senior Isaac, I became noticeably stronger. Wasn’t this the same as being taught by the archmage? It was an opportunity that I couldn’t get even if I paid a thousand dollars… !”

“I wanted to make it master at least 4 stars.”

“Ah, it was… . It was that pest… .”

White suddenly became depressed.

“No, not even a bug… . I’m sorry for being an ugly disciple… .”

“I don’t mean that.”

I meant sorry for not being able to teach you better.

He stroked his white hair and smiled.

“Thank you for following along. great job.”

Every time he stroked his hair, White’s sad expression slowly loosened. White felt secure in my touch.

“Senior Isaac, will you still be staying at the academy?”

“I’m thinking of doing that, but maybe I’ll go out for a while to get some fresh air.”

I have to go to Dupendorf and hold the coronation ceremony, and I have to visit the Duchy of White Clark for the Wonwang meeting.

At the academy, it was planned to receive special training with the help of Gormos.

Also, if Commander Kalgart had already been resurrected, I was thinking of going to subdue him during vacation. Although the mysterious Cheshire sent for the purpose of information gathering has not yet returned.

The destination, Baron Lopenheim, was so far away that even my [Clairvoyance] couldn’t reach it. Even if the [Clair Eye] had reached it, it would have been difficult to find the mysterious cat.

I was worried about the strange cat, but Alice told me to relax, saying that she felt there was nothing wrong with the strange cat.

“Then, senior Isaac, please stop by Byance when you have time.”

Byans was the capital of the Gerber Empire.

“Even after graduation, it doesn’t matter. I will treat you with utmost respect.”

“Thank you, I will think about it. And the clock thing… It’s a pity.”

“it’s okay. Because it’s nothing new… .”

I have already explained the story of the pocket watch to White.

The pocket watch was retrieved from the imperial family, and was being closely investigated at the imperial magic tower.

At first, White was shocked to hear my story.

I didn’t know that what I thought was the only decent gift from my mother, who had attempted to assassinate her until she died, was actually the most dangerous thing, and it was a way to convert.

He seemed lethargic for a few days, but since there was already a precedent, he seemed to quickly accept the truth.

“I was a fool to have been beaten again by someone who was already dead… . Now I just want to live hard.”

White, who let go of the past, gave me a small fist with a grin.

“After coming to the academy, I received a lot of grace. Thank you, Sir Isaac. I will miss you during vacation.”

“you also. I struggled for one semester. I will miss you too.”

I fist-fisted White.

… …

“From now on, we will hold the Marchen Academy vacation ceremony.”

The last day of the first semester of the second year. The midday sky was blue and clear. All students gathered at Academy Square and the vacation ceremony began.

The resignation ceremony for the student body president was also held. It was because when he was elected as the student council president of Marchen Academy, he would perform his duties for three semesters and then lay down his position.

On stage, Alice Carroll gave her exit speech. It was an okay content, nothing special. When Alice greeted her at the end of her speech, the students applauded.

The retirement ceremony was only held during the vacation ceremony according to custom, and Alice had to carry out the position of student council president until this vacation.

However, Alice told me that it was not a burden because I only had to do very partial work as a finishing step.

When the next semester begins, a new student council president election will be held. The movement of the 4 Constellations, the student group already involved in academic administration, was unusual.

The vacation ceremony ended and the gates of the academy were completely opened. Many students went to the continent by carriage, and I stayed at the academy.

The magnificent imperial carriage led by the guards arrived in front of the school gate. I saw off Snow White and Merlin.

When I asked Merlin if it was okay to leave without seeing her sister, she replied that it didn’t matter because she was here to fulfill her duties as an escort driver.

“Senior Isaac, I’ll be back! See you later!”

When I exchanged greetings with White, the imperial guards greeted me politely.

He didn’t care much because he seemed like the imperial family’s doctor who wanted to be friendly.

I also spotted Tristan Humphrey passing through the school gates. Even though he saw me, he pretended not to see me and climbed into the Humphrey family carriage.

After that, I spent time with Kaya.

I became very timid, perhaps because Akshik had no personality, but the way he contemplated whether or not to kiss my cheek was quite cute. He patted her on the shoulder and sent her off.

And while walking around the campus thinking about sucking honey in an empty training ground.

“hey.”

“… … ?”

I stopped when a female student started talking to me.

Blue short hair that falls like a wave. A petite physique.

Ranked 3rd among my classmates in the Faculty of Magic. It was Ciel Carnedas.

Seeing that she was wearing plain clothes, it seemed that she was about to leave the academy as well. The half-open sleepy eyes were just there, so it felt like they were open.

Laughter flowed out of my heart. It was because Ciel was also the official heroine of ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, so I felt affection for him.

“It’s been a while, Ciel. What can I do? Are you sad that you lost third place to me?”

“It’s going to end in bloodshed as soon as you see it.”

“You said you were taking Ian?”

“Looks like you picked it up.”

Now is the time for Ian to go get the light attribute legendary weapon, the Spear Sword, with Ciel’s help.

Ciel should have offered Ian a special training environment and instead asked for an opportunity to study divine power. We will talk about how to do research.

Ian must have readily accepted Ciel’s proposal in order to build a friendly relationship with the Carnedas family and to become stronger.

To Ian, who trains while living in the Carnedas family mansion, Ciel will deliver a promise that has been handed down from generation to generation in the family.

After persuading Ian by showing a token of promise, he would take him to the heavenly world where the window sword was located.

Fortunately, the ordeal to obtain the spear sword was not an ordinary battle, but a mental battle, so there was no worry.

‘Because Ian’s mental strength is exactly what I know.’

In a part that has nothing to do with the control of dead people, Ian was the main character I know, Ian Fairytail. I’ll do well.

Ciel continued with his usual calm and emotionless tone.

“Well, you have nothing to do with Ian Fairytail. There is something I want to say more than that.”

“What?”

“Trade secrets. I knew it well.”

It was the story of the end-of-semester evaluation of the first semester of the first year last year. I remembered mentioning a trade secret when I was looking for a Pel card that was difficult to detect mana.

I forgot. Suddenly, the memory of that time came back to me like a memory, and a smile escaped my lips.

“therefore?”

“The Carnedas family welcomes you. Other families will do the same, and they will try to bite and suck everything in order to impress you. Poor, useless girls will try to marry you off, and Dupendorf will be showered with all sorts of diplomatic gifts. It means the world will revolve around you.”

Ciel shrugged his shoulders and chanted gracefully in an emotionless voice.

“That will increase the number of forces opposing you. Because there are still many hidden strongmen in this world. Unnecessarily full of challenging spirits, the dangranggocheol of unmanned people. Brave and ignorant guys who only look at your reputation and try to make a huge profit by stabbing you in the back. Whoops, even if it weren’t for me, I wouldn’t be able to avoid bloodshed. Even if you are filthy strong alone, you may not be able to prevent the damage. But… What if information sources for you flood the kingdom?”

prepare in advance

I still wasn’t strong in normal times, not during battle. This means that it is not possible to detect and prepare for risks in advance at any time.

“Tell me the main point. You want to trade? Let your family play that role.”

“answer.”

Ciel pointed at me with his index finger and affirmed.

“My family is famous for that. Thanks to that, I also have the weaknesses of many families. You will have no regrets.”

“What do you want to ask of me?”

“The rear of the Carnedas family.”

It’s easy to understand.

Ciel wants to graduate safely under my protection, and also wants to take care of the family’s interests.

It was not a losing trade either way.

“I’ll think about it slowly.”

“I hope you give me a positive answer.”

As I passed Ciel, I thought of something to say and stopped walking.

“Oh, Ciel.”

“Why?”

“Ian and Amy, please don’t get hurt.”

I could feel Ciel’s gaze over the back of my head.

As if she had finally noticed the doubt, her voice was wary.

“you… , Did you know?”

“Okay.”

“… … .”

Just like that, I left for the training ground.

* * *

The Carnedas family’s carriage picked up Ciel, Ian, and Amy. During the vacation, Ian was burning with enthusiasm, imagining a future where he would become stronger with the help of the Carnedas family.

Amy thought Ian was so cute that even while smiling, she cared about Ciel.

It was because Ciel covered his mouth with his hand and gently lowered his head, immersed in thought. Amy agonized over whether or not to talk to Ciel, but decided not to disturb him and kept quiet.

‘Where did the information leak from?’

Ciel recalled his conversation with Isaac.

─ ‘Ian and Amy, please take care not to get hurt.’

─ ‘You… , did you know?’

─ ‘Okay.’

Isaac seemed aware of the hidden secret and promise passed down from generation to generation in the Carnedas family.

If you find the child of light right away, promise to bring it to the heavenly world.

An archmage is a person who performs incomprehensible powers.

Did Isaac already see through to that promise in an untouchable state?

‘No, maybe… .’

He didn’t even know that it was Isaac’s will to take Ian to the heavenly world.

I don’t think anything dangerous will happen there.

If a danger element strikes, Ciel is determined to protect Ian.

In the end, it was Ciel’s decision to take Ian to the heavenly world according to the family’s promise. Not being responsible for Ian’s safety from start to finish only made me feel uneasy.

Even more so if protecting Ian is Isaac’s will to protect this world.

Ciel intended to safely graduate from Märchen Academy and live a happy life within the bounds of Isaac’s protection.

Thinking only of such secular goals, Ciel finished his thoughts.

“… Time for a nap.”

Ciel muttered while looking at his watch. Sleepiness was coming. Taking a nap at a set time every day was a big deal for Ciel.

Ciel took out a pillow that would make anyone faint from his magic pouch and laid it on his head. It was revealed that the Carnedas family’s carriage seat was specially designed to be as wide as a bed.

“you. I need to sleep, so refrain from chatting from now on.”

“Sleeping here… ?”

Ciel quickly fell asleep.

Ian and Amy were taken aback when they saw Ciel soundly asleep in the rattling carriage.
