68 – I will scold you
The day to discuss the sword with Mayer.
Evan went to Meyer’s tile-roofed house.
Mayer was squatting by the pond and feeding the carp.
Splash, splash!
On the surface of the water, many carp stick out their faces and eat small pieces of food.
Even though Meyer sensed Evan’s popularity, she spoke without looking back at him.
“Evan, do you like carp?”
“…… “I had no interest in pets.”
Evan had never had a pet.
I’ve raised chickens and pigs to eat them, but I don’t think that’s what Mayer’s carp is for.
Evan stood where he could see the pond.
“Carp are very smart. When it’s time to feed them, they come flock to me. They are not afraid of me. “I know I feed them and don’t harm them.”
“Are you saying the carp remembered you, Professor?”
“Yes. So I can be friends with them.”
The carp remembered Mayer.
In other words, if the carp don’t remember Mayer, they can’t be friends.
Mayer’s words sounded like this to Evan.
“If I forget my sword, I won’t be a swordsman.”
“……….”
The debate has already begun.
Evan gradually calmed down as he listened to Mayer’s words.
In the swamp of thoughts.
Tak, thak. Mayer shook off his hand that had food on it.
“I like mountains and forests. The forest is filled with the smell of water and fresh wood in the early morning. “These are healthy scents.”
“I also like mountains.”
“Good. But what can I say… I would say I’m a little more obsessed. When was it, when did you face the dragon? For some reason, I was thinking of a forest. Even though the dragon is right in front of me, I want to go back to the forest. “I thought.”
This is Mayer’s story.
It was called a sword discussion, but now is a time to get to know each other.
What do each other’s swords contain?
About each other’s mental world.
Mayer continues.
“At one point, I was creating the forest I wanted with a sword.”
A world of images that embodies nature.
Mayer was clearly saying that.
It is not the type that necessarily kills the opponent, but a type of swordsmanship that deceives the opponent.
Evan learned about Mayer’s swordsmanship.
“What kind of sword is Evan thinking of?”
Mayer thought that Evan had not yet opened the world of images, so he said this.
Evan thought.
Not the sword of Gaebyeok, but the world of your own imagination.
“…… I was immature. I thought I had no talent with a sword. So, I just collected the moments when I held the sword.”
This is the power that Evan will embody in the not-too-distant future.
This is a collection of memories of Evan holding the sword.
I think it will get better if I do that.
Mayer stood up, grinning, holding the feeder.
“hehehe, I think it’s a good idea?”
“It is my greed.”
“Is that so? “If Evan implements it later, can I see it?”
“…… “That’s what I was hoping for, but we should also see the professor’s forest.”
Otherwise, Mayer will die.
Mayer read a faint hint of speculation in Evan’s voice.
That felt very pleasant to Mayer.
“Ahahahahaha! “It’s a forest no one has seen in 10 years, but of course.”

Cynthia walked to her professor’s research wing.
She has been living a busy life lately.
It’s her final exam preparation period, so she’s preparing for her practice exam and refining the Winter Queen’s Sword 6 star.
I have not yet fully mastered the 6-star Sword of the Winter Queen.
‘Still… ….’
If I go back to my parents’ house this vacation, wouldn’t my listless father be happy?
She is the one who so desperately wanted to reach the 8th star.
If her daughter makes her own dreams come true, she will be proud.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘…… ‘Evan.’
When I think of the Winter Queen’s sword, the same boy comes to mind.
Cynthia’s heart ached.
As if something about her was scarring his soul.
The boy who showed her the Winter Queen’s sword recently got a fiancé.
From what Hecate found out, he was the Marquis Yashur and her lover.
For some reason, Cynthia was distressed by that fact.
“Ha… ….”
It must be a simple priestly relationship with Evan… It’s difficult to breathe.
Palak
The stack of documents is crushed.
Textbook and test questions.
Did she relax her arms for a moment?
Cynthia hurriedly held her documents back in her arms and took a deep breath, her heart aching.
“…… Ha.”
I am out of breath.
If you glance at the sky, there are dark clouds.
‘Let’s come to our senses.’
Cynthia narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and walked again.
And she found it.
Evan walks to the main gate of the academy to pick up Maya.
Cynthia felt pain in her heart again.
Even though she didn’t want to think about it, she saw him in front of her.
Evan, who has good senses, also discovered Cynthia.
Cynthia has been training hard recently.
Evan didn’t feel bad about her.
Evan bows to Cynthia.
Cynthia spoke with difficulty.
If you don’t say anything, he will just leave.
“…… Are you going to the gravity room?”
“I’ll be there in a moment.”
Evan answers calmly.
As Cynthia watched him get closer, her breathing gradually became heavier.
Why does his presence bother me so much?
Actually, Cynthia wanted to ask.
Where did you meet the Marquis of Ashur?
Does she really intend to get engaged to him?
Perhaps it was a forced marriage due to the will of the family.
‘But… ….’
If you ask, what can Cynthia do?
She wasn’t going to get engaged to him instead.
Cynthia didn’t even know her own mind yet.
Tuk.
As her worries deepened, a cold touch moistened the corners of her eyes.
Tuk, thuk.
Coldness falling down your body little by little.
Snow.
Is this the first snow?
A change in nature that temporarily pushes away mounting worries.
“Snow… ….”
It is winter now.
Snow rising in the north.
The two looked at the sky for a moment.
“…… “It’s snow.”
“I see.”
A season approaching with sentimentality.
Snow falls quietly in the dark sky.
The two looked down at the sky in silence, then made eye contact again.
“…… Evan.”
A voice that flows naturally.
Cynthia had a strong desire to ask about marriage talks, but… She forced herself to change her mind.
“Training… “Please don’t get hurt.”
This is probably what a professor can say.
“I understand.”
Evan calmly agrees.
He added:
“Professor, don’t overdo it either. “There is no benefit to overdoing it with the Winter Queen’s sword.”
Now that Cynthia has reached the 6th level of the Winter Queen’s Sword, Evan treats her in his own way.
Although Cynthia has recently reached peak stimulation, she seems to have a tendency to overdo it.
If she goes any further than the best stimulation, her body will only become sick.
“…… Yes.”
Cynthia smiled bitterly.
She definitely feels that she has become closer to him.
Now we can exchange small greetings.
Something I could not have imagined during the first semester.
Still, it hurts this much… Could it be her own greed?
Cynthia held on to her own clothes.

Time passed and the final exam was over.
Evan, who had experienced a midterm exam once, took it with ease this time. Since paid pay is confirmed anyway, do what you can.
Nevertheless, Professor Khan and Magic Sensitivity 1. Professor Rugal praised him until his mouth was dry.
“Huh~ It really is Evan! They say I became a dragon slayer, so I’m so proud! “I’ll give you a good grade!”
“Huh… “The more I look at this kind of magical power operation, the more ridiculous it becomes.”
Evaluation by Professors Khan and Rugal.
Evan was not used to their reactions.
‘It seems good to have taken a sloppy approach.’
It is still difficult to know the level of first graders.
Evan roughly responded to their reactions and came out of the testing room.
First year’s final test, magical power sensitivity. 1. This is over.
Now that the grading competition is over, vacation is over.
The students were tired from studying for the exam, but they went outside to play with a bright smile.
‘It’s time to train in Maya and Pinmana Forest.’
Of course, this does not apply to Evan.
For him, training routine was important, whether it was a test or something else.
※
An underground tunnel not far from the academy.
The academy’s first-year faculty and wizards were gathered together to adjust the inside of the tunnel.
To be used as a venue for the upcoming grading competition.
“The ground here is weak, please repair it with maintenance magic.”
“Yes!”
Rin, with her red hair flowing, speaks in a business-like manner.
The wizard employees answered quickly.
Lin is the site manager here.
The role of leading employees while wearing safety equipment.
The underground tunnel she is in is a secret passage once created by the Heresy.
To make it easier for the heresy country to invade the empire.
Of course, now it has been completely wiped out by the imperial army and is being used as a testing ground for the academy.
“Professors, please take a close look.”
“…… Yes.”
“I understand~”
“Lily, I understand.”
When the awkward Rin spoke, the first-year female professors answered sincerely.
Since I am not close to Lin, I wonder what the Vice Dean will say if I do a sloppy job.
Rin is as outstanding as she is capable, and she often takes on high-ranking roles at the Academy’s events.
‘It’s full of things I don’t like.’
Professor Mika thought while watching the wizards’ repair work.
Professor Mika, one of the field supervisors of the repair work.
She has been on edge lately.
In the past, Evan, who she hated so much for making fun of her, killed two dragons.
Didn’t the Vice Dean tell you to remove Evan’s blacklist?
When I think about it, being yelled at by Vice Dean Asher was a big deal.
‘I didn’t do anything wrong!’
Evan is the one who freaks out first.
Of course, Evan doesn’t even remember Mika anymore.
Mika thought she deserved to be on Evan’s blacklist.
‘…… ‘This is tyranny.’
Mika felt like she couldn’t bear it like this.
Of course, Empress Ashur behind Evan is scary.
A great noble family that Mika must keep an eye on.
And did you say that Evan was skilled enough to kill two dragons? At least it’s a baby dragon.
Will you be able to push Evan’s nose in the rating competition?
‘Before grade evaluation.’
Mika thought.
The grading competition is divided into individual evaluation and group evaluation.
Here, the group evaluation is for her students to enter the tunnel where Mika is now and go through various illusions.
At the end, there is a 3-on-1 sparring with the professor. Three students dealing with one professor.
Originally, professors deal with students by checking their level, but Mika was planning to scold Evan.
‘But… There are multiple professors…… She might never meet Evan. If we meet, it would be okay to vent our anger in a discreet way.’
Mika thought emotionally.
If it is a test process… Even Empress Ashur, the writer, won’t be able to say much to herself.
In the first place, injuries occur easily at the Knight Academy.
In addition, nobles are prohibited from interfering with education at Charles Academy.
Unless it crosses the line.
Mika clenched her fists.
Please meet Evan.
So…. who is Mika????
The teacher will be punished anyway
Bad teacher.
