Chapter 70
The mad praise towards me continued for quite some time after that.
I didn’t just win with swordsmanship, and in fact, I used magic, so it was just an expedient in many ways, so I didn’t feel comfortable, but it was a problem that I just had to keep my mouth shut.
However, while suffering for a long time, as expected, the class ended without being properly connected. No, Jidly, what would he do if he was swung along with Ji as a professor? It may be that Radnell Vandes is being strict because there is such a strangely lax part.
“I’ll find you later, so go around in moderation, Eldmia.”
Siegfried smiled very cheerfully and moved on to the next lesson. Maybe I didn’t expect such a reaction at all, but Ragnis came up to me and asked, as I quietly watched as the three women attached to the hero followed him with a puzzled look on their faces.
“Why is he pretending to be friendly? It makes me feel bad.”
It was good to win, but she was in a strangely grumpy state because the hero didn’t seem to have taken any damage.
“He might be a better guy than I thought.”
“…They seemed to be talking about something after the sparring, in between?”
“I’ll have to talk about it a bit more, but… that looks like a lot of debauchery, and it’s like half acting.”
Of course, that didn’t mean that his swordsmanship wasn’t basic or that he was slightly lacking, but it was clear that Siegfried was taking his position seriously. Seeing how he responds right away when talking about empire, there is no need to doubt it.
“Hmm…By the way. Did you win?”
“The basic ability is at a level that I can’t even dare, but the basics are so lacking. I don’t think I felt any threat against monsters or thieves, and it must be because it’s at a level that works well among students even inside the academy.”
Since he was a reincarnated person, there is a possibility that he lived in magic during the time he was educated at the academy. Because I also wanted to learn magic first when I was young. I don’t know if he would have realized it if he had competed against someone who was strong enough to feel the wall at least once… There was no way to know yet if he was intentionally left in that situation or if he was pampered as a hero.
“Why did an empire that puts so much effort into education to the extent of using space magic to create such an enormous arena leave its warriors with weaknesses?”
Everything that came to my mind immediately came down to the intention of using the hero, so I looked at Ragnis to ask for an opinion, but she just stared at me with a frown on her brow.
Why are you looking at me with those eyes?
“You noticed that? The same goes for destroying magic. Why do you think I have a lot to ask you today?”
ah. I knew that because of the color, so I usually don’t know.
“Let’s follow the class for now and talk later.”
“…Should we talk about it later?”
“Nothing.”
It’s not something I can’t say, but there are a lot of eyes to see now. Anyway, how should I describe this?
Do you pour on something like magic eyes?
◈
Classes at the academy were roughly organized at 4:00. Even though it was after rumors spread that he had defeated the hero and cast the Amulet in every class, I and Ragnis had to be harassed by the students to the point of exhaustion, but we were able to finish our first day at the academy safely.
“The academy I knew wasn’t like this…”
Even Ragnis, unlike me, who is experiencing the Royal Academy in full swing, couldn’t overcome the cultural differences and reached the point where he was scattered, so he said it all. In the end, exhausted, we were sitting at a dessert cafe enthusiastically recommended by female students, consuming coffee and sugar.
“Compared to the Empire, the Kingdom was just a village.”
“As an aristocrat, I want to deny it, but I have nothing to say.”
Right now, the price of a coffee at a cafe is one fairy tale, and the price of a small cake is two fairy tales. Even both of them boasted quality enough to feel good in my mouth, the owner of a high-end taste, thanks to memories from previous lives.
To eat a piece of cake like this in the kingdom would have cost six fairy tales. It’s more common for coffee to drink two fairy tales than muddy water. Would I just carry around coffee beans?
“As expected, if the land is big, it’s different no matter what. If the surplus goods overflow later, will the kingdom benefit?”
“…You don’t even go to the academy, so where do you go to study like that?”
“There are ways.”
Of course, I don’t know if there really is such a way. It’s just a memory from a past life. Realizing that I didn’t intend to go into much detail, Ragnis changed the subject with the disapproving look he often wears these days.
“Rather than that, explain what happened earlier in the arena.”
“It’s a very subtle sense to say that this is exactly what it is…”
Anyway, since the opponent was Ragnis, I told him everything as it was. There’s no need to hide it when you know that I’m a guy who uses magical powers, not Aurors anyway.
In fact, not only sight, but all five senses respond to feeling magical power, but the easiest part to explain is the visual part, so I explained only that.
“So… the flow of mana is also shown in that color, and when you use magic, you see the mana sucked into the magic you are casting?”
“Roughly, isn’t it?”
“If you cut it just because you can see it, will it cut it?”
“It’s not like that. Even with a sword, you can only cut it after some skill, like putting magic on your body.”
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“It’s a little subtle. It was a bit easy in the arena, but since it’s a sword that was embodied in fantasy, I think it was easy because it was part of mana.”
After getting the new sword, I tried several times, but it didn’t go so fast.
“So, then, is that possible just by wearing mana or aura?”
“Huh? Because I can’t even feel the mana properly. But even if I could cut it, it would be difficult if I couldn’t see it? It’s flimsy like a thread blown in the wind, but it’s filthy fast.”
Destroying magic by directly interfering with spells, such as dispelling, belongs to a common axis that is used as a battle between wizards, but at least I haven’t heard of a story that can be done like me.
If it was just wearing mana, rumors spread that someone was just swinging an enchanted sword and ate one or two magics, and there would have been people who researched it, but there is no such story. In the first place, it is established that it is impossible to wear an Auror on a weapon, so that part is not worth worrying about.
“Because I only recently found out that weapons can do this. I don’t think anyone can emulate it with your common sense and my common sense.”
“…That’s a problem as it is.”
It was obvious that Ragnis was worried. Now that technology has emerged that has never existed before, it must be that all groups are concerned about the fact that they can turn their eyes to find out the truth and judge the value of the guy. However, I did not openly show such things without thinking.
“I just need to pretend that the sword is loaded with a dispel spell.”
“However, such an obvious lie? It’s already a huge rumor spreading, but does anyone believe it?”
“Even if 30 students and one professor had talked about it right away, there would have been a lot of people who were suspicious. ”
Even if it’s just Gidley right away, it will be resolved in the Radnell Vandes line, so the rest of the rumors will just pass over time and say, ‘Huh? Was it like that?’ Just enough to make you suspicious. It’s more realistic to have meticulously prepared for battle than to discover something new that couldn’t exist in the yard where even the hero was defeated.
“I think you’re thinking too carefree…”
“Ah, believe me. By the time we leave, it shouldn’t even be mentioned that we were only interested in the fact that we defeated the hero and destroyed magic?”
Despite not being very reluctant, Ragnis eventually nodded and agreed. As we finished our cup of coffee while chatting, the door of the cafe opened and I heard a familiar voice.
“Eldmia! Shall we talk over a meal!”
Siegfried, who had been unable to put a woman on either side and appeared with one more behind him, approached me confidently, not paying attention to others.
Please, it doesn’t matter if you don’t notice, so I hope you look at the kids coming in while massaging their breasts or buttocks. Ragnis is terribly embarrassed.
“Haa…Hero.
Earlier, she was wearing Nun and Eselua, and now she is wearing Eselua and Elf. Seeing that he always holds on to Eselua, does it mean that he is a true lover?
Of course, that doesn’t matter at all… But after hearing what I said, the other side also reacted that it didn’t matter anyway, so I think they’ll go crazy.
“If Zeke likes it, then I like it too. Well, it’s a bit embarrassing, but I like this better than other people’s eyes.”
“I don’t really care either.”
The elf and Eselua answered without changing their face color, and the nun silently nodded.
I’ll turn, really.
“Damn it. This is the hero’s majesty. But out of respect for the Marquis and you, I’ll take care of it this time.”
“Zeke?”
“As expected, didn’t you get hit wrong during the fight earlier?”
On the contrary, when Siegfried removed his hands from the two bodies and made an exaggerated bow, the three women widened their eyes in awe.
What kind of life did that guy lead in this world?
“Anyway. First of all, it’s rice.”
Ha ha ha ha, he still smiled ferociously, but unlike the first time, he had an impression that was close to a lively one. And, as if it was only me who felt that way, Ragnis was also quite embarrassed by Siegfried’s attitude, which was completely different from before.
Probably because there is no hostility or irritation left in that attitude.
“Zeke. If you say that, other people don’t know. What the hell is that bastard’s meal? He keeps calling it meal.”
“Ah. That’s right. No matter how much time passes, it won’t be fixed. Meal after meal. I’ll live.”
I don’t know anything else. That guy is obviously Korean.
