Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 48＞

Except for his father, Dane, Yucain, and Soene, no one in his family knew that he had come to the academy.

Also, the father or Yukain uncle, who are united by the conviction of a lofty knight, asks for the convenience of the grand duke?

A mage’s oath not to put forth his family, much less.

Isn’t this also a fact that they all know?

No matter how much he thought about it, Ruin couldn’t understand why that red-haired girl with glasses was calling his name.

I looked around to see if there was someone with the same name, but I was the only one who responded to Adrena’s name.

“Hey, you’re Mr. Louin Ryan, right?”

‘Ryan… … ?’

At Adrena’s question, Ruin had no choice but to stand still in a daze again.

Normally, if you are a normal citizen of the territory, not a slave or a wanderer, you follow the surname bestowed by the lord.

Ryan is the surname of a territorial citizen belonging to the Duchy of Bern.

This made it clear.

The fact that he came from the Duchy of Bern was a fact known only to them, if not to his family.

‘They are the old people of the Mage Tower.’

After a little bit of doubt was solved, Ruin finally regained his peace of mind. The variable that I couldn’t count was really disgusting.

“I guess I was right. There seems to be a mistake.”

Adrena adjusted her glasses and checked the roster again.

“uh… … Ruin-san is the only sub-cadet from the Duchy of Bern, right?”

“… … .”

When Ruin silently kept his mouth shut without any reaction, Adrena rummaged through her pocket and handed the key to Shurie.

“Come on, Shurie-sama. Get this here.”

After Shurie accepts the key, Adrena continues talking.

“That is my dorm key. The facilities are much better than the dormitories for no-rank cadets. You should stay here in the future. stir… … Lilia-sama?”

Lyria was still next to the fountain, leaning against the wall at an angle, glancing at her.

“If you share my room with Shurie-sama… … .”

As if not interested, Lilia buried her head in the book again.

Shurie asked cautiously.

“Then what about you?”

smile.

“I’m Professor Gary Eldos’ assistant, so there are many places to stay even if it’s not a dormitory. hit.”

Adrena then approached the statue by the fountain.

again again

Adrena placed six or seven nameplates on the slender hands of the statue stretching out gracefully.

“The rest of you, go find the name tag here. The dormitory where you will also be staying is written on the name tag. It’s annoying, but it’s okay to skip the orientation, right?”

All the prospective magic cadets responded loudly.

“yes! Seniors!”

“I have come to understand everything!”

To the prospective magic cadets, the 3rd rank magic cadet was truly a distant senior.

Third place meant that at least she made more than three rings.

As if there was nothing more to do, Adrena turned around and walked away.

“Mr. Luin, please follow me.”

Ruin, who stood for a moment with a frown, followed Adrena.

* * *

The place where Adrena’s steps stopped was in front of a professor’s lab.

smart.

“professor. This is Adrena.”

Ruin, who checked the nameplate in the lab, frowned. It was because the name of the professor who attended the conference was openly there.

＜You can come in.＞

rattle.

Ruin, who entered the laboratory, could not identify the professor’s face.

All sorts of reagents, scrolls, and research journals were piled up like a mountain on the desk, blocking my view.

Adrena walked cautiously and moved the cluttered objects to the corner of the desk.

Only then did Professor Gary Eldos show his face.

Eyes full of paranoia.

A face that doesn’t seem friendly.

It is the look of stubborn lips.

Professor Gary Eldos, who was scratching his shaggy hair as if he hadn’t washed for days, was the epitome of an eccentric wizard.

“Are you Ruin?”

While questioning, her eyes are on her research journal.

Ruin burst out laughing at the cute (?) professor.

Even though it might be questionable about the behavior of the prospective magic cadet sipping at the professor, Professor Gary Eldos just waved his hand lightly.

Jiing-

When he made the hand sign, multi-dimensional shapes formed in the air, and soon they scattered in a haze and were deeply embedded in Ruin’s body.

A sense of floating as if immersed in the world of mana.

Disparate magical powers that stir up inside of you in an instant.

It was Focusing, a focused magic spell to find out the opponent’s magical abilities.

The behavior of an outspoken professor.

Ruin, who was momentarily angry, opened his mouth.

“what? You don’t have anything?”

Gary Eldos’s expression seemed absurd.

Such a reaction was natural if he wanted to see Ruin’s magical abilities.

The spirit world exists in the middle between the material world and the spiritual world.

Ruin’s mana hall was in that spirit world until he was summoned.

If you are not a transcendental level, that is, an 8th tier or higher wizard who can feel the spirit world, you will not be able to see any reverberations of magic in Ruin.

“Then, is your talent outstanding?”

At those words from Professor Gary Eldos, Adrena was clearly holding back her laughter.

Because I know how much he hates talent theory.

He was a typical effortist who believed in the improvement of cause and effect and such a fair price.

“… … .”

Professor Gary Eldosu is observing Ruin more closely.

The boy was still sneering with a twisted mouth.

It’s really hard for a twisted smile to suit a person, but it suited him like his clothes.

He didn’t have the slightest bit of magic, but for some reason, looking at that twisted smile didn’t dampen his interest.

If they told me to observe carefully, there must be a reason for that.

High-ranking wizards of the Mage Tower, including the wise man.

Clearly, the boy in front of her was a being that was receiving their attention.

Whirik-

Professor Gary Eldos brushed off his handkerchief and said calmly to Adrena.

“Adrena, a third-class magic cadet. My pretty assistant.”

“Uh, yes? Why are you looking at me so ominously?”

Adrena had a chill.

It’s because he knows from experience that when the eccentric Professor Gary Eldos calls himself like this, he always asks for too much.

smile.

“From today, I want our Adrena to carefully observe the life of this cadet named Ruin. If there are any peculiarities, write them down. No, write down all of his actions in your journal.”

“Uh, yes? Go, what is that all of a sudden… … ?”

“Didn’t you do an observational study? It’s like keeping an observation journal.”

Adrena opened her eyes wide as if she was even more absurd.

“No, I know, I’m asking! Doesn’t that mean stick around and record all day long?”

“I’m glad my pretty assistant understood.”

“Well, how are my classes going? What are your grades? What about the thesis I’m preparing? Besides, you clearly know my circumstances!”

Adrena had no choice but to stiffen in a daze at Professor Gary Eldos’s answer.

“If you successfully complete this observational study, you will be issued a certificate of entry into the Tower as well as a diploma from the Faculty of Magic. Oh, and an additional fee of 600 lirang every month. Any more problems?”

Awarding diplomas without going through 4th rank? Skipping all the coursework and papers?

On top of that, the dream of all wizards and the long-awaited certificate of entry into the tower?

Even more absurd was the payment of 600 lirang per month.

Isn’t that enough for a professor’s main salary?

“to… … No, are you kidding?”

“Since I brought it up this far, I thought you might notice.”

Adrena immediately adjusted her glasses, her eyes shining.

A certificate of entry that can never be confirmed with the authority of a professor.

On top of that, the salary of a professor is unaffordable.

‘It’s a mission from the Mage Tower!’

I didn’t even have to listen to it anymore when the thought reached that point.

If you throw out this irresistible offer, everyone will point fingers at you as an idiot.

Adrena nodded absently.

“I do! I will, Professor!”

“good!”

Ruin, who silently watched the entire process, smiled.

Isn’t it usually polite not to do such a secret and disgusting act in front of the person in question?

“It’s funny how you do such a dirty deal right in front of the person concerned. Do you think I will cooperate?”

Professor Gary Eldos smiled and looked at Ruin’s name tag.

Gary Eldos reached out his hand.

“If you don’t want to comply with my request, return the name tag from the Faculty of Magic and return to your hometown.”

“… … .”

Ruin bites his lip.

Even at this moment, the evil of despair must be rapidly developing its capabilities.

It was an uneasy yard even if he regained the state of his previous life even for a moment. However, without the help of the Mage Tower, you can never recover to the state of your previous life.

‘Uh… … .’

After thinking it over, in order to move the hearts of the wise men, there was also a need to solve their curiosity to some extent.

Only provide enough information to stimulate their curiosity.

After all, the one who is attached to the unknown contained in his magic is that one.

food.

“What a nasty professor you are.”

Luin closed his eyes.

After calming down and minding for a while, the professor’s clear intentions don’t seem so bad.

At least it was better than plotting things behind your back.

It was rather easy to respond if you openly and kindly revealed your intentions like this.

Professor Gary Eldos seemed eccentric on the outside, but I could read his plain pride and intuitive personality at once.

He was a character I really liked.

With such excitement in his heart, Ruin wanted to give him a small gift as a great mage.

Ruin walks straight ahead and looks at the research journal on the desk indifferently.

Professor Gary Eldos, who had been wildly angry at the outrageous behavior of the kid, soon froze in a daze.

It was because his heart was shaken mercilessly by Ruin’s voice that he heard soon after.

“You foolishly cling to a spell that cannot converge. That circuit diagram suits diffusion, not acceleration.”

“what… … ?”

Gary Eldos hurriedly looked at his research journal following Ruin’s gaze.

“Even the minute unit resistance values were all wrong. Who are you? A person who studies and implements such a ridiculous circuit.”

“Me, me?”

Tumble.

Louin picks up the pen on the desk.

Then, in his research journal, fine shapes are arbitrarily drawn.

“Hey, look! Wh-what did you do!”

How dare you defile the professor’s research journal on the subject of a cadet, and a pre-cadet at that!

Adrena hurriedly tried to stop Ruin from such absurd behavior, but rather she was the one who was stopped by the professor’s hands.

“Adrena. quiet.”

swish

Ruin seemed to be scrawling casually, but Gary Eldos’s eyes grew wider and wider in surprise.

“Acceleration has already lost its power at the point of extending the weakened mana. Of course, if you want to replace the Flat back with a Wave, it’s wise to choose Diffusion. The point of substitution is here and here.”

swish

When Ruin let go of the pen, Gary Eldos immediately fell into the world of images.

Gary Eldos is persistently tracking the newly transformed magic formula through images.

Boo Woo-

The mana that has repeatedly spread cannot withstand the critical point and spreads its power in all directions.

A huge explosion occurred in the world of images.

aaagh-

The Multi Area Explosion that I have been clinging to for the past several years.

That’s the first step to achieve the 7th rank.

That earnest desire was completed with futile ease.

Gary Eldos slowly opened his eyes, barely controlling his trembling heart.

“This is my response to a small favor from the professor. You don’t want to report this to the Mage Tower, do you?”

Gary Eldos hardened his expression with a subtle expression.

Report this to the Magic Tower?

Immediately, Ruin takes all of his research results that he has been clinging to for a long time.

However, there was something more meaningful than that.

“A favor from me? This Gary Eldos has done you no favors.”

Ruin nodded gracefully and opened the door to the lab.

“At least it doesn’t look like someone who stabs you in the back.”

clap.

From nob le mt l. co m

For a long time after the lab door was closed, there was no response from Professor Gary Eldos.

Then, suddenly, Gary Eldos bursts into laughter.

“hahahahaha! What a strange fellow!”

That’s how he immediately brightened his eyes and pointed at Adrena.

“Now what are you doing here? Why don’t you catch up with him?”

“to? Ah, oh yes!”

Adrena ran out of the lab with her red hair flying.
