Grand Duke of the Heibern House

Chapter 51

＜Episode 51＞

‘ah… … .’

Like most of the cadets, Lyria was shocked.

That would also be the case because he had never measured human emotions in the realm of magic and learning.

However, Louin’s argument was so realistic that no one could easily object.

From nob le mt l. co m

Fusion magic is magic that forces friends and colleagues to sacrifice.

Most of the cadets had never thought of it that way.

The first to speak was, of course, Professor Gary Eldos.

His eyes had returned to scholarly eyes and were calm.

“It’s a wizard’s ethics… … That’s a good point. However, in my class, I don’t want to deal with the issue of the mind with distinct individual differences. Sorcery is a study that trains reason, isn’t it a study that touches the emotions of magicians?”

Although he was speaking calmly, there was a nuance that seemed to disapprove of Ruin’s argument.

However, Ruin just nodded and sat down.

As Ruin closed his mouth without any objection, Professor Gary Eldos felt even more strange.

“Aren’t you going to object?”

Luin smiled faintly.

“Weren’t you just curious about my perspective on fusion magic? The one who teaches is the professor. The professor says that, but there is no reason to continue my argument.”

“okay. I would love to hear more of your point of view.”

Louin frowned.

“You want to argue with me?”

“demonstration?”

“I have a different point of view than the professor, and if you ask me to say more, I will fight.”

Gary Eldos hardens with a more strange expression. He immediately burst into laughter.

“… … Ha ha ha ha! that’s good! okay! Let’s talk freely!”

Ruin sighed softly and looked around.

“Let’s say you’ve faced a situation where you can unconditionally seize victory by casting field magic. Of the cadets gathered here, how many do you think will be able to make the sacrifice of their comrades?”

“I told you earlier, but that’s individual differences.”

Luin firmly shook his head.

“On the battlefield, there are not many opportunities to turn the tide of the battle at once. Of course, judgments are made in an instant. The moment you hesitate, all that remains is death. Not a single one of them could be cold.”

“The mind of the cadet who came to learn magic is truly full of narrow-mindedness. How well do you know the cadets in this class? It’s a serious leap.”

Luin laughed bitterly.

when the time of destruction has arrived.

We all watched how the high-ranking mages of the Mage Tower hesitated and how much they died of regret.

They failed to confront unethicality at the crucial moment and did not relieve human emotions.

Even the high-ranking wizards of the Mage Tower couldn’t overcome the cruelty of the battlefield, and it was nothing more to say about the unranked magic cadets.

Is it different from Professor Gary Eldos, who is now shining his dark eyes toward himself?

Then, Lillia quietly raised her hand.

When Professor Gary Eldos nodded her permission, she glared at Ruin coldly.

“Then, how can we alleviate human emotions? Can you learn something like that?”

The eyes of all the cadets, including Professor Gary Eldos, gathered on Ruin.

That’s because Ruin’s reaction was awaited.

“It is a restless image. Always imagine the most painful variable you can think of, the worst situation, and assume only the best choice you can make. So, learning magic should be a means to widen that range of choices.”

Ruin, who was not disturbed by a single breath, continued talking at once.

“Learning a new magic for me is an act that increases the chance of saving my father. It is a way to reduce the variables that threaten the lives of younger siblings, and it is the power to protect the lives of future relationships. That is my magic.”

“that… … .”

Seeing the heavy eyes that Ruin gave her, Lilia couldn’t speak anymore and had no choice but to close her mouth.

Silence as if it had been covered with cold water.

It is the values of one wizard, not one human.

The Hana cadets had never encountered a human with such clear convictions.

at that time.

Ruin pointed his gaze at the siege weapon hanging from the tall castle wall far away from the window.

“If magic does not exist for the purpose of becoming a wizard, how are you different from those siege weapons? If you’re going to act like a bow and gun, wouldn’t it make more sense to enlist in the royal army?”

A further shock hit the inside of the classroom.

The cadets, as well as Professor Gary Eldos, who teaches them… … .

Everyone was dazed in front of Ruin’s calm voice.

A topic of conversation for a magic cadet who never dared to imagine.

The sorcery of those who aspire to magic.

When the cadets looked at Ruin, they were reminded of mature wizards in a high mage tower.

It was a simple analogy, but it was definitely a human belief that would be upright no matter how many years passed, and a fierce ego of a wizard.

Ruin sat down and kept his mouth shut as if he would never open it again.

After many twists and turns, we arrived at the Faculty of Magic.

He was proud and complete like a king looking at his territory.

“… … .”

Professor Gary Eldos, who had been lost in his thoughts with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

Soon he put the textbook back on the podium and smiled bitterly.

“This is the end of my morning class.”

Adrena, who checked the time, was perplexed.

To finish morning classes after only ten minutes have passed?

I had never seen Professor Gary Eldos like this before.

Adrena knows him best.

She noticed right away that the professor’s condition was not serious.

“School, Professor!”

Adrena hurriedly followed Professor Gary Eldos out of the classroom.

On the other hand, Ruin was checking the morning schedule.

3 hours left until the next class.

When Ruin stood up with a nonchalant expression, several students including Lilia were approaching him.

But Ruin hurriedly left the classroom.

* * *

Professor Gary Eldos’s lab.

“Professor, are you okay?”

Adrena asked again and again, but Gary Eldos just sat in the chair and had a hard face the whole time.

‘What the hell is that guy?’

Of course, since he was the one that the high-ranking mages of the Mage Tower were paying attention to, he thought he was no ordinary cadet.

There’s nothing strange about being a genius if you’re talented enough to be noticed by the Magic Tower.

In fact, he even experienced first-hand the ridiculous talent of solving difficult problems that he had been struggling with for two years in an instant… … .

However, now that I have experienced my first class with him, my thoughts have completely changed.

Talent? genius?

I couldn’t express it with such clichéd words. This is a completely different issue.

‘… … Is it possible at that age?’

The way he preaches his magic without the slightest hesitation… … .

It feels like the wise man of the Mage Tower is only wearing the boy’s shell.

Can such a mage’s stubborn conviction be completed with the experience of his age?

I was even more confused when I personally checked the body of a guy without a handful of magical powers.

Then he suddenly remembered Adrena’s mission.

“Show me the log of his actions so far.”

“to? Oh yes.”

Adrena quickly searches her arms and politely hands out the journal to Gary Eldos.

Gary Eldos, who checked the journal, immediately frowned.

Arrogant, old-fashioned way of speaking, immature, ignorant, seems to have come to the wrong department, got kicked out of the engineering department, doesn’t like to eat delicious food. Priests are more suitable and so on.

Isn’t it a completely different evaluation of what happened to him than the guy he experienced?

“What the hell is this?”

Adrena said seriously as she adjusted her glasses.

“I evaluated it as objectively and sincerely as possible!”

“Um… … .”

Gary Eldos, who was fixing his temple, sighed and stared at Adrena.

“The records are too fragmentary. You can’t figure out what type of cadet he is like this, right?”

Adrena looked like she didn’t understand at all.

“Isn’t it? This is my perfect evaluation, observing and documenting his actions without omission.”

“Huh… … .”

Gary Eldos winked at Adrena to sit down.

“Just tell me about him.”

Adrena answered with a vigorous nod.

However, as Adrena’s explanation continued, Gary Eldos’ expression became more and more varied.

“run?”

“yes. run until you die Ah, that’s just the expression.”

“Are you fasting?”

“yes. Even after running like that, you always ate less than me?”

“why? why are you running? For what purpose?”

Suddenly, Adrena took off her glasses and imitated Ruin’s expression.

Realistically in a deep voice.

“If you rest without walking today, you have to run tomorrow. If I rest tomorrow, I have to fly the day after tomorrow.”

Professor Gary Eldos stiffened with a dazed expression.

Adrena coughed low and put her glasses back on.

“Did you say this? Oh and again!”

“and?”

“He said it was to gain ‘spirit’.”

“What spirit?”

“Eh, I don’t know about that, do I?”

As Gary Eldos stiffened his expression thoughtfully, Adrena clapped her hands as if thinking about it.

“ah! That’s what connects you even when you eat! Consciousness! Does it affect consciousness?”

“Consciousness?”

Perhaps because of Gary Eldos’s most serious expression, Adrena searched for her memory as much as possible.

“Human actions inevitably affect consciousness. Eating habits also have a non-negligible influence on consciousness.”

Adrena imitated Ruin again and her eyes twinkled.

“It was said that the structure of human consciousness is that the more you covet something pleasant and comfortable, the more something else inevitably becomes dull. Like persistence or perseverance?”

Gary Eldos’s expression becomes more mysterious.

“If you fill up with joy, you will find more stimulation… … What kind of desire twists when stimulation reaches its limit? So I heard that people get wet with inertia?”

Professor Gary Eldos jumps up.

okay.

It was like this.

What can explain the abysmal look of the guy?

“Adrena cadet.”

“yes! professor!”

Chii Ii-

Professor Gary Eldos said in a heavy voice as he tore up Adrena’s observation journal.

“oh?”

“From now on, write down those things from now on and bring them. Anything that can infer his values or self-consciousness, such as his personality and his direction in life.”

“Ah, I get it!”

“Observe carefully even when revealing magical abilities. If there is anything special about it, be sure to include it in detail. especially.”

“… … especially?”

“When he is practicing magic, run directly to me and report it.”

“Uh, what if the professor isn’t at the academy?”

Professor Gary Eldos gestures at the cot with a wink.

“I’m not going to leave work today. It’s the time he gave me anyway, so I’ll use it for him.”

“ah! then?”

Until this study was completed, Professor Gary Eldos was not going to go home.

Doesn’t that mean that thanks to Ruin, the professor’s magic technique, which was a difficult problem for two years, was completed?

Adrena asked cautiously.

“Certainly the circuit he drew… … ?”
