Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 72＞

Seeing Shiron’s leisurely smile, Severon couldn’t say anything.

I decided to follow Shiron’s will until the end of my life.

It was a childish promise from a young day, but it was definitely an oath made through a magical ceremony.

“… … .”

According to the oath, he had to choose the ‘voice’ according to Shiron’s decision, but his hand couldn’t move.

“Never mind, Severon. I have no intention of forcing your fate.”

Chiron is relieving the burden.

Chiron knows himself well.

If it were him, he would definitely cheer for him, saying that Tower was the best.

however.

“Ah! Even Daphne has a voice?”

“Wow, are you guys really confident you won’t regret it?”

Daphne is smiling with a beautiful smile that will make your heart ache.

To say that even she, the towering wizard and disciple of the sage, is a ‘voice’.

Daphne, Lyria, and Shiron.

I knew it because I had been called a genius since I was a child.

That they are geniuses beyond themselves.

Why do those guys, who have a colder reason and higher wisdom than anyone else, make such a reckless choice?

In the end, Severon had no choice but to look at Ruin.

The boy at the center of all these mysteries.

The source of this strange feeling that is spreading like an epidemic.

A poisonous mushroom that takes away the reason of all geniuses.

‘… … .’

I’ve never had a good night’s sleep.

I never thought of a life without magic.

Thinking of the past days of learning magic made him unbearably disgusted.

But the moment I met his eyes.

‘ah… … .’

thoughts stop

There was no consistent emotion in the boy’s eyes.

The eyes of a guy who is more pessimistic than anyone else and at the same time harbors a passion that cannot be matched when discussing magic.

Boredom and futility, passion and arrogance all felt in his eyes were always unbearably overwhelming.

In the eyes of Ruin, even Severon got drunk in the end.

＜Voice, aspiring and reclusive＞

I couldn’t believe it even though I wrote it myself.

This Severon, who can do anything for magic, is a human who can make such absurd decisions.

“Severon… … ?”

Shiron was asking with her eyes.

But Severon couldn’t help but laugh.

When asked about the reason for this decision, he couldn’t come up with an answer.

“hahahaha, that’s ridiculous. It’s all just crazy people.”

Volcan’s eyes became ferocious.

Even if they were cadets with no rank, these guys are also magicians anyway.

However, it was impossible to find the cold rationality of such a wizard.

Volkan didn’t even feel the need to maintain the sophistication of a superior.

“They say there are many skilled riders, so it seems like I wasted my time for no reason.”

After that, Volkan, the leader of the Tower’s 4th rank, left empty-handed.

It’s the same that Edentia, the sentinel of the red flame, also felt uncomfortable.

“I thought we would get a lot of good talent this time, but I am very disappointed.”

When even Edentia left the classroom, the only 4th-rank cadet left was the girl from the sky.

She was still staring at Ruin with strange eyes.

‘It was the first time.’

Even if they showed genius abilities, the unranked cadets, who had not yet learned proper magic, had limitations.

So until now, most of them have secretly recruited only the cadets of the Tower, and among them, those who have proven their special results.

This is the first time in the history of the sky that such an open recruitment of students has occurred.

But got rejected.

At such an unexpected ending, the girl in the sky was at a loss as to what action to take.

The girl in the sky bit her lip.

If it’s a public invitation like this, there must be a reason.

“I will come back later.”

At those words, all the cadets with no rank shook their heads.

That beautiful Daphne is also a dumper.

All the cadets with no rank knew that once he made up his mind, that would be the end.

When even the girl from the sky left, the classroom quickly became bustling.

“Chiron, let’s hear the reason.”

Jed, who was always playful, hardened his expression seriously.

Shiron is the grandson of a wise man.

His aides couldn’t help but know that his reputation in the Faculty of Magic would have a huge impact on his succession plan.

From nob le mt l. co m

For an aide who bet his fate, this is a pretty serious situation.

If Shiron failed to take his place in the Medenia family and fell, all his friends would go to Hell together.

Shiron smiled and looked at Ruin.

“How long do you think this guy has participated in class properly?”

After thinking for a while, Jed replied.

“About three weeks?”

“okay. This guy only attended classes for three weeks right before summer break.”

“so?”

Shiron opened his mouth as if to affirm it.

“In just 3 weeks, my magic has advanced far beyond the previous 6 months.”

“huh… … ?”

“It is not simply about the realm of magic. Eye for magic, keynote, mental strength, insight, intuition, self-confidence… … If you quantify all my basic knowledge, I have advanced at least twice as much.”

Shiron’s eyes deepened beyond measure.

“If you are a wizard, you will know. These basic soyang-Eun is not easy to learn and realize. You should be more sensitive to these changes.”

“I don’t feel much, do I?”

Shiron laughed.

“Is that Lyria stupid? You would have checked for half a year? How frightening is that woman’s intuition.”

“that… … .”

“Lilia like that followed this guy without hesitation and decided on a group. I felt it instinctively. That Ruin has more than professors.”

More than just professors from the Faculty of Magic?

does that make sense?

Regardless of whether they are theoretically excellent or talented, professors in the Faculty of Magic are monstrous wizards.

Since they were professors selected from the Royal Academy, they have equal status with the elders on the top floor of the Mage Tower.

Now, Shiron is saying that Ruin, who is only a cadet with no rank and is just a teenage boy, is a better wizard than those professors.

Let Jed look at Ruin with more strange eyes.

Ruin could not stand it and jumped up.

From nob le mt l. co m

For the subject sitting next to me, to openly paint his face like this.

“I don’t know what you expect from me, but it’s all an illusion. A person’s soyang grows as each person’s effort.”

“I pondered your argument and thought about it as you said. My horizons widened, and the intuition and magic that I believed in changed. There was no misunderstanding there.”

Ruin twists his forehead.

“Does the mage Medenia family have no traditional training methods? Is it okay to throw away the training methods prescribed by the family law and assimilate into the methods of others so easily?”

sh*t.

“I don’t know. The strength of the Medenian family comes from a flexible attitude that does not reject new things and respects high-level magicians. That’s the secret to keeping our family alive and not rotting.”

Louin shook his head.

After all, is it a magic master?

He was a guy who showed a sense of genius enough to be strange once in a while.

Why does a guy with such a flexible and active mind look so stupid?

Doesn’t the sky really give everyone?

“Ehh.”

Shurie, who watched the whole process with a sigh, also wrote ‘voice’ on the application form as if she couldn’t help it.

However, the cadet who was shaken by Ruin ended up here.

All cadets with good talent, such as Menoe and Frena, applied for the ‘Wisteria Tower of Illusion’.

Zed and his aides also thought about it for a long time before finally choosing the top.

Shiron didn’t bother to criticize them.

“I, Shiron, have no intention of breaking friendship just because of a group. We can meet at any time in our daily life, so don’t be sad and let’s do our best in our respective places.”

Jed laughed bitterly.

“Then goodbye now.”

The moment the group was decided, the dormitory and class assignments were supposed to change from the second semester onwards.

From nob le mt l. co m

From now until they win first place, it was time for each of them to seek their own survival.

Even if you filled out the application form, it was meaningless if you failed to meet the credits and were suspended.

“Syron. Please get all you want.”

Chiron smiled at Jed’s solemn goodbye.

“Jed. You will do just fine.”

Ruin.

Shiron and Severon.

Lyria and Shurie.

And even Daphne.

The most prominent geniuses in the history of the Faculty of Magic.

That’s how I entered the ‘reclusive and yearning voice’.

And the rumor quickly spread throughout the academy.

* * *

Unranked cadets sitting around randomly in the rose garden looking at the ‘Group Guide’ as if possessed.

“Unbelievable… … .”

Chiron was looking through the ‘Group Guide’ over and over again.

“What do you mean there are no assigned classrooms?”

Severon pursed his lips at Shurie’s question.

“It’s obvious. They are cadets who will be paid or expelled anyway, so would the undergraduate department care? Wasn’t that what you expected?”

“Yeah, but I didn’t know it would be so blatant! furthermore!”

Shurie opened her eyes and checked the group guide again.

“The dormitory assignment is like that too! It’s an awfully secluded place! It’s too far from the undergraduate building!”

Even in the midst of this, Ruin, who was practicing imagery, muttered with his eyes closed.

“I still have a chance to go back. It’s not too late now, so go to the Tower.”

But looking at everyone’s eyes, it didn’t seem like he would change his mind.

Shiron opened his mouth seriously.

“Let’s talk about the grades remaining until first place in order.”

“I have 16 points left.”

When Shurie answered, Shiron looked at Liria.

“Two points.”

Shiron soon became an angry expression.

I never thought I would have already passed 50 points out of the 52 points I had to complete.

In fact, it was over after completing one unremarkable liberal arts class.

“I am 12 points. What about you, Ruin?”

Ruin gave a short answer to Shiron’s question.

“24 points.”

It couldn’t have been a great credit for participating in the class almost at the end of the semester.

It seems that he completed all the required subjects with the highest marks.

The question continued to Severon.

“you?”

“32 points.”

“Why? ah… … .”

Chiron remembered the incident in which he foolishly refused to give the highest score.

“I will turn away. Does your pride feed you?”

From nob le mt l. co m

From now on, I couldn’t expect advice from the professor in charge or friendly education from the advisors.

The future is the future of being an eye candy by going around the river like a beggar.

Guidance professors are unlikely to look favorably on the cadets from the ‘Voice’ group.

They’re just wasting time anyway, so there’s no way they’d be enthusiastic about that teaching.

“I’m crazy. Then, let’s start by helping Severon with his assignments. Next is Ruin, Shurie, and I… … .”

“Wait.”

All eyes are on Daphne.

Daphne is smiling brightly.

“Because I have zero points?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone forgot about Daphne.

Chiron stood up with a determined face and looked at Daphne.

“Where is your group application now?”

“why?”

“Now go and tear it up.”

Daphne’s smile grew awkward at Chiron’s cold eyes.

“Yeah, I can fill up my credits in no time! you know? I’m a standing wizard!”
