Grand Duke of the Heibern House

Chapter 86

＜Chapter 86＞

By the time the night is full of twilight.

Ruin and the cadets were heading to the Holy Land of the Royal Academy, called the ‘Temple of Wisdom’.

Bubbly.

A long tree-lined avenue that cuts through the darkness.

The magic lights hanging from those trees were swaying precariously by the night wind.

After walking for a while and leaving the tree-lined road, a huge stone statue came into view in the distance.

A stone statue of the first dean shrouded in fog.

Shiron trembled in a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

“No, why is it this time?”

midnight soon.

At this late hour, when all the cadets were sleeping, I couldn’t understand why they had to call the cadets of the voice separately.

“I had never heard of such a secret outdoor class. Are you a little suspicious?”

Daphne answered Shurie’s anxious voice.

“This is the place I heard directly from Professor Helen.”

“Are you sure?”

Ruin, who was walking silently while listening to the conversation of the cadets, suddenly looked up at the night sky.

Even though I was wearing a thick coat, I felt a bit of a chill.

Lemadel, which belongs to the northern continent, is famous for its harsh winters.

Winter soon.

Compared to other kingdoms, Lemadel’s fall, which was extremely short, was ending like that.

“… … Professor Helen? huh?”

Professor Helen was standing under the stone statue of the first dean of the Royal Academy, the mage Schlater.

But isn’t it not only her, but several professors, including Professor Gary Eldos, standing together?

Even that old man in a dark chestnut brown robe.

Although I couldn’t see his face properly because he was wearing a hood, I was able to infer his identity at once because of his long gray hair that fell down to his shoulders.

“uh?”

“Why is Hedayan’s dean again… … ?”

The cadets’ bewildered reaction.

As soon as he saw him, Ruin immediately realized that this outdoor class was not a class that was caused by Professor Helen’s will.

Undoubtedly the head of the department.

He will be the culprit behind all of this.

“Come on guys.”

In the darkness, Professor Helen’s even, white teeth shone brightly.

As the voice cadets stiffened with dumbfounded expressions, the dean of Hedeian’s dean’s old voice was heard.

“Cadets, bow to the first dean.”

One by one, the voice cadets, who were standing awkwardly, took the manners of wizards.

“Cadet Shiron.”

At the call of the department head, Shiron lifted her bowed head.

“yes?”

“Can you promise this dean that you will speak only the truth on this sacred ground of wisdom?”

Shiron gulped and looked at the huge stone statue.

Mage Schlater.

The person who designed Lemadel Kingdom and the first president who founded the Royal Academy.

He was a great sage of Lemadel with an honor and stature close to that of the first king.

It is not unreasonable to say that the Faculty of Magic’s continued existence in the kingdom of these knights is solely due to his credit.

In front of the sacred name, the great sage’s stone statue, Shiron did not dare to speak a lie.

“Yes, I promise.”

“Then I will trust you. Have you ever taken the key to the Battlefield 16 from the Faculty Management Office?”

“yes… … ?”

In an instant, Ruin’s eyebrows twitched.

I finally figured out the faculty’s clear intention.

The reason for calling them here was clear.

Cadets whose time is not yet ripe.

A time when patriotism toward Lemadel and pride as a wizard were infested.

To take advantage of the pure hearts of such students, they gathered in this sanctuary.

Ruin instantly burst into laughter at the skill of the head of the department who accurately understood the tendencies of the young students.

‘Is that why?’

The toxic dark tree-lined road.

a howling wind.

A thick fog hung everywhere.

Although the traces of the spell were erased, Ruin definitely felt artificial.

If all of that was the directing intended by the dean of the department, it really couldn’t be more than a chilling old man.

“That, that… … .”

Shiron looked at Ruin in embarrassment.

However, Ruin only looked at the dean with calm eyes.

Did you prepare such an elaborate stage to shrink the cadets’ minds?

Just for reprimand or discipline?

If it was such a simple intention, there would not have been a need for meticulous directing.

From nob le mt l. co m

First of all, it was to find out the intention of the department head.

“This is what I did.”

It was true, and there was no need to harm Shiron.

Judging by the dean’s attitude so far, there is a high probability that this stage is a ploy to attract himself.

When a satisfactory answer flowed from Ruin, the head of the department immediately revealed it.

“Did you enter the battlefield to prepare for the martial arts competition?”

Luin didn’t bother denying it.

“That’s right.”

“Hoo!”

buzz buzz.

The professors were all looking surprised.

It is the first time in the history of the academy that a non-ranking cadet has offered to participate in a martial arts competition.

“Isn’t it because of the martial arts competition that has been harassing our professors?”

Ruin still has an indifferent face.

The tone of bullying was strangely intrusive, but from the professors’ point of view, I thought it was worth it.

Depending on the professor’s inclination, he deliberately had an argument or even ruined the atmosphere of the presentation.

He also submitted assignments that were covered in ancient theories, and argued for theories of schools competing with the Mage Tower.

There were even rumors that some professors locked themselves in their labs to refute the voice cadets’ assignments and only read sorcery books.

“The more fiercely you argue with professors, the more likely you are to get good grades,” he said.

Professor Helen is still smiling softly.

Ruin’s face darkened as if he was displeased with his hand being read.

“Your intention was half-successful. This is how I made the professors and the dean of this department come forward.”

What on earth do you keep trying to say?

If it was confirmed that he entered the battlefield, he should be punished according to the school rules.

Ruin could not understand the dean’s attitude of constantly ringing the rim.

“If you want to be punished, I will comply.”

At Ruin’s words, the Head of Hedayian laughed out loud.

“Heh heh heh! What kind of absurdity is that punishment? If they wanted to punish them, they would have to send someone from the Office of Education. Would I have asked to see you in the form of an outdoor class?”

“… … Please tell me what you want.”

At that moment, the head of Hedeian’s department began to sign in the air.

When the confused rays of magical light drew a spell with complex shapes and circuits.

A large magic ball was being summoned, distorting space.

sigh-

A fire that started to burn fiercely.

After reading the texture of the unique magic that the head of the department had unfolded, Ruin’s eyes had a strange look.

‘A manger fire?’

It is none other than Heirodos’s magic, manger fire.

However, it was not at the level of complete understanding and unfolding.

To the extent of imitating only the surface of the magic formula.

“Can you make this flame happen too?”

Ruin felt an unbearable doubt.

How the hell did you know?

“I saw with my own eyes the sight of you transforming Heirorhos’ spell.”

Shiron was staring blankly at the head of the department’s gray hair blowing in the wind.

I finally realized that the gray-haired identity that shimmered outside the laboratory window was the head of the department.

“Also, the investigation of the Great Battlefield has been completed. I was able to read the remaining magic power in a space where your dispel magic did not reach. So I was sure.”

“… … .”

As Ruin fell silent, the head of Hedeian’s faculty opened his eyes with joy.

“Cadet Louin Ryan. Did you pass on the magic of the great Heirodos perfectly?”

Perfect?

It’s not a word that a magician who is involved in magic can casually mention.

Even so, the dean of the department called Ruin’s magic perfect without hesitation.

“Like the head of the department, I can only imitate or barely make it.”

“Fhahahaha!”

At Ruin’s thrilling reply, the head of the Hedeian Department laughed so much that his back broke.

How dare you judge the magic of the sage of the kingdom of Lemadel at a clumsy level!

However, that word clearly meant that he had read the level of magic he had unfolded.

but then

Louise, who had been looking at the fire in the manger with curious eyes, walked slowly to mingle with the flames.

“Ah… … !”

ssssss-

The fire in the manger splits into long strips and gathers on Louise’s small palm.

As the mana, freed from the influence of the spell, moved wildly, the dean’s eyes widened as if tearing.

“okay! It was this child! It was this kid!”

I had goosebumps all over my body.

To be able to break through the caster’s spell without any resistance!

It was the first time in his life that he had the ability to have such a strong sympathy.

The head of Hedeian’s department took a careful look at the voice cadets.

Ruin, Shiron, Severon, Daphne, Lyria, Shurie.

Even if you look at the grain of magic that comes from them, most of them are genius students who can feel the level of the 3rd tier or higher.

Moreover, it is meaningless to evaluate the magic hierarchy for that sympathetic student.

“Professors, gather here.”

“yes! Faculty head!”

“yes.”

As the professors gathered, the head of Hedeian’s department revealed what he had been enduring.

“I intend to skip the grade exams for those cadets.”

Professor Gary Eldos stiffened with a blank expression.

“Hah, head of the department?”

Professor Helen, with a shocked expression, quickly shook her head.

“Well, that kind of thing is unprecedented! It’s an act of violating the academy’s traditions and school rules!”

“If the authority of the department head and all professors consent to it, the story will be different.”

“No, how could we agree to something like that… … ?”

The head of Hedeian’s department looked at the distant sky.

“Don’t you guys feel that these guys don’t need to be on the ground anymore? Do you dare to judge the successors of Heirorhos? How about that cadet of sympathy?”

“still… … .”

“What meaning does the grade point average from being a gradeless cadet mean to those guys? And are you not even curious? Speaking of the martial arts competition of the guy who inherited the magic of Heirodes.”

The cadets, who watched the scuffle between the dean and professors, felt that this moment was like a dream.

Did the dean of the department step forward and make improper solicitations to the professors?

Louin opened his mouth to the dean.

“I don’t like to draw attention.”

If they were given such an enormous privilege, rumors would spread out of control.

“This department head is stepping up directly. Moreover, isn’t it your desire to be free from the pressure of grades? Could you focus more on training?”

“… … .”

“Just get my favour. All good is good.”

It was an attractive enough proposal, but Ruin was uneasy.

It was too obvious what he was going to get out of such a tempting offer.

“I just have a small request from the head of the department.”

Has it finally come?

However, what the head of the department continued to say was far beyond what Ruin had expected.

“This Hedeian will serve as the advisor of the Voice Group.”

“… … .”

I simply expected Heirodos’ request for a magic demonstration or observation of combat practice.

However, when it comes to the guidance professor, it is different.

Ruin flatly refused.
