Alia was sitting at her desk looking haggard.
Her normally dewy skin was dull and she had dark circles.
It was due to an ‘incident’ that Irene had recently warned about. Because of this, I couldn’t sleep well or go ho for about 5 days.
‘Let’s close our eyes for a mont.’
Still, things had been sorted out to so extent. All that was left to do was wait, so Alia tried to get a good night’s sleep for the first ti in a long ti.
“leader! “We’re in big trouble!”
However, before I could even close my eyes, I heard a sound and straightened my posture.
Gilbert burst through the door and gasped.
“Prince Luid! “The leader’s younger brother!”
Alia opened her eyes that had slowly closed. I jumped out of my seat and stood up.
“Lu, what happened to Luid? “What did you break in your sleep again this ti?”
Gilbert quickly took out the object he had hidden in his hand and pulled it out.
Beep.
With a loud noise, colorful papers landed on Alia’s head.
It was an artifact called a ‘surprise celebration’. Because it is cheap, it is mainly used on commoners’ birthdays.
“….”
Alia’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Gilbert was startled and quickly explained.
“Chu, congratulations. The leader’s younger brother achieved remarkable achievents. “Well, I guess I caught a warlock.”
“Warlock?”
“To be exact, their minions. According to the results of the investigation, it was said that it had been sleeping within the academy for a long ti. If you look at the square around Every Library, you can see the warlock’s minions sealed by Prince Ruid. haha!”
Gilbert smiled brightly, but Alia did not smile.
“…haha.”
Gilbert said with a straight face and a rigid posture.
“sorry.”
“…Sir Gilbert. “If you lose a player to soone who is five years younger than you, feel ashad.”
Alia sighed and flipped through the docunts.
“Luid is not a fairy who magically removes our mistakes. Please don’t bother . “Shut down Every Library imdiately and make this an unwritten rule.”
Ruid was already feeling skeptical about the Academy.
Alia knew Lloyd well. If that child keeps trying to bother soone, he will run away.
Moreover, it was a case they were already pursuing. It is true that there is a being in the system who is presud to be a warlock, committing cris.
Although Ruid shrugged his shoulders because he had done sothing great, Alia felt even more embarrassed. And I was worried that this would reach Irene’s ears.
If it’s Irene, I’m sure…
-Why don’t you quit the academy and co work on snow removal? There doesn’t seem to be any reason for you to be there.
It was obvious that I would say that.
“Uh… Well, I think that might be difficult.”
Gilbert said, wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief.
“Rumors have already spread widely within the academy. Above all, it’s too… public to hide.”
“Public?”
“yes. The existing Every Library has been destroyed and sealed with a spear stuck in the air. “You can see everything just by passing by.”
Alia’s eyes trembled anxiously.
“Then… what is the Academy’s response?”
“I think they are thinking of making an official statent. It’s not like there’s a fuss in the magic world asking for explanations…”
“What, what?”
“Because it is great magic. From what I heard, it’s one level different from existing magic.”
Gilbert paused as he spoke. Because Alia’s expression was very bad.
“It’s a good thing… isn’t it?”
Alia ruffled her hair. Cold sweat broke out.

Delrin’s lake was no different from Ruid’s master bedroom.
It is sowhat cut off from the outside world, and the only people who can co and go are relatives.
But that personal space was being invaded.
Clifford was giving a sermon to Lloyd with his back turned.
“Noob top. This incident could no longer be dismissed as just a joke. Reveal the case properly. “Warlocks are an evil that should not exist.”
Ruid was very stressed by Clifford coming to Delrin’s lake and talking to him, but he kept the minimum level of courtesy.
“I was sleeping in a place I liked, and soone attacked , so I just reacted instinctively.”
“Are you saying that magic was sothing you suddenly used while you were sleeping? Don’t say anything funny. It takes at least a week to use such perfect magic. “No matter how genius you are, you cannot violate the laws of magic.”
Clifford said coldly.
“In other words, all I can say is that you knew in advance that the warlock’s minions would appear.”
“I didn’t know.”
Ruid was in trouble.
It’s been like this since before. Even if I tell the truth, they won’t believe .
The situation is expected. It seems that the ‘magic cup’ reacts to his magic, and infinite power is realized and the spear is maintained.
I don’t know if I should even ntion this, but…
Starting with how the holy relic was discovered, I wonder if it was covered up… Prove it.
It was obvious that it would be more annoying this way.
And I don’t know why I have to tell you the results of my reasoning.
I was hoping to figure this out through research. If you can’t figure it out, it’s a lack of ability.
“…I’m not trying to reprimand you. “Luid.”
Clifford crouched down and made eye contact with the sullen Ruid.
“That’s how serious this incident is. If you have trouble answering about magic, just say this. “Where is the warlock?”
Ruid looked blankly at the sky.
sun. And two satellites. One of them is still visible. You can find out the date with that.
It was half covered.
That ant it wasn’t the right ti, and there was nothing Ruid could say.
“I really don’t know. “Please leave now.”
“…Then at least tell what you know.”
Ruid kept his mouth shut. It was a repetition of the sa words from before. When I tell the truth, they question and say, ‘You know the truth, right?’
‘I really don’t like it.’
My chest was tight and my head hurt.
Ruid wanted to rest. Without thinking.
But it keeps making think.
For Ruid, this situation itself was stressful. I wanted to avoid it quickly.
Clifford looked at Ruid and spoke in a low voice.
“I think you’re misunderstanding sothing. This issue is on a different level. Warlocks disturb the order of the world. Don’t you know that covering it up even though you know ans you could also beco an accomplice?”
Clifford’s speaking style was forceful.
He was in the position of president for a long ti. This was because this thod of speaking was effective for students.
“If you are a noble, fulfill your duties as a noble. “If you were born well and lived easier than others, you must have a sense of responsibility.”
To Ruid, it felt like the president was saying, ‘If you are possessed by the world’s most powerful person, act accordingly.’
Is it because I was stabbed or because I was annoyed?
For the first ti since being possessed by this world, Ruid beca angry.
“Then what about commoners?”
“what?”
“They say the equivalent is the Academy. Are you saying that we are taking away the rights of nobles but also taking responsibility for them?”
“Four years at most. Can’t you bear even a mont of absurdity? After graduation, a great noble like you is going to live the rest of his life complaining. “If you put yourself in their shoes even for a mont, it is a valuable experience that will beco your life and flesh later on.”
Ruid was born in democracy.
So, I knew that the first emperor’s opinion, ‘I hope for equality at least within the academy’ was a very progressive concept.
Although it may be dismissed as bullshit by those in the caste system, the value of equality is one of the few correct answers that humanity has found.
But the president’s logic was unbearable.
Strong power cos with strong costs?
Should we give to others?
Of course it was possible.
Ruid himself also had the desire to prevent too great a risk.
Because you can do it and it’s not difficult.
But I was very annoyed when soone else asked for it.
“And you bastard! Aren’t you already living your own way enough? I don’t take classes, and I live my life doing whatever I want. Give just this once! Take charge of an investigation team. “When it cos to digging into the truth about warlocks, there’s no one with as much talent as you…”
When Ruid heard the word ‘investigation team,’ he felt sothing in his heart snap.
“I don’t like it.”
“What, you idiot!”
“Why should I do that?”
“Dark magic inevitably brings destruction! Could it be that a wizard would deny its value?”
World order, what peace?
I don’t know why I even care about that.
For Ruid, inner peace was more important.
But now my inner peace is threatened.
“It’s not my role to catch a warlock. I am just a student, and it is the academy’s responsibility to protect students from warlocks. Do it yourself. “The president is also a great wizard.”
And to put it bluntly, I don’t know what it was, but if it wasn’t for him, as the president said, a big disaster would have happened.
Didn’t he stop it anyway?
Then you helped . You can’t ask them to do more there.
Luid’s blue eyes stared at Clifford.
“Please don’t take favors as your right, President. And, I decided to do it because of the president.”
Ruid was angry, but said the words he had kept in his heart for a long ti.
“I’m going to hit the academy.”
**
I thought Ruid had endured a lot.
Just seeing the rude words and actions of commoners was stressful.
There was a lot of hate flying around.
Commoners are always dissatisfied. The sa goes for the president. That old man, it’s annoying how he yells every ti he talks.
Ruid hated loud noises. Whenever I see soone like that, I always feel the urge to cast a silence spell on them.
But the reason I was able to endure it was because the blade of hate had never been pointed at .
I always took a step back and watched. Even if aggro occurred occasionally, I would end up frowning.
But the mont that hatred is directed towards you –
“I’m sick of it now.”
I’m sick of it.
I understood why the ‘lazy Ruid’ of the original was extrely reluctant to allow others to enter Delrin’s lake.
He knew it. Other people are hell.
Ruid told everything to Hercy.
I’m leaving the academy.
I’ve been patient enough, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Hersi’s eyes trembled subtly as she listened to the story.
“Tell this to your sister too.”
Ruid was not in his usual uniform.
It was a fluffy robe.
“Lu, Ruid…”
Tears ford at the corners of Hercy’s eyes.
“Do you really have to leave?”
“…Why are you talking like it’s the last ti?”
Ruid wiped away Hercy’s tears.
“But, but… you’re going back to the North.”
“It’s not?”
“…yes?”
“It will be in the system. “The villa is here.”
Hersi sniffed and stopped crying.
“Weren’t you going back north?”
Ruid nodded.
“Because A-san is here. “You’ll be sad if I go.”
Hersy was a good friend.
Alia was family.
So, Ruid wanted to stay here for a while.
Because you can go to the north anyti.
“Instead of.”
I had no regrets when leaving the academy.
But what bothered was Hersy. It doesn’t matter because Alia is strong, but Hercy is a character who becos a villain in the original work and faces a devastated ending.
Ruid held out the fox.
“I’ll lend you this.”
[Yes, yes?]
Miho was embarrassed and turned her head to Ruid. Ruid stared and said.
“You protect Hersi.”
[It’s not difficult, but…]
“You don’t like it?”
[no. I also like Hercy.]
Let’s provide the minimum safety asures.
“Luid…”
Hercy looked at him with touched eyes. It looked just like a deer.
“With this, it will be easy to find . Because it’s connected. “Tell it to your sister, too.”
Hersi nodded, accepting the fox. And then he asked carefully.
“…Can I co visit you?”
“huh. whenever.”
Hercy’s expression brightened.
Ruid waved his hand at Hercy.
“Bye. See you later.”
“yes!”
The steps to leave were light.
Before leaving the academy, I looked back one last ti.
‘You’ll regret it, old man.’
