Episode 70. Suggestion and counter-proposal
I was at a loss for words at the sudden words.
I thought I would be questioned in my heart, but I didn’t know that I would propose to change the departnt, let alone questioned.
“Of course, I know it’s a sudden proposal, but from the academy’s point of view, I want to pay more attention to talented people like Adrias.”
“Thank you for your words, but… … .”
Of course, it is certain that now I focus more on swords than magic.
To put it bluntly, his ability as a necromancer would be the strongest, but this is out of the question as it cannot be used carelessly.
However, since he was learning the selfless sword he had learned from Deshurn, he didn’t think he needed to improve his sword skills by changing schools.
I still need a lab for potion production and I plan to gradually learn other magics, so I didn’t think about the Knights Faculty at all.
“I want to remain in the Faculty of Magic.”
“Can I hear the reason?”
“I can’t give up easily considering the potions I’ve been researching lately, and above all, the efforts my father put into making a wizard.”
“Student Adrias.”
Deos called my na in a low but powerful voice.
“There is a saying called selection and concentration. Student Adrias has a talent for swords. As an educator, it’s hard to just sit back and watch the fact that he would give up his talent and choose the path of a wizard.”
Why did you bother to transfer to the Knights Faculty?
I looked into Deos’s eyes to understand his intentions.
Let’s think of sothing that would benefit him if I transferred to the Engineering Departnt.
‘Maybe it’s because he’s an old man who’s about to retire, so he wants to make sothing worth celebrating. But I can’t rember anything in particular.’
As I stayed silent, Deos eventually stepped back and buried himself on the sofa.
“Student Adrias. How about this? If you change to the Faculty of Engineering, we will give you a full scholarship as the principal’s privilege, as well as additional bonuses for graduation.”
If you co this far, you will fall behind even more.
It is said that Deos will have an advantage if I go to the Faculty of Engineering, but I don’t know if that will benefit or harm .
The important thing is that Deos will never look at you favorably if you reject the current offer.
‘Still, I have no intention of going to the Knights Faculty.’
Full Scholarship Additional Points.
I like both.
However, if you ask if the compensation is enough to transfer the departnt, well.
Most of all, it was difficult to accept the offer unless Deos told her the real purpose.
“I also believe in my magical talents.”
“Huh… … .”
Theos, who let out a sigh close to sighing, finally nodded.
“You say so much… … . All right. I just said this in hopes of doing well as an educator, but it seems that my greed got ahead of . I will apologize.”
I almost frowned when I saw Deos, who suddenly stood up and bowed down.
This brazen old man was trying to instill guilt in by changing his strategy.
Ordinary people have the psychology that the mont they feel sorry, they have to compensate for sothing.
“no. It can be.”
I tried to relax my expression and stood up like him and shook my hand.
So after getting up from each other’s seats and having an uncomfortable ti, we sat down again.
“Adrias’ performance in this tournant was outstanding. Not only , but all the spectators present must have thought that. In fact, one of the spectators of this tournant was the principal of Mirco Academy.”
I was wondering what else to talk about, but the word “Mirco Academy” opened my ears.
“Unfortunately, he watched from the semi-finals. In the anti, he heard the story of student Adrias who had a close match with Diene Alven, the winner this ti, and expressed a lot of interest. Wasn’t this tournant a series of surprises, such as the first winner from the Faculty of Magic in 12 years? The principal of Mirco Academy, who confird that fact, wanted the academies of both sides to hold an exchange eting as soon as possible to get to know each other.”
Exchange eting?
It’s a story that never happened in the ga.
Besides, there was another playable in Mirco Academy.
‘I can’t imagine the future where the tournant contents have changed will continue like this.’
As I quietly listened, Theos continued talking.
“I accepted the exchange eting because I thought it was not bad. A total of 10 students from Mirco Academy are invited this ti. All of them are high-ranking students. And I have to guide them and select students to live with, and I want to share that opportunity with Adrias.”
I don’t know why the story of changing the departnt continues like this.
Of course, it was a minor story compared to the change of faculty.
‘Am I going to bring up an unreasonable story due to the change of departnt and entrust the exchange eting, which is a little smaller?’
If you ask for a big request and then ask for a relatively small one, there is a high probability that it will be granted.
Besides, he even tried to instill guilt in with his earlier apology.
If I hadn’t known the intention, I would have accepted the offer even with a sorry heart.
‘I’m worried.’
I wanted to refuse it because I felt like I was being played by Deos’ tricks, but I hesitated because it was also an opportunity to build a relationship with Mirco Academy’s playables.
You can’t abandon your rational judgnt because of that emotional consumption.
But I’m a little pissed off to just agree, so I’ll have to rip sothing off.
“Principal Theos.”
“yes. Have you decided?”
“Thank you for giving this opportunity, but I have a request.”
“ask? Please… … ?”
“I want to use a private laboratory assigned only to seniors.”
Was it such an outrageous statent?
Theos asked with a slightly puzzled expression.
“That Adrias student. The exchange eting with Mirco Academy is an ‘opportunity’ given to Adrias students by our academy. I don’t think you know what that ans, but this isn’t a transaction, it’s what we literally ‘give’.”
“Mrs. Deos.”
I lowered my voice and tucked my chin in my mouth.
“I am not stupid.”
It ended with just one word.
As I set the mood to the fullest, I saw Deos’ poker face collapse for a mont and then co back again.
“Hum hum. That’s the story. Of course, I thought you understood, but the student asked an outrageous request… … .”
“All right. Then let’s pretend this story didn’t exist.”
I took a sip of the cold tea and poured another cup.
Then, slowly savoring the incense, I set my eyes elsewhere.
“So that ans… … .”
“Exchange eting. I will not participate.”
It must have been such an unexpected refusal that Deos’s mouth was open but did not close.
Of course, I wasn’t really willing to refuse.
I was just trading my guts, knowing that Theos would turn around and accept my offer if he really wanted to attend the exchange.
‘A private lab isn’t such a big deal. In fact, Diene has already been using her private laboratory since last year.’
Of course, Diene was able to do so because of her position as the chief among her peers and the influence of the Rodelian Magic Tower right next to her.
In any case, it wasn’t a difficult request as there was a precedent.
“That’s cool. So you’re saying that Adrias won’t participate in the exchange eting with Mirco Academy? A chance to share your skills and interact with top students from other academies?”
“Again, I am not an idiot.”
Watching Deos’ poker face tremble slightly, I put a wedge into it.
“At this point, I think you understand what I an.”
I know everything from the ti you first proposed to the current proposal.
You have to pay the price to use to your advantage.
Deos’s eyes cald down as if he finally realized the aning of my words.
composure? no. It would be more accurate to say cold rather than calm.
“okay. It was like that.”
After speaking to himself a couple of tis, Deos imdiately got up and sat down in front of the office desk.
Then he took out a piece of paper and wrote sothing.
“Adrias Cromwell. I was stupid, as you should have guessed from the ti I showed it in the tournant.”
He soon picked up the completed paper and handed it to .
“You’ve decided not to hide it now. No, we have been fooled all this ti.”
The paper was a private laboratory registration certificate and the accompanying permit.
I just lowered my head slightly, not responding to his words.
“thank you.”
“It was nothing. The exchange eting with Mirco Academy is from next week, so you should know in advance.”
“yes. Has confird.”
As if we had promised, we finished talking and parted ways.
Being able to use a private laboratory is a good thing.
The private laboratory is unmatched in its cri prevention and security.
It’s a place no one can enter without my permission, unless I’m caught being a warlock and investigated.
This was a place only for , as the deans and principals were no exception.
‘Besides, unlike a public lab, it can be used without a ti limit.’
Of course, it’s a place you get when you graduate, but receiving it a year early ans that you saved that much ti.
For who knows the future, that year was by no ans light.
* * *
Deos looked at the seat left after Adrias had left.
‘Is it a coincidence? Or do you know that?’
In the world, he had a reputation as a benevolent scholar, but in fact he had a hidden secret.
wheein.
As he waved his hand, the wind followed.
Deos, who was not a wizard and had the sa level of mana as ordinary people, lightly covered the wind.
Deos Canyon.
He was a spirit summoner who summoned spirits.
Summoners are classified differently from wizards.
Unlike wizards, in the case of a summoner, regardless of the amount of mana in the body, there was only affinity for the summoned beast and strength according to the growth of the summoned beast.
Therefore, it was easy for most summoners to be misunderstood as ordinary people due to the amount of mana they possessed.
‘I don’t know. I don’t know.’
A little while ago, Deos tried to send the wind spirit along with Adrias when he left.
However, just before leaving the door, Adrias suddenly radiated mana to the outside and bounced the spirits away.
‘The timing was too good to be a coincidence.’
Spirits are invisible and difficult to detect unless you have spirit affinity.
In particular, among the spirits, the wind spirit was not easy to detect even if it was an aura master.
Deos, who had goosebumps on his arm for an instant, brushed his body.
‘Could it be that he even has affinity with spirits?’
no. that went too far
It’s surprising that he has two mana stores, but he also has affinity for spirits.
There’s no way such a person exists.
‘But then how… … .’
Looking out the window, I saw Adrias walking calmly.
Maybe he felt his gaze, but as he tried to turn his head this way, Deos unknowingly hid out of his sight and burst out laughing.
“under! ha ha ha!”
After laughing for a while at his actions, he shook his head and sat down.
From the previous conversation to the insight into the intention of the action.
‘Adrias Cromwell. I don’t know what you’re hiding… … .’
One thing is certain.
The Adrias of today is not the Adrias of before.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
He played with the wind in his hand and smiled quietly.
