My na is Clariphon Saeli Thury. I am the eldest son of Viscount Clariphon of the Heedata Empire, and I am 16 years old, having entered Heedata Imperial University this spring.
There is a girl I am interested in. She is my classmate, Peris.
The first ti I saw her was during the entrance exam of the university. We happened to be sitting next to each other, and although her purple hair was very unusual, I was so taken by her beauty that I took the written exam without looking up. I tried to recover my mind and answered the questions, but honestly speaking, I did not have confidence in myself.
I was also intimidated by the practical test on magic that followed. Well, not only , but also the examiners.
In the practical test of magic, you are supposed to use the magic that you are good at. However, so of those who have been trained in magic since their childhood can use two or even three spells. In fact, I can use both wind and water magic. So, before the examination, the examiner called us like this.
Those who can use one magic should co to , those who can use two magic should co to Mr. Sario, and those who can use three magic should co to Mr. Shuse.
Everyone starts to move apart. I can use two, so I go to Dr. Sario's place, and I try to go there, but Peris has a puzzled look on her face. I get up the courage to talk to her.
"What's the matter?
"Well... if I can use four, where do I go?"
"Yo, four?"
I spoke out loud in front of a woman. But I had no choice. I was really surprised.
Anyway, when I told one of the examiners that she could do four spells, he gave a very skeptical look. Then, after the examiners got together to talk, only Peris was taken to another place.
Then the practical test began. Those who can use more than one kind of magic are first tested with the magic they are best at at maximum output. Most of them ran out of magic power after that. After a while, the rest of the magic is outputted and the test is carried out.
After I perford LV2 water barrette with my specialty water magic, I took a M! I drank a recovery potion and took a rest. Then I saw an unbelievable scene.
A huge pillar of fire was rising from Peris's place. It was supposed to be a burst of lvl. 3 fire magic. How is it possible for a 16 year old to control lvl. 3 magic? I couldn't help but think that I was M! I almost dropped my recovery dicine.
The examiners were frozen. Perris-chan, completely oblivious to the situation of the examiners, said
"Well... can I try shooting so other magic?"
"What? What about recovery dicine?"
"I think I'll be fine."
And with that, they started to perform magic one after the other. And all of them are above level 2! The water magic was even faster and more powerful than my water barrette. It was probably level 3. As expected, the examiner started to panic. It is true...at the age of 16, one can use LV3 magic. I honestly couldn't believe it either.
After being surrounded by the examiners for a while, Peris was taken away. She must have a lot of skills that I have no clue about. But there is one thing I do know. She has been admitted to the Imperial University. I knew that for sure.
To be honest, I was not sure if I had been accepted to the Imperial University or not. But if I did not pass, I could say that I would have little chance to et her. If I fail, I will have to go back to Clariphon territory. Then the only ti I would be able to co to the capital would be for the social gatherings held once a month. But since the capital is far from Clarifon, I will be able to co only once in February or March. Then I would have no chance to see her at all.
For the first ti, I went to the church of my own will. I had been going to church halfway out of obligation, but for this one ti I wanted to go to church. I prayed to the Lord God, Klimiana, to let pass the entrance examination of Teito University.
Perhaps my prayers were answered, I was accepted. For the first ti in my life, I was so happy that I cried.
As soon as I entered the university, I found Peris-chan. It's that hair color. I recognized her imdiately. And her beauty...
She was a special student and would be studying in the sa classroom as us nobles. The boys were calm for the mont, but it was clear that they were all aware of Peris.
To our surprise, she was a relative of the Marquis de Berthau, a rising aristocrat. The Barsaam family is a prominent family that serves as the Pri Minister of the Kingdom of Juka, which has long had a hostile relationship with the Empire. After the Juka Kingdom was destroyed by the Great Demon King, they defected to the Empire. Although the current head of the family is an adopted son, he is married to His Majesty's younger sister, Princess Licolette, and has been given the title of honorary Marquis of the Empire, but the family has deep ties with the Imperial Family.
Naturally, she is a good match for us nobles. After all, she has a connection to the Bartham family. That ans that she will be connected to the imperial family.
But soon she began to isolate herself from the rest of the class. Because her lifestyle is completely different from ours, her behavior patterns are different.
For example, eating. Basically, we ate in the salons in the university. It is a room that only the children of aristocrats have access to, and it also serves as a place to make various connections for when I take over the family.
However, Peris does not eat there. She always sits on the lawn of the university or eats in the library. What surprised the most is that she is the one who prepares the als. Cooking als is sothing a maid or a slave does, not sothing a nobleman does. So female students used to ridicule her for it. But in the House of Batham, every woman cooks her als, even the Princess Ricoulette cooks everyone's als.
I beca more and more interested in Ms. Peris.
One day, she was unusually alone in the classroom. She was writing sothing in her mind. I was a little worried, but I decided to talk to her.
"Oh, um, aren't you going ho?"
"What? Oh, I'm sorry..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I must have interrupted sothing."
Oh, no, no, I was just thinking about the dinner nu and it got a little late."
"Dinner nu... what kind of food?"
"I'm thinking of making gratin, but I'm wondering if I can improve the taste of the sauce..."
"The taste of the sauce, sir?"
Cooking is interesting. One pinch of salt makes all the difference in the taste.
"It's amazing."
No, it's not like that. The food you make is much tastier.
"What? Does the Honorable Marquis de Berthau also cook als?"
"Sotis. But they are very tasty.
"Wow... I'd like to try it.
"Well, next ti, shall I bring you sothing?"
"What? Is that okay?"
"I don't mind.
"Oh, um, my na is Clariphon Saeri-Thury."
"I am Peris. I'm Peris. I believe you were the one who guided through the magic test, weren't you?
"You rember ?"
"Of course, of course!
This is how I and Peris beca friends (?). I am now. He even made sothing for . This must be a blessing from Lady Klimiana. I must go to the church in the capital to pray next ti.
I am looking forward to my college life.
