22 – Magic Briefing (1)

Sherry served Amelia tea with a puzzled expression. She touched her swollen right cheek.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

Hersy asked with an awkward smile.

“Yes. This tidying up is common, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“…… It’s a very common thing.”

“Rather than that, please take it easy.”

“No. It can’t be.”

Handmaids and maids are different. Maids are commoners, but ladies-in-waiting are much more advanced.

Adjust the host’s schedule, teach her etiquette, and help her maintain her dignity. In effect, a role close to an attendant.

Since commoners cannot do such an important task, of course, a highly educated aristocrat should do it.

So, even a lady-in-waiting could not carelessly treat her. Moreover, she was the handmaid of the House of Windsor.

“Big.”

Amelia, who looked a bit sloppy, cleared her throat as if she was ashamed. Ruid scolded.

“I should have done it in moderation.”

“… Sorry.”

Louis stabbed Sherry’s cheek with her cane.

The blue light hovered around and the swollen area subsided.

Sherry lowered her head.

“Thank you. Young master.”

“Sherry too. Don’t be too hard on your sister.”

“I will try. As long as the lady abides by her rules.”

“That sounds interesting Sherry. Do you want to be hit again?”

“I don’t avoid fights.”

Amelia and Sherry’s eyes met. It was a war of nerves that seemed like an electric current was bouncing.

‘It’s nice to be reminded of my family home.’

Even before coming to the academy, Sherry and Amelia didn’t get along. Seeing the two of them arguing reminded me of a mansion located in the far north.

If you go out to the backyard and ride a snowboard down a bit, you will see cute polar bears.

The 18-headed snake demon was affectionate enough to give it the name Medusa.

Big ones like that are good, but the highest peak was the arctic fox.

It looks like a small Samoyed, but at first glance I thought it was a puppy.

They were all good friends. Is it because we live in a desolate modern society? The northern nature, almost untouched by mankind, was new every day.

Above all, my older sister and mother who are infinitely warm to me. Even though they are a bit chic, the ladies-in-waiting take good care of them. They are all good people.

In contrast, the academy…….

“Ha ha.”

I can only sigh. There was nothing to frown at at home, though. Here’s something to keep an eye on.

“What’s wrong, Ruid? Are you uncomfortable with anything?”

“Shall we hit the academy?”

Ruid’s true intentions went out unintentionally.

The surest way to avoid being caught up in an encounter with a group of main characters.

Besides, the method is also peaceful. No harm to anyone

“Yes, yes?”

Hersy stood up in surprise.

Her pupils were shaking.

‘In fact, the goal has already been accomplished.’

Ruid’s boring eyes contained Hercy.

Half of the people who came to the academy were Hercy.

When I read the original, I have a very sad memory.

But now it seems that Hercy has avoided the cliché of being the villain.

I’ve dealt with it properly, so I won’t touch it for too long.

The other half was afraid that the main character, Justin, would die if he wasn’t there……

‘Do I really need it?’

Ruid was a character who slept in the ‘Lake of Delrin’ and came out to help the main character once in a while when he couldn’t handle it.

In other words, the expected value of ‘lazy Ruid’ lies in its overwhelming power itself. And I think it can be replaced with ‘Sword Princess Amelia’.

Amelia is quite strong. She’s never mentioned in the original story, but she’s more than enough to play the Joker in upcoming episodes.

‘Do you really just hit me?’

I heard a momentary temptation.

“Wait a minute! Are you quitting the academy?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“Wait, why?”

Hersy’s eyes became damp.

“Who are you?”

In addition, Amelia became serious.

“Who bullied you? Is that Justin the anime?”

“Maybe…… Is it because of me? Because I was bothering you.”

“Just say one word. I’ll make it invisible the next day.”

“… ….”

Ruid blinked her eyes at the two of them who were quite overreacting.

‘Shall we put it on hold for now?’

Looking at Amelia’s reaction, she said that if she hit her, she would hold someone accountable. Maybe Justin.

And Hersido, she wasn’t taken as a villain in the original work for nothing.

She’s herself, she’s from Windsor, so she’s kind.

Still, it seemed like it was time to watch more.

Above all-

‘I can’t put my work off someone else.’

Because I wasn’t really a child.

“A bastard.”

Clifford stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the sunlight reflected in the office, I turned my back.

For some reason, it contained the smile of a victor.

“What happened?”

Louis said, slightly averting her eyes.

“Has anything happened recently?”

“There was.”

It was a conscious question that she wondered if there was an event she didn’t know about, but I was surprised to hear that there really is.

“A major incident in which the walls of the Colosseum, which had been protecting this great imperial academy for 300 years, collapsed.”

“… ….”

Ruid lost her words.

“The repair cost is 120,000 gold. If you consider the cost of the old highland that you guys blew up last time, it’s over 500,000 gold.”

Clifford was elated.

‘Why do you think you’re so excited?’

Ruid trembled.

“Why, no matter how you are…… Are you afraid of being charged this staggering amount? Ha ha ha!”

Clifford smiled coolly.

It was the expression of a tooth that had been suffering for 30 years.

“I knew you would come, you bastard! The Windsor family’s educational policy is notorious for being very strict. Especially that icy Duke of Windsor can’t stand still…….”

‘That’s fine.’

Ruid knew how rich her own family was.

The Duchy of Windsor is a land rich in rare minerals, instead of being in a barren environment.

But Ruid decided to suit Clifford’s mood.

“Yes. I was very upset.”

From noble mtl dot com

“hahahahaha!”

Clifford laughed as the sky went away.

‘… What’s wrong with this old man?’

Anyway, it was easy because you looked good.

“Please do me one favor.”

“Please? You bastard, who has all the world, do you have anything to ask of me?”

“If you listen to that, I’ll give you 500,000 gold.”

Flinch.

Clifford’s body trembled.

“…… Does that include the hammocks in the Forest of Ages?”

Louise nodded her head.

“Because I broke that too.”

“Keuheum, Keum, Keum.”

Clifford covered his mouth and coughed several times.

He gestured, and he sat down on the hospitality couch. He crossed his leg. Louis sat down.

“What was your request?”

“‘Lark’s Bead’. Could you hand it over to me?”

“What?”

Clifford said it was absurd.

“You bastard, you want me to hand over that report for only 500,000 gold? No Isn’t 500,000 gold supposed to be paid, so it’s free?”

The 500,000 gold, which was an exaggeration, was disguised as it should have been.

Ruid decided not to care.

“You’ve been researching for almost 90 years, but nothing has come of it. I know that research stopped about 20 years ago. Isn’t it a pity?”

“Huh, that guy is really good. How else did you know that?”

Lark’s Orb was the Life Force left by Lark, a lich who was researching immortality 100 years ago.

He caused great harm to the world for eternal life, and at that time, the knights formed by the Imperial Academy were kept in return for defeating Lark.

“You bastard. That was a great achievement of the Imperial Academy in the past. Do you know what a great honor it is even if you do not have research results?”

Clifford left out the fact that the annual tourism revenue from the ‘Lark’s Marble’ reached 100,000 gold.

Of course, Ruid knew that too.

‘So that’s the problem.’

The big accident that is about to happen is because Lark’s orb is openly exposed.

He was imprisoned in a transparent glass coffin with all sorts of magical devices, but some kind of black magic broke out.

The lich, who has been quietly waiting for a counterattack in Lark’s beads, wakes up and possesses ‘Nia Ryan’.

Great chaos ensues, and many people die. After that, Rich searches the surroundings to make his hideout, and the target was ‘Lake of Delrin’, which has the highest concentration of his magical power.

Yes. He went back into the tomb himself. It was because the indolent Ruid quickly subdued the uninvited guest. And so the case is settled……

I don’t know exactly when.

That’s right, there’s no calendar in the novel.

That means that he sleeps most of the day, so there’s a high chance he’ll fight while he’s sleeping.

I hate being stressed out already. He quickly decided to break his orb.

“You want a special product from such a great academy as a bonus? Hey, I heard that there are more people doing it, eh.”

I received 100,000 gold every year, but I couldn’t give up because of 500,000 gold.

Ruid pulled out his secret weapon at this point.

“If you give it to me, I will hand it over to my Magic Fair Copyright Academy.”

“What, what?”

Clifford’s eyes widened.

But it soon got rough.

“Why do you leave that behind, you bastard!”

‘His personality is completely unknown.’

Ruid was taken aback.

“Did I look like an unscrupulous person who robbed you of your merits?”

“I was referring to the copyright of the video of my magic presentation.”

Clifford asked quietly.

“… Are you going to take a picture?”

Ruid nodded his head.

“If only you could give me the Orb of Lark.”

Clifford cleared his throat.

“Then the story will be different again.”

Video copyright refers to the right to sell the crystal ball that recorded a special wizard’s lecture.

In the case of a lecture by a named wizard, the price ranged from several million gold to at least hundreds of thousands of gold depending on the contents.

Currently, Ruid was the center of the hottest topic in the Magic Society.

A briefing on the great magic that destroyed the Colosseum.

A wizard can’t stand this. Even if you can’t do it, eat 1 million gold and start.

“Kuhmm… “

An offer you can’t refuse.

But I was told to knock on the stone bridge and cross it.

“You bastard, what are you going to do with that? Are you really interested in eternal life?”

“I just want to do some research. Just a curiosity.”

“Research would be a waste of time?”

Clifford gave a sneaky look.

“Even after 90 years of research by the world’s best wizards, not a speck of dust came out. There’s nothing in it The magic of the Life Force was scattered in the air when Lark died, and it is just an ordinary marble. But are you willing to pay such a huge amount to get it?”

“It wasn’t something I researched.”

That was a very arrogant statement.

However, it was also understandable.

“Hmm, the intention is questionable. Good night. If the purpose is research, I will give it to you.”

Ruid’s expression brightened.

“However, I will never trust you lazy bastard. Let’s start with the magic briefing session.”

In a word, if you want to receive it quickly, you should hold a briefing session soon.

Louise nodded her head.

I just don’t know the exact date, because it’s a long way from the Richie incident.

**

Right after Ruid left, Phenicia approached.

“What happened?”

“What will happen?”

“It’s strange. They’re all shy guys, but there’s someone who pampers them saying that the only thing doing their part properly is Lark’s beads. You’re not going to say anything.”

“Huh? When did I say I would give it to you?”

Clifford threw his hands behind his back and laughed sinisterly.

“I said I would ‘borrow’ it. Ha ha, ha ha ha!”

Giving it for research purposes was a term that would only be used until the end of the academy.

Ruid couldn’t claim ownership because he didn’t write a separate contract.

“Finally, I got a shot. Ha ha ha!”

Phenicia said, “My God… ” He muttered and touched his forehead.

Cheating on a 12-year-old and leaving the world. The smiling face of her father……

I couldn’t bear to see with both eyes open.
