92 – Hatchling wakes up (4)

“Then what about me?”

“Um… Prince Louis seems to be very angry this time, so it’s hard to just let it go. If things go well, you’ll be expelled… ?”

Phenicia was perplexed and spoke. She says expelling a student is always a difficult decision.

“That… how this Harsh.”

Klein’s eyes were watery.

I grabbed Phenicia’s hand.

“Pe, Phenicia Vice President. How can you not? I swear to heaven that I did not commit the shameless act of copying someone’s exam papers.”

“Uh, that…… Klein student.”

If Clifford was a hot-hearted man, Phenicia was a realist.

-That bastard is a sleepy dragon. Don’t even think about taking advantage of him, and don’t go against his heart. He’s the most helpful when it comes to sleeping.

… Even if it wasn’t for Clifford’s advice, Phenicia did not want to offend the Duke of Windsor, who had authority next to the emperor.

“Whether true or not, you should have accepted Prince Louis when he objected. He would have been better off cheating than going against Young master.”

“Doesn’t that make sense? I haven’t committed any crimes, so how… !”

Phenicia smiled softly.

“Klein student. The student also knows that in the past, a commoner expelled him for stealing his exam papers. Same thing. The facts don’t matter.”

That doesn’t really make sense.

Nonsense, Klein thought.

The gap between the commoners and the great nobility is huge.

But it was Minerva and Windsor, the same great nobles. Although it was a small family compared to Windsor, Minerva was not in a position to suffer such a one-sided injustice.

“…… I just won’t get over it. Minerva will remember this.”

“Ugh, hmm.”

Phenicia was in trouble.

“…… Did the academy seem easy enough?”

Phenicia scratched her own head.

“The Imperial Academy is not going to be shaken just by pretending to be with Minerva. Please go back Klein Minerva, you are expelled.”

Feels like your heart is dropping.

Klein barely spoke.

“The Disciplinary Committee… Please let me open it too.”

“No, no.”

Phenicia smiled awkwardly and shook her hands.

“This is my opinion. Please file your complaint with the Imperial Family, not the Academy. Probably to no avail.”

Klein instantly remembered what he had heard about Phenicia one day.

‘Professor Phenicia would be better than President Clifford! Professor Phenicia is kind!’

No.

Phenicia was much more resolute and cruel than Clifford.

Klein walked with a soulless expression.

I stood in front of a mansion located in the heart of the islands. The employee hurriedly ran out and greeted him.

“Do, boy. For some reason, at this time… ?”

From noble mtl dot com

Cleaning the mansion isn’t over yet.

Klein smiled softly as usual, as if to reassure him.

“I came back a little early because I had something to do. The meal is fine, so you can get some rest.”

‘As expected, he’s a good person.’

The butler thought so and bowed.

“Yes, I will be waiting, so please call me anytime.”

“Okay.”

Klein entered the mansion with a smile on his face. She smiled and greeted each passing lady-in-waiting. The ladies-in-waiting passed by, blushing.

The ladies-in-waiting passed by.

Klein changed in an instant.

The face was frowning like a demon.

She strode towards her room.

I pulled the lever hidden between the bookshelves.

Kurr-

With a slight noise, the passage to the cellar opened.

It was on the way to Klein’s magic workshop.

“Damn, damn.”

Cline cursed and ran down the stairs.

“Ella! Ella!”

I looked around while calling someone’s name.

There, I saw Ella sitting at a desk looking haggard.

“Hey, Klein-sama.”

“Damn it b*tch!”

Damn it!

“Kyaaak!”

Klein slapped Ella on the cheek.

Ella fell off her desk and rolled her body like a bean worm. Soon, irresistible violence broke out.

“Didn’t you declare that you won’t get caught! Do you know what happened to me because of you!”

Klein glared at Ella as if to kill him. Her kicks didn’t fly anymore, but Ella shuddered at her.

“I reaped the humble thing, so I repay the favor this way!”

“Sorry… do.”

Klein’s hands trembled in anger.

I wanted to kill him right away.

It wasn’t difficult to kill this lowly b*tch.

‘I can’t let all my hard work go to waste because of this b*tch. Academy, if you ask your father well, it will be sorted out somehow.’

However, he managed to suppress it, thinking of the disadvantages that might come back.

“Get off immediately. If you tell anyone what happened with me, I will destroy three generations.”

Ella struggled to her feet, clutching her sides.

And she fell to the floor without hesitation.

“Forgive me just once. Klein.”

“… ….”

“Please. I will never make any mistakes again.”

Klein looked at Ella with contempt and pulled a string.

Kurreuk.

The empty wall opened, revealing a meadow.

It was an emergency passage leading to the back alleys of the island.

“Go away. If you don’t want to die.”

“… ….”

Ella walked there with a limp.

**

Ella was a first-year student at the Magic Department of the Imperial Academy.

She

Although she was expelled as soon as she entered.

She heard that a nobleman had accused her.

I tried saying no, but to no avail. No one believed Ella’s words.

At that time, it was Klein who extended her hand. He approached pretending to be a well-mannered aristocrat and held out his hand to himself.

-There is a workshop that I personally run. Looking for someone to work there, do you have any plans to work there?

I was fooled by that kindness.

No, even if she wasn’t fooled, Ella had no other choice.

Because she couldn’t just give up and return to her hometown. She must have become a wizard.

Klein’s angelic smile turned into a demon the moment he entered the studio.

Every time he did something he didn’t like, he had to listen to all kinds of verbal abuse, and if there were days when he was in a bad mood, he had to endure countless violence.

However, Ella didn’t think she was that bad. Rather, she felt grateful that she had taken someone who was nothing like herself.

Klein was a daily violent man, but at least he didn’t touch his body.

He stole all the research he had worked so hard for, but gave him enough money to send back to his hometown.

Even that is a sensible thing for the desperate Ella.

But now that he has been kicked out of Klein’s studio, he has nowhere to go.

‘Now, what should I do?’

She grew up in an ordinary commoner family.

After discovering that she had a talent for magic, her parents made money like crazy and sent her to the system.

Her mother went out at night and returned in the morning, and her father did all sorts of menial jobs to earn money. Even so, he went around asking for money, and he was beaten. My father is missing two of his right fingers.

You must succeed and return.

That was Ella’s only mission.

She was her atonement for her parents who sacrificed everything for her.

But.

‘Now… …. I am.’

It’s over.

She was expelled from the academy and her only rope was cut.

She wasn’t confident she was going to get through this situation.

She even more so to herself……

-Ella, you are more stupid than cattle. It’s no use at all. Live always being grateful to me for taking you.

-How did you get accepted into the academy with such poor magic talent? He said he was generous to the common people, but it was true.

-The result would have been the same anyway, even if someone hadn’t accused you of your test. Rather well. Thanks to being expelled, I got to know a benefactor like me.

I had no talent.

“Ah.”

My whole body throbs and hurts.

Hot tears flowed down her face.

I tried wiping the tears with her sleeve, but it didn’t stop.

Ella stopped her steps. Looking to her side, I could see the lake over her legs.

I don’t know how deep she is, but it must be enough for her own body to fall out.

She muttered with a blank expression.

“Should I quit?”

Wouldn’t it be easier if I gave up?

Ella felt a certain desire.

It seemed too sweet.

Ella reached for her leg.

It was the moment I was about to climb onto the railing.

“Isn’t it a waste?”

“… !”

A blond-haired boy was sitting on the ledge, which was apparently not there until just now.

The eyes glowing softly with the moonlight were so dreamy that it felt like they weren’t real.

‘Is this a dream?’

Ella had an idea like that for a moment.

“Getting to that level means you practiced a lot.”

Ella never stopped studying her magic.

There were many books in Klein’s magic workshop.

Even if it was slow, I did it steadily.

I think that commoners are lucky to have access to such expensive books.

“Isn’t it unfair?”

‘… Fairy? A fantasy you see before you die, isn’t it?’

I think I’ve seen it before.

Mana has a will, so it is said that when a wizard you have been with dies, it will show you an illusion.

She noticed that she was at the crossroads of death, and her own magic created this mystery, Ella thought.

So Ella was able to talk comfortably.

“It’s unfair.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Why was I the only one falsely accused among so many students? I’ve never done anything like cheating. The magic circle was perfect, but why did Klein-sama react like that? Why does this only happen to me?”

“… ….”

“Why did the fairy give me this halfway talent? A commoner like me…… Farming would have been happier.”

Ella said in a sad voice.

Ruid just stared at it.

Ella smiled.

“But I do not resent you. Thanks to you, I had a happy dream for a while. Sorry. I guess no more. Thank you for being with me all this while.”

“You think you’re out of luck?”

“… ….”

Ella hates luck.

It means that the decision is made regardless of her own abilities.

I have been in denial.

However, she was able to speak now.

“Yes.”

But the fairy denied it.

“No. You are lucky.”

“… ….”

Ella could not agree.

“Because you met me. It’s really not that easy.”

The fairy came down from the railing.

He looked up at Ella and held out her hand.

“My name is Louis Christopher Windsor. I am a professor at the Imperial Academy.”

“… Yes?”

He was still holding out his hand.

Ella instinctively took that hand.

Unlike herself, she felt an infinitely soft hand.

It was the hand of a nobleman.

And at that moment-

Ella realizes that what she is seeing now is not an illusion.

“From what I’ve seen, you have talent. So this is not sympathy. It’s the result you deserve rightfully.”

“Yes?”

Very flustered, Ella could only repeat the same words like a parrot.

“Ella. From today you are my assistant.”
