Episode 70

“As of the present time, you are organized as a special support group under the 1st Corps of the Magic Corps, and are under the command of Kanin Mage Artine.”

The movement from Summer Turge to Aindaroch has begun.

Wagons and horse-drawn carriages to escort a large group of over 1,000 people filled the parking lot and the vicinity of the main gate.

“Are you really not going to ride?”

“I want to talk to the kids.”

“Shall I ride there too?”

“Then the knights will be anxious. I’ll find you separately later.”

“You must come. Maria can’t even put a concave, and I might die of boredom!”

“sure.”

The children boarded the imperial wagon separately, but I decided to get on a normal wagon with the other students.

Although the ride is uncomfortable, I wanted to be of some help to my future work.

I’m the first to get on the empty wagon.

“Wow!”

“Why, why are you screaming all of a sudden?”

“Lord Rockstrin is here… … !”

“What?”

A class A student who was trying to get on after me screamed in surprise.

Even with a fairly large wagon, the limit is 8 people who can ride in one.

“Hello, Camilla.”

“Yes, yes hehe. Good morning!”

“Go up quickly… … . What is it, Rockstrin? Are you riding here too?”

“You?”

“I can’t ride the carriage because it’s uncomfortable. It was dizzy.”

“That’s amazing again.”

Broman, a member of the royal family, also climbed into the same carriage. Frid deliberately had them ride in another wagon, so none of the main characters were in it.

“What, why?”

I was sitting in the farthest corner, and the eyes of the girls were sharply fixed on Broman, who had taken the seat right next to me. Broman, like royalty, didn’t care at all.

“Everyone, let’s get on somewhere else… … ?”

“He said he was leaving right away, so just sit down. Would you change later?”

“Yeep.”

Broman grabbed Giselle, a commoner male student who was about to get up from his seat, by the shoulders and put him back down.

It would take about a week to reach Aindarlock, as a group of this size could not move at such a high speed.

‘Broman, Giselle, Fabian, Camilla, Delphine, Terria, Nairis.’

All seven of us on board were members of Class 1 A, where Freed and I taught the magic of Imagination Theory for several days.

“It will take a long time, but let’s all do our best.”

“Yes, of course!”

“You are full of power!”

At the beginning of the year, if anyone bumped into my face, I couldn’t have a proper conversation.

It’s already been half a year, and now it feels like a memory.

“We are leaving!”

Someone from the front raised his voice at the top of his voice, and the wheels of the wagon rattled and the scenery outside the window began to move.

I got lucky lightly.

“By the way, if you have any questions about our estate, ask anything. If you know anything about barriers, I can answer you.”

“Um… … .”

“I do not know.”

The girls across the street, including Camilla, seemed to be thinking hard about it, but in fact, Aindar Locke was originally like that.

Although it is wide, the area where people live is narrow, and there is nothing to see.

It is a land where no one visits except for periodic ascending, where there is only farming and farming.

Broman scratched his brain lightly.

“All country estates are alike. I’d rather not know about the Marquess.”

“My father?”

“Oh, right!”

“I have a lot of questions about the Marquis.”

Coltman Aindar Locke.

Those who had served as the head of the Aindarlock family for generations were all unusual, but Coltman stood out among them.

“How old are you?”

“When you came to Summer Turge the other day, you didn’t look like you were in your 30s!”

“Ah, not to that extent. He is thirty-seven this year.”

“yes? Really?”

“The one without a single wrinkle… … .”

“No way. You can see it if you look closely.”

I tapped Broman next to me with my elbow. The person who brought up this story was keeping his mouth shut.

“Didn’t you have any questions?”

“Yes. I heard that he was a genius when he was in school, but after returning to Yeongji, he only focused on Yeongji’s work. It’s not even known what star it is.”

“Since you weren’t given a mage, wouldn’t it be a 6-star? Of course, that’s great too!”

“Ah, that.”

Coltman Aindarok is mainly emphasized as the general manager and commander of the northern barrier.

His own power is also considerable.

“It’s a 7-star.”

“What?”

“No, then shouldn’t you have received a mage? Have you committed any crime against the Magic Society?”

“It is not. Everyone doesn’t know this. It’s a very simple profit.”

7-star wizards are recognized as great wizards anywhere on the continent, and are given the middle name of ‘Mage’ by the Society of Magic to show respect.

They are, of course, very few.

There are only two mages on the side of the allies who usually appear in <Academy Summer Turge>, Kanin and Wilein, and if you add one more, it’s about Derek.

Kanin, who served as the military commander of the Confederate Front for decades, Yurain, who served as the dean of Summer Turge due to his high reputation in the academic world, and Derek, the best 8-star court wizard in the world.

Each one is a legendary being.

“If the name is long, it takes a long time to sign the approval documents, so you didn’t get it.”

“ah… … ?”

“What is that… … . Are you kidding?”

“It’s true.”

Surprisingly true.

It is a setting that Coltman, who is not going to go out of the territory anyway, and is busy with work, did not bother to receive the title.

The fact that he had to go all the way to the first library in Leeden must have played a role as well.

“Seven stars are right. It’s because there’s little exchange, so it’s probably listed as a 7-star in the Magic Society.”

“I knew it first.”

“I know. You might not have gotten that.”

“All the soldiers on the wall know it. Every air raid uses the 7-star magic he invented. Anything else you want to know?”

“Our estate lies along the Confederate front. What is the difference between the soldiers of the north… … .”

As we passed the time by talking about this and that, it was soon time for lunch.

Eating lunch in a wagon was a novelty to the islanders who did not have to travel far, so most of the students looked happy as if they were on a trip.

When you play, you have to play.

“It’s a new game.”

“A game made by Lord Rockstryn?”

“It’s called Concave.”

In the afternoon, I decided to spread Omok. Of course, I only taught the rules in an informal way.

Originally, fighting isn’t that much fun if you fight with weak guys.

The stones were deliberately made so that they could be inserted into the board, so there was no problem in enjoying them in a rocking wagon.

“Oh, I can’t see this.”

“Is that right?”

“Hey, are you here? is not it? Are you here?”

“I’ll do it for the next edition.”

I’m glad to see you’ve been immersed in it for a while. it’s time to slow down

I tapped Broman’s shoulder who was dozing off next to him.

“Sweep, why are you waking me up?”

“I feel like I have to get up.”

“Suddenly what… … .”

While Broman was scratching the back of his head with grim eyes, a loud commotion broke out outside.

“Everyone stop!”

“Stop!”

Looking out the window, there is nothing special about the road, and there are forests on both sides.

In front and behind, the endless line of carriages stood still.

[Monsters may appear while moving. The professors are spreading out and searching the surroundings, but if a monster appears, use magic to respond autonomously.]

Kanin’s voice resonated widely throughout the procession.

“It’s inland, but there are monsters.”

“It’s been a little bit lately.”

“Do I really need to care?”

“Be careful, just in case.”

I said casually and got off the carriage. The students followed me, and there were many students looking around.

“Are you okay?”

“Can’t you see the professors?”

“It will be surrounded by a large circle.”

This was intended to make students familiar with monsters.

If the procession was strictly protected by the professors, the knights of the imperial family, and the guardian mage, no monsters would appear.

“Uh, there… … .”

But every time the wagon stops. The monster always shows up.

Right behind the carriage, someone’s gesture pointed into the rustling bushes.

A four-legged beast suddenly jumped out. Judging by the horns on its head, it was not an ordinary animal.

“That guy, isn’t that a monster?”

“No, that’s right!”

“Kyaaagh!”

““Terra Fin Arpon Dura””

Pooh!

Even though there was a considerable distance, the soil that rose from the ground pierced the monster’s body. It was Broman’s “Protrusion”.

“Oh, this isn’t it.”

Then Broman scratched his head and told me.

“I was in a hurry so I couldn’t use what I learned. Next time, I will write it as an imaginary theory.”

“That is normal.”

“What are professors doing? Same with the Guardian Knight. Are you doing the right search?”

It didn’t stop there, and the sound of students chanting magic continued between the processions.

“Rockstrin, I guess… … .”

About 10 minutes after the procession had stopped, Fabian approached cautiously.

This clever guy seemed to know something about monsters.

Fabian pointed to the corpse, which looked like a large rat.

A low-level monster that was crawling this way as well, Camilla had dealt with with a [Fireball].

“My beard was cut.”

Gutter rat.

They are low-level monsters that aren’t particularly dangerous, but their long beards are very sensitive organs.

If your beard is cut off, you can’t even control your body properly. It was not an illusion that it looked like it was crawling.

“Shh.”

“Yes?”

I raised my index finger and put it in front of my lips.

You must also have knowledge about monsters, and I don’t think there are that many students who are as quick-witted as this.

“I think it was on purpose.”

“On purpose… … .”

“Because there are many students who have never seen monsters before.”

Professors are well aware of the fact that naive students immediately climb the barrier and become useless.

He deliberately stops the wagon midway through the movement and sends the monsters down to hunt them with only the power of the students.

It was like having a hard line of its own, but when I was worried, I sent down only low-level monsters, even those with screws somewhere.

“It must mean getting used to it.”

It’s not that it doesn’t help at all.

The problem is the huge gap between this clumsy training ground and the battlefield beyond the barrier. People die there.

If there’s a better way, I couldn’t find an answer either. So even after receiving the plan from Professor Katrina, I left it alone.

“Ugh, it’s my first time seeing a monster.”

“Didn’t you break into Summer Turf as well?”

“I was sleeping at the time.”

“It will be fine! I caught one too!”

From a distance, I saw a student who managed to intercept a low-level monster and pretended to be proud.

okay. It’s better to have that superficial confidence than not to have it.

“Resume movement!”

The situation ended shortly after, and the students got on the wagon again.

Considering that there will be several more in the future, it was quite a hassle.

“I remember when I was kidnapped. It doesn’t even seem that old.”

“It was a big deal in Areas.”

“This is an empire, but the number of monsters seems to have increased even more than then.”

This time, the thief was played with a trump card, and the kidnapping case was brought up as a topic of conversation.

“Oh, I didn’t look closely at that time. How did you open the latch?”

“Your Highness pulled out about ten hairs. You’re in so much pain.”

“Aha. With your hair!”

“Awesome.”

“Your Highness, is your leg all healed? It must have been very painful.”

While the female students continued to admire, Broman asked quietly.

“Rockstrin. Come to think of it, then… … . When the outer wall of the tower was shattered by Ai-sama’s magic.”

“Oh, my back still stings.”

“Fred was cool.”

“right.”

Even though it happened three months ago, it is a vivid memory. Everyone shook their heads, as if recalling what had happened at that time.

“I didn’t know because I was crazy, did all of them die because they were hit by magic?”

“Well, it must have been hit by a stone.”

“okay? So did you run away? Well, they can’t use magic.”

Half of the students fainted from scalding heat, explosions, and excessive drinking, and it seems that none of the students properly grasped the situation because they rushed out because of the smoke.

“no.”

“yes? Then what?”

“I killed them all.”

I said, discarding a pair of matching cards.

“uh?”

“They all smashed their heads with hammers. Now, why not choose a card?”

“Is that so?”

“why?”

“No, just… … .”

“I don’t know when it might come back. I killed them all before I came to my senses.”

Broman, who was always calm, stuttered in embarrassment. Even though it’s my turn, I don’t draw a card.

Everyone was speechless.

“People die.”

“… … that’s right They also deserved to die.”

“I didn’t know that.”

I still remember the letter I found in the room they were staying on on the second floor.

The man who killed his head by smashing his head with my own hand was a refugee who could not stand the exploits of the lord and ran away, and was someone’s father.

“There is no law that says that.”

He was an infinitely weak underdog.
