88 – An NPC who went to school.(3)

“♬♬~”

“Ira. What’s so fun about it?”

Ragni questioned the red-haired girl who was walking hand in hand with him.

Ira couldn’t have noticed that the mood in the morning wasn’t so good, so why was it in such a good mood?

“My brother said that! If I study hard at the academy and learn magic hard, then my brother and I will live together for the rest of our lives and there will be no danger! And we will be able to make many friends!”

“Hmm. Is that so? It seems like you’re looking forward to making friends, right?”

“Ehehehehe. Yes!!”

The way she smiles brightly is so cute even if she is the same woman.

Ira is now 12 years old. According to Jack, there were no friends of Ira in the previous village.

It’s not that there weren’t children of the same age, it’s that the villagers just rejected them. Well, the level of adults was like that, so what was different about children who learned from watching it.

Understanding why Ira was happy, Ragni nodded.

“Then, I must pass the exam and enter the academy, right?”

“Yeah! But, my brother said! The test will be very easy.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I said that since Ragni is a teacher, there will be no problem!”

Oh my, that guy. He really has a knack for making people laugh.

Could it be that he was evaluating himself that way to his younger brother whom he liked so much? Isn’t sister-in-law already 120 points out of 100? When I think about it, my heart races.

One day, when you will be by Jack’s side for the rest of your life. Ragni, who even drew a picture that Ira calls her sister, even blushed and imagined the future.

“What’s wrong? Ragni, where are you sick?”

“No. I just had a pleasant imagination.”

“……”

Suddenly, Ira’s brow furrowed and he even let go of the hand he was holding. huh? Why all of a sudden?

“Why, why? What did I do wrong?”

“Yeah. My brother said it. Ragni is very smart and intelligent, but sometimes when he thinks stupid or stupid, his face turns red and his mouth drools. In that case, never get close to him, and don’t learn his behavior. “

“……”

The man. He really has a knack for driving people crazy.

When he quickly pats his face to restore his emotions, he nods contentedly and extends his small hand again.

Me indeed. Jack also makes people pound and go crazy, but his younger sister doesn’t seem to want to lose to him either. Seeing Ira’s cute appearance, Ragni didn’t stop the corners of his mouth from going up on his own, and they held hands and headed to the academy.

Compared to the trading city of Aygram, the number of people is small, but there are many students and students studying and researching. Natty.

Just looking at it, I can see people carrying thick books that seem to have rolled a pen somewhere, and I can see various research equipment and materials for monsters behind the wagons that I sometimes see.

Although the level of development on the outside seems to be a bit behind that of Aigram, this is the land that enters the 3 major cities including Aigram.

If you look closely, you can see parts that are more advanced than Aigram here and there.

Of course, this is what I checked because I know them as knowledge, but I think this is a good environment for studying.

As I walked around thinking like that, I arrived at the test registration center before long. Today is the 1st day. I heard that reception is held for 3 days, and there are quite a few children and adults waiting in line.

However, Ragni doesn’t care about that, and takes Ira’s hand and heads to the front gate of the academy.

“Could you please stop for a moment?”

“I’m here to register for the exam.”

“Did you just pass by the Registry?”

As they walk like that, a woman wearing glasses standing in front of the front door blocks them. As if Ragni had expected this, he reached into his small bag and took out a document.

“Okay, this. I heard that to register this, you have to go directly to the academy staff room to register, right?”

“I’ll check in a moment.”

The woman took the document Ragni showed her, read it, and returned the document without looking surprised.

“Yes, it has been confirmed. I will guide you through registering the letter of recommendation. Please follow me.”

It seems that they were waiting for recommended students, so she immediately began to guide them, and Ragni and Ira followed behind.

I don’t think the imperial palace of the empire is too big, but to be honest, I thought the imperial castle was unnecessarily large and tall. Not only was it not efficient, but it also had no functionality.

I know that the act of expressing power or honor with a building is an expression of national status and the authority of the imperial family, but I have never seen it favorably because I know that it is an expression of human desire to show off.

However, Natty Academy is as large as the imperial palace and the site is twice as large.

However, it seems on the surface that everything is efficiently arranged while pursuing functionality, and above all, many people are properly using this large site.

Ragni was examining his surroundings quite intently as he saw with his own eyes a building that was the symbol of real power in a foreign country for the first time.

“Isn’t the academy building a bit strange?”

“yes!”

Ira raises her hand and replies.

Is it because Ragni and Ira kept rolling their eyes as if they were curious? The woman guiding him asked with a smile, so Ragni opened his mouth.

“Yes. It’s quite fresh. It’s such a large building, but the garden inside is good for many people to rest, and the windows are efficiently arranged, so it’s more efficient and comfortable than authoritative.”

“Oh my. Not many people think that far when they see the academy building, but you are a deep thinker.”

“Well, I’ve often heard that you have a lot of unnecessary thoughts.”

“My brother said that! There is no one in the world smarter than Ragni!”

“So. Contrary to what is written on the recommendation letter, Mr. Ragni is also entering the academy by taking the test himself?”

“No. I will join the academy, but I have no intention of joining as a student.”

“…yes?”

After speaking up to that point, Ragni continued the conversation to confirm the layout of the academy and the location of the facilities.

The academy where the man she loves dies and her younger brother goes to school.

Not only to check the safety of the surroundings, but also for the sake of a comfortable life in the future, he thought that he had to work hard to figure it out. After listening to the explanation of the academy from the woman, I arrived in front of the staff room before I knew it.

“The person inside will be interviewing Miss Ira before the exam.”

“Isn’t that the only way to go in?”

“Yes. Guardians can go in too.”

The woman wearing glasses smiles and opens the door as it is, and goes inside with Ira.

“Hmm. Are you a recommended admission?”

“Yes! Hello! I’m Ira!”

Ira bowed her head and greeted her cutely.

The opponent has red hair similar to Ira. She is a middle-aged woman with impressive powerful eyes even though she is wearing round glasses. She quietly looks at Ira, who answered brightly.

“Your child was admitted through recommendation? Where did you get the letter of recommendation?”

“Igram.”

“Igram?”

When I take out a document, approach the middle-aged woman and place it on the desk, she immediately grabs the paper, skims it, and then looks at Ira.

“I don’t know how much money I gave that damn b*tch, but for the past five years, not a single person has passed the test for Igram recommended admission. Do you know?”

“yes?”

“I did not know!”

Ragni’s head spins rapidly at the words the middle-aged woman suddenly uttered.

Those who came with letters of recommendation were not admitted for 5 years. In addition, judging from the tone, that market. It seems that he sold the letters of recommendation for money.

It seems that Natty knew that, and let her take the test regardless. Just looking at it, I feel like I don’t have any intention of believing Igram’s recommendation.

Even the gaze itself seemed to be ignoring Ira, who was smiling and replying.

Ragni listens to the woman, concluding that the entrance exam will be more difficult than he thought.

“If you’ve just heard the story, the reason why our Natty distributes letters of recommendation to independent cities, kingdoms, and empires around us doesn’t just mean that we’ll admit rich girls.”

“Every year, idiots come to Igram with letters of recommendation to pay for admission, but if you’re going to do that, it’s better to donate cash to the academy and build relationships with the department heads. Now, if you’ve heard this far, you know what I mean. ?”

If you’re going to give up and move out, now is the time. If you’re going to enroll with money, invest in the head of each department and build a network. Those of you who came from Aigram must be like that.

Ragni’s blunt words and gaze made him wonder what kind of interview this was, and he looked at Ira quietly, feeling a little irritated. Even after hearing her words, he just stayed still with his purple eyes sparkling.

“…didn’t you understand what I said?”

“No! I understand! The exams are difficult, so he told me to leave now!”

“……”

Ra, who raised his hand and spoke politely, replied with a smile, and Ragni thought Ra was a quick-witted and smart kid.

Of course, I don’t know where in the conversation right now there is an element to laugh like that.

“Hey, you.”

“Huh? Oh, me?”

“Yes. Are you his mother?”

“No! Ragni is Ragni! My brother’s… traveling companion!”

There was a period of questioning for a while, but Ira responded rather positively to Ragni. And without paying attention to such Ira, the middle-aged woman continues to speak high-handedly.

“Are you really going to let such a poor-looking kid take the exam? I don’t know how far you guys have come to know, but those who bring letters of recommendation register quickly and only go to interviews first. Every year in the practical exam, there are injuries.”

“Are you talking a little bit harshly?”

Seeing the woman who suddenly threw a personal attack on Ira, Ragni felt her hand move behind her waist without realizing it.

A gun strapped to his waist. A weapon that Jack gave me, saying that I might have to fight on my future journey. She clearly understands that this does not mean protecting only myself.

So just one word. If you say one more word to Ira that will hurt her, she will stare at her in the same way, with the intention of pulling out a gun without hesitation.

The middle-aged woman didn’t know if she knew Ragni’s thoughts, but she sighed and opened her mouth.

“Ha. That’s annoying. If the child is lacking, even the guardian should be smart. If you don’t go this far, won’t you understand?”

An insult to Ira that Ragni had been waiting for even though he did not want it. The moment it was spit out, Ragni grabbed the gun barrel.

-Guuung!!

“Ugh?!”

Before the gun could be drawn, the blue air that oppressed her filled up.
