43. Rumors

The second sun rising under the sky.

The emperor of the empire was receiving a report from the minister.

“It is said that a cadet who summoned two summoned beasts like His Majesty the first emperor appeared at the Academy.”

“okay? Did that child also summon a 5-star summoned beast?”

“It is not.”

“Then you must be a person who will become a talented person in the future.”

“… … Yes, it is.”

“To strengthen the security of the academy so that the child is not killed or injured. next?”

“This is a report of an invasion from the Southern Absolute Defense Line.”

“What is it?”

“This is a report on the discovery of a traitor as a result of the attack of demons in line with the secret expedition.”

“Well… … .”

The emperor let out a sigh and fell into silence. Invasion of demons happens every time, but there has never been a case of convincing the human side to steal information and attack in this way.

“Could it be a false report?”

“As the reporter is the Duke of Iretsu, there is no chance of that happening… … .”

“Yeah, he wouldn’t do that.”

The status of duke was not a status that could be obtained simply by having only a four-star pet.

A position that can only be attained by great men who sacrificed their bodies and souls for the Empire, where loyalty and achievement to the Empire are essential.

From generation to generation, the Duke of Iritz was a family that showed fiery passion and loyalty.

“The duke should be given medals… … What else is special about it?”

“The duke says that the academy cadets defeated the high-ranking demons and kept the duchy… .”

“Hey, academy cadets?”

The emperor was very interested in those words. Of course, the Academy cadets are the heirs of my family, so there may be cadets with 4-star summons… … .

‘There is no way that a successor with a 4-star summons would go to the Duke of Iritsu.’

In other words, he meant that he was a three-star pet, and defeating demons one tier higher with a lower tier could only be done by brave warriors with great ingenuity and talent.

“Then let him reward the cadet as well.”

“Yes, I understand-.”

“… … No, I will go directly to the academy.”

“Your Majesty, that is… … .”

“To see my daughter’s face after a long time, and also to see a cadet who has the same talents as the first emperor. So let’s schedule it.”

“-All right.”

As the Emperor said that, he thought of the Academy schedule.

A ranking match in which all academy cadets participate.

That’s not much left.

“School trip, everyone worked hard.”

Morning lookup time.

Oliver looked back at the children who had returned from school trips one by one and said so.

He knew that all personnel had completed the training safely because he had already received a report through magic communication, but he collected the documents according to the procedure.

There were some children I forgot to bring from my dormitory, but they did not return them to the dormitory at this time.

“Bring the paperwork by today and open the textbook for class. From History of Empires, page 43… … .”

The children followed Oliver’s words and opened their textbooks. I followed along, opened my textbook and listened to him.

There are not many subjects taught at the academy. Basic level of Korean language and mathematics, the history of old empires and the theory and practice of pets are all there.

The subjects with the most weight were the theory and practice of summoned numbers. Theories tended to be wrong, but they were gradually being revised.

‘I can’t help it.’

It was inevitable that the theory was wrong. First of all, there were not many summons, and it was not easy to study them.

Summoners are all nobles, so to study summons, you need the power of a noble noble.

However, the nobleman is actually a summoner.

A person who has neither the need nor the will to study summoned beasts.

Of course, if there is a crisis for the entire human race, the nobles will quickly collaborate to study the summoned beasts… … .

‘Because the current situation is enough to prevent it somehow.’

There is no need to study Isn’t it enough to block demons even now?

Numerous nobles who had the vested interests did not want their power to be dismantled, studied, and belonged to everyone.

If they do, they will lose their power.

Tuk-.

With that thought in mind, while I was digging my eyes out in class, a crumpled piece of paper bumped into my head and rolled over the desk.

When I turned my head with a frown on my face, I saw Shira smiling there.

Open it, hit it, look.

Shira pursed her lips and said so, and turned her head to the blackboard again so as not to be noticed by Oliver.

I also opened the note as carefully as possible so as not to be noticed by the teacher.

The note had nothing to do with it.

─Do you want to eat together?

A personal story that doesn’t have to be told in class.

But at the same time, refreshing behavior that is only possible in this age group.

I want to protect the children’s childhood, so I wrote [凸] in the corner of the note and threw it at Shiira’s back.

The note that flew through the back of her head hit her head and slipped through the nape of her neck.

“Ah-!?”

Shira accepted the shrill paper behind her back and let out a moan without realizing it, and Oliver frowned and looked back, realizing that Shiira was the one who made the sound, and sighed.

“… … Concentrate during class.”

“Ah, ah ha ha. sorry. Teacher.”

After she apologized to Oliver, she carefully turned around and looked at me.

She put her hand on my waist and pulled out the paper, read the words on the paper, frowned and looked at me again.

Naturally, ignoring her gaze and focusing her gaze on the blackboard in the future, Shira rolled up the paper in a small round shape like a bullet and bounced it off with just her fingers.

‘Ugh-.’

The paper that hit the face did not end with one foot. She bounced the paper countless times with her amazing skill.

She didn’t stop doing it until the end of class, and it was only after class that I was freed from one-sided bullying.

“hey.”

“yes? Ah-.”

And, having accumulated a bit of stress from being unilaterally attacked throughout class, I approached Shira in ancient times and grabbed her cheeks.

Like a student, she doesn’t have any makeup, and her soft cheeks are caught in her hands. It felt like pinching the cheeks of a newborn baby, but… … .

“Are you crazy, very?”

“Ha ha-! Ha ha!”

“What is he saying now.”

As it was, he began to pinch her cheeks without mercy and twist them around. She waved her arms around, complaining of pain.

However, he did not let go of the pinching to the extent that he only complained of pain. He continued to torment her. Take my cries, bitch.

After playing with her for a while, I stopped for a moment when I realized that the atmosphere around me was strange.

“… … When did you two become so close?”

“I know. We used to go together… .”

“In class, openly showing affection… … .”

Like the worldview created by modern people in the 21st century, many parts resembled the Earth in the 21st century, but they were not exactly the same.

A different world where aristocratic society still exists and men and women are separated.

It is only possible to covet a woman’s body freely after being engaged to the woman, and even that is criticized for being ugly in front of others.

‘… … what.’

Gently rubbing her blushing cheeks, Shira looked at me with a look of how she was feeling.

* * *

Children’s mouths are light, and their curiosity about studying in this narrow academy is unquestionably bloated.

Thus, the rumors that arose within the academy were faster than Chollima and faster than the 5-star Summoner.

“No, why are there rumors that I’m dating you… … .”

“Well? I don’t know.”

Saying so, Shira began to hum. It wasn’t her fault that rumors like that came out.

‘No, this bitch is wrong.’

Cancel, she’s right. There would be no reason for me to retaliate against her if she hadn’t quarreled first, and then there would be no way this rumor would have spread.

‘I didn’t even hear rumors like this with Stella… … .’

But that was because Stella was too big to touch, and she was the princess of the Duke of Iritsu.

On the other hand, although Shira was the successor of the Marquis of Acacia, their recognition is underestimated due to the characteristics of the Acacia family, and their achievements are hidden.

Most of the children will not even know where the Marquis Acacia is. It was natural. If it turns out that there is a family that assassinates the same nobleman under the leadership of the emperor, it would be no joke.

“Well, I have a weekend job, and I’ll buy you lunch today!”

“Our school lunch is free.”

“yes! You can eat any more!”

Shira made a joke like that and headed to her seat for lunch. I followed her and took a seat in front of her.

Other people’s eyes are hot All the children gossiping are just our stories. In reality, no matter what… … I didn’t feel very well.

“hi.”

“Oh, Ian. hi!”

While we were quietly eating, Stella and Noah appeared and took a seat next to us. Shira frowned at the two people sitting next to me without permission, but she didn’t say anything.

Noah sat down, restless, looking at me and Siira in turn, and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Ian, is that rumor true?”

“no.”

“… … You didn’t tell me what the rumor was?”

“I’ve heard that story more than a hundred times already today.”

It was obvious that it was a rumor Noah would ask.

Rumors spread between me and Shiira that the two of us were engaged.

There were people who said that a marquise writer and a three-star Summoner were not a bad couple, and rather liked them.

‘Are you going to get engaged to Shira?’

But that was as foolish as leaving fate to the god of dice. I’m engaged to Shira, who doesn’t know where to go, so life will be like a trampoline.

“We’re not like that—don’t believe such strange rumors.”

“okay? thank god! Right, Stella?”

“Heh, you didn’t even believe that rumor in the first place, did you?”

Noah smiled slightly and forwarded my words to Stella as it was, and Stella snorted and threw the words away.

He even licked his lips as if it was natural.

“Ian can’t date Shi-ira. About me… … .”

“approximately?”

“soul?”

Stella, realizing my mistake, opened her eyes and looked at the two of them. However, Noah and Shira, who had already caught the number, did not let go of their prey once.

Stella pondered for a moment, then spit out what she thought was the best move.

“… … cancellation.”

It was a natural story, but I couldn’t pick up the words I uttered and put them into words.
