Became a Childhood Friend of an Academy Genius

1 – Genius Girl, Lorne Elua

8 Years.

The years that have passed since I was born in another world after I died at a fairly early age in that world.

This is none other than the worldview of a web novel called The Journal of the Academy of Delos.

I was born as a boy in a rural corner that I had never even heard of.

I can’t even wash my hair properly, so the magpie is building a house and living.

I can’t remember if I changed my shabby clothes a few days ago, and it smells like shabby clothes.

In addition, the inside of a shabby building full of mold that seems to attract insects at any moment.

This place, like a barn that is not properly protected from drafts, is my, no, our home.

“Bell! I picked a lot of apricots today!”

“Really!? After all, noona is the best!”

Soon after, the black-haired girl who opened the door and came in was none other than my older sister, Ain Rinauer.

Even though I am 7 years old, maybe because of the age difference, I am also a grateful person who cherishes me very much.

Currently, the father and mother are going to buy goods in the next town for a while, so they have to keep the house together for the time being.

That’s why I’m still young and I mainly take on what I can do at home, and my sister takes on roles such as going to the back mountain to get food to eat.

“Oh, there are so many.”

“Isn’t it? My sister worked hard today.”

My older sister, who rolled her arms and showed off, was very cute in my eyes.

You might say it’s gross to say that siblings are cute, but in my eyes, she’s just a 15-year-old girl.

I hopped in place, exclaiming in admiration at the amount of apricots, which seemed to be double the usual amount.

Because her body hasn’t grown yet, if she doesn’t do this, she won’t be able to see the objects on the high table properly.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look closely, but my sister likes seeing me so innocently happy, so she tends to take over-actions whenever possible.

“Puhu, do you like it that much?”

My older sister, who was staring at my back as I vigorously shake my butt, eventually burst into laughter.

I turned my sister’s head toward her, putting on an excited expression with the thought of success in my heart.

“Good. You know how much I love apricots.”

“Sure. I know.”

It sounds more like a lover than a brother and sister, but in our family, it’s always a daily routine.

Especially, like today, when my father and mother are not around and we have to rely on each other, the bond gets stronger.

‘Anyway, the time has come soon.’

After continuing to jump like a rabbit in place, I slowly turned my head to look at the shabby door.

Because the fact that my sister has returned has a different meaning.

“Hi, Bell!”

Somehow, the nobleman seems to be mean, and a girl appeared as she opened the shabby door with a burst of energy.

Full breast meat and silver hair on both cheeks.

His eyes are blue, as if he had captured the sky as it was.

Even though she is still young, the name of this girl who clearly shows that she will grow into a beauty in the future is Lorne Elua.

This is a character who made me realize that this world is a worldview in a novel and was a main character in the original work.

Right now, she only looks like a meek little lady, but she is also a genius wizard who is reborn as the strongest worldview comparable to the main character on the verge of completion.

Born into this impoverished family, where my parents don’t even have the money to pass on, the food line I can rely on for the future.

Knowing that looking good to her Rone is the only way for her to be my best friend, I treated her very kindly from the first meeting.

As a result, the relationship has become to the extent that we can freely come and go to each other’s homes and share what we lack.

For me, I just want it to go like it is now.

“Hello, Lorne.”

“Welcome, Lone.”

“Hello Ain unnie too!”

I waved gladly at my childhood friend, with whom I had been dating for nearly 7 years.

After her, her older sister welcomes her, and the guy who runs towards me with her smile on his face.

Sitting on the creaky chair next to me, Lorne swayed his legs and explained how he had come to our house.

“Hey, Ain unnie said she was going home, so I followed her!”

“I thought so. But what is it?”

Even if there is no particular reason between friends, you can see it, but I asked this question because Lorne seemed to be in a good mood today.

Laughter is a bit on the promiscuous side, but there was always a reason for spreading the happy virus that overflows like this.

“Yes! Actually, she came because she wanted to show off to Belle.”

“Proud?”

My head tilted to the side at the unexpected answer.

It’s a big deal.

Contrary to her lively impression, Lorne is not the type to brag about anything to others.

Do I have to say that I am reluctant to show off? Anyway, she’s not much different when dealing with me.

It means that such a Rorone is quite great to say the word ‘proud’ without hesitation.

What is it?

“Come on, Lone. Let’s talk while eating apricots first.”

“Wow! Thank you, Sister!”

In the midst of curiosity welling up, my sister sneaked up to me and took out an apricot from the basket instead and spoke to her.

Rone has always been the type to not touch other people’s things, so he won’t touch food unless he’s encouraged to do so.

“So what do you have to show me?”

“Ugh? Don’t sleep….”

Lorne is so full of apricots in his mouth that he can’t even answer properly.

Looking at her, she feels sorry for pushing her.

I should have told you to just eat everything and talk.

“Gulp. hehehe, sorry I’ll show you soon.”

“It’s okay, you can take it slow.”

“Oh no! What do you want to show Belle?”

Though she tried to express her consideration in order not to pretend to be in such a hurry, Lorne shook her head and showed her determination.

Fortunately, it seems that the apricots are all gone.

‘By the way, what the hell are you talking about?’

At this point, I don’t think it’s going to be hard to meet my expectations unless a lump of gold suddenly pops out of my pocket.

No, it’s not even a lump of gold, I think it should be something like a diamond.

“Should I be watching here?”

“Yes.”

In front of my doubtful eyes, Lorne spread out his small palm and encouraged me to focus on him.

I suddenly wanted to show you some magic, so I focused on it with my eyes wide open as if in a snowball fight.

“…… !?”

Something blue rose from her hand as if it were really magic, no magic.

At first, I thought it was a stream of water, but when I looked closely, it was floating there like an air current.

“How is it? Aren’t you curious?”

“Uh, uh…. But what the hell is this?”

“Ahem, this is magical power!”

I couldn’t say anything to Lornay, who was showing off his undeveloped breasts.

It’s worth it, because the shock of the one word that just hit my ear didn’t go away.

mana.

Of course, the word itself is not surprising.

This is a fantasy world, and magic is like the blood that naturally flows through the human body.

But what surprised me was that he succeeded in expressing it.

Considering that Orphe, the wizard who was revered as the greatest genius in the original work, manifested magic at the age of seven, it can be said that it is a talent worthy of being counted in history.

At this level, I wonder if it’s not the academy, but the Royal Ministry of Magic.

‘Crazy. There’s no such thing as a balbung.’

I don’t even feel envious because it’s such an out-of-standard talent.

Rather, I am just grateful that a person like this is by my side.

It seems that I kept a close eye on one person.

She is just thrilled to think that the precious food ingredients I have fed her have not gone in vain.

“Sister, look at this! Isn’t that great?”

“Huh? Really. Our Lone, did you try hard?”

Lorne directed the same scene he showed me and approached my sister.

In response, the older sister carelessly stroked Lorne’s hair and gave her formal compliments.

Well, unlike me, who has knowledge of the original work, my sister is really just a native of the countryside.

It must be strange for an older sister who has never even seen the manifestation of magic and magic to know how amazing this fact is.

It was because of me that Lone learned about the existence of magic in the first place.

In the past, he hinted at the existence of magic and magic as if passing by, and with that shallow knowledge, he succeeded in manifesting magic.

‘You’re growing well.’

I nodded my head in pride as I saw my childhood friend who was developing his talents without anyone’s teaching.

Perhaps even after 10 years like this, I will have enough skills to enter the academy by myself.

In that case, I just need to have the ability to ride on the back of this childhood friend.

Fortunately, the academy welcomes talented people regardless of status, as long as they aren’t criminals.

That’s why I’m aiming to enter the academy now.

Because in this world, it’s the only corner where a countryman like me can struggle to get ahead.

The icing on the cake is to pick up and eat even the bean curd that drips from Lone’s side.

“hehehe, Bell! I did a good job, so go ahead and pet me!”

“Then, I have to do it.”

Lone ran up to me as I was drawing the blueprint for the future and demanded to be stroked as usual.

I don’t know what’s so good about this, but it doesn’t cost much, so I tend to do it whenever I want.

Because getting her points is the shortcut to brightening my future.
