chapter 10
10 – Insanity
“···”
Um.
I fell asleep without knowing the world.
It seems the sun was starting to set before I went to sleep.
Now the sun had risen in the middle of the sky instead of setting, and it was shining very brightly.
“Have you slept all day?”
Haa-
I let out a sigh.
When I looked at it calmly, it seemed that my desire to live a normal academy life had already disappeared.
What kind of ordinary student faints in the entrance exam and is late on the first day?
“I won’t do that before I’m rehabilitated.”
Isn’t it, because I couldn’t go to the academy anyway?
Anyway.
“Are you awake?”
Awkwardly-
“······Principal…Teacher?”
“Yes! I am your principal, Principal Lapis.”
No one was there until just now.
Maybe seeing my surprised expression, our principal kindly explained.
“No surprises, student Lian. You know about teleporting, right?”
“Ah…”
That’s right, this guy was a 6th circle archmage.
If you forget this fact, the principal’s talkativeness during the entrance ceremony must have remained so intense.
I watched it again.
“There’s nothing you’ll see that far. If you stay at the academy, a lot of worse things will happen.”
“I don’t really want to go through that.”
It was worse than seeing the dignity of a 6th class mage or fainting while coughing up blood during the entrance exam… It was horrific to imagine.
“Selenium Academy is where you go through even if you don’t want to.”
“···”
It’s nice to hear that. hahahaha.
I’m so happy I’m going crazy.
After checking my rotten expression, the principal stopped the joke and brought up the main topic.
“I’m joking, and the reason I came here is to explain various things about the academy.”
As for the explanation of the academy… I heard it from senior Tinia to some extent.
“I heard a little bit about the academy from a senior mentor.”
“Lian’s mentor… Was Tinia, right? I’m glad that Miss Tinia has done her own thing.”
So there are students who didn’t do their job?
I was curious, but judging from the look on the principal’s face, it didn’t look like anything good would happen if I asked.
Because there are some things in the world that are good to live without knowing.
Not knowing is a sin, but there were more times when I felt comfortable not knowing.
“Anyway, I’m here to tell you what I explained to the freshmen after the entrance exam.”
Is there any additional information provided after the entrance exam?
There was no reason not to listen, so I straightened up and started to listen.
“As I told you at the beginning, the classes in our academy change every semester. And the classes are decided by the students based on their abilities.”
“Ranking matches that take place at the end of each semester account for 50 percent, and various tests including midterm and final exams account for the remaining 50 percent.”
I listened as if he was about to say something important, but I already knew everything about it.
It wasn’t my first life, and I had memories of the original work, of which very little remains.
As the principal said, the academy’s class assignment is not determined only by ranking matches.
It is true that ranking matches take up a large portion of the game, but if you only care about ranking matches, it is the academy’s system that will give you a bitter taste.
“You’re not surprised as much as you thought? Other students who first heard about this even asked why their scores before ranking were so low.”
I think it’s strange that I don’t have any reaction even after hearing the academy’s class assignment method.
‘It’s something I already know, so I can’t believe there will be a reaction… Wait, what?’
I feel like I heard something I shouldn’t have heard.
“······Argued?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
No matter how many times you see the principal for the first time, you must have known at least that he was a 6th-circle magician, but you still rebelled?
Do those friends have about 3 lives?
“How could the other students who asked me…”
“Curious?”
Seeing the principal talking with a smile on his face but not a smile on his face, he immediately regretted asking the question.
Don’t ask questions. Why did you do that?
“There are many laws in the world where not knowing is good. Student Ryan.”
“Yes.”
That’s a great quote.
I think I heard it somewhere, but it must be because of my mood.
After the principal’s remark(?), A small explanation of the academy followed.
Most of them were not very important, and if they were important, there were stories related to mentors.
“The mentor plans to take classes with the freshmen for about a month and attend classes together.”
Did Tinia-senpai mean this when he said he was going to see you often in the future?
This isn’t the level you see often, it’s just like a partner.
“Ah, don’t worry about the senior mentors’ classes. Teaching freshmen doesn’t mean the class is lower than the level of the 2nd and 3rd year students, and it’s an opportunity for the mentor students to grow while helping the mentees.”
It was also a feature of Selenium Academy.
Everyone takes equal classes regardless of age, family, or class.
I didn’t take high-level classes because I was in a high grade, and I didn’t take low-level classes because I was a commoner.
He could prove his worth only through his abilities and abilities.
“I think I’ve covered most of it. Do you have any questions?”
After the explanation of the academy, which I had not heard before, the question time came.
“No, I don’t have any specific questions…”
“Really? You don’t even know what class you’re in?
Ah.
Come to think of it, that was it. My test results.
I totally forgot.
“······I forgot. So what class… Was I assigned to?”
I didn’t expect much because I passed out during the test. At least 3 and a half?
What kind of teacher would assign a student who collapses while using magic to a higher class?
But the world is wide, and there are always exceptions.
“Lian has been assigned to class 1. Congratulations.”
“Yes?”
Am I in class 1?
I didn’t say anything, but I asked with a look on my face.
The reason why I asked with a funny expression rather than words was simple. Because I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak.
I took the test like that, but it’s the best class, class 1?
“Poop, Lian’s expression is very diverse.”
“···”
“Are you curious about why Lian was assigned to Class 1?”
“Yes.”
Personally, I’m curious about the face of the teacher who put a sickly student who passed out during an exam into class 1.
“The reason is simpler than I thought. It’s because the magic that student Lian showed was amazing.”
Is that because of that?
I didn’t use my magic, but I absorbed Magnus’ magic and used Inferno, the 4th circle magic.
It’s a version where a freshman is said to be a genius even if she uses 3 circle magic, but since she used 4 circle magic, it seems that the repercussions were bigger than I thought.
“The beads, which were not scratched when other students hit them, became small cracks after Lian’s magic hit them?”
“I see…”
Is it that powerful? It could also be called 4-circle magic.
The bead, which only had small scratches when Adele used magic, was cracked by my magic.
Aside from using ‘absorption’ and bleeding, it seemed to be a stronger ability than I thought.
“Anyway, let’s go to class 1. It’s… 11:25, So it’s time for class 4 to start soon.”
“······Were you already in class?”
“Sure, today is the first day after entering the school, so we can’t just lock ourselves in the dormitory from the first day.”
“···”
No, that’s right… But since you said that, I have nothing more to say.
I already skipped the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period, but I couldn’t skip the 4th period.
“Then let’s get up first.”
“Yes, let’s go quickly.”
When leaving the health room, Lian student fighting! I think I heard it from behind, but it must be because of my mood.
***
With Ryan gone, only the principal, Lapis, is left in the health room.
Lapis was reading Lian’s information and student information.
“In circle 2… A mage who mainly uses fire?”
You’re laughing. That’s how a wizard who mainly uses fire.
It was clear that the information was incorrect.
Because she saw it clearly.
When Lian uses Fire Arrow, the magic doesn’t work.
And, Lian’s expression of surprise when he used magic.
That wasn’t the expression she used the magic she had been practicing hard for.
As if he didn’t know it would happen like this, he had a surprised expression as if it was different from what he expected.
“Besides… The disease that has settled in the body.”
Rihanna or her other students wouldn’t be able to see it, but she could see something in her eyes as she reached the 6th circle.
That’s Adele’s chronic disease that is now dormant in Lian’s body.
I was asleep and not doing anything at the moment, but it was a chronic disease that would wake me up as time went on.
“That’s a disease I don’t know how to cure.”
It was a very disappointing part.
Didn’t she collapse without knowing anyone’s reaction, or even her own test results, even though she performed wonderful and wonderful magic because of the disease?
And it was difficult to deal with Adele, who persistently asked what was going on and if Ryan was okay.
“Judging by the reaction, you seem to know that your fiancé has such an incurable disease.”
When I couldn’t answer because I was busy with other things, maybe it was because of that… She said to herself, watching Adele, and thinking that she must know this.
Seeing that Rian’s parents, the Earl of Kindred and his wife, are not listed in the student specific information, it seems that Rian’s parents do not know about Rian’s illness, but how does her fiancee, Adele, know?
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason that came to my mind, but since I still have a lot of time, I thought it would be good to think about it slowly.
Lapis burst into laughter at the funny students who appeared after a while.
“Puhehehe, these freshmen have a lot of interesting friends.”
Ryan Kindred is rumored to be an idiot, but in reality seems to be completely different and has an unknown disease.
As rumor has it, Adelistonia seems to be proving her genius by using her own magical powers, and is aware of Rian’s illness, which even her parents don’t know about.
And even Stella Dragnis, whose identity is completely unknown.
“This jockey will be a very interesting jockey?”
Raising the students is fun, but watching how the students live at the academy was also a pleasure for her as a 6th Circle Mage.
