I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

family crap (5)

“His Excellency Margrave Heinrich has invited you to luncheon today.”

An elderly attendant wearing gold-rimmed monocles quietly came to my room and said,

Unlike servants and maids, servants and maids were the exclusive property of high-ranking nobles, and could be seen as a position equivalent to a kind of secretary or aide, rather than a simple servant.

Therefore, like that old man, there were many cases in which lower nobles who were lower in rank than the master they were serving served as servants or maids.

Baron Ben Marcus.

A former knight of the Bernstein family, I heard that my father is the most trusted subordinate.

As if being a knight was not a lie, even in his old age, his body was full of strong muscles and refined energy.

No matter how low the position is, if you don’t want to make things complicated and uncomfortable for each other, it’s better to follow the etiquette of this world to some extent.

“Please tell me you are leaving now.”

Yesterday, I was told in advance by the maid that I had to attend the luncheon.

Because of that, I was already dressed and waiting.

“Yes, I will tell you that.”

Watching the attendant bow politely and leave the door quietly, he looked in the mirror once more and refined his clothing.

When I first looked in the mirror after coming to this world, I couldn’t believe that I was the same person as the person I saw in the mirror. I could see the energy in the eyes, the shiny blonde hair, and the solid body that was revealed even through the stuffy formal clothes.

This won’t offend anyone.

With that thought in mind, I walked towards the luncheon.

* * *

Upon entering the luncheon hall, a middle-aged man was waiting at the table of honor.

Heinrich von Bernstein.

If you are a high-ranking aristocrat called a Margrave or a father, you usually come in last in this feudal society, but seeing that he came in advance and waited much earlier than the luncheon scheduled time…

That alone gave me an idea of this character’s personality.

Thick eyebrows, straight lips, neatly upturned blond hair, and elegant clothes without any flaws.

And the overbearing, gigantic muscular body that could not be concealed even with such clothes, and the protruding solar blood.

As if it was not for nothing that he was one of the empire’s sword masters and had the nickname of the swordsman of iron walls, his natural momentum alone filled this luncheon room.

“Hello, Father.”

As I had learned from the maid in advance, I greeted with polite gestures.

“Carl.”

Two cold eyes looking right through me.

I ignored those eyes and sat down.

Even if you looked at it like that anyway, it was impossible to see through me, who had captured my energy well.

As the eyes of Marquis Heinrich, who had been looking at me like that for a long time, became different, I felt a deep interest beyond the cold wall.

The fact that he didn’t understand me properly seems to have aroused interest.

smart-

With a knock on the luncheon room door, Aria entered last.

“You’re late, Aria.”

Withdrew his interest in me, Marquis Heinrich spoke in a cool voice.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry!”

Arya bowed her head and sat down opposite me, and immediately the maids started serving the dishes.

Dalgrak, moongrak.

For a while, there was no word, only the quiet sound of clinking dishes and chewing food filled the luncheon room.

A meal that is too cold to say that it is a gathering of family members who have not met in a long time.

widely.

“Carl.”

Marquis Heinrich put down the tableware and called out to me while wiping his lips with a dignified gesture.

“Yes, please.”

“Originally, I tried to completely exclude you from the succession plan. Did you know that?”

“Of course I knew.”

If it was ignored even by the maids, it was an obvious fact.

“But my mind has changed.”

“father?!”

Arya, who had been quietly lowering her head, interrupted in surprise.

“Arya, I wouldn’t have allowed you to talk.”

“sorry….”

“I have no intention of inheriting the Bernstein family.”

“…what?”

“Brother?”

Both Margrave Heinrich and Aria questioned me with faces of disbelief at my sudden declaration.

“Again, I have no intention of continuing my family. Let Arya inherit the family line.”

“…….”

Even the cool-headed Margrave Heinrich seemed at a loss for words at this moment.

Arya was sitting across from me, with a frantic expression on her face, as if she were at a gymnasium.

“Then I will ask you, Carol.”

After thinking for a while, Margrave Heinrich spoke in a solemn voice.

“If it’s something I can answer.”

“Why? The Bernstein family is powerful enough to be compared to the kingdoms of the continent. Why are you giving up on this?”

“Because that’s not my goal. On the contrary, my position as heir to the Bernstein family is only a hindrance to my goal.”

“Interrupt? This family that everyone says is great? What target period?”

The corners of Marquis Heinrich’s mouth, which had been close to expressionless throughout his speech, moved up and touched his chin as if he was interested.

“I will see the end of nothingness. That is my only goal, so even being the emperor means nothing to me.”

“Can you swear on your honor?”

“…of course. That Karl von Bernstein’s only goal is to reach the end of nothingness.”

“Forever giving up the position of successor to the Bernstein family.”

“I swear everything on this spot. Also, if a notary is required, I will do so.”

With power in his voice, he spoke clearly.

The position of head of household not only interferes with training, but a position in charge of others means that you have to pay a lot of attention to things other than nothing.

“hahahaha! There is no need for notarization. So was it. It is not possible for a lion to come out of a bastard. Cancer, no way. It’s non-polar, it’s non-polar. You must know what a lofty goal that is, right?”

After hearing my words, Margrave Heinrich burst into laughter and asked. After all, he is also a soldier, so he must have a vague idea of what a distant goal I am talking about.

“I don’t know if it can be reached or not, and whether there really is an end to nothing. I just believe that there will be and continue to devote myself to it.”

“good night. Very good. It would have been nice if you had been greedy for the position of successor to your family, but if you reached a high level that others looked up to as a warrior, you would also raise the name of your family. Either way it doesn’t matter.”

Taktak.

Marquis Heinrich knocked on the table several times, seemingly contemplating.

“It was decided. Originally, I had no intention of letting you go. Sending the family shame would be tantamount to discrediting the great name of the Bernstein family.”

“Did I ever have a place to go?”

“The Imperial Schultz Academy. It is the best educational institution on the continent, and it was customary for children of high-ranking nobles of counts or higher to enter.”

“If you go there, are there many unmanned people?”

“of course. If you are interested in radish, this is a must-go place. If you’re aiming for the edge of nothingness, you’d better have a lot of experience. The choice is yours to make. Would you like to go?”

“I will go.”

There was no reason to worry.

According to what I saw in the book, in this world, there were skills with unique systems such as magic, spiritism, and seongbeop, as well as martial arts.

It’s a rare species, so the more you experience, the wider your horizons will be, and it will help you open up a new realm.

Being the best educational institution on the continent means that it is the best place to experience all of that.

“Then don’t prepare. It’s already a little late, so we’d better leave right away.”

“All right.”

He calmed his pounding heart and answered calmly.

my brother is weird

It’s strange that someone who has never practiced properly in their entire life starts at dawn and continues to practice like crazy.

It’s strange that his lifeless pale skin, frizzy hair, and dying body became firm and smooth overnight.

Even polite behavior towards people, or suddenly making an unconventional declaration that he will permanently give up the position of successor.

Everything from one to ten was just weird.

Besides, the idiot who cried and begged me by the crotch of my pants appeared overnight as a stronger person than Master Ferdinand.

does this make sense?

I felt like I would lose my mind when things happened one after another that I wouldn’t believe easily even if I told anyone on the continent.

smart-

Knocking on a lady’s door at such a late hour, I don’t know who it is, but it seems impolite, but I’m generous.

“Come on in.”

“Hmmm.”

Judging from her coughing and embarrassed expression, she seemed to know that even though she had lost her memory, she was not allowed to enter a lady’s room carelessly in the middle of the night like this.

“What are you doing? at such a late hour.”

“I am leaving tomorrow.”

He said he had to leave immediately, but he never thought he would leave tomorrow.

“Congratulations on being admitted to the best academy on the continent, brother.”

I got up from my seat, politely grabbed the collar of my dress and congratulated her.

I congratulated him, but I still don’t know why this person came here.

Saying goodbye tomorrow would be enough. Is it weird too?

Could it be that you hurt your head a bit?

Is there such a thing? He said he had a brain injury and became a genius.

“I was a bit worried. Would it be right to pass this on to you?”

“what…? Is there anything your brother can give me?”

It’s been quite a while since my brother was practically excluded from the succession position, so the items he can get are much more limited compared to me…

“It’s nothing, this is it.”

After rummaging through her clothes, she pulled out a book and handed it to me.

“What book is it?”

“I know when I see it. As long as you have the intention of practicing martial arts, you will not regret it.”

Curious as to what kind of confidence he had, he received the book and immediately opened it.

This…?

“Oh… brother?”

“Why?”

“This… where did you get this book from?”

“I wrote it myself. Thanks to you, it was so late.”

“How do you do this?”

When I looked at the book my brother handed me, it was hard to control my trembling hands and voice.

“Based on the family mental method you learned, I improved the operation method to suit your body type and swordsmanship. Family martial arts are basically for men, so it bothered me to see you keep going out of sync when you use your unique ki.”

It’s a completely different matter to simply change or create a martial art such as strong power and mana simbeop… and that in half a day.

How can such a thing be possible at that age?

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.

“Go… thank you.”

It was this book that corrected the slight discrepancy that I felt whenever I learned electronic martial arts, and I could not take my eyes off the book.

“If you die in a violent death, shouldn’t I inherit the family? be sure to be strong Go somewhere so you don’t get beaten to death.”

…it was certain that it had become strange.

Not for the sake of a dear younger brother or for such an ordinary reason, but to hand over such a book that I could use it as an heirloom, saying that if I died, I should inherit the family.

“In the first part, the family’s martial arts were modified to suit you, and in the second part, I wrote down the basic group, the sword techniques I know, and one simbeop suitable for that sword method, so if you can learn it, learn it. The Wolha Somyogeombeop and the Wolnyeo Shin Gong are second-to-none martial arts, so if you can learn them properly, you will be able to compete for the best in the world.”

“Is it possible to learn swordsmanship alone?”

“Unless you are a genius, it is impossible. So, you can just refer to the method of swordsmanship and learn the method of mind right away. It has been improved so that it does not conflict with the family’s mental method.”

I flipped through the book and looked at it, and I immediately felt how great the things my brother said calmly were.

“Thank you, brother… I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“What is grace? Don’t go anywhere and die. There are many cases in which the tribe of warriors die in the mountains or fields on fictitious days without leaving a corpse behind. you won’t do that.”

I could see bitterness that I couldn’t hide from my brother’s expression, who was only a year older than me.

Have I been through something in a place I don’t know?

….

Decided.

“Brother.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“wait for me. I will definitely make sure to go to Schultz Academy next year.”

“You don’t have to do that, but…”

“No, I will definitely follow you. I will come back stronger.”

“…Do whatever you want.”

That day, a girl made a firm decision.

The next day, a gorgeous quad carriage with the Bernstein family coat of arms left the mansion.
