chapter 9
Among the aristocrats who wished to enter <Skientia>, there were many who were exposed to threats due to political issues.
To put such people under the protection of the [Solvent], of course, it would be easier to stay in a nearby place.
That’s why <Skientia> has many dormitories where students can stay and many convenient facilities.
In a sense, it could be called an academy city.
And I too was able to enter the dormitory thanks to Tia’s favor.
-Oz, I’ll put you in the best dormitory.
It is also the best dorm.
The tone somehow makes me feel like I’m going to quarantine rather than move in, but it’s probably okay.
Because it is a remote place, there are few people and the rooms are spacious.
Furthermore, there is no need to worry about noisy classmates or noise between floors. And I even have my own training ground. No wonder.
──Because I was the only one in this dormitory.
“… … I am quarantined.”
Even if I talk to myself, there is no answer that comes back. lonely.
If I used this spacious dormitory alone, I would only feel empty. And what about cleaning and eating?
I don’t know. I often liken magic to cooking, but in fact I don’t even know how to cook.
“Is there any food delivery?”
It can’t be, but… … .
Anyway, it’s finally time to start school. Is it really supposed to be a dragon?
When I left the dormitory early in the morning and was walking through the empty corridors, there seemed to be an unusually large number of windows.
“It looks like a mirror… … .”
I’m not sure what material it is, but it doesn’t seem like it’s just transparent. Do you like shiny things?
It must be that there is only a racial difference between a dragon and a crow.
[Contemplation – Activate]
The cold sky blue eyes glared at me through the window again.
What is different from the first time I saw him is that he is wearing a school uniform?
“Tsk… … .”

Know. Even if I activate [Contemplation] and stare at myself like this, there is nothing that can be a clue.
I knew that from the moment I escaped from the hotel. At that time, there was only one thing I could confirm through the mirror.
[Heir to the SSR King of Sorcery]
Oz Quo Vadis
There is only the clear truth that I have become Oz. There are still many secrets in [Contemplation] that I do not know.
Uncovering those secrets will be your future goal.
Of course, the first priority is survival, and the second priority is the main story of the game.
If Nana or Eleanor is defeated, it’s game over. Simple indeed.
Of course I have to stop dying, so saving Eleanor will be an additional goal.
It is a bonus to capture characters with good performance in between.
“Oz, Ozra… … .”
What was Oz usually like?
To be honest, I skipped all the male characters’ personal stories, so I don’t know the details. If a female is not interested, what will it be like to skip it?
I just remember that he is a character who is dignified and arrogant like a scion, but also surprisingly like a nice guy.
“Hmm… … .”
The school year starts from today.
It’s probably the first day, so it’ll end with an orientation, but I know that first impressions are important.
However, I cannot overlook the situation I am in right now.
If you behave normally, you become a target. We need to show that the existence of Oz is still alive and well.
“not bad.”
Looking in the mirror, I mumble. Certainly I was good-looking.
At this level, just actively using a cold impression will set the mood to some extent.
Of course, bluffing is important.
Inflating oneself will be the basis even in a fight.
Besides, this is the world inside the game. Even if you talk a little cheesy, there’s nothing to be looked at.
“But how can this not work?”
The biggest problem is [Contemplation].
It’s not possible to always spread pressure around you.
Just activating [Contemplation] made Lucia’s tail stiff and even made Professor Aira weep.
It seems that it was because of the background of Oz that made Professor Aira cry, regardless of [Contemplation], but that’s it.
“Even if I do this, nothing will change… … .”
I tried using my palms to hide my eyes, but the pressure was still there.
On the contrary, the blue eyes leaking through my fingers made me feel sick.
I was researching various poses, such as covering one eye while looking in the mirror or activating [Contemplation] moment by moment pretending to brush my hair up.
“hehehehe~”
Found a familiar person.
What can be seen through the window is silver hair tinged with blue. It is Eleanor, a girl who hides her loneliness behind her smiling face.
Unlike the first time I saw her, she was wearing a school uniform.
It feels a bit familiar now.
“What else do you want to do?”
Eleanor was running around with a huge greatsword.
I feel once again that I can carry such a great sword like that, but it is a great physical ability.
It feels worse than that.
My gut tells me she’s up to something.
“Young car.”
Standing in front of Tia’s statue, she said confidently.
“Okay, shall we break it then?”
* * *
Inside <Skientia>, there were quite a few statues of Tia.
Would she be offended by destroying one of those many statues? The one who loves human life?
Let’s say the answer first. You will probably be very angry.
She is a dragon with more self-love than anyone else. She is morbidly obsessed with her authority.
It is said that I am not the only one who is looked down on and then becomes a big problem.
Unlike me, she has the power to burn everything if she goes wrong, but that’s not enough to let troublesome things go unnoticed.
[Solvent] is the overwhelming strongest.
That was the opinion of the public, and it is a truth that will never be overturned.
How long did it take to create that perception?
What should be done to show the ability to be friendly to humans and not dare to match?
The conclusion is simple. It is to crush the challenger thoroughly and overwhelmingly.
And destroying the statue was an act sufficient for her to accept as a challenge.
As a result? Eleanor will be hospitalized for several months with all her bones shattered.
Then the main story is all twisted from the first chapter. If it’s twisted so much that I can’t help myself, I can’t respond.
“Stop it you stupid bastard!”
there is no time to go back As it was, he smashed the window with his body and headed for the place where Eleanor was.
Tia told me not to crash, but I already did. I’m worried about what kind of sound I’ll hear later.
“Oh, master? What’s going on? Breaking a window is against the school rules, right?”
“You who is about to smash the statue say that? No, more than that, why am I your teacher?”
“Master… … Are you a master?”
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting a straight answer either.
Even when I looked at this guy in the first person in the game, I didn’t understand it, but could it be different in the second person?
“And I didn’t mean to break it. I was trying to demolish it.”
“Who do you want?”
“If there are so many, wouldn’t it be okay to put up a statue of me at least one of them?”
“… … What nonsense are you talking about?”
It is said that they feel fear from beings beyond the scope of their understanding.
now i am The existence of Eleanor is terrifying.
“Quickly put down that knife. If you do something wrong, you will be expelled?”
“Master made a mushroom cloud, but it was fine, right? If that’s okay, won’t I be okay too?”
“… … .”
what is that logic? It’s surprising at the point where there was an unexpected thought.
It’s surprising in a different way to think that the idea will work, but… … . The fact that thoughts were added to that thoughtless action itself is fear.
“You and I have different positions.”
“Actually, I also… … . Huh!”
Are you trying to reveal your identity? Are you insane?
Unstable. I don’t know if he had any intention of hiding his identity.
It can be said that it is a natural anxiety that comes along at the point of being a servant in the first place, but the child is too lax.
“Hmm, hmm… … . But Master.”
“Can’t I just stop being a teacher?”
To be honest, it’s kind of like being treated that way by you. It’s just humiliating.
“Then brother?”
“Just call me Master.”
If you don’t want to call me by name, at least you can call me oppa. What is hyungnim?
“okay. Then Master. Destroy the statue… … I mean, I was trying to remove it. In fact, it’s already too late.”
“What… … ?”
Eleanor scratched her head and pointed at the ankle of the statue, which was already scratched.
How did this happen? You must have dried it before swinging it?
“Actually, I tried to do it with an axe, but it didn’t work, so I brought my own weapon.”
“This crazy… … .”
The plan I made to prepare for the main story flows like a panorama.
“… … Let’s stick it.”
“Will that be enough?”
And I barely catch on going straight to the trash can.
have to fix it somehow
“Should we pour some glue on it and stick a piece of metal on it?”
“As I say, I wonder if the master’s plan is lax.”
“It would be nice if you knew, but are you really saying that?”
Did you dare to do something?
“Get the grass first.”
“If damage to the statue is a problem, it would be better to entrust it to a professional company rather than such a crude method. The Prince of Oz.”
“… … .”
Looking back, fortunately or unfortunately, there was an existence that had intruded before the matter could not be rectified.
They were all pointing their weapons at me.
Quite a menacing attitude, but not an aggressor.
[SR Blue Shield]
olivia blue
Because they are a member of the leadership team responsible for the peace of <Skientia>.
A girl with her blue hair neatly tied back.
A Holy Knight belonging to <Shield of Light> who protects the saintess.
“For now, would you both calmly follow me to the lead room?”
Olivia Blue speaks to me with cold eyes.
Rather, I don’t know why they surround me and treat me as the ringleader.
It’s unfair.
“Do you think it is right to inflict such harm without knowing the exact truth of the incident?”
“… … Are you going to make an excuse even though I caught you as a red-handed criminal for destroying the statue of the head of the academy?”
“This is not what I did.”
“Yes. This is what I did! It’s my achievement!”
Olivia’s expression instantly turns from sorry to embarrassment.
She’s the first person like Eleanor to be so proud of being a criminal.
“First of all, I apologize, Prince Oz. Since the head of the academy told me to keep an eye on you, I naturally assumed that you did it.”
“… … .”
uh? How is my image now?
Are you a troublemaker who doesn’t know what to do at any moment, rather than an aloof and high-pressure image that is hard to reach?
That I, and not Eleanor, acquired that dishonorable title?
No, it’s done. It is enough to renew the image at any time. For now, let’s focus on the fact that we survived.
“Then acquittal?”
“Yes, I apologize again for blindly doubting you.”
That’s a pretty polite attitude. I’m glad that people themselves aren’t bad.
“Ah, by the way, is the woman over there at the window over there?”
“That’s what Master did!”
Eleanor said with a proud expression, as if she didn’t steal someone else’s ball.
Is this kid really not helping at all?
“Prince of Oz. It may be cumbersome, but would you please come with me?”
“yes… … .”
* * *
The place where Olivia took me and Eleanor was a forest a little far away.
“Uh… … . uh uh… … ?”
Is it because there are no people around and it is exceptionally quiet?
I could see that Eleanor was beginning to develop a sharp sense of uneasiness.
“Woo-wook… … .”
In fact, they were taken to the forest without saying anything.
It is natural to be anxious.
Moreover, the disease she is interested in corresponds to the real disease. I think I heard that it is close to theatrical personality disorder.
That’s why she might be experiencing some kind of separation anxiety now that she’s been away from people’s attention.
He’s a very troublesome guy.
“Tsk… … .”
She must be close to her true self now, embracing one arm and pathetically examining her surroundings.
What’s more, the guides who are taking us in are on guard, but they don’t open their mouths. not giving a glance
Building a perfect encirclement, they are just looking ahead and moving mechanically. That’s why Eleanor feels isolated.
“Noah.”
As I slowed down my steps and approached Eleanor, I saw an expression of uneasiness.
From the perspective of the lead team, it will be no different from the way other students are being dragged, so it will be hard to notice.
“The Prince of Oz?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to worry about.”
Olivia sends me outright suspicion. Well, it’s only natural that I had an accident a little while ago.
At least, I saw a lot of things that stopped with words.
“We will start the operation from now on.”
“Yes Yes… … ?”
Honestly, I don’t know what to say to a girl with a real mental illness.
It’s not the kind of thing that can be comforted with simple words from the beginning of the problem she’s holding now.
If it could have been solved so simply, would I have been a psychiatrist or played this dog-pig game?
So, let’s solve it by creating a situation that makes her happy.
that’s the best i can do
“I wrote the details here, so check it out.”
“Yeah… … ?”
He gives Eleanor a note with nothing written on it and says a meaningful line.
After all, the purpose is to satisfy her need for attention.
“Prince of Oz What now… … ?!”
“Shall we begin?”
Olivia has nothing to worry about. But I never said I wouldn’t get into an accident.
What she was worried about in the first place was whether I would do anything wrong.
It’s different from making a stage for her to enjoy.
“uh? Oz Master this… … .”
“Everyone prepare for magic!”
Around the time Eleanor was confused while checking the note.
At the same time as Olivia screamed as if in a fit, the beginner magic she had interpreted as a demonstration by Professor Aira a while ago was deployed.
The wizard in <Broken Sky> has a role as a damage dealer, but it is more used as a debuffer or variable creation.
For each attribute, there was a status ailment that was given to the opponent.
Typical examples include burns, paralysis, freezing, restraint, confusion, blindness, and… … .

“Ugh?!”
beginner magic
[Wind Bomb]
It’s an N-rank, so unless you hit it directly, you can’t expect much power.
However, because of that, he was able to push Eleanor, who was surrounded by the leaders, far away without getting hurt.
“uh? uhh… … ? Oh, cha-cha!”
The [Wind Bomb] exploded at Eleanor’s feet and sent her flying.
Eleanor, who floated in the air for a moment and then landed on the edge, looked at me and the note alternately.
As a result, about half of the leaders turn their eyes toward her.
I raise my alertness to the utmost and stare intently.
“Well… … .”
I’m paying attention to the incident where I delivered the note while forcibly escaping her, to be exact.
[The Sorcerer King’s successor] is trying to commit something. And the perpetrator is a girl named Noah.
this is true Isn’t this a situation that Eleanor, the seed of interest, would really like?
Eleanor must have realized this as well, and carefully put the note with nothing written on it into the pocket inside her uniform, smiling like a mischievous child.
For her show with a slightly conceited smile, I also speak with a meaningful expression.
“Can’t I get caught?”
“Do not worry! teacher. I will definitely defend this note no matter what! I will never forget the sacrifice of my master!”
As soon as those words were finished, the chase between Eleanor and the leaders began.
