chapter 31
“The F class dormitory… … Are two people sharing a 5-pyeong bedroom? If you put in the furniture like the bed, desk, and wardrobe, there will be little room to move around.”
Of course, costs were set accordingly.
“Well, since I decided to support everyone in the Spey One family… … .”
I had to pay 5 gold coins a year just to use the A class dormitory.
It was truly amazing to pay an amount of 50 million won every year just to use the dormitory.
On the other hand, 10 silver coins a year are enough for the F class dormitory.
“Well, because the size of the facilities and bedrooms are so different.”
Of course, the dormitory is only for those who will use it. Students who want to go to school can freely commute between the academy and their home.
At the same time, it seems that there are quite a few cases where students of Class A use F class dormitories due to cost issues.
“Well, it’s not easy to find a room or building around the academy, so there’s nothing you can do about that. More than that… … Do students commuting to school travel about 10 to 30 minutes by circular wagon?”
The moment I was muttering while looking through the academy’s pamphlet, someone approached me.
Tumble.
“Hey~ Are you an incompetent member of the famous Spey One family?”
“Hmm?”
A young man with a height of 170 cm.
He smiled mischievously as he approached me. Anyone could see that he had a stern face like the villain 1.
And after that, the two boys followed them around like thugs.
“I am Vernon H Hardo. He is the second son of the Hardo family. This time, like you, I will be a freshman.”
“Poem, freshman?”
I can’t believe he was a freshman.
By the way, it seems that the two boys following Vernon are also freshmen who will be entering the academy this time.
Vernon was taller than most of his peers, and as if he was overpowering himself, he widened his eyes at me and curled up his lips.
“I heard you have an ugly face… … . Wasn’t that Then, while still attending class F, I can seduce a decent young noblewoman.”
I’m not some kind of succubus or incubus, I’m bewitching people… … .
I would like you to refrain from making such misleading remarks. Well, there’s no need to fall prey to a child’s provocation.
“Well, that would be nice.”
I replied with a grave expression.
Then Vernon’s eyebrows twitched.
Why do you look like you’ve been provoked?
“Something like trash abandoned by the Spey One family… … .”
“… … .”
I stared at him with an expressionless expression.
“The first F-class of the Spey One family will come out.”
“No way~ Will there ever be an F class?”
As I shrugged and smiled, his face grew more stern.
“Trash like you… … .”
Just as he was grinding his teeth and was about to swear at me, a beautiful voice came from the left.
“trash… … ?”
I closed my eyes as if I had heard sweet music.
It’s definitely a beautiful voice.
On the other hand, Vernon turned his head in surprise.
After a while, the sound of shoes stopped beside me.
I opened my eyes and looked at the beautiful protagonist with a small smile.
“What kind of fly called my brother ‘garbage’ just now?”
“So, Sophia senior… … ?”
The main character of the beauty was none other than sister Sophia.
Vernon looked at his sister with a bewildered expression.
I almost burst into laughter at the sight of it.
Meanwhile, older sister crossed her arms and glared at Vernon with a cold gaze.
“Why am I your senior? I don’t know you.”
“I-I will be entering this year… … .”
“it’s okay. I’m not curious about your name. Besides, do I have to have a junior who calls my younger brother trash? Find a senior that matches your level.”
Sofia’s vicious words made Vernon a dumb drunk.
I shrugged my shoulders and gave Vernon a small smile.
Sister suddenly grabbed my hand. and left the place.
“Ah, the entrance exam is coming soon… … .”
“I kept him as you asked.”
I put on a slightly surprised expression at my sister’s one word.
Could it be that I can meet him so quickly?
One of the people he had to meet to obtain the title was the third prince of the Labadian Empire, Ryard E Labadian, who would be promoted to the 3rd year this year.
By the way, my older sister showed off her excellent swordsmanship and said that she would be advancing to Class A for the 2nd year this year.
Perhaps thanks to her high score in the practical test, she became the idol of the academy.
And beside her, as in the original story, three men were together.
“This way.”
My sister took me into the first swordsmanship faculty building.
and… … .
smart smart
“Your Highness, Sophia has arrived.”
The young butler was waiting in front of the door of the small meeting room of the swordsmanship department. He knocked on the door three times and announced our arrival inside.
Suddenly, a young boy’s voice was heard from beyond the door.
“come in.”
At the same time, a young butler who appeared to be in his thirties opened the door to the small meeting room.
The moment I tried to take a few deep breaths to relax.
“Let’s go in.”
I was dragged into my sister’s hand again.
‘Oh, I haven’t even taken a deep breath yet… … !’
I quickly shook my head vigorously. And he hid his nervous expression as much as possible.
Stepping into the small meeting room, I faced a huge rectangular table.
Luxurious chairs for 11 people with a table at the center.
Then, a golden-haired boy sitting on the table of honor and resting his chin on his head came into view.
“Meet Your Highness the Prince.”
My sister bowed her head towards the boy, and I greeted him with my eyes closed.
“nice to see you. I am… … .”
“Ah, it’s okay to introduce yourself. You are a very famous person in this empire.”
light-hearted tone. It certainly looks like the original.
I raised my head and met the boy’s gaze.
Episode 28
28. Central Academy (2)
“so… … Why did you say you wanted to see me? If Sophia asks me for a favor, I’m sure it’s something important.”
At Ryard’s question, I cut back and got to the point. There was less than an hour left until the entrance exam.
Moreover, according to what I heard from my sister, Prince Ryard did not like unnecessary introductions in a serious atmosphere.
“first… … I would like to receive your noble recommendation.”
“Hmm? It’s a really sudden story. More than that, does Sophia know about it?”
“yes.”
At Ryard’s question, Sister nodded once.
He must have doubted whether my remarks were a joke or the rudeness of an ignorant child.
But with his sister’s affirmation, he lifted his chin, removed his right hand, changed his expression and glared at me.
“If you are playing a prank on me now, there will be a price to pay. Even if you are the third son of the Spey One family.”
“My liver isn’t big enough to play pranks on His Highness.”
At my answer, Ryard smiled and crossed his legs.
“so… … What’s the price? I’m curious what merits I can get by recommending you as a noble. Surely you won’t tell me there’s no benefit to me?”
I nodded at his question.
“Of course, I made some preparations, but first… … Your Highness will be able to place a 4th Circle mage under you.”
He tilted his head, narrowing his brows.
“Isn’t it too sudden? Where did the 4th Circle Wizard come from all of a sudden?”
surely… … Even if I think about it, it’s a story that is too out of the blue.
I took a small breath and continued speaking.
“Now I have mastered the magic of the 4th circle. And if talent alone is considered, it is not impossible to reach the level of the Fifth Circle.”
“… … Are you kidding me right now?”
I swallowed my saliva at the sight of his bloody expression.
If someone who seems kind but is mischievous is genuinely angry, it is more frightening than someone who gets angry often.
However, despite his bloody eyes, I kept my poker face.
“If you think I am playing a joke, order the knight waiting in the ceiling to decapitate me.”
At my answer, Ryard gave a slightly surprised expression.
And I thought about it for a while, did I clear my head? He laughed and looked at Sophia.
“Brother and sister are on good terms with this empire… … No, you cheated on this continent.”
After uttering that one word, he looked back at me.
“Does Count Spayone know about your abilities?”
“You probably don’t know.”
“But what is the purpose of coming now and revealing the fact to me? I can’t help but think that the Spey One family sent you with something dark in mind.”
Of course, you will feel a lot of uncertainties.
Besides, parents who don’t even know their child’s abilities. He will be erratic in many ways.
However, the Speiwon family had continuously supported the crown prince, and did not foresee the possibility that the third prince, Lyard, would become emperor.
He also supports the crown prince, so it’s safe to say that he’s still on the same side as Spey One.
In a word, his doubts are really useless as of now.
What plans could the world’s Speiwon family have against the third prince?
“Kheum, what I want is independence from the Spey One family. Not only will the SpayWon family, who have supported Her Highness the Crown Prince, have no plans for anything from now on, and if Count SpeyWon had known of my abilities, he would never have engaged the Rose family.”
“Hmm… … . Well, it’s not wrong.”
As he pondered for a moment with his arms crossed, I smiled slightly as I checked my watch.
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if Your Highness refuses my request. I just ask that you think positively.”
“If I refuse here, you’re going to go to your brothers, right?”
“… … I will not deny it.”
At my answer, Ryard smiled and slammed the table with his palm.
Taang!
“Okay, if you prove that you are a 4th Circle mage, I will recommend you as a hereditary nobleman to my father. But no matter how highly you buy your talent, you won’t be able to hand over a high rank higher than a count… … . I will try to confer the title of baron or viscount with some of my present estates.”
Well, I didn’t think that I would be able to accept the high rank of count at once.
The title of count is awarded just because the talent of a child without a major is highly valued? Not only the aristocratic faction, but also the nobles of the imperial faction would surely cause a strong backlash.
At least, if it ends at the line of a lower rank, it will be quiet for a while, even if it catches the attention of Spey One.
“All right. If you want to see my ability with your own eyes, I would appreciate it if you could visit the 3rd Practical Test Center at 2:00 PM.”
At my remark, Ryard readily nodded.
“Okay, I’ll cancel my schedule for this afternoon and observe your entrance exam myself.”
It would have been a situation he didn’t even want to get a 4th circle mage as a vassal.
Besides, if a boy who is only 13 years old is really a 4th circle wizard, they would think that the possibility of reaching the 5th circle in the future is strong. Considering only his talent, he has already surpassed the Master of the Magic Tower.
“Well then, I have a written test, so excuse me first.”
“okay. Oh, Sophia, can you stay for a while?”
“… … I have to take my little brother to the test site.”
Sister grabbed my sleeve and shook her head.
Then Ryard laughed bitterly and scratched his head.
“Then can you come back here after taking him?”
Sophia narrowed her brows as if she couldn’t help it and nodded.
“All right. then… … .”
No way, to make such an expression against the prince. also my sister
That’s how my sister and I turned our backs from the small meeting room in the 1st Swordsmanship Faculty building.
* * *
The small meeting room of the 1st Swordsmanship Faculty Building where Kayneth and Sofia were away.
Left alone in the conference room, Ryard closed his eyes for a moment. And let out a small sigh.
“ha… … . Felt, I never thought you’d get caught.”
Taat.
“… … sorry.”
Lyard’s escort knight, Felt, who was waiting on the ceiling, lowered his head as if to apologize as he landed on the right side of Lyard.
