Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

chapter 8



8 – Denbergen Academy (1)

“I know you’re not feeling well, but you can’t just stay at home forever. It seems that your father also wants you to go to school and get better slowly.”

“Fighting boy!”

“Thanks, Charlotte… ….”

Strangely, even though Charlotte cheered her up, she didn’t feel energized at all.

She didn’t really hate going to the academy.

It’s just a little disheartening to hear that the peaceful daily life has been disrupted.

In addition, it was not unexpected, as the average age of first-year academy students, 17, was approaching.

‘Shall I think positively?’

When you don’t feel like something, it’s best to motivate yourself strongly.

Yes, rather, if you gradually spread your feet starting with the academy, the day you meet them may come.

Of course, I don’t expect the development of accidentally bumping into those children at the academy.

However, wouldn’t the academy be the cornerstone for me to widen the dense network of human relationships, starting with my classmates?

‘That’s true, because the academy is a social gathering place.’

This is where my deeply rooted prejudice against the academy comes into play.

Academies are often considered sacred places of education.

It is also said to be a learning ground that teaches how to handle mystical magic and transforms students into strong warriors and outstanding scholars.

But I knew the reality was different.

‘Academy is a sacred place of education? A place to learn?’

Not at all, at least as far as I know.

For aristocratic students, it is a meeting place where they familiarize themselves with the people they will meet later in high places.

For commoner students who rarely enter, the academy is the place to get a chance to turn your life around by catching an aristocratic wife or husband.

It was deplorable to say that I didn’t study like I was told to do, and that being friends or dating was my main job.

‘When I was a big school, bad rumors circulated.’

Although my thoughts are 500 years old and creaky and dusty, I don’t think things have changed much now.

It’s the same as saying that they’re going to leave Charlotte right away and pick me up.

If the academy is really a place to discover talent, then rather than taking me who has nothing to show for being stuck at home just because I’m an aristocrat, I should take a smart commoner like Charlotte!

In the past, when I told Justina that it was my dream to build a school, I said it with the intention of creating a real school.

Just then, Louisa looked up at Charlotte, who was standing there.

“But Charlotte, why are you cheering?”

“Yes? I feel good when you do well… Yo. This?”

“No no, you are my junior too. So, you and Deneb are in a set. The two of you are entering the academy right away.”

“Yes, yes?! Miss, that, what do you mean?!”

…… What?

Only then did I begin to open my ears a little.

Has the academy, like me, caught the talent of a talented person named Charlotte and judged it as a talent worth teaching in its own way?

“I-I dare to go to the academy… ….”

“No… Why are you both reacting like this? Did you always dig old books in your father’s study, and your way of thinking went back hundreds of years?”

“What’s different about the academy these days?”

“Huh, it’s an academy these days. As if you’re not a human these days….”

Louisa gave her a small snort and she sat down at the table for dinner and began her academy briefing session.

“Before we talk, of course you know that the academy I am talking about is the best Denbergen academy in the empire, right?”

“I didn’t know.”

“No, Deneb You are this baby, you don’t know the school you go?!”

“Let’s not swear at the table, sister.”

“Uh… sorry.”

Clearing her throat, Louisa continued her explanation.

“So, it’s not a place built by geeky wizards in some rural corner to sell tuition money. I don’t even know why Charlotte is surprised. She says that even commoners will accept them as long as they have talent.”

“Yeah, but don’t you have to take a test or something? I’m good at it, I’m sure I’ll ruin it if I take a test like that…….”

“Don’t worry. The letter of recommendation written by my brother and father was passed on to the school. If you have the Magic Librarian as your master, you should be provided with this kind of convenience.”

“After all, it is the inheritance of wealth and privilege… ….”

“Deneb, you should just pass on that wealth and privilege to your children later.”

Luisa glared at me for a moment, then he cleared his throat lightly.

“Anyway, you can write a letter of recommendation, but it’s at the academy’s discretion to accept it. She judged that she, Charlotte, and she had the right conditions to be admitted here.”

“By the way, your brother wrote a letter of recommendation?”

“My father wrote it, to be exact. Her brother recommended her father for admission to Charlotte, so her father wrote her a letter of recommendation.”

She didn’t express it, but it gave her a little relief that her older brother recommended it.

Unlike his older sister, he was a savage in combat, but he was smart and had an excellent eye for people.

It was only because he recognized her Charlotte qualities before I did.

Anyway, whatever it was, listening to Louisa, a current student, seemed a bit different from the old academies I knew.

“So… Denbergen? Why did that school become the best?”

“Huh? Is it history again?”

“There must have been many academies before that. How on earth did you suddenly appear and get the best academy spot? That’s what I’m curious about.”

“Aha, but that’s worth it, the school system or curriculum is not comparable to other places. All of the professors are just great people.”

“Hmm, are there even archmages gathered here?”

“I don’t know because I’m in the combat department, but the magic department is more amazing, right? There are even rumors that the chairman is a dragon.”

“…… Dragon?”

I was so surprised that the knife that was slicing the meat went into force.

Wait, what did Luisa just say?

Rumor that the academy’s director is a dragon?

So, an academy headed by a dragon?

“What are you so surprised about? It’s just rumors, rumors. The head of the academy has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are all women and look so similar that rumors are circulating that they are the same person.”

“Well, then it could be an elf, right?”

“I’m sure he’s not an elf.”

“Why?”

When I asked, trying to hide her nervous expression, Louisa took a fork to bite the meat dripping with sauce and showed it to me.

“They say he really likes the meat that comes out of his studies.”

“Ah.”

After saying that, Louisa began chewing on the meat.

There was no noble elegance in that figure, but I didn’t care about that kind of thing now.

It’s just that I’m confused because I remember telling the dragon girl that it was my dream to build an academy.

‘No way… ….’

I didn’t want to expect too much.

Already, it was swelling up to a gigantic size inside me.

***

“Do, Do, Master, are you ready? ….”

“I finished it last night. How about you, Charlotte?”

“I-I prepared well… ….”

“Stop shaking.”

Time flies like a lightning bolt, and it’s time to leave for the academy.

No matter how far away from the academy you are, living in a dormitory is the rule of thumb once you enter the academy.

In other words, if you leave home today, you won’t come back to the Rehinar Mansion for at least one semester.

‘As long as you don’t get kicked out… ….’

Maybe that’s why my parents were very worried in many ways when they heard that their youngest son was leaving home.

In particular, her mother was still a child, and she made a fuss about her, asking what kind of school she was going to, and gave her presents, to the point of embarrassing me.

Did I act too untrustworthy in the eyes of my parents?

It was an opportunity for me to look back on myself.

“Wait, my son… Send a letter every week, okay?”

“Ha ha ha… again… I’m just going to school, okay?”

“I don’t know either. Unlike your older sister or reliable older brother, Deneb, why are you so worried? ….”

No, mother. In my previous life, I had invaded the royal palace alone and almost had the king’s head cut off, but the school would be a big deal.

“I’ll be back!!”

As she and Charlotte ran away from her mother, who asked if there was anything more to take, they left the mansion and saw something huge landing in the garden.

Ughh-!

“Do, boy. We’re going to ride that… ?”

“It’s Rehnar. You have to be at this level to be a noble.”

“Wow, cool… ….”

“…… Actually, I think so too.”

The identity of the huge object that landed in the garden is a magical airship.

It was a collection of magical engineering technologies that did not even exist 500 years ago.

‘I didn’t have anything like that back then. For humans to reach the sky…….’

Although I have already lived for 17 years, I am often astonished by technological advances.

Among them, the magnificent magical airship was a masterpiece.

Even I, a former commoner and current aristocrat, stare with my eyes wide open, and Charlotte will do more.

Actually, I didn’t have much experience going far outside the territory, so it was the first time I’d borrowed my father’s airship and rode it.

“Um, can I go closer now?”

“I don’t know, young master… ….”

“The wind is still blowing too hard. Won’t you get hurt by getting close?”

“Well, then, if someone comes down, will you come then?”

“Then. My father is busy and can’t come, and my sister said she’d come to pick me up, so he’ll definitely come to pick me up.”

Whoop!

Even after the magic airship completely landed on the ground, people were reluctant to get close to it because of the magical vortex that wrapped around the hull.

Of course, as an assassin who was not afraid of death, he was by no means intimidated.

It’s just an attitude that knows how to be wary of new technologies.

As I had talked with Charlotte, I was standing there waiting, and soon a woman in school uniform came down from the airship.

“What are you doing there?”

It was Luisa with her brown hair tied back in a ponytail.

I pressed down on her bangs, which fluttered in her wind, and as we reached the mouth of the airship, she struck dumbfoundedly through my head.

“Hey, after we landed, we should hurry up and get on. What were you doing?”

“It’s not your fault, Bocchan! I was scared and asked to wait a bit, so the young master just listened to me…….”

“Aha, was it like that? Well, Charlotte was a maid in charge of household chores, so seeing an airship for the first time wouldn’t be strange.”

Entering the airship, Louisa giggled at the sight of me and her Charlotte, tangled in the wind caused by her magical powers.

“Pu-Hup, no, but Charlotte’s school uniform suits her well. She always sees her in a maid uniform, but is she okay with a school uniform?”

“hehehe… Thank you, lady. The lady also has a very pretty school uniform.”

I listened to the pretentious conversation between the two women and looked at them alternately.

I’m angry, but I had no choice but to admit my sister’s words.

Charlotte, like a model born to wear her school uniform, is a gray coat from the Den Bergen Academy, a white shirt and a red tie that blend well with her slightly puffy breasts.

On the other hand, Louisa…….

“My sister needs to get a new school uniform.”

“Huh? Okay? It was a bit uncomfortable though.”

Your body has grown, but it’s just annoying that you didn’t get a new school uniform.

She looked very dangerous as if the buttons on her chest were about to burst, but if she was that woman, it wouldn’t be strange if she went around with her top uncovered.

Before she was a woman, she was also an older sister, and on top of that, she was a human being who fit the word barbaric aristocrat very well.

“What happened anyway? Originally, I heard her father was coming to pick her up, but it suddenly changed.”

“Ah, I don’t know too well. I’ve been on a trip He came straight to the destination just because the date was over, picked me up, and came right here.”

“You must have heard about it.”

Louisa tilted her head at my persistent questioning.

“I don’t know, you say you’re busy? It seems that there are a lot of confidential agendas in the center these days. You know, even though you are the librarian, if something big happens, Rehinar will always be called in to take a look.”

“Really? If my father steps in, whatever happens will be taken care of right away.”

Leaving Louisa shrugging her shoulders, I looked up and looked at the magic screen floating in the center of the airship.

A map of the area was drawn on the screen, and you could even find a route to the academy.

This was also a bit strange because it was a technology that did not exist 500 years ago, but what I focused more on was the location of the academy.

“Delin… ….”

“Yes?”

“No, nothing.”

Denbergen Academy was built in the place where the Delin kingdom once stood, none other than the vast empire territory.

You could call it a minor coincidence, but even this seemed like confirmation to me now.

Confirmed that the director of Denbergen Academy is Justina.

“Delin? Isn’t that the country that used to be?”

“Does your sister know something?”

“Well, I think I heard about it in history class.”

As I stared at him with twinkling eyes, Louisa scratched his head and added a word, probably pricked by conscience.

“Um, but I was sleepy so I don’t remember much other than the name.”

That’s right.

The magical airship carrying me, Charlotte, and Luisa was immersed in the clouds and flew smoothly toward Denbergen Academy.
