chapter 22
expression(2)
Having gained a new base, I had to move to the next classroom without even enjoying it.
In fact, the two-hour lecture had a vague feeling from the beginning.
A time that feels short because of what we do, and long because we do not do it.
You should enjoy the club room until you get tired of it later.
With that decision, I said goodbye with tears in my eyes.
It is very regrettable that I cannot participate in the activities of the nap club that I heard from Christine earlier.
As it is, it is evening as the last lecture of the day is over.
Medusha and Persia, who were finally freed from the nomadic conditions, returned with a bright expression.
But as soon as they enter the room, their faces harden.
“Dear Master. You did a great job today.”
“Sylvia?”
Sylvia was waiting inside the dormitory just like yesterday.
But unlike yesterday, I didn’t expect it at all.
Are you trying to make a fool’s errand again?
She waved her hand as soon as we showed a clear vigilance.
“I reported to the handmaiden this morning… I can’t help it that I couldn’t take the master, but if you don’t want to be buried in the garden, I’d like you to take me safely next to me…”
I expressed my displeasure while sticking my tongue out at the very realistic threat.
It is not pleasant to see one more member of the military family here.
“So, you want to live in the dormitory?”
“No. I can’t take care of my dear master. This academy’s expenses are quite heavy.”
He broke in for two days in a row and spoke well.
As I was shivering from the rising anxiety, my imagination became a reality.
“So I’m thinking of taking the transfer test altogether.”
“Isn’t the difficulty of the transfer exam here a joke? And what excuse are you going to use?”
The Royal Magnus Summoning Academy is a place where new students are swept away by midterm exams.
However, the entrance exam is not easy.
It will not be accepted unless there is a special reason in the first place.
Sylvia hears my question and explains the plan with lifeless eyes.
“My dear master was attacked, so I’m going to apply for transfer for the purpose of escorting. In fact, I know that there are many cases where the sons of knights entered for that purpose.”
The children of that knight’s family were swept away in the last midterm exam.
You attacked him, and he said he was going to escort him.
One excuse is a masterpiece.
Medusha, who was standing next to me like Asura, asks a sharp question.
“Tuition?”
“There is no application from the home family. Unconditionally receive a full scholarship…”
“Oh, yes? Try hard.”
I smiled softly and prayed for Sylvia’s well-being.
On the practical side, it’s perfect, but her handwriting is really bad.
In particular, liberal arts subjects such as kingdom history are difficult.
A little trembling at my reaction, she asks carefully.
“Are the transfer exams very difficult?”
“It’s me, I don’t know. But common sense, isn’t it much more difficult than the midterm exam?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Then, even if the master gives a special lecture…”
“Lewis can’t even keep up with the progress. I can’t afford to help you!”
Medusha screaming from the side.
I gave a quick warning, being aware of the ears of my neighbors.
I went home relatively early today, so I don’t think there will be any major problems.
By the way, even though I am second in grade, the evaluation is very poor.
In the end, Sylvia, who accepted her fate, started drinking green tea with a detached expression.
In principle, cooking is prohibited in the dormitory, but everyone does this to this extent.
I just moved to the sofa to review.
Eventually, when the teacup was placed on the table, Medusha’s eyes, who were sitting with her arms crossed, fell on it.
After waiting for Sylvia to turn, she quickly unwrapped her arms and took a quick sip.
I am glad that you seem to have liked our Youngji’s main product.
Sylvia, noticing Medusha’s journey, said cautiously.
“There is also tea and coffee. All of the best products raised by the maid. If you can use an oven, you can also make snacks…”
“… Lewis, I think I can teach you to study later if you have more time.”
Having obtained his permission, I sat Sylvia across from him and started a special lecture.
If she were to be used instead of compost, it would be a bad product.
The next morning after spending one night with a family who is not very new.
After finishing all the morning lectures, I headed to the library.
Now that there is a base called the club room, there is no need to struggle to get a chair, but…
Still, there is still work to be done.
In fact, it should be said that this business is much more suited to the original purpose of the library.
“Um, which one should I do?”
“Ah, Medusa-sama. How about that book with a fox?”
“Be quiet, stupid fox. When you start reading, you fall asleep within 5 minutes.”
Summoned beasts scan the bookshelves while making noise.
I choose a book to read while I study.
Fortunately, the library’s collection was very rich.
Not only books related to summoning arts, but also novels and history books.
Seeing that there are books with strange contents or forbidden books, it seems that if they are published in the kingdom, I will unconditionally buy one at a time.
Of course, the books designated as forbidden books are locked with thick chains and magic locks.
In order to access it, you need to get permission.
While Medusha and Persia are fighting hard.
I glanced at the covers of the books with the locks on them.
I’m tired of reading difficult major books, so I’m more interested in the other side.
If you don’t do it in the first place, you’ll want to do it more.
‘The Secret Life of Countess Leira?’
A red forbidden book with a very interesting title.
As if many seniors tried to read it, the side part was slightly peeled off.
Of course, there seems to be very few cases where permission to read has been issued.
Unlike the side of the book, the locked front is very clean.
While I was sadly kicking my tongue and putting my hand away.
Another forbidden book next to him naturally reached his hand.
‘Multidimensional Travel Log’.
It is a book with an excessively short title, and even the author is not mentioned.
Who would read a book with this title?
look right next door
Doesn’t it attract the reader’s interest even before the book is opened?
By the way, the title is made like this.
The moment I was giving the author of a multi-dimensional travel log an arrogant hunsu.
Medusha and Persia have finally reached an agreement.
As I was about to go for a loan, I was completely blocked by men and women in unfamiliar outfits.
“Well?”
“Sir Count Elcloud. Could you please come over here for a moment?”
Although the minimum level of courtesy is maintained, a harsh voice that does not allow objections.
It was only after I saw the royal coat of arms and the chain insignia that I realized their identities.
Dimension Watch.
A special organization directly under the royal family that monitors the taboo violations of summoners.
“Huh? What? Why are the guards suddenly…”
“Have you ever seen them come out of the room?”
“No. Actually, I saw your face for the first time today.”
Students who notice the incident from afar and gossip.
The black uniform of the Dimensional Guard is bound to attract attention anytime, anywhere.
Since this library is also a royal facility, there was a guard station in place…
Why are they suddenly grabbing me?
I decided to move along with them.
It’s not very pleasant to go up and down in the cubicles of luxury people like this.
Trembling through the hallway into an empty room, they lock the door.
Medusha is still by my side, so it’s probably not just for the purpose of intimidation.
A woman presumed to be a superior sits across from each other more or less formally.
An overly ambitious subordinate stood beside him with a look as if he was interrogating a criminal.
I was about to feel a little nauseous because of that, but I soon regained my composure.
No matter how I look at it, I haven’t done anything wrong.
Soon the female dimension watcher said to his subordinate.
“Entos. Check carefully the log of the alarm spell.”
“Yes. At around 13:45, El Cloud contacted the forbidden book, ‘Multidimensional Travel Log’. After confirming that an alarm had occurred, we went to the scene and arrested him.”
“arrest?”
When Medusha, sitting next to me, showed her displeasure, my supervisor slightly corrected it.
“You were responding to the guard’s request for interrogation, not arrest. I apologize for the rudeness of my subordinate.”
I nodded my head roughly and felt a strong sense of discomfort.
After listening to the story, I think I came to this place because I touched the multidimensional travel log…
Clearly, there must be something more hidden.
In the first place, if a book is forbidden enough to be caught just by touching it, there is no way that it will remain in the library.
The superiors drew their own conclusions as if they had already understood.
“It’s a warning spell error. It’s supposed to be El Cloud, maybe it’s a multidimensional travel log. It can only be called bad luck…”
After talking to herself as if she could barely hear her, she faces me again and asks.
“But I’ll ask just in case. Sir, why do you put your hand on the multidimensional travel log?”
“That’s when I accidentally touched on ‘The Countess Leira’s Secret Life’…”
I was deeply conflicted inside, so I decided to just let it go.
If you lie here and get caught, I don’t think there will be any real recovery.
The guards staring blankly at my confession.
Soon, the captain slowly nodded his head in agreement.
“The Secret Life of Countess Leira… It’s a very hot masterpiece. All right. You’re welcome.”
“Wait a minute! There must be a reason the alarm spell worked…”
An impatient subordinate intervened, but the superior gave a rather bitter glance.
While he is making the look he wants to miss.
Medusha, unable to bear the frustration, screamed.
“Wait, no matter how much the Dimensional Guard, you are asking good nobles to come and go! You brought them here as if they were taking them in front of everyone, so explain the situation properly.
“The mission of the Dimension Watch requires confidentiality. My duty to explain that…”
“Sleep on duty. Lewis answered your call and answered honestly and honestly. Now it’s your turn.”
Medusha drives the guards with her ax eyes open.
Persia, who was occupying my right side, saw her like that and whispered softly.
“Medusha unnie looks really cool sometimes.”
“You’re a goddess. I’m already in love.”
While we chatted for a while, the guards were sweating profusely and spinning their horses.
Looking at it so far, it seems that there is definitely something there.
Medusha, who had been repeating meaningless questions and answers briefly, grunted her teeth and asked a subordinate among the crew.
“Then can you tell me about your names?”
“Guardian of the Dimensional Watch, Jessie Seafront…”
“Cyprontra. A commoner. Is that also from a seaside town?”
Medusha smiles as if she has found a delicious prey.
Thanks to this, the male guards appeared to be furious… But Medusha was not mocking his origins.
While the senior watcher tightly closed his eyes, a new threat began.
“It’s obvious to say that it’s our kingdom’s beach. It’s only in the South. And Euryale’s sister is there.”
“Gee, what are you talking about…”
“I still often send and receive letters with my sisters. But Euryale has a quick and rough temper, so I don’t know how she will react when she hears this news. My beloved brother’s summoner was insulted so much…”
The second of the three snake gods, Euryale is the sea snake god.
An S-Rank Summon that freely controls not only nearby snakes, but also large monsters such as Sea Serpents.
She usually has the best fighting power among the three sisters.
Thanks to Euryale’s presence, the Dukes of Beltern were able to forge an impossible route.
It is thanks to her that the duke is now in charge of the kingdom’s transportation business.
A person from a seaside town was hardening his face.
Medusha let out a small sigh and continued complaining.
“Of course, Euryale will not harm humans directly. But if the goddess of the sea trembles in anger, tidal waves and storms will come. It is inevitable that one or two villages will be washed away in the chaos.”
“Gee, I’m threatening the Dimensional Watch…”
“No. I’m worried about the people of your hometown right now. It would be better if you help me end my worries with rain.”
Medusha faces Jesse Seafront with her eyes open.
She wouldn’t really cause such a carnage, but…
A guy who cares so much about his summoner.
I am blessed.
As I was deeply moved, the superior sighed and shook his head.
“Stop it. All right. Instead, I hope the conversation in this room never gets leaked.”
“Seniors?”
“good.”
After learning the truth thanks to Medusha’s help, I smiled and listened.
But for a while.
After hearing the story at least roughly, I couldn’t control my contorted expression.
“Your Majesty, Earl of Elcloud, came here through a simple misunderstanding. The name of the family caused the alarm spell to malfunction.”
“Even if this academy was called El Cloud, I was the only one…”
not.
After a rather stupid response, I finally realized the truth of the incident.
The watchman who nodded his head mercilessly affirmed my suspicions.
“Your Count’s eldest brother… Russell Elcloud is secretly wanted for contact with Earth. An order has been issued to kill him as soon as he was discovered 15 years ago.”
“I beg your pardon?”
I was confused, but I didn’t need any further explanation.
The blood was completely drained from his body.
