Chapter 18
The wizards were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
The wall is collapsing?
The walls of the Colosseum have not had even the slightest scratch for 300 years!
But here, Clifford was angry to the end instead of shocked.
“Hey, hey, you bastard! What should I do with this! oh my.”
Clifford rushed from the stands and grabbed the fallen brick. Bass, it broke down. Clifford’s hands trembled like aspen trees.
“300 years of history! “It is a product of history that has been carefully preserved since the time of my grandfather!”
Ruid tried to sneak out with cat-like eyes.
“Where are you running away from?”
Clifford grabbed the back of Lloyd’s neck and lifted him up. Ruid, who was very short compared to the tall Clifford, was dragged around in front of the president’s harsh eyes.
“You insolent thing, I know what you’ve done!”
Ruid rolled his eyes here and there, then took out a staff from his pocket and twirled it towards the collapsed wall.
“Go back.”
But as time passed, only silence lingered.
‘Isn’t that possible…?’
Ruid looked at Clifford with embarrassed eyes.
Clifford put it down on the floor with a dumbfounded expression. Ruid lost his balance for a moment and stumbled.
“Do you think that will happen? “The magic of time doesn’t work even if Archmage Delrin is reincarnated, you bastard!”
What magic can’t do is creation. And it was something that touched space and time.
Restoring a broken building seemed to be a matter of time. I was expecting it, but I was a little embarrassed because it didn’t work out.
“It’s better not to think about just moving on. “I’m going to send a huge bill to the Windsors!”
Ruid nodded his head calmly. I thought it would be a good thing if I could just move on from that, but – as expected, Clifford was not a pushover.
“But, you can’t just commit something like this and get away with it just because you were born into a good family. “I will punish you even more.”
‘It’s becoming a nuisance.’
I had no choice but to clean the president’s office or take classes.
“But before that. “Don’t you have something to say?”
Ruid blinked.
“If I made a mistake, what should I do first?”
Clifford trembled as his eyes turned bloodthirsty.
I put my hands together and bowed my head.
“sorry.”
Clifford spoke in a slightly subdued tone.
“Yeah, but next time I won’t let this go. “Now, I will tell you about the punishment.”
Clifford spoke with his back turned.
“Your punishment will be to lecture in front of everyone about the magic you just used.”
“…yes?”
The level of punishment was lower than expected, so Ruid opened his eyes round.
Clifford shouted.
“Didn’t I tell you to hold a magic briefing session? Or maybe you’ll get your butt spanked!”
“Oh, no! “I’m sorry!”
Ruid hurriedly ran away. Even though he was an undistinguished genius, Clifford, with his grim look and resemblance to a retired soldier, was scary.
**
When Ruid returned to his seat, many people were already competing for his seat.
These were people who were interested in the Windsor family siblings. The professor was also there. It was a professor with sunken cheeks, and he said something with a big gesture.
Amelia spoke expressionlessly without even turning her head in that direction. It was hard to hear people’s voices mixed together, but what was certain was that many people were scared and went back to their seats with just that one word.
“Ah, Louis.”
Amelia smiled brightly and waved her hand. Ruid sat next to me.
“What was it? “There were a lot of people.”
Amelia’s smiling expression stiffened slightly.
“How dare I ask you to hold a magic briefing session? “Lady Hercy said it was not good, so I was kicking him out.”
“huh?”
“I’m asking you to share the magic technique that Ruid just used without any compensation. “That is very rude to a wizard.”
Hersy gave a detailed explanation. Hercy’s expression was one of disapproval.
‘…was that something like that?’
Until just a moment ago, I was grateful for the president’s weak disposition. I guess it wasn’t something weak. The image of the president as a great educator was shattered.
“I’m fine.”
“yes?”
“Actually, I agreed to explain magic in exchange for destroying the Colosseum wall.”
Amelia frowned.
“Louis, I can’t ignore what you just said. “What did you do wrong?”
“I damaged the property, but it was my fault.”
Amelia opened her eyes hesitantly, but first denied it.
“It’s not? “My brother didn’t do anything wrong?”
I stroked Luid’s head. Amelia was just proud of Ruid. I thought it was an action that should be praised, let alone a mistake. Didn’t you break the magic of the great Delrin?
However, I was not going to tolerate it if the Academy gave Ruid any disadvantage.
“Amelia is right.”
Hersy helped.
“The Colosseum’s defensive magic must be able to protect the audience no matter what happens. The Academy has always boasted about that. But the fact that it was broken is the Academy’s fault, not Roid’s fault.”
-Please come out in the designated order and prepare for the magic battle. Let’s start practicing!
‘Magic practice’, which had stopped due to a brief commotion, resumed. The first sparring was just about to begin. Hercy watched it and continued.
“There may be moral responsibility, but that’s just a matter of charging repair costs. On the contrary, the Academy is criticized every year for being ‘too much of a magic barrier,’ and this is an even better opportunity to put that into perspective.”
Amelia was amazed. I hadn’t even thought of that.
‘Maybe it’s because he’s a friend of Ruid’s, so he’s smart.’
I was fortunate to become friends with a reliable child. Amelia liked Hercy.
“okay…?”
“four. So reject that offer. There is no need for Ruid to hold a magic briefing session and share information.”
Hercy said as if she was worried.
“If this happens again, people will continue to make unreasonable demands on Ruid. And you will inevitably be disappointed.”
For wizards, the word ‘sharing’ was bound to be sensitive.
It takes a lot of effort over generations to create a complete piece of magic.
It was because of this that there were only aristocrats who had wizards. Magic is a very difficult discipline to enter without learning, because the only magic that commoners can learn is simple magic that is open to everyone.
“That part is okay. “Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to follow it anyway.”
“…yes?”
“Well, the magic I used… wasn’t very effective.”
‘I should have done it in moderation. ‘Embarrassing.’
Ruid was embarrassed. This is because in order to use that magic, he spit out cringeworthy spells like ‘What is the wind…’.
And that meant that it was a level of magic difficulty that even the brilliant brain of ‘lazy Ruid’ could not attempt without proper spells.
Probably no one will be able to follow even if you tell them.
Above all, I didn’t like the magic itself that much. Even if I didn’t use a major accident, it was a magic that wasn’t as good as I thought and would never be used again.
There was no need to save or anything to teach me the discarding magic.
Even if the president thought it was a benefit, it was okay because there was no real harm.
“Still. “The problem is that Ruid is too naive.”
Amelia nodded, empathizing greatly.
“that’s right. The problem is that Louis is too naive. “How do I survive in this difficult world?”
“It’s Sister Ame who is naive. “Last time, I got scammed by a carriage and ended up sleeping on the street.”
When Luid immediately refuted, a crack was drawn between Amelia’s eyebrows.
“…Louis. “Your sister told you to keep that a secret, right?”
“…Is that so?”
Amelia smiled kindly and whispered.
“If you weren’t born cute, you would have been hit three times a day.”
I was scared because it seemed sincere. Ruid quietly watched the game.
“Uh, feather thief.”
At that moment, Justin was standing on the field.
‘right. There was a main character.’
I forgot for a moment, but today’s protagonist was Justin.
I probably made a pact to not pay attention anyway, so I wouldn’t get involved with the main characters unless something really special happened.
It’s different this time. Ruid said a little nervously.
“Hercy, do you remember what I said last time?”
“Sure. “Please don’t underestimate my memory.”
Hercy smiled proudly.
“You said you like lamb for lunch today, right? “I made a reservation at a suitable restaurant.”
“…There is that, but if you spar with a weak person, do your best.”
Hercy was puzzled, but nodded.
“Well… I personally think that the weak should be educated at eye level. Yes, if something like that happens, I will smash it to pieces.”
Ruid was just about to say that there was no need to destroy it.
Justin approached, glaring in this direction.
“I sense hostility.”
Amelia muttered.
Stubborn eyes and tightly closed mouth. Above all, his eyes… were cruel.
‘It looks like the justice radar is on. Why? Is it really me? ‘Are you mad because I broke the wall?’
But that doesn’t make sense. The ‘covenant oath’ that he swore, even using a cane, is absolute.
It wouldn’t matter if we ran into each other by chance like we did now, but it was impossible for Justin to approach with any intention whatsoever.
Justin stopped at a reasonable distance away. It wasn’t an illusion, I was looking exactly this way. And pointed a finger.
‘I guess it’s because I haven’t learned it, so I point my finger at people…’
Justin’s finger, which he thought was going to point at Hercy, moved towards Amelia.
Luid’s expression suddenly hardened at the unexpected variable.
“Amelia Windsor.”
Amelia stared at Justin calmly.
“I request a sparring match.”
A cold silence passed for a moment.
Soon, the sound of students whispering filled the hall.
-‘Isn’t he crazy?’
-‘Have I finally come to my senses?’
Common sense tells us that Amelia has no chance of losing.
No matter how careless she was like Hercy in the original, even if she fought without using one arm, Amelia would have won a complete victory.
but.
‘Why do I… feel so bad?’
“You’re ridiculous, you.”
Hersy suddenly stood up.
“On the topic of commoners, who dare you point your finger at?”
It was a completely different cold voice than when speaking to Ruid.
“I don’t know what the intention was, but please know that it is very disrespectful. “Even making an offer is a terrible insult.”
Hersi walked out proudly, holding a cane.
Justin said in a firm voice.
“I understand that it doesn’t matter who the training partner is.”
“Hey, that sounds interesting. According to your logic, you wouldn’t have any complaints even if I destroyed you, right?”
Hersi aimed his staff.
“Grab the stick you dirty pariah.”
“….”
Justin took out his wand with a stern expression.
And that moment.
-Quaang!
A strong wind’s magic struck Justin’s abdomen.
“Ugh-!”
Justin fell down with his eyes closed. This happened less than 3 seconds after the sparring started.
A far-off difference in skill. As in the original, Hersy did not lose to Justin.
But Ruid couldn’t laugh.
Is it because it’s already been a year since I was possessed as a nobleman? I don’t know if it’s just that I don’t like Justin, but…
the fact that that lowly commoner’s fingertips were pointed at Amelia made me feel really dirty.
