Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Episode 52＞

Lyria’s green eyes were looking towards the academy’s sky.

‘Magic… … .’

Like most cadets, magic was a ‘means’ to survive for Lyria.

There was no need to recall various conclusions, because magic itself was linked to the purpose of life.

The prominent siblings of the family.

To survive in such a fierce niche.

Lyria Dreamit Abrel.

From nob le mt l. co m

From the moment I got that name, it was a decided path, just fate.

That’s why I’ve never been so worried about why I’m learning magic.

Luxurious emotions such as values and beliefs were considered to be the exclusive property of stupid knights.

Magic Master Avrel.

The Mado family lives with thorough reason rather than emotion.

Knife-like meritocracy, competition without blood or tears, where only performance proves everything.

She was just the youngest daughter of a cold aristocratic family.

“What relieves my feelings? Why do you usually try to imagine the worst situation, so that you become weak? If you’re a wizard, isn’t it first to avoid creating such a situation with your wisdom?”

“It’s really stupid to put emotion into magic. If magic had been such a sentimental science, I would never have studied it.”

“It looks like you read some kind of heroic story and fell in love with it? Actually, it’s not even worth discussing. I don’t understand why the professor is agitated.”

“More than that, why the hell is that guy running?”

The cadets observing Ruin each expressed their feelings.

However, Lilia was not swayed by their feelings.

Because their claim was just a reflex rejection.

You said you wouldn’t create a dangerous situation as a mage?

Even the great sage lost countless soldiers’ lives helplessly.

If they had studied the history of Lemadel and the record of that gruesome battlefield, they would know it too.

How meaningless the magic tower’s predictions and countermeasures were.

Neither the wisdom of the wise men nor the magic of high-ranking mages could prevent all the disasters caused by the empire.

“It must be a ploy to draw attention like before. He has nothing but clever words.”

“Wow, you want all that attention? So you’re so pitiful?”

“Let’s go, Severon. Time is wasted.”

“uh? Oh, okay.”

There was a strange tinge in Lyria’s eyes.

The information of the cadets given to me by my older brother, a 4th rank magic cadet.

According to that information, Severon was a genius with outstanding talent and grades that many professors were eyeing.

But for some reason, he seemed to be being dragged around by that blonde-haired cadet.

“Perhaps he is Shirone.”

“Chiron… … ?”

The person who spoke to him was a girl cadet with impressive dark black hair.

‘Did they say Shurie?’

He knew him because he was a cadet who entered the school as a substitute with him.

Lyria coldly glared at the blonde cadet who was disappearing.

‘That man… … .’

The wise man’s family, the Medenia family.

Is that blond young man Shiron, the grandson of the wise man Egios?

A person who was listed on her brother’s character list with more explanations than any other cadet.

“He is the grandson of the wise man Aegios. Contrary to his reputation, he tends to just listen to classes in silence without any special action.”

I didn’t like that he suddenly became friendly and talked about it.

Lilia quickly turned away from Shurie’s gaze.

however.

“what?”

Suddenly, a white hand came into view, and Lilia was looking up sharply at Shurie.

“It is valuable to me. To shake hands with you.”

A feeling of disgust soon settled in Lyria’s heart.

An unlucky aristocratic lady who has no interest in magic, but is only interested in expanding her personal connections.

It was proof that he recognized himself without even a single voice, and was able to see through key cadets like Shiron.

To hang out with these people who turn the academy, the sacred place of learning, into a mere social gathering place.

It was a kind of insult to Lyria.

Well, if you don’t even have the talent and ability, much less the determination to try, is this their way to survive?

“Take it away.”

Even though she was looking at herself with contempt, Shurie was still smiling kindly.

If the Medenia family is a rising magician who produced the wise men of the time.

The Arbrel family is a traditional magician who has repeatedly produced wise men in history.

Of course, its status was never inferior to that of Medenia.

But, more than anything, the thing that made me like Lyria.

“I think you have a little misunderstanding.”

woo woo woo-

Shurie’s beastman who started drawing mana.

Soon, complicated circuits formed in the air, and mana began to burn.

From nob le mt l. co m

Flash!

3rd rank fire elemental magic heat island destroyer.

Shurie, who easily proved himself, smiled again and dispersed the spell.

Lillia’s eyes quickly changed.

The naturalness of the chant and the texture of the magic that can be felt are also clearly third-tier.

Besides, the heat island devastation… … .

“Do you follow the Buoric school?”

“There is only one road to the ideal—”

As Shurie sang, a solemn declaration came out at the same time.

＜Even if everything cannot be left behind after being destroyed, because that is the end of progress, Vuoric is eternal.＞

smile.

“The reason why I bullied my father and was allowed to work at the Faculty of Magic for a year… … .”

“stop. The cadets who felt your magic are watching this place.”

“… … all right.”

School is a very important background for magicians.

Depending on which school you choose, your magical abilities and achievements will be completely different.

Vuoric is a traditional element school.

However, it was a school that had been ostracized from the Magic Society for a long time due to its radical theories, unique research methods, and rather extreme techniques.

“Then your goal must also be to enter the top ranks.”

“yes.”

It was quite difficult to live as a wizard of the Buoric School in this Lemadel Kingdom.

Because the wizards of the Buoric School will suffer losses in all political positions.

Everyone keeps quiet, but it’s an open secret that among the elders of the Mage Tower, there is a high-ranking wizard from the School of Vuoric.

In order to overcome such irrationality, he had to become a member of the Mage Tower, or at least become an existence sponsored by the Mage Tower.

However, not all of Lyria’s doubts were resolved.

“I am of the Buoric school… … No, how did you know I was a third-tier wizard or higher?”

Unranked cadets never arbitrarily choose a school.

It is only after achieving at least the 3rd tier that one’s talent matches the magic of which school can be judged.

However, Lyria did not let anyone in her family know about it. Brothers and even father.

However, Shurie’s answer was simple.

“You attended the secret meeting, right?”

“what… … ?”

The meeting of the Buoric school is literally a secret meeting, complete anonymity is guaranteed.

Masks and voice alteration magic are allowed, and distance communication magic can also participate.

“Could it be you!”

Lilia opened her eyes wide as if she had remembered something.

“yes. I am the rabbit mask that advised me to take off the ring at that time.”

Lilia, dazed.

Apparently, I forgot to wear the seal of inheritance with the family pattern on it.

Is this woman the rabbit mask that kindly advised her?

However, Lyria’s doubts remained.

Even if he was able to infer his family name from the seal of inheritance, it was another matter to accurately distinguish himself.

Shurie looked at her hand as if he had read the question in Lyria’s eyes.

“That hand. I recognized it right away when I heard it in class earlier. Isn’t it unusual that the ring finger is short?”

Lillia stared at her hand for a long time.

Soon, she stared back at Shurie, her eyes shining sharply.

“you… … .”

In this case, an immature aristocratic girl might have been better.

A cadet who knows his secret will be bothered in many ways.

Moreover, at the same age as himself, he is already on the third level.

Although she had reached a level with the splendid support of the master magicians, the girl in front of her was someone she had never heard of.

“Don’t look at me like that. I won’t do anything to sell students of the same school.”

From nob le mt l. co m

For magicians, the solidarity between members of the same school is great.

It was only then that her uneasiness subsided, and Lilia was looking at Ruin who was running on the playground again.

“I didn’t feel any magic power from him.”

“… … .”

Shurie was sneering as if full of conviction.

“I am not different from the other cadets.”

Lillia laughs.

“Are you saying it’s a superficial act to attract attention with bravado?”

“It was a wonderful success, right? According to former cadets, it was the first time they had ever seen Professor Gary Eldos so agitated.”

“well.”

However, Lilia still didn’t really appreciate the cadets’ arguments.

I could tell just by looking at that run.

Is that just an act to get attention?

A boy who staggered to the point that the viewer felt sorry for him with his breath up to his chin.

Even counting how many times I have already collapsed is meaningless.

‘Can I do it too?’

Running like that is not a normal mindset.

It is the action of a person who has extreme mental strength, resolute determination, strong faith that does not doubt the limits, and furthermore, a clear goal in life.

If that boy is really running to save someone’s life, if that’s his unwavering conviction.

‘His magic will be different.’

Magic is the creation of the mind.

If that student is the one who faithfully fulfills the Arbrel family’s precepts more than anyone else… … .

‘I need to observe more closely.’

* * *

Louin did not attend the afternoon class.

It was not a required subject like the morning class, and it was because I decided that it was not a class that I needed.

All he could do at the moment was to radiate the magic that was still in the second tier.

A new system to realize magical power is needed, and it is not necessary to study magical interpretations or techniques.

After returning to the dormitory, Ruin was sitting at his desk contemplating when he heard Gyrobel’s words.

-The magic circuit of that human wizard before.

“A magic circuit? Ah, a man named Gary Eldos.”

-As you advised, the direction of the spell was wrong, but rather than that, the feeling was that a lot of unnecessary things were put in.

Luin nodded.

Professor Gary Eldos’ technique was full of magic circuits that seemed to have been forcibly put together from the beginning.

Magic that seems to have been intended to spread from the beginning.

From nob le mt l. co m

From the realization of magical power to the psychokinesis system, to the direction of vibration of the circuit.

All of these combinations are running toward diffusion, and he was forcing himself into an acceleration.

He was a professor of the Faculty of Magic, so he had high hopes for him, but the level was so disastrous.

“Isn’t that obvious? Trying to forcibly fit the circuits that were out of sync from the beginning, so there is no choice but to add unnecessary circuits.”

-Still, isn’t that guy quite skilled among human wizards? There must be a reason why an academy professor would draw such an absurd circuit.

Louin burst out laughing.

He had not looked at the system that implemented magical powers, but had experienced the wise men’s white magic and their spells countless times in their previous lives.

Although it lacks perfection compared to the black magic of the demon realm, white magic has its own uniqueness.

However, Professor Gary Eldos’ technique was not even that unique.

“That’s just his poor skills. No other interpretation is necessary.”

-Aren’t you curious about my family?

“home?”

-Why you don’t understand the human mage’s circuits at all.

Ruin frowned.

It was said that the magic circuit was in the wrong direction from the beginning, but it was annoyed that it kept making strange noises.

-The white magic of humans I’ve seen has a pitifully low level of mental movement. Even the parts that can be easily processed with psychokinesis are trying to be implemented as circuits, so it seems like it keeps getting twisted like that.

Ruin hardened with a puzzled expression.

“What… … Isn’t that right?”
