Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 59＞

Lyria recalled in her head the genius wizards that existed in the history of the Abrel family.

Deremit, the ‘silent wizard’ who was born mute, but entered the Mage’s Tower at the age of only 15, awakening to the absolute spirit of speech.

Deuceran, a ‘glassy illusion’ who pioneered summoning magic for the first time in the kingdom with great mana affinity and intuition that penetrates the essence.

Eric Ginger, a ‘space-time magician’ who surprised the world by announcing a new stage of teleportation magic at an academic conference with an excellent interpretation of space-time.

In addition, the mages of the Medenia family, who have recently gained a strong reputation.

In addition, countless geniuses produced by the Royal Academy… … .

‘… … different.’

Lyria bit her teeth.

Looking at the life of any genius, he could not explain the ruin he was seeing.

If the geniuses so far have developed their own special talents and pioneered their own fields… … .

Ruin was like a wizard who had everything perfected from the start.

It doesn’t make sense to start with such an absurd level of telekinesis.

Even if he was born with the talent to cover the world, his telekinesis would become stronger as time passes.

It was unacceptable that such telekinetic power rivaled that of the Archmage.

Moreover, Lyria was feeling it.

That his competitor was Severon, not that Shiron.

A genius whose ability to understand magic cannot be matched even by himself.

However, Ruin treated even Severon as an idiot and proved his radical theory.

What’s even more absurd is that he is from a commoner.

Magicians or nobles, if not that, students who have been learning magic for a long time under the guidance of an outstanding teacher.

Unlike those cadets, he was a wizard of unknown origin.

I couldn’t observe the unique academic style that you can feel when you talk.

If a wizard had achieved that level, it meant that he had a clear conviction, but it didn’t make sense that there was no school he pursued.

A series of incomprehensible things.

That incomprehensible existence opened its mouth again.

“It’s ridiculous. Did you intend to destroy the cadets?”

An empty adamantium box.

The cadets were also sweeping their chests.

If I tried to use the teleportation magic-like space technique, it would have been really big.

Measurement and calculation are possible only when there is a physical form.

In addition, all the calculated values are reconstructed from the outside through sophisticated transfer techniques.

However, if it was empty like that, it was a dangerous situation where the caster’s brain could collapse due to countless errors.

Head of Hedeian Faculty.

He soon closed the book, facing the eyes of the cadets who were close to protesting.

His expression was also full of confusion.

“Did you decide from the start that you wouldn’t be able to solve it?”

Shiron’s earnest protest.

“I had no intention of leaving a dangerous situation unattended.”

Lillia also asked fiercely.

“If you wanted to see the creative thinking of the cadets, not the solving of the assignments, you should have said from the beginning that you would only grade the solving process. This assignment is undoubtedly absurd.”

The dean of Hedeian was barely suppressing his embarrassment.

It was a spell he had carved himself.

It was unthinkable that such a spell would be cast in just one hour, and that it would be completely dispelled.

Difficulty that would take three days even if the professors wrapped their heads around it.

The mind that tried to test the reprehensible paid candidate came back as an irreversible blade.

If the dangers of this assignment are reported to the Office of Education, even the dean of the department will not be able to avoid discipline.

Of course, the punishment was nothing.

However, the honor of the archmage to be disparaged was a different matter.

“If you want to raise a formal issue, I won’t stop you. But it won’t do you any good to lose a fight with your professor like that.”

Louin laughed.

I’ve seen them all in my past life.

How the great mages revered by people were ruined.

They collapsed because of their stubborn pride.

He lost his life because he could not give up his lofty self.

The hardened heart of an old man sometimes vomits out more misery than any ugly thing in the world.

Dishonest emotions will fill the back of those gloomy eyelids.

How dare you try to hide your human emotions in front of this archmage Ruin.

“The first step is to apologize for putting even the cadets at risk to test the capabilities of just one person. Of course, the dean’s assignments may not be all of that intention, but it’s certain that it started with petty feelings.”

In this way, Ruin brought out the dean’s desire to hide it to the cold floor of reality and threw it away.

For a moment, Shiron was looking at Ruin with an interesting expression.

‘This guy… … On my side?’

Shiron was horrified by Ruin’s cold-hearted intuition that accurately saw the essence of the situation.

‘Even while pretending to be indifferent, did you mean to consider all of the cadets’ status and circumstances?’

If true, he was a really great guy.

Having been stuck in the wisdom library throughout the semester, he accurately caught the relationship between himself and the head of the department.

“… … Oh, intolerance?”

The head of Hedeian’s department blushed visibly.

Ruin continued speaking in a nonsensical tone.

“There is no other word to replace it.”

If the dean had kept his mouth shut no matter how many questions he asked, there wouldn’t have been a problem.

However, the great mage’s self-consciousness made it impossible to pass by the irrationality in front of him.

I wanted to stay as quiet as possible without leaving any traces, but I wonder if that was too much.

In any case, the head of the department is the culprit that made him reveal his face in front of the students.

“If denying it makes you feel comfortable, do it. But that shouldn’t stop the cadets from taking the respect for the dean out of their hearts. That’s not ugly-“

“stop.”

It wasn’t normal to even talk.

He was just polite in his way of speaking, and cleverly made him into a petty person and turned him into an ugly old man.

There is only one type of guy who goes this far regardless of the authority of the department head.

“Is there anything you want?”

Ruin smiled vaguely and demanded calmly.

“All of us this semester got a perfect score, which is what we promised. That’s my personal aspiration, but I want access to the limited library—”

“I won’t.”

When the dean of the department accepted it at once, telling him not to talk about it anymore, Ruin looked satisfied and kept his mouth shut.

It reads your intentions at once and shows you the correct way of life.

Truly a seasoned old man.

Head of the Hedeian Department looked at the students and spoke elegantly again.

“As promised, I will give you the highest score and apologize politely. Is it done now?”

Introduction to Elementary Telekinesis is the most esoteric compulsory subject.

At the point where the semester had not yet ended, the faces of the cadets brightened noticeably when the highest grades in those required subjects were guaranteed.

Moreover, the head of the department even apologized, so I couldn’t argue anymore.

“Then I’ll see you in the afternoon class.”

“yes? An afternoon class?”

Shurie was perplexed and asked.

The afternoon class is Professor Othello’s beginner’s theory of magic.

Professor Othello, who had a great personality, was also a required course that the cadets enjoyed the most.

“I’ve been assigned to replace Professor Othello as the beginner sorcery master.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Silence as if it had been covered with cold water.

Only then did the cadets begin to realize what mistakes they had made.

As the dean of Hedayian disappeared, all the students glared at Ruin coldly.

I had no idea how much the dean would bully me for this incident.

But Shironman was different.

He approached Ruin with a very friendly expression and held out his hand.

“It was quite interesting to step up and give for me. I am Shiron.”

“hmm?”

I couldn’t understand what Shiron meant.

However, Ruin was not one to reject the favor that was coming.

“It’s Ruin.”

“I wish you well in the future.”

Chiron was very excited.

A genius who surpasses Severon.

If he could make such a great talent into his own person, his life at this academy would not have been in vain.

Shiron made an extremely serious face and gazed at Ruin again.

“Who is your teacher? I could never have imagined that such tremendous telekinesis was possible at our age.”

After thinking for a while, Ruin replied with a white smile.

“Gyrobel.”

Gyrobel’s reaction immediately followed.

-Yes, you bastard! Did you think of me that way… … ?

When Ruin was giggling and laughing because of Gyrobell, who was making a lot of noise.

“Gyrobel? Was there such a wizard in our kingdom?”

When Shiron looked back at the cadets, they all shook their heads.

“Is this your first time hearing it?”

“I’ve heard of it for the first time too.”

“Are you a wizard from another kingdom?”

Shiron looked at Ruin again.

“Then what is your school?”

Most of the rank-and-file cadets haven’t decided on a school yet.

However, if you are a genius like Ruin, there will definitely be a school you pursue.

“… … .”

Ruin had a positive outlook on other aspects of white magic, but he was negative about the school issue.

Even the attitude of the Head of Hedeian Department was the same.

Those who have been buried in one school for the rest of their lives.

A strong sense of belonging, a twisted pride in the theory pursued.

Such things only corroded the wizard’s mind.

It was understandable that they split into many schools and competed with each other.

But if the pride of each was twisted, the development of the whole would only be hindered.

– It is human beings who insist on their own values even with only a span of land in between. Even more so, it is a magic in which notions always collide with one another. This is no different in the demon realm.

It may be an irresistible evil habit for all those who have pursued wisdom.

Ruin did not want to step into such a narrow world.

“There is no such thing as a school of pursuit.”

Lilia was most surprised by Ruin’s words.

From nob le mt l. co m

For a magician, a school is self-confidence and proof.

As such, it is an important issue that runs through a wizard’s life and the value of living itself.

“Is that really true?”

On the other hand, Shiron was smiling brightly.

It was unusual for him, who was always haughty, to express his feelings so willingly.

‘Good!’

That there is a possibility of recruiting Ruin into his grandfather’s Elgora School.

Such a great genius would be welcomed by the elders of the school, as well as his grandfather, with open arms.

Perhaps the Elgorean School is dominated by this genius.

Shiron believed in his own eyes.

Suddenly, Shurie became friendly with Ruin.

“I would like to hear your point of view on magical manifestations.”

“It’s the process of thinking mana.”

“Thinking?”

“But you don’t have to be so thirsty. I like not to approach it too academically.”

“You mean that tangible phenomena are more important than artificial processes.”

“quite… … It is not wrong.”

Lilia also joined the barrage of questions.

“If you take thinking as your motive, do you also value exploration and perception?”

“In a broad sense, such a point of view is possible. However, in the end, it is a matter of purpose. What intentions will you include? Thinking about mana is the starting point.”

“This is too ideological an approach. I think that… … .”

Shiron is gradually changing into a strange expression.

From nob le mt l. co m

Fanatics never utter grandiose doctrines from the start.

Just listening, aren’t Shurie and Lilia skillfully leading a conversation toward a certain school of epistemology?

Those women were doing tricks to steal talent right in front of their eyes.

“Don’t be deceived, Ruin! Those women are brainwashing you now!”

“Brainwashing… … ?”

How dare you try to smear something dirty on such a clean and transparent genius!

Shiron was trembling as if she was getting goosebumps from the female students’ high level.
