Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Episode 60＞

Ruin entered the restaurant almost staggering, covered in sweat.

Adrena was handing out a towel and water with an expressionless face.

“Eh, you hit it right.”

“… … accident?”

Adrena pursed her lips.

“Still, I am loyal, the first magic you use should have been on me first. The name is the investigator in charge of you.”

“It must be a stalker.”

Ruin walked ahead to the food table, and Adrena chased after her red hair.

“Eh, is it true that you solved your graduation assignments with only psychokinesis magic?”

“… … .”

Ruin accurately weighs and puts the right amount of boiled meat on the plate.

Adrena, who was shaking her head, immediately noticed that the amount had changed.

“Oh, you have increased your diet! Important check!”

Ruin burst out laughing as he quickly took out his journal and saw Adrena taking notes.

It was safe to say that Ruin’s body had now recovered to an almost normal level.

No, rather, he was perfecting a healthy body that would overwhelm even weak magic students.

“Where did you hear that?”

Adrena did not attend the dean’s class.

The fact that she knows what happened in class means that there are sources of her information among the students, or that she has heard it directly from the dean.

“Eh, the dean of the department came to Professor Gary Eldos’s lab in person.”

“Are you coming?”

“You took all of your observation records to report to the Mage Tower.”

“It turned out that the head of the department had a rather uncomfortable relationship with the Mage Tower.”

Adrena smiled brightly.

“This is an academy where the influence of the dean is greater than that of the magic tower.”

In fact, he is the head of the department, the highest rank in the Faculty of Magic.

The professors under the direction of such a department head would not be able to refuse his orders.

“He huffed like a fighting cow and took all your data. So Professor Gary Eldos called in one of the cadets and finished all the research.”

“A cadet?”

“Eh, Shiron. Everything that happened between the cadets with no rank can be known through the essay.”

under.

He showed interest, so he accepted it with a full statement.

Could it be that he couldn’t stand it and started talking to Professor Gary Eldos every single time?

Unaware of the speed of Ruin, who was so nervous, Shiron, who had approached before he knew it, was sitting down with a friendly smile.

“Oh, is it fasting?”

Shiron was showing a lot of curiosity about Ruin’s diet.

Unlike himself, who had long been accustomed to the strict diet of the magicians, Ruin was a commoner.

Even so, he was showing a stricter diet than himself.

Even the Bumund School, which emphasized temperance enough to make the chi tremble in order to maintain the sharp consciousness of a wizard, was not this far.

Shiron became more curious about Ruin’s teacher.

“What a great foster. Is it the teacher’s teaching?”

High wisdom, telekinesis beyond common sense, and even such extraordinary restraint.

It was amazing.

Despite living under the strict teachings of a wise man’s family, everything about Ruin came as a stimulus.

Shiron was scrutinizing Ruin’s boiled meat, vegetables, and mashed potatoes.

“Avoiding food that has been touched by fire is also the view that eating disorders are related to human cognitive function?”

Soon, Ruin frowned.

It’s not such a grandiose reason that you can’t eat steak or whole meat.

It’s just because of the digestive power of the organs that have been weakened by living in a hospital bed for a long time.

“I don’t think even the elders in our family have ever seen such fasting. It’s a truly astonishing understatement.”

Soon after, Shiron walked over to the leftovers bin next to the food table, emptied the tray, and started serving the same meal as Ruin.

Chiron sat down again.

Adrena’s face turned blue as if she was fed up.

“Eh, are you going to follow that?”

As if impressed, Shiron was shining with passionate eyes.

“I, Shiron, believe that there is at least one thing to learn even from a weak wizard. Besides, Ruin is the best cadet I have ever seen.”

“to… … That’s right, but… … .”

“It is not possible with ordinary beliefs to actually apply the ideas I have pursued as a mage to all of my life and put them into practice. Didn’t a third-rank cadet know that?”

“oh?”

Adrena was surprised and checked her shoulder straps.

After checking the epaulettes of no rank, she brushed her chest down and looked at Shiron with strange eyes.

“Eh, but if you knew, wouldn’t it be polite to treat you a little?”

As Shiron chuckled and chewed on the boiled meat, Ruin’s cold voice was heard.

“Did you tell Professor Gary Eldos everything about me?”

“cellar? Was my favor burdensome? Such an incident is a great feat for a cadet. It will be of great help in building your reputation?”

Ruin looked at Shiron, who was blinded, then sighed and looked away.

He wasn’t the kind of person to talk to in the first place.

Shiron put down the fork and looked fiercely at Shurie and Liria, who were eating from a distance.

“Always be vigilant, Ruin. Apparently, those women follow the radical and dangerous Southern school. Even your tremendous efforts will be useless when you encounter wrong ideology.”

I want to be more wary of you.

Ruin still didn’t even look at Shiron and just chewed food in silence.

At that time, as always, a group of cadets were entering the restaurant.

The heretic son of the academy who is constantly showing off his power.

Seeing him whistling and teasing the female students and harassing the weaker students, Ruin put down his knife and fork this time as well.

At that time, a bogyeol cadet was approaching Shiron waving his hand.

“Howdy! Shiron!”

“Hurkel?”

Shiron didn’t like the sub-cadets who had no skills and only believed in their family and installed them.

However, there was no need to pretend to be with them, so I tended to say hello.

When Shiron tried to say hello to the problem son, Ruin stood up first as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“I’ll go and see.”

“Eh, me too.”

A strange look bloomed in Shiron’s eyes.

“That guy is Hurkel from Viscount Orloni. Would you like to know?”

“okay. Be very friendly.”

“Hoo… … indeed.”

Does that mean that he doesn’t even care about his friendship with the aristocratic family?

Well, if the guy’s skills are good enough.

I like it more and more.

“Let’s go together! Ruin!”

* * *

A lazy afternoon.

The beginner sorcery theory class was boring.

Of course, it was not meaningless to look back at the values that the previous wizards pursued through history.

However, if excessive interpretation was added to the perspective of looking at history, the discourse at the time was bound to be diluted.

The theory of magic science, covered with all sorts of philosophical considerations, was a meaningless study in Ruin’s eyes.

“Lelius, the leader of truth, saw magic as a substitute for human nature that was extinguished. He recognized that there are many values that have collapsed as much as human civilization has evolved.”

In the eyes of the head of Hedeian, respect like a burning flower bloomed.

“So, Lelius-sama’s sorcery theory means the liberation of reason and appeasement. remember and recall This topic left by Lelius is a must-see for anyone who dreams of becoming a magician.”

Lillia raised her hand with an expressionless face.

The Head of Hedeian nodded and she stood up.

“The headmaster’s words conflict with Mr. Bissert’s sorcery book, which preached magic as the great result of human evolution. And I also think Bishert’s words are right. Isn’t the history of magic developed along with the evolution of civilization?”

Instantly, mana was concentrated in the right hand of the Hedeian Headmaster.

woo woo woo-

Soon he calmly stared at the mana he had created and opened his mouth.

“This is magic for us mages. Knights add their own faith and will to this power and call it fighting spirit. On the other hand, priests interpret it as the power of God, that is, divine power. But what is the essence?”

As the students remained silent without answering, the head of the Hedeian department smiled gracefully.

“It’s just mana that has existed since the beginning of time. No matter how many interpretations and values are laid out by human reason, the essence does not change. If you are a magician, wouldn’t it be right to think about this kind of innocence first?”

Lyria shakes her head.

“Neither do I agree with the perception that denying evolved humanity is the liberation of reason. Rather, I think that such a peripheral perception will lead to the result of hindering the development of magic.”

“… … peripheral?”

As the head of the Head of Hedeian distorted, all the students glared at Lyria.

Why do you dare to provoke the dean of the department like that?

The cadets couldn’t help but feel restless when Lilia also helped out, even though they were already scared to death because of Ruin.

“Your interpretation of devaluing the discourse advocated by Lelius as being peripheral is excessive.”

The issue of evaluating Lelius, the leader of truth, has been controversial even in the academic world.

To some he was just a dreamer.

It was because of his perception that human desire to evolve is low.

Northern scholars believe in this ‘collapse theory’ of Lelius. But Southern schools never accepted his theories.

Therefore, in Lemadel, one of the northern kingdoms, it was a dangerous act to recklessly follow the southern academic traditions.

“Lyria cadet. Have you already decided on a school in your heart?”

Lyria didn’t answer.

It was because I didn’t want to interfere with my undergraduate life because of the school issue.

“Why can’t you answer me?”

“… … It is a matter of the wizard’s ideal.”

After being silent for a moment, the head of the Hedeian Department smiled gracefully.

“Heh heh, it’s too early to bring up the school issue with the cadets with no rank. nice If it’s your magic, I’ll respect it. However, this is the magic department of Lemadel Kingdom. You know very well that with such a southern view of yours, you cannot expect high marks in my class.”

“… … .”

“Sit down.”

Lyria had no choice but to bite her lip and sit down.

The head of Hedeian’s department immediately turned to Ruin.

“Cadet Ruin.”

Ruin was trying hard to avoid the head of the department.

Can’t we just skip over it?

“pupil. Can’t you hear me?”

Ruin woke up with a long sigh.

“After that, tell me.”

“What do you think?”

Ruin opened his mouth without emotion.

“I have no idea.”

Ruin didn’t want to get caught up in this useless ideological play.

It’s foolish to force each other’s way into magic.

Lelius, the leader of truth, and Bischert, the rhetorician of reason, after all, aren’t we just one sorcerer?

On the other hand, the head of Hedeian’s department was smiling.

Ruin is a magician with telekinesis that far exceeds that of a cadet.

There was no way that such a guy wouldn’t be inspired by such an important magician abnormality.

“You are not being honest.”

Louie was annoyed.

“Do you enjoy fighting me?”

If you leave it alone, there will be no bumping into it, so why do you keep provoking it?

“It’s just a curiosity as a wizard. I expect that you will undoubtedly advocate a unique point of view.”

No, what kind of professorship is a position to solve your own curiosity?

Ruin nervously replied.

“freedom? great. All the epistemologies held by the schools were trivial to me.”

“Nothing… … ?”

“What is the meaning of passively learning the thoughts left by an individual? Sorcery theory? Do you think this stupid class, like a race to master the sequence of history, will really help a person’s sorcery?”

A nuance that seemed to deny the history of sorcery.

“The wizard’s ideal is not so grandiose. Since everyone is absorbed in this kind of ideological game, don’t they just freeze up when their comrades explode right in front of them?”

The head of Hedeian’s department was frozen in shock.
