Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 67＞

The effect of misleading Professor Gary Eldos was considerably greater than expected.

The news seems to have reached the dean of Hedeian, and it definitely bothers him less than before.

Because of this, Ruin was able to maintain his Magic Faculty life according to his routine.

however.

It wasn’t without problems.

“Hey, did you come out today as well?”

“… … .”

Ruin was trying hard to avoid Shiron’s gaze.

It’s 4:00 in the morning when there should be no crowds.

However, the playground of the Faculty of Magic was crowded with cadets.

Shiron and the eight cadets who follow him.

The recently joined Lyria, Shurie, and Adrena.

The most embarrassing was Professor Gary Eldos, who was already warming up wearing only a thin chemise.

Gary Eldos was smiling awkwardly, probably feeling Ruin’s absurd gaze.

“I didn’t know that the cadets were taking care of their bodies so diligently. I also have a big realization, so I started participating from today!”

Even after that, there were bizarre speeches, such as “It is the duty of a professor to look after the students’ lives,” but Ruin pretended not to know.

Because I already knew what Professor Gary Eldos was trying to run for.

Just in case, I looked around and looked for the dean, but luckily he was nowhere to be seen.

If a person of his age runs recklessly, serious trouble may occur. There was also a time to train the body.

Of course, Professor Gary Eldos’s age is also fifty lines.

Louin said with an expressionless face.

“You may lose more than you gain. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“hahahaha, are you worried about me?”

An awkward reaction.

He probably believes that he is a dragon.

straight-

As Ruin advanced at a certain pace, the cadets followed suit.

Professor Gary Eldos, who was laughing awkwardly, hurriedly rolled his feet.

Papa papapat-

Suddenly, Ruin runs away at a speed comparable to sprinting, and the cadets grit their teeth and follow.

However, novice cadets could not catch up with Ruin’s already trained speed.

Unlike Ruin, who did not lose a breath when he ran four times like that, some of the cadets began to sit down.

Of course, Professor Gary Eldos was one of them.

“Heh heh… … those guys! How can you run like that?”

It was Jed, who had reached the 6th car today, but without fail, he collapsed on the 4th lap today.

Ruin was a monster that was doing this from the beginning, but how can I explain Shiron and Severon on the same 6th day, and that Lyria who recently joined them?

Menoe answers Jed’s question.

“Couldn’t you secretly have haste?”

“Ohh!”

As if it was a plausible reasoning, Professor Gary Eldos scolded Jed sternly as Jed was shining his strange eyes.

“Whoa… … Cadets, don’t recklessly sell your classmates.”

Surprisingly, even in this simple ‘field run’, magical talent and mental strength were shown to be in direct proportion.

The cadets currently running alongside Ruin were not running physically.

The wizard’s superior mental power.

The tenacious desire to catch up with Ruin and the desire to compete was leading their bodies to their limits.

Of course, Gary Eldos is also a wizard.

‘I don’t know if it’s a dragon, but I can’t lose to the cadets!’

As Professor Gary Eldos ran desperately again, the cadets who were sitting down also bit their teeth.

“Professor Gary Eldos is over 50! Besides, it’s the first day!”

Papa papa papa!

Like that, the Faculty of Magic was seething with passion from the cadets from dawn.

After running die.

The cadets, who had been waiting for the door of the academy cafeteria to open, looked at Chiron’s plate and were horrified at the same time.

“Eh, what the hell is it? What about that meal?”

“You must be really crazy! Are you going to die?”

Chiron’s diet, consisting of a piece of boiled meat, mashed potatoes, and a handful of vegetables, was close to that of a prisoner.

Shiron smiled meaningfully at the enthusiastic reaction of his aides(?).

“You guys have no way of knowing the moderation of a great wizard.”

“Me, moderation?”

However, Shiron, who triumphantly walked over and sat down, checked Ruin’s diet and wrinkled his face as if he had chewed sh*t.

“S, steak?”

Shiron is trembling as if he has been betrayed.

From nob le mt l. co m

From mashed potatoes to roasted whole potatoes, from crispy vegetable dressing to salad dressing with a light fragrance.

In addition, the meat stew with a heavy aroma was served with bread.

“No, nonsense! Wasn’t it to avoid roasted food?”

“at all.”

Ruin replied casually and shook the cut steak, and Chiron bit his teeth like a dog.

“Then why have you kept away from food that has been touched by fire?”

“Because I didn’t feel comfortable before.”

The disappointment must have been so great that Shiron was trembling all over.

It is a long-standing tradition in some schools to avoid food that has come into direct contact with fire.

It was an old view that eating disorders were related to human cognitive functioning.

So, Shiron thought that Ruin follows the tradition of great wizards.

But this feels like a long-time admired scholar spreading sophistry right in front of your eyes.

“Isn’t it rather more burdensome to change your diet just because you feel a little better? Besides, being close to the taste won’t help your temperance, will it?”

“taste?”

It was just a change from boiled meat to grilled meat, from seasoned vegetables to lightly flavored salad dressing, from mashed potatoes to whole potatoes.

The stew is also a normal meat stew that is not irritating, and the bread is also a common baguette.

No matter where you looked, it wasn’t a diet that focused on taste.

I read Ruin’s eyes that contained such a question, but Shiron didn’t care.

“Besides, didn’t the amount also increase rapidly! A huge burden on a skinny, insignificant body like yours… … !”

Shiron must have realized his mistake and kept his mouth shut.

In fact, he was right in his words.

“You said it well. Now I intend to grow my body to a normal level.”

“… … Right.”

Shiron shook his head with a bitter expression.

The guy betrayed (?), but he couldn’t back down on his determination.

When Shiron was tenaciously biting into boiled meat.

Severon was sitting down with a plate full of steaks dripping with gravy.

“Oh, is it the sorcerer’s temperance? Poetry.”

“Everyone, shut up!”

Chiron desperately turned away from Severon’s steak, which was covered with various sauces and spices.

The rich yukhyang, the flavor that stimulates the nose is going to be crazy.

However, as Chiron turned her head, a girl eating an elegant meal came into view.

Hair full of emerald light.

The girl’s eyes twinkled like starlight through her hair that fell like a waterfall.

It was so mysterious.

It was really beautiful.

I was so surprised.

Moreover, just by looking at the way he held a knife and fork, it was an elegance that made you feel the manners of an aristocratic family at once.

But there were no knots on her epaulettes.

‘No rank cadet?’

But she’s a woman I’ve never seen before.

Is it a new substitute cadet?

But why does it feel so familiar?

Shiron’s gaze, so confused, stayed behind her ear.

three stars.

From nob le mt l. co m

For a moment, Shiron remembered the most famous sorceress in the Mage Tower.

The disciple of the sage Egios.

Daphne Alenciana.

When I was very young, the memory of not being able to breathe when I ran into her flashed in an instant.

‘Daphne!’

She’s no genius.

It’s not a level that this academy can have.

A monster beyond common sense.

Whenever Daphne was mentioned, Grandpa’s eyes were always colored with awe.

‘… … Why?’

Her level is on the same level as that of the highest ranking wizards in the Mage Tower.

Even in the Mage Tower, he is a mysterious figure.

Born with the blessing of mana, she is a candidate for the next Mage Tower’s most powerful tower owner.

Why did she, who had already attained the level of being the head of a school, appearing in the Faculty of Magic, wearing the epaulettes of no rank?

In an instant, goose bumps rose from Chiron’s spine.

Her cold gaze, which seemed to be uninterested in anything, glanced at Ruin from time to time.

Could it be that even that amazing wizard was interested in Ruin?

Shiron’s brain begins to rotate furiously.

‘Yes, that was it!’

Daphne had no one of her own compared to her magical talents and skills.

Most of the high-ranking wizards in the Mage Tower are close to the wise grandfather or people of the great wizard Gerfen.

In order to increase his influence among the prominent wizards aiming for the next tower owner, he had no choice but to recruit his own person.

If that arrogant Daphne had made such an unreasonable choice, there was no need to find out why.

‘okay. It means he was aiming for Ruin.’

But unfortunately, the word that this body was first marked.

‘Even if it’s Daphne, it’s not like she’s blindly looking at this person from Shiron.’

Shiron moved, obstructing her vision.

When Shiron suddenly sat down next to him, Ruin frowned.

“It interferes with eating.”

“Oh, I just wanted to move. fall a little bit.”

Daphne.

A strong competitor that cannot even be compared to those of Lyria and Shurie.

A magician who showed a strong obsession with magic books like Ruin could easily fall for one of the rare magic books possessed by the Mage Tower.

If you show a gap, you can snatch it in an instant.

but then

clack tock.

A sudden sound of footsteps from behind.

When Shiron turned his head with an ominous premonition.

Daphne stood there, expressionless.

with your own plate.

“May I sit down?”

Perhaps surprised by Daphne’s incredible beauty, Jed hurriedly gave him a seat next to him.

“Oh, of course! Sit here!”

Of course, the spot was across from Ruin.

However, Ruin still focused on eating with his eyes down.

Daphne, who sat down, was staring at Ruin with an open gaze.

It was only then that the cadets who checked Daphne’s epaulettes reacted in surprise.

“What? A new substitute cadet?”

“Haven’t you heard of that?”

This is the Royal Academy of Lemadel.

It was not a place where a substitute was arbitrarily received without strict adherence to due process and school rules.

Surprisingly, however, Daphne was obediently revealing her true identity.

“My name is Daphne, a wizard dispatched from the Mage Tower.”

“Eh, the magic tower!”

“Are you a tower wizard?”

“Three, my God!”

Standing in the tower is every cadet’s dream.

From nob le mt l. co m

For the cadets, it was so awkward to see a wizard from such a distant world wearing the epaulettes of an academy cadet, especially a cadet with no rank.

“Even if you are a wizard of the Mage Tower, you cannot recklessly have privileges in the sacred academy.”

“Now, wait. Wait.”

Severon’s eyes are tearing apart.

“If you are all, Daphne, perhaps you are the disciple of the wise man Egios… … ?”

Nod.

“It’s embarrassing, but it’s called that.”

The cadets were unable to say anything with their mouths wide open.

He was a high-ranking wizard with a different level of identity, even though he was obviously the same age as them.

“Surprised. Everyone is talking like this.”

Daphne smiled broadly at Chiron’s serious eyes.

A very magical laugh.

From nob le mt l. co m

For a moment, my heart skipped a beat.

“okay. What is the intention of the sky-like ‘tower mage’ to hang out with the humble students of the underworld?”

Daphne elegantly puts down the knife and looks at Ruin.

“Because I have a guy I like.”

“What, what?”

“yes… … ?”

“Oh, confession?”

Shiron and his friends hardened in despair.

Ruin was frowning as if he was asking what this was all about.
