Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Episode 71＞

A gradeless grade is literally the days of a cadet with no grades.

As Adrena explained, from being a first-class cadet to a real Magic Faculty, the atmosphere of the second semester of the non-ranking cadets was different.

Before reaching first rank, cadets with no rank had to choose which group they would belong to.

The ‘Dreaming Firebird’s Nest’ is the largest, and if elemental magic is your main focus, you should definitely choose this place.

Perhaps thanks to the popular popularity of Elemental Wizards, it was a place with many excellent professors, and for that reason it was the most acceptable choice for cadets.

The ‘Wisteria Tower of Illusion’ was a home for students with special talents in specialized magic, such as teleportation, awakening, vibration, clairvoyance, and enhancement.

Although the scale was small, most of the cadets here were wizards with genius talent, and thanks to this, they were the group that produced the most entrant wizards.

The sky of the golden dawn was not a realm of choice, but a realm of destiny.

To belong to this group, the unanimity of the professors was basically required, and of course, it was possible to combine exceptional talent and skills beyond the level of cadets.

Rather, belonging to the Golden Dawn’s sky is more difficult than becoming a standing wizard.

Therefore, the cadets belonging to this group have not been exposed even once for ten years.

They were a group in a veil that could not be easily identified because they were thoroughly raised as secret weapons of the kingdom.

Finally, the ‘Eager and Reclusive Voice’ was a group that did not want to select any cadets.

A group of problem children who failed to adapt to the life of the Faculty of Magic and those who were subject to replenishment, in other words, a de facto detention center.

On the other hand, the degree of freedom in studies was enormous, because most of the children of noble families whose purpose was to build personal connections eventually settled here.

Since they were cadets awaiting grade retention or expulsion, they did not have to attend classes, and there were no compulsory credits to complete.

In the end, the realistic groups that cadets with no rank can choose are ‘Dreaming Phoenix’s Nest’ and ‘Wisteria Tower of Illusion’.

It was the traditional route of the Faculty of Magic to go to the Nest if your grades were average, and to the Tower if you were exceptional.

“nice to meet you. My name is Edentia, a 4th rank magic cadet.”

Inside the classrooms of the cadets with no rank full of tension.

Wearing a brooch in the shape of a firebird on her chest, Edentia was looking down at the rankless cadets with a confident expression.

The cadets with no rank who heard about her earlier seemed nervous and gulped their saliva.

She was the leader cadet of the famous ‘Dreaming Firebird’s Nest’, called the ‘Crimson Flame Keeper’.

“That our nest is inferior to the tower is an old prejudice and persistent rumor.”

Another leader cadet, Volkan, who was standing next to her, wrinkled his forehead.

He is the leader of the Wisteria Tower of Illusion.

Obviously, Edentia’s words were rude and maddening, but surprisingly, he was not reckless.

“Most of the palace wizards are from our nest. It means that if you choose our nest, the most opportunities follow.”

The largest number meant vested interests, that is, power.

Seniors spread like a dense net in the kingdom.

She was emphasizing that the seniors who went first would become a great ‘nest’ and lead the juniors.

“I want you to think carefully about why traditional magic books emphasize the basics so much. Elemental magic is the basic knowledge of wizards and the breadwinner of tradition.”

Quite a few cadets with no rank were nodding their heads in agreement.

Because her words sounded realistic enough.

Rather than challenging the Tower with flimsy talent and skills, the Nest, which guarantees a stable future as a mage, would have been a more correct choice.

At that time, the leader of the tower, cadet Volkan, stepped forward.

“The sophistry of the courageous. Didn’t you guys become magic students dreaming of becoming a lofty mage?”

Volcan’s eyes darkened coldly.

“If you are a cadet who entered this Royal Academy with your skills, close your eyes right now. And try to visualize the process you’ve been working hard on.”

The faces of some of the cadets with no rank were bluish as if they had remembered the great years that had passed.

“Isn’t it worth it? Talking about a stable job with that kind of effort.”

shaking.

The unranked cadet who is most agitated is Severon.

“In the Faculty of Magic, only we are called the Tower. Our ‘Wisteria Tower of Illusion’, which produced the most entered tower wizards, is a group that anyone who has dreamed of becoming a wizard must definitely challenge.”

Edentia laughed.

“Even now, there are too many cadets who melt into that hopeless lingering attachment. Tower Mage? You will feel high and honored now. But guys, think realistically. If you roll 5 years in the Faculty of Magic and roll 15 more years as a standing wizard, how old will you be?”

“… … Almost forty or forty?”

As Jed murmured, Edentia’s eyebrows curved like a bow.

“Hoho, yes. Almost at that age. Have you seen the married wizard of the tower?”

Severon was perplexed by Edentia’s gaze toward him.

“that. that… … .”

“The tower mage is fundamentally an honorary position. The pay is small, and the time is rather short compared to when I was a cadet. Do you know what your ‘nest’ friends have become when you cling to your bone-breaking research achievements and leave the tower?”

“well… … .”

“A remuneration equal to the monthly rent of a decent baron. A proud first-class court wizard with 15 years of service. If you go back to your hometown and claim to be from the Mage Tower and set up a magic class, when will you be able to catch up with their annual salary?”

Indeed, Edentia was the leader of the popular ‘nest’. Her rhetoric is literally close to magic.

Many cadets with no rank who had already been brainwashed were writing ‘Dreaming Firebird’s Nest’ on their application forms.

“Wait a minute! That’s the worst assumption as a tower mage! If you go further by achieving outstanding research achievements, the path to becoming a high-level wizard at the top of the Mage Tower will open! You too can dream of being an academy professor, department head, or even a sage—”

“You are still talking probabilities from start to finish. To think that the magician’s mouth only mentions probabilities. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“… … Also, don’t be shaken! This woman is a witch! I am deceiving you!”

“Hey, even though I’ve never given you a broom as a present.”

but then

dripping-

The classroom door opened and a female cadet entered.

Then all eyes turned to her epaulettes.

She is also a 4th rank magic cadet.

But Edentia and Volkan had never seen her like that.

Edentia’s curious eyes scanned her whole body.

“Who are you… … ?”

There is no ‘group brooch’ that must be worn on the chest by rank cadets.

That is, a professor’s assistant or graduate.

“Ahh… … .”

“It’s mysterious.”

The reaction of the cadets with no rank was different.

It was because the atmosphere of the fourth-ranked female student who had newly appeared in the classroom was unusual.

‘Who is that woman?’

At first, Shiron even had the illusion that she had been subjected to enchantment magic.

Golden hair flowing gracefully.

Magical eyes as if they were about to be sucked in.

It felt like my soul was shaken just by looking at it once.

A magic cadet with such an overwhelming first impression.

If so, he was definitely a person who should be on his information network, but Shiron was embarrassed that he couldn’t even get a sense of it.

“Cadet Louin Ryan.”

Those were the first words she uttered, leaving all the cadets’ doubts behind.

Ruin, who had been staring out the window indifferently, looked at the front of the classroom for the first time.

“You are a candidate for ‘Heaven’. If you have a will, follow me.”

“Cheer, perforation?”

“Oh, that can’t be!”

Edentia, her eyes wide open as if they were about to tear.

Of course, all the cadets with no rank stiffened with a shocked look on their faces.

“Are you saying that ‘Heaven’?”

Edentia was surprised as if she had seen something in vain.

Golden Dawn’s Perforation.

A mysterious group that has never revealed their identity to the Faculty of Magic for over ten years.

However, the girl in the sky was staring only at Ruin with unwavering eyes.

“The decision is made here. Time is short.”

It was only natural that everyone’s eyes were focused on Ruin.

In the meantime, the fact that Celestial’s true identity was not revealed to the Faculty of Magic would be equivalent to saying that there were no candidates for over ten years.

So, does this mean that Ruin is a celestial candidate after 10 years?

But Chiron was not sure.

The duration of a cadet is 5 years unless the grade is continuously suspended. Excluding the period of the cadet with no rank, it was only four years.

But right now, isn’t the sky girl in front of her wearing a cadet uniform?

however.

Ruin’s answer was a masterpiece.

“refuse.”

Ruin turned his gaze out the window again without regret.

The girl in the sky, who had not seen any change in her emotions, showed panicked feelings in her eyes for the first time.

“… … Really?”

If he, too, was a student at the Faculty of Magic, he would not know what it meant to belong to the ‘Golden Dawn Sky’.

Drilling is more difficult than becoming a standing wizard.

Being a candidate in the sky meant that all faculty members, deans, and even the Mage Tower were watching him.

“I have already chosen.”

At Ruin’s words, all the cadets with no rank stood up and looked at his application form.

“What, what? this?”

“Oh no! Ruin! This!”

As the cadets made a fuss, Shiron, curious, approached Ruin’s desk.

on his desk.

The sentence written in the support group is clear.

＜Voice, aspiring and reclusive＞

“Mo, the voice?”

The refuge of heretics.

The destination of troubled children.

A place that a wizard of genius talent should never choose.

Even that ice-like Lilia was looking at Ruin’s desk with a puzzled expression.

She glared at Ruin with eyes that seemed completely incomprehensible.

“… … Why?”

There was not even an inch of hesitation in Ruin’s answer.

“Because I don’t have to take unnecessary classes.”

As long as you belong to the ‘Voice’, you are free as a cadet regardless of what classes you take.

Optional classroom environment.

Free library access.

With these two secured, Ruin had no choice.

The leader of the Tower, cadet Volkan, was staring at Ruin like a madman.

It’s not even a top, it’s a sky.

I couldn’t even imagine that there would be a crazy person who would choose a voice by throwing away such a golden opportunity.

The fact that the sense of reality is not felt is the same for the other cadets.

But something even more surprising happened.

“Lyria?”

Shurie grabbed Lyria’s hand roughly.

What Lyria’s pen wrote on the application form.

It was the same group ‘Voice’ as Ruin.

“Let go.”

Lillia shook off Shurie’s hand and wrote down the application form.

“Oh, are you crazy?”

Shiron was laughing at Liria’s behavior as if she was interested.

“Funny. That would be really fun.”

snug-

“crazy! Shiron!”

“No, are they all going crazy?”

That’s how ‘voice’ was written on Shiron’s application.
