I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 141
EP.141
There were no monsters left in the open plateau. The snow was evaporated by a high-voltage laser, revealing bare ground.
‘It’s neat.’
Ruid really liked this magic. Irene smiled quietly and stroked her head.
“As always, today’s magic is perfect. “I killed him well, leaving nothing behind.”
“Where is Sister Amelia?”
Ruid got down from Irene’s arms and looked around.
I came to look for Amelia, but there was no one involved.
“They kicked it out.”
“uh?”
“You dared to hit Ruid in the face, but you can’t just sit there and watch, right? “He is currently on probation.”
Irene was still smiling.
However, the image of Irene beating Amelia like a dog came to mind. It’s a sight I’ve seen often.
“There’s no need to go that far…”
“It is a serious crime to steal game, so there is nothing we can do about it.”
“huh?”
“You took the game that Louis worked so hard to kill, right?”
Irene is not good at remembering people’s names. So, they are often called animal names such as ‘dog’ or ‘cat’.
It may have been for the same reason that Shearer was referred to as prey, but for some reason, it felt as if they were not treated as the same person.
‘He’s not even human.’
Even though he was already dead and had nowhere to vent his anger, Ruid shook his head, still angry at Colon’s death.
“that’s right. Sister Amelia was bad. “It was the prey I was going to kill.”
“Well. “I guess I should have beaten you up even more.”
“it’s okay. “Because I don’t know you anymore.”
This image lingered in Irene’s eyes and then disappeared.
She said it jokingly.
“Then I am the only older sister of Louis.”
“that’s right. “I only have Irene now.”
Ruid said without thinking. Irene felt as if an electric current was flowing throughout her body.
It’s a nice sound to hear.
Of course, Ruid didn’t notice that Irene felt that way.
‘First of all, I want to see Amelia.’
“So where is Amelia now?”
“You’re probably crying in the corner of the practice room by now.”
“okay. “Thank you, sister.”
“Are you going to see Amelia?”
“huh?”
I caught Luid as he was about to leave.
Irene secretly wrapped her arms around Ruid’s waist.
“uh…”
Ruid answered a little hesitantly. Irene’s reaction was a little strange.
“It’s too easy to forgive already.”
“I don’t mean to forgive you.”
“Showing Louis’ face is forgiveness in itself. Rather, why don’t you go see something fun with your sister?”
Irene said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“Something fun?”
“Something fun.”
Ruid was honestly worried about Amelia. So I wanted to go as quickly as possible.
“sorry. “I want to go see my sister.”
“hmm…”
Irene spoke for a long time. He had an openly sad expression on his face.
“It’s too much, Louis, to even ban me from entering.”
When Ruid heard those words, he was momentarily taken aback.
“No, it’s not like that…”
“I understand. “Don’t worry about your sister and go to Ame.”
It was a face that absolutely begged me to pay attention to it.
‘Are you really upset?’
It is difficult to know Irene’s thoughts. Even though we are a family, there are many times when we think, ‘What on earth are we thinking about?’ In other words, I was not good at expressing my emotions.
But I was feeling sad. Ruid was confused about how to react to this rare sight.
“Ah Okay. What’s fun? I miss you.”
‘It’ll be okay for a while.’
In the end, Ruid chose to let Irene move as she wanted.
Then Irene raised the corners of her mouth as usual, as if asking when she was upset.
“Follow me.”
‘This is something…’
Ruid couldn’t shake the feeling that something had caught him.
**
What Irene guided me to was the basement. There was a staircase leading to the basement in a corner, and this was the first time Ruid knew of such a thing.
“Where am I?”
“You will find out when you go.”
As I went down the stairs, it became strangely dark and cold. It was natural since it was underground, but Ruid thought it was even more strange than that.
The air is heavy.
‘Hey, Irene, she won’t take me to a strange place.’
Because being bullied was a daily occurrence, Ruid got rid of this feeling of déjà vu. Instead, since it was dark, he took out his wand and turned on the light.
“It’s always fascinating to see Louis use magic.”
Irene glanced at Ruid and said softly.
“huh? “Once again.”
I thought Ruid was talking about silent chanting. For an average wizard, memorizing spells and such is one-sided. However, if it was a simple magic, there was no need for a spell.
“Usually it ‘appears’ through a medium, but Louis suddenly creates it out of thin air.”
Irene pointed to the fire that was created some distance away from the wand.
‘I see.’
Normally, the fire should come from the tip of the wand, but the fire is located away from the wand.
This was also evidence that Ruid’s structure for using magic was different from others.
In reality, Ruid just had a simple thought: ‘I wish there was fire.’
‘Now that I think about it, how do other people use magic?’
Suddenly, a fundamental question occurred to Ruid.
Usually, to use magic, you change one ‘element’.
For example, fire is the principle in which a hot substance combines with oxygen and is emitted.
Magic can replace this ‘hot substance’. Through an energy source called mana.
However, if there is no air, fire magic cannot be used. In other words, magic is not creation, but fake. It replaces one component with an all-purpose energy called mana.
However, when Ruid uses magic, even that ‘air’ can be replaced. It may seem like a small difference, but it is a huge difference. This means that all the structures required to use magic can be omitted.
‘…Then there’s no need for me to use the magic of this world, right?’
The magic that exists in this world begins with the ‘hierarchy magic’ created by Delrin.
If nothing else, Delrin was clearly a wizard who could not use magic like himself. It was impossible to create something from nothing.
So, since the method of using magic is different from the beginning, is it right to follow the concept created by Delrin?
“uh.”
Ruid stopped walking.
“Why?”
“…I think I realized something amazing.”
Great discoveries start from nothing.
It was the same with Luid. But what he found out was not a big deal.
Maybe it could shake the very foundation of this world…
‘Has that gone too far? Anyway, it seems necessary to experiment.’
Redefine and create new magical concepts.
Creating something is difficult, but as if he had foreseen this situation, there was a strong presence in Ruid.
Not a slave… but Ella, a decent academy professor’s assistant.
He had been entrusted with researching magic in the 5th dimension, but even in Ruid’s opinion, it was too harsh a task.
Because it’s no different from telling a graduate student to find out the fourth element.
‘I can do the 5th dimension research and leave the organizing of new magic concepts to Ella.’
“That’s amazing.”
Ruid was startled when he saw Irene staring down at him right in front of him.
“It’s a surprise.”
“Even though I haven’t done anything, Louis is steadily getting stronger.”
Irene traced her lips with her tongue.
“He’s my younger brother after all.”
For some reason, Ruid felt embarrassed. I passed over the situation carelessly.
“Let’s go quickly, sister. So what do you have to show me?”
“Oh, you forgot something important. Everyone has arrived. “Come here.”
I started walking again. As Irene said, there weren’t many stairs left.
It was dark all the way here, but from here it became bright enough to be able to identify people. There were quite a few torches nearby.
Ruid waved his wand to turn off the light and looked around.
And I immediately realized where this was.
“…here.”
Iron bars and various torture devices.
There are scattered stains on the walls and floor.
Ruid wasn’t stupid enough not to notice that this stain was blood.
This is a prison. Otherwise, it is a torture field.
“It’s a place where disobedient cats can open their mouths.”
The correct answer seems to have been the latter. It was Ruid’s first time in such a secluded place. Although it had grown very beautifully, it was also not a place for a duke’s son to come.
“Why are you here…”
That was what Ruid was most curious about. Irene smiled brightly and held her hand.
“You will find out soon.”
I walked with Irene, feeling nervous.
As I turned the corner, one of the knights guarding this place quickly stood up and saluted.
“Thank you for your hard work. “You can go rest for a while.”
Irene said kindly. The quick-witted knight immediately bowed and disappeared.
For some reason, Ruid’s heart was pounding. The air here is somewhat scary.
“I was sad to hear the news. “Luid is trying to do something, but Amelia is blocking him without even noticing.”
Irene shook her head.
“How long are we going to let you be a child? “He is now a grown Windsor.”
Irene gently stroked Ruid.
However, Ruid could not respond in any way.
The scene right in front of me was just as shocking.
“Off-”
He is a familiar person. It’s impossible not to know.
Galahad, an imperial knight who sympathized with Shearer when he killed Colon.
“So I prepared.”
He was hanging on the wall with his hands and legs tied with chains –
his body was covered in blood and no part of it was intact.
The right leg and right arm were turned in opposite directions, and although the face was fine, there was a lot of blood in the mouth.
“Kill me, kill me.”
He opened his mouth with difficulty. Irene walked right up to the front and backed away.
“This criminal killed Colon. Amelia seems to have naively thought that Shearer was the only culprit, but she complained a few times when Rosalie cut out her soul. “He participated in killing Colon.”
Ruid was so shocked that he couldn’t open his mouth. All I could do was see the image of Galahad in my field of vision and hold onto my rapidly beating heart.
“Still, I’m glad that one person is alive. Thanks to you, I was able to find out. “The Empire was preparing for war against us.”
“…War?”
“okay. Maybe he’s figured out Damon’s plan. “Because Damon, who was second in line to the throne during the worst time in history with Windsor, is here.”
Irene continued talking to Ruid, who was shocked, with a smiling face.
“Louis’ judgment is right enough that I want to praise it. “He killed the people of the North, so of course he wanted to kill them himself.”
“Kill me, kill me. please…”
Galahad muttered in a hoarse voice. The corners of Irene’s mouth became darker.
“I left out all the information that needed to be left out. Will you do his favor? “Louis.”
Irene pulled out her sword. He held the blade in his hand so that it was easier for him to hold it, then handed it to him.
Ruid looked at the sword with blank eyes. This sounded like it meant killing someone ‘directly’ with one’s own hands rather than using magic.
And the guess was probably correct.
“Ah, Louis.”
When Ruid hesitated, Irene forced the sword into his hand and spoke kindly to him.
“They say the most painful way to cut someone is to stab them in the abdomen.”
Then he stood up and took four steps back.
Ruid still looked at the sword with a blank expression and then looked at Galahad. I repeated that several times.
My heart was racing and I felt dizzy.
Irene thought of something to ease the worries of her little brother, who was still hesitant.
“Note that-”
Ruid recalled the image of Colon, who had become a total bastard.
He was a knight of Windsor, but he was an old knight past his prime.
He is not a worthy opponent to the Imperial Knights.
“They say this criminal played with Colon, who was fighting back. “Ignoring Shearer’s opinion to kill him cleanly.”
At that moment, something broke in Ruid’s mind.
“Kill him as cruelly as possible. That is the best revenge for Colon.”
Irene was anxious and didn’t say anything more.
This is because Ruid was already standing in front of Galahad with his sword held high.
