I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 21

Magic depletion.
This is a symptom that any wizard must experience.

It is so common that some people deplete their magic power like eating a meal, while others call it a virtue of a wizard.

Symptoms vary widely. Some people fainted completely, while others remained sick for a month.

What determines the difference is the amount of mana. The less it is, the greater the recoil, and the more it is, the smaller the recoil.

There is bound to be a big difference in the amount of fundamental magic recovery between a person with a capacity of 10 and a wizard with a capacity of 100.

In other words, it is equivalent to the total amount of magic power of an ordinary wizard coming in just by Ruid breathing for a moment.

However, even Ruid could not completely escape the backlash of mana depletion.

‘I’m dizzy… I’m feeling dizzy… I’m sleepy… I want to sleep quickly.’

Ruid blinked as he walked.

“Are you sleepy?”

Amelia, who was watching Ruid carefully, asked. I looked up at Amelia with half-closed eyes.

“Ame noona.”

“huh?”

Ruid said, rubbing his tired eyes.

“I’m done with my cane. “Make me a new one.”

“Oh, yes. “It lasted a long time this time.”

Amelia looked around after hearing those words, and picked up a suitable tree branch.

Hersi looked at the figure curiously and took out a water bucket. It was water containing a mana suppressant.

“This will do.”

Amelia slightly pulled out her sword and trimmed the tree branch. After holding it up to the sunlight and looking at it carefully, I cut off about 1/3 of it.

And then I started grinding the ends into a round shape.

Tick-.

He put away his sword and handed me a tree branch.

“complete.”

“thank you.”

“Cough.”

Hersi came across a case while drinking water.

“Uh, that… are you using it as is?”

Ruid nodded and put the staff in his arms.

Hercy was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t speak properly.

For a wizard, a wand is an essential item that cannot be dispensed with.

A wand usually contained essential functions for a wizard, such as a function to drastically reduce magical power consumption and a function to carefully design magic.

Of course, such things do not happen for free. No matter how Delrin’s forest trees were, they were meaningless unless they were processed.

But the opponent was Luid.

“…Can you use that?”

“It’s okay because my sister has a good knife.”

“It seems like a good thing.”

‘What does that have to do with it?’

Hercy was confused.
Amelia kindly explained.

“The name of my sword is Khalifa. This is a sword made with the power of stars. It is said to be sacred in itself, and it is said to be imbued with a special magical energy just by touching it. “I heard that they are compatible, so I am making Ruid’s magic wand.”

Amelia quietly boasted.

‘That’s bullshit.’

In fact, I just liked Amelia’s wood carving skills.
When Amelia carves wood, it feels smooth and nice to the touch.

In the first place, Ruid only used the staff when careful distribution of magic power was needed, and he did not use it to amplify magic power like other wizards, so any wand was fine.

“As expected… the holy sword is different.”

Gulp, Hercy swallowed.
I’m thinking of asking her later when we get closer.

“Oh right.”

Hersi remembered something he had forgotten for a moment.

“You know, when Ruid disappeared for a moment, Lady Ryan came and picked one of Adrane’s flowers. That’s okay…”

Hercy couldn’t finish his sentence.
This is because Ruid, who was walking while dozing off, collapsed.
Amelia caught it before it hit the floor.

“That’s strange. “I usually don’t fall asleep while walking.”

Amelia tilted her head and held it. Ruid was sleeping soundly.

My younger brother’s body was small. Amelia, known as Geomhee, had powers that were completely different from those of the criminal, but even considering that, she was very light.

Hersi said, ‘It’s cute. While repeating the words ‘I want to touch you’ to myself 50 times, I looked at Luid in Amelia’s arms.

“So, could you please tell me?”

Amelia had a cold tone, unlike when she was with Lloyd.

“What can I tell you?”

The quick-witted Hersy responded with a gentle smile. Amelia nodded with her eyes and brought up the topic.

“Recently, Ruid seems worried. It’s the first time I’ve seen this kid worry like that. Do you know what it is?”

‘You have to answer well here.’

Even if it wasn’t Luid, Amelia was someone who there was nothing wrong with becoming friends with.

But now, more than that, as Ruid’s friend who hangs out the most, his qualifications had to be recognized.

“I’m not sure, but I think it’s most likely something that happened in practice a few days ago.”

“Are you saying that the excessive disposition at the Academy was the cause?”

Hersy shook his head at Amelia’s sharp words.

“no. At that time, Ruid mentioned that it didn’t really matter. “I’m not the type to necessarily hide my opinion, so it must be sincere.”

“then?”

‘What if not? ‘Maybe I’m being presumptuous.’

Hersy thought for a moment, but the possibility of that happening was very small, so he spoke confidently.

“Do you remember a commoner named Justin?”

“yes. “I know that Lady Hercy is someone who showed off wonderful magic.”

“When he challenged Amelia to spar, Ruid’s expression was noticeably stiff.”

While everyone’s attention was focused on Amelia and Justin, only Hersy was looking at Luid. This is because I was wondering what words to open the topic with at the time.

“Luid’s ideals also started happening from then on. “I don’t know the exact cause, but…”

That was why Hersy took action. Of course, one of the reasons was that he pointed a finger at Amelia, who dared not do anything to him.

“Maybe it’s because you don’t like the fact that you asked Amelia to spar with you on a commoner topic?”

Hercy guessed based on his own experience.

Because it was Luid who I connected better with in terms of personality than any other person I had met so far.

“well. My younger brother respects his own formality, but he doesn’t care about other people’s formality. “Even at home, I don’t get angry at all no matter what mistakes my maid makes.”

‘…You never got angry at the maid?’

Hercy didn’t necessarily grab the ones below, but she had no mercy when it came to mistakes. She thought that Ruid was very kind.

“However, it seems that Lady Hercy is right. It seems certain that he has a cause. Justin. “I’ll remember your name.”

“no. Amelia is too weak to step forward on her own. Please, leave this matter to me.”

Amelia immediately stroked Hersy’s head. Hercy’s eyes opened wide.

“I just want to remember your name. There is no need for Lady Hersi to worry. Um…”

Amelia smiled.

“It’s fortunate that a wise person like Lady Hersi is by Ruid’s side. I think we’ll see each other often in the future. “Can I call you Hersy?”

When a noble asked if it was okay to call him by his name, it meant that he would become friendly with him from now on.

‘Isn’t this a dream?’

Hercy hurriedly nodded.

“yes yes! “Of course, Amelia.”

**

Ruid was sleeping soundly, drooling.
I tossed and turned because the bed was uncomfortable.

‘This place isn’t great.’

It may seem like you can sleep anywhere in Delrin’s lake, but in fact, Ruid’s sleeping philosophy was strict.

First of all, it has to be flat. And the head slope had to be higher than the feet.

The place where Ruid was lying now was not very sloped. In times like this, the best thing to do is to roll around and search.

Ruid started rolling to the right. And not long after –

boom.

“….”

It fell to the floor.
Ruid stood up holding his head.

“It’s home.”

It was not a soft lake with a blue light, but a room with an old-fashioned design.

“When will I get home… Ah, my sister must have moved.”

Ruid mumbled and got up and went outside. I touched the heart area. Mana was about half full.

It is said that it takes an ordinary wizard 4-5 days to recover his magic power, but he doesn’t seem to need that much time. I felt like I would recover completely when tomorrow came.

As I came out into the central hall, a maid with a familiar face lowered her head.

“Good morning, no. Welcome, master.”

The maid lowered her head with a soft smile. It was Sherry, Ruid’s exclusive maid. She was holding a broom, probably cleaning.

Of course, things like cleaning could be solved with a simple gesture, but Sherry flatly refused, saying there was nothing to do in the system.

“What about your sister?”

“I am having a conversation with Lady Hersi, who is a guest.”

“…Hercy? “Is Hercy here too?”

“yes. “It turned out that he was the owner of the mansion across the street.”

‘What an amazing coincidence.’

Ruid, who I had no idea was living in front of my house.

However, Ruid did not know that half of the villas on the island were owned by the Minerva family.

Ruid hurriedly headed there.

“Uh, master?”

“huh?”

“Are you going to see the lady?”

“however.”

Sherry said with a friendly smile.

“I don’t know if it’s normal, but wouldn’t it be very rude to wear pajamas when there are guests over?”

“It’s okay because we’re close.”

“Isn’t that rude?”

“….”

“Excuse me.”

Sherry was still smiling.

Ruid looked at Sherry intently, and it gradually became fainter.

It was an invisibility spell.

Sherry’s laughter gradually diminished.

“young master.”

Then, in an almost instantaneous movement, he reached under the railing.

“Excuse me.”

Sherry grabbed the back of Ruid’s neck and lifted him up.

Then he put it on his side and disappeared into the room.

**

‘No matter how many times it happens, it’s shameful.’

After being dressed by Sherry, Ruid unbuttoned the wrists of his shirt because it was uncomfortable.

Others. I couldn’t get used to having my clothes changed by a woman no matter how many times I tried it.

Sherry and I entered the banquet hall. Hersy, who was talking to Amelia, stood up immediately.

“Are you awake?”

“How long did I sleep?”

Amelia thought for a moment and said.

“Um… 17 hours?”

“I didn’t sleep much. Hello Hersy. “Is the academy over?”

Ruid almost sat down on a high chair. Hercy then sat down and nodded.

“yes. Thankfully, Amelia invited me and I had just arrived.”

Hersi smiled brightly and said something.

“This is a visiting gift. These are tea leaves imported from Cayman Territory. “It has a very deep flavor and is a great tea to enjoy in the morning.”

“Thank you Hersi. “I will eat well.”

Amelia took the tea leaves.

‘It seems like you two have become a bit close.’

I noticed that the word ‘young-ae’ was missing.
Next to me, Amelia cleared her throat.

“Hmm, Sherry. “Please bring the tea.”

Sherry, who was guarding the door, came over and took the tea leaves. She went straight to get tea.

“But, it’s surprising that there is only one maid in such a large mansion.”

Hercy said, looking around. “It would be difficult to manage.”

“To be exact, there is one more deacon. However, he is busy with outside work and does not come to the mansion often. “Sherry does everything related to the mansion.”

“…covering this large mansion with just one maid? “Is that possible?”

Hercy’s eyes widened.
Amelia said with dignity.

“Sherry is a capable maid.”

Hercy must have meant how there is only one maid in this large mansion.

Amelia deliberately diverted her words.

Ruid looked at Amelia with salty eyes.

‘I guess you don’t want to be caught. Well, my pride would be hurt a lot.’

Ruid decided to keep Amelia’s secret.

After a while, Sherry appeared holding a teacup. I politely set the car down for Hercy and Ruid.

The corners of Amelia’s mouth trembled.

“Sherry.”

“yes.”

“Mine…?”

Amelia’s eyes were earnest.

But the sherry was sweet.

“You have to eat on your own, young lady.”

Hersi’s eyes widened as she enjoyed the scent of tea.

Ruid drank his tea casually, as if he had expected it.

“….”

Amelia bit her lip and glared at Sherry.

“On days like this… won’t you give me a little something? “A guest came for the first time.”

“I have no obligation to do so. “I was only ordered to assist you, Master.”

It was the Windsor family rule.
From the moment you leave the northern mansion, the successor exam begins.
All you are given is only 20 gold and an accompanying test tube.
A score is given and tested to see how you get through this extremely difficult situation.
Of course, none of this applies to Ruid.

“You think you’re grateful for even staying at this mansion.”

“…!”

Amelia was able to stay at the mansion as Lloyd’s guardian.
It was a special order from the Duke of Windsor to protect Ruid under any circumstances.
In other words, he is clearly an ‘escort knight’.

But I don’t know about other times, but I can’t believe I’m being treated like this even in front of guests.
Amelia said while gritting her molars.

“What are you really planning to do when you return to the North?”

“That was then and now is now. “If you really want me to have tea, you must use your skills to achieve it.”

“…I asked if you were coming as a maid to Ruid.”

Amelia smiled scaryly and loosened her hands.

I rolled up my sleeves and walked over to Sherry. Sherry also took a fighting stance that seemed familiar. Soon a fight broke out.

Hersi had a blank expression as he had difficulty understanding the situation.

Bang, bang!

The sound of the two clashing fists could be clearly heard.

The pillar shook and powder fell.

Ruid spoke quietly.

“It’s peaceful.”

“Uh, is this your usual life going to Windsor…?”

“It’s completely normal.”

Ruid thought as he leisurely sipped his tea.

‘It really has depth of flavor. It’s a good tea.’

After all, peace is best.
