I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 23
“You’re holding a magic briefing session?”
Coming out of the president’s office, on the way to Delrin’s lake.
Someone spoke to me with their arms crossed and their backs to the wall.
“?”
It was a man with white hair and red eyes. It’s quite impressive that they can modify their uniforms at will and wear quite fancy outfits. The intention to show off seemed excessive.
“I have no choice but to acknowledge this performance. But don’t be too energetic.”
He curled the corners of his mouth awkwardly.
“If your turn had been a little late, you would have been the one to break the walls of the Colosseum.”
The man finished what he had to say and walked off somewhere as if he had nothing else to do.
But soon he turned around and said.
“Oh, I forgot to mention this.”
“…?”
“It seems like you’ve been on the radar of low-income people lately. The world has become so much better now that trashy people dare to raise the name of nobles. I’ve cleaned up everything that bothers my eyes, but the smell of trash doesn’t go away. be careful. “The actions of ignorant things cannot be predicted from the perspective of geniuses like us.”
The man lifted his head, stroking his hair. He looked at Ruid once with arrogant eyes and quickly turned his head.
I thought I was going to go this time, but as I was going again, I stopped dead in my tracks.
This time, I spoke without even turning my head.
“Why am I helping you? Isn’t that obvious—”
I could hear the sound of laughing up to here.
“Because you… are my rival in this body. “I am the only one in this world who can insult you.”
And then I walk again.
This time it didn’t stop.
Ruid looked at the back like he was looking at nuclear waste.
‘What’s with that guy??’
I can definitely say that it was the first person I saw today.
**
“Ah, that unlucky man.”
As I described the absurd characteristics of the man who just said what he wanted to say and then disappeared, Hersi’s eyebrows narrowed.
“Even after looking at me, there are still people who say strange things like saying that I still have a long way to go to catch up with me… and telling me to work harder. Silver hair and red eyes, right? “He’s as tall as an elf.”
The wind came together to express an imaginary person.
The body shape fit perfectly. Ruid nodded.
“that’s right.”
“As expected, that unlucky man was right. I just hate it. “Did you argue with Ruid too?”
“Rather than arguing…”
Ruid recalled earlier.
Rather than having an argument in particular, it felt like he was using himself to fill his self-esteem and disappeared.
“so? who.”
“Damon Kairos. He is the successor to the Kairos duchy. In a word… royal family. Even though they are members of the royal family, they are completely pushed out of the hierarchy and have lower prestige than the Windsors.”
Only then did Ruid find out who the unlucky man from earlier was.
Duke Kairos.
It is a title created for members of the imperial family who have been pushed out of the hierarchy.
For example, when the emperor dies and the title is inherited by the crown prince, the remaining princes are given the surname ‘Kairos’.
In addition, the most outstanding person among them is appointed as the successor and leads the Kairos Duke family.
It was a name that was also engraved in Ruid’s mind.
However…
‘…was Damon that kind of personality?’
What can I say, the Damon I saw in the novel looked a little more dignified.
There is nothing special about this character since he does not appear often in the original work. Ruid decided not to worry.
“By the way, are you preparing well for the magic briefing session?”
“no.”
“…Well, I don’t think Ruid would care about that.”
Hersi paused for a moment, then slightly turned his face and spoke in a low voice.
“…I signed up for the course.”
“huh?”
It was so small I couldn’t hear it clearly.
“Well, I decided to listen to Ruid’s lecture too.”
Hercy blushed from embarrassment.
I know that Ruid is great, but I was still embarrassed that he was attending lectures even though he was my classmate.
“There’s no need to listen to Hersi.”
Ruid looked at Hersy and said.
“Well, what is it? “Are you saying I’m not allowed to listen?”
Hersy said a little annoyed.
Ruid shook his head.
“It means there is no need. “You just have to ask me directly.”
“…yes?”
“I mean magic.”
“really?”
Hersi opened his eyes wide.
Ruid nodded as if asking what was the problem.
“But… that’s rude. “You’re asking a wizard about magic.”
Ruid knew what Hersy meant, but the tone was very strange. If you don’t ask a wizard about magic, who should you ask?
“I don’t think it’s rude. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. “But only when I’m awake.”
However, it was doubtful whether his method would be helpful to Hercy. To be honest, most magic works ‘just’.
“Well, even if I ask, I won’t disturb Ruid’s nap…”
“Yes. “Then it’s okay.”
“…Am I really asking this? “There’s no need to later say it was a joke.”
“I said I understand.”
Hercy smiled brightly.
“Then I will ask without hesitation.”
Hersi immediately took out a pen and notebook like a prepared person.
“now…?”
“…it can not?”
“It’s not like it can’t be done.”
I had no idea you would ask this straight away.
Ruid nodded his head slowly.
“good. ask.”
“Then what I was most curious about was…”
Hercy began to ask questions. Ruid answered without much hesitation.
That was quite unexpected even for Ruid himself. When I heard the question, the answer came to mind automatically.
After talking like that for about an hour.
An unexpected problem arose.
“Then what’s next…”
“…again?”
Hersy became sullen.
“sorry. “Did I ask too much?”
“Oh, no. ask.”
‘I said I would teach you for no reason…’
…Hercy’s passion for learning was incredible.
**
“saw? “The Lord of the Magic Tower has come.”
“Hehe… I even got an autograph.”
“Ahh! “That’s shameful, Felton!”
“If it’s unfair, you should accept it too. “He’s still there.”
Hercy walked down the hallway with an expressionless face.
The Academy was in a bit of an excited mood today.
This is because key figures from the Magic Society came. When you graduate from the academy, you usually go to academia or a university, so it was very important to make a mark.
Of course, the story had nothing to do with Hercy, who would inherit the family.
‘Now that I think about it, what will Ruid do after he graduates?’
Hercy, who was thinking about entering the magic tower, immediately shook her head.
‘…That can’t be possible.’
Ruid said he was not interested in the position of head of the family. But Windsor was different from the typical family situation.
Personnel who do not inherit the title are kicked out of the family to eliminate any possible threats, but Windsors reside in the family and help in other ways.
So, if Ruid wanted to use his talent at Windsor, he would have used it and not come to a troublesome place like an academic society.
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
At that time, Sophia greeted Hersi.
Nod.
Hersi didn’t say anything, just nodded and passed by.
Like a complete stranger.
Sophia’s expression darkened.
‘To gain something without losing anything is greed, Sophia.’
Hersi thought of Sophia, who remained neutral when there was conflict with the commoners.
I couldn’t say we were that close, but we interacted often since we were young.
Nevertheless, they are treated like commoners who have been playing for a few weeks.
Hersi’s attitude of not wanting to be hated by anyone was very endearing.
That’s not noble.
Hersi sat down and took out a writing pad and notebook. After tidying up, I put my hands on my knees and straightened my back.
It was still 30 minutes before the lecture started. The reason I came so quickly was to get a good seat.
-‘Isn’t Ruid really amazing? I can’t believe you’re already getting attention from academic societies at such a young age. Ha, what did I do when I was that age?’
-‘I’m more jealous of my family… What does it feel like to live as the youngest member of the Windsor family? Even Amelia is said to be a gentle sheep in front of Ruid.’
I could hear the other students who came first whispering. Hersi shrugged his shoulders for no reason.
‘I’m always with Ruid.’
I was proud to always be with someone that people admired.
Hersi smiled coyly and secretly activated the magic power of the wind. It was to listen to the sound more closely.
“What do you want to do later? “It’s a public lecture today.”
“really? why?”
“You didn’t know? If you listen to the magic briefing, please let me rest that day. “I need to review what I heard.”
“Wow, awesome! I didn’t know. Do you want to go get dessert?”
“Good-”
“Good thing you came! “I just came because I thought Delrin’s lake fairy was as cute as rumored.”
Hersi cut off the wind’s magic with a sullen expression.
‘That’s rude. When I came to listen to the lecture, I said something like that.’
Hersi thought about that and kicked the floor.
Now that I think about it, I was the only person in this classroom.
That’s right – since attendance was held at Delrin’s lake, there was no opportunity to interact. Even if there were, he himself rejected them all.
I don’t have any regrets because I think I gained a precious relationship with Luid and Amelia thanks to him, but
when I was alone like this, sometimes I felt lonely.
“It’s noisy, lowlifes. What is this body doing when it comes to you?”
At that time, the lecture room became cold at the sound of a man’s voice suddenly appearing.
All students’ eyes were focused on one place.
It was Damon Kairos. he shouted.
“Why are you doing anything other than paying respect?”
One by one, they stood up, bowed, and bowed with expressions on their faces.
“It is an honor to see Kairos’s red light illuminating the empire.”
Damon waved his hand. Then everyone sat down.
Of course Hersy didn’t do it. The position of Minerva’s successor is a heavy one.
Damon approached Hercy as if that was too bad.
“Hoo, have you seen such an arrogant girl? “You don’t even see it.”
“Even if the crown prince actually comes, such etiquette is not practiced at the academy.”
Hersy pointed out correctly. Damon chuckled and sat down next to her, crossing his legs.
Hercy frowned and glanced at Damon.
“Why are you sitting here?”
“No matter where you look, it’s full of insignificant people. “This is the only place for this body to sit.”
“…Can’t you see your fiancee sitting alone over there?”
“Oh, now that I think about it, you have a fiancee. “She’s such a boring girl that I can’t even remember her name.”
‘The worst man.’
Hersi was quite displeased.
Even if my fiancee was a stranger, I would have been offended, and even if it was someone I knew. It was Sophia.
No matter how much he prepared to distance himself from Sofia, he treated his fiancee like that.
“Would you care about my reputation too? “If a man with a fiancée sits next to him, there is a risk of misunderstanding.”
Damon furrowed his eyebrows as if he hadn’t even thought about that.
But then he smiled and said.
“Relax, girl. “I have no intention of stealing my rival’s woman.”
“…rival?”
“huh? Wasn’t it? “Didn’t you always stick close to Ruid?”
“—!”
Hercy’s face turned red.
‘…a bit of the worst man.’
The evaluation of Damon changed drastically.
**
Ruid opened the classroom door on time.
…Actually, I almost got late this time, but Amelia woke me up.
-‘That’s the rumor…’
-‘Wow, you’re really young. If you already have that kind of skill, your future is very bright.’
A whispering sound was heard.
Looking to the side, he saw countless people looking at him.
‘Why are there so many?’
Ruid felt a little burdened.
It’s not just people.
Five or six crystal spheres for recording images were shining on me.
Even the academy president, Clifford, was sitting in the front row.
‘Maybe I should have prepared a little more.’
Ruid thought deeply.
Have you ever done PT in a past life?
I remembered that there were several times during group assignments when I decided to do the presentation myself because I was too lazy to do data research.
What was the result?
I don’t think it was bad or good.
‘Can I do well?’
I felt many things in people’s eyes.
Doubt, anticipation, distrust.
All of that was a burden.
Ruid has never stood in front of so many people or faced someone’s expectations.
Because I was just unemployed.
but.
‘I don’t know why, but I think I can do well.’
I have that feeling.
Ruid slowly opened his mouth.
“The magic briefing will begin now.”
Click.
The transparent light of the recording crystal ball spread.
