Grand Duke of the Heibern House - Chapter 103



＜Chapter 103＞

Several magic cadets stood nervously near the academy’s underground entrance.

“It’s been a week already.”

The leader of the ‘Wisteria Tower of Illusion’, cadet Volkan, was displeased with the fact that he was wasting a week waiting for a cadet with no rank.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t invade another group’s ruins.”

The female cadet who criticized Volkan was none other than the leader of the ‘Dreaming Firebird’s Nest’, cadet Edentia.

The ruins are the group’s sanctuary.

Although it is not known, the voice group was definitely a group, so we couldn’t invade their territory recklessly.

“Damn it, why is that Ruin so obsessed with physical training?”

“Didn’t you hear what Reyes said? He’s a War Mage. The guy who overpowered that ignorant muscle monster with just martial arts.”

The reason why the cadets of the Faculty of Magic were camped at the underground entrance of the academy was to prevent cadets with no rank from training at the training ground.

Even if it wasn’t so, the juniors who were usually persecuted were enduring a more difficult academy life because of the voices.

If it stimulated those ignorant ‘roaring twilight’ guys more, it wouldn’t be strange if anything happened.

Right now, Airline Academy is in a state like an active volcano that may erupt at any moment.

“Warmage? Successor of Heirodos? Who do you know as an idiot? Do you believe Reyes?”

“then?”

“Reyes is a sneaky bastard. They must be making fools of us and plotting something else behind the scenes.”

“ah? So, are the other cadets who watched the duel all the same idiots?”

“Be careful with your words. Edentia.”

Edentia, who had been lightly ignoring and suffocating, looked at the underpass with a bright smile.

“I’m still a little refreshed. A junior who defeated a second ranker in the Knights Faculty in a match against a person. guy… … It really wasn’t bluffing.”

“what? Do you know him?”

“You asked me. Who do I have to defeat to use the training ground?”

Third-class magic cadet Bazan, who had been listening carefully among the seniors, showed curiosity.

“So you’re saying that his duel was planned in the first place? Seniors?”

“About half of it.”

“Half?”

“The ranker I told you to deal with wasn’t the muscle monster Olkan.”

“ah… … .”

Third rank magic cadet Lisha’s voice continued.

“Actually, senior… … There are more kids who treat him as a hero.”

“I guess so. Most of the juniors have endured the persecution of the twilight guys.”

Edentia’s gaze scanned the juniors.

“But no further turmoil. If there is even a gang fight, everyone will be expelled from school. It’s best to move on quietly at this point.”

The maximum allowed by the academy is even a duel.

If there is a group war, the academy will definitely rule by school rules.

And ‘Twilight’ were enough crazy people to do such a thing.

“It doesn’t look like it’s going to come out today, but I’m leaving.”

When Volcan turned around like that.

Third rank magic cadet Bajan’s astonishment was heard.

“Hey, over there! Voice cadets!”

“what?”

Volcan looked back with a quick glance.

Geeing-

The voice cadets were slowly rising to the ground on the floating stairs.

Confirming that there were no knots on their red epaulettes, Volcan’s eyes shone fiercely.

“Now I get to see those idiot juniors.”

Unlike Volkan, who showed off his unpleasant emotions without hesitation, Edentia had a strange expression.

‘Those guys… … Something… … .’

Unranked cadets of the Voice group.

It was a completely different feeling from when we met outside the academy or at the inn.

However, the feeling could not be easily expressed in words.

To put it bluntly, something deeper, more calm eyes.

And the relaxation that comes without knowing it.

The mood of the guys was so completely different.

“oh? Senior Edentia!”

The one waving with a bright smile is Shiron, the grandson of the wise man.

The identities of those voice cadets had already been dug into the academy.

In particular, that beautiful-faced Daphne, the disciple of the sage Egios, was famous enough to rival Ruin.

Boo Woo-

Edentia approached as the cadets with no rank descended from the floating stairs one by one.

She immediately looked at Luin.

“What have you been doing at the ruins for the whole week?”

“training.”

Ruin’s short answer.

Volkan’s head bent at an odd angle.

“This is a guy who has even obliterated etiquette.”

When Ruin’s nonchalant gaze turned to Volcan, Edentia hurriedly stopped it.

“It is a futile delusion to ask for courtesy from this guy. Just do it.”

“Are you trying to ignore the academy’s ranking system?”

“phew… … .”

In fact, Edentia didn’t even recognize that Ruin was talking to her.

From nob le mt l. co m

For some reason, it felt so natural.

His far-sighted gaze, his graceful and refined dignity, made me feel as if I had a great nobleman in front of me.

“The cheeky guys who live only for their own taste always ignore conventional wisdom and systems. Please, you bastard, keep that arrogance for a long time.”

A suffocating aura appeared on Luin’s face.

His tone was not arrogant or ostentatious.

It’s a question of self-consciousness.

The archmage’s ego, which had lived for tens of thousands of years, instinctively did not tolerate honorifics from these pit bulls.

“Neither the second ranker nor the aristocrat can ignore the academy’s rank.”

Daphne’s careful advice.

Ruin became calm again and gazed at Edentia.

“Did you come out to disrupt our training?”

“ah… … .”

Infinitely transparent and calm.

Those cold eyes, those insensitive emotions always baffled Edentia.

It feels like my heart is racing just by looking at them face to face.

Volkan, who was watching, intervened.

“You bastard! Continue that cheeky attitude… … !”

“Senior, do you really want to hear this one word?”

All the cadets with no rank opened their mouths.

It was because it was the first time Ruin spoke honorifics to a grade cadet.

“If you are a style that fills your self-esteem with respectful words from juniors, I will treat you that way. step.”

“what? self-esteem?”

“All I can get is one word of honor from me. You will have to give up the true meaning of dialogue, that is, persuasion, from the beginning.”

Ruin, who turned away from Volcan’s gaze, immediately spoke to the cadets.

“I’m going to the training ground.”

“Now, hold on!”

Edentia hurriedly ran to block Ruin.

“Ignore that guy. He’s such a guy Let’s talk for a minute. Did we get along quite well?”

Daphne, who was exchanging glances with Edentia, stabbed Ruin in the side.

“Senior must have a position, so let’s listen.”

“That’s right, Luin. If you’re not going to fight a duel with all the seniors, let’s listen.”

As soon as Shiron agreed, Ruin’s sullen expression faded a little.

＜Magicians are beings who contemplate rationality and seek rationality. Conflict with everyone is not the wizard’s way.＞

“What, what!”

“Eh, voice amplification magic?”

Class cadets from the Faculty of Magic were staring around in amazement.

Volcan and Edentia were the only cadets who were surprised with a slightly different result from them.

“I hope this!”

“Absolute command… … ?”

Daphne smiled broadly at Volkan’s question and nodded.

“Your senior. Over there, Louise is the holder of the absolute command.”

Volkan blankly followed Daphne’s gaze.

There, a female student with no rank with a wooden staff in her hand was smiling brightly.

＜Hello, sir. Hello first. My name is Louise. Best wishes.＞

Volcan was frozen as it was.

A level as legendary as Heirodes’ spell, the Absolute Word Spirit.

He never dreamed that he would experience the theoretical realm firsthand.

Volcan, who came to his senses belatedly, hurriedly took the example of magic.

“Me too, I’m glad. It is Volcan.”

A response worthy of a courteous courtesy.

As if feeling something, Ruin, who had a strange expression, looked at Edentia.

“Let’s listen first.”

“ah? Will you please?”

Ruin’s tone changed, but she still didn’t recognize it.

“For now, you guys won’t give up on training, right?”

“As you said.”

As if she knew that, Edentia nodded with a cautious expression.

“I’ll try to negotiate with the twilight guys somehow, so give me some more time. Adjusting the time zone or saving face by notifying them beforehand is enough room for negotiation.”

“… … .”

“Oh, and think about how to pay for the use of the training ground. I don’t know how much I’ll call it, but it’s better than fighting all the Twilight guys, right?”

Louin frowned.

“It’s like a reward.”

“what… … I can’t help it if you think so, but it’ll be better than the current way.”

“Why are you doing this?”

Edentia let out a long sigh.

“The odds of that happening are low, but… … Assume that you who defeated the 6th ranked Lee Myeong ranker will be safe the whole time. Your friends don’t seem to have average skills either, so let’s pretend we beat the Twilight guys somehow.”

Edentia scanned the rankless cadets one after another.

“But after you guys entered the ruins and abandoned them? All the persecution and containment that will become more severe must be handled by ordinary magic students.”

As if he had expected it, Ruin nodded calmly before opening his mouth again.

“It was strange from the start.”

“what?”

“Dueling is the only method of conflict resolution allowed by the academy. However, that method will inevitably put the Faculty of Magic, which is vulnerable to interpersonal warfare, at an unconditional disadvantage.”

Ruin looked at the ruins towards the Knights Faculty.

“This is someone’s intention. Neglecting such irrationality must be the result of the influence of a high-ranking person, whether it be the head of the Faculty of Engineering or the dean of the academy.”

Volcan’s glowing eyes looked straight at Ruin.

“So you’re saying there’s some way to overturn this knight’s kingdom?”

There was no magic cadet here who was unaware of the irrational structure and ecology of the Royal Academy.

However, surprising words began to flow from Ruin, who was just a kid who didn’t know the reality.

“Professors who can’t handle Renciaga’s prestige. High-ranking executives who have grown accustomed to Renciaga’s bribery and favors. The cadets who are afraid of the patrons of the Rencia family.”

Ruin’s gaze pointed to the far south.

“All absurdities have only one starting point.”

Hirenciaga.

Right now, Ruin was defining them as enemies of the Faculty of Magic.

“We move the training time zone, save face by giving advance notice, and don’t cause conflict even by giving rewards. Is that the only way for juniors? Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

“… … what?”

“Since you asked about what happened after we entered the ruins cave, I have a question for you too.”

cold sunken eyes.

“After the seniors graduate, how do you plan to protect the juniors?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The senior magic students who have hardened without any answer.

Soon, Ruin’s declaration-like cry pierced their ears.

“To attack a castle, you need a magi. If you really want to serve the Faculty of Magic, you should use me as a magician.”

Volcan’s eyes flickered like crazy.

Irrationality rooted in the Royal Academy.

And the huge castle called Hirenciaga, the source of all such irrationality.

“no way! you!”

Ruin smiled silently.

Edentia shook her head with a tired face.

“Huh, this guy… … I had no intention of negotiating in the first place. I worked in vain for a week.”

“What? Have you been waiting for us for a week?”

Edentia smiled at the bewildered Severon.

“Well, if this is the way of the ‘King of Blades’, I’ll have to accept it. In fact, on the one hand, I can look forward to it.”

“… … Are you the master of blades?”

When the cadets with no rank looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

“I did not know? Cadet Yi Myeong, who was newly ranked 6th. That’s his nickname.”

Shiron’s mouth twitched slightly.

Daphne’s beautiful eyes also curved like a bow.

It was clear that Severon could not stand it either.

＜Hohoho!＞

Ruin’s face was rough.

Little by little, his shoulders tremble.

‘under… … .’

If the Sword Saint heard this, it would have been a joke for at least 3 years, no, 30 years.
