Chapter 100
“Amelia, you know.”
Time for maintenance after training.
Irina, who was sitting next to Amelia, immediately asked.
“Aren’t you thinking about becoming the head of the family?”
Irina spoke wittily and laughed.
Amelia, who was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, stopped.
“Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“Um…”
Irina opened her eyes and looked at Amelia.
A very, very pure face without any doubt. I could see clear eyes with no negativity at all.
‘As expected, he’s naive.’
“just? You’re curious. “Me too, sometimes I think about what it would be like to become the head of the Kairos family.”
“I heard you gave up on your own.”
“Hehe, don’t be a mean older sister who fights with your younger brother. Well, actually, I don’t think it would be much fun to become the head of the family.”
“Becoming the head of a family is not something you can do based on your own interests.”
“Amelia, it’s too hard.”
Irina cried out and hugged Amelia’s arm. Amelia waved her hands wildly.
“Put this down.”
After a brief scuffle, Irina, who looked like a demolition head, fell.
Amelia sighed and looked up at the sky.
“I think like that sometimes too.”
“Amelia?”
Irina asked with interest. Amelia made eye contact and nodded.
“Because I am also human. The people of the Duchy of Windsor are warm. Regardless of nobles or commoners. But… honestly, the territory is not a land where people can live.”
“Hey, I heard you received a new territory this time.”
“Only one of the many problems of the Duchy of Windsor has been solved. The location itself is not good. So when I look at things like that… I often wonder what choice I would have made if I were the head of the family.”
“Is that the end?”
Irina tilted her head.
“yes. My sister is someone you cannot dare to touch. “We must stop at the level of dreaming of the ideal.”
Irina raised one finger.
“But just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you can run your territory well.”
“I never said that my sister was just strong.”
“huh?”
In fact, there was a reason why the succession structure was solidified as Irene Windsor.
“…Irene has the power to attract people. Even if you don’t tell them to follow you, they will bow their heads on their own. “The presence itself that commands the audience is on a different level than mine.”
Irina had never met Irene Windsor.
‘I’m curious. ‘How long is it?’
All I knew about Irene Windsor was what I heard from someone.
Irina just threw it away as if she didn’t think anything of it.
“The method of controlling others by inciting fear is bound to break one day. Irene Windsor’s method will be very effective in the short term, but there will be side effects here and there. Rather, I think Amelia has excellent qualities as the head of the family…”
“Sir Irina.”
It felt like the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees.
Irina actually felt cold. Goosebumps appeared on my arms.
Amelia said with a cold gaze.
“Please do not cross the line.”
Amelia got up and walked somewhere as if she had nothing more to say.
Irina looked at the back for a long time.
“Irene Windsor’s network of people seems to be stronger than I thought. “You kill people like that, but are you kind to your own family?”
The corners of Irina’s mouth gently rose.
“I’m jealous.”
**
The divide between commoners and nobles is deep.
Direct disputes tended to disappear due to the penalty point system, but that did not mean that the relationship was resolved.
Nobles gather in the Expert class, and commoners gather in the Common class.
It was a form of drawing an implicit line and not violating it.
“I’m making something strange again.”
“Don’t you think the academy changes quite often these days?”
“That’s also to the nobles’ advantage. Suddenly, you are the representative of the students. “What kind of equality is this?”
Commoners whispered as they looked at the poster posted in front of the common class.
“Shall we protest?”
“Let’s ask Justin.”
“Justin it’s training time now. “What about Lady Catherine?”
“Lady Catherine will also be with Justin?”
“Hey. Do you really have to ask them? Protest is free. Until you graduate from the Academy, you must make the most of the rules established by His Majesty the First Emperor. “If not now, when are you going to confront the nobleman?”
“Hey guys! Gather together! Let’s all go together! “If the commoners scatter, they die!”
As always, loud-voiced commoners started the agitation and the majority of commoners agreed – but
not everyone agreed with them.
Some commoners no longer wanted to fight with nobles, and there were quite a few students who wanted to study magic.
‘I have to do my homework.’
A commoner student wearing a very old uniform was one of them.
Her name is Asha.
He is an ordinary student in the ‘Common Class’, a group of people with common talents.
And she was being bullied.
“I-I have homework… to do.”
Coincidentally, Asha’s little remark had bad timing.
This is because it was done when the commotion had died down. Everyone had to hear Asha’s small voice.
The atmosphere immediately became cold. Hannah stood in front of Asha with her arms crossed. He said with a venomous expression.
“Why do you keep saying that? “Everyone is working hard together, but you’re always second-guessing?”
“I’m sorry.”
Asha lowered her head.
She had a very timid personality.
The words I had been thinking strongly about just now suddenly came out as if I was talking to myself.
I never imagined anyone would react.
“hey.”
Hannah tapped Asha on the shoulder.
“I didn’t ask that. tell me why “Why are you scattering ashes if you can’t help?”
“Well, that is.”
“Ha, it’s so fucking frustrating.”
“…If I don’t do my homework, it’s at risk.”
“what? I can not hear well.”
Hannah frowned and put her ear to her ear.
“Now, you have to get a scholarship.”
“ah.”
Hannah sneered.
“That’s right. I didn’t even think about it. “There are people like you at the Imperial Academy, where only the most talented people in the empire gather.”
“…!”
Commoners were not all commoners.
Most of them are wealthy commoners who are no different from semi-nobles. There were mainly children at the top.
The academy’s tuition is very expensive.
Fortunately, there were good scholarships, so as long as I got above average grades, I could get full tuition waiver.
However, the system is expensive.
It was not enough to provide various experimental materials.
If you are exceptional, you will receive enough support to be able to comfortably attend the academy…
but unfortunately, Asha was not able to do that.
“How on earth can a worthless kid like you get into the academy? It’s people like you that make the nobles look down on the commoners. know?”
“….”
“There is no answer to this. hey.”
Hannah pushed Asha.
It wasn’t a very strong push. However, Asha caught on the chin and fell.
When I fell, my clothes got caught on the desk –
boom.
…The line from the chest to the elbows was completely torn, revealing the underwear.
Asha, who had no money, was wearing an old uniform that could have been worn by several people, and the old uniform was easily torn by even the slightest impact.
“iced coffee.”
Tears welled up in Asha’s eyes. I crouched down, holding on to my torn clothes.
Hannah was a little embarrassed when she saw that.
“Fuhahaha!”
“I thought it was breathtaking every time I saw it. “Especially the chest area.”
“If you carry around such an ignorant lump, where in the world is the right size? “It looks good.”
“Oh my god, how poor do you have to be to not even be able to buy a uniform? Poor.”
A few thoughtless commoners laughed at Asha.
Hannah’s eyes wavered. She didn’t know what to do.
“Well, that is.”
Asha struggled to get up and smiled.
“ha ha ha. I’m fine. I just need to sew it. Wow, it’s usually so good… it’s torn.”
Asha spoke as casually as possible.
She didn’t want to be hated by anyone.
He lowered his head, covered his chest, and quickly ran out of the classroom.
**
Even though we moved to a place with few people, Asha’s tears showed no signs of stopping.
“Ugh, huh. “Someone says that because they want to be poor…”
Commoners envy nobles.
However, Asha envied commoners who could envy nobles.
At least it means you don’t have to envy fellow commoners.
But even in the midst of this, Asha-
‘I barely found a uniform that fits. What should I do now? There’s no way to save it.’
I was worried about the uniform.
I was so sad about my situation that the tears flowed even more. It was when I was wiping away the tears that were flowing continuously.
Rustling –
I felt a buzz. Asha quickly stood up. I covered my chest and walked away.
“hi.”
“!”
A young child who was only up to his navel was looking up at him.
I immediately realized that Asha was not just a child.
That’s right, he was a kid you couldn’t recognize if you went to the academy.
Louis Christopher Windsor.
The youngest member of the Windsor family, a genius wizard, and Professor Choi Yeon-soo.
A person who, unlike himself, attracts everyone’s attention just by walking around.
“name.”
“…yes?”
Asha, dumbfounded, said in embarrassment.
I soon realized that people were curious about my name and spoke hurriedly.
“Ah, it’s Asha.”
“Nice to meet you, Asha.”
“Well, nice to meet you.”
Ruid held out his hand.
Asha just stared blankly.
‘Are you sure you want to shake hands? Well, that can’t be possible. The hands of a dirty commoner like me…’
But Ruid’s hand did not go down.
It seemed more rude to refuse.
Asha couldn’t help but join hands.
It was a very soft and small hand.
Ruid waved his hand and said.
“Do you want to join the student council?”
“…yes. yes yes? to?”
Asha went limp while riding.
Ruid spoke without change.
“no?”
“I’m like that…”
“Do it.”
“yes yes?”
“If you want to do it, do it.”
“Yes, yes!”
“huh. You are a clerk from today. “Come to the main building tomorrow.”
After saying that, Ruid quickly walked away.
But I stopped walking not far. I turned around and walked towards Asha.
A black space appeared in the air, and Ruid’s hand went into it.
I rummaged around a few times and pulled out something.
“Wear this.”
“…!”
Through his powers, Ruid put a robe with the ‘Duke of Windsor’ emblem on Asha.
It was a robe large enough to cover Asha’s torn blouse top.
“I’m lending it. “Pay back in 50 years.”
Only then did Ruid disappear, as if he was satisfied. This time I didn’t turn around.
Asha looked at Luid’s back with a blank face for a long time, then looked at his warm hands.
“Is this a dream?”
The robe draped over her shoulders was very soft and warm.
**
“Is it somehow resolved?”
The final piece was completed by adding commoners to the student council.
Damon may be competent, but he seems to be bad at dealing with people.
‘…Isn’t that what I’m saying?’
Anyway, as a bonus, I also saved a poor kid.
Now all that was left for Ruid to do was to relax comfortably.
Ruid returned to the professor’s office with light steps.
Fox cushion, I was reluctant at first out of pride, but now I really like it.
Let’s lie down there, eat a snack, and sleep.
Squeak.
Ruid opened the door to the professor’s office.
“…what is this.”
It was quite different from his usual appearance.
The walls are covered with teratological patterns.
Magic circles and complex formulas were lined up without any gaps, shining in orange light.
The color of this magical power is Ella’s.
At that moment, a memory from the past appeared in my mind.
-What kind of research should I do?
-Research on immortality?
“No way.”
Boy, were you seriously doing that?
I hurriedly opened the door to the workshop and entered.
It was the same here too. dark room. The only light coming through was the magic formulas.
“Ah, Professor!”
Ella was sitting in Ruid’s seat.
Ella smiled brightly as she looked at Ruid.
‘…blood?’
There was a red liquid floating in the air on the desk, and it was lumped together like slime.
‘More than that, why is he like this?’
Ella’s entire body was wet with sweat, and her complexion was haggard, as if she hadn’t slept for several days.
However, a red blush appeared on his cheeks.
His expression was also very bright. More than bright, he was excited.
She got up from her seat, strode over, bowed, and spoke with a crazy smile.
“The research you mentioned was almost completed.”
