The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 51: Think about what you need for admission

Master Kunon. Id like to see the letter from the magic school!

Linco, who brought the letter, barked at Kunon who was comfortable.

Its the middle of summer, so the sun is shining and the temperature is high, making us sweat even without doing anything.

But under the shadowy parasol, buried in the temperature-controlled, cool-feeling super soft water ball, it was extremely comfortable.

Isnt it nice? Youd better get some work done.

Kunon was enjoying a moment of relaxation, reading, pondering, taking notes, and dozing off.

He was enjoying a moment of relaxation.

-Yes, Kunon is spending his time comfortably indeed.

In addition, the bed, made of super soft water ball, is slowly rotating.

It turns right.

You can turn right or left at will, depending on your mood at the time.

There is no reason to rotate it though.

This is a successful application of the fire-running technology I saw the other day.

It is better to rotate than not to rotate, so I rotate it.

Thats all.

In other words, this is just my mood.

We were in the garden of a rented house.

Its a small place for a member of the Marquis family, but since there are two of us living here, its just right.

The garden is not that big, just enough for Kunon to experiment with magic and for Linco to enjoy her hobby.

The location is good, and the school is nearby.

Kunon used his homemade sub-air mailbox letterbox to tell his family in the Kingdom of Huglia where he was located, and he also used this address to complete the formalities for the magic school.

Unless theres a good reason, Ill probably stay here until I graduate.

-Kunon, who has been living a life of self-indulgence lately, will soon find out that his feelings will soon be shaken.

Letter from the magic school?

When I asked Linco, who was cooling off her face pressing against the super soft water ball, she said, Yes, and held out a letter without looking up.

Is it an enrollment letter? Or is it an invitation for a date?

Ill be jealous if its an invitation.

Its okay. As long as its just the two of us in this house, Im all about Linco.

But as soon as we leave the house, that wont be the case. What a jerk, Kunon! The enemy of women!

The two of them laughed at each other.

Then Kunon laughed and used his magic power to open the letter that was closed with magic sealing wax. Linco stuck her face in the super soft water ball again.

He had already passed the exam, and school would be starting soon.

It must be an announcement about that.

Or an invitation for a date.

If it has information about what Ill need for school, Ill have to prepare for it now.

Hmm.

As I read it, the first letter is an acceptance letter.

This one is supposed to be complimented at home.

And this one is to be carried at all times.

The enclosed small metal plate has Kunons name engraved on it, along with a statement that proves he is a student at the magic school.

A student ID card.

Or, from now on, it will be Kunons ID card.

Hmm? What? Hmm?

The question was the second one.

Kunon was looking through the letter in a self-deprecating manner, but as he read on his blind eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Whats wrong?

Linko looks up from her cool water ball at Kunons reaction.

Hmm. Oh. Haha. Okay, I see!

Kunon was laughing.

This is how they do it in magic school! Nice! Thats not how I expected it to work!

There was no time to be bored anymore.

Kunon realized that his life at the magic school had just begun.

How much does House Gurion pay you now, Linco?

Its about the same as Kunons allowance.

What? One hundred and sixty thousand bucks? Are you kidding me? Is it that less?

Kunon has been spending a lot of money on magic since he was a little boy, and Iko has instilled in him a common sense of money. 

His sense of money is not that bad.

However, I am rather loyal to my desires and I do buy things on impulse.

Its a lie. I lied when you asked me about my income.. But, Kunon, employers who care about their servants wallets are not liked.

Normally I wouldnt ask. Thats the least I can do. Im asking because its no longer irrelevant.

Yes?

About two hundred thousand? Im pretty sure thats how much Iko got paid, plus various other benefits.

Ah Im not sure how much it is, but my salary is about forty-five thousand a month. I have a travel allowance, so my salary is quite high for a servant.

I see. Forty-five hundred thousand, huh?

Kunon thought about it.

A servant works hard for a month and earns a salary of forty-five thousand.

That is on the high side.

In other words

I dont think you can get that with a normal job.

Kunon mumbles to himself, but hes smiling happily.

Master Kunon, please explain. Otherwise, I am going to have to run away with the money from this house. Its quite disturbing. If you mess with my money, I really wont understand.

Hmm? Oh, okay. Actually -

Kunon said.

Apparently, its a rule that special classes have to earn their own living expenses.

What? Thats.

In other words, the school will stop sending money.

It seems that the school will only pay the rent, but I have to work to earn money for things like food and daily necessities.

Of course, Im obligated to pay the servants wages as well.

Yeah, I mean

I need to find a job where I can make a lot of money, like fifty to seventy thousand a month.

Thats what I meant.

I read again the second page of the letter, how I spent my time in the special class.

Its a bit rambling, but the summary is as follows:

Do not send or receive money from your parents, relatives, friends, or any other source.

The school will pay for the rent of your current residence, but other than that, you must live on the wages you earn from your own work. If you have a servant with you, you must also pay the salary yourself.

Access to school facilities is basically free, with the exception of off-limits areas.

It is recommended to wear robes so that you can be easily identified as a student of the school, but it is not absolutely necessary.

You are not allowed to carry your student ID when you go out. If you lose it, you will be punished severely.

If you have a problem, you can ask a teacher for help, but dont think that it will solve everything.

Forbidding the sending and receiving of money is something of a mess.

When I read out the main points, Linco gave me a subtle look.

Yes, I know. But Im sure its for the best.

Is that so? I dont understand why you would want somebody to work when he came to a magic school. Wouldnt that cut into your learning time?

Im talking about making time for that as well.

Kunon put the letter back in the envelope, keeping only the student ID.

My master used to say. Think about what youre going to use the magic for. You can start out with an idea, but you have to think about what you can do with it.

Magic is meaningless if you can only use it.

He told me to think about what I could do with it, how I could make it useful.

Thats what I meant.

In my case, it means that I should figure out a way to make money with magic.

If you dont need that much money for living expenses, then a normal job might be fine.

But if you need to earn enough money to pay for Lincos salary, then just working as a normal job is not enough at all.

Anyway, since Kunon was blind, it would be much more difficult for him to do a normal job without using magic.

Only a few more days until enrollment. Ill have to think about it.

His self-indulgent life was now coming to an unexpected end.

However, Kunon seems to be enjoying himself more now than he did earlier when he was living a self-indulgent life.
