Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

prom (5)

The summer air is cool. In particular, it is inevitable that the wind blowing at night is cooler than during the day when the heat rises.

At the same time, however, the temperature at night drops sharply compared to the daytime.

The wind blew in front of the veranda.

It wasn’t enough to harm my body, but the princess didn’t seem to be able to bear it.

She trembled and cling to me.

Light purple hair touches my clothes.

The princess looked up at me and said.

“De, don’t you want to go in?”

“Can’t you go in first?”

“If you leave your partner behind and come out first, good news will be circulating in the mouths of nobles.”

A cold wind blew past my face. It was cold enough that even a dead body could withstand it.

The princess can’t stand this. I don’t know why.

I’ll have to go in at once.

I looked up at the sky once. The twinkling stars in the night sky were awkward today.

I took a deep breath and pulled the princess towards me.

I can definitely feel her slightly cold skin.

“what?”

“Stay still.”

Use mana lightly. The mana that flows along the pulse flows out of my hand.

Soon, it becomes hot and warms the princess’ body.

The princess opened her eyes wide. He seemed confused by the sudden heat.

“I’ve warmed up for a while, but you better go inside.”

“Do you know how to use such magic?”

“It’s just fine art.”

I bluntly answered the princess’s question. She glanced at me once and moved.

I also followed her out of the veranda.

On the way back to the ballroom. At some point, the melody that filled the mansion stopped.

Nevertheless, the ballroom was noisy.

‘Someone has come.’

Isn’t that the end of the mood by now?

“The ballroom is noisy. It looks like someone has come to visit.”

“That’s it.”

The princess had the same thoughts as me. However, it was difficult to find out who had come.

[What is this?]

At that moment, Acius’ voice was heard.

She even said that it was a short while, and I spoke to myself at the embarrassment I felt in her tone of voice.

‘what happened.’

[There is a guy in this mansion with a similar energy to you. No, not exactly the same. Do you feel that he is more refined?]

‘Does he have the same energy as me?’

There is no way that Acius was wrong.

she is a dragon They are the most excellent race for sensing energy or looking at mana.

[okay. To be honest, it’s a little bit creepy. I captured the energy, captured it again, and put it under control.]

‘… … What is it?’

[Simply put. I should say that I don’t spill.]

‘You don’t spill?’

[Um, how do I explain this?]

Acius paused for a moment before continuing.

[Using magic inevitably consumes mana. There is mana that is used inefficiently.]

‘That’s how I feel. But isn’t that unavoidable?’

[I can’t help it. It is impossible to pursue perfect efficiency while drawing a magic circle. A certain amount of twist must also exist for the magic to work. Because that’s how your humans develop.]

‘Are you talking about the manifestation of magic?’

[okay. You must know that magic is a phenomenon that occurs when ‘mana’, a small particle distributed in the atmosphere, is arranged according to various laws.]

‘According to that law, it is divided into a chant or a magic circle.’

[right. The arrangement of humans sometimes follows a geometric formula, but sometimes it is expressed according to the wavelength of the soul.]

It is a well-known fact that magic is unstable depending on the person’s psychology.

What if you can’t control your mind and implement magic in a state of fear or embarrassment?

The magic doesn’t respond properly to the user.

In the first place, mana exists in the uncertainty of time and space. It is extremely difficult to tie it up in the air and implement it.

So there are few wizards.

immobility and equanimity.

Those two are the basics of a wizard.

[Anyway, in that respect. You humans are easily controlled by emotions. Unlike our dragons.]

Accius’ voice, explaining his emotions, is somewhat stagnant.

When I think of my lost emotions, I feel depressed.

I listened to her story, thinking that I should comfort her again the next time I visit her.

[By the way, the man in the ballroom right now is different. Although the total amount of mana is not much. I don’t spill anything.]

‘Does that mean there is no change in emotional state?’

[uh. It seems that there is probably no human being who can beat him in his mental state. You’re not like that guy either.]

‘Who the hell are you? .’

With that in mind, I stepped out into the ballroom.

And at the same time, his eyes widened.

The elegance you can feel just by looking at it. Gray hair and black eyes like mine.

In the cold gaze that sees the world. Statue-like features.

An overbearing force that even the most nobles could not easily approach.

let him open his mouth

Everyone’s eyes turned to his mouth.

“It’s easy.”

“… What are you doing here?”

I looked at the man cautiously.

The man I saw the most when I was possessed.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was placed in the highest place in this empire except for the imperial family.

“Did a father need a reason for coming to see his son?”

“… … .”

Catrel, Duke of Philasia.

He came into the ballroom looking for me.

**

moon crack.

The tea in the teacup goes down the throat.

No, to be honest, I don’t know if I’m going to pass.

I put down the teacup nervously.

Duke Katrell was staring intently at such a figure.

“So, really, why are you here?”

There is no one nearby. No one dares to overhear the duke’s and eldest son’s conversation.

“Didn’t you say Do you need a reason for a father to come to see his son?”

“You are not that kind of person.”

If you are a normal human, you can nod your head saying yes.

However, the duke in front of you is different.

‘You’re probably still putting me on the scales.’

The duke I have seen so far is not a person who will take care of him as the eldest son.

Rather, as a child, I wish I had raised him more harshly.

“I know you well.”

The duke sips the teacup and puts it down.

“The reason I took the time to visit you is because of all kinds of rumors.”

“Rumors… mean?”

“Yeah, it’s Lennock’s dungeon. Even if the rumors didn’t spread, what the hell is advanced demon subjugation?”

I laughed out loud. hahaha. That’s not what I have to say.

The duke glanced at my expression and continued.

“Occasionally, I had a connection with a saint, but now it’s even a princess. He also joined the club where the Crown Prince is there.”

I swallowed my saliva. All the rough actions I’ve ever done come out of the duke’s mouth.

“What the hell are you doing at the academy?”

As if falling on frosty ruins, the duke’s gaze turned to me.

It looks like they’ll expel me from the academy right away and take me to the duke’s house.

I swallowed my saliva and opened my mouth.

“I was just trying to live my own life.”

“Did you try to live?”

“The elixir is broken. My body is getting sick day by day, so I have to find a way to live.”

“… It wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t gone to the academy.”

“If I hadn’t come to the academy, I wouldn’t have been this healthy.”

The duke’s gaze passes over me. He checked my entire body and let out a short sigh.

“It’s definitely better than before.”

Fortunately, expulsion seems to have been avoided.

The Duke rummaged through his arms and pulled out a pocket watch.

It was a gold-plated watch, and clean magic was embodied throughout the watch.

How the hell is that?

“… Destiny is inevitable.”

“yes?”

“You resemble your mother.”

The duke left the place with an unknown word. There is an unknown sadness in his face.

As he left, I pondered what the duke had said.

Deron’s mother. I’ve never met her.

no in the first place. There is hardly any talk of Deron’s mother in social circles or elsewhere.

The son of a duke married a commoner woman.

That was the biggest information I could know.

**

as you leave the mansion. Catrel Phylasia looked at the place where Deron was once again.

He tried to manage his expression, but he couldn’t manage it well.

‘He looks just like Arwen.’

Arwen. Deron’s mother, who can no longer be found.

The look of Arwen was left on Deron’s face.

“Are you tormenting me by remaining like that even after you disappear?”

Catrel muttered to herself.

Every time I looked at Deron’s face, Arwen’s face came to mind.

to be honest. Catrel had no intention of breaking the elixir from Deron.

The son, who had the appearance of Arwen, had meaning in itself.

That’s why I told him not to go to the academy.

However, his son eventually went to the academy of his own choice.

Cartrel can’t refuse a request with Arwen’s face.

“Petra.”

“yes.”

A maid approaches Catrel’s side.

No, to be more precise, it could be said to be a living water.

The head of Wolyeong, who has been watching and protecting Deron for a long time.

Katrell looked down at her and said.

“The elixir that has been sent so far will remain the same.”

“yes. Everything is kept in my personal warehouse.”

“Send it to Deron little by little from now on.”

“Are you normal now?”

“okay. Killed all the bugs that bothered me.”

“All right.”

Petra bows her head and disappears. As the head of Wolyeong, he hid his presence as if he was there.

Cattrell opened the pocket watch he was holding in his hand.

There remains a picture of him and Arwen.

The silver hair and red eyes flowing down like a waterfall are particularly impressive.

Catrel looked at her picture with dim eyes and closed the pocket watch.

What was seen through the gap between the clock closing. A small red horn on Arwen’s head.
