I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Chapter 11

Episode 11

“A letter has arrived from the Isles, Your Excellency the Count.”

“Throw it away.”

“The sender is the young boy.”

“Bring it.”

The white-haired butler handed over the letter without moving an eyebrow.

The attitude of the head of the Aindarroch family, Coltman Aindarroch, was like that every time.

Depending on what came before or after it, it was certain that it would end or end, so it was a small entertainment for the old butler to occasionally delay a comment.

“jackanapes.”

It was a one-sided notice.

It’s probably already too late, but a notice to come back and not make things big anymore.

I didn’t send it hoping for a reply. If he was going to come back, it should have been Rockstrin’s body instead of a reply.

After receiving the letter, I found something even more absurd.

“This is something.”

“I checked it for forgery, but it is a proper seal.”

The envelope has the seal of the owner of Yuxilla.

A central politician who has no contact with Aindarok. They were the ones Coltman was known to be so disillusioned with.

Why did Yuxilla’s seal arrive at the territory with Aindarok’s sender attached?

Coltman touched his forehead.

“You must be tired.”

The method was clumsy, but I didn’t think it was stupid.

Perhaps the affection as a father covered his eyes.

Even if it rots, it is said to be Junchi.

Was even that hope in vain? It seems that he has been playing into the hands of a politician.

Coltman opened the letter roughly.

[My dear daughter.]

“… … ?”

I narrowed my eyes. It was a rare display of emotion for him.

[Sorry to give you bad news. All mines in the areas of Dempel, Cadecas and Fossoti were attacked and closed. The soldiers stationed there suffered a crushing defeat and had to pay compensation for 183 out of 191 contracts… … .]

‘What is this?’

Even if you check it once again, it is unmistakably Yuxilla’s seal.

It was undoubtedly a letter sent directly from Shilin Yuxilla, the head of the Yuxilla family, to his daughter, who was attending Summer Turge.

“What is the known situation of Yuxilla?”

“I heard that Dempel’s mine suffered a major blow, but other than that, it is said that the hired troops are enough to handle it. The foundation is still strong.”

“is it.”

It is false.

The truth was in these hands.

The fatal reality of Yuxilla, which is extremely private and should never be leaked outside.

I don’t know how stupid Rockstrin managed to get this letter, but if so, what was the intention of conveying it to himself?

It’s also very timely.

Tok. Tok. Tok.

Intermittently, his index finger tapped the desk. A thing that only two people should know: Bilgen, the butler who has been protecting the Aindarok family all his life, and himself.

It was never composed of a single sentence, so there was no plan to leak it out.

‘No way.’

It’s a leap.

Coltman dismissed it and put the letter down.

Remembering, the letter was intended to be destroyed by burning. But the content didn’t end there.

[Dear father.]

It was also written on the back.

Was the main point here? Coltman held the letter with both hands.

[I know you are busy with recent events, but could you lend me a little help?]

busy?

It’s obvious nonsense. Although some areas have been raided, this is the northern part of the empire, the Aindarroch Territory.

It is because there is no reason for Roxtrin, who grew up seeing the strength of her territory with her own eyes, to worry about the safety of this place.

‘But it’s not an impersonation.’

It was the beautiful handwriting of a rock screen that even a literary artist of the time would not dare to touch. No one dares to imitate this.

In a strange place, only the skillful Rockstrin can do it, so the person who wrote this is right.

[This is the first friend I made, but I made a big mistake.]

I heard that Yuxilla’s eldest daughter was admitted to Summer Turge, so it might have been a connection.

Yes, it’s worth looking at just one face. It’s been two weeks since Rocktrin entered the school.

However, it means that the guy who didn’t have a single penny of talent besides that, managed to seduce a descendant of a politician in that short time.

The fact that this absurd letter reached his hand is proof of that.

[If you have any remaining troops, please send me close support.]

By that time, Coltman had deepened his thoughts.

What is not busy is called busy.

There must be many families of distant kingdoms and empires in Summer Turge.

Of all of them, Yuxilla.

‘Close’ support.

Tok.

The moment he thought about it, the gestures that had been pounding on the desk stopped. Suddenly, the spine felt chilly.

“… … this guy.”

A letter with a lifeline from Yuxilla, who is said to be the lungs of the empire. Just three sentences scribbled on the back.

Eventually, it points to a conclusion.

‘I know.’

Rockstrin knows.

Her face, which always looked blank, and her childish self-righteousness of shutting herself in the corner of the room and not speaking a word to her father were also faults.

I just wanted to keep an eye on him to see if he would act as if he was wearing human skin.

-It wasn’t.

Even in that narrow corner of the room, it was already clear enough to be unfamiliar.

in your own head. the future of this continent.

“You’re a scary guy.”

Coltman, who carefully packed the letter in his arms, stood up.

Unfortunately, he is the son who gives advice to his father, and even gives orders. I was willing to listen to one.

Was that your first step?

good night. It was tough enough.

all right

If it was Aindarlock, it should be like that. Because that is the mission given to them.

“Bilgen.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

“Put off your schedule. There will be room for troops to be drawn up.”

In the aftermath of the extensive inland raid, the area around the northern barrier actually had less monsters and was able to afford it.

Although he tried to dissuade his vassal from going out to subjugate with a hundredfold courage, it was impossible to let the precious talented people drink the dust of the parade ground.

“Yes, to some extent… … .”

“Recruit a special unit, a company.”

“Is it official?”

“no. do it in extreme secrecy We will start tomorrow as soon as the sun rises.”

Magical corps exist in any country, and are usually formed in such a way that wizards intervene between formations of ordinary soldiers.

However, due to its danger, the northern part of the empire has a number of wizards that differ from other borders. Thanks to this, it became possible to use bizarre forces that would normally be impossible.

The Empire’s most powerful firepower unit, made entirely of 5-star or higher wizards.

That was the special lease.

“I’m going to Yuxilla.”

* * *

Three days have passed since the night raid.

Classes scheduled for the weekend disappeared, so I increased my training time first.

So today, the playground of Summer Turf is still dusty.

“Etch!”

sniff I wiped my nose with the sleeve of my shirt.

I ended up catching a cold after running around late at night and early in the morning. It is cold today, probably because of the cold weather. It will stay cold for a while.

Still, having an average physical ability is an area of strength. I had to endure it.

“That’s right.”

But the fifth lap didn’t last!

Compared to the past, when you would run out of exhaustion after just three turns, this was a huge leap forward.

The reference line was right in front of me, so I crawled on all fours and completed 50 laps. As a result.

[Stamina level up!]

[3 → 4]

“Whoa!”

I couldn’t speak because I was out of breath, but I let out something similar to cheers anyway.

Hell’s playground hops really worked. It was a splendid achievement that was accomplished in just over 15 days.

[Battle Details (▲)]

Strength Lv 3 Spirit Lv 3

Agility Lv 3 Wisdom Lv 3

Stamina Lv 4 Magic Lv 3

Level 4 stamina. Now I can speak out loud.

Above average!

From a common genius to a genius, about half of the fingers and half of the joints were removed.

Of course, the higher the level, the slower the growth rate. At level 5, it would take at least two months.

It was hard to get into the 2nd star of magic. Having accomplished this much, I should be rewarded with going to bed 30 minutes earlier today.

“… … Were you doing this every day?”

As I was wandering around, a voice mixed with sighs suddenly leaked from a distance.

I didn’t have the strength to get up, so I turned my head while lying down. For some reason, I felt my body tremble.

Euril was sitting on the steps, looking down at the playground.

Originally, he wasn’t the type to talk to others first, but there’s no way he could ignore his level 10 charm.

“Because it’s inconvenient when time overlaps.”

“Wounds?”

“It was fine.”

“I’m glad.”

And suddenly, the conversation stopped.

Should I keep my seat? Anyway, I had just finished my workout, so it didn’t matter. It seemed that Euril had overslept today.

I woke up wiping my sweaty hair. There’s a moving air conditioner here, so there’s no need to cool off.

It was the time when I was going up the stairs with those useless thoughts and was about to pass by Aulil.

“Why did you do that?”

“Why?”

“Why did you save me?”

Unexpectedly, Euril seems to have business with me. I haven’t met you since then.

“Isn’t that why Euril shouldn’t get hurt? Are you a princess?”

“why?”

“No, I didn’t do anything wrong—”

“why?”

The tone is soft enough to ask a persistent question, and the faces they sneak up on are just calm.

What if the truth is like that?

That said, you shouldn’t get hurt because you’ll need your strength later, and you weren’t going to tell me.

“I am naturally full of a sense of justice.”

“lie.”

“That’s right, kyaaa!”

I let out a cute little scream like a girl.

It was because Euril pressed down on my left forearm with a branch he picked up before he knew it. Euril’s expressionless eyebrows twitched at that time.

are you laughing now?

“Look. The wound isn’t even healed.”

“My dear, it will be better. It’s in full swing. Is it because you tied your shoelaces? Please be quiet.”

If you’re going to say that you knew, did you have to stab it? I grumbled and rubbed my forearm.

It was a deeper wound than I thought.

Ai’s judgment was correct. To be cured, I had to lie in the child’s bed at least until the sun went down that day.

Even with 3-star healing magic, half a day is barely enough to gain weight. Even now, the inside of the robe was still tightly bandaged.

It’s cold after the sweat cools down.

“Echwi!”

widely.

Startled by my sneeze, Euril reflexively took a step back.

Like a frightened kitten, it puts on a cowardly expression at times like this. I can’t even get angry.

Seeing that he also lost the tree branch he was holding, he seems to be quite conscious of the distance.

“I had a cold at first. It’s not because of the princess. really. This is not a lie.”

“… … .”

“That’s Aindar Locke. North.”

“Yes.”

“Because I am used to being cold. sniff sniff.”

Gee, it was no use trying to say it while sniffling. It’s not a good time to talk to Auril. I have to go back soon… … .

The moment I was thinking like that.

“this,”

I thought I shouldn’t miss it, so my eyes followed it by itself.

Squeak.

Euril undid the scarf he always wore around his neck. The hidden hair fell out.

The shiny silver hair flowed down like a waterfall.

“take it. It’s cold.”

It was only regrettable that the bright red scarf was suddenly put out in just a few seconds.

“What about Auril?”

“There is one more.”

Euril said as she slipped her hand under her thick clothes. The light blue scarf magically popped out.

‘It looks like Dora X Mong.’

Soon after, the sky-blue scarf wrapped around Auril’s neck again, but the chill that flowed out in that short time was nothing to ignore.

I already had goosebumps on my forearms. It’s really cold now.

“I’ll return it later.”

“You can just take it.”

“It will get warm soon. I have to go to that class, see you next time.”

I tied the scarf I was given and turned around.

I had to snort to keep from sniffing until Auril was far away.

* * *

“… … lie.”

Auril has good eyesight.

In general, beyond the level that can be called ‘good’, what is far away is reflected with a strangely clear and clear view in the circle’s eye.

Of course, it was clear to see that Rockstrin was moving from a distance, rubbing his forearms as if rubbing his hands against a fly. I think I heard chills.

It always has been.

Everyone around me was hurt and suffering.

The people I loved left one by one. Because there is nothing left of the royal family that is only a facade.

It was painful for young Euril to understand that it was natural.

By the time I threw myself into the cage of the wicked enemy, I already realized.

– It doesn’t change.

The kingdom is a weak country.

The lives of the people suffering from famine have not improved at all, and the royal family suffers from constant external pressure.

Auril just ran away.

‘Move.’
