I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Chapter 209

“Oh, Hera. done?”

“For now.”

On the way back with the child after a walk. I was able to run into Hirawa in front of the lodging where I was staying.

“I’ve notified Nael, but it’s been banned for a long time, so I don’t know how many people will gather.”

In the meantime, Aindarok had contributed to Rongrult, so the punishment given to Aindarok was not too harsh, considering that he had occupied the imperial palace without permission.

Instead of only Coltman and the special mission team mobilized for the imperial palace occupation being imprisoned, nothing changed for the soldiers and wizards who remained in Aindarlock’s territory.

Still, he had to fill the vacancy of the lord, but no one can bite the vast land of Aindarok.

Initially, Coltman’s formerly independent sister, Nael’s mother, was singled out for the job.

However, she had a strong dislike for Coltman, and she, who originally lived in the south, the opposite of Aindaroch, refused, and the authority naturally passed to her daughter, Naiel.

“It will be fine. Because there were no air raids all along. There aren’t that many monsters.”

“So, are you leaving right now?”

“To do so.”

Before noon, we boarded the carriage and left the gateway city.

You will have to wait a day or so before the time scheduled on the log, but it’s good to have leeway.

During the free time, I practiced handling the power of the beginning. In fact, nothing much has changed since the moment he recovered the primordial power from Mad.

It was because it was natural, as if it had been used for a long time, even though the operation principle was completely different from that of magic. Is it because I am a fairy?

“I like Mashu because it’s cool even in summer.”

“They say they’re worried because it hasn’t rained lately.”

“Wouldn’t there come a day when even that could be solved with magic?”

“Wouldn’t that be difficult?”

For a while, Ainim and Hira passed the time by chatting lightly, but their words gradually decreased.

It seems that the two of them spoke less because they were considerate of me.

On the contrary, even if I want to say something, nothing comes to mind as if my head is empty. The closer the north is, the more so.

Then, Ai-nim suddenly touched his shoulder and spoke up.

“Locks.”

“yes?”

“Would you like a concave?”

“uh… … Don’t you have a plate?”

“there is.”

Hira took out a checkerboard from the space under the seat. Cards and dice were also visible at a glance. Didn’t I say that it wasn’t borrowed, but the Yuxilla family’s carriage?

“These days, it’s rarer that there aren’t any horse-drawn carriages. Even the horse-drawn carriage I rented has all the concave points.”

“To that extent?”

“Yes, it has spread a lot. What was only done in Rongrute quickly spread.”

It didn’t really appeal to me, but after being laid down to the black and white stones, I couldn’t say I wouldn’t do it now. Reluctantly, I picked up a stone.

“I think Your Highness will win unconditionally now.”

“I haven’t been in a while either. About two plates with my sister? It wasn’t fun because I just had to win.”

It was a natural result since it would have been impossible for Tania to outrun the already accustomed child.

After a long time, I showed my concentration and started to put the concave.

“Ah, if you put it there… … .”

But it didn’t last long.

In less than 50 moves, Hira, who was watching from the side, lost because of a stupid mistake that could easily be noticed.

“I lost.”

“Do it softly. You can make mistakes.”

“Because mistakes are skills. There is no excuse for lack of concentration in the battle of concentration.”

“Then again. Try to be on the same side as Hira this time.”

“I’m not used to it like you two… … .”

This time 2:1.

The rules of the game do not change the pros and cons of the game, but having one more person to think about is definitely a huge advantage.

It wasn’t as good as me or Ai-nim, but Hira had eyes to see to some extent, so the match continued with a tense one-step-back.

Seeing that the mold I was memorizing still came to mind gave me a sense of relief that my head was still intact.

Daeguk lost, of course. Since the number exceeded 100, I barely kept my pride.

The child picked up a stone one by one and asked.

“I used to say that I would win with a hundred. I remember?”

“Yes. The two of us lost, but we probably won’t win again.”

“… … .”

“You won, but why is your expression like that?”

The child made a bolmen sound.

“I didn’t want to win.”

“why?”

“Look at this. There’s no reason to do this anymore. I probably won’t do it again.”

“Wouldn’t there be someone better than me somewhere? Although there is no guarantee that we will defeat Your Highness… … .”

While Ainim stopped, I picked up the rest of the stones and put them back into the space under the seat along with the checkerboard.

I don’t know how time passed. After passing through Cotton and staying one more day, we arrived at Derun.

“It will be very cold.”

“okay? Is it cool now?”

Even in summer, the northern part of Mashu is only cool, but when you enter White Jade in earnest, it gets extremely cold because of Auril. I packed thick clothes for Ainim and Hira to wear.

“The work has just been completed.”

The last time I came, it was just being built, and the bare bones had been transformed into decent buildings.

The streets are still full of life, and the restaurants are crowded. As all sorts of up and down traffic were busy, even the most alleys were wide enough for horse-drawn carriages to come and go.

There was no need to find a separate lodging, there was a shelter prepared by the Yuxilla owned by the upper house.

“I hear Yuxilla is in charge of 20% of the logistics here, which is amazing.”

“It’s the first time I’ve come here in person. I didn’t know that a newly built city would be this big.”

The stay was not long.

Since he had no luggage, he planned to leave Derun early in the morning after only one night’s sleep.

‘I wonder if that guy is doing well.’

It was just about dawn.

Watching the small carts come and go reminds me of Jenny who broke up with Cotton. A girl of that age is going up alone, so she will be noticed everywhere.

If I wanted to hear the news, I would have known right away if I had asked at Cotton, but for some reason, I was scared and quit.

[Announcement of July 10, 1318]

[Report as soon as you find Euril Mashuhma.]

[Life officer.]

There is still an official letter from Keljian attached to a nearby poster. Auril still hasn’t been found.

“They say you won’t be able to go by horse-drawn carriage from here.”

Not long after leaving Derun, they even passed the colony of bluegrass. Because of the deep accumulated snow, the horse-drawn carriage could not go any further.

“It is very cold.”

“Can I have one more of this?”

“yes.”

Hwareuk!

It wasn’t any kind of hand warmer, it was a “fireball” to ask for another one.

Of course, I also had a [Fireball] made by Ai-sama, one on the front and the back.

“How far do I have to go?”

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Are you coming?”

rustle.

“Huh!”

It was the same as before. A small white fox made his way through the bushes and poked his head out abruptly. It’s not like the road has changed in a while, but it was also convenient to have a guide station.

“fox… … ?”

“Oh, he is very expensive.”

“You can’t catch it. I will show you the way.”

The group followed the fox for an hour in silence. The cracks in the branches and shrubs left some traces of my previous visits.

The entrance to the small crypt we arrived at. The fox slipped right in, and I immediately followed.

“I’ll go in first, so just follow me.”

“In such a small place?”

It is better to show rather than explain in words. I threw myself lightly.

Brea was sitting on the cave floor, holding the little fox she had just entered in her arms. By the looks of it, Brea’s condition was not good.

Brea looked up at me and opened her mouth.

“Earlier than expected… … .”

“Rox! Where are you! I can’t see!”

“Maybe it’s because Her Highness is burying her face in my back.”

“oh. Sorry, Hira!”

Ainim and Hira, who had fallen on the floor from behind, got up.

Did you follow me and jump in? I could have gone in a little slower. I expected you to accept it.

“You didn’t say you had to come alone, did you?”

“It won’t help.”

“Because they are friends.”

“Follow.”

Brea, who stood up, turned her back. I grabbed Ainim and Hira and raised them up and followed them.

“Who is it?”

“You look very much like Euril.”

“It’s a fairy. Perhaps Auril’s distant ancestor.”

“It’s like a llama.”

Ainim and Hira saw Brea for the first time, but they didn’t show interest in the two because they were blunt.

After walking for a while, I quickly got out of the cave and went out into the open field.

“Be careful.”

Whii profit!

The sky was dark, and there was a blizzard all around. The biting cold was a bonus.

Despite the fact that he was properly dressed, the wind that penetrated through the gaps in his collar was as cold as a cut.

‘I think it will work.’

I controlled the wind around the area and surrounded it. It wasn’t difficult.

Just as Will stopped the storm around the small boat in the Whirlwind Islands.

“Let’s gather this way.”

Eventually, I was able to create a small space where the snowstorm wouldn’t affect it.

“Is Euril in a place like this?”

“… … Quite frankly, it’s the opposite. It became this place because Auril was there.”

With every step he took, his thighs were covered in snow.

Even if Ai-nim tried to make a spark with magic, the temperature itself at which the flame could rise was not established, so it quickly went out.

And soon, something big appeared in the distance.

“I am trapped inside.”

A giant ice barrier.

It was as if looking at the northern wall, rising to a height so far away. It was so thick, even though it was transparent ice, I couldn’t see anything inside.

“Can I go inside?”

“I will open the way.”

When Brea put her hand on the block of ice, a small passage opened.

cheap!

A tremendous chill leaked from the inside through the open slit. It seemed that no matter how prepared I was, I would not be able to enter normally.

“I don’t think I can fit in here.”

“yes.”

“Be careful, Rox.”

Without the power of the beginning, there is no ability to endure this cold.

Leaving Ainim and Hira at Brea’s side, I walked lightly so that they wouldn’t worry.

How many minutes did they walk down the long passage surrounded by ice on all sides? Little by little, the inside of the ice began to show through.

“… … Auril.”

What bloomed in the blizzard was a large snowflake.

Euril was glaring at me with a growl, surrounded by beautiful buds of ice.

I walked slowly

Even though I was controlling the rushing wind as much as possible, a piece of ice brushed my cheek and cut the skin.

“Did you wait a long time?”

The moment I stretched out my hand with a smile, a flower bud in full bloom swallowed me.
