“Then what happens to me?”
“Hmm… Prince Ruid seems very angry this time, so it’s hard to just ignore it. “If things go well, you’ll probably end up being expelled… right?”
Phenicia spoke in embarrassment. Expelling a student is always a difficult decision.
“That’s…how could this be? Harsh.”
Klein’s eyes were watery.
I held Phenicia’s hand tightly.
“Well, Vice President Phenicia. How could it not? “I swear to heaven that I have not committed the shameless act of copying someone else’s test paper.”
“Uh, that’s… Student Klein.”
If Clifford was a man with a passionate heart, Phenicia was a realist.
-That top is a sleeping dragon. Don’t think about using it carelessly, and don’t go against your will. That guy is the one that helps me sleep the most.
Even if it weren’t for Clifford’s advice, Phenicia did not want to offend the Duke of Windsor, who had authority next to the emperor.
“Whether it is true or not, you should have accepted Prince Ruid’s objection. “It would have been better to cheat than to defy Confucius.”
“Ma, doesn’t that make sense? “I haven’t committed any crime, so how can I…!”
Phenicia smiled softly.
“Student Klein. I also know that a student was expelled from school in the past because a commoner stole his exam paper. It’s the same thing. “The facts don’t matter.”
That really doesn’t make sense. No way, Klein thought.
The gap between commoners and great nobles is large. However, they were the same great nobles, Minerva and Windsor. Although it was a small family compared to Windsor, Minerva was not in a position to suffer such unilateral injustice.
“…I won’t just let it go. Minerva will remember this.”
“Uh, um.”
Phenicia was embarrassed.
“…Did the academy seem easy?”
Phenicia scratched her head.
“It is not an Imperial Academy that will be shaken just by losing against Minerva. Please go back. Klein Minerva, you are expelled.”
I feel like my heart is falling. Klein barely spoke.
“Please at least open a disciplinary committee.”
“No, no.”
Phenicia smiled awkwardly and waved both hands.
“This is my opinion. Please direct your complaint to the Imperial Family, not the Academy. “It’s probably of no use.”
Klein immediately remembered something he had heard about Phenicia one day.
‘It’s better for Professor Phenicia to be president than President Clifford! ‘Professor Phenicia is nice!’
It wasn’t. Phenicia was much more decisive and cruel than Clifford.

Klein walked with a soulless expression. I stood in front of a mansion located in the center of the island. The employee quickly ran out to greet him.
“Yes, master. “Why at this hour…?”
The cleaning in the mansion hasn’t been completed yet. Klein smiled his usual gentle smile as if to reassure him.
“I came back a little early because I had work to do. “It’s okay to prepare a meal, so you can get some rest.”
‘As expected, he is a good person.’
Thinking so, the butler bowed his waist.
“Yes, I will be waiting, so please call me anytime.”
“I understand.”
Klein entered the mansion with a smile on his face. She smiled and greeted each and every maid passing by. The maids passed by with blushing faces.
The maids pass by. Klein changed in an instant. His face was grimacing like a demon.
He quickly headed to his room. I pulled the lever hidden between the bookshelves.
Kurrrr-
With a slight noise, the space leading to the basement opened. It was the road to Klein’s magic workshop.
“Damn, damn.”
Klein cursed and ran down the stairs.
“Ella! Ella!”
I called someone’s name loudly and looked around.
There, I saw Ella sitting at the desk looking haggard.
“Okay, Mr. Klein.”
“f*cking bitch!”
Wow!
“Aaaah!”
Klein slapped Ella on the cheek. Ella fell off the desk and rolled up like a beanworm. Soon, violence that could not be resisted broke out.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get caught! Do you know what happened to me because of you?”
Klein glared at Ella as if she were going to kill her. There were no more kicks, but Ella trembled slightly.
“This is how I repay the favor when something lowly has given me something!”
“sorry.”
Klein’s hands were shaking with anger. I wanted to kill him right away. It wasn’t difficult to kill this lowly bitch.
‘I can’t let all my efforts so far go to waste because of this bitch. Academy, if you ask your father well, things will be resolved somehow.’
However, I barely suppressed it, thinking about the possible disadvantage that might come.
“Get out now. “If you ever reveal anything that happened to me to anyone, I will have three generations exterminated.”
Ella stood up with difficulty, clutching her side.
And without hesitation, I fell to the floor.
“Please forgive me just this once. Mr. Klein.”
“….”
“please. “I will never, ever make any mistake again.”

Klein looked at Ella with disdain and pulled a string.
Gurgling.
The blank wall opened and a meadow was revealed.
It was an emergency passage leading to the back alleys of the island.
“go away. “Unless you want to die.”
“….”
Ella walked there limping.
**
Ella was a first-year student in the Imperial Academy’s Magic Department.
I was expelled as soon as I entered school.
I heard that a certain nobleman reported him.
I tried saying no, but it didn’t help. No one believed Ella.
It was Klein who reached out his hand at that time. He approached me pretending to be a well-mannered nobleman and said, holding out his hand.
-I have a workshop that I personally run. I’m looking for someone to work there. Are you interested in working there?
I was deceived by that kindness. No, even if she wasn’t fooled, Ella had no other choice.
Because I couldn’t just give up and go back to my hometown. She had to become a wizard.
Klein’s angelic smile turned into a devil from the moment he entered the workshop.
Every time he did something he didn’t like, he had to listen to all kinds of verbal abuse, and if he was in a bad mood, he had to endure countless violence.
However, Ella didn’t think it was that bad. Rather, he felt grateful that he had taken in someone who was nothing like him.
Klein was a person who committed violence every day, but at least he didn’t touch his body.
Even though he took away all the research that he had worked hard to achieve, he gave him plenty of money to send it back to his hometown.
Even this is a great thing for Ella, who is desperate.
But now that I’ve been kicked out of Klein’s workshop, I have nowhere to go.
‘Now, what should I do?’
She grew up in an ordinary commoner family. After discovering that she had a talent for magic, her parents worked hard to earn money and send her to the system.
My mother went out at night and came home in the morning, and my father was willing to do all kinds of dirty work to earn money. Still, I went around asking people to lend me money, but I ended up getting beaten up. My father is missing two fingers on his right hand.
You must succeed and return. That was Ella’s only mission. It was atonement for his parents who sacrificed everything for him.
but.
‘now I.’
finished. He was expelled from the academy, and his only connection to the club was cut off. I didn’t have the confidence to get through this situation. Moreover, to yourself…
-Ella, you are a dumber animal than livestock. It’s completely useless. Always live grateful to me for having you.
-How was it possible to pass the academy with such poor magical talent? They said he was generous to commoners, and that was true.
-Even if someone hadn’t reported your test anyway, the result would have been the same. Rather, it worked out well. Thanks to being expelled, I got to know my benefactor.
There was no talent.
“ah.”
My whole body throbs and hurts.
Hot tears flowed down my face.
I kept wiping my tears with my sleeve, but it wouldn’t stop.
Ella stopped walking. Looking to the side, I saw a lake beyond the bridge.
I’m not sure how deep it is, but it’s probably enough to sink your body.
She muttered with a blank expression.
“Shall I quit?”
Wouldn’t it be easier if I gave up? Ella felt a desire. It seemed so sweet.
Ella walked towards the bridge. It was the moment when I was about to climb on the railing.
“Isn’t it a waste?”
“…!”
A blond boy was sitting on a railing that had clearly not been there before.
The eyes shining softly in the moonlight were so dreamy that it felt like it wasn’t reality.
‘Is this a dream?’
Ella had that thought for a moment.
“To reach that level means you’ve practiced a lot.”
Ella never stopped studying magic. There were many books in Klein’s magic workshop. Even though it was slow, I kept going. I think it’s fortunate that commoners have access to such expensive books.
“Isn’t it unfair?”
‘…fairy? Is this something like a vision you see before you die?
I think I’ve seen it before. It is said that Mana has a will, and shows illusions whenever the wizard it has been with dies.
Ella thought that perhaps it was her magic that realized she was at the crossroads of death and created this mystery.
So Ella was able to talk comfortably.
“It’s unfair.”
“right?”
“Why was I the only one among so many students who was falsely accused? I’ve never done anything like cheating. The magic circle was perfect, but why did Klein react like that? “Why does this only happen to me?”
“….”
“Why did the fairy give me such a mediocre talent? A commoner like me… would have been happier farming.”
Ella said in a sad voice.
Ruid just stared.
Ella smiled.
“But I don’t hold any grudges. Thanks to you, I had a happy dream for a while. sorry. I don’t think it will work anymore. “Thank you for being with me all these years.”
“Do you think you’re unlucky?”
“….”
Ella hates luck. This means that it is decided regardless of one’s ability. I tried my best to deny it. But, now I can say it.
“yes.”
But the fairy denied it.
“no. “You’re lucky.”
“….”
Ella couldn’t agree.
“Because you met me. “It’s really not easy.”
The fairy came down from the railing. He looked up at Ella and held out his hand.
“My name is Louis Christopher Windsor. “I’m a professor at the Imperial Academy.”
“…yes?”
He was still holding out his hand. Ella instinctively took his hand. Unlike myself, I felt infinitely soft hands. It was the hand of a nobleman. And at that moment – Ella realizes that what she is seeing is not an illusion.
“From what I’ve seen since a while ago, you have talent. So this is not virginity. “It’s the result you deserve.”
“yes?”
Ella, who was very embarrassed, could only repeat the same words like a parrot.
“Ella. From today, you are my assistant.”
