◈ Episode 220 Research Results (2)
“hey. did you hear I mean that.”
“know. You mean the research on the amount of mana released?”
“huh. Now that I know it, I heard that it’s real?”
Rumors spread that the research to increase the amount of mana discharge ended with a successful result.
Originally, no one should have known until the research results were announced.
The reason the incident spread to Seorn was because information was leaked from someone.
It was because, apart from the observers, there were people at the measurement station who saw the result of the increase in mana output right away.
I couldn’t completely stop someone with a light mouth from saying a word.
Those who went as observers would also testify about what they saw after they returned, so it was a set procedure anyway.
It was only pulled forward a little.
Upon hearing the news, students responded enthusiastically.
“Oh, if I knew this would happen, I would too!”
“No, why is this real?”
Students who did not apply for Ludger’s research shed bloody tears and regretted their choices in the past.
Of course, even with words, the judgment at that moment was definitely correct.
Because the purpose of the research itself was absurd to the point of being absurd.
But who knew that it would actually work?
However, it was too late to hit the ground in regret and regret.
Naturally, the students’ attention shifted to the other side.
If you haven’t been able to directly participate in Ludger’s own research, and you can’t ask if it’s possible again.
Wouldn’t it be better to ask the students who participated in it?
A total of 6 volunteers participated in the study.
I didn’t know if I could get information from only one of them.
But I didn’t approach anyone.
First of all, there were people who were impossible to talk to.
Flora Lumos, the daughter of Duke Lumos and a genius in the second year.
3rd Princess Erendir von Exillion.
Ulburg’s eldest son was Freuden Ulburg.
People with prominent families, and above all, people who don’t make friends with other people to the extreme.
If Erendir had heard of it, he would have been crying over why I was on that list, but most of the students in Seorn thought that way.
As a result, the main target was narrowed down to first graders.
Excluding Julia Plumheart, who was the first year’s senior but always hit the iron wall.
She usually responds with a smile when spoken to, but the unknown reluctance felt in that smile hasn’t bothered her since.
As a result, the most acceptable targets were Aidan and Linen.
“hi. Are you going to class right now?”
“uh?”
I was walking down a tree-lined street for class when students suddenly approached me calling Linen’s name.
Someone said it was a classmate in the same class.
The moment Riné saw her smiling at her, she felt nervous without realizing it.
You didn’t normally pay attention to me, but suddenly approached me pretending to be friendly.
Did he suddenly want to become friends?
‘No way.’
Rinne wasn’t so easygoing.
There must be a culprit behind the sudden change of attitude in a subject that has consistently ignored the fact that this side was taken by an aristocratic student.
And Line knew what those kids were aiming for.
“If it’s time for you… … .”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you the results of Dr. Rudger’s research.”
Line cut it off and refused.
There are things I don’t know too much about, but even if I did, I had no intention of telling them.
It’s not because you signed a confidentiality agreement.
Even without it, she would have kept it a secret.
Because you promised so
And because I didn’t want to betray the teacher.
The students, who were trying to target Line in the absence of Erendir, had no choice but to open their eyes at the knife-like refusal.
Enough then.
Line left only those words and passed the students who called her.
“what. You already got everything you got, right?”
“Oh, no luck.”
I tried to ignore the voice coming from behind me.
Rather, the eyes of other students who were interested in this side were sharp.
Now that rumors had already spread, they wanted to hear the secret to increasing the amount of magic discharge from Line.
‘Let’s go to the classroom… … .’
The moment Line’s steps were about to accelerate, someone blocked her path.
“Are you Linen from the first year?”
Looking at the name tag, it was a third-year student.
The number was three. Being nobles, they took a quick look at Rinne from head to toe and spoke in a high-handed tone.
“I have a story to tell. Follow me.”

“… … I don’t have one.”
It’s not a secret invitation, but a command to follow.
Line naturally took a step back, but the opponent didn’t want to tolerate it.
“Look at this guy. Are you talking back?”
“When am I?”
“I am not going to say a word. This is why commoners can’t do it. You can’t understand it if you don’t say it well and nicely.”
When did you say it was good?
Line was about to argue, but the other person strode forward.
Rinne was not taken aback, but instead glared at the opponent intensely.
The 3rd year noble didn’t like that.
“What are those eyes? How dare you open your eyes to the aristocrats of commoners?”
“What.”
“What? I can’t. I wonder if you can keep that attitude going after this.”
It was then.
A third person’s voice suddenly intervened.
“That makes me curious too.”
“what?”
Annoyed by the sudden interruption, the 3rd year noble glared at the source of the voice.
And when he saw the man standing there, he froze.
“Lou, Rudger Celish… … .”
“Are you calling the teacher’s name indiscriminately when it comes to students?”
The 3rd year aristocrats froze as if they hadn’t expected to meet Ludger in a place like this.
Rudger looked at the frightened Linen and the frozen 3rd years with a knife-like gaze.
It was easy to see how things were going without any explanation.
“To be in third grade, to be committing such acts from early in the morning. And many against one.”
“What are you talking about? We never did.”
“Never?”
“yes. We just talked to our junior here for a while.”
It ended up being an attempt anyway. If you catch it, it’s over.
‘What am I going to do then?’
The other two naturally nodded at the words that smirked and looked around.
“that’s right. The teacher misunderstood.”
“It’s just a joke, a joke.”
Rudgar narrowed his eyes at the sight.
“okay. Is it a joke?”
“yes. It’s a joke.”
“It’s a joke… … . good night.”
Rudgar released his mana.
Huge magic power flowed out of his body and spread gently around him.
“Huh!”
Huge mana pressure.
Sensing this, the complexions of the 3rd year nobles turned white like corpses.
“Da, why… … .”
“Why but. It’s a joke.”
“What a joke… … .”
“Isn’t this your favorite prank?”
The 3rd grader could not even respond to the growing pressure.
“That or something. He seemed so ridiculous that I would pass over a lie that even such a child would not be fooled by.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
“Since you’re nobles, you must have thought that I would just get over it if you treated it moderately.”
“Turn it off.”
“How foolish you are.”
Even in the suffocating situation, Line felt strangely relieved.
“How strange. I remember that I had never looked at my opponent as an aristocrat until now. If not, do I need to remind you of it right here and now?”
The 3rd year aristocrats went blank in their heads at the ferocious energy flowing from Ludger’s body.
I couldn’t think of an excuse to make, and my voice didn’t even come out.
All they were allowed to do was tremble like mice in front of a predator.
“Miss Rudger. Please stop there.”
It was then.
What Line reached out to dissuade Rudger from.
“It was just a minor misunderstanding.”
At those words, the pressure that had weighed down the 3rd year nobles disappeared as if they were washed away.
Ignoring the students who were barely out of breath, Ludger looked at Line.
She was looking up at me with clear, clear eyes.
It was no different from how she looked when she was innocent when she was very young.
“Really?”
“yes. Really. Do your seniors think so too?”
At those words, the 3rd graders who got the rope of salvation hurriedly nodded.
Of course, their drooling appearance was not normal for anyone to see.
“Lene. Now that you’ve said that, I won’t talk about this any more.”
“Thank you. teacher.”
“Even so, we don’t know the future. If anything happens later, come see me.”
Renee opened her eyes wide.
“yes?! It’s okay, it’s okay. Even if you don’t do that… … .”
“It must have been your will to participate in the research, but I cannot say that I am not responsible for getting into trouble because of that. As a teacher, it is natural.”
Rene opened her mouth at those words, then smiled briskly.
“Yes, teacher. I will definitely do that.”
“okay. I will be late for class. Follow me.”
“yes? Hey, those seniors?”
“Leave him alone, he will recover on his own.”
Rinne didn’t stand up for the seniors any more.
It was the other side that made the mistake first, and we can only see that it paid a fair price.
“Follow me… … .”
“You weren’t going to my class, were you?”
“Ah yes. It was.”
“So let’s go together.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Line thought her ears were wrong.
* * *
Aidan was also targeted by other students.
“Yes. Aidan. Have you ever eaten? Would you like to eat together?”
“Aidan! Would you like to go to the reading room with us?”
Aidan. Aidan. Aidan!
His name was called from all sides. It was the first time Aidan felt that having his name called a lot was such a dizzying thing.
At first, I was genuinely happy that I would make new friends, but my thoughts quickly changed.
“I guess everyone said that because they wanted to ask me about the research process.”
“Obviously. I haven’t had much contact with you until now, but I’m suddenly talking to you. Is there any other purpose other than that?”
“No, I thought it might be because I just wanted to get close all of a sudden. It’s a bit unfortunate.”
“… … Yes, you. What a flower garden your head is.”
Leo shook his head and sighed.
It was the same with Tacey.
Compared to other guys with dark hearts, Aidan is too pure white.
This is why I couldn’t leave it alone.
If Leo, Tacy, and Iona hadn’t come forward to stop the countless crowds a moment ago, Aidan, who had a good personality, would have accepted everyone’s questions one by one.
It was terrifying to even imagine.
“Aidan. just ignore everything They’re not talking to you because they like you anyway. It’s because there is something to aim for.”
“huh. I should. You guys got swept away because of me. Sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize. Do you think I wasn’t prepared for something like this when I was with you in the first place?”
It was a word that could come out only because there was such a firm belief (?) that you would definitely have an accident.
Aidan was deeply moved by that.
“thank you! every!”
“… … why are you impressed Isn’t that a compliment?”
Tacey replied curtly.
Even so, it was she who drove away those who approached Aidan more than anyone else like an angry cat.
In particular, when a female student approached, the reaction was the most intense, but Leo did not bother to point out that part.
Because it’s not because of her personality, I’ll desperately take her away.
What is important is the following.
The lecture time is right around the corner, so there is a lull right now.
But what about after class? I was already worried about how much it would come.
At that time, Iona said in a blunt tone.
“But I can understand the reaction of those children. Everyone wants to be strong.”
It was because the students who wanted to know how to learn from Aidan had to be unaware of it.
Leo and Tacey agreed on that. But still, there is a degree.
Tacy asked, running her fingers through the ends of her ponytail.
“so… … Aidan. Are those rumors true?”
“Is that a rumor?”
“The fact that you participated in Mr. Rudger’s research without our knowledge this time.”
“ah. sorry for that But I really want to try it.”
“it’s okay. We’re not trying to tell you something about the past, either? I’m not the kind of person who will listen to you dry anyway.”
“Ahaha.”
“The important thing is that the rumors spreading now, that is, whether Mr. Rudger’s research is true.”
“uh… … That’s true, as you’ve already seen other people’s reactions.”
“okay? It was like that too.”
“But I can tell you more than that… … .”
“it’s okay. If that’s it.”
uh?
Aidan, who thought he would ask something more, was dumbfounded by the unexpected answer.
Seeing that, Taysy lit her twin wicks.
“what. Did you really think that we would ask difficult questions because of our friendship?”
“Oh, no, that’s… … huh. sorry. I honestly knew that.”
“What do you see us as?”
“Sorry.”
“joy. I sincerely apologized, so I’ll let it go this time. Even if you want to talk anyway, you can’t.”
“That’s right. We have a confidentiality agreement.”
“That’s why I’m not asking because I don’t want to bother you. If the research is successful anyway, it will be announced later in the academic world. I’ll do whatever the results come out then. Well, those idiots who still keep an eye on us don’t seem to care about that at all.”
At those words, Aidan realized that his friends were very considerate of him.
Leo muttered.
“More than that, it is a series of real surprises. I haven’t been able to interpret the framework I received yet, but something keeps coming out. What the hell was Miss Rudger doing?”
At this point, he had to get used to being surprised, but he couldn’t do that especially with Rudger.
Something new should be appropriate.
If something surprising pops up like this over and over again, I’m afraid of what will come next.
‘It’s not like I’m an ordinary teacher.’
Doubts arose.
‘… … I really hate asking the Liberation Army about anything, but I’ll have to ask them to look into this anyway.’
Rudger Chelsea.
It seemed necessary to confirm his origin and family, and things like that.
At that time, the students sitting by the window on the hallway were whispering.
“Mr. Rudger is coming!”
The owner of this classroom and the party that is receiving the most attention right now.
At the word that he was coming, the students quietly took their seats.
Then, belatedly, the back door opened and Line entered.
At the same time, Rudgar opened the door and came in.
‘what. Why is he coming in now?’
Most of the students didn’t pay attention to Line because they only paid attention to Ludger’s appearance.
But Flora Lumos was different.
Perhaps it was because he had been conscious of it from before, he noticed that Linen had entered at the same timing as Ludger.
‘What now. Could it be that the two of you came together?’
