EP.49 Enlightenment, and growth (5)
The Dean’s Office at Aplia Academy.
In the large dean’s office, there are no decorations on one wall. A river is projected on that pure white wall.
“·····.”
There are two middle-aged people watching the lecture.
They are two people standing in the gap between middle age and old age. Although there is little age difference between them, there is a big difference in their appearance.
I’m not saying it makes you look old.
It’s a question of hair thickness.
-I’ll leave it here.
The lecture, which lasted about an hour and a half, comes to an end. Roselle took off his glasses and pressed his fingers around his eyes for a moment. Aaron placed his hand on his empty forehead.
So for a moment.
Rossel, putting on his glasses again, opened his mouth.
“What do you think, Aaron?”
“·····.”
“We made other professors cancel classes… but didn’t we still get results commensurate with it? “I just let you know that I was fine.”
Aaron looked at Roselle in silence.
‘Are you okay? ‘That?’
I couldn’t think of any words to express what I was feeling right now. Aaron let out a long sigh.
“her···.”
A laugh came out from between my open mouth.
‘Is this class worth having six professors cancel?’
Aaron asks himself a question.
···Actually, Aaron doesn’t like comparing professors. Each subject he takes on is different. The teaching style is also different.
So, it’s foolish to compare them.
‘I’ve thought so…’
Rania van Trias.
Aaron thought about what the bold girl had lectured on. Summarize what you just saw with your own eyes.
‘Rune letters.’
The girl definitely had it covered.
And, as Aaron remembers, runes are not such an easy concept. Although it was included in the curriculum for third and senior grades, it only covers basic characters.
‘Because it’s too difficult. ‘Because it’s an in-depth process.’
There is a good reason why runes are not taught, even though they are the foundation of everything.
The process from spell language to runes, and from runes back to circuits, is extremely complex.
Not only are there very few people who can teach it, but it is also not something that young wizards who are just starting to learn magic can understand.
‘If you teach it half-heartedly, it will only lead to confusion. That’s why they don’t teach it at all.’
I can understand runes.
It’s something that can handle it.
This is only possible for seasoned magicians like Aaron and Rosell who have devoted decades to magic. Not only is it difficult to do, but it also requires an enormous amount of time.
That’s why I have doubts.
‘But, that kid has been dealt with.’
A girl of only about twenty years old dismantled the upper-level circuit using runes. The structure was explained and the process was shown to the students.
‘Did you say you were immersed in magic for ten years?’
Rossel said that that girl named Rania had been locked in a lab for ten years, studying only magic. Aaron had no idea what the research was about, but…
‘At least, it wouldn’t have been an ordinary method.’
I’m just guessing that way.
“·····.”
Aaron closed his eyes. Close your eyes and imagine what that girl’s class must have sounded like from the students’ point of view.
-Chara larak.
Dozens of circuits disintegrate in thin air.
Students would have witnessed the process of the circuit being dismantled into runes, and the runes back into language.
‘What impact will it have on students?’
The answer came quickly.
‘···Now that I’ve encountered a small part of the truth, I’ll be more motivated to study. You will be able to deal with magic from a completely new perspective.’
That will soon lead to growth.
The students saw.
The concept that underlies everything.
The students realized.
‘What’ they were using.
The enlightenment gained in this way is not one-sided.
It is not definitive either. Everything that has been accumulated so far is tied into one flow.
‘Stimulation.’
That flow will be a new stimulus for students.
which···.
‘That was the reason I forced Mana’s trading course into the curriculum.’
Aaron opened his eyes.
“hmm.”
There is a smile on his lips.
“Was it worth it?”

It’s a mischievous question.
Aaron looked at Roselle and opened his mouth.
“okay.”
For now, Aaron had no choice but to answer like this.
“It was worth it.”
2.
It’s mid-April, and the weather is slowly starting to get warmer.
Aplia, who was supposed to be busy preparing for midterm exams, had an untimely vacation.
A holiday of approximately ten days.
The students cheered, but Aplia’s working staff shed tears of blood.
This is the third short-term holiday in just one month. The first time was a public lecture, the second time was a terrorist incident, and this time, a group class was canceled by professors.
The curriculum is messed up, and the exam schedule is also messed up. As the scheduled event schedule has also been pushed back, the working staff are having a busy day.
-Work, documents, deadlines…
-Meeting… Huh? Are there more?
It is the responsibility of assistant professors to stay up all night on behalf of professors who have canceled classes. Unlike students who are excited about the holidays, most assistant professors spend their days like undead.
Of course, not everyone is like that.
I don’t know how he did it, but there is an assistant professor who finishes all his work on the first day of the holiday and enjoys the holiday with his students.
No one knows the name of the assistant professor.
Rania van Trias.
The girl at the center of the professors’ group cancellation of classes.
The assistant professors pondered that name, shedding bloody tears.
*
Noon on a spring day with languid sunlight.
Roselle is looking at the academic calendar.
However, it is not very focused.
“Huh, hit….”
The sound of laughter seeping into my ears.
“·····.”
Roselle glanced away.
I have a student who rolls around on the sofa during unseasonable holidays. The corners of her mouth are trembling, and she is stamping her feet, holding a book in her hands.
‘···A story about a wandering swordsman’s activities.’
These are familiar books.
Even Rosell knows where that book came from.
-what? Did you say you enjoyed reading it?
-yes! You know something! There was another wizard who understood the emotions inherent in this Muwahyeop…!
-I’ll lend you more!
These are all books that Aaron lent me.
“···Is it that much fun?”
“Ugh, write it. Yes, Master, would you like to read it too? “It’s really fun.”
“Those books don’t suit my taste.”
“It was fun…”
Muttering that, Raniel closed the book.
It seemed like he had read all the books he borrowed.
“Huh…”
She stretched and stood up. Gray hair follows her movements.
“Oh right.”
Raniel, who was sitting on the sofa with blank eyes, quickly turned his head.
“Master.”
“Why are you doing this, Raniel?”
“Why is it vacation this time? “Hasn’t it been a while since you took a break due to a terrorist incident?”
‘···Are you asking because you really don’t know?’
Roselle thought about it for a moment, but it seemed like the bastard disciple wouldn’t really know this.
“…I heard the professors canceled classes as a group.”
“is it so? What on earth is going on…’
It’s because of you.
Roselle muttered this to herself and closed the calendar.
“Raniel, do you have anything else to do today?”
“Um, yes. I don’t think there is one. “I read all the books I borrowed…”
“Then go change your clothes.”
“yes? “Why the clothes?”
Roselle stood up.
“Hasn’t it been a while since we ate out together? “It’s been a while since we went out to eat.”
“oh···.”
“Do you want to eat something? “I completed the class successfully, so if there is a store I want, let’s go there.”
Raniel smoothed his chin.
“Uhm…”
After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“Now that I think about it, there is one.”
3.
A cafe in the royal capital.
A window seat with plenty of sunlight.
“hmm···.”
Roselle looked at the food in front of her with a shocked expression. The menu is not strange. Rather, it is extremely ordinary.
‘Isn’t it just soup and bread?’
There is also a little cake left…
First of all, it is an ordinary brunch cafe.
Rather than a restaurant for meals, it was a restaurant where you could have a light breakfast and chat.
“···Are you really okay with this?”
“yes? I came because I wanted to eat something. “Are you okay, Master?”
“No, there’s nothing that can’t be done…”
Isn’t this the first time eating out?
As Rosell remembers, five years ago, whenever Raniel wanted to go out to eat, he always called for an expensive restaurant.
-Master lives there, right?
The disciple’s face was clearly visible as he said that and smiled. Although he looks very different now, Rossell clearly remembers his student smiling mischievously and pointing out restaurants that nobles would visit during events.
‘···But why is this happening all of a sudden?’
Roselle asked, smoothing her chin.
“Originally, if I said I would buy it for you, didn’t you always call an expensive store? “Why is it like an infant steak?”
Raniel smiled bitterly at that question.
“Well, I just miss things like this.”
“miss?”
“Once upon a time, after staying up all night at the Magic Tower, you would sometimes come to a brunch cafe like this with your teacher, right?”
“···It was like that.”
“I thought a lot at that time.”
Roselle looked at his student.
For some reason, he looked a little tired.
“I was on the battlefield for five years, I guess?”
“···yes.”
“On the battlefield, especially on the front line, you are drawing circuits without even a moment’s notice and beating demons to death, so it’s normal to get angry all night long.”
Raniel tears a corner of the bread.
I dipped it into the cooled soup.
“If you fight like that, the sun rises before you know it. “When the sun starts to rise, the demons also retreat.”
“·····.”
“The sun is rising over the horizon, but there is so much to clean up. We need to get rid of all the corpses so the damn shamans can’t do anything to them, and we need to clean up the messed up barriers. “The knights can do it, but it’s kind of hard to just play around with it.”
Put the soggy bread in your mouth.
“If you help the knights clean up like that, time goes by in time… and you have to prepare for the next fight. I don’t even have time to drink soup or anything like that. You have to stuff preserved food into your mouth and stand on the battlefield again. “Our party was a little busy.”
I’ve been playing around for two years.
I mutter like that.
“Then what do you mean?”
Raniel smiled while pursing his small mouth.
“Oh, I want to eat soft bread dipped in lukewarm soup. “I think about that often.”
“·····.”
“It’s even better to have a cup of coffee like this.”
Roselle smiled bitterly at the sight of his student lifting the coffee cup with an exaggerated hand gesture.
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, whatever. “I just remembered the king coming too.”
A leisurely cup of coffee.
Roselle seemed to understand why his student was obsessed with it and stopped by the cafe.
‘It’s okay, nothing special happened… but that’s what I said.’
Five years on the battlefield must have made you miss even these little things.
“···Let’s come here often from now on.”
“Oh, really?”
“Professors can come to work a little late anyway. “You and I both wake up early in the morning, so once or twice a week wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
“That’s nice.”
Raniel smiles happily.
“Uhmmm.”
After watching his disciple diligently chewing the bread with his small mouth for a while, Roselle suddenly opened his mouth.
“Oh, now that I think about it, they didn’t give me the assignment this time. “Is there any particular reason?”
“yes? Oh, the last time I observed a class, I went to Professor Charlotte’s class.”
“Know. “He is a popular professor among students.”
“Yes, the professor said that professors who give a lot of assignments are bad professors. “Assignments should be reduced to the minimum.”
“Hmm.”
Roselle smoothed her chin.
And then he answered briefly.
“It’s all nonsense.”
“yes?”
“You can give me some homework.”
Raniel tilted his head.
“···Students don’t like it when I give them assignments?”
“Even if you are hated, isn’t it a professor’s job to teach students at least one more thing?”
“Uh… Is that so?”
“Students are moderately nervous when there are a lot of assignments. Moreover, even if you don’t have to review separately, you will be reviewing while doing the assignment, which is good for the students.”
“Uh, um…”
To Raniel, who had a puzzled expression, Roselle spoke clearly.
“There has to be a task.”
Then he added:
“The more the better.”
“is that so?”
“Yes.”
‘If that’s the case, Master, then it must be like that.’
Raniel nodded.
A word from the author (author review)
This is an episode that feels like a short break before a new episode. I tried to serialize it yesterday too… but maybe it’s because I burned the previous part too much.
No matter what you use, there should be no malice in the sentences…
So, I ended up taking a day off yesterday.
sorry!
Still, I will stick to the series 5 days a week…!
