Episode 38
[What kind of covenant was engraved in the circle that was forcibly created? No, what are you aiming for?]
The Master’s attitude, which had been suspicious of my regression and my actions, was gradually changing.
Honestly, it feels good to be asked questions so proactively.
“It’s insurance. Insurance for Ron here and my sister, who the Master has not seen yet.”
Ron’s spoon stopped in midair.
“master…….”
Ron’s voice trembles slightly.
It seemed like he had talked about something with the teacher earlier, but Ron had become strangely emotional since then.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m touched that you did something for me like that. I really do.”
“Okay. Oh, right. Ron.”
“yes?”
I pointed to the vampire brat who was still sucking my blood.
“I would like to enroll him in the academy. Is that possible?”
“… … I think you keep forgetting, but it’s me, your servant. Your Majesty.”
“He is a servant, very capable.”
I gave him a hot gaze, but Ron just turned his head slightly and avoided my gaze.
what.
“So, our capable servant Ron doesn’t know anything?”
Ron pretends not to hear and continues picking at the chicken.
Then there’s no choice.
“I guess I’ll have to take care of it myself.”
Ron looks at me with slightly tired eyes.
“… … You’re not trying to threaten anyone, are you?”
What about threats?
As I was laughing like that, our little one took his mouth off my collarbone and asked me.
“Boss. Am I going to school?”
“Okay, you go to school.”
“Really?”
“Kids should play like kids.”
The vampire kid’s talent is overwhelming.
Even though I haven’t even created a mana circle yet, the scent of mana is emanating from my entire body.
I set it at a minimum of 9 circles, but upon closer inspection, I found that this is a level that can achieve at least 10 circles.
And if he does well, I personally feel like this kid will grow to the point where he can use his soul mate.
But, quite obviously, not all of that can be achieved in a short period of time.
For now, I just plan to let him live like a kid his age.

“But, can I enter the academy…?”
The little boy’s voice was slightly quieter.
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
“… … Yes, I understand. I will do as you say.”
hmm.
I wonder if our little one is going through early puberty.
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. There’s no need to force yourself to go.”
The little boy waves his hand hurriedly.
“It’s not that I don’t want to go. It’s just that it feels a little sudden.”
Charlotte laughed quietly.
But, wipe the blood flowing from the corner of your mouth and smile.
I’m trying to be a little creepy.
I held the little one in my arms again.
Then, as if she had been waiting, Charlotte sinks her fangs into my collarbone again.
It hurts, but let’s just let it be.
Eat a lot to grow tall and healthy.
Okay, let’s think about it.
There are quite a few ways to get a student into the academy, as far as I know.
For example, by receiving a letter of recommendation from a famous and prestigious knight, or by having a family accept you as a sponsor.
And so on.
First of all, the two things I mentioned above can be used right away.
You can get a letter of recommendation from a strongman in the 7th Circle named Gonzales right now, or you can just sell the name of the Marquis.
The latter might be a hassle in the future, but I think Gonzalez’s letter of recommendation will sort everything out without going that far.
The only variable is our little one’s age.
Given the nature of the academy, which requires students to be 14 years old before enrolling, our little one, who is only about 10 years old, may be a bit of an obstacle.
I asked briefly and he said he was 11 years old.
but.
I’m not that worried.
If you don’t think it’s right, you can always try another method that you came up with.
By the way, didn’t Ron just ask that?
Are you trying to threaten someone?

Could it be that Ron is a clairvoyant?
I’ll end my pointless thoughts here.
To conclude, it is not difficult to enroll our little one in the academy.
And our little one will be attending the academy like most kids his age.

For the time being.
* * *
I didn’t know because I wasn’t very interested, but the investigation team consisted of a total of 17 people, including Ron.
Those soldiers, who are still glancing at me, flinch when I slightly turn my head.
This time, let’s look at them openly. Everyone turns their heads slightly.
Among them was Gonzales, who, from the looks of it, still seemed to not understand what had happened in that small temple earlier.
“theory.”
“Yes, your highness.”
I turned my head slightly and looked at Ron next to me.
“Can I ask you one favor?”
“Please speak, Your Majesty.”
“I want to leave all the work of the Marquis to Ron.”
Ron just kept his mouth shut.
Ron, who had been thinking about something for a moment, opens his mouth slightly as if he understood.
“You just want to worry about the academy… … Is that it?”
Honestly, it wasn’t in my plans to meet Ron in a city like Ascendible.
Will things like this continue to happen, where you’re concerned about the work of the author and the work of the academy?
It just makes things needlessly complicated.
There was a need to draw a line in advance.
“Looks like that guy Gonzalez isn’t as smart as I thought.”
“… … Oh, is that so?”
I’m not joking, I’m serious.
I don’t rate Gonzalez highly.
Seriously, I’m not joking, I think of you as some kind of throwaway chick.
That thought won’t change whether he becomes an 8th circle or a 9th circle.
Because someone who betrayed you once might betray you twice.
“I have a job for him to do, and I want Ron to take control of the whole thing.”
“Control?”
“I intend to cut off the Marquis’s hands and feet. Very, slowly.”
“If you mean hands and feet… …you mean the elders and the people of Count Mantis?”
As expected, Ron is quick-witted.
Ron slowly begins to think as he nods quietly.
Total control. And cut off the hands and feet… … .
“If we do that… … the young lady who remains in the Marquis’ household… … .”
Looking at Ron muttering softly, it seemed like he had come to a conclusion, but he still had a look of hesitation on his face, wondering if it was right.

So I added flesh to that conclusion.
“I wish my older sister would have had a little more difficulty.”
I gave Ron another pat on the back as he looked at me with slightly trembling eyes, as if to say, “Is that true?”
“There’s something you really need, sister.”
“What is that?”
“A moment of change.”
This is serious.
My older sister is too kind.
Because you are too kind, you need a chance to change.
Just like I did.
Oh, of course. I don’t want you to become a psychopath like me.
Just moderately.
In moderation, it’s okay to be a little vicious… … something like that.
So I’m thinking of making the pressure from the Marquis and the Mantis Counts a little stronger.
This world is one where good people cannot be happy.
anyway.
“Send Gonzalez to me every three to four months. That black shackle, if I don’t ‘recharge’ it, it’ll just burst.”
Ron looks at me with a serious expression.
“… … You’ve changed a lot, you’ve changed a lot.”
“What’s the big deal?”
Let’s smile, Rondo smiles too.
So I sent Ron away.
As I was walking towards the academy, my teacher spoke to me.
[You have good soldiers.]
He shook his head.
“I think the word ‘good person’ would be more appropriate than ‘soldier’.”
[A good person… … Not a bad expression.]
“Oh, I forgot to mention this. You are a good person, too, Master.”
The teacher’s eyes slightly sparkle.
Should I say that he is saying with his eyes that he is a really interesting guy?
I took my eyes off the teacher and turned my head towards the front.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the academy.
The huge gate in front of them was more magnificent and splendidly decorated than the walls of the Ascendant Territory.
A magical castle wall that turns golden when exposed to light, and turns silver at night.
“Wow… … .”
Looking at the massive castle walls, now bathed in gold, Charlotte lets out an exclamation of admiration.
“Boss, this is my first time seeing this wall up close.”
Advertisements
“Take a good look at it. This is where you’ll be going from now on.”
Charlotte smiles brightly.
After all, it’s nice to see children smiling.
I stood in front of the wall for a moment, lost in thought.
The National Academy of the Teslan Kingdom, also known as the realm within the realm.
Although it was not mentioned in detail, there are exactly five kingdoms and one empire in this western continent.
And in all those countries, there was an educational institution called an academy, although the names were different, and strangely enough, the systems were all similar.
That’s understandable, because the beginning of all academies began with this Tesla Academy right before my eyes.
It is natural for a latecomer to follow the system created by a pioneer.
I just turned my head and looked at the teacher sitting on my shoulder.
The Master’s gaze as he looked at the Academy with a strange look.
Even though it was a doll, I know what those eyes meant.
Emotions. Longing. And a little joy.
[Time has passed so quickly here, but it’s still the same.]
The feeling was clear, not of the current state of the Academy, but of the building and its exterior. The grand walls and the expansive park-like appearance beyond the gate.
If the Master knew what was inside, wouldn’t he burst out in rage?
“Are you happy?”
The teacher smiles faintly and nods.
I turned my head away without saying anything.
This academy was created when the ‘Teslan Empire’ was founded, and of course, its founder is known as ‘Julius Teslan’.
It is a reduced truth and a distorted truth.
He first suggested to make this academy for the first time, and he actually took charge of the design of the building, and even the person who decided to set the site was not the journal of Julius, but the Master next to me.
The purpose of the Academy is to nurture the roots of the nation.
That is, the roots of the Teslan nation itself began with the Master.
And, at the main gate of the academy, there is a monument inscribed with the names of sponsors who helped when the academy was first established.
Yes, this monument that I am looking at with my teacher right now.
The list here is honestly quite spectacular.
Starting with the ancestors of the two dukes who currently hold the title of duke in the Kingdom of Teslan, as well as the names of several families that have now fallen into ruin and are no longer found.
The number alone exceeds 100.
“Master.”
[Why are you calling?]
“I don’t like it.”
The teacher tilts his head.
[What are you talking about?]
“The name of the master who first proposed the establishment of this academy and even designed most of its buildings is not even on this ‘list of founders’.”
Literally, among all these names, there is no such thing as ‘Valentine Milos’.
At least they could have engraved names like ‘Valentine’ or ‘Milos’, but the fact that there aren’t even similar names means that they simply denied the existence of the Master.
I turned my head and stared blankly into the eyes of my teacher.

To me, the teacher says:
[Just because it’s not known doesn’t mean my actions disappear, right?]
This is the kind of person a teacher is.
A person who is not interested in fame or being known.
Just keep quiet.
A person who focused and took action only on creating the future.
I’m not saying this just because he’s my teacher, but really, our teacher is a great person.
Unlike me.
When I didn’t say anything, the teacher tapped my head with his long arm.
As if telling me to go in quickly.
I feel like Master’s expression of emotions has become a little more active after seeing me use the black shackle.
Really, just a little bit.
He smiled faintly and walked away.
