Episode 49
Chapter 1
There is a rather interesting tradition in the Ascendant Territory.
To be exact, it should be called a custom.
The Ascendant Estate always has fireworks two or three days before the Academy opens.
Twice a year, to be exact.
The dates are March and August.
The word custom was quite appropriate, as it carried the meaning of blessing new students entering the Academy and current students starting a new semester.
In fact, no matter what, the Academy’s status is still high.
To be exact, the phase cannot be low.
Because more than 99% of those holding important positions in the Teslan Kingdom are graduates of the Academy.
The King is also a graduate of the Teslan Academy, the two Dukes are also graduates of the Academy, and furthermore, the Queen, the Princess, etc.
They are all from the academy.
All of those sitting in the central positions of the country are from the academy, so how can their status be low?
At least in the Teslan Kingdom, being a Teslan Academy graduate means that your path to success is wide open.
There is one problem here.
That phase’s shelf life is running out.
‘About 4 years? 5 years? Is that all left?’
According to the original history, after that much time has passed, the name Teslan will no longer be found on this continent.
Oh my, kids.
I hope it gets over quickly.
I crossed my legs slightly.
In the heart of the city.
As I was sitting on the terrace of a three-story restaurant, waiting for the fireworks to start soon, I overheard my teacher, who was sitting on my shoulder, quietly mutter.
[It’s rotten.]
I felt a prickle inside.
Did I just blurt out my thoughts?
My head is spinning.
Sometimes, among the protagonists of novels, there are those who are like fools who talk to themselves like that… … Maybe I did that.
no way.
No, I don’t think so.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask.
“Me?”
[No, not you.]
Well, the subject of what the Master is talking about as rotten is obvious.
“Are you talking about the Academy?”
[Assault within the academy. Even though it is vacation time, we have to catch those who can. I wonder what the professors who should be nurturing the roots of the nation are doing and why the inspection team exists.]
The Academy is not your typical school.

Fighting between students? Assault?
If you look at this from a general perspective, it would be a huge mistake.
In the Academy, commoners and nobles live together.
No matter how good the background is, in the end, children are still children, and because they are young, fights sometimes arise for trivial reasons.
However, since they are children who know enough to know, the children of nobles tend to refrain from fighting among themselves as much as possible.
No matter what the situation is, things could get worse as a fight between families.
But the story is different for commoners and nobles.
Should we call it a relationship between A and B?
Unless you have incredible talent among the commoners, say, talent like mine, you will eventually end up becoming a subordinate of the nobles.
Because that is the current system of this society.
That’s why commoners are always the weaker class within the academy, and are always the targets of bullying.
You could tell just by looking at Thanos.
Could it be that the teacher who founded the academy was not aware of such a situation?
No way.
When the Academy was founded, the Master first thought of the worst things that could happen within the Academy and came up with a solution to that problem.
The inspection team that supervises the internal discipline of students and the sentences in Article 1, Paragraph 1 of the Academy Special Law that states, “All students within the Academy are equal in status” and Article 1, Paragraph 2 that “The Academy’s faculty must be politically neutral” were created in this way.
But are things in this world as easy as we think?
“Ideologies become distorted over time, and the results are ultimately created by those who remain.”
The inspection team is largely comprised of students.
However, students in the inspection team are treated as equivalent to assistant instructors in form, and the head of the inspection team is treated as the dean of a department.
Although there were initially a few people selected to be part of the inspection team, it has now become a nominal organization.
Professor, instructor, assistant instructor.
Because they wouldn’t be able to stand by and watch that happen.
That’s why there aren’t a single student in the Academy who belongs to the Inspectorate at the moment.
Also, a neutral faculty?
Of course, this cannot be kept either.
Even if it is stipulated by special law, there is too much room for distortion.
Given the current state of affairs in the kingdom and the continent, is political neutrality even possible?
Here’s a simple example.

Wizards are expected to belong to a group called the Magic Tower, which is formally under the command of the kingdom.
If so, this is a bit of an exaggeration, meaning that the professors of the Faculty of Magic are pro-royalists in name only.
So, it wasn’t a problem for our master to use his own servant, Bluetooth, as his assistant instructor.
And as far as I know, within two years from now, the Academy Special Act will be completely revised.
It may seem like I’m putting a bit of a dent in my own face, but the funny thing is, the reason for the revision is because of me.
Many people, including me, started following the trick of not participating in class and only showing up for tests to avoid being expelled, which eventually led to a revision.

It was probably around that time that I was forced to attend class.
Anyway, in the end, whether it’s an ideology or an idea, everything will be forgotten over time.
The teacher lets out a short breath at my insignificant words.
Then he changed the subject.
[But, it seems like you have a few things you’re hiding from me.]
“Me?”
[Dragon’s blood, dragon’s bones. And the Tulcan Empire.]
I ended up scratching my head.
“Shall I tell you? It might be a long story.”
The teacher stared at me blankly for a moment and then shook his head.
I just stared blankly at that teacher.
Then the teacher chuckled and tapped my head with his small hand.
I, too, ended up chuckling.
Phew! Phew!
And so the fireworks began.
All around, strangely familiar academy students are laughing and clapping with their families, filling their bellies with snacks in their hands.
Festivals are places where many people gather, regardless of gender or age, and new encounters also occur there.
In one corner, strange men who look like swallows are flirting with women, and on the first floor below the terrace, the clear and cheerful voices of women can be heard talking about how nice a man’s body is.
I turned my head slightly and saw some drunk people fighting loudly in the alley on the right.
ah.
What a peaceful world this is.
It was when I was taking a sip of tomato juice in my hand while taking in the surroundings.
“Boss, how are you so good at fighting?”
Our little vampire asked a rather unexpected question.
Hmm. What should I say?
It doesn’t seem like the kind of conversation you should have while watching fireworks explode right before your eyes and the chaos unfolding around you.
But since you asked, I have to answer.
“Just fight a lot and kill a lot.”
“Ah… … Boss, did you kill a lot of people?”
Did he only kill people?
As I listened to the strangely sentimental words of the little boy, I looked at the teacher next to me out of habit.
I don’t mean to brag, but I have to tell you the truth.
“Oh my god, he killed me.”
The teacher looks at me with a strange look.
And next to him, a little boy gropes and asks.
“Is it true that you came from the future…?”
I didn’t bother to hide the fact that I had regressed.

When you meet the Fire Ant Mercenaries, tell them what will happen in the future and whether or not dragons really exist.
Clearly I acted as if I knew the future.
The reason is, as I said before, there is no reason to hide it.
What if the rest of the world finds out?
So what do you want me to do?
If they bother you, just kill them or get rid of them as soon as they come.
I have no intention of caring about anyone else’s opinion except my teacher.
It’s strange to see.
I was standing on top of this world.
And now I’m standing on top of the world.
It goes without saying that the little one has been living with me by my side all this time.
From the flow of the conversation, the kid cannot help but know that I am from the future.
But if you ask this, it means you want a definitive answer, right?
Well, it’s obvious what I’m going to say in this situation.
“I came from a world exactly 20 years in the future.”
“Ah… … I, by any chance, was I… … alive back then?”
It’s strange.
I should say it feels like deja vu.
I’m sure I’ve had a similar conversation before… …maybe with Ron?
At that time, I said that I had died screaming.
hmm.
“Should I be honest with you?”
“yes.”
“I’ve never seen you before in this life. I’ve been to the Academy for about three years, and during those three years, I hardly ever went out. Even so, sometimes. Really, sometimes I’ve wandered around the city, but I’ve never seen you then, not even once. To be exact, I’ve never seen a vampire outside of the Forest of Demons. That’s all. Do you know what I mean?”
In her previous life, Charlotte died.
After Vivienne’s death, Balactus came to Charlotte’s house as if he had been waiting for her.
When asked why, the guy answered confidently.
He said he came to kill Charlotte.
No matter how capricious he may be, the Kingdom of Teslan and the Forest of Demons are currently at war.
In that situation, it makes no sense to be away for a long time.
I’m pretty sure Charlotte died in her past life.
And that too at the age of just over 10.
By the way.
“Why are you suddenly curious about that?”
Charlotte started fidgeting with her fingers.

After spending a few days with him, I realized that my little one has a habit of wiggling his fingers when he needs to ask for a favor.
I laughed so hard at first.
I used to hug the little boy very affectionately when he asked for things that didn’t need to be asked, like whether he could sit on a chair, eat, or sleep.
Now that habit has come back again.
What on earth is our little one asking for?
“Hey, boss.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“I want to be good at fighting.”
ah.
hmm.
Actually, I had a little guess.
Charlotte watched me fight so far, amazed at every moment.
I can’t say it with my own mouth, but what can I do when I see those feelings?
And Charlotte is a child with a painful past.
The will to change and do something about one’s helpless self.
I know what it is like.
I was thinking of delaying that time a little if possible, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if it turns out like this.
“Then let’s start right away tomorrow.”
“yes?”
Charlotte’s double-lidded, thick pupils opened wide.
“What are you so surprised about? You want to be good at fighting? Let’s start tomorrow. First, we need to make a mana heart and figure out whether your body is suitable for fighting or magic… … Hmm. There’s a lot to do tomorrow, right?”
Let’s smile brightly, just like Charlotte used to show me.
Our Charlotte, do whatever you want.
