Episode 100. Wind of Change (2)
It’s been two hours already.
It was as if the chair and the buttocks had become one, and there was not even the slightest movement.
It was truly incredible concentration.
A young man in his late twenties, not yet thirty.
Scilica’s first impression was that he was a very strange man.
Before entering the president’s office, the sense of discomfort that came from beyond the door was so threatening that it made her fur stand on end.
However, those feelings of discomfort disappeared like a breeze the moment I saw his face.
The image of a typical academic scholar.
It seems like he will be locked in a secluded room somewhere and only study magic for the rest of his life.
It gave the impression that it couldn’t even kill a bug, let alone a person.
In response, Silica approached cautiously and spoke.
“You are very absorbed, aren’t you?”
Boris looked a little embarrassed, as if he hadn’t noticed her approaching.
“haha. Since there are so many outstanding students, I thought they might feel rejected by me. “I want to get closer to you in this way first.”
What he was looking at was thousands of pages of student records.
From freshmen to graduating students,
Of course, checking hundreds of students one by one was not an easy task, and most people would not even attempt it.
“Instructor Boris is probably the first instructor to check students’ birth records as soon as he takes office.”
“Is that so? Maybe I’m doing something wrong… … .”
“no! Rather, you just want to learn that passion? “Is there a student you’re interested in?”
Boris responded with a smile as if he had been waiting.
“Yes, there is. The student I’m looking at right now is quite interesting… … .”
Scilica’s eyes naturally turned to someone’s live parts he was holding.
“… … !”
A tingling feeling as if a needle has pierced somewhere in the body.
However, Silica did not show it and kept smiling.
“Do you know about this student, Teacher Sirika?”
“Sure. “He is very famous at our academy.”
It’s strange that there are people I don’t know.
He is a truly ambiguous student who has been on the lips of almost every student at least once since entering school. He is not an honor student, but he is not a problem child either.
Additionally, he has a very close relationship with her.
“He is the youngest son of Duke Berthe, the famous guardian of the continent, and is an unprecedented student with an attribute score of over 90%. Well, talent is talent, but among our instructors, he is famous as a student who is difficult to see.”
In fact, Xian’s attendance list was very flashy.
The attendance rate is so close that it avoids repeating a grade,
Despite this, he never received a single academic warning, let alone a suspension, and took all exams regularly.
What’s interesting is that in theory subjects, students usually received close to failing grades, but in practical subjects such as swordsmanship and magic application, they received grades close to perfect.
Boris asked with a strange smile.
“Did you say this student is currently in the academy?”
* * *
-Dugudugu
The sound of hooves breaking the silence was heard from beyond the hill.
An experienced driver would already be able to tell who was coming just by looking at the distance.
A white carriage running in the center,
Dozens of escort knights were on full alert around the area.
Even the golden flag swaying violently in the swirling wind.
This was the family flag of the Sebellus family, the imperial family, with the emblem of Lumendel, the god of light, engraved on it.
Since the brothers Fabian and Nerobien also graduated last year, there was only one person who could come to the academy wearing that flag.
“Welcome to Luwen, the city of unity!”
The moment the carriage arrived, the guards saluted with Seonchang.
-Squeak
The carriage door opened, and a short-haired woman with a sword at her waist appeared.
Although she was a young girl who had just left her youthful appearance, the confidence on her strong face stood out.
After bowing to the guards, she silently presented two nameplates.
“I’m sorry, but could the other companions inside please drop off as well? Due to a series of events, the procedures have been strengthened… … .”
Immediately, another woman appeared inside the carriage.
The moment they saw her face, the guards made their way without any delay.
“Meet Arin Sebelus, princess of the Wusif Empire!”
The two women were able to enter Luwen without any problems.
“Please go and unpack your luggage first. “I want to take a walk around the city with Resimus.”
“I will obey the princess’ orders!”
Some knights who received orders entered the city with their carriages.
Arin, along with Resimus and the rest of the knights, walked slowly.
“It’s very quiet. It wasn’t like this originally… … .”
Not only the students, but not even the merchants who had come in droves to coincide with the start of the semester were nowhere to be seen.
It was as if I was seeing the city I had fled to before the war.
“I guess the aftermath of the banquet incident was very significant. Also, there was something that happened 15 days ago… … .”

Arin sighed in regret.
“I feel sorry for that kid too. Not only did he experience something like that in the Empire, but he also experienced the unpleasant experience of being kidnapped… … .”
Seeing this, Resimus felt even more sad.
she knew
Although she is trying hard to pretend to be steadfast, Arin’s insides are not completely intact right now.
No matter how bold and bold she appears, in the end she is just a 13-year-old girl.
The position of the princess, who couldn’t show it even when she was tired and couldn’t cry even when she was sad, was just heartbreaking at times like this.
“Let’s go. Arin. Still, if you go to the dormitory, Sian will be there.”
“draft… … ?”
Contrary to what I thought would show interest, Arin showed a sullen expression.
“it’s okay! I didn’t come here to see her… … .”
Resimus couldn’t help but be embarrassed for a moment.
“Ji, are you serious?”
“You probably don’t care whether I come or not anyway, right? Even though you came to the banquet, you didn’t even come to see me! “I don’t care anymore!”
Arin’s face was filled with sad feelings about Sian.
However, in that sulky appearance, the hidden girlishness was secretly revealed.
“Well, that doesn’t mean I won’t go!”
“yes?”
“You promised me Nana! When I come back, the first thing I will do is go see it! “How bored must you have been with this boring Xian?”
“Yes, I guess so… … .”
It was Resimus who sighed in relief for some reason.
The moment the two women were about to head to the Royal Pavilion,
“Welcome to Luwen, the city of unity!”
Suddenly, the cries of guards were heard from behind.
Ruwen’s guards do not chant except for noblemen’s children or high-ranking members of the Academy.
The moment I turned my head, naturally thinking that it was the same student as her,
“… … ?”
Arin came face to face with a very familiar face.
“Lu, Lunav?”
The two women couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, as if they had seen someone who shouldn’t be there.
After passing through the gate, she also reacted when she saw Arin.
“Princess Arin?”
Unlike Arin, he didn’t seem very surprised.
Dozens of robed wizards followed suit.
“uh… … “Are you okay?”
“Was there anything I wouldn’t be okay with?”
I was so embarrassed that I unconsciously asked how Luna was doing, but instead, Lunab tilted her head.
* * *
For a moment, I was taken aback by the accidental reunion.
Arin and Lunab soon matched their steps and started accompanying to the academy.
Resimus followed him,
Also, the knights of the imperial castle and the magicians of the society were following behind them, maintaining a certain distance.
“It’s okay to ask this, but how have you been?”
“There was nothing special. “After returning from the empire, I just stayed in my room.”
“It’s just like me. “I couldn’t even take a step out of my room until I got to the academy, let alone outside.”
Arin, who felt a sense of kinship, responded by clapping her hands.
At this, a look of discomfort appeared in Lunav’s eyes for a moment.
“You can let go.”
“yes?”
“Anyway, this is an academy, not an empire. So please feel free to call me. “Can I call you Senior Arin instead?”
“Uh, okay then. Well… … .”
Arin suddenly stopped speaking.
Lunav, who felt a little more at ease, continued speaking.
“Actually, in my case, it wasn’t because of the banquet, but rather that my grandfather’s restraints were severe from the beginning. Then one day, I was so bored that I decided to escape without my grandfather knowing. In the end, I succeeded and headed to the academy.”
“Uh, how?”
“It’s simple. Anyway, the guards around me are always stationed at a certain time and in a certain place. The shift times were the same. Actually, I could have gotten out of there before. I just didn’t do it because I had nothing else to do. Well, it seems like my grandfather has strengthened his surveillance since then, but it’s still not impossible.”
Arin expressed her admiration half a beat late.
“Wow, that’s amazing. I didn’t know you could see through it so well. “Actually, I was very worried when I heard about your kidnapping.”
Lunav maintained a calm gaze as if it was no big deal.
“Well, then may I ask what you went to the academy for?”
“Ah, I went to see senior Xian.”
Arin’s footsteps, which had been moving without delay, suddenly stopped.
As a result, Lunav, Resimus, and the Guardian Knights who followed all stopped.
“Si, you went to see Xian?!”
Unlike Arin, who was extremely excited, Lunav’s face was still calm.
“yes. I was just bored and wanted to see my senior’s face. So I went looking for it.”
“Well, so? “Did Sian meet you?”
“I went to the Royal Pavilion in person and met him. But he didn’t seem to want to let me in, so he grabbed my hand and led me to the cafeteria.”
Arin knew right away that it was because of Nana.
“Anyway, I had a conversation with a senior there, and while he was in the bathroom for a moment, I was kidnapped. Even thinking about it now, I feel very moved. I should have noticed right away that they were strangers I had never seen before. “It was entirely my mistake.”
Runab was blaming herself for what happened then, saying it was her own mistake.
When Arin saw that, she felt strange.
Although I was blaming myself, I was never frustrated,
Even if something similar to this happened next time, he had a strong confidence that he would never suffer it.
The girls continued to walk, and before they knew it, they had reached the inside of the academy.
Was it because we were too focused on each other’s conversation?
Neither the two women in front nor the knights following them noticed that a man was approaching them.
“… … !”
The two women were greatly surprised by the sudden, unfamiliar act of popularity.
“No, I’m sorry for surprising you. “Did I somehow disturb you?”
Resimus, who was nearby, quickly blocked Arin’s path.
The knights and wizards who followed
The man who suddenly appeared quickly lowered his head and immediately apologized.
“Who are you?”
“nice to see you. “My name is Boris Lehelm, a new instructor at the academy this semester.”
“New, new instructor?”
The man immediately displayed his nameplate to prevent suspicion.
It was a clear nameplate with the academy’s emblem stamped on it.
“Excuse me. While I was looking around the academy, I happened to see two people coming and without realizing it, I approached them. “You are Arin and Lunav students, right?”
“Yes, it is, but… … .”
Even though it was their first time meeting, the man seemed to already know who they were.
“Perhaps because he is an honor student at the academy, he has a very rich mana energy. She was very surprised. “If you don’t mind, would it be okay if she checks your magic for a moment?”
“How are you going to check?”
“It’s simple. All you have to do is create a small mana sphere and hand it to me. If it makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to do it! “It’s just a favor.”
Although his status as an instructor was proven, Runab did not let his guard down.
On the other hand, Arin seemed to be a little interested and created her own mana sphere without much difficulty.
“Is it okay to just give it to you?”
“yes. That’s right.”
The moment the white sphere that rose from the delicate hand was finally handed over to Instructor Boris,
-chin
Someone’s rough hand roughly grabbed Arin’s wrist.
“… … !”
Arin, who unintentionally lost her balance, took a step back and soon found herself in someone’s arms.
Arin was startled when she saw the owner of the hand.
“Si, Sian?”
His face looked very angry for some reason.
