Episode 35. Royal Academy (3)
92%.
It was an absurd number that I had never seen or heard of in my life.
To this extent, isn’t it God’s choice, but a being from the divine world who entered the human body directly?
I am confident that this student will be the first person to have such a high score since attribute testing began.
“This magic circle isn’t broken, is it?”
“Is that possible? It was working fine a little while ago… … .”
The two instructors checked the writing on the parchment again and again.
Even if I checked it a thousand times, I still wouldn’t believe it.
“It’s over, right?”
Xian calmly came down from the magic circle and checked his parchment.
An indifferent look that doesn’t even lift an eyebrow.
He left the room without any reaction to the figure of 92%.
The two instructors who remained were still dumbfounded.
“Attribute value 92% and body grade S… … . “At least he has a conscience and his magic rating is 1 star.”
However, it didn’t seem to have much meaning.
In any case, magic level is just a chronic factor that gradually increases as the years go by.
“It is certainly an unprecedented number, but… … .”
Instructor Rodin was somewhat disappointed.
“Why does it have to be a dark attribute…? … Looking at it the other way, it’s really sad.”
Darkness attribute.
Looking at the attribute itself, it is a rare attribute, but it is not a very welcomed attribute in this land.
Although there were not many holders, the Usif Empire was basically a country that worshiped light.
In a country that prefers light, it is unlikely that darkness, which is the opposite of light, will be viewed with favor.
This is also true in other regions, including neighboring countries, and as a result, almost no magic research based on dark attributes has been conducted on the continent.
In short, a bright apricot.
It was just a superficial attribute with no substance whatsoever.
“Iknow, right. If the maximum number is 92%, the remaining number excluding that is 8%, so I don’t think I will be able to grow much with magic.”
“You never know. “If you combine that level of fitness with genius, you can create as many new magics as you want.”
“It’s a dark attribute magic… … I honestly have no idea. At most, the magic would be something like stealth or illusion… … . How can we develop the attributes of being treated coldly like that?”
Silica shook her head even as she spoke.
Rodin, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking deeply about something with a meaningful expression on his face.
“Rodin, does something seem to come to mind?”
“no. “It’s nothing special, but I thought there might be an organization that would welcome that student named Xian.”
“Where is it?”
Rodin hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and spoke.
“Mist… … .”
“… … .”
“No, you said it was a magic of stealth or illusion… … I thought it might be good for assassins who enjoy using that type of class… … .”
She was looking at Rodin with a look of genuine contempt.

92%.
I think it was originally in the 80% range in my previous life, but I guess that figure has increased since then.
Well, it’s strange that the mana I used to hunt demon beasts hasn’t increased to a certain extent.
It goes without saying, but the attribute values confirmed now do not remain unchanged throughout life.
Just as strength increases if you use it, and becomes dull if you don’t use it,
Attributes can also increase or decrease depending on how you use and use mana.
Although it varies from person to person, it is said that the rate of change is usually around 10%.
Of course, there are more examples than that.
Well, even in my past life, I received quite a bit of attention because of this ridiculous figure.
Most of the ridicule was that he was incompetent because of his family’s incompetence, but… … .
Oh, you’re trying to get in the mood for thinking about the past again?
In my past life, I thought I would just do it and moved on, but I don’t think I can do that this time.
I think they might set an example for one person and throw them into the abyss of darkness, causing them despair and pain… … .
Well, if that happens, my quiet and peaceful life at the academy will be over.
I tried to calm my uneasy mind by drinking the strength-boosting potion I brought from the dormitory.
Hmm, this looks a lot more edible than I thought?
The sweet and bitter taste is reminiscent of troll blood.
Well, the efficacy may not be worth comparing, but to the extent that it reminds me of the old taste… … .
“… … !”
The moment I turned the corner, I encountered a familiar face.
“City City… … .”
Eyes and mouth trembling as if suffering from an acute illness.
A reaction as if I had seen a dead person who shouldn’t have been there.
It was Kranz.
You bastard, I met you well.
“Do you know Krantz?”
Next to him was a blond-haired boy who had gained weight so much that he had no neck and his head seemed to be resting directly on his chest.

——————
Oh, I remember you too.
Popper Fenelon, the son of Marquis Fenelon of Garam Kingdom.
Along with Kranz, he was one of the guys who made my early academy life very dirty.
“Uh, well, that’s… … .”
Despite the pig’s question, Krantz continued to stare as if he were a dead body. What the hell, why can’t you speak?
Have you forgotten the name of your dear little brother?
That can’t be possible.
There’s no way my brother Krantz, who bragged his mother that he wanted him to disappear from this world because he didn’t even want to see his face, would ever forget this little brother!
“It’s my little brother! Sian Bert came to the academy with me this year! “Well, you arrived safely, Xian?!”
Look at this shameless bastard?
But you still act like nothing’s wrong just because you have a friend?
For now, I decided to stay quiet and see how long I would last.
“Ah, is this the younger brother you said you treated like a slave while you lived in the mansion?”
“… … !”
Kranz’s face, who had finally regained his senses, turned white again.
His eyes were so wandering that he couldn’t bear to see my face.
Oh yes, that’s true.
It’s true that this guy treated me like a slave until we had a sword fight.
Because I am a compassionate person, I can tolerate that much tongue-in-cheek behavior.
“Besides, you said he was an illegitimate child who didn’t even know who his mother was, right? Hey! Just as you said, it looks very rootless!”
-thud
The sound of something heavy falling was heard.
Predictably, it was probably the sound of Kranz’s heart sinking.
“Oh, no, I mean… … !”
-chin
Without even hearing an excuse, I immediately grabbed the back of the guy’s head and grabbed it.
The hair I grabbed was very wet from how much I had sweated, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let it go.
As expected, animals have to be hit to be obeyed, so it looks like the animal will need some training time again.
I lowered my head for a moment and then spoke with a bright smile.
“Would you like to talk for a moment, Krantz?”

“Attribute value 92%?”
The white-haired old man who was reading the report said while stroking his chin.
“yes. But since the most important attribute itself is darkness… … .”
“I’m saying it won’t be practical.”
The old man continued to look closely at Sian Berth’s report with a refined gaze.
“It is certainly true that this is an all-time high. Ellis Wert, who was called the child of God, was also like 81%, I guess?”
“yes. “By the time I graduated, my water properties had increased to 88%.”
“That’s interesting. “I never would have thought that a freshman would have reached a level that even the child who was praised as having the greatest talent of all time could not achieve.”
There was a rare, gentle smile on the president’s face.
After seeing that, Silica felt that the current situation was very unfamiliar.
She is in the president’s office located on the top floor of the academy’s main building.
Since I came here to report on today’s quick inspection, the old man reading the report had to be the owner of this room.
Kundel Küsel, President of the Royal Academy.
He is the head of the Küsel family, a powerful family in the Usif Empire, and the father of Diana Küsel, the emperor’s first empress, and the emperor’s former father-in-law.
In addition, he was the only member of the Academy to have reached the 9-star level.
“Do you know that this child named Xian has been assigned to the Royal Pavilion?”
“yes. “I heard this from other instructors.”
“How do you think he was assigned as he is not a member of the royal family?”
Cold sweat rolled down Silica’s body at the untimely quiz show.
In fact, the answer was already somewhat out there.
An ordinary noble who was not even a member of the imperial family was assigned the royal crown?
There was no need to think too much about this; it was just someone’s influence.
The problem is that the person who will accept it must be someone with more power than the president.
The only person who fell into this category was President Kundel.
In other words, it can be concluded that Sian Wert was assigned to the Royal Pavilion because President Kundel received an order from someone and accepted it.
“… … “Did Duke Berthe instigate it?”
“Hehe, that’s not it. How upright is Duke Berthe? “I’m not the kind of man who would ask you to do something like that just to look after your child’s convenience.”
“Then who… … ?”
“Your Majesty the Emperor… … .”
Silica couldn’t believe her ears for a moment.
“D-Do you mean His Majesty Emperor Dione?”
Kundel responded by silently raising his eyebrows.
“Why on earth did your Majesty have that child?”
“What is your current magic level?”
Kundel suddenly asked her magic level.
“It’s 7 stars… … .”
Without anything special, it was the average rating of the instructors at the academy.
“At 7 stars, you can easily wipe out an entire village with a single killing spell. “What would you do if a dragon appeared in front of you right now?”
“Do you mean the dragon?”
What would you do if a successor with the blood of a god appeared before your eyes?
I don’t know why she’s asking such a question, but Scilica decided to be honest for now.
“Fight with all my might… … No, I will try to run away, but I think I will soon beg God to save me.”
“I’m being honest. Yes, even you, a 7-star, say that, but it goes without saying that other people would say that. Perhaps most of them will become aware of death and give up on life. But… … .”
The president’s eyes suddenly turned sharp.
“They said the child came back alive. From a dragon… … .”
“… … ?”
Silica went beyond believing her ears and began to doubt reality, wondering if she was dreaming.
“Can’t you believe it? Surprisingly, this is what His Majesty the Emperor himself said to me. They say he was kidnapped by a devil dragon, fell into a river, disappeared, and was found two days later. No harm to life… … .”
“I heard that you lived on the front lines, but I never thought something like that would have happened… … .”
Kundel continued speaking.
“It seems that His Majesty the Emperor was greatly impressed by the fact that Princess Arin, who accompanied him on his tour at the time, was safely evacuated from the demonic beasts. She saw with her own eyes that the dragon came back alive, so there’s no need to say more. “There might be talk of the two getting married in a few years.”
Although it was said as a joke, it was actually quite possible if the emperor was directly involved.
Silica, who learned everything, asked with a complex expression.
“… … Was that child really chosen by God?”
Kundel answered indifferently.
“It’s nothing to think about. All we have to do is just watch. Even if someone had useless attributes, wouldn’t they know it? We will reach a unique level that no one can reach… … .”
Kundel was looking at Xian’s report with a satisfied smile, as if he were looking at a flower pot waiting to bloom.
