For over two years now, in Winter Valley there has existed a rather peculiar group known as the Eliza’s Honor Guard. Its membership: a mere four men. All of them middle-aged, all of them ordinary citizens with no noble titles to their names.
It all began when they first saw Eliza give a presentation at the cultural festival, nearly in tears from nerves. That was her very first year as a teacher, right after graduating from the academy.… Read more
“……Wait a moment. If that were the case, more detailed information should flow to the Nevis family and others who are doing business on the back side.”
“Is that so? But if that’s the case, what are you saying?”
Not understanding what Aoi wanted to say, Rocks tilted his head. Nodding at this, Aoi opened her mouth.
“In other words, it might not be simple smuggling by merchants or rogues, but someone with much greater power might be involved.… Read more
Many rough vendors have set up shop. Having heard such rumors, Rocks runs around the academy during the cultural festival preparation period.
“Oh my, Rocks-san. Has something happened?”
A gruff male voice called out to Rocks as he walked through the academy accompanied by knights. When he turned around, he saw the face of a young man from the Nevis family whom he occasionally conversed with. Rocks furrowed his brow and approached with quick steps.… Read more
“You know that the number of people who can become magicians in our country is extremely small compared to other countries. In such a situation, allocating budget to education has a high possibility of being wasted. In that case, it would be better to produce more blacksmiths. Then we would need to expand facilities even further. You understand there’s no extra budget, don’t you?”
“Y-yes…”
At Grants’s explanation, Eliza dropped her shoulders and replied.… Read more
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I really intended to return right away, but I never expected it would take this long… My apologies.”
I approached Tis, who had been watching the presentations while waiting, and immediately apologized for taking so much time. She shook her head left and right with a very apologetic attitude.
“N-no, I don’t mind at all.”
Perhaps being reserved, Tis said such a thing.… Read more
“…Felter. You said Aoi is stronger than you?”
“I’m no match for her at all.”
Felter answered immediately, and Ramsey showed his teeth in a laugh. Showing an expression that this had become interesting, Ramsey took out heavy gauntlets from his waist. For Ramsey, who seemed to prefer light equipment overall, those gauntlets were greatly out of place. It would be more fitting to say someone had borrowed someone else’s equipment, but when Ramsey held them, they strangely suited him well.… Read more
“Speed and strength should be good, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. The opponent has specialized completely in speed. If we enhance you in the same way, you’d be at a disadvantage since the opponent has more experience. In that case, let’s perform body enhancement with the idea that if we can land a hit, we can win.”
“Understood.”
At my words, Felter nodded obediently and began chanting.
Since becoming my disciple, I’ve had many practice battles with Felter.… Read more
“Dean-kun’s magical knowledge is biased toward wind and water. First, to help him understand wind and water magic up to the advanced level, we must teach him the mechanisms of wind and water, and the way of thinking about magic.”
When I briefly conveyed the study method, Tis furrowed her brow.
“No, but first-class magicians should be able to use various magics. If he can only use wind and water…”
“Ah, I apologize. I misspoke. What I meant is that he should first learn wind and water… Once wind and water magic reach a certain level, I think it would be best to learn fire and earth magic in order next.”… Read more
The other instructor’s presentation was water magic. They created a mountain and made spring water flow from its peak, forming a waterfall. Then, they froze that waterfall to create an ice castle. This presentation followed the advice I had given them, but they had added their own innovations to the incantation. To maximize the size of the ice castle, they had expanded the freezing range. What was truly admirable was how they had accurately mastered the incantation we had worked on together and then elevated it even further.… Read more
Going to the central plaza, many people had already gathered. Since there would be a presentation soon, most people were looking toward the center of the plaza.
“I’ll go check on Hennessy-sensei for a moment.”
“Ah, understood.”
“Then I’ll look for Dean-kun!”
“That sounds good. Please do.”
After this exchange with Aile and the others, I headed toward Hennessy, who was taking deep breaths at the side of the plaza. Hennessy usually lets her red hair hang down casually, but today it was properly tied up and set.… Read more
