47 – Award Ceremony (1)

I guess Sylvia’s fuss wasn’t for nothing.

“Oh.”

Returning to the dorm and checking the Kirtos terminal, Ian involuntarily exclaimed.

【 We look at the prophecy. (Free prophecy event has ended)]

An online fortune-teller made before entering the scenario.

There was a tremendous explosion of interest in the place set up on the Kirtos anonymous bulletin board.

As well as numerous requests attached to posts.

— When will the Prophet return?

— Why are kids these days so easily incited to cheat?

— Estimated identity of a hot prophet these days.

Remnants spilled over to the general bulletin board.

The reason was quickly found.

A child named Mercy who was badly hurt by Lina Roswell this time.

She must have been the ‘Mercy Aniston’ that the child gave her free prophecy.

Thanks to her mentioning this post here and there, people seem to have flocked to it.

Okay. It’s only natural that you’re curious since you’ve written down specific things like the place and time of what’s going to happen that day.

“Hmm.”

Before checking the accumulated articles.

Ian crossed his arms and thought.

“Let’s decide on a name.”

As much as Ian succeeded in turning off the aggro, there could be a follow-up company.

After thinking for a while, Ian changed the title of the post.

【 Kirtos Magician 】

“This should be enough.”

Originally, the more sloppy a fortune teller name looks, the more professional it looks.

Ian nodded and confirmed the requests that had arrived.

Dozens of requests piled up.

Aside from setting up a deposit so that you can ask questions, so many people have left a request.

“I set the conditions a little tight, but there are so many.”

___

1. The client’s name, place of residence, age, date of birth, family relationships, and friendships must be entered.

2. Questions should be as specific as possible and written without misunderstanding.

3. We politely decline inquiries about reward. Give examples that the client thinks are appropriate.

* We only answer quests that can be answered. Please ask a sincere question.

___

In a word, Ian himself is super strong.

The client is .

In the first place, it is a post made for the purpose of earning pocket money, as long as it does not affect the story.

“I didn’t expect it to explode like this.”

Swish, swish.

Ian swiped the terminal down.

___

Name: Maurice Agate

Question: I am so afraid of the rating evaluation that will be held soon. If I don’t get 3 stars this time, I think I’ll be kicked out of the house. How can I get a good grade?

Given money: 10 silver.

___

Ten bowls of Lichten authentic homemade rice soup with 10 silver sides.

“Great.”

This much money after writing a few lines.

I’m possessed by this taste.

“Hmm… This question deserves an answer… I’d better turn this around.”

— Patak patak

That’s how I picked out a few decent quests and answered them.

Silver accumulates in an hour or so.

“There are many children from wealthy families.”

As expected of the prestigious Liechtenian Academy.

Even with the monthly interest on the debt that Pongpong has accumulated, the surplus funds have accumulated.

Of course, since customers flocked to a special event, the profit would be less.

Even though I picked and chose and answered, I might not have to worry about interest for a while now.

“Good, good.”

From noble mtl dot com

Financial situation starting to improve.

Ian leaned back on the back of his chair with satisfaction.

And that’s not all.

— As a result of the dormitory bloodshed incident investigation, some of Cadet Ian’s merits were recognized. A commendation is scheduled to be awarded at a later date. Which reward would you prefer to receive together at that time? Temporary access to the reading room on the middle level of the library, Professor Violet’s appointment as assistant. And each month, you can choose from one of the Dignity Scholarships.

After the investigative committee completed its investigation. That’s what she asked at the student office.

Of course, Ian’s choice was a scholarship.

— By the way, can I not receive a lump sum payment?

— That’s kind of…

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the reward at the academy level.

Even if Lina Roswell was the final boss, it was all the Shale Christians who caused visible damage.

Ian just stopped her final boss Lina Roswell right before she exploded.

‘If it explodes, four heroines must cling to it to stop it.’

Prevention is best.

If you go around bragging about something like this, you’ll only hear the sound of a madman, so the academy’s compensation is satisfactory with this.

“The real reward is rather separate.”

Your authority has grown by one level.

Not only that.

Mana Heart. In other words, the amount of earth mana contained in Danjeon increased considerably.

If I had mana the size of a millet in the past, now I have about a spoonful of mana in my danjeon.

In terms of absolute quantity, it is small.

But it is infinitely pure and pure mana that has been filtered and filtered.

Its value is incomparable to normal mana.

The path of growth chosen to maximize potential

Thanks to the foundation that is being built more solidly than anyone else, it feels like it is gradually accelerating.

“This should be enough to learn other skills.”

Extraction and Transformation.

Skills used to use mana the size of an ant millet as efficiently as possible.

It has the disadvantage of having to engage in close combat, but at the same time, it has the advantage of being optimized for the use of earth elements. Besides, you can use minerals like Lunar.

In Ian’s opinion, the value of these skills is the ending level with infinite potential according to his growth.

Therefore, I plan to approach it in a way that compensates for its weaknesses.

“As for the skill I need right now… It’s also a mobility skill.”

Right now, Ian’s mobile device is about strengthening his body through transformation and running around.

It’s a bit fast, but…

“Not explosive.”

Therefore, it is difficult to bring surprise into battle.

At best, it’s about provoking or tricking the opponent.

So far, that has worked, but it is unclear whether that will continue.

For Ian, who has to engage in close combat, slow movement is his biggest weakness.

In addition, there should be something to show for the upcoming ability evaluation – grade measurement.

“I need more explosive mobility.”

Ian crossed his arms and thought.

The biggest problem is that the greatest weakness of earth attribute magic is movement.

When I think about it at the level of common sense, there is no moment when a stone becomes faster except when it rolls down a mountain slope.

That’s why you can’t really roll around.

“Oh.”

There is a person that flashes through my mind.

A mad scientist who is supposed to be stuck in a laboratory at the academy. Should I visit her sometime?

While contemplating with her arms crossed, the alarm went off.

[ Commendation Ceremony ]

It’s a bit annoying, but it’s time to go get the scholarship.

The site of Lichten Academy is quite large.

The main building, where key figures such as the president’s office reside, is quite far from the tram stop.

In addition, the main building itself is quite large.

When you walk, you naturally sigh.

“I put up with it because of the scholarship.”

The outdoor event venue in front of the main building where we arrived.

Ian passed the people who were busy getting ready and took a seat at the award winner’s table.

There are no cadets, but it looks like the ceremony will be held quite sincerely, including reporters.

Okay.

Shalamists came out from inside the academy, especially from the dormitory. There were cadets who sucked blood, and there were also cadets who were infected with blue mushrooms.

It is an incident worthy of criticism for failing to manage and prevent the academy.

But the academy’s leaders are smart.

Creating a hero.

Instead of making people angry, they create something to envy and look up to.

The intention of the ceremony was clear.

‘…I feel like I’m being taken advantage of.’

Ian was surprisingly not in a bad mood.

The reason was simple.

‘Because I said I’d give you money.’

There is no reason to refuse a scholarship worth 50 silver coins that will be deposited every month.

Besides, the main character of this ceremony is Sharon Pierce anyway.

Even if her face sells, she will only sell her face.

More than that.

“Why don’t they come like this?”

It was around the time when I was sitting alone among the three chairs lined up and waiting.

From under the podium, I could see prickling ears.

A small face gradually revealed as you climb the stairs.

“…Danya?”

Flinch.

After a moment of flinching, she walked over to her award winner’s seat, looking at the mountains in the distance.

“No, why are you here?”

“Why, why? You mean I shouldn’t receive awards? Don’t discriminate against the number of people!”

Anyone can see that he is in a hurry to hide something.

It’s so shamelessly angry that it’s cute.

Anyway, the fact that Danya is here means that she played an active part in the median house bloodshed incident.

Ian shakes his head. That doesn’t make sense.

At the same time as the incident started, a barrier was placed around it…

“You don’t live in Median House.”

“Wow!”

“Why were you there at night?”

“Oh… You mean that?”

Danya’s eyes rolling back and forth.

She glances at Ian, then she flinches and shakes her shoulders.

“I am absolutely not?”

“What?”

“It’s not like I followed you or something like that! I was just taking a walk at night, and suddenly I saw you, so I was worried and followed you!”

“… Taking a walk that night?”

“Yeah. Me, I’m nocturnal.”

Hmm.

Come to think of it, felines are nocturnal.

Still, there was something fishy about that glance.

Ian’s eyes are thinning.

“Come to think of it. Didn’t we meet by chance near my lodging the other day?”

“Nyan!”

Danya, startled, pursed his lips.

Her face was stained pink.

“Because the grass is pretty there?”

“What do you mean?”

Danya bowed her head.

If there is a person that comes to mind, there is an instinct to feel comfortable when you are near that person. The Ketsnesian clan is like that. Of course, it was Danya who couldn’t honestly say that even if he died. Especially if that’s Ian.

So instead, Barak got angry.

“That, more than that! You are more of a problem! Why are you going to the girls’ dormitory in the middle of the night!”

“That’s it.”

Without listening to Ian’s words, Danya’s eyes were stained with astonishment. It was an arbitrary conclusion.

“Ugh. Could it be that you and Rina were like that…?”

The tail and ears droop.

Seeing that, Ian let out a sigh.

‘What kind of misunderstanding is this guy?’

“Hey. Bullsh*t…”

Ian was speechless.

Because she suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head to the source of the coolness.

Long straight blue hair.

Pale white skin.

Sharon Pierce.

With her infinitely cold voice, she opens her mouth.

“Yeah. I hope you stop talking nonsense.”

Sharon’s sad blue eyes, looking down at Ian, were full of life.
