29 – What does a shaman claim to be – 4

The dean’s office where Amelia Binsmarck is staying.

Not only research materials but also various household items were scattered here and there.

There were sacks of sacks scattered around, leftover food, and used books piled up.

These were all works created by Amelia.

And in the center of the room, Amelia and Harvey were facing each other.

Amelia was glaring at Harvey with her legs on the desk.

It was to hold Harvey responsible for the unauthorized duel incident that had occurred earlier.

Originally, both the person who requested the duel and the person who accepted it should have been punished.

Zera was judged to have severe injuries and mental damage and was taken to the infirmary.

In the end, it was decided that Xera’s punishment would be for her to return to normal, and this position was created to punish Harvey, who suffered only a few bruises.

“Harvey.”

” why. “

Since it was just the two of them, Harvey spoke comfortably.

There was already a history of talking to each other before, and Harvey was already in a relationship with Amelia on the same level.

Fortunately, Amelia was not a wizard with a sense of authority.

Rather, this equal relationship was the value she pursued.

“What on earth have you got in mind?! It’s the Hernández family! Hernández!”

“I am Artur.”

“That’s not the problem!”

Bang bang!

Amelia pounded the desk and screamed.

On the other hand, Harvey looked at Amelia with a very calm expression.

It was as if he was saying, “What’s the problem with that?”

As all of Harvey’s thoughts were revealed on his face, Amelia became even more angry and screamed when she pointed and pointed at Harvey.

“She is your ex-fiancé, and the beloved daughter of the little boy of the head of the family, Hernández. What will happen if this news reaches the little boy’s ears?”

“He’ll be running wild.”

“That’s right! In addition, your reputation will go from bad to worse, all the way to hell!”

“I already have no reputation left.”

“It means that you too will become dangerous… you bastard…”

Amelia said, placing her right hand on her head as if she had a headache.

Although I could sense Amelia’s career when she first called the matriarch of Hernández a kid.

Norrington Academy is a place where children from all kinds of noble families gather.

It was a structure in which political fights were bound to occur.

As Amelia, who hates trouble, she hates political fights.

Human relationships, interests, gains and losses, arranged marriages.

The political world, full of headaches, was like rat poison to her.

Moreover, the incident that occurred with Harvey is not an ordinary incident.

An incident in which a son of the Arthur family and a son of the Hernández family engaged in an unauthorized duel.

If disciplinary action were to be taken in accordance with the academy’s laws, the minimum would be suspension and the maximum would be expulsion.

However, the family that supports Zera and Harvey at the same time seems to be reluctant to expel them from school at the same time.

However, the Hernández family seems too cautious to just ignore it.

The Hernández matriarch was famous for loving her children dearly, but if she found out that Zera was injured…

“…Whew…”

Squeaky.

He was so disgusted with Harvey, who gave him such a headache.

Due to the recent suspicious trends in the empire, the king is constantly whining for him to return as a court wizard.

Things overlapped and overlapped, and now Amelia’s mind was on the verge of exploding.

“So what are you going to do? You have everything planned out, right?”

” no. “

“W-what are you talking about?! What did you just say? You caused an accident on stage without planning!? What kind of confidence do you have!”

“There’s no need to make a plan.”

As always, a calm expression.

However, there was confidence in his eyes.

“Just suspend me.”

“W-what?! It’s not something that can be decided so easily! If you get suspended from school, the same thing will have to happen to Zera!”

The gap between the Arthur family and the Hernández family is wide.

Therefore, if Harvey is suspended from school, the same suspension should be handed down to Zera.

This was so that noise would not be mixed in.

“Put all responsibility for the incident on me.”

“…What did you say?”

“I will take full responsibility.”

“Are you out of your mind…?”

“I was always sane.”

Amelia’s eyes widen at Harvey’s remarks.

Of course, if the blame for the incident is placed on Harvey and only Harvey is suspended, things will go smoothly.

Since the punishment was appropriate, the Hernández family will be satisfied, and there is no room for the Arthur family to interfere.

It was a way to satisfy everyone… but it was also a way to make everyone comfortable by sacrificing one person.

“Is it still okay?”

“I decided to leave the academy anyway, so I have no more regrets.”

“…Yes, that’s why we negotiated with this body.”

“Just cause was created. There is no reason for a suspended student to be at the academy anymore.”

“…but that’s also true.”

Even if you say it’s okay, even if Harvey is in an equal relationship with you.

Harvey was his student, a student much younger than himself.

You want to solve the problem by using such a student as a sacrifice.

It was something that should not have been done, not as a wizard but as an educator.

As Amelia rolled her eyes and fell into worry, Harvey opened his mouth again to persuade her.

“They will move soon.”

“…!”

As soon as the word ‘guys’ came out, the atmosphere started to completely change.

Mana mixed with death began to flow from Amelia.

It was Amelia’s trauma and defense mechanism that came out instinctively, not voluntarily.

“Did you just say ‘guys’?”

“Yes, we previously received information that their movements were suspicious. We are going outside the academy to check it out.”

“…I’ll go with you too.”

” no. “

“Why!”

Amelia’s eyes sparkle and she criticizes Harvey’s rejection.

Amelia easily loses her temper whenever it involves revenge or a connection to the past.

It was largely because of my regrets, regrets, and anger.

“A big name like the academy’s dean is making the move himself? It would be perfect to get noticed.”

“…Ugh.”

“Amel, you are too famous to move directly. It would be much more beneficial to help indirectly.”

“…I’m sick of it. The person I am now is nothing different from the person I was in the past.”

A thick darkness fell on Amelia’s face.

Even though he finally gained the strength to fight back, he couldn’t do anything himself and had to leave everything to a young student for a long time.

Doesn’t this make you feel like your entire life has been denied?

“If you feel like it…”

“Amel.”

“Should I just turn it over…?”

“Come to your senses, Amelia Bartain Binsmarck.”

“…!”

“I can’t defeat them on my own. In order to ultimately defeat them, we need cooperation with each other. Besides, the guys who showed up this time are just the tail of their power. There’s no reason to use a knife to kill a cow when killing a chicken. “

In reality, the base of the guys that Harvey was going to visit was a force made up of small children only.

It’s just a bunch of preparatory measures for cutting off the tail.

In any case, Harvey’s goal was the fragments of the sunstone, and he was going to subdue them at the same time.

“If I really have to fight those guys someday, then I’ll call you Amel. It’s better to save your strength for that day.”

“…I can’t help it.”

Amelia nods her head slightly, as if there is nothing she can do about Harvey’s words.

Certainly, for the sake of a great cause, reason must take precedence over emotions.

It was impossible to destroy the cause in order to resolve the depressed and frustrating feelings.

“Besides, you still have some work to do at the Academy, and shouldn’t you be watching over Orphée too?”

“…Ugh.”

“Take care of him well, and keep an eye on him. Soon, talented people who can fight him will start to gather around Orphée.”

” …indeed. “

Orphée is the brightest morning star in the sky.

And heroes always gather around the Morning Star.

In the upcoming incident, Orphee and the others must take care of important matters.

For that purpose, Harvey took the time to awaken Zera.

“Well, anyway, I won’t be at the academy for a while. There are things to find and people to find.”

“Things? People? Even if you look for things, why are you looking for people?”

“Recruiting colleagues.”

“A guy who seems to walk around alone is recruiting colleagues?”

“I can’t fight them alone. To do that, recruiting useful people is a good idea.”

“Indeed, just like the future Orphée, you too will gather heroes.”

“They are closer to villains than heroes, though.”

“That must be just as painful.”

Amelia frowns at Harvey’s words.

However, the lower officer’s lips were clearly mocking.

“I want them to grow because of me. That’s also the most efficient.”

“…Crazy guy.”

“Anyway, I’ll just go. I need to check before I leave. Please take care of the suspension.”

” for a moment! “

“…?”

Amelia snatches Harvey’s hand as he tries to turn around.

Amelia’s eyes lit up in the face of Harvey, who was filled with questions, and she slowly began to open her mouth.

“Didn’t you say you would teach me that power?”

” …ah. “

Now that I think about it, I forgot.

I decided to teach Amelia a little about witchcraft.

Because I was so busy, it seemed like my memories were buried somewhere.

“Come on, the suspension case will be handled quickly, so let’s talk slowly and leisurely!”

” …ha. “

Now that Harvey has been captured by the knowledge monster, there is zero way for him to escape.

Harvey gave up and was led by Amelia’s hand into a private room.

After that, Harvey was held captive by Amelia for five hours and had to teach him the most basic knowledge about witchcraft.

While teaching, Amelia listened to Harvey’s class diligently with her eyes shining, but as soon as the class ended, Harvey went back to the dormitory and collapsed.

It was because of the fatigue that remained in my body and because Amelia kept asking questions.
