360 – Side Story – Visit to the Academy

“Master, Luce. This.”

It was a long time ago.

While spending time with Luce in the garden, I received an interesting letter.

─ Hello, Isaac!

This is Amy Holloway. It’s been a while, right? It’s so nice to meet you!

This is a letter from a classmate.

Because starting this year, our riders have decided to hold a reunion at Marchen Academy!

You know, Keridna, who was the student council president? She said the decision was made on her own initiative. She also talked to Ian and Ciel!

I want you to attend too!

Well, what can I do if I can’t attend?

Then it would be a pity, right? It must be very disappointing, right?

As the person who once kidnapped me, I wonder if it would be right for me to come? Is that so?

hahahaha! Just kidding!

Goodbye then!

Posted by Amy Holloway.

Underneath the letter was written the date and place to meet.

“Reunion? “I see one of our jockeys too.”

Now that I think about it, I heard that Dorothy and Eve had a reunion last year.

Is it our turn this time?

“Luce, are you going?”

“I’m not going.”

“Why?”

“Because it seems troublesome. “I’m busy too.”

Luce seemed to have made up her mind as soon as she saw her sender.

‘Well, since it’s Luce, it’s natural.’

Luce doesn’t really try to become friends with anyone other than me.

It would be awkward to be among her classmates.

‘Ah.’

Now that I think about it, who sent the letter to Luce? Is it Amy?

“But how is yours written?”

“Just be polite. “I think it was sent by someone from the Holloway family.”

Are there not many writers?

It seems that Amy’s handwritten letter was only delivered to me from Düfendorf.

Well, Amy and Luce are not close at all.

“Are you going?”

She nodded.

“I have to go. “I want to play with the kids.”

“I guess so. “Isaac has many friends other than me.”

… I think I’m feeling sad inside.

Still, I was fortunate that it wasn’t as sunny as it was when I was attending the academy.

“hahahaha.”

This is a level that can be easily overlooked with a light laugh.

‘I don’t know if Kaya will go too.’

It’s probably difficult.

It is said that she is currently training hard under her parents due to career issues.

“Come back.”

Luce rested her chin and looked at me intently.

The glow of the sunset fell on her gentle smile.

“Isaac, you worked hard, so you should have fun.”

“Okay, well…” .”

I don’t know why Luce was in an atmosphere of approval, but she decided to be grateful.

……

Tomorrow was the reunion day.

I was planning to spend three days at Marchen Academy, so I decided to leave today.

I wanted to see White for the first time in a long time, and I also wanted to see the Academy.

“What about the carriage?”

“I’m not riding. “I’m going to go normally.”

He answered Dorothy’s question with a smile when he was seen off with his subjects.

‘If you take a carriage, you have to have a guard with you, it takes a long time to get there, and it’s annoying….’

At first, Grandmaster Rishad tried to attach me to the Frost Knight Morkan, saying it would damage my dignity, but I flatly refused.

I just wanted to go as an ordinary graduate. This was also the reason why he deliberately wore neat clothes for going out.

‘Shall we go?’

He put on the felt hat on his head and summoned a means of transportation.

“Hild.”

Whaaa!!

An intense blue light emitted from the wrist, white jade magic gathered in the air, and a white dragon was summoned.

The hem of the robe fluttered wildly in the cold gale.

Thump. Ice Snow Dragon-Hild landed on the ground, showing off his majesty.

“I also ask for the academy.”

[Leave it to me.]

I quickly jumped up and got on the ice and snow dragon’s back.

Charak! I roughly used ice magic to secure my luggage bag next to me.

“I’ll be back!”

As I smiled and greeted the people who came to see me off, the ice and snow dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Pretty light powder like snowflakes was scattered everywhere.

Soon, the ice and snow dragon spewed out blue magic power from his wings like a driving force and quickly flew towards the academy.

‘I like it because it’s fast.’

I am now used to the strong air resistance. It was just cool.

[Owner.]

“Why?”

While crossing the sky, an ice and snow dragon spoke to me.

[If you go to the academy, do you plan to meet White first?]

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes. “That’s why I’m going a day earlier than the reunion day.”

[Hmm….]

“What’s wrong?”

I think he’s dissatisfied with something.

Fortunately, Ice and Snow Dragon revealed his true feelings without hesitation.

[I believe that the owner spends very little time playing with me these days…. The owner has finally been freed from his heavy duties and has some free time, but this time he doesn’t want to stay at the academy? Otherwise, I think I’ll get really bored again, but I don’t know what to do about it.]

“I haven’t been able to pay attention these days…. But why do you always seem bored?”

[The word ‘boring’ is preceded by ‘extremely’. I hope you take it seriously.]

The ice and snow dragon grumbled in a calm tone like a noble young lady.

“Um….”

Now that I think about it, I don’t remember petting an ice and snow dragon recently. He must have been waiting impatiently for my touch.

It was just a shame.

From where he was sitting, he lowered his upper body and gently stroked the ice and snow dragon’s back.

[hehehehe….]

An ice and snow dragon reflexively laughing.

The guy quickly stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

[Did you think you would like it if I pet you just now?]

“I’ll pet you more later. “Then is it okay?”

[…] There is no objection.]

A mysterious laughter quietly flowed from the corner of the ice and snow dragon’s large mouth.

Soon, the ice and snow dragon reached the end of the bridge leading to Marchen Academy.

The logistics workers passing by with the carriage and the guards guarding the security station looked at me, their eyes wide and their mouths gaping, as if time had stopped.

It was a natural reaction. To the general public, Ice Dragon-Hilde must be very intimidating.

Cow! When the ice and snow dragon landed on the ground, I easily got off of it.

“Thank you.”

[Thank you, I hope you can pet me later….]

Any amount.

When I responded with a smile and stroked the ice and snow dragon’s head, it smiled expectantly and was reverse summoned.

“… Huh?”

The heavy gazes of passers-by greeted me.

……

“Graduates can come and go at any time. All you have to do is hang this in a visible place.”

I received a name tag from a guard. It was granted to guests who were permitted to enter.

After writing down that I planned to stay at the academy for three days, I entered the campus.

‘It must be the middle of the second semester.’

Märchen Academy had a closed educational policy, blocking entry to outside guests during the semester until I was in my second year, but has now changed to a moderately open form.

Thanks to this, a new system was established to allow entry under certain conditions even during the semester.

He wore a felt hat. I would feel uncomfortable if students passing by on the street recognized me.

‘Bartos Hall…. ‘There it is.’

The first place we headed to was the Bartosu Building, which boasts a neat exterior. It was once a place where an evil spirit was resurrected, and is now a newly built building.

I visited there and found the academic office.

“I am a graduate. “I would like to attend class.”

He handed the graduation certificate to the faculty member and said.

As an A Class graduate, I would have been qualified to attend some A Class classes.

I would have a free pass on anything if I used the emperor’s power, but I didn’t want to do that while I was here as a graduate.

“Yes, wait a moment…” .”

The faculty member answered in a businesslike tone, looked at my diploma, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

A faculty member lifted his head and looked at my face.

She immediately got down from her chair, knelt down on one knee, and bowed her head.

“My Majesty, meet you!”

I still feel uncomfortable when people call me by the title “Your Majesty” And make a fuss. It was a problem that I had to quickly get used to.

I smiled softly.

“I just came as a graduate. Please keep your head up and do your job.”

“Yes, yes!”

The staff member quickly sat back down in her seat.

“Which class will you attend?” ?”

“3Rd year A class in the Department of Magic.”

“Yes… ! Your qualifications have been confirmed.”

The faculty member used telekinesis to move several quills to quickly complete the task, then handed me an ‘Observer’ name tag.

I hung it on my chest.

“The next class for the 3rd year A class of the Department of Magic is… It’s a joint practice with first-year students. “You can go here.”

A faculty member used telekinesis to lift a pen and point to a location on the academy map.

‘It’s a joint practice with first graders…’ .’

I know what it is.

I rarely took academy classes due to special treatment in my third year, but I still remember playing .

The class was a practical class in which a third-year Class A student or an honors student from Class B served as an example and guide for the first-year students. In fact, it was safe to say that it was a first-year class.

“Okay then.”

“I hope you have a good time!”

After saying hello politely, I left the office.

‘You’ll be surprised to see White come out, right?’

The corners of his mouth rose.

White, who was also my mentee and student, entered the A class in his third year. How amazing is this….

She was very excited to see what a great honor student she would become.

‘I want to see you soon.’

I wore a fedora and walked down the street. Thanks to this, students wearing school uniforms passing by didn’t seem to recognize who I was. It seems like they just treat it as a guest from outside.

But as I glanced at them, many students were squinting at me. In particular, I could feel the gaze of the female students filled with rational goodwill. It’s probably because of his well-developed body thanks to [Body Training Efficiency].

I ignored it and accelerated my steps towards my destination.

“Did you say Princess Snow White would demonstrate today?”

“I heard so.”

A time when there were many students walking down the street wearing magic school capes.

I suddenly heard the name ‘White’ from some female students.

‘It looks like the kids here are all first graders.’

I figured out her grade by looking at the red brooch attached to the ribbon.

The path I was taking seemed to be the same, so I walked behind the girls who intentionally mentioned White at a reasonable distance and overheard their conversation.

“Hmm, is it okay for me to appreciate the wind magic of someone as noble as Princess White with my puny eyes? Is that really okay!?”

“Don’t make a fuss….”

“Are you making a fuss? Our Princess Snow White, she is beautiful, has overwhelming charisma, is very intelligent, and has a very high level of magic…. Should I say that I would fall in love with her even though she was a woman… ? Anyway, that’s the kind of person you are!”

“Okay, okay…” .”

“Ha, I’m nervous…. I’m happy because it’s a wind attribute… !”

Passionate. Is this girl like an otaku?

Although I heard words that did not fit White’s appearance, White seemed to be respected by her juniors in her own way.

Other students were also mentioning the names of third-year Class A students such as White and Miya.

Suddenly, the time when she was teaching White and her mentoring class came into her mind, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

* * *

“As you all know, today we will be conducting a joint practice with the most skilled seniors among the third graders. “We will deal with wind elemental magic here.”

Training ground.

The professor pointed behind himself.

“The target is a specially constructed structure over there. Very solid. Moreover, what needs to be adjusted is the minute gap in the structure. This is difficult unless you have excellent magic control skills. Before you try it yourself, your Class A senior will give a demonstration, so watch carefully and refer to it. Snowwhite, forward.”

At the professor’s call, a female student with pure white hair entered the training space.

Her cool-headed yet haughty face was overflowing with a graceful and noble elegance.

The upright back and powerful steps seemed like evidence of great confidence.

Both male and female students looked at the demonstration student with admiring eyes.

“You’re cool, Senior White…” . Charisma is crazy….”

“Oh my….”

“How can you be so beautiful? .”

Poof. The demonstration student lightly moved her hand and elegantly brushed her hair once.

An exclamation came out from the mouths of the first-year students who saw this.

As expected, she looked like the princess of this country and the academy’s highest honors student.

3Rd year, Class A, Magic Department, Snow White.

She stood next to the professor.

“This student is Snowwhite, a third-year Class A student and one of the top students in the Faculty of Magic. This student’s wind magic will become an exemplary form of wind magic that you will achieve in the future. What I’m saying is that you should refer to it like a textbook. Everyone, stay focused and watch closely. White, ready.”

“Oh my….”

White sighs softly.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Because it looks too easy.”

White shrugged her shoulders.

That triumphant attitude appeared to be the composure of a master in the eyes of first-year students.

“Well, it might be too simple for you…. “Let me demonstrate first.”

“Yes, whatever.”

White raised her arms towards her training area, coiling her magic towards her specially crafted target.

Wheewoo! Light green wind magic swirled. The first-year students who were watching were amazed as they felt the high density of magical energy.

“Wow….”

“Amazing….”

Goosebumps appeared all over the first year students’ bodies. With their exclamations flowing through the air, White deployed her wind attribute magic circle.

Every single stroke engraved on the magic circle was extremely elaborate. It was a combination of strokes that most first-year students couldn’t even think of constructing.

Although a high level of mana control was probably required, White simply remained calm.

“Heh.”

I just smile leisurely.

“Kyaaa!”

“Did you hear me laughing just now? Awesome… !”

“Look at that space. If the stroke composition was that detailed, it would be difficult to use magic power… ! Amazing!”

The first year students were full of excitement. White was very good at pointing out the attractive points of her juniors.

Meanwhile, White was absorbed in her own magic.

‘Are you just admiring me this much?’

This is once she doesn’t have to worry about her mentor, Isaac, the strongest man in the world.

White wanted to be seen as sophisticated and charismatic like senior Luce.

If Isaac and Luce, who know her true self, saw this, they would probably want to hide in a mouse hole, but haven’t they already graduated? There was absolutely no need to worry about anyone.

Furthermore, he is a person who has achieved tremendous achievements to the point of entering the A class.

Crybaby White, who was once at the bottom of the D class, became a victim of the passage of time and was buried in the dark past.

There was absolutely no problem with improving her own image.

‘Have I become too cool?’

So the current Academy is a white world.

He was no different from the main character.

… It was then.

“Hey. Cool, White!”

“… Huh?”

Amid the exclamations of countless first-year students, a somewhat familiar voice was heard.

White instinctively opened her eyes wide and turned her head back without realizing it.

Beyond the students, in the very back seat behind her, a man not wearing a school uniform was watching White with a wide smile.

White, seeing him, swallowed his breath.

“Ah.”

He didn’t know that White would notice him, so he kept his mouth shut.

White was so amazing that her praise for her came out without her realizing it.

I thought I would be buried in the cheers of first-year students. He considered himself complacent.

But time could not be turned back. His existence has already been discovered by White.

“Ah, Senior Isaac… ? Why here… ?”

He is an unprecedented grand wizard in history and a senior mentor to White.

It was Isaac.

“Oh… !”

White felt heat rising to her head. A strong feeling of skepticism and shame came to me over time as I used to be proud of myself.

The days when I cried pathetically while being taught by Isaac one after another flashed through my mind.

White’s confident, cool-headed expression and concentration on using his magical powers collapsed in an instant.

Wheewooung….

The wind magic dissipated helplessly, and silence fell in the training room.

The first-year students looked at White with suspicious expressions.

“Ugh… ?”

He was so surprised that an awkward exclamation slipped out of White’s mouth.

It was the moment when the form of the top honors student, who had maintained his best, collapsed.
