The students immediately started whispering.
“D-did you hear? “I heard Master Klein copied the spell?”
“No way… I’m so sorry about Marquis Minerva’s performance.”
“But that doesn’t mean Mr. Ruid is wrong.”
‘If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have said anything.’
Ruid’s eyes were special. It was clearly visible what the person’s magic threshold was and what his or her current magical achievements were.
Klein’s magical power is exactly that of a 4th rank.
However, his current level is 3rd rank.
In other words, Klein Minerva does not have the talent for ‘theory’. In short, my magical mind is not good.
In the first place, if he had 5th rank theoretical skills, he would not have lost his successor position to 5-year-old Hersi.
That’s why Ruid was confident. That he copied.
“What do you mean… Confucius? “I didn’t copy anyone’s magic circle.”
“You’re not good enough.”
“…Of course, my magic skills are weaker than Confucius’s. However, I have not lived a life worthy of being ignored like this. Copying. “I am Minerva.”
Klein’s tone showed anger.
Hercy opened her eyes like a rabbit and looked at Klein and Luid alternately.
“Then you can answer all my questions.”
“…of course.”
Ruid held up a piece of paper with a magic circle written on it with a bored expression.
Klein swallowed dry saliva.
“This magic circle is great. Absolutely flawless. In reality, it is the power of a 4th rank wizard, but it was made so that a 3rd rank wizard can use it. Klein Minerva. Anyone with at least four skills can operate it. It’s very difficult. But you did this yourself.”
I could tell with certainty that Ruidya Klein’s skills were visible, but the others had no choice but to be hooked.
Rather, there was a high possibility that Klein Minerva had excellent magical talent. The level of this magic circle cannot be said to be revolutionary.
It must have been quite meticulous to prepare a magic circle that could show off sufficiently outstanding skills while being reasonably acceptable.
Just because your magical intelligence is low doesn’t mean your intelligence is low.
“…In the end, it is a third-tier magic. I don’t know anything else, but even Confucius wouldn’t be able to bear it if he copied the magic circle he made all night long. Please apologize.”
“To create a magic circle of this size, no matter how talented you are, you have to be a 5th rank wizard. In fact, the 5th rank was set to the minimum. “This is better magic than you think, Klein.”
“From earlier, Confucius was making one mistake.”
Klein’s voice was full of resentment.
The arm holding the desk was also trembling. It was the typical attitude of an aristocrat who could not bear to be insulted.
“Why do you assume my magic theory skills are below average? As Confucius said, my magic skills officially registered at the Academy are 3rd level. However, I can confidently say that my magic theory skills are much higher than the third level.”
Humans are animals of emotions.
Klein’s acting of going crazy because he was unfairly treated was perfect, and the students actually thought this too.
-Prince Ruid is making conclusions and selling too much.
Klein spoke to Phenicia with a very resentful expression.
“professor. Don’t you know best, professor? Didn’t you call me separately last time and say that my theoretical abilities are quite good? Please… please clear up my misunderstanding.”
Phenicia looked embarrassed.
As a professor of magic theory, of course he knows exactly the level of his students.
She spoke cautiously.
“I… Confucius. Although it may be pretentious, Student Klein’s magic theory skills are not insignificant. On the contrary, it is very outstanding.”
“Confucius. “Please ask me anything about that magic circle.”
“Then what?”
Ruid spoke in a drowsy voice. Handing over a blank piece of paper.
“Draw the same magic circle you submitted.”
“of course.”
Klein confidently took the paper and drew a magic circle.
Not long after, Klein completed the magic circle. Ruid accepted it with an indifferent expression.
“It’s perfect. “I practiced a lot.”
“thank you.”
Ruid put down the magic circle he received and looked at the existing magic circle and said.
“But it’s different.”
Klein said with a confident face.
“Of course. The magic circle submitted was created with great effort in the workshop. However, since I just drew it as quickly as possible, it is inevitable that the quality will be lower than what I submitted.”
At this point, Klein thinks.
He said the flow had passed to him.
Advice from the professor in charge. And Ruid’s tightly closed face. Klein looked perplexed.
‘No matter how genius he is, he doesn’t seem to be used to dealing with people.’
But putting more pressure on yourself is at your own risk.
It is common sense that there is nothing good about losing to the Windsor family.
Rather, he decided to use this opportunity to become acquainted with Prince Louis.
To be generous. There is no better condition than that to become friends with people.
“…But I’m glad. The fact that Prince Louis said such a thing means that I did a good job. “I will take this as encouragement and move on.”
“young woman.”
“yes?”
“Considering that they don’t have unique magic, they are probably commoners. Shy personality. Low self-esteem compared to ability. A mentally deficient person. Typical symptoms of depression.”
A magic circle is also a shape.
There are countless cases, and the drawing methods are all different.
Ruid was good at reading people’s psychology through pictures.
This was not ‘lazy Ruid’s’ ability, but rather his own ability.
That’s right, because it was a psychology department.
“First of all, the person who created this magic circle was not a member of the Minerva family.”
But this is not enough. No one can understand it. Solid evidence had to be presented.
Ruid infused magical energy into the magic circle that Klein had just created.
“…uh?”
The lines of the magic circle were dyed the color of emerald. It was the natural color symbolizing Minerva.
This time, I infused magical power into the magic circle I originally submitted. OK-
“…!”
It was dyed orange.
People couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Uh, how…?”
Magic power is a fingerprint.
The color that appears varies depending on the blood flowing.
Windsor is blue.
The imperial family is golden.
Minerva is emerald.
But what was surprising was that this magic circle was not drawn with magic, but with a pen.
If Prince Ruid had revealed the color of the magic circle, it would have been blue – but
it was impossible to come up with this color.
“It’s not my magic power. It’s just amplification of the magic contained in the magic circle. So, this shows the magical power of the person who drew the magic circle.”
The eyes that had been focused on the magic circle turned to Ruid.
“Kline Minerva. Why didn’t you draw the magic circle yourself?”
‘It’s a lie, though.’
No matter how much you are Ruid, you can’t do something that isn’t possible.
It was impossible to extract and display the magical power of a magic circle written with a ballpoint pen.
However, it wasn’t that difficult for Ruid to use magic to fake colors without anyone knowing.
In other words, this is just a production.
This is manipulation to achieve the desired result.
Ruid’s indifferent eyes looked at Klein.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that Irene would really like this choice of hers.
Amelia will be disappointed.
**
The treatment of Klein was left to Phenicia.
Phenicia indicated that there was a high probability that he would be expelled.
The funny thing was, cheating wasn’t a big problem.
What was really problematic was that he dared to ‘act deceitfully’ towards himself, who was the son of a duke and also a professor at the academy.
It is a great sin that cannot be denied.
‘I couldn’t really feel it because I was the first emperor, but looking at things like this, it really is a class system.’
Anyway, Hersey’s problem was solved by getting rid of Klein.
It wasn’t the best result, but I didn’t care.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take care of the empty space in your family? That was the thought.
“Phew, I need to rest for a while.”
This was a huge step forward.
Ruid already felt like he had changed from unemployed to human.
But was I running too hard with this small stride?
I was so tired that I wanted to sleep. It was time to decide to wallow for a few months.
“Yes, master.”
“huh?”
“I think you should go quickly.”
As I entered the mansion, Sherry came out to greet me.
“why?”
“…Your Majesty has arrived.”
Ruid turned around.
I had a gut feeling that it was going to be really annoying.
‘Could it be that you came here to ask me to pay for repairs to the imperial palace?’
There was something stinging!
“Yes, master. You’ve already been waiting for an hour. You’ve been waiting for me to come. “Amelia, your face is already bloodless.”
“….”
There was nothing I could do about it.
Although the emperor was close, he was clearly a superior.
“Why do you come here?”
Ruid had no choice but to enter the mansion.
When I went to the drawing room, the Emperor and Amelia were drinking tea facing each other.
Reinhardt was standing next to him like a wooden block.
Emperor Lucius, who discovered Ruid, smiled brightly.
“Luid. It’s been a while since I last saw you. Come on, sit down. “I was just waiting for you to lose your head.”
Ruid sat next to Amelia.
“Haha, it feels good to see the face of my beloved nephew after a long time.”
“Me too.”
“I should have packed it sooner. “It’s such a simple thing.”
‘Every time I see him, he seems more like the brother next door than the emperor.’
Ruid held a glass of warm milk and sipped it while thinking somewhat profane thoughts.
“Your Majesty, why have you come here?”
“Amelia always treats me coldly. “Don’t you like luggage?”
When the emperor spoke jokingly, Amelia hurriedly spoke.
“Well, that can’t be possible.”
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
The Emperor smiled warmly, then put down the tea and spoke somewhat seriously.
“The incident that occurred this time was Jim’s negligence.”
“….”
“I came here to apologize for that. “Luid, Amelia.”
Ruid had no ill feelings towards the emperor due to this incident.
Did you know he was the emperor? I never thought a Teutonic would do something like that.
“I don’t think your Majesty will apologize.”
Amelia seemed to be the same. I helped out because I didn’t want Ruid to think anything of it.
“I don’t think your Majesty is bad.”
“Then that’s a good thing. Really… even if I had a hundred mouths, I wouldn’t have anything to say. “I had always thought that skill was the most important, but it was an opportunity for me to realize why knights value chivalry so much.”
Lucius took a sip of tea.
“The Teutonic Knights were disbanded.”
Amelia and Ruid looked at each other and widened their eyes at the fact that they did not know.
‘The Teutons were disbanded?’
However, Ruid was surprised in a different way.
Doesn’t that mean that the key to doing something in the climax has disappeared?
Regardless of the original story, it was hard to believe that a group with such great power could disappear so easily.
“So, can you do me a favor? “You can refuse.”
Luid and Amelia nodded at the same time.
Lucius said with a gentle smile.
“I plan to entrust the creation of a new knighthood to you two. Of course, it’s not free. “I will give you the right to use the Order as you wish while you remain in the system.”
