chapter 14
14 – Now, I want the same cadets to be polite.
“Ha… I don’t know where you heard it, but it’s true. I’m going to transfer to the first year of the academy.”
Feeling that there was no turning back, I decided to just reveal the truth.
Since she had the status of a princess and told me about her transfer to my academy, it would be more difficult to deal with it if she lied about it.
Because it was the truth in the first place, there wasn’t even a hole through which to escape.
I was a little worried about the aftermath, but there was no better option in the yard like this.
“Ha, ha… like you What the hell have you done? After all, you are a demon… Suck… !”
Still, the princess must have been aware that if I revealed the fact that I was a foreigner who failed to summon her hero, she wouldn’t do it. She looked at the other cadets around her and shut her mouth.
Perhaps she didn’t think of me, but she thought of herself or the authority of the imperial family.
“Anyway, how does a slave like you become an academy student?”
“It is difficult to explain right away, and if you are curious, you can ask the information provider who provided the information. There would be no need for the princess to mix words with such a lowly slave.”
After the lecture, the attention of the cadets from one or two classes is focused.
It seemed like the cadets still couldn’t accurately grasp the context of the conversation between me and the princess, but
Still, they all watched us with bated breath, probably feeling that something was not serious.
“Are you trying to play puns with me? Come on, answer me! Otherwise… !”
I don’t know where he came from, but I couldn’t stand it any longer.
In the first place, the author called the princess is not following the rules of the academy to harass one of her slaves.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t keep the order that slaves should finish their work and disappear before the lecture time was over.
That said, in the middle of the hallway where so many cadets had gathered.
I wonder if this is the culture that the princess should show.
And most of all, she felt so pathetic, stupid, and disgusted with the princess who acted like that even though she knew she would be an academy cadet in the future.
Turup
“Ooh, woo-boop… ?!”
In the end, I couldn’t stand it, and I held the princess’ soft face with one hand, with her hand smeared with dust, her hair, and the soup from her rag.
Thanks to that, the princess’s cheeks were pressed and her lips were drawn together, making her look pretty cute, but the only emotion I felt at her cute face was negative.
“So. I can’t tell. Princess. Why do you ask a slave what you don’t know? And,”
The princess didn’t even think that I would do something like this. She didn’t shake my hand and stayed still.
Her white skin was getting messy from my dirty hands, but she didn’t seem to notice that either.
Of course, all of that was very pleasant to me.
So,
“Now, do you want the same cadets to be polite?”
“No, nothing… moore… !!”
– There! What are you doing!
Grab!
Just in time, the professor’s voice came from afar.
Along with that, the princess shook off my dirty hands, and she couldn’t speak properly, as if she had been eaten up by anger, and only her mouth was pursed.
“What is this… Everyone back to class! You two follow me. No, Ian. You should sort them out first and then come.”
Fortunately, the professor who appeared was Professor Lydia, who was aware of the situation.
She seemed to have roughly predicted the situation based on the unfolded information, and she quickly organized the situation.
As she said, I organized the cleaning tools and lifted them up, holding them as if brushing past the princess.
The soup was still running down her bewildered face.
***
“Cadet Yulia already knows what kind of situation Lee Ahn is in, so I will tell you openly.”
Princess Yulia is also one of the few people who know about my identity.
Professor Lydia briefly explained my transfer to the academy.
“This, this man… You said you calculated the contest magic, are you telling me to believe that right now, Professor?”
“It’s hard to believe, but… Other than that, there is no other possibility. I have already completed the handwriting evaluation. If that’s not the case, do you want to say that cadet Yulia exists at the academy that can calculate the magic circle in that short time?”
“That, that’s not it… “
When I thought logically, it was correct to assume that the contest problem was calculated by myself.
Among the academy cadets, no cadets have reached that level yet, so that was the only realistic explanation possible.
It was unrealistic that I calculated the magic circle, but it was realistic that I submitted the answer.
However, if the opponent was a serious paranoid, there was a possibility that the reality would also be denied.
“However, I cannot admit it. As you know, Lee is a failed summoner who appeared in the summoning circle of warriors.”
“That’s why the academy believes in Lee An-goon’s potential even more. Because he has the potential to become a hero.”
“No. I think differently.”
I really wanted to slap him on the cheek when he spoke with his head stiffly raised as if he was proud.
I wanted to say a word to her, who denied her situation until the end, but for now, I just wanted to hear what nonsense she would say.
“As you know, the summoning magic was perfect. However, from such summoning magic, a hanryang without any ability like this appeared. If so, we also had in mind the possibility that there was someone who skillfully interfered with the magic during the summoning process.”
“There could have been a trick from the demons… What is it like? Cadet Yulia.”
“That’s right. As a result of the investigation, no evil power to speak of was found in him, nor any strong ability to be possessed as a warrior. Therefore, the imperial family decided to dispose of him after concluding that he was an ordinary alien who fell victim to the scheme of evil beings, such as demons.”
Sacrifice is bullsh*t.
I still can’t forget the eyes of the people in the imperial palace who looked at me with disgust.
If you thought of me as such an ordinary alien, the look in your eyes you would never have seen.
Those disgusting voices who blamed me for their faults and drove me to be a wicked person who had nothing to do with the demons.
If you really thought of me as an ordinary alien who was sacrificed, you wouldn’t have sold me as a slave in the first place.
Under common sense, you should have compensated for your life, at least a little bit.
The fact that they sold me into slavery like this shows how they treated me.
But you still pretend to be classy like that. It was just disgusting to see her trying to protect her dignity somehow.
“Then isn’t there anything more problematic, Cadet Yulia? He is actually a foreigner with a natural talent for magic. And according to his words, even a slave could easily calculate a magic circle like this in the world he lived in. If so, it would be reasonable to assume that he learned magic while living at the academy.”
“No. My opinion is different. What is magic, the calculation of the magic circle. You know very well how profound and complicated the process is.”
“Yes.”
“And everywhere you look, this man is just a normal human being just like us. Even if the level of that world is high, do you think that slaves can perform such difficult calculations? Do you think it makes sense for such a being to be a slave?”
“That… surely… “
It doesn’t make sense, why not? I am a living witness!
“As I said before, magic did not exist in the world I lived in. However, in terms of numbers, it was much more advanced than this world, so most people are proficient in the act of ‘calculation’.”
“Even with that said, it is hard to believe that ordinary humans, no different from us, have such outstanding abilities. When the imperial family investigated, the result was, as you know, an ordinary human without any abilities. There was no evidence that his intelligence was exceptional either.”
‘No sh*t, that’s because you guys don’t know calculus! You guys are sick! It’s weird that you guys make this easy calculation so difficult!!’
The princess tried to put me down somehow.
It was really disgusting to see you package up and say things that have no solid basis as if they were the truth.
However, I couldn’t find anything to refute right away because I couldn’t provide evidence for the previous world either.
In this world’s common sense, it was virtually impossible to simply calculate 5th tier magic.
Professor Lydia, a person from this world, also seemed to think that the princess’s words were valid to some extent.
“So the conclusion I came to is this. One of the possibilities that the imperial family assumed. It is true that he has no abilities, but at the same time he is the devil’s helper.”
“It’s the devil’s helper… ?”
“Yes. The demons knew that if they went out on their own, their identities would surely be revealed, so they put this man without any characteristics as their summoner.
By doing so, they obstructed the future of the continent without revealing their identity. The event of the contest also makes sense if you think that the demons informed them of the calculation process of the magic circle.”
“No, what is that… “
“Hmm… “
It’s so nonsense that now I can’t even say anything.
To think I was colluding with the demons. No, what did the demons know about the contest in the first place?
What is the benefit of a slave solving competition problems?
“The demons must have expected this situation. It must be a plan to recognize him as a magical genius, get him into the academy, and steal information from the wizards of the continent.”
“A lot of nonsense… !”
“Sure… I can’t say the odds are zero. Of course, it’s a slim chance, but… Calculating the 5th tier magic by yourself in such a short time is also impossible.”
“Ha… ?”
Professor Lydia was also predicting the possibility of the princess’ words.
What’s more infuriating is that from the point of view of the people in the other world, you can’t completely ignore those words.
From their point of view, it would be more likely to think that I got the information from the demons than that an ordinary alien who knew nothing calculated the 5th tier magic at once.
This is not the world I used to live in, but a world where demons and magic actually exist,
Because I am a failed summoner who was summoned to such a world.
Of course, from my point of view, it was a story about bursting clothes.
“Summarizing, Cadet Yulia’s claim is that Lee An-goon is an ordinary alien with no abilities. However, the demons have a plan to use such an ordinary Ian-gun, and Ian-gun also agrees with it. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right. That is the part I wanted to talk about.”
“Ian-kun… Of course I’d say no.”
“This is nonsense. It’s so absurd that it makes no sense.”
Professor Lydia closed her eyes and seemed to organize her thoughts.
In my heart, I wanted to slap that arrogant princess right now, but I endured it because doing so would only lead to misunderstandings.
“… If so, let’s do this. I’m checking to see if Lee An-gun is really an ordinary person from the outside world, and he’s also the devil’s helper.”
“In what way?”
“In the next four days, the subjugation system will be held. I will have Ian-gun participate in it.”
“… Yes?”
Participate me in the subjugation?
That was a decision neither the princess nor I expected.
But since it was Professor Lydia who said that, she must have an idea.
“To put it all together, Ian-gun obtained information from the demons and only submitted answers to the contest, but he has no ability to actually use magic. Because the demons would have put up aliens with no abilities as summoners in order to keep their identities from being discovered.”
“… You’re right.”
The princess nodded with her stiff face at Professor Lydia’s explanation.
“If that’s the case, Lee An-gun doesn’t have any abilities, including magic, right now. It’s only been half a year since he was summoned. Is that correct?”
“… That is also correct.”
“If that’s the case, he won’t be able to even save his own life, let alone subdue monsters in the subjugation system. That’s why we look at Lee An-gun’s performance in the subjugation system and decide on his transfer. Because Ian-kun himself said that he can use up to 3rd tier magic now.”
It was not a bad suggestion.
In order for me to legitimately claim my incorporation, I had to prove that I was a magical genius from the outside world, not a big deal about magic.
And that proof was at the same time disproving that the princess’ claim that I was the helper of a demon tribe with no powers was false.
“But what if demons get involved in the middle of the subjugation? Then, isn’t it of no use?”
“In the subjugation system, Lee An-gun’s actions will be observed one by one by the faculty. If there is an intervention from the demons, there is no reason why we shouldn’t notice it.”
“That… but… “
The princess seemed to be thinking for a while.
However, she came back with a happy expression.
You probably thought that I would never be able to play an active part in the subjugation system.
“Okay. Let’s do that After all, he won’t be able to use level 0 magic properly, let alone exterminate monsters.”
“I agree. It would be easy if it was a subjugation held at the cadet level.”
The princess looked at me as if she was disgusted at my words, but I didn’t care.
You’ll find out soon anyway. Who was right
“Okay. Then let’s proceed like that.”
Wait and see, b*tch. Because it won’t go your way.
