I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 12

“Basic of wind, introduction to attribution, understanding of representative forms, theory of solutions that even 10-year-olds can understand. It’s four, right?”

“… … yes.”

It seems like I’ve asked you not to recite it one by one before, but it seems that it won’t be of much use this time, seeing how it looks.

“This is the next step?”

“I know. These are the books I use when learning 2 stars.”

“Are you done with the theory already?”

Even if you avoid conspicuous times, onlookers will inevitably join you if you want to go back and forth to a high-traffic place like the library.

Now that I’ve only mastered the first star of wind magic, it’s time to learn the second star.

“There, boys.”

“Yes Yes? us?”

I called the students who had been hiding behind the bookshelves and spying on me.

Even as a freshman, commoners treat me with respect. These were faces I had seen several times in the classroom.

“I have a question.”

“four! Uh, you can say anything.”

“How long will it take for a wizard who has just mastered 1-star wind magic to reach 2-star with these books?”

“Aha, I was trying to teach someone else.”

no, that’s my story

It seemed that they were not considering the possibility that Rocktrin was a 1-star.

“Well, they are all famous.”

“Still, if you work hard at 2 stars, it’s about a year. It took me a year and a half.”

“I’m in my second year!”

“I see. Thanks for letting me know.”

“You can ask me any time! It’s always in the library.”

Unfortunately.

I haven’t been to the library for a while.

I washed my face as soon as I brought the borrowed book into the room. My mind went blank.

what, two years?

‘The game is almost over in two years?’

Most students stay at 2 or 3 stars. If I had to average that achievement, that would be about 2.5 stars.

However, in this worldview, a child with a talent for magic begins to learn magic from the age of ten.

It was comforting that at a younger age they were encouraged not to learn magic.

Because the body must have grown enough to accept the movement of magical power.

“Are you of no help for the rest of your life, you?”

He muttered lamentably at his smooth face in the mirror.

In other words, there is a six-year gap between me and the other students. Even the 1-star wind magic that I had barely mastered, I did it from the bottom with nothing.

Still, if there’s something to look forward to, it’s that it didn’t take as long as others.

‘Because there are a few things I’ve conceived.’

Some of the theories briefly appearing in the script were conceived by myself, so it’s easy to understand.

According to the ‘Introduction to Basic Magical Science’ that I borrowed from the library for the first time, it took several months for a person with no knowledge of magic to accept any of the three elements of magic.

If that were true, the night raid episode wouldn’t even have progressed properly.

It took me two weeks to understand all the basic theory. I did get a little less sleep.

After that, I just practiced dying.

‘It’s getting better and better.’

There seems to be no law to die like that.

Even reading was slow at first.

I had never felt so frustrated with turning a page of a book, sluggish like a sluggish cow. Now, to some extent, speed reading is possible.

Caught a little bit

I feel that my natural talent, not a rock screen, is reviving.

I don’t know if I should call this adaptation.

“Two months.”

It’s good to say your decision out loud. But it’s a good decision, it’s like a time limit.

In June, the third episode with midterm exams needs to be at least 2 stars to go ahead as planned.

That is the theme of the second episode in the first place. given a lot of time.

[CURRENT EPISODE]

II. prematurity

1. Natural talent

: ‘There are few cases of failure due to lack of wisdom. There is a saying that ‘what is lacking is sincerity’… … .

There was nothing more to read.

It is an episode that tells you to adapt to life at the academy by going through events like this and that.

There is no clear reward for this.

Instead, no matter how bad the main characters are here, they reach a level where there are only four stars among freshmen. Because that’s the main character.

“I’m Rockstrin.”

innate talent? none.

It is late maturation, not prematurity.

It’s not even a game that just picks a few options and goes through a few scripts, and a month or two goes by in a flash, and it’s not like “Rocktrin has reached 4 stars!” It’s a reality.

“Ehh.”

What difference does complaining make?

I pulled up a chair in front of the desk and sat down. There are about 70 days until midterm exams, and you have to make the most of it.

“What is so thick?”

It was twice the level of the basic theory.

Fortunately, except for the process of reading this old-fashioned theoretical book, learning magic itself is fun.

It’s strange to see magic wriggling that I’ve never felt before in my life. In the first place, such as spewing fire from a hand, or something that could only be imagined on Earth, becomes a reality here.

“The only thing I can do is kill them all.”

In ＜Academy Summer Turge＞, magic has been thoroughly developed as a weapon for survival.

No matter how noble a science is, there is no reason to accept it as difficult because the fundamentals are simple.

‘Wind is freedom, self-indulgence, unfettered flow, and escape from the predestined future.’

I put my chin on my chin and turned the bookshelves one by one.

A single reading will grasp the overall flow.

Remember titles and subtitles, repeated sentence structures or key words, and draw abstract images.

The author’s subjectivity is always hidden in the structure of a paragraph and in each investigation in a sentence. Sentences you want to emphasize stand out.

[Since wind has no form, it is difficult to clearly concretize the concept. So if you look at the form of the example… … .]

As the night deepened and dawn came, only the sound of turning the pages of books continued in my room.

“Look there, Maria. Rox has dead eyes again.”

A concession stand in Somerset.

Children whose sleep patterns are arbitrary often miss meal times.

That’s why there are many days when I visit the canteen in the late afternoon, and every time I do so, I secretly run into Rocktrin.

“When I was training, I often looked at my teammates like that.”

“What kind of training was it?”

“It was training without sleep.”

“Do you need something like that?”

“I don’t judge needs.”

Just do it if you do

It’s a very special case of a child, so they walk the campus side by side like this, but originally, being an attendant of the imperial family is an extremely heavy position.

It is disrespectful to open one’s mouth other than to answer, and even a trivial mistake or clumsy movement can lead to disqualification.

Until Maria became like this, there was a child’s effort.

“During the training I went through… … It was arguably the most terrifying.”

I still remember it vividly.

It was a nightmare.

‘Only one. don’t fall asleep That’s all.’

At first glance, it sounded simple.

Surprisingly, he didn’t ask for anything other than that. They could enjoy the best food prepared by the chefs of the imperial family every day.

Maria, as the direct bodyguard of the imperial family, has undergone training at a level of difficulty that is different from that of any brave knights.

These are the days endured in the pit of hell. At that point, I was confident that I wouldn’t give in to Maria or her friends or anything else.

“It was also the last training session.”

“Did you pass?”

“It was a chin-up.”

Sleep is the most fundamental need along with appetite. Everyone overlooked it.

Those who have endured well in the training to control their appetite, so it would be different if they just reduced their sleep.

“This body, in fact, is not wholly mine. For example, it is possible to starve to death by refusing to eat, but wouldn’t it be an idiot to call out to the beating heart to stop?”

“I don’t know why you only think of suicide, but that makes sense.”

“In that respect, sleep was the most vicious need.”

Even a trader who lightly lifts a thousand pounds has no way to deal with the weight of his eyelids.

Even a person with the will of an iron man will lose his mind and become an idiot after five days.

After seven days, no one remained sane. I stopped thinking, I stopped moving, and I focused on just being conscious.

I barely endured it.

“Anyway, Rox hasn’t been sleeping for days now?”

“Yes. For at least four days, as far as I can see with my own eyes—”

“Rox!”

It seems that an unapproachable darkness hangs over that dry face, but Roxtrin’s head turns to the child who runs away waving his arms vigorously.

comes alive slowly Light shines in your blue eyes. It was obvious to Maria.

So you can rest assured.

He undoubtedly values Her Highness. More than just worrying about the safety of my body.

‘why?’

There was no easy answer to that.

Even the most loyal knight, who devoted his body and soul to his lord at birth, did a difficult job. That boy is so happy.

It is an eccentricity that can never be accomplished with clumsy emotions such as love.

“You stop by too often in shabby places.”

“What are you eating? Is that delicious?”

“This one? Not tasty. Please don’t eat my Highness – no, don’t take it away. I bought it with my own money.”

“Mum-mum. After that, I’m going to go to the middle of the day (but why do you eat something like this)?”

“I feel like it’s just my situation that I don’t sell and remain miserable all the time… … .”

“Ah, I’m reading a book here too! Yesterday, while walking, I saw everyone who fell down and scraped their knees!”

“It was 8 o’clock in the evening, how do you know that? Please go to bed early. I am not tall.”

The smile didn’t leave Rockstryn’s face the whole time they talked.

It is said that he is a child who makes people around him laugh because of his overflowing energy, but this time the case was different.

“If you just look at it, you look like the old Obamas.”

“Please don’t go anywhere and say things like that.”

“Ooh, Rocks is a nag.”

Watching the two of them from afar can give you that kind of illusion at first glance.

Isn’t it like father and daughter?

If you look at it that way, Rocktrin’s was infinitely close to fatherly love. Surprisingly, if you think that way, all your actions will match.

Of course this is nonsense. They’re both the same age.

“It’s cold, but he wears all the buttons on his robe. How come he rolled up his head and ran away?”

“Wow, how did you know? That’s why Hira often did it.”

“Oh, well. Yes.”

The hand that inadvertently tried to place it on the child’s head hesitated. If there was even a hint of malice or selfishness, Maria would have stopped it right away.

It wasn’t.

“I can’t do that, so please call an attendant.”

“Maria knows how to wield a knife, but she can’t touch her hair. Is not it?”

Only then did Maria approach the child. He was not good at touching his hair, so he decided to button up instead.

“Wouldn’t it be better to stop sleeping?”

While buttoning up the child’s sleeve, Maria spoke first. It was a warning.

Rockstrin replied calmly.

“Do you have a lot of tea?”

“Not really.”

“Yeah, I think I’m fine!”

You won’t know unless you look carefully.

Bloodshot eyes, dark shadows, heavily contracted facial muscles. It cleverly hides everything with its peak appearance.

“… … Yes. Fortunately, the.”

Good thing.

Even though I say worrying things to Ai-nim every time, on the contrary, I can hide my tiredness enough so that Ai-nim doesn’t worry about me?

“I’ll just go back.”

“Aren’t you going to the tower?”

“I have to return the book.”

That way, Rockstrin made his way out of the concession stand.

It was a precarious step.

“Maria.”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that dangerous though?”

“It is very dangerous. It was an imprudent statement. The world is wide.”

“The Rocks are unusual.”

I’m overdoing it.

It’s not a story that will simply end there, but I’m engrossed enough to burn my life. It’s not like he doesn’t even know that.

That’s the most dangerous thing you know. What Maria said just a few minutes ago was wrong.

“He is in control.”

Rockstrin of its own volition.

He was the one who could stop my heart.
