chapter 4
Episode 4
‘This year, the new students are excellent.’
‘Yes. Those who reach 4 stars are called four. But that, Meiji asked me to find out… … .’
‘Rockstrin.’
In the dust of the battlefield, he lived a life far from nurturing younger students, but Kanin had only one disciple.
Coltman Aindar Locke.
It’s a prestigious family recognized by everyone, so it wouldn’t matter if I learned from my father.
He came to the Confederate Front, the exact opposite of Gu Tae-yeo’s territory, to find himself. At first, of course, I tried to refuse.
‘I will not leave.’
Coltman was a genius.
Kanin was a person who was very concerned about the safety of the country, and he taught Coltman for three years because he could not bear to rot his brilliant talent.
That cheeky face is still good in my eyes.
Deep blue eyes that seemed to say ‘You have no choice but to teach me’.
That was already 15 years ago.
‘Yes, that Rockstrin Aindarok. No matter how you look at it, it’s normal.’
‘Is it normal?’
‘It’s nice to say. It means that the descendants of the Aindarroch family for generations have had the worst results on the Summer Turge entrance exam.’
‘is it.’
‘Is God really fair?’
There is no law that a son will necessarily resemble his father, but Kanin regretted it in his heart.
Northern Wall.
The former head of the Aindarroch family passed away early, so the weight Coltman was carrying was heavy. There won’t be time to be away otherwise.
But the story is different when it comes to that child.
Coltman is still young, and there is plenty of time for his son, Loxtrin, to grow up to become a full-fledged wizard.
In addition to her mysterious appearance, the public’s expectations, especially the expectations of the Magic Society, reached their climax.
‘Don’t make fun of me hastily.’
‘Of course.’
‘It means that I shouldn’t have heard it either. It’s just a guest lecturer.’
‘Ah, an instructor! It’s not fair.’
Somerset’s admissions records are kept confidential. Kanin lightly scolded the professor for bringing the information.
“The barracks went quiet in less than 10 minutes.”
again,
The large lecture hall became as quiet as a dead mouse.
If Yurain’s orientation was forced silence, this is voluntary.
He didn’t even need a single drop of magic.

Just talking, it made the unruly children shut up.
“… … okay.”
Kanin was also speechless for a long time.
Although partly intentional, what Roxtrin saw was far more catastrophic.
It was sad, but also happy. If the professor he had scolded was by his side, he would have been unable to learn without telling him.
‘Did God say fair?’
A bloody laugh came out.
No way.
Those who were held hostage by the blood of the lesser kingdom, the slaves of the mining town whose backs were stabbed even at this moment. Even more so those who were driven to that barren land.
Are they cursed with something?
‘God shows favoritism.’
can’t be normal
Lockstrin Aindarlock.
The young wolf’s eyes must have resembled his father’s.
“Thank you. Please sit down.”
In any case, what was meant to be moderately intimidating caused panic.
I could see the children trembling all over the classroom. Kanin cleared his throat lightly.
“Hmmmm. Not all battlefields are like that, but not a few are like that.”
An undeniable fact.
Several outposts in the front had already retreated and lost their function. Accumulated damage draws a significant curve day by day.
“There is not enough power. In recent years, the number of monsters has increased rapidly. Compared to 10 years ago, it is twice as much.”
The devastation Roxtrin witnessed was probably just before reports spread throughout the Imperial Army.
After that, the Empire immediately doubled its frontier defenses. Except for the Hana Empire and Riden, the other kingdoms could not afford that.
“I submitted a research report saying that if half of the academy faculty members and elders of the Sorcery Society were mobilized to the frontlines, the damage would be reduced to at least 30% or less, but it was not accepted.”
Kanin laughed bitterly.
A senile magician who has gone crazy with battles without safety in the development of serious magic.
From a certain moment on, such a nickname was circulating behind the scenes.
“We cannot see the future. I can’t say for sure which one is right, so it can’t be helped. The choice is over.”
In the end, Kanin resigned from the front to accept a professorship at Somerset that he had been putting off for decades.
“I’m sorry to burden you, but I have to tell you clearly.”
With a benevolent yet powerful voice, Kanin’s wrinkled fingers pointed forward.
“The continent.”
“The future of mankind.”
“I bet on you.”

Early moning.
“I am a firefly~♪”
The campus of Summer Turge is beautiful, but if there is one place that is not beautiful, there is one place.
“I don’t have any friends~♬”
this playground.
The bright scent of spring could not reach this place, and it was a place where sand dust was blowing.
At the beginning of the establishment, there was a knight academy, but it fell away shortly after, leaving only a playground that was completely useless for wizards.
I hummed and sang around the track.
“Heh, heh… … . Keck!”
But after three laps, I got tired.
I can’t breathe.
“Oops, I’m going to die.”
I’m going to die like this
I overlooked the 3rd level of stamina again.
This average is the average of freshmen at the academy. And a wizard is a weakling by default.
“Wow.”
There is no prestige as an aristocrat.
After barely completing three laps, I lay flat on the dirt floor.
Anyway, no one is here
Even the doorknob is rusty, the fixture warehouse is not used, and wizards usually do not train their physical strength. It’s not stamina that’s consumed to use magic, it’s magic and mental power.
If there is nothing to run around, there is no need to develop physical strength.
In other words, I have to build up my stamina because I always have to run around.
“Huh.”
After resting for a while, get up again.
Thirty laps a day.
It’s risky, but in about three months, you can aim for level 5. The default setting is level 3, but it is not fixed, so it grows.
I’m thirsty, so drink some water.
“Io (water)”
Chewy!
He placed his palm over his mouth and cast an incantation, and a handful of water flowed down as the mana escaped in a lump.
As a result of his hard work, he was able to use magic, although it was simple.
It was just an average level in the first place, it wasn’t that he didn’t have a talent itself.
However, the attribute is still empty.
It’s unfortunate that you can’t get a bonus for attributes, but there are other opportunities as it is.
Rather, I was facing a completely different problem.
If you slowly turn your eyes.
‘When are you going?’
I thought there would be no one, but after about ten turns, someone appeared.
He was a student because he was wearing the Summer Turge student robe.
He always wears a hood when he goes out of the tower, so I wondered if it would be a problem.
“Haam.”
Even now, taking a short break after turning the twenty-seventh lap, he hadn’t left his seat. He looks like he’s yawning, probably because he’s bored.
If it was a guy who didn’t care much, I wouldn’t have cared about it, but it wasn’t.

‘It must be a boy.’
Euril Mashma.
This girl, the princess of the kingdom of Mashu, is also the protagonist of <Academy Summer Turge>, which has a great influence on the story.
But now I’m in a state where I shouldn’t be in contact with others. Especially if the partner is a woman.
I thought it would disappear on its own after walking around the playground, but why? It’s been sitting there for over an hour.
‘I can’t ignore it… … .’
Of course, you have to build a good relationship with the main characters of the episode.
Because of this guy’s face, we’ve met eyes several times since before, but isn’t it far from polite to just leave like this?
Auril is a country’s princess.
In a way, it was something I had to pay more attention to than the children, and Euril ranked second in the succession order.
“… … after.”
After turning all 30 laps.
I tidied up my clothes, wiping my sweat with the towel I brought.
“Nice to meet you.”
I approached first and spoke.
Euril, who was sitting in the shade of a tree, quietly raised herself.
‘Five.’
It is an appearance that is faithful to the setting.
I was quite impressed. I’ve never seen silver hair in real life. It was a mystery that contrasted with the child’s splendor.
Because of his personality ‘blessing of winter’, his whole body is wrapped up all year round, so he can only see half of it, but that rather adds to the sense of mystery.
“there… … ?”
However, instead of answering, Euril passed by me and headed towards the playground where I was running.
Soon after, I stopped and left a little distance.
“This is where I write.”
“yes?”
“Don’t come forward.”
“… … what?”
Then, with great strides, he made his way to the playground.
I made the original personality a little cold-hearted, but it’s not that severe as a script. In short, I was completely ignored.
Considering Auril’s personality, I wonder if it’s natural, but I feel uncomfortable.
‘We should be friendly.’
Shall I watch for a while? There are no other people around here, so I think it’s okay.
where i write What are you using this playground for? Do you want to do some physical training like me?
‘It’s magic.’
I wondered what to do while standing in the middle of the playground, but judging from the flow of mana, it seemed like he was practicing water magic.
By the time I got there, the resentment had vanished.
Anyone can easily say that they are geniuses, and they definitely show their achievements, but behind the scenes, there is always bloody effort.
I know very well.
In <Academy Summer Turge>, there is no protagonist who neglects to work hard.
“Eh. work hard.”
He sighed lightly and turned around.
I have no desire to hinder the growth of the main characters.
‘It’s extreme training.’
Water attribute magic requires a certain amount of moisture in the air to operate smoothly.
There are trees all over the campus of Summer Turge, and it’s tended by first-rate gardeners, so there’s usually no problem.
The area around this field is exceptionally dehydrated. The soil is dry, and the forest is far away.
In this harsh situation, the results of practice will undoubtedly be multiplied… … but
I stopped abruptly.
moisture in the atmosphere.
Didn’t I write all of them earlier?
“Ugh.”
I knew it would be like this.
When I came back, I was sure it was different.
Auril passed out, and her pretty silver hair was scattered randomly on the grains of sand.
I knew very well that if the conditions were not met, if I tried to use magic forcibly, that would happen. I’ll probably stay like this for two or three hours.
‘Should I call an ambulance… … .’
No, it’s not good to be involved in any way with someone else right now.
So why don’t you just throw it away?
Well, I don’t think Auril will die in a guest house, but if I leave it that way, it will probably put a lot of strain on my body. It’s because of ‘Winter’s Blessing’.
think about it and come to a conclusion
“I am sorry.”
* * *
‘… … That’s the only way.’
‘Did you say empire? Are you sane now? Why did we end up like this!’
‘Summer Turge will be fine. You don’t know what will happen if you leave it like this. Fortunately, the princess also has the qualities of a wizard.’
‘I don’t know if it will be accepted or not. My daughter wouldn’t be able to get close to anyone else.’
‘I’ll take care of that part. There is a kite at the top of the Imperial Magic Society.’
Auril opened her eyes.
It couldn’t even be called a nightmare, but now it’s so grave that it’s just a memory.
I think of the faces of Obama, the attendants, and the minister who is no longer able to meet in a kingdom that is close but far away.
It reminds me of my childhood when I used to play with dolls. Sometimes, not forgetting is a hassle.
‘… … It was too much.’
admitted right away.
For some reason, I felt like the daily training was clogged up today.
Even so, I should have given up for a day or practiced other magic, but I ended up overdoing it.
‘The weather wasn’t good either.’
It’s a big mistake.
In spring, sometimes the temperature drops dramatically. It was difficult to practice magic for a while because he had collapsed on the playground.
The warmth of this cursed body is very thin, and if you fall asleep on the dirt floor as you do now, it will ruin your body in no time.
Let’s check the status first. Euril tried to stand up.
rustle.
“… … ?”
Something was covering the body.
It remained even after covering the entire body, and it was piled up to the point of being heavy.
[Monthly Summer Turge No. 594]
[Monthly Summer Turge No. 592]
[Monthly Summer Turge No. 591… … .]
What’s this.
The student newspaper was inexhaustibly covered.
It was dozens of pages without exaggeration. Euril cleared the pile of newspaper from her face and stood up.
It wasn’t even a cold playground.
It is a sunny flower garden. For one that fell helplessly, the scarf was properly wrapped around it.
It looks like someone moved it.
“It’s okay… … .”
A strange guy who ran around the playground panting like a mad dog.
There was no such thing as overexertion, let alone exercise.
I couldn’t see the face closely, but I didn’t forget the name tag I saw once.
Lockstrin Aindarlock.
He had no ties to the nobles of Rongurt, and Euril was a sophomore, so there was nothing to run into. I’ve only heard a few wild rumors.
“He’s a strange kid.”
Looking at the crumpled newspaper from carrying it all at once, a small laugh burst out.
It was a laugh in a long time.
