chapter 14
14 – Amelia Binsmarck – 1
Jump and jump.
There are several areas of Norrington Academy that students are prohibited from entering.
A student information reading room that only professors can access, an underground dungeon used for exams, a reception room to welcome VIPs, etc.
Because it was a place where not only students but also professors resided, individual areas were divided into separate areas.
And the dean’s office that the supervisor came to now is also a place where general students are strictly prohibited from entering.
It was safe to assume that he would never come here unless the Dean personally invited him.
“We’ve arrived, open the door and go in.”
At the end of a shallow, dark hallway, there was an old wooden door.
It was a wooden door with a rough crust, but its quality and items looked elegant and luxurious.
“It’s such a weird hobby. You could go to a better place.”
The supervisor looked at the wooden door, muttered something to himself, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Once the supervisor has completely left, the wooden door is opened slightly.
I’m sorry.
The eerie voice of an old tree.
The wooden door slowly begins to open, and.
“Oh, welcome back.”
What I see is a small child staring at me with his head crossed.
She had her legs propped up on the desk and had her gray hair tucked behind her ear.
‘Amelia Binsmarck. ‘
The dean of Norrington Academy and the kingdom’s proud genius wizard.
He was a royal wizard who had been protecting the kingdom for several decades, and is now a wizard who has entered the path of an educator training talents at Norrington Academy.
In the original novel, he is an unknown wizard and a helper to the main character.
He was a person who showed the qualities of a true educator by listening to the group’s requests even though they were annoying.
Bow your head slightly and be polite to the dean.
“See you, Dean.”
“Oh, yes, yes. It’s completely different from what the rumors say.”
I don’t know if he said that because he was surprised that I was more polite than I expected, or if he said it to try to sneak a peek at me.
As the expression on her face gradually hardened, Amelia laughed, tapping the stick on her palm.
“Ahahahaha! You don’t have to be so nervous. I like students with potential.”
“Are you saying I’m a potential student?”
“It didn’t exist exactly, but it has emerged now.”
Amelia pointed at me with her finger and smiled.
What I was most curious about was what she thought of me right now.
“Coffee? Or tea?”
“Please give me the car.”
“Good! I have some good coffee beans brought in from the southern continent this time…”
Amelia rummaged around in the corner, took out some coffee beans, and started brewing coffee.
A pleasant scent filled the room, and Amelia hummed as she poured coffee into her cup.
“It’s a coffee with a pleasant acidity. Drink it while savoring it!”
“….”
Well, I definitely asked for a car.
“Don’t look at me like that. I just confirmed that the tea leaves have fallen.”
” …yes. “
Yes, that kind of Amelia Binsmarck is that kind of character.
A character with an unpredictable, four-dimensional way of thinking.
Therefore, it is not clear within the novel what she is thinking or what she is thinking.
There was a clear purpose and goal, but Amelia’s purpose is not revealed until the middle of the novel.
The good news is that Amelia is friendly to Orphée.
Taltaltal.
Amelia pouring a bunch of sugar into her coffee.
“After all, sugar is the best in coffee.”
One spoon, two spoons, three spoons.
At the point where I passed five spoonfuls, I gave up on the idea.
Even though there was a setting in the original novel that he really likes sweets, I didn’t know he was this much of a sweet tooth fanatic.
I wonder if his favorability will increase if I buy him a donut later.
Whoop.
Coffee time in a quiet space.
Following Amelia, who sipped her coffee with her hands wrapped around the cup, I raised my cup and savored the coffee.
“It’s okay.”
“You bought it with a lot of money. It’s one of the few hobbies of old people.”
When Amelia purely praised the taste of coffee, she shrugged her shoulders and expressed that she was happy.
She looks young and acts like that, so if someone who doesn’t know her sees her, they will most likely mistake her for a child.
“Hey! The duel earlier was really amazing. I saw the strength with which he pushed student James.”
” thank you. “
“So what is the identity of the power you used in the duel?”
Amelia looks at me with sparkling eyes.
It has finally come.
Even in the original novel, Amelia showed interest in the power of witchcraft, which has a completely different aspect from magic.
Amelia had a desire to explore unknown areas, to the point where she captured the dark side and stole information from it rather than kill it.
In other words, the initiative lies with me.
The opponent is the dean of Norrington Academy, so you must never let down your guard.
If this side’s intentions were to be discovered, Amelia was a person with the skill to take advantage of the gap and turn the game over.
“Why should I tell you?”
“Phew!”
Amelia spits her coffee out onto the floor instead of drinking it.
Amelia was looking at me with trembling eyes.
I guess they thought it would give them some information about witchcraft.
Or even if you refuse, do you politely express your refusal?
But Amelia seemed quite embarrassed by my repeated refusal to say anything.
“I don’t want to tell you.”
After that, a cold silence engulfed the space.
*******************
“…Can I assume that means you have no intention of revealing the identity of your power?”
“Of course. It’s my only remaining source of support.”
“Even though I, the academy’s dean, am asking you to do this?”
“But if it can’t be done, it can’t be done.”
“Off…”
Amelia frowns and glares at Harvey.
But even so, Harvey just looked at Amelia with an expressionless expression.
Tight.
Amelia brought the bear stick that had just been placed in the corner back to her mouth and started sucking on it.
In the novel, Amelia would smoke a gombangdae whenever she was stressed.
“I’d like to hear the reason why it doesn’t work…”
“I think the Dean would know better.”
“..It’s the family’s vision.”
“Let’s say it’s similar.”
Amelia sighed heavily at my words.
The Artur family’s vision probably means that it is a magic being developed by the Artur family.
Unless Amelia was a petty thief, she should not have dared to violate the family’s vision.
Moreover, the opponent is the Artur family, a famous magic clan.
Even if Amelia was a monster wizard with decades of experience, it would have been difficult for her to deal with the Artur family on her own.
Perhaps because she thought she had lost all the prey she had caught, Amelia licked her tongue and expressed her disappointment.
“Besides, doesn’t the Dean have another purpose?”
“Hmm? For another purpose? I don’t think I understand what you’re talking about.”
“I have to take revenge.”
That moment.
Boom!
A bear bat passed by Harvey’s head.
The bear flew to the end of the room and hit the wall.
“It’s bloody.”
The gombangdae was stuck in the wall.
If that bear had hit Harvey’s head directly, his head would have exploded.
“Where did you hear that?”
Amelia’s mood changed.
The innocent childlike atmosphere disappeared, and only the coldness typical of a wizard rose from her body.
The voice was calm and cold, but it clearly contained feelings of anger.
“Does it matter where I heard it?”
“It’s important, I have never betrayed my life’s secret wish to others.”
“Then it must be something only you and I know.”
Starting from this conversation, Harvey’s tone changed.
More precisely, it meant that he no longer considered Amelia to be the dean.
A more accurate explanation would have been to view the relationship as an object of transaction rather than a relationship between the dean and the student.
“Are you trying to play with me now?”
Mana begins to condense in Amelia’s hands.
Amelia Binsmarck, who protected the country as the kingdom’s wizard for decades.
Some might have called her a hero, but others called her a monster.
A monster wizard who single-handedly captured an imperial city.
That was Amelia Binsmarck.
However, prestige and fame meant nothing to Harvey.
The only thing that matters to Harvey is whether or not he can be of help in the future.
“I know that you are interested in Orphée.”
” ..under. “
Amelia laughs as if her finances are starting to run out.
It seemed absurd that a student I thought was far below my level was being treated like this.
“You’re looking for someone to take revenge on your behalf.”
“It’s a pierced mouth…”
” same. “
“?!”
Amelia’s face is filled with doubt.
“I have to kill the guy you want to kill too.”
The hidden dark side of the novel and the magician of the empire who is currently in a long hibernation.
A guardian wizard of the empire and a person with the power to control the emperor of the empire at will.
A magic madman who used his power to persecute the kingdom and ultimately burned down Amelia’s home.
A remnant of the purest youkai and an old Taoist who was exiled from the Heavenly Capital.
“So do what you can now, because I will do what I can.”
“Why don’t you say something like that without any explanation…!”
“You have to kill that guy and the whole story ends.”
“What is that again?”
“Dean, no, Amell.”
Amel is Amelia’s nickname and another name that only Amelia knows now.
When I mentioned her nickname, Emilia looked at me with wide eyes.
The emotions in the eyes are astonishment, surprise, embarrassment, and fear.
Stripped of all her past, her reaction was that of an ordinary person, not a monster wizard.
“Bartain does not forget grudges.”
” !! “
thud!
With those words, Amelia fell backwards.
