The woman hates the ‘press’.
I also dislike those journalists who are so rude as if they are justice, and I find their double standards unpleasant as they treat information like power and act like the upper class.
However, this does not mean that their necessity is denied.
So, read the newspaper every day and differentiate between them.
Those who will be eradicated and those who will still be observed.
And now, the woman has decided to save a news organization she had been considering destroying recently.
[The good and noble knight of the Silver Lion and the lowly wizard of the Academy. Will justice prevail?]
Isn’t it remarkable that you wrote a sentence that you like quite a bit?
It was a third-rate article full of flattering comments toward the royal family, but thanks to the article that portrayed Baek Eun-sa as a just man and endlessly criticized magicians, it seemed like one media outlet would survive this year.
…I don’t know what will happen next year.
“Your uncle is up to something interesting.”
“Boo?”
“Haha, I’m not talking about those incompetent bastards who are related to you by blood. How could such people be called uncles to you? When I say uncle, I mean Lee Han, the only friend acknowledged by this mother. He may not be of royal blood, but he is my acknowledged step-brother, so you must be polite to him when others are not looking. Do you understand, Arthur?”
“Aww.”
“Yeah, are you interested too? Your eyes are sparkling. Well, that makes sense. I’m already looking forward to seeing what kind of bloody battle my younger brother will wage.”
“Boo?”
“Arthur, my son. Remember. The bloody fights of warriors are a great stimulant to overcome boredom. Even this mother sometimes relieves stress by watching bloody fights. Or, if there is a sinner who wants to harm you, it would be an interesting experience to cut off their head yourself. It is a beneficial stress reliever for one who wants to become king. Sometimes, when I am here, there are too many beasts that I want to tear off their heads…”
“Boo?”
The woman whispered affectionately to the child in her arms, but the content of the words was somehow not educationally appropriate for the child’s emotional education.
It’s a good thing the child isn’t old enough to understand that yet.
And the only one in the royal household who could point out a woman’s fault was the butler who scolded her.
“Morally speaking, it is not right to say such things to a child, Princess.”
“Is that you? There’s still no sign of you. Be careful walking around, Arthur might get scared.”
“I wonder if he will be more afraid of the princess than of me in the future.”
“What do you do with your free time?”
“I really admire Albert for not knowing, haha.”
“You rude bastard.”
The princess’s butler, Albert, shook his head, saying he could not stop her.
I wonder if it wouldn’t be ethically right to separate the child from this cruel princess even now.
“You’ve been going out a lot lately.”
“The princess has asked me to do something, so what can I do?”
“That’s a bit too much of a joke.”
“I’m not kidding. Even for me, investigating lions in the middle of the North is a bit of a challenge, haha.”
“hmm.”
Her brow furrowed, Isis Ired de Pendragon’s.
As usual, it would have been easy to dismiss it as just a joke or a trick, but Albert’s face showed an unmistakable fatigue.
Seeing the world’s best Aura user looking so tired means it’s not all a joke.
“The North, you troublesome ones.”
“Rather than disturbing a beehive, why not just leave it alone?”
“It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but I prefer to burn the beehive that bothers me because of my personality.”
“… It would be great if you could just fix that extreme aspect.”
“I’ve lived like this my whole life, so just leave me alone.”
If there’s anything that bothers you, burn it even if it has honey in it.
A ruthless, yet ruthless, ruthless pursuit of efficiency.
It could be said to be the foundation of ISIS.
of course.
‘It’s gotten a lot better than before.’
Since she was born, Isis had been involved in a bloody political battle with people of her own blood, so it was inevitable that she would be cruel.
I was stabbed in the back of the head by my trusted brothers and sisters, and chased by assassins dozens of times.
On the contrary, if the personality is affectionate, then that too is a growth environment that should be suspected of mental illness.
Because of this, she does not hesitate to shed blood, and even kicks out all of her brothers from the palace, but recently, she has shown a somewhat softer side.
Perhaps it was because she had a ‘friend’ who made her happier than the insignificant and unpleasant crowd.
Albert rarely saw a newspaper lying on the table unbroken and untouched.
Because the story about a certain article is taking up the front page.
‘Heh heh.’
Albert opened his mouth, trying hard to hide his delight.
“I heard the news. You’re very active. Youth is indeed good.”
“… When other old people say that, I can relate, but when you say it, I can’t relate so much.”
“Haha, I’ve gotten quite old too. But, you won’t interfere, Princess?”
“Why me?”
“Hoo.”
If it were true to her original nature, she would not have allowed a ‘foreign substance’ like a wizard to run wild.
Because there is a concern that the mission given to him may be disrupted.
But now it’s quiet.
Even though the wizard would surely be annoyed.
“As expected, butler. You know me well.”
“then….”
“But this time I won’t come forward.”
“?”
It was an unexpected remark, and Albert tilted his head.
Why would his master be so quiet?
But through the words that follow.
“If I were to step forward, wouldn’t my younger brother lose the chance to make a name for himself?”
“… … .”
“If he can also increase his reputation through this opportunity, it will be beneficial.”
“Haha, you really think about your little brother.”
Only then was Albert able to guess his master’s mind.
“That guy thinks too little of fame. How can he still remain ‘unknown’ after achieving so much?”
“Hmm.”
“Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Hehe, I just thought that our princess is still a young woman with a youthful spirit.”
“…What nonsense are you talking about?”
“There is something like that.”
I can clearly see why she doesn’t come forward despite the presence of the foreign substance called a wizard.
She is the one who usually acknowledges the article more than anyone else.
I always felt bad that he remained anonymous.
So I guess I didn’t interfere with the war game.
Because this is a rare opportunity for his fame to be known.
‘There are young ladies who try to make unknown actors known on the stage, right?’
I hope that the actor I support will do well.
In their own jargon.
‘Because you’re a fan, haha, you still have some innocence left in you. Our princess too.’
Albert was pleased.
but.
“Hmm, I don’t know why he does that.”
“Boo?”
“Arthur, I guess I should get ready to go out soon.”
“?”
“It’ll be fun.”
The problem is that the emotions that Albert considered pure are a great disaster to others.
… … It was four days later that news was delivered that Crown Princess Isis was visiting the Academy.

“……ha.”
The boy sighed.
A boy with a somewhat gloomy appearance.
The unkempt hairstyle and dull, gray hair only served to amplify the outward gloom.
On top of that, the atmosphere is mercilessly exuding unpleasantness, like ‘don’t come near me’… .
It couldn’t be that there weren’t people like that with whom I had no desire to become close.
But.
“Derek? Where’s Derek!”
“… … .”
“Ah! I found it!”
“!?!!”
… Recently, the boy, or rather Derek, was facing a major crisis in his lonely life.
Because of a girl who suddenly stayed by his side and started meddling.
The boy was hiding on a leafy tree branch, trying his best to suppress any noise, but it was difficult to avoid the eyes of the intelligent girl with the ponytail that suited her so well.
“Ka, Karin Youngae. Why, why are you looking for me again?”
“I came to see you so we could have lunch together. We’re friends.”
“… Are you eating with other people? You have a lot of friends besides me.”
“Haha, they are my followers. I don’t have many friends.”
“… … .”
Can you really say that out loud?
Anyway, the personality is really good.
“Derek, my neck hurts when I look up, so why don’t you come down quickly? I even packed a lunch for you.”
“… It doesn’t matter if you go, but, this time, you mustn’t touch my head.”
“Okay, I promise.”
“Okay, then, I understand.”
Phew.
Derek, the boy with the bushy hair, came down from the tree branch like that.
The girl’s eyes sparkled as she came down so lightly that it seemed as if a flying squirrel had jumped down.
‘As expected, this is not an ordinary physical ability.’
A free-spirited gesture that even a student at the swordsmanship department would be unable to imitate.
Even when I first met him, I thought he was extraordinary, but the more I got to know him, the more I saw his extraordinary side.
Well, what is more striking than such extraordinary things?
Swish.
“Oh, I told you not to do it!”
“A woman’s heart is like a reed.”
“!!”
As soon as he came down, the girl went up to him and tossed her bangs.
Beautiful golden eyes are revealed when the hair that completely covers the eyes is pushed back.
He had dark gray hair and beautiful eyes, and he had a charm that would overwhelm even women.
‘What pretty eyes you have.’
The more I look at those pretty eyes, the more I want to see them again.
And the extraordinary that is seen once in a while.
It was inevitable that the girl would pay attention to the boy, and it was worth it to shoo away the boring admirer.
“Derek, are you sure you don’t want to get your head together? I’ll introduce you to a technician I know.”
“I’m really done. Even if you cut your hair, it’ll grow back, so just washing it well and walking around is enough.”
“Then what about tying it with a string?”
“Why?”
“… … .”
… but sometimes this kind of solid dark personality can be annoying.
The girl, Karin Alencia de Guinevere, puffed out her cheeks.
‘Oh, that’s burdensome.’
Derek found the girl burdensome.
There was no choice.
As I said the day before, there were no women in his life, they were just wild beasts that he could never get used to.
If I had to give an example, a lion or a bear?
But with such a lion lingering around, Derek’s body became stiff like a herbivore, and he sweated profusely as he struggled to find a new place to hide.
But this was only for a moment.
Derek keeps getting approached by a girl, but she keeps getting on his nerves.
‘Didn’t the cadets who went training with that guy say they’re coming back today?’
The culprit causing a stir at the Academy.
Foolish warriors who play war games with wizards.
Nowadays, there is a lot of criticism and crude condemnation directed at the students of the Department of Swordsmanship.
Those who foolishly challenged the wizard to a war game.
‘Well, it doesn’t seem like a stupid thing to do, does it?’
However, Derek does not consider their actions foolish.
There are cases where a warrior can win a war game against a wizard as long as [the conditions] are met.
‘If I could just get my hands on the hidden piece, my chances of winning would be higher.’
However, he is the only person in this world who knows of the existence of the Hidden Piece.
So he wondered.
Indeed, that person, Lee Han Turtle… .
‘What if you’re someone who’s involved in the game like me? Or someone who knows the original?’
Derek’s uncertain prediction.
I wonder if the instructor of the swordsmanship department is someone who knows the game or the original work that well… .
Such uncertain predictions.
‘If that’s the case, it will be possible to confirm it this time.’
One of the secret methods to defeat a wizard.
Proof that you have obtained the hidden piece.
‘You might have gotten your hands on the
Hidden Piece, the Wizard Hunter’s Musket.
The musket, developed by an alchemist who dedicated his life to killing wizards, has a longer barrel and more powerful power than regular muskets.
Also, it is not only powerful, but also has magical resistance.
Given the blueprints for these special muskets and time to familiarize yourself with their development and handling, it is possible to create a magic suppression force.
‘If it were me, I would have raised him like that, no matter what.’
Because it was also the only route through which lower class cadets could fight and win against wizards in a short period of time.
When the lower class cadets of the swordsmanship department returned, Honey Derek had a high probability that they would obtain a ‘rare occupation –
If I were an instructor and someone who knew the game or the original work, I would have trained my students in that direction.
Besides that, the jobs that the lower class could get were honestly not all that positive.
‘So if a cadet comes with a musket on his back, it must mean that he is in the same situation as me!’
So Derek looks forward to it.
Because it means that you will have a ‘companion’ who will make life in this lonely world no longer feel lonely.
When the boy’s eyes secretly shine with a small sense of anticipation.
“Huh? This is the instructor from the swordsmanship department. I see you’re finally back.”
“Oh, where are you?”
“excuse me.”
“Ah, finally, … … huh?”
…what is that?
Main gate of the academy.
Since it was lunchtime, the cadets using the lawn garden near the main gate were unexpectedly the first to welcome the return of the cadets and instructors from the swordsmanship department.
But the atmosphere that is felt for a moment.
“…?”
It was an awkward expression, as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
Derek is….
‘Sir, among the jobs I can choose from,
A man wearing a bear skin.
Berserk, no, I blinked with my eyes wide open as I looked at the 18 cadets.
