Episode 15. I Can’t Be the Only One Who Gets It (4)
“How can you say that! And you are a student at the Alighieri Academy!”
On the second floor of the unique building in the professor’s office. There, angry voices resonated loudly.
Even though it was a human voice, it felt more like the cry of a monster.
The voice of the first-year combat professor, Radian Bersern, was like a wall of force.
The cadet who heard it right in front of him might think it was a shame, but he did not cower and continued to spit it out.
“What a sight. I didn’t know this academy was so great that it would ignore a cadet’s request!”
“Hey, this guy!”
The cadet who resisted by straightening his shoulders even after hearing that voice was Travel Viold from Class 1-A, Combat Department.
Radian’s face, which had already been burning with anger, was crumpled like a grim reaper.
At first glance, it seemed like a situation where Travel was protesting to the rascal Professor Mangnani with a gun, but we had to change our perspective.
“How can you place more importance on the safety of those with such lowly bloodlines than on mine?”
“What, what?”
The reason Travel was brought here was because of his verbal abuse towards the bachelor people. It was just a monologue, but unfortunately, Radian caught him.
Not only Radian’s name, but even the principal’s name was included. I couldn’t ignore hearing him curse at the highest authority in the academy.
The Empire’s greatest magical institute, the Alighieri Academy.
To speak ill of the name of Principal ‘Kayden Zodiac’ is to insult the might of the Empire.
No matter what status Travel had.
“You really are making a big deal out of this.”
Originally, Radian had no intention of shouting.
As a respected principal, I couldn’t just pass by, but I was going to end it with a few words of reprimand.
After all, there were few cadets who could withstand their loud voice for a long time.
“A petty bloodline? Are you really going to spit that out in this academy?”
Once that statement was made, it couldn’t be overlooked.
I was on the verge of losing my sense of reason to the point where my thoughts would fly away.
“Don’t be mistaken! This is a place where social status doesn’t matter! This is your last chance. If you apologize now, I won’t put you on my record.”
“… … .”
After hearing that, I had no choice but to follow the professor’s words.
No matter how much my father likes me, he will never forgive me for drawing a red line.
“sorry…….”
Eventually, Travell fell to his knees, clenching his fists so hard that they trembled and biting his lip so hard that it bled.
“I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while now, why are you so obsessed with Lyman and Jenny?”
“… … .”
Travel, who felt the silence, could not open his mouth.
As the situation continued, Radian decided that further conversation was pointless and sent him out.
The reason Travel wentssiping about the principal was because of his classmates.
He is the youngest of the Marquis of Bayold’s family. Regardless of his status, he has been raised with great respect since childhood.
Instead of learning morality, he grew up hearing only sweet talk from the nobles around him that it was okay to look down on those below him, so he was very arrogant.
And his arrogance wasn’t the only reason he was obsessed with Jenny.
Jenny’s Chainsilver family and Travel’s Viold family. These two have been enemies for a long time.
Travel grew up hearing his father and other nobles call him ‘the lowly Chainsilver bastards’.
In that state, I met Chainsilver’s bloodline at the academy and couldn’t help but provoke him.
From Travel’s perspective, it was very natural. Rather, it was strange that there were people who criticized him.
“That son of a bitch… … !”
Travel, who had left the Unique Hall, felt angry at Radian.
The Academy itself, which had turned its back on its own beliefs, was embroiled in flames of distrust.
“What kind of academy is this when they treat students’ opinions like old shoes!”
I also didn’t like Lyman, who always got in the way when Jenny was picking a fight.
Especially when I think about the humiliation I felt during the practical exam, I really wanted to get rid of it. I even tried to get suspended using that as an excuse, but it failed.
Bam!-
Travel, in a fit of rage, kicked the tree that was supposed to be his foot.
Since entering the academy, things haven’t gone the way I wanted.
The tree shook from the impact of the kick. Soon, a fruit fell and hit Travel on the head.
“This is crazy… … !”
As a bump appeared on his head, blood began to flow into the whites of his eyes. And then, he was about to hit his head against a tree.
“Thank you so much for coming here, Sir Trancy.”
“you’re welcome.”
A familiar voice was heard. Travel stopped his impulsive actions for a moment and headed towards the place where the voice was heard.
There stood a woman with long blue hair, Jenny Chainsilver. She was talking to some knight and a maid, and Travelle was hiding, listening intently.
“Is it possible that the Silver Age has run wild again?”
“I’m so sorry… … .”
“I brought some medicine. Please try not to overdo it.”
“Thank you, Catena. For always reaching out to me.”
The conversation continued after that… … and Travel was able to learn several facts.
Those people are the knights and maids of the Chainsilver family, and the Silver Age, and the Rampage, and… …
“I’m worried that day will come again. When Madam lost her life to the lycanthrope and the young lady was in deep despair… … I too was on the verge of death.”
“So please be careful in the future.”
“Understood. Sir Trancy, Catena… … .”
The corners of Travel’s mouth tilted up like a crescent moon as he overheard the entire conversation.

“It’s finally complete. The Silver Age Control Spell!”
In one of the luxurious dorm rooms, a magic circle sparkles. Mary Ludciel is satisfied with the result.
It was an ice attribute sealing technique that was created after staying up all night for two days.
A visualized collection of light that is supposed to have no form. When it is injected into the body, it greatly limits the ability to exert freezing properties.
Controlling magical power itself is a concept that even high-ranking magicians find difficult to implement.
You need to multi-cast five or six magic spells that require complex combinations in a magic circle, and only those who are born with it can do so.
There aren’t many that can be found even if you search the entire continent, but Mary was one of them.
She is the only wizard in this academy who can create it.
However, the magical power that must be controlled is none other than Silver Age. This magical power, which is the power of the original head of Chain Silver, cannot be controlled by any sealing technique.
So, several preparations were needed, and the remnants of the magic extracted from Radon Crawler were just that.
“Should we repay our friend one more time?”
Mary performed a ritual that even the professors found impossible on her own. Just looking at that fact alone, you can indirectly see Mary’s talent.
Because it was so innate that it was thought that she had inherited the power of her father, Haze Ludosiel, who held the title of Grand Mage.
“Now, if we just keep this safe.”
Mary said that and took out a small capsule.
He absorbed the magic formula he had created into a capsule, and a blue, rippling pill was born.
Because the surface was translucent, the bluish magical power was clearly visible. It was as if a blue galaxy was contained within the capsule.
“Just get Jenny to take it and everything will be solved!”
Mary dove into bed in excitement.
I wanted to give myself a round of applause for all the hard work I put into making it, and later thank Radon.
If it weren’t for Radon and Jenny’s feud, they could have become closer. It’s really a shame.
“That’s right! Nobel Record!”
I remembered the gift I received from Radon.
How does he know his hobby so well? Mary listened to her two new Nobel records.
[You and My Tico]
[King of the Locker Room]
You can’t tell what it’s about just by looking at the title. It was clearly said to be a healing story that heals the mind, right?
He said he saw it enough to get sick of it… … Anyway, isn’t it a huge windfall! You can’t kick away a gem that came rolling in for free!!
‘Then… … have a good night… … .’
He put two records under the bed. He hugged a teddy bear and his eyes gradually closed.
‘(Crunch crunch)’
A smile appeared on his sleeping face.
Although she was small for her age, her quiet sleeping appearance was like that of an angel.
but……
“Ugh… … . Ugh… … !”
The girl’s complexion, which looked like she was about to melt, became strange.
Suddenly, the corners of his eyes went up, his forehead furrowed, and he began to grind his teeth as if he was getting goosebumps.
“Ugh… … Ughh …
What on earth was he dreaming of? He soon broke out in a cold sweat and became out of breath.
I thought it would be a quiet and relaxing night, but… …
“Kuaaaahh …
As if she was having a nightmare about being tortured, she was forced to writhe for three hours as if she was possessed by a pterosaur.
Even though he was of the bloodline of a great wizard, his magical powers were not outstanding.

“It looks like it burst.”
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the systems that were rising with such tremendous momentum.
I could tell that Mary had finally enjoyed the Nobel record.
We also saw the amazing sight of the erosion rate suddenly dropping to 0%.
More importantly… …
widely!-
[-10000 credits]
With a snap of my fingers, money was summoned into my hand.
This coin-like object was the cash of the people in the world of Devil Ark!
“The financial crisis has finally been resolved!!”
I shouted “Hurray” to the person lying on the bed. I felt like I was finally being rewarded for all the hard work I put in.

The status window had changed a lot since I first saw it. It was the result of using the stat points I had acquired through proficiency.
The points you have just acquired will also increase your ‘Magic Power’ by 1.
I was extremely satisfied, but… …at the same time, I was scared.
‘I have a feeling Mary will come for revenge.’
I know full well what a horrible monstrosity that record is.
The next day, Mary, with her eyes completely rotted away, will come running at me in anger and multi-cast elemental magic at me, leaving me speechless.
It’s strange that you don’t get angry when you trick someone into giving you such a deadly poison.
Of course, that won’t kill you. It’ll just hurt like hell.
Should we consider this as the price we pay for receiving such generous rewards?
Well anyway. Now that the breakup is confirmed, all I have to do is watch the main scenario unfold from afar.
I’m sorry for making your eyes rot, Mary.
I’m sorry I broke your ribs, Jenny.
And Lyman… …Hold on until the end! I’ll be watching you till the end!
