Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

24 – Group Tasks (6)

Lucy returned from a trip to a nearby warehouse with Tina. Upon returning to the cabin, Lucy raised a question mark at the sight she saw.

“What?”

A scene reminiscent of a murder case.

Anastasia is lying on the wooden floor holding her head, and Adele is moving her armpits with her hands.

If awareness of Adele had hit rock bottom in the past, I would have thought he was trying to kill people and cover up the case.

“My head, my head is about to break… ….”

“The human body is not so weak that a few honey chestnuts will break your head.”

After throwing Anastasia on the sofa, Adele found Lucy and Tina, who had just returned.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, I promised, I brought it.”

Tina and Adele made a deal.

In return for finding her name, which seemed like it would never be recovered, Adele asked for an unused item, which Tina accepted.

Lucy and Tina had been on a short trip to the warehouse looking for the item.

“Here it is.”

Tina took out a stone the size of her palm.

It was an ordinary stone that could be easily found anywhere.

“Is this right?”

After receiving the stone, Adele examined it for a moment, then nodded.

“The item I was looking for is right.”

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary stone, but that’s only the surface.

This is an item left by Raviel, one of the old heroes, the same as the arrangement of the heroes left in the library, so it can’t be ordinary.

“What are these stones… ….”

Could you climb such a dangerous mountain to get a stone like this?

Adele asked Lucy, who didn’t say it, but her expression showed her thoughts.

“Then can I have this?”

“Yeah, what. Have it Even if I give it to you, I will not take it.”

“How are you, Anastasia?”

Anastasia, who was half-lying on her sofa, flicked her hand as if to say whatever she wanted.

After the two of them expressed their disapproval, Adele quietly grabbed the stone and let her magic flow into her grasp.

Uh uh uh

A stone that trembles as if responding to the transmitted magical power.

As magic flowed along the traces on the dark stone, a small light leaked out between Adele’s fingers holding the stone.

‘Looks like it’s working properly.’

The true identity of the arrangement Raviel left behind is, as mentioned before, a magic amplifying device that will prevent lack of magic.

If you put 1 mana into it, 2 comes out, and it was an item that would give a helping hand to Adele, who was suffering from mana.

As if to inform them, the mana that Adele had blown into the stone was amplified and returned, and blue light flowed through the blood vessels and into the body.

“Whoa.”

I feel like the mana I used today is being recharged.

Although, it didn’t come back with magic power doubled because it wasn’t adjusted, but it was in a state where you could feel the effect enough.

‘If I adjust it, I’m sure there won’t be much of a struggle with magic.’

If that time came, it would be worth trying to use fairy tales more earnestly.

It should be possible to utilize things that have not been used due to lack of magical power until now, and to strengthen the assimilation abilities that have been used so far.

‘It’ll be useful when I go to a retreat.’

With this, the purpose of coming here has been achieved.

If you use this arrangement, you can easily get an A for the artifacts to be tested as a group assignment, and since Lucy and Anastasia aren’t greedy, they naturally got a useful opportunity.

Then it happened unexpectedly, and there is only one thing left.

Adele put her stone in her pocket and turned around.

For the first time in a while, I saw Tina, immersed in memories, in a cabin filled with the smell of people.

I took a big step forward and approached within arm’s reach.

“What are you going to do next, Tina?”

“I… ….”

Before Tina could say anything, Adele cut her off once by raising her hand.

“It doesn’t matter if you stay because you want to, but if you’re thinking of sticking to this snowy mountain like Jibakuryeong because of the memories with Raviel, I don’t recommend it.”

Tina’s eyes shook violently as if she had been stabbed in the head.

It was a problem that I had been thinking about ever since I recalled her memories that had been blurred by Adele’s fairy tale.

Even until the moment of her death, La Viel gave herself a name to live on in the future, but would she really want to live alone in this snowy mountain, bound by her past?

I keep thinking about it.

“… ….”

Tina hung her head and pondered for a while.

No, she had already decided in her heart what she was going to do, but she hesitated because she was afraid to go out into an unfamiliar world in this familiar place where she had memories with Raviel.

“If.”

Adele placed her hand on her shoulder as she quietly waited for her choice.

“If you are afraid to go out into this snowy mountain alone, I will help you.”

This was warmth.

A pure favor given to Tina because she assimilated with her memories and watched what kind of life she lived.

“You?”

However, she didn’t say anything like Tina, who didn’t trust Adele yet.

Maybe she’s trying to use herself, maybe she’s got some ulterior motive.

With that suspicion first, she looked at Adele with wide open eyes.

“Well, since I’m in the same position as you, should I say it’s commensurate with each other?”

Noticing a lie…… Didn’t seem to be

Beside her glanced at her, Lucy was nodding her head, saying, ‘That guy has no friends.’

Unlike Adele, who couldn’t read her spirit thoughts, she couldn’t even be acting because her thoughts were revealed in her expression.

“Besides, taking one person in doesn’t mean you live in an environment that will become a problem.”

Is it just one person?

It’s an environment where you can bring 10 people with you without any problems.

Tina felt her heart sway at Adele’s confident words.

Because his favor was similar to the favor given by Raviel when we first met.

“… ….”

After planting like that, Tina decided.

“Tina, follow me.”

To break the peace of your own small world and go outside.

* * *

Unsurprisingly, I got an A on the group assignment.

After all, the rough stones to make into artifacts are so fraudulent that even the professor who hates me asked her how she made them with her eyes wide open.

“Anyway, I have some spare time.”

She stretched her hand toward the ceiling as she lay on the bed.

A small ring is on a finger that normally wouldn’t have anything on it.

That was the Magic Amplification Artifact created by Raviel’s arrangement while doing this group assignment.

Smart.

That’s when I heard a knock.

She thought it was Charlotte, but the door opened and it wasn’t Charlotte.

“Excuse me…… No see.”

A body that can’t sit still and keeps fidgeting, probably because it’s not used to the clothes yet.

It was Tina, the wolf-beast brought from the snowy mountains, who hid her ears with a headband and wore the familiar maid outfit.

“It doesn’t mean that you use ‘is’ unconditionally as an honorific, Tina.”

This time it was Charlotte.

When I asked for Tina’s education, who had not yet adapted to human society, she followed Tina all day, pointing out and correcting her every move.

If I followed that much, I would have suffered mentally, but Tina had an attitude as if she was trying to learn by acknowledging her own shortcomings.

“Boss, I have brought information about the snow mountain access manager you ordered the other day.”

Charlotte entered her room with Tina and handed over a document sealed in wax.

I thought she would be busy with maid work, so I gave her a generous amount of time, but whether she knew my consideration or not, the work was handled quickly.

“Tina, honorifics are difficult.”

“Is there anyone who does everything well from the start? You just have to learn slowly.”

As she said that, Charlotte looked at me subtly.

She couldn’t understand the meaning of that gaze, but she tore off the wax and scanned the data in it with her eyes.

“Let’s see.”

The snow mountain access manager.

It wasn’t long before he started working at the academy.

It was a short period of time, almost two years now.

Sarak.

You turned the page.

Then his past history is revealed.

“Hmm?”

While quickly reading through the information Charlotte had gathered, something caught her eye.

It’s not recorded in exact numbers, but it was about his job where he worked for a long time that was incomparable to his time at the academy.

“I see… ….”

And as I read through it slowly, I was intuitively convinced.

That the owner of his former job was the one who hired the hunter to assassinate me.

It was also the name of a family I had seen several times while working as the strongest swordsman in the academy, and it was a relationship worthy of being called a bad relationship with Adele.

“Nikita Sylvester.”

Sylvesta.

The name of the family, as far as I know, belonged to a family that was ruined in one day at the words of Adele, who was nothing short of a tyrant.

In her original work, she is a middle-boss character who gets corrupted due to accumulated resentment toward Adele, but she, who is enrolled in the academy, must have been the culprit who hired the old man.

Anyway, it seemed that my behavior, which was different from the love affair, had hastened her fall.
