The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

15 – Scene 015# Stairway to Truth

Mondry was speechless.

It felt like a cold hand gripped his heart.

He couldn’t help but answer with a pale face.

“Sorry for not being able to help… do… The selection of special talent is entirely up to the dean of admissions… I only give approval… .”

It was right after that.

The reason why the anger that weighed down Mondry disappeared.

Tristan leaned back in his chair and said.

“Right. I see what you mean.”

Mondry, who was out of breath, took a deep breath.

‘This young child… .’

Mondri barely restrained himself from wanting to curse.

Mondry Cremont, the president of Meikahel University and a legendary wizard who has been evaluated as approaching the realm of the sage.

Everyone who recognized him was busy bowing their heads.

However, this kid was not intimidated at all.

Should the father be called the son?

Mondry stared at Tristan.

He’s a man who can’t help but be gloomy.

Nothing was empty in the eyes that were as cloudy as the deep sea.

In that emptiness, Mondry felt an unknown fear.

‘Wait… are you afraid? Is this me??’

To be afraid of a nobleman who looks younger than his son.

It was humiliating.

‘Am I even seeing the ghost of the dead Millium… .’

Mondry was confused.

Even so, the reason he didn’t change his expression was just the power of his years of experience.

“Thank you for your understanding. If you wish, you may call the dean of admissions and talk.”

“Then do it.”

“Yes. But… Is it okay if I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

Mondry put into his mouth the question he had been thinking about for a while.

“That… It’s surprising how late the Count discovered the joy of learning. However, for students without magical powers to study at this school… .”

“Lord Mondry.”

Tristan interrupted him.

his expression is subtle

For a moment, Mondri wanted to go away.

Being unable to use magic from generation to generation is an outrage for Ruelberta.

just touched it

“Oh, I did this. misrepresentation… .”

“It’s not me.”

“Yes?”

“It’s not me who wants to enter this school, it’s my attendant.”

A wrinkle formed between Mondry’s forehead.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Did you not hear me?

Mondry took a slow sip of the tea.

In that brief moment, Mondry pondered over what he had heard.

Maybe the count didn’t come to school well.

This is Meikahel University.

You should know that this is not a school for mere attendants.

Mondry opened his mouth again.

With the same expression as before.

This, too, was the power of age.

“Not the Count, but the Count’s attendant… You mean?”

“Yes.”

“Then where is the attendant?”

“It is this child.”

Count Tristan pointed at the girl in the coat standing right next to him.

Ho?

A girl whose shoulders flinched as if Mondri stared at her.

It was the girl who had been lowering her head since earlier.

Because of its voluminous curly hair, it looks like a small pet.

“… I only thought I was the Count’s younger sister. But you look a bit young. how old are you?”

“I am 12 years old.”

“Huh… Then, no matter how fast it is, I can only take the exam in five years.”

“I know that selection of special talent has nothing to do with age.”

“Yes? That’s right, but… .”

“I plan to enroll this guy as a special talent.”

“Hick! Count, I-!”

Tristan raised a hand to interrupt the girl.

“The quality is sufficient.”

“When it comes to qualities… ?”

“This guy has more talent than anyone else.”

Mondri’s eyes narrowed.

Then he stared back at the girl Tristan had brought with him.

He looks young and weak.

He lacks self-confidence and his mental strength seems weak.

Everywhere you look, you seem far from talented.

‘Hmm… .’

Mondry, who confirmed the appearance, was lost in thought.

Meikahel University, the best educational institution in the country.

In terms of education, according to the law of the empire that pursues equality, anyone can enter ‘on the surface’.

However, even if you look at all the graduates of the past, more than 99% are only aristocrats.

The reason is simple.

none other than expensive tuition.

It requires at least 20 million kaels for one year of tuition alone.

In addition, even if he had paid for his tuition, the entrance exam was not easy.

There were many students who even took three counts to enter Meikahel University.

The general screening was this much, but the difficulty of the special talent screening was absurd.

Special talent is literally an admissions process for students with special abilities.

It is not possible to pass the exam just by working hard like the general admissions.

Only those who are chosen for their talent can pass through the narrow gap of the special talent archetype.

The Count probably doesn’t know that either.

Mondry looked at Tristan in silence.

I couldn’t read the thoughts of the young count in front of my eyes.

“If the Count says so, I understand. I will call the admissions director right away. I’m preparing for the specialist exam, but since it takes time, can I take it this afternoon?”

“… Does not matter.”

Even after saying this, Tristan seemed unconcerned.

Like really convinced that this girl has some talent.

It was simple interest that allowed the test.

Mondry was curious.

Tristan’s ulterior motive, the son of the only man he feared.

Because even that unlucky Milliam didn’t lie.

Mondry decided that it was okay to raise expectations.

If you fail the test anyway, just refuse.

Mondry rose from his chair.

There is still time, but you will have to start diligently to prepare for the exam.

he asked Tristan.

“Then, would you like to wait here for a while? Get ready for the exam right away.”

“There is a place I want to stop by before the exam.”

“Hmm?”

Mondry stroked his beard and asked.

“Where is that?”

*

“Bae, Countess… Go, come with me… .”

Wendy, who was following behind, said in a voice that seemed like she was about to cry.

I am going up the stairs now.

The main building of Meikahel University, in the center of the building there is a staircase leading into the air.

A place called the stairway of truth for students.

“Wendy, you go down. Is it okay if I go alone?”

“That, that… I want to do that too… .”

Wendy looks at me crying.

“I can’t go down… .”

There was nothing beneath her feet.

The Stairway of Truth is a special structure made of magic.

That is, it was transparent.

So, Wendy seemed to be floating in the air.

“Wendy. Calm down.”

“I’m sorry, Count. I guess I’ll come this far… .”

The words were so cute that I endured the fact that I almost laughed out loud.

It’s going to feel like a real death crisis to this guy.

“Isn’t that why I told you not to follow me?”

“That, but… I’m the count’s exclusive agent… That I should always be by the count’s side… .”

“… … .”

Anyway, only with the will ahead.

But coming this far must have been the result of this guy’s own courage.

I wasn’t rotten to the point of ignoring it.

I can’t help it.

I turned and went down the stairs one step at a time.

I stood in front of Wendy, feeling a strange sensation every time I stepped into the air.

she said, full of tears.

“Bae, Count… Leave me and go first… . Please remember that I didn’t cry until the end… Whoops.”

“… … Close your eyes.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t make me say it twice. Close your eyes.”

“Yeah… .”

Wendy, who obediently followed my instructions.

I took the guy’s hand.

Then, the shock of his small body was conveyed through his hand.

“Wendy. listen carefully.”

In fact, this staircase has a secret.

“You are now in the middle of the stairs.”

“Yes… .”

How to climb the invisible stairs created by this magic.

“I will hold your hand, so take one step at a time.”

“Yeah?! But I can’t see anything… .”

“Even if you open your eyes, it’s the same as not being able to see.”

In this magical staircase, the next step is created where you think.

So you just have to climb the stairs like normal.

“So close your eyes and go up the stairs like this.”

“Sniff… Count… What if there are no stairs in front of me… ? I don’t have myself… .”

In other words, only those who believe can climb the stairs.

“I don’t believe you?”

Therefore, if you don’t think you will fall, you will never fall down.

“Then trust me.”

“… … sniff.”

Wendy closed her eyes and wiped away her tears.

“I believe in the Count… .”

And Wendy slowly lifted her right foot.

one step.

The air supported her little feet.

left foot off

two steps.

After that, the pace accelerated.

Wendy bravely climbed the stairs.

Relieved, I took his little hand and climbed the stairs.

Looking around, I saw students who came out to study during vacation.

I climbed the high stairs and looked to see if there were any named characters among them, but there was no one.

As I climbed the stairs of truth, I stopped.

“Wendy.”

“Yes?”

“You can open your eyes now.”

The place unfolding before my eyes was much larger and grander than what I had read in the book.

“Arrived.”

It was the magic library that Meikahel University was proud of.
