The Greatest Architect

Huh?

Julian opens his eyes wide.

It was Julian who raised his head in his own way. I decided to ask Lloyd what happened in Cremo.

As soon as I lifted my head, that spirit and determination flew away.

Because I saw Lloyd's face and I lost my mind?

It wasn't.

The back of Lloyd sitting across from the table.

It was because I found a man approaching over his shoulder.

Diego?

He was a student at the same academy.

He was the same age as himself.

But he was much bigger than himself.

Of course, I was strong, and my voice was loud.

Fortunately, I came to the Academy at the same time, so I was able to get along well.

At least not for the first month since I started here.

But after that…….

“Julian Frontera. You, I told you not to eat in the dorm in plain sight. ”

Diego's voice suddenly approaches and growls low.

The voice threatens to pierce one eardrum.

Julian bows his head without my knowledge.

You see Diego's fallen hands on the table.

‘Why now? ’

Julian resented the situation.

I've been seeing Lloyd for a long time. I was always trying not to lose my temper with my half-brother.

But now, here I am, faced with Diego growling like a cannibal.

Bad luck was too bad.

“Oh, well……. ”

“Well. ”

“ ……. ”

Julian sobs.

I felt frustrated by Diego's gaze at Julian like that.

‘You're a bastard. ’

Diego hated Julian.

Of course, it was not from the beginning.

Diego was lonely when he entered the Academy here at Magenta University.

I didn't recognize any of them because they were from far away.

But there was someone who reached out to him.

It was Julian.

‘Hey, I was here yesterday. ’

Just one day difference.

I went to school around the same time.

Moreover, it turned out that I was very close to home.

I was reliant on my last moments.

And so I became allied with Julian.

I've been sticking around all month.

Then I was surprised.

Julian was smart and clever.

Grammar, rhetoric, logic, law, natural philosophy, geometry, and even astronomy.

Plus, I was sincere.

Using the same room in the dormitory, Diego had never seen Julian sleep late.

I always woke up an hour earlier than everyone else. I cleaned up, ate breakfast dressed nicely, and prepared lessons for the day early.

So I was amazed.

Just for a month.

‘I realized in a month that I don't need that kind of intelligence, sincerity or anything. ’

Diego chuckles.

The fact that I realized at the end of my one month academy life.

When I thought about it, I smiled bitterly.

Here at Magenta University, the Academy was founded for the study of noble children.

However, the study was not very important to the students here.

In fact, there was something far more important than studying.

It was a family heirloom.

It was a family network formation.

It was the politics of the formed network.

They forge relationships between families early on and build their own cartel and sanctuary. Keep it. Take it with you for life. Even after each family member inherits it, they keep taking it. I fear for the relationship and defend my power.

Such aristocratic implicit interest groups. Their own cartel.

It was here at the Academy that the foundation of the relationship was shaping and building.

‘Funny thing. But it's undeniable. ’

The world is power.

Maintains strong power through relationships.

You can have them study hard separately.

From the moment I realized the truth, Diego changed.

"Don't pretend to know me from today on. ’

The first thing Diego did was stay away from Julian.

After refining, I warned Julian not to pretend to be close.

Julian had a curious reaction at first.

You don't seem to understand what this means.

That's why I gave him a grip to convey his intentions.

The bruise on one eye made him tired.

Likewise, the reason for staying away from Julian was simple.

‘He's the son of a country scum baron. ’

The noblest of the nobles.

No power, no reputation.

So I had no reason to be friendly.

No, if we were friends for no reason, we'd be at risk of joining the same bottom class.

Diego thought it was the worst.

‘My family doesn't make a name for itself. ’

In fact, the Diego family was just a writer.

With its own specialties, there was plenty of economic situation, but it was not brave enough for the royal aristocrats.

That's why Diego was humiliated.

I stuck with the top sequence students at the Academy.

The king also agreed with the disciples of the noble family.

If you struggle, you become their paw.

In the meantime, I haven't forgotten to harass the children of low-ranking families like Julian.

It was an act to constantly remind people that he was clearly different from the children of the lower family and that he was drawing a line.

In other words, Diego became a dedicated hound for the royal family.

It was the same now.

Hunting dogs prove their existence by hunting.

Diego looks at Julian's face as if he were watching a game.

“I'm asking you now. Why were you thinking of eating here? ”

“ ……. ”

“Answer.”

“Oh, well……. ”

“That?”

“Today the situation is a little bit so……. ”

“Situation? Situation? ”

“ ……. ”

“When someone comes to see you, you don't just talk about it, and exceptions apply? Huh?”

“ ……. ”

“What do we learn in law school? The law is not soft. And now you're breaking the law. ”

“ ……. ”

“What was the law here? ”

“That's ……. ”

“Baron families do not eat carelessly in plain sight. Because it bothers me. Have you forgotten?”

“ ……. ”

Julian's mouth is shut.

I gnawed my molar.

I wanted to argue. I wanted to settle for that nonsense.

But I couldn't.

If you do that, you'll be exhausted.

No one protects themselves like that. No one shouts unjustly, no one listens.

The reason is simple.

Their families are much more powerful.

The memories of harassment and helplessness already engraved on her body a dozen times suppressed Julian's refusal.

Julian looks at Lloyd instead of rebelling against Diego.

The look of asking for help?

It wasn't.

‘Don't mind me. ’

He said with a look at Lloyd.

I need you to stay out of this.

If you don't want to interfere and raise a job, who will be in the family? You'll get caught up in useless conflict.

So pretend you don't know.

Just pretend you didn't see me and move on.

So Lloyd, who was watching the situation, responded with a glance.

‘Yes, of course. Why would I? "

Lloyd shrugs.

I raised my eyebrows as if to see.

In fact, at first I thought, what is the situation?

However, I was able to understand the overall framework just by looking at it for a brief moment.

It was a sight I had often seen in South Korea.

‘Well, it's obvious. That's bullying. "

Bullshit.

School violence.

I was born and raised in Korea, and I saw it everyday.

Of course, he had never been beaten by anyone.

I could only see so many of them around me.

Even in elementary school.

In middle school or high school.

There was always logic behind the classroom, like the jungle.

The so-called fabulous journeys, they cling to such joys.

Once shot by those guys, my school life got very hard. No, it wasn't just hard enough.

All kinds of inhuman harassment and exploitation followed me naturally.

Everyone's relaxing, but everyone's around.

Things that cannot be far from students in Korea.

That was school violence.

But it didn't seem very different here.

‘People live here, too. ’

Lloyd looks at Julian across the table.

He was short and small.

Besides, the family is worthless.

Of course, based on the entire kingdom, the baron's status is great.

But the problem was that this was Magenta University, the Academy.

‘Only those who are recommended by nobles are eligible for admission. ’

That's what Julian was recommended for.

I entered with the baron's back.

And it would have been branded as the lowest order among the students of this academy.

But Lloyd doesn't let go.

I just watched the situation.

Because Julian told you to?

It wasn't.

‘Let's wait and see. ’

I didn't want to intrude.

He's just a man passing through here for a while. He may just visit here for one day and never come back.

But what if we got into this situation and we got a job?

Stop that threat.

Defeat that threat.

And go back.

What if he doesn't come back?

What if Julian stays here by himself?

‘Only he will suffer more. ’

Refinement and relief are only brief.

A more severe harassment than ever will befall Julian.

It was Lloyd who had already seen many such sights in Korea.

‘So let's figure it out first. ’

Lloyd's eyes widen as he watches the situation.

How much could Julian stand up for himself in a situation like this? What level of harassment is Julian in?

I don't know how to cut it off.

What preparation will be needed in the process.

Lloyd watches the situation silently, thinks and calculates.

Meanwhile, Diego's remarks toward Julian gradually crossed the line.

Diego raises his big palm like a cauldron.

He slapped Julian's small head.

“So you and your family should tremble. Honestly, is there anything you want to do for your family? Fresh air, fresh water? Dirty peasants? There's something else. ”

Tsk, tsk.

“On the other hand, what about my family? You have a specialty that the Kingdom recognizes. You know, Laconata. Last year, my father told me about it. ”

Tuck, tutu!

“So if you're from a ruffian family, please be a little less rugged, huh? We can eat in plain sight. Do you understand?”

Tuck, tuck, tuck!

The palm of Julian's head.

The power in the palm of his hand is getting fiercer.

At first, I wanted to touch him, but then I almost slapped his head.

“So don't make fun of me, huh? Don't you have eyes? ”

“ ……. ”

Julian was unable to resist and was constantly taking violent action. The only defense I tried to defend was the clumsiness of my head.

His sleeves were slightly dried.

In the meantime, my forearm appeared to me.

His forearms were bruised.

From old, yellow bruises.

Not long ago, a clear vein.

Julian's slender forearms were truly endless.

It wasn't a day or two.

The moment I saw it.

Lloyd made up his mind.

And a moment ago, I looked at one clue in my ear.

"Laconata. I thought you looked familiar. ’

Lloyd's eyes widen as he looks at Diego.

The calculations were swirling in my head.

Operation established.

Actions and consequences. Actions and reactions. A thread that gets tangled up. Predictions and processes. Ultimate conclusions.

“What's your father doing? ”

Chin up with one hand.

I asked with a bad but low voice.

Diego's hand stops as he strikes towards Julian.

His gaze flickers back toward this side for the first time.

“What?"

Diego's eyebrows twitch to see Lloyd.

I cast a ferocious glance at Lloyd, who just delivered his father.

What the hell is this? ’

Earlier, I saw you sitting across from Julian.

But it was Diego who ignored it.

I thought you were a visitor to see Julian, who seemed to be a bit of a chatterbox after all. I thought it would be the same, since we're friends.

So I didn't care.

But now, that trembling friend is throwing a rash of words at him.

“I asked. What's your father doing? ”

“Ha, wise and merciful, Birkhoff. Who the hell are you? ”

“What? You don't know me? ”

“What?"

Somehow Lloyd was awake.

You stand face to face with the great Diego.

He smiles coldly.

“Oh, my God. Even the Knights of Iron Blood say so. Geographically, Lacona and her son don't know each other well because they have very little practical interaction or commute with neighbors. Seeing as you don't recognize me, it's true. ”

“What are you... Knng!?" ”

Tuck!

It was the moment Diego was about to greet.

Lloyd's forward kick, stretched out like an island, blazes Diego's mark.

“Knng!”

It was a kick, turning a circle around.

Diego's body folds.

I flew backwards.

I smashed two tables and rolled into a ditch.

One of Lloyd's lips dries up fiercely.

He's out of luck.

You picked the wrong place, wrong opponent.

At the Academy sponsored by the King, you showed disrespect to the noble guests invited by the King. Even if the principal comes here, he can't blame me.

Besides...

“What are you doing? I take it your wise, compassionate father hasn't told you about the monks yet? ”

Lloyd's voice produced genuine compassion and compassion.
