14 – Scene 014# Admission

*

The ride comfort of Ruelbertaga’s wagon is always good.

From the wheels to the interior materials of the carriage, it was like a top-notch carriage made to order.

It can be said that the ride comfort is comparable to that of a luxury sedan in reality.

No, actually I’ve never ridden a luxury sedan.

Far from being a luxury sedan, the only car I’ve driven is a taxi because the last train was cut off.

To be able to enjoy the luxury of being a game character that you couldn’t enjoy in real life.

It’s something to live for a long time.

“Wow… .”

Wendy is looking out the window and her eyes are shining.

This is a reaction like a 12-year-old child.

“Wendy.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Where is your hometown?”

I folded the newspaper and put it in the compartment of the carriage.

Wendy replied hesitantly.

“ah… It’s a place called Richard. Perhaps the Count doesn’t know.”

“Well.”

A place I really don’t know.

If it’s a place that I haven’t even heard of, it must be quite rural.

“Then Ludlow must be the first.”

“Yes! Hey, I’ve seen it from afar, but it’s the first time I’ve come here.”

Ludlow.

Archipelago of the Meikahel Empire.

It is the heart and largest city of the empire.

With mountains on all sides along the river, this place resembles Seoul in Korea.

It probably reflects Sora’s taste.

Still, there are differences from Seoul.

The biggest difference is that this place is protected by magic.

A carriage passes through the magnificent gates.

At the same time, it passed through a barrier resembling an aurora in the North Pole.

Then the wagon we rode also changed.

“Oh oh… ! It got cold all of a sudden!”

It was as it was said.

Ludlow is protected by the ice barrier of the Elsink family, a prestigious family in the Empire.

That’s why it was always winter inside the barrier.

“Hey… .”

Wendy blew out a strange breath.

Normally, she would have been restless sitting in the carriage, but she was responding appropriately for her age to the excitement of arriving at the island for the first time in her life.

If you think about it, Wendy’s life was all miserable, both in the original work and in the game.

They died from beatings by Tristan, from illness, or from accidental deaths.

And her death brings about the destruction of Tristan.

I never wish for that.

Wendy, blowing on her breath, shivered as if it were cold.

I took off my coat and handed it to her.

“Put it on.”

“Yeah…eh?!”

Wendy waved her hand in amazement.

“I-I don’t dare wear something like this… !”

“I catch a cold.”

“I-I’m from the countryside, so I don’t catch a cold!”

yes. no. There is also an ending in which you catch a cold and die.

Well, saying that would be useless, so I chose the easiest way.

“It is an order.”

“Hick… !”

Wendy bowed her head at those words.

Because she was an attendant, orders were absolute.

Wendy hesitantly accepted the coat.

“But the ship, the Count… ? Aren’t you cold?”

“It’s okay.”

There was also a thick layer of fat, but now I can endure it enough because I have ‘patience’.

I casually put a coat on Wendy.

In case you don’t want to take it off easily, I’m going to have a full button.

“Huh… .”

Wendy is at a loss.

It is quite oversized because of the large size.

Fortunately, the coat was quite high quality, so at first glance, she looked like the daughter of an aristocratic family.

Well. It’s worth it.

Satisfied enough.

Then, Wendy, who had her head down, asked.

“I, Count… ! I have a question… .”

Ho?

“What is it?”

Is this guy asking a question first?

I found this situation quite interesting, so I decided to listen to Wendy.

“That, that… Why did the Count, why did you make me his exclusive?”

Oh, was that really it?

Wendy grabbed the collar of her coat and crouched down as if she was not confident.

“I am the youngest among the people who work in the mansion… I’m still clumsy at work, and I make a lot of mistakes. For sure… It won’t help the Count… .”

“Wendy.”

“Nyeet!”

“You are already helping me.”

“yes… ? Me?”

Wendy asked in disbelief.

“Yes. You are always clumsy and only make mistakes. Sometimes it’s really stupid.”

“Yeah!?”

“But.”

The carriage stopped.

I slowly got up from my seat.

“Nevertheless, you keep trying. No matter how many times you fail, you never give up.”

“That, that’s just me being ugly… .”

“I have high expectations of you.”

“… … .”

Wendy, lost in thought.

That should be enough.

What she needs right now is confidence.

I just got off the carriage.

Wendy, who got off after her, looked around curiously.

“Hey, this is… ?”

The first thing that caught my eye was the huge arched door.

And beyond that door, a white, snow-covered campus stretched out.

“school… Are you?”

“This is Machel University.”

“Meh, Meikahel University?! here?”

“yes. Do you know?”

Meikahel University is the best educational institution in the empire and is said to be at the forefront of magical education.

Only a select elite could step on the school gate here.

“Yeah… This is a school for people who are good at studying… .”

“This is the school you will attend from now on.”

“… … yes?”

Wendy asked me back with a face that said she couldn’t keep up with the conversation.

“My exclusive maid must be the best in every way.”

“Yes? oh yeah… ?”

“yes. Then, of course, shouldn’t you have the ability to attend at least the best university in the country?”

Wendy’s face went pale.

Mondry wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When he was young, he was a man who rose to the position of an imperial mage with his excellent magic skills.

And he devoted a whopping 50 years to serving the imperial family.

Eventually, as he approached the age of retirement, the imperial family gave him the position of president of Meikahel University, which was praised as the best in the empire.

It was truly an honor.

Until now, no one had disturbed Mondry’s smooth life.

Except for one person.

‘Milliam Ruelberta… .’

The man blocked Mondry’s path at every turn.

It couldn’t have been a bad thing.

A person who can’t use a single spell dares to criticize himself for being close to a sage.

It was absolutely unacceptable.

But on the other hand, it was unavoidable.

The funds for Meikahel University, which was established by the imperial family, came from the Ruelberta family, not from the national treasury.

If he made a mistake with someone from that family, he could have fallen from the position of president.

So, when Mondry heard the news of Milliam’s death, he was more than happy.

He had nothing to fear now.

“Lord Mondry.”

“Yes.”

A cold voice calling his name.

It was a voice Mondry knew well.

“Did you understand me?”

Mondry looked at the man in front of him.

He’s a pretty fat young man.

He was showing off his presence enough to fill the spacious president’s office.

The only one who is so proud in front of Mondry is the dead Milium Ruelberta… I thought.

“Yes. Count. You are here to apply for admission. But… That’s a bit troublesome.”

“Why?”

“The application for admission was closed as of yesterday.”

“Then what is it?”

Tristan holds out his hand, and the girl next to him puts up a newspaper.

And he pointed to a page in the newspaper to Mondri.

None other than Meikahel University’s admissions schedule.

“This… This is the selection schedule for special talent selection.”

“Isn’t there still time left?”

“hahahaha. It’s unfortunate, but this year we selected all the special talents.”

“Have you selected all of them?”

Count Tristan asked.

A mockingly unpleasant attitude.

The sight reminded Mondry of the dead Milliam.

“Even though the application period is still left?”

“Yes… . The Count may not know it, but if there are excellent students, it’s normal to select them before taking them from other schools.”

It’s not exactly wrong.

The students who apply for the special talent selection are all descendants of high-ranking nobles.

All of them are full of talent.

It was an inevitable choice to bring outstanding students first.

“So, no matter how much the count asks… .”

“ask?”

“?!”

At that moment, Mondry flinched.

A feeling of dread permeated every nook and cranny of his body.

He almost unwittingly used defensive magic.

said Tristan.

“When did I ask you?”

It wasn’t magic.

It wasn’t even a plausible trick.

that’s… It was the anger of the young man in front of his eyes.

The youth’s fury was clearly sharpening its edge against Mondry.

“Lord Mondry. Say it again.”

Mondri had to tremble at the nightmare as if the dead Millium had been resurrected.

“Does this really look like a request?”
