Academy’s Second Seat

A few days after the incident.

“Rudy hey hey!!”

After class, Luna found Rudy and ran away calling out Rudy’s name.

And Ena and Rika, who were with Luna, watched it.

“Strange.”

Rika muttered to herself.

Then, Ena looked at Rika and asked.

“What is strange?”

“The accent in which Luna sings Rudy Astria? It’s kind of weird.”

“accent?”

When Ena asked, Rika rubbed her chin and looked up.

“Hmm… … Originally, when Luna sang Rudy Astria, it was ‘Rudy!’ You called me.”

“right?”

“But these days, ‘Rudey!’ That’s what I called it.”

When Anna heard the story, she was stunned for a moment.

“Why?”

“Ena! Don’t you know the difference between ‘Rudy!’ and ‘Rudi!’?”

“… … I don’t think anyone can come here now.”

Rika thought deeply and opened her mouth.

“Something ‘Rudy!’ feels familiar, but ‘Rudey!’ is a little different. something something… … something different.”

Ena looked at Rika for a moment and then smiled.

“Yeah, Rika seems to be a little savvy too.”

A few days ago, Luna’s attitude had become strange.

Although she was usually close with Rudy Astria, it felt like her bond became stronger.

Rudy Astria didn’t seem to have changed much.

However, Luna was different.

Rather than a close relationship as a friend or colleague… … .

“What happened… … .”

Ena looked at Rudy Astria with suspicious eyes.

Match!

Suddenly, Rika clapped her hands.

“Well?”

Ena looked at Rika like that.

Rika is smiling.

“Did you find out something?”

Rika smiled wider as she looked at Ena.

“no! I don’t know!”

“… … okay.”

Anna thought that she should come to her senses.

I don’t know how Luna feels, but I decided to help Luna as much as I could.

After the library fire, I had a very peaceful day.

Lee received a citation for his contribution to extinguishing the fire.

And, I don’t know what happened, but I also got my thanks from the professors.

They said it would be difficult to give a certificate of commendation, but I was told that I worked really hard.

Obviously I told Li to tell me that I ran away, but I don’t know what happened.

To be honest, how can anyone feel bad when everyone says thank you so much?

I just thought it would be nice and moved on.

Rumors about me didn’t spread among the students, so it didn’t seem like it would affect the story.

It wasn’t too much of a concern for Rie to receive the citation.

Rie was the guy who wiped out all the citations and awards when the game went on anyway.

However, there was one problem.

It was that Rie didn’t seem to think much of Evan.

Originally, Evan took the lead, and Li’s gaze turned to Evan.

I look at Evan with interest.

However, he was so busy with library affairs that he didn’t pay any attention to Evan.

“Is it twisted…”

Well, it was difficult to judge that it was already twisted.

I decided to watch it a bit more and decide.

There was one more good news.

My beginner magic level has reached 9.

Perhaps it is because of practical experience.

So far, I have studied the theory hard, but I have never had any practical experience.

However, as he suddenly had practical experience, his magic proficiency increased explosively.

Looking at the magical abilities now, it seemed that with a little more effort, I could reach intermediate magic.

My goal was to learn even a little bit of black magic before Limgan School.

That’s how I can survive in the forest school.

Of course, there were problems to be solved before that.

I opened the door to the student council room and entered.

“Uh, is Rudy Astria here?”

There were Astina and Rie.

“Rudy Astria, long time no see.”

Lie smiled and greeted me.

It wasn’t as radical as in the library case, but the way that Lie, who usually wore a mask, spoke.

I frowned and opened my mouth.

“I say half-words. Who else is here but us?”

“ha… … .”

When I said that, Rie sighed and crossed her legs.

“Well, you don’t have to hide it anymore.”

Rie spoke in a cold tone instead of her usual soft tone.

It was obviously a ferocious tone, but this made me feel more comfortable.

“Now, shall we talk about ‘the incident’?”

I was talking about the library case.

When the incident occurred, I was ignorant of it, but now it was time to explain it properly.

And it was time for me to be properly explained.

“First, Rudy Astria, tell me. How the hell do you know? Will Luna Railer cause such an incident?”

Astina asked me.

I took the magic book out of my bag.

Levin’s magic book.

It was the magic book that Luna handed over to me.

“This is the magic book that Luna had.”

“A magic book?”

Astina took the book and tried to open it.

“It would be better not to open it. If you make a mistake, this time Astina-senpai may run into a runaway.”

“… … okay.”

Astina listened to me and put down the spell book again.

“So what is this magic book?”

Lee asked me.

“Imperial Wizard, Levian’s Spellbook.”

“Levian… … ?”

Levian is a wizard famous for his magic circle.

Although it was not mentioned in the game, it seemed that he was a wizard who made a name for himself in the magic world of this world.

“When Luna was young, Levin died in Railer’s estate.”

“What?”

From what I found out, Levin wasn’t dead.

It was just a disappearance process.

Then I knew one thing.

The head of the Railer family, that is, Luna’s father, did not report Levian’s death to the imperial family.

“Why are you dead?”

“I don’t know the details, but I know it was death due to aging. This part could be wrong, so I just know.”

“Then why did Luna’s mind contamination happen?”

I told Astina about how to use this spell book.

A spell book that allows you to use the magic circle without scrolling.

Astina and Li both frowned upon telling the story.

“It’s an infinitely usable scroll… … . Why is this not known to the world? If there are several books like this… … .”

Astina paused as she spoke.

“… … Are you running away?”

I looked at Astina who was saying those words.

Because that’s what I was thinking too.

Levian made that deceptive spellbook and ran away.

And to find him, he was reported missing.

After Levian escaped, the place he reached was the Railer estate.

I could make some guesses.

“Who did you run away from?”

“I think we have to figure it out slowly. The fact that he ran away is only speculation, but it is not certain.”

“Then we should dig up on Levin first.”

Lee cleared the situation.

I listened to the story and thought for a moment before opening my mouth.

“But I wonder if I should find out.”

It didn’t matter to me what Levi’s plans were or who he was anyway.

Because the Academy had no influence on Levian except for this spell book.

“There is nothing wrong with knowing. Information can be life or money.”

Astina replied to my words.

Of course, it’s not wrong, but isn’t there a saying that ignorance can be medicine?

“Then I’ll try to figure it out first.”

So, I left Lie to do the research on Levin, and after a while I asked the two of them a question.

“We’re going to do that on this matter, so what’s your relationship with Astina-senpai?”

I asked Lee.

“alliance.”

“I make Lie emperor, and Lie makes me Marquis of Persia. This is our plan.”

Astina further explained Liie’s short words.

“Is it because of Uni?”

Uniphone Listonia.

She was the second princess of the Empire and a rival to Li.

In terms of ability, of course, Li had the lead, but Yuni had other support.

The support of the Astrian family.

Uni was supported by the Astrian family, that is, the aristocracy.

There are three factions in this game.

The rebels, the nobles, the emperors.

These three types of power confrontation were the main story of this game.

When we enter our sophomore year and Uni enters the academy, the structure of these three forces will be established.

“But can you say this to me?”

Even though I was an abandoned child, I belonged to the Astrian family.

The Astrian family is the head of the aristocratic faction.

But isn’t it strange to say something like this?

“You don’t even know if we say this?”

Lee said as if it were a no-brainer.

What the heck did you say? Are you saying that?

“It must be difficult for Rudy Astria to show off her name in politics. Well, I guess that’s why I think he’s a better colleague.”

Astina said as if she agreed with Rie’s words.

“So what are you going to do?”

When I asked, Lee answered.

“I will help you take the Astrian family head. Then all of our problems will not be solved.”

“… … What?”

@

I finished the conversation and went back to my room to think.

You want me to inherit the Astrian family?

This story was meant to completely twist the story.

And it wasn’t that easy.

First of all, the difference between my brother and I is too big.

taken from readwn.com

My older brother, who has already made a name for himself in politics, and me, who has even lost the head of the academy after joining the academy.

Comparing these two, no matter what anyone says, the family is inherited by the older brother.

“ha… … It hurts my head.”

I said I would understand in that situation, but I don’t know what the two of them are thinking.

“Rudy hey!!”

While I was in trouble, Luna came running to me calling my name.

Luna ran like that and looked at me and smiled.

“Rudy, where are you going to study today?”

After the library incident, Luna felt a little more energetic.

However, I lost the space to study.

The library had a fire and needed repairs, so the library was closed for a while.

It was possible to borrow books, but the space to read or study inside was not usable.

So these days, when I was studying with Luna, I used to rent a classroom.

I couldn’t rent the classroom alone, so I had to go and rent it with me.

Of course, Rika and Ena would also come along.

“Today, maybe you want to practice magic in the laboratory?”

Although I was deprived of the chief, the chief student lab was still available.

This is because a proper senior was judged by the total score after the semester was over.

I glanced at Rika and Ena behind them.

Since there are the two of you, it doesn’t matter since you can rent the classroom without me.

“that… … okay? I see.”

Luna made a sad face.

Then he changed his expression and opened his mouth.

“Then I can’t help it… Then later—”

“ah… … ! Oh right! Come to think of it, I guess I have to go to the lab because I have an assignment?”

As Luna was about to say that, Ena suddenly interrupted.

Ena was usually quiet, but she said something in a lively voice.

“uh?”

Luna looked at Ena like that for a moment.

“ah! ah! By the way, Rika! I think you should help! It’s a task related to water attribute magic!”

“number… … property?”

Rika said to Ena with a puzzled face.

“Luna… … I don’t think we can rent a classroom together… … I’m really sorry.”

“uh… … ? okay? I don’t have anything else to study… … .”

“What did I forget? And Luna can’t use water attribute magic… … I think Rika should help… … .”

Then Rika tapped her chest and said.

“Hmmm! right! Luna uses magic better than me! Water attribute magic is better for me—.”

Ena grabbed Rika’s wrist as she said that and started to go somewhere else.

“to? Go right away?”

“Luna! sorry!! Rika, come quickly.”

“Ugh.”

Me and Luna stared blankly at Ena, who was moving away, and Rika, who was dragged away.

“uh… … What?”

The two of them disappeared, so Luna couldn’t rent a space to study.

However, I couldn’t give up my magic practice today.

Now that the forest school is approaching, I had to reach the intermediate magic as soon as possible.

“… … Luna, would you like to go to the lab with me then?”

“yes… … ?”
