"Are you... Yuven"

Long time no see, Theo.

Theo and the girl on the stairs, Yuven, interact.

Lynn finally realized she was talking to Theo, not herself, after listening to the two exchanges.

Do you know Theo?

"Yuven, were you ambushing me?"

Theo dazzles the girl with vigilance, Yuven.

"Ambush? Ah-ha."

Lynn was giddy.

Because the way Yuven laughed was so cold.

That was exactly the way I laughed that I deserved the expression cold smile.

"Why should I ambush you? It just so happens to be decided, doesn't it?

Lynn was restless. Her voice was adorable as a teenager but somewhere she had a seizure disorder.

Fu and Yuven looked at Lynn.

"Ah, nice to meet you. My name is Lynn. Theo and I are friends..."

"Theo, I learned a lot about magic tricks while you were playing in the factory."

Yuven ignores Lynn and keeps talking to Theo.

Apparently she was not in the eye except Theo.

"I will soon be certified in the middle class. Of the 64th graders, you and I were the only ones who were able to activate" The Sword of Ridges "on the entrance exam... but that's a lot of difference."

"... we'll catch up soon."

"What do you think? College subjects are very difficult. Can you ever be that good without a noble, decent master?

That being said, Yuven seemed to have a glance at Theo. Lynn realized that they were rivals.

(Is that it? But "Ridges Sword" sounds like I activated it too...)

I thought so, but Lynn kept quiet. There was a tingling air between them and it didn't have a very mouth pinching vibe.

"Isn't nobility a junior nobleman? You're very much the same as a civilian."

"It's going to change. Because he's a beautiful nobleman even though he's a junior nobleman. Theo, if you say anything weird about my identity, I'll kill you."

"I won't. Such a bad taste."

"Yes, that's fine."

"What are you doing, Master Juventina"

A middle-aged woman in a black robe broke in from the entrance to the college.

"Classes on 'Substance Generation' will begin soon. The professor is a tough man on time. You can't take credit for selling oil here."

"I know, Master. I was just about to go."

Lynn turned her eyes round to the interaction between the two. Doesn't this make you more of a squire than a master?

This is what nobility is called.

It is very different from the pattern between Lynn and Yuin.

"Well, that's why. Unlike you, I'm busy. I'm leaving now. Good afternoon."

Yuven runs down the stairs. Her master followed her later. In the end, Yuven never spoke out against Lynn.

"You're noble now, aren't you?"

"Oh. You saw the silver clasp, didn't you? All the noblemen wear them. That's not how it's decided. See, nobility likes to boast its identity."

"That's amazing, Theo. I can't believe I know a nobleman."

"Nothing. I'm just the same age in my hometown."

"A childhood tame?

"He's just a jerk."

"... sounds like it"

(That's quite different from Atrea...)

Lynn thought as she looked back at her cold attitude.

(I wonder why I mistook her for Atrea. They say it's completely different from personality to appearance)

Lynn tilted her neck.

"Let's go too. It's going to start the entrance ceremony."

"Those who solve magic can understand every language present in the continent of Retoggia, while also communicating their own will to those who do not solve magic. The magic word cannot be understood by the unqualified of the magician, but by putting magic on the word, it can be forced to understand by working directly on the other's brain. In this way we have been able to communicate perfectly with people from different linguistic areas of the continent without having to acquire other languages simply by mastering magic. It is thanks to this great magic word and to the archmage mentor Gaelias who knitted it that you can converse as easily as your neighbors, even between human beings of completely different nationalities, different linguistic regions and different nations. His achievements go beyond that. He realized that there were only a few non-human and non-living beings who spoke their own language. And that they can be incorporated into magic. Using magic words, we can converse with non-human animals and warcraft, with spirits of fire and water, with any substance with mass, with natural phenomena, and even with the law itself, and by ordering them, or negotiating them, or being funny, or by contracting them, we magicians can manipulate them freely and cause supernatural phenomena. It is also Gaelias who has compiled a basic theory about these commonly called magical events. The College was founded by Gaelias himself to collectively develop his legacy. You passed the entrance exam for this college, which is difficult, and you joined the Magic Instructor of the Tower, who will take over Gaelias' performance in the sunshine. But this is just the beginning. You must defeat all temptations and strive diligently to advance towards the 1000 th floor of this tower, the" inhabitants of the sky ", which is also the culmination of the Magic Master..."

This is the entrance ceremony venue. Freshmen gathered together were sitting in chairs and being heard talking about the Dean of the College on the stage.

Lynn was blurring and listening. I can't really concentrate even though I think I need to ask properly. I was curious about what a girl named Yuven had said earlier.

—— Can you ever be that good without a noble, decent master ——

(I wonder what the hell that means)

When I think about it, I never get an answer.

What she said was hard to get away from Lynn's head and glued around.

"That's it from me. Then I wish you good luck."

The Dean of the Academy strictly says and gets off the stage.

(Have you finally finished talking?)

Lynn was horrified that her boring time was finally over.

"Next up is a story from Dr. Manuenne."

(Does it still go on)

Lynn was fed up, but when she saw that it was a plump beauty with a bright red rouge on her lips who stood on the stage, she switched her mind and concentrated all her nerves on the stage.

"Hello everyone. I'm Manuenne, and let me tell you something. This is how I attended the admissions ceremony when I was new to college, just like all of you. You miss it like yesterday. Now, let me talk about the basic rules and structure of this college."

Manuenne begins her explanation with a bright voice that often passes with a smiling look on her face. You seem like a friendly teacher, Lynn thought.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you know that in this tower there are restrictions on admission to each floor to match the level of the Magic Instructor, right? You are all restricted from traveling in the elevator by the color of the robe and the ID engraved on the back of your hand. If you break your entry restrictions and break into your own unauthorized hierarchy, I know you won't do that first, but if you do, your safety and your life cannot be guaranteed. Even more penalties are imposed by the people of our Association of Magic Instructors. So please be careful not to break into a hierarchy where entry is prohibited."

she said with a grin.

"Everyone who is currently a graduate student can enter and exit Alfredo, a college city that is formed between the 50th and 99th floors. Of course, as always, you can get in and out of areas below 50 tiers without any problems. However, only elementary class classes are available for everyone who is new to the college. You must have earned the applicable credits for the elementary class to take classes of intermediate or higher. Please be aware that if you go to a classroom above the middle class right now, you will be paid in advance unless you have special permission."

(Does that mean I can take intermediate classes even in the first class with special permission?)

Lynn thought strangely.

"Finally. If you disqualify as a graduate student, you will be banned from entering and leaving Alfld. In that case, be aware that after being pulled back by Renlil, you will never be able to return to more than 50 levels."

"Next, congratulations from Tidro Sanjes, Chief of the High Class of the Year."

Then a red-haired, stern-faced college student appears on the stage. Lynn saw the look on his face and at a glance found him to be a powerful man. The confident expression and calm heavy waist already had a style reminiscent of a cheap person. Lynn wondered if he was any better as a magician than the Dean of the Academy.

"Uh, freshmen. Congratulations on enrolling. I'm glad to see more of you on the same path. People have their own motives for trying to enroll in this college. Those who seek to go as high as possible in this tower, those who entrust themselves to their homeland or province to try to be useful, or who are still unable to make up their minds about the way forward. To be honest, there is no such thing as aspiration, and some people will be trying to be magicians somehow. But......"

Tidro once cut the word and looked around the venue. An indescribable sense of tension runs to the freshmen exposed to his sharp eyes. Lynn accidentally stretched her spine as well.

"Let those half-way there go, and the aspirant should just build a drill for a high-ranking magician."

The venue quiets down. Tidro laughed and continued the conversation.

"I can't help but think of someone who walks around forever. You're only in your first year. But I wouldn't shy away from it just because it's my first year. Some of the subjects you can take are intermediate and higher class classes. Especially the Warcraft Silly 'Hedin Forest' Exploration Team, which I want everyone to go for. Only higher class demon mentors can enter the original 'Hedin Forest'. However, the top performers in the end-of-semester test are specifically given the right to join the 'Hedin Forest' exploration team. That's about the chance for you in the elementary class to make contact with the Warcraft and Spirit. My guild, Magrillheim, is always looking for promising recruits. I'm going to scout the top graders for the end-of-semester test. Whoever thinks I am must win this privilege. There are plenty of other opportunities to interact with the Superior Mage. It would also be nice to participate in these and be inspired. Anyway, if you want to represent a headline over people, it's important to get ahead of yourself. Be sure to show me your powers soon. That's what inspires us, too. Not from me."

Tidro gets off the stage in a gracious manner. A round of applause arose from the venue. We were all definitely the most serious listeners ever.

(I knew you'd be a great man to be chief.)

Lynn was listening a little overwhelmed. At the same time, I feel anxious and anxious. Isn't he who is somehow trying to be a magician exactly about himself? On the other hand, there was also a new willingness to gush.

Although I wasn't sure about Tidro's story, I found that he could interact with a high-ranking magician one step ahead of the other students if he scored well in the final semester exam anyway.

(Exploration team for "Hedin Forest"......, I wonder if I can see Atrea if I can get in there)

"Now we have a description of the subject selection. This will take place in a separate room, so please follow the instructions in the paperwork at hand."
