70 Mutualism Reincarnation of Peace Creator 'sMagician's

"Wait a minute Elis-san, I think I'm hearing just now, can you repeat what you just said again?"

Ilya-nee seems to can't believe what she just heard, it's understandable because me too, can't even believe what I just heard, I feel like I'm just hearing things.

"Like I said, please enroll him to Blotyce academy, he needs to get a proper education and be the best magician, he can get a brighter future and work for the kingdom"

Excuse me? I heard that there was a magic school was only for nobles to enter, at least that's what I heard before from Rosaku-san, I look at Ilya-nee and confused, why is she making such a sad expression on her face? well, I got surprised myself, but why is she making a sad expression instead? it's not like I want to go to the magic school or anything, I never planned on to go and attend this school, I want to stay and help Ilya-nee at the store, nothing else for now.

"I-I'm sorry I think I can't allow that Elis-san..."

"Why Ilya? don't you think it's a good thing to enroll your little brother to the magic academy?"

"B-but--"

"Don't worry about anything, I can enroll him under my name, I can't really enroll him under my family name, but I was one of that school's alumni and I just graduated last year, and I was one ofthe best graduates"

Ilya-nee look at me in confusion, I feel like something in her eyes is saying that she won't let me enroll in the magic academy, wait, no, no, what am I thinking about, it's not good to assuming something like that, I can't just decide Ilya-nee's feeling like that, but I think it's a chance to be able to attend the magic academy, I heard about the magic academy existence from Rosaku-san before, I don't really understand what kind of place was that, so I don't really take any interest to find out about it.

"Ilya, can't you consider it? I mean he could be the best magician once he graduates, I can see his potential, my hunch was right, he will be a strong magician, no doubt about it"

I don't really understand why Elis-nee keeps praising me, I don't have any idea of what she's talking about, her hunch? what hunch? and of course I will be a strong magician and be the best adventurer in the future, I want to protect everyone and I will use the money I get to build Ilya-nee a bigger store and house, I want to build an orphanage too.

"Why can't you allow it Ilya? at least please consider about it, he's 10 years old, right? it's perfect then, he can enroll soon and start when spring comes"

"What is happening here Ilya-nee?"

Yuika suddenly appear behind Ilya-nee, Aura is standing behind Yuika and just fidgeting with her fingers when I notices her, I think Yuika and Aura are a good friend now, I feel like there's no tension in their bound now, the atmosphere around them still feels heavy, but somehow it's nothing like before.

"Ah, nothing, just... Elis-san wants Erwin to attend Blotyce academy, but..."

"Eh, what is that? Blotyce academy? I never heard of it"

Yuika looks confused and tilted her head, it's understandable since we both live in the small village and never knew there was magic school existed all this time.

"That is the best magic school in this nation Yuika-chan, it's not related to any kingdoms, this academy is impartial, they are truly neutral and have a commitment to create the best magicians, the kingdoms in the nation always employ their alumnus and worked them as a royal magician, I also got offered to be a royal magician, but I wanted to be a magic researcher instead, so I refused the offer"

I still confused with what happened here, I suddenly want to enroll in that academy, Elis-nee said the academy produces the best magician and I wanted to be one, I want to be the best adventurer in the future with my magic, it's a promise I made with myself, and here, I got that chance to be the best magician by attending the Blotyce academy and study there.

"But, Elis-san, that school is for nobles, right? and we're just a commoner who lives in a small village, we can't afford such money to enroll in that magic academy"

Ah, Ilya-nee is right, why didn't I think of that, even Elis-nee said I can enroll under her name, I still need to pay for the education cost of that academy, we can't afford it easily and there's no way we'd ask Elis-nee to do it.

"That's not a problem, Blotyce academy has a special entrance test, if you can pass it, there will be scholarship provided"

Eh? did I just get another hope? a scholarship means I will be free of charge, right? I turn my face and look at Ilya-nee, she still looks confused, it feels like her feelings are still unsettled, her face is saying that she's troubled with something, I don't really understand what's she worried about.

"Ilya, Erwin-kun can be a great asset for this kingdom, he can also help me to get a magical researcher position, then that's fair, right?"

'Eh... I don't really think that you're planning on something good Elis-san"

"Wait, I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, I mean, if I can help Erwin-kun can get that scholarship, I can also gain influence, we can work together, you see"

Ilya-nee look at me still with an unsettled feeling behind her look, I sense a nervousness behind her smile at Elis-nee and me, I can feel something concerned her, I think it's not something pleasant for her to remember, I can see her expression start to be gloomy.

"I'm sorry Elis-san, let me think of it first"

Ilya-nee left us that words before leaving this place, Yuika and Aura looks dumbfounded and didn't say anything, they just keep looking at Ilya-nee walk further and further back to the house, I can't really see her because the yard is just so big, I wonder if Ilya-nee got tired of walking that far now.

"What is it all about actually?"

Yuika is walking closer to Elis-nee, she looks so confused all the time when Elis-nee and Ilya-nee are having a conversation about the Blotyce academy and Elis-nee's plan on making me enroll for that academy.

"It's nothing matter Yuika-chan, we're just discussing things about Blotyce academy"

"That again? I was listening to the conversation and can't catch a single thing of what Elis-san and Ilya-nee been talking about"

"U-um..."

"Don't mind it Yuika-chan, it's nothing matter, seriously"

"Then, I will be borrowing Erwin from you Elis-san, excuse me"

Yuika just walk and grab my left arm, she then pulled it without saying a single word to me, I can only follow her from behind, Aura is also walking next to me, we're both just following Yuika without knowing where she would take us.

Ah, I remember something, I turn my head and yell to call Elis-nee, we've already walked a few meters away from her, so it will be hard for Elis-nee to hear my voice if I don't yell, so I decided to wave my hand too and call her.

"Elis-nee... I'm the winner of the match, right?"

"Oh, Yeah... You won, hahaha, that was a good match"

Elis-nee just gives me a thumb up and wave at me back, I keep my eyes on her even when she's turning away and face the wooden planks that still left on the training ground.

Elis-nee is such a hard worker eh.
