Chapter 52

“If Ruid was originally perceived as mysterious, now he is completely praised? “No matter where I go, I only hear about Ruid.”

After finishing speaking, Hercy smiled proudly. I felt proud of myself for no reason.

“So that’s it.”

‘Ugh.’

Ruid sighed inwardly.

Amelia had an upright personality.

Given her personality, I didn’t expect her to take credit for the warlock incident... but

I never expected she would take all the credit for herself.

‘Ame, you’re an idiot.’

I left a portion on purpose so that I could get a lot of plus points.

He was a fool who didn’t even know how to use it. Ruid was truly worried about Amelia.

You’re such a brat, how are you going to live later?

When it comes to dating, I’m sure he’s the type of person who will give a hundred percent and a lot of gall.

Married later...

‘Marriage?’

No, no, no. The thought of Amelia marrying an unknown and unscrupulous man made me angry.

Marriage was a decision against all odds. From this moment on, until she died, Amelia could not get married.

“...By the way, didn’t Amelia tell you?”

“Ame-san doesn’t want to talk about that incident.”

Hercy smiled weakly.

“As expected, we get along well. “I’m sure he’s doing it because he’s worried about Ruid.”

“You’re overprotective.”

Hercy covered her mouth and laughed at Ruid’s firm words.

“As expected, I’m jealous.”

“...Being banned from going out for a month?”

“It’s a sign of affection. If you’re not interested, you don’t do that. Even my father...”

Hercy pursed his lips.

There seemed to be some complicated circumstances.

“Ah, anyway, I am blessed. The family gets along well. It’s very rare among noble families. Especially high-ranking Windsor-level families.”

Hercy laughed awkwardly. I wanted to avoid this topic, so I deliberately changed the subject.

“...Is Ruid never coming to the academy?”

“no.”

Ruid didn’t want to be limited by anything.

“If you want to go, go, if not, don’t go.”

Because I pursue freedom.

If I want to sleep at Delrin’s lake, I’ll sleep there, and if the villain of the century appears, I won’t go if it’s bothersome. Just take Hercy and Amelia and run away.

‘I don’t know about people. I wonder if I could become the president of the Academy later.’

Even when he thought about it himself, Ruid chuckled at the absurd idea.

**

Humans have three major needs.

Sleep, appetite, and finally sex drive.

However, perhaps because Ruid was young, he needed more fun instead of sexual desire.

...I was really bored after staying in the mansion for a week and just sleeping.

That was the reason I came here.

“Kuh, should I get some cushions?”

The swordsman’s club leader’s office.

Amelia, an orphan but basically cold, was pacing around uncharacteristically restless.

There is only one thing in the world that can make her like this.

It was Luid.

‘I can’t believe he’ll really come...’

Amelia put one condition on Ruid, prohibiting him from going out.

Don’t go out without confidence. In other words, you can go outside at any time as long as you are by your side.

It was a subtle selfishness, but I had no expectations.

This is because Ruid was the type of person who enjoyed playing alone even at Windsor Castle, such as playing with inorganic objects and experiencing slime.

“It’s okay because I have a pillow.”

“Oh, or a cushion? “What about the blanket?”

“I don’t use a blanket when I sleep outside.”

I was planning on manufacturing blankets when the very cold winter came. It was fall now, and the cool breeze felt very pleasant.

‘It’s a treasure trove belonging to someone of the emperor’s level, so there must be material for bedding.’

I clearly remembered that I had gotten one ticket to the treasure chest through Damon’s work. It will come in handy when winter comes.

“Then...”

“Sister.”

Ruid looked at Amelia sheepishly.

“I’m fine, just mind your business.”

“But.”

Amelia seemed like she wanted to do something for Ruid.

“Well, I told you to go to work.”

“Okay, okay.”

Amelia sat down.

I picked up the document with awkward movements.

Before holding the pen, I looked at Ruid again.

“If there’s something uncomfortable or something you want to do...”

“Work.”

“...huh.”

Amelia looked at the document again sullenly.

[The resignation of Imperial Academy President Clifford.]

‘...Let’s do this later.’

It wasn’t a problem that could be solved right away, and I wanted to hide this fact from Ruid.

Amelia didn’t want to cause any trouble for Ruid.

Crumbling.

It was time to sign a few times and hand over the documents.

Jeeee.

“....”

“But it’s true...”

Amelia scratched her head.

“...?”

Ruid gave a bewildered look.

“Shall I fix it for you?”

“you can do it?”

“It’s easy.”

Although it was not possible to restore the collapsed bricks, the broken magic circle could be restored.

Ruid took out his wand.

I scratched my messy hair and approached the broken wall.

I figured out the composition of the magic circle.

A fairly complex magic trick.

‘It’s... messier than I thought.’

I think I’ll have to use up some mental energy.

If I had known this would happen, I would have passed by with blurry eyes.

But it was already too late.

It was a bit embarrassing that I promised Amelia to help her but then didn’t.

Ruid closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.

‘What kind of idiot made this??’

The magic department was right next to the swordsmanship grant, and the level was serious.

In coding, for example, something that would have been sufficient in one line was expressed over 10 lines.

In this case, a lot of horsepower is used, which immediately leads to a decrease in performance.

Ruid put his staff against the wall and reconstructed the technique.

‘...The optimization was stupid, but the idea is good.’

Usually, protection magic cast on these walls creates a light barrier around the wall.

But in this case, like a strong magnet, the bricks were attracting each other’s elements, increasing their strength.

‘For some reason, there were magic stones embedded in the bricks here and there.’

Usually, the medium was underground. However, this one had magic stones embedded at regular intervals.

I don’t know who designed this, but it was a good idea.

‘I got an interesting idea.’

Ruid decided to reorganize and upgrade what was already there. It’s a family service.

‘Operation time is once every 5 seconds. ‘Let it exist at its original intensity in normal times.’

If you devise a technique like this, something quite interesting will happen.

If you attack, it will break easily as it is the strength of an ordinary brick, but after 5 seconds, it will return to its original form, as if time went back.

To put it in one word, even if you break it, it will automatically be restored to its original state like magic in just one minute.

In other words, one hit will create an amazing wall.

Ruid, who had reconstructed the magic technique, took out his staff.

“phew.”

I pretended to wipe the sweat with my sleeve.

Unfortunately, not a single drop was shed.

I’m trying to show that I put in that much effort. If this happens, won’t the ban on going out be shortened by about a week?

Ruid looked back at Amelia.

however.

“Wow...”

“That’s a wizard.”

“No, it’s Windsor. “Those bookworms can’t do that.”

“What is it?? Oh, you really fixed the wall?”

Before I knew it, students had gathered.

It seemed like class was over.

It was only then that Ruid realized that quite a bit of time had passed as he was concentrating.

Amelia stroked Luid’s head.

“You worked hard. “You’re amazing, Ruid.”

Amelia spoke in an adult manner, being conscious of the students.

At that time, a female student shouted.

“Please marry me!”

“Who was it just now?”

The members of the swordsmanship club burst into laughter at Amelia’s serious expression.

“...Then, let’s get it started.”

Ruid tapped the wall with his cane with a puzzled expression.

For a moment, I thought, “What if there are so many people here and things don’t work out?”

That couldn’t have been possible. The drink was perfect.

As expected.

Pajijic—

The bricks were stained with a blue light like Luid’s symbol.

It spread endlessly left and right through a complex magic circuit.

The entire wall was connected with detailed lines.

Rather than a sentence symbolizing something, the lines that were purely connected to a magical circuit seemed like a work of art.

‘Will it work?’

Ruid’s gaze was directed to the remains of the bricks. According to theory, that brick should return to its original form.

Coo-gu-gu, coo-gu-gu-

‘That’s it.’

Ruid smiled quietly.

The debris that fell to the ground flew safely back to its proper place.

“...!”

At that strange phenomenon, the members of the swordsmanship club gaped. I never thought it would be this cool.

“...oh my god.”

Someone muttered softly. The impossible has become reality. There was a long silence as I couldn’t figure out how to react.

Clap,

clap, light applause was heard.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards that.

“As expected, my nephew is overly capable.”

The emperor, Lucius, walked back with a happy face.

Lucius squinted one eye as if to avoid letting anyone know that he was the emperor.
