Chapter 396 – Chapter 396 Magic School Shutra (3-7)
As soon as Louis woke up in the morning, he went to visit her Luna, and heard her thunderclap notification from her.
“Lewis, let’s type separately while we go to Levin.”
“… What?”
It wasn’t just a word to be taken lightly.
With her chilled expression on Luna’s face, she herself put her weight on her words.
Louis looked at her Luna with a dumbfounded expression for a while, then finally came to her senses and asked her back.
“Luna… Why all of a sudden… ?”
“I thought about it yesterday.”
“Ah!”
Louis went to Luna’s room where she was sleeping and he began to remind her of her scoldings.
“As I said yesterday, we are no longer children. If you are caught going in and out of your room carelessly… Unintentional rumors may spread.”
“Rumor….”
Louise hoped the rumors would spread as she was worried about Luna.
From her Louise’s point of view, her Luna was certain that she would one day become his wife anyway.
Because to Louis, Luna was her first woman, and she was hoping she would be her last.
But Louis already knew that the rumors were always that she didn’t act the way she thought.
It’s because I’ve already heard rumors that I really don’t like.
Luna and Seong Su-ho stood side by side on the podium receiving the students’ brilliant congratulations.
Rumors arose as a result.
(The two of them… Seem to be dating, right?)
(The atmosphere is unusual.)
(Even if there are only two people in the club?)
(….)
Louis had already experienced that rumors go in an unwanted direction even before his school days.
Ironically, however, Lewis had been briefly swept away by the rumor.
(They both held hands…)
(Isn’t that gross?)
If Louis hadn’t seen it in person, he could have punched them in a fit of rage.
But he clearly saw it.
The two people holding hands on the podium….
Fortunately, there were also students who thought similarly to Lewis.
(Ah… If we were close, wouldn’t we be able to do that much?)
(That’s right. They say they’re in a club together? Then they’ll be close, and if they’re tied for first place, they’ll both be swept away by the atmosphere and catch it.)
In my opinion, I was full of desire to join them in sympathy and participate in the conversation.
He was Lewis, who wanted to feel a sense of identification with them, albeit briefly.
But Lewis didn’t get stuck among them, just lingering around moderately.
‘I’m with those guys… Different!’
Lewis began to be silent as he recalled what had happened to him among the extras.
Looking at Louis like that, Luna continued her words.
“The two of us have obviously known each other for a long time, but I just said it because I think I need to come to my senses.”
“Yes… I apologize for being careless all this time.”
“….”
“… ?”
Luna didn’t let go of Louise’s apology and looked at him with her cold eyes.
The rustling silver hair looked cold and sober to the point of bewildering Louis.
However, Luna’s expression rather made Louis feel fresh.
‘Luna… She looks like a real woman now.’
Looking at Luna’s expression full of coldness, Louis felt that it was just a portrait of a woman with her cold charm.
Louis nodded her head at Luna, unable to grasp the mood.
“I’ll be careful from now on. But if something happens during the trip, don’t notice it and find me.”
“… Yea, I got it. Then let’s go eat.”
“Yes.”
Louise, excited again by her Luna’s cold voice, started following her.
However, when they arrived at the cafeteria on the 1st floor, even that excitement had to disappear.
The first floor was completely filled with people, and they looked at Luna and Louis and started shouting.
“Five! I am a student of Strauss!”
“Really! It’s real!”
“Uh, what….”
Luna and Louise panicked and before they had time to calm down, a huge crowd of people started shouting at the two.
“Is it true that the headmaster of Stra is here!”
***
As soon as I got into the carriage, I stretched out on a soft chair and sighed in a faint voice.
‘Wow… I thought my soul was going out….’
As soon as I woke up in the morning, the sight I saw was spectacle itself.
All the people in the village had come and looked for the dean.
This situation was not unexpected.
It is the procession of the great wizard who conquered the world.
〈Tags: Archmage, Dean of Stra, 500 years old, half a thousand years of history, etc….〉
A nobleman with a tag like that came to visit.
It’s weird not knowing.
That’s why, when I accompanied the dean, I even told the place that rented a long-distance carriage and had them crack down.
Of course, the crackdown was not by me or Lewis, but by the professors in Strasse, so there must have been no gaps.
However, despite the efforts of the Stra professors, it was such a mess.
In a world overflowing with money and information, crackdowns are just a means to buy time.
However, the problem was that I didn’t think that it would become this shape in one day.
‘I never thought this would happen in one day….’
[There is a story that the eyes and ears of excellent merchants can penetrate a thousand li. In particular, the merchants around the Stra will not be normal.]
As Armonia said, most of the people who came were merchants.
From ordinary merchants transporting goods to merchants who look like big men just by looking at their clothes….
If a few people came and bothered me, it would have been easy to get rid of it.
However, the problem was that the conversation itself could not be established because of the large number of people who came.
Above all, it was the coachmen who were in a much more difficult situation than we were.
From their point of view, the situation would have been hell itself.
No matter how familiar elites were, it was impossible for just four people to quietly pass through hundreds of people close to them.
But the savior of that hellish situation was by their side.
‘Sonya… He was charismatic.’
It was Sonya who solved the situation, not the dean who caused it.
She began to loudly convey the awareness of the current situation to the crowd of merchants.
(I am Sonya Friedrich, an assistant professor at Stra. What you are doing now is an offense to the dean! If you don’t leave immediately, I will hand over your identities to the Stra school with the guards!)
(I, we just… Want to see the great dean’s face….)
(Leave now!)
(I’m sorry…)
The merchants eventually started leaving the inn with a white flag at Sonya’s cry.
But he left the inn, not the village.
They averted Sonya’s eyes, approached us, and began to inquire.
(Student! Please! Tell the dean the name of our firm…)
(Or at least a seat so we can say hello…)
(How much do you need!? I have 40 buildings in this town! I’ll give you all! Please, just say hello!)
It was a moment when I could feel how great the financial power of the merchants was.
Some merchants wanted the honor of being able to engrave the name of their company in the head of the dean, and some went so far as to say that they wanted to buy gold or land for a word of greeting from the dean.
‘No, what does it mean to give the land just for saying hello?’
[The fact that you talked to a person in the history recorded as a legend is how the trust of merchants soars. And trust is money.]
‘Ugh… It’s just money….’
According to a rough estimate, it has been more than 80 years since the dean came out.
And in the meantime, the beings he met were only students and professors.
Who else did you talk to?
There was no
No, it was the dean who had never shone a single hair on them, let alone talked.
Even the king of a country can’t meet the dean if he doesn’t enter Stra.
Did the thoughtless king come to Stra with pride?
Rather, they will be thrown out, and the whole nation will make fun of them for the rest of their lives.
In other words, even if the merchants add exaggeration, let’s say that they met and greeted such a being somewhere.
That itself is trust and honor to them.
And such trust and honor go beyond the individual and make the roots of the group to which they belong more firmly.
‘Really… What a dog.’
I thought as I watched Sonya and the coachman escort the dean outside the cluttered carriage.
Does everyone know? That such a great man wants to die?
You can’t even imagine.
To them, the dean is a hero and an idol, and a person who needs everything to be perfect.
People don’t need to know the dean’s heart. It’s just that the sincerity they think is directed at him.
I don’t know the heart of Jesus and Buddha, but it’s enough if you can celebrate the achievements of saints and praise yourself for being upright like them.
The dean was walking toward the carriage, assisted by Sonya and Carl.
‘Ah, it’s finally getting on.’
Even in the chaotic situation, the dean paid no attention to anyone and just walked slowly to the carriage, thinking hard about something.
Just looking at it now….
‘Couldn’t it be that he didn’t wash and didn’t sleep?’
Of course, the outfit would be the same as yesterday, but the usually well-groomed man had slightly tousled hair.
[If you have lived for hundreds of years, your concentration will be different.]
‘What… It would be nice if I could solve it quickly.’
More than anything else, the most important thing is that you like yourself too.
If you ask again later, there will be no burden.
I muttered to myself as I watched the carriage the dean was about to board.
‘Because Louis rode over there too. This time I will be able to travel in a more pleasant atmosphere.’
It was no mere coincidence that I was now in the carriage.
I just wanted to ride separately from Louis, so I saw him getting into the carriage and chose the other carriage.
Looking at the situation now….
‘Fortunately, the dean rode on Lewis’s side… Sonya, of course, rides with the dean… Uh? Does the knife ride there too?’
For the convenience of the user, the long-distance wagon was deliberately made into a four-seater.
So that each person can use the wide space.
And the carriage I was riding in was in a state where I was the only one sitting there.
The other one I know talked to Sonya, who boarded last, and then started walking cautiously toward me.
The merchants, who had been distracted by the dean, could feel their eyes slowly rolling toward the woman who gracefully walked toward me.
The woman who was coming towards me shook her head gracefully and walked again gracefully, although the merchants occasionally spoke to her.
Such a graceful woman carefully opened the door of her carriage and came in. She sat across from me and opened her mouth as she looked at me and sighed.
“I am really tired. Thanks to Mr. Someone yesterday.”
Haha….”
Luna was sitting in front of me and smiling at me.
It was the beginning of a pleasant trip.
