Chapter 676 – Chapter 676 Magic School Shutra (5)
Humans can never compete with nature.
That is the order of things
But humans usually don’t understand that easily.
So they make beings equal to nature on their own standards.
Right god.
In this way, they arbitrarily create gods similar in shape to themselves and place them in nature.
And after adorning natural disasters with their heartache, instilling the belief that disasters can be controlled through communication with them.
Those who get lucky or take advantage of such natural disasters absorb the beliefs of the people around them.
And it gradually expands its power.
That’s usually the system that is the foundation of a country or religion.
By the way… What if a being like God existed?
From then on, the story changes.
It’s just that everyone gathers around him.
A world where there is no justification for a group called religion.
That was the world where Ludwig Rieffenstein, the so-called archmage, lived.
Of course, no one can touch him, and he always bows his head and becomes a snack for the rest of his life just by watching his gait.
In front of such a being….
“Excuse me. Mister!”
“… ?”
A boy-like girl appeared and stopped him.
With bobbed hair and dirt all over his body, he looks like he’s begging for something to eat.
Such a child….
“I heard that you are such a great wizard!? Make some bread with magic!”
“….”
That is… It was the first meeting between the dean and Claudia.
..
..
I laughed out loud listening to Claudia’s story.
“It’s good that you survived.”
(That’s right. But I was starving and on the verge of rummaging, so I wasn’t in a situation to argue about that.)
By the way, she said that she asked for bread because, in Claudia’s eyes at the time, magic seemed no different from the power of a real god.
I thought that anything was possible with magic, so I just wanted to put something in my mouth.
“It must have tasted fantastic if I ate fireballs instead of bread.”
Hehe… It wouldn’t be bad if it was the last experience of my life.)
Should I see that as a positive or a negative? .
That’s how Claudia says it was her first meeting with the dean.
Of course, the dean ignored it, but Claudia continued to pursue him until the end, which is the love of the two… No, it was a freak story.
(Well… I was lucky too. It wasn’t because that man took me in because he felt sorry for me.)
Unexpectedly, Claudia had a talent for magic, and her perseverance and perseverance were evident, so it started with taking her as her assistant.
After hanging out together like that, I feel attached… Friendship dwells… After love sprouts… The story of the two broke up after all the wars were over.
Incidentally, her explanation was that the dean had never smiled like that in front of Claudia until they parted like that.
It was a really exciting story.
And it was time to hear the end of that exciting story.
“Why did you break up?”
(…I don’t know. I thought he would be happy to end the war… But he suddenly left me with just one ring and left like a person who had lost everything.)
In other words, the heirloom in my pocket right now….
(That’s right. That nobleman handed it over to me.)
“Then why didn’t you get stuck?”
(At that time… I didn’t know that nobleman would live that long.)
Claudia explained that she had let go of the dean, who suddenly left her as if she felt lost.
She wishes she had a relationship with someone more compatible than herself….
Kang Han-na, who heard Claudia’s story, spoke as if she agreed.
[But… At that time, neither Claudia herself nor the dean herself would have known that she would live this long. If I was in that situation… I would have made the same decision.]
After that, Claudia put the precious ring she received from the dean in the basement under the pretext of keeping it until he comes.
The problem was that he only told his children that it was a valuable item, and died suddenly without properly telling the source of the item.
The relationship between the dean and Claudia was not to blame.
They were lovers who loved each other, but their ties to each other just diverged.
(I don’t know why, but after I died, I couldn’t take it anywhere because I was tied to this ring.)
I wondered if he was being dragged around because he had a burden on his mind rather than being bound by a ring.
That’s how I was able to hear the story of Claudia and the dean.
It was fun.
No, it was so much fun that I could count it on one hand among the stories I’ve heard.
If I had just read it as a novel, it would have been just an interesting story.
However, hearing the story directly from the person concerned made me feel alive.
Then, having heard such a spectacular story, it was my turn to reciprocate.
“Now then, shall we go meet someone important?”
(Someone important?)
“Descendants. Jurgen Stadtfeld is the one who got me into the Gabor room.”
As soon as Claudia heard Jurgen’s name, she closed her eyes and smiled, as if recalling her old thoughts.
(Ah, you mean the guy who used to stop by my room and give confessions?)
“A confession?”
When I asked Claudia, Claudia shook her hand and avoided her answer.
(Well… That was in the past…. Let’s meet face to face after a long time.)
Claudia was wearing a snow-white dress and she crossed her arms inappropriately and smiled her devilish smile.
(What kind of face does the guy who finally destroyed the family I built…)
“….”
It was the first time I felt sorry for Jurgen.
..
..
Cold in the room… No, the chill spread like heat and swept the surroundings.
And in the midst of that chill, two men and women knelt down and bowed their heads.
I pretended not to know them, ignoring them as much as possible.
And angry… No, a playful voice came out.
(Wow… Are you guys? The kids who destroyed the family I worked so hard to build.)
I couldn’t see the owner of the voice, but I knew at once that it was Claudia.
And in her playful voice….
(Sin… Sorry.)
(Sorry….)
Jurgen and Nora carefully let out their voices of apology while on their knees.
In fact, it was said that the atmosphere was full of chills, but it was probably only Jurgen and Nora who felt the presence of that chill.
As evidence of that, Claudia….
Hehe….)
It was because he was just humming while looking at the two of them, as if he had no interest in the immortality.
Claudia, who was watching the two of them like that, forcibly hardened her expression and caught the atmosphere that didn’t work.
(Well… I don’t mean to blame you guys, so don’t worry. No, all three of us died in the first place? It seems like you don’t have to stoop in front of me anymore?)
(That… But you’re the first head of household….)
(Did the first head of household feed you bread? Ah… I must have enjoyed a good meal thanks to my name.)
I heard that the first time I met the dean, I was blown away, but I guess bread is good….
Well, being a human who lived in the midst of a war, eating must have been the most important thing.
(Stop it now and wake up. I didn’t come here to be treated like that by you guys.)
At Claudia’s words, Jurgen and Nora raised their mouths at the same time and stood up slowly from the floor.
(Thank you for your forgiveness.)
Claudia, who had been joking around until now, also smiled bitterly at the sincere tone of the two and averted her gaze.
(Forgiveness is what… I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything for you.)
That’s how I was able to organize all the meetings and interests of the three people.
After Nora stood properly in her seat, she came over to me and said,
(Wow… It’s amazing that you learned and drilled that difficult thing in a few days!)
Haha… Thank you.”
(I was worried about Luna, but looking at it like this, I met a man well. Right, honey?)
(….)
Jurgen stared at me with bitter eyes for a while, then managed to contain a weak voice in his mouth.
(Yeah… Well done.)
There was a subtle emotion in Jurgen’s voice.
Is it a feeling that is a mixture of more than one emotion?
It didn’t take a day or two to do that, so I answered without caring.
“I’m glad I managed to find it. But now what?”
I took out the ring I had been keeping in my pocket and carefully placed it on the table.
Jurgen and Nora looked at the ring I had placed on them and began to ponder.
Both of them now know the identity of this ring.
The fact that this ring, which has been enshrined deep underground until now, is not an heirloom….
Both of them wouldn’t want this ring to end up in Luna’s hands.
It’s a cursed item that can cause irreversible damage if worn even by mistake.
That’s how Jurgen, Nora, and I began to think in silence.
However, Claudia, the owner of the ring, opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
(What’s wrong?)
Three people, including me, turned her head towards Claudia and looked at her.
Claudia, smiling with a smile, pointed at me and shouted.
(It’s enough if that guy carries it.)
I barely opened my mouth as I hardened my expression at her words.
“Me? I’ll just put it in the graveyard, so getting along with the descendants there is better….”
(Descendants? Why do I have to be with these boring guys?)
“….”
Could you please think of the boring descendants in front of you right now?
Despite the gloomy expressions of the two of them, Claudia didn’t care and opened her mouth.
(I’ve been locked up inside for hundreds of years! I don’t want to be stuck in one place again!)
“But there are a lot of people there….”
When I tried to convince Claudia to do so, Claudia ignored my persuasion and suddenly she hugged me and cried out.
(No! No! I will follow you! I will follow you!! Take responsibility!! I found you, so take responsibility!!!)
“Now, fall for a moment….”
I turned away from Claudia, who hugged me and screamed, and gave Jurgen and Nora a helping look.
But the two….
(Zuu… It will be a pleasant travel companion!)
(Yeah…Joe, I’m glad we had a good relationship.)
“….”
He looked at me and gave me warm applause with a pitiful expression.
I decided to withdraw what I felt sorry for earlier.
Now the poor man….
(Now, let’s go to that magic school or Mercy quickly!)
“Ha….”
Because I became
..
..
Once you have a new companion.
(Wow… Look outside! It’s the moon! Whoa!)
“….”
Claudia Stadtfeld.
To be honest, I could throw it away if I wanted to, but I couldn’t do that from my point of view.
Luna’s first head of household and the president’s lover.
Once it was abandoned in some way, there was a high possibility that it would cause problems later.
Okay.
As far as taking her with her is fine.
Honestly, even though Claudia is filthy and noisy, I like her as a person.
[Don’t you like her as a woman?]
‘….’
Without being able to answer Kang Han-na’s difficult question, I called Claudia and had a formal conversation.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
(Of course~ I like to talk~)
By the way, Jurgen and Nora had already left.
‘… It’s only at times like this that he really disappears like a ghost.’
I grumbled inwardly and talked with Claudia about her future plans.
“Going together… I’ll allow it for now.”
(Oh oh!!!)
Claudia vocalized like a musical star for a moment, then she suddenly loosened her expression and opened her mouth.
(…But you’ve already decided to go together, right?)
“….”
It was no use at all to float a fortune to sort the ranks.
Still, she showed weakness here, so she had to avoid being treated as an inferior.
“I’m going to set some rules, but if you don’t play by them… You know it’s going to the graveyard.”
(Aha! Don’t worry about that. Even though I’m not cheap, I tend to listen to helpers.)
Well, that was the case, so the dean must have taken him with him in the past.
I looked at Claudia and explained her rules of conduct.
First, talk only normally.
“Please be quiet during class or when I am doing important business. Especially during a conversation, you shouldn’t be distracted.”
(Gorum~ I can protect that.)
And now the most important, the second rule.
In fact, because of this issue, he had been contemplating the issue of accompanying Claudia several times.
“I… Relationships with women are complicated. If you find out, don’t let Jurgen or Nora hear it later.”
(Five….)
Claudia stared at me, tilted her head, and opened her mouth.
(What does it mean that the relationship is complicated? Now that I know it, are you the one who ruined our family or something like that? Under such circumstances, are you dating that… Lunaroid?)
What else is Lunaroid….
I began to properly explain to Claudia, who was full of strange thoughts.
After she met Luna, she found out that she slept with other women….
However, after hearing my words, Claudia looked at me with a more questioning expression and said,
(Why is it so complicated? Isn’t it competent?)
“Uh… Are you sleeping with a woman other than your descendant?”
I knew you would be angry.
But Claudia….
(You are much better than that man. The man’s greatest weakness was that he was not interested in women.)
