133. Back to Lynchester
“The reason Edan candidate was selected as the best warrior candidate this year is that he caught three mines and used his wit to protect his colleagues in Arbia.”
Caught three mines.
At the academy, there were two mines that I was known to have caught. Andromalius and Jagan.
The ‘Binet’ I caught at Atlon kept the existence of Atlon a secret, so few people at the academy knew that I had caught it.
However, I personally received mine compensation as a token of the devil, and I confessed to Master Sylvia that I had caught Binnet.
‘That seems to be known among the faculty… .’
If it wasn’t for that, wouldn’t Reus who caught the mine ‘Chaim’ receive the prize?
At least, ‘Chaim’ is higher than ‘Andromalius’, which is ranked 53rd, and ‘Jagan’, which is ranked 61st.
Anyway, it was a situation where the original was twisted again.
Professor Sylvia then explained other reasons.
“Also, since Edan is talented in handling spirits and swordsmanship, the professors decided to select Edan as the best candidate for the hero.”
Congratulations poured in from all over.
Arthur, Sepia, Tia, Tessa, and Anya all nodded as if it was something I deserved.
However, even when I got up on the podium, I was just bewildered.
“Congratulations again. Ethan. You have grown wonderfully.”
I received the Goddess Statue that Master Sylvia gave me. It was a statue of a goddess covered in gold leaf.
A certificate that tells you that you are the best candidate among first-year students.
I glanced at the podium and met Sepia’s eyes. Thanks to that, my hair turned white as if it had been bleached.
This is all because of the sepia blue dress. ah… , I don’t know where to put my eyes every time I see it.
“… thank you I didn’t expect to receive it… , I will give this honor to the teachers who taught me and to my colleagues.”
In the end, Eoyoung Booyoung expressed his impressions of the award that he hadn’t prepared for. Applause poured in from the stands.
That night, amidst my friends’ congratulations, I received seven love calls from large guilds.
It was a beautiful night.
Because it was such a day to be acknowledged by everyone in the congratulations of friends.
and present.
I was facing Dania in Professor Sylvia’s office.
“congratulation. Ethan. A warrior candidate! Seriously, I am thrilled and I have tears in my eyes.”
Dania skillfully set the teacup down from the tray. While I was waiting for Professor Sylvia, I felt like I was talking to him for a while.
She talked like a tomboy.
“I heard that there was a raid on the North Barn auction house? It seems that the attack is also a Mine.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Dania spilled a few stories. However, most of it seemed to be inaccurate information.
It seemed like it was the result of relying on rumors.
First of all, the raid group is not a demon, but one of the vampire apostles.
“The mines were aiming for something that was put up as an auction item. The problem is that there was a hero there.”
As a candidate for the hero, it seems that I was misrepresented as the hero.
“When I heard the story, I heard that girls are handsome, strong in arms, and good at magic, as if they came out of their dreams? OMG, OMG! Aren’t you curious who that is?”
huh? To suddenly become a prince on a white horse.
It was an embarrassing sound to hear from the person who experienced the incident firsthand. Dania was puzzled when I didn’t respond.
“Aren’t you curious about who that is, Ethan?”
“That’s an interesting story.”
“Doesn’t it look funny? There is no soul in the answer.”
I lifted my teacup and drank my coffee. Seeing my reaction like that, Dania shook her head, as if her excitement had cooled.
Then, like a relief pitcher, Master Sylvia came in.
“What were you talking about again? Dania. I can hear your voice from the hallway.”
Shocked, Dania laughed awkwardly.
“Ah, that’s just… . Hehe.”
“Do some more swordsmanship practice. You should know how to protect yourself. Even if I practiced during chatting time, it would have been 5 stars.”
“That, right? hahahaha.”
Currently, Dania’s swordsmanship level has reached 4 stars. Compared to Master’s 7th grade, it was a much lower grade.
If it’s a 4-star skill, it’s just a normal upper-middle level.
For reference, the average of the Lynchester Knights is 4 stars.
Looking at the fact that a person who can become a knight commander is a 5-6 star, Dania’s swordsmanship skills are not too bad.
“Dana, I enjoyed watching the match against Arthur in the final exam.”
While Master rhymed, Dania diligently prepared coffee.
“You’ve grown a lot.”
“thank you. It’s all thanks to Master.”
When I face Master, I become polite without knowing it.
Could it be that they were taught in a Confucian country not to step on even the shadow of their teacher?
“So that’s what I’m saying… , Why don’t you train in the Lynchester class during this winter break?”
Of course it was what I wanted.
It wasn’t long before the day the devil’s church began to shake off the plague. In the end, all I had to do was get stronger as quickly as possible.
“I will do my best to learn.”
“Whoops, Dana. Do your best until you surpass me.”
Suddenly, I remembered my promise with Master.
If I could, I was told to become strong within three years and take myself.
“yes.”
“I’ll be heading to Lynchester Barn in three days.”
So, plans were made to spend December at the Lynchester Barn. But before that, there was work to be done.
You must make an appointment with Sephia about the wise witch Yufi.
Because he is a person who hides his traces very well. Still, Sepia must have been in touch with Yuffie by now.
* * *
Sepia’s dormitory.
Currently, Sepia is rolling around in bed wearing polka-dot pajamas. I wanted to enjoy the leisure time that was right for me.
On the bed were two teddy bears that Ethan had given him.
It was received during the festival and at the North Barn auction house.
And the teddy bear that Sepia always hugged while sleeping was a gift from her mother.
“Hee hee, I’m happy.”
It’s a gift from someone you love.

Just looking at it brought a smile to my lips.
‘Sepia, tribute. You could call it a bribe.’
After the commotion at the auction house, Ethan gave Sepia a gentleman teddy bear as a gift along with such an outrageous remark.
Still, Sepia accepted the teddy bear, enduring a smile on her lips.
‘Tribute what tribute?’
‘Sephia, there’s something I really want to ask of you.’
For some reason, Ethan asked to arrange a meeting with ‘Wise Witch Yuffie’.
Private tutor Yufi.
It was as if Sepia had inherited the basics of magic from Yuffie. Because I’ve been learning from her since I was a child.
However, even Sepia had no way of knowing where Yufi was during normal times.
It seemed that it was his specialty to come and go like the wind.
Well, if it was a wise witch, she would look for it with her eyes open to take her, even if she were given the position of an imperial wizard in the imperial palace.
Is that why?
Even Sepia didn’t get in touch with Yuffie.
However, during the vacation period, he was a teacher who kept in touch.
‘Well then, this time I invited Ethan to the Lognes class… !’
Although my conscience pricked me, if I used the meeting with the teacher as an excuse, wouldn’t it be possible to make Ethan stay in Logness class?
‘I have to do a lot of things I want to do while dating.’
I already wrote down a list of things I want to do together.
Although yuffie’s tutoring was difficult, there was no doubt that if he studied with Edan, Edan’s magic would also advance.
It seemed like it would be happy just to have a short tea time after a hard training together and talk about this and that.
Whoops.

Just then, a text message came from Ethan.
―Sephia, can you give me a minute?
Seeing the letter, Sepia wanted to bounce it for nothing.
It was written in the love guidebook I read together with Vivian that I should seize the initiative through push and pull.
-yes? What’s up? I’m a bit busy right now I have an appointment in the morning!
It wasn’t because I was lying around enjoying my leisure time after a long time. It was hard to prepare to meet Ethan right now.
-Oh yeah? Then what can you do? See you later then.
Sepia was taken aback by that resigned letter.
‘uh? No! What if a man is so quick to resign?’
Sepia pursed her lips and hurriedly manipulated the crystal ball.
―If it’s in the afternoon instead, I think there will be some time. Shall we see it then? How about 1 o’clock?
-okay? See you then.
Even seeing the two of them for a short time was a date if it was a date. Delighted, Sepia hurriedly replied.
It was still 10 am.
There were three hours left until the appointment time, but Sepia hurriedly contacted Vivian.
I needed Vivian’s help to wash, braid my hair, do my makeup, and pick out my date outfit.
Sepia moved her body around in front of the mirror until the appointment time.
I liked my braided hair today. Sepia, who was contemplating whether to apply perfume as well, shook her head.
‘That’s what a woman like Tia sprays. I’m pretty even without makeup.’
Sepia was so confident that she didn’t even need to wear perfume.
Rather than wearing perfume, putting curls in her hair suited her better.
The problem is that these days, Tia and Tesha are getting more and more conscious.
Because Tesha even included mulberries in the awards ceremony.
Sepia, full of anticipation, headed to the meeting place. Ethan was sitting by the window, mesmerized.
“Oh, are you here?”
As Sepia approached, Ethan naturally looked away.
“I am hungry. What do you want to eat?”
When our eyes met, Ethan smiled. Sepia lost her mind for a while to Edan.
‘Anything you like.’
She had to keep the smile on her lips.
