Chapter 30: Assassin arrived into Knight Academy

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It’s have been a month since I went shopping in Murteu.

I have arrived royal capital city together with Dia and Talt.

Since most of our luggage has already been sent to the school dormitory, and we only have few.

[It will be great if we together with Maha-chan] (Dia)

[That girl said that being in Murteu will be most helpful to me. I want to respect her intention.] (Lugh)

There is no doubt that if Maha together with me, it reassures me. And also she also qualify to attend knight academy.

However, Murteu is where Maha’s potential can be most useful and even I making request from her.

Talt say that it’s a shame, and she enjoy scenery of capital city together with Dia.

[Hmm. The capital of the Alvan Kingdom is not flashy, but it's tidy and beautiful.] (Dia)

[Well. In terms of economy and liveliness, Muruteu is far better, but in terms of goods, the royal capital is superior.] (Lugh)

Capital city look tidy because its citizens are binding with many rules.

For example, having land predetermined in order for people to not make dirty on it, having a clean walkway and street are being wide.

In addition, there are restrictions on the materials and colors used for the building so that the landscape not get damaged.

Moreover, investigators regularly check the building, and if it is judged to be dirty or deteriorated, they are obliged to repair it within a month, and if they ignored, the residence status of the royal capital will be lost.

Living in capital need to have its appropriate gold, and feel cramp.

However, living in the royal capital is a kind of status, the security here is very good, and the outer walls that protect the city are thick and safe.

More than that, it has popularity and have large population.

[I’m more prefer Murteu or Tuathe De than this place. Somehow, this place is difficult to relax.] (Dia)

[I also think so. Even Murteu look bad, I can do as I please but it is hot. I like Tuathe De which is surround with rich nature.] (Lugh)

[I think so, too!] (Talt)

I wonder it is something on three of us thinking not much favor to capital but it can’t be help since it was come from our heart.

I have no choice get use to this while living here.

◇

I had an examination in the afternoon at the knight academy. Since I still have time, I decided to go to a suitable store and have lunch.

Everyone ordered pasta that shop recommended. This time is shrimp and squid seafood pasta.

Talt is making complicated face while eating it.

[Delicious things are delicious, but I am concerned about the price. In Murteu, we can eat large serving at half price.] (Lugh)

[That’s right. Aside from taste, it has nice plating.] (Dai)

[This is how this city works. I want to except on dormitory’s meal.] (Lugh)

Although it is a store that fits in properly, there are many customers, and there are many locals, so I did not choose bad one.

The restaurants in the capital are delicious in what it should be, but they are expensive.

Pricing in capital is high.

Well, it is terrible to compare with the port town of Murteu and Tuathe De, which can supplement food itself.

Cities inside of country are taxed each time make it barrier for food until it arrives, and transportation costs money in the first place.

Even if the self-sufficiency rate is high even in that cities, prices will not rise to that level, but the royal capital is not such a city.

Moreover, because there are many wealthy people, it costs extra money to purchase high-quality ingredients. Even many stores in capital have expensive because of its reputation.

[Lugh-sama. Leave the meal to me! If I cook it by myself, it will be cheaper and tasty. I brought all my cooking utensils after all. If I can use the dormitory's garden, I can grow vegetables!] (Talt)

[Thank you. Life in the capital is expensive. I have to save even a little bit] (Lugh)

…… This is ridiculous story. I'm making a lot of money in Murteu, so even if the prices are a little high, it doesn't matter as long as I keep my eyes on it.

However, Tauthe De is just baron family.

For the time being, it is well-known that father is earning money by a doctor's business, but if I’m splendidly spoiled a lot of money by the name of baron family, it will create a rumor, and it will cause doubt.

At Knights Academy, tuition and dormitory fees are free, but other living expenses are at student own expense, and if student was not a high-ranking aristocrat, there will be heavy burden.

Poor aristocrats have no choice but to live humbly, and wealthy aristocrats try to show off their household’s power.

[Saving money is good through but earning money is also good. After all, saving money is all about endurance.] (Dia)

[It seems that kind of students are many. If they can't live by sending money from their parents, they have to make money. ...... Fortunately, there are many jobs in the royal capital, and there are jobs that take advantage of having magical power, and that kind of thing is good.] (Lugh)

[Hun. It looks interesting. Let's do it together when we use to student life.] (Dia)

[Well, that's also good too. The life of a royal capital that can be done by the baron's normal remittance is too cramped. That’s is something to think later. For now, examination from noon is first priority.] (Lugh)

Even through for not to be notice, I don’t want to live in humble lifestyle.

In that case, if I earn money like student can make me able to spend openly.

[That's it. I was surprised when you suddenly told that. Lugh-sama. What are tested in exam? Exam on something that admission is already been determined.] (Talt)

[It is exam to determine on class. There are differences in the quality of being born and differences in the environment in which they grew up. You will get sorted into class that you’re worth depend on ability. There are some people who betting their lives into it.] (Lugh)

Knight academy is mandatory for magical nobles, but when they graduate with excellent grades, they can have various delicious things.

In addition, it is a place to show the superiority of the blood line to nobles who believe that leaving strong blood is the significance of existence.

Nobles are following this because these kinds of candy are here in this place.

It is important to graduate with excellent grades, but the higher the class, the more advanced the education, the better treatment they get.

There is a class change once every six months, but if student do not enter the upper class first, there will be more difference after six months, and it will be difficult to enter the upper class later.

Starting dash is important.

[Lugh-sama. You’re terrible. Why didn’t you say that?! If it is Lugh-sama, you will be definitely top student. But if I don’t study hard, I might not get into such class.... I hate being in class without you.] (Talt)

Talt is depressing.

I see. haven’t I said about that thing?

[In the case of Talt, you are my servant, so regardless of the result of the entrance examination, you will be in same class with me as I am your master.] (Lugh)

[Huh, I'm relieved.] (Talt)

[That means I have to work hard on my own] (Dia)

[Don't worry about that, I've been focusing on teaching you on about thing that will likely come in test for a month. If it is Dia, pratical test will no longer problem] (Lugh)

If I use information network from Balor company, this kind of information will come out.

It's close to cheating in the middle, but due to certain circumstances it was necessary for three of us to enter the upper class.

[Then, I feel relieved. After that, I just need to make sure that I can do my best.] (Dia)

She eats pasta while saying that.

Dia somehow have courage.

[Dia, will you use this?] (Lugh)

[isn’t it cute hair clip?] (Dia)

[There maybe someone who familiar with Dia’s face after all. Let's change hairstyle and impression.] (Lugh)

There are few exchanges between the kingdom of Alvan and the kingdom of Swoigel.

First of all, there are very few people who are acquainted with Dia, and they have only seen Dia who they are acquainted with her makeup and dressed up.

It can make look like a different person just by removing makeup and changing hairstyle.

[How about this?] (Dia)

[That kind of hairstyle look good on you.] (Lugh)

Dia changed into hairstyle called ponytail.

It does not much different but she looks dazzling.

[Even from my point of view, it’s cute. Besides, it seems cool and easy to move.] (Lugh)

[Yup. I also taking like to it. Thank you, Lugh.] (Dia)

I’m glad you like it.

..... This is for disguise, but at the same time it is a magic tool for protecting Dia, and it has a certain function.

However, it's nicer for her to love it purely as an ornament rather than to protect herself.

◇

And then, finally we arrive to academy.

If I arrive too early, I'll be nervous, and I will just barely able to do it.

[Wow. There are a lot of people.] (Dia)

[This is day of children to shine. There will be parent who want to witness it.] (Lugh)

People that we talking about are parent and their attendants.

People who come to see are more than student.

There are worries about children, but at the same time, it is also a show-off competition.

Aristocrats are more desired in bloodline on making stronger children.

Being a great nobleman, he did a lot of breeding with his companion who had stronger blood, and he also spent money on education.

The strength of the child is the value of the house.

…… It can be seen that they are under pressure from such expectations and feelings from parents. The result of class classification by the entrance examination will be directly evaluated as how much excellent of the blood line is.

Self-respecting strong aristocrats would like to have their children perform well.

That's understandable, but it's pitiful to put so much pressure on them. With like that, the kids wouldn't be able to reach half their abilities.

The noise has become louder.

A ridiculous guy appears, and Talt and Dia are stunned.

[Wow, that’s, overdoing] (Dia)

[Hey, I can hear it] (ridiculous guy)

A boy who ride white horse appear.

It's a fashionable item that suits white horse, or even the clothes are pure white with gold thread.

He looks flashy from start till end.

However, it seems to have magical powers that match the flashiness, and the faces are brilliant and well-equipped, and such this ridiculous look suits him well.

…… In contrast to me, who hides having extraordinary magical powers, he's purposely showing off.

When I saw crest on his arm, I notice it was from Geffis family.

One of the three people that my father told me to careful in the school.

He is from duke family, second powerful house after royal family.

When he see us, he winked to us.

As usual, I thought it was for Talt and Dia, two beautiful girls, but no matter how I looked at it, it was targeted at me.

I feel goose bumps.

What on earth is child from Geffis duke family thinking?

There was a big buzz that even exceeded the buzz from before after the white horse-riding prince appeared.

There is only one person when it comes to being a bigger title than the Duke.

I hear rumors that support my expectations.

“Is that a hero?”

“If you get taken like from hero, you can be companion of hero”

“you might can get title for saving world...”

The one who appear is hero.

I didn't introduce myself. However, if I look at the overwhelming magical power, I can be convinced that there is nothing else.

After all, it is a level that even aristocrats without Tuathe De's eyes will notice.

He is short, neutral, and unsure whether he is a man or a woman...... It doesn't look like Setan, who I fought to save Dia. Somehow, why? I feel same vibe come from him.

As expected of hero, people are flocking around him.

In this entrance exam, various thoughts are intertwined for the future, the prestige of the house, and the hero. Of course, there are people who try to flock near a hero, and I am also one of them.

If he is truly a hero, he will definitely be assigned to the top class S class.

I must be in highest class for sure.

And then approach hero and find his weakness.

Only 8 out of 70 students can reach to highest S class. Since hero will surly take one, I need to compete to enter within 7. It's not easy to beat it against the famous celebrities.

Moreover, I have to handicap.

I can’t show my technique to hero.

For that reason, of course, I have told Dia not to use the original magic, and I'll only show the magic power of the common sense range, and will not use the assassination technique of Tuathe De.

[Somehow, it has quite hurdle] (Lugh)

I need to obtain highest result while hiding my ability. It looks troublesome but if it was me, I will able to do.

In addition to the knowledge and experience of the previous life, there is something I have accumulated here after all.

I am strong enough to not use special power.
