Students in aristocratic schools visit the school teacher's room when they are in fourth grade. So ask what kind of research the teacher is doing and choose who was on his path as his master. We all have to do that in order to graduate, but we are free in terms of "who to choose" as a school rule.

Most of all, there are few people who have no choice due to various marks outside the school, and their will remains unreflected due to circumstances such as bumps and vacancies due to the number of people. In my case, there was an implicit tie of choosing someone to study witchcraft, but anyone within that range could have. Teachers majoring in witchcraft would have been many in aristocratic schools and would have had plenty of choice. That's why I took a trip to the teachers' room. Many teachers were pleased with my visit. Because if I graduate with good results, it will also lead to teacher evaluation.

But Mr Bellocchio treated me and the other students the same, equally.

"Mr. Tiana. You don't want to drill magic, do you? Then I would recommend Lord Piari or Lord Dustin."

The words when I visited were amazing.

No, I can't say it's awesome at all.

It's perfectly normal for you to advise this person.

But at this time I just became a little heavenly dog and it sounded like a provocation.

"... In my opinion, is the lab here ineligible?

"No?"

"Then why?

"It's a matter of choice. If you're trying to do something about witchcraft, I will, and the teachers who study witchcraft will do everything in their power to assist you. But Mr. Tiana wouldn't be, would she?

"... So the teacher I just mentioned is not trying to drill witchcraft?

"No, I'm trying. It's just a different direction. Both Lord Piari and Lord Dustin are excellent teachers and researchers. Lord Piari studies the relationship between singing and witchcraft in ancient times, and is also deeply built on art. There will be a great deal to learn. Lord Dustin places more emphasis on ensuring that students master basic upbringing than on achieving results in their graduation exams. If you are giving a good score in the exam, you will not have to say anything later with an emphasis on student autonomy. Students with more obligations to do outside the school are implicitly advised to go under his gates. Because some kids want to do an apprenticeship a little faster at a defined workplace."

Regrettably, those two teachers do suit me better. I had to admit that I should not have spoken to Mr Verrocchio in person much, but when I looked closely at myself.

"... Sure, maybe that's good for me. I study witchcraft, but not as a sorcerer, but as a sorcerer's wife. And in that sense, it's about learning under someone who understands it."

"Huh? It's not a profession or anything apart from a magician, is it?

"Huh?"

I meant to squeeze out words that seeped remorse, but questions returned that I hadn't imagined.

I followed and showed the face of vegan confusion.

"Indeed, there is a profession or title of magician. That's true for members of the sorcery division, etc. Or so will someone like me. As a magician, we rely on magic to do research here, to teach students, so let's say magicians by name."

"Then a magician is a profession, isn't he?

"Even without these identities and duties, the sorcerer is a sorcerer. It doesn't change whether you were someone's daughter-in-law, or a civilian who isn't noble, or a people who don't belong in any country."

"... Um, Doctor"

"What is it?

"So what is a magician?

He's a magician.

"... is that all?

"Rather, what else is there?

Too simple a word made me feel like I was in smoke.

"Uh... you wouldn't normally be recognized as a magician if you didn't belong to some gatekeeper, become a serviceman, or get a job at the institute, would you? You might be able to do it if you just name it... isn't that what you call yourself?

"Regardless of the job, if you're a gatekeeper or faction, you can put it in the loose end of the rules. In the first place, there was a magician everywhere in history before it worked like this."

"That would be..."

"A mage or something like that. I aspire to witchcraft, polish witchcraft, and explore witchcraft. Instead, those who do not have the will to do so and see magic only as a tool or a daily necessity don't want to call themselves magicians, whatever their duties."

That's too much to say. I even got worried about the person in front of me through anger. It would be a big problem in case someone in the country's sorcery division asks about this. The Magic Division is the same force organization as the Knights and is a mage who is good at using magic as a weapon or tool. It could be said that it is opposite to Bellocchio's idea.

But somewhere, I had something to come.

"So, Doctor, are swords, spears, bows, and magic, something completely different?

"It would be the same if we were to attack something with sorcery. On the contrary, using magic..."

At that time, a dumb noise called Pushu echoed in Dr. Verrocchio's room.

The water in the medicine can is boiling. It must have been made by pouring molten iron into the mold, not by tapping on the thin iron, it looks heavily rough. And it's probably a demon prop. The mechanism by which the water put inside becomes water is planted.

"... Is it a weapon to boil water or add tea this way?

"I think throwing a can of boiling water at a thug would suffice as a weapon."

"Exactly. In other words, it's up to people to see it as what it is and what it's for."

Dr. Verrocchio switched the boiling water to the teapot and started brewing tea from his hands.

Speaking of which, I don't even have a servant here. Then I'm the one who should make tea here. It was inadvertent.

"Ah, Doctor, that's..."

"Whoa, you should have asked first. Do you hate tea?

"No, that's not true"

But Dr. Verrocchio offered the tea and the sweets he kept on the shelf without even paying attention.

It's an odd tea party. No, it's not even a tea party.

"Ah... delicious"

"That's good"

Dr. Bellocchio also starts drinking tea. Perhaps this is the teacher's routine. I was also used to handling tea utensils. There's not even any sign of a servant. If you calm down and look over, the room is just loaded with books and magic props to see if this is still the case, but not everything will be necessary for magic and school classes. There are obviously also demonic props for works of art and play. He's quite a hobbyist with a serious face.

"The teacher is a free man, isn't he? I think it's very rare."

"Are you feeling any kind of disabling?

"I don't know. But..."

I tried to tell them about myself. But I was stuck with words. Somehow I thought about what life I should live compared to the odd teacher in front of me, and I got lost. I am Alex's wife. I've never questioned it there. I've never questioned my life. Though life was given to me by my parents and by my house, I chose to be given. It is also my natural expression of emotion that I like to forgive my wife.

But maybe questioning, validating, imagining different possibilities is not in itself an acceptable act without asking who?

"Doctor. Could it be that magic is a free thing?

Dr. Bellocchio nodded, small, but certainly firm.

"Assuming you don't have to take up a position directly involved in witchcraft. I don't care if you marry someone in their house."

"As long as you aspire to witchcraft, you must be a magician"

When I heard the answer, I told him on the spot that I wanted to go under the Bellocchio Gate.
