Istol School of Magic.

On this day, in the three hundred years since the founding of the College, a historic ceremony had been held.

The place is a large auditorium commonly used for presenting demonic studies and the like, and numerous discoveries have spread from this place, a sanctuary of apprentices who have influenced various fields of research.

Only graduate students with outstanding results will be allowed to present their research results in this auditorium, and after graduation the gateway to the Royal Institute of Magic of Solister will be opened. It was a major event venue where the future was promised as a magic guide.

The Solister Institute of Magic was a State-supported research institute and a so-called State official for research purposes. From there, it is adopted by each research institute.

Extensive human resources and research funding are promised, plus high incomes. It would be a dream position for a magician.

This time, however, the protagonist is not an outstanding graduate student, but a Cloisas named as the representative of the Saint-Germain sect. His research subject was [decryption of magic ceremonies] challenged by many magicians.

Until now, magic letters made sense to everything, and it was thought that arranging them would activate magic, but Cloisas' research put the wait on it.

I did so with some certainty and results, and I made it public on this occasion now.

"So, because there is, this magical interpretation of the formula becomes' creates faults by the air layer '. This means that the essence of wind magic flows magic into the vacuum created by the faults generated by the wind and cleaves the object with it as a blade. In other words, magical characters are languages, which means characters for making words using fifty-six sounds. Until now, many magicians have failed to realize this question, except that the interpretation that one of the magical letters made sense became commonplace, and that it was recognized as common sense. I advocate. Now is the time to learn how to decipher correctly and restore the prosperity of the old days."

Kreussus interpreted magical characters as languages and announced that it was the magical book apostle who used letters to profess to convert himself in words. In conclusion, this study is correct.

But it is also true that there are still those who deny it. For example -.

"Wait! Even if that tentative study is true..."

"It's a fact. I've checked many times, and all the results of the decryption were exactly what I thought, right?

"... it follows that what we have learned so far has been an error, even if it was a fact. I'm not going to admit that!

"Samas teaching, I know you don't want to admit it, but this is pure fact. We won't be able to move on without admitting our mistakes. It will be painful to deny what we have learned so far, but we must embrace it for the future."

"So what have we been learning! If we were denied what we took for granted, we would have wasted our time. I can't very much admit it!

"Even if you don't want to admit it, the truth is just as announced. Acceptance can only be left to the discretion of the individual. Reality is sometimes cruel."

"Ugh..."

Samas teaching was previously told the same thing by Celestina, but acquiesced in it.

I thought the fallout was somewhat magical, but now I gave her a name as a 'talented woman' and the result of ignoring her opinion was announced to the Saint-Germain sect first.

It was denied that what we had learned so far had been in vain. I strongly regret that I should have looked into this myself, but it is all too late.

And the non-Samas teaching instructors also had negative faces. However, no matter how much they deny it, they have not produced results and cannot completely deny Kreussus' research paper.

"It doesn't mean everything I've learned has been a mistake. It does make sense as one magic letter. The approach was wrong. You may think that has caused a great deal of time to lose.

But we have to learn. This method of decryption is essential to acquire the technology of the old age and, if denied, it causes stagnation. Now, has the magic decryption progressed in the last hundred years?

Magic is academia and technology. Conflicts by each faction will be affecting the factors that have prevented progress on this. I sought power in magic and never looked to the truth that was there. War became the norm, and the time to study technology was taken away. Especially since the war a thousand years ago. "

In denying the incorrect decipherment, Kreussus presents a record of the situation at the time from the history of the ongoing war, describing the situation followed by the former demon conductor.

All that is required in war is magic. It has denied those who look only at power, string the essence of magic and challenge the truth. The result is a stalemate, which will continue to this day.

Its ancient policy became a curse, undeniably a shackle to the development of magic to this day.

And today the curse was utterly denied. The shock seems to have had a huge impact on college lecturers...

"Hmm, it's time to push, so I'm going to end up around here this time. But that's all I can say. That this decryption method is the right one! I hope to abandon old habits and worry about further leaps under right reason. Above…"

The auditorium was quiet.

Those who have learned it will not be able to applaud it, because what they have believed so far has been denied.

This will create a conflict between those who adhere to the current policy and those who challenge new possibilities.

But that conflict did not exacerbate either, to the extent that it would be contentious until it could completely decipher the magic formula.

In addition, the Saint-Germain laboratories receive a lot of support and the authority will grow.

The Teachers of the Demons at the top of the faction show an intensification of factional strife and a move to take in the Saint-Germain sect, but the Saint-Germain sect, a nest of research idiots from the beginning, never got along at all.

The only person treated in a favourable manner was the soloist faction of the newest faction.

At the same time as the authority of the Saint-Germain faction rose, the authority of the Solisterian faction, the Royal faction, rose, causing the authority of each faction to collapse.

Naturally, the Whistlers are no exception. The impenetrable emotional spearhead will be directed at the college students, the end of the faction.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

OB. In any world, the earlier academics behave in a great way.

I'm not saying that all my predecessors are, but I'm just arrogant that I graduated from college first even though I'm not so good, and I preach meaningless sermons with my eyes from above when I show up at college even though it's no longer relevant.

It would be nice if this were a war council with real stories of the earlier ones consisting of experience, but it is actually just a notional dumb spill of putting in a drink. Weasler college students were sick and tired of being asked to postpone a great sermon that would not yield any fruit or food. I can't wait to repeat the same story over and over again.

If you suddenly show up and use the lecture room on your own, and are heard to be gutsy about a complaint that only seems to be a waste of time, you will just become suspicious of the faction.

You don't even know it's that simple, do it. 'My faction must take control of the military and go the right way' or do it. 'I didn't expect you to fall behind other factions. You are lax. When I was young...' And this is how it goes.

They probably said the same thing from the guys up there, and they came to exude that stress.

It is a nuisance only from a college student.

"... at all. What the hell are you doing to get behind the Saint-Germain faction? If Nong were in the college, he would have never..."

And to words and actions that appeal to my excellence without meaning, all the college students said, 'If it were you, I should have announced how to decipher the magic formula. Just kidding, incompetence!' And I don't think to my voice.

"Then why didn't you publish how to decipher the magic ceremony? Nothing. You don't have to be in college to be in a place where you can study, do you? What have you been up to?"

When all Weaslerist graduate students looked back to the Lord of Voices, there was a grand attitude Zveit.

To him, who spoke for what they now think, the Weaslerian college students saw the brave.

"'If I were you,' he says, 'I'd be lazy,' but the Weaslers are a military faction that put tactical research and action into action in the first place. You can leave magic research to the Saint-Germain. With that in mind, Commander Domart, are you thinking about what this faction is all about?

"Who do you think you are..."

"You're a second-degree magician in the Magic League, aren't you? I don't care about that. Our faction should have been a faction that worked out and put into practice a defensive strategy to protect the people immediately in case of a national disaster. Magic research is second to none. Since when did this faction become a bunch of magic researchers? We're supposed to be factions studying and pursuing tactics."

"I know that! What Noh is trying to say is that it is a matter of increasing the authority of the Saint-Germain sect..."

"That's your job. What do you want from just a college student? We are constantly examining materials and topography about military installations in each territory, and are dawning in the study of strategic concepts and drilling of battles at various angles. It's in action that matters, and magic research is good enough to make simple healing pills. It's a different philosophy from the Saint-Germain in the first place."

"What are you talking about! If the authority of the Saint-Germain sect increases, it will be impossible for us to control our military affairs. You can't make the Knights look big forever!

These days the Knights were somehow getting more and more people exercising their magic.

Even though it is only a matter of liberation, the Whistler faction's voice has been diminished by the discovery and publication of a magical formula.

But in the first place, the Whistlers are factions to work out defensive strategies in cooperation with the Knights, and there must be no such thing as rivalry with the Knights.

By entering the framework of the Wieslers, the Wieslers switch from the idea of creating a system of cooperation with the Knights under the influence of other factions to the mastery of military authority.

Besides, most magicians have never experienced a real battle for their lives, and they see something called war sweetly. The kind of people who thought magic was all-powerful were making it wider in the upper layers.

"Are you in a hurry when a knight starts using magic? But the Knights and the Wizards fight differently. Knights are expected to fight in dignity with the prestige of their country, but the Mage must lead them to victory by whatever means they use to win. Just unleashing magic in the rear doesn't change the battlefield. Sometimes we have to fight like we're gonna hit it out of here. I don't think the best use of our power is possible because of our cooperative system with the Knights, where we work with people we don't trust."

"That's why you need to master the military authority of the Knights!

"We should also change the way the Mage fights. Strategies change with time. It's a common story that what you took for granted doesn't work in the next war either. It's not just a matter of being a turret like before. We should always seek new strategies. The knights started using magic in the first place because of your negligence. Just kidding."

The way the Mage has fought so far is basically a turret.

It was common to set up in forts and exercise magic from above the fence. I'm not saying that's a mistake, but the strategy can change dramatically depending on the commander.

Sometimes you have to be on the front line, for example, placing a magician in the Knights, turning behind enemies and cutting off supply routes.

However, most of the world's magicians were not able to fight, and they tended to avoid being on the front lines as much as possible. The reason for this is the lack of magicians.

It is a vice that has occurred because of the degeneration of the ancient magic formula of magic research and the inactivation of it if it is not someone with a specific amount of magic. Celestina, Zveit's sister, falls for it.

Excess losses must be avoided beyond the limited number of magicians. As a result, I was more inclined to take a conservative position.

I'll give you an example of what happened earlier, but the Mages don't like to go to war before they even carry out an operation to cut off enemy supply routes, and the Knights who pull out the Mages make a huge sacrifice. It is naturally easier to be discovered because there is no magical support to erase appearances and signs. It's quicker for a knight to learn magic than a magician can guess.

For that reason, the better and the Knights began to think that there was no magician who could not guess, and they began to reject the magician.

A large number of practical examples accumulated, deepening the gulf between the Knights and the Mages.

"How long are you going to drag your old stinking habits? Do we have to work in such a crappy organization? Does it make sense to be so prestigious as to persevere until you abandon your role of protecting the people? We'd like to ask the Domart Second Commander. I was wondering if I could really protect my country as it is now."

"Ugh..."

Domart didn't come to Istol School of Magic for a college student. It's just for stress.

However, the Whistlerian Wizards enrolled in the College had doubts about the current Wizards.

The Order of Mages is an organization to protect the people of the country is the primary premise, and the situation today is such an environment as to create distrust. I can't even flatter you as a wing of the defense organization.

It should have simply come to scatter grievances within the organization among the college students, but at some point the eyes of suspicion have been turned to ourselves against the Order of Mages. So many current graduate students were outstanding.

Here, 'Your opinions are good, too. I wish I could always say that we need reform against the organisation itself', but unfortunately Domart is not a person who can say that.

You can't say anything extra because you only care about decency and you know your neck will fly if you say something far-fetched.

In the first place, if someone could dignify suspicions within the organization, they wouldn't imitate, for example, telling college students to be stupid until they came to college. It's a middle management position.

"The Mages are strange now in the first place"

"That's right. We are trying our magic to protect the people. But what's the point in creating an organization that just doesn't interact with the Knights?

"It would be quicker to dismantle the Enchantress once and restructure the organizational structure, wouldn't it?

"I would prefer meritocracy that has nothing to do with nobility. When a fool is at the top, he who follows below is unhappy."

"If it's the current situation of the Mages, it's better not to, right?

"Not at all. We have to fight with the Knights when things happen. Conflict between organizations is nonsense."

Domart's big miscalculation he didn't know about. That is that the current Whistlerian college students have set up meritocracy and are now in a position of head-on conflict with the Order of Mages.

If we reject them, good people will go to other factions, and if we accept them, we can threaten our position.

If you accept the Mages poorly, there is also the risk of reforming the faction structure at will, and the aftermath will also greatly transform the Mages environment. It was fiercely poisonous from the standpoint of wanting to protect current authority.

Even more troublesome is that these juniors are headed by Zveit. In other words, it is the blood of the Duke of Solister.

We can't even handle it underneath, and if we turn to our enemies, we could risk ourselves and be banished from the worst of the Devil's Leagues.

The royalty, led by the Solisterians, is now definitely gaining strength, and their opinions are no longer becoming something that can be ignored. With the addition of the Saint-Germain sect in a cooperative relationship there, the Whistler sect's right to speak would disappear.

"In the first place, it's foolishness, such as building factions within a single organization. What are they thinking up there?

"Shut up, you kids who know nothing! Orders above are absolute in the organization. You don't know what you're going to do if you turn it against me!

"Don't say anything different about this. Until we questioned the organizational structure of the Order of Mages and gave our opinion? If that makes you angry, the responsibility lies with those in active service who tolerate the current organizational structure. That includes the Domalt Second Commander. There is also a lot of responsibility shifting. On the contrary, do you think that many people can be entrusted with the lives of the Demons of today, who abandon the concept of national defence and move towards the expansion of power? Do you really think the military can be entrusted to such an organization? What do you think?"

He tried to silence him in his position as an active national demon mentor, but on the contrary he was fought back.

In the first place, college students are outside the jurisdiction of the Order of Mages, and the exercise of power can be a transcendental act that inhibits the development of talented people. The commandments of the Order of Mages are not adapted to the College.

No matter how much you talk within a faction, you are in a different position to assume responsibility in the demon mentors and graduate students of general society. In this case, the organization would be bad enough to inflict such distrust on college students.

It is dangerous because it is excellent from Domart, but it can be the worst if you deny the young demon mentors who think of the country and the people.

'If this were the case, I would not have come to the college...' he regretted violently, in a heartfelt hurry.

This is the result of trying to hit someone else with a stressful outburst.

"Shut up! A young man who has never even been in action is willing to give an opinion!!

"We've been through this? Surrounded by demons in a group in the Ramaf Forest. Besides, they used [Evil Perfume] on the assassin's guide. And survived."

"You sucked..."

"I thought I was gonna die, seriously..."

"The next thing I know, the demon will push us to the next place. Oh, we've all survived so well..."

"I'm glad you learned how to protect yourself. If I was bad, I'd be dead. I still need a melee."

He had much more experience in action than Domart. Besides, I can fight as well as magic.

The juniors now turn out to be better than themselves and are stunned. He is a true warrior.

Domart has no way of making it if he is brought into melee combat. Because I've never fought melee or anything, and I thought magic would do anything about it. Many magicians will be.

But the juniors find out it's not enough and learn melee skills themselves.

Although the salary is good for interim management, there was an increased risk that they might chase where they are now if they do poorly.

Most of the factions are aristocratic-centric, but I didn't think I could stop these meritocratic juniors.

It's no trouble because the blood of the four nobles is at the center. Moreover, his brother has published a magic formula decoding, and excellence is prominently gaining a higher voice.

"With that said, what happened to the reform proposal I submitted to the college council last month?

"Aren't you going to be sent under Your Majesty from the top of the Academy? I think it's time for some movement."

"I hope it helps us reform the Order of Mages at all."

"Wait, what did you send to the college council?

"" "." "It's a proposal for reform of the Order of Mages that we've interpreted as being, what is it?

It gets dark in front of Domart.

The College Council is, in short, the central body that supports the College's operation. Also, by reporting to the King the results of the research carried out by the Demon Supervisor of the College who completed the outstanding grades and the proposal of those who completed the corresponding outstanding grades, we make the materials for employing human resources.

Hiring talented people would also lead to national interests and defense, so the king would always look at the opinion. It is also not my dream to be welcomed with breakthrough treatment depending on the content of the paper.

And the College Council has something of a grudge against the Order of Mages, and it can be expected that their opinions will first be cited under the King.

The college side won't find it interesting because they're putting pressure on the college council somehow with power. What would happen if the structural reforms of the Zveit squad were brought in there?

The conflict between the Demons and the Knights is a headache, both for the King and the other ministers of administration. It is likely that once the proposed reforms and the like have been brought in there, we will be the first to recommend structural reforms in the military, which will form the basis for organizational reform.

Domal and I can't be sane looking back at our actions and thinking that we might be transitioned left. His heart beats as hard as an early bell.

"What else did you send to the college council?" It's not just the proposed reforms!!

"Well, a review of equipment and tactical proposals for military relations, followed by an assessment of the city well against the incumbent Mages and perceptions from the same Mages. Other than that, we have defense strategy plans for local defense, training laws, employment plans for hiring talented people... what else?

"You've submitted a lot, haven't you? Too many to remember."

"Hey, what have you done to me? You guys!!

"Domart, second degree magician sergeant, if you don't get the pus out early, the country will rot, right?

"I can't reform without pain. The Mages should be reborn."

"I don't need an incompetent man to cling to power."

"It's too late for anything, huh? I submitted it a month ago."

The worst was happening.

Everyone on this scene is a graduate student and it is still a long way off to get on the political stage.

But they are better than Domart, and their research areas and proposed organizational concepts are likely to be used for real reforms. Because the draft defensive operation that my men showed me before was a pretty good object to do.

Some of them turned their hands behind them because they were nobles and joined the Order of Mages. If the college students agree, those people could be eliminated by massive reform.

Being a student but excellence was the problem. If meritocracy takes precedence, you will also be an object to be eliminated. Because he changed the name of the draft statement he saw to his own and submitted it to the upper management. That's all I'm imitating. Conscious.

Now I'm coming to the college to relieve stress.

'It sucks...... I didn't know college students were up to this point...... If you do it badly, you won't be fired!

The scattered and prestigious Domart was struck by the cold, wondering if he had come here and been given ice water.

Times change constantly. Those who are out of the course of that age will only be drowned by the waves.

It may not be too late, but Domart decided to go back to report it up there.

"Kee, I remember the emergency. It would be good around here today...... So that you can improve..."

With heavy footsteps as if he were wearing shoes with lead in his feet, Domart left the room to escape this behavior.

"What's going on? That......"

"Come on? But you're glad the long story's over."

"Well. Well, I've wasted a lot of time, and you want to continue yesterday? Sure it was about the Duke of Lua's defense?

The Zvates are back to their usual routine again, not looking like they cared.

And he began his strategic research without any temper.

For the record, the proposed reform of the organizational structure of the Order of Mages submitted by Zveit and others will be adopted, eliminating many ineligible Mages.

Furthermore, even in the military, the draft defence concept is accepted, and the disturbing elements of the Order of Mages are instantly disempowered and expelled. This also led to reconciliation with the Knights, and the national defense of the Solister Magic Kingdom became a stepping stone.

Regardless, some of you have made a bad foot scratch to the end, but directly to the King, "What are you guys doing when a college student can come up with such a plan? 'And they say,' I have to reform my organization.

In short, we had to show that we were better than the college students.

The status quo could not be maintained because it was further reformed by royal decree, and a number of noble magicians were sent to departments appropriate to their abilities. The magicians, who were adamant about the status quo and smoked sweet juice, were immediately fired, he said.

At the same time, Zveit and the others were promised to join the Enchantress because of their achievements, and they will be expected to work in the future.

Currently a Weasler graduate student, he became an executive candidate for the Magic Legion.

But without knowing that such a thing was happening to the Tuvates today, it dawns into training and strategic research as usual.

Eventually, the Solister Magic Kingdom divided the Magic Instructors into military and research departments, each playing its part, and at the same time allowing them to collaborate with the Knights, but now they were still in turmoil.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The Great Library at Istol College. Common name [Library].

A week early after Cloisas' paper was published. The rarely used barn of knowledge was now filled by many graduate students.

Lecturers, teaching, etc. were also seen, caused by a large gathering to learn the right knowledge.

Some lecturers still can't recognize reality, but it's a big deal to know how to decipher a stagnant magic formula, and they embarked on a magic formula study with us.

But there can be exceptions here.

Knowing how to decipher a magic ceremony faster than anyone else, it's Celestina, an ex-dropping, grown up so that you can make it now if it's simple magic.

Together with my friends Urna and Carostin, the three of us were going to do a magical decoding job.

"... you've gotten busy. Now there's no place for me to study."

"Wow, you're full. If I stay here, I'm gonna catch my breath."

"I have no choice. Senior Cloisas' paper was the key to advancing the stalled research, wasn't it? Because everyone wants to create their own magic and want to go ahead on the path of truth."

Celestina and the others also visited this library to improve rather than study magic formulas - but there are no longer seats anywhere.

If you remove your seat once more, the others will take you away, and there is a spectacular Issue fight going on. It's only natural to kick someone else's ass to move on.

This is all the more so if you are a senior graduate student.

"That's when it's here! Excellent stuff your daughter is also reading in her spare time!

"" "Uh-huh!?

A cool maid who suddenly shows up, Miska.

She handed Urna and Carostee what she had in her hand.

"Misca! That's..."

"Heh, Master Celestina is reading something like this.................................. Huh!?

"What is this thin book............ hiuuuu!?

A world of skin tone that spreads within an open book.

Urna and Carostee glimpse the unknown world and eventually turn their gaze to Celestina.

"Chi, no!? Sometimes it's something Miska can sneak inside a book in her room or put in front of her desk at some point, and I'm not..."

"Huh, lady...... You can't lie to me, can you? I know. Hot rolls of passion written on precious notes...... That is an excellent piece of work. I suggest we put it out in the world?

"No, no, no, no, no!? What are you reading!!

"Regardless, it is the unknown of Shura called love, who wrote without any extra roll of thought with the hot patos of a lady?

"It's certainly an unknown world... but no, isn't it kindness that keeps you calm there!?

"Lady...... you are not such a kindness to me!!

I assured you.

I would use any means to defeat Celestina, a maid named Misca.

Even if that is the path of decay that you will never return to.

"Say something from both of you..."

"Mr. Caro... this is amazing..."

"This is such a disgrace... it's a tease! Gokuri......"

I was reading a thin book with such hot eyes.

"Hehe...... here are two drawn to the charm of decay. That's an achievement inside, ma'am."

"Why are you pushing the blame on me, it's Miska's fault!?

"It's people's freedom to fall. I just handed you the book, didn't I?

"What a lovely smile with no evil...... The look on your face as if you did it somehow comes to mind."

Miska doesn't hesitate.

Because she's always serious.

"It's my fault, it's like Miska's behavior has escalated lately..."

"It's not my fault. I'm a woman who even spits on the Four Gods if it's to tease the lady!

"A corrupt demon who doesn't even fear God...... Miska, what color is your blood?

"Emerald green, right? With the sun, you can live."

"Photosynthesis!? Was it a plant!?

I'm really satisfied with every scratch I get.

This is the expression of Miska's affection, but it is not accumulated.

"Ha... More than that, what shall we do now? With so many people, there's no place for us to study."

"Uh-huh, yeah. Everywhere you go, there's a crowd around Master Celestina."

"The research building cannot be lent to us in the middle... what should we do?

It is difficult for elementary school children to gather well around Celestina to carry out their own research.

Carostee is also in a position where permission is needed to use the St. Germanic research building, which is too large for the three of us to use the lab even if permission is granted.

Even if we do decryption studies of magic formulas in dormitories, we cannot perform magic activation experiments that we have built ourselves. As a rule, experiments are prohibited in dorms.

"Do you know only one place?

"Where is it? I'm concerned about the place that Miska has a crush on. I only have a bad feeling about it."

"This is Master Kreussus's room. According to the story, all sorts of materials are stored in the room."

A place where magic experiments can be done quietly. Outside the research building is only a general laboratory set up inside the Great Library, followed by a room in Kreussus that falls outside the scope of extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Outside common sense, the College's danger zone. At the end of the day it is called the Dangerous Zone of the Istol School of Magic, a mysterious space full of unknowns and mysteries.

"... It's been rumored for a long time, but this day is finally here. This is the day to challenge a mysterious realm…"

"Oh, Master Celestina is going. I'm very motivated."

And Celestina was curious.

I am willing to challenge the mysterious space.

"Yes, you shouldn't! There... go to that room..."

"Mr. Caro, is this such a great place?

"Master Carostee is a victim, so you must be familiar with the danger in that room."

"The Wizard is the Seeker of Truth. I challenge! To see the unknown…"

Celestina is intrigued by the danger zone of the college where her real brother lives.

I just wanted to know what was waiting for me there and what mystery was hidden.

The ready explorer of truth turns to the greatest secret of the College. 'Let go, don't just forgive me over there - - Ew!!' while dragging the victim screaming.

Celestina Expedition challenges. Prepare for danger to the greatest mystery of the College...
