Ascendance of a Bookworm

Upon entering the small hall, it was usually in my eyes that the white floor was spread with a cloth painted with magic formations. Sounds like a magic formation that transfers objects used by tax collectors and clergy chiefs. I wondered what it would be used for, and as I looked at the transfer formation, before that I met Rufen, who was benevolent with his hands on his hips.

"Oh, Master Rosemaine. I'm really looking forward to today's practical moves."

Rufen is laughing at the freshness with which his white teeth seem to glow, but I don't know what the hell I'm looking forward to. I flush with a loving laugh and begin to look for Hannelore. I need to talk to you about my favorite tea party.

I looked around with a groan and saw Hannelore talking to Wilfried. I wouldn't shy away from going in where I'm talking to other people, but Wilfried would be fine.

"Good day, Brother Wilfried, Dear Hannelore"

"That was late, Rosemaine"

"This still came straight from the library. This is the best I can do."

Answering that to Wilfried, Hannelore said, "Was Master Rosemayne in the library?" and laughed nicely.

"Yep. To register as a freshman at Aerenfest and give Schwartz and Weiss a magic supply."

"Schwartz and Weiss are fine, aren't they? I wanted to go to the library, too."

Again, Hannelore seems interested in libraries. I decided to be happy and talk about the tea party quickly. Keep it on the table, and we'll officially send an invitation through the sidekicks at a later date.

"I was talking to Dr. Solange, but Mr. Hannelore would also act as a librarian, wouldn't he? I'd like to invite you to a tea party for book lovers, but isn't that bothering you?

"Is this a tea party for book lovers?

"Yes. The scribe is one Dr. Solange, so the teacher can't leave the library. So we have a tea party in the library office at a time when there are few students who use it. How is it convenient for you, Master Hannelore?

Hannelore leans her neck slightly and thinks, "Right......"

"Seating ends relatively quickly, so I think we'll have time in the morning after about ten days"

"Then I will prepare for the tea party and invite you two, Dr. Solange and Lady Hannelore. Although the location is the library."

"I look forward to it."

4 and a half bells start ringing when Hannelore laughs happily. I stopped chatting and turned my gaze toward the teachers lining up. Only Rufen, who also sees Primvale near Rufen, but is pleasantly eye-sparkling, is oddly noticeable.

At the same time as the bell ended ringing, Rufen looked around at the students and shouted out loud.

"All right, we're all here, right? Perform the deformation of the stamp today. The challenge this year is to build weapons and shields."

... Wow, Dr. Rufen is very lively.

"The aristocracy must have the power to fight in order to defend itself, to defend its territory. This is not limited to knights!

Rufen talked about the role Dunkelferger had taken at Jürgenschmidt, and began to forcefully theorize how important power was.

"The Lords' clan must have the power to fight in order to protect their territory. Ultimately, the Lord is the only one who can protect the magic of the foundation. And senior knights who will serve near the side of the Lords clan should naturally possess the ability to specialize in combat. The side that makes life better must also be able to protect the Lord. It would be the same as a civilian. I don't know when or when danger will strike me. At the very least, we can't say we're close enough to buy time between letting the lords escape. Didn't you!? Strength! That's more important than anything!

The boys are shining their eyes at the assertion of hot Rufen holding his fist, but the girl didn't seem so much either. Severe temperature difference. From what I've seen, some of them have a girl eager to hear. They must be knight apprentices.

... Dr. Rufen pulls it off by accident because it's too hot, but you're not wrong about what you're saying. Combat and defense are essential. Because emergencies happen really suddenly.

Other realms of nobility have ravaged in the temple, raiders have come inside the castle, and I have also encountered dangerous situations several times before. I think it is the role of the aristocrats with a lot of magic to use magic to protect ourselves and our surroundings.

However, the civilian and side-service apprenticeships looked like they weren't pinned. Maybe the chances of feeling in danger are diminishing because of the end of the coup d 'état and the drastic decline in nobility.

In the meantime, Primvale advanced to Rufen with a quiet smile. Slowly he looks around at the girls and speaks in a soft voice.

"Some of you may think that we should leave it to the knights and lords to fight. But that's a mistake. Women are the ones who need the strength to protect us. You mustn't let your unclean lords near you."

The girls' faces rose like hacks and their eyes became serious. Once he saw it, Primvale nodded, lowering slightly behind Rufen, giving way to Rufen for his remarks.

"Everyone seems motivated, above all. Okay, let's practice from the shield first!

Each weapon is unsuitable, and the weapons you will need in a knight apprentice and a civilian or side-service apprentice are different. I want you to start where you make shields so that everyone can make the same thing, and Rufen and Primvale take some shields out of the magic formation. It is a rectangular shield made of metal, carved with simple wind magic formations.

"This was made of metal to unify the shape of the shield. Think of this shield, chanting Gettylt and deforming Starp. Here's the deal. Gettylt!

Rufen deformed Starp to create a shield. Speaking of which, I feel like all the Dunkelferger knight apprentices and Aerenfest knight apprentices I saw at last year's Treasure Stealing Ditter all had the same shield. I see Rufen's gripping shield, convinced that it is because I will learn in the lecture thus.

"It's easier to protect with all sizes and widths when you're lining up your shields to prevent a major attack. Gettylt is not heavy because it is a shield made of magic. You should be able to make it without any problems with women's clerks or flanking."

It seems to be a shape that is determined considering what the knight will use, but it's not heavy. It is a great pleasure for me to be weak. I just wanted to make it quick and showed a simple magic formation where Rufen seemed to be carved with his shield raised high.

"Can you see the magic formation engraved here? Thus overlapping the protection of Szczeria, the goddess of wind, on the shield increases her defense. Think of this magic formation and you'll be the shield of Szeria."

...... hmm? Doesn't that mean it's more powerful to think of a shield, a Szeri god in the temple, than this simple magic formation?

The shield of the Divine Gear is painted with more complex magic formations, with lots of demonic stones. Because Vilma painted me on a picture with carta and picture books, I always imagine a god's artifact when I make a shield of wind.

... but it's hard to rectangle the shield of Szczeria.

For me the shield of Szeria, the goddess of wind, is circular. Instead, I most often use it in a hemispheric state that wraps round me and the surroundings I want to protect. It is difficult to actively repaint an image that is fixed even when told to be rectangular. If I paint it poorly, it's going to affect me next time I build a windshield.

I was in trouble alone as Hannelore and Vilfleet put out their stapes and started practicing Gettylt.

"Dear Rosemaine, you look a lot harder"

"Wouldn't that be such a difficult challenge?

He peeks into me as Hannelore and Wilfried contemplate without even stepping out.

"It's hard. For me, the shield of Szeria is circular. Suddenly I'm told to think of it in a square, but I can't switch it right away"

"Is the shield of Szczeria circular? Have you seen Master Rosemayne?

They don't even know the form of divine objects by the nobles who don't usually go in and out of the temple. Hannelore tilted her neck with a decent face.

"The shields of divine objects that are decorated on the altar are circular. I feel more familiar with it."

"Why don't you ask Dr. Rufen if he can't do it with a circular shield"

"Right. Something you can't pass today as it is. I'll ask."

I turned to Rufen, who sees how everyone is practicing, and said, "Shouldn't it be circular?" I asked.

"I grew up in a temple, and I was more familiar with shields."

"But Master Rosemaine. Knight Apprenticeships cannot be trained with others unless they are rectangular"

I was told by Rufen as troubled, and I leaned my neck. It is true that knight apprenticeships have to be trained with other people, so they may also need to be shaped. But I'm a Lordship candidate, and I don't plan on fighting with anyone.

"Dr. Rufen, I'm a Lordship candidate, so I don't plan on fighting with anyone. I don't think a circular shield would be a problem at all."

Rufen put his arms together and tilted his neck so that he could not understand my words.

"Master Ferdinand's beloved apprentice won't take the knight course? Why is that?

"I don't care why... because I'm not interested"

Rufen opened his mouth to the point where his jaw was about to come off this time, shaking his head as he shrugged. I wonder if the whine leaked, "No way, that's..." I'm excited to open my eyes and close my face.

"Dear Rosemaine, what happens to Ditter!? You won't be able to join Ditter unless you take the Knight course!?

"I don't see why Dr. Rufen would be surprised that way. I don't really like Ditter."

"Holy shit!?

... I wonder how much they thought I liked Ditter?

I look around for help when Rufen begins to talk about Ditter's splendour and I feel a story flow about the shape of the shield.

... So, somebody help me!

It was Primvale who received my gaze and advanced me in the graceful footsteps where the water flowed. "Trouble," he mutters, smiling with his hands on his cheeks.

"Ditter's story is not something to do during the lecture, Rufen"

"But Primvale. Lady Rosemaine..."

Primvale smiled gently as she looked down at me as she gently raised her hand and blocked Rufen's words.

"May I see Master Rosemaine's shield?"

"Yes, Dr. Primvale"

I will put out a stamp, grip it in my hand, and put my magic into it. And I gently closed my eyes and thought of the shield of Szczeria clearly behind my brain. There are no objects to protect today either. It would be good about the size of a larger pan lid.

"Gettylt!"

I had Szeerian shields in my hands that I had made in prayer many times. Yellow and translucent, a precious color. And that surface depicts a magical formation that looks like a complex text. It's the shield I thought it would be.

"... it's a goddess"

Rufen stares seriously at my shield as he was surprised. There was also a deliberate voice from the surrounding students. With everyone practicing a square shield, only one person makes a round shield, so I can't help but stand out.

... The important thing is to pass.

I hold my shield and turn my gaze to Primvale asking whether I accept or reject it. "Okay, let's do the exam," Primvale said, smiling and nodding.

"All right, set up a shield!

With a motivated face, Rufen took out a demon stone about the size of his leather bag to the first joint of his thumb. Once I pinch it with my thumb and index finger to show its size, I shake my arm and throw it toward my shield with all my strength.

"Yikes!

You prevent it with a shield, even if you know it, you're afraid that a stone thrown at you with all its strength will fly towards you. I accidentally poured magic into my shield.

"Whew!?

The moment you hit the shield, bread! and make a flashy noise and the demon stone splashes, and from the shield the wind blows up the rufen. At the same time, one amulet I was wearing was activated. Apparently, being thrown a demon stone meant being attacked. One of the bracelets adorning the wrist holding the shield glows.

"Please defend yourself, Dr. Rufen! The counterattack is on its way!

"Gettylt!"

It must be because I'm used to fighting. The moment the amulet on his wrist began to glow, Rufen was changing his complexion and jumping up, shielding him almost simultaneously with my advice.

The magic of the attack pops out of the amulet on his wrist and flies straight as an arrow towards Rufen. Ha, and exhaled relief when he saw that Rufen prevented the amulet from striking back with a well-prepared shield.

"Dear Rosemaine, what is that now?

"This is the amulet Ferdinand gave me so that I can protect myself when something happens. I was just thrown a demon stone, so I'm glad it's a no big deal counterattack"

"Is that a no big deal counterattack now!?

Although Rufen is eye-opening as stunned, what has now been activated is the weakest counterattack of the amulets the Chief Cleric has allowed me to have. I just received it without a shield, and I will not die. It's gonna hurt a lot, but it's okay. By the way, the most absurd thing is the undead counterattack, the clergyman said as he raised the edge of his lips.

"It's a secret to learn more.... than that, how about my acceptance or disapproval?

"Master Rosemaine is able to photograph the artifact itself. The shield has passed."

"Thank you, Dr. Primvale"

I smiled nicely toward Primvale, who gave me my pass, and chanted "Leuken" to undo the deformation. And to get back to the Wilfries, I twitch and change the direction of my body.

In the meantime, it paved the way for everyone to avoid it. It is undoubtedly because of the clergyman's amulet that all the fright appears on that look.

Now that you have made way for me, I will go straight back to Wilfried.

"The shield has passed, Brother Wilfried. They say the Knight Apprentice has to align the shape of the shield, but I'm a Lordship Candidate, so it's not a problem to be circular."

"Rosemaine, is that all you have to say in this situation?

That is what Wilfried says with his head, and I look for other things to say.

"Something else...... oh, yeah. For using more complex magic formations, the shield of the Divine Gear also seems to increase its defense. Brother Wilfried doesn't take a knight course either, so you might want to build a shield for your god's equipment."

"No, you have a lot of noisy amulets, don't you? Why don't you at least take it off when you're in action? Isn't the perimeter dangerous?"

He shook his head slowly with a difficult face with Wilfried carving wrinkles between his brows. I know what you're trying to say, but it's the amulet that made me wear it because I felt I needed a cleric chief. I can't take it off on my own.

"I'm not serious about endangering my surroundings either. I can take it off if Brother Wilfried gets permission from Master Ferdinand. Would you do me a favor?

Wilfried had an aristocratic makeover laugh in my words and shook his head slowly.

"Shield practice time is over. So that we can each practice again."

Hannelore exhaled at Rufen's words, Phew. They say that the shape of the shield can be done quickly with Gettylt, but it is difficult to overlap the magic formation on top of it.

Wilfried is a lot worried about making it the same rectangular shield as everyone else, or trying to see if he can reproduce the shield of the Divine Gem with a focus on power. I can't deform the image unless it becomes clear, so if I don't decide quickly, I seem to be in a hurry. Seems like it's a troubling seed to be able to do either, just knowing the shield of Szeeria in the Karta and Scriptures.

"Damn, couldn't you have done anything but worry today"

"Brother Wilfried doesn't want to go to the library, so I think you should take your time. That's how you thought of the crested starp last year, isn't it?

Seems like it took a long time to make a stamp, and maybe a cool shield.

While we were talking about that, Rufen and Primvale began to take weapons out of the transfer formation one after the other. Swords, spears, sickles, axes, etc. line up sloppily. All of them are weapons considering slashing this.

"... you don't have a bow. Master Ferdinand used it."

It was Hannelore who answered my whining.

"I have heard that bows do not only treat such fundamentals in a teaching setting because they require training and are difficult to hit by demon stones. They're going to handle it on a knight's course."

"Dear Hannelore, you know very well"

"Dunkelferger has a higher ratio of knights than any other realm, so the heart of conversation in the dorm really makes him a knight apprentice."

That's what Hannelore said in embarrassment and leaned down. Dunkelferger's dorm is apparently Nori from the gym system. Book lover and quiet Hannelore is possibly floating in Dunkelferger.

"Weapons next. If you are a civilian or a side-service apprentice, some of you will not have seen it very close. Pick a weapon that suits you and deform the Starp. The knight apprentice is asked to remember the handling of the sword and another weapon. All right?"

When we hear Rufen's voice, everyone starts moving to the one with the weapons lined up. Is Wilfried interested, too, and he hasn't gone that far.

"The sword is Schwert, the spear is Lantze, the sickle is Leeswichel, the axe is Akst..."

As I hear Rufen explain the spell to deform, I think.

Spears are the easiest thing to do if you just deform a stamp and use it as a weapon. I've held it before, and I see it on a daily basis, so I can immediately imagine it if I were a Lydenshaft spear.

... but it's a different matter of whether or not you can handle it.

"Don't you see the weapon, Master Rosemayne?

"Yep. I think I can get it out right away..."

"Can you get it out right away? Could the weapon be a goddess, too?

Hannelore blinked her red eyes and stared at me. Obviously expected. If your friend expects you, you can't fail to respond.

"Dear Hannelore, If you don't mind, Lydenshaft's spear, would you like to see it?

"Are you sure?

I put out my stapes first and closed my eyes gently. I think of Lyden Shaft's spear in the back of my brain. That's the spear I held when I exorcised Schnetilm. It burns to the back of my brain with clarity enough to remember the size and number of demonic stones.

Schnetilm was having a bland snowstorm under a thick gray cloud. A mountain-blown cloak that I was struggling to argue with. And a blue glowing Ryden shaft spear that grips into your own hands and brings your magic to its limits.

"Lantze"

There was a spear in my hand just as I had in mind. It is very noisy to have magical and blue light from the time it appeared in your hands because it was the time of the battle of Schnetilm that came to mind with clarity.

"... this is the spear of the lyden shaft? How beautiful."

Being comfortable with Hannelore's surprise-filled whining, Rufen came to the appearance of a blue glowing spear with a change of blood phase.

"Dear Rosemaine, what is this!?

"It's the spear of the Lyden shaft. It was most familiar to me. I grew up in a temple."

I was familiar with the Divine Fixtures because I grew up in the Temple and pushed them off, and I leaned my neck with a spear in my hand.

"Dr. Rufen, do you also have a weapon exam?

"... if you can hit all this magic, it's going to be a big deal. Deactivate the deformation."

Rufen gave me a pass, whining with tremendous regret, even though I confirmed the power with this eye if this was the knight's building of specialty.

I call it "Leuken" and lift the deformation.

"Dear Rosemayne, I know you've shown great things."

It's not as user-friendly as using the spear of the Lyden shaft as my weapon, but I got a pass, and Hannelore rejoiced, and let's just be good for once.

"Nevertheless, I can't think of a weapon that I can handle. What shall we do?

Hannelore, who is used to seeing weapons in Dunkelferger, apparently doesn't need to go see the weapons on display. But I can't seem to decide what to deform it into.

beside Hannelore troubled, and I also troubled with him. I can't seem to wield a sword, and although I've only used a spear once, it's not a weapon for me. I want an easier and easier weapon.

... If I were to use it as a bow, I'd like it to work out even if I'm weak, like a bowgan. If you can shoot like a clergyman's bow and the arrows split and it rains and pours on you, you feel you can cover it even if your hit rate is slightly worse.

Mmm, roaring, I think.

… a weapon that I seem to be able to use easily. Hopefully, it's best to be able to attack from inside the Lesser Bus, isn't it?

Whatever you think, I'm not up for melee, so it's desirable to be able to attack from afar. Protect yourself while attacking. Dastardly enough. Safety first. I care about myself.

But even when I think about Reino, I don't remember using weapon-like weapons.

... knives, knives, sculpture knives, cutters and scissors could be weapons, but I don't want to use them as weapons, and they don't help me a lot when I'm attacked by a warcraft. I'm a pacifist, so I didn't attack. Oh, I remember being attacked.

When I was a kid, I used to read books while falling asleep when I was forced to fall down when I was shot with a glowing gun with the pyrophory and electronic sound of a toy that Soo-chan had, or when it was summer I was often shot in the back reading a book.

"..." Water cannon "?

My hand, squealing so with a stamp in my hand, held a translucent, cheap water cannon that was perfect for a child's hand.

... Weak!
