Ascendance of a Bookworm

Graduation ceremony

At the awards ceremony, more than two people in each grade were apparently good grades that Aerenfest would be called. Intermediate and lower aristocrats say that while seating is excellent without complaint, it doesn't quite go to the level where practical skills are awarded as outstanding. Since the amount of magic is originally different, there will be quite a difference in the starting line.

... Thinking about it, even though you are an intermediate nobleman, your practical skills are at an award level enough to be chosen for sword dance, and Angelica, whose seat was at a fall level, is special, right?

"Your brother is the best, and your sister is the best. I was also so relieved that I was chosen as an excellent man.

Charlotte says so and strokes her chest down. When my brother and sister scored too well, the pressure was amazing, and it was small and zero. Wilfried has been chosen as a brilliant man, but he's a little dissatisfied.

"Brother Wilfried seems dissatisfied even though he was chosen as a brilliant man"

"In the order in which they're called, they're only losing a little to Oltveen."

Oltween seems to be a Lordship candidate for Drevanhell, and there are some good things about the procedure to cut it up in as much. Maybe I must have lost a little of my actual skill score because of my obsession with cool armor and weapons.

"Next year, we're gonna win."

After listening to everyone talk about the award, listening to his mother, who seemed to enjoy telling him about how Brother Cornelius and Leonore looked good at the award ceremony, he was summoned to the lord's room by his adoptive father, who came back a lot later from the award ceremony than everyone else. They have to have a meeting tomorrow.

"You were right to send Rosemayne home, Ferdinand."

That's what my adoptive father said at the opening. He said he was late to return because he had been called in by the royal family, and he had a meeting to see what a mitzvah celebration he could ask of the Virgin of Aerenfest for tomorrow.

Today, because the claims of those who assaulted us were that "kings without gluthrithheit should leave," with or without connections, a number of Biblical fundamentalists in the central temple will be enlivened. They need restraint on the central temple.

You can't possibly answer the royalty to the other person, "It's not something you learned about the royalty's relationship with the central temple, etc." or "There's no way you can do divinity without any preparation". "We even declined the award ceremony because today's assault was a tremendous burden for Rosemaine, both physically and magically," he said, refusing to go far.

"If my health permits, I was devoured, so I finally brought up the matter of Inmeldink and let it go to waste."

Before the assault in the arena, he also justified that I had also been attacked by senior aristocrats of Inmeldink. He claimed that Inmeldink's aim was Haltmoot, but I don't know how much more true of his opponent's claims than I was actually the one who was attacked. He has argued that when he performs his duties as temple chief, that is, when he performs divinity on the altar, he cannot even attach a guardian, so he doesn't want to put it out in public in a very defenseless state.

"If I could avoid it, that would be good. I don't want to create a precedent for Rosemaine to bless on behalf of the Temple Chief of the Central Temple. Rosemaine is the temple head of Aerenfest, not the temple head of the central temple. I don't need any extra work."

I gently pulled the sleeve of the chief priest, who exhaled as relieved.

"Dear Ferdinand, may I go see a service dance or graduation tomorrow? Are you leaving again?

Brother Cornelius will be dancing swords this year and will graduate. I don't want to leave a message in the dorm, I want to go check it out. As he stared up, the chief cleric sighed as he slapped a ton of temples.

"If you are weak and will continue to use it as a reason, you should leave it either in the morning or in the afternoon alone. … even without such conditions, he would leave without having half a day excited about the sunshine of Cornelius and his appearance alongside Leonore"

The clergyman had an unpleasant anticipation, but he never told me that I should never be present. It is my first graduation ceremony.

Brother Cornelius and Leonore attend the graduation ceremony, leaving only one of my escort knights Eudit. As I am just not comfortable, it was decided to call Brother Lamprecht and Angelica to escort them in Brother Cornelius's kinship frame for a detailed meeting, including the preparation of medicines and who to place around me.

After the discussion, the chief cleric did not stay in the dorm and returned to Aerenfest. They need to be able to use my amulet again that I've used, or prepare an amulet for myself that will replace the magic formations that are embroidered in my cape. We know it will be closed and caged in the workshop, so we only fed it at the dorm for dinner. Now it's okay to stay caged in the workshop until tomorrow morning.

The next day, when the students who had finished breakfast began to gather in the multi-purpose hall one by one, it would be time for the graduate parents to come on the transition team. Each child's private room is guided by side-service apprentices waiting in front of the transfer team.

"Good morning, Master Rosemaine"

"Otilier"

Haltmut's parents stopped by to say hello to the multi-purpose hall before they went to Haltmut's room. I know Haltmut's mother well because she's an Otilier, but this is the first time I've seen her father. I wondered what he was like, but he said he was a civilian near his adoptive mother. The face and atmosphere are very similar to Haltmut, and it feels like an aged Haltmut. Although there was only contact during the long exchange of noble greetings, he was a calm atmosphere man who seemed to be like this if he pulled out the whole legend of the Virgin from Haltmoot.

...... hmm? If you pull that part off Haltmoot, aren't you a good person, a good informant, and a very good person? No, no, I'm Haltmoot's father. I'm sure there's a flaw you can't just see at first glance, like Haltmoot.

With that in mind, Brother Cornelius's relatives come as they escort him to Haltmoot's room. Father and mother, brother Lamprecht, Angelica, so it's a big place. Your father today is not your adoptive father's escort knight. The escort knights are closed and we'll leave everything to the deputy commander.

"Instead, they tell me to escort Rosemaine in the kinship frame"

"I feel so great to be escorted by your father, the Knight Commander. I'm sorry Brother Lamprecht and Angelica all of a sudden called out."

"If you don't get a chance like this, you can't step into the House of Lords," the two people who were supposed to have been summoned by their father and mother back last night to escort them shook their heads with a laugh.

Your father and mother headed to Brother Cornelius's room, but the two were to remain around me in this multi-purpose hall. From what I've heard about Aerenfest, it seems that Dermuel today is supposed to receive personal guidance from his uncle because he's a fellow voicemail.

"I wanted to go, I moaned. I wanted to be guided by Lady Bonifatius."

"Did something unusual happen that we were called? What happened?

Last night, my parents back from the House of Lords only ordered me to, and they said, "Because early tomorrow," with little explanation. In the form of answering Brother Lamprecht's question, I speak about the assault.

"In that state, it's dangerous to have one Rosemaine escort knight."

Brother Lamprecht seemed convinced, and Angelica was listening with a smile that she didn't seem to understand very well and a step back, so she decided to come up with a topic that Angelica was likely to show interest in. I'm talking about a ditter battle between the chief cleric and Heishitze. Angelica was very excited to eat. The way the deep blue eyes sparkle looks somewhat like Clarissa's.

"I can't believe that's how much I react to Ditter... Angelica could have misplaced the territory where she was born"

Isn't Dunkelferger the perfect territory for Angelica? Angelica sifted and shook her head at my whining.

"No, Master Rosemaine. Dunkelferger is also a strong ditter, but many also do well. At Dunkelferger, I think I fell in the knight apprenticeship selection, and since Lady Rosemayne was not here, I should not have been able to graduate from the House of Lords."

I am glad I was born in Aerenfest, and Angelica smiles happily dyeing her cheeks slightly. Brother Lamprecht looked stunned at the difference between that smile and the overly unfortunate claim, finally noticing Angelica's contents.

"Lamprecht, were you already here? Will you be escorting Rosemaine today?

Wilfried came to the multi-purpose hall. Brother Lamprecht, his own escort knight, finds himself at my side and approaches me.

"Master Wilfried will also be escorting you together. I'm your fiancée, so you'll sit nearby, won't you?

"Well, what do you think? Me and Charlotte are supposed to sit alongside my father and mother, but Rosemayne is going to leave a little because she puts them in Cornelius's kinship frame to increase her escort? Hasn't Rosemayne heard from your father?

Apparently, the seats where Mr. and Mrs. Aub and the Lords' candidates are seated while in the House of Lords and others are seated are a little further apart.

"Me, I'm not sure about the seating order. But since Ferdinand predicted that he was going to fall down excited about Brother Cornelius' sword dance, I think he would be sitting near Ferdinand in an exitable seat"

"My uncle is like his attending. Are you feeling any better today?

When Wilfried asked me how I was feeling, I stared at my hand and leaned my neck.

"I don't think it's bad, but it doesn't really matter if you're feeling better or worse because when your emotions go down, they suddenly come."

"Hmm, for Rosemayne, graduation is her first event, so she could certainly daunt her emotions. Lamprecht, watch out for Rosemayne."

"Yes, sir."

Brother Lamprecht kneels down on the spot to receive Wilfried's order.

"Thank you for lending me your own escort knight. I know, Brother Wilfried."

"No, it would be better if they could participate in the event at all. To do so, wait for them in the dorm up to three bells, so that they can enter with their parents. All right?"

When two and a half bells ring, students other than graduates and graduate escort roles are supposed to leave the dorm and be ready for the auditorium by the time the lead graduate enters. And when the three bells ring, the guardian enters and the graduate enters.

'Cause if your sister falls in the prep phase and you don't see the sword dance I was looking forward to this year, I'll be sad too "

That's what Charlotte told me when I was ready to leave, and I thanked my sister for her sister's thoughts and missed the students' departure.

The chief cleric came to the dorm after everyone had left. The cloak that was torn apart by Turnisbefalen's nails is new.

"Rosemaine, get your arms out."

I think it is due to lack of sleep that I have a slight wrinkle between my eyebrows than usual, but I am in a pretty bad mood. I found Brother Lamprecht freaked out.

When I give my arm to the Cleric Chief, who looks very grumpy, he puts on an amulet bracelet. And the chief clergyman put out a stamp, chanted "Stilo," and started messing with the magic formation a little bit. I can see a little bit of magic getting sucked.

"Let's do this. So, Rosemaine decided which morning or afternoon to attend?

"It's the morning. I want to see a sword dance and a service dance."

"... a service dance"

With a difficult face, the chief cleric muttered so, exhaling slowly.

By the time the 3 bells ring, the ready graduates descend into the multi-purpose hall. The guardians shall go to the auditorium, and those who escort others shall go to their dormitories.

Brother Cornelius is wearing a costume for sword dancing, but Haltmut is an official outfit that can go straight to graduation because of the music.

"Haltmoot's picking up Clarissa, right?

"That's right. The Tea Party Room, where other people from the realm can meet."

The woman waits in the tea party room in her dorm, and a man picks her up there.

"It must be a very mind-boggling time to wait for the lords to come and pick you up. I wanted to go through it once, too."

Mother can't seem to help but enjoy her graduation ceremony, an event that concludes the last of the Love Stories in the House of Lords. Very tense in the morning.

"What, Elvira was unhappy getting out of the same dorm as me?

"Oh, Master Calstead. I'm not dissatisfied. The swing of the mind awaiting the reception of others is also a reversal of anxiety."

Will you really pick me up, or will you wait for me? Can we keep going until we get married, or can't this escort be the only thing that ends and goes on? Because of all the anxiety, Mother said she would be even happier.

"Stories are fun to have, but I prefer my life to be unshakeably stable."

... I think it's far from stable and thrilling to get your hands on the printing business or make a book you have to hide from the clergyman.

You might want to ask the Cleric Chief once what the word stability means to see if my common sense is off track.

In addition to your father and mother, Brother Lamprecht, and Angelica's relatives, I will go to the auditorium in the great area of Richarda and the line of the chief cleric. Accompanying my walking speed was my father lifting me up and taking me in the shape of "I listened to my beloved daughter who is not feeling well but who wishes to attend the graduation ceremony" because everyone else is having a hard time.

There was already a large crowd in the auditorium. The walls, which had been visible in the time of previous lectures, have been removed, and the auditorium has an audience seat that is staircased as if it were a colony. At the centre of the auditorium there was not a single desk or chair, like when all the school years were gathered for lectures, and a white cylindrical stage was set up for performing the service dance and sword dance.

What is completely different from the Colosseum is that it is connected to the chapel behind the auditorium. The prayer room with the altar is a room that has only entered once to take God's will, maybe in the shape of a forward rear circle grave if seen from above. I didn't think the auditorium would be so deformed, I looked around in dismay.

"... not like the auditorium I know"

"Wouldn't that be funny? Because it is so staged, it is easy to see sword dance and service dance."

Today I am not a Lordship candidate, I am supposed to attend the graduation ceremony in the position of brother Cornelius' sister. That's why I'm sitting in the protective seat. Although a little far from the seat where the Aubs are sitting, it is a better seat than it was quite a while ago because they are senior aristocrats.

My seat is next to the clergyman to the right, Angelica to the left, with your father and mother lined up in front, and Brother Lamprecht and Richarda lined up in the back. It was solidifying around the gutter.

"Rosemaine, hold this."

"Is this an anti-bugging magic device?

"... just in case I don't think you can keep quiet"

I was told to hold it all the time, because it was difficult for me to be raised up in an odd voice, and I held it in my hand as I was told.

Three bells rang, and after a while, the graduates entered and lined up sloppily on the stage. When escort opponents of different grades move to a determined seat, the royal family then enters and the temple head of the central temple comes before the altar.

Although on a completely different scale, it wasn't much different from the mitzvahs I've been through many times. Myths about adults are read and blessings are made. It took a great deal of time to celebrate, but as I know the celebration, because all the birthseason people are gathered together.

"... just like the former temple chief, you don't get any particular light of blessing"

"Unlike you, there must be enough magic to bless everyone gathered here"

Since I hold the magic device to prevent eavesdropping, only the chief cleric can I talk to. Upon completion of the adult blessing, we thank you for your protection so far and offer music, sword dance and dance to the gods.

Everyone got off the stage once, and those who performed the music took the instrument to the stage with their hands. Those who do not possess instruments sing songs. Though I have only practiced fesh peel, I can see that it is a whistle, a drum, and various instruments exist.

Everyone lined up against the altar and set up their instruments.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

Along with such prayer complaints, music is played and songs are sung. It was a song that sang the joy of spring, healing the wounded Gedurlich and praying for a sprout of life.

At the end of one song, the music people got off the stage and now moved to the shape surrounding the stage. Instead, those who perform sword dancing in blue costumes rise to the stage. Twenty people go up on stage.

It's Brother Cornelius.

"You'll see. Calm down."

Set up the sword that Brother Cornelius put out in Starp. The music began to play, and the sword flashed reflecting the light along with it. Unlike Angelica's sword dance, which was graceful, I wonder if it's because she's still a man, the sword wave is very powerful. Angelica was a flowing move, but Brother Cornelius is pretty in every move.

The sword dancer said the top performers would be chosen, and no one and he had great skill. More and more sword-wielding movements also increase in speed, in line with the music that gradually gets faster. The force was out of step from what I saw in the video.

"Is that really Cornelius?

"Yeah, I am. Compared to when Lamprecht knew about it, it would grow a lot, wouldn't it?

"Oh, I'm surprised"

Angelica nods several times, listening to Brother Lamprecht and Richarda's conversation.

"Cornelius has really improved."

Until last year, my mother smiles back at Angelica's grunt, who practiced sword dance with me.

"I want to show my beloved Leonore something good. Angelica could be stronger if she wanted to show Eckhardt the good part too. Well, why don't we try embroidery or something?"

"Show Master Eckhardt the good and be strong...... Lady Rosemaine, where's my good news?

It was Brother Eckhardt sitting next to the Chief Cleric, not me, who replied with a smile to Angelica's inquiry, which flushed her mother's suggestion lightly.

"Angelica's beauty is that she doesn't rush her marriage and sincerely acts as an escort to Rosemaine"

"Okay. I won't rush marriage, I'll be stronger."

... Brother Eckhardt!

Mother sighed and shook her head at the verbal interaction that she didn't think was a conversation between her fiancées. The road to these two marriages seems very long.

At the end of the sword dance, the next is the service dance.

The Lordship Candidate rose to the stage, rocking his flickering long sleeves. I can see Adolphine putting together a yellow costume, the precious color of the goddess of wind. The neatly put together wine red hair looks radiant, probably because of Touri's made hair decorations. Lüdiger had a white costume and a pale hair color, which made him look white overall.

Lordship candidates line up in their respective positions towards the altar just like music and sword dancing, kneeling and touching the stage.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

The moment the voice of the Lordship Candidate rose, a magic formation emerged on the stage of the service dance, which until then had been white. There are lord candidates who pray to their respective gods in the positions of each attribute, in a magic formation containing all attributes.

"Dear Ferdinand, that magic formation was the same as it had surfaced in the Bible..."

"Rosemaine, you must know nothing. Didn't I?"

You were right to leave me with the anti-bugging magic equipment, the chief cleric groaned small.

"It was. I don't see anything."

"Nice."

I also saw last year's service dance with magic equipment like videos. But it shouldn't have happened then. Has it become visible on the same principle that the magic formations of the Bible are now visible? What magic formation is it? Doesn't anyone else see it? Why is the chief cleric visible?

A number of questions come to mind.

I looked up at the side of the chief cleric, who I knew would never answer even if I had an answer, and I exhaled softly.
