Ascendance of a Bookworm

When I stood up with the knight apprentices competing in Ditter for speed, Wilfried grabbed my hand with a difficult face.

"I don't know what you're willing to do, but stop it, Rosemaine. From what I've been thinking, I feel like a hell of a lot can happen when they leave."

"It's an imitation of Dunkelferger, Brother Wilfried. If this Cavalier apprentice gets a little excited, that's fine."

When I said so while showing Dunkelferger's enthusiasm and the already distracted Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest, Charlotte put her hand on her cheek, trying to think a little.

"Um, sister. Isn't this ditter battle good as it is because if Dunkelferger doesn't win, he can't perform subsequent rituals? I don't think your sister needs to imitate Dunkelferger's ritual."

"... if you ask me that, you did"

Dunkelferger's ritual should have been before and after Ditter, and the later ritual should have been a ritual to celebrate victory and give thanks to God.

When I tried to sit back convinced by Charlotte's words, Restylaut, who had returned from the arena, waved, "Because of this, you should try it".

"Isn't it also necessary in studying whether performing the same ritual makes a difference between Dunkelferger and Aerenfest?

"Well, that's... Master Restylaut is right..."

Wilfried and Charlotte look at each other like trouble.

"I'm just wondering if the results will change if the person doing it differently in a ritual I went to at the same time in the same place. It's for research. Try it."

"Yes, I did. It's for research."

Nodding to Restylaut, I go down to the arena with the knightly apprentices on horseback. Going down, Eudit sneaked up on me as he indicated my standing position.

"Can Master Rosemaine dance with this song?

If I looked around in a meticulous voice, the cavalier apprentices who told me to perform the ritual just like Dunkelferger looked more anxious. Though only Leonore, who perceives that I have said that I will perform this ritual to give a sneak blessing, moves stiflingly to indicate the position of the knight apprentices.

"No. I can't because I saw it for the first time today. Simply imitate Master Restylaut and hold the spear together. I just thought it would be convenient to sneak up on Angrief's blessing."

In my words Eudit laughed slightly, looking lightly at his blind eyes.

"Isn't that going to be the same result as Dunkelferger? Pre-building collapses for collaborative research."

"It's okay. Because I will make the eulogy the same as Dunkelferger's. I just wanted to sneak a blessing to everyone, but this would help with a little research, wouldn't it?

Eudit nods and goes back to his standing position. Instead, Leonore came and explained to me that everyone was in position and then the point I absolutely had to keep. Simply put, they just need to hold the first and last straight.

I looked around at the knight apprentices surrounding me. It shouldn't start unless I call out and spear in the Staarp.

"Give us strength to come to battle!

... Er, so you just have to spear it out, right?

"Randze!"

And when I put out the starp, I turned it into a spear of Lydenshaft. With that in mind, all Knight Apprenticeships were able to turn Starp into a spear, but the Knight Apprenticeships' gaze is pointed at Lydenshaft's spear as a surprise.

... Speaking of which, did I ever show you a little during last year's lecture, but never to the Knight Apprentices?

Lydenshaft's spears are not purposeful to show, so I might not have seen Lydenshaft's spears even in the Aerenfest people, except for my side proximities who are in and out of the temple. Still, now shouldn't be the time to look at this one with amazement.

... here. Don't turn around, you have to sing.

As I gazed at the knight apprentices staring at me, I struck the spear upon the earth with the loudest possible voice: "I am the one who created and paid the world and offered prayer and thanks to the gods".

Because of the words of prayer and spears that I am accustomed to, the knight apprentices also begin to move haphazardly.

"Gain strength to hold victory in our hands. The unbeatable power of Angleaf. Gain speed to hold victory in our hands. Faster than anyone, Steiferises."

In the middle of everyone singing and swinging their spears, I just stand there grabbing my spears. Besides, I can't sing because I don't remember the verse. But if it's just a prayer complaint, I can say it. He chanted in a low voice to hide in everyone's singing voice.

...... This brings me to the end of "Fight! ♪ You should raise your spear, right? ♪

Anticipating the timing well, he lifted his spear and said, "Fight!" and scream as loudly as possible.

The next moment, there was a dodgy loud sound.

"Uh-huh!?

The dumb voice I accidentally uttered seemed unrecognized by the fact that everyone's gaze nailed to the magic of flying out of Lydenshaft's spear.

As he looked up, he slowly lowered the spear he lifted high. What was in my hand was the spear of Rydenshaft, who had lost the blue light and lost his magic. The part of the demon stone has become transparent.

Retreat the spear that was in the way of my sight, and I watched what would happen to the magic that was struck out. If you can, just go back to your place and say, but I don't know if I can do that.

The magic that was circling over the sky put together some shades at some point. Many blue, but also yellow, red and green can be seen. Its light poured down in unison, and I closed my eyes, not by the glare.

Even with my eyes closed, my surroundings were dazzled, but that soon disappeared, too. When I opened my fearful eyes, I saw the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest around me, flabbergasted by the look of not knowing exactly what had happened, just like me. Look up and there's nothing more.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "What is that now?!?" The audience began to bother. Mainly Dunkelferger is making a scene, and I can see Wilfried and Charlotte holding their heads in the Aerenfest audience. When I got back to the audience, they would say, "So I told you to stop," even from here I understood very well.

"Dear Rosemaine, please go back upstairs as the competition is about to begin"

"Leonore, do you know what happened?

"We only know that Master Rosemayne gave a very massive blessing, but we don't know any more. I don't want to talk to you up there. 'Cause you might have seen better from a little further away."

That's what Leonore told me, and I have no choice but to return to the audience. As soon as I got back, everyone was asking the same questions. Dunkelferger eats better than the Lord's Candidate of Aerenfest with his head.

"Dear Rosemaine, what the hell was that?

"I've never seen anything like that happen in that ritual. What the hell did you do?

Asked at the same time by Hannelore and Restilauto, others await my answer with the face of intrigue. But there is no answer that I can give back to you in a busy manner.

"I know it's a blessing, but it's the first ritual I've been to, too, so I'm not sure what happened. From below it looked like there were blessings of various colors, how did it look from here?

Hannelore and Lestiraut look at each other and tell us what the ritual looked like earlier.

"Master Rosemayne was given the spear of the Rydenshaft, wasn't he? I have seen it, but everyone else was very surprised because they had never seen it."

"You may have received such a report quite a while ago, but don't you really think we'll be putting such a thing out here?"

Those around him nodded at Lestilaut's words and said, "When I reported, didn't your brother decide that it was up to him to be in dispute?" Hannelore gives a slightly obstinate look.

"That was already a beautiful appearance. I have seen the same ritual in Dunkelferger many times before, but for the first time I have learned that it was thus a sacred ritual. That's the Virgin of Aerenfest and the famous Lady Rosemaine."

"Um, Clarissa..."

I let my blue eyes shine with excitement and finally began to talk about how Clarissa looked beautiful.

"The spear of the Lydenshaft, which emits a patchy sound and a blue light, deserves to be called the Divine Gear, and the figure of Lord Rosemaine, who stands quietly singing prayer songs, was as clean and beautiful as the Mestionora, who was allowed to borrow the Divine Gear from the Gods"

"Shut this up"

That's what Lestiraut said as he looked at Clarissa. I certainly can't get this story going at all if Clarissa is talking with excitement.

"I, from the bottom of my heart, am truly, truly glad to be seen with this eye. How can I be different in my territory and school year if I want to burn more of Master Rosemaine's appearance in this eye? Ugh!

"Clarissa has a favor to ask."

"What is it, Master Rosemaine? Please tell us anything."

I turned to Clarissa and gave her a couple of sheets of paper that Filine had.

"Before I forget, I want you to write to Haltmoot. They say Haltmoot is studying the difference between my blessings and those performed by the nobility, so it would be helpful to write as much detail as possible about what this ritual was like. It's also important to assist with your fiancée's research, isn't it?

"As detailed as possible...... Yes, I did. I'll take care of it!

Clarissa, who received the paper, began to write abruptly. This will be quiet for a while. I judged so and turned my gaze to Lestillaut and Hannelore, "Let's keep talking".

"I performed a ritual imitating Master Restylaut and lifted the spear, and at that time I was surprised that the magic that was in the spear of the Lydenshaft had suddenly erupted."

Wilfried said, "Were you surprised too? It didn't look that way," he murmured. Apparently, magic jumped out of the spear I lifted and began to color as I rotated over it, pouring it down.

"It seemed to me that part of the light of blessing flew away somewhere."

Everyone affirms Charlotte's words. They didn't see it from me directly below, but they saw it from the audience.

"Where is it?

"I just don't know about that, but as I go around up there, some of the light goes like this, hiccup..."

"Speaking of which, I've had magic fly away before when I did another ritual. Maybe that's what happens when you perform rituals in the House of Lords."

The ritual for obtaining the name of the Dark God and the Goddess of Light was also handled with caution within the classroom of the Lordship Candidate. I cloud my words so that I do not speak unnecessarily.

"All the blessings of the gods who prayed seemed to have poured down, but what's the difference with Dunkelferger? Do we have to use the Lyden Shaft spear?

Now that Lestiraut has begun to contemplate with a serious face, I will also think a lot about the difference.

"There may be spear differences, and it may be magical devotion. Because the magic that was caged in the spear flew away. You didn't serve magic in the Dunkelferger ritual, did you?

"Serving magic is a ritual after victory."

"The devotion of magic is imperative to obtain the blessings and blessings of the gods. That would be the biggest difference."

Ditters competing for speed had begun sometime as we talked about the differences in rituals. Rufen summons the Warcraft to defeat from the Magic Formation, and the Knight Apprentices on the Horsebeast begin to fight. I started fighting with Dunkelferger first, but it's still a brilliant collaboration.

And it's the turn of the featured Aerenfest. With all that blessing, I watched everyone try to get themselves on board to see how it turned out.

"Begin!"

Warcraft is called in to start fighting, but everyone moves strangely. I'm suddenly braking and clinging to the thought that I've started barging in at a tremendous speed, or the next moment Eudit, who specializes in remote attacks, flies backwards like he was bounced by something. It's obviously weird in some very unwieldy move.

"Is something wrong?

"Everyone's moving strangely."

Lestiraut snorted hun as Wilfried and Charlotte sounded anxious.

"Others, wasn't the earlier one a blessing, a strange curse?

"Brother!

Hannelore hastily stopped, but it makes me feel like Lestiraut's words are more right if I'm watching how everyone is doing.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!

While everyone was squeaking, it was Traugot who went alone cutting to the Warcraft with a loud voice. Massive amounts of magic gather in the sword you grip and glow in rainbow.

"Wait, Traugot! I can't handle it. Magic is dangerous!

"Wouldn't you lose if you didn't do it fast!

"We've already lost while this one's stuck! Don't be a dangerous copycat!

To Matthias' voice. Traugot opened his eyes, then turned to a regrettable face and lowered his sword.

"At least, we keep it down to about 70%. Otherwise, the attack could fly to the audience."

"That can't be right. In my magic..."

"That's all that's at stake now. Keep your power down and attack me."

Looks like Traugot, who followed Mathias' instructions, curtailed his magic a little. With a little less magic light in his sword, Traugot waved it gently toward the Warcraft. But the attack was comparable to that of your father, the Knight Commander. Traugot wiped out the Warcraft with a single blow.

Would Traugot have had all this magic, as I blinked my eyes, "End! Winner, Dunkelferger!" The voice of Rufen echoes.

"Let's hear more about what happened to the Knight Apprentices with Rosemaine's blessing"

That's what Wilfried says to get the horseman out, and he goes downstairs. Me and Charlotte also continued, and two Dunkelfergers followed.

"You know what happened?

"It's very difficult to regulate magic. It feels like it's my body but I can't handle it well..."

I have no particular problem with just riding a rider beast, but if I can magic myself to speed, it will be unexpected speed, and if I try to stop it, it will suddenly brake. If we attack, there will be a huge recoil that has never happened before, and we can't stand on the spot.

"Is it too much of a blessing?

After finishing the rite of protection, I wonder if he was in the same condition as himself who struggled with the treatment of magic. In my words, the knight apprentices nodded cocklessly.

"Probably. I don't think my body was able to keep up with the disproportionate blessing."

Too blessed to move properly and defeated. This is pretty pathetic. It could still have been a better battle to do nothing.

"Looks like Rosemaine's blessing was really close to a curse."

"When your sister celebrates, you have to be careful about regulating magic."

I apologize to all of Dunkelferger for the best words of Wilfried and Charlotte.

"I'm sorry. Well, I didn't expect this to happen... I didn't intend to put this curse on the ritual that Dunkelferger has always held dear."

"It was just a bit of a bad time, Master Rosemaine. We've discovered something new, so you don't have to worry about it that way."

... Ugh, Master Hannelore is so sweet. Friends of my heart!

As he was moved by the kindness of Hannelore, Restilauto flipped a bassari and cloak to point to the center of the arena.

"It's the last ritual, Hannelore. You better go."

"Yes, my brother."

Hannelore rides the beast to the center of the arena. Lesti Laut, who was dropping off that back a little, looked at this one.

"Only a knight can be on this occasion. We're going back up."

As they say, we return to the audience.

I don't know what Hannelore said because I'm far away. However, he slowly began to wiggle like a circle over his head, turning Starp into an unfamiliar form of cane. It is a decorative wand, centered on a large, round crystal ball-like demonic stone, like a wide open fish strand or bat feather.

"Master Restylaut, what about that wand?

"They say it belongs to Fairfulemaire, the goddess of the sea. I don't know if it's true."

Lestiraut must be right in his words. Every time Hannelore turned her wand, she could hear the tide. Zan, there is a sound of a wave, and the loose magic gathers like a pneumonia from the bodies of the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest.

... If I am the Virgin of Aerenfest, then Lady Hannelore is the Virgin of Dunkelferger, right?

As he stared admirably at the way the magic rallied like a wave, Lestiraut opened his eyes and murmured, "What is that..."

"Whatever you say... In Dunkelferger, it's the ritual we always go after Ditter, isn't it?

But I've never seen anything like it before.

"Huh!? It looks like magic is coming out of the Knight Apprentices at Aerenfest, but is it okay?

"I don't."

"Oh, no..."

Anxiously, I look down on the arena.

As Hannelore's wand moves, the magic coming out of the knightly apprentices swirls around and gradually gathers around.

If Hannelore gave Ba and Wand up as he said something, a gathering of magic rushed up to heaven as if it were a dragon.

So the ritual seems to be over.

Beginning with Hannelore, the nearby knight apprentices return to the audience.

"Dear Hannelore, what the hell was that?

"I've never seen anything like that happen in that ritual before."

Hannelore smiled with a troubled face at me and Restylaut's question.

"I know exactly how you felt about Rosemayne earlier. I'm not sure what happened. I just thought it might be a good idea to stop the ritual along the way, so I went to the end."

It was Leonore and Matthias who answered the question to Hannelore.

"I wonder if the last ritual of Dunkelferger is a ritual of giving back the blessings given by the gods"

"I agree with Leonore. The blessings bestowed on Lady Rosemaine have disappeared, and it feels like magic has returned to normal."

"Then there may also be the sedative effect of sinking excitement. I can't imagine it happening after all this."

"Does it have a sedative effect?

As Hannelore blinks at Leonore's words, she shifts her gaze to the knight apprentices of Dunkelferger.

"Sure, after the Ditter fight, but you're not very excited"

I heard Hannelore gripping his fist and whining, "I need to be able to use this well..." Hannelore is much more positive, even though it is a ritual that has had a completely different effect than before. Around not moving at all, it seems to be a really big territory lord candidate.

I look like an idiot who was grating at an unexpected effect. You should apprentice Hannelore and figure out a more effective way to use the ritual.

... If I can adjust the magic I can get in, I'm sure it will help the Lord crusade in the winter, and I'll have to do a lot of research.

"Too many unexpected things happened, but there were also many new discoveries. I can tell you it was meaningful."

"Thank you for saying that."

I watched Lestilaut and Wilfried greet me as I stepped back.

"So when does Aerenfest ritual take place?

"Dear brother, didn't we show you Rosemayne's ritual earlier"

That's what Hannelore said as she gently pulled Lestiraut's cape, but Lestiraut shook her neck to the side.

"That's a Dunkelferger impersonation, not an Aerenfest divinity. It should have been more conditional on showing Aerenfest rituals than showing them this ritual."

When they say so, I certainly have not shown Aerenfest rituals.

"When?

Lestilaut's red eyes staring down at this one are full of curiosity. It turned out unexpectedly in this ritual, so I can't seem to help wondering what Aerenfest ritual has to offer.

"Right......"

I smiled nicely as I looked around at Hannelore, who seemed sorry, and Lestillaut and Clarissa and the other Dunkelferger students waiting for answers.

"Please do not contact me when you have finished all of Dear Restylaut's lectures. If Aub Dunkelferger thinks you've lost your grades for Aerenfest books and rituals, it's going to be an obstacle to the relationship between the territories ahead."

Hannelore said in my words, "That is such a wonderful suggestion, Master Rosemaine," and those around him said in unison to Restylaut, "Are you okay?" I turned my gaze.

"Hum!... If I get serious, the lecture etc will be over soon"

Restylaut turned his face like a muck and flipped a blue cloak and left the training ground with a large strand.
