Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

The royal castle of Ardelheit, in its basement, has an establishment known only to the upper echelons serving the royal palace. What was there was considered top secret, and it was also a place that could be called the heart that formed the backbone of the country. Its applications range from the power source of the junction that protects the castle and castle towns to laboratories that create magic items.

"Welcome aboard, Prime Minister Joseph Magic Guide. Which way do you want me to connect you?

"To the dean of the Ardelheit School of Magic. Quickly, please."

It was one of those groups of facilities that Joseph took to his feet. Crystal-shaped magic items installed in this room reflect those who are far away and allow for conversation. This magic item has also been independently developed by Ardelheit and is a secret of existence. It is not as convenient as a mobile phone or TV phone in modern Japan because magic items cannot be activated without placing similar large crystals in places where both conversations take place. Besides, it takes the magic of a leading wizard to activate it. However, there is no other way to talk to those far from the other side of the world, and although the location is limited by magic eating, it seems to be of considerable importance as an institution.

"- Magic fill complete, college side seems to be ready too"

"All right, connect me."

"I understand. The crystal will show Dean Hao."

"Uhm."

When Joseph approaches the large crystal placed on the pedestal, it remains transparent until then, when it glows pale and creates something shadowy in it. Gradually, the figure became clearer, until by the time ten seconds had passed, he could tell whose face he was.

'... Thank you for waiting. Hao Square, here we are. "

The next thing I heard from the crystal was an old man's voice. It is Hao, the dean who partitions Ardelheit's proud School of Magic. Some are slightly older than Joseph, and his voice feels majestic. But he also seemed terribly tired, and I could see a slight impression of it. On a trivial note, Joseph is very nerve-sharpened right now, and it didn't take him long to see that something was happening at Hao's.

"What's up? Looks different than usual, though?

'Hmm... you're no match for the Prime Minister of Joseph's Magic Guide. I was going to report to you first, but this morning, there was a princess and a black iron.'

"... what did they do?

It is the ruins of Gibeon near the College that the knife made its way in this quest for the dungeon. If that's where the knife ran into Derris and Nell, it's no wonder they were going to Genius, the nearest city.

"That's what I want you two disciples to compete in this year's graduation festival using the Dean's nomination framework..."

"Stupid!

Joseph slams the pedestal, outraged. more so at this time of the event, why suddenly? That's how I feel. Joseph had a purpose in common with Hao, he had only been preparing for the graduation festival for a long time, and this abrupt incident easily drew anger from its old body.

"What's the purpose? Benefits of attending a graduation festival - honor for achieving grades, generosity in taking up a job, and a background in graduating from college as a chief? What do you do with such things to your disciples? Mmm..."

"Prime Minister Joseph Magic Guide?

Joseph remembers. An earlier conversation about the knife. Yuna wants to fight against all her classmates, who have temporarily become stronger than herself. The knife said it was a target. The point is that they are plotting revenge against those who denigrate themselves. A girl named Chinatsu, whom Nell took away the other day, was also trying to be the only shield when Yuna was being blamed. If you're that accommodating, it's easy to imagine giving a hand in revenge. Not to mention that Derris has a great chance of making it interesting. Even Nell will eventually be in tune with Derris farther afield.

Let's just say we take them into account. Assuming you give Yuna and Chinatsu, your disciples, the right to compete and let them win. Let Yuna and Chinatsu not enter the royal castle, it has been confirmed that they have repeatedly taken to the headquarters of the Knights. That is because the main nell of Negijo is allowed to enter, and it is not permitted to enter the Royal Castle without legitimate requirements. Two such breathtaking people of Delis get the most plausible justification and step into the royal castle. Eighty-nine, my classmate is the purpose. As far as the battle ahead is concerned, if you do poorly, your root fighting might even be cut.

And more of a concern than that is if the two of you wish to enter the institution that Joseph heads. Performing backwork from within the organization and letting Joseph lose his legs was really a hand that Derris was likely to do. Basically, the decision on whether or not to employ the hopeful is made here, but there has never been a traditional graduation festival in the long history of losing the hopes of its winners. If you refuse, you refuse, and Derris will sue the bait for injustice. Or I'm going to hit my worst hand than that.

Do not give Yuna and Chinatsu those powers. That is what Joseph came to the conclusion. The quickest thing to do is keep the two of you out of the game from the start. But I have decided that this is no longer possible.

"The rejection, of course, you did, didn't you?

'Yeah, yeah. But Black Iron has pointed out the injustice that spreads within the college… The officials pointed out will be punished shortly, from the back entrance to the names of the students enrolled -'

"- Oh, okay. The more money you spend, the more influential your home will be. The officials who committed the fraud were also mentioned in a letter from Delis received earlier. Probably true. Handle it inside."

Keep your meal here, there's no way Derris won't turn around. If you are unable to compete in a graduation festival, it is Derris who tries to lose the status of every college. Joseph knew from experience that he was fine and would do that much. Then there is only one way to stop the victory. It's about letting other students beat you after you let them compete.

"Hao, when was the graduation festival?

"Ha, it's been a week or so."

"Get the dates as soon as you can. The more time their disciples put aside, the stronger they become. I'll give you the guidance before you lose your hand."

'I understand, but the graduation festival is an annual festival. I'd like a moment of your time.'

"I don't mind. But whenever possible. Reassemble the tournament to win with my granddaughter by the end of the finals. If I could, I wish I could have specified the cane I could use here..."

"I can't make it to the boulder now. The cane handled by Therese Batten, the daughter of Ort, the lord here, is something special, too much rebellion '

"Hmm, a wand with that shield? Because of the Batten family heirloom, it's an idea to loosen the cane standards. We have to change it by next year's graduation festival."

"But even if you don't consider the wand, she will surely defeat you. Anyway, it's the Joshua family's star of anticipation. Joseph Joshua, Chancellor of Magic Guidance."

"Move your hand that spins more than your mouth that speaks. Details of the instructions will now be sent in writing. Act fast."

Whatever you say.

The call is over and the crystal returns to its original transparent. By Joseph's reckoning, the graduation was held quickly. It was the following day that the newspaper was delivered to the eligible students.

- Day 17 of training, over.
