Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 87 Classmate, Clarifon Saeli Tully
I'm Clarifon Saeli Tully. He is the eldest son of the Viscount Clarifon family of the Headata Empire and has been enrolled at the University of the Headata Empire since this spring.
I have a woman who cares. I'm a classmate, Pallis.
I first tried her on my college entrance exam. I happened to have seats next to each other, but although purple hair was very rare, I was so distracted by the beauty that I took the written exam up in the sky. If I shouldn't do this, I managed to regain my feelings and get into trouble, but honestly, I wasn't sure.
Even after the magic practice exams, I ate. [M] Well, it wasn't just me, but the exam officers' teachers were having fun.
The magic practice exam is about using magic that you are good at. But occasionally, some of those who have had magic training from a young age can use two, and in some cases three, magic. In fact, I can use wind magic and water magic too. Before the exam was held there, the examiner's teacher called me.
"Whoever can use one magic, go to me, if you can use two, go to Dr. Salio, and if you can use three, gather at Dr. Shoose."
Everyone moves apart. I can use two, so I'm at Dr. Salio's, so when I try to get there, Pallis has a confused look on her face. I had the courage to talk to him.
"What's wrong with you?
"Uh... where should I go if I can use the four?
"Hey, four??
I shouted out loud in front of a woman. But I had no choice. Because I was really surprised.
In the meantime, when I told one of the examiners she could use four magics, she gave me a totally suspicious look. And after the examiners got together and talked to each other, only Pallis was taken elsewhere.
And the practical exam began. Those who can use more than one magic first fly their best magic at maximum output. Most of the magic runs out there, so the test is done with the flow of taking MP healing pills and outputting the rest of the magic after a while.
I was taking MP recovery pills and resting after I put out my LV2 water barrette with water magic I was good at. That's when I saw an incredible sight.
From Pallis' place, a giant firepillar was rising. That should be a fire magic burst of LV3. It's impossible to manipulate the magic of LV3 at 16. Unexpectedly, I almost dropped the MP healing pill.
The examiner's teachers are also hardened. Without any regard for how those teachers are doing, Pallis...
"Uh... can I shoot some other magic?
"Huh? What about the recovery pills?
"I think it's all right"
That's what I say. One magic after another. And all of that is more than LV2! Water magic was even faster and more powerful than my water barrette. Probably LV3. Examiner panicked, too. I guess so. I can use the magic of LV3 at 16. I honestly couldn't believe it, either.
Pallis, who had been surrounded by exam officer teachers for some time, was taken somewhere. I'm sure you have a lot of skills that I can't match. But I know only one thing. [M] She has passed Imperial University. I only found that out for sure.
Honestly, I thought it was subtle if I was passing Imperial University. But you can say that if you don't pass, you'll hardly ever get to see her. If you fail, I must return to Clarifon territory. If you do, you'll be able to come to Imperial Capital about once a month when you're in the social world. But the Empire is far from Clarifon, so you'll only be able to come about once every February or March. Then you can say you don't have a chance to see her.
For the first time, I went to church of my own free will. Until now, I've been going by as a half-compulsory, but only this time I wanted to go to church. And I sincerely prayed to the Lord God, Lady Crimeana, to let me pass the Imperial University.
Did prayer make sense, I was passing. For the first time in my life I was happy and cried.
As soon as I got into school, Pallis could find it. That's the color of my hair. We'll find out soon enough. And even with its beauty...
As a privileged student, she was to study in the same classroom as our noble brother. Boys students are pretending to be calm so far, but I knew perfectly well that they were all aware of Pallis.
Surprisingly, she was a woman in the body of that emerging nobleman, the Marquis of Birtham. Speaking of the Bertham family, it is a prestigious house that serves as the prime minister of the kingdom of Juka, which has long been hostile to the Empire. After the kingdom of Juka was exterminated by the Great Demon King, he has exiled to the Empire. Although the current Lord is with his adopted son, he is married to His Majesty's sister, Empress Ricolet, who has given him the position of Marquis Emeritus of the Empire, but a family member with a deep connection to the Imperial Family.
Naturally, for us aristocrats, Pallis is a good marriage partner. Anyway, I can connect with the Birtham family. That means you can connect with the Imperial Imperial family.
But Pallis soon began to isolate herself in her class. Because our lifestyles are completely different from ours, our behavior patterns are different.
Meals, for example. Basically, we eat at a salon in college. It is a room available only to the noble children, where they also serve to make various connections for when they inherit the house.
But Pallis doesn't eat there. I always sit on my college lawn or eat in the library. Most surprisingly, Pallis is making that meal. Making a meal is not something that the nobleman would do by virtue of being a samurai or a slave. So much so that some female students mocked her for that. But every woman in the Birtherm family says they make meals, and that Empress Ricolette says they make meals for everyone.
I became more and more interested in Pallis.
At one point, Pallis was rarely alone in the classroom. Writing something down all at once. It bothered me a little, but I decided to talk to her out of the blue.
"Oh, uh, aren't you going home?
"Huh? Oh, excuse me..."
"Oh, I think I'm interrupting something."
"Oh, no, I was just thinking about the dinner menu and it was late"
"Dinner menu... what kind of stuff?
"I'm trying to make a gratin, but I was wondering if I could improve the taste of the sauce a little more..."
"The taste of the sauce, is it?
"Cooking is interesting. Because if you add or subtract one salt, it tastes completely different."
"That's amazing"
"No, that's not true. Yo. Because the dishes that Mr. Linos makes are even better."
"Huh? Will the Marquis Emeritus of Birtham also be cooking meals?
"Sometimes. But it's delicious."
"Heh... I'd love to try it too."
"So next time, shall I bring you something?
"What!? Is that okay?
"It doesn't matter, does it?
"Oh, uh, my name is Clarifon Saeli Tully"
"I'm Pallis. Sure, you're the one who guided me during the magic exam, right?
"Did you remember me?
"Of course."
Thus, me and Pallis are friends (?). Besides, he said he'd make something for me. This must be the blessing of Master Crimeana. Next time I have to go to the church in Imperial City and pray.
I'm so excited about my college life.
