Five years have passed since Rio joined the Royal College.

Rio, who is twelve years old, is a sixth grader in elementary school.

Bullying of Rio, which began shortly after enrollment, is still ongoing.

In addition, as the school year went up, the viciousness of cursing gossip was also on the way to escalation.

It is one of the greatest fallouts in the history of the College, where not a single surgical contract has been successful.

Ugh, he's wrongfully completed only excellent paper-testing grades.

Ugh, I did mundane things by threatening a girl student.

Damn, I threatened my junior to take the money.

Everything is factually rootless and there is no evidence of that, except that none of these have been successful surgical contracts.

However, the College has left the rumors unaccounted for without even imitating them.

It was something that Rio could not know about its sincerity, but it did not matter.

So Rio also leaves without any imitation to deny the rumors.

I have no intention of doing so in person.

As a result, only rumors walked alone and Rio was recognized among students as one of the leading problematic children in Royal College history.

By the way, elective lectures increase in both elementary and senior grades.

As many of the noble children chose to lecture on the didactic aspect, Rio had preferred lectures that satisfied his own intellectual desires.

"Well, let's start the magic theory roundup. As many of you know, I'm supposed to have this lecture starting this year. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a common perception among students that magic works, but you can think everyone's into magic theory,

An overview of magic theory, one of the lectures chosen by Rio, the lecturer in charge is Celia.

She turned seventeen, but her growth in terms of appearance had stopped at the junior high level.

The Magic Theory Overview is a subject that is distant from what is supposedly not very practical on top of the small difficulties, but the students are quite there to take her lecture called Genius.

By the way, it is adorable to have some male students who take lectures in love with her appearance.

Thirty people are in the classroom right now, including Rio.

Among them are Christina and Roana, and one younger grade, Flora.

"What is magic in the first place this time, and what process does magic activate? I want to learn about that. Well, then, can I ask you an image we all have of magic? Right, Princess Christina. What do you say?

"Yes, magic is a technique that interferes with the laws of the world and causes various events."

and Christina paled out her own view.

"Oh, I could hear a very good answer from the start. That's right, Your Highness."

Listening to Celia's praise, she sent Christina a look of respect with the look on her face just saying that the students around her were also boulders.

"Magic is defined in many ways. What Princess Christina is saying now is a definition that focuses on the essence and effect of magic. Magic is a technique that interferes with the world and causes various events. It's also written by Deala, the famous archdeacon."

The students listen to Celia's words with interest.

"Now, there are other well-known definitions that focus on the magic activation process. Then I wonder if you could tell me what we all know about the magic activation process. Right, Mr. Scott."

A student called Scott, pointing to Celia, stands up confident.

"Yes, magic is activated by contracting with a surgical ceremony to cast a spell"

"Mm-hmm. Then the lower prep and activation processes are messed up. Yes, then, next, Mr. Roana."

Knowing that his own remarks were not correct, the boy called Scott took his seat with regret.

And the next nominated Roana takes a seat.

"Yes, to a large extent, I understand that it is made up of these three things: the image of the contracted ceremony, the release of magic, the chanting of spells."

And Roana answered without precipitation.

"That's Roana. The magic activation process consists of three processes, as we have just been told. But there is one important thing that supports those three things. What do you think that is?

"It's... I don't know"

Something I don't understand is regrettable.

With that look, Roana distorted her mouth.

"Right, so what about Rio?

It's magic control.

"Correct. A boulder."

I heard a small tongue pounding in my class.

His Lord was a descendant of a superior nobleman.

Rio found out that Roana didn't know.

That doesn't seem to bother me.

Hearing that sound and sighing inside, Celia decided to continue her lecture.

"Out of the question, it's not noticed, but magic control is a magic liver. Using a contracted procedure, when everyone casts a spell, the magic activates, right? It's because we're all unconsciously controlling magic."

Everyone in the classroom except Rio seemed to be the first to hear, and each looks interesting.

"The magic activation process isn't the only thing that matters about magic control. Magic control is necessary even during the magic mastery phase. How do you know there's a formula that people can contract with and a formula that they can't? Because magic control has a lot to do with it."

I was listening to Celia so that all the students in the classroom could eat in.

"Doctor!"

There was one boy who broke the silence in that, and he raised his hand out loud.

"Yes, Mr. Stiard"

Celia raises her hand to nominate the student, Stiard.

"I mean, can you understand that those who can't have a surgical contract are poorly controlled by magic?

Stiard looks at Rio and laughs at Niyaniya.

The same applies to the majority of other students.

Rio was looking cool and listening forward.

Celia, meanwhile, has a slight look on her face.

"... that's what happens when you put it in extreme ways. But it's a little out of line."

"Excuse me. I'll be careful. Thank you."

While Celia notes, Stiard sits satisfied.

"Well, I'll resume my lecture. In the first place…"

Thereafter, with no particular problems, Celia's lecture went well and happened to meet the end time of the lecture.

"That's Dr. Celia! You're just sometimes called a genius who keeps his name in the history of the Royal College. I was impressed by the teacher's insight!

Stiard walked over to Celia like he was impressed when the lecture was over.

Stiard is a student of one of Rio's lower grades, the son of a certain Duke family.

"Haha. Thank you very much."

Celia gives thanks as she laughs bitterly.

In the meantime, Rio was just trying to sort out his teaching materials and walk away from the classroom.

"Ah, Rio."

Celia calls out to Rio when she sees it.

"Hey, subordinate. Why are you taking this lecture when magic can't be used in a busy way, and only the dexterity of your mouth and your little fingertips is the lowly foolishness of the sale? When a despicable man like you is in this classroom, it may be dangerous for the women in this room."

but voiced as Stiard cracked in there.

Stiard walks out in front of Rio as he stands between Celia and Rio.

"I don't know which, but that's because I chose this lecture."

Rio decided to handle the trouble with this hand as pale as usual because it is a daily tea meal.

"Hmm, well, even when a lower bitch civilian like you remembers my face, I run scared. I'll give you some advice because you seem to be mistaken."

"What is it?

"Ha. If you ask, you'll work smart, bad wisdom, too, right? He was granted admission to the honorable Royal College with that humble skill, but don't get me wrong, okay? Lower people are only lower people, don't be too foolish. It's unpleasant."

I guess some of the students who tongued earlier in the lecture included this boy, and Rio got a hit.

"Are you to the left? Now let's try not to stand out in this lecture in the future"

"Hmm? Ha, what are you talking about? I'm telling you not to come to this lecture in the future, I..."

Shin, and the inside of the classroom calms down.

The surrounding students watched Rio with cold eyes.

In it, Christina looked like she was out of my way, Flora looked softly, Roana looked grumpy and listened to the conversation between Rio and the others.

"I have heard that some female students have been tricked and harmed by you. I can't overlook your presence like this."

status, lineage, honor, and income.

All are the conditions of marriage that the noble girls will pursue in the future.

Because noble girls are obliged from birth to marry better opponents.

However, when it comes to around twelve years of age, it is just the age at which people begin to be interested in the opposite sex.

At this age, it would be true that many children are simply more interested in the opposite sex of superior appearance than in such immaterial conditions.

Nor did the aristocratic girls leak into the example.

Although Rio still leaves a boyish ambivalence, his native neutral appearance is getting polished year after year.

In addition, rare dark hair created an exotic atmosphere in this country.

Because of this, there were often aristocratic courtiers appearing who gave Rio a little glimpse with a sense of fire play.

Rio has slept all those warrants each time.

Students who don't care about it are spreading rumors about Rio without roots or leaves.

Stiard, who is impeaching Rio, is the mouth who believes in such rumors without foundation.

I believe Rio is the enemy of women and I don't doubt it.

Well, even if there are no rumors, you don't care about Rio.

"Here, Mr. Stiard, don't impeach people without proof that you're noble."

Celia enters the arbitration, who sees no such thing.

"But..."

Stiard still eats down to Celia's appearance.

"Even if Rio is a boy like that, I won't let him do that in this classroom while my eyes are black as an instructor"

And I said it out loud.

Stiard reluctantly pulls back with these words.

"... if that's what you're going to say.... Remember, subordinates. If you do anything, you will turn my home, the Duke of Jugneau, against the enemy."

"Let's Remember"

When he said that, he thanked Celia and Rio walked away from the spot.

Celia is the only one I know who signaled him to come to the lab after school when he left and Rio laughed bitterly.

After school, Rio was coming to Celia's lab.

"Damn, they'll hate you the same way."

"I'm used to it."

Mouth the tea with a bitter smile.

Even so, it was Rio who made the tea.

Celia said Rio would taste better brewed, and this is how Rio brews tea when we meet in Celia's lab.

"I've also been a little bullied by jealousy from around me, but Rio's is more than that. Well, it sounds like some female students admire you in the shadows even as they say something?

Hiraki, and looking at Rio's reaction, Celia says.

"Because I'm not interested."

Celia sighs at that Park Min-Jen.

"This is your chance to do the opposite?

"It won't. Assuming I dated like that, there's no way my parents would let me."

Only Rio makes sober decisions.

Celia thought you weren't really interested because of how it went.

"Well, hey..."

With a vague nod, Celia wondered why Rio was so far Park Min-Jen.

Interest in heterosexuality shouldn't be so easy to cut off when you're about Rio.

Yet this man chops it all up.

(Could there be a fate...?

Celia goes to one possibility.

But I don't know such a person.

Rio doesn't even have any friends in the college in the first place.

I'm the only one who talks to you.

Yes, Rio has no one to talk to but Celia.

That goes for Celia herself, but the story was put up on the shelf.

Apart from his college lectures, meals, and sleeping hours, Rio has only either been in the library or practicing voluntarily outside.

I'm alone whenever I see you.

There is nothing but a woman's shadow.

It is a good memory for Celia to get along with Rio as she calls out from Celia each time she sees it.

So I didn't think Rio had a destiny.

Celia has ruled out that possibility.

(Or blunt in people's favors? This could be enough. I just don't think so.)

When Celia shifted her gaze in front of her, Rio was drinking tea with graceful tricks like a nobleman.

Honestly, it's as hateful as it gets.

(There are only a few left to see this. What will you do when you graduate? I don't know because this guy doesn't talk about himself at all. Damn, talk a little bit, right? I was wondering.)

Concerned about Rio's future, Celia decided to wave the topic to herself thoughtfully.

"And is Rio graduating in another year? Have you decided what to do after graduation?

"Right. So far I'm going to be in this country for a while, but I'm thinking about going on a journey in the not-too-distant future"

"What!? Are you going to be gone from this country?

Celia is stunned by Rio's words.

I didn't think you were leaving the country.

Because of his excellent martial arts grades, he wondered whether he would be a knight or a soldier.

Well, it's hard for me to stay in this country.

"... hey, don't you want to work in my lab? I can't live without Rio anymore."

And, looking inside the lab, Celia says.

It's been five years since I met Rio.

Initially, it was too much for Rio's eyes to scatter in Celia's lab.

But as he came to this lab after several calls, Rio voluntarily offered to clean up.

As a result, Celia learns that Rio's chore skills are high enough to round her eyes.

Now not only do I get help organizing my room, but I also get help from tea making to some of the research as mentioned earlier.

"Dr. Celia is also a good old man, so there's talk of marriage, isn't there? And it's not good to have a civilian man in the lab who doesn't know how to handle it."

Celia gives a shit when she hears the word marriage.

"I'm not getting married for the time being. My parents are loud, but I refuse to discuss all the research with my shield."

"I think the time of marriage is Dr. Celia's freedom, okay...... the...... during the marriageable age"

Rio himself did not think so, but it was a well-known fact that the aristocratic marriageable age period ranged from mid- to late teens.

When that happens, Celia is already entering the marriageable age.

Nevertheless, if you are a woman of remarkable merit or a very noble status, like Celia, it may not be so difficult to find someone to marry beyond the age of twenty.

"Ah! You think you're going to be behind! I wonder what the idea is of the men of this country who will be behind when they are over twenty..."

But Celia seemed pretty concerned about the topic of her marriageable age.

"Well, I personally think the marriageable age for aristocratic women is too early. Dr. Celia is seventeen years old forever."

"The Eternal Seventeen...... What, that doesn't sound good"

Smiling at how bumpy Celia is, Rio looks at the empty tea pods and gets ready to brew new tea.

I know Celia's taste.

Rio is proud to say that he can work for the deacon class when it comes to tea because he has been dating Celia for years, who is annoyed with tea.

It will satisfy any aristocratic lady.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for outdoor exercises, isn't it? Was the boy forced to join? How long does that walk?

Soon Celia came back to reality from her world and called out to Rio.

"They say it's a total of twenty kilometers."

"Ugh. I can't. I can't walk that much. It's hard to get to school from here."

Celia slammed onto her desk, not to mention saying that she had just imagined it and got laid.

Long, beautiful white hair spread to cover the desk.

"I think you should exercise a little too, Dr. Celia."

And, as frightened but worried about Celia, Rio said.

Besides lectures, Celia doesn't go out of the lab.

I wonder how many senior aristocratic ladies this low amount of exercise has a problem as a human being.

"Yes, yes. It's okay because there's a carriage to get around. That kind of thing."

When he grinned at a typical drawstring remark, Rio offered Celia her favorite tea.
