Four days after Est was discovered to be a semi-spirit, we finally made it to the king's capital. It seems that even the Shurth Dragons, who are proud of their handsome feet, take more than 10 days to travel this journey in a regular carriage. Considering that I can shorten my itinerary in half, I can peek at its fullness.

When I heard a rather shocking story about myself being a semi-spirit, Est never wandered off in particular. Somehow, Est has something thin to say about herself because she was a former slave. Maybe that's okay as a squire, but I wonder if that's okay given Est's own happiness.

Well, I just thought about that now and I can't conclude, and it's also true that I'm going to need Est's help while I'm in college, so I'm not going to let it go or planning on doing it.

Speaking of ests, I showed Alit the black crystals I removed from the ests and she said, "GAAAAAAAAH!!!!" What a terrible scream and ran away. I came back after [Dream Storage], but apparently this black crystal is already a curse.

"The magic that has become a curse is the only thing the Spirit can't do. Magic that can no longer return to nature or become an exorcism. It just exists and it keeps hurting my surroundings. That's just gonna have to be sealed...... If you have a world, it's like you can't have it outside, and keep it there forever. Never let greed touch you!

That's all Alit explained to me when I asked for a detailed explanation. The curse was not in my [magic], and I wondered if it existed in this world, but it seemed to exist firmly. When I started going to college, I was going to do a thorough research, but I think I should stop doing that.

"It was an easy trip. To the Spirit of the Journey, thank you at your finest."

"Wahaha! It's not going anywhere!

We were waiting in order at the Noble Gate in Wangdu to drop Alit off. Hans is giving the finest thanks for holding Alit's hands and forehead. For Hans, whose main position was yours, I guess the Spirit of the Journey is the same person who reveres him as God.

Alit says there's no such thing as a traveling spirit.

It seems that the Spirits are constantly moving around this world, carrying out the task of converting magic powers into magic vegetables. When magic or magic is used, a mass of magic power is created in the atmosphere, and when you leave it alone, you breathe in more and more of the surrounding magic vegetables.

The spirits are touring the world to find such magic, but the stinking spirits, including Alit, are accompanying people on their journey? Because it's troublesome when the people accompanying you along the way are attacked by demons and burglars, and they're letting you avoid the danger, you can't seem to be mistaken that when the spirits of the journey are arriving, you can make a safe journey.

"Are you guys in school after this? I'm used to studying like that."

"It seems to be an obligation. I can't help it. If it's boring, I'm gonna make it interesting."

"Ho ho."

Me and Alit look at each other in a meaningful way, with a niggling and bad grin. I was talking to Alit, and I came up with another interesting demon prop idea.

"Hmm, what about Alit?

"I don't know what to do."

"Anyway, you're gonna sneak into some carriage again and devour sweets, right?

"Excuse me! I'm doing my job!

Indeed, not only did Alit talk to us and eat sweets, but she also went somewhere to work about once every two days. Perhaps he could have bought magic into a magic vegetable, just like he showed us that day.

"It's a joke. See you later, Alit."

"Yeah, I'll see you around. Immediately."

"Huh?"

"Hmm! Bye!

Alit left behind a meaningful word and flew away. Alit has a job, and he said there are other spirits in the king's capital, so Alit shouldn't stay in this king's capital for long...?

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, let's come."

Finish checking your luggage and ID before entering Wangdu. There is only the king's capital on the boulder, and its vitality is not beaten by Motoshi or Sekitugu. In other words, the interior of the wall gate is full of life to the extent that stalls and outdoor shops line up outside as well.

The castle of White Asia is built a step higher than the city and a step higher than it. Its enormous architecture, in a position that overlooks the city, is both the place where the royalty lives and an important institution responsible for the politics of this country.

When I switch to [Magic Vision] and look at the castle, I can see that it is obviously covered in enormous magic, even though it is from a distance. Seth taught me that the College and the Royal Castle are stretched with huge ties to protect themselves from external enemies. That was created jointly by the first twelve wise men who crusaded the Demon King and the Founding King, and they are now stretched out by an unrepeatable demonic prop.

"Hey, you made it."

"Thank you for inviting me, Lord Iglesio White."

"Ha, it's quick and bad, but tomorrow, I think I'm going to have you take a class splitting exam. Do you mind?

"Yeah, no problem."

It's been a long time since I've seen Seth and said hello to the lady because of her apartment in Wang Capital, Seth tells me what she plans to do in the future. Apparently I don't have time to take a break, but I'm not that tired this time, so no problem. Let's just say I can tell Hans to take a day off and take Est and Urania to the exam tomorrow.

It's called an exam, but it's simply meant to measure strength. It's compulsory enrollment in the first place, so it doesn't mean it falls. However, it seems that few attempts to enter school under false pretences that magic can be used are necessary measures.

Is Urania good? Few wizards can use it without aids, like me, Adan, or Seth. Ulania's Grimoire is similar to that, as some people may reinforce their image with canes and books. Besides, I've already made that Grimoire unusable except for Urania, and it's been upgraded a lot.

I thought it was cheating? You don't have to find out!
