Meeting the Dean of the Academy has been since the day before enrollment.
I beg your pardon, but Almark pulled a heavy door, and when he entered the College Director's Office, Yologue was in the middle of an administrative job, looking through some paperwork. Lift your eyes properly and look at Almark, then immediately drop your eyes again on the paperwork.
"Oh, you're here, Almark."
Run the pen exposed to the paperwork as I say.
"... I don't know, the life of the college"
"Yes, every day, very fresh"
"Right. That's more than anything."
Yolog is still moving his hands busily with no eyes on Almark.
"I'm listening. I hear you had a lot going on."
"Yes."
Almark snorts with a bitter laugh.
"I'm getting reports from teachers, too."
Almark was a little nervous, though not harsh on the tone of the yolog. I wonder what the hell kind of reports are being made.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to hear it from you. What happened at this academy and what you thought about it"
"... ok"
Almark told Eurolog what he had done so far. About the class, the class, the teacher. About magic, about the magical failure of lights and about the special training of meditation. Wendy's tears and the torque thing. And today in martial arts class. Speak them concisely as you exchange what you think sometimes.
Yolog was listening without pinching his mouth as he nodded from time to time or fluttered laughter.
When I finished listening, I see, Yologue put down his pen for the first time and looked at Almark.
Sounds like you're having a meaningful time.
"Yes."
Almark nodded.
"The magic at heart is a tease."
"About it, Dr. Illmis..."
"Don't tell me."
"Uhm."
Yolog nodded.
"Take his word for it. Time to learn and think about magic. And time spent with my people. Both are the time you need to stand as one mage. [M] Don't neglect me."
"Yes."
Are you all right?
"Nothing"
"That's a different way to work out. I was surprised when I suddenly used the dragon flame that year and walked home in the middle of the day"
"Dr. Illmis and Dr. Celia helped me with that, too. For the past ten days, I've been helped by everyone. Even to Wendy and Morgen. I couldn't do anything by myself."
"Um, that feeling goes to witchcraft. Never forget it. By the way..."
Yolog turned the subject around.
"Do you have enough money?"
"Ah, yes. Because there's no use for it."
The school provides free clothing and accommodation, i.e. uniform robes and clothing, daily meals and dorm rooms, but otherwise provides students with a small amount of money each month to buy daily items and preferences. They all do it and buy sweets and stuff in the city on holidays, but apart from that, some of them have quite a send-off from their wealthy parents.
"Right. My father has asked me a great deal about you. Don't hesitate to say anything."
"Yes."
Almark was increasingly wondering why the Dean of the College had called him.
"Uh, what can I do for you today..."
Then Eurolog smiled and said, "I'm done."
Tell Almark, who will be Kyoton, to leave now.
Wendy and the worried faces greeted Almark, who left the Dean's office without knowing what it was. If you ask, when Almark told Bowen to go to the Dean's office, Morgen, who happened to be nearby, heard the word, told everyone about it, and then Almark really went to the Dean's office, so there was a tail on the story, and even more speculation because Almark remained in the Dean's office for a long time, and apparently Almark would get some sort of disposition from the Dean, and if he was bad, he might leave school, so the conversation went on.
Almark laughed bitterly and told him that there was no disposition, as well as thanking his companions who were so worried about him.
These kinds of goodwill without a profit and loss account are rarely seen by northern humans. Words are bad, but northern humans would identify this kind of goodwill with "stupidity" or "weakness".
But he has been helped to this day by this goodwill. It has been accepted thanks to this goodwill. And today. I could at least repay that favor. in his own way, born in the North.
Great, watching Wendy and Morgen stroking down her chest, Almark felt he was finally part of this class, too.
