The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

Lucas pointing at the sword of evidence, Irene pointed her cat-like eyes into a circle and pointed to the sword.

"I won't do that horrible thing! I mean, this is not my sword! Indeed, I sneaked around last night replacing Elma's obscure sword with a sword that crushed the blade... the work I did on that sword was to shake it so that fake blood burst out!

"What a theatrical sword!

"I mean, it looks like I got hurt, so I thought I could give up! His Highness was in the 'Lower your might and fight mediocre' style, but I was in the 'Let's give up' style."

However, even the blade knife was so shocked that if the sword that crushed the blade was used as it was, I wondered how guilty I had suffered... Lucas stopped Irene, who was once again in a negative loop, with a serious voice.

"... wait. Does that mean that Elma's Caliburnus was first replaced by a sword of blood by you, and from there, by a mysterious person, by this ancient sword with numbness medicine, and I was replacing it with a razor blade...?

It's confusing!

Irene, who had broken her finger, slammed her hands into her head.

However, as time went by and the meaning drifted into her brain, she gradually made her face stronger.

"I mean...."

Irene stares at a strange sword in horror.

Then he looked up at Lucas in horror.

"Apart from us, there is someone who has prepared a numbness medicine..."

"Is there someone who really tried to hurt Elma...?

The academy was quiet the night after the final day of the chalice.

This is because the cadets who could not become saints and swordsmen have left the academy and are each returning home or participating in town festivals to drink.

The only remaining students in the dormitory are the sacred magician cadets who will arrive tomorrow.

Many of them were occupied with meditation and workouts in their rooms, but the only one - Raul Pavarini - had a solemn look and was heading to the east house on the outskirts of the academy.

Because there was a man waiting for him as his mentor.

"Mr. Goode. Thank you for your patience."

"... no"

Guid, who was lying on one of the pillars and watching the night sky, rose quietly, and then looked at Raul with an unusual look on his face.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you without Chloe or Gino."

"They are no longer laid down as saints or swordsmen. I'm pulling into the celebration by now."

Raul stepped into the east house and replied indifferently.

Then he stared straight at the glide and added with a voice full of confidence.

"But I'll catch up with you tomorrow. The three of us have been together ever since."

"... as long as it's reliable."

Goode laughs low.

Then he took Raul's gaze from the front with a serious look on his face.

"Raul Pavarini. After that, if you become a holy magician, three of my students will consolidate the Trinity. The Holy Strength of Ruden's cadets is still untouchable, but it should not be your enemy, said to be the greatest holder of Holy Strength of our time. I'm counting on you."

"... did you just call me to live?

When Raul asked, Goode raised one eyebrow.

"The sacred magician's task is under the jurisdiction of Lord Chelsea, but what I've heard..."

No, thanks.

Raul briefly blocked the guid that had spoken to him about the task.

"I aim to be a trinitate, I'm sorry to teach you, but not to contribute to the power struggle between Cardinals. Without any help, I will try to get a position alongside Gino and the others with my strength."

A polite tone, but the words are powerful.

Behind the cold and tidy beauty, there was indeed a boyish sense of pride and justice.

Raul grabbed his fist quietly and told Goode.

"The more trinity you get, the more say you can even override the Pope's decision.... I would like to correct Aurelia's society, which discriminates against people based on their identity and origin, while maintaining equality. And to do that, even if you're a teacher, you can't use the help of a cardinal."

Unlike Chloe and Gino, Raul also understands that he is being asked to represent the cardinals in their power struggle.

Still, we're aiming for trinitate.

For one thing, even if it is like the "grain crushing" of the three noble men, it is because of the juvenile ambition to acquire great power.

And beyond that - to stand alongside his proud friends like Gino and Chloe.

Chloe lived with a pure heart, even as a concubine's son.

Gino has kept her heart clean and honest, even though she despises her origins.

And as he touched them straight, so did Raul.

Like them, I want to.

A trio of nobles who can only act as a spare for their brothers, if they can make use of this identity at all.

I would like to exert the power of Trinity in court and remove any distress that afflicts my friends.

That was Raul's first strong will to live without purpose.

"Doctor, I am deeply grateful to you for offering me the possibility of trinitate. Rather than shaking the tail of a great power like Cardinal Celso, the teacher's idea of preserving Aurelia's dignity in his own country is well understood as the end of the country's nobility. But - I want to fight for my friends, not for your power."

The blue eyes of the lake sway like fire.

Guyd was staring at it for a while, but eventually quietly,

I see.

and closed the conversation with a murmur.

I lowered my head silently and saw Raul off.

Then Goode looked up at the starry sky again.

"----I really don't want to protect Aurelia's dignity."

He narrows his eyes as if there were someone dear somewhere in the stars in the blink of an eye.

Eventually, he distorted his mouth in the form of self-ridicule.

"Raul Pavarini... you're the only one fighting for a friend...?

It was a bitter voice.
