It took me plenty of three weeks to get back to the Imperial City because I spent a lot of time sloppily staying in various cities on the road.

Teito, a large city with a population of two million.

Due to the prolonged recession, the vitality is slightly less than before, but it still remains the same that the imperial capital is at the heart of the continental economy.

We arrived early in the morning, so countless fishmongers and cooks were hissing when it took a walk through the market.

I think it might not be a bad idea to open a restaurant or something in Teito.

I have plenty of savings when I was a member of the Sacred Knights, and I don't seem to have any trouble funding the opening of the store.

I am still the servant of the noble mansion.

I used to learn to cook under the mansion's leading cook.

But although I do have confidence in culinary skills, isn't it enough to compete with a full-time cook in Imperial Capital?

In the end, I get stuck with the issues of "halfway through" and "instrumental poverty".

Anyway, I have to do some essential business first.

The destination is Imperial School of Magic.

It's the school we graduated from.

It's Professor Lucy from that school I'm meeting.

The professor is our mentor.

And for the Knights of St. Sophia, he was one of the important collaborators.

The professor said make sure you show your face when you get back to Imperial City.

The School of Magic is located in the eastern district of Teito. I looked up at the clock tower with the blue sky on my back.

The school clock tower boasted the height of a finger fold among the Empires.

I stopped only for a moment, not feeling nostalgic.

When I was here, Sophia and Cleon were my friends.

I came in front of the room where Professor Lucy is.

"Excuse me."

When I walked into the room, Professor Lucy was sitting deep in what looked like an expensive brown chair.

"Well done, Solon. What's wrong with you suddenly returning to Empire City?

She said quietly, then stared at me with burning crimson eyes.

Professor Lucy is only a woman in her late 20s.

He jumped through and earned a professor position at Imperial School of Magic at a young age with excellent grades and research.

A centennial genius, or a return to the legendary Great Wizard, is an essential word for praising her.

But I'm familiar with other aspects of her.

I didn't say anything and stood still.

She lifted up her beautiful red, long hair and said.

"What's going on? Could it have been me?

"Just a little."

And to be honest with you, Professor Lucy laughed.

"Isn't that right? 'Cause I'm a beauty!

"If you don't say that, I think they'll say you're beautiful, too,"

"You admit you look beautiful, don't you?

'Cause that's true.'

I said pale.

Impressive red hair, red eyes, white skin that is clear to it, slightly younger look but with a positive face.

The loose robes worn by the magic school faculty look just as good.

Normally it's a black faculty robe, but only Lucy's is special and bright crimson, which also makes her presence stand out once and for all.

Everyone in my classmate's guy treated her like an idol, but I feel like I know.

"Once upon a time, when I decided to be your instructor, I was so jealous of my friends around me, wasn't I?

"The teacher is over-conscious."

"So, how was it?

"I'm already jealous. It's a storm of grudges every day."

"Oh."

"It wasn't really a laugh when they tried to duel me."

I made a reluctant face to protest.

Lucy laughed as she creaked with her cheek cane.

"That's good. I have to put up with that kind of trouble. Don't you think you were the luckiest thing to have a beautiful, genius, very sweet teacher like me teach you?

"Well, that's right. I think we were lucky."

"Oh, you're being honest. Though I thought I'd slap you lightly and deny it."

"It's strange because I think I was lucky. Why did Dr. Lucy choose me?

Upon becoming an upper class student in this school, each student is determined by an instructor.

It is up to the students and teachers to choose one another to decide which students will be in charge. Students want teachers who think they understand themselves best and grow up. Teachers will make reference to the wishes of students, to the qualities of the students and to determine their own disciples.

In doing so, natural and talented students will have excellent instructors. Conversely, it means that good instructors only pick apprentices with superior talent.

Then why did Lucy, an extraordinary genius, choose me?

I've always wondered.

Lucy's answer was lucid.

'Cause I thought you had talent.

"I don't have any talent."

"You created the most powerful knighthood in the empire. Great as a magic swordsman too! Isn't that right?

"but they kicked me out"

For a moment, Lucy solidified.

And then I said, "What do you mean?" and asked me a serious question.

I had to explain a series of flows.

I blurred around being cursed by the Artes, but still, it seemed to pass on enough to Lucy.

Lucy dyed her beautiful eyes with worry and sighed deeply.

"Yeah. Too bad."

"I have no choice."

"I had no choice! That's not terrible! Isn't that too unreasonable for your people to betray and kick out the Knights you built for you?

"I'm glad you said that. But it doesn't change that I'm useless to them anymore. I can't change anything. I can't be Cleon, Sophia, Arte, or Dr. Lucy."

Lucy was stunned and annoyed.

After all, Dr. Lucy is the same genius as Sophia and Arte.

Not like me.

Lucy asked me in a small voice like a whisper.

"The sword and magic talent aren't everything. I know you have another power."

"Are you comforting me?

"If Solon wants, I'll give him a hug and stroke his head"

"I forbid it"

When I shrugged my shoulder, Lucy laughed small.

"What are we going to do?

"I'm going to be in Imperial Capital for a while, but I don't have any plans, and I thought I'd look for a job first."

"Yes, you are."

Lucy took a piece of paperwork from her desk drawer, wrote a letter in a pen and gave it to me.

I looked down on it.

"What, this?

"Jobs"

"Jobs?

"It's an order from my master. You will be the governess of Her Royal Highness the Empress Philia."

It didn't immediately come to my mind what Lucy was talking about.

I asked the terrified professor.

"Does the Empress mean His Majesty's son?

"What else do you have? His Royal Highness Prince Philia, the eighteenth Empress of the Empire, was 14 years old. Don't you know that its beauty can be regarded as a poor lily flower, and its brilliance is comparable to that of the ancient sage Conf?

"I've never heard that before."

"He's a great guy, anyway."

"How can I be such a noble tutor?

"Because it is His Royal Highness's hope. Her Royal Highness is honored by his adventurers. Specifically for someone with a strong power to fight alone with swords and magic, like Deputy Solon of the Knights of St. Sophia."

"To?"

"So His Highness himself said he wanted to tutor a magic swordsman like Solon, but not quite anyone His Highness likes. Then I thought there would be a suitable person."

"Well, I'm Solon himself, but why do you admire me, not Sophia or Arte?

"Wouldn't it be better if I spoke to His Highness directly? You're famous. No wonder."

The world thinks I'm a hero. Her Royal Highness is no exception, is that it?

Behind my brain emerged Clarice, who spoke fervently about Solon the Magic Swordsman. Clarice was waving a hot valve saying that Solon was a great person with glittering eyes.

It's a phantom. There is no such fine solon anywhere.

Exiled, just a magic swordsman.

"But..."

I almost said, Lucy put her index finger on my mouth.

"My lovely mentor is introducing you, so do it honestly"

"Whether or not it serves me"

"Oh, I think you're good for teachers."

"How do you know that?

"Because I know you well. You are my proud apprentice."

Lucy smiled softly.

In the end, I took the job.

According to Lucy, Her Royal Highness's tutor will also receive a high ranking position as a samurai.

It is also said that the salary will then be considerable.

Besides, I couldn't refuse Lucy's favor.

After I got out of magic school, I searched for a place to stay, left my stuff, and got myself ready.

We're going to the Imperial Palace next week.
