Chapter 33 – Alfred-Berg-Leuville
 
At the end of the straight path ahead. As I stepped into the light, the surroundings were wrapped in cheers from students and outside guests.
 
Of course, those cheers weren’t directed at me. The one receiving the expectations and passion of the people was naturally — The First Prince of the Leuville Kingdom, Leor-Berg-Leuville.
 

 
“Brother Leo…”
 

 
Standing proudly without a hint of cloudiness, as if to say he blocked my path as the challenger.
 

 
“Do your best Lord Leor!”
 
“Blast that guy away!”
 
“We’re expecting great … Read the rest

Chapter 32 – Even if the Light Burns my Body
 
“Is the old man really coming to watch after all?”
 

 
The day of the special match arrived.
 
The venue for the special match is the arena within the academy grounds. The spectator stands are already filled to capacity with students and people from outside waiting for the match to begin.
 
Originally, these special matches are held twice a year, once per semester.
 
This match is the one for the first semester, and has a strong meaning kind of like a welcome party to boost … Read the rest

Episode 31 Time Underground

Leaving the training grounds, my footsteps were a bit rough. I didn’t even feel like putting on the clothes hanging over my shoulder, with only irritation smoking in my head.

“Damn useless stuff…”

The words I spat out without addressing anyone were meant for both Dold and Filga, but the irritation itself was also directed at myself.

That Charl could only be verbally abused is partially my responsibility.

No matter what was said, enduring was the only option because reacting would be disadvantageous for me. That’s because I don’t have the power. I don’t have the … Read the rest

Chapter 30: Disappointment

A miserable defeat.

That word was fitting for his son’s state, and it was clear to every knight present that he had been thoroughly beaten down.
Alfred, who had picked up his discarded clothes and was about to leave the training grounds, walked right up to Grashian Gwenael, the Royal Knights Commander.

“Sorry about that. Selfishly asking to join the training all of a sudden.”

“No, I am also at fault for being unable to stop my son.”

After finishing their meeting, Grashian had suggested Alfred observe the knights training.
It was to actually see the state … Read the rest

Chapter 29: A Warning

The Magic Engineering Research Institute.
It is an organization that literally supports the Leuville Kingdom by researching and developing magic engineering. The recent development of the Leuville Kingdom is also greatly due to the power of this Magic Engineering Research Institute.

Filga’s mother holds the position of director of the research institute, and his older sister also works hard day and night as a researcher for the development of the kingdom. Of course, Filga was also expected to have a future as a researcher, but unfortunately, he did not have that talent.

He was more suited … Read the rest

Chapter 28 – Training Ground

“—-Hmph…!”

I swing my sword. The blade cuts through the air. The feeling of the grip in my hand is familiar, even though my living environment has changed, the feel of my beloved wooden sword has not changed.

“……Still not good enough, is it?”

The image of Alfred fighting the [Fragments] surfaces in Charlotte’s mind.
My own body’s motions are completely unable to keep up.
Even after leaving the academy dormitory to live in the royal palace, I have continued my sword training without fail. Up until now, I had only blindly traced the [forms] … Read the rest

Chapter 27 – Meeting [Revised]

“…Good.”

Confirm that the items prepared beforehand are at hand. It’s almost time, so I should get moving.

“Al-kun, where are you headed?”

“I have a meeting with Grashian now.”

“The Knight Commander?”

“It’s part of my networking efforts, Lady Charl. So far, in this short time, I’ve gathered quite the connections with Duke Mersenne, Miss Elinne, Mr Eval, etc… But I still need one more big push.”

“A meeting for that decisive push.”

Based on the previous incident with the [Fragment], I suspect impressions within parts of the Knights and from Grashian have improved. … Read the rest

Chapter 26 – Putting Feelings into Words (Revised)

“The decisive match is only a few days away now…”

Makina had an uncharacteristically distant look as she gazed at the rain falling outside the window.

“What’s up? It’s rare to see you with such a gloomy expression.”

“I was making preparations to escape at night just in case, but it’s proving to be so troublesome. I wonder if I’ll make it in time…”

Escape at night, huh. Indeed, if I lose to Leo-nii, there’s no telling how Makina and the others from [Shadow] will be treated.

“Well, it doesn’t hurt to … Read the rest

Chapter 25 – The Four at Magic Academy

The prestigious Royal Magic Academy.

A school of magical learning where young boys and girls attend, a venerable cradle for fledglings.

It was established and expanded with a massive budget, the pinnacle magic academy the Leuville Kingdom took pride in.

On one of the facilities, the café terrace seats—though in principle available to any student, currently it had become an inviolable territory none dared approach.

There were no barriers in place. The academy hadn’t forbidden use of it.

In fact, four students sat there now. In short, the reason other students didn’t … Read the rest

Chapter 24 – The Second Generation’s Story

“Charlotte, this is your first time meeting this idiot disciple Evarl, right?”

“Yes, it’s my first time meeting the royal workshop’s boss directly.”

“Now you see why. This is the kind of guy he is.”

Making an appointment with the Third Prince yet skipping it for a date with a girl.

That’s the kind of guy he is. No wonder we couldn’t meet. He’s flighty like this all the time.

“I never expected Teacher to come back… Prince Alfred, what magic did you use?”

“My subordinates found the location, Charlotte persuaded her.”

“I … Read the rest
