The magic school, the third schoolyard.
　I was teaching a class of students there, which was used for practice.

　I was only nine years old in body, while the 300 or so students were on the verge of graduation at age 18.
　The age difference was twice as great, but they were all listening intently to the class.

　I was slowly releasing my magic power from my fingertips like cigarette smoke.

As you can see, the magic power I'm emitting now is thicker or weaker in places. This is my magic cycle. This is my magic cycle, and the rhythm is constant, right?

　Tell them that the shades of magic are repeating in the same cycle, and then use magic.
　Rudimentary magic, fireball. Simple fire magic, not even the red magic ball.

　The same magic is used when the magic is dense and when it is thinnest, and you shoot at the decoy at a distance.

　A fireball that struck the decoy.
　The power of the fireball - the thickness of the rolled-up pillar of fire was clearly directly proportional to the shade of magic power.

"If you keep track of your magic cycle like this and always use it at its peak, you'll be able to perform close to your limits.


　The students were shouting in unison and were impressed.

This is a control method called the Mupapato method. Now you can feel the magic wave inside you.

　When I said that, the students honestly began to do what they were told.

　The Philosopher's Stone.
　A stone I created years ago that contains all the knowledge that exists in the world.
　From there I extracted a lost and unusable method of controlling magic, called the mupapato system, and taught it to my students.

　Not only as an honorary principal, but also as a classroom teacher, I thus extract knowledge little by little from the Philosopher's Stone and teach it to my students.

''It's true!　It's more magical than usual!
"Me too!　I was able to increase the power of my magic.
If you don't use the Mpapat formula and you don't do it consciously, you'll only get about 80% of your peak on average. ......

　The students were lively and their magic improved quickly.
　My classes have been generally well received so far.

　　　　　Stars

　The class was over and I was walking around the school grounds with the principal, Ethan.

"Thank you again, Vice-Emperor,
You're welcome.
"Oh no, I didn't know that's the mupapat system. I didn't know there was such a thing. As expected of the Vice-Temperor. I'll work even harder with that in mind from today.
"It's okay for the principal to do it, but don't teach the younger students yet.
How is that?
"It's hard to be aware of the peaks all the time. It takes a lot of strength and concentration, so if you don't have some foundation, it's counterproductive.
I see, that's why you only taught it to kids on the verge of graduation.
That kind of thing.
"I'm impressed that you've thought that far ahead. I'm more and more impressed that you've thought that far ahead.

　Ethan crossed his arms and nodded vigorously as he walked.
　Suddenly, as if remembering something, he clapped his hands.

"I would like to ask you for a favor, Your Highness.
"What's a consultation?
"I'm sure you know that the seniors I mentioned earlier are graduating soon.
Yeah, I was 18, guys.

　Ethan nodded.
　At this school, everyone graduates at 18 years old.

So it's time for career guidance.
"A career path,
Well, since this is a school, most of the students apply to the royal palace, the military, or a nobleman's office. If you're in the military, you'll be able to make a living, and if you win a position on the strength of your abilities, you'll be guaranteed a high income. Some of them stay in school.
"I see.

　I remembered the tutors I used to have with Angers.
　I've heard they were well paid, too, being tutors to the Duke's son.
　I'm sure there are students from the magic school who will go on to do so as well.

"Now that His Highness the Vice-Emperor has acquired a fiefdom, would you be willing to accept a graduate?
"I guess you want to give the Vice-Emperor a job slot.
That's right.

　Ethan "By all means! He looked at me with a look of, "What?

　But ...... the place of employment.

　The Vice-Imperial Domain .
　Your father, father-in-law, and Horsen joined forces to form the Alexander League.
　Emperor Eliza approved it, and their domains were commonly referred to as the Vice-Emperor's Domain.

　This is the third year that I've become the honorary principal of the magic school and have been teaching classes, but this year is the first year that the Vice-Emperor realm was established, so this is the first time I've been asked about getting a job.

　I thought about it for a moment and nodded.

''Then there's just one.
"Thank you, Vice-Emperor!　Then I'll go to the public.
"Yes.

　Ethan bowed with a peck and walked away.
　I wonder what kind of student would want to get a job .......

　　　　　☆



　The next morning, the Horsen mansion .
　When you come to the magic school to teach, you are supposed to stay at Hossen's mansion.
　You can use instantaneous magic to return to Carlisle's mansion without staying there, but if you do that, the next time you see Hossen, he'll give you a very sad look, so I make sure to stay there when I come.

　This time, as usual, the next morning after staying the night, I woke up and came over to Hossen in the living room.

"Ha-ha-ha, you're up, brother-in-law!
Good morning, Mr. Hosen. What are you looking at?
"Oh, it's gonna be great.
"Funny thing?

　Crane your neck and listen back.

"It's a message from the Academy to my brother-in-law. Student, I was wondering if you'd be willing to accept one from the Vice-Emperor.
That story. Yeah, she asked me to. Why is that funny?
I've heard you're inundated with applications.　It's multiplied--about 500 times.
"It's too soon!　-- and that's funny!

　I snapped.

"What's funny?
Because the number of graduates is a little over 300, you know?　I know because I taught a class to those people yesterday. There is one frame for it: ...... It's not going to be multiplied 500 times in any way.
What's that about?

　Hossen grinned and laughed.

"Here it is. I heard that as soon as it was announced that my brother-in-law would be hiring one, he was flooded with applications from young kids to skip the test.
"...... skipping class?
Oh, I'm going to skip a grade, make it to graduation this year, and get to my brother-in-law's. I mean, there were almost 200 guys like that.
"Err ......

　I chuckled.
　I didn't know that was going to happen. ...... is that right?

"Awesome brother-in-law, very popular.
No, no,
"Sir, there is further word from the witchcraft school.

　A maid came into the living room.
　She bowed curtly and handed Hossen an envelope.

　Like a rugged warrior, Hossen tore open the envelope at random, pulled out the contents, and read: " ha-ha-ha.

"............ hahahahahahaha
"What, what?　What's going on?
No, it's just that people are flocking to the school. It's just that people are rushing to get into the magic school.
"What, you want to move in or you're flooded with ......!
"Oh.
"Well, no way. ......

　Hossen grinned and the corners of his mouth quirked up.

"You're very perceptive, brother-in-law. That's right, we've been inundated with requests from other magic schools to transfer in as our top student. Roughly 500 students.
"Word spreads too fast!
"That's roughly a thousand people, my brother-in-law.

　Just one night after the public announcement.
　In one slot, 300 graduates, plus 1,000 total
　It was more than three times the normal maximum of 300 times.
