36-Episode 33: Sage, Erase Magic Only with Magic




 Cecil, Rowan and Sarasa subdued the runaway nobles in a flash.

 Cecil scratched the head of his nose as if he was good at it, and turned the precipice.

''How is it? Lacelle. You raised your hand, we did.

Of course. Who do you think I trained for it?

 I argue quietly.
 Then Cecil quips, "You can't give me a little praise,
 Sarasa beside me comforts me.

 It's been two weeks since the acceptance announcement.
 I teased Cecil, Sarasa, and Rowan a little bit (I wish I hadn't, I wish I hadn't).

 I reluctantly decided to go along with their training, in response to their request.

 But I couldn't just stay in my dorm bed until school started again.
 I also wanted someone to move around with, which is what I really wanted.
 If the three of us hadn't insisted, we would have gone outside of the King's Capital again, creating dungeons and holed up.

 Cecil continued to train in group battles with an eye on speed.
 Sarasa increased her magic power output, and had her constantly refine the accuracy of her [Future Vision].
 Rowan, due to special circumstances, is already a professional grade in actual combat. Due to her own intentions, I made her work on increasing her magic power amount.

 Each of them faced their own challenges.
 As a result, they had improved dramatically in a short period of time.
 Probably, if they were at the same elementary level as us, they wouldn't be able to compete with us.

'What are you guys doing there?'

 I was frolicking in the middle of the street when I heard a voice.
 When I turned around, a man with dark parrot-colored hair came up to me.

 Ho.........

 I growl at him.
 He's probably a little older than me.
 His face still has a childlike quality to it.
 His amber eyes are fixed on us intently.
 He's of average height, but what's distinctive about him is the well-defined muscles hidden by his uniform.
 It seems that this one has been teased out quite a bit as well.

 Rowan is also considerable, but his suppleness feels like a different kind of balance.

'That's third class,'

 Sarasa pointed to the crest on the man's shoulder while tapping his ear.
 You will find a single 'blue rose' painted on it.
 It's a crest that indicates third class.

The 'cherry blossom' on the shoulder of that uniform........ That's a first class student. What's all the fuss about?

 I straighten up in front of the senior students.
 The moment I opened my mouth to explain the situation, someone shouted loudly beside me

I need help!

 He was a nobleman who grabbed us out of the blue.
 As soon as he saw the man, he called for help as if clinging to him.

"These guys came charging in and.... You're the enforcer. You're the enforcer, you have to help me!

"Marshal?

'A self-governing organization created by the students - the Student Government Association. Its soldiers.

 It was Rowan who explained.

 Law..........
 So the students are receiving the autonomy of the school?
 The school is basically run by the students.
 The students are also the ones who correct that discipline.

 The man was not overly righteous in his call for help.
 I'm sure he's used to this kind of quarrel.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.
 He just stood firm and glared at us.

''Is what he's saying true?''

I don't believe it. He pulled it out first.

 Cecil pointed to a rolled up nobleman's weapon.
 Once the marshal assessed the situation, he sent down the shadings.

''For now, I want to hear the situation from everyone. After the entrance ceremony, you have a day or two to report to the Autonomous Council Room. If you don't comply, you will be forcibly taken away. In that case, we will take you out in a big way to let you and the other first graders know about the activities of the neighborhood association.

 So it's not a citywide dragging, but a schoolwide dragging.

 I see.
 It would be a good demonstration.
 It would be better if we just followed it.

By the way, can I ask you a question?

 The marshal turned to me.

I'm sure you have the 'cherry blossom' emblem on your right shoulder, but you don't have the emblem on your left shoulder to indicate your profession. You don't mean to say that you've forgotten it on this fine day, do you?

 A tense feeling runs through me.

 I heard Sarasa, who was nearby, gulp and clear her throat.

 On her right shoulder is a floral emblem indicating the equal family.
 On the left shoulder, it is prescribed to wear a crest that indicates one's job function.
 If you're a [Warrior (Warrior)], it's like 'Sword'.

 However, I'm a [villager].
 Of course, there is no such symbolic design.
 I inquired with the school about this, and they were allowed to go to school without the coat of arms.
 Wasn't the school's self-governing body notified?
 Or, if there was a notice to the organization, this officer just didn't know about it?
 I'm not sure, but it seems that they still don't recognize me.

 I decided to answer honestly.

'No need,'

It's not necessary. What do you mean?

'I'm a [villager]. The school has given me permission to do so.

'[Villagers]? [Villagers]? Kuhu......... Hahahahahaha........

 The marshal bent his body into a crouch and suddenly began to laugh.

''That's ridiculous. There's no way a [villager] can enter the Adventurer's School. This is a schoolhouse for learning the six great occupational magic. It's not a place for [villagers] to enter.

"Wait, Mr. Marshal. It's true. Lacelle is a [villager]. But he has the ability to do magic--

 Salasa defends.
 The Marshal gives a sharp look.
 That's all it took to silence the frail elven girl.

''The [villagers] are magic? Are you guys screwing me, the enforcer? Or do you have some weakness in this man?

'No way! It's true that Lacelle is a stubborn, unsophisticated guy, and the only thing on his mind is to make himself strong...

 Hey ..., Cecil. That's not a compliment at all.

'I'm not going to go out and get people for money like the aristocrats.

'In the first place, Lacelle, you passed the test and are here. There should be no better proof than that.

I think you're being a little stubborn, Mr. Marshal.

 Sarasa, Cecil and Rowan stood in front of me and the enforcer.

'Indeed. If you've passed the entrance exam and are here, there's no problem. But there are plenty of people who want to enter the Adventurer's School. In addition, this place holds the names and grades of the seniors who have gone on to become adventurers, or the technical papers that have come out of their studies. This is the kind of information that research institutions and adventurers want to know more about. Yes, sir. I can't just say, 'Oh, I see,' and let it pass.

 The marshal looked down from the top of my head to my toes.

 I see.
 I thought I was being watched very carefully, but it seems that the other side is also aware that I'm not just anyone.
 I'm sure they are aware of my strength and are suspicious.

 Should I feel honored?
 No, it's a bad situation.
 If this is the case, I'll be taken to the autonomous conference room before the entrance ceremony.

 I have nothing against the entrance ceremony, but this is a fine opportunity for me.
 I want to spend it with my friends.

Then what do I have to do to make you believe in me, magistrate?

We'll have to sit down with him first. In the council chambers.

No! Lacelle will be at the Commencement with us!

 It was Cecil who became enraged.

 He took his sword again.
 At the same time, he activated the 【Blacksmith (Blacksmith)】 magic.
 I grant 【Object Acceleration】 to my toes.

 But it was the other guy's fault.

 Before Cecil could activate it, the enforcer had already activated and built magic.

 [Leg strength increases]

 Thang and a kick to the ground.
 She tried to sneak into Cecil's bosom.
 At this rate, she would be subdued without using magic.

 There was such a difference in ability between the current Cecil and the enforcer.

 Oh dear........
 Wasn't it forbidden to use magic outside of class in the school?
 I hold out my hand.
 It doesn't activate magic.
 I just focused my magic power on the palm of my hand.

 It doesn't chant magic, it just flicks the magic power in all directions.

 Batin!

 A sharp sound spread around them.
 Instantly, the magic power in the area is blown away.
 Even the magic flowing inside the body is blown away, and even the magic of the enforcer, let alone Cecil, disappears.

"Bo, my magic disappeared? No, you've been erased! No, he didn't do any magic........ In the first place, [villager]........

Mr. Marshal...

 I talk to him as gently as I can.

 But--

''Ohhhh!

 I screamed.
 The Marshal stepped back.
 He pulls away from me.

 He scrunches up his face, like he can't believe it.
 He looks at me like a child who has seen a ghost.

"I don't use magic, sir. ''Mr. Marshal,''

 I smirked.
