Grand Duke of the Heibern House - Grand Duke of the Heibern House chapter 73

＜Episode 73＞

“Here.”

The place where Shiron arrived with his friends was a lab in the east wing of the Faculty of Magic.

It was a place reminiscent of ruins, enough to immediately notice that no one had been in and out of it for at least several years.

Cobwebs tangled everywhere, dust piled up in piles, experimental tools whose shape cannot be identified, and so on.

Severon stood there, wondering what to do and where to start.

“This is just too much… … .”

It was the first time he had been treated like this since becoming a cadet at the Royal Academy.

His name is ‘Royal’, but he thought he would abandon his cadet this far.

Shurie sighed.

“Still, this is because Professor Gary Eldos paid attention. Isn’t that better than no assigned classrooms at all?”

“I mean, what is the meaning of a classroom when there is no professor in charge? No, is it really right to spend the remaining four years of my undergraduate life like this?”

Shiron’s body flinched at Severon’s glare.

Shurie shook her head frantically.

“It’s done. I received a group brooch anyway, so I can’t take it back anymore. Let’s make plans for the future together.”

At Shurie’s words, everyone looked at each other’s chest.

It is a brooch in the shape of ‘lips’ that says ‘voice’ in shape.

Who the hell came up with this stupid design, Severon wanted to go and find out right away.

However, it is a violation of the rules to remove the brooch as long as you belong to a group.

No one could have predicted how much more flat winds this cursed stigma, a symbol of troubled children, would cause in the future.

“Why aren’t the kids who are joining? It would be nice to have more hands.”

“Ah, I hope you will be patient with immature nobles. They won’t help you at all.”

Would Shurie’s wish come through?

After a while, the cadets with no rank who arrived at the lab were far from nobles.

“ah… … you… … .”

A pair of men and women who feel depressed at a glance.

Shiron, who knew them well, frowned.

famous guys

In a bad way, of course.

If there are geniuses in the world, of course there are also idiots.

Malcoy, a failed student, and Louise, a mute girl.

The guys belonged to the Voice because of their disastrous grades.

From nob le mt l. co m

Famous no-rank students who shined with 0 credits in the first half, and it is a mystery how they entered the school.

But then.

As if meeting a storm, Ruin’s eyes were shaking.

The fingertips tremble without mercy.

“ah… … ah… … .”

I knew right away the moment I saw it.

in that frowning face.

Relieves a little sadness.

Add transparent anger to it.

If you add momentum like a blade.

“Louise… … .”

A magician who sleeps.

Silent Judge Louise.

Such a precious past life bond.

I didn’t expect to be standing here, with that small figure, with those sad eyes.

Ruin could not bear to keep his eyes on Louise.

I’m afraid it will disappear again.

I’m afraid it will oxidize and break again.

My heart tightened like crazy.

“Louin? Do you know each other?”

Poetry’s question full of wonder.

He is a Ruin who is not interested in anything other than his own work.

Since he suddenly reacted passionately, it was natural for Shiron to question.

“… … .”

How could I not know her?

Of course I know Louise.

She is the agent of the wind and the lover of Sirha.

It’s just that my body and soul have hardened because I met in an unexpected place with an unprepared mind.

He knew that she, along with Sirha, were from the kingdom of Lemadel.

But I never dreamed that she would be at the Royal Academy at this time.

Louise carefully looked up at Ruin, who was showing a confused reaction.

Louise, unable to speak, read emotions through human eyes.

Emotions that are densely stained.

Louise didn’t know why she was looking at her like that.

Ruin, who endured with all his heart, barely smiled.

“hi. Louise.”

Lyria’s pupils widened.

It was because it was the first time I had seen Ruin smile so kindly and brightly with such a willing heart.

Louise with a dazed face took Ruin’s hand and held it.

“Ah… right… … .”

Ruin wrapped his arms around Louise’s shoulder without hesitation.

“You don’t have to force yourself to say it. Just looking at you like this makes me… … .”

The whole heart sinks as if it were about to collapse.

Only Ruin knew how many people her sacrifice, her final choice, saved.

In this world right now, the only person who remembers the end of her life is herself.

I was sad but happy.

I was so grateful that she was alive and that she appeared like this.

But that’s it.

No more provoking her emotions.

It’s because he realized through the work of the golden giant mountain that if you intervene too much in the past of your colleagues, you can ruin everything.

If she didn’t, she might not be able to meet Sirha.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but that’s about it. First of all, it is urgent to organize the laboratory.”

Lyria’s cold voice.

Perhaps because of the strange atmosphere, Severon also helped.

“Yes. I’m not sure if I can finish this today.”

Shiron shook his arms proudly and shouted.

“You can do anything!”

That moment.

woo woo woo-

Daphne’s handprints form a beautiful parabola in the air.

Let the bluish magical energy spread in all directions as if tickling.

shoot aaa-

A place where the mana has disappeared as if it were fading away.

The dust covering the remains of the lab disappeared as if it had been washed.

The cobwebs that were all over the place also disappeared along with the fading magical power as if it had never happened.

It is as if all the impure and dirty things are completely ‘erased’ from this world.

Shurie muttered as if possessed.

“Purification magic… … It’s top notch too… … .”

Realizing the power of the standing tower wizard right in front of her eyes, Shurie felt an uncontrollable emotion.

Oh my God, this is such a great magic.

It was magic that could not even be imagined by her own level, so Daphne felt like a god.

‘Hmph, what the hell is he hiding?’

Chiron was dissatisfied with Daphne.

She was a genius sorcerer who skipped the academy and went straight to becoming an entry level wizard.

I couldn’t understand why he bothered to come all the way to the academy to create a sense of incongruity when he was the subject of his grandfather’s apprentice.

‘If the purpose was to recruit Ruin, there would be many more sophisticated methods.’

The method that came from the brain of such a genius wizard is only a beauty system.

When I thought about it, Daphne’s purpose didn’t seem that simple.

‘Could it be Grandpa?’

It occurred to her that she might be carrying out her grandfather’s orders, but Shiron smiled and shook her head.

It is absurd that the great sage of this kingdom of Lemadel would send a disciple to recruit only one unranked cadet.

“Good. Then let’s begin.”

Lillia started cleaning up the wreckage of the lab.

As the failed students, who were standing awkwardly, started to help Lilia, the other students also scattered here and there.

an hour after that.

“oh! It’s kind of like a classroom now!”

Shurie smiled at Severon, who was shaking his hands and laughing.

“You seem to be in a good mood? Can I hear the reason why you are just getting motivated?”

“It’s not like that… … .”

There is no need to remind you of a bleak future.

Shiron’s arm was placed over Severon’s shoulder, who had just become sullen.

“Now, what shall we do?”

When Shiron looked at Ruin, everyone’s eyes turned to him.

“Tell me.”

Ruin felt the need to clearly express his will to these fools.

“Keep the line. I never forced you here. I respect your choice. But what you want from me is to cross the line. I am not a professor.”

As Shurie looked away, Ruin’s cold voice echoed again.

“I will practice imagery on my own, and I will read magic books. Also, I will find and take only the classes I think I need. Same goes for grades. I have no intention of helping anyone with their assignments, nor of being helped.”

Shiron frowned.

“Oh, that’s a bit difficult. What do you think the academy is?”

“what?”

“If you wanted to do everything by yourself, why the hell did you come to the academy?”

Shurie helped.

“No, that’s right. Basically, the rules of the academy are cooperative life. I don’t know because I’m ignorant and smart, but in the first place, the tasks of the Faculty of Magic are designed so that individuals cannot solve them. In order to survive, we must work together to make use of each other’s talents and characteristics.”

Shiron suddenly pointed her eyes at Lilia.

“Look at Lyria. Perhaps that woman has more personal inclinations than you. By the way, have you ever seen that Lyria complain about being together even once?”

Luin’s expression twisted bizarrely.

He couldn’t refute it, but it was like hell for the archmage to continue living with these gore and lively academy life.

Even if you think about it realistically, sharing opinions with Gyrobel was much more helpful to the level of magic than cooperating with the cadets.

In fact, Ruin’s way of forming human relationships was a bit extreme.

From nob le mt l. co m

For others to come within one’s borders means to share a kind of life.

The horror of darkness has lived like that all past life.

“… … .”

When Ruin was lost in thought without answering, Lilia asked coldly.

“Are you the type of person who places great importance on relationships?”

Lyria points out the core.

Luin laughed bitterly.

A ‘relationship’ to you is a colleague who goes through life together.

It was a special relationship where they stood back to back until the end of the world and protected each other with their lives.

Are these fresh blue young people really capable of becoming such a meaning to them?

If they were like that, they would consider each one of them like a Dane.

To Louin, colleagues were family, or perhaps more.

‘okay. It’s a different life.’

It’s a life that I’ve already been through once, but the timeline is definitely different.

The fate to be formed, the fate to come, and the way to get entangled with the evil emperor were all different from the previous life.

Now, Ruin wanted to try it once.

“Relationships are not that simple for me. If I accept someone, I will defend him with my life.”

“Mo, life?”

Shiron’s spine was damp.

The determined light intertwined in Ruin’s eyes.

The look in his eyes was so stern that he couldn’t dare ask more.

“I also intend to share all the burdens of my destiny, all the fates. A colleague… … I think so.”

The weight of the emotions Ruin gave was too heavy for him to dare to bear.

“It is my belief that if there is a relationship that will stop at this academy or something, I don’t want to start at all.”

“No, that’s too… … .”

“It’s too extreme!”

Severon and Shurie were backing away like people stained with fear.

But that’s Ruin’s way.

“If you are not determined enough to be mixed up in each other’s fates, don’t come close to me. Because that is my way.”

Lyria Dreamit Abrel.

Only she did not avoid Ruin’s gaze even once.

“Teach me.”

“what?”

She laughed for the first time at Ruin’s question.

“How to make you protect me by sacrificing your life.”
