Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 127
International students (3)
Despite the midsummer weather, inside the library where the cool air was blowing, Ersa was waiting for us.
As I turned my back from the reading table, it seemed that the whole inspection process was over.
As soon as she came to this place, she intentionally began to moan as if she was trying to relieve her anger.
“Do you know how genetic testing works?”
“You’re looking for how many overlapping alleles out of a dozen.”
“What is it, you haven’t even taken a summoning therapy class yet?”
I turned my head slightly and pointed to the corner of the library.
El Cloud’s sex education is two centuries ahead of other families.
Ersa, who nodded her head slightly, showed the test strip with a cold expression on her face.
“Usually, when confirming paternity, if 3 or more out of 15 discrepancies are found, there is no chance of paternity.”
“Then can you recognize your uncle and nephew similarly?”
It’s hard to see because it’s not organized well.
Being aware of Elena sitting next to her and asking for an explanation, the hand connected to her gains strength.
Ersa, who was watching our connection with her eyes filled with laughter, calms down.
“Of course. However, the high-ranking nobles have to be looked at more strictly because they have been mixed with blood for a long time. If it’s a royal family, there’s no need to say it, right?”
“Okay, come to the conclusion!”
Medusha, who was sticking her head out at the entrance of the library, was frustrated and shouted.
There is no meaning to hide from my summons, so I just look at it openly.
With one eye closed, Ersa sighed deeply and announced.
“There is no possibility of blood relations within eighth degree. They are completely male.”
“What? Then why is Russell…”
“Perhaps you noticed that you resemble your mother’s side?”
Was it unrequited love, not a cuckoo?
Maybe he had a proper relationship with Elena’s mother.
Ethel at the entrance of the library protested again with a slightly disappointed voice.
“Then Essha was right. What did he say?”
“Does that mean that all other heirs to the throne have been purged and only Elena remains?”
It is certain that Eshas intercepted Russell’s lover and brought him into the concubine of Edwin II.
Anyway, I’m glad it wasn’t blood.
With a sense of relief and tension all over my body, I stumbled a little, and Elena sat me down in a chair.
She, who had regained her harmony just like me, was smiling lightly.
“Are you safe?”
“Well, that’s because she’s not a traitor’s daughter…”
“Is that really all?”
Elena jokingly jokes about her being the most anxious.
Persia, approaching from behind, made a familiar nonsense.
“I thought she might be the daughter of Russell and Eshas…”
“If it was mixed with dragon blood, it was discovered long ago. It must have been difficult to deceive everyone in the palace.”
It’s been a while since I thought it was a good thing because I was worried.
The nap members who rushed in after waiting from afar congratulate them.
“Why do you think Lewis is more relieved than Elena?”
“What were you trying to do with this bastard, nephew?”
“What are you doing…”
“Stop it! It’s my turn today!”
I’ll probably be teased with this until the end of the vacation.
As both Summoner’s Day and Summoner’s Day were held, half of the vacation was already over.
I thought I’d really get a good rest now, and it’s been awhile since we chatted in the bedroom.
When the expressionless handmaiden enters, her body stiffens like before.
It’s a bit embarrassing to have been lying around since the day, but it’s not like I won’t be able to look after you for a day or so…
As I was feeling wild, she suddenly handed me a letter.
Looking at the seal of Beltern now gives me a sense of relief rather than surprise.
At least the duke didn’t pamper me like Eshas did.
“Master. This is an invitation.”
“Suddenly…”
“Probably the case of the welcome party for international students. It’s a bit early, but there are only so many events lately.”
When I opened the letter with a paper knife, the words of the handmaiden were written as it was.
Of course, international students from Einclad come through the sea route…
The Duke of Beltern, who was a great Southern noble and was in charge of trading with Einclad, took on the role of hospitality.
Originally, it was a welcome event attended by close associates of the duke.
It is difficult to intervene with a simple alliance status, but he invited me as if it was quite natural.
Reluctantly, I went down to the living room and presented the contents of the letter.
“I think I’ll have to go to Beltern for a while… Anyone going with me?”
“Huh? What? Einclad’s welcome party for international students?”
“Can I go? We’re in a position where we have to face them all the time at the academy.”
“Then we should go further.”
When Christine’s reaction was slightly reluctant, Maria insisted for some reason.
Apparently, Westwall’s relatives are concerned.
Anyway, I am confirmed to participate.
As a Southern noble, it is absurd to decline the invitation of the Duke of Beltern.
Not only Elfriede, but also all the other napping members will attend.
I turned my head slightly and looked towards Eolin and Ersa.
The women, who were arguing over refreshments, spoke together in one breath.
“If it’s the south, isn’t it the hottest place right now? Buy a present.”
“Mine too.”
“Professor, the snack I gave you last time was also made in the South.”
“What? Hmmm… W, it’s all right. I don’t want to go.”
Eolin thought seriously about the snack Elfriede had given her, but in the end shook her head.
The look you don’t want to get out of on the cold marble floor.
Although Persia and Laurier are absent, the newly built Yeongju Castle has a very good heating and cooling design.
I went back to the bedroom and was lazy, and the next morning, I was dragged out by the waitress.
Not only did she trim her hair, but she even put on a light make-up because of her complexion.
Others look ready a little earlier than me.
After getting permission to sortie by the handmaiden with difficulty, I went straight to the train station.
Excited about going out for a while, Persia continued to glance at her body.
“Master, didn’t my hair stick out or not?”
“Because it’s fine.”
“Don’t worry. It’ll be messed up soon anyway.”
Persia’s face turned gloomy as Medusha smiled wickedly as she remembered her nephew.
Thanks to this, I had to keep pacifying him while we headed to Beltern.
Although the name is a welcome event, the Duke of Beltern and us are not going to meet the coast.
Even if it includes high-ranking nobles and royalty, they are from foreign countries anyway.
These are the guys who will serve as prisoners if their relationship with Einclad deteriorates in the future.
So we just had to wait comfortably at the Duke Castle.
It wasn’t long before the sound of a horn sounded as the Duke of Beltern, Steno, and the Duchess were saluting.
A signal announcing the position of the event leaders.
After I quickly sat down and adjusted my posture, unfamiliar faces entered the room.
A dress that is much closer to ours than to Einclad’s.
Since I have to live in Dracor from now on, it seems that I changed clothes early.
Medusha smiled pleasantly when she noticed that about 20 people who had entered in a line were wandering around the banquet hall of the Duke of Beltern Castle, as if in a strange way.
But I couldn’t join him because I’ve been like that before.
They too are nobles in their own way, so they wanted to show their dignity, but…
Beltern is so big and flashy that it’s useless to try not to be surprised by anything you see.
As soon as the prince who came as Einclad’s representative greeted Beltern, the banquet began.
Consideration for someone who must have been tired of a long trip.
Maria’s eyes, sitting nearby, scan them busily.
“Do you even care?”
“Oh, it’s not like that, but…”
Watching Maria making excuses while waving her hand, grabbing a glass of wine is a short time.
Letty, who had her eyes raised before, fell into it.
The guy who drank all the contents in the blink of an eye lifts up the straw while inflated.
“Piyoot!”
“It’s a very cumbersome way.”
I smiled bitterly and accepted the way he wanted it.
Let’s enjoy the banquet as it is, the international students come to us first.
They greeted each other as if they had already become a noble of Dracor.
After all, most of them are supposed to find a mate in Korea even after graduation.
Although the number is smaller than expected, each person’s impression is good.
It felt like only the elite were sent to properly absorb the knowledge of our academy.
Soon, a girl who was a little smaller and more passive than the other international students greeted Maria carefully.
The long bangs cover the eyes a little.
“Oh, hello… This is Mabel Williams.”
“welcome!”
A voice full of sincerity, unlike before.
It seems to be a family that had exchanges with Westwall in the past.
Even the opponent, who had been anxious all the time, seemed relieved at Maria’s willingness to respond.
I, who was feeling a little awkward throughout the event, greeted me with a forced smile.
In fact, Einclad had a history of supporting Russell and the rebels, so his impression was not very good.
Of course, there was no such thing as publicly promoting it, and it was probably done independently by the Einclad royal family.
It is also funny to hold grudges and prejudices because of some fault.
I decided to relax a bit and welcome the international students.
After escaping from the excitement to stop by the bathroom for a moment, I saw a familiar back in the corner of the hallway.
Elena drew a communication card from the Summoner’s Book.
I’m sorry to say that, but her personal relationship is very narrow.
Thanks to this, it was clear who the communication partner was.
‘Are you talking to the royal palace informant again?’
When she finally found me, who ended the communication, she smiled wryly.
A semi-mandatory question is asked to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
“What did you say?”
“It’s just a simple business report. Eshas, who got the summoning reagent last time, is having trouble keeping it.”
“Yes? Why?”
It’s not like we’re going to put it on display in the middle of a casino like Einclad.
Isn’t it enough to just dump it in the royal palace warehouse?
Elena, who drew my interest, takes a short walk and adds an explanation.
“The reagents I got kept showing reactions… I think the rebels tried to summon them right before they were caught.”
Was it Howard’s last move when he died?
When I heard the news, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Even if a large-scale summoning ceremony is not enough, there is no way it can be summoned by a simple ceremony.”
“Yes. But the summoned target must have noticed the existence of our dimension.”
“Well…”
So, is the king of the night or the black dragon doing something sending a reaction through a reagent?
Even for high-grade summons, the difficulty of summoning drops dramatically if you cooperate directly.
However, there are very few beings who wish to be summoned that much.
Elena, who read the anxiety on my face, smiled and shook her head.
“Don’t worry too much, as it is enough to seal the reagent anyway.”
“Yeah, it is.”
“And… I think Eshas is trying to bring in the concubine again.”
“ah…”
Unlike before, Elena’s face was clearly darkened.
It seems that Eshas put into action what he said he would create another successor.
She gave birth to dozens at most, but Eshas herself purged almost all of them and placed another spell.
I couldn’t even imagine the humiliation that Edwin II would feel.
No wonder Elena is worried about her father.
With a somewhat sentimental expression on her face, she adds an unspoken comment.
“It’s about blood transfusion.”
“yes?”
“Eshas is bringing in concubines. The royal family and high-ranking nobles have already used too much and their blood has become cloudy… This time, they are hiring a large number of commoners.”
“That, like that!”
Obviously, when the gene pool is limited, physical and mental abnormalities occur, but…
Korea is quite large.
If you look at our academy right now, more than half of them are from nobility.
Although the number includes lower-class aristocrats, dozens of new aristocrats enter the school every year.
To me, the success story of Elena seems to have blown away Eshas.
It’s like mixing things up like any biological experiment.
Elena shook her head at my reaction and turned towards the banquet hall.
“I said something wrong. Don’t worry too much. Dad will take care of it.”
“…”
I silently held hands to comfort Elena.
Her body leaned a little lower than usual.
