Vol 1 Chapter 17 (1/2)
An Eency Occurred
“Cart under house confinement?”
For soht after classes ended, the research society had already been launched, and I a as its president Today, just like yesterday, I went to pick up Sicily and Maria, and Gus told us about the situation
“It see ‘he’ll be spending some time at home under confinement and self-reflection'”
Since the culprit is under house arrest, Sicily does not have to be guarded I guess she will feel… relieved by this?
“Hey, there’s so me; why does Cart have that sort of attitude? Everyone knows it is forbidden to act that way inside the Advanced Magic Acadeh Gus warned him, there was no improvement on his behavior It makes me feel uneasy…”
For so an aristocrat, he blatantly ignored the warning of the Prince of his own Kingdom; I couldn’t wrap my mind around it
And so, the three of them — Gus, Thor, and Julius — made a complicated expression
“What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, honestly, we’re puzzled ourselves, too”
“We [Sessha-tachi] went to the ozaru”
“And Cart also attended that academy”
“Eh? Is that so?”
This is the first time I’ve heard of it, however, since the three are nobles… or rather, Gus is a Royal Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to attend the academy for nobles
“If that’s the case, there’s so I want to know: has Cart’s attitude been that way since long ago?”
“It is because his attitude was different that we’re confused Although that guy has always been confident, it wasn’t to the point where he flaunted his social status”
“That’s right Although I co is lower than his, he has never taken such attitude towards me”
I only know the present Cart Although I can’t believe it myself, Cart seems to be different back then If so, what of the present Cart?
“Speaking of which, Your Highness, if I’ our third year in the academy, after we heard that teacher’s words”
“Ah~… There was hiic teacher?”
“Yeah He asked those who could use reat aptitude for ic Won’t you come to my laboratory?'”
“He did do so his words excessively to the point of being suspicious, I did not accept his invitation in the end”
“I [Sessha], didn’t get to hear his words at all degozaru…”
…Well, that really can’t be helped, can it…
“And so? What about it?”
“Looking back, I believe Cart went to the teacher’s laboratory”
“Hmm~? And then?”
“Since he started visiting that laboratory, his ic ability went up considerably At that tiic ability for a while…”
“He~ was he really such an a teacher?”
“Well, he certainly did have some ability In addition, despite his appearance, he was quite popular Even though it was suspicious”
“His appearance?”
“Yeah, I heard he couldn’t see, and so he wore a bandage in order to conceal both his eyes Nevertheless, he was able to behave like a normal person…”
H about that?
“So what makes him so well-liked?”
“Why, you ask… he could sense his surrounding through ical ability should be lianisms You kno it’s believed to be that it doesn’t work on inorganic matter? Apparently that teacher is able to use that exact sahness, even I, o to the laboratory”
“It’s because he was too suspicious”
That’s all Gus has been saying for a while now
However, how is that related to Cart’s current behavior? Although it certainly seeot more confident from that time on…
“Honestly, I don’t knohether or not there’s a relationshi+p between the two, but it’s just been bothering me”
“Is that so; just who exactly is that teacher?”
“If I’m not mistaken, you said that he came here from the Empire?”
“The Empire, huh…”
There’s a country bordering right next to the place, Earlshi+de Kingdom, where I currently reside, Bluesphere Empire Apparently, the power and authority of the aristocrat there see there, and so a lot of people fled froht also be sodom
“However, I wonder if soe”
“Maybe there’s a special reason? That’s why it’s suspicious”
In the end, everything was just a speculation, and I understood nothing The conversation came to an end the moment Alfred-sensei arrived
“This afternoon, you guys are supposed to be given athe research societies that was uys have already decided, participate in the ceremony just in case”
The research society… Eventually, it was decided before I knew it But wouldn’t this cause antipathy towards the upperclassht?
The class thiswas a lesson about the different countries in this world
Except for ht it wasn’t necessary Froic, the way theycountries is different
During this lesson, there was also an explanation of the Bluesphere E about earlier
The Bluesphere E of one of the small countries unified the other s of the Bluesphere E Eed countries, anyone with meritorious service had been conferred with the title of nobility and was given a territory As a result, the upper-nobles of the Ee amount of power similar to the capitals of siven power siround, they easily conquered their surroundings with military power Even until today, the th
However, there are no large-scale wars happening right now In the past when there was a war, however, because both parties neglected subjugating demons, a demon outbreak suddenly occurred, and they had to stop the war
Nevertheless, there are ru their surroundings for opportunities to prey on thehtheir military power This thus became the basis of the rumors
It is such a country, hence the reo
If a person has a high aptitude for ic, it is unlikely that the Empire will leave the person alone However, the fact that he cadom… It is not at all unusual for one to consider it And such a person is going around calling out to people with talents as a Magician Is he plotting so? It’s no wonder Gus found it suspicious
However, it is not related to Cart’s behavior Nevertheless, I can still understand if he is trying to orchestrate revenge against the Empire…
During lesson tis
While shi+n and the other were receiving lessons in the acade house
“Oh, isn’t this Schtro time”
“Yes, it has been a while I believe the last time I was here was before Cart-kun took the entrance examination for the academy”
This person is, without a doubt, the topic of shi+n and others’ conversation, Oliver Schtrom, the middle school teacher
Although he is a ed by Cart to be his tutor in order for hiic Acadele person residing in the Ritzburg house knows his face, including the gatekeeper
As for his appearance, it is exactly how Thor and the other had described it; his pair of eyes are covered with a bandage The portion not concealed by the bandage starts froe of his nose, and his face is sood-looking young man
“And so… Schtros you here?”
“Well, I heard through word of mouth that Cart-kun has been placed under house confinement Since I used to be his teacher, I orried about him”
He conveyed that as someone who used to be his teacher, it was normal for him to worry about his students
“Is that how it is… As for how in the world Cart-sama ended up this way… Even I, my humble self, is baffled”
“He idolized ht et him to talk and open up…”
“Is that so… Right now, the Master is currently not around, but the Madam is Please wait for a little while I ask for permission”
“I understand”
When the gatekeeper finished talking, he ran inside the mansion When he came back, he was accompanied by an elder lady
“Ah, Schtrom-sensei! Please, do come in!”
“It’s been a while, Lady Ritzburg How has Cart-kun been doing?”
When she was asked that question, Lady Ritzburg, in other words, Cart’s mother burst into tears
“I… Even I don’t knohat’s happening anymore! To say those words to the Royal Faiance to…”
Fro how Lady Ritzburg was currently acting, Oliver started talking to her
“Is that so… Exactly how in the world did it happen; it looks like there’s a need to get the whole story straightened out”
“Sensei… Only sensei is reliable! My husband only kno to punish Cart! Somehow! Please somehow help restore his sanity!”
“I understand I will do it to the best of my abilities”
And so, Oliver entered the Ritzburg’s house and made his way toward Cart’s room
“It’s me, Cart It’s Schtrom Is it okay if I enter?”
However, there was no reply
“Lady Ritzburg, is it alright?”
“Yes, I leave him in your care”
After receiving permission, Oliver entered Cart’s room and immediately placed a soundproof barrier around the room
“What’s wrong Cart? You look like you’re in a pretty pitiable-looking state”
To prevent Cart frohtly There is no ical power Magic power has a huge influence on the life of huic powers are sealed, it can only lead to death
It isn’t easy to castIt is even more so when the person in question has just entered the Advanced Magic Acadeht outside his room would immediately sense it and would break his concentration Because of this, the state of his hands and feet were left tied up
“Schtrom-sensei…”
“What did I tell you? Didn’t I tell you recently that you are a special hu?”
“Yes…”
“Your abilities, your social status, everything about you is special Didn’t I tell you that there’s nothing you can’t get your hands on?”
“But… I couldn’t get ot in the way…”
“Hmmm, is that so That person is a nuisance to you?”
After he finished talking, he started to cast ht outside the room did not sense it When Oliver created a soundproof barrier, he also created a barrier that prevents anyout
“Listen to ret it Because you are…”
After some time, Oliver went out of the room
“Sensei! How is he?!”
“Nn, he’s not doing so well… he’s in a state of losing body and state of mind We can only wait for him to recover over time…”
“N-no way! It’s because that person did such a thing! Because my husband punished Cart!”
“Of course, I also don’t think this is a good thing Though I say this, it’s also because he’s originallysome advice Because he’s in a state of near insanity, it would not be beneficial for the Count to punish him”
“Tha—… thank you very much sensei!”
“Then, if you’ll please excusebecause I still have classes in the academy”
Meanwhile, after Oliver left the Ritzburg house
“Fufufu, Cart-kun, do your best in perfor for me, okay?”
Oliver walked ahile s He then looked up at the room where Cart was in
After theclass was over, everyone went to eat lunch Since S-Class consists of only 10 students, everyone usually eats together Today as well, the entire S-Class occupied one table
“That reet to ask you about it thisher to school and back?”
“What do you mean ill I do?”
“I mean, hasn’t Cart been placed under house arrest? With that, hasn’t the danger being in school or walking in town been eliminated?”
“Well, that’s about right”
