Chapter 32 (2/2)
Of course, they didn’t knoas a e his reputation if it caazes full of envy towards him…
In any case, as he was in this aforementioned position as a top student, he had no way to avoid the event, and so he was growing discouraged just by thinking about it
His steps while pushi+ng the dolly cart were heavy… Though, needless to say, the dolly was actually heavy due to the sheer ah the entrance of the Great Library, in front of his eyes, sitting in one of the reading places, was the figure of the one student he didn’t want to seeWell, in actuality, there were ory, but to him, this person was someone he absolutely didn’t want to encounter, his older brother, Zweit
He see within the piles of books around hih a piece of paper as he wrote, and then turning to the books again
According to Kreuz’s ic is power! Wahahaha!’, and didn’t have a particularly hardworking personality for hie
However, that was his mistake in the first placeZas actually quite serious about his studies but had the type of personality of not wanting his efforts to be seen by othersOf course, Kreuz didn’t know that before because he simply tended to stay cooped up in his own roo hard on his own
It could be said that Kreuz was indifferent to his surroundings to that extentAnd yet, when he thought that he had to give his greetings now that he had already seen hiloomy face
“How unusualI didn’t think I would find ht you were on your faction’s ‘absurd theories assembly’”
“Ah? And what about it, Kreuz? I haven’t been going for a while now, theyall their little war plansI’ now”
‘Oh?’ For a ht flashed across his mindFrom what he remembered, his elder brother has never had such a friendly and open personality
“Were you the one that borrowed ‘Ancient Magic Foric’ a long tio, by the way? The fored, so they’re useless…”
“…Ahhh, yeah I borrowed itIt should be buried somewhere in the pile of books in my roo that can be found on the street”
Zweit talks about it without averting his eyes froOn the other hand, Kreuz felt confusedAs far as he knew, his brother wasn’t one to be interested in ic research
“What happened so suddenly? Are you planning to beconic so it’s easier to use, but…”
“assignment? Was it perhaps from Father or Grandfather?”
“Nah, froht by hiirl’, you know?”
“!?”
The Acadeician longs for, as uidance of such excellent individualsFor instance, studying under a ician renowned all across the country such as Creston, and being dee appointed to important posts in the country
However, it’s exactly because of it, that one’s talent and grades within the Acades, and so, only the ones who have excelled in both areas can be recognized as disciples of such personages
It was hard to believe that Zweit and Celestina had already a ‘Mentor’
(TN: Well, this resolves the doubt I had back on chapter 25, when blonde-drills-girl asked Celestina if she had ayou? Viscount Negus, or Marquess Altmeyer?”
(TN: ネーガス子爵 and アトマイヤー侯爵)
“…… Kreuz, that is confidential information from our HouseYou can’t by any ht?”

“Is that person important to that extent? Well, he did found a way to ic…”
“That is also a matter of absolute secrecyEven to His Majesty, you can’t talk about itIt will definitely become a problem if it’s known”
Zas completely seriousHe had the expression of so responsibility, unlike how he appeared to be in the past
Kreuz also braces himself and makes up his mind
“Let’s hear it thenI’m also part of the Duke of Solishtea’s houseI have the duty to listen to ht”
Zweit looks around to make sure there aren’t other people aroundHe discreetly cast a spell, taking into account the possibility of so
“In short, we studied under an unknown ician”
(TN: as in not famous)
“Ha!?”
A hard-to-believe answer comes out of his elder brother’shome for the summer vacations, Grandfather and Celestina were attacked by bandits and were saved by a ridiculously strong ician who happened to be around”
“… Hold onIt’s really strange to go to the extent of having a duty of secrecy for an unknown ician, you know? Who the hell is this person!?”
“The real problee’ you see”
“Wha!?”
In this world, occupation is the representation of each person’s most suitable set of skills written on their StatusIt’s a title recognized by the World itself and could be said to be a person’s life calling, which st thee’, ‘Saint’, ‘Saintess’, and ‘Hero’ are ones that belong to the category of legends and folkloreWhenever someone is born with one of these occupations, countries will do everything to add theth
“It’s my benefactor’s wish to live in peaceThis country will perish if he ever gets bothered”
“Is that really true? I still can’t believe it…”
“It isHe rewrote all of the Acade like that? It’s impossible for ic now?”
Magic altered by a Great SageIn that case, it’s no impossible for even her incoic… Is what he concluded
“H like we’ve been usingwayThe reason Celestina couldn’t use ic formulas themselves, or perhaps I should say that they seeh there are differences froic, or at least that’s what that guy said”
“… As I thoughtThe ic formulas are inferior to the ones from the pastThey’ve all been completely destroyedThe dissertation written by the heretical ic and the Destroyers’ proved that everything was true, right?
And then, ? I just didn’t have any interest in them”
(TN: yeah, not sure what he means in that last sentence;それと、酷い事をしていたのは兄さんだけですよ？ 私は興味が無かっただけです」)
“… Isn’t it just as bad to pretend not to notice?”
Both Kreuz and Celestina are excellent in tere, as they seemed to have arrived at the same conclusion on their own
“Well, did Celestina also look at Sahakul’s dissertation, perhaps? I guess if she couldn’t use ic formulas”
“Fueof which, she er than you, you know? She’s been accu actual coe-dono is quite excellent, thenHe row so much… It’s kinda…”
“No, that’s just what happens when you undergo actual battlesI think you are kinda similar to him in some aspects, but you both have coed and tested his theories through battles”
“… That’s scary”
They stand at opposite sides of the spectru on the muscles-for-brain factionKreuz sensed that it would hard for hi an indoors-type of person, outdoorsWhen he thinks about that Great Sage, a scene of soic experiments on the battlefield conician? I’m honestly curious”
“As I said before, it’s to ic more efficientI have closely examined this spell’s e burden on the user, aside fro an absurd amount of mana, tooAlso, the power hasn’t been coic formula is so exquisitely constructed that it feels like it’s harassing ’ just now? Then, as I thought, the characters on the ht!?”
“That’s rightMagic characters are the written representation of the laws of physics, and they’re activated by forht’? Did you arrive at that conclusion on your own!?”
“It’s true that I felt a sense of discoIt was only around twointo it in earnestBut, I see… so otten a hint, I can finally move forith my research”
Kreuz couldn’t hide his joy at the prospect of finally ress with his researchAbove all, he suddenly became motivated as the hypothesis he coht
On the other hand, however, Zas feeling complex emotions
“Honestly… Kreuz, I seemed to have underestimated you”
“Huh? What’s with that creepy line all of a sudden?”
“Celestina and I can read s, but you’ve arrived at that conclusion on your ownIt’s a big difference, you know?”
In these past two rown considerablyHe now had the leeway to ad it because it’s fun”
“That’s why, be carefulYou’re the saht now, you’re gonna end up erous stuff? … Such a thing, are you serious?”
“Wide-range annihilation ic… shi+shou can use it”
A cold breeze seee annihilation le person can use, a? Where would you even obtain the enormous amount of mana necessary to cast it froius’ ‘The World’s Providence and the Occult’”
“!? No way, using external ht the solution would lie within itI still have a long way to go…”
“No, you’re good enoughYou’re probably ician than anyone else here… Do you want to kno to decipher it?”
“NoI’ve coh the endAfter all, the answer has already been given to ic for back to his lab, research, experi a for
“Oops, I alotHere, this is fro at hi
Looking closely at it, the ring had a coasped in surprise at the sheer a is…”
“It’s a ic medium… like a wandYou should try it out to see if it’s comfortable to useHe also said it’d be helpful if you could put together your iic”
“Send it to Grandfather and it’ll reach him”
“I understandI’ll write one soon”
“Ah, and also… return the book quickly! Other people want to read it too!”
“・・・・・・・・・・・”
It wasn’t easy to carry back thatit would take hie to do it with the dolly cart, but it was depressing to hi round trips over and over
“Dear brotherWould you be so kind as to assist me with that task?”
“I refuseIt’s all because you have no self-restraintDo it yourself”
He did not expect to be refusedAnd, for a while, Kreuz would have to repeatedly carry out such a laborious task despite his reluctance
“Speaking of which… Do you live with a woman now?”
“I don’tShe just naps in my lab from time to ti each other naked… and other enviable shi+t, damn it… you bastard”
“Are you envious to the extent of shedding tears of blood? Cal”
There was no way Kreuz would’ve known of his brother’s broken heart, as he sees Zweit shedding tears of blood
“Y-You’re rightSpring is in full bloom! It’s the perfect tio on dates outside!”
His older brother going crazy froht to behold
“Who’s spreading those rumors, by the way? I’d like you to tell uys that entered with you in middle school… Ah, I think he’s also in your faction… Ma, Macaroni?
“It’s MakarovI see now… kukukuWhat shall I do I wonder”
“You… You really are like shi+shou, I knew it”
Kreuz then disappears into the rows of bookshelves, pushi+ng the dolly cart with a dark smile on his face
Zweit turns his eyes back to the book on his desk…
“…That guy also changed”
He mutters
In the past, Kreuz never showed any interest in anyoneHe always responded with a superficial smile, but no one really was reflected in his eyesHe was indifferent to the point of seeing his blood-related brother, Zweit, as urine in his eyesHe was that kind of person
But Kreuz wasn’t that cold nowHe looked at Zweit in the eye while they were talkingBut, unfortunately, the person hies, and it will take hi time to realize
“I knew, so it was a woe ato co for a lover in the middle of winter
Furthermore, because Luceris was his favorite type of woht
“Buhle”
The brunt of the anger co from his broken heart was directed at the person who used brainwashi+ng ic, there’s a high chance that he would’ve succeeded in courting her
It was ht be the right thing to do
And so, his thirst for blood was turned towards Samtroll’s subordinate, Buhl would coame to support us!
