20 – Ones Who Inherited The Name ‘Edel’ (2/2)

Which means Xenovia is the head of the Academy of Heroes, the President.

It seems that she supervises the Academy of Heroes as the representative of the Council of Sages.

「Does the Council of Sages hold that much administration power?」

「Nurturing the next generation is our lifeline after all」

「The Council of Sages fills in the position of president on a rotation basis, to maintain the quality of education of the Academy of Heroes」

Basically, Xenovia explained and Milt expanded on it and the explanation continued as such.

「Master, so you see what I realized was that—」, Xenovia resumed her explanation.

The magic scroll that was included in the application form seems to be the first catch.

「At first I thought, it was a child who was born with the same qualities as Master due to the Wolms lineage」

「I see, it was the magic scroll after all」

「That’s something that was attached to make sure we don’t overlook people with great qualities」

When I first noticed the magic scroll among the application’s document set, I thought 「how lavish」.

My disciple had decided it was a small price to pay to make sure they did not overlook any promising talents, even if it only happens once every few years.

「At the same time as reporting to Milt about having found a promising talent, I dispatched my disciple Arti」

「I see, so Arti is Xenovia’s disciple」

「Yes, I accept those with excellent qualities as my direct disciple」

Arti seems to have proven her qualities to Xenovia.

Certainly, I think she is excellent too.

「If it had actually been a child with the same qualities as Master, I was planning to take him under my wing」, Milt said with a smile.

Certainly as a Master Mage, Milt would have been the best teacher.

「But, I heard the result of the love-value measuring device was only one guardian deity pillar…」

「Ah yes, that’s right. My guardian deity is only one pillar」

「So, I hurried over to Milt and asked what it meant」

「I heard the situation from Xenovia and read the log of the measuring device and confirmed various things」

It seems Milt also knew that I asked Arti about cases of consciousness being blown to someplace else during measuring.

「Putting everything together, I came to the conclusion that it was the Master’s reincarnation. I also concluded that you were reincarnated as the Apostle of the Gods」

Certainly, the Human God told me, I was the Apostle of the Gods. However, I only have one pillar.

「And the magic waterball used against the opponents earlier, Master had showcased it a very long time ago」

「Is that so?」

「Yes, even upsetting the bowels was the exact same」, Milt laughed happily.

「So, my judgement that it was Master, was not a simple hunch」 Xenovia emphasized.

「But still, it’s bad manners to hug suddenly. What if you had been wrong?」

「There is no way I would mistake Master」

「…I don’t know where that confidence stems from」

For some reason Milt was constantly smiling, standing beside Xenovia who was clutching her chest.

「But Master, what would you have done if we hadn’t noticed you?」

「Nn? I had prepared an episode of old stories that only I would know」

「Hohou? What kind of episode?」

「When Xenovia was four years old, you were afraid of ghosts—-」

「Ah! AAAAaaa! Master, I understand already!」

Xenovia panicked and shut my mouth with her hand.

It was a story from her childhood, there was no need to be embarrassed about it, and that too a story from over 120 years ago.

For now, two of my disciples seem to have understood that I am the reincarnation of Edelfuss.
