Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 633

Chapter 633

"Hey, Wardanaz. You should have told us in advance if such demons were roaming around."

"No, they don't usually roam around."

Yi-Han explained, feeling there was a misunderstanding.

"No matter how our family is, we're not a place that uses demons like that, this isn't Einroguard."

"Then is that thing in front of us not a demon but a slime?"

Alcicle checked the giant demon outside again at Yi-Han's words.

Eandurde next to him was growling with her hair standing on end.

"Usually, golems roam around. Demons do it sometimes, but that's really rare. Don't misunderstand."

Yi-Han explained earnestly, seemingly not wanting to be misunderstood as a family that uses demons.

Of course, it had little effect. Alcicle was already feeling dizzy.

Clop clop clop!

"Kn-knights!"

Alcicle shouted with a choked voice at the sight of knights approaching from afar.

It hadn't even been a few hours, but he was already this happy to see people.

Yi-Han, who was next to him, asked curiously.

"Did you like knights?"

Alcicle ignored him, pretending not to hear, and waved his hand.

"Over here! Here!"

"You must be Mr. Alcicle of the Pengerin family. It's an honor to meet you."

"I'm also honored to meet Sir Arlong, whose fame is widespread in the empire!"

Alcicle welcomed Arlong, flapping his flippers.

Of course, he was a renowned knight in the empire, but a considerable part of this enthusiastic response was due to the loneliness of not having met people until just now.

Arlong spoke to the demon.

"I'll guide them directly from here."

-Gladly.-

"Can't you behave properly in front of guests? Don't forget that I can tell the family head to extend your service time."

-I... I'm sorry... Knight. Please forgive me.-

Arlong glared at the demon with stern eyes. The amorphous demon walked away dejectedly.

Now that guest guidance was over, it had to go pick grapes in the orchard.

"Ah. Mr. Alcicle of the Pengerin family. Please don't misunderstand. The Wardanaz family doesn't usually use demons. It just happens to be the day we're repairing the golems..."

"I-I see. Of course I don't misunderstand. I absolutely won't mention this anywhere."

Unaware that Alcicle was breaking out in a cold sweat, Arlong contentedly stroked his mustache.

Arlong, having served the Wardanaz family for a long time, also had some numbed senses.

"Mr. Yi-Han. I'm glad you've returned like this. The person next to you is..."

"My junior."

"To have such a spirited warrior as your junior, I'm truly glad. How do you do?"

"Grrrr."

Eandurde met Arlong's eyes and then slowly hid behind Yi-Han.

She felt an immense strength from him, different from someone like Alcicle.

"How is the family head?"

"He's in the outer realm. It might be good to send a message right away."

Well...!

Yi-Han picked up a quill and wrote a letter.

[Family Head. How are you? After finishing a year at Einroguard...]

Yi-Han, who was writing the letter, stopped the quill and frowned.

Alcicle carefully asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Well. I habitually wrote too long. I need to send it short."

"How much shorter?"

"Like this."

Yi-Han crumpled up the paper, threw it away, and wrote again.

[Yi-Han arrived mansion. Alcicle too.]

"Hmm. I think I need to shorten it more."

"...Hey, th-this isn't right, is it?"

"Ah. I'm sorry. Should I write Pengerin?"

"That's not what I mean...!"

A noble's dignity and authority were above blood ties.

Even if they were parent and child, they would use formal titles in public places, and it was the same for letters.

And no matter how close they were, Alcicle was a guest, wasn't it too shortened!

"Wr-write a little more."

"No. Even four words now is a bit long. The family head might get angry and tell me to shorten it."

"Surely that can't be. Then just one more word! Write 'Alcicle of the Pengerin family'."

"That's four words though."

After arguing back and forth, they were finally able to complete the final version of the letter.

[Yi-Han, Alcicle Pengerin.]

"Then I'll send this."

Yi-Han stood in front of a huge hall called the on the first floor of the mansion and threw the letter into the mouth of the door.

As could be seen from the powerful and complex flow of mana felt inside, this was the frontline where outer realm exploration was taking place.

'Amazing. To think it would feel so different after learning for a year at Einroguard.'

Yi-Han marveled as he felt the swirling flow of mana inside.

Just a year ago, it had felt like just a huge mass of mana, but now he could feel distinguishable patterns within it.

Next to him, Alcicle alternated between marveling at that mana and sighing.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

"No! The letter seems too rude..."

"That's enough. Let's wait for the reply. Oh right. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to cook some sardines."

"Ah, no. It's fine. I didn't come here to eat."

Regardless, Yi-Han went to the kitchen and asked for sardine dishes.

Then, from behind the kitchen, a giant, amorphous demon with dozens of hooves walked out with a gloomy look.

"...Where is that demon going?"

"It's probably going to get sardines. Now, junior. Let's continue studying while we wait."

Eandurde pretended to be amazed by the mansion like Alcicle, acting as if she hadn't heard. Yi-Han mercilessly dragged his junior and sat her down in front of a desk.
