Chapter 653

After Gainando was dragged to the punishment room, his friends were introduced to their individual guest rooms...

"Mr. Wardanaz will stay in this Blue Pavilion, Miss Maykin in this Red Spirit Pavilion, Miss Nillia in this Rain Shadow Pavilion..."

...or rather, they were each introduced to a mansion to stay in.

Surprisingly, the large building they thought was the Kraha family mansion was just a reception mansion placed at the main gate.

Yi-Han spoke with a face that looked like he had fallen in love with the Kraha family.

"Should I go rescue Gainando now?"

"Hold back, Yi-Han! Lady Kraha will appreciate being treated normally rather than being coddled!"

Yonaire and the friends quickly grabbed Yi-Han's arms.

Judging by his eyes, it wouldn't have been surprising if he went to rescue Gainando right away.

"Haha. It's a joke. A joke."

"It didn't sound like a joke at all."

Nillia muttered in a frightened voice.

It was the first time she had seen Wardanaz make such a happy expression.

A despairing Wardanaz was scary, but a happy Wardanaz had something even more bizarre about him.

"The wealth of the Kraha family is truly amazing. Yi-Han. There are no such families in the north..."

"Isn't the Moradi family quite good too?"

"Haha. Yi-Han. Although the Moradi family's territory is large, it's just a prison compared to here! There's nothing there!"

"..."

Yi-Han, who had spoken up to encourage Dolgyu, was slightly taken aback by Dolgyu's cold response.

The harshest critics of the harsh and cold northern lands of the empire were the northerners themselves.

Nillia was disgusted when she saw the size of the personal mansion where she would be staying.

To think she had to stay alone with servants in such a large mansion. She was already reminded of the nightmare when she first visited the Maykin family.

The difference was that this time, Yonaire would be in a different mansion too!

"Nillia. Will you be okay?"

"Wh-what are you talking about? I'm totally fine! The Maykin family was much more demanding? This is completely easy in comparison!"

"..."

"..."

Not only Yi-Han who had asked the question, but Yonaire too looked at Nillia as if they couldn't believe it.

Nillia blushed and hurriedly explained.

"I didn't mean the Maykin family was a difficult place!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Calm down, Nillia."

Yi-Han asked Yonaire with his eyes to visit often.

Yonaire nodded but then paused.

"Yi-Han, what are you planning to do? You're not thinking of going to rescue Gainando, are you?"

"...N-no. I'm just going to meet him and come back."

***

Gainando, who was released after two days, sat among his friends grumbling.

Because the family grounds were so vast and the distance between each mansion where they were staying was far, the friends mainly gathered in the garden near the reception mansion.

"To think only one of you came to see me!"

"What are you talking about, Gainando. Everyone went to see you. But we were told not to come too often, so we returned."

"Oh, really?"

Yonaire solemnly nodded as if that was the case. The friends were puzzled.

'When did we go to see him?'

It seemed like no one except Yi-Han had gone...

"What did you all do for fun while I was gone? Mage card games? Magazine discussions?"

"We took some walks, met some guests staying at the mansion..."

"Miss Nillia was really amazing."

Priestess Siana looked at Nillia with an expression of admiration. The other friends also expressed agreement.

She was so good at talking that rumors like 'When will Miss Nillia come out?' and 'I want to meet her too' spread among the guests.

"I never want to meet them again..."

However, Nillia drooped her ears.

When she went out for a walk in the mansion, a noble she had never seen before came out every fifty meters to talk to her.

Her mind went blank and she couldn't even remember what she had said.

"Didn't you meet anyone on your way here today? There should have been some people walking on the path to meet you."

Alcicle began to regret whether he should have called a blizzard to the mansion himself.

***

"Look over there! It's Baldurguard students!"

"Honorable mages of Baldurguard. How amazing!"

Ingsen and Basiu smiled contentedly at the voices coming from the roadside.

They felt that Baldurguard's name had spread not only in the west but throughout the empire.

"Is it true that Einroguard students are staying at the mansion?"

"That's right!"

"I'm curious about their magic skills. Einroguard is said to be an imperial magic school on par with Baldurguard."

"That's right. The twin chariots leading imperial magic!"

They were two students who casually spouted nonsense that would make the skull principal turn them into insects on the spot if he heard.

But it couldn't be helped.

What could students who had only spent about a year at Baldurguard know about the imperial magic world?

Baldurguard students in their 2nd or 3rd year gradually realized that the evaluation of the two schools was quite different among real mages, but they didn't tell their juniors.

It was to maintain Baldurguard's dignity and honor.

And it wasn't completely wrong since the general public of the empire, excluding mages, thought of the two schools similarly.

"Basiu. Keep this to yourself. I'm planning a light revenge for our seniors."

"Revenge! What do you mean?"

"Remember the seniors who visited Einroguard last time?"

At Ingsen's words, Basiu recalled his memories.

There certainly were seniors who had visited the Einroguard festival last year.

"Ah. Right. That happened."

"At that time, Einroguard mages vilely sent out a senior student to humiliate our seniors."

"Right! How could they do such a vile thing...!"

The two were indignant.

The Baldurguard students who visited Einroguard last year were only 2nd or 3rd year students.

To humiliate such guests, Einroguard cowardly sent out a 4th year student.

Moreover, that 4th year student was so cold and vile (according to the seniors who told the story) that they even had the wickedness to catch the Baldurguard students off guard and ambush them with water element magic.

"This is the first I've heard about an ambush?"

"No. They said there was an ambush. They said some kind of trick was used."

"Well, I thought it was strange that they were defeated so easily when they said they were thoroughly prepared!"

As they listened, it did seem like a trick was used.

Otherwise, no matter how high the grade, they wouldn't have been defeated so one-sidedly, would they?

"And they said it was a 5th year student."

"What? Really? I heard it was a 4th year."

"No. The seniors checked again and said it was a 5th year."

"5th year?! Even more cowardly!"

Ingsen fumed, feeling like a noble's honor had been tarnished.

Not 4th year, but 5th year.

Truly vile Einroguard students.

"I think Einroguard is like that because they accept other races besides nobles. They accept everyone from knights to slaves!"

"Basiu. Don't say such undignified things. The professors warned us too. That outstanding mages should be respected regardless of bloodline."

"That's true, but look now. Our Baldurguard is honorable while Einroguard is corrupt. What's the difference?"

Ingsen couldn't deny Basiu's words.

Baldurguard students would never send out a 5th year student to humiliate guests.

"But Ingsen. How are you going to take revenge? Vulgar acts don't suit your honor."

"It's simple. As mages, we'll take revenge with magic!"

Ingsen declared while grasping his staff.

Although he didn't yet know the skills of the Einroguard students, Basiu wasn't worried at all. Ingsen's skills were among the best of the Baldurguard 1st year students.

"I've prepared a few magics in anticipation of a day like this. They're not magics widely spread in the empire, so even Einroguard students won't know them. I wonder how Einroguard students will react when I ask them to solve this magic?"

"Ingsen, your magic is as great as your honor!"

The two nodded at each other with solemn smiles.

Now it was time to reclaim their seniors' tarnished honor from the Einroguard students.
