“Um, what is that...”
Brigitte looked behind us, her mouth agape.
Ryan and I looked back, too.
There are ten knights of Brigitte
Ryan only subdued two; the rest were eight...
'Yeah, of course I can't use it either.'
Kali defeated all eight knights while protecting Merchen, who was standing next to her, without a single hair being harmed.
Ryan stuck out his tongue.
I'm not really surprised. I've seen our Kali skills so many times before the regression that it's almost boring.
Brigitte's knights are also from Wassenberg, so of course they are not of average skill...
'It's a shame that your opponent is Kali.'
I send my condolences to those who will all be fired by Brigitte, who is furious to the point of hair loss, after today.
“Little sister.”
The situation quickly settled down, and Ryan looked back at Brigitte.
"This guy, you know. He's such a pitiful guy. Do you know his story?"
“...”
“My father told me to keep my mouth shut and live quietly, so I’m doing that, but when you make it difficult for someone who lives quietly to live, I get angry.”
Ryan took a step closer. Brigitte flinched.
“If you follow my brother-in-law or take revenge on me for what happened today, I’ll know it’s you.”
“...”
“And... hey, what’s life like? I’m going to spread the word in the neighborhood that I’m incompetent and that all the kids I have under my wing are my father’s children!”
“Hey, hey!”
"When Father comes to get me, I'll tell him your name. I'll tell him you were so pissed off by the bullying that I blew it all up and tried to kill myself. Yes?"
Brigitte, who had been grumbling, closed her mouth.
If you try to touch this guy and make things worse, it's not going to be good for Brigitte.
"We're just here to visit the capital for a little while. Can you help us enjoy ourselves in peace and quiet?"
“...”
Ryan, confident of victory, smiled at Brigitte's expression as she ground her teeth in frustration.
“It was nice meeting you, let’s not see each other again!”
So, after the commotion with Brigitte.
As if his words had been well-received, there was no retaliation or stalking from her.
One peaceful morning.
“Ha, money is good...”
Ryan muttered as he lay on the wide bed.
This is the outskirts of the capital, a street of villas.
It is an area where the most luxurious mansions are concentrated, and all of them are accommodation facilities.
It is mainly rented by wealthy local nobles visiting the island for long-term stays, and the daily accommodation fee is enormous.
We are living comfortably with the money we earned from selling the magic stone.
“Should I buy a house in the capital?”
Ryan said with a worldly look in his eyes.
After spending a lot of money for a few days and enjoying the capital with so many things to see, eat, and do, I felt like he had become corrupted.
“Son! Are you okay?”
Ryan jumped up and asked.
Alex just got back from getting fitted for his academy uniform and can't leave the mirror.
“Hehehe. Yes!”
"I even gave you an expensive school uniform, clothes, and books. Yes? I trusted you and bought you everything. You're not going to fail the test, are you?"
Yes, Alex hasn't been accepted yet, but he's already been given a uniform.
I submitted his application for admission on the day we arrived at the institution, and we're currently waiting for the document review to determine if he's eligible for admission.
Today is the fourth day that the results are out.
Of course, document screening is just a matter of practice, and the entrance exam that follows is important. If you don't meet the score, you are mercilessly out.
"Father...?"
Alex tilted his head.
"Why are you worried about that? My goal is to get help with my tuition from my father when I enter college."
“...?”
Ryan blinked as if he didn't understand, and he smiled when he understood.
The entrance exam isn't even a problem!
This means that if you just pay for the first semester's tuition, he plans to attend the academy with a scholarship by getting first place for the rest of the semester!
“Huh? ...Hahahaha!”
Ryan, who understood belatedly, burst into laughter.
“You little shit! You’re just like me, smart and confident!”
“Ahhh! Father!”
Ryan, feeling a bit awkward, lifted Alex's waist and swayed. I sniffed happily at the sight of them both.
Ryan...
I remember him taking the lead in buying clothes and school supplies for Alex as soon as he arrived at the institution.
The head of our household, who has never even held a woman's hand, seems to have acquired a taste for raising children.
I really like Ryan.
Humanly.
He is a good person, a good brother...
I think he'll definitely be a good father later on.
Imperial Academy.
It is an institution of higher education where adolescents aged 12 to 15 and adult undergraduates aged 16 to 18 study.
As an institution under the imperial family that aims to 'cultivate talent', anyone with potential, regardless of whether they are noble or commoner, can enter the academy.
Although the school consists of a mix of nobles and commoners, any acts of violence or aggression based on hierarchy are strictly prohibited. Professors conduct transparent evaluations regardless of social status.
This was the result of decades of painstaking effort by the imperial family to cultivate a diverse range of 'talented people' who would become the foundation of the nation.
It is also one of the only clean areas in the Empire, untouched by the corrupt Wassenberg!
“Wow!”
As soon as he entered the main gate of the Academy, Alex was amazed.
At the entrance stood a bust of the first chancellor, Valencier I, and a luxurious marble fountain.
Grand and quaint educational buildings built on a vast site.
Students dressed in academy uniforms are walking around in groups of three or five, exuding youthful energy.
“Let’s split up here.”
I was watching with my mouth wide open for a while when Revan spoke.
"You should go with Alex as his guardian, and Bunny, too? Let's meet again at the fountain at 3 o'clock."
“Where are you going, brother?”
“I know a professor. I wanted to meet him while I’m here.”
Revan said so and pointed to the building in front of him.
"The administrative office is here, on the third floor of the main building. Go there and ask for the Admissions Office."
“Oh!”
As expected, he is the youngest professor in the former academy!
It's been 12 years since you left, but you're still very familiar with the geography!
Soon, Revan left with the rest of his family, and Ryan, Alex, and I headed to the main building.
This is the undergraduate counseling office within the admissions department of the main building's administrative office.
We sat with pounding hearts in front of the Viscountess Herne, a middle-aged woman who was the head of the youth department's admissions management department.
“I’m sorry, but Mr. Alexander Belzer’s admission has become difficult.”
...I doubted my ears.
What does this mean?
“What, what does that mean?”
Ryan, who had been blankly staring for about 3 seconds, asked in confusion.
“There was internal discussion among executives during the process of receiving applications for admission and reviewing the reasons for disqualification.”
Viscountess Herne spoke again with an apologetic expression.
“Alexander Belzer has been deemed unsuitable for our academy’s ideal student body and has been ultimately denied admission.”
“Is this him?”
Ryan pointed at Alex, who looked confused.
"What exactly makes this child unsuitable for the Academy's ideal candidate? Please tell me exactly why. Why on earth would my son be denied admission? He hasn't even taken the exam yet."
"I'm truly sorry. I can't disclose the details of our internal discussions."
“No, what!”
Ryan felt frustrated. He tried to hold back his anger by taking a deep breath.
But I was also dumbfounded.
“Teacher, if you look here, there are reasons for disqualification from admission, but my younger sibling doesn’t have any of them.”
I filled out the application form myself and read and reread the instructions dozens of times.
I spoke, pointing out Alex's application form on the table and the reasons for his disqualification listed on it.
“He's twelve this year, he meets the minimum age for admission to undergraduate school, he has a guardian, and he has no criminal record...”
I stopped talking.
3. A person who has been sentenced to imprisonment for a term exceeding one year
...I think I know something.
I looked back at Ryan quietly, and he seemed to notice too.
He immediately raises his head and asks.
“Did my criminal record as a guardian disqualify him?”
We just discovered it.
The cold sweat of the Viscountess Herne. And the way her hands were trembling and turning white.
“Yes, I can’t tell you the details. I’m sorry.”
To be considered for admission as a junior undergraduate, you must also submit documentation from your guardian. Therefore, the admissions department is aware of Ryan's personal information.
But I didn't think Ryan would be a problem.
Even in the instructions, it was written that only the criminal record of the applicant himself was a reason for disqualification.
“In addition to the stated disqualification reasons, we inform you that admission may be denied if, through internal discussion, you are deemed unsuitable...”
The Viscountess Herne, who looked faint-hearted, seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
She was scared.
Ryan...
Konrad Massacre.
A horrific disaster in which hundreds of innocent civilians were burned to death.
Because he is the one who caused the disaster.
‘Ah, this is something I didn’t even know...’
The reason I didn't think it would be a problem was that I was completely unaware that Ryan was a criminal.
Because he's not a real murderer.
I've never encountered a situation where his criminal record could be an issue.
But now, with Alex about to enter school.
Alex himself is fine, but what if his guardian has a criminal record and has served time in prison?
The Academy concluded that it was morally difficult to accept Alex.
Of course, I understand their position and cannot say anything more.
'What should I do with this?'
I couldn't think of a way, so I bit my lip and looked to the side.
'Ah.'
I was surprised to see Ryan for the first time.
A gaze that dropped to the floor, unable to even meet the other person's eyes. Shoulders hunched. Lips trembling.
“Ah, that... teacher, I...”
He stammered out words, as if he wanted to do something for Alex, even though it meant nothing.
Brigitte looked behind us, her mouth agape.
Ryan and I looked back, too.
There are ten knights of Brigitte
Ryan only subdued two; the rest were eight...
'Yeah, of course I can't use it either.'
Kali defeated all eight knights while protecting Merchen, who was standing next to her, without a single hair being harmed.
Perhaps worried that killing would cause trouble, he only incapacitated them.
“60,000 gold for a meal? That's insane.”
I'm not really surprised. I've seen our Kali skills so many times before the regression that it's almost boring.
Brigitte's knights are also from Wassenberg, so of course they are not of average skill...
'It's a shame that your opponent is Kali.'
I send my condolences to those who will all be fired by Brigitte, who is furious to the point of hair loss, after today.
