Chapter 13 - Staff Meeting

About 5 hours of time after Ars and his fellow participants had finished completing the school’s entrance test.

[Hmm… This kid, he’s actually quite an interesting talent.]

This place is the meeting room of the Royal Academy of Magic.

As always, inside the meeting room was full of talk about the participants of this year’s entrance test.

[To be able to use so much magic even if you are just a simple commoner, that makes you quite an interesting existence…]

Who was very impressed after watching the Ars video at the entrance test was a teacher who was wearing glasses.

Her name is Riara.

Even though she is very young, Riara is in charge of the school year at the Royal Academy of Magic, so she is a person of great respect, even among the other teachers.

[I am against it! I don’t want a commoner, to be admitted to our school which is full of traditions!]

The one who was the first to express his opinion in direct opposition to Ria was Bubhara, who was the examiner in charge for this Academy entrance test.

[This is going to be a big problem that will end up damaging the reputation of our academy! We cannot allow him to be admitted!]

[He will be the one who will bring a new luster to this academy! We must admit him!]

Although the opinions of these two were going their separate ways, it did not seem likely that they would be able to reach a solution through discussion.

Thus, the teachers decided to reach a decision, through a vote between the parties involved.

[Fufufu, four votes in favor, and five votes against, it is now decided. As expected, it is very vegan to accept a commoner as a student in our academy.]

After receiving the result of the vote, Bubhara let out a happy smile.

Those who opposed Ars’ admission were those old teachers who had been working at the academy for a long time.

Many of them received money as bribes, and arranged for students to be admitted through the back door.

It is more convenient to keep the academy’s current admission system in order to keep swallowing the benefits received in the future.

[No, there’s still one person we haven’t heard from yet, Bubhara-sensei.]

[What the…!?]

[Director, I enjoyed hearing your opinion on this matter.]

[….]

As if Riara was trying to seek some kind of help, she decided to call the man who has remained silent until now.

The man’s name is Duke.

Duke has gained fame in the “Order of Holy Knights” under the control of the royal capital, earning the name “Court Wizard” and causing tremendous influence both at home and abroad.

(Wilzard… That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…)

The name was quite familiar to Duke.

Genos • Wilzard

The foster father of Ars, the name of the man who achieved legendary military achievements in the “Order of the Holy Knights” .

It is said that this man defeated an army of over 100 Wizards single-handedly.

It is said that this man cut a giant dragon in half with only a single sword.

There was no limit to the list that represented all the achievements Genos had accomplished.

However, on a certain day, Genos disappeared.

According to the rumors, he went to the dark world on the orders of the government, but the detailed information still remains unknown.

(I need to investigate clearly… What is the identity of this boy…)

Duke and Genos were old acquaintances.

The two were part of the “Order of the Holy Knights, they had honed their skills fighting each other, and had been rivals for a long time.

[That’s right, my opinion is–]

In the midst of the tense atmosphere inside the meeting room, the principal opened his mouth that had been closed since the beginning.

In this way, without Ars’ knowledge, the procedures for announcing the results of the admissions tests progressed smoothly.
