Chapter 14 - Test Passing Celebration

After a few days I took my admission test to the Royal Academy of Magic.

I received an envelope at my home in the slums where I am living.

From the material of the paper used, it was immediately clear that I had received a letter of acceptance or rejection from the academy.

Opening the envelope without much expectation, I found a piece of paper with the words “Approved” written on it.

[Fufufu, this way, let’s hold a toast to celebrate Ars’ approval!]

So, at this moment, I was being taken by my father to a membership club in Parakenos.

[But I was still quite surprised, I told you to go to a school, but I didn’t expect you to be accepted at the Royal Academy of Magic…]

Apparently, the fact that I went to take the entrance test at the Royal Academy of Magic was quite unexpected for my father.

Even if you can say that it is a school of magic because of its name, there are several types of them.

There are some schools that anyone could attend as long as they could pay their tuition, but the school I am currently attending is probably the best in the sense that I can get from home to it without difficulty.

[Hmm, you never know what can happen in this world, I could never imagine that the “Nighthawk” would become a student. The day the higher-ups hear about it, they will fall off their chairs.]

Speaking across the counter was a woman in a dress, whose name is Mariana.

She is a senior assassin who is also part of the 《Nameless》 magicians’ guild.

In the past, Mariana had been given the code name 《Female Leopard》 , but now she was away from the freight line, often working as an information agent.

Mariana has taken care of me in many ways since I was a child.

I used to get magic training from her, instead of my father who was traveling all over the country on business.

[This is also good, the times when you can live only on your strength are over. From now on, even if you are living in the world of darkness, you’d better have at least one qualification certificate. This is how you should live in times of peace.]

[Well, our work is also undergoing changes. This Parakenos, too, is much calmer now than it used to be.]

When I started working for the organization, this Parakenos was something you could call a lawless zone.

There are certain types of fish, which cannot live in a clean river.

This city that was developed as a result of a group of criminals, fleeing the strict laws of the royal capital, had become a focus for various crimes.

It was there that an organization called 《Nameless》 emerged.

This organization was created under the initiative of the government, to take care of all the “Dirty Jobs” that cannot be done by the units of the knights of the royal capital, sometimes it is called 《Royal Decree》 by some groups.

[This is all thanks to the “Nighthawk” .]

[Fufufu, you can say that all this is the result of my educational guidance.]

For the past 10 years, the organization has been secretly eliminating all the criminals who have been nesting in Parakenos.

Nowadays the number of people doing irrational things has greatly decreased, because of their fear of the name 《Nameless》 .

An incident happened just after we talked about the past.

Crunch!

Crunch Crunchhhhhhh!

Suddenly, the sound of broken video echoed throughout the club.

I moved my suspicious gaze downstairs.

And there they were, it was a group of men who were armed with some kind of weapon.

[Hehe, from now on, we the 《Bruno Family》 , are robbing this club!!!]

[I know there is money in this club! I want you to stand still, and put all your money in this bag!]

The men who suddenly appeared, raised their guns loudly in an aggressive manner, and began speaking loud words.

I wonder if they have taken some kind of drug.

The men seemed to be in a state of excitement, and kept uttering aggressive words one after the other.

[Peaceful times, right.]

[Don’t worry about it, Ars. In any times, it’s a reasonable thing for peace to be broken.]

But still, some people are very unlucky.

The seats on the second floor where we are, is in a VIP room, and all the glass walls in the room are magic mirrors.

I don’t think the people downstairs imagined that they had members of the 《Nameless》 on the second floor of the club.
