EP.24 Dorothy (1)
Morning sunlight seeps through the curtains.
The Astrean family’s exclusive maid, Mary. A spirit like a sword.
I got off the bed and folded the blanket neatly.
Next, have a light meal of sandwiches and hot coffee. Washing. Change into maid uniform. Comb your long purple hair neatly with a hairbrush.
The entire process was carried out like a machine. The place where she stayed was neat, and all her objects were neatly angled.
I looked at the full-length mirror and tied my neatly combed hair into a round bun. Check your clothing. There is no problem.
The 20-year-old maid tidied herself up and left the maid’s quarters.
In a room on the 4th floor of the Charles Building, the highest class dormitory at Marchen Academy, there was a young lady she served.
The young lady was always up on time. She was just sitting on her bed dozing off with her long pale green hair tangled.
Even while he was dozing off, the blanket was always neatly folded. This is due to the influence of her father and matriarch, Gerald Astrean.
Mary ordered the lady to have breakfast. Since he has a big appetite, he eats happily.
After the young lady washes up and puts on her school uniform, I straighten her clothes, make her sit in front of the dressing table, and make her face look pretty. Next, she ties her pale green hair into two pigtails with a black cloth.
Miss Kaya Astreant is perfect today too.
Mary was satisfied.
“merry.”
“Yes, miss.”
But why?
Kaya looked back and forth at her reflection in the mirror and made a very unhappy expression.
‘what?’
Your outfit should be perfect today, right?
“Something, a little bit today…”
“I will correct it.”
Kaya didn’t care much about being stylish. Just because he was from the family of the Duke of Astrean, he was beautifully decorated by a maid to protect his attire.
That’s why Kaya has never once expressed dissatisfaction with Mary’s work.
In addition, Kaya’s make-up appearance, created by Mary’s hand, has always been praised by many.
Her dressing up skills played a big part in why Mary followed Kaya to Marchen Academy and was selected as the exclusive maid.
In other words, his ability to make Kaya look the prettiest is his pride. She was Mary’s pride that could not be surpassed by anyone.
Therefore, Mary could not help but feel doubt.
Did I make some mistake without realizing it?
···no. I looked closely at the girl’s reflection in the mirror again, but there was no problem with my work.
The two-parted hairstyle had perfect left and right symmetry. The makeup with a student-like, innocent yet elegant concept was also successful. As usual, a pretty girl was there.
So what’s the problem? What on earth did I miss?
“I’m trying to change my style too… what do you think?”
“···yes?”
“A little more feminine…?”
Lady Kaya raises her eyes and speaks as if the expression was uttered after careful thought.
Mary instinctively guessed the reason why the young lady was suddenly upset.
“Miss, may I ask why you want to change your style?”
“just… “I want to decorate it too.”
“… … !”
I’m feeling embarrassed. That girl, Kaya, decorates herself.
Mary sighed.
I wanted to accept it as a simple desire to become prettier, but Lady Kaya’s appearance these days was too suspicious.
He suddenly looked dazed, as if he had been scolded, or he lay in bed at bedtime and kicked the blanket, saying, ‘Why did you do that?’ and let out the door…
‘ah… .’
Recently, the most suspicious memory came to Mary’s mind.
When I entered the room to give tea to Miss Kaya, I saw her looking out the window in silence.
Why did I knock on the door and say I wanted to go in, but there was no answer?
Mary secretly went to the side and watched. Lady Kaya had a blank expression on her cheeks and was staring at a man with blue and silver feet who was passing by on the street.
At that time, when Mary said once more that she had brought tea, Miss Kaya looked startled and embarrassed.
“merry?”
Finally, the time has come.
It was clear that Lady Kaya was attracted to the blue-silver haired man.
‘Since when?’
Was it during the last night out?
That day was the day Mary’s life shortened. She was so worried that she thought she was going to die.
Fortunately, Kaya returned safely, and since she said something like ‘I came to protect the peace of the academy…’, I didn’t understand the English language, but I assumed that nothing special had happened.
It was after that that Lady Kaya started to become untidy.
At that time, what if I had stayed out overnight with a man outside of my home, that blue-silver-haired man?
‘It’s a mistake.’
He would not have committed an unhealthy act. If that had been the case, it would have been clearly visible on the young lady’s face.
However, it was obvious that just the fact that she had spent the night with a man must have been a huge stimulus to Kaya, who was not immune to heterosexual relationships.
Treat the man as if you were taking care of him until he graduates from the academy. That is the order of the head of the family, Gerald Astrean.
The image of the head of the family in fiery anger is clearly depicted.
Mary touched her forehead. Her head was already pounding.
“···You look best in this look right now.”
“Is that so? Then what…”

Kaya blushed and twirled her hair, which was tied into two pigtails, with her fingers.
The atmosphere seemed to show no regard for Mary’s burning inner heart.
······
─ ‘Astrean family code of conduct! What’s the third one?!’
─ ‘Second daughter, Kaya Astrean! Respect your teacher! Respect your seniors! Behave politely towards those who respect you! ‘Maintain your appearance!’
The family code of conduct engraved in Kaya Astrean’s mind by Gerald Astreand.
The inner meaning of the third of them is:
‘Let’s cultivate ourselves so that in the future, we can become a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with people we respect.’
However, Kaya realized that she was not putting those teachings into practice properly.
‘I want to look good to Isaac.’
There was only one person Kaya was currently admiring: Isaac.
Did you show him neat behavior and a decent appearance? no.
First of all, conduct. All I could see was immaturity.
When I went to defeat the ant demon.
Every time I remember the foolish side I showed to Isaac, I find myself kicking the blanket and saying, ‘Why did you do that?’
Also, what do I look like? Haven’t you always been wearing the same decorations? Even in front of the person I admired, I didn’t feel any different from my childhood self.
“Keuung…”
morning. Kaya arrived at Class A classroom to take class.
Her mind was full of Isaac. However, the fact that she rarely met him these days made her feel dejected.
Isaac had a halo just by looking at her, but she didn’t have the courage to get close to that halo.
He even told me not to stalk him again… no, not to observe him.
If he had reached the level of an archmage, he would easily have noticed Kaya’s approach. There was absolutely no time to observe.
All you have to do is talk normally.
Ever since I returned from defeating the ant demons, I felt nervous whenever I was in front of Isaac, and it felt psychologically difficult.
‘The Astrean family code of conduct… was this so difficult to follow, father?’
I was thinking about changing my appearance at least a little bit to see if Isaac would like me.
When Mary told me that the twin tails she usually wore looked best on me, I couldn’t say anything. This is because Kaya, even in her own opinion, had no talent for decorating.
‘I want to meet Isaac…’
All you have to do is just go, so why is it so difficult? Even though you know the answer, it is difficult to put it into practice.
Kaya covered her head and groaned.

decided.
Let’s give Kaya a gift.
She was a great help when I went to kill the reclusive Garzia. If you don’t give me anything in return, I won’t feel at peace.
However, since she has a surplus of gel and does not have a luxury barrier, she would not like financial compensation very much.
‘Then, should I give you an item exclusive to the heroine?’
In
Kaya is also one of the official heroines. I knew what gifts she would like.
The best among them is definitely ‘Armana’s Wand’. Among the heroine final level weapons, this is the only item that can be obtained from a secret store.
A wand made of ‘Armana’, an 8-star giant tree beast that protected the Great Forest. Among the weapons of
In other words, if you have it, you will be able to respond to plant attribute mana much faster.
[Elemental Fire Power] and [Elemental Efficiency] of existing elemental magic will also improve noticeably.
Kaya, who has a great sense of improvement, would jump up and down in love the moment she received it.
‘It’s expensive as expected… .’
I purchased Armana’s Wand from the secret shop and left.
Armana’s wand was very expensive. The price is a whopping 120,000 gel. So, the beginning of
‘I’m surprised there’s still money left.’
Even though 120,000 gels were used, there was still quite a bit of gel left.
All materials such as textbooks and high-quality writing materials are provided by the university. As long as you don’t overspend, you won’t have to worry about living expenses.
As I walked, I looked at Armana’s wand. On the outside, it had a design that looked like they had cut down some grey-brown wood and roughly inserted a magic stone into it. I wonder if it would feel a little different if someone with excellent mana perception caught it.
I’ll have to give it to Kaya later when the time is right.
I went to the dormitory, put Armana’s wand in the box, and then headed to the corner of the garden as usual.
Now that you’ve finished all your classes for the day, it’s time to focus on training.
I arrived at a corner of the garden and took a seat.
‘For some reason, I felt like I leveled up today.’
My motivation welled up.
After light stretching, I created [Frost Flame] on both hands.
… …

[Unique characteristics]
– Destroyer
An evening where the night sky is slowly fading away the glow of the sunset. Garden corner.
The grass was frozen around me. It was a trace of magic being used to increase the proficiency of [Ice Blast], [Frost Flame], and [Ice Wall].
I ended up using [Ice Blast] once because a third of my total magical energy was lost, but anyway.
Since the increase in proficiency is proportional to the amount of magic consumed, the proficiency will increase well even if you use it less often than other magics.
And while I was in the middle of using magic, the level up system window appeared in front of me.
The level has increased by 1.
‘Big.’
Joy came rushing in.
Finally, the magic power explosion section, level 51. The magic power increased to 1000 at once! What had been a gradual increase has now increased to half of the original horsepower amount.
[Ice Blast] consumes 200 magic power each time it is used. So, if I used it 3 times, almost all my magic power was gone, but now it is possible to use it 4 or 5 times.
Moreover, as the level increases, the increase in horsepower increases so sharply that the expression ‘exponential’ becomes meaningless.
I have to go to the Isaac Coin rice cake table~.
“uh?”
While I was happily looking at the system window, a new system window suddenly appeared and overlapped on top of it.
[I have acquired the passive skill [Demon Detection] through the effect of the unique characteristic [Destroyer]!]
Oh right. If you have the unique characteristic [Destructor], you are given a passive skill depending on your level.
By the time I got [Destroyer] in the game, I was almost at a high level, so I overlooked it because I was learning the skill retroactively.
Open the status window, go to [Skill Tree <
[Demon detection (★5)]
:: Detects nearby demons and determines their identity. As the level rises, the range at which demons can be detected increases.
Type: Passive Skill
Attribute: neutral
Acquisition conditions
– Lv 51 (O)
– Possesses unique attribute [Destructor] (O)
I know where and how the demons will come out in the future, though.
I’m not sure if they’ll do what I want. So [Demon Detection] may be helpful in some cases.
Let’s invest the newly acquired stat 2 in [Body Training Efficiency].
I have to combine training and studying, and this routine requires a lot of physical strength. Perhaps thanks to the recent investment in [Physical Training Efficiency], I felt my physical strength increasing significantly. Thanks to this, I felt like my overall training efficiency had increased.
Moreover, [Magic Training Efficiency] is Class A, so there is some room for it.
So, it would be better to invest as much as possible in [Physical Training Efficiency] and aim to become Iron Man Isaac.
[Potential [Body Training Efficiency] has improved from B- to B-level!]
‘good.’
There are now three important events left until the end of the first semester of the first year. Sparring, summoning familiars, and end-of-semester evaluations.
Summoning a familiar is no problem. It could be seen as a very good thing in terms of increasing my power, but there was no crisis.
There is a reason why this crisis-free part is repeated twice. That’s because the last part of the first semester, the Raid God subjugation battle, is disgustingly difficult.
So far, thanks to the [Destructor] trait, I have been overwhelmingly defeating demons, but during the end-of-semester evaluation, I have to be prepared to really die. This is because Thunder God – Gallia is really strong.
The maximum level in
The higher the level, the larger the gap in level 1. In fact, this means that it is impossible to win against Thunder God.
The only way to resolve the situation is to avoid him as much as possible.
The villain of the Raijinjo subjugation part is ‘Vera of the Ministry’. As long as we kill him before he falls behind from Thunder God, the situation is over.
‘I have to train hard.’
So now is the time to focus on training.
I slap my cheeks with both hands to drive away my worries.
I put my fingers together and created a gap between my hands.
Ice mana began to flow through the gap and condense it.
Light blue ice mana begins to condense into high density. It flows quietly like the calm before the storm, gathers in a circle in my hand, and shines softly like moonlight.
In order to use [Ice Blast] with an ordinary Isaac’s body, he had to spend time in this posture.
It takes approximately 5 seconds to condense magical power as quickly as possible and use [Ice Blast]. To increase power, you can spend more time preparing.
At my current level, condensing to 15 seconds is the limit. After that, the magic power no longer accumulates and leaks out to the surroundings.
Next, I engraved the magic circle of [Ice Explosion] in my head.
If the magic circle of [Ice Explosion] appears in the air, it means that the conditions for magic activation have been met. This time it appeared in front of my hand again.
The light blue mana concentrated in my hand is rotating slowly. It looked like a collection of shining cold air.
Holding it in his right hand, he extended his right arm forward and aimed it into the air.
The magic circle of [Ice Explosion] followed the movement of my right hand. Now shoot this…
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!”
what? scream?
No, it was a mixture of laughter.
I was startled and my concentration was broken, and the concentrated mana was released.
I raised my head. In the sunset sky, a girl was falling at an alarming speed with her witch hat pressed down on her head.
The hem of the school uniform fluttering wildly, the shawl draped over the shoulder.
Her long light purple hair was tied up only at the ends.
I caught a glimpse of her smiling face beneath the hat.
Chararalararang──.
A group of colorful and beautiful starlight flowed from the girl’s feet, and the speed of her fall slowed down drastically.
She lands lightly in front of me.
At the same time, the starlight that was leaking out faded.
“Ahahaha! Ah, it’s fun~.”
She has a pretty and cute appearance, has a lively voice and smiles brightly.
‘oh my god···.’
For a moment, I wondered if I had seen it wrong.
Since I was possessed by
This was someone I didn’t expect would suddenly fall from the sky like this.
It was like meeting a celebrity at an unexpected time.
“huh?”
She seems to have finally noticed my presence and turns her head towards me.
Eyes that seem to contain the universe, star-shaped pupils contain my image.

Psychology: [ ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ ]
Officially, everyone can only use a maximum of two types of elemental properties. The only exception is when you gain fairy power. Like that girl standing right in front of me.
He signs a contract with Stella, the star fairy, and uses a magic with a unique attribute called ‘starlight’. There is no discussion of compatibility as it is a property of its own domain, not derived from the properties of major elements.
That is why she is called the ‘Star Witch’ and is one of the Academy’s strongest forces.
“Hmm, you’re a first year.”
◆◆◆◆◆────
“What were you doing here?”
She adjusts her witch hat and asks with a bright smile.
It was my favorite character, Dorothy Hartnova.
