Episode 64
“Chief, this.”
Doran Slade, head of the 1st Special Operations Division, accepted the folder held out by his subordinate wizard Runen.
It was a damage report and a list of dead people. The results of a recent murder spree in a remote branch of the Alliance were recorded.
Doran, who was scanning the list of victims, was soon able to quickly grasp the implications of this document.
“Hmm, it was disguised as a retaliatory attack, but it seems the goal was to obtain information. As a bonus, it’s a trick.”
“That’s right. And take a look at the names of those missing or dead.”
There was no contact with the victims. Their origins were different, their ages were different, and their areas of activity were polar opposites.
There was only one thing they had in common: their names were all Lane.
The crows are looking for Raine Ludwig… … Doran’s eyes opened slightly, revealing cold pupils.
“I wonder what happened in
“Wouldn’t it be better to take protective measures? “There are now only two adventurers named Reign, including Reign Wife.”
“No, if we intervene here, they will cover their tails immediately. “I wait until I get a bite.”
If my guess is correct… … Tureina’s inner circle is already inside
“But wouldn’t lane counterfeiting be too dangerous if we waited any longer?”
“well. “We’ll have to see that, but it probably won’t be like he’s going to die or anything.”
Reign Ludwig is a strong character who does not fit his young age and is outside the standard. Maybe it’s because she inherited her magical talent from her parents… … If she grows up smoothly, she will most likely become a leader in the magic world.
So what I have to worry about now is the other lanes.
“I will go this way. You will wait near the school with Miss Tyrinthid. Intervene as soon as a black magic reaction is detected.”
“yes.”
“By the way, try to capture him alive if possible. “I need to find out how they plan to resurrect Rin.”
I know the purpose. The problem is the process and means to achieve that goal.
The opponent is a shaman who accomplished legendary feats. Even if you assume the worst, there is no shortage of things.
He is smiling but thinking darkly.
‘I don’t know if we need to resurrect Rin to stop such a monster.’

“This is a riot!”
As soon as the auditorium convocation was over, I visited President Burinake’s office.
After teaching Cassena, going in and out of the president’s office became a daily routine, and the secretary didn’t do anything to stop him, but simply announced Lane’s visit and let him in.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Madelia Page joked shamelessly.
“I mean, enrolling Miss Kasena into school. And I said that the map… … ?”
“I just followed a long tradition. “After I enrolled you, you just happened to be the top cadet.”
Is this really a coincidence? Would Madelia have made such an unreasonable move if someone else had been the senior?
Madelia must have read this expression of mixed emotions as she sighed and smiled bitterly.
“Actually, it is true that I was able to make this decision because of you. “Kasena wanted that too.”
“Even though… … .”
“She’s my daughter, so she definitely has the aptitude. “What I want you to do is help me avoid being embarrassed on this year’s final exam.”
Is it as easy as it sounds?
Cassena was clearly of the best bloodline as a wizard, but in her current situation, it was doubtful whether she could compete with other cadets.
As I closed my eyes tightly from the pain in my head, Madelia finally spoke in a soothing tone.
“Of course, I’m not so cruel as to simply ask for a give. “Would you like to make a second deal with me?”
“yes?”
“Kennis, bring the gold belt.”
Then Secretary Kenneth brought a badge made of purple silk. It was an item luxuriously embroidered with the Page family crest, intertwined golden roses.
“This is a pass that allows unlimited access to the Central Library’s banned books list. Of course, it only goes up to the third type, Heom.”
“???!!!”
“You are the same type as me… … I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. “What do you think? Don’t you want to have this?”
Like waving a fish in front of a cat, I couldn’t help but drool as I saw Madelia waving the badge in front of me.
With such good deal conditions, there is no reason not to respond. How could things turn out so easily and so well?
Think about it. I tried so hard to get just one of Tureina’s books… … You can read those books as much as you want?
‘Wait, this is the devil’s temptation.’
It’s the devil’s temptation.
It’s the devil’s temptation… … Ugh, I just can’t shake it off.
His trembling hand was reaching out towards the curtain without permission.
“Actually, I wish I could teach you more, Miss? “You can’t miss out on such a great opportunity.”
Then Madelia closed her eyes as if she was dumbfounded.
“I was worried what would happen if he resembles his father and has a stubborn side, but I like this.”
He soon smiled sinisterly. The contract has been concluded.
“Of course, I used it as bait, but this is only a tip of the reward I have to give you.”
“Reward? “What reward?”
“Are you trying to be humble? Hehe, we’ll talk about this after the final exams are over. “You and I will both be busy without a break until then.”
I didn’t think deeply about what he meant. Because right now, it was more important to enjoy the feel of this badge in my hand.
“Hehe.”
Without any intention of hiding his expression, he continued to caress the badge and left the president’s office, closing the door.
“Why are you smiling like an idiot?”
Then, I heard a voice from next to me, but it was only for a moment, and I blinked. Because Kasena Page was standing there wearing her school uniform.
‘Hmm, it suits you better than expected.’

One thing that sets it apart is that it doesn’t have a pure white school uniform cape?
I don’t know if it’s because it’s uncomfortable when using crutches, or if they just don’t wear them because they’re cumbersome.
As I was looking up and down at the outfit wearing only a blouse, Kasena did not try to hide her excitement.
“Today is a school tour! “Rain is my guide, so I’ll make sure to let him look around everywhere!”
They talk so much that my ears hurt. That’s why a sigh came out naturally.
“what! “Why are you sighing!”
“Miss, don’t you know what situation you are in right now?”
“what… … What?”
“Final exams are in two weeks. And I was asked to prevent her from being embarrassed during the final exam. But school tours? Miss, do you have 72 hours a day?”
Making fun of other people’s mistakes has been his specialty since his days in Lin.
‘I’ve been restraining myself since becoming Lane.’
Kasena muttered with a sour expression and then pouted her lips innocently.
“Oh, I know! “I was just playing a prank!”
Okay, okay.
It’s really a joke, right?
But I don’t know why he looks downcast.
“So where are you going now?”
“I have to go to class. “I skipped today because of the information session, but it is now first period class time.”
“Oh, I know!”
I thought I was going to feel down again, but when I started to see Yongmyeonggwan, the first-year undergraduate building, my eyes began to shine brightly.
He even busily tidied up his uniform while watching the cadets entering Yongmyeonggwan from afar.
I would have thought that I would never be able to come to
“Now, wait a minute!”
As he tried to open the classroom door, Kasena quickly stopped him, placed his hand on his chest, and quietly caught his breath.
She was a girl who still had the honesty and shyness of a six-year-old girl.
As I was thinking about that, I finally nodded to show that I was ready.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The classroom, which was noisy with stories about Cassena, turned into bitter silence as soon as the two people appeared.
The fact that these two people appeared so friendly was also the moment when it was proven that the rumors that had previously spread throughout the city were true.
Christa Warden was also one of the people who watched the scene blankly, and Gertrude chattered next to her because she thought it would be a very funny situation.
“Oh my goodness! Does that mean it was true that the two of you tried to run away at night?”
Lane wasn’t really interested in other people’s gossip, but he was a little worried about Kassena, who was very conscious of other people’s opinions. But it seems she didn’t need to.
“Wow… … !”
I hold my breath in admiration. It is a classroom, a classroom. I’m in the classroom I’ve always dreamed of… … Kasena pointed to the window seat.
“When it comes to class, it’s a window seat! I’ll sit there! So, Lane, follow me!”
Cassena’s innocent adventure was immediately blocked by a huge mountain. I walked to the mountain called Christa, arrogantly crossing my arms.
“Rain, you need to talk to me.”
Casena instinctively felt a strange repulsion at the fact that Lane’s name was called in such a friendly manner. Her Casena eyes narrowed.
“Rain is talking to me?”
As Kasena stood in front of Lane, Christa’s eyebrows naturally rose. The two people’s gazes intertwined and electricity crackled.
“It only takes a moment… … yo. this?”
Even Christa was belatedly given an honorific title. The five Electors are the only families that do not need to use honorifics to the Page family.
“Do you even have 72 hours in a day?! Wait a minute, where is the same thing? “Final exams are coming soon!”
Rain was dumbfounded and glared at the back of Cassena’s head. That’s the nagging I said earlier. Are you in a position to say that?
“Well, that’s true, but… … .”
Christa was momentarily dumbfounded by the unexpected conclusion.
‘We had a fight… … !’
‘Warden and Page… … !’
‘Because of Confucius’ humanity… … !’
The cadets in the classroom gasped, Hubert, a later exponent of the Rohwinam school, frowned as if he was dumbfounded, and Gertrude covered her mouth and suppressed the laughter that burst out.
As if he thought he was going with the flow, Kassena looked at Christa in detail and then looked back at Lane with suspicious eyes.
“Rain, who is this evil-looking woman?! “Are you friends with this guy?”
“Oh, a villainess? If you listen and listen, there is nothing you can’t say! “As for the villainess, she’s probably the one who says such things to people she’s met for the first time!”
Actually, I met him once.
But while Christa at that time had no special skills or looks, Kasena was remembered by everyone just for her hair color.
“That one? There is no need to say more about saying such undignified words! So, what is your relationship with Lane?”
“Well, the relationship… … ? I’m your rival! Rivals among archrivals fiercely competing to graduate at the top of their class! “So what is your relationship with that guy?”
“funny! Are you Lane’s rival? I am an employer. Lane is my tutor! If I had to really ask, would I say you are the master?”
Lane, who didn’t care whether the two got heated or not, drew a firm line as soon as his problem became involved.
“No, that’s not true.”
There was no one who was not taken aback by those words, such as having a tutor of the same age, but the person who was most shocked was Christa Warden, who learned life through novels.
Tutor, tutor?
For Christa, being a tutor of the opposite sex was the perfect greenhouse for love to grow. How many stories is this a regular topic?
“Now I understand. “You’ve been tormenting our lady so much for these 40 days, and Prince Lane has been straddling something else?”
Gertrude nods as if she understands and summarizes the argument in a bizarre way.
“What nonsense, you again!”
Christa raised her fist, and Gertrude quickly ran away.
But it wasn’t wrong. Krista always came to school and looked at Lane, and Krista worked hard at math, saving up her sleep at night… … .
Christa, who was framed by Gertrude, instantly became the center of attention from all her classmates, and her face turned bright red.
“I, I, I… … .”
“me?”
Lane, who was not interested in the bickering of the women of this family that everyone was paying attention to (she was not very interested in other people in the first place), sat down and took out a textbook while yawning lazily.
“I told you that men and women are the same for all ages!!!”
Christa grabbed Lane’s collar tightly and started shaking it like crazy.
“You man! Why don’t you study, huh?! What are you doing shooting me?! What about the match against this Christa Warden?!”
“No, I guess you could say this was a force majeure… … .”
“Force majeure is freezing! “Don’t you know that men and women are immovable for seven years of age?”
