CHAPTER 19 – KNIGHTHOOD (1)

June 20, 2022 — 7 Comments

The first dungeon practice had already ended.

A total of 141 students from classes A-S.

39 dropouts.

Despite finishing second, Haewon-ryang felt defeated and had a bad aftertaste, so he went straight to the S-Class training ground in the evening.

Even if Eisel hadn’t rushed in at the last minute… finishing was difficult.”

Although Mayu-seong’s power had almost run out, he would have quickly recovered his stamina with a brief break. On the other hand, he himself was almost out of the magic he had prepared, and his mana was also running low, so he wasn’t sure whether he would win or lose if they fought any longer.

“I… I can’t beat him no matter what I do”

Is the wall of talent so thick and high?

He was sloppy about everything, and when he was curious or interested in something, he would touch it.

Then? Ta-da!

The results would surpass even experts who have focused solely on one field for over a decade.

He was always this way. As a result, Mayu-seong always had an apple in his mouth.

‘Sorry; I did it for fun, but I did it better.’

It was a sincere apology. Never even intended to make fun of the other person

So I became even more enraged. The limitations of not being able to win even one battle against a guy who makes no effort.

‘…No, I don’t have time to beat myself up.’ I need to put in more effort.’

He took out his staff and stood in front of the massive fake scarecrow, scattering his magic wildly.

From beginning to end, the unique cold, and cruel magic of designing all the magic and tying the enemy at his own pace was nowhere to be found.

“Haewon-ryang. Why don’t you take it easy?”

“…Princess Hong Bi-yeon.”

Because Hong Bi-yeon was talking to him from behind, Hae Won-ryang, who had been expanding magic for a long time, could barely catch his breath.

He had already used his magic a few times and was in a state of disarray. He could not overcome the ‘total amount of mana’ limitation no matter how much he trained his stamina or studied and practiced magic.

While wildly scattering her flame-based magic, Hong Bi-yeon stood next to Haewon-ryang, telling him to calm down.

Despite the fact that she couldn’t use as many attributes as Haewon-ryang and was weak in design, she was able to present very magnificent magic at the 3rd class level thanks to her massive amount of mana and powerful royal succession magic.

“Did the princess get attacked too?”

“…’Too? Did you also get attacked?”

I flinched, I made a slip of the tongue that I would not normally have done. But Hong Bi-yeon remained silent. She wasn’t the type of person who was bothered by such trivial matters.

“I did. Good. That too for the last place in the grade. It’s killing me.” 

There were many excuses.

The terrain was constantly changing, all of my magic was already known because I was famous, my magic was focused on destruction, my accuracy was low, and my opponent was focused on speed.

In the end, however, the excuse was just that: an excuse.

The fact that Hong Bi-yeon lost because she wasn’t enough didn’t change.

Then I received a point stick and finished third. Despite the fact that I did not win first place……my mother was rather satisfied.

Hong Bi-yeon stabbed the staff on the floor after realizing it was because of Baek Yu-seol’s return of the point stick.

Bang bang!! The target ahead was completely burned down.

Yeah. I was nervous because of my pride when I handed the point sticks to Baek Yoo-seol.

What would have happened if Baek Yu-seol had truly snatched all of the point sticks? What would I have done if I hadn’t made it into the rankings?

My heart was relieved when he returned it.

‘Annoying!’

I didn’t like it. I didn’t dislike Baek Yu-seol; I just hated myself for being scared, anxious, relieved, and ecstatic at every action of a commoner.

‘One day, I’m going to set that annoying face on fire.’

When I imagined that stupid scarecrow’s face as Baek Yu Seol’s, the destructive power of the magic increased unexpectedly.

Furthermore, Hong Bi-yeon remembered the ‘special lecture’ from a few days ago.

‘…pretending to be a good commoner.’

But, to be honest, it didn’t work either.

Surprisingly, after trying to alter my thinking while studying the nonsense quiz, my magic achievement began to soar.

I was able to direct the flames in more varied directions, and I devised a more deliberate strategy for burning the enemy. I was still not confident in solving the ‘three questions of the devil’ problem, but I had made progress.

Her staff came to a halt when her thoughts reached that point.

He was only a commoner at best, had the worst grades, and the worst personality, but… he was the only boy who knew how to compensate for the one flaw she possessed.

Because none of the teachers in the royal family had ever proposed such a unique method as Baek Yu-seol’s.

“Princess.”

At the same time, Hong Bi-yeon’s escort magic knight Yeterin came with a small box.

“Yes. What happened?”

“A parcel has arrived from the artisans. The wand ‘Terifon’ modification has been completed.” “Shall I tell him right now?”

“Uh, yes. It would be better.”

“Then, I will go and tell him.”

After Yeterin said that, as she was about to leave the training ground, Hong Bi-yeon unknowingly grabbed her shoulder.

“…What’s wrong, princess?” 

“Uh… No, leave it. I’ll give it to him. I just happened to have something to do on the way.” 

“I see.” 

As Hong Bi-yeon was handed the box, she let out a deep sigh.

‘I’m crazy…’ 

I’m not sure what I was thinking when I said I’d bring it to him myself.

Anyway, I agreed to do it myself, so I can’t say no.

She made her way to the ‘Second Main Tower,’ where Baek Yu-seol was.

Stella Academy’s exterior resembled a large mansion, but the 12 main towers and 24 star towers scattered throughout gave it the appearance of a castle rather than a mansion.

The first main tower served as the school’s main building, housing the Stellar Academy’s ‘Stella Magic Knights,’ the principal and vice-principal, and the board of directors, while the second main tower housed the faculty’s laboratory.

The fact that he went to the second main tower suggests that he went to see a professor; is there anything like this from the start of the semester? I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m still not sure.

“ Student Hong Bi-yeon. Please fill out the entry form.”

“……”

Hong Bi-yeon, who was about to enter the second main tower, came to her senses.

‘Why am I doing it myself?’

We could meet on campus or at the training ground, but didn’t coming all the way here felt like I, a royalty, was chasing after a commoner?

It was self-deprecating.

“No. I’ll go back.”

Hong Bi-yeon walked out of the main tower gate and sighed.

“It really annoys me in many ways, that commoner….”

“Oh, my princess. What’s going on?”

At the same time, when she heard a familiar voice, Hong Bi-yeon raised her head with a bright smile.

“Ah… it’s been a while, Mr. Hameryl.”

“Whoa, it’s not long, but I’m teaching here.”

Professor Hameryl was a teacher who once taught magic to Hong Bi Yeon in the royal palace. She had a gentle personality and knew how to use elegant magic, so she was more than a role model for Hong Bi-yeon.

She was, in some ways, a true teacher of life. Hong Bi-yeon was sad when she said she was leaving the castle, but it was great to see her again, even in Stella.

“What are you doing at the second main tower?”

“I’m going back.”

“Really? “Well, the professors in the Second Main Tower are all going insane right now.”

“Did something happen?”

“Nothing happened, but because of that student named ‘Baek Yu-seol,’ wizards came to visit him, so it’s very chaotic.”

“……”

It came out again. That name. Hong asked, pretending not to be interested. 

“What’s the matter with the commoner?” 

“I don’t want to say it, but have you ever fought with Baek?”

“That’s right”

“The student did not use any magic.”

“……yes.”

Somehow I bowed my head in shame. The other party wasn’t even sincere, and I still couldn’t beat him. I thought that I had shown an ugliness in front of the teacher I respected.

“You don’t have to. Because the other party was sincere.” 

“What…? But he didn’t even use magic?” 

“It’s because of his ‘belief’.” 

“A belief, what is it…?”

“After seeing the practice today, the principal left a message in person.”

Hong Bi-yeon swallowed her saliva. The great archmage, Eltman Eltwin, was watching the practise. Besides, he left a big word…

“Perhaps the student is to revive the ‘Knighthood’ that had disappeared in the old days.”

“K, Knighthood…?”

Knighthood, a word that had disappeared in old times, but modern people still remembered it. 

This was because most of the heroes in fairy tales who stood up with a blade in their hands and fought evil to protect the world were holding swords.

Even in this world where everything goes back to magic, there was still the dream of being a knight who could wield a sword… but in the end, it was all a dream.

Everyone falls for the charm, but in reality, the sword was really of no use.

In this day and age, where wizards who deal with thunder and lightning, split the ground and fly in the sky, rule the world, they couldn’t exert any power to sharpen their blades.

In other words, knighthood was regarded as a joke these days.

Don’t joke, Hong Bi-yeon wanted to say that, but

‘…that commoner didn’t actually use magic against me.’

He treated the point stick like a sword and dealt with her with only one blinking magic. That’s pretty cool too. <T/N: Looks like she’s really the biggest fangirl of our MC>

In other words, Baek Yu-seol did not play a prank on her but faced the situation with a sincere heart while keeping his beliefs.

Besides, not long ago, in exchange for giving a special lecture, he requested that the academy’s wand be converted into a ‘magic sword’. Would he ask me to remodel that precious, upper-intermediate grade wand just for his taste? He wanted to take up the sword, even giving up all other magic.

But I didn’t know that either, and I was furious, telling him not to joke around with me.

“Is he crazy?”

“A little… yes. Yes.”

If someone tells you that they dream of ‘knighthood’, people will laugh. Or make fun of it. What was knighthood in this day and age?

However, being born as a commoner, he worked hard enough to enter the world’s most prestigious Stellar Academy, and even entered S-Class and had the strength to fight against her, who raked at fifth…

Baek Yu-seol was not joking around, it means that he was sincerely pursuing knighthood.

“But: There will be huge penalties for not using magic in the School of Magic? During magic practice time, he will inevitably receive penalty points, and this and that……”

“Yes. The student knew that and decided to walk this path. Isn’t it simply great? Because he is pursuing a path that others do not take because they are afraid of its difficulty.”

As Hong Bi-yeon’s expression became complicated, Professor Hameryl continued.

“Student Baek Yu-seol has already achieved the great feat of controlling the uncontrollable magic of blinking. Even if he walks the path of a wizard in this way, his name will undoubtedly become well-known. Still, to push himself… I have no choice but to believe his belief.”

Hong Bi-yeon remained silent, and Hameryl apologized for taking so long. She said her goodbyes and walked away.

As the sun began to set, she stood there for a long time, as if nailed to it.

“What are you doing here?”

“uh……..”

Baek Yu-seol walked out of the 2nd main tower’s main gate, chewing on what looked like a medicinal herb root.

A poor, light gait that had nothing to do with knighthood.

‘What exactly is knighthood?’

Hong Bi-yeon shook her head to shake off the previous story. Because the opposing party was just an unlucky commoner.

“I’m not here because of you.”

“Who said that?” 

“…Take this.” 

“Oh, Terifon? Hey. Can I have the box? It would be expensive if I sold it.”

Hong Bi-yeon ignored whatever Baek Yu-seol had to say.

It was because she believed that if I stayed here any longer, she would be swayed by that strange commoner’s pace.
