Chapter 27 – This Entrance Exam Is Safe!(5)

I gently grabbed Karla’s trembling hand and smiled as softly as possible.

“Let’s do what we learned then for just three months.”

I assure you, no one will doubt it if you show it the way it looked when you first bought it.

Carla nodded her head as if she finally understood.

“If that’s the case, I’m sure it will be as the master said. Everyone will think that the owner is a very bad master.”

“Right? In the meantime, let’s go buy some meal replacement pills.”

“…….”

Carla stares at her without saying anything.

But I think she knows what she’s talking about when you see her moist eyes, slightly parted lips, and languidly drooping shoulders, as if she’s about to burst into tears.

Raising her hand to Carla’s, she lightly kissed it on top of her slender finger.

“Uh? Uh… ?”

She smiled at Carla’s bewildered look.

“Carla. You’re stupid?”

“Oh, isn’t it? Isn’t Carla an idiot?”

“I guess that’s right… Lets think. Why am I bothering you right now?”

“… You don’t want to look bad on Glenciel-sama?”

“Wrong. Oh, and you can call her Elisha when she’s not around. Am I doing the same right now?”

I’m saying this in a place where you can’t see it anyway, so why should I be so careful?

“Honestly, the name Glenciel is a bit difficult to pronounce. It’ll be fine if you’re a little careful at the academy later.”

“Oh, yes… Then, if it’s not because of Elisha, is there any other reason?”

“Of course it is.”

He pointed at Carla, who tilted her head with a bewildered expression.

“Are you doing this to not bother you? But would you really only feed medicine instead of rice? It’s all bluffs, bluffs. He said he didn’t gain weight thanks to his mana core anyway, so let’s eat secretly in the dorm later.”

“…… !”

As if she had been struck by lightning, Karla stiffened. She is barely breathing as if she is quite startled.

She giggled at the sight and took a sip of the pre-decanted water.

Widely.

When she put her cup down on the table, Karla, who was finally relieved of her rigidity, asked with her lips twitching.

“I, really? Is it really for that reason?”

“Uh. Even if you bully me, I will bully you, I have no intention of doing it because someone else told me to.”

Wholly mine.

Where can there be such a sweet echo to me, a stranger?

I never intend to compromise on this part.

“Huh, heehehe..Hehe….”

Carla laughed heartily with a cheeky expression, wondering what was so good about words full of exclusivity.

But it wasn’t long before it was covered with worry.

“Ugh… Master? I was really happy with those words from a moment ago, but it was so good that I want to record it with a recording crystal ball and listen to it every night before going to sleep, but one day I want to bury the crystal ball in the grave when I die….”

No, how much do you like it?

While she keeps notes in her head of Karla’s taste, which she unintentionally came to know. Carla continued her words in a worried tone.

“But wouldn’t that put your master’s reputation at risk?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Wasn’t Professor Mei Keane, the examiner for her entrance exam, also in a favorable mood toward Karla?

Perhaps there are still people who like Carla among the seniors and professors who have a relationship with Carla.

Even if that’s not the case, treating Karla like a ‘slave’ in front of other people’s eyes is degrading to her, or what should I say….

Okay. It could be said that it was more like an act of revealing her own vulgarity.

Everyone masturbates, but if you shout ‘I fuck 3 times a day!’ Outside, that’s crazy.

Everyone can guess how to use it since I bought Karla as her slave, but it is a completely different thing for me to show it myself.

Of course, the reputation around you is bound to get worse.

“But that’s all.”

If you don’t know if it’s Earth, slavery is legal in this world. And slaves are treated as non-human objects or livestock.

No matter how I treat Carla, she can’t use it as an excuse to put her at a disadvantage.

“Of course I would frown at her, and swear at her behind her back. If Carla still likes you, she can ask you to do it in moderation.”

But no one will try to force me to go so far as to break her school rules just because she’s annoying.

The academy’s status in this world is not at a level that a mediocre noble can compare.

Few people have the ability to do that, and even those who have the ability won’t take a risk on something that doesn’t pay off.

If there was such a person, she would have tried to help Carla when she was enslaved because she was the daughter of a cultist.

“Was there anyone like that?”

“… No. There was none.”

Carla shook her head with a sullen expression.

No wonder. Cultists are an absolute evil in this world, and the academy is where you learn how to kill such cultists and monsters.

Even if it was regretful, no one would have tried to do something for her for Karla.

“It will be the same this time. Will someone who didn’t come out then come out this time? Elisha, who said she would only make you miserable, is an unusual case.”

“Ha, but the master is a commoner. I bet there are people who take it lightly on you and argue with you, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. After all, the academy is where people live. But think about it, Carla. If I’m bothering you, it won’t look like Elisha’s orders to others.”

“Right. You may not know it at first, but with time everyone will know who the master is trying to show it to.”

“Won’t the kids who are sensitive to class enough to take my position lightly and argue with Elisha?”

“Ah.”

“Above all, this is the most important thing… When I graduated from the academy, the reputation around me meant nothing.”

After all, reputation is important to keep in mind after graduating from the academy… In the first place, by that time, the world will be standing at the crossroads of perishing or not.

Even those who graduated from the academy would die without being able to cope with it properly, so how much help would it be if the guys who were still enrolled were helpful?

What I have to worry about is not the reputation of an unspecified number of people, but only a few prospective recruits who will stay with me until the end.

And all of them are facing odd circumstances.

In the game, it’s called an individual story, and it felt like a sub-quest that had to be solved when making a good impression.

Immediately, Elisha also had a story that her mage tower disintegrated and she fell into a state of collapse in an instant, and she raised such Elisha back up again.

Anyway, that’s why it doesn’t matter too much if my reputation is bad. At least my ears tickled a little?

Well, I can’t tell you this far, but….

“Anyway, do you understand roughly now?”

“Yes. Anyway, after graduation, my master will become a great wizard that no one dares to put down, so it’s okay! Also, master! You have an idea!”

Carla, who considers me a magical genius like her ancestor, will understand.

Carla, who smiled brightly as if expecting her, was gently brushing her cheek with the back of her hand.

Suddenly, a question came to mind.

“Carla. Come to think of it, I have a question for you.”

“Your master. What’s going on?”

“Why the hell does Elisha hate you so much? Did she ever give in when she was young?”

In H&A, settings such as Elisha’s personality and her values ​​were shown, but the story of her past was not told.

Perhaps… ?

Carla shakes her head at my reasonable suspicion of her and violently flutters her white blonde hair.

“Yes?! No! No! I never did! We used to be good friends! … Until one day Elisha avoided me.”

What Carla said next was quite typical.

Carla and Elisha, who had frequent encounters as the daughters of the famous magic family and the successors of the Mage Tower.

When she was young, she just got along with her older sister and younger brother, but as they get older, the two become distant.

The reason is the background of the two.

Lindelheit, a master of magic that no one can match with elemental magic, and Sylvan’s tower, which is said to be the best magic tower of the elves and has not yet surpassed the spirit magic of the past.

Sylvan Magic Tower unilaterally harbored an inferiority complex towards the Lindelheit family, and this was passed on to Elisha.

“I didn’t just drive Elisha away from Sylvan’s tower or anything like that. It was just that she, as Elisha, had no choice but to be conscious of me.”

“It’s common.”

“Right. From my point of view, Elisha seemed to be born with the same level of talent as me, but… She couldn’t surpass me on a similar level.”

Carla’s words that each other’s talents themselves are on the same level wouldn’t be a lie.

In fact, Elisha, who has been raised until the second half of the game, vomits the spirit of becoming a great wizard in her mid-twenties.

She would not be inferior to Karla, who had heard the voice of the great wizard of the future.

“But there is an age difference. I and Elisha have similar talents, and if I work at the same level, it is only natural that I, who was born 4 years earlier, excels in my skills, right?”

As Carla said, it was natural. However, Elisha could not take this for granted.

An inferiority complex that grows day by day, a rival who has fallen before he can decide the male and female until the end. And the feeling of having lost where to go.

“Of course, I didn’t ask directly, so it’s all my guess… Maybe that’s why it’s crooked.”

Carla said so in a slightly melancholy voice.

Come to think of it, Elisha as an individual story had a very strong obsession with her best.

Even if she’s not necessarily magic, equipment, furniture, meals, connections, etc.

She wanted the best in everything, and that’s why she despaired greatly in front of a broken reality.

Well, she later said that when she becomes the best wizard that will go down in her history, everything she puts on will naturally become the best, and it ends with shedding her obsession and awakening a new characteristic.

While sorting out her old memories for a while like that.

Smart smart

The dish I ordered arrived in no time.

“The timing is good too. We’ll think about the rest later, let’s eat for now.”

“Yes! Can I really order more, Master?”

“Yes. Eat a lot to survive the night. It’s been a while, so I don’t intend to end it all at once.”

“… Ah.”

Could it be because he had unintentionally lived a celibate life in order to focus on magic for the past few days while moving by carriage?

There are a lot of things piled up.
