Elemental Contract (1)

He had to take a break from early morning training for the time being because he was inventing and revising a martial art suitable for Princess Riena.

Now that I’ve figured out Yogi’s characteristics, I’ve been contemplating at the crossroads of whether to suppress them or to strengthen them, so the completion was taking much longer than planned.

The process that I thought would end simply has increased, but creating something is sometimes more enjoyable than anything else.

It is even more so when these people pioneer a path that others have not gone before.

Besides, it also meant that if he could control his spirit as he wished, he would break what was no different from the heavenly sentence imposed on Princess Riena.

Seeing Princess Riena’s appearance like that, even if it wasn’t me, but Master, I wouldn’t have overlooked it.

After all, the religious leader, the Heavenly Demon, is such a being.

I replaced my sleep with breakfast for luck, but there was no such thing as convenience food in this world, so I had no choice but to eat every meal.

“Hello, Prince Carol.”

In the morning, when I went down to the restaurant inside the Helios Hall, I saw Princess Riena bowing her head at me.

“If Her Highness bows her head so easily, others look down on her. Straighten your shoulders proudly.”

In fact, even now, around me.

“Are Her Highness the Princess and that idiot?”

“Could it be… is that the case?”

“Nonsense.”

A lot of misunderstood and outrageous stories were being told.

I’m not interested in what other people say, but the princess is in a position to care about her image.

Even though I didn’t receive the gubae jirye, if you are my disciple as long as you learn martial arts, you are also a disciple.

“No, I don’t care what other people think. I will do what I believe is right. If you don’t like my behavior, tell me to speak up in front of me. Don’t be mean behind the scenes.”

“All right. Do as you please.”

Apparently, my disciple was more courageous than I thought.

I thought you were so timid.

“By the way, would you like to have a meal with me?”

“yes. I was going to go too, so let’s go.”

“Your Highness the Princess.”

After entering the restaurant and eating together, I couldn’t stand it and had no choice but to speak out.

“yes?”

“Excuse me, Her Highness, may I point out something?”

“Yes, as much as you like.”

“Are you always vegetarian like this? The amount of meat seems extremely insufficient.”

A vegetarian nine-tailed fox.

It was not unusual in many ways.

Is the absence of takgi in the body the result of refraining from innate characteristics and even cooking?

Of course that wouldn’t be the case.

“yes. Is there any problem…?”

Princess Riena asked, tilting her head as if she did not notice any problems with her diet.

“yes. there is. Listen carefully. The unification of mind, body and body is the most important. As a result of examining every nook and cranny of Her Highness’s body at dawn at that time, the basic body structure was not very different from that of a human.”

“Uh… every corner?”

Princess Riena asked in confusion with a trembling voice.

“yes. It was definitely confirmed by following the blood chart. This means that you must also thoroughly train your body. The blood course was obviously clean without any tatters, but compared to his excellent air power, his physical abilities, including muscles, were clearly on the weak side as he was less trained.”

“Ah… sure…”

“You won’t be able to feel it now thanks to the enormous energy, but eventually, the higher you go, the more the imbalance between the Qi and the body will get in the way.”

“…”

From noble mtl dot com

Judging by the expression on my face, it seems that my words were too long, so I couldn’t properly grasp my intentions.

“So, I’m just saying you need to eat more meat. Soon, you will have to train with me every morning, so if you eat only vegetarian food like this during your growing period, you will definitely have problems with your body. No matter how mixed-race he is, it’s certain according to what I’ve understood.”

“That… is it?”

“yes. I’ll just set the diet for you. Be sure to eat this much.”

“…yes.”

I don’t know how it happened, but in many ways he was a disciple who needed a lot of work.

Do you have to teach each and every one of these things?

Of course, this was a nostalgic and nostalgic feeling.

It was a completely different feeling to teach from one person to another than to sit down and teach numerous members of the Protestant Church.

Would Master have done this?

They say that you have to become a parent to know the heart of a parent, and that’s how I feel right now.

The academy advocates equality on the outside.

In fact, it was also true to some extent.

However, in any world, in any world, perfect equality does not exist.

Starting with status or wealth, ability, appearance, etc.

It was the same that innate things determine many things, and even more so in a society like this.

Despite the fact that I have the dishonorable title that all nobles in the empire know, that I am the scumbag of the Bernstein family, everyone is silent in front of me and secretly whispers behind my back.

After all, it can be said that it is because of the prestige of the great Bernstein family.

If I had been a commoner or a halfway noble, there would have been an overflow of writers who would start by betting disputes.

There was a little break due to course registration for a while, and the first class after the entrance ceremony could be seen from today.

Wearing a school uniform consisting of a neat uniform and a cape with a purple-blue brooch, on the way to the Southwest Forest, the place of class.

“Are you Selina, the head of admissions?”

“…yes.”

“Flanders? Where is the family on the corner? Anyone ever heard of it?”

“I haven’t heard. Aren’t you a commoner?”

“Don’t insult my family.”

“Uh huh? Look at his eyes, do you want to hit him? Oops, I’m sorry to the chief of admissions!”

“I’m not sorry! I can’t beat the chief of admissions, but if I die, my family will take revenge.”

“…Please move out of the way. I have to go to class.”

“Move aside, I have to go to class, huh? You don’t like it?”

“You don’t like me either?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Tsk.

There were seeds like that everywhere.

Surrounding the not-so-tall, light-blue haired girl, men who were clearly aristocrats with little strength, judging by the accessories she was wearing, were arguing.

Those who want to organize the order at the beginning of the semester.

Since an unknown family took the top spot in admissions, it must have been heartbreaking.

It looks like a simple argument, but in reality it will be close to a calculated action.

He’s pretending not to know, but he’s already done a thorough investigation into what kind of family the Flanders are.

They want to prove that they are superior by asserting the prestige of their family.

It was an incomparably mean heart.

Low things that should not fill their trivial self-esteem even with such things.

However, such people existed everywhere, and it was not a problem for me to intervene.

When I was in Moorim, I’ve seen too many things where one impulsive choice stemming from sympathy led to the worst outcome.

It was clear that if I wasn’t going to take responsibility for sure, I wouldn’t be able to do it because I didn’t have any sympathy.

“Things like bugs, get out of the way and don’t block the road.”

But as long as they got in my way, it was just a completely different matter.

“What are you…!”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry!”

One of the guys who saw my face was startled and panicked, and then half-forced the party and ran away.

“Who is that guy?”

“Be careful with your words. The madman of the Bernstein family. He is the chief of practical skills.”

“That invincibility?”

“okay. It’s not empty words, if you got into a fight and asked for a duel, you could really get beaten to death. There is a saying that the rumor that he is an idiot came from killing people when he was bored.”

“I don’t have any luck at this timing.”

“Isn’t today the only day? That b*tch is lucky.”

Miscellaneous things ran away in a hurry, and I also slowly moved back to the class place.

“thank you.”

As if I was going in the same direction, a woman named Selina was following me, holding a large book the size of her head.

“Don’t be mistaken. It’s only because they’re blocking the road.”

“I know. However, it is true that I received help, so thank you again.”

“Why were you suffering? The difference in skill was obvious, and it would be difficult for them to do anything to you, given the prestige of the family.”

“We Flanders are a small merchant family. And they are the descendants of the great nobility of the upper world. If I did, it would certainly have done my family a disservice.”

“Right.”

Certainly, if you’re a great nobility in the upper world, ruining a small merchant family wouldn’t be a problem.

“And… I just thought it wasn’t the right time yet.”

Selina said, her eyes shining sharply.

After all, I never saw the look in the eyes of those who surrendered.

“yes. It is said that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even if it takes ten years. excellent.”

“Thank you, Prince Carol.”

At least, this little girl who only reached my shoulder was much better than the shabby people who couldn’t stand anything else but the prestige of their family.

As befits a site so large that even a huge lake and a large forest exist within the school, it took a long time just to go to class.

We finally reached the beginning of the forest.

The southwestern forest of the Bachelor, commonly known as the ‘Dark Forest’.

Despite its existence within the academy, the dense, untouched forest created a rather gloomy atmosphere despite the sun rising in mid-sky, with towering spruce, beech, and fir trees blocking the sunlight.

Inside the forest where new shoots sprout on the dry land in spring and wildflowers with strong vitality are blooming everywhere.

Despite the lack of abundant sunlight, the feeling of mystery was strong rather than gloomy.

Except for the small trail leading from the school, it seems more like this because you can hardly feel human interference.

Following the small wooden sign with the class location written on it, I slowly walked through the primeval forest that was thick like a green sea of clouds with Selina, feeling physically and mentally at ease.

“Princess Karl, are you going to take an animology class?”

“okay.”

“okay.”

Selina hugged the book she was holding tighter and said.

“What is that book?”

An energy strong enough to stimulate my nerves was flowing from the book.

“It’s everything Master left me, and it’s a keepsake. The name is said to be the Great Book of Eternal Return. I’m still at a low level… I’ve only signed contracts and haven’t been able to properly draw out the power that’s appropriate for a great book.”

“It seems that Master is not an ordinary person. If only he left something like that as a memento.”

“yes. He liked to study alone, he was very close to a scholar, so he was not well known on the continent, but he was a person who rose to the rank of the Archmage.”

“Right. It is a miracle (奇人). It’s like listening to my teacher.”

My teacher also liked practicing martial arts alone the most.

“Does Prince Carol have a teacher too?”

“It did. He is not in this world.”

“I’m sorry… I didn’t know that.”

“It happened. I asked the question first.”

After talking about this and that, we finally came to an empty lot in the middle of a dense forest.

There were only a few small chairs made of wood in a large place covered with green grass under a huge tree that soared without knowing the end.

In the middle sat a woman with blond hair and pointy ears.

“…Elf?”

Selina said as if surprised.

“You guys came first. Nice to meet you, my name is Eliate, in charge of animology class.”

*

Elf.

It is a race that lives in the old forests of the continent, and now that many forests have been cleared by humans, the number is extremely reduced, and it is said that it is a race that is difficult to find recently.

While waiting for the students who hadn’t come yet, I talked to Eliate for a while, and found out that this forest, like an old forest, has been inhabited by elves for a long time.

Fortunately, the conservation value of the forest was recognized by the imperial family, and they continued to live in this forest without moving.

However, instead of preserving the forest in its entirety as the academy was built, some of the elves living in the forest decided to teach the students as professors at the academy, so Eliate was in charge of animism classes.

Beautiful appearance and clear energy.

It was as if the elf in the story had been embodied as it was.

“In order to make a contract with a spirit, you need the spirit’s favorite energy and a sense to feel it. This is also called spirit affinity.”

Even while Eliate was explaining hard in front of her, seeing so many spirits wandering around her, it was easy to guess why she was assigned to this class.

“There are four basic elemental spirits: water, fire, wind, and earth. However, these are the main summons, and no one knows which spirits will be summoned. There are many kinds of spirits in the vast spirit realm, and there must be spirits that we don’t know about yet.”

From what I could see, there seemed to be a separate world called the spirit realm.

“Unfortunately… without elemental affinity, spirits cannot even be initiated. Moreover, this is more of a congenital factor than an acquired factor. Therefore, if you drop out of this class, there is no penalty. I’m going to try to make a spirit contract one by one starting today, but I hope you won’t be too disappointed if you fail.”

Eliate spoke in a clear, lithe voice, like the chirping of a small bird, so just listening to it made me feel at ease.

“Well then, let’s start with student Carol first.”

After the explanation, Eliate stared at me and called my name.

“You mean that?”

“yes. Please come out here.”
