The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

75 – Orbit

Three days have passed since you challenged the room of trials. I’ve tried many times in the meantime, but not a single member has overcome the first ordeal yet.

I even tried to attack Racoonta using dimension jump as a gamble, but couldn’t control his speed. He even crashed into a wall and died.

Basically, she was several steps behind Racoonta in terms of spearmanship, stamina, and speed.

As I was thinking about how to defeat Racoonta, I heard Lycan’s voice.

“Now, in two weeks, the real grade test will begin. Are you all preparing hard? I don’t doubt that there will be a paid class in our class.”

While saying that, I averted my gaze from the figure of the lycan who secretly sent me a look of pressure.

Rating test. It was the longest episode in the novel.

For two days, there is a test on the theory. Fortunately, the combat department does not account for a large portion of the theoretical grades compared to other departments.

After the theory test is over, the remaining 3 days are divided into departments and grade tests are conducted. This year, if it goes according to the novel, it will be a battle royale on an island.

After the 5-day grade test is over. The top 4 students from each department are selected, and a total of 16 students compete for the position of top grade over the weekend.

At this time, the academy will be completely open so that anyone in the empire can watch the duel. The senior year final match was such a big event that the academy and capital city thought it was a festival.

Just like the fact that it is an academy where the talents of the continent are gathered and that the top students of the year made their name known to the continent after graduation.

It was a place where various guilds, imperial families, and aristocrats could see their young talents with their own eyes.

However, if the main reason why the senior year match is called an event is the fact that it is an official ‘gambling’ organized by the Imperial Family.

In particular, the first year senior match, which had many new faces, was the most popular, mixed with various things such as information guild fights going on behind the scenes and anticipation for the appearance of new heroes.

The appearance of ‘Roel’ last year gave a big shock to people. Even Roel’s grade chief dividend rate was 38 times, so only modists who knew information about Roel in advance had a lot of fun.

If it’s Roel, he’ll get the position of the head of the grade again this time, as planned.

First of all, there was a low probability that I would be suspended like Lycan’s suspicion. As a reward for the previous practice, he was able to get additional points in the grade test, and the magic problem was also solved.

To be honest, it’s because Racoonta is strong, among the first year combat club students, there were only a handful of people who could avoid a spear stabbed from behind.

Rather than worrying about the test. If I got a good score this time, I could only think of being praised by Luna.

At that time, I was thinking of revealing the fact that I was dating to the people around me.

After all the classes, I met Rosalyn waiting outside her classroom.

“Ross, I need to talk to you about research.”

We didn’t make a separate appointment, but we went in looking for an empty classroom.

“I checked all of Scholar Lawton’s research materials. We are now testing the theory of a cure.”

As she laid her breasts on her desk, she desperately met her gaze at the figure of Rosalyn who said that.

“It’s fast. As expected, senior Rosalyn… !”

As expected, entrusting Rosalyn with this job was a good choice. Rosalyn, who had a friendly smile and heheheh at my compliments, remembered something about her, so she took something out of her bag and held it up.

“And among the research materials, I found a magic book left by Scholar Lawton.”

I was puzzled by Rosalyn’s words. Did Lawton leave a magic book?

Without much thought, I accepted the green magic book Rosalyn gave me and checked the title.

[Growth through magical power amplification] – Author Eselmund Lawton.

Once I checked the title, I realized what kind of magic book it was. It was a magic book with the vine magic that Lawton mainly used. It was also what Lawton was researching when he heard the genius of the Green Mage Tower.

Come to think of it, I’ve been thinking about choosing magic amplification with the power of Geass for a long time. What Lawton was researching was growth through magical power amplification, so coincidence is such a coincidence-

I felt a strange feeling, as if something had pierced my skin and stuck in my heart. It felt like my heart was being squeezed, as if the floor beneath my feet had turned into a swamp, and I felt like I was being sucked into something.

Growth through my magic amplification and Lawton’s magic amplification. Is this really just a coincidence? No, it’s like a trajectory someone made….

“… Ro, Ross?”

I came to my senses at Rosalyn’s call. I felt like I was momentarily buried in one thought, but now my mind has turned white and nothing happened.

“It’s okay, it’s okay… ?”

I was embarrassed to see Rosalyn looking at me with a fearful expression.

“Yes… ?”

“Oh, no…. Because I don’t look good… I must have been very tired.”

At Rosalyn’s words, I scratched the back of my head. I was mentally tired from having my heart pierced by Racoonta three times a day these days.

Sweep your face down and make a nonchalant expression. Rosalyn felt her lightly sigh of relief.

“Anyway, it was a lot of hard work. I’ll buy you something delicious next time. Of course, not just the two of us, but with my brother.”

“Huh? Really?! Then I’m good!!! hehehe, I think Ross is really nice.”

As if my words made me feel better, I had no choice but to naturally avoid looking at Rosalyn, whose breasts were bouncing up and down as she shook her body.

After breaking up with Rosalind, I sat on the sofa in the club room and checked the magic book Lawton had left behind.

When I checked it, it was only the name that was similar, but it was completely different from Geass’ magic power amplification.

While I was checking her spell book, Luna, who had just left her room of trials, confirmed that none of her members were there and came to my side.

As I nodded her head involuntarily at the tingling feeling I felt again on her forearm, Luna looked out and looked at the book, wondering if Luna was curious.

“What are you watching?”

“The magic book Master studied. It’s called [Growth through magic amplification].”

Rosalind is too big, so when she secretly admits that Luna is secretly there too. Luna said in a surprised voice.

“I heard this in class.”

“Huh?”

I was taken aback by Luna’s words and asked back. She said she dealt with Lawton’s magic book in class… ?

“I heard that through research in the Green Mage Tower, through a method of forcing plants to grow, the continent’s food problem was solved. She learned that it was thanks to him that enough plants were able to grow in the northern regions….”

Luna’s words made me feel a bit bitter. Lawton was this good. Without Tarantra, he really might have become an archmage.

“There must be materials related to the library. I’ve only heard of it… Are you okay, Ross?”

Perhaps she couldn’t manage her expression, Luna looked at me with a worried expression.

I smiled lightly and hugged Luna tightly.

“It’s okay. Because Luna is by my side.”

The feeling of being at ease just by hugging her was really nothing short of a tranquilizer for Luna.

As if she was happy with my words, Luna’s lips were so cute that she kissed hers slightly. It was very satisfying to see Luna turn red from her ears in an instant.

This level of reaction with just a kiss. How much do you love me I just shrugged my shoulders.

“Are you working hard?”

“Yes, I work hard every day.”

Saying that, I stroked her hair as she stretched out her left hand that had been clenched into a fist.

“You worked hard. It is much better than before.”

It’s a little bit, but it’s definitely much better than before. It was so hard that I was trembling even with my left hand fully extended.

“Thanks to Scholar Ross and Lawton. Ah, I want to give Scholar Lawton a present. How is this weekend?”

At Luna’s sudden question, I scratched my eyebrows and lied.

“You went far away because of your research….”

At my words, Luna put on a sad expression and brought her back to me.

I didn’t want to lie to Luna, but I don’t know how to explain that Lawton is dead.

With her sigh, I hugged Luna even tighter.

“When this level test is over, go north with Illya.”

At Bella’s sudden words, Roel, who was making soup, raised her head.

“Two of you?”

“Yes, Ilya said he found a spiritual object in the north. A spirit creature would be very helpful to both of them. I think it’s a good opportunity.”

With a soft smile, Bella said so. Flavia, who was sitting next to Roel, spoke in an annoyed voice.

“After the grade exam, it will be vacation soon. You can go then You already promised to go on a date with me.”

Seeing Flavia crushing her salad with a fork, as if expressing her displeasure, Roel raised her arm and stroked her shoulder.

“It’s for Roel. Put off your date until vacation.”

When Bella said that as if informing her, Flavia’s eyebrows narrowed. Bella was always like this.

She kept herself speechless in the name of being for Roel. Even the results were always good, which made it all the more annoying that Flavia couldn’t be more angry here.

“Sorry. Flavia.”

Ilya opened her mouth. She even apologized to Ilya, but Flavia could do nothing but pout her lips.

“I researched the location of the spiritual object in advance. We’ve arranged for you to go directly through the portal, so a weekend should suffice.”

At Bella’s words, Roel smiled handsomely.

“Thank you as always, Bella.”

Her upset Flavia thought that she didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so she said something to change the subject.

“By the way, you haven’t met Ross often these days, have you?”

I said it without thinking, but Roel and Bella flinched at the same time.

“Well, I guess I’m busy preparing for the grade exam these days, so I don’t even have time to look at my face…. Great.”

As Roel stirred the soup, Rosalyn, who was sitting across from her, giggled.

“Ah, aren’t you busy dating these days?”

At that, Bella’s hand stopped cutting the steak. Bella asked Rosalyn, she smiled softly.

“Is Ross dating?”

“Huh, I was a big help in my relationship.”

Flavia answered on Rosalyn’s behalf. Roel looked with interest as Flavia crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly.

“What, really? Why didn’t you tell me too!!!”

When Roel made a sad face, Flavia gave a pretty smile.

“For my sister Luna, I kept her mouth shut~ I didn’t know what to do with her relationship, so I gave her advice with our story.”

“I should have helped Ross too!!!”

When Roel puts on a sad expression and tousles her hair. Bella asked in a passing voice, looking at Rosalyn.

“Is Ross dating Luna?”

“Yes. I heard she is in the same club.”

“I thought she liked Ellie.”

Let Bella say that, raising one corner of her mouth. Rosalind felt goosebumps for some reason.

Actually, Rosalind also thought that Ross had a crush on her Ellie the last time she looked for Ellie when her Ross passed out in front of her.

“It’s been fun.”

Rosalind felt a chill run down her spine at Bella’s cool smile.
