𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟏: 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
I arrived at the royal capital.
While the maids were carrying my luggage into the dormitory on the school grounds,
I met with the principal along with the loli maid.
It’s an oral exam, I face the interview test with the principal and professor.
There’s no need to panic.
Admission is pretty much decided.
It should be over with a brief self-introduction.
🩴
The self-introduction is over.
I have a harmless conversation with the principal.
“Then, let’s start the exam.”
“The young lady, please go to that room.”
I’ve taught the loli how to read and write in the kingdom’s language, as well as arithmetic, squares, and trigonometric functions.
It’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t panic.
“So, Otto von Haedecker, what are the elements necessary for magic?”
“Magic power, image, motion, and result.”
The principal and the professor are somehow signaling each other with their eyes.
“. . .What kind of thing is that?”
I answer the professor’s question.
“For example, I’ll explain in detail how to activate a fireball. You give rotational motion to the magic power and imagine high temperature.”
I create a fireball in my right hand to show them.
“This will result in destruction when it hits the target.”
The principal is surprised.
“Can you use magic? And who did you learn it from?”
“I’m self-taught.”
I dissipate the magic power of the fireball.
The professor asks in surprise.
“You didn’t chant.”
“I don’t do it because it’s not necessary. There are times when I do it for encouragement.”
The principal asks.
“Is your attribute fire?”
“I haven’t decided. I can produce wind, water, ice, but I chose fire because it’s troublesome to clean up if the room gets wet.”
I spread both hands and cause an arc discharge.
The room is illuminated in a pale blue light and filled with the smell of ozone.
“Uh, um, principal?”
The professor is confused.
“Sigh, what did you come to this school for?”
“I came to learn magic that I don’t know because I’m self-taught. Also, alchemy.”
“I approve your admission. We will place a seat for you in the magic class, but you can attend any class. Graduation will be judged by submitting some research report by the age of 20.”
The principal stands up and asks for a handshake. Of course, I respond and stand up.
“Thank you. I will strive to not disgrace the name of this school.”
Yay!! I can get credits by submitting a report!!
🩴
“Marca, how was the exam?”
“Ah, yes, it didn’t go very well. I will enter the magic elementary class.”
“I see, work hard on your studies.”
“Um, if I don’t reach a certain level of magic skill within a year, I will be expelled.”
The loli’s voice is dark.
Well, Loli can’t really imagine magic power.
I initially taught her healing magic, but her understanding of human anatomy couldn’t keep up.
“Use the resonance of hydrogen atoms to image the healing part in three dimensions, check the damaged area, and change it to a normal state.”
I explained.
But she didn’t seem to understand.
Well, there should be good teachers in this school. If she can’t do it, I’ll do something.
I still have a trump card.
🩴
After that, the two of us bought necessities and uniforms in the school.
It’s a weird blazer-like uniform that’s familiar from games.
I ordered a custom-made one for nobles.
But it’s not something that can be made in two or three days.
So I also bought a ready-made one.
Of course, I had to adjust the length of the pants and sleeves to fit my waist.
Also, the coat, yeah, free size is great.
🩴
Once back in the dormitory, I put my luggage in the somewhat tidy room.
The three of us go out to see the royal capital and shop for daily necessities.
The platinum coins are still in the magic storage.
It’s not something to be used outside.
I got the preparation money from the Old man.
The master is supposed to provide the slave’s clothing.

The sightseeing in the royal capital is over.
On the way back, I pick up the uniform and return to the dormitory.
I had dinner in the room.
Kukkoro-san brings the food on a wagon.
The loli arranges the plates on the table.
She only arranges one serving.
“We’re the only ones here. This is my castle. We’re like a family. Let’s eat together.”
The maids are surprised.
The loli timidly arranges the plates for everyone.
Kukkoro-san brings the chairs.
🩴
Bread, vegetable soup, chicken, salad, and fruit.
🩴
Wine
I cut the chicken on the large plate for everyone.
Kukkoro-san pours wine (diluted with hot water) into everyone’s cups.
When everything is ready,
The maids timidly sit down.
“Now, today is a celebration of admission. From tomorrow, we will eat in the dining hall. Occasionally, I think we should eat like this. We are a family in this room. If you have any worries or troubles, talk about them.”
“Yes.””Understood.”
“Then, let’s eat. Cheers.”
Everyone raises their cups, moistens their mouths, and starts eating.
Both of them are trained by the empire, so their table manners are perfect.
No, I’m the least graceful.
“Marca, if there’s anything you need for your studies, I’ll prepare it. Let me know, and we’ll discuss if it’s hard to get.”
“Vesta, devote your free time to training. You can also work part-time. Well, it’s not very graceful, but you’ll probably end up registering with some guild. I’ll be laughed at if you can’t move during field training.”
“I’ll give you both an allowance. You can use it freely. Don’t waste it. Save it for the future, you can even buy yourself.”
Both of their hands stop.
“Um, are we going to be abandoned in the future?”
Kukkoro-san
“It means that you should go your own way once you find it.”
Loli-san with a tearful voice.
“My life is already over. I can’t go anywhere, I have nowhere to go.”
“That’s why you’re being educated. Find your own way. Decide by the time I graduate.”
Brave Kukkoro-san
“What do you plan to do after you graduate, master?”
“Hmm. It’s only vaguely decided. After graduating from the academy, I’ll join the military. I plan to make a decent career in the military, get a settlement somewhere, and live by developing it with my pension, eating good food and drinking alcohol. That’s if things go well.”
This is the normal ending of this magic academy game.
It’s OK to have a harem for the number of women you’ve conquered.
Of course, there’s also a king ending where the protagonist conquers a princess.
However, this is difficult.
If you make the wrong choice, the princess becomes a yandere and you can’t have a harem ending.
For some reason, the heroines decrease one by one. (Physically)
Tearful Loli
“Um, is it not good to serve you for a lifetime?”
“Well, that’s one of the options. Whether you like it or not, you’ll have to stick with me until I graduate. Even at night.”
That’s why I prepared a king-size bed. Come on, two or three people, bring it on!!
“Ah, um, I don’t mind that. . .”
Kukkoro-san blushed.
“Oh, it’s okay, I’ve been making sure we don’t have children, and I will continue to do so.”
“Eh?”
“Huh?”
“If you have a child, you won’t be able to escape from me for the rest of your life. I want my child to grow up in a good environment. I don’t want to abandon the woman who gave birth to my child. I won’t abandon my child.”
The protagonist sprinkles powder even though he can’t enter the harem.
An unfortunate NPC kappa is created.
The silent maids must have something on their minds.
The joyful celebration becomes quite heavy.
“Well, it’s hard to get promoted even if you join the military, fortunately, in the near future, we’ll probably have to deal with the empire, so there won’t be a shortage of achievements.”
“Eh?”
“Why on earth!!”
Kukkoro-san stands up in surprise. She probably doesn’t want to go to war with her old nest.
That’s what happens in the latter half of the game. What was the reason again?
In the behind-the-scenes setting corner of the official strategy guide by the manufacturer, I think it was because the newly succeeded emperor had the kingdom invade to reduce the power of the opposing nobles.
“Hmm, the current empire has just finished its troubles and the new emperor has just ascended to the throne. They can’t move. It will calm down in a few years. However, they won’t leave those who opposed the new emperor’s ascension. It will become some kind of political struggle.”
Kukkoro-san growls, she seems to recognize it.
“Guh. . .”
“If there’s a civil war, it’ll be busy at the border. It’ll be a big fuss with refugees and soldiers turned bandits. But a civil war affects the new emperor’s face, the quickest way is to go on an expedition.”
“No way. . .”
“Fortunately, there’s a country near the empire that we’ve fought with many times in the past. There have been wars at the whim of the emperor who ascended to the throne.”
Yes, that’s what the history books I read in my family’s library said.
Of course, it seems there were also times when the king of the kingdom invaded on a whim.
Loli-san also looks bitter.
“Can’t we prevent it?”
“It’s no good, the ball is in the empire’s court. The new emperor will decide. For now, there’s no chance of the kingdom invading. The empire is in chaos, they won’t do anything to unite it. If there’s a civil war, someone might secretly support it.”
“Will there be. . . a war?”
“It’s just a probability. The kingdom must have taken some action in the previous fierce race for the imperial succession. There was also a rebellion. There has never been a time in imperial history when they were beaten and silent.”
Well, it’s decided in the game.
“”. . .””
I fall silent, they should know more about the Empire.
“All I can do is survive the war, make achievements, and create a safe place.”
Implicitly, it’s like saying that the Imperial soldiers are a burden.
If only it could be resolved with just soldiers.
It turned into a silent entrance ceremony.
