Chapter 175 School Life Looks Tough
As soon as Axel sat down, tea was brought to him. Among the servants, Axel seems to be firmly recognized as my friend. Axel was picking at the sweets and saying how delicious they were.
“Tomorrow I have swordsmanship practice. I’ll have to stretch myself out properly when I get home.”
“I’ve been waiting for that! Today was so boring and tedious.”
“Oh, come on, how can you call training with the Knight Commander boring and dull?”
If this story reaches the ears of the Knight Commander, won’t he be angry? Especially if it got into the ears of his son Ovidio, he would take notice.
“I see. That’s right. Julius won’t be here tomorrow.”
“Hey, hey, what’s the matter? Even though Julius made you feel weak, you still want to practice magic with him? Maybe you ……”
“When I practiced with Julius, I feel like I’ve become a lot stronger.”
“Ijidol, you too?”
The two of them looked at each other and nodded, then turned to me.
Oh no, what is it? I don’t want them to look at me with such a respectful gaze, as if they were looking at a master. I pretended not to notice and sipped my tea and sweets.
After that we exchanged information with each other before going home. It’s nice to get information from ordinary people. It’s been getting colder lately, so colds are becoming more common. I advised them to wash their hands and gargle frequently.
I should tell the children at the orphanage about this too. I’ll visit the orphanage on my next day off. If I make more noble friends, they will probably invite me to tea parties and things like that and I will go there, but this is better for me. It’s easier on my shoulders.
“I’m back.”
“Welcome home, little Julius.”
“I guess brother Alex isn’t home yet.”
It was the family orderly who greeted me. Did he say he would be home late today?
“Today is the day for electing new student council officers. Therefore, handovers and such are taking place, and I suspect he will be home late.”
Was there a question on my face? He wittily informed me.
‘I see. Then we have to make sure we don’t burden brother when he comes home tired.”
Saying this, I glanced at the servants as if to say, “Don’t report anything that will be a burden”. Ah, they looked away! They’re planning to report something, aren’t they? I don’t think I did anything to cause any problems today.
When dinner was over, my brother finally came home. He looked very tired.
“Welcome home.”
“I’m home, Julius. Have you been a good boy …… and stayed quiet?”
Why did you rephrase that, brother? It’s not good, but oh well. I’ll do my best so that I can earn your trust one day.
“I’ve been a good boy. Is your work on the student council finished today?”
“I’ve almost finished, but I’m not sure if there’s anything left to do. Why?
“I thought it might be time for you to prepare for your final exam.”
“Yes, I suppose it is. I’ve come to worry you too, haven’t I?”
Brother smiles while arching his eyebrows. Oh, maybe he didn’t want me to ask him? While I was feeling a little miffed, my brother called the servants.
“I’ll receive today’s report tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work today.”
The servants bow their heads at my brother’s words. This is how you win the hearts and minds of the servants, isn’t it? I’ve learned something.
It seems he has already had his dinner. Will he just take a bath and go to bed? No, he should be studying for his exams. School life is also difficult.
I decided to stay in my room so I don’t put any more strain on myself. But I don’t really have anything to do. What should I do? Shall I think of a way to train Ijidol’s magic? If I don’t think of a more efficient way, Ijidol’s current amount of magic power will limit practice time. I can’t use my own magical power level as a standard.
First, increase Ijidol’s magical power. Then, make him use Magic Arrow unconsciously. This will give him confidence. Then, he will be able to practice magic later on.
With this in mind, I ended the day thinking of a new magic training method for Ijidol.
“Good morning, brother.”
“Good morning, Julius. You are looking well today.”
“Yes, I am. You seem a little tired, brother.”
He had dark circles under his eyes. I couldn’t help but chuckle. It really seems like school life is tough. It’s not easy being a student. My brother is also laughing along with me.
“You’ll also be like this in time.”
“I don’t like that.”
We laughed out loud at each other. The gloomy air cleared up at once. I felt as if brightness had returned to my brother’s face.
“Today is the day for swordsmanship practice, I remember. How are things going?”
“No problems. I made a friend and we are practicing together.”
“I’ve heard. Axel Holmqvist, I believe. Their family is a prestigious one that has produced troop commanders for generations. You have a good eye for people.”
He looked happy. I have never heard of him having bad friends either, so I guess he has a good eye for people. What about brother Cain? I think he has a good eye for people, since he had successfully captured Viscountess Meeka Raniemi in a good way. It may be a wild instinct, though.
“Yes, brother, I’m thinking of going to the orphanage on my next day off. May I?”
“I don’t mind, but did something happen?”
“Well, there seems to be a cold going around here, so I’m thinking of going there to warn them about it. I am planning to bring some soap with me.”
The older brother nodded yes. It seems that he was convinced.
“I understand. I will be responsible for arranging the soap.”
“Thank you.”
