‘Oh my… So you’re using magic to increase the strength of the material? And you’re making it maintain this… This is more complicated than I thought.’

I am reading a book.

This is a book written by Adrian.

More precisely, it is a type of thesis, a book written about the research the guy presented while he was an academy professor.

“It’s not polite to read a book at the dinner table.”

Angelica, who was now much more comfortable, started nagging at me while I was eating.

“Oh, I know. But I can’t make time for it if not now.”

“……”

Today is going to be a very busy day.

It’s finally the day of new class assignments at the training center, and there are still mountains of things to do.

First of all, the mansion.

“Dallot. I guess the mansion side is ending today, right?”

“Yes! The cleaning was finished yesterday, and if you just arrange the furniture today, you will be able to move in for the evening. However, since we haven’t hired a maid yet, you will have to eat outside.”

“Yeah. That’s about it… Anyway, thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes!”

I didn’t take my eyes off the book while we were having a conversation.

Until yesterday, I kept putting it off, saying I should see it, but now I’ve made up my mind to make it better.

I can’t just sit back and wait for Adrian’s memories to come back.

If you don’t remember, you need to change this situation as soon as possible, even if it means learning something new.

‘But it still comes into my head smoothly.’

I don’t know if it’s because his brain is truly genius, or if it’s because it’s knowledge he’s already learned.

But it is much easier to understand than you might think.

Despite the fact that it is an extremely difficult paper.

‘By the way, are the professors in this neighborhood able to understand things like this right away like I do?’

This is an extremely self-centered piece of writing.

Moreover, all arguments are explained using the bloodline-limited succession magic, Enchantment.

I don’t know if other wizards will understand this when they read it.

‘A way to maximize horsepower efficiency…’

The topic of the paper is Adrian’s own methodology for increasing horsepower efficiency to its limit.

The content is excellent.

As is always the case with energy, the amount of horsepower that can be extracted and used at one time is limited, so increasing its efficiency is of the utmost importance.

The only problem is that I can’t use magic or enchantments at the moment.

‘I don’t even know addition and subtraction, but am I learning calculus?’

Looking at this, I thought I’d suddenly be able to use magic right away, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

However, because I learned so much miscellaneous knowledge about this and that, I couldn’t take my eyes off the book for even a moment.

“Stop reading and start eating!”

“Huh? Why are you mad? I told you to eat it yourself.”

“If you do it that way, no one will choose you today… It’s the day to assign new employees.”

“It’s the same anyway. I don’t even expect it.”

I know he gets angry every day, but his attitude is especially strange today.

‘Could it be that day?’

Anyway, I was thinking of putting off sleeping with him for the time being, so it’s not a big deal.

Because I knew that just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean the circuit will show up.

“Angelica.”

“What is it?”

“You probably won’t have anything to do all day, so follow Dalot and help him arrange the furniture. It’d probably be better if there was a woman there.”

“Me?”

“Okay. Decorate it however you like. And come pick me up in front of the training center in the afternoon. I don’t even know where the mansion I bought is… Ah! Dalot, pack your things well. Especially the boxes. ”

“Yes!”

It would be better to do it this way, as stopping by the hotel again after work is inefficient.

Dalot is very busy today as well, having to find a maid, a butler, and even a decent cook.

So I guess I’ll have to use that guy who looks like he has nothing better to do.

“But Angelica.”

“What? Do you want me to do something else?”

“That’s not it, I have something to ask.”

“What is it?”

“You… Are you okay with being out for so long? Didn’t the house or the academy report you missing?”

“It doesn’t matter. I graduated from the academy a few months ago, and at home… maybe someone like me…”

I changed the question right away because he suddenly seemed to be getting depressed.

“Graduation? Did you graduate from the academy?”

“What are you talking about…? Oh, are you asking because you think I might have failed?”

“Absolutely not.”

I quickly changed the subject, fearing that Adrian would cause trouble by messing up the mana circuit.

“If you graduated from the academy, shouldn’t you go to a training school for journalists?”

“……”

The guy’s expression turned cold.

I tried to change the subject, but it didn’t help because I was the one who was ultimately responsible for all the things he did.

“I can’t go… I can’t use my mana… properly… I can’t emit aura, so what’s the point of being a knight?”

okay.

Go ahead and swear.

Not me, that bastard Adrian.

“I see.”

“……”

We couldn’t talk more because we were in front of Dalot.

Because the ability to transform mana circuits is still a secret to Dalot.

“Now, all of you, move behind the instructor you like and line up. Go! ”

The class assignment has begun.

Following the principal’s remarks, the new cadets quickly began to settle into their seats.

‘It’s not like it’s some entertainment show popularity vote…’

A whopping 168 guys started lining up behind the instructors, choosing the one they wanted from among only nine instructors.

Although they are all capable people who came here with the goal of becoming knights, all of the cadets here now are women.

On the other hand, the instructor was strangely nervous because all of the others, except for Amy and one other person, were men.

I bragged about how great I was during my last self-introduction, but when the situation actually arose, I was quite nervous.

‘Surely… it’s not like no one is coming, right?’

Twenty people per instructor.

But if not even one person comes, what a disgrace that would be.

I don’t have high expectations given the circumstances, but wouldn’t it be nice if at least one person could come?

‘Fuck… There’s no such thing as an ambitious woman? Back then… Should I have sold the family name at least once?’

The cadets had no hesitation.

It seems like he has already made up his mind about who he will stand behind.

“Is this the end! If you want to change, move now! From now on, you guys can’t change your choice!”

-yes!

What the fuck.

The smoke from the smoke grates loudly, but I can’t hear a single voice behind me.

I can’t even look back because I’m so embarrassed.

‘Huh?’

But there were some surprising parts.

The four of them also did not stand behind me.

‘what?’

The four new recruits who joined the training center late must have come here with the purpose of keeping an eye on me.

But now there is no one behind me.

‘Are you thinking of hiding your identity?’

I am already suspicious of all the people who suddenly entered the training center that day.

But they might not know.

I have these doubts.

So, in order to avoid being suspected until the end, you may not be making the risk of choosing me now.

‘Sure… if someone stands behind me in this situation, everyone will pay attention to him…’

“You don’t seem to like the situation, Adrian Floyd.”

The director standing on the podium looks down at me and sneers.

I also returned the sneer with sarcasm.

“It’s just a shame that there aren’t any ambitious new recruits. It seems like all the ambitious friends have gone to training centers in the royal capital or other regions.”

“Huh. How foolish. You still play with your mouth when you haven’t been chosen by anyone. ”

“……”

Let’s put it somewhere, curator.

How long are you going to ignore me like that?

I decided that there was no need to embarrass the commander in front of so many cadets, so I held my tongue.

Above all, that choleric person might suddenly get angry and try to kill me.

“Okay! The instructor chosen by the most people was as expected, and it was Instructor Karlstein! Everyone applauds!”

After the unpleasant applause finally died down, Instructor Karlstein selected the twenty cadets he wanted.

As expected, the talented new recruits that Amy had heard the instructors were paying attention to were picked out one by one.

‘Didn’t that kid come here to spy on me? Why is he picking off all the elites and causing trouble?’

I wondered if I was the only one who had this complaint. If it weren’t for him, the instructors who would have been ranked first or second had their faces flushed.

Following this, the second and third instructors sequentially selected their cadets and moved them to the corners of the training ground, and as they did so, the number of cadets in the center of the training ground quickly decreased.

‘So this is what you were aiming for in the end…’

Four new cadets have just arrived.

The guys were completely ignored by the other instructors.

‘It’s obvious. Even if he had the skills, he would never have tried to appeal to the other instructors to be assigned to my class.’

As I was furtively looking at the group of people with my gaze, Amy, who was standing right next to me, suddenly spoke to me.

“Thank you, Instructor Adrian. It really happened just as you said. I can finally be an instructor in charge of new recruits!”

She was so happy all by herself, without even knowing how other people were feeling.

“Congratulations. I don’t care, so if you see any good items, just pick them all up.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Oh, of course.”

Her characteristic kindness must have rubbed off on the cadets, as there were about five of them standing behind Amy.

“Then, I’ll go first.”

Following Instructor Jeremy, the sixth and seventh instructors were chosen, and finally, Amy’s choice was reached.

And finally, it’s my turn.

The number of new cadets remaining is eight.

In the end, I didn’t get to choose anyone, so I had no choice but to pick these guys that Amy left behind.

‘But what the fuck… what kind of combination is this?’

But there was something else that really surprised me.

An incident occurred that shocked me, and especially the director.

‘No, why are you coming out of there?’
