Wizards residing at the Magic Tower are treated as if they were nobles.

The reason why it is expressed as ‘junha’ is because not all of them are nobles.

As befits this type of genre cliche, wizards in this world are sometimes born into noble families, and sometimes into commoner families.

And following the cliche of up and down between wizards, they are divided according to the magic skills each individual possesses.

Of course, following the cliché, there are people who fight alone because they were nobles but were ignored on the chopping block, and usually such people are suppressed right away after having an accident in novels.

I feel bad because the owner of the Magic Tower is from a commoner background.

But then what?

As one of the ‘male protagonists’, the owner of the Magic Tower has a very handsome face. His appearance would never be inferior to that of his older brother, the Crown Prince, or the Crown Prince. Moreover, in the ‘original work’, he was set to be connected to the female protagonist, so he also has abilities. It is clear that his appearance is not inferior to that of the other main characters.

Actually, I didn’t like it because the inside was black in the novel.

Actually, that may have been because I, the reader, was a man. Even if the setting was the same, if the heroine had a pretty face and a good body, my feelings would have been different.

“It’s simple.”

Anyway, these were the impressions Amelia expressed as she looked up at the magic tower after receiving the invitation from the magic tower.

“But even in the novel, the tower itself was said to be simple.”

And he gave me such supplementary explanation.

In fact, the word ‘simple’ only refers to the design, but the scale of the tower was jaw-dropping.

The tower was wide and high because it had to contain all kinds of classrooms, laboratories, and even accommodations for the wizard. Even though it was a slightly unusual castle, no one would find it strange.

Considering the importance of the Magic Tower in the kingdom, it seemed like it would be located in the center of the royal capital, but in reality, it was located quite far away from the central capital. In the novel, it was said that it was built there because the nobles and royals who lived in the center of the royal capital did not want to keep coming and bothering them.

When it was first built, the royal capital was not this wide, so it was really quite a distance away, but as the kingdom continued to grow and people continued to flock to the royal capital, it expanded, and now the Magic Tower has become a part of the royal capital. Of course, the surrounding buildings are Most of them were old and shabby buildings.

A magic tower that looks like it was just made of stones and old, shabby buildings surrounding it. What to say, the closer you get to this place from the center of the royal capital, the more the overall color saturation goes down in an instant, making it feel like the genre has changed. Honestly, if you look at this area alone, you can see some famous places. It seems like it could be used as a background for a dark fantasy action RPG series.

“There’s nothing to be too nervous about. Even if this area looks like this, it’s probably one of the safest places in the capital.”

It was like that in the novel.

In modern times, Magic Tower is closer to a research institute than a university. Moreover, the scope of its research includes many things that directly affect national power.

Since it is a place where academic subdivision has not yet been achieved as much as in modern times, all the research is concentrated in one place, so in fact, it may be more appropriate to call it a research complex rather than just calling it a research institute.

That’s why the kingdom’s guards constantly scout around this area. If there’s anyone suspicious, they’ll investigate right away.

“… … .”

But, is it okay for the crown prince to be in a place like that?

Amelia looked at the same direction where my gaze was directed and smiled bitterly.

In front of the magic tower, numerous noble children were gathered, except for me and Amelia.

I don’t know if the reason he hasn’t even opened the gate to the Demon Tower yet after inviting so many noble children is simply because he has a strong heart or is a battle of wits, but since he was a proud Demon Tower who wouldn’t even listen to the words of most lower-ranking nobles in the first place, let’s say it’s worth it.

However, I was concerned in many ways that the person who would become the crown prince of a foreign country was here.

“Because before being the crown prince, he is also the prince of the country. There is only about a year left to go to the empire.”

Being installed as crown prince meant that the emperor of the empire had given up on seeing an heir, but it did not mean that the emperor was on the verge of death.

Although he is at an age where he cannot be expected to have fertility, it is still correct. However, he does not keep the person who will become his country’s crown prince in another country forever. Even if he is mixed with the same blood as himself, the person who will inherit the throne of the empire will be from the empire. Because it would be difficult if it weren’t like this.

The emperor probably plans to accept the crown prince after sorting out political issues within the empire in his own way. The crown prince himself also needs to prepare his heart.

“And as long as you don’t openly try to steal secrets from within the Magic Tower, I won’t really care whether you’re a foreigner or not. If you worry about every single thing like that, you won’t be able to make money.”

Although there is support from some high-ranking nobles and the royal family, it is far from the cost needed to purchase the numerous rare materials consumed by the Magic Tower or to discover talent.

So, you make money through these classes and through the by-products produced as a result of Magic Tower’s research.

Anyway, for that reason, it means that the crown prince, who will be a foreigner in the future, is also here.

Oh, I think he just made eye contact with me. I saw him turn this way and it looked like he was coming to talk to me again.

Do you have any friends? I don’t know why you’re acting so friendly to me, even though I’ve only met you a few times in your life.

No, it’s not that I don’t think of him as a friend, but he is the one who also accepted my wolf.

How can I run away and avoid the uncomfortable situation of the crown prince talking to me? I was racking my brain furiously—

“Grand Duchess, and Lady Delkisi.”

—We heard a voice calling us like that.

It was Adele.

“Daughter Carlins.”

Amelia answered softly first. As I, who was next to her, slightly lowered my head, Adele also bowed slightly towards me and greeted me gracefully.

The outfit Adele wore today was the simple going-out outfit we saw when we first saw her.

“Young Lady Carlins also received an invitation.”

“Yes. I learned magic when I was young.”

The tutor who taught Adele and Diane was not a magic tower wizard, but he was still capable of teaching magic that would be useful in everyday life. In fact, Adele was able to learn magic quite well before the teacher quit.

However, Adele’s face as she answered was not very bright.

Because Adele’s house won’t be able to afford the huge cost of taking the classes at the Magic Tower.

Since the invitation was sent directly from the Magic Tower, I could take the first class today as a taste, but of course I had to pay a certain fee for the classes I took after that.

I quickly made eye contact with Amelia.

If Amelia offered to ‘just’ pay Adele’s tuition, Adele would immediately refuse. The reason would be that she cannot accept such a large amount of money for no reason.

However, Adele was not a magic genius to the point where she asked me to learn magic, offering to teach it for free at the Magic Tower.

Although she clearly had talent, Adele was not a genius.

In the original, after an event involving the owner of the Magic Tower, the owner of the Magic Tower falls in love with Adele and forcibly reduces the entire tuition of the Magic Tower, and in the novel I read, Amelia gives various reasons and ends up paying Adele’s tuition, so it wasn’t something to worry about, but Adele herself I don’t know that future.

“Grand Duchess.”

I thought it was time for the crown prince to intervene, but the voice that intervened was not a man’s voice, but a woman’s voice.

“Long time no see. My name is Diane, the eldest daughter of Count Hoover.”

“Oh my.”

Amelia turned to Diane, letting out an exclamation she never used in front of me.

And then he politely looked at Diane and greeted her.

“My name is Amelia, the eldest daughter of the Great Duke of Grattenmount.”

“I have heard about the Archduke family since I was young. It is a family with noble blood that is responsible for the important task of protecting the kingdom from the barbarians of the north.”

“Actually, that was the job of the Delki family, not Grattenmount.”

Amelia turned her gaze toward me with a smile on her lips.

“… … My name is Elsie, the eldest daughter of the Delki City author. I am currently serving as the Grand Duchess’s escort. ”

“It is said that there are many famous warriors among Delkisinam writers. I have often heard their names during history classes. The Grand Duchess has a very dependable bodyguard.”

“Of course.”

Amelia’s voice, which had been somewhat acting a moment ago, changed noticeably.

Even as a listener, I felt a voice full of pride, to the point where I felt a little embarrassed.
