◈ Episode 18: Commoner Girl Line (1)
Seorn’s training ground is an open space that anyone can use.
It’s so wide, and there are as many as three such training grounds, so wherever you go, students can freely practice their magic in a spacious space.
Especially at the beginning of the semester, the first year students who use the training ground the most are curious about the prestigious Seorn facility.
As a result, it was inevitable that first-year students would naturally have small accidents.
Children who entered Seorn while hearing that they were geniuses wherever they went.
Freshmen who have not gone through proper competition have strong self-esteem because they have not yet been able to say that they are the best.
There would be no concessions made towards each other.
Right now, they will face each other face to face, but as they gradually progress through classes and become engaged, there will always be a section in which they collide.
And the place where such things happen most often was the first training ground.
like right now
“what? Say it again.”
“… … This is a place where everyone can use it freely. Is there any particular reason why I should go out?”
Line frowned as she saw the three students glaring at her with contempt.
It wasn’t long before that she, who had gray hair, which was rare even in the Empire, visited the first training ground out of curiosity and got into a fight.
The reason was nothing.
They just told Line to go somewhere else because they were going to use this place.
I didn’t say anything nice, and I unilaterally issued an order to celebrate, saying that I didn’t want to use the same space as commoners.
There are not too many students using the training ground and there is plenty of free space.
Even so, it was a blatant argument to anyone to point out this side and tell it to go away.
There were a total of three people who quarreled with her, one woman and two men.
All of them are the children of aristocratic families.
Among them, the first grader named Dunema Rommli, the daughter of Count Rommli, was at the center of the blunt verbal abuse towards Line.
Her blonde hair, which reached her waist, was curled at the ends like a roll.
Looking at his venomous impression, it can be guessed that his personality is not usually distorted.
Even so, I never thought I’d come across such an open fight.
“If it’s uncomfortable to write, why don’t you guys go?”
“under! How dare you talk back to me now? How dare a vulgar, insolent commoner treat a noble blood like me?”
“… … Seorn does not classify by social class or bloodline. Didn’t you know that even though you were enrolled here?”
“That’s just what you guys want to believe. To believe so strongly what they said they wanted to hear. That is why you are cloth.”
“That’s right, Miss Dunema. This is why lower-class commoners can’t do it.”
“This is why it’s not for nothing that people say that you shouldn’t be nice to those below you.”
Two male students on either side of the dunema flattered each other.
Linen bit his lip.
In the first place, they didn’t even try to listen to what this side said. because she is a commoner
If we continue to argue here, it will be this side that gets tired.
Line turned her back, saying that she should not engage in business at all.
The problem is that the action really offended Dunema, who has high self-esteem.
“… … Commoners, how dare you ignore what I’m saying?”
Count Rommli was a typical aristocrat who fell in love with the chosen people and looked down on commoners.
And Dunema, the only daughter of such a count, also inherited her father’s tendencies.
Since she grew up seeing and hearing only such things since she was young, she had no choice but to become that kind of personality.
Dunnema thought he should be the main player at this academy.
There are many great seniors in the 2nd year, so even so, among the 1st year students, you should be the most dazzling.
I believed so.
When she came to Seorn, most of the students were second to her. It was a reality that was difficult for her to accept as she had lived her whole life.
‘I can’t do this!’
It hurts his pride to take classes using the same classroom as commoners, but he didn’t want to accept the fact that there were students with more talent than he did.
The nobility must always be noble and stand above all.
because i was born that way
Because she was the chosen one, and those lowly commoners were nothing more than a throwaway tool to make her stand out.
To Dunema, a commoner named Line was an annoyance.
The first thing I noticed was when I was in the classroom.
The ash gray hair color, which is hard to see around, also drew attention, but it was Line’s beauty that bothered Dunema more than anything else.
She was like an out-of-this-world doll, painstakingly crafted by the goddess of beauty.
Even she, a woman like me, thought it was a moment, but I was envious.
My pride was hurt.
Dunnema couldn’t forgive that. Myself and that hateful commoner who made me shake.
Dunema needed someone to take out his anger on, and that target was, of course, Linen, who had aroused this feeling in him.
So, I started fighting with the thought of pressing down on the bridge of my nose.
‘What the hell is that cheeky attitude!’
Line’s eyes looked at this side as if they were pathetic.
Dunema gritted his teeth and glared at the back of Liné’s head.
‘Did you think you would be safe even ignoring me?’
Dunema took out his staff and held it up. It happened unexpectedly, so the two followers attached to Dunema couldn’t react.
It was the same with Line.
No way, she would use magic with her staff pointed at him as he left with his back turned.
And that’s because I never imagined that I would do something like this in Seorn.

“How dare you be a lowly commoner!”
A spell forms along with magic power, and seeds of hot lightning fly around.
Feeling something strange, Rinne looked back and widened her blue eyes.
‘That’s stupid. It’s already too late.’
A cruel smile formed on Dunema’s lips.
doesn’t kill But instead, I thought to carve some burns on that handsome face.
The moment I tried to shoot the prepared magic into the face of that hateful commoner.
A white flash pierced her magic.
Looking at the reverberation of the scattered lightning, Dunnema contorted her face like a demon.
“who is this!”
I turned my head to the place where the magic flew.
And saw.
A man looking down this way from the audience.
“What are you doing?”
Would that be the case with the frost on the frozen land of the North Continent?
The moment that voice mixed with subtle anger reaches your ears, your skin reacts.
That force and spirit that makes your teeth clash on their own.
Not another student, much less a user of Ceorn. Dunnema was not ignorant of a man with such a strong impression in the first place.
“Lu, Ms. Rudger?”
“I was on patrol, and I suddenly felt a wave of magic power, so I came to see you.”
His gaze scans Linea and Dunema’s gang, as well as the students nearby who just watched and didn’t stop.
“I never thought you would make a problem like this.”
It’s not even a fight between students.
To be precise, it is an incident in which one side tried to surprise the other unilaterally.
“Théorn must have looked quite funny.”
If they had fought each other head-on, it would have been something that could have been passed as a warning.
However, it is undoubtedly a one-sided negligence to launch a surprise attack on an opponent who has no intention of fighting.
The teacher even witnessed it with his own two eyes.
“What does that mean?!”
Dunnema, already full of anger, shouted as if protesting against Ludger.
“As a noble, this is to protect your authority… … !”
“authority? Authority for what?”
“That’s what this commoner wants me to… … .”
“In this Seorn, all students are equal. Learning, teaching, and magic are only judged by their talent and passion. I don’t care how noble your blood is.”
Rudger’s words to tell him not to pretend to be an aristocrat here.
Dunnema bit her lip.
Rudger shook his head at that action without any reflection.
He was sure the freshmen would cause trouble.
Rather, it was possible because he was still a freshman who didn’t know the world.
Freshmen who don’t know how Seorn works naturally make all their judgments based on the environment they’ve been in so far.
The small and narrow way of thinking that thinks that the world he lived in is everything causes problems.
Just like Dunnema Rommli in front of me right now.
But not knowing is not an excuse.
If narrow-minded thinking causes a problem, it is Seorn’s policy to give a stronger punishment to wake up rather than forgive it.
“It hasn’t been long since classes started, but you’ve already caused such a big problem, so you should know that you can’t avoid punishment.”
“You follow me right now.”
Rudger said that and immediately turned his back.
‘If I had done this, I would have figured it out.’
I thought that if I issued a warning like this, the incident would be moderately smoothed out.
Of course, it wasn’t just a warning, it was an actual punishment.
It wasn’t anything else, it was because I was cowardly trying to surprise my classmate.
“Only the subject of the fallen nobles… … .”
But in that one word from Dunema Rommli.
The already quiet training ground became quieter.
“Du, Miss Dunema?”
Two students who could be called Dunnema’s followers broke into a cold sweat.
No matter how much they wanted this action, this was not the case.
Even Ludgar Celisi, who was about to leave, hesitated.
It was a big deal.
The complexion of the students watching the situation turned pale.
Dunnema belatedly realized what he was talking about.
However, the words that had already been spoken could not be picked up.
“What did you just say?”
Rudger’s even more subdued voice turned to Dunema.
It didn’t stop there, and his body floated in the air.
Ludger, who slowly descended from the audience as if walking on air, landed on the ground and slowly walked towards Dunema.
thud. thud.
With every step Ludger took, Dunnema felt the world collapse.
I didn’t know it when I was far away, but when I saw it up close, the pressure Ludger exuded was beyond my imagination.
Its appearance is like a giant.
It was a huge figure like a mountain that could be pressed down with just one finger.
“Ahhh.”
Unknowingly, I said something harsh.
Even so, there were things she shouldn’t have said, but she crossed that line.
It’s no wonder that Rudger is angry.
“Did you call me a fallen noble?”
“Ah, uh. ah… … .”
Dunnema couldn’t even move his mouth properly as he looked down at Rudger with a shadow on his face.
The atmosphere in Ludger was bloody like that, and it didn’t seem strange if anyone died.
The time when students look at their eyes and think that this should be stopped.
“Mr. Rudger!”
Selina, a new animology teacher, hurriedly ran outside and called Ludger to stop him.
She too had just arrived after hearing the news.
However, what I saw as soon as I arrived was Ludger staring at one of the trembling girls as if he were about to eat them.
no way. perhaps. perhaps.
A disturbing thought crept into her mind.
The moment Selina hurriedly tries to stop Ludger.
Rudger opened his mouth.
“That’s not exactly wrong.”
What everyone hears is completely unexpected words.
“what?”
“What does the teacher say now… … .”
I thought you would be angry.
Or, I thought, they would punish me on the spot.
“Obviously I am a fallen aristocrat. But this is Seorn, and I am Seorn’s teacher. Dunema. What you said is clearly a student challenging the teacher’s authority.”
But Rudger didn’t.
He just spoke in an extremely calm voice, as if admonishing.
“But before you are an aristocrat and a student, you are still young. If this is your first time, you may not know.”
“ah… … .”
“So, I will move on to paying attention to your mistakes this time. But know that there is no next.”
Totally unexpected, yet very adult-like response.
The students could only stare blankly at Rudger.
“Of course, you will be punished for what you did to your classmates. I hope you learned something from it.”
At the word discipline, Dunema felt the illusion that the world was collapsing, but she could not protest.
Rudger’s point-by-point words were too straightforward.
On the contrary, to the extent that he thought that he had overlooked her too much.
As Dunnema silently agreed, Ludger’s gaze turned to the gray-haired girl, Linen.
“And you there. Line.”
“Yes, yes!”
Line’s shoulders trembled at the fact that Rudger called her name.
“Are there any injuries?”
“yes?”
“I asked if there were any injuries.”
“Ah, ah, yes! yes are you okay! So, thanks to the teacher’s help… … .”
“Then I’m glad.”
Rudger immediately turned his head to look at Selina.
“Miss Selina. Please follow me.”
“Ah yes!”
Rudger left the training ground after saying that to Selina.
No one dared to move until he disappeared beyond the darkness of the corridor.
just effortlessly.
I couldn’t help but look at Ludger’s back.
