Chapter 149: This… No.

Merhen Academy, Violet’s office.

Violet had stayed up all night for the first time in a long time.

She would have been happy if she had spent the night studying ancient runes, but that was not the case.

There was a rather important event at the magic department today.

Flan’s class.

Today was the day of the pre-registration for the class that Dean Conette had promised.

When she opened the Triviana newspaper, there were countless stories related to Flan, and dozens, hundreds of debates about them.

‘There is no one in the magic department who doesn’t know Flan’ was no longer an exaggeration.

That’s why Violet had no choice but to stay up all night.

She had to prepare for the crowd that was bound to come.

“Professor Violet.”

The female student who was helping Violet next to her spoke.

Her hair was cut short on both sides, and her shoulders were filled with yellow badges.

She was the president of the third year of the magic department.

Emily.

“Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like a lot of people will come.”

“Of course. It’s obvious.”

“That’s why you went to an emergency meeting, right? Whether to increase the quota, or to make selection criteria. Various things.”

Violet, who was writing the list, looked out the window for a moment.

The students of the magic department were moving like waves.

“You must feel strange, professor. He was your student until recently, and now he’s your colleague.”

“Well, yeah.”

The faces of the people outside seemed full of excitement, but Violet’s mood was a bit odd.

It was not a petty emotion like envy or jealousy.

The guy who she thought was a talentless student proved his skills, formed a class with his name, and started to study ancient runes with Violet.

The series of outcomes was just amazing.

“Emily.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know that? Flan entered the academy as an F-grade.”

“I think I saw that in Triviana…. Wait, what? Was that true?”

Emily widened her eyes and asked.

“There are more stories to tell. A lot more.”

Violet muttered with a face soaked in admiration.

It was as if she was retracing something one by one.

Emily leaned her upper body toward Violet and asked.

“Professor Violet. Then should I try to apply too? The more I hear, the more interested I get.”

“Emily, have you ever met Flan?”

“Of course.”

Emily nodded.

“I’ve met him, of course. You know, when the blood ghouls attacked the ballroom.”

The two slowly headed to the agora board.

As they talked, they reached their destination, and as expected, there were a lot of people gathered.

“….”

She expected a lot, but she didn’t expect this much.

Some of the first-year female students spotted Violet and Emily and whispered.

They seemed to think they wouldn’t hear, but they heard everything.

“You go and ask.”

“That’s a bit. Professor Violet and the president are scary. Let’s have the person who lost rock-paper-scissors go and ask.”

“Why rock-paper-scissors…. Fine. I’ll go and come back.”

In the end, one of the female students reluctantly approached them.

“Hello. Excuse me, can we see Flan today?”

The female students were whispering, so she guessed, but it was as expected.

Flan was very popular among some female students these days.

It was not only the application, but these first-year female students seemed to be waiting for a chance to see Flan’s face.

“You’re the professor in charge, right? Can you just tell us if he’s coming or not? We just want to take a quick look and go….”

She knew how big their affection was, but they came to the wrong place.

Violet sighed deeply and said.

“I don’t know either. He’s a student I can’t control.”

She explained calmly, but the female students’ eyes were not on Violet.

They seemed to be looking at something over her shoulder.

She turned her head slightly and saw a knight.

The female students immediately whispered.

“Huh? That’s….”

“Janet?”

“Right, Janet. Isn’t she a celestial?”

A knight who looked like a rose blooming in human form. Janet suddenly appeared. Her appearance made the students who were far away look this way.

Janet was the first to break the silence.

“Excuse me.”

“What’s going on here? A knight student.”

“I’m not here for anything bad.”

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like she came to pick a fight.

Janet clicked her tongue as if she was uncomfortable with the sharp eyes from around her.

“That….”

“That?”

“Well.”

“Yes.”

Janet sighed deeply and scratched her head.

The knight opened his mouth again when Violet narrowed her brows.

“…Where do I apply?”

I flinched at his sudden question.

Why are you applying?

“It’s just a matter of submitting an application form.”

As soon as she answered, Janet shoved the application form into Violet’s arms like a sword. Then she ran away from her seat.

Emily, who was standing next to her, scratched her head.

“…I don’t know what I saw or heard.”

“I agree.” 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮

After that, they were busy with a lot of things.

Students who asked if Flan was visiting today, students who applied, students who asked if they would pass… Emily and Violet were completely exhausted.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting and they were about to return to their office.

“Can I ask you for directions?”

Someone grabbed them again.

They turned around and saw a knight with golden hair staring at them.

“…Yvonne?”

Violet recognized the identity of the knight first.

The person who faced Flan in the first event of the Sword Master Tournament, the rising star among the first-year knights.

It was Yvonne Rose.

“Yes. I’m Yvonne.”

Yvonne nodded and continued.

Violet and Emily tilted their heads.

Emily asked.

“Junior knight, what are you doing here?”

“Oh, I came to apply.”

There was a brief silence.

It was the same as when Janet of the Heavenly Blessing visited earlier.

They felt like they were experiencing unexpected things more often today.

Emily blinked and wondered.

She couldn’t ask Janet, who had no signs, but she thought she could ask this knight with a naive smile.

“Why are you applying?”

“Oh. You mean the reason?”

Yvonne smiled brightly.

“Nothing much. I just like Flan’s work.”

?

A day passed, and the Frits family mansion.

The day of verification finally arrived.

The three days that cousin April gave them.

The endless sorting of magic books also reached its end. In other words, they were ready to decipher the tombstone.

The magic books in the Frits garden were all sorted out, and Louis and Becky even learned them.

Trixie also mastered the ‘Melted Flame’.

There were two conditions to decipher the tombstone.

First, find the decryption book in the garden.

Second, manifest the Melted Flame.

These two requirements were all met.

“I’m so tired. Is this it?”

Becky stretched and muttered.

In three days, Becky’s thinking range widened considerably.

It was only natural. She had learned a hundred magic books at the same time.

“…Yeah.”

Trixie answered lowly.

She still didn’t look or pay attention to Flan.

The first kiss.

It was her first kiss.

She was too embarrassed to look at him.

“Trixie. Try it!”

Becky shouted and Trixie nodded.

“Hoo…”

Trixie took a breath and put her hand on the tombstone.

She concentrated more than ever to operate her mana precisely.

She drew the foundation of magic in her head, then chose the right branch and connected the circuit.

Water, Fire.

The Melted Flame required two elements.

But she could do it now.

The name of the family weighed her down, her father lying in bed grabbed her ankle, and the existence of verification choked her neck with both hands…

She could even turn that weight into motivation, so Trixie focused with all her strength.

Kugugugugu─

Trixie’s mother.

Mia von Frits’s tombstone glowed blue.

It resonated with the surroundings and emitted a majestic sound, and even a strange current started to flow.

“Uh…!”

The tombstone broke with a thud and spat out a blue soul-like thing.

It wandered around for a while and then was completely absorbed into Trixie’s body.

Flan nodded lightly beside her.

“It’s done.”

It was perfect.

Trixie had manifested a flame that melted the riddle of the tombstone.

There was nothing to fault or mistake in her performance.

But the next moment, everyone tilted their heads.

They had no choice.

There was nothing else to see.

Becky broke the silence.

“Is that it? Did Lord Isaac become immortal?”

“I know, right? I thought there would be something more impressive.”

“Did he fail?”

“Haha, no way. He said she should marry Flan, didn’t she?”

While Becky and Louis chatted, Trixie just clenched and unclenched her hand absentmindedly.

“… I’ve changed.”

The girl muttered that to herself.

She had changed drastically.

The flow of mana inside her body, the blueprint that could draw the foundation of magic, the calculation, the efficiency….

She felt that all the elements that a magician should care about had risen to an unbelievable level.

No, drastic was an understatement.

… She had become a different person altogether.

Snap─!

Trixie flicked her finger.

A blue flame bloomed on her index finger.

Normally, it would have been just a simple flame, but it didn’t stop there.

It spread out like a real ‘flower’ that deserved the name.

“Oh?”

“Wow.”

Louis and Becky couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

They couldn’t take their eyes off Trixie’s index finger, which was lit up with a dazzling light.

It was a beautiful and powerful feat.

Becky’s mouth gaped open.

“Wow… That’s amazing. Is this what happened after you solved the tombstone riddle?”

“…”

Trixie nodded her head with a nervous expression.

Becky tilted her head with a puzzled look, but soon her face turned pale as well.

“Wait, wait a minute. Is this the end? What about Lord Gaju’s health?”

“This… No.”

“Huh?”

“It has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to do with immortality.”

Trixie swallowed her dry saliva.

The tremor in her eyes soon spread to her shoulders, and soon after, Trixie started to shake all over.

“What?”

“What did you say?”

Becky and Louis shouted at the same time.

Louis’s face was also filled with an unusual confusion.

“… This is not the time.”

Trixie staggered.

“Dad. I have to see Dad.”

Before they could say anything, Trixie collapsed on the ground.
