The Status Window Disappeared

Saydran Royal Academy (1)

But how do you hide in Seid, the most prestigious academy on the continent?

That question popped up in Chris’s head, but he didn’t dare to say it.

The devil’s handling of work is never lax.

Perhaps Elgar has already finished all the preparations.

She grabbed Chris’ head and cast the spell on it.

Then, Chris’s vision drastically lowered.

I don’t know what Elgar did, but he looks quite satisfied.

One of her ladies-in-waiting quickly raised a mirror and stood in front of Chris.

“This… … .”

The reflection in the mirror is a boy in his early to mid-teens.

The face still has a youthful look, but nonetheless, a slim and thin look oozes out.

He definitely belongs to the handsome axis, but should I say that he has an annoying impression for some reason.

Elgar enjoyed watching Chris’ expression and explained the details of the setting.

“From now on, you will become Raiden, the second son of Count High Sword. Raiden is 13 years old this year, and was scheduled to enter the military department of the Royal Academy called Seid.”

“Are you Count High Sword?”

When it comes to high swords, surely Sade is one of the most famous families in the kingdom.

Although he is a local aristocrat, his territory and military power are so great that even the royal family cannot be treated carelessly.

In fact, in this world, provincial nobles with good estates are treated much better than those in the capital city.

If Chris entered the academy as High Sword’s second son, what would happen to the real guy?

Elgar, reading his thoughts from Chris’ expression, shook his head.

“Don’t worry, that has already been taken care of.”

“Ah yes. By the way, you were originally enrolled in the Military Faculty?”

Chris, who didn’t dare to ask further, hurriedly turned away.

Then Elgar noticed his intentions and answered with a smile.

“High Sword, as the name suggests, is a family that produced outstanding swordsmen. So, it’s normal for those children to learn swords or become generals… You are a strange species who chose the path of magic despite the opposition of your family.”

“All right.”

“There is little time left until admission, so for the time being, learn the knowledge and etiquette of nobles. Anyway, the academy will teach you magic step by step from the basics. I don’t want to go to the top of the grade, but at least you don’t fail.”

The identity Elgar had prepared belonged to a 13-year-old boy.

At the age of 13, he will enter the Royal Academy as a first-year student, so it is difficult to learn proper magic right away.

After all, her true purpose must be to test whether she can properly hide the magic of absorption.

Chris, feeling the burden of his new status, learned the etiquette of nobles and the situation at home and abroad from Elgar’s ladies-in-waiting.

Even if they were given camouflage status, I thought it would belong to an insignificant lower nobleman, but it was actually one of Seidran’s pillars.

Speaking of High Sword’s son, even the second son would draw considerable attention.

So, if you act complacently, there is a high chance of getting a big nose injury.

Could it be that Elgar deliberately chose this status for the sake of the experiment?

Even if I thought about it alone, there was no way I could receive a different identity.

All Chris could do was learn to die.

Fortunately, Elgar’s ladies-in-waiting were undead, but they were good at education.

Although it was far from expected, this is truly a genius opportunity.

A chance to pay off Elgar’s debt and explore the Black Flag lab.

Thinking that way, it seems that the desire that was not there is rising little by little.

Chris, who devoted himself to learning for about a month, was finally able to confidently enter the academy he had been looking forward to.

I was a little anxious because I had the magic of sucking magic in my heart, but for now, I vaguely decided to believe in the demon king’s ability.

A splendid entrance ceremony at a magnificent academy.

The old-fashioned academy site was crowded with foreign students and aristocrats from all over the continent.

Chris carefully drove the ghost horse with a trembling heart.

It was fortunate that there was no theology department for political reasons.

I thought riding a horse to the academy’s entrance ceremony was a bit excessive, but… … .

The status of the students was so great that the horses were basic and there were a lot of people who rode fancy carriages.

If he had come on foot rather than on horseback, he would have been noticed.

Chris put the ghost horse in the stable of the academy dormitory.

This guy is going to rest very comfortably for the time being.

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sick to my stomach.

The Ghost Horse entered a spacious, pleasant, comfortable stable, lay down on the soft hay, and waved its front paw at Chris.

Since the name is a royal academy, even the lodgings of animals are incomparably better than those of ordinary inns.

No, this should be seen as better than a room in a decent inn.

“Hee hee hee!”

“Come on, I’ll be back.”

Chris responded grumpily and deliberately walked down a deserted street.

The site of the Royal Academy was really large, bigger than a decent village.

Even though he studied hard for a month, he didn’t have the confidence to fit in well with the other nobles.

If you made a classmate, there was a possibility that your identity would be revealed.

Because of this, Chris decided to play a loner early on.

Fortunately, thanks to his lonely school days on Earth, he was very familiar with it.

I don’t know, but once you start, there’s a high probability that you won’t be able to tell whether it’s real or fake.

Chris passed by an alley lined with old lodgings and soon found a very unusual sight.

In front of an old building, inside a well-kept flower bed.

A small schoolgirl was diligently pulling the grass.

Although he was wearing the uniform of the Royal Academy.

Besides, the badge on the chest belonged to a first year student, though.

Nevertheless, it looks like it has been worn for years and is in tatters.

The female student, who was clearly a commoner, found Chris while diligently putting grass in an old bag similar to the clothes she was wearing.

“Oh, hello!”

“… … .”

According to the academy’s school rules, all students are equal, but the status system that they have experienced throughout their lives cannot be so easily ignored.

The girl, who quickly lowered her head, barely raised her head after Chris hesitated to say hello.

After greeting her, she waits for Chris’ words with sullen eyes.

Chris couldn’t help but say something because he couldn’t overcome the awkward atmosphere.

“What are you doing? Did you pull weeds?”

“no. It’s not a weed, it’s an edible plant. It’s tasteless, but it’s a grass that can be eaten raw, so that’s enough… Shall I plant it again?”

Chris was at a loss for words again.

I wondered if this was the latest joke in the kingdom of Sade, but the girl’s expression was serious.

Looking at the trembling eyes, I think I would cry if I told them to plant it again.

Seeing that, I don’t want to be involved any more.

Neither the peace of the well-kept flower beds nor the diet of this female student are her part-time job.

Chris just stopped thinking, shook his head, and decided to turn a blind eye.

Seidran Royal Academy is big and wide, so it wouldn’t be strange if one of these kinds of people enrolled.

Shortly after arriving at the place where the entrance ceremony was being held, Chris found numerous students, teachers, and a woman standing on top of the podium.

The woman is tall and well-built, and has the impression of being as bold as a man.

That woman is the sister of King Seidran.

The sanctuary in the capital, Saidran, is the principal who oversees the academy.

Within the premises of this academy, that woman boasts so much power that it is said that she is the king.

Lined up under the podium are the top students from each department.

Arriving earlier than others, they were waiting for the oath of freshmen with a firm attitude.

By the way, one of the lines of undergraduate students lined up.

The top entrant to the Faculty of Magic hasn’t shown up yet.

Chris stood calmly, ignoring the gaze of others.

It’s not like he has the High Sword family written on his forehead.

There were already whispers of his name around him.

In particular, the degree was greater in the military department than in the magic department.

“Why does a person with a high sword bother to go to the Faculty of Magic… … .”

“It was a bit gloomy for a high sword.”

After all, because of the history of the family, I can’t hear good things.

However, once Chris gave him a glare, that was allayed.

Even if he is the second son, quite a few nobles lose heart in front of High Sword.

Fortunately, the attention focused on him was soon removed.

It was because at the front of the line where the students of the Faculty of Magic were lined up, there was a lineage higher than that.

Rosefeld Seidran, the second daughter of King Seidran, was the main character.

Unlike Chris, who was standing hesitantly at the back of the line.

She was already straight at the waist, surrounded by her followers.

Her attitude and face are very pretty, but she looks a bit fussy.

“Isn’t that Mr. Rosefeld?”

“Sade is a royal family because high sword is not enough. It would be nice for the magic school kids.”

How long had it been since you overheard gossip about her?

Finally, when all the students gathered, the long-awaited entrance ceremony began.

Immediately after the dean’s short speech, the top students from each department went up on the podium in turn and took the freshman oath.

But when it was the turn of the Faculty of Magic, the top student who hadn’t been seen before appeared.

Chris bit his tongue slightly as he checked her figure.

Standing in front of the dean was a weed girl with a snarky look.

As she was pulling weeds in the flower bed earlier, she read the oath in a nervous yet lively voice.

If it was a normal academy, she wouldn’t have been chosen as the chief for the honor of the nobles, but the situation was a little different because this was the dean’s kingdom.

However, it was inevitable that gossips would come out of the students’ mouths.

It wasn’t enough that the top student in the Faculty of Magic was just a commoner, so to come out looking like such a poor person.

Chris usually didn’t like nobles, but he couldn’t curse at the nobles who clicked his tongue a little.

Not only did the clothes have been patched here and there, but they came out covered with dirt and grass, so honestly, it deserves to be criticized.

The excuse that it is simply difficult is not working.

Even if you are a commoner, if you become the top student, you will be exempted from tuition and receive a considerable amount of scholarship.

However, if the faculty she entered was a mediocre place, that was not the case either.

The Faculty of Magic is the most popular of all the academies.

Sade is the Faculty of Magic where other countries and wizards are trying hard to catch up.

‘Scholarship aside… Rich sponsors would have lined up when they were at the top of their class, so why are you such a sucker?’

The moment when Chris, slightly dumbfounded, came up with the same question as others.

The dean, the queen of the academy, silenced everyone with a cold voice after receiving the oath from the new students.

“The oath was well done. However, if you come out like this again and damage the academy’s honor, you are the top and you will be expelled.”

“I’m sorry!”

The freshman, who bowed his head, descended as if running away from the podium.

Chris decided not to get involved with her as much as possible, and headed to the dorm as soon as the entrance ceremony was over.

The accommodations at the Royal Academy were clean and cozy.

A space that can be used by one person without any inconvenience.

Because it is an affluent neighborhood, 1 room per person is standard.

One bed, one table, and one chair.

The composition of the furniture was quite simple, but all of them were of high quality.

Servants are not allowed in this academy, so having a room larger than this would only make it difficult to manage.

After unpacking his things in the corner of the room, Chris first hid his sword deep in the closet.

Possession of weapons is prohibited in the academy, but this is not a prison.

There was no way he could search the nobles’ luggage one by one from the time he entered school.

Besides, it is not a sin to keep it in your accommodation without knowing it.

Chris next took out the phoenix’s magic palace and mirror ring and hid them under the bed.

When these two epic items are shown, Chris’ identity is revealed.

I didn’t know about the bulky bow, but I wanted to carry the mirror ring on my body, but I felt it didn’t mean much since I could summon it by just calling it’s name anyway.

After finishing the camouflage as cleverly as possible using thread, needle, and rope, Chris stepped back and watched the results of his work.

It wasn’t simply tucked under the bed, it was camouflaged with a piece of cloth, so unless it was thoroughly searched it would go undetected.

‘good. Then let’s go find the black flag guys.’

Chris set out to implement his plan with high expectations.
