Chapter 117: The Academy Dormitory is Big
Chapter 117: The Academy Dormitory is Big
Its finally the day we head to the academy. Led by Ces, we arrived once again at the royal castle.
To tell the truth, Aureitas Magecraft Academy isnt in the Royal Capital. Only the royal family and the twelve sages know its exact location, and one can only go there through special means. Being the case that its a place where children of the nobility and promising youngsters are gathered, this also serves as a countermeasure to make sure that anti-monarchists and spies from other countries are given no clue to its location.
Lily, Urania. Here it is. Here? A magic circle? Thats right, this room itself holds the secret art that only exists in the Kingdom of Aureitas, the magic circle of teleportation.
The whole room is engraved with magic circles. On the floor is a standard circular magic circle, on the roof is a similarly circular magic circle, while geometrical patterns and whats likely to be characters from an ancient language is etched onto the four walls. These patterns and characters are interlinked with each other and the walls no, this whole room functions as a single magical tool.
Amazing its practically a work of art I agree, this is something that you dont see every day. Even I havent seen anything like this before.
Even the estimated 1000+-year-old Arytte hasnt seen a magical tool of this scale before, it seems. From that, I can only guess just how unique this room is.
Lets get it ready. Lily, could you help with this? Of course.
Ces and I inject magic power into the magic circle. This magical tool anchors everything in the space inside the room and teleports it to another location, meaning everything going to the academy should be brought into this room. In reality, cases like these where only a few students use this room arent really permitted, but the Iglesio household cant be treated like commoners and other nobles, so we headed to the academy in advance before any other students arrive.
As more magic power is charged, the magic circles etched into the room began glowing. It gleamed like the starry sky, I nearly let out a sigh from its beauty.
Charging complete. As I thought, its really fast with two people. It exhausts quite the amount of magic, doesnt it? It really does. Still, despite how it seems, it has been through a lot of modifications. Im told that its a lot better compared to how it was originally.
Im told that the creators of this magical tool were the first Sages of Gemini. Other than the Demon Lord of the past and the Sages of Gemini, nobody else has awakened to teleportation magic; for generations, the Sage of Gemini and their relatives have worked on improving teleportation magic and modifying this magical tool. However, they didnt have any eye-catching results and all they could do at most is reduce the magic power required for activation.
Now then, shall we go? Yes. Lets go! Some people get nauseated by this, so stay on your feet.
As we replied to Ces confirmation, the magic circle activates. The patterns glistening from the charged magic power increased its glow to a blinding extent and enveloped us in light. Following that, I felt a sense of weightlessness for a moment and then a powerful pull from gravity. I involuntarily staggered and Urania who was next to me propped me up.
Phgya!?
It seems like Arytte who was flying lost to the pull of gravity and crashed to the ground. Shes holding her nose in tears. Since it cant be helped, I picked her up and sat her on my shoulder.
Uugh Thanks Youre welcome. Ces, have we arrived already? Thats right, weve successfully teleported. As for the teleportation nausea it seems like everybodys fine. Except for Hans.
Hans groaned as he crouched on the floor. Perhaps since hes more used to driving a carriage, it seems like the elevator-like vertical motion of the teleportation is hard on him.
I have been expecting you, White Peer Iglesio. And our new students of Class A, Ms. Lily and Ms. Urania. Hey Sammy. Its been a while, hasnt it? Lily, Urania, this here is the supervisor of the ladies dormitory, Samantha Mauve Tomkin. Oh come now, young master Ces. Theres no need for a formal introduction. Milady Lily and Urania, please call me Sammy. Nn, pleased to meet you. Its a pleasure to meet you, Lad- Ms. Sammy.
Since shes an older noble lady, I was about to call her Lady, but then she glared at me. Miss Sammy is a tawny-haired cat ear-kin older lady, she has been working in the academy dormitory for over thirty years if you include her years as an apprentice. By the time Ces was enrolled, it seems like she was already the dorm mother.
As hinted by the fact we came here through teleportation, this academy is a boarding school. The students can only go home four times annually; once every seasonal break, or when they apply for permission. The students spend their time in the dormitory and we practically never leave the academy grounds.
Milady, this will be your room.
The room we were led to was a room occupying the whole top floor of the second ladies dormitory. Among the students currently enrolled, with us excluded, there are only three people of the white peers household. And only one among these three is female, and Im told that shes living in the first ladies dormitory.
Being that the room occupies the entire floor, its pretty spacious. There are two bathrooms and five beds. It even has its own kitchen and dining area. I guess the previous inhabitants left these here, but its furnished with several magical tools, so comfort here shouldnt be too different from that of the Iglesio Mansion.
Still, its a bit dubious in the security department, so well be remodeling the room later on.
Now then, lets leave the room arrangement to Hans and Est, and have a tour of the academy. Understood.
With a matching reply, the two briskly started arranging the luggage and the room. It seems like theyve already decided on what they would do beforehand, as even without discussing with each other, theyre seamlessly proceeding with their work. It looks like Est is mainly in charge of the bedroom while Hans is in charge of the living room and the kitchen.
Since it should be fine to leave the arrangement to the two, we went with Ces suggestion and asked for an academy tour. And as Ill be meeting with the principal later today, its probably just a quick tour.
