The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

Chapter 11: Father's Call (2)

Neither my husbands declaration of no allowance nor my sons trembling at the declaration of no allowance is not the main topic right now.

Arson. Calm down.

His wife chided her husband for being unusually heated, and Arson sighed in frustration.

"Well , but more importantly, its about Highness Milica.

Kunon raises an eyebrow at the mention of his future wifes name at this time.

He was not sure how Kunons talk of noble schools and no allowance relates to Milica.

I dont know if you understand it yet, but as her bride, you should do your duty as a nobleman.

Those who do not fulfill their duties as nobles or act in a manner unbecoming of their status will be vulnerable in social circles.

Kunon, would you be okay with His Highness Milica being put on the spot because of you?

I see, thats what you mean.

My relationship with Milica now is excellent.

It was quite awkward at the beginning when they started to be forgiven wives, but now they both recognize that they are to be married in the future.

At least Kunon has no reason to refuse.

Tina and I have decided that you are now capable of performing the duties of a noblemans son.

This is something he would never tell Kunon before he wasnt able to tell him.

He felt that Kunon would probably spend the rest of his life in a small house, without any desire or intention to go out into the world.

If Milica gets married, she will be stuck with Kunon for the rest of her life,, or she will get married but will eventually leave Kunon behind.

Arson had imagined such a not-so-bright future.

However, the situation has changed.

Now Kunon is no longer limited to the world inside the mansion. In fact, he is even gathering information from the outside world.

He spends all of his allowances every month.

He also knows that after he spends it all, he asks his mother for a little extra money.

Kunon will eventually spread his wings to the world through magic.

It may be early or late, but it will happen.

Thats why I had to bring this up.

This may be a chance for Kunon to get out.

Is it the duty of a nobleman to go to school?

Kunon has no desire to go to school at all, and he does not understand the feelings of his parents. It is difficult for a nine-year-old to understand the feelings of his parents.

But Kunon thought about it.

Its a hassle, but if its for Milicas benefit to go, then Im ready to give up.

His ambition to gain visibility is still a ways off.

It would be a shame to ruin his current life, but for Milicas sake, he could at least take a detour

No. As I said before, I dont think you need school.

As I was about to swallow my words with resignation, my father brought up a slightly different subject.

So take the Promotion exams.

Promotion exams?

The noble school is for children of noble families between the ages of six and fourteen. There is no set period of time to attend the school, and you will graduate after passing a number of promotional exams.

Some children graduate as early as a few days after entering the school, while others take their time to learn.

In other words Kunon summed up the story in his mind.

If you pass the promotion exam, you dont need to go to school he concluded.

This is where the story of Ms. Flora comes into play.

Ms.Flora said that he had already completed the scope of his studies at school.

This means that Kunon already has enough knowledge to pass the exam.

Thats why my father is telling me to forget about school and take the promotion test.

As if he is saying, If I take it, youll pass, right?

There are five promotion exams, and Ixio has to pass the next one to graduate.

Really? Youre graduating, brother?

I believe my brother has been in school since he was seven.

Hes eleven now, which means hes been in school for about four years.

When I turned my head towards my brother, Ixio said.

Her Highness Milica will be finished with her next exam. I think shell graduate with me.

Ixio responded, wanting to go to school with his brother, even if only for a few days.

After Ixio graduates from the noble school, he will wait for the next spring to enter the senior noble school.

He is the heir of the Gurion family, so he will help his father with his work and prepare for the coming inheritance.

And Kunon will probably go to the magic school, so we wont have a chance to go to school together if we miss it now.

So Can I graduate with you then? I dont know if I can though.

Ive never been to school, and Ive never taken an exam.

But if Ms.Flora says I already finished the classroom lectures, Kunon had a good chance of passing the exam.

If it doesnt work out, Kunon thought comfortably, Ill just have to think about it then.

The Kunon of before would not have even tried.

What? Youre going to school?

A few days after the family meeting.

I told Milica Huglia, who had come to fulfill her obligation to see her husband once every two weeks, that I was going to the noble school.

Yes. But it seems that Im only going to take a promotion exam.

Oh wow! Thats great! That means Ill be able to spend my school life with you, Kunon!

Is that so? To be honest with you, I dont really know whats going on.

I can tell that Milica is excited.

You can see that she is excitedly petting a cat made of water, but I have no idea of the specifics of this school life.

Dont worry! Your sister will be right there with you!

As Milica is two years older than me, her sisterly nature has grown remarkably over the past two years.

Oh, Ill let you take care of it then.

Yes, leave it to me!

But Im kind of nervous.

What? Are you worried about something?

If I go to school with Her Highness Milica, the boys who like you will be jealous, wont they?

"What, um ah, haha Im sure its fine.

Milica was at a loss for a response.

Im not sure what to say, but she was embarrassed and lost.

Huh?Maybe you are not so popular, or something?

What youre talking about! I am popular! Im still a princess! There are as many boys who like me as there are fingers on my right hand!

In other words, she can think of at least five.

It is difficult to judge whether it is too many or too few, but Kunon decided.

I was only half joking, but it seems that there is a real possibility that someone might hold a grudge against me, so I decided to bring a combat-used wand just in case.
