Chapter 39
“I really don’t like it.”
I didn’t know that when I read the original novel, but seeing it like this, I couldn’t be more disgusted.
I never would have thought that the internal conflict would be so severe.
“…Well, try your best.”
But Ruid had no intention of going forward.
It wasn’t that I was going to tolerate it, it was that there was no need to go forward.
From now on, every day will be quite difficult for the commoners.
This event becomes a trigger.
Until now, no matter how dissatisfied the nobles were, they did not openly discriminate against commoners because of the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor.
Immediately after this incident, they began to openly discriminate against commoners. They say it shows what real oppression is.
In other words, it was like digging their own grave.
To put it in a bad way, he was ignorant, and in a good way, he was honest, so much so that Justin would later regret this incident.
Nobles are basically gentle, but they are scary when angry.
“What will be the disciplinary action?”
Ruid recalled the original content.
Other commoners may have thought it was a perfect justification, but in reality, it could not be passed without any disciplinary action.
The instigator is punished.
Nia Ryan, Catherine Ovillian, and Justin at the helm. These three people were the targets.
However, the level of punishment was low due to the high praise for the courage to step forward without giving in to injustice.
The only punishment given to them was three months of volunteer work. That’s how Ruid remembers it.
“But… the future won’t change if Hersy wins, right?”
This library incident serves as a huge snowball for Justin.
He went out to serve, met a warlock, and came back tattered.
At the academy, you face all kinds of discrimination. Justin feels great guilt when he sees that not only he, but all commoners are oppressed.
But all of that is the driving force that makes Justin strong.
Because adversity and hardship make the protagonist grow.
In that sense, this episode was very important. Being disciplined, being subjected to full-blown discrimination. I couldn’t miss any of it.
But…
-pătrunde.
Hercy is stronger than I thought.
As Ruid lay down and ate Kaymak, he remembered the small cogwheel he had forgotten for a moment.
“…Isn’t it out of balance?”
[The commoners had a hard day. In fact, most of them wanted to run out of the academy right away and return to their hometown. But the reason I didn’t do that was because of Justin.
Justin – Because I haven’t forgotten how I felt when I won against Academy senior Hercy Minerva. Because he saw hope that he too could become like Justin.]
But Hersy did not lose. This is because Justin, who should have gradually learned how to deal with Hercy, was unable to do so.
The difference in skills is so overwhelming.
Ruid smoothed his chin. This is uncomfortable.
“I came to the burning house to put fire to it, but in fact, it was my house that was burning.”
A story is a giant cogwheel.
Even Roid could not have predicted the butterfly effect that would occur due to the disappearance of one small part.
What if commoners desert in large numbers?
Soldiers who will fight the great evil of this world on your behalf!
That was very troublesome.
Ruid immediately thought of a solution.
“…There is no other way to lower the level of bullying.”
There was also the option of telling Hersi to lose.
Of course I didn’t like it.
“I need to make the punishment a little more severe.”
The reason why nobles are so angry about this incident.
There may be some actions of an arrogant commoner, but the biggest thing is the harsh punishment given by the Academy even though he committed such a serious crime.
Ruid wanted to use that to lower the level of oppression of commoners.
To do that, we need to move the president…
Moving the president is very simple.
“That old man will like it if I give him a bribe, right?”
Ruid’s eyes looked at the holy relic, the ‘Glass of Magic’, at the end of this transparent room.

To put it simply, it is the embodiment of ‘infinite power.’ In this silver cup, pure mana fills infinitely.
The uses are endless. If some kind of magic were implemented through that medium, it could last indefinitely.
And only Ruid himself knows that this is here.
It is known that it was lost in a war that took place a long time ago.
Some people even dismiss it as something of legend.
“I should give you this and tell you to impose a disciplinary action that everyone can understand. “Except expulsion.”
Ruid was about to stand up to take out the cup of magic.
“Krrrrr-”
My eyes met a strange-looking chimera with three heads.
It wasn’t there until just now. It was a child who had just been born.
“What is that?”
Ruid frowned and clenched his hands.
“….”
But nothing happened.
When I think about it, it’s so transparent that I just think it’s right in front of me.
It was an entity outside of this space.
Since it was a special room, it seemed like the magic power was blocked there.
“Ha, bother.”
Ruid grumbled slightly and walked forward.
I don’t know what that is, but it’s an uninvited guest who isn’t in the story. It would have been difficult to break in.
Ruid opened the door to space.
The chimera, whose saliva was dripping, looked at Ruid.
Ruid waved his hand half-heartedly.
Kuruk!
The chimera evaporated without a trace.
He returned to the room to get the magic cup again.
Coo coo coo coo-
But then, the ground rang.
“…huh?”
The knight statues standing on both sides simultaneously drew their swords.
“…!”
Ruid was surprised.
At the same time, magic was used against the knights who were about to rush in.

Hercy passed the fallen Justin. The fox waggled its tail and ran against Hersy’s ankles.
[Hercy is strong!]
Hercy shrugged her shoulders for no reason, but when she thought of Ruid, who must be watching from somewhere, her shoulders lowered again.
“This much… it’s the magic power that Ruid uses while eating breakfast.”
[Ah, you can’t compare yourself to the master. I have never seen such a strong person in my life.]
“…Really?”
Hercy recalled Lark.
Originally, Miho was the spirit of Lark.
So, is Ruid stronger than Lark?
As if reading his thoughts, Miho answered right away.
[A warlock cannot be a match for the master.]
“Really?”
[The master’s magical power is not just powerful. It is purer than any other human magical power. Purity is a warlock’s biggest enemy.]
‘As expected, Ruid is amazing.’
Hersy laughed bitterly.
However, his expression hardened as he looked at the scene where a spectacular magic battle was still taking place.
What was needed here was not the usual honest Hersy, but the cold-hearted appearance of Lady Minerva.
“That’s it…”
“That’s it.”
Hercy was surprised.
It was because of a person who appeared at the entrance of the library.
Clifford, President of the Academy. Hereinafter, Chief Professor Phenicia and Leffen Chaser.
Those who had been fighting fiercely just now looked at Clifford with ghostly expressions.
“Uh, how could the President…”
“Boo, I heard you definitely went to the auction house.”
“Did you think I wouldn’t know about an incident like this?”
Clifford shouted.
“You troublemakers!”
The commoners were shocked and took a step back.
The nobles looked triumphant.
“Tsk tsk, it’s a pus that will explode at some point, so I just left it alone. “It turned out to be a bigger job than I expected.”
Clifford looks around the hall with his back turned.
“To vandalize property and attack employees who were handpicked by the academy. “It’s a very good thing to do.”
‘They’re ridiculous.’
Originally, the fight between nobles and commoners was something of an annual event.
However, this rider was a bit unusual.
Although nobles have done terrible things to commoners, this was the first time that commoners protested on a large scale against unfair treatment by nobles.
‘Should I call this amazing?’
As the President of the Academy, who had to give top priority to the will of the first emperor, he had to side with the commoners.
The first emperor established the Academy with the philosophy that ‘every human being has a use.’
Since it would be difficult to implement that term realistically, I hoped that by establishing an academy, there would be at least some level of equality here.
In that sense, the nobles’ actions were a direct violation of the first emperor’s will, but they were actions by commoners that crossed the line in the social order of the empire, not the academy.
But shouldn’t the Academy take their side?
‘I really don’t feel like it.’
However, Archmage Clifford’s opinion was a little different.
Not only was it a cowardly surprise attack, but it was also defeated.
Because of that, I didn’t really want to defend commoners.
“There is no need to drag it out. “I will announce disciplinary action immediately.”
Clifford extended his hand to Phenicia, to his left.
“The instigator, Nia Ryan.”
“Yes, yes?!”
“Justin.”
When no answer came, Clifford frowned grimly.
“Justin!”
Hersy raised his hand with a sullen expression.
“…I knocked him out.”
“What a poor guy.”
Clifford clicked his tongue as he looked at Justin, who was lying down in an unsightly manner, as if he didn’t like him. The next name was recited.
“And- Catherine Ovillian.”
“…yes.”
Clifford looked at Catherine with sharp eyes.
“You should have already been disciplined last time, but you somehow managed to do something like this.”
Catherine’s body flinched and trembled.
“These three are known to be the instigators. “Are there any parts that were investigated incorrectly?”
The commoners kept their mouths shut.
I never imagined that the president would know all the facts.
All of these plans were based on the premise that President Clifford would not intervene.
“I don’t think there is one.”
“Hey, over there.”
Catherine timidly raised her hand.
“Do you have anything to say? “I will give you a chance to excuse yourself.”
“…Justin just couldn’t resist my suggestion and left. “I will take Justin’s share of the punishment.”
“Then I could be expelled?”
However, contrary to his words, Clifford’s expression softened.
Stepping up for a friend was a good virtue. Also, isn’t Catherine a noblewoman?
“Well, don’t worry, I won’t get you expelled.”
Clifford narrowed his eyes and said.
“If we expel something like this, there won’t be any academy students left.”
Clifford read the scroll again.
“The punishment of the 37 people who attacked the library is left to the autonomous will of the person who engaged in magic warfare at least once. However, expulsion is prohibited. “Other than that, anything is fine.”
Clifford looked straight ahead.
“That is the punishment for this Every Library occupation incident.”
“…Mr. President.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Nobles have responsibilities too.”
Catherine had no intention of letting go easily.
“In an academy where everyone is equal, only commoners are allowed to enter…”
Clifford trailed off.
“If you feel unfair, shouldn’t you have achieved victory?”
“yes?”
Catherine was embarrassed.
She was convinced that the rector would punish her. Because I made a fuss.
However, I could not understand that nobles were not guilty.
The fundamental cause is that experts arbitrarily took over libraries that could be used by everyone.
If it’s wrong to make a fuss, does that mean it’s not wrong to own the library as you please?
“You seem to be mistaken about something.”
Clifford said in a loud voice.
“It’s good that there was a magic battle. Rather, I would like to praise you for achieving the magic competition autonomously. however.”
Clifford looked at the commoners.
“It is unacceptable to have an advantageous timing and a surprise attack, but to lose without being able to do anything.”
“Okay, President.”
Catherine stepped forward.
She was scared, but the resentment was greater than that.
But Clifford dismissed it.
“Be quiet! “I can barely resist the urge to expel you three!”
Catherine became completely mute.
“What are you doing! “Hurry up and don’t disperse!”
“Yes, yes.”
The students left in a hurry.
The nobles walked out in a relaxed manner, giving a polite greeting to Clifford. It was a face that seemed refreshing.
Hersi opened his eyes quickly and moved belatedly. hug the fox
“Hercy.”
“yes?”
Clifford stopped Hersey.
“Hmm, wasn’t that guy involved in this incident?”
“…yes. As far as I know.”
Clifford ate his food with a regretful expression.
‘Eh, tsk, I was just trying to catch some pods.’
It was Clifford who wanted to order anything when he saw Ruid with his eyes half-closed due to laziness.
So I felt regretful. If he was a guy who liked showing off, he would have made a big deal out of it and had a good justification.
“okay. “Go and see.”
“four.”
Hersy walked forward and looked around, wondering, ‘Where is Ruid really?’
It was then.
thud!
Suddenly, the ceiling collapsed with a heavy explosion. Clifford quickly set up a barrier to protect the students.
Kwakagagak-!
The walls of the ceiling collapsed and became a mess.
The problem is that it wasn’t just debris from the ceiling that fell from above.
Hercy muttered with a blank face.
“…Luid?”
Ruid sat down and blinked his eyes.
My butt hurt.
Gang.
The cup of magic fell on Ruid’s head.
Jang.
The cup of magic was broken in two.
Ruid looked at the president, whose pupils were shaking violently, and tried to scold him.
“…ouch.”
Miho excitedly ran over and licked Ruid’s face.
