Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Meetings with the dean have been going on since the day before admission.

With all due respect, Almark pulled a heavy door and walked into the dean's office, and Yologue was in the middle of an administrative job, looking through some paperwork. He glanced up at Almark and immediately dropped his eyes on the documents again.

"Oh, you're here, Almark."

Running the pen on the paperwork while saying so.

"... I don't know, school life?"

"Yes, very fresh every day"

I see. Above all else. "

Yologue is still moving his hands as busy as ever without looking at Almark.

"I'm listening. I hear there's been a lot going on."

"Yes"

Almark nods with a bitter smile.

"I have received a report from my teacher."

Although the tone of the yologue was not harsh, Almark was a little nervous. I wonder what kind of reports have been made.

"As for me, I'd like to hear that from your own mouth. What happened at the academy and what did you think about it?"

"... okay."

Almark told Yologue about the past. Class, class, teacher. Magic, the magic failure of the lamp, and the special training of meditation. Wendy's tears and torque. And in martial arts class today. Talk about them concisely, sharing your thoughts from time to time.

From time to time, the yologue nodded and whispered laughter without getting caught in my mouth.

When I was finished, Yolog put the pen down for the first time and looked at Almark.

"You seem to be having a meaningful time."

"Yes"

Almark nodded.

"The magic at heart is more glamorous."

And about that, Dr. Ilmis said,

"Don't let him down."

Hmm.

Yologue nodded.

"Believe in his words. Time to learn and think about magic. And spend time with your friends. Both are the time you need to stand as a magician. [M] Don't neglect me."

"Yes"

Are you okay?

"Nothing."

"That's how you train differently. I was surprised to suddenly use the dragon's flame that year and walk home that day."

"Miss Ilmis and Miss Celia helped me. I've been saved by everyone for the last ten days. [M] For Wendy and Morgan. I couldn't do anything by myself."

"Hmm, that feeling leads to magic. Never forget. By the way...."

Yologue turned the subject.

Do you have enough money?

"Ah, yes. It's useless."

Schools provide students with clothing and lodging, i.e. uniformed robes and clothes, daily meals, dormitory rooms free of charge, but they also provide students with a small amount of money each month to buy daily necessities and hobbies. Everyone does that and buys confectionery in the city on holidays, but apart from that, some kids have a lot of service from their wealthy parents.

I see. Your father has asked for you many times. [M] Please don't hesitate to say anything. "

"Yes"

Almark was gradually wondering why the dean had called him.

"Um, what can I do for you today..."

The yologue smiled and said, "I'm done."

Tell Kyoton and Almark to leave now.

Wendy and her worried faces greeted Almark, who left the dean's office without knowing what was going on. When Almark asked Bowen to go to the dean's office, it happened that Morgan, who was nearby, heard the words and told everyone about them. After that, because Almark really went to the dean's office, there was a tail on the story, and since Almark remained in the dean's office for a long time, speculation called for speculation, and it seemed that Almark would be punished by the dean. If he failed, he might have left school.

Almark laughed bitterly and said he would not dispose of it, thanking his friends who had worried so much about him.

These kinds of goodwill without profit and loss accounts are rarely seen by northerners. The words are bad, but northerners will see this kind of goodwill as "foolishness" and "weakness."

But this goodwill has helped him to this day. It has been accepted thanks to this goodwill. And today, I was able to repay that favor. Born north in his own way.

Glad to see Wendy and Morgan stroking down her chest, Almark finally became part of the class.
