Episode 77. Adrias’ flower
Everyone watched the situation with curious expressions at the sudden reaction of Cashuren.
However, the situation became more complicated when Diene joined.
“Adrias. Did you really make this?”
Diene said so, and now even the professor looked carefully at the bud I had made, wondering if he had missed something.
Then, slowly, his expression hardened and he asked me.
“Student Adrias must have taken the magic circle lecture before, right?”
I was about to ask if there was, but I recalled my memory when I saw the professor talking as if I must have heard it.
Have I ever taken a magic circle lecture?
To be honest, the flower I created now was created by borrowing the experience in the game, so it was meaningless to listen to the lecture and not listen, but I nodded my head soon.
“I heard about it when I was in first grade.”
“1 Grade? The form and type of spells used were not to be said to have been learned at that time….”
The students, not realizing why we were making such a fuss, looked at us with eyes eager for an explanation.
Eventually, Keshun spoke first.
“This flower. It doesn’t look like much, but advanced orders have entered. Originally, it is difficult to implement a life-related spell into a magic circle, but anyone here can create at least one flower.”
At Keshun’s words, the onlookers nodded their heads.
“But now, this flower created by student Adrias is an advanced result of not only basic ‘nature’ and ‘life’ spells, but also ‘time’, ‘rotation’ and ‘reversal’.”
“hour?”
“yes. Seemingly it is just a single flower, but it keeps him in reverse and at the same time casts spells of time and rotation to wither it.”
Despite Keshurn’s explanation, the students looked at it with an expression of what it was.
Then Diane helped out from the side.
“To put it simply, it means that it is withering away in a green state. They created a ‘contradiction’ with the simplest forms of spells.”
contradiction.
It is the most basic principle in magic, but the principle that becomes the most difficult the more you dig into it.
If you can handle or understand this contradiction, your skills as a mage will go one step further.
Although it wasn’t as large-scale as Keshurn’s or as flashy as Diene’s, the intentions and the form of the spell itself were unmatched.
“This is truly admirable. To put such meaning and intention into a simple flower. My magic circle was useless, meaningless garbage.”
I shook my hand at Keshun’s sudden self-deprecation.
Since I have to be friends with Keshurn forever, I must act like a good student.
“no. I just made it without thinking, but student Keshurn and Diene lift me up so much. If that’s the case, I’m in trouble. And if the magic circle made by Keshurn contains only the contradictions I intended, the result is incomparable to flowers like this.”
“I put contradictions in my magic circle….”
Upon hearing my words, Keshun immediately took up his paper and fell into deep thought.
With him at the head, even Diane and the other students looked into the magic circle they created and began to think about how to give it a different meaning, if not contradiction.
‘okay. that’s what i wanted I hope they grow up quickly and help me.’
The reason I made this flower bud.
This is to inspire Keshurn and Diene, so please take your own direction and accept it well.

Grace Mayn has been having the worst day of her life these past few days.
‘Damn it, damn it!’
After the day he was beaten by Adrias Cromwell, the students of the exchange meeting only avoided seeing him.
It was a look of ridicule and contempt, but Grace couldn’t stand it.
‘I am the master of the Roar of Dawn and the enemy of Mayrne Kingdom! How dare you ignore me?’
All because of Adrias Cromwell.
In addition, the woman who was with him, named Vivian, was also outrageous.
Wouldn’t this have happened if he had eaten with himself from the beginning and got to know each other?
He didn’t know that he would arrogantly refuse to have a meal with him, the third prince of Mayrne.
‘This guy and that guy. I want to kill them all.’
In addition to that, Adrias Cromwell showed an excellent appearance in the magic circle lecture with the members of the exchange club, to the point where the envy reached its peak.
Adrias, who was only a beginner mage, was acting like that.
“Ugh.”
Unable to hold back his anger, he left the luxurious accommodation temporarily prepared for the students of the exchange club.
It was a bit chilly outside, but the coat made of luxurious fabric did not feel the cold.
Now, in Grace’s head, only the desire to return to her hometown was desperate.
It was early in the morning when everyone was asleep, so I heard the voice of an unknown person while wandering around the open air.
“this. Isn’t this Her Highness Grace from Mirco Academy?”
“Who are you!”
When an unidentified person appeared, the nervous Grace hurriedly took out her wand and looked at it.
Then the opponent raised both hands and smiled.
“iced coffee. You don’t have to be so vigilant. My name is Antonio Holt, I am a senior at Laudelen Academy.”
“Hmm. That’s right. It’s not like I’m surprised at all. It’s because I’ve become more cautious since I’ve been burned here, so please understand.”
“yes. sure. It’s a royal highness, but that level of caution is essential.”
“By the way, why did you suddenly talk to me? How did you know I was a prince?”
At Grace’s question, Antonio gave a sly smile and shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, I heard rumors. It is said that the prince of the Mayr royal family personally attended the exchange meeting. But from what I’ve heard, it looks like you got caught up in something bad?”
Suddenly, at Antonio’s words, which seemed to open the wound with a dagger, Grace’s face flushed red.
So angry that Grace couldn’t even speak properly.
“You, you, you bastard! How dare you make fun of this Grace Mayr, who is now the third prince and the enemy of the Mayr royal family!”
“It can’t be. I’m just here to introduce you to something nice that might help Prince Grace.”
Antonio took a potion bottle out of his pocket and held it up.
Seeing that, Grace let out a rough breath and asked.
“What do you mean? What is that potion?”
“This is an amazing potion that temporarily improves physical abilities and increases mana. It was very specially airlifted.”
“what? I can’t believe that such a potion exists.”
“Of course, it is the prince’s will to believe. But I can say with certainty that it is not a lie. How dare I deceive Your Highness?”
At Antonio’s words, Grace nodded.
I didn’t know if the author’s name was the real Antonio, but at least I couldn’t deceive myself unless I knew that impression and the magic department.
“So you’re saying you’re going to sell that potion to me?”
“Exactly. If you purchase, I will provide reagents for samples. What would you like?”
“joy! That much money is overflowing. Pretending to be deceived, I will go along with your plans.”
“thank you. majesty.”
Grace paid a fortune and received a potion from Antonio.
Antonio smiled and bowed his head.
“It was a really good deal. Then I’ll be on my way.”
“If you drink this and it doesn’t have the effect you said, I’ll go there right away and beat you up.”
“of course.”
After that, Antonio slowly withdrew.
A meaningful smile lingered on his lips.
“After drinking, even if you want to visit me, you won’t be able to find me. haha.”
After Antonio disappeared, Grace immediately took the sample she received as a bonus.
Then, as Antonio said, the effect began to appear immediately.
“Unbelievable….”
This was a revolution in the potion world.
Even though there is such a potion, why didn’t you sell it right away?
It was well worth the amount he paid.
‘This overflowing power! It’s just this much strength after drinking a sample the size of this fingernail.’
The potion received from Antonio is nearly 10 times the capacity of the sample.
I wondered how much of an effect it would have if I took all of it.
“If this!”
Grace’s mind was full of thoughts of Adrias.
Adrias Cromwell, who humiliated himself in front of everyone.
It seemed that it was not long before he was punished.

After watching the lecture with the members of the exchange meeting, Diene, who wanted to stop by the training room, hardened her expression at the sudden appearance of an unexpected person.
‘Vivian Velocan.’
Her sudden visit made even the world’s Diene nervous.
A student from the Faculty of Engineering who didn’t even know his name until the tournament.
However, his skills were stronger than any opponent he encountered in the tournament.
‘If I hadn’t had the battle experience against Adrias, I would have been the one to lose.’
If she had met Vivian first without fighting Adrias, her swordsmanship had reached a state of maturity to the extent that she would have lost.
I didn’t know why this talent had gone unnoticed until now, but that didn’t matter.
The important thing now is why she came to see her after the tournament, when she had no contact with her.
“Diene Alven.”
“long time no see. What are you doing?”
When Diene and Vivian met, it drew a lot of attention from the people around them.
The winner and runner-up of the tournament.
In addition, they were both outstanding in appearance, so attention was drawn to them.
“I heard everything.”
That’s what the word came all of a sudden.
Diene relaxed her frozen expression and asked.
“Did you hear everything? What are you talking about?”
“I heard that Adrias gave you flowers.”
Why is Adrias Cromwell suddenly here?
But when I listened to Vivian, I understood what she was talking about.
Speaking of Adrias and the flower, you must be referring to the one from the magic circle lecture recently.
“yes. He gave it to me because I asked for it. Is there any problem?”
“…eww.”
Vivian, who suddenly became angry, lowered her head, then slowly raised her head.
Biting her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, as if slightly resentful. It was Diene who wanted to do that.
“Can you give me that?”
“yes? ah! The magic circle Adrias gave you?”
“huh.”
I couldn’t understand why a student from the Knights Faculty wanted to have a magic circle.
Are you going to do some research? No, the Faculty of Knights?
Although she didn’t understand Vivian’s actions, Diene, who happened to have a piece of paper containing Adrias’ magic circle in her arms, took it out and tried it.
“Is that a flower?”
“yes. First of all, I have it for reference, so it’s a bit unfortunate to give it… ….”
When Diene slurred, Vivian’s expression turned grim.
Diene sighed, weakened by the look on her face, like that of a crying puppy.
“great. I can make my own anyway. It’s just that the idea is great, but you can draw it.”
After saying that, Diene opened the folded paper and injected mana into it.
Then, a blue bud slowly emerged.
“Wow.”
Vivian, whose expression brightened at once, carefully accepted the paper Diane handed her.
And then someone intervened between the two.
“uh. Senior Diane and senior Vivian.”
After the lecture, Lucia approached with sleepy eyes.
The corner of his mouth was smiling, so it was ambiguous whether he was sleeping or laughing.
“Lucia.”
“uh? Could this be it? The contradiction of Adrias Cromwell in rumors.”
“that’s right.”
The streets had already become crowded.
Diene and Vivian alone stopped the people on their way, but when Lucia appeared, everyone was looking at it, as if it was like a collection of celebrities.
“Eh? Is there something missing in this?”
Lucia, who was looking at the flower buds, said.
At her words, Diene tilted her head.
“Are you missing?”
“Look here. Isn’t this a bit awkward?”
Looking at where Lucia pointed, the corner of the magic circle was a little awkward.
In fact, I had already discovered it, but even that was Diene, whom I thought Adrias intended.
However, Lucia’s words broke the prejudice a little.
‘Is that your intention? Was it unintentional?’
Aside from Diene, who was starting to get confused, Lucia suddenly started arranging mana.
“If you connect this part more smoothly, and at this point, if you put a ‘flow’ spell… ….”
She immediately repaired Adrias’s magic circle.
Then, the awkward gap in the magic circle disappeared, and a new light was emitted from the smooth magic circle, and the flower buds began to move.
“Huh huh?”
“and!”
The buds have begun to bloom.
And with it, something hidden was revealed.
“ha ha ha….”
“Lie! Adrias-senpai really did this?”
Diene’s insane laughter, Lucia’s astonishment, and Vivian’s interjection.
Passers-by who were watching around could not keep their mouths shut at the sudden scenery.
It is a vast fairy flower field created by fantasy.
The double magic circle that Adrias had hidden was drawn on the blue petals that bloomed from the flower buds.
