23-incident in front of the school gate




 And then.
 Finally, the day of the test came.

 After half a day of traveling by horse and carriage, we found the royal capital, Midgard, beyond a number of mountains.

 I heard that the royal capital is now largely divided into five sections.

 The eastern part of the market and industrial area facing the port. The southern and northern districts, where merchants and ordinary people live, while the countryside remains intact. The central area where the nobility live. And the west district where various schools and research institutes exist.

 It's splendid. 
 The academy rises like a castle with a majestic appearance.

 According to what I've heard, this Earthria Magic Academy is one of the oldest buildings in Midgard.

 I see.
 It's not just that it's old, it's that it's the most prestigious school in the kingdom.

 It's not just that it's old, the building of the school has a solemn atmosphere where you can feel the weight of history and tradition.

 When I passed through the gate decorated with the design of a silver dragon, I suddenly remembered Lilith's words.

''Abel-sama. The Earthria Magic Academy is a so-called elite school where the top promising students in the country gather. Please do not let your guard down.''

 That's what Lilith overheard me say as I left the house.

 It's not like I'm going to fail an exam with a bunch of students, but it's better to be cautious.

'Hey, hey. I don't see your family crest on your clothes. Could this be the inferiority complex they're talking about?

 In front of the school gates, up the hill to enter the school, he felt the eyes of the people around him gathering.

''This is the worst. The world's greatest magic academy has fallen to the ground.''

'Huh ....... I tell you commoners to stay quiet and plow your fields.

 Hmm.
 From a quick glance, they all look like low-quality, or rather, people who can be called the epitome of a modern magician.

 He is wearing a school uniform. Does that mean they are students in school?

 No, it's a bad idea to be careless.
 Many good sorcerers are skilled at hiding their power at the same time.

 Let's continue to be cautious, just in case.

 
''Why would an inferior eye be applying for our academy?''

'I heard that they got a recommendation from a family that sends a large donation to the school.

Yeah. So, back door then. You'll fail the test, though.

No, no. Maybe they're trying to bribe the examiner.

 Huh. It's not going to change the fact that the 'amber-eyed' magicians are always viewed through colored glasses.

 It's a good thing that even the elite, who are supposed to be the most knowledgeable in this kingdom, have a sense of discrimination.



"I'll do whatever you want me to do! Those guys: ......! You can only judge people by the color of their eyes!

 Oh, man.
 I never thought I'd see the day when Ted would cheer me up. I have fallen, too.

 I don't need to tell you that you were thinking along the same lines not too long ago.
