Once Taetherton received confirmation that magic would be used, he loosened his grip. Kleio took a deep breath, having held it in case the blade pierced his throat. Even a dulled blade stung when pressed to bare skin. Taetherton carefully placed the onyx from Phyton, obtained in the earlier fight, onto Melchior’s hand. ‘He sure treats his lord and others with a clear difference in temperature,’ Kleio thought, as he opened his circle. His body and mind sparked with glassy pain. A new…

Cleio, using to watch the arena and the judges’ table, let out a suppressed moan. ‘To pit Pierce against Arthur—this is bad. Isn’t this going to expose everything?’ Of course, Arthur had stopped hiding his strength to some extent, and with not only his enemies but also potential supporters among the spectators, it was good to show some of his abilities. However, with Aslan’s intentions unknown, letting Arthur face Pierce was extremely risky. ‘Surely they’re not planning to harm…

Tristain Knight Order (1) Clayeo just blinked. He was so shocked it felt like the alcohol he’d drunk was churning all the way up his esophagus. "But the moment he broke the , a small void appeared within him. Do you believe in something like innate nature, Asser student? I don’t. I’ve seen that a person, as the sum of memory and experience, collapses when they lose their memories." "So you’re saying that purely because he lost his memories, Pierce Klagen became a petty man who changes his…

Final Exams (2) In the prime seats in front of the lecture hall next to the stands sat Zebedi, Professor Maria, and an external official—Capital Defense Force Magic Corps Commander Thaddeus Yetzkel—as the magic division examiners. An assistant stood beside them, holding a trumpet-shaped magical device enchanted with magic to conduct the exam. The device functioned like a loudspeaker. “Student Cleio Asher, please briefly explain the magic you will demonstrate.” “It’s a single…

After hardship comes settlement (3) When she saw the two men blinking cluelessly, Dione lost interest in teasing them. “Sigh, what am I supposed to say with these blockheads. By the way, young master, if you rest again, are your attendance days still okay? What about the midterm exams?” “It's the same for me, and for Ray as well—the dean officially approved our medical leave, so who’s going to question our attendance days? For the subjects we missed exams in due to injury, they treated…

The Asser Family’s Dinner (2) The dinner lasted for three full hours. It was the first formal dinner after reopening the capital mansion, and with Gideon visiting as well, the splendor of the table that day was beyond words. Concentrating on her plate with the mindset that she should eat well before all the business began, Clayeo couldn’t help but harbor reasonable doubts. ‘Does Mrs. Canton use magic, too? How did she prepare all this in just half a day without magic?’ Four servants…

Article and Attribution (2) Kleio did not know what triggered Melchior to experience the flood of madness. That was not mentioned in the previous manuscript either. The drop of blood forming at the sharp chin of the crown prince and falling to the floor sounded like a kind of early century. The of the beast was stopped as if burned by Melchior's skill. Neither Arthur nor Taetherton dared to intervene between the clash of that tremendous ether. The outlines of the two trembling and howling…

The Stage of Enactment (2) “There’s an intruder! They’re targeting the stage!” Fran, appearing from the opposite side of Nebo, shouted urgently. As if responding to his voice, Gehaim Zinger, who had been bowing his head in the middle of the stage, looked up. For a moment, it felt as if time had stopped. It was a horribly inappropriate moment of “Fascination.” Not only Cleio, who couldn’t activate “Separation,” but even the strong-willed Arthur and Fran stopped moving as…

Amphitheater (3) Cleio somehow managed not to doze off. It was mostly thanks to Arthur. The conflict between his sibling Antigone, who tried to bury the dead Polynices, and King Creon, who forbade the traitor’s funeral by royal edict, seemed strange to Arthur as well. “Hey, what the heck is this? The sister just wants to bury her dead brother, so why is the king so mad? And what’s with how he acts toward his son’s fiancée?” “That order represents the positive law, the law of…

The Queen’s Garden (5) Arthur was the first to draw his sword. “All right then, Ishiel and I will cover you and get you inside, Ray? Chel will stand guard outside.” “That’s right. I’ll open the circle after getting as close to the ‘Master Clock’ as possible. I’ll burn everything within the circle, so just take care of the ones outside it. Got it?” Chel, curious about Cleio’s unusually proactive attitude, quickly figured out the reason. “You always hold back, but now…

Towards a reprint! (3) On Arc Street, downstream on the east bank of the Tempus River, printing, bookbinding, and book finishing businesses were densely clustered together. Cleio, who got off the carriage first, stood by the door and helped Dione get down. Since the alley was narrow and the ground was rutted, Cleio had to focus all her attention on supporting Dione. The street, whose ground was worn into wheel shapes due to the ceaseless passage of carts and carriages, now even felt familiar to…

Cleio Aser, who registered at age 17 (5) The next afternoon, as Cleio was taking a nap after returning from his classics class, an uninvited guest woke him up. It was a hotel page sent by Katarina, Chel’s mother and a hotel entrepreneur. The page brought a sealed envelope. The envelope was made of thick paper and decorated with elegant patterns. The page himself was tall and wore the De Neige hotel chain’s uniform, not a wrinkle in sight. ‘She certainly is someone obsessed with…

Amphitheater (4) “I didn’t know that ‘someday’ would come this quickly.” Cleio slowly turned his head. The boy gazed at Arthur with a face as dry as if he had lived a century. Without surprise or fear. Even when the worst happens, if it was something you expected, it brings a faint sense of release. That kind of relief lingered in Cleio’s demeanor. Though it was happening for the first time in his life, somehow Arthur felt as if he had always known it would come to this. If you…

Thanks to the magic activated with the magic stone ruby, the rate of ether consumption was slower, so he had not yet lost consciousness. 'Not yet, and today I absolutely can't let go of my senses.' Now both Grendels clung to Arthur. The one whose back had been split charged with its legs and neck cut, but was finally devoured by the magical fire. Beg's sword, enchanted by Kleio's magic, not only burned the beast's mercury but also seemed to draw it in. 'That's the effect of the…

For an Impermanent Peace (3) “If it is the logic of this world to give and then snatch away, then the logic of this world is wrong for me. You, being the will of God in human form, could never agree with me on that, of course.” Melchior’s tone remained elegant, but beneath it simmered anger. Cleio steadied himself, resisting the urge to leap out the window and flee, and replied, “Though the workings of God I cannot predict have granted me a portion of the truth about this world, such…

Three Springs (5) Cleio, now experiencing his third spring here, knew all the seasons of Albion. In summer, the sun rose early and did not set until nine o'clock. In winter, night began at three-thirty. Instead of heavy snow or rain, gray weather continued for a long, long time. Messages regarding the degree of narrative intervention surfaced only very occasionally once the cumulative rate exceeded 50%. "Promise" no longer intruded upon Cleio's life as frequently as before. He no longer…

“Unlike Lady Tanpete de Neige or the only daughter of Viscount Kishion, to the nobility you are as good as someone born yesterday. You’re a hero of the capital and have been granted knighthood, but you haven’t attended any social gatherings, and no one knows you personally.” One prince has decorated a mage, the second prince is digging into his background, and the third prince considers him a companion in adventure. Anyone sensitive to the flow of power will soon turn their attention to…

Kleio knew the source of that smell as if it were etched into his bones. It was the smell of the underground prison at the North Gate, where he had been confined until three days ago. ‘Was he interrogating Arthur? There’s nothing special to find out from him—what on earth was he trying to force?’ His head throbbed for a moment, but he straightened his back and held his head high, not wanting to show it. The world had not yet been shaken. If things went according to plan, Arthur would…

Amphitheater (2) "Well, I guess that’s just adult circumstances. Breaking up doesn’t mean you stop loving each other." "Ugh, I don’t get it." The emperor of Rome urges Berenice to leave, yet tells her she is the only one he’ll love and desire until he dies. 'Hmm. This is really too subtle a story for an eighteen-year-old. Seriously, dear author, this is not it.' Cleio was starting to miss the video content rating system he always used to criticize. "Whether you get it or not, at…

Introduction to History (1) “The excerpts will be serialized once a week in the weekend edition of . For four weeks! Since the book is on the thin side, I think this is enough.” As the project neared completion, Dione’s voice became lively. “It’s a respectable publication, and the length seems just right.” “We’re promoting it with posters, and in newspapers and magazines, too. Do you have any other ideas?” Clio added his opinion without hesitation. “Hmm, this is…
