    ◈ Episode 198: The One Who Doesn’t Dream (1)

    A classroom for Ludger’s classes.

    Aidan smiled shyly and scratched his head.

    “For some reason I just got mad this time.”

    The last day of the festival.

    At the height of the fireworks display I fought against the remnants of the Black Dawn and won.

    No one was injured and the event that only happens once a year was prevented from taking its worst turn.

    But what Aidan and his friends got back was a penalty point.

    “but. “I was too reckless this time.”

    Aidan was confident that everything would turn out well but knowing it himself and seeing it from others have different perspectives.

    I had no choice but to accept that I received a penalty point.

    The only thing I’m sorry about is that I got my friends involved too.

    “Sorry. “It ended up like this after I forced myself to do it.”

    “it’s okay.”

    Leo who was listening next to me suddenly said.

    “Anyway I’m the one who agreed to it and I’m the one who asked to do it together.”

    In fact it might have been fortunate that he ended up with a penalty point.

    I’m thankful just for the fact that no one was hurt and everyone was fine.

    Taysy also nodded as if agreeing with those words. Iona wasn’t interested in the store in the first place because it was a penalty point.

    “Still I had bad luck. “Because I got caught by Mr. Chris Benimore.”

    “that’s right.”

    Since Teacher Chris favored noble students he naturally did not like the idea of ​​commoners doing something like this.

    Aidan said throwing his head back.

    “I see. “If it were Mr. Ludger I would have just given it a warning.”

    “Well that’s fine. Instead I would have heard a lot of verbal abuse.”

    “Isn’t it better than penalty points?”

    “Don’t you think that way when you hear that teacher’s verbal abuse?”

    “I’m okay?”

    “…You know Aidan. “Sometimes I envy your skin-thick innocence.”

    “thank you!”

    “Isn’t that a compliment?”

    While Leo was grumbling someone approached the two.

    Leo looked at the person approaching and slightly widened his eyes as if he was surprised.

    “you….”

    “hi?”

    White hair shining dazzlingly in the morning sunlight.

    What caught my eye more than the beautiful color was her beauty.

    Is this what it feels like to see pure white ice on a mountain that has never melted?

    If it were an ordinary boy I would have been tempted by his looks and immediately turned him on.

    Leo called the name with great caution.

    “Julia Plumheart.”

    “You know me?”

    “No problem. “I’m the top student in admissions so don’t you know that?”

    A new student who entered Seorn at the top of his class and a rookie who is expected to be a promising player at M Tower.

    It was one of the targets that the liberation army was instructed to pay special attention to.

    Of course I had no intention of listening to such an order.

    ‘What’s happening to this guy who usually moves alone without talking to anyone?’

    At the beginning of the semester several students approached me in an attempt to build friendships.

    Among them of course were students from noble families.

    But Julia rejected all their offers.

    Everything is treated equally as if it doesn’t matter whether the other person is a commoner or a noble.

    Some people were internally dissatisfied with that but even if Julia stared at her for just a few seconds they immediately averted their eyes and lowered their tails.

    Perhaps because of that no one approached Julia after that.

    As I sat alone in the class at the back of the classroom without a partner and just listened I naturally forgot about her.

    To be precise it should be said that it has become an inviolable area.

    A pure white glass lily blooming alone at the edge of a cliff.

    That was exactly the situation that suited Julia.

    It’s quite surprising that she spoke to us first.

    Even the students inside the classroom are looking at this in amazement.

    Plus looking at that gaze it seems like he’s interested in Aidan.

    ‘No matter how you look at it it’s suspicious.’

    As someone who collects and analyzes information it is essential to have an eye for people.

    Even though he was such a Leo he had no idea what kind of person Julia Plumheart was.

    It’s hard to know what’s inside and they’re good at hiding their feelings.

    The only known information is that he is a promising player at the Magic Tower and is very good at studying to the point where he was admitted as the top student.

    But that can’t be everything.

    “So what business do you have for us?”

    Leo asked first because it would be mentally exhausting to just stand still.

    Julia said with a smile whose true intentions were unknown.

    “you guys? no. “I’m only interested in that kid.”

    Of course it was Aidan who said that and pointed.

    “Huh me?”

    Aidan reacted naturally as if he didn’t really think anything of it.

    “huh. yes you “You said Aidan right?”

    “that’s right. That one… um.”

    “You don’t know me?”

    As Aidan trailed off Julia opened her eyes in surprise.

    I don’t mean to brag but I thought there would be at least no one among the freshmen who didn’t know me.

    He said as if he remembered Aidan belatedly.

    “Oh right. I remembered! Did you say Julia? “I looked somewhere and saw that it was the name that always ranked first in test scores!”

    “…You’re such an interesting kid aren’t you?”

    Aidan’s actions were not an act to attract attention.

    A reaction full of 100% purity.

    Julia thought it was funny even though it hurt her pride a little.

    No problem.

    ‘He’s a kid with interesting dreams so this is only natural.’

    Dream magic that only a select few can use.

    Julia a newcomer to the <Dream School> where dream wizards exist and the most talented can see other people’s dreams.

    Dreams are a person’s unconscious and the embodiment of desires.

    If you want to know a person’s inner self nothing is more effective than seeing their dreams.

    That’s why Julia Plumheart.

    People were seen as dreams and evaluated based on dreams.

    Worth it too.

    Fun too.

    Interesting too.

    It all boils down to a dream.

    ‘All the other guys are boring but this kid is different.’

    What exists in Aidan’s head.

    And the dreams he is having are all related to ‘magic’.

    How can this belief be so firm and upright?

    Normally dreams would be vague and comprehensive like clouds or fog.

    Aidan’s dream feels like seeing a straight stick.

    However like himself he even used a [unusual] type of magic that others did not use.

    At this rate I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get to know each other.

    “Anyway I’m interested in you.”

    “wait for a sec.”

    The person who stepped forward at that time was Taycee Friard with her red hair tied into two pigtails.

    “What are you? “He barges in out of nowhere and says whatever he wants.”

    Her eyes towards Julia were full of wariness and hostility.

    “hmm. “Who were you?”

    “It’s Tacie. Tacie Freeard. I don’t know?”

    “Tacy? Oh I did. “The seat below me.”

    Quick!

    It was a remark that struck a chord with Teishi who had a second-best entrance exam score.

    That’s what I heard from the first place person I wanted to surpass the most.

    Julia stared at Teishi with a smiling face.

    ‘Hmm. ‘This child’s dreams are not good.’

    Teyce’s dreams were very passionate in keeping with her personality.

    It burned bright red like a hot flame but what it contained was a weakness that could easily be extinguished at any time.

    There is definitely a high concentration of purity and passion but that is all.

    Just being slightly better than others was not enough to attract Julia’s interest.

    ‘I highly value the tenacity to catch up with others through desperate efforts but that’s not really my taste.’

    At least it was much better than the guys who came wearing masks and with a black lump in their hearts.

    It’s just not my taste.

    But there was something fundamentally different about Taysy’s wariness of Julia.

    “Anyway I don’t know what you’re thinking about approaching Aidan but I want you to know that it’s a little inconvenient.”

    “Oh I don’t think so. “Wouldn’t it be nice to have more friends?”

    “You be quiet!”

    aha.

    Julia noticed right away.

    I got the feeling from the way Tayce glanced at Aidan as she spoke.

    “We are busy right now because we have something to talk about. So will you please leave now?”

    “Hmm. “Am I not allowed to hear that?”

    “okay. “It’s ‘our’ job.”

    Teishi draws a line here by deliberately emphasizing us.

    Of course Julia just found the provocation cute.

    “Hmm. Well I was just planning to reveal my face today anyway so I’ll just end it here. Besides it’s almost time for class to start.”

    “If you know go away! Hiss! Hiss!”

    Julia responded with a smile to the sight of Tayce shaking her hands and making sounds with her mouth.

    Adult response.

    Tacie felt somewhat defeated.

    “Then see you later.”

    Julia returned to her seat waving to Aidan.

    Aidan looked at her and smiled innocently.

    “She’s a very pretty girl. right?”

    “….”

    “evil! for a moment! Tacie! “Why are you hitting me?”

    “I don’t know!”

    It may have been a pure compliment without any selfishness but that made it even worse.

    Tacie pounded Aidan’s shoulder with her fist.

    Iona was watching the scene with an expressionless face and Leo sighed thinking that something troublesome would happen again.

    Julia returned to her seat and her eyes lit up as she saw Aidan and his group talking.

    ‘That’s interesting.’

    The dreams of Aidan and his friends were also quite unique compared to those of other students.

    ‘That short boy is hiding something and that beastman girl over there seems to have some kind of purpose.’

    It certainly wasn’t like that at the beginning of the semester but that changed at some point.

    These were all changes that occurred after being with Aidan.

    That was why I was curious about Aidan.

    It’s not a rational liking.

    Rather it was closer to the passion for exploration as a wizard.

    They say he uses unusual magic and has a unique personality that is different from others.

    Julia Plumheart is also a wizard.

    Of course as a wizard if something related to your field happens you are bound to become interested.

    ‘If it’s any other interesting dream then of course.’

    There will be Rine sitting with the 3rd princess and having a long conversation.

    Everyone dreams of ideals but this is a child who dreams of reality.

    Even some of the memories were sealed so it was quite an interesting topic.

    Step by step. Step by step.

    At that moment there was silence in the classroom.

    Everyone heard the sound of footsteps slowly echoing from the entrance of the classroom.

    Grumble—!

    The closed door opened and the owner of the classroom appeared.

    Ludger Chelsea.

    He was wearing a frock coat that still looked hot even though it was now summer.

    Of course the coat will be magically treated to keep you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

    Even taking that into account it wouldn’t be that way from the viewer’s perspective.

    In a way he was a very consistent person.

    Even though it has been a while since I came here I have never been treated warmly by students.

    There is no way to unravel yourself.

    However Julia’s attention was focused on the person who followed Ludger like a chick.

    ‘Sedina.’

    Sedina Rochen.

    The first assistant professor selected by Professor Ludger Celisi.

    And the wizard named Julia Plumheart…

    ‘Childhood friend.’

    Julia felt uncomfortable every time she saw Sedina.

    To be honest it would be correct to say that I was angry.

    ‘Liar Sedina.’

    When Sedina was young she met Julia.

    And that’s when the two became friends.

    Because it was that day when Julia first opened her heart to others.

    However Sedina later rejected her offer to be together and even broke her promise.

    And what was it like when you came to Seorn and met each other?

    Sedina’s dream was pitch black as if it was filled with darkness.

    The bright image and dreams of the innocent childhood friend she once knew were no longer there.

    How dare you throw away that beauty.

    Julia couldn’t stand it.

    Nevertheless the sight of Sedina lowering her head as if frightened without even pretending to know him gave me not only disappointment but even contempt.

    ‘It was definitely like that.’

    Something is different today.

    His steps were light and he seemed strangely lively unlike his usual lack of self-esteem.

    The biggest change is that dreams are the standard by which she judges people.

    At the beginning of the semester Sedina’s dreams were clearly of such low quality that they received the worst evaluation from Julia’s point of view.

    Dark and dirty.

    Just looking at it made me feel bad to the point where my condition for the day was in jeopardy.

    Even though it has gradually improved recently its essence has not changed.

    Today was completely different again.

    ‘I can’t believe the color of my dreams changes in just a few days.’

    It feels like the contaminated water that cannot be purified is at least level 2.

    This change was something that even Julia had never imagined.

    ‘What on earth happened?’

    The change in the dream means that something inside Sedina has changed.

    Something very fundamental.

    And when it comes to influence there was only one person who immediately came to mind.

    Naturally Sedina’s gaze shifted to the person she was staring at.

    ‘Mr Ludger Chelisi.’

    Seorn’s new teacher and much more capable than the other teachers.

    The [source code] magic he showed was beyond interest and even Julia who had no interest in anything other than dreams was mesmerized even if only for a moment.

    ‘I thought that special ability and having a positive influence on others were completely different areas.’

    Was it not necessarily just that?

    However Julia found it difficult to believe that Ludger had influenced Sedina.

    That’s right that’s Ludger.

    ‘The only people who can influence dreams are those who have other dreams.’

    A representative example is Aidan whom I have been eyeing for a while.

    The uprightness and goodness of his heart could be seen through his dreams and Aidan’s friends who were influenced by it also experienced changes.

    A beautiful virtuous cycle.

    What was needed for that was a dream that was more upright and clear than anyone else’s.

    ‘That’s why Mr. Ludger is a person who can never influence others.’

    The reason is simple.

    Because to him

    Because for Ludger Chelisi there was no such thing as a dream.

    The man named Ludger Chelisi had absolutely nothing like the hopes that others hoped for.

    There was no such thing as a vague desire.

    ‘Come to think of it I’ve heard something like that before.’

    Although it is a very small number of examples it is said that such people existed in the past.

    And the wizards of <Dream School> call such people this.

    A person who does not dream.
