    Episode 431

    Simon put down the warm milk in his cup and opened one of the letters piled on his desk.

    -Let’s play.

    Insincere content crooked bad writing. Of course it was D i c k’s letter.

    Simon put the letter down and opened the following letters one after another.

    -Can I go over to your house?

    -Let’s play.

    -Let’s play.

    -If there is no answer I will shut up and attack!

    -Let’s play!

    It seems he was quite bored.

    Simon immediately picked up his quill and wrote a reply.

    We decided to spend the New Year with our families and later we coordinated our schedules with Meilin and Camivarez so that we could all go out and have fun together before entering school.

    ‘It would be nice to meet once before school starts.’

    Starting from the second year it is a major system.

    Simon is planning to enter the Summoning Department. Meirin is in the Department of Jet Black Mechanics and Kamivarez is in the Department of Hematology. In D i c k’s case it wasn’t 100% but he seemed to be thinking about studying blind reading.

    If we become students in different departments and disperse we won’t be able to meet as often as Group 7 of Class A before. I wanted to spend a little more time together when I had time.

    ‘Then next letter.’

    Simon picked up the girlish letter envelope with a ribbon that was placed in front of him.

    Looking at the small character drawings it was clear that Camivarez had sent it.

    -Simon! I am following my father to the city of vampires ‘Tujeran’!

    Camibarez’s small and cute handwriting is visible.

    -The sunset here is really pretty. I don’t have a magic camera so I’ll draw a picture and send it to you instead.

    Sharak.

    As I turned the back page I saw a landscape painting drawn by Camivarez himself.

    Although it wasn’t drawn extremely well the highlights such as the sunset and the orange sea were clear. Camivarez’s sincerity was evident everywhere.

    Feeling somehow warm inside Simon picked up the next envelope.

    This time Meilin’s unique neat and noble handwriting is visible.

    -I lost the bet with ‘Wang Jae-su’ again. I am now at the Langerstine Grand Theatre.

    It looks like he lost his bet with Cerne in the ivory tower again.

    -Wang Jae-su’s condition is that we perform at a large theater this time too. But do you know who I saw here? Sayyur! Do you remember?

    Simon touched his chin.

    Saywir. Saywir.

    Who was it? It’s a name I’ve heard a lot before.

    -When the four of us went to the neutral zone for a ‘dispatch evaluation’! That liar who took us around pretending he was an agent!

    Ah I remembered.

    A person with fantastic abilities who only talks about it.

    -That person is now Langustine’s biggest star! Can you believe it?

    Sayyur was disciplined by the Dark Alliance and his career as a necromancer was completely over.

    However reading Meilin’s letter it seemed like she was enjoying a new heyday as a theater actress.

    Even if he didn’t have fighting skills he was definitely a person with good humor and showmanship.

    Simon put down the letter hoping that things would go well in the future.

    However in addition to the letters from the three 7 trillion won members there were several more letters left.

    ‘Who sent this?’

    “Simon!”

    I heard my mother Anna’s voice from the living room downstairs.

    “Come down to eat!”

    “Yes I’ll go now!”

    * * *

    Chop chop chop!

    Chop chop!

    When Simon came down to the living room White and Black were already eating the special meal that Anna had prepared.

    It was a special dish made with boiled chicken and it was so delicious that I let out an ‘Eong Eong~’ sound while eating it. I emptied the entire bowl in no time.

    -meow!

    -Nyan!

    The cats glared at Simon in protest.

    -Why didn’t you give me something delicious like this until now?

    -It was bad!

    The cats tapped Simon’s legs with their sharp paws. Then as if they had found a small bug in the house they got excited and went somewhere else.

    “mom.”

    Anna looked at Simon with eyes full of affection.

    “Why are you doing this son?”

    “……It’s too much for lunch.”

    A meal that can hardly be considered lunch. The table was full of food with a wisp of smoke rising from it.

    Even today the table was screaming under its weight and putting a strain on the upper legs.

    “You had a hard time in the Holy Federation right? It’s important to eat a lot and replenish your energy!”

    “Okay then I will eat well.”

    While eating Simon opened the next letter.

    It was cute pink stationery. Of course I thought it was Camivarez’s taste but it was someone else.

    – To my brother Simon.

    Just looking at the first word of the letter I still don’t know who it is.

    As Simon was about to read the next line Richard also came into the kitchen.

    His eyes naturally turned to Simon’s letter.

    “haha!”

    Then with a knowing look on his face he smiled and ruffled Simon’s hair.

    “He is also my son. I also received a letter from a girl during vacation.”

    “Ah father!”

    Simon blushed.

    “Whose letter is this? Maylin? Or camivarez?”

    “Not those two people. I’m not sure who sent it either.”

    Richard muttered and rubbed his chin seriously.

    “okay. Sometimes it gets confusing. But Simon. Even if sometimes a lady you don’t remember acts like you’re friendly and very occasionally you don’t remember the lady’s name just stay calm. As we talked naturally we learned this lady’s name and information…”

    Tung-!

    Richard stiffened as he stood. A few strands of his hair were blowing in the air and a fork was stuck on the wall behind him.

    “You’re teaching your child something really good aren’t you?”

    Anna stuck her head out from the kitchen her eyes flashing.

    “Hmm! W Honey! My skills haven’t died yet during my active duty days!”

    Richard quickly tried to cover it up with a joke.

    “It looks like you haven’t gotten rid of your New Year’s Day habit yet.”

    There was no choice against Anna.

    Today again while watching Richard run wild Simon finished reading the opened letter.

    -Simon brother. It’s Sasha! Were you surprised? I asked Kami-nee to find the address to send the letter to. I should have asked you that first when we met at Pentamonium. I forgot something!

    ‘It’s Sasha!’

    A girl rescued by Simon from the Neutral Zone and currently receiving treatment at Pentamonium.

    Admission as a special Kizen special freshman next year is confirmed.

    -I have grown a lot over the years and can now use black magic well! When I am discharged from Pentamonium next year I will be able to officially enter Keygen. Please take care of me then? Senior.

    You are a senior.

    Simon felt his heart pounding. Now the day has come when I really get to hear you call me a senior at Keygen.

    -I can’t believe that Simon and Kami will all be attending Kizen together! I’m so happy just thinking about it. Good luck next year too! happy new year!

    When I turned the last page I saw a picture of Sasha taken with a magic camera. Although he was wearing a hospital gown he grew noticeably taller and his face became much neater.

    It was heartwarming to see Sasha overcome the pain and trauma of the past and live proudly.

    ‘Okay then.’

    Simon lifted the next envelope.

    ‘Who will the last letter be from?’

    I opened the envelope with a rustling sound and there was another envelope inside. When I opened the envelope there was another envelope.

    ‘What kind of joke is this… huh?’

    Simon’s eyes widened rapidly.

    The royal emblem!

    The last envelope had the Dresden royal family’s coat of arms drawn on it.

    ‘Who is it?’

    Suddenly a sense of tension surged through me. Simon opened the letter with trembling hands.

    -To my respected senior Simon.

    You’re a senior again.

    It was a magic word that made people’s hearts pound from the beginning.

    -Are you strong? My name is Princess Molly of the Kingdom of Dresden. Do you remember? I’m sorry for bothering you with the envelope. My senior’s territory is part of the Baldwin Kingdom so I was a little careful.

    After all it was this person. The youngest princess of the Kingdom of Dresden.

    Because there was only one princess on the continent that Simon knew.

    “Oh Simon.”

    Richard laughed as if it was a good thing.

    “Did this father possess the princess of a country without his knowledge? It turned out to be more than me…”

    “Richard?”

    Richard immediately silenced Anna’s fierce gaze.

    Simon looked at the letter again.

    -It’s embarrassing but I’m contacting you like this because Abamama gave me permission to enter Keygen! The first person that came to mind the moment permission was given was senior Simon!

    Reading the letter it seemed that Princess Molly was also quite talented as a necromancer.

    Simon read through the letter and reached the last part.

    -If you are also leaving from Langerstine to Keygen could you help me buy some textbooks? Because I don’t know anything. Oh I’m really sorry if this was an unreasonable request!

    Simon laughed bitterly.

    How could one use common sense to refuse a princess’s request?

    However I heard that the entrance dates for second and first year students are different. Simon mentioned that and decided to reply that he would be happy to help once the schedule was clear.

    “As expected the Kingdom of Dresden is smart.”

    Richard said after scanning Simon’s letter.

    “Recognize future powerful people and act quickly. When will our Baldwin Kingdom move?”

    Anna who was sitting at the table looked at Richard and asked.

    “Did you also have patriotism for the kingdom?”

    “There is nothing other than hometown.”

    Simon scratched his head with an embarrassed face.

    “I’m just asking you to look at the textbook together. Aren’t you both interpreting things too broadly?”

    At those words Richard burst out laughing.

    Anna lightly patted her son’s forearm as if he thought it was cute.

    * * *

    happy new year.

    Simon spent the New Year alone with his family in his hometown Les Hill.

    In the middle Hersheba’s ability was used to bring in peers to discuss the progress and it was said to be a smooth finishing process. I decided to hear the report on the results at Peer’s ruins after school started.

    Simon focused on improving his condition by resting his overworked body and core at Les Hill where the water was clear and the air was good. For a few days I did nothing and just slept all day.

    Once my condition got back on track I started training in ‘Chaos’ again.

    Chaos is a Simon original in the true sense that can be created by combining the Cloud of the Jet Black World and the Holy Blood of the Holy World.

    But there is still a long way to go.

    It is effective in creating variables against strong enemies but has the disadvantage of being very less stable.

    In particular the summoned beast ‘Chaos Reaper’ betrays the magician when the amount of chaos in the magic circle runs out. It tries to cut down both enemies and allies.

    “It is very important to be ‘calculated’ in battle. Simon.”

    Richard said.

    “Let’s say the current power of your ‘Chaos Spear’ is from 0 to 1000. It’s good to have a high maximum but if ‘0’ appears during battle the risk you take is too high. Maybe the price for drawing a slam could be your life.”

    Simon nodded his head in agreement.

    “So the purpose of this vacation training is to make chaos not ‘0~1000’ but ‘100~1000’. The goal is to draw without losing. Even if the maximum value is reduced it will be effective in terms of operation to have the minimum power.”

    “All right!”

    In order to establish chaos magic the help of both the pitch black and the divine was needed.

    So I received help from both Richard and Anna but their opinions were slightly different.

    “It’s best to take minimal risks and go all-in on power.”

    “no. For Simon’s safety it is important to increase stability.”

    The two people were fighting… no debating over the ratio of Cloud and Precious Blood.

    “honey. On the battlefield the best safety is to cut off the enemy’s head with one blow. The longer the fight over space the more dangerous Simon becomes.”

    “Have you forgotten how many times I saved you while you were overextending yourself? True strength is not all-or-nothing but a well-balanced power with high perfection and no flaws.”

    …Chaos is my skill.

    With the words lingering on his lips Simon just smiled and waited for the war of nerves between the two to end.

    That’s the conclusion reached.

    Chaos is not a skill that can be used too much and under normal circumstances it is wise to rely on black and white magic as usual.

    Chaos is used when you need to create variables against a strong enemy.

    Instead we decided to raise the specs significantly enough to ensure a clear win once used.

    Richard and Anna are Cloud and Blood. And it complemented the formula for chaos. Although the magic has become much heavier than when Simon first made it.

    <Chaos Spear>

    Simon was thrilled as he watched the purple spear he flew as a test crushing the trees around him.

    “I’ll take this!”

    During the vacation Simon was concentrating on training in new technology at a small villa in the mountains.

    “Simon’s guest has arrived.”

    Richard personally came to pick Simon up.

    “Suddenly a guest? Who are you?”

    “It would be better for you to go and check it yourself.”

    His expression was slightly tense.

    Simon immediately came down the mountain and ran toward home.

    But as I got closer to home something strange happened. The surrounding trees and rocks were floating in the air.

    Shootaaaaa-

    There was even a strange fish swimming in the air. Like swimming in the sea.

    ‘Monster?’

    As Simon tried to wake up Richard put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head.

    “Let’s just go.”

    Soon I arrived home. When Simon quickly opened the door and came inside he saw a man as big as a giant sitting at the table from behind.

    Right! Right! The crab was eating the food Anna prepared for him as if it were hiding his eyes.

    “You’re welcome Simon.”

    Anna also looked a little surprised. Simon approached and opened his mouth.

    “I heard you were looking for me.”

    bang!

    The man put down the plate with only the bones remaining. Now I picked up the water bottle and started drinking water.

    Haha.

    He burped and patted his stomach as if he was going to survive for a while.

    Then I finally looked back.

    “It’s been a really long time! How are you?”

    Simon’s eyes widened sharply when he saw him. At the same time a bright smile appeared on his lips.

    “President of Phantasus!”

    He is none other than the student council president of Kizen and an unofficial Nephthys confidant like Kazan.

    It was Phantasus Hugh Eckel.

    Grumble!

    Phantasus stood up. I’m so tall that my head hurts! He touched the ceiling but he didn’t seem to care.

    “The chairman! Since I graduated from Kizen that title is no longer used. Now I’m just an adventurer!”

    He approached Simon with long strides. The dust from the ceiling of the house swept through his hair.

    “Simon Pollentia!”

    “Yes yes!”

    Simon tensed up and answered.

    “Without further ado I’ll get to the point!”

    What is he trying to say when he suddenly comes to me? Simon swallowed hard. There was also tension in the eyes of Richard and Anna who were watching from the side.

    Phantasus showed a deep smile and held out his hand.

    “Congratulations! From now on you will be the student council president of Keygen!!”
