Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

96 – Rejection

A magnificent mansion that seems to have brought the adjective of luxury to the world.

Despite facing the palace right in front of you, the splendor of elegance felt in the mansion does not fade. The appearance of the mansion, which was disrespectful in some ways and astonishing in some ways, seemed to symbolize the authority of the owner.

The head family of magic that is counted as the first finger in the great aristocratic family, which is called the nobility of nobles.

The mansion of the Leoris family was such a place.

A small carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Although it is small in size, it is a carriage with a splendid exterior that matches the mansion. Unless you have a lot of money, it doesn’t even seem easy to charter.

What got off the carriage was a woman with wavy hair. She lifted her wide-brimmed lady’s hat slightly, revealing her jewel-like eyes. Unlike the elegantly dressed carriage, the dress is somewhat plain.

However, despite their attire, the woman looked more valuable than the mansion or carriage. It’s because of the aura of a nobleman that she subtly exudes. She is a mysterious woman who feels like she is a great aristocrat from birth.

His long, waist-length hair was dyed a blazing red color, proving that he was a member of the Leoris family, the owners of the mansion.

The door to the mansion opened. It was an unannounced guest, but the seasoned butler of the Leoris family caught it and immediately set out to greet the guest. Jjambab, which has guarded the family gate for decades, is not going anywhere.

“Long time no see, lady. You worked hard to come.”

“After a year?”

“Time flies so fast. It already happened.”

“Don’t talk about dying in just a year or so.”

“Because when I get older, that one year becomes precious. It’s a pity that I can’t take care of you more.”

The woman called Lady moved her steps toward her mansion, her long hair fluttering lightly. Her butler smiled at her light steps, which even felt her cheerfulness. Her dignified appearance, like her heroine, was the same as it was a year ago.

“My older brother really rots my insides quite a bit. Grandpa can do it?”

“I am so comfortable that I wonder if I can do this.”

“You speak well. Is your brother inside?”

“Yes. He has been in the study since morning. He has been eating in the study for several days.”

“Older brother would have known that. Now, then, shall we go see the Red Sage?”

There weren’t many people who could call Ralph Leoris, the head of the Leoris family, so outspoken. And Ralph’s sister, Viette Leoris, was one of those few.

Ralph Leoris’ thesis review is this Sunday. With little time left, Ralph must be on a poop rope. Seeing Sara’s expression darkened, it seems that she hasn’t come up with any sharp tools yet.

“Ms. Leoris. Here, have some tea.”

“Ah, John. Thank you.”

This is our circle room.

We gathered lightly after class. As for the swordsmanship department, Arsha and Lire are not attending.

“What do you think of what I said last time?”

As I handed the tea I stole from Dragon Rare to Sarah, I asked her for an answer to the previous story. Because then she didn’t hear the answer.

“You said that Yohan-kun would introduce you to an expert knowledgeable in magic theory.”

In the original story, Ralph’s awakening is triggered by Sara’s injury. Since the story has already deviated far from the original trajectory, it is a distant situation whether Ralph will be able to gain enlightenment.

Furthermore, I don’t feel comfortable with the story progressing on the premise of Sarah’s injury. Unlike games, in this world where retry is impossible, I don’t want to use an operation that guarantees the safety of people around me. It is best to postpone until the very end.

The method I thought of was to give him the answer as a hermit. In this way, you can naturally erase the debt of the Leoris family. The reason why he doesn’t do that as John’s identity is, of course, because John is not an expert in magic.

“You may not believe it, but he is a good man.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust John. However, the thesis is such a sensitive subject, I don’t know what my dad will think.”

Sarah finishes speaking in a voice that is not confident.

Well, I can’t accept it easily if an acquaintance who knows every other bit of the thesis he has devoted his life to hastily proposes to revise it.

There may simply be a matter of pride, but the other person’s expertise will be questioned first.

Right now, even if it were only me, I would be suspicious if someone told me how to attack the legendary route. Well, that’s why I understand.

“I would appreciate it if you could at least arrange a meeting. After that, it’s Leoris-sama’s choice.”

“If it’s about meeting…. I will give it a try.”

“Oh. Then, I will talk to you about visiting Leoris Mansion this Saturday.”

“Okay. By the way, who is that acquaintance? Is he a famous wizard?”

“No. Shall we say that he is a hermit who came to know by chance? Seeing him, I realized that there are as many hidden masters as grains of sand in the world.”

“Ummm…. I don’t know if no matter how great a person you are, you can do what your father struggles with. Oh! It’s not that I doubt John.”

“hahahaha. It’s natural to be suspicious. It’s okay. He will know and prove his worth.”

“So, are you coming with John?”

“Unfortunately, I have work to do on the weekend…. Besides, there’s a story of deep magic coming and going, and my presence will only disturb you. As you know, magic is completely different from me.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Certainly, the atmosphere of the mansion right now is not the one to receive guests….”

Looking at the newspaper, it seems that Ralph has been locked out of the mansion for several days. Immediately, if he is eliminated from the thesis re-examination, he loses his full membership of the Continental Mage Tower Council. It’s because he bet Alexander Bond on cassock bread. Looking at it this way, Ralph is also very bold.

Anyway, with this feeling, it was decided to visit Leoris Mansion on Saturday. If this thing goes well, Sarah’s favorability will increase, right?

Since you recommended a great acquaintance, can’t you expect about 10?

‘I think I’m about 60 because I worked hard on snacks.’

I want to get Sarah’s [Characteristic] As soon as possible.

“No.”

From noble mtl dot com

The red-haired beauty said that as she crossed her arms. Those were the words of Viet Leoris, who had the appearance of Sara’s grown-up version.

This is the dining room of Leoris Mansion.

As an honor student, Sara, who went out of her daily routine, met Viet Leoris, who returned to her hometown after a long time. Looking at her with her mouth shut with her stubborn expression, she goes on with what she has to say.

“Aunt Viette. John is a trustworthy person.”

“Sarah. When my older brother said he was sending me to the academy, I was very discouraged. I regret not trying harder.”

Viette set her mother-of-pearl spoon on top of her bowl and looked at Sara. Sarah’s eyes, with her doll-like beauty, revealed her savagery.

Sarah Leoris.

He was the nephew who was born with a demonic talent that is said to come only once in a thousand years in the Leoris family. Her talent was beyond Ralph Leoris, and Viette saw it with her own two eyes.

In particular, unlike Ralph, who belongs to the Irregular family of Leoris, who mainly handles attribute magic, Sarah was a sacred bone of attribute magic. Unlike his older brother who foolishly fell into the byway, he had no shortage of timber to lead the heyday of the Leoris family.

Of course, this does not mean that my brother is lacking. However, Sarah is just more perfect.

That’s why Viet actively refuted her brother’s insistence that Sarah go to her academy. Academy magic classes are like a boring joke to Sarah. It was clearly a loss for her to spend three years in school with nothing to learn, even considering all the other value that could be gained from it.

In the first place, as long as she is the daughter of the Leoris family, there is no need to worry about her personal connections. Considering that one of the biggest reasons she attended the academy was her personal connections, it was right for Sarah to skip her academy and work at the Mage Tower or focus on magic research.

However, the older brother admitted Sarah to her academy. And as a result, she ended up with Sarah in a bad way. It was proof that Sarah was saying this nonsense.

“Sarah. Therefore. You mean an acquaintance of a commoner friend at the academy could fix your brother’s thesis? Do you think this makes sense?”

“Wow, I’m not sure, but I’m sure it can help. And Aunt Viet. Yohan is the head of the academy.”

“John Baker. I’ve heard of it too. The king also appeared very prominently in the newspapers, so it was impossible not to know if he did not know.”

“Right. Yohan beat me in the entrance exam and became the head of the academy! Besides, John is not a person who carelessly says the wrong thing.”

“Hmm~ You talk like you know her very well.”

Viette narrowed her eyes and spoke as if questioning.

Sara waved her hand at Viet’s appearance. In a voice brimming with bewilderment.

“Ah, I only know because I am an academy classmate!”

“Is that really all?”

“Of course!”

A strong positive is a negative. Viet wanted to ask more questions about the man named Johann, but he decided to put it off because that wasn’t the point.

“Ha ha. Sarah. We are the Leoris family. There is no other family in the kingdom or across the continent that boasts a history and tradition as long as ours.”

“I know. My dad always told me not to lose the pride of the Leoris family.”

“My older brother said the right thing for some reason. Anyway, are we getting help from a wizard we don’t even know the name of? Do you proofread your thesis? Even if you yield a hundred times and you are right, then what will happen to our family’s honor?”

“Honor…. Are you talking?”

“Yes. This is the diary of the Bond and Leoris families. It’s meaningless if we don’t find answers to their questions with our own hands. Do you know how many wizards offered to help my brother after the reexamination of his thesis was decided?”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

“There are 139 of them. All of them are wizards with 6 or more circles. There are only 15 7th circle wizards. It’s the amount of two or three conferences combined. But, why did my brother refuse the reinforcements?”

“Well….”

I thought I knew the answer to the question, but Sarah said in a hushed voice that I didn’t know.

“There is a saying in the diary of the great family that there is no great warrior. The reason my brother refused their help is because this is my brother’s duel.”

The great family’s honor comes from their actions. It is an extremely honorable act to shed one’s own blood for one’s family. On the other hand, borrowing someone else’s hand is a clear disgrace.

“I also arrived this morning and went to the study to help. I was ostentatiously rejected. Even me, a family member, is like this, will your brother accept the help of the wizard that your friend knows?”

“…I don’t think so.”

“You see what I mean?”

“Yes….”

Sarah was at a loss for words. Because Viet’s words were a perfect theory. It was a perfect logic befitting the sire of a meteor tower.

“Haa…. So, the strange man is coming this weekend? I’ll have to cut it on my line. Please don’t disturb my brother.”

“……Sorry. For doing something stupid.”

“No. I’m learning this one by one. Sarah, you are still young.”

Viette ran a warm hand through Sarah’s hair. She is a niece who has grown remarkably in the field of magic, but in this respect, she was a perfect child. The smile of her mother came to Viet’s face as she remembered her childhood when she changed her diaper.

“Whoops. Sara, shall we take a bath with Auntie today?”

“Ho, I can do it alone!”

“What? If it wasn’t for her aunt, she wouldn’t take a bath. It seems like yesterday when she used to cry and cry.”

“It was a story even before I was five years old!”

The gloomy atmosphere of the meal was brightened a little by Viet’s joke. Of course, the problem Ralph was supposed to solve was unsolved.

So, it was Saturday.
