Jacob stammered. “N-No! Hanelope and I ….” “Exactly. We had a little fight amongst ourselves. It was getting on my nerves.” Kathrine quickly interrupted Jacob, who was about to drag me in. Ultimately, he was left with no other choice. Professor Munich glanced at me and Brantley, then shifted his gaze back to Jacob and…
“Aren’t you going to take it?” “W-Will, I will take it.” Why is this kid so scary? I quickly took the flowers and felt a strange sense of déjà vu. ‘I think there was a time when I’ve been scared by a kid like this before…’ “You don’t like flowers?” The boy asked, looking disgruntled….
Bang! And then, I firmly locked the box and even cast the sealing magic I learned from Professor Richter. Only then did the semi-transparent window that had been floating in the air disappear, and the room finally quieted down. “Phew. I thought I was going to die trying to stall time.” Did he really think…
“What the hell is this?!” I was horrified. The pendant was definitely something evil. ‘This must be something sinister, with a distorted personality! No wonder it was sealed! Though it said ‘G□d’, surely it must be an evil deity!’ I have to get rid of the pendant! To seal this, I needed Professor Richter’s help……
“Are you making fun of me?” “Of course not, How could I? To laugh at the Emperor would mean the end of three generations.” “You do remember Hanelope and I are included in your generations?” “Oh, is that so?” “I don’t favour the idea of penalizing for association. So you’re the only one who will…
Professor Munich felt guilty. ‘Above all, if His Highness Prince Hart finds out, I’ll be finished. A life once nearly lost, for him, I would gladly give it up.’ Professor Munich smiled bitterly and opened the door to the Chancellor’s office. “Oh! Hanelope, you’re here!” As soon as Hanelope entered, the Emperor welcomed her with…
“Whoa!” The model horse moved as smoothly as if it were running on glass. It rolled down the hallway without stopping, dodging obstacles on its own. “Dad, it moves on its own!” “The wheels are enchanted with magic.” “Wow, it’s amazing! Faster! Faster!” I jumped up and down with excitement, then suddenly felt embarrassed. ‘I’m…
“Yo-Your Majesty!” Richter’s face lit up. “Does His Majesty wish to appoint me as a Professor?” The wide eyes and opened mouth showed how surprised she was. The Emperor erased the playfulness he showed when talking to Hanelope, and said stoically, “Didn’t you hear? From now on, you are a Professor at the Academy. Stop…
I rested my hands on the table, and cupped my chubby cheeks, gazing up at Miss Richter. Richter smiled at the curious glint in my eyes. “Yes. I like him as much as I adore the Lady. Just like you, he was also very skilled in magic from the beginning. He wants to become a…
“Quickly, kneel and apologize to His Majesty! If you had acted with the same seriousness as you do now in your usual behavior, His Majesty would not have asked you this.” Ulrich was too enthusiastic about scolding me. “Though she is originally mischievous in nature…” It was an attempt to redeem himself for his earlier misconduct…
‘Stop!’ I struggled to stop the mana from leaking out of my heart. My forehead was sweating with concentration. ‘I could barely control it….. I think I should stop practising magic…..’ “Wow, that was incredibly fast!” “I think she did it faster than Ulrich.” I snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of their…
Clenching my fists I cheered her on. “One day, Miss Richter will be a great professor” Miss Richter paused and smiled sweetly. “Do you really think so?” “Yes, I would love to learn from someone like you” “I wish I could be a professor too and teach a cute student like you.” A blush spread…
“Hanelope!” As soon as I stepped out of the library, a familiar voice called to me. It was Dad. He walked up to me with his unusual, urgent pace and scooped me into his arms. ‘Why is Dad here?’ Surely Professor Munich would have informed our servants? But I was too panicked to ask. Dad…
“Ouch!” Plop! My body hit the cold floor. I quickly turned around, but the bookshelf had already closed. No matter how hard I pushed, the bookshelf wouldn’t budge. “Am I trapped here?” I cowered in the darkness. Suddenly, the surroundings brightened. The mana stone lanterns on the wall had automatically switched on. “What the hell!”…
“His Majesty’s visit, you say…?” Professor Frank asked, looking dazed. “While I have always reported to Your Majesty, it’s not enough. He has always expressed a desire to observe as well. But I had reservations about the students’ level being inadequate.” “What do you mean, not good enough… Ulrich has always been good.” “He’s the…
“There is a Chatty tree in this pot. It’s a favourite tree of His Majesty’s, but as you can see, it’s withered”, Professor Frank said. The children’s jaws dropped at the mention of the Emperor’s favourite tree. They realized that if they could bring the Chatty Tree back to life, they could catch the Emperor’s…
