Chapter 1006 – #242_Magical College Tycoon

One.
I prepared to go out from the early morning when the diligent birds were chirping.
After lightly taking a shower, he put on a white shirt and trimmed the sleeves with obsidian cuffs.
“Ugh… Siwoo… Are you leaving already?”
When I put on the blindfold and came out of the dressing room, I heard a mumbling voice from under the blanket.
This is Sharon, who enjoyed the joy of rising in social status with Siwoo yesterday.
Through the thin blanket, I could see a glimpse of her immaculate naked body, not wearing a single thread.
“Huh. Sleep some more.”
“Uuuuu, if you aren’t there when I wake up… Lonely…”
Whether it was because of a hangover or because of the intense back workout last night, Sharon whimpered in a drowsy voice.
She brushes her tousled hair and smiles as she lightly kisses her on the forehead.
“I will be back.”
“Uh, have a good trip. I’ll sleep a little longer…”
Sharon fell asleep again with the short sound of her tongue.
She covered the blanket again and moved toward the portal inside the mansion.
Then, at this point, I should explain the Emerald Tablet once again.
The Emerald Tablet is a large school of alchemy witches in Gehenna.
Although the level of individual members of the Society is evaluated as slightly inferior to the Academy of Truth and Truth, the number is 1 times more, and the long history has been with the birth of Gehenna.
Since it is a society with such a long tradition, the position of the first and current dean is count.
Her hierarchy is the 23rd, and her nickname as a witch is ‘Witch of the Wise’, and her real name is Tia Cagliostro.
In fact, I don’t even know Siu well other than her name.
Let alone her personal acquaintance, she has never seen her face in person.
“Come to think of it… I’ve already met most of them.”
Seven Counts said that depending on the witch, it is difficult to even see the face of one of them.
Siu met all of Jemenai, Yesod, Adonai, Kohab, and Count Gremory.
By this time she has met Cagliostro, she has met six of the seven counts.
I’m looking forward to what kind of person it will be, but at the same time I’m a little worried.
The first worry is that there are too many unique types of witches.
Originally, personality is a way to be cut down by the wind and waves of the world without paying attention, but a high-ranking witch is a being located in a position where personality is cut down rather than a position to be cut by the wind and waves.
That’s probably why shocking figures like Count Adonai are born.
He is the dean of a rather large academic society, but is he that eccentric? Even if I wanted to, Count Adonai was also the owner of a large merchant…
Anyway, I’d say it’s a bit unpredictable.
The second concern is the intent of the invitation.
I expected an invitation or a personal meeting someday, but much sooner than expected.
I thought I would be contacted when the society was much more stable than now.
While I was thinking about this and that, I crossed the portal.
The Emerald Tablet’s academic building, also called the Alchemist Castle, or ‘Castle’ for short, was located northeast of Arsmagna Town.
The reason why it got the name ‘Castle’ is because it literally surrounds the academic building with tall walls.
Count Cagliostro’s mansion was built in the center of the castle, and several academic buildings were built around it. Since there was no other portal inside the large academic grounds, Siu had to walk for a long time past the arched bronze door.
What is the overall atmosphere like?
I was honestly surprised.
Unlike Jinrijinmyeong Academic Center, which reminded us of an old monastery compared to its reputation, Castle feels like a prestigious British university.
An antique building built with curbs and red bricks.
Renaissance-style spires that rise to the sky everywhere.
A cobblestone road that intersects and connects narrow alleys, plazas and parks with green lawns.
There were academies and academic buildings, but there were also dormitories, witches’ workshops, and small magic shops.
Is it a small city within a city?
In particular, because of the atmosphere, I even felt the illusion that I forgot my cane and bowler hat.
Maybe because it was early, I didn’t see many witches, but it’s a place where you can feel the excitement of learning in the afternoon.
The witch opened the window rubbing her sleepy eyes as she walked along the road where the morning dew hadn’t dried, the witch walking with books so full that she couldn’t see properly, sitting on the fountain and stroking her hand… Perhaps an apprentice witch is seen.
Siwoo, who suddenly became a celebrity, attracted a lot of attention.
As if there was a commotion, the curtains were drawn one by one and the gaze was drawn.
“Hey, have fun.”
“Be careful with your words. You’re a baron now.”
“The Hesed Society? Magic college? I think I heard something like that.”
“Come here baby. Let’s go home quickly!”
Luckily, during her misfortune, there was no witch who spoke to her directly, so she kept her solemn gait as much as possible and finally arrived at her mansion as the castle’s main cagliostro.
“This is Shin Siwoo. I came after being invited.”
She met her, and she was guided by the maid who had come out and went straight to her office.
The atmosphere inside is old-fashioned and splendid.
“Cagliostro. Baron Shin Si-woo has visited.”
“Please let me in.”
The maid, who announced her visit and opened the door for her, glanced at Siu’s face and returned to her duties.
Now, how great of a shock will this count be?
I opened the door with half expectation and half worry.
A blonde beauty was sitting at a table in the office facing the door.
It was a bit embarrassing.
Witches do not age, so even if there is no difference in her appearance, her unique mature atmosphere and dignity come out.
Therefore, it is possible to guess how old she is as a witch, but the woman in front of her is full of childishness no matter how you look at it.
As for other characteristics, a blonde hair bun with large curls, a sapphire-blue wall, and a modest dress that made it look hot.
She must have the appearance that her spinal cord reflex would jump out when she was told that she was an aristocratic antelope.
The time when I thought that this witch was the dean of the Emerald Tablet, ‘You really have extraordinary charisma’.
“Oh my God!”
She got up from her seat and greeted her with a bright smile.
“Welcome, welcome. I was staring at it because it was so tall. Sorry. There were only rumors about her, but I didn’t expect her to be this handsome. What is it? Oh ho ho ho!”
“… Ah yes. Thank you.”
It hooks up a lot.
The voice itself is very loud, the tone is very high, there are a lot of nasal sounds, and the tension is no joke.
It was the first time in my life that I had seen someone with a higher level of tension than Leruhe.
Although Count Adonai was eccentric, his unique dignity stood out, and this is the exact opposite of his image.
She was expecting a scholarly impression, but it felt like a lady pretending to be friendly in a sauna.
“Here, sit here. What do you like to drink? There’s tea, coffee, and brandy. Oh my gosh, is brandy too special in the morning? How long has it been since this happened?”
“Brandy is fine too. As a guest, she can’t choose what to drink.”
“Oh-ho-ho! Look at your eloquence!”
Count Cagliostro busily brings out brandy as he sits on the sofa.
“Look at my mind. Here’s my business card. I’m Tia Callliostro, the head of the Emerald Tablet. Ho-ho-ho!”
She held out her business card engraved with gold leaf on white paper.
She suspected that she might be an agent in the count’s studio, but it doesn’t seem like that.
“I don’t have a business card to give you yet.”
“Don’t talk like that. You are busy preparing for the conference. Anyway! I’m fine I’m fine I really wanted to meet you. In fact, I heard from Miss Moiety an anecdote from yesterday’s ball. You dance so well.”
“It’s just a level where I’m not ashamed to see others.”
“Is that all? Even when I visited her home, I praised her so that her mouth wouldn’t dry out, so I imagined that this would be the officiating ceremony. What is it? Ho-ho-ho!”
Haha.”
I’ll get it right away
Even though Siwoo, who never thought of himself as an introvert, is very quick-tempered.
The mask of Baron Shin Si-woo, whom I thought was perfect, seems to keep getting cracked.
After that, it was a feast of small talk.
“If I had enough time, I would like to take a tour of our society, but it’s a pity. Would you mind attaching Baron Moiety as a guide?”
“Ah, scandal! That’s right. Did something like that happen? Oh ho ho!”
“You can’t do anything big if you care about those things. I know it when I meet you in person. If I were a little younger, I think I would have fallen in love. Like! Like! Like!”
In fact, rather than chatting, it was more of a one-way communication in which if the count said a hundred words, Siwoo would reply.
I’ve been doing this for over 30 minutes considering I said I was busy.
If there is anything fortunate, it must be that in a series of conversations, goodwill toward Siwoo was abundantly evident.
He doesn’t seem to be a picky person, and he couldn’t find the witch’s arrogance.
“To think of a promising talent like the Baron appearing in our Gehenna. It’s a blessing that won’t come again in a hundred years. It is a higher education institution borrowed from the university system. Although it is easy to come up with an idea, it is not easy to put it into practice. Baron Siu.”
“The help of the people around me was greater than my ability. So that’s the point. May I ask why you invited me?”
I tightened up the tension to loosen up in the high-tension conversation that was pouring like a machine gunner.
From here, I felt that this was the main point.
Count Cagliostro, who had been talking nonstop for five seconds, fell silent.
A roaring laugh.
“Good ideas require good investments. It is true that the Chesed Society has laid a rough foundation, but isn’t the number of people prepared so far not enough?”
“Yes, but we plan to gradually prepare for the rest of the period.”
“That’s why our Emerald Tablet is trying to support the Chesed Society. Isn’t it for our community of Gehenna witches and no one else? I can’t get away with this.”
Unexpected good fortune.
It takes something to swallow.
“Thank you very much for your words, but it seems like a decision can only be made by hearing what support means.”
“I will send ten archwitch to the professorship. Of course, the Moiety Baron will also be included. By promising to rent expensive laboratory equipment, supply alchemy materials, and hold periodic academic exchanges with the Emerald Tablet. How about this?”
This is a much-needed support at this point.
If the words were followed, at least there would be no barriers to the establishment of the Faculty of Alchemy.
Isn’t that the support of none other than the emerald tablet?
However.
It is true that she seems to be her good friend, but is she really capable of being a supporter without any greed?
“What is the price for that?”
The Count’s tongue licked his lips thinly.
“There is nothing grandiose. Just to the extent of going through discussions together on the operating policy going forward? And it’s to the point of allowing us to assign personnel from the Emerald Tablet to some of the odd positions in the society. Ho-ho-ho!”
Then it is.
My head gets cold.
No matter how flimsy it may seem, a witch is a witch.
She is not just a witch, but the head of a giant society.
Shouldn’t you say something like ‘I want to eat the society you worked hard on raw too’ with a smile on your face?
Haha.”
Seeing the count burst into a hearty laugh, Siwoo smiled as well.
