Chapter 21 – Behind the Scenes: Trading
A few days after Seria received Edward’s thesis.
Deep in the night, the Feroz family was quiet.
Everyone is asleep, but there are two people who are still awake.
Hilbert von Ferrose, head of the Ferrose family, was looking at his papers in his office.
It was a space where nothing but his sounds would come out, but today a new sound was heard.
Knock Knock
“Come in.”
It was Seria von Ferroz who opened the door to the room and entered.
At the appearance of a person who hadn’t had a chance to come here for a while, Hilbert gave a slightly surprised expression.
“Father.”
“It’s been a long time since I heard that from you.”
It was true that their conversation stopped at some point.
Since when?
When did you enter the academy?
It wasn’t.
Hilbert von Feroz was not the kind of person who demanded fruit from a bud that had just blossomed.
When your grades drop?
Maybe it was from then
To be precise, it would be from the time I started to see her grades going downward.
“Coming here on your own will means you have something to say.”
Was it still the father?
He had a rough idea of her purpose.
But the content was something he hadn’t expected.
“I have a favor.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I need a teacher.”
“When you say teacher, do you mean that private tutor?”
“Yes.”
“There are many other teachers, but why is it him?
Even if he told me to be the administrator of the strategic point, he would do it if he didn’t do it himself.
Hilbert’s words were extremely correct.
“That’s right. That’s why we have to hold on to it so that it doesn’t leave.”
“Apart from helping or not, what would you say if I asked why?”
“You saw how he raised my grades.”
“Isn’t that what he can do besides him?”
“No. Only he can.”
In fact, it would have taken me two nights to fully explain the process.
Knowing that she wouldn’t understand if I told her anyway, she just gave up on her explanation and decided to be silent.
He had doubts about his daughter’s words, which he did not understand, but he was able to get a rough idea of the point.
“Do you love that person?”
When she saw a smile on her daughter’s face that she hadn’t seen in years.
He was even more certain that what he thought was not wrong.
“That’s right.”
“Since when?”
“The first day I saw you, the first place I saw you, the first time I saw you listening to my story.”
To be precise, I realized it the moment I saw the confession in the park, but the source must have been that day.
Hilbert was afraid of his daughter for a moment.
A few years ago, I knew that the words had disappeared and the atmosphere had started to darken, but
I thought it would be the words of a half-poon who couldn’t handle the name of Fellowes.
Then the darkness penetrated the bottom of the heart and became an abyss.
I don’t know how deep the abyss is, but what’s inside is something ordinary people can’t handle.
“Like a twisted bitch, love is also twisted.”
Was it to swear to forget the momentary fear?
Or was it an expression of contempt in the face of ugly feelings?
Expressions of contempt that a father should not utter came from his mouth.
However, Seria accepted her own feelings as if she didn’t really care about that.
“That’s right. But why do you pretend I wasn’t when I contributed so much to the Distorted?”
“Always say to be like your older sister. You didn’t even pay attention when your grades dropped, so why did you come now?
Are you trying to be a father? Always sister, sister, sister. Do you have a daughter?”
She was the one who at one point stopped saying that she was the father.
It wasn’t that loud, but the density was really thick.
To the extent that I wonder if I am talking about this situation if I am suffocated by the atmosphere.
He had served in the war when he was young, but he was nervous in a different way than back then.
Still, as if he hadn’t become a householder for nothing, he began to shake his head.
He decided to listen first.
“How much he loves him.”
“I want to have you by my side for the rest of my life.”
There was also a glimpse of madness in her expression, but Hilbert decided to ignore it.
“Let your feelings be like that.”
“By the way, where is his family name?”
“The last name is vise.”
Vaisra, I had never heard of it.
Hilbert thought that perhaps additional investigation was needed, but first he told his daughter right in front of his eyes.
Decided to ask
“I’ve never heard of it, but it shouldn’t be like this.”
It was a bonus that he said that it was good for political opponents to bite.
Marrying an unknown man to his second daughter?
It was enough to cause gossip.
Of course, she looked as if she had been waiting for the words to come out.
“This must be my father.”
After saying that, she handed him the pile of papers she had brought earlier.
“What is this?”
The identity of the document was a copy of his thesis given to him by Weiss a few days ago.
“If I announce this, I don’t think the class will fit.”
It was an untitled paper, but the contents were innovative even in Hilbert’s eyes.
Adjusting the output of magic by adding or modifying the structural formula, or converting it into a similar type of magic.
It was the first time in his life that he presented such a point of view.
In the case written, it is written about increasing the results of general fire magic.
‘Ignis’
It was a simple fire-type magic that created a fire the size of a normal torch.
‘Magnus ignis’
Only one word was added in front, but the intensity of the fire was completely different.
There was evidence that it was recorded with record magic, but it looked very old.
It seems that the proof is over, so why was it not accepted?
Why did this thesis not pass?
It was Hilbert who had such doubts.
Clearly passing would have been enough to gain fame.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to pass it with the power of our family?”
“In terms of content, I don’t quite understand it yet, but I’m asking a third party for verification.”
If it’s the name of our family, you won’t be able to ignore it.
Hilbert seemed to know the reason why this thesis did not pass.
It was the opposite of the current point of view, and it was normal for conservative university professors not to accept it.
He had some sympathy for the private tutor just a moment ago, but
It’s been a long time since I forgot about that.
Can you put him under the influence of the Feroz family to this extent?
Rather, he was a cheap trader if he could give and bring his second daughter.
His second daughter, already distorted.
It would be better to listen and bring them to our side than to let them get out of control.
And the means of control was the young college student.
Wouldn’t it be a bad condition to be the son-in-law of the Feroz family?
If only I could take the jewels put out on the roadside like this without any cost.
His daughter was all he could afford.
He was the one who wanted to applaud his daughter’s unexpected initiative.
However, I suddenly felt like I was driving an ignorant young man to death, but I decided to ignore it.
Ignoring uncomfortable truths and seeing comfortable lies.
There was a scene of a closed room compromise that did not consider the position of the parties.
###
“I don’t know, but you seem to like it.”
It was he who returned to reality at the words of his daughter.
“What do you want?”
Still reluctant, somewhere in her heart, was determined to make her investment in her anyway.
“I need someone.”
“What kind of person are you talking about?”
“Someone who can follow you without getting caught.”
“Please attach that person from the day the tutoring ends.”
What the hell do people need to do?
“Something big is coming soon.”
“When the time comes, please do whatever support you can at my house.”
Finding and supporting such a person was not a big problem, but
The question raised by ambiguous information was still a problem.
However, she is also the one who bears the name of Fellowes.
“I’ll do anything you ask, so don’t fail.”
She was promised unlimited support.
Now it was their turn to pay for their support.
“Since I have been promised, I must also make an appointment.”
“Academy chief, I’ll do it for now.”
And she added the word, and she continued.
“I’ll follow the same path as her sister took.”
“My father would be satisfied if there were not one but two such elites in the Ferroz family.”
“I get it.”
It was the scene of a very ugly transaction where the party was not present.
###
After her conversation, Seria returned to her own room.
Did Edward Weiss know that she was such a person?
Even if she didn’t know, she wouldn’t fault him.
As such, she laid the plate meticulously and thoroughly.
‘It would have been nice if he said to continue.’
First of all, he had to keep this plan undetected.
At that time, I would have to use a coercive method.
If we can lead to each other with good feelings, wouldn’t that be a better plan?
Her grades were not a problem with him either.
Is that why he studies harder or does he teach well?
She was in a good mood because both were true.
‘Soon…’
She was in a good mood for what was to come soon.
She can’t see the future, and she says how can she know what’s going to happen sooner or later.
She was sure
The person next to Edward now is essentially his own kind.
If he were in her situation, he would act immediately.
‘I’ll save you soon.’
Who are you saving from whom?
It was full of thoughts that a normal person could not comprehend.
No one in the world could understand her thoughts.
It didn’t take long for her predictions to become reality.
