�But this is too sudden. What about Shirone?�

�That�s why the family is talking. They are thinking about sending you and Shirone to the academy together. You said yesterday that Shirone is better at wielding a sword than you.�

Shirone was startled.

Due to Rian�s personality, he wouldn�t have spoken about it first, and Reina seemed to be puzzled by this too.

�Why me��

While delusional ideas and thoughts flashed through Shirone�s head, Rian was thinking more realistically.

�Well, that�s true. But Shirone�s not going to the swordsmanship academy. There�s something else he wants to do. Actually, I was thinking about something� But since it has come to this, you should ask our grandfather for something.�

�Huh? What do you mean?�

Reina turned her head to face Shirone, but Shirone didn�t open his mouth. It was not something he could openly talk about.

In the first place, it was unrealistic to even try and enroll a commoner in a swordsmanship academy.

However, no one in the Ogent family was currently opposed to supporting Shirone.

Since Rian had made his knight�s oath, even if it was only for the honor of the Ogent family, Shirone had to succeed. He had to become someone special.

When Rian saw Shirone�s hesitation, Rian spoke up in his stead.

�Because Shirone is going to become a mage. He�s not interested in swordsmanship.�

Reina�s eyes widened.

�What? A mage? So you actually lost to an aspirant mage in a sword fight? Rian� That�s pathetic.�

�Shut up! I know! But Shirone is really a genius! I�m positive he�d be a lot better than Rai if he were a swordsman.�

�Oho, he�s that strong?�

Rian was not the type to disparage even his enemies, so to him, Shirone looked different. Special.

�N-No. How could I��

Sensing Reina�s gaze, Shirone didn�t know where to look, so he ended up lowering his eyes.

�Alright. I�ll propose that to the other side. But you might still be enrolled in the swordsmanship academy, Rian. Dad is someone who uses his opponents� weaknesses thoroughly.�

�Tsk! Whatever. I�ll think about it.�

After all, for the sake of his master, he would not only take on the academy, but an army if need be.

�Actually, this is important to me, too!�

He won�t be able to protect Shirone with his current sword skills.

Following a knock, a butler entered.

�Young master Shirone�s family has just arrived. They are supposed to be escorted to the mansion, but if the young master would like to greet them, I was ordered by the Lord to guide you to them.�

Rian slapped his knee. JrNovels.com
