I'Ll Play With Them Like Chess Pieces
Chapter 3
.•*•.•*•.•*•.•*•.•*•.•*•.
I asked my father if I could go to the academy where Lamie went to.
Voaño Odelleya
Of course you can. My son wants to learn about magic, so of course I would let you go there
Voaño Odelleya
Back when I enrolled you there, in the enrollment room, when they said to show what you could do... You tried your best, but there's nothing coming out. I thought you don't want to go there anymore...
Liam de Odelleya
(I know I don't have any memory of that, but you don't have to remind me that... If it's the real Liam here, he will not go anymore for real if you reminded him of that...)
Liam de Odelleya
Ah... Yes
Liam de Odelleya
But I want to learn magic even if I lack of understanding! Lamie said I could still learn magic if I worked hard!
Haha... It really is kind of cringe when you act as a child when you're mentally an adult...
(I'm pointing out to those female leads that are reincarnated to a child's body... I'm a manhwa isekai reader)
But yeah, it's still a way to not get any suspicions
Voaño Odelleya
*smile* Okay... If that's what my son wants
Liam de Odelleya
(He is handsome when he smiled... I don't know why he keeps making that poker face)
Liam de Odelleya
(But maybe... That's also my face when I'm thinking seriously)
( ´~｀)
Liam de Odelleya
Thanks, dad
Voaño Odelleya
Get ready, we will go there tomorrow with Lamie since he is going back to the academy too by tomorrow
Voaño Odelleya
They got a three weeks holiday to rest, so this is a perfect time for tomorrow for enrollments
Liam de Odelleya
Okay, dad
Summer is starting to end too, so the time is really perfect
(You asking why is it year 2999? It's easy, Kingdoms started at 3000 BC or BCE. 1 BC/BCE is equivalent to 1 year. To find how many years ago was any BC/BCE year, you need to add to it the current year and subtract one, so 3000 + 2024 - 1 = 5023, so how is it 2999? It's simple subtract 2024 and 5023)
(It would be -2999, or we should just do it in an opposite way since it's the same answer. That's how I calculated it, simple math, right?)
Lamie de Odelleya
Are you ready, brother?
Liam de Odelleya
Of course
Lamie de Odelleya
My brother is so pretty for real (〃∀〃)ゞ
Voaño Odelleya
Let's wait for your mother
We waited for mother until she finally went outside
Lukina Odelleya
I see you guys still having patience for waiting, huh?
Voaño Odelleya
Took you so long, love
Lukina Odelleya
Oh, please. A Duchess should be always pretty
We went inside the carriage, after that, it starts moving
Lukina Odelleya
Liam, don't get too nervous about your second enrollment, okay? Don't pressure yourself, if you can't do it, you can't, there's always an another chance
Lamie de Odelleya
Mom... Brother knows that
Liam de Odelleya
(I like how they spoke to me in a soothing tone... Unlike in my real world)
Liam de Odelleya
Yeah, of course, mom
We arrived in front of the academy of all Kingdoms
We got outside of the carriage, and we started going inside
Lamie de Odelleya
I should get going, mom, dad, brother
Liam de Odelleya
Bye *smile*
Lamie de Odelleya
Good luck, brother!
He waved at me, and went to his friends
Voaño Odelleya
Let's go now?
While we were waiting until the others were done on their enrollment entrance
(meaning, showing what magic you have, and if you don't have any, you can't enter the academy of all kingdoms)
Assistant
Next! Liam de Odelleya, please come inside!
Lukina Odelleya
Good luck!
Liam de Odelleya
Yes, mom, dad
I went inside of the enrollment entrance
Beholder of the enrollment
Could you please enter focus mana core?
System: Entering focus mana core illusion...
System: Your mana has increased by 50
System: Your mana has increased by 50
System: Your mana has increased by 50
System: As you keep entering focus mana core illusion, your skill "Focus mana core" has increased by 1 level. Instead of 50 mana that is increasing, you will got an increased mana by 100 every 5 second
Beholder of the enrollment
You could stop now
System: Current mana: 276
300 - 24 = 276
Liam de Odelleya
(Oh... Must be because Lamie and I cast a spell together)
Beholder of the enrollment
What magic can you do?
Liam de Odelleya
(Since the only basic magic I know is wind... I should cast a spell, right?)
Liam de Odelleya
(I should use the same spell to not waste my mana)
Liam de Odelleya
(Wait! I didn't mean to use a stronger hot air one!)
Liam de Odelleya
(I couldn't uncast it)
The hot air started coming out
The hot air started effecting me
Beholder of the enrollment
Defend that child, it's the academy's top priority to protect the students
I was about to passed out, but then the assistant suddenly put a barrier on me
System: Current mana: 100
Beholder of the enrollment
You...
Liam de Odelleya
I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to cast a stronger one because it would suck my mana, and I-
Beholder of the enrollment
It's not about that
Beholder of the enrollment
You enrolled here, right?
Beholder of the enrollment
This is your second time enrolling, right?
Beholder of the enrollment
You can't properly control your magic... Because of that, there might happen a day that you would accidentally cast a spell that is strong
Liam de Odelleya
(A-Am I not getting accept?)
Beholder of the enrollment
We will still accept you, but you need to practice controlling your own mana
Beholder of the enrollment
The problem is your mana
Beholder of the enrollment
You wanted to show us a weak spell, but your mana suddenly broke its own barrier
Beholder of the enrollment
We don't have any mages from the magic tower here that can seal your mana to get controlled by you again, but we do have one student
Assistant
He's unapproachable, but you could try
Assistant
Even other mages couldn't approach him because he would completely vanish once you got close to him
Assistant
He is the son of the emperor from the East
Assistant
You know who I am talking about, right?
Liam de Odelleya
(Didn't know he is a talented one because I didn't get to see his magical powers)
I left the room, and saw father and mother sitting on the couch
Lukina Odelleya
How is it?
Liam de Odelleya
I got accepted *smile*
Voaño Odelleya
Since we now know what's the result, we should leave Liam by himself
Lukina Odelleya
Good luck, son
I need to meet that kid to seal my mana onto my control again
