“Boy, there is a letter from my master.” (Burkhart)
“Letter?” (Wendelin)
After finishing the first date with Elise and returning to the Brandt mansion, Burkhart-san gave me a single letter.
The sender of the letter was my official patron, Margrave Breithilde-sama.
“What? What? … Burkhart-san, is this really true?” (Wendelin)
『Because I have already submitted the authorization for you to graduate from the prep school, I wish for you to remain in the capital to work as adventurer there.』 was written in the letter.
“It is really decided. This letter is in the handwriting of my master, isn’t it?” (Burkhart)
“If I’m not mistaken, that’s how it is.” (Wendelin)
However it had a point I couldn’t really agree with.
It was impossible to return to the prep school after finally managing to enroll there. Suddenly having to strive to work as adventurer in the capital could only be commented with “Damn it!”
“Burkhart-san. What is this about?” (Erwin)
Erwin asked the question to Burkhart-san even faster than I could.
The reason was that it wasn’t only me who was treated like that. Continuing to read what was written in the letter, Erwin’s group was likewise put in the same circumstances as I was.
“Those are adult circumstances, you guys.” (Burkhart)
Burkhart-san explained the intention of the letter which was sent by Margrave Breithilde-sama.
First off, despite me still being a minor, I ended up defeating two dragons. The outcome of that was that there was no meaning in me to visit the adventurer prep school in Breitburg any longer.
“At this late hour, what do you want to learn from the lecturer for magic at that prep school?” (Burkhart)
“Well, look. Such things like knowledge necessary for adventurers and skills besides magic. There are such things as well, aren’t there?” (Wendelin)
“If it’s about such knowledge, you can likewise study it at the capital. Besides, there is an exclusive school for adventurers here as well. There are also many various schools gathered here where you can study whatever you like.” (Burkhart)
To begin with, the magician at the prep school didn’t possess a remarkable ability to such an extent.
As it was, an oji-san, who was past at the age of 80 years, had already retired from the adventurer occupation. In case one was an active adventurer working diligently, it was possible to work at some noble household or mercantile house receiving high salary until the age of around 60 years.
Therefore it was inevitable for such an old man to not become anything else but a magic teacher or something like that.
Still, you could say it was still preferable even if it was only to the degree of a magic teacher. As a matter of fact there also was a severe shortage of magicians no matter where you looked, be it prep schools or schools.
“Erwin and the boy as well as Ina-jou-chan and Luise-jou-chan, too. As it it pointless to seclude yourselves for more than 2 years by remaining at the prep school, it will be a better to do something like taking lessons from a first-class expert in the capital.” (Burkhart)
Originally, Erwin’s group were possessors of overwhelming talent in comparison to students of the same age group.
Given that the martial arts teacher, like the magic teacher, wasn’t a master of such a degree either, Erwin’s group in their current condition would be too much for him to handle as his own strength wasn’t that different from theirs.
Even if they couldn’t use magic, in case they were martial arts experts, they preferred the direction of earning an income as adventurers.
Therefore, expect for becoming a temporary advisor, it would be strange for them to become full-time instructors at a prep school. It was a truth that those were quite rare.
Thanks to that, before departing to the capital with Erwin’s group, we received ordinary classroom lectures.
As for practical skill, we were stuck with doing practice battles within our own party.
“I hear that Warren teaches in his free time, Erwin and boy.” (Burkhart)
We could learn the basics of how to handle magic power from an expert as Warren-san is skilled as magic sword master.
Furthermore, given that he was promoted up to company commander of the Imperial Knights corps due to those skills, he was suitable as sword teacher for Erwin.
“I can introduce Ina-jou-chan as well, since there are spearmanship experts in the Imperial Knight Order.” (Burkhart)
“Nee, what about me?” (Luise)
“I have arranged for an excellent teacher for you, too, Luise-jou-chan” (Burkhart) (E: Jumped from ‘can introduce’ to ‘have arranged’? Wend’s group got played!)
