"What were you and Abner talking about?"

Three hours later, with and Abner as the center, several boys who had finished class were walking together on the wide stone path in the academy, and one of them, a dark-haired, dark-eyed, somewhat baby-faced teenager, or youth, had asked with curiosity in his eyes, as he had introduced himself to each other earlier, and Abner remembered that his name was Albert, and that he was in the fourth year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"But Abner saw the names of Mr. Kyle and Miss Catherine in the book, and asked me about their deeds. said lightly, his expression gentle and relatable.

"Mr. Kyle?"

"Miss Catherine?"

The names of the two men were immediately repeated among the others—it sounded as if Heyman had told them about them before.

"Hasn't Abner heard of these two adults before?"

Another polite boy with short fluffy brown hair and pale gray eyes, named Yitzhak, whose father was a baron, asked him.

"I've heard of Miss Catherine's reputation, but not as detailed as Heyman's. Abner said shyly, "Mr. Kyle, I haven't heard of it at all." ”

"Before I came to the Academy, I had seldom heard about these two Excellencies. naturally took over the topic, and there was a hint of memory in his slender eyes: "After all, I was still a child at that time, and I didn't show any special talent, so I couldn't follow my parents to the party, and I couldn't get to know a big man like them." Even the only time I saw Miss Catherine was at the family's New Year's party the year before, when I saw her talking to the Duke from afar, and learned a little about her in passing - it was not until I entered the academy that I was able to learn most of what I knew about Mr. Kyle and Miss Catherine. ”

"Heyman, have you seen Miss Catherine?"

Albert asked with some excitement.

"Just a glance from afar. was modest, and then sighed with emotion: "But even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the arrogance of that Excellency—almost no one can stand around her and talk to her, except for the Duke." ”

The aura is so strong?

-- Abner expressed skepticism --

However, this is probably's exaggeration - of course, maybe it is that powerful. After all, it is called a genius among geniuses, or a top nobleman among the great nobles, and it is not impossible to be so arrogant that he looks down on everyone except himself - the middle two sick boys and girls or something, and it is not the patent and specialty of Blue Star.

So gossiping and moving forward, then Abner and went to the library to borrow books, and the others went straight back to their dorms - some went to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs before going back to the dorm.

"Although there are many books in the college library, most of them are various basic books, which may be able to meet our needs in the lower grades, but when we enter the fourth grade, without a reliable and rich provider of advanced books, it is almost impossible for those of us who want to become sages to do well when we graduate......"

Halfway to the library, admonished Abner with a wry smile.

"Is that so?" Abner blinked cooperatively—even though he had heard that Lord Catherine was a great genius, and felt that it would be difficult for him to reach the top of the world. But he only graduated from the academy, and this level of 'job transfer mission', Abner felt that it was still a piece of cake for himself as a person from another world.

-- I know more than the wisdom of your whole world--

...... looked at Abner with a look of 'Are you telling you the truth?', and a hint of embarrassment flashed across's face - if you are courteous, you must ask for something. The reason why he was so good to Abner was that he wanted to make a good impression on Jane, who might have a close relationship with the other party, there was another reason why he didn't say it.

However, for the sake of your own future, don't be ashamed!

Being able to enter the Lyot Academy of Magic as the second son of the Ellis family, he is not the kind of man who only eats with his face!

--It's not the kind of man who only eats shamelessly.-

"That's it. There was a hint of depression on his wry face, "Because, this is what I have seen and experienced with my own eyes." ”

"Huh?" Abner suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I'm in the fifth grade now, and even if I count this year, I'm going to graduate in two years. 's voice became bitter—partly because of his current situation, and partly because of his (imaginary) comparison with Abner. "But because the knowledge learned is too broad, as well as the lack of professionalism and pertinence, not only can I not become a junior sage in two years, but I don't even have much confidence in trying to get a good position for myself in the royal capital......"

So...... "You want to go through my daddy's back door?"

But it's useless for you to tell me, even if you ask for it directly at my daddy's door.

Instead of that, you might as well ask the little duke of your family - with her connections in the kingdom, even if you become the senior tax official that my father used to be, it might be no problem!

He finally discovered the reason why Heyman was so good to him—to be courteous and to be a thief. I still think he's a good person......

"Abner, can you do me a favor?"

Said it, really said it!

"I'm just the son of a mere viscount...... I'm afraid there's no way to help you. Abner, who barely pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, said with a headache.

If you agree, you won't be able to do it at all, and if you don't agree, you'll offend your eldest brother, will you mess around in the dormitory in the future?!

"No, Abner, you can do it for sure. But was full of confidence in him—he was still pretending, and he had such a good relationship with His Highness Jane, how could he not help himself with this!

"Heyman, tell me what you want me to help you with...... If I can help you, I'll definitely help. Abner was powerless to retreat, looking at the other party's current appearance, if he refused directly, even if he didn't mind on the surface, he would definitely have a mustard in his heart. In order to avoid this situation of offending his predecessors, he had to choose a more roundabout way.

"Hmm. nodded, "It should be very easy for you, Abner—if only you could borrow a book for me." ”

"Huh?"

"What book?"

"On the Contribution of the Planning and Construction of the Road System to the Development of the Nation is a book written by Her Excellency Catherine a few years ago. named the title and author of the book.

“...... Sorry, I haven't heard of this book. Abner's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and although the book sounded so familiar to the world, he was sure that he had not seen it since he came into the world, and he had not seen it

Heard about this book.

"Hmm. Hayman was very calm and did not be discouraged by Abner's answer, "It is normal that you have not heard of Abner, because the circulation of this book is very small, and there are only collections among a few big nobles and the royal family, even the teacher does not have this book." I also heard its name once by chance. ”

"That ......"

"Miss Jane's father, His Excellency the Duke of Valoranburg, has this book. Heyman's face was feverish, but he insisted, "So, Abner, can you borrow this book for me through Miss Jane—if you can help me borrow this book, I will thank you for the rest of my life, Abner!"

――Do you need to make a personal promise?〜

"That'...... I'll just give it a try. The words of refusal were already on his lips, but after seeing Heyman's eyes that seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, Abner involuntarily changed his words.

"But, let me say it in advance—" Seeing that Hayman showed a look of gratitude + ecstasy, Abner added, "I don't know Miss Jane very well, and if you can't borrow it, you don't want to beat me up Hayman." ”

As he spoke, he showed a little timid look, as if he was really worried that Heyman would beat him.

: "......"
