Ly Ortnek.
My new name.
I just shortened Raymond because if the name changes too much, I won't be able to react immediately when called.
Can you understand Ortnek if it's in Roman letters?
"ORTNEC"
If you read it from the opposite side,
"CENTRO"
It becomes Chentro in Italian pronunciation.
It's simple, but there's no Roman letters in this world, so I won't be found out, I won't be found out.
The reason why the name is similar to the prince is because I was born in the same year and I want to benefit from it.
The reason why the response is slow when called by the family name is because I'm from the countryside and there's a strong sense of family, so we don't call each other by the family name.
I won't be found out, I won't be found out.
It's okay, it's okay.
This time, I'm going to live in a student dormitory with furniture that the academy lends to students.
The toilet and kitchen are shared. The laundry area and drying area are located in a courtyard-like place.
It's a three-story building in the shape of a 口, with a shared space on the upper side. The entrance and a three-story atrium are on the lower side.
The rooms are lined up on the left and right sides.
I'm in Room 301 at the far end of the third floor.
By the way, there are three staircases in the building.
One each at the junction of the lower side and the vertical side. And one in the middle of the upper side.
By the way, my room is the room right after going up the stairs on the left side.
For the time being, I hoisted the two bags containing clothes and miscellaneous goods again, and I started to climb the stairs.
"Alright, this is it. Well, it's nice that it's a corner room even though it's close to the stairs."
When I tried to insert the key that I had received in advance into the door and open it, the door of Room 302, which is the room next to mine, opened.
"Oh? Are you a new student?"
I was called out by a man with olive-colored hair and glasses.
He's probably two or three years older than me.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Oliver. Are you in the magician department too?"
In order to take the hand that he friendly extended with a smile, I also reached out my hand.
"Nice to meet you, Oliver. But I'm not in the magician department but in the knight department, th-..."
My hand, which I had definitely grabbed and was going to hold, cut through the air.
Thinking that it was strange, when I dropped my gaze from his face to my hand, his hand was lifted up a little so that we couldn't shake hands.
"Um? Oliver?"
"The knight department? Not the business department or the technical department?"
"Eh, that's right, but..."
"Hmm."
Saying only that, Oliver returned to the room next to mine as it was without shaking hands after all.
"What was that all about?"
Still unconvinced, I carried the luggage into the room and silently began to tidy up.
The academy doesn't have a set uniform in particular.
There isn't one, but to make it clear what you belong to, you wear something that shows the department or major like a school badge.
For example, if it's the knight department, it's a charm with a dragon drawn on it.
If it's the magician department, it's a millennium tree, if it's the social humanities department, it's an open eye, if it's the business department, it's a crystal of jewels, if it's the technical department, it's a gear.
When you go up to the higher department, the emblem is surrounded by ivy, and if you're recognized as a professor, flowers bloom in that ivy ring.
I'm a freshman in the knight department, so it's a very ordinary charm with a dragon drawn on it.
By the way, the social humanities department is a department that learns about history and literature related to things other than magic, technology, and business.
Agriculture and animal husbandry are not considered to be things to learn, and medicine corresponds to white magic, which branches off from the magician department.
There are no subjects such as geography or science in this world in the first place.
Geography is considered to be enough with a map, and science is hidden in the shadow of magic and no one is emphasizing it.
Well, magic is permeating everywhere in life for that reason, though.
"Shining plants instead of electricity. Magic stones instead of home appliances. It's eco-friendly in a way, isn't it?"
The magic stones used in magic transmissions used in the Chentro Kingdom are the same as fossils, and are the result of continuing to compress magical power underground for a long time.
They accumulate magical power little by little for thousands or tens of thousands of years, so they're almost lifelong.
The amount that can be taken is small, so it's not generally distributed.
What is generally distributed as a substitute for that is the core that can be taken from magical beasts.
The main source of income for adventurers is this, and the stronger the magical beast, the more magical power is contained in this core, and the higher the price.
Even if it's just cheaper than magic stones, the core of magical beasts is still quite expensive.
So the lighting in my new home is dragon jade.
Although it's necessary to take care of it, it can be used as lighting semi-permanently as long as it doesn't wither.
"It's really convenient, isn't it?"
After tidying up the room to some extent, I suddenly remembered Oliver, who I had met earlier.
"Even so, why did his attitude change so much just because I said that I was in the knight department?"
I didn't hear anything in particular from Bertrand-niisama, but there may be troublesome problems rolling around in the academy after all.
Like, even in the same school, if the departments are different, "There are a lot of people like this in that department" or "There are a lot of people who cause problems", those prejudices create friction, right?
What if that was happening in the academy, between the magician department and the knight department?
"Very troublesome"
That's all there is to say.
I was originally taught magic by Bertrand-niisama, and I know that I don't have as much sword talent as Cyrillos-sensei.
If so, I have no choice but to make full use of both the sword and magic.
And yet, the opposition is
"Extremely troublesome"
