The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

22 – Santa

As I stare at Nelson as he continues to write something, smiling at my answer.

A familiar message appeared in the status window.

[ Personality – The nervous breakdown is gone. ]

Bewildered by the sudden message, I muttered in the status window so that Nelson couldn’t hear it.

The sense of inferiority and defeat in my personality was the same, but as the message said, the nervous breakdown that had been bothering me for so long had disappeared.

Is it because I met Ross and had a sincere conversation? Just when I was smiling with joy at the fact that the shackles of a nervous breakdown were gone. When Nelson finished, he put down his pen and looked at me.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Yes.”

I was in a good mood and answered a little brightly, but Nelson’s question made me quite embarrassed.

“You used the secret passage.”

“That, that….”

Let’s stutter in embarrassment. Nelson said with a warm smile.

“Don’t worry. I’m not asking because I suspect you’re related to the Warlock. I’m just asking because I’m curious.”

I replied with a little relief at Nelson’s words.

“I wanted to check it myself. Are the black magicians really preparing the hatchery…. I’m afraid I’ll just go through the trouble with my words.”

Was that a good answer? Nelson nodded his head in understanding.

“Yes, that must have been hard to believe. I fully understand.”

With a warm smile, Nelson continued talking as if he was sorry.

“All the secret passages in the academy have been closed. It is because of the risk that an external enemy can use it like this time.”

I felt great regret at those words. They were able to find Gias through a secret passage, and the investigation into the stone thorn disease remained.

As I was feeling regret, I heard Nelson talking to himself.

“Sorry. How hard I struggled to make it with my friend….”

“Yes… ?”

Nelson, who had come to his senses at my question, shook his head as he touched his beard with a strange, haggard laugh.

“I guess I should reward myself for being late. Is there anything you want?”

As if changing the topic, I thought about it while pretending not to hear Nelson talking to himself.

The principal was an ambiguous person. He was an oddball who would ask for something weird and he would respond with something even stranger.

I thought carefully about what I need the most right now. The most important thing is, of course, that he lacks the magical power to use Patulga’s spell book.

To solve the magic problem, you need to find a cure for stone thorn disease. With the secret passage gone, I only had time to investigate over the weekend.

“If you can go out to the academy freely… ?”

Let’s ask carefully. As if waiting, Nelson smiled and replied.

“Hmm, your age is the perfect age to buy and play.”

Nelson joked with a mischievous smile, then spoke in a serious voice.

“But it is dangerous alone. I’m still in the first year, and no matter how strong a person is, I need someone to entrust my back to.”

Nelson took something out of a drawer and handed it to me.

“This is… ?”

That’s what’s written in big letters on the paper.

– Club application – It was.

“I will give you a chance to create a special club.”

Bewildered by Nelson’s words, I took my eyes off the application form and looked at Nelson.

“If there are more than 3 people including you, I will allow a special club where I am the professor in charge. With the support of the most powerful principal in the academy, you can buy and play as much as you like.”

As I said that, seeing Nelson’s mischievous figure winking in one eye, even a little bit of tension that remained in me unbeknownst to me was relieved and I smiled.

Looking at the application form, I scratched my neck, realizing that this was a great opportunity, but also a very difficult one.

Other people could quickly fill the club, but I couldn’t do that.

Of course, at the academy, the people I talk to are Roel, Ellie, and sometimes Rosalyn.

However, it was impossible to include these three people in the club. Of course, if I ask to join the club, Roel will surely answer yes….

Roel had to go with the flow of the story I knew. And Roel’s heroines, Eli and Rosalyn, could have changed from the flow I knew if they got involved with me.

Let’s sigh at the extremely difficult quest where we have to save two people besides myself. Nelson said with a smile, as if he had noticed my troubles.

“Make friends. At first, it will be awkward to approach first, and it will be hard to refuse, but somewhere there might be someone who will be your lifelong friend waiting for you to approach.”

“Yes….”

I could count my friends on one hand even though I lived as Jinxian…. Could it be possible?

“Do you know what is the most important thing you can get at the academy?”

“Growth or strength… ?”

At my uncertain answer, Nelson smiled.

“It is friendship. Friendship is a mixture of love, courage and sincerity. It’s something very important that can support and help me even surpass my limits.”

“… That’s why it’s hard to get.”

“That’s why it’s a more precious law.”

He smiled awkwardly at Nelson’s words and nodded his head. I don’t want to miss the friend in my heart.

“After you rewarded me for enduring the interrogation and rewarded me for my tardiness, I must finally reward you for your bravery.”

I felt as if I had met Santa in person with Nelson’s action of giving a reward for a reward for a reward. After all, Nelson was the most reliable man in the world.

Nelson handed me the paper he had just finished writing.

“When you showed me magic. He seems to be suffering from a lack of magical power. So I changed it a bit to make it more comfortable for you to use.”

With a trembling heart at those words, I checked the paper Nelson handed me.

As explained, the basic space magic Nelson changed was more efficient than the previous one, and it consumed less mana.

Is he also the Archmage? To change the spell to suit me just by looking at the magic book once…. As I looked at Nelson with respect, Nelson smiled contentedly and began to explain, perhaps noticing the look in my eyes.

“Can you see the circuit used here? The connection of this circuit….”

Let’s focus on the teachings of Nelson, the great wizard and sage. After a long time, I was able to make a new spell into my own.

“Can I try it?”

“Sure. I want to see if you can do well.”

After saying that, Nelson handed me a pen on the desk.

I took the pen and used the new basic space magic to create a passage of images. Minimize the size of the exit of the dimension, and also reduce the size of the aisle. Magic power consumption was reduced by more than half.

I threw the pen into the space to my left and pointed it at the preset coordinates. I set the pen to come out through the exit of the dimension I made on the right.

Around the time the pen that had been flying to the left appeared from the right and fell to the floor. I immediately recognized the coordinates of the falling pen and created a new exit above my head.

Let’s catch the pen falling from above. Overjoyed, I let out a cheer that caused the elves in hiding to scream. Even though he made two more dimension doors, his magic did not run out.

It was what I needed the most right now, and I felt overwhelmed with the feeling that I had accomplished something.

Nelson, who watched my magic, clapped his hands and praised me.

“This is really great. Having an excellent understanding of space is an innate ability. I don’t know if this magic is in your hands, it’s a destiny determined by the gods.”

I couldn’t hide my joy at Nelson’s praise and smiled. I returned the pen, folded the club application form Nelson had given me, and put it in my pocket.

“Thank you. Principal Nelson. It really helped me a lot.”

Let’s be truly grateful. Said Nelson, stroking his well-groomed beard.

“Even a hero needs the wisdom of a ‘sage’ sometimes.”

Nelson continued his speech with a subtle smile.

“If you have any difficulties, you can come to the principal’s office at any time. Unless, of course, you don’t mind coming to the principal’s office.”

Feeling comfortable with Nelson’s joke until the end, I nodded his head.

“I will come to apply for a club next time.”

“Okay, go in.”

I nodded at Nelson’s greeting and left the principal’s office with a happy smile.

***

As Ross exited the headmaster’s office, Nelson, who maintained his dignified headmaster’s appearance, immediately leaned his body back so far that his chair tipped backwards.

It was very difficult to be in front of the students as a ‘wise man’ who did not fit his personality. As Nelson rested his legs on the desk, the fairies, confirming that Ross was gone, began roaming the principal’s office.

Nelson took a moment to organize his thoughts and took out a report from the desk drawer. It was a report that Professor Leora separately investigated the black magician’s attack this time.

– Follow the trail Ross left. The warlock appears to have discovered the secret passage.

“Sometimes there are truths that don’t need to be told.”

Nelson tossed the report into the air and snapped his fingers. The report was torn into small pieces and set on fire. The fairies who saw it flew around the sparks as if they were having fun.

Looking at it with a smile on his face, Nelson hurriedly shouted when he noticed the fairy taking the chocolate away from his eyes.

“You bastards! That chocolate is expensive! You should eat cheap chocolate for the fairy, not for the guest!”

Nelson saw the fairies take away the chocolates they had put out for the students who came to the principal’s office after a long absence. He hurriedly lowered his legs from the desk, trying to protect the expensive chocolate from the vicious fairies stealing it.

Already the fairies were laughing amongst themselves, picking up chocolate and climbing up to the bookshelf out of reach, murmuring.

Seeing that, Nelson sighed and said as if he was dumbfounded.

“Me too. Can you blame a young student for his mistakes?”

Looking at the fairy enjoying the chocolate, Nelson smiled bitterly.
