The Book I Wrote Became the Bible

14 – Heading to the Academy

Three days to travel alone with Hans.

We finally arrived at Calandra, the capital of the empire.

Hans succeeded in bringing me all the way to Calandra, despite the fact that I would feel considerable pain from the energy of ‘chaos’.

Even after arriving in Calandra, Hans didn’t settle for an inn or rest before heading to Calandra Academy.

“Hans, I think you’d better rest now. Your body isn’t perfect either. Once nearby…….”

Then Hans replied shaking his head from side to side while keeping his eyes on the front.

“Bocchan, I’m fine.”

“Still.”

“Boss, there was a lot of delay due to an accident that occurred in the middle. If you are late for the academy entrance ceremony, you may miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, it is right to hurry to the academy.”

“Hans… ….”

“And maybe the facilities around the academy are better for me to receive treatment, hehehe. Ah, Bocchan, please hold my waist tight. It is dangerous in the city center because you may come to a sudden stop.”

It took a long time to ride around the city like that.

“Brother, please hold my hand and come down carefully.”

“Thanks, Hans.”

“Bocchan’s hand…….”

I was finally able to arrive.

The best academy in the empire and the imperial academy. A higher education institution that must be completed in order to serve as a noble as a noble blood belonging to the Calandra Empire.

Calandra Academy.

The place where the main story in the game [Deus Ex Machina] Takes place and the main play area.

…… It is the place I most wanted to visit in the 10 years since I came to this world.

Although Siren and Meiren had attended the academy before, they were not allowed to enter the academy as a family.

It is a place that boasts such strict security that even nobles are only allowed to enter while attending school unless there is a special reason.

So, even though it’s been many years since I possessed Luke Persleyno’s body, this was the first time I actually saw this academy.

This is… Academy.

Exactly what I longed for so much…….

“Hey there!”

As I was about to get emotional, I heard someone’s voice.

As I looked to where the voice was coming from, a man with an impressive beard caught my eye.

“Yes, country boy! Yes, you!”

Cho, hillbilly? Are you calling me?

The bearded man approached me slowly.

As the man approached me, it was only then that I recognized who he was.

It was Andre Tavars, an extra gag character that appears in [Deus Ex Machina].

A man of the same age as me, a freshman who has just become an adult and entered the academy, but has a thick beard.

Wow. I see Andre in real life. It was very nice to see a character I met often in the game in real life.

Andre approached me and started talking to me.

“Anyway, it looks like a new student entering the academy, but a new student can only enter the academy alone. So, from here on out, that knight can’t go with me.”

Oh, that’s right. There was such a rule.

Certainly, students at the academy are forbidden to live with an attendant or escort knight.

Perhaps because it was a place where nobles from all over the empire gathered, it was because the security was thorough.

Still, this is the entrance, but I can’t come in anymore.

Certainly, this part is different because it is not implemented in the game.

I turned around and looked at Hans.

“Hans, thank you so much for driving me here.”

“No, boy. It’s something I have to do.”

“Even though I was injured like that, you brought me like this. I could never have come alone. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I can’t go with you from here.”

“Okay, boy. Then I will go now.”

“Yes, Hans. Go see the priest quickly. See you later!”

There must still be scars left, but she smiled at me until the end and left.

Hans…….

Just as I was about to get sentimental again, someone put an arm on my shoulder.

Just like before, it was Andre.

“Anyway, a country boy. What is your name?”

“Name? My name is Luke you?”

“I am Andre Tavares! Have you ever heard of the Tavares estate? I came from the Tavares domain located in the huge granary in the western part of the Empire!”

I know enough. Countess of Tavares. One of the main granaries of the Calandra Empire and the largest grain producer.

Because of this, even though it was a county, the Tavares territory had almost as much prestige as that of a duke.

“Nice to meet you, Andre.”

“Yes, nice to meet you too, Luke. Let’s get along well.”

The guy held out his hand and shook it.

“By the way, Andre. Why did you call me a country boy?”

He himself is not a noble from Calandra, but a local noble.

“Huh? It’s because of the way you look.”

“How did I look?”

What are you talking about?

“You saw this academy and looked around for a long time as if you were curious. It must have been like that for 20 minutes? Are you new to Calandra?”

20 Minutes?

Have I been sentimental for so long?

“No. Did you come here many times when I was young?”

“Ah, don’t lie. Anyone who has been to the capital doesn’t look like you. That’s not all. Even though he was an academy student, he rode a horse, not a carriage, and rode modestly behind a knight, not alone. Are you from a rural baron?”

“…… What?”

“Looking at the fact that he was accompanied by a knight, it seems that he was not from a commoner… Or are you from a fallen noble?”

“Pu-sup… Puhahahaha, hahahahaha!”

“What, what, why are you laughing? Are you that funny?”

Come to think of it, Andre was this kind of guy.

He has excellent abilities and a fun affinity, but he’s an erratic guy.

No matter how much you call me a country boy. This is fresh

Isn’t it? After all, the countryman is right.

I’m from Pulseleino, at the northern end of the empire.

“Ha ha ha ha…. Okay. Come to think of it, I must be a country boy.”

“Really? Where are you from?”

“I’m from the northern end of there, from the Persleyno estate.”

“Oh Pulserayno. Isn’t that the northern shield that protects the empire? Are you from a nice place?”

This is why I liked this guy.

He seems to have the characteristics of being eccentric and strong and weak, but he is naturally kind and wants to get along with everyone.

As I said earlier, I sometimes get angry because I make mistakes, but that’s my charm.

He would have been half dead right away if he had called Siren-sister or Mei-Lu-sister a hillbilly, not me.

That might have been fun as it was.

“Anyway, then you are from a baron family or your downfall… aaagh!”

Andre, who continued to chatter, suddenly grabbed his ankle and sat down.

A woman stood behind him.

“Keuk. What are you doing, Sunny!”

Sunny. It’s Sunny Kuzen.

“Luke, long time no see.”

“Yes, it’s been a while since Sunny.”

A friend I made at one of the few aristocratic gatherings I attended after I came to this world.

Well, it’s actually a friend she made through her father’s connections.

“No Sunny! Why did you kick my ankle?”

“… It was wrong for you to show me your ankles.”

He is strangely obsessed with other people’s ankles.

Well, it’s because of her ‘gift’ ability that she has that kind of personality, though.

So, her nickname among [Deus Ex Machina] Users was Ankle Slayer.

“… Hey let’s not talk Yeah, I was just getting to know my new friend, Luke. You guys look like you know each other?”

“… A social gathering, a meeting.”

“I see…” . Still, I don’t know, so I’m curious about Luke’s identity. So Luke. Are you from a baron family or a fallen noble?”

“…… ? What are you talking about?”

Listening to Andre’s words, Sunny tilted her head and asked.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Luke. Pulse Rayno.”

“Ah, I heard that earlier. So, what kind of title did you come from in Pulse Rayno…….”

“No. Luke. Pulse Rayno. Droughty. Native.”

“…… Huh? Now, wait a minute. That, so Luke isn’t just from the Persleyno estate…. Archduke Pulseleino’s…… Son?”

Nod

Sunny added, nodding her head.

“Andre. Idiot.”

“Well, then I will go against Pulse Rayno…… Cho, a country boy…… ! Siren, Meilu… Against that Pulse Rayno, which is full of bad-tempered monsters…… !”

Here, the characters you only see in games and the characters you meet in real life are completely different.

It’s fun just watching them move.

I’ve only met two characters, but I’m already looking forward to it.

Academy.

[Deus Ex Machina]

“Ouch…… I fell behind.”
