The Legend

I prepared to explain the true reason behind the “unnatural” improvement in my results... As if! I can’t just say, “Yeah, a few months ago I remembered I’d actually reincarnated from another world, so I could suddenly study at a level far beyond the reach of an ordinary kid.” That’d just get me into more trouble!

“All I can say is that for the past three months, I’ve pushed myself to my absolute limit. There’s nothing else to it,” I said as honestly as I could without broaching the subject of my awakening.

“Hmph. Unfortunately, the suspicions against you are not so mild as to be cleared up with such a hackneyed explanation.” Godolphen sighed deeply, his stern gaze ever unwavering. “I’ve always felt the true purpose of an examination is to force the student to question their past behavior; to grant them the opportunity to reflect on their results and, if they may be so blessed, to guide them on the path toward further enlightenment. But those who would sully that sacred ground of self-improvement...” Godolphen’s eyes flashed dangerously once more, and the room stiffened perceptibly. “Such cretins are not even worth the air they breathe.”

“Now, Allen Rovene,” he continued. “I may, at my sole discretion, reject your admission to the Academy right here and now. Keep that in mind. I’ll ask for an explanation once again—and don’t think for a second that you can get away with lying to me!”

A few of my classmates shrieked as Godolphen raised his voice. Uh, is this really the guy called “Godolphen the Buddha?” With just a mild threat, the atmosphere he’d created had reached the same danger level my mother could only cause in her most furious form. I knew immediately that I wouldn’t be able to sneak a single lie past the old man, just as he’d said. But maybe a little misrepresentation of the facts...? I chose my next words cautiously.

“At our estate, we have a remarkable private tutor by the name of Soldo Vineforce. It’s because of him that I am here today.”

I decided to shift all the blame onto Gramps.

“Soldo Vineforce, you say? Hmph. That’s not a name I’ve heard before. Do you mean to say that through the help of a single private tutor, you were able to improve your grades to such an implausible extent in a matter of months?” As he spoke, Godolphen tapped the paper on my desk with a forceful hand. Of course—there was no reason the right-hand man of the king would have heard of Soldo before.

“I’m not saying he’s a famous tutor or anything like that. But he’s definitely the best private tutor in the entire kingdom, and I am the proof. I despised studying with all my heart, yet he was able to turn me into an avid student, to the point that I even began to skip meals and sleep just to study more. I’ll never forget what he said to me that fateful day. ‘Allen,’ he said, ‘there is a glorious future ahead, just out of your reach.
