Ego(3)
The first snow fell.
It was a day in early December.
Unlike usual, the students of Stella were excitedly running around the campus, building snowmen, or engaging in snowball fights as if they had become children.
"Whether it's a prestigious school or not, kids are kids."
Among the fresh green sprouts, Aryuman Blueshun stuck his head out, looking disheveled. They say you can't smoke in educational institutions, and indeed, the air was clear.
"Ah, to be young."
Though he appeared to be in his mid-to-late 20s, he was actually a great wizard of the 9th class who had lived for 150 years.
"President, you're here. Let us guide you."
He had sneaked past Stella's main gate as a joke, but it took less than 10 minutes for the guards to find him.
He thought he would surprise them, but they didn't seem very startled. Had Eltman warned them about his personality in advance?
"Not very amusing."
Even seeing Aryuman with his worn-out appearance, the guards showed no sign of agitation.
The fact that he was not in good health due to illness was well known among the wizards.
Walking with the guards, Aryuman looked up at the snowy sky.
Even at his age, the impression the first snow made was always fresh.
...Perhaps it was because he lived with the thought that he might not see next year's first snow.
"It snowed like this on the day I first learned magic."
In Aryuman's childhood, there were no magic schools, so he had no choice but to follow wizards with nasty personalities and learn over their shoulders.
The principal of this school, Eltman, must have gone through the same past. After such experiences, he established a magic school and spread the era of great magic to the world, and he could only respect him anew.
Though they were both 9th-class wizards, his achievements could not even be compared to those of Eltman Eltwin, who brought about a great transformation for humanity.
Following the guide, he eventually arrived at the Stella General Hospital.
Initially, it started as an infirmary for treating injured students, but when it was discovered that the nurse was a genius at magic, it belatedly became a world-renowned hospital.
Hadn't they said it was still crowded with patients from outside?
Before coming here, he checked the basket of golden apples he had brought. These apples were very rare, and despite the legend that they could cure any disease, in reality, they were just incredibly delicious.
It would be a perfect gift for visiting a patient.
"We'll guide you this far."
"Yes. Thank you."
As the guide left, Nurse Reimi timidly raised her head from behind.
"Nurse Reimi? Please guide me."
"Oh... Yes!"
"Where is Baek Yu Seul?"
"We have to go to the top floor...."
"Huh, he's quite the VIP. Isn't that the hospital room Eltman created for his own injuries?"
