For the first time in a while, everyone was on the Management Floor.
There was Kouhi and Mitsuki, and female members including Shrein, and the children of Sylvia and Floria.
Towa, who turned 15 this year, was set to graduate from the highschool of the academy.
To graduate from highschool, students had to show a certain level of academic knowledge.
Towa had decided to graduate early.
Of course, he was not the only one who had decided to graduate at this time of year. Those who have achieved such excellent grades have already been offered positions in various organizations within Razequa Amamiya.
After graduating, Towa was going to follow Floria around and learn about his duties as a future King. This way, he would get to know the influential people of each region, including their close aides.
Currently, Towa was playing a puzzle game with Luka.
It was a puzzle game where they could learn about magic circles created by Kousuke.
From the very beginning, Luka had shown glimpses of talent, and he had steadily developed that talent.
Now, he could solve the problems designed for advanced players, albeit with some difficulty.
In contrast, Towa studied mainly about the art of ruling as the future King, but he also excelled in magic.
He took this course in school because he was interested, but his grades were among the top five in his year.
As magic studies itself covered all aspects of magic, it was not focused on just teaching about magic circles. Even so, if one studied magic as a specialist in the upper grades of the academy, they would also learn about magic circles used by advanced users.
Towa, who was one of the best students in school, was also very knowledgeable about magic circles.

Mia, who had been unable to keep up with Towa and Luka, because their level of mastery was too high, came to see how they were doing again.
“How hard is the puzzle, Big Brother?”
Luka was busy solving the problem right now so Towa responded to Mia instead, since he was simply watching over Luka.
“Well, it’s difficult. But that’s what makes it interesting.”
Towa’s smiled made Mia happy as well.
It was rare for Prince Towa, who had started to act as the Crown Prince, to show his emotions so openly.
“I see.”
“How are things with you?”
Mia, who had trouble keeping up with the level of difficulty of the puzzle the two were solving, stopped for a bit to look at her two siblings.
The other siblings were also busy solving the puzzle. Incidentally, the problems they were solving were of the intermediate level, and were already not that easy to solve.
It could be said that from this, Kousuke’s blood was certainly running through their veins.
Mia was unable to keep up with the level of the two, but it was not because her abilities were not on par.
In fact, at school, she was getting really high grades in magic just like her Older Brothers. She was even better than her other siblings when it came to magic circles.
“It seems that both Riku and Kokoro have mastered the basics. Now, it’s just a matter of applying what they’ve learned.”
“…I can’t say I’m a top student when I’m here.”
Mia gave Towa, who was smiling wryly, a similar smile in return.
This was especially when they looked at Luka. He was at a level that was completely beyond them, at least when it comes to magic circles.
As for Luka, he had already been called a genius by the teaching staff.
However, that was only in terms of magic circles, and his grades in other subjects were average.
Kousuke’s children were particularly strong in terms of excelling in one thing.
“You’re already recognized as the Crown Prince. In comparison, I don’t have anything special compared to everyone else.”
Towa widened his eyes at Mia for saying so.
“For the love of God, don’t say that in front of other students.”
Towa had his reasons for saying this.
It was true that Mia did not have anything that stood out. However, when it came to what they learned at school, she always achieved excellent grades.
If they were to ask the teachers at the academy who the most outstanding of all the siblings was, they would undoubtedly give Mia’s name.
When she first enrolled at the academy, Mia caused quite a stir, but since being assigned a bodyguard, she had always achieved excellent grades.
She had never relinquished her position as top of her class in any year. It could be said that her excellence was unparalleled.
“Of course I won’t. It’s only here that I can say it.”
Mia shrugged her shoulders as she replied.
Like Towa, Mia, who was always in the spotlight, was in a lonely situation where the only people she could be herself with were the people on this Floor.
The same was true for Riku.
In contrast, Kokoro and Luka, who were Sylvia’s children, were not as remarkable. They receive attention because of their excellent grades, but that was about it.
Towa and the others were receiving attention because they were ‘the children of Floria, the Queen of Razequa Amamiya’. They were not attracting attention because they were ‘Kousuke’s children’.
It was not that they were hiding it, but they were not going around talking about it either.
There was also the fact that those who have learned the truth have not spread the word, as doing so could cause the anger of two ‘greater powers’.
As a result, Towa and the others were not currently receiving the kind of attention that would make them be labeled as ‘The Child of God’.

As Towa returned to solving the puzzle again along with Luka, Kousuke approached them.
Until now, the adults had been together in one corner, talking. However, they had come to see how the children were progressing.
“How are you doing?”
“Oh, Father. I’m doing fine but…”
Luka replied to Kousuke as he looked at Towa who was working on the problem at the time.
Towa was struggling.
At the advanced level, there were dozens of holes in the questions, so the answers were also varied.
Some problems were based on a single pattern, but most have multiple possible answers.
This was the tricky part: sometimes, one magic circle was mixed up with another, and that did not count as the correct answer. Therefore, it was very difficult to find out what was wrong.
“Oh, I see.” Kousuke immediately found what was wrong when he looked at the problem Towa was solving.
It was a typical mistake pattern, where he had mixed up the two magic circles.
Each of the magic circles was correct, but when if one looked at it closely, these two could be seen as a single magic circle. That single large magic circle was incorrect, so it was natural Towa’s answer to be wrong.
“You can tell at a glance, can’t you?”
Towa looked at Kousuke with a frustrated expression as he took his eyes off the problem.
“Of course. If you can’t tell something like this at a glance, you can’t make golems that work.”
Although it was Kouhi and Mitsuki who were actually making the maid golems, Kousuke also understood the theory behind their creation.
Kousuke’s sense of aesthetics was unfortunately lacking, so he just could not create many different types of beautiful people like Kouhi and Mitsuki could.
“Are the golems also made using magic circles?”
“Of course. The basis of all magical tools is based on magic circles. That’s the same even for divine tools.”
There was a difference between whether it was Magical Power or Divine Power that was being used, but the basic principle of operation was the use of magic circles.
A magic circle was the same as a circuit for magical tools.
“So, will I be able to make golems like them?”
Kousuke blinked when Luka’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had no idea that Luka was interested in golems.
“Of course. But there are other things you need to know besides knowing about magic circles.”
“Then, I’ll work harder at my studies!”
“I see. If you would like to know more about golems, you should ask Kouhi for more details.”
Lately Kouhi had been going back and forth between Floria and Sylvia.
She had stated that she would continue this lifestyle until the children reach adulthood, so if Luka would like to know more about golems, it would be best to ask Kouhi the details.
“Yes!”
Kousuke strokes Luka’s head with his right hand as he nods with a happy, childlike expression.
