Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 157 [Bonus ] Intermission: A Gift From The Little Brother



Those structures were meant for the usage of the ones who were occupying the premises, the respected teachers and noble students of the prestigious Dixon Imperial Academy.

It was an institution that was responsible for nurturing young nobles of the empire and those of other countries as well. A place where pampered adolescents study and socialize with their peers.

As the catch basin for the aspiring people of the continent, the academy was largely comprised of state-of-the-art facilities with cutting-edge technologies.

It had its own arena that was significantly smaller than the grand stadium of the Imperial Capital, the biggest arena on the continent. Its capacity was only intended for the number of students attending the academy, unlike the public entrance of the grand stadium.

The academy also owned a few of the best facilities on the continent, such as the largest library, the most advanced laboratories, and many more. Not only were they built for the students but also for the safety and prosperity of the empire and the continent.

Since the academy was home to almost exclusively aristocratic people, including some royalty, the security of the premises was one of the tightest on the entire continent.

For that reason, the dormitories for the academy staff and the students were constructed within the school premises.

The dorm buildings were separated by categories such as gender and their classification as a student, teacher, or staff.

Other than that, the level of services and security depended on their aristocratic ranks as well. The higher the rank, the better the quality of the room. The dorms for royalties even had their own servants.

In one of the dormitories for female students, the first-year female students of the academy were passing through the second-floor corridor. The classes for that day had ended, and the students were on their way to their respective dorms.

The building consisted of three floors; the first floor was for the reception, while the rest contained rooms for the accommodation of the female students.

Most of the tenants of that particular building were ladies who hailed from noble houses around the continent. The minority of them were the scholars who saw potential to improve themselves.

Among those ladies who were tracing the hallway was an adolescent with long, lustrous black hair and a beautiful complexion. Even clad in her school uniform, her prominent figure was finely shaped by it.

She walked the hallway graciously with the gait of a superior. Each click of her heel made the other ladies take a glimpse at her. They could not help but be in awe when the most powerful student just walked in front of them.

Her name was none other than Louise Raevender, the daughter of the Sword Saint and the Sage. She was only a rookie, yet she was already the strongest student in the academy.

Not only had she surpassed her seniors, she had overwhelmed the teachers as well. With the strength of Level seven hundred, it would not be wrong if she were to be dubbed the strongest individual in the annals of the academy.

But even with her supremacy, the opinions of students, especially the females, had always been divided.

Students and teachers of both genders saw her in admiration; not only were they attracted to her feminine charms, but a portion of them recognized and looked upon her virile traits, such as her overwhelming strength.

But there were times when some students had repugnant eyes toward her, especially the females. The reason was that Louise was well known for inheriting a certain trait from her parents.

(Sigh.)

Louise could not help but let out an internal sigh as she traced the hallway upon seeing the actions and responses of the students around her.

While there were girls who looked up at her with glistening eyes, Louise also sensed others who were averting their eyes or even keeping their distance from her. But only to a certain extent, and not to provoke her.

Louise accepted their aversion and awareness since she understood their reasoning. No matter who she was, no matter how strong she was, and no matter where she was, there were still people who could not just accept her sexuality.

She had not revealed her sexuality herself, but she indeed anticipated that it would be discovered eventually based on her background and actions.

There were even rumors about her that circulated inside the campus, but she paid no mind to them since some of them were somewhat true. When someone asked her personally, she just casually told them the truth.

Deep in thoughts, Louise was already in front of her destination, the door of her own room, before she knew it. She unlocked the door and opened it before walking inside the room.

"Hm? What is that?"

As soon as she entered her room, she noticed something new and unknown inside that was placed on a new table. She first shut the door before she made an approach toward it.

Once she reached a certain distance, the first thing she noticed was that the thing had a rectangular shape and was quite big. She had no idea what it was or how it got into her room, but was genuinely curious about it.

She drew closer and sat herself with folded arms and crossed legs on her bed, which was facing the table of the said object. She inspected it again and had a full view of the object.

In front of her was an oddly large rectangular object that was constructed with odd concepts. She estimated that the longer side of that object would be measured at around fifty inches.

The object consists of a glossy black frame made out of durable jet glass. The frames were measured to be an inch wide and three inches thick, and they formed the perimeter of another part.

Skirted by the flame was a wide panel that covered up the entire body of the object. It was as glossy as the frame but was made from a transparent glass-like material. Louise doesn't know what material it was, but she is certain that it is as durable as the jet glass.

The same as the black frame, the transparent panel was around three inches thick.  Even with that thickness, she was able to see behind it as if looking at a glass pane.

After her observation of the main body of the object, Louise shifted her attention to the base of it and saw a pair of stands that hold the heavy object upright. But the stands were made from black metal instead of glass.

But Louise was able to recognize it and came up with a vague idea of what the object was. Then she saw a slip of paper that was placed under one of the stands.

She stood up from the bed and approached the object. Then she put a hand on top of it and leaned on the object to release the slip. The object was quite big and heavy, but her strength allowed her to move it easily.

Once she read the words "From Raphael" that were written on the slip, Louise was able to strengthen her guess.

(A teevee?)  She raised a brow while looking at the object, then thought to herself.

The object in front of her was something similar to a television that she had seen in the footage that her little brother, Raphael, had shown her before. She had been asking her brother about his previous world, so she somehow knew a certain amount about it.

(But why would he send me this thing? And for what purpose?) She pondered again and thought about the reason.

From what her little brother told her, television was a device for receiving signals from a distance and displaying them in visual form. It was a common device that almost every household had to receive information and entertainment from all over the world.

Louise found the television very convenient for communication, but Raphael told her it was also very dangerous at the same time since it could be branded as a perfect device for war.

Compared to magical communications such as Telepathy, which could only work between two persons, the television provided far more information to a broader audience.

Every soldier was provided with the same visual and audio data, vastly improving the accuracy of orders. Communication devices like television could definitely change the way wars were waged.

Knowing her little brother, she found it suspicious since there was no particular reason for it except if he was so desperate for her presence that he created a device for them to chat with visuals.

"Well, whatever. I'll just leave it here."

Louise had no idea what was circulating around his mind and decided to leave it as it was. Whether he wanted to communicate with her or not, Louise thought that it would be better if she left it and let it function at the right time.

Once she let go of her hand on the object, she proceeded to change her clothes.
