2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 15

Friends-4

[Father-in-law!! Give me your daughter!!]

<Shut up, aria is not a thing, so don’t use such expressions.>

Still, my head feels dizzy and I feel like I’m about to break, but that old man exhales like a breath. If it weren’t for the ghost, he would have punched him in the face with a bat and stitched his mouth with swelling.

“…that question is too broad. What does that mean specifically?”

First of all, I ask honestly and rationally. This was probably a test to confirm Leo himself, so he had to calmly, calmly, and solve it.

“Well, what do you think it means? Leonardo-kun.”

It is also strong They don’t even allow you to look at the liver.

then,

“I think Ariaspil-sama cannot be expressed in one sentence.”

I have no choice but to go with the correct method.

“Oh, is that so?”

At the flexible and honest answer, Gladio smiled a little.

“Then would you like a summary?”

“I can say it’s cheeky, but Ariaspil-sama…”

To answer sincerely, that was the only answer.

“It’s my goal.”

Everyone who was eating stopped at that answer. He didn’t just stop talking, he stopped eating, even blinking.

I did just that. As it sounds, it could also mean that my goal is to break your daughter.

“…what does that mean?”

When it comes out like this, it gets a little playful.

“Well, what do you think it means? Lord?”

“…hhhh!!”

When he asked such a provocative question, Ga-ju began to laugh out loud. Now, whenever I see someone smiling, I get goosebumps all over my body.

[Why do you make everyone you talk manic?]

<That’s right. How can I become my seller…>

Leo looked at Gladio, who was smiling as he reflected on his strange life twisted into a joke.

The reason for fixing the gaze was that it was necessary to give first aid directly if breathing difficulties occurred in the middle.

“Ha… it was a fun meal. Everyone seems to have finished eating, so let’s get up first.”

Quiet the laughter, Gladio got up from his seat. When Ga-ju woke up, the other members of the family also got up from the dinner table.

[It looked delicious… How was the taste?]

The meal was certainly tasty enough to make you dehydrated with saliva. To describe such a meal as tasteless would be the same as having no taste.

<I don’t know. I don’t know if it goes through the nose or the eyes… More than that…>

I wish this meal wasn’t just the Last Supper.

***

【What do you think of my daughter?】

When these words came out, Ariaspil, like Leo, also stopped thinking.

Who was your daughter? Was there one more father and daughter here? If not…

Because it was a question about yourself.

My pupils are trembling, and I feel like my throat is choking on the food I eat. Even if he barely swallowed food, he couldn’t continue eating.

More worrying than that was Leonardo’s answer.

I was kind of resentful of my father. Where is the need to ask such a damn strange question?

But on the other hand…

‘…what would you say?’

I was very curious about Leonardo’s answer. He bowed his head as much as possible, pretending not to be interested, and watching the conversation. It was a bonus to have her slightly red-tinted ears wide open.

And the answer that came out was,

【Ariaspil-sama is my goal.】

The answer succeeded in making the heat in the ear go beyond the pinna and color the entire face red.

‘target…!?’

What does goal mean? A simple rival? Or a number? Or not…

The more I thought about it, the hotter the cheeks and cheeks became.

Like my father’s first question, I could interpret it in various ways,

Gradually, his face turned red.

Arya, unable to contain her excitement, opened her ears to hear more specific explanations, but

【Well, what do you think it means? Lord?]

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what it means.

But why?

‘Ugh…’

His flushed face showed no sign of cooling. Rather, the meaning of the vague words seemed to fuel the girl’s emotions.

It doesn’t seem like her night will be very comfortable tonight… No, she won’t.

after that supper

Leo was sitting on the chair facing the wise man. The sage in front was continuing the class with an enthusiastic expression on his face.

“Ham…”

[So that’s how it came to be…]

“Ahhh…”

[The basics of magic are…]

“Kah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah—-!”

[Oh shut up!]

As the series of yawns got longer and longer, even the sage became angry.

“Ahhh…”

<Sorry.>

With a languid yawn, he answered with Leo’s aura.

[Apologizing and apologizing at the same time is a skill.]

“Ahhh…!”

<You are exaggerating.>

The mysterious technique approached the sage’s facial muscles just before they were distorted.

[I’m sarcastic. baby And you’re still yawning.]

<But it can’t be helped. It’s 3 am right now.>

The current time is exactly 3:02 in the morning, and we were suddenly having a conversation on such an ambitious night, and I couldn’t stand the yawn.

[Still. It is said that anyone who receives these teachings will keep their eyes wide open and their ears wide open. You don’t know how valuable this is as a wizard.]

Certainly, it was difficult for Leo to gauge how supreme the sage’s teachings were.

It was because I had little interest in magic from the beginning because I understood the class and left the school.

<Then let’s try not to do that. ha ha ha…>

[Hey baby. You just yawned with an auror.]

Oh, I heard it.

[Ha… Why do you have such a child as your successor…]

<This is the heir chosen by the sage. Stay strong with evil.>

[Will you beat me with evil?]

<I hate that.>

It was impossible for them to attack each other because they were ghosts anyway, but hating them was something they didn’t like.

[Then shut up and go to class.]

<I try.>

The wise man coughed and continued the interrupted class.

[So, do you remember what I said about the basics of magic?]

<…>

[Answer this. bastard.]

<You said magic circle.>

The wise man lowered his voice and nodded, as it was a cool answer even for an uncool disciple.

[Yes, the basics of magic are magic circles. Like a chant or a beastman, it’s only the assistive technology that came later.]

<Then, if you have a magic circle, you don’t need a chant or beast?>

[If you have a technique, if you lack it, you have to make up for it first.]

In terms of martial arts, it could be set as a kind of preparation process or posture. When I thought about it that way, it became a little easier to understand.

[If you put it that way, you’re on the good side. It’s not easy to learn circle 1 magic within a week.]

<How many times did the wise man succeed?>

[me? Right away.]

It’s a new surprise, but there are many bizarre geniuses in the world.

[I’m not discouraged. That’s good enough.]

<Comfort hurts.>

[Anyway, now that you’ve learned Circle 1, what should I do?]

<Well. Shouldn’t I be better at Circle 1?>

[…Five…]

At Leo’s reply, the sage gave a brief admiration.

<…why? Is there any wrong answer?>

[Unlike how you look, ssaksu is really good.]

The technique of praising and swearing like that at the same time was astonishing even now.

[Honestly, I thought I was going to hang out in 2nd circle like other assholes. It’s really surprising.]

<There is nothing surprising. There is nothing more important than the basics of learning.>

[…that is surprising.]

Curse and praise were united in one word, so a more strange feeling could not be shaken.

Now, instead of being uncomfortable, it was even wonderful.

[Anyway, as you said. It’s better to focus on circle 1 than to learn circle 2 clumsily now. There is no need to rush to the advanced stage.]

<Then should I practice circle 1 magic?>

[That is also a method, but now I have a training method that I have in mind.]

Mana began to condense around the sage again. It was similar to when I first taught him how to practice mana.

[hot!]

The mana that was condensed with the spirit began to weave in the form of a line. The line that was connected like a stem was connected to a curve, and it was soon drawn into a circle.

[…Now, here…]

Inside that circle, another circle was drawn again with a thin distance. As the work of drawing the circle was repeated over and over again, the empty circle was completely filled as if it had been painted.

[With this feeling, you can keep drawing circles in the circle with mana.]

<Is it necessary to be that dense?>

[You have to do this to improve your skills. In my time, if the teacher tells me to, I will be burial…]

<aam.>

It was a very sleepy day to keep my eyes wide open and my ears wide open to listen to the story.

***

Drawing the circle itself wasn’t that difficult. If it wasn’t for this skill in the first place, the fire magic wouldn’t even have been activated when fighting the Balrog.

the problem is…

“Ugh…!”

It was a process of refilling the inside with a circle.

[Why are you moaning like this? Just give your head strength! Catch the optic nerve!]

“Oh, shut up. I can’t concentrate.”

At the same time as you speak, the lines are blurred. Infusing mana again, Leo fixed the center of the line.

[What dude? Man, I did it right without a body! These days things are such a problem… without even trying…]

“It must be because I put a wise man’s stone in my heart. Like a parasite.”

[What…what? helminth?]

“Isn’t that a parasite? After all, it is because of my magic that I am now returning to being a ghost.”

Perhaps it was the aftermath of the return, but it was later revealed that there was not a handful of the magic that the sage had stored in the wise man’s stone in Leo’s heart.

Of course, the magic and thoughts that were stored in the form of magic remained, so we could have a conversation like this, but if Leo runs out of mana, the Philosopher’s Stone will also stop working.

[Hey…! You don’t know that I’m saving your life!?]

“Yes, you saved him and he was a ‘gisaeng’.”

[If that’s the case, I’d rather pull it out of my heart!]

“Hey, how do you do that creepy thing? I’m afraid I can’t stand it.”

[hahahaha… Damn it… Why is he like this…]

While I was filling in a total of 5 circles,

smart

Someone knocked on the door. It was clear that time had passed, but it was still midnight.

[Who are you? Tonight?]

“I do not know.”

Leo stopped drawing circles and walked towards the door.

“who are you?”

Before opening the door, Leo looked over the doorhole and asked carefully.

“I’m sorry for being late, but I have something to tell you about my motives. Can we talk right now?”

What appeared through the hole was something like a white wall. After checking it several times, I found out that it was a human body.

Leo opened the door without any doubt because the voice was also a familiar tone he had heard before.

“Thank you.”

The one who came in was a giant man. He came into the room boasting of his massive muscles that he believed he was a full-time knight, not an apprentice knight.

“Sorry for coming in late at night.”

“It must be that important.”

“Yes.”

With a short answer, he sat down on a chair.

[What? who?]

Seeing such a strange apprenticeship article, the sage asked with a frown.

<This is my senior.>

“The introduction is late.”

Following what Leo said, Leo’s senior started introducing himself.

“My name is Alphonse Armstrong, an apprentice knight and your senior in relationship.”

“hello. Seniors.”

Alphonse Armstrong, a person whom he had a relationship with in his previous life, was as reliable as his muscles as a senior as well as a comrade.

[Why is he coming at this hour? Even with men.]

<Don’t worry, you’re a good person. Even in a previous life…>

“Don’t say it outright. It would be better to stop seeding.”

……

………

[A good person.]
