“Baby Rudy… … What do you want to do?”
“Heh heh, we got some help from him, so we should do what he says.”

McDowell said looking at Cromwell, who frowned.
“It is, but… … . It would be fine if Rudy had asked him to help him inherit the family, but he said he would help Ian.”
“You also have an idea, so why not ask for help? There must be some other reason, so I can’t speak.”
Originally, it was an academy that did not interfere with politics at all.
Whether it was the principal or a professor, he never touched the political part.
Such McDowell was now exerting influence in politics.
The imperial army searches for passage and baggage.

McDowell was positively in favor of this.
Despite Ian’s opinion, all the people around Rudy actively expressed their support.
“It’s like you’re asking other people as well as us.
“Hmm… … . Okay. For now, I’ll go back. Please take good care of Rudy Astria.”
“I see.”
Neither the academy’s vice-principal nor the principal can be absent for an extended period of time.
Cromwell was slowly preparing to return to the academy.
Cromwell packed some things and went outside, looking around.
“Spring seems to be coming soon.”
Buds began to fall on the tree, and green leaves were attached to it.
Slowly winter passed and spring was approaching.
The academy has a lot of work to do when spring comes.
Freshmen had to prepare for admission, and before that, there were graduation ceremonies for third graders.
“It’s going to be a lot of work.”
So Cromwell let out a sigh and tried to leave for the academy.
“Cromwell.”
Then I heard a voice from behind.
“… … Robert?”
Cromwell turned to see Robert wearing a hood.
“Why here… … . No, what about the sorcerers?”
Robert came over with a smile.
“The necromancers have been well taken care of.”
“Then why didn’t you contact me? No, do other people know?”
“No one knows. I’ve reported it to several places, but I’m hiding it for now because even Perian Astria can recognize it.”
“Right… … . But, why here… … . No, what have you done before that?”
It has been over a fortnight since Robert went to deal with the necromancers.
It couldn’t have taken that long to deal with the necromancers.
“I came to see my wife and son.”
wife and son.
That said, he said that he had visited the graveyard where the two of them were.
“ah… … .”
Cromwell didn’t ask any more.
Cromwell, a close friend of Robert, knew that Robert’s son was killed by necromancer magic.
After all, the Astrian Territory also existed near the cemetery, so I moved on.
“Would you like to go back together? I’m going to the academy now.”
“No, I’m here for work.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you have any more cigarettes than that?”
Cromwell looked suspiciously at Robert’s words.
Robert was a smoker in the past, but had stopped smoking after his son died.
“There is, though.”
“Then give it to me.”
Cromwell tilted his head and took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Robert.
“Why are you giving me only one cigarette?”
Robert grunted and took the pack of cigarettes from Cromwell’s opposite hand.
“I’ll borrow some.”
“… … What kind of idiot do you borrow?”
Cromwell clicked his tongue and put a cigarette to his lips.
“I am going now.”
“What… … ?”
Cromwell thought it was going to be a smoker because he took a cigarette, but Robert was already on his way to get there.
“See you at the academy. If you see me, buy me a drink.”
Cromwell looked at Robert’s back as he moved away and gave a puzzled expression on his face.
“Ts. I don’t mind.”
Cromwell sighed and lit a cigarette.
Then he just looked at the rising smoke.

“Why not?”
Considering Ian’s theory of space magic, I continued to use magic.
However, it was not used properly.
Theory is theory, practice is practice.
Even if I understood the theory to some extent, I couldn’t use it easily.
“Still, it’s better than when I first learned black magic.”
When I first learned black magic, I didn’t want to think about it again.
That time when I was suffering from a curse of every kind.
In comparison, space magic was relatively better.
Even if I failed, I wasn’t cursed or suffering.
The problem was that there was a time constraint.
It gave me a week.
Now there are 4 days left.
Three days passed, but no results were obtained.
It was the first time I felt so gloomy.
Actually, I learned from Ian for 3 days, but I have been studying space magic for over 2 months already.
A lot has happened in the meantime, but that’s just an excuse anyway.

Most of the time, this happened only for a day or two while I was studying.
So there was no time.
taken from noblemtl.com
Most of his time was spent learning space magic, and he put in enough effort.
Feeling so helpless, I could only think of one thing.
‘Talent’
I never thought about talent until now.
I’ve overcome everything with hard work.
That didn’t mean I wasn’t talented.
If I had talent, I could have come this far.
However, I was feeling a huge wall now.
I do not deny the existence of talent.
Obviously, there are differences between people due to various factors such as the environment in which they lived.
In my previous life, I gave up a lot because of this.
‘Cause I’m not talented
‘Cause I’m the one who can’t
But when he came to this world, his attitude changed.
Even if you don’t have talent, you can overcome it with effort.
When you start blaming talent, there is no further growth.
I thought so.
Now that I think about it, I wondered if I said that because I had talent.
I worked hard because I had talent, and I was able to say this because I have talent.
And now I seem to have hit a wall of talent.
There was a limit to my talent, and I wondered if that limit was right here and now.
Of course, in the future I saw, I used space magic.
However, if I asked if my future self would be exactly the same as I am now, I could not answer.
There are some similarities, but the me in that world and the me I am now are completely different people.
Because I had no idea what kind of environment I was going through in the future and how I lived.
“Rudy Astria.”
As I was exhaling like that, the maid came down to the study.
“A man named Robert is looking for Rudy.”
“… … Professor Robert?”
I opened my eyes wide.
There was no reason for Robert to be in the capital.
I quickly ran to the front of the mansion.
“professor?”
“A long time. Rudy.”
There really was Robert in front of the mansion.
“What’s going on here… … . More time now.”
It was already almost sunset time.
It’s past dinner time, and if you’re an early sleeper, it’s time to go to sleep.
Robert smiled as he pointed to the mansion and opened his mouth.
“Are you going to keep it here, or go inside?”
I made a bewildered expression and nodded my head.
“Ah, yes… … . Come in.”
I brought Robert into the mansion and led him to the study.
“Isn’t there a reception room in this mansion? What are you guiding me through this mess?”
“You don’t really care about this… … . My father was in the mansion, so he guided me here.”
I made sure no one was around and spoke quietly to Robert.
“Isn’t there a connection between the necromancers and Professor Robert?”
It was not good for the professor and father to meet face-to-face, so I was guided to the study.
“Was ‘the job’ better than that?”
‘That work’ was about the command wizards of the Astrian Territory.
I must have written a letter to Professor Robert.
Even if I hadn’t written it, Professor Robert would have known that it was the best chance to catch necromancers.
Robert touched my ear, meaning my question bothered him.
“It’s done. How are you studying magic these days?”
did that happen… … .
I was very curious about him, but once he answered the question.
“It is just that. Is it a slump? … . Did I hit the wall of talent? … .”
“A wall of talent? Fuhaha.”
As Robert said so, he burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing… … .”
“What is the wall of talent? You spit out words that don’t even sound like words.”
“Professor Robert, have you ever felt a wall like this?”
“Yes. No, a lot. I’ve lived a few years longer than you, and I felt it of course.”
“Then why are you smiling?”
“You know that’s not the wall of talent.”
I narrowed my brow and glared at Robert.
“Then what is this?”
“It’s just a process. process for everything. Have you ever experienced something like that? Before or after learning black magic from me.”
Before learning black magic from Robert… … .
It was evident that even then, the teeth were sharp enough.
He continued to try black magic to pass the test that Robert gave him.
At that time, it was essential to survive, so I really wanted to die and live again and again.
“But, isn’t it different now than it was then?”
“What is different?”
“It’s time to learn basic black magic, and now… … .”
space magic.
It is a space magic that really few people use.
I may not have the talent for this.
“Do you know how talented you are?”
“… … I do not know.”
“Then what’s the matter?”
“… … yes?”
“just do it. You’re either going to hit it or just do it.”
“no… … .”
“You don’t know how talented you are. No, everyone does. Are you going to hit me? Are you going to give up? No. If you’re going to continue, don’t dig, just do it. If that fails, think about it. why did you fail Was it the lack of time, or was it your lack of effort? Or maybe he really wasn’t talented.”
As Robert said that, he tapped my forehead.
“Think about it later. Now is the time to focus on what needs to be done.”
Having said that, Robert stood up.
“… … professor?”
“Are there any promises behind you?”
I widened my eyes at those words.
Looking at the time, it was soon time to go to the hut to meet Ian.
“How did you know?”
“You can see it just by looking at it. Then I go.”
“There is still time. A cup of tea… … .”
“What kind of car is it? When did I drink that?”
Robert snorted and walked out.
“her… … .”
He suddenly appeared and suddenly went away with an absurd expression on his face.
I used to be that kind of person, but it was a new feeling to see me after a long time.
Still, there was a smile on my lips.
It felt like I had found my way back.
“Master, please go.”
I said hello to Robert’s back as he went like that.
Robert walked out and raised his hands behind his back.
