“Dad!!! Look at this!!”
“Well?”
“I can use magic!!!”
“you?”
So many years have passed.
Lickard had grown up and was already over ten years old.
“Look at this! Fireball!”
Then, a fire broke out in Likkard’s hand.
Robert’s eyes widened.
It was uncommon for a 10-year-old to use magic.
There, Robert had never taught Lickerd magic.
“How do you… … .”
“I learned from the book on my dad’s desk!”
“table?”
taken from noblemtl.com
Magic taught by self-study.
Robert remembered his childhood.
He also learned magic by self-taught.
When Robert didn’t say anything, Richard’s expression darkened.
It bothered me that I touched the desk without my father’s knowledge.
“that… … Touching my dad’s desk… … .”
When Lickard tries to apologize to Robert like that.
“Lickard, you are a genius!”
Robert smiled brightly and patted Lickard’s head.
Lickard smiled broadly at Robert’s praise.
“yes! I am a genius!”
“Still, you shouldn’t touch Daddy’s desk carelessly. Because there are a lot of dangerous things.”
“yes! Okay!”
After saying that, Robert stood up.
Now it was time for Richard to sleep.
Lickard lay on the bed, covered the duvet, and opened his mouth.
“Dad, I will be your disciple when I grow up.”
“student?”
“yes! I want to be a wizard like my dad.”
“I don’t think it’s a very good idea… … .”
The magic that Robert uses is black magic.
The perception of black magic was not so good in the world.
Still, although Levian changed that perception a lot, even so, the perception could not be changed overnight.
“I’m going to be a wizard like my dad!”
“… … Okay, let’s go talk about it later.”
For a moment, Robert faltered.
‘Because I’m still young. I’ll have to go back later and pray that I change my mind.’
“Then go to sleep now.”
“Yeah, sleep well, Dad.”
So Robert put Lickerd to sleep and walked down to the basement of the mansion.
“Now it’s almost over.”
resurrection magic.
Research on it was coming to an end.
In fact, the study of magic itself was over, but there was not enough mana to put into it.
“How much mana stones should I use… … .”
No matter how expensive the mana stones were, the magic did not activate.
The magic only devoured the mana stones greedily, and nothing changed.
“… … ha.”
Robert sighed and continued his research.
so the next day.
thump-
Robert nodded and banged his head on the desk.
Seeing such Robert’s condition, Levian put on a worried expression.
“Robert, you look very bad these days.”
“ah… … .”
He continued to study necromantic magic at night and conducted research as an imperial mage during the day, so there was no way he was going to be okay.
Levian was watching Robert like that all the time.
“Robert, come with me for a moment.”
“All right.”
Levin took Robert out and smoked a cigarette.
Then Robert took a cigarette out of his pocket.
“Didn’t you tell Lickard that you quit smoking?”
“How do you quit in one day?”
“Isn’t that a promise you made with your son?”
“That’s why I don’t bloom in front of him.”
“okay… … . By the way, what the hell are you doing these days?”
“yes?”
“There are a lot of stories about this and that. I hear you are coming to Epomos more often.”
At that, Robert hardened his expression.
“Robert, I know what you are doing.”
Levin sighed as he said that.
“I know that you miss Elena very well. However, you mustn’t touch the magic of spirits. Think about why the Empire banned necromancy. That magic is not magic that creates miracles, it is magic that goes against the laws of the world.”
“I know.”
“I think you’ll be fine.”
After saying that, Levian went into the tower alone.
Robert looked at Levin’s back and spoke quietly.
“sorry. Master.”
He bowed his head in the direction Levian had disappeared.
Robert extinguished the cigarette and entered the tower.
“Are you on vacation?”
“Uh, I’m going on vacation for a while.”
“uh… … . Well… … .”
“I have a lot of vacation left. Just write it down.”
“All right… … . By the way, speaking to Levin… … .”
“done. I will take care of that.”
“… … All right.”
With that said, Robert headed for Epomos.
“The research is almost done. But, why not? It has to be the theory.”
“You don’t even know Robert. Because there is not enough mana to go into it.”
“Lack of mana? Are you using the highest quality mana stones?”
“… … Would human life be equal to mana stones?”
“Then what should I do?”
The necromancer patted his chin and stood up.
“ha… … . Okay. Let us give you our treasure. I’m giving it to you because you helped me with my research.”
“… … treasure?”
Then the necromancer opened the safe on the side of the lab.
“This is a mana stone.”
A mana stone containing powerful mana.
It contained a huge amount of mana that surpassed the finest mana stones.
“… … Where did this come from?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
“… … .”
Robert stared at the necromancer.
“Well, you can’t look at it that way. Say that and I will die!”
“i get it. Don’t ask, I’ll just give it to you.”
Robert accepted the mana stones given to him by the necromancer.
“Then let me come back later.”
“Yes, please be careful.”
Robert returned to the mansion looking at the mana stones handed over by the necromancer.
“Dad?”
Then, when Richard saw Robert’s appearance, his eyes widened.
Originally, this was not the time for Robert to return.
Rikkard was delighted with a bewildered expression on his face.
“Dad! What happened? Now is the time… … .”
Robert laughed at this.
“Rickard, Daddy took a vacation.”
“really? So are you going to play with me?”
Robert hesitated for a moment.
He touched the mana stones he had put in his pocket.
However, Robert swallowed his heart.
“Okay, let’s play hard today!”
“really!”
“Okay, then what are we going to do?”
So Robert began to play hard with Lickerd.
They ran around until the sun went down, and as evening came, Lickerd’s eyes began to close.
“Richard, are you going to sleep now?”
“Yes… … . I want to play with my dad a little more… … .”
“Dad took a long vacation, so there is tomorrow. So let’s play again tomorrow.”
“really?”
“really.”
Rikkard then ran downstairs into the bedroom.
As he entered the room, Lickard poked his face out the door.
“Then I’ll go to bed early and play with my dad tomorrow morning.”
Robert laughed at this.
“Okay then, let’s play hard from tomorrow morning.”
“yes! Good night Dad.”
Robert smiled as he saw Lickard entering the bedroom, then hardened his expression.
“ha… … .”
Robert put his hand in his pocket and looked at the mana stone he had just received.
So Robert headed to the basement of the mansion.
A huge magic circle beneath the mansion.
It was the result of Robert’s research.
“please… … . Elena… … .”
Robert placed the mana stones he brought into the center of the magic circle.
Then the magic circle began to emit a strong light.
The magic circle that did not move even after bringing the highest quality mana stones finally moved.
“ah… … .”
As Robert saw the moving magic circle, tears flowed.
Finally, Elena… … . Elena’s face again… … .
But things did not go so easily.
Kugugu Palace
“… … what?”
The magic circle, which was running well, suddenly started to cause a great vibration.
Robert felt strange and grabbed the wall.
A strong pressure is felt in the magic circle.
Suddenly, a black object begins to emerge from within.
The object looked like an arm.
And a huge mouth that comes out.
His arms began to grab objects around him.
He picks up objects from desks, chairs, and magic tools, and puts them in the mouth-shaped part.
“What is this… … .”
Robert was astonished.
A magic circle that suddenly begins to devour everything.
It was hard to figure out what was going on.
Then a black arm approached Robert as well.
“Ugh… … Behemoth!!!”
“Boo!”
Robert quickly summoned the Behemoth and cut off the arm that was holding him.
‘You have to stop.’
Anyway, something was strange.
Obviously, even with the theory going on, what happened was so strange.
“Ugh… … . have to stop… … .”
Robert responded to the arm as much as possible with black magic.
However, he did not know how to stop the magic.
‘… … You just have to break it.’
This was not the time to think about research material or anything else.
The mansion that left this magic alone… … If you do it wrong, even Likkard becomes dangerous.
Robert poured as much mana as he could to break the magic circle.
when you’re so focused.
“… … Dad?”
“ah… … .”
Lickerd was seen from the door.
“what’s this… … ?”
“Lickard! Can not be done! escape… … !”
Then a black arm grabbed Lickerd.
“ah… … .”
Robert exclaimed.
I have to cut off that arm.
Richard is… … Richard is… … .
“Those who reject the will of God… … .”
Robert only thought of destroying the magic circle.
“Descent.”
Then a black object appeared behind Robert.
Devil.
He summoned a demon into his body.
“Lickerd… … keep it… … .”
“Dad!!!!!”
The black arm tried to devour Likkard, and the demon summoned behind Robert tried to stop it.
The magic circle put Lickerd in its mouth, and the devil put his arm in the magic circle as it was.
Then a strong light came out.
aan!!!!
With a big explosion, the black object slowly disappeared, and Robert rushed to the center of the magic circle.
“Lickard! Lickard!”
Robert took a deep breath and looked for Lickerd in the explosion.
Then a cry was heard from the center of the magic circle.
“Dad… … . hurt… … . hurt… … .”
It was Lickard, who was screaming in pain.
Robert ran in front of him.
I could see Lickerd, who had been severely wounded.
“Lickard… … . it’s okay… … . It will be fine… … .”
“Dad… … . I’m so sick… … .”
Robert burst into tears as Lickard complained of pain.
“sorry. sorry… … . Sorry.”
“sorry… … ? Why are you sorry daddy? … . Dad, don’t cry… … .”
Rickard said to Robert with tears in his eyes.
“Dad… … . cry… … . Do not cry… … . ah… … .”
“Lee, Richard. Mind, you have to be mindful. Lee, Richard.”
Robert shouted at the swallowing Lickerd.
But.
“… … .”
Rikkard said nothing more.
“ah… … . Lee, Richard… … . Lickard… … .”
bang!
As I cried out Rikkard’s name, a man came in from behind.
“Robert! What is this? What kind of vibration is this… … .”
It was Levin.
Levin yelled at Robert and looked at Lickerd in his arms.
“… … Robert. what the hell have you done!!! Robert!!!!!!”
Levin yelled at Robert.
“Didn’t I clearly tell you not to do it!! Spirit Magic!!!!! Spirit magic is definitely there!”
Robert looked back.
“S, Master… … .”
At this, Levin said with an angry face.
“No, you are no longer my disciple.”
Then the soldiers came in behind Levian.
“What the hell is going on! this… … .”
The soldiers looked around and asked Levian.
“Catch him.”
“yes? That’s the Imperial Magician… … .”
“Now he is no longer an imperial wizard.”
Levin looked at Robert with bloody eyes.
“I’m just a criminal who used necromantic magic.”
Levin took Lickerd from his hand and took Robert away.
That was the last look Robert saw of Levin.
***
Robert was captured in the dungeon.
Then one day.
Robert was able to get out of the dungeon.
“… … What is it?”
“This is the name of His Majesty the Emperor. Since you have done so much to the Empire, I will release you, but I will also confiscate the name of the Imperial Mage and the name of the honorary title given to me by the Empire. Instead, I will give you freedom, so tell me to make atonement and live.”
“freedom… … ?”
The soldiers then threw Robert outside and went back to the dungeon.
“… … .”
Robert looked up at the sky.
I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do.
Elena died, Likkard died, and was abandoned by Levian.
He wandered the battlefield without thinking.
just to live No, he just repeated the fight to forget what he had done.
Then one day, after the battle, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.
Robert stared at the cigarette and packed it.
what the hell are you doing… … . what the hell is this… … . had doubts
“What the hell are you doing? Robert.”
A voice was heard.
Robert looked up at the wrapped cigarette and looked up.
Then a middle-aged man appeared.
He was obviously old and wrinkled, but he knew who he was.
“Cromwell… … .”
“What the hell are you doing? Robert.”
“I… … .”
Pak!
Cromwell clenched his fist and slapped Robert in the face.
Robert sat down on the floor and looked at Cromwell.
“Is this what you wanted? Is this what Elena wanted? Do you think Lickard would have wanted to see something like this? Calm down, Robert.”
“Cromwell… … .”
“Isn’t it time to calm down? It’s already been 5 years. It’s been five years since Richard died. Yet anyway.”
“I… … I do not know. Now I know what to do. what i want I… … I… … .”
Cromwell looked at Robert like that.
Then he held out his hand.
“Come to the academy.”
“What?”
Robert made an absurd expression.
“Come to the academy.”
“What nonsense… … .”
“I also got permission from Principal McDowell. So don’t gossip and come. to the academy.”
Robert was dragged by Cromwell to the academy.
That’s how he got a professorship at the academy.
Robert did his job even by seeing the face of Cromwell who had brought him.
Even if I thought of a job or felt strange, I just did my job.
That’s how I was teaching for a few years.
Robert met Rudy.
***

Mana stones about to explode.
Benderwood far away.
Rudy was sitting there without any strength.
Robert looked around them.
He has already seen this situation.
‘I showed you both the past and the future. So what are your choices now?’
These were the words I heard from Saint Haruna.
She showed herself past and future.
In the past, he sent his wife away with tears.
I sent my son away with a cry.
He sent the master away without a word.
Robert was a bad husband.
he was a bad father
was a bad boy
“Rudy.”
nevertheless.
at least.
“You were my best disciple.”
He wanted to be the best teacher.
“school… … sir?”
Robert walked forward.
Behind him came a demon.
Robert said to the devil.
“Remove this mana stone.”
“What’s the price?”
“life.”
“Confirmed.”
Rudy’s eyes widened.
“School, Professor?”
Rudy got up and tried to run to Robert.
Robert turned his head slightly to look at Rudy.
Robert had the brightest smile ever.
“Be well. Rudy.”
