311. Thinking of each other
***
“Anyway, I can say that I came at the right time. I could have missed the most important time.”
Even though Arya spoke with a small smile, I couldn’t relax.
‘There were side effects that I didn’t even know about.’
When I used the opening power, I felt my body creak.
As if I was forced to wear clothes that didn’t fit my body, I had too much power in my body, and somehow I tried to use that power to the end.
Because at that time I had no other options.
Even though I knew it was dangerous, I had to accept it.
“I almost missed the timing… Does the Mage Tower have a cure for my condition?”
Putting that confusion behind, I asked Ariya.
Looking at her reaction, I felt like she said that because there was some way.
“Treatment is not a very correct term. Leaking mana itself is neither a disease nor a cure. Hmm, what should I say about this to make it easier to understand… Yes, for example, you can say that you have a really small hole in your body. And it would be similar if we were in a state where mana continued to leak drop by drop through the hole.”
I came to understand my current condition after the words continued, but I heard Ariya’s voice even more frightening.
‘Once a hole is drilled….’
It felt like a hunch that more mana would escape through that hole.
“Actually, just because that amount of mana is leaking right now doesn’t mean it’s dangerous to health, it’s not like I’m normally aware of it. In that sense, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even if you don’t have the talent for mana, your senses are pretty great.”
In spite of the sudden compliment, I only let out an awkward laugh.
It was just… Coincidence.
Due to today’s sparring with Luna, I realized my shortcomings and what I needed the most, and I tried to fill that lack by gaining the affection of the girl who is now in front of me.
But I really don’t think it will make you realize the fatal condition….
“I’m glad.”
The voice of Sir Isabelle that came from beside her made her heart overcome.
“Yes… I will.”
I was so glad I came to see Ariya. She was feeling her sincere gratitude to her.
Instead of moving forward, I can block a situation where a fatal flaw will draw attention…….
“I’m glad…well, I’m really glad.”
“Arya-sama. What do you mean by that… ?”
“Agar. You have to visit me unconditionally every two days for the time being. So that I can deal with it too. That response isn’t too easy for you to accept, and I told you earlier, this isn’t strictly a cure, I’m just slowing you down so that your condition doesn’t get any worse than it is now.”
Ariya, who continued without much emotion, spoke as if it were nothing special at first glance.
But her nuance was very strange.
I inadvertently understood what the greatest meaning was in the words.
“…You mean you can’t completely stop the mana from leaking out?”
“Yes. An imbalance, once cracked, cannot be easily restored to its original state. You can’t fix it like the concept of healing wounds.”
At the words that followed, my breath leaked out in a daze.
‘How….’
Should I seduce Ariya?
Strangely, that was the biggest emotion that filled my heart.
Even now, she felt her gratitude, gratitude, and even relief from her. Because she thinks she’s lucky to have her.
And my heart was only pointing in one direction.
ㅡ[Mana Awakening]
The path I should take is displayed on the status window.
Now that I have a weakness related to mana that can’t be completely cured because I still lack mana….
The only one who could solve that was the girl right in front of me.
And mana awakening is now considered something essential to me. It wasn’t an option, it felt more desperate.
“Chunseong Han, why are you staring at me all of a sudden?”
“…No. I am just grateful.”
She said cautiously and shook her head.
She no longer had the mindset that she should approach her slowly, that she should close her distance.
I was in a hurry now.
‘And maybe….’
I didn’t even know that another opportunity had come to me.
I need to be more aggressive with her, and now she’s reaching out her hand to me.
Because she gave me a reason to meet her often.
…I felt like everything depended on my future actions.
***
A night steeped in darkness.
The sight of the night sky seen from a space high enough to see the clouds in the sky made me feel an extremely transcendent sensibility.
Even for Isabelle, it seemed to steal her attention because it was the first sight she had ever seen.
“……”
At that time, she realized that the space where the lord of the Magic Tower resides has such high authority, and it is not a space that she can easily enter.
A glance.
Turning her head away from the scenery outside her window, Isabelle caught sight of the two people in the center of her office, bathed in bright light.
The scene was quite mysterious.
A huge feast of mana. The majestic yet overwhelming presence of Ariya made even the golden knight himself feel intimidated.
‘It’s really amazing… No, it’s mana that I can’t understand.’
It was really overwhelming.
To the extent that I wondered if I was really human, the mana far out of the ordinary, the presence of dense mana made my body feel tense.
At the same time, while feeling such awe lingered, rumors about the Ariya Magic Tower also naturally came to mind.
Rumors abound that she does not bend in the face of the emperor of her empire, that her unruly behavior harms many of her, or that her various nobles have been greatly disgraced by her. Did.
Compared to her generally high reputation and overwhelming status, her reputation itself was not very good. Even if you meet her, the word that you should be careful with her is openly floating around among the nobles.
However, my feeling of her actually facing her was not at all like that.
She had a dignified atmosphere that made her rational and graceful. She also felt her self-confidence and her attitude, such as her arrogance, for granted, so there was no sense of incongruity in her.
Her power was so overwhelming that it was believed that if she reached the same level as her, she would have no choice but to show that attitude.
And the reason was simple.
‘That’s right….’
Now I can see it in my eyes.
The figure of Han Chun-seong, who is sweating coldly with a painful expression as if feeling pain, and Ariya Mataju, who is injecting mana with his hand on his back, had a strange atmosphere enough to feel reverence.
I think I mentioned that it wasn’t a cure with words. I knew what a huge favor she was doing me now.
‘Anyone who can do that kind of goodwill to someone….’
To me, he didn’t seem like a very bad-tempered person.
-!
Even now, colorful light bursts from her and continues through her hands. Even though a series of situations continued while completely embracing the new type of Han Chun-seong.
I just looked at it.
A special act in which the Master of the Magic Tower directly expresses his own mana. And a man named Han Chun-seong who endured it silently…….
Then, naturally, another thought came to my mind.
‘Replacement.’
What the hell is this man?
How did he establish a relationship with the lord of the Magic Tower, and how could he receive favors from her like mine? The more time we spent together, the more curious about the man named Han Chun-seong grew in my heart.
The day I first met this man. I thought he was a nicer man than I thought.
And as time passed, the evaluation of him continued to rise.
To the extent that I understand why the imperial family wanted to escort this person even while blowing their breath on the imperial family.
As if influenced by his upright mind and outstanding talent, I no longer had any objection to this escort.
‘Because it’s worth protecting.’
To the extent that a golden knight who is supposed to protect the imperial family understands even protecting the common people. There was something about this man I didn’t know.
“Haa… ….”
Then, along with the heavy breathing, the splendid light began to disappear.
The time that followed was not that long.
Less than 10 minutes.
“Sir Isabelle.”
“Yes. Ariya, Master of the Tower.”
“Now, stop taking Han Chun-seong back.”
I blinked blankly at the words that followed.
After giving Han Chun-seong a glance, he belatedly nodded.
“…I understand.”
Chuck.
I was a little surprised as I moved on.
I knew that Han Chun-seong’s voice, which had been moaning in pain, had suddenly become inaudible. I thought it was tolerating the pain well, but the reality was different.
Sureuk.
I was genuinely surprised when I gently lifted Han Chun-seong, who had lost consciousness while sitting.
‘Is it possible to lose consciousness like this?’
It didn’t feel like I was losing consciousness because I couldn’t stand the pain.
I know how to lose consciousness usually because I’ve actually seen such cases a few times.
‘Maybe.’
Ariya must have succeeded in enduring the mana injected by the magic tower master. However, it was understandable to see that he lost consciousness as soon as he was freed from the pain.
Slowly… ….
While preparing to return to the academy, I inadvertently looked at it.
Compared to Han Chun-seong, who was drenched in a cold sweat and greatly disturbed, there was not the slightest discoloration in his complexion, and there was not the slightest sign of hardship to speak of.
I didn’t even know that was natural.
I can’t even imagine her true face now.
“Lord of the Magic Tower. Is there anything I should be wary of?”
“Well, you have to be careful….”
The moment I looked at her as if she was thinking for a while.
“I will probably have a hard time for a while, so please support me so that I will not weaken. In many ways, it is too much of a talent to leave it like this.”
She nodded her head a little at the way she spoke strangely, but she understood her meaning itself.
“Yes. I will.”
The words themselves don’t sound warm, but it was clear that she cared quite a bit.
‘It’s definitely different from her point of view.’
Even in the eyes of the owner of the Magic Tower, there was something about this man that I didn’t know.
Super seduction at work again
