While practicing magic with his brothers, Leo often felt it.
“Certainly, the older brother and older sister are geniuses.”
Now only 13 and 14 year old kids.
Of course, because he was a royal family, he ate well and grew up, so his body development has grown to the level of an adult.
However, in Leo’s eyes, they still felt like babies.
However, it wasn’t like a baby during magic training.
Frighteningly talented wizards!
They were already on the verge of reaching the 4th class.
As Leo expected… I wondered if I would cross the wall within the next month.
“Other wizards might want to kill you when they see you.”
If it were Jung Hyeon-seong of South Korea instead of today’s Leo, he would have felt tremendous jealousy towards the two.
Of course, it was absurd from Alice and Kizan’s point of view.
“Hey. Is that what you mean?”
“right. If other wizards see us and want to kill us, what about you?”
It was true that Alice and Kizan had great talent.
Even compared to the wizards of the Roman kingdom of the past. No, compared to the wizards from the Empire, it was amazing.
Even Countess Ermeri, who was immediately called the next star of the empire, was falling behind the two of them in her same age.
But, fireflies in front of the sun.
The moment Leo was brought to it, comparison became impossible.
“Hey brother. Will you answer me?”
Elise put her arm around Leo’s shoulder.
She smiled mischievously and nudged Leo on the cheek.
“What will other wizards say when they see you? yes?”
“What do you say?”
Leo shrugged, removing her arm.
“They just think I’m from another world.”
“Wow… Unlucky, you really are.”
“Is this your first time seeing a genius?”
“Can’t I just hit one?”
“no. If your sister hits you, you could lie down sick for a week.”
Leo moved to avoid Ellis who was shaking his fist.
Although the body traits were gone, Leo was still weak and weak.
On the other hand, Ellis and Kizan were magicians, but they had been steadily practicing the secret body training method of the royal family.
If that kind of Alice hits herself… .
‘If I’m going to brag in the future, I’ll have to prepare a potion first.’
Leo chuckled.

Prince Bahelm’s underground magic tower.
Originally, it was a place to stay as if he was living alone.
It was a very large space with a deep hole in the basement, but it was a quiet place every day because there were no other people.
In such a place, two people began to come and go every day.
It was the fairy queen Vivian and Leo.
Among them, Vivian almost lived here.
“So you are saying that dimension has something to do with space? Only the coordinate system is special.”
“right. Theoretically, it’s not too different from the space movement magic you use.”
“How do you get the coordinate system of another dimension?”
“You have to feel it. As if making a contract with a spirit, you should feel another dimension.”
Vivian frowned at Bahelm’s words.
“I can’t feel anything.”
“Queen, you may have a hard time. Because of their nature as fairies, they must have lower dimensional affinity than humans.”
Vivian, a master of space magic, and Bahelm, a dimensional mage.
The two had a lot of overlap.
That’s why they studied and discussed magic day and night.
Vivian slightly opened up the abilities unique to the fairies and the space magic passed down only to the queen, and Bahelm Bahelm told her about her dimensional magic.
The synergy was amazing.
Vivian was also at the level of the 7th class, so the two had a lot in common.
Lord Bahelm laughed.
“Whoops. There hasn’t been a day as enjoyable as today in the past few decades. I am very proud of the feeling of improving my skills.”
Thanks to Vivian, the stagnant state was gradually growing.
If someone like Prince Bahelm continues to grow like that, if you’re lucky, you’ll even jump over a wall in the blink of an eye.
The realm of the archmage, which he had longed for even in his dreams, was not far off.
For that reason, Prince Bahelm looked at Leo with eyes full of good feelings.
Because it was Prince Leo who brought Vivian.
“yes. Prince Leo. Is the training going well?”
“Um… . It is difficult.”
Leo frowned.
Every afternoon and late at night, Leo accompanied them in their magic research and training.
With two 7th class mages. If other wizards had heard of it, they would have wanted to come in even at the cost of a thousand gold.
In fact, Leo also personally felt that his skills were rapidly improving with each passing day.
The effect of the elixir of growth. The dragon’s knowledge that is being gradually melted and embodied in the head.
On top of that, the advice that Prince Bahelm and Vivian gave once in a while was like sweetened water.
However, since yesterday, there has been no progress as if blocked by a wall.
“I really think I can go a little further, but I can’t do that… It’s frustrating.”
“I understand your heart. Because it happened to me when I was young.”
Prince Bahelm was much older than he looked because he had achieved immortality through a secret method from another dimension.
“Well, of course, when I was young, I wouldn’t be able to reach your toes.”
“You lift me up too much.”
“No way. I am only speaking the obvious truth.”
Lord Bahelm shrugged.
“At the age of 12, looking at the level of the 6th class? Even if it is the reincarnation of a dragon, I honestly believe it.”
It’s not a dragon, it’s an Earth gamer’s possession, right?
Leo laughed at the thought that suddenly popped into his head.
“I was lucky.”
It is true.
It hasn’t been a year since Leo reached the 5th rank in the fairy forest.
However, in the meantime, the stage of the 6th rank was already in front of me.
It was impossible no matter how great Leo’s talent was.
The elixir of growth, the knowledge of dragons, and the things I learned about Bahelm. This was possible because of a combination of several reasons.
“I would like to give you more advice, but if you misunderstood other people’s advice at that level, it could be poisonous. You’d better find out for yourself based on what I’ve told you so far.”
“All right.”
“Don’t be in too much of a hurry. An ordinary wizard could waste decades in that stalemate, but it won’t take you that long.”
“You mean you have to take your time.”
“right.”
Even at Bahelm’s words, Leo’s face did not improve.
The most important thing to him now was time.
‘Because I have to see the end of magic within the next 8 years, and even if that’s not the case, I have to meet the former Warchief of the Lycanthrope in a few months.’
I had to raise my level as soon as possible.
At that time, Prince Bahelm, who had been staring at Leo, suddenly said,
“From what I can see, the peace has been too long for us.”
“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Three hundred years ago there were five heroes. Each and every one of them was strong enough to be an archmage. But what about now?”
“… … .”
“It seems that you are so absorbed in peace that you forgot development. There is no sign of a new 7th class mage or grand master after me.”
Heroes who ended the Great War.
Thanks to this, an era of peace that can be said to be the greatest in human history has arrived, but it seems that the sense of crisis has disappeared because of that.
“If war breaks out again like this, humans will be horribly defeated.”
Those were Bahelm’s words full of confidence.
Bahelm was the guardian of the Empire and stood tall as a 7th class mage, but on the Abyss side, there were 7 monsters of a similar level.
If it had not been for the peace treaty signed 300 years ago, war would have broken out long ago, and humanity would have collapsed.
And Leo agreed with him too.
‘If you actually follow the story of the game, a war will break out, and humanity will almost be ruined in the beginning.’
At that time, the player had to unite and protect humanity well.
In the meantime, NPCs like Ellis and Countess Ermeri are helpful as they awaken to the 7th class.
“But seeing you eases my worries a little.”
Lord Bahelm smiled lightly.
How pitiful he had been until now that there were no wizards who could be called his juniors.
At least Countess Ermeri had some expectations.
That is until she lost her husband in death and dabbled in blood magic.
However, it was regrettable that he was gradually going down a different path, but at some point he became normal again and it was fun to see that Leo, the pillar of the future, appeared.
Prince Bahelm seemed to be excited.
“Queen. go back to research If I can understand a little bit of the space magic that you spread like breathing, I think I can improve quite a bit.”
“okay.”
Vivian again began a heated discussion with Prince Bahelm.
Leo looked at those two and thought.
‘I’d like to introduce you to Lord Verdict later.’
If Verdict Ryant, who has returned to the wilderness as a wandering wizard, joins in with him, maybe he will rise to the level of a 7th-class wizard again?
* * *
It was a busy day with training, but Leo couldn’t just cover everything up and immerse himself in training.
Recognized by the emperor, he made connections with various nobles of the empire.
I couldn’t neglect this type of network management because I didn’t know what would happen later.
– Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag
Leo let out a light sigh as they rode in the carriage.
‘I’m tired.’
I only slept for 2 hours yesterday.
Training and work both require stamina.
Of course, it was difficult for Leo, who had poor stamina.
At least he was able to hold on thanks to his ridiculous mental strength, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
‘It’s fortunate that Gawain handles all the guild-related tasks instead.’
As the Gawain Information Guild delivered goods to the auction house in the dark, the size of the guild grew enormously.
Because he had Leo, who was protected by the imperial family, as his back, he was rapidly growing even within the empire.
There were a lot of tasks to be finalized, but fortunately, Gawain was taking care of them.
I guess this is the reason why we need to recruit talented people.
– All right, all right.
While I was lost in thought, the carriage stopped.
“We have arrived, low.”
“yes.”
The driver opened the door and Leo got out of the carriage.
Today, however, it was not a meeting of nobles who had to laugh awkwardly.
“Welcome, my dear.”
“I’ve been waiting impatiently.”
Older men looked at Leo and their eyes twinkled.
“Yes. long time no see.”
Leo had previously given a brief lecture to the mages of the Empire at Hydra’s Pond.
He was taught how to destroy magic based on Leo’s unique ability to see magic.
Of course, not everyone can follow the instructions, but the wizards of the Empire became Leo’s fans from then on.
Today, as a kind of fan meeting, was a special lecture for the wizards of the empire.
