Two brothers looking at themselves with absurd eyes. Alice and Kizan.
“uh… .”
Leo scratched his head awkwardly.
“no… It’s not like I’m deliberately trying to deceive… hahahaha… .”
He simply admired the talents of his older brothers and sisters.
Now, only 13 or 14 year old children have broken through the wall of a 4th class mage.
If he continued to grow well, he could become the future Duke of Bahelm.
Moreover, Leo would continue to help by his side, so that future was 99% guaranteed to come true.
Of course, Leo was superior to these two because he was a character created by ignoring all kinds of talents.
Doesn’t that hide the genius of the brothers?
“Leave it alone. It’s not once or twice that he’s been like that since before.”
Kizan held back Ellis from the side.
Kizan, who was a bad boy in the past, has grown up and has become taller.
Almost the same height as Leo. nice appearance. Also, his personality wasn’t the tyrant Leo remembered.
He laughed at everyone and lived seriously in magic.
“Well. My brother is also very good.”
Leo patted Kizan on the shoulder with a proud expression.
Originally, he was a person who should have become a rare piece of garbage that ruins the Roman Kingdom, but he has changed for the better.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Alice and Kizan looked at him with strange expressions.
At this point, I don’t know who is the younger brother and who is the older brother.
“brother. Leave me alone like that?”
“… I’d like to get a hold of one. Actually, I’ve thought so since I was little. Although I was robbed in reverse.”
“Puha.”
Eris laughed as Kizan shook his head.
Then she looked at Leo.
“Hey Leo. thanks.”
“what?”
“You have the dagger you gave me before. Thanks to that, I was able to get over the wall.”
The dagger of Gerang, one of the 5 heroes. Crimson Sword Ignir.
It contained the essence of a magician who handled flames, and Elise learned Gerang’s flames from it.
The arcane magic ‘Phoenix’s Judgment’ that he had originally learned was also a powerful arcane magic, and even Gerang’s flames.
She could be said to be the best flame mage in existence based on her potential.
“But didn’t you say that Gerang, who was one of the 5 heroes, was a magic swordsman?”
“yes. They say you mastered both sword and fire magic.”
Perhaps Gerang, who is said to have died in the heavens, is still alive?
“So I thought I’d learn some swordsmanship too, but I don’t have much talent for swordsmanship.”
Elise shrugged.
After returning to the royal castle, she asked the royal knights to practice swordsmanship in earnest.
Since I was a child, I have been steadily training in physical strength.
That’s why I added the process of learning swordsmanship technically, but I felt a lot of limitations.
“Unlike magic, I realized that this path is not my field.”
“what… This can be happen.”
Leo nodded.
In order to succeed as a magic swordsman, you must be born with overwhelming talent in both fields.
Even if you search the entire continent, how many people like that would come out.
‘Sister Olivia is very special in that respect.’
My older sister Olivia and her friend Ailee met at the academy.
Both of them were gifted with very special talents.
Olivia is a prize that will one day become a magic swordsman, and Ailee will be active as an archaeologist and dungeon explorer.
That’s why they were talented people with high hopes for the future.
“It’s fine. It’s enough for you to keep walking the path of a mage like you are now.”
Leo pointed at himself to boost Elise’s confidence.
“Look at me. He’s weak, has no stamina, and can run properly, so he’s succeeding as a mage.”
“but. Leo, you are serious.”
“… … ?”
what… ?
Kizan also nodded beside him.
“Leo’s stamina is definitely serious. Among the high-ranking mages, where is such a person? Even wizards, not mages, have much better physical strength than ordinary people because they can handle mana.”
“right. This is also a special feature that is hard to find in continental history books. It’s a twin wagon with talent. I hope you have a lot to say when you come to a great man exhibition later.”
“Kick.”
Elise looked at Leo.
“Hey Leo. Let me know if you need to go anywhere else. Especially when going up in the mountains or going to rough terrain. My sister will pick me up again. Understand?”
“… … .”
The two of them seemed to have fallen in love with the fun of teasing Leo, and continued to say a few more words after that.
Leo clenched his fists.
‘No, these?’
* * *
For a while, Leo spent peaceful days in the royal castle.
Practice, practice, practice.
‘Has life been so hectic these days? It’s okay to have this kind of leisure after a long time.’
While drinking tea in the garden, Leo smiled slightly.
Of course, his daily schedule was by no means laid-back.
Help Celise practice from early in the morning until late at night.
Even so, during meals and breaks, he visited his brothers and taught them magic.
While teaching at the drafting academy for a while, Leo realized the importance of education.
There were many good influences, such as revisiting the knowledge I knew while teaching others.
So, except for 3-4 hours of sleep a day, Leo devoted most of his time to training.
If others hear it, they may wonder what kind of hellish schedule that is, but it was quite relaxed for Leo.
‘I don’t have to fight anyone, and I’m not going anywhere to attack. All you have to do is practice quietly in your room. It’s so comfortable and nice.’
I wondered if I could be comfortable and good like this.
Leo glanced at the time.
About 40 seconds had passed since we had our tea time.
It was time to drink tea and move for another minute and 20 seconds.
– Ugh!
That was the moment.
Powerful magic power began to sway at Leo’s side.
Surprised, Leo jumped up from his seat.
‘no way… !?’
A precursor to the shaking of this space.
i had seen it a while ago No, I’ve even experienced it myself.
It’s not space travel!
‘Nel?’
Nell belonging to Cheonoecheon who was with King Karst.
Did the girl with purple hair reappear?
Leo’s hand moved as all the thoughts passed through his head.
After freezing the magical power around the turbulent space, creating a barrier of ice around it, and then placing barriers and various attack magic on top of it to restrict movement.
– Damn it!
A magic link unfolded in an instant!
‘This isn’t enough.’
However, Leo was full of regret.
It was so sudden that there was little time to react.
Can not help it. From now on, I think I will have to respond accordingly while engaging in battle.
– Ugh!
The movement of the space twisting progressed further, and soon someone came out from inside.
It was a woman with wavy blue hair.
“Kyaa, kyaaak! what’s this!?”
As soon as she came out, she was horrified to see the ice that restrained her limbs.
“yes… ?”
Leo tilted his head.
“Vivian?”
It wasn’t the outlandish Nell that Leo expected, it was Vivian, the fairy queen.
“What, what kind of magic did you install? Are you determined to kill me?”
Vivian was exactly caught in the ice traps created by Leo.
His arms and legs were frozen solid, confined in midair.
She tried to struggle, but how could Leo’s ice break with something like that?
Besides, even the mana did not move properly.
Because of the mana that was as heavy as water-soaked cotton, Vivian was quite embarrassed inside.
‘What kind of magic is this?’
It’s difficult to accurately compare with humans, but Vivian is at the level of a 7th-class mage.
Of course, it was specialized in space, so the attack power wasn’t that strong, but to be subdued in an instant like this?
Leo’s magic freeze was not perfect yet.
However, it was very fatal for Vivian, who was sensitive to space.
“Hey, release this quickly.”
“Ah, yes. I was surprised and made it without even knowing it. I’ll release you quickly.”
Leo clapped his hand.
He was a man who could easily destroy other people’s magic, so it was much easier to dismantle his own magic.
In the blink of an eye, the ice around Vivian disappeared and she landed on the floor.
“Just this… What kind of magic is it?”
Vivian asked, dumbfounded as she kneaded her wrist.
“Actually, I tried to escape at first, but the mana was heavy and I couldn’t move.”
“I am researching these days.”
“research? What kind of monster are you researching this nonsense to become… ?”
I thought it was unusual even when I first saw it, but now I have no idea how much stronger Leo will become.
Leo was difficult to explain, so he changed the subject.
“Anyway, why did you come here?”
“Why? Are you Countess Ermery? The woman came to the underground magic tower and informed me. that you have returned to the kingdom When did you go without saying anything?”
Lately, Vivian has been immersed in magic training with Prince Bahelm.
He didn’t even know that Leo had disappeared because he was locked in the laboratory of the underground magic tower and didn’t come out well.
“what… Somehow I came back.”
Leo shrugged and smirked.
He met the former Lycanthrope Warchief and pierced the wall to the Transcendentalist, but out-of-the-world monsters appeared and sent him here.
how would you say
“By the way, it just went well. There is something I can help you with.”
“Are you going to pamper me as soon as you arrive? What?”
“There is an alchemist I would like to introduce to you, Sonia. I hope you can get me some of the materials he needs.”
Lately, Selize’s training has been sluggish.
She looked like she would cross the wall and reach the Sword Master at any moment, but she was blocked recently.
There are two solutions in this situation.
or put more time and effort into it.
‘Otherwise, I’ll have to borrow the power of objects.’
If you look closely on the continent, there are artifacts that will help you rise.
Leo knew its location and effect, but it took too long to find it right away.
And artifacts are things after all. If it goes away, there will definitely be problems.
‘So I have to use medicine.’
Future Great Alchemist. If it was Sonia, she would be able to make several potions to help Selize.
Strengthen concentration, increase recovery, increase mana sensitivity, etc.
If you overdose, you will become addicted to it like a drug.
And now Sonia can make it just right, without worrying about drug abuse.
The problem is that those materials exist all over the continent’s rough terrain, including the fairy forest… .
“My space transfer shuttle… Not my friend Vivian. Let me ask you a favor as a friend. I’m counting on you.”
Leo patted Vivian on the shoulder.
