112 – Each one’s way 1
The older sister and senior Blood that I love so much right in front of my eyes
As he listened to her words, Soul’s face was filled with deep bewilderment.
“That… so… that Santana’s combat power far surpasses that of her sister?”
“okay. On the outside, he had the appearance of a weak novice wizard, but in fact, his strength was literally at the level of a monster.”
“How could such a thing be possible for a guy who can’t normally learn magic because of the aura?”
“I don’t even know the details. but..”
Along with that, Blood points a finger at his bandaged face.
Immediately after leaving Bohemia Castle, it was a pitying mess, and now, barely giving first aid, it could be said that it was a cross-section of how completely she was robbed by Santana.
“At least… just seeing that I’m like this, I don’t need to explain anymore, right?”
“..well.. that’s true too.”
It was Blood, a whopping 10th grade witch, and at the same time, she had the personality to always handle the task perfectly.
As much as there was no possibility that such Blood would compromise with Santana in the first place, Soul had no choice but to believe her words straight away.
“Then what shall we do from now on?”
“It hurts to fail the mission, but there is nothing we can do about it now. First of all, we have to go back to Sofia and report the situation.”
It was clear that the castle’s defenses would be incomparably stronger than before, as they had shoveled the ground once.
As much as I was ordered to proceed with the work as quietly as possible, there was no way to use my hands anymore in this situation.
Besides, there is a powerful wizard there…
As much as it was burdensome to deal with that Santana who was presumed to have more than 10th grade power, Soul had no choice but to agree with Blood’s words to retreat.
“Then let’s deal with that for now… what will he do?”
Although he couldn’t point it out because he was so distracted when he left Bohemia Castle, after a while, he was able to think seriously about this issue as he got some time to spare.
‘Honestly, it’s Boheima that he’s involved in… I don’t know if it’s okay to take a mage out of there like this. If he is unlucky, he can use this to grab a book…’
Unlike herself, it was a soul that didn’t have a specific part related to ‘him’, but if the woman who brought her here had something to do with ‘him”s plan in Bohemia, they would be in an awkward situation again. something that might happen.
However, in the position where he was ordered to hide his existence, Blood could not easily decide what justification to give to Soul to send that woman back.
On the other hand, Soul, who did not know how to feel Blood’s burning heart, answered as if it were natural to smile with anticipation on his lips.
“Of course, I’m thinking of making her a disciple. I know unnie will understand, but it’s not easy to find a gemstone like that, right? To have such qualities at such a young age, if you do well, you might really be able to become great.”
“..Uhm.. It certainly seems like I have the qualities, but.. No matter how much, will that b*tch willingly accept it? As you know, from our point of view, it’s the same as kidnapping that b*tch.”
“I’m sure it will be. It’s a chance to become much stronger than clumsy wizards and the like. Would I accept it right away?”
“No… that’s because it’s you…”
“Because don’t worry. In my view, that guy is the same kind as me. I will not reject my words.”
“… Umm..”
It was a soul who told stories that felt quite arbitrary, but Blood knew well that she was originally such a person.
over there…
Certainly, excluding external factors and purely looking at her ability, that woman’s latent power was at a level that even Blood could covet.
In particular, considering their talents as ‘witches’ like themselves, not ordinary wizards, even the current situation of 6th grade advanced witches is just about to have blossomed, so the soul’s eye itself had no choice but to be recognized.
‘I’d rather use that as an excuse if I didn’t have enough talent to oppose it, but that’s not the case… Umm… How do I do this? If so, should I properly release it while the soul is sleeping?’
I’m sorry for Soul, but I want to avoid causing friction with him as much as possible.
It was the time when Blood was thinking about this in various ways while thinking about it.
“Um… over there!”
“huh?”
“uh?”
The third voice suddenly heard the next moment.
The two of them looked at the place that was presumed to be the protagonist of this voice.
There, as they expected, that person…
The Bohemian woman they had kidnapped was looking this way with her eyes open.
However, at this moment, the girl’s face that they could see didn’t show the reluctance or anti-killing that Blood had expected.
“Is that story you just told… Really? Why did you really kidnap me…”
She speaks with urgency.
At this moment, Blood was able to recognize that what was visible in her eyes was the emotion of aspiration that Soul had talked about.

Quinn listened quietly to the conversation between the two while remaining silent.
However… the conversation they had in a short time was enough to make her mental state itself completely reversed with a great shock to the queen.
‘Santana… that bastard was hiding such strong power?… That kid had the power of a 10th level wizard?’
If anyone else had told this story, it was clear that she would have dismissed it as mere bullsh*t.
However, the people who were sharing this story were ‘strong enemies’ with the level of a 10th grade archmage, and the Queen had no choice but to accept that their story was not a lie.
Santana Andreas…
The fact that he really has the power to easily outperform himself.
And this fact was enough to give Quinn a tremendous psychological shock.
If not in other ways, she was a queen who prided herself on having a level that Santana and the like could not match, at least in terms of her ability as a wizard, and this was one of the few prides and pride she had against Santana.
However, this last pride was shattered due to the conversation between the two 10th grade witches, and it left a huge scar on the chest of the queen, who had an inferiority complex and anger toward her brother.
I couldn’t even get my father’s trust,
Even the successor position was taken away.
If she lacks even her magic skills… it could be said that her entire life would be denied.
But right after that…
In her despair, she began to hear the story of the two connected witches over and over again.
It’s a story that is enough to motivate her from despair.
The story that she has great talent latent and that she can become stronger than ever before.
The moment she heard this, Quinn, who had fallen into a swamp of frustration, had a glimmer of hope again and made a quick decision.
‘Listening to me, those guys don’t seem to know who I am. Then the path I have to choose here…’
If he revealed his identity here, he might be able to go back to Bohemia through a process like a series of transactions.
However, as she listened to the conversation between the two previous witches, Queen’s desire to return to Bohemia almost disappeared.
‘Anyway, my father doesn’t need a child like me.. Because he has a son who is so precious and capable that he can’t compare to someone like me. You won’t even have regrets for me, the daughter you don’t even like very much. then..’
There was a good chance that if she went back anyway, the only thing left would be to become a chess piece for her younger brother, Santana.
In that case, it would be better to join hands with these people who are recognizing their abilities.
It was her conclusion that it would be much better for her to become their disciple and let her talent blossom.
Accordingly, the queen asked the two of them while hiding her identity.
“I… I want power. So please… accept me as your disciple!”
