Two Disciples
With the subjugation of the Death Lord as an opportunity, rumors about Leon began to spread with a rapid current.
Among them, the things that went up and down by word of mouth were the news of their engagement to Olivia, the fourth princess of the Millennium Empire, and the magic skills that reached the 8th circle, which she showed while subjugating the undead forces.
At the age of only 13, he succeeded in deploying Hellfire, an 8-circle flame magic.
It inevitably caused a lot of controversy within the Philo Kingdom, especially at the Academy.
The fact that Leon’s magic skills are great is a proven fact that everyone knows.
However, if Leon asked how many circles he had, no one could give a clear answer to that question.
This is because most of the magic Leon used were original magic that he created himself.
Can Leon be called a 7th Circle Wizard just because its power is comparable to that of 7th Circle?
That was not the case.
You may be able to get a good job by accumulating performance with those skills.
However, what was needed to graduate from the academy was skill + magical knowledge, and the magicians of the tower who claimed to be intellectuals could never recognize Leon as a magician of the 7th circle no matter how good his magic was.
Of course, the fact that Leon’s magical knowledge is excellent can be seen by anyone if you look closely.
A high-speed cultivation technology developed by synthesizing ammonia using the mana potion, pure potion, and ball milling methods to create chemical fertilizers.
The development of numerous signature magics, including the thermal imaging magic, Night Vision, and the room temperature superconducting magic, Thunderbolt.
In addition, the revision of the employee novel through the electrolysis experiment of water, the magic resonance induction method of the hit-up revealed through the headmaster Preschell, and the creation of artificial spirits, all in less than three years when Fire and Leon attended the academy. that happened within
and final blows.
Hellfire.
purple flame.
It was the essence and symbol of fire magic, which was known to be wielded only by archmage who had reached the limit of magic.
Leon Farostel, a boy who is only 13 years old, has cast an 8-Circle Anti-Magic!
As the rumor spread, people began to raise their voices of doubt.
What the hell is the academy teaching the archmage who has already reached circle 8?
In fact, even at the academy, Leon’s genius was well guessed.
I can’t be unaware of it because I have accumulated so many active activities and numerous performances.
However, Leon himself was attending the academy without any complaints, and even if he tried to ask Leon his intentions, Principal Preschell was holding on like a gatekeeper, so he decided to wait and watch rather than scratch it.
But now they can no longer keep their mouths shut.
And now the time has come for Leon to make a decision.
The reason Leon went to the academy was only for networking.
Leon was able to meet Vincent thanks to attending the academy, and through collaboration with Vincent, he was able to develop Pure Potion.
In addition, he became close with Mary Goldberg, a young girl at the top of the wealthy Goldberg, and was able to distribute mana potions and pure potions.
But that’s it.
The Academy was a place for talented people from the Philo Kingdom to gather in one place, but at least it took at least five years for them to gain fame and fully demonstrate their abilities.
Even if they were geniuses living at the same time as Leon, they were still only 16-year-old boys and girls at this point.
Moreover, Leon has already built up a network that exceeds the limit he can build on his own.
Ailee Philost, the second princess of the Philo Kingdom.
And Olivia Ibrium, the fourth princess of the Millennium Empire.
He succeeded in getting acquainted with unexpected people who did not exist in Leon’s plan.
Attending this academy would not be enough to build relationships with people with more power than them.
However, if we can get to know each other in different fields, such as Arya Rosbane, the hope of the Rosbane family who leads the Water Tower, Gale Tempest, who is known as the successor of the Wind magic tower, or the children belonging to the Forrest family who leads the Earth Tower, it will be a big step in the future. It could be helpful.
The problem was that Leon’s status and succession rank rose faster than expected.
Although Leon had only 5 circles, the amount of magic power was comparable to that of 8 circles.
Slowly, as originally planned, Leon was preparing to challenge the Marquis of Parostel, Marquis Melit Flare, the owner of the Parostel Magic House.
But what if the person who challenges the Red Horse Master of the Philo Kingdom has not yet graduated from the Academy?
In fact, his skill is equivalent to that of Circle 8, but there was a possibility that the elders of Matop would not recognize Leon’s skill because of attending the academy.
What Leon wanted wasn’t just a fight for the family.
Parostel’s name was to rise to the top in all fields of power, erasing all traces of his family from the world.
If he seizes the first place in the succession line and wins by challenging the family, the rights of the family will pass to Leon under the name of meritocracy advocated by the Marquis of Melit Flair Farostel, but the Fire magic tower is different.
Traditionally, the owner of the Fire magic tower was taken over by the head of the Farostel Magical Family, who are the authorities of flame magic, but Melite Flare Farostel is a powerful person known to have the best skills among all the Red magic tower owners.
There are so many wizards who believe in him and follow him, so if he seizes the position of Gaju with his strength and skill, there is a possibility that the elders will backlash and lose the position of the Red magician to another person.
Above all, Leon was a bastard whose bloodline was ambiguous.
Even if there is a tradition that the owner of the Marquis Parostel family becomes a red magic lord, the very existence of Leon itself was a person with many problems to keep the tradition.
It is said that winning the duel with the Marquis of Melite Flare Farostel is a prerequisite for achieving that goal, and after that, in order for Leon to obtain the Flame magic tower, he must obtain an academy diploma to secure public confidence or continue attending the academy. The two-and-a-half issue of whether to gain recognition by building connections with external forces such as the Water magic tower, the Wind magic tower, and the Earth Island Tower is being forced.
The former is a fast path, but it is not certain; the latter is a slow path but has stability.
The problem was the Gale Tempest.
Although it is a little slow, even if the graduation is extended for a definite plan, Leon’s relationship with the eldest son of the Marquis Tempest family, who has already been designated as the successor of the Wind magic tower, has deteriorated.
In the past, Leon and Arya had teamed up for a group project.
At that time, as the last member of the group task, a choice was given between Gale Tempest and Angelica.
However, at that time, Leon was making every effort to create an artificial spirit, and he thought that Angelica was holding the hint, so he pushed Gale and chose Angelica.
It must have been the supreme disgrace to Gail Tempest.
The eldest son of the Marquis Tempest family, who has a promising future as a candidate for the next Nokoma Tower, he is just a commoner and gets rejected by a magician who can only tame slimes.
Gail Tempest, who had a grudge against Leon after that incident, spread bad rumors about Leon with Cain Sirius of the Duke Sirius family and the children of the Forest Magician family, the owner of the Great Island Tower.
However, the atmosphere was reversed with the invasion of the royal capital by the Demon Dragon tribe Valcadus.
When it was revealed that the monster wave that raided the royal capital was triggered by Cain Sirius, the eldest son of the duke family, Cain was rejected from the family, and Leon, who subjugated the demon dragon Valcadus, emerged as a national hero.
With the disappearance of Sirius Cain, whom Gale Tempest was holding, Gaele’s power was weakened and he could no longer take a hostile attitude toward Leon, who received a medal directly from the king.
However, there was no way the bad feelings would improve, and Gale Tempest completely turned away from Leon.
Even if you continue to attend the sluggish academy as it is, it is difficult to expect improvement in relations with the Wind magic tower or the Great Island Tower.
So, what Leon thought of was the eldest daughter of the Tempest family.
A wizard who was born three years earlier than Gale Tempest, but was deprived of the right to heir because of being a woman.
Lily Tempest.
She is 19 years old this year, and she was also a third-year high school student graduating from the academy this year.
There are six months left until the graduation exam.
So, what if Leon taught her magic?
In other words, while taking the academy graduation exam, it is to build a network with other magic towers.
No matter how good the magic is, a woman cannot become the owner of a noble family.
However, taking advantage of the fact that he came from the Marquis family of Tempest, it would be possible to become an executive of the Wind magic tower and wield influence.
Like Lily Tempest, I heard that the Marquis of Forrest family has a female student taking the graduation exam this year.
Surely it was Anna Forrest?
According to the information collected through the information guild, both of them knew that they were reaching the level of 4th circle, which is average for a 3rd year high school student.
If that’s enough, you can expect a significant improvement in his skills just by making a small correction by Leon.
However, as Leon said he would teach them at first, it was questionable whether they would follow them.
Although the fact that Leon’s ability is excellent has already been proven by numerous performances, that does not mean that he is also excellent at teaching magic to others.
Leon’s image reflected in the public eye, putting aside the reality, was a magician who shunned the teachings of others and achieved a realm only with his innate talents.
How to eat well by someone who has eaten meat.
There was no way Leon, who had never been taught by anyone, could teach others skillfully.
So Leon decided to use Headmaster Preszel.
“The headmaster, please contact Lily Tempest and Anna Forrest, senior high school seniors. The headmaster himself will teach them magic by making them disciples.”
Principal Preschell, along with Leon, was a co-author of a thesis on magic resonance induction, and was also exerting a strong influence in the magical sciences.
Despite the age of sixtieth, there was no one who promised to marry, let alone a spouse, so many magical families greed for magic resonance, and many requests for engagement were pouring out of him.
Principal Preschell firmly stated that he would not accept any disciples except for Leon, so there was no way to obtain the magic resonance induction technique except by approaching by blood.
Among them, there were young girls who had just reached the age of Myo-ryeong, but Headmaster Pressel had no choice but to refuse all marriages.
The Magic Resonance Induction Method, originally published as a thesis, was a theory that was completely completed in Leon’s head, and the reason for publishing it under the name of Principal Preszel was only part of strengthening his influence in the magical sciences.
What if Principal Preschell suddenly changed his attitude and offered to accept disciples?
“congratulation! Now the hardship is over, happiness is the beginning!”
“You are a disciple of Principal Preschell. Literally, let’s sell it.”
Amidst everyone’s blessings and jealous eyes, the two girls went to the headmaster of Preschell with a very remorseful expression on their faces.
However, it was Leon, not Preschell, waiting for them in the principal’s office.
“nice to see you. seniors. My name is Leon Farostel, who will teach you magic.”
The two girls, hopeful that they would be able to learn directly from Principal Preszel, were confused and bewildered.
And they still didn’t know how great the opportunity that came to them was.
