Beginning of the Revolution
Leon looked at the two girls.
Lily and Anna had opposite looks.
Lily is 178 centimeters tall and has a well-trained body.
Anna is incredibly dwarf at 148 centimeters.
It didn’t even match the magic they were learning.
It may be a prejudice, but wind magic has a strong image of fast and light magic, and earth magic has a strong image of dealing with heavy mass magic.
However, Lily, who belonged to the Marquis Family of Tempest, the authority on wind magic, has a well-trained body, whereas Anna, who belongs to the Marquis Family of Forrest, the authority on earth magic, has a light body that makes it feel like she is 19 years old.
Seeing Leon’s eyes looking at them, Lily Tempest asked with a confused expression.
“You mean Leon Farostel? A demonic genius and famous for being nicknamed “Thunder Dragon…?”
“Lily. Be careful. Leon Farostel was recognized as a saint in the Holy Empire. I can’t use the term demonic genius any more.”
And Anna Forest calmly corrected Lily’s speech mistake.
However, Anna also had a confused expression on her face.
Lily covered her mouth in surprise, and Anna asked a question to Leon.
“Are you sure you were Principal Preszel’s first disciple? Should I call it the death penalty? So, what do you mean? Are you going to teach us magic?”
Leon found Anna’s attitude interesting.
It was because of the mismatch in appearance and origin, but the personality was also different from the appearance.
Lily, who looked tall and docile, had a clumsy personality, while Anna, who looked younger than anyone else, was calm and cool.
“Actually, I am not a disciple of Principal Preszel. The reason I have called you all this way is to make disciples of you.”
“what?!”
“Please explain in more detail.”
“How much do you know about me?”
Words came out of Lily’s mouth, sasaeng, and Anna intervened to correct it.
“He is the eldest of a commoner’s mother, but with the talent of the Yongin people, he has an amazing ability to rise to the third place in the succession line.
When I put it this way, I could feel that Leo’s position had changed to the level of heaven and earth.
“Obviously, as you said, the process to get to that position was not as easy as it sounds.”
Leon roughly explained what efforts he had made to gain the position he is now.
The reason I explained it was that in order to explain the relationship between Principal Preszel and Leon, it was necessary to understand the background.
“You mean you were just disguising yourself as Principal Preschell’s apprentice to skip the academy?”
“You were the one who taught Principal Preszel the magic resonance induction technique?”
However, Leon’s footsteps were far beyond common sense to convince with simple words.
Two years ago, at the age of only 11, he persuaded Principal Preschell to become a vassal and wrote a thesis on magic resonance induction to strengthen his influence in the magical world?Read at noblemtl.com
Just to protect your own safety?
“If what you say is true, then why the hell did Principal Preschell come under you? Now you are one of the most powerful people. But back then, he was a bastard who couldn’t even enter the academy at will.”
“Simply put, I can only tell you that Principal Preszel had a seeing eye, but you wouldn’t be convinced by such an explanation. What do you guys think of the current tower?”
“Matop? What tower?”
Lily tilted her head to ask, and Anna thought for a moment before coming up with an answer.
“By the way, I heard a story like that when I was young. Principal Preschell is a dangerous person with a radical mindset who is dissatisfied with the Matopian system. It was only now that he secured that position with the magic resonance induction technique, but before that, his position was only in the name of managing and guiding elementary school students. This is because Principal Preszel was recognized as a dangerous person in the tower and was wary of it.”
Indeed, she is the youngest child of the Marquis family of Forrest.
Even stories that are not easily heard by ordinary women seem to have been easily accessible from a young age because they came from a mage family that had a close relationship with Mato.
“Do you know what Principal Preschell’s middle name is?”
“Polak….”
“It’s a marginalized family that was destroyed by the demons. After that, Principal Preschell committed himself to the battlefield at a young age and accumulated various feats, but the situation of war has not changed. In the first place, he realized that change could not happen in the Philo Kingdom, which is managed by the firm system of the tower, where only those in power enjoy power.”
So, Donovan headed to the academy to change the customs of the magic tower and to train successors who will be responsible for the future.
However, the academy cannot escape the management of the tower.
No, rather, the academy was the hotbed of the selfish and closed reality of Magic Tower.
At Leon’s words, Lily and Anna also shook their heads.
It was because they also felt something from Leon’s words.
They also came from a magic family that enjoyed relatively many rights compared to commoners and lower aristocrats, but at the same time, they were also wizards who were neglected by the family because they were women.
The saying that only those in power enjoy power was not limited to nobles and commoners.
As it often happens within families, only the heirs of the family can read the magic books of the magic family.
In this world that values ancestry, it was natural.
And it served one purpose: to prevent divisions within the family from occurring.
What would happen if the second son, who had a lower succession rank than the eldest son designated as the heir, had superior abilities than the eldest son?
The vassals who want to increase the prestige of the family threaten the position of the eldest son by serving the capable second son rather than the incompetent eldest son.
Naturally, the vassals who serve the eldest son will rebel against him and a conflict will arise within the family.
No matter what you do, it is difficult to see a consensus of opinion, and even though you know the correct answer that a boat will go to a mountain if there are many sailors, you come up with an erroneous conclusion.
The quietest solution to this problem is to discriminate against lower-ranking children in order to prevent succession strife in the first place.
He provides the family’s arcane magic book to the eldest son of the family and does not spare his full support.
In fact, this could be easily inferred from the fact that the owner of the magic tower has traditionally been the head of the four families of the Philo Kingdom.
In the long history of the mage family of the Philo Kingdom, was there not a single eldest son without talent?
However, the tradition of the tower did not break down.
In fact, it meant that the limits of talent could be overcome to some extent through the transfer of knowledge and professional education contained in the non-magical book under the magic tower’s rule that only those in power enjoy power even if there is no talent.
if so,
What will happen if we release the knowledge of the arcane magic book to the world?
Many wizards will be born in a world where it is accepted as true that commoners have no talent because they are born of low blood, and cannot learn magic because they have no talent.
No matter how powerful the demon realm is, mankind will be able to resist that power more easily.
The world that Principal Preschell wanted was such a world.
Anyone can obtain the knowledge they want, regardless of their status,
A world where everyone can wield magic equally.
A world where we can win the war against the demon realm.
“I just promised a world like that.”
Thus, Preszel was influenced by Leon’s ideas and pledged allegiance.
Principal Preschell knew from the beginning that he was a wizard with such an idea, so he only made such a suggestion, but in fact, it was something Leon had been thinking about all along.
Leon, who has experienced living as a binary type in the modern Earth, had no choice but to think about what would happen if the Radiant Continent could spread magical knowledge as widely as the modern Earth shared scientific knowledge and developed civilization.
“But that’s a very dangerous idea…!”
Anna made a shocked expression.
Only those in power have power.
And in this world, peace was maintained by such power.
But what if anyone could easily learn magic and wield that power?
There will be a great revolution that cannot be contained.
The commoners who have obtained powerful power will not obey the words of the nobility who are weaker than themselves, and people who try to rise to the position of power on their own will spring up.
A world where everyone can wield magic equally sounds good, but in other words, it is a sign of the beginning of a chaos.
The beginning of the Age of Warring States, which is no different from the Demon Realm, where only power rules the world.
“Of course, I don’t want a world like that. That’s why I have to develop more overwhelming power and move more carefully. But since you are also dissatisfied with the current turret, you came here cheering for Principal Preszel’s will to share new knowledge and magical truth, right?”
At Leon’s words, Anna had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
I’d like to rebut that, but if I put my thoughts back together, it’s just as Leon said.
He wanted to create a ripple by cultivating his personal ability to discriminate against the family he had been subjected to only because he was a woman.
That I, whom you ignored, became such a great wizard.
Although there was a difference in size, there was no difference between them in their intention to revolutionize their position within the family and in the tower.
But Lily said, scratching her head as if she couldn’t understand the current conversation.
“I don’t know about such a complicated story. I just wanted to be strong.”
Leon smiled contentedly at Lily’s remarks.
“If you take my lessons, you too can become strong. An executive of the tower, or maybe even to the point of reaching the top.”
At those words, Anna opened her eyes again in shock.
“Are you sure you want us to start the revolution?”
“I will be stronger in the future. Even if the world that Principal Preschell desires arrives, no one dares to challenge my authority, and I will hold in my hands a powerful force that can keep the peace intact. And we need you in the process.”
Leon reached out and held out his hand.
“If you take my hand, I will share with you a fragment of that power.”
It was a story so violent that it didn’t feel real.
But it’s not a lie.
A genius who reached the level of 8 circles at the age of 13.
Even after reaching the level known as the limit of human beings, how far can Leon go, hoping for more?
Anna felt it dangerous, but she could feel it with a trembling heart.
‘miss you.’
Leon will move forward, a future that no one has ever imagined.
Above all else, he could not stop learning the truth that Leon spoke of, and his passion for new magical knowledge.
While Lily ran out without a haircut and grabbed Leon’s hand, Anna quietly knelt down on one knee and lowered her head.
“I will follow you. Master.”
